In a blink of an eye, the medicine was dressed, and Xiao Laodao asked the old man who wanted food, "How is it, brother, how do you feel about applying the medicine this time?" ”

The old man blinked his eyes twice, seemed to feel the wound on his calf, and then said: "I don't feel anything, if I have to say that I have a feeling, it seems to ...... Cool silky. ”

"It's cool!" Xiao Laodao nodded and said: "Pharmacology pays attention to heat and coolness, and cold means that there is still poisonous gas on the legs, and the herbs are being pulled out." ”

After resting by the river for a while, Xiao Laodao beckoned everyone, it was time to open the mahogany box and take a look, and then, Xiao Laodao took the box, looked at it carefully, nodded, took out the dagger from his body, scraped it along the crack of the box, and said in his mouth: "The crack of this box is sealed with wax, and it must be scraped off to start." ”

After scraping a few times, Xiao Laodao beckoned Xiao Chujiu and soaked the box into the river until the box was filled with water.

Xiao Chujiu took the box, jumped into the river, and completely soaked the box in the water, everyone didn't understand what it meant, and saw that the box was gurgling and small blisters after a while.

I don't know how long it took, there were no more blisters in the box, Xiao Laodao threw Xiao Chujiu a rope at this time, and asked Xiao Chujiu to tie the box strongly.

After Xiao Chujiu bundled the box, Xiao Laodao beckoned him to go ashore, and then, Xiao Laodao held the other end of the rope on the shore, went upriver against the river, and "shabu" the box in the river.

Seeing this, the old man looked puzzled, and asked Xiao Laodao, "Daoist Xiao, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced back at the old man, and said with a smile: "The mechanism in the broken box, like this box with a mechanism, if you want to open it, and think that it can't hurt people, it's actually very easy, just throw it down from a high place and drop the mechanism inside." ”

"Throw it down from a high place, then, didn't that drop the treasure inside?" The old man said.

"That's right." Xiao Laodao said: "Just because we are afraid of breaking the treasure inside, we can't throw it down from a high place, we can only fill the box with water first, let the water soak those treasures, the object is difficult to break in the water, and then we shake the box, and use the force of shaking in the box to trigger the mechanism inside, so that we can't hurt us, let alone hurt the treasure inside." ”

When the old man heard it, he was surprised, and said "oh": "I see, Xiao Daochang, the old man has been taught." ”

As he spoke, suddenly, there was a slight vibration from the box in the river, and immediately after, green water emerged from the box, and because the box was soaked in the river, the river was flowing again, and the green water was quickly washed away by the river, forming a long green line on the surface of the river.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao frowned slightly, turned his head and asked the old man who asked for food, "Old brother, do you know what this green is?" ”

The old man shook his head, and Xiao Lao said, "This is poisonous water." ”

After a bag of cigarettes, the box no longer emitted poisonous water, Xiao Laodao pulled the box up, and then ordered everyone to dodge away.

After everyone dodged away, Xiao Laodao emptied the river water in the box and pried the lock on the box, but he didn't open the box in a hurry, turned to the back of the box, and lifted the lid of the box in reverse. Open the box like this, even if there is a trap in the box, the crossbow will not be able to shoot him.

After the box was opened, after waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, everyone gathered around, Xiao Laodao also turned around from the back of the box, and everyone looked into the box, and saw that the box was actually empty, and there were only some turmeric fragments scattered with arcs at the bottom of the box.

Xiao Laodao wrapped his hand in a red cloth, pinched up a fragment, looked at it carefully, and finally, two words came out of his mouth: "Wax pills? ”

The old man hurriedly asked, "What are wax pills?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at the old man who asked for food, and replied: "Old brother, in fact, those accomplices of yours died of poison." ”

"Poisoned?" The old begger looked confused when he heard this, and asked, "Then what kind of poison are they?" ”

Xiao Laodao asked the old man to look at the fragments in his hand, Xiao Laodao said: "These fragments, before it was a round ball wax pill, which was full of poisonous water, when your accomplice opened the box, the mechanism was violently stimulated to squeeze the wax pill, and the poisonous water in the wax pill splashed out and fell on your accomplice's hands and face, these poisonous water should be colorless, you were far away at the time, so I didn't see it." ”

"Then, what kind of poisonous water is this, that it can be so vicious."

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "As for what kind of poisonous water it is, then I don't know, it shouldn't be an ordinary thing, maybe it was refined with secret techniques." ”

The old begger heard Xiao Laodao say this, and stood there in a daze. Xiao Laodao ignored him anymore and focused his attention on the box again.

At this time, the master saw that the box was empty, and couldn't help but ask him, "Brother Xiao, why is there nothing in this box?" ”

Xiao Laodao smiled, "How can it be nothing, take a closer look, this box is divided into two layers, the upper layer is the mechanism, and the lower layer is the treasure." As he spoke, Xiao Laodao stretched out his hand and pounded it in the box.

Sure enough, the bottom plate of the box was actually alive, Xiao Laodao tinkered with it a few times, took out the bottom plate, and then looked at the box, revealing a crossbow structure mechanism, the mechanism is not big, but it looks hideous and powerful.

