Chapter 178: Guardian

The light in the cave is not as dim as imagined, but very bright, at least you don't need any torches, you can see what the situation in the cave is like, and you can know where the light in the cave comes from.

It's no wonder that the air in this cave is so fresh that it doesn't suffocate in it.

But what if it's raining?

The rest of the people all went to the depths, and what they wanted was this so-called treasure, but only Xu Xi and Pei Huai were really not in a hurry at all, but Gu Chaoci and Wei Shuo were already following the public.

It's not that they didn't tell Gu Chaoci and Wei Shuo this secret, after all, Wei Shuo was the one who came to snatch this treasure for the current emperor, and they still didn't know about this matter, who made this treasure so tempting?

Knowing more is not necessarily a good thing for them.

Since it was said before that this place was just a bait, it means that in the depths of this cave, there are actually some gold, silver and jewelry, so as not to make people suspicious and suspect the inauthenticity of this place.

Xu Xi is not in a hurry, so let's go in later.

Now, she is a little curious about the top of this hole, she really doesn't know how this is made, the stone wall on the side, there is no trace of wetness, and there is no trace of being soaked by rain all year round, so in this way, when it rains, the rain can't come in.

But the sunlight and the air can penetrate it, so why can't the rain come in? This is really a very subtle method.

"This top mechanism is really interesting." Pei Huai looked up and spoke.

"There is a record in the history that it is said that the Xia State has a mysterious technology that can make a place, when the sun is shining during the day, it is full of sunlight, but once it is raining and there is no sun coming out, then all the mechanisms on the roof will be turned off, so as to avoid the infiltration of rain.

Come to think of it, this record is really not wrong, there really is such a technology. ”

When Xu Xi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "It seems that this is the principle of using solar energy." ”

"Sun...... Yes? Pei Huai looked at Xu Xi and asked puzzled.

"I'll explain to you what this solar is later, although this mechanism is very cleverly designed, but I think this should not be a complete mechanism setting." Xu Xi said with a smile.

After all, if this is placed in modern times, the use of technology should be able to create this technology more perfectly, but it is also a great masterpiece to be able to set up such an ingenious mechanism in ancient times.

Xu Xi also thought about it seriously, and he didn't seem to be able to make such a thing.

"Not in the most perfect state? So what counts as the most perfect form? ”

Pei Huai was very interested in what Xu Xi said, so he really wanted to know what the most perfect thing should be in Xu Xi's eyes?

"I can't explain anything to you now, if I have the opportunity to explain it clearly in the future, I will definitely tell you, for now, let's go inside and have a look before talking."

Xu Xi said, grabbed Pei Huai's arm, and walked towards the depths of the cave without hesitation.

"Kill ....."

"This is my view."

"It's mine."

"Let me put it down, or I won't be killed....."

"My ......"

The noisy sound came from the depths of the cave, and when Xu Xi and Pei Huai walked inside, what they saw was gold and silver jewelry all over the ground, and many people fought in order to snatch the so-called jewelry, no matter who it was, as long as they dared to step forward to snatch the jewelry in their hands, they would definitely cut it with a knife.

This is already a red eye-grabbing.

But there are still a few things that these people in the rivers and lakes have robbed, especially those countries, big countries with armies, and the things they occupy are still the majority after all.

After a quick shootout, a large number of men and horses are guarding, and whoever comes up will pass with a knife, depending on whether you are stronger alone or the whole army is stronger.

Anyway, I don't want to snatch the money in one or two boxes in those people's arms, as long as I am guarding a few big boxes, that's fine, this has formed a very good situation, people in the greedy rivers and lakes kill each other, and a few people in a small country can't guard one side of the money, so they can only risk death to seize one place and defend it to the death.

Gu Chaoci and Wei Shuo were the first troops to enter this cave with the Qingyun army, so they occupied the most advantageous position, and the money they got was also the one with the most money, and many people wanted to hit their attention, but they all died under their swords.

From a distance, around them, there are already a layer of corpses, and it is really a bit shocking.

The appearance of Xu Xi and Pei Huai did not attract anyone's attention, because in their eyes, there was only money and nothing else.

People die for money, birds die for food, this is probably the truest portrayal, right?

"This so-called bait has so much gold, silver and jewelry, so how many things are hidden in this real treasure?" Xu Xi couldn't help but say with a little smack.

