176. Jade plaque
Cen Xi glanced at Ade, and Ade immediately stepped forward to grab the owner and control him. No matter how respectful he was before, it was because he was in his territory, second, there were two martial arts masters around him, and third, the place he wanted to explore was unknown. However, at this time, the situation has been greatly reversed, and even in the belly of this mountain, the owner's men are dead, and we seem to have reached our final destination.
It's just that I don't know what Cen Xi originally asked for, and she seems to be a little disappointed under her slightly gloomy face. Naturally, he lost patience with the owner who seemed to be crazy, and ordered Ade to restrain him.
But in fact, the owner of the farm is not crazy, he is just desperate, and only listens to him shouting: "You let go of me!" The man said that as long as the light was turned off, the secret could be solved, and it must be medicine, and I had waited for this moment for so long. ”
It seems that he inadvertently revealed an important message, and even Xiaoyou stepped forward and asked, "What medicine?" ”
"Resurrection of the dead."
...... Everyone was speechless, including me, they all thought that the owner of the village was crazy, where in this world is the elixir of resurrection?
Cen Xi's eyes sank, "Ask him what's going on?" ”
Needless to ask, the owner of the farm, after breaking free from Ade's confinement, stated himself with a sad expression: "Thirty years ago my wife fell ill and died, and I was so grief-stricken that I brought her to this place and built a farm so that she could spend her last days in peace. Before she died, I had already started work on the mountain to build a mausoleum for her. She has been involved in feng shui, so she deliberately chose the piece of land, which can make her bless after she goes down. But on the first day of groundbreaking, it was found that something was wrong, and there were stone pillars buried under the soil. At first I didn't know what the pillars were used for, until I dug up a bronze box. ”
He paused at this point, as if to reflect on the past. But this matter also aroused everyone's interest, so Xiao You asked: "Is there any treasure in the bronze box?" ”
But the owner shook his head and said, "There is only one parchment roll in that box, which is a thumbnail of the whole cave." ”
Hearing this, it was no wonder that he seemed familiar with the terrain and unfamiliar with it, because even if there were thumbnails, it was impossible to mark the way to crack those formations, let alone know the hidden dangers.
But there should be something that the owner hasn't said, otherwise how would he think that there is a resurrection medicine underneath. Sure enough, he said that there were several paintings on the reverse side of the parchment, which depicted the scene inside the bronze, but it was facing the side of the bronze door, and there was no other mirrored stone wall.
There was an ancient man standing there and stretched out his hand to hand the brocade box to the kneeling man, and there was a person lying next to him, and after the kneeling man took the brocade box, he opened it and opened it to see a golden pill, and then the man stuffed the pill into the mouth of the man lying on the ground. In the last picture, the lying man also got up and bowed down with him to the standing man.
The owner of the village understood the painting and thought that the cave master told the descendants that there was a resurrection medicine in this bronze gate, which could bring the dead back to life. That was undoubtedly the last straw for him, and before his wife died, he tried all kinds of things to break this formation and enter here, but no matter how powerful the Taoist scholar he found, he couldn't crack the Qimen Dunjia Formation on the round platform, and he never opened the passage to enter the door.
Eventually, his wife died, but he had almost escaped into madness, trying to seal her body. He did not hesitate to spend labor and financial resources to expand the farm at the foot of the mountain, and dug up all the stone formations on the mountain, and then he was afraid that someone would covet it, so he even bought the whole mountain through connections and hired people with excellent skills to guard it in turn 24 hours a day.
And the owner is actually a genius, after looking at the thumbnails, he spent twenty years on the stone henge little by little to repair it, making it more ambiguous. He also opened a tunnel from the foot of the mountain to the belly of the mountain, and thus discovered the secret of the light and shadow on the cobblestone, which was even more powerful to him, and every once in a while he would come in to see if anyone had trespassed. It's a pity that none of the people he has invited over the years have been able to crack the formation of the round platform, let alone the bronze gate.
Sometimes when the obsession deepens, he becomes crazy, and the longer the time drags on, the more anxious he becomes, so this time he deliberately scattered the pictures of the stone henge on the mountain on the Internet to attract the attention of the masses, and privately let people release the wind in the antique circle, claiming that there is a palace under the stone henge, which hides thousands of years of ancient cultural relics, and is looking for people who are destined to find it.
I still don't think enough to hear this, with Cen Xi's caution, she definitely won't be attracted by the owner's vague words, there must be something that can really arouse her interest.