Xiao Laodao explained to everyone that one end of the mechanism is connected to the box cover, once the box cover is opened, the letter will be triggered, the wax pill will be forcefully crushed, and the poisonous water in the wax pill will be squeezed and scattered out of the box, and at that time, the people around the box will not be spared.

Xiao Laodao explained, and took out the mechanism from the box again, and at this time, there was another layer of bottom plate in the box. After Xiao Laodao took out this layer of bottom plate, everyone took a look, and saw that it was full of large and small beads, the largest of which was larger than the tomb beast's eye sockets.

When Xiao Laodao saw it, he was immediately so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and after taking out a few to look at, he beckoned Xiao Shiyi beside him, took two bags out, and divided these beads into two equal parts.

At this time, the old begger also came back to his senses, looking at the dozens of beads in the box, his eyes were straight, "This and this, take out one, it can be worth thousands of taels......

Xiao Laodao glanced at him and said with a smile: "Old brother, this is worth more than those bottles and cans in the tomb." ”

The old man stared at the beads in the box and nodded, "It's much better than those things......"

Xiao Laodao said again: "Not only is it much stronger, these things are better to sell than those porcelain, those bottles and cans, connoisseurs know at a glance that they are taken out of the soil, when they are valuable, they are valuable, when they are not valuable, they are some broken clay pots burned out of the earthen kiln, but then again, gold, silver and jewelry are different, and they are all hot goods at any time!" ”

At this time, Xiao Shiyi took out two cloth bags from the baggage and divided all the beads into two equal parts, and then, Xiao Laodao gave him a look, and Xiao Shiyi hurriedly handed one of the bags to the old man.

The old man looked at the bag and was stunned, and asked Xiao Laodao: "Daoist Xiao, you, what do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting." Xiao Laodao said: "According to our rules, if you provide a tomb site and go to the tomb together, you will divide half of it." ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want any of it." ”

Xiao Laodao smacked his mouth and said, "This is the rule, how can you break the rules." ”

The old begger hurriedly said: "If you say so, then you saved my life, how much should I give you?" ”

Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, "Old brother, you, you ......" The old man then said: "This bag of jewelry, if you have to give it to me, then I will give it to you again, just as you are the reward for saving my life." ”

"This, this ......" Xiao Laodao, who has always been able to speak well, was actually blocked by a sentence that always asked for food.

Xiao Lao Dao was helpless, and told Xiao Shiyi to put away the beads first, and talk about it later. Then, Xiao Laodao looked at the old man who asked for food, and said earnestly: "Brother, let's be serious, do you really want to repay me for saving my life?" ”

The old man nodded firmly, "The grace of saving lives is unforgettable." ”

"Okay, then I want to ask you for help with something now, I wonder if you can agree?"

"What's the matter?" The old begger actually showed a trace of worry, and said cautiously: "You tell me first, if you can help, I will definitely help." ”

Xiao Laodao seemed to see the old man's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, brother, it's not for you to take us to find the tomb before, but for you to go to Shu with me." ”

"Shudi?"

Xiao Laodao nodded, "That's right, I got a set of heads a few days ago, saying that in the area of Shuzhong, there is a great wealth and nobility sitting on the mountains and looking at the water...... It's a pity, my feng shui art is still owed, and I'm worried, no, I met you on the road, and I feel that this is the will of God. ”

"Shu Di ...... It's a little far away. Hearing this, the old man showed a look of hesitation. Xiao Laodao hurriedly said: "Old brother, how can you say far, think about yourself, what are you going out for this time?" Isn't it just to dig up the grave and ask for wealth, you have been out of the house for so long now, and finally went back empty-handed, do you have the face to see your family? ”

As soon as Xiao Laodao said this, the body of the old man suddenly shook, looked at Xiao Laodao, and asked softly, "Is your letter reliable?" ”

Xiao Laodao saw that the old man's mind was about to loosen, and immediately packed the ticket and said: "Reliable, of course reliable, otherwise, how could a few of us come all the way here." ”

The old man hesitated again, and after a while, he said: "Daoist Xiao, let me tell you the truth, I didn't do this, I am our feng shui master there, if you don't dislike me for being stupid, then I'll go with you!" ”

Xiao Laodao was immediately happy, "Okay, Poor Dao is waiting for your words." ”

The old begger sighed at this time, "If it weren't for the fact that I was forced to do something, I wouldn't have done this." ”

When the grandfather next to him heard this, he asked, "Who forced you to do it?" ”

The old man glanced at the old man, showed a helpless expression, and sighed again, "This is to blame...... I can only blame my son who is not angry, he owes a group of people who have gambling debts, and they come to the door to ask for debts, and we can't afford it, and they also know that I understand feng shui, so they have to follow them to the grave, isn't it...... I've been with them for two or three years, and I've dug up a lot of graves, big and small, but I haven't paid off the debt yet......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Laodao actually laughed and asked, "Old brother, you don't have to pay off your debts in the future, right?" ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Laodao weakly, and seemed to understand the meaning of Xiao Laodao's words, and nodded and admitted: "Yes, there is no need to pay it back, they are all hacked to death by me in the tomb......"