Originally, I thought it was just a small part, and the kind of "bait" that could be seen in the past can be done, but now it seems that it is wrong, and people who don't know still think that this is the real treasure of the Xia Kingdom.

"At the beginning, the wealth of the Xia Kingdom can be described as amazing, especially the emperor of the Xia Kingdom seems to have let people sail overseas, and he once brought back a large number of valuable things, so the treasures of the Xia Kingdom are very amazing, otherwise, this would not have caused such turmoil as now, all the people have lost their humanity and only want the gold, silver and jewelry here."

Pei Huai looked at all this in front of him, and explained, "It is said that the wealth of Jinghu Palace is rich and rivals the country, but in fact, compared with the treasure of this Xia Kingdom, it is only less than one-tenth of it. ”

"So from this point of view, isn't this real treasure of the Xia Kingdom very amazing?" Xu Xi couldn't help but smack his tongue a little and asked in surprise.

"Probably yes." Pei Huai nodded slightly and said, "According to the treasures of the Xia Kingdom that I have researched and understood, the treasures here are estimated to be only one-third of all treasures. However, being able to take out so much gold, silver and jewelry just to be a bait, this Emperor of the Xia Kingdom is also quite broad-minded. ”

However, if this is not the case, wouldn't it make people suspect that this treasure is a fake?

Then this so-called bait seems to be a bit useless, isn't it? But no matter what, being able to come up with so much money is just to block everyone's greed, and this Emperor of Xia still has certain means.

"These things, he didn't bring them in life, he didn't take them away in death, he enjoyed them all his life, and he did all the things he did, so he didn't have too many regrets, so naturally he wouldn't really be so picky."

Of course, perhaps the most regrettable thing for the emperor of the Xia Kingdom is that he can't return to his hometown, right?

But in such a world, his existence is still recorded in history, and this is also something that many people dream of? It's time to be content, right?

Xu Xi and Pei Huai flashed past these people who were already crazy, and instead of snatching these things from them, they jumped up and came to Gu Chaoci and Wei Shuo's side.

"Chaoci, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Gu Chaoci seemed to be a little pale, Xu Xi immediately asked out loud.

Gu Chaoci shook his head strongly, and just said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

"Miss Xu, my lord, please take care of the court more, it's all my fault, I didn't be able to fulfill my promise, and the court was hurt." Wei Shuo on the side said with self-reproach.

At this moment, Xu Xi found that there was a little blood on Gu Chaoci's arm, and his clothes were also cut.

It seems that he was injured in the arm.

"It's not your fault, it's already very chaotic here, killing people without blinking, these people only have these jewels in their eyes, I will be hurt, it's also a reasonable thing, you alone, how can you beat these people back, and you still have to take care of me? So, it's not your fault, there's no need to blame yourself so much. Gu Chaoci looked at Wei Shuo and said.

"But as I said, I want to take care of you." Wei Shuo said.

"Now don't you take care of me? I just accidentally got a knife and cut my arm, and I didn't really get some serious injuries, you are a big man, as for such a big thing? ”

Gu Chaoci said unappetizingly.

She just didn't want Wei Shuo to have any psychological burden for this matter.

"I ....."

"Okay, there is no need to say it, General Wei is caring about you, you are injured, and the saddest person is still General Wei." Xu Xi interrupted the conversation between the two people, and after saying to Xu Xi, he also looked at Wei Shuo, and said again, "General Wei, the meaning of the court just hopes that you don't have any psychological burden, and she will also worry about you." ”

"Who worries about this fool." Gu Chaoci muttered in a low voice, although Xu Xi heard it, Wei Shuo still looked at her happily.

"Are you really worried about me?" Wei Shuo asked cautiously tentatively.

Gu Chaoci's face turned a little red when he heard Wei Shuo's words, what a fool, is now the time to ask this kind of question? Or is she so tactful and not direct enough?

Then why can Xu Xi see it, but this wood can't be seen? I still have to ask her so bluntly.

"It's a piece of wood." Gu Chaoci said angrily.

Wei Shuo laughed stupidly, in his opinion, this was obviously a tacit fact.

has guarded her for so many years, is this to keep the clouds open and see the moon? If that were the case, he would be the happiest man in the world.