Gu Xi seemed to have insight into my thoughts, and asked Cen Xi directly: "What did he show you?" ”
Cen Xi lowered his eyes and paused, and when he raised his eyes, he looked at Gu Xi deeply and said in a low voice: "A photo of a jade plate." ”
I didn't stare at Gu Xi, but when she stared at him with such eyes, she subconsciously turned her head sideways, just to see a flash of light in Gu Xi's eyes. I don't know what the jade photo Cen Xi is talking about? How could Gu Xi be able to have such a caring situation?
Zhengjue didn't have a position to ask, and heard that the owner of the village was already on the side: "I didn't make up the picture, but when I first entered the round platform, I saw the jade plaque appear here, and I kept an eye on it at that time, and found a camera to take it." ”
He said that the jade plaque appeared here? Everyone should have the same idea as me, look around, where do you see any jade plates?
"Where's the photo?" Gu Xi asked suddenly.
Cen Xi's expression froze, and he actually took out a photo from his trouser pocket. When Gu Xi took it, I looked at it from the side, and it was not so much a photograph as a copy of paper. It was folded up, and when Gu Xi spread out his fingers, it was the size of A4 paper, and my eyes drifted up and stopped at a glance.
In the center of the paper, there was indeed a turquoise jade plaque that was threaded through with a string and hung there, and the surrounding space environment was on the side of the bronze door. Judging from the orientation, it should be suspended in the middle of the eight palace lights.
The reason why it attracted my attention was because the color of the jade was very similar to the jade whistle between my collar and the one on Cen Xi's wrist, but because it was a photocopied picture, there was a certain distance, and I couldn't see the texture of the jade clearly. If it is really another imperial green jade jade plate, then with its size as large as a palm, its value is immeasurable. And the jade plaque seems to have words on it vaguely, but it is really vague and illegible.
But there is no hanging jade plaque here, could it be that it was taken away by the owner in advance? I immediately vetoed this possibility, judging from the performance of the owner before I just came in and at this moment, it is not like it! He was even bewildered by the misty outside the door, sinking into despair, and the sigh of finally arriving here could not be disguised, but with excitement and restraint. And the despair revealed in the mournful eyes at this moment can't be played. He must have thought that the painting on the back of the parchment scroll left by the owner of the cave was a reminder that future generations would be able to obtain the resurrection medicine as long as they arrived here.
However, I have to say that he is delusional, and he wants to save his wife too much, and it seems to me that the meaning of the painting may not be as straightforward as it seems. At the moment, I just listened to his description, and I can't look at the painting and the thumbnail here, otherwise I might be able to refer to one or two.
It seemed that Cen Xi didn't think as much as I did, she walked up to the owner, her eyes fixed on his face and asked slowly: "Master, since we have helped you come here, can we complete the transaction?" ”
The owner of the bank looked confused: "Deal? Do you mean the jade plate? ”
Cen Xi pursed his lips and smiled, "You took so much effort to find us, is there any other deal?" ”
The owner's eyes were bright and bright, and finally dimmed: "You have also seen that the jade card is gone." ”
Cen Xi smiled lightly and said nothing, only looking at him calmly, obviously not believing his words. At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly spoke: "The thing is not with him." His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, Cen Xi turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Because he can't get here."
I heard Gu Xi say this, in fact, I also agree that the Qimen Dunjia Formation is not something that ordinary people can break, even if someone and Gu Xi have the ability to break that formation and three stone doors appear, they will not be able to open this bronze door.
It can be said that I stumbled by mistake, and it just so happens that my eyes can see more clearly than anyone else, and I can see that the lines on the door can actually form a three-dimensional gossip map, and the formation is also hidden in it. Otherwise, even if Gu Xi had the ability to break through the formation, he would not be able to see this formation that was extremely hidden. Therefore, if you want to enter this bronze door, it is really unlikely that there will be anyone else.
In addition, if the owner had ever come in, he would not have been so anxious as to rush into the passage where moths were lurking. But Cen Xi still didn't believe it, and questioned: "Could there be another way to here, or a gap somewhere where where someone may not be able to enter but the tools can enter, so that he can take the jade plate?" ”
Although it is said that her brain is a little big, it is not unreasonable. When the owner finds that the map digs a passage to reach the round platform, he will definitely not stop there, since he can't unlock the formation, he must think of other ways to see if he can dig the passage to the bronze gate. But apparently this road is impassable, otherwise he would not have despaired until today.
