Chapter 6: Difficult Choices
In fact, the whole iron box is rather two heavy pieces of iron that are connected together, and there is only room for such a small iron box inside, and the rest of the place is solid, real black iron.
But in this small iron box, which has been thrown by countless people and spilled blood, it turned out to be a dragon carved jade plate that was exactly the same as in the second uncle's hand!
The only difference is that the blood-red dragon carved jade plate in the second uncle's hand is divided into two large, four small and six pieces, while the dragon carved jade plate in the small iron box is a complete piece.
"This?!" No matter how I think about it, I would never have thought that the key to this iron box is a dragon carved jade plate, and after opening the iron box, it is still a dragon carved jade plate!
Not to mention the second uncle, even I, a person who has no ambition for the so-called Ten Secret Realms, feel that I have been completely tricked!
"Other than that, there's nothing in the tin box." The second uncle smiled bitterly and pointed to the dragon carved jade plate and said.
"The dragon's blood ink jade was found in the Tang Dynasty." I frowned and recalled, "It seems that it is said to have appeared for the last time during the Song Dynasty, and then disappeared. When it reappeared, it had become a dragon carved jade plaque. Second uncle, what do you think, who would make dragon blood ink jade into dragon carved jade plates? For what? ”
The second uncle looked at the dragon carved jade plate: "After Tang Xuanzong accepted the dragon blood ink jade, it became a treasure of the royal family, according to legend, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty once wanted to make the dragon blood ink jade into a jade seal, but because the craftsmen at that time said that this piece of dragon blood ink jade is extremely valuable, if it is made into a jade seal, the value will be reduced a lot, and the craftsmen at that time did not reach a peak high level, so the matter of making it into a national jade seal was shelved." In the late Tang Dynasty, the dragon blood ink jade was lost in the war, and in the Song Dynasty, someone once saw it in the Fang market, and then disappeared again, according to rumors, it was taken away by the Song Gaozong, and since then, it has never appeared. ”
I listened to the second uncle say so much, only to find that the second uncle's understanding of dragon blood ink jade was not much less than that of the seventh master, and even some things were slightly more detailed.
"That means that that piece of dragon blood ink jade has been in the hands of the royal family since the Song Dynasty." I guessed, "A certain royal family carved it into these two palm-sized dragon carved jade plaques." Since it is related to the Ten Secret Realms, it is very likely that these two dragon carved jade plates are the key to unlocking the secrets of the Ten Secret Realms! ”
The second uncle smiled at me: "Your imagination is really good, but there is also this possibility." The key point is that no one has ever told us that this dragon carved jade plate has something to do with the ten secret realms. It's all made up by us, or the only reason worth scrutinizing is that the late Qing Dynasty secret servant who has been looking for the Ten Secret Realms has been staring at this box, so we think that the things in the box are related to the Ten Secret Realms. My guess is even bolder than yours, will someone have completely found the location of the Ten Secret Realms hundreds of years ago, and have already been there, and then sealed it somewhere, and these two dragon carved jade tablets are the key to open that place. ”
As soon as the second uncle said this, I suddenly remembered something: "Second uncle, do you remember, Chai Lao Wu and they once said that the six small dragon carved jade plates were hidden in six different locations, and someone told them, but when they went, only one of the six locations was found!" Then, the person who knows the location of the dragon carved jade plate is likely to know the secret of these two dragon carved jade plates. ”
"One more thing!" The second uncle suddenly interrupted me: "You reminded me of this!" You once rescued a crow in the cave next to the Tai Chi Halo, and got a small dragon carved jade plaque from there, if I guessed correctly, this Tai Chi Halo is one of the ten secret realms! And the place where there are six small dragon carved jade plaques is hidden, it is likely to be six of the ten secret realms! ”
"This ......" I groaned and shook my head: "The first dragon carved jade tablet in my hand was obtained in the Afang Underground Palace, and that place is definitely not a secret place...... However, Ge Wei got a piece in the Jinsu Mountain, that place is the production place of dragon blood ink jade, and it may hide some secrets. Tai Chi halo, it is also possible, after all, this kind of auspicious acupoint is difficult to find for thousands of years, and it is definitely worthy of the name of 'Ten Secret Realms'. The remaining three pieces, two of which were sent by Chai Lao Wu, and the other small one was found in the Ming Qi Palace, which was not designated as one of the top ten secret realms, it should be hidden secrets, and one more point, now we can deduce that the earliest person who hid the dragon carved jade plate was the person named Zhang Qin in the Ming Qi Palace, about 1420. ”
The matter was reasoned by our uncle and nephew, and it became more complicated in an instant! What will be there in the Ming Qi Palace? Could it be that it is not the Ten Secret Realms or the Han Jia, and it is still related to the Ming Qi King Zhu Yu?
"Hmm...... Regardless of this for now, we have to spend this time first, and then think about the ten secret realms. Look at the ...... of these two days."
Before the second uncle finished speaking, he heard a strange movement from downstairs, and the second uncle reacted quickly, immediately turned around and turned off the light in the secret room, lowered his voice and said, "Xiaorui, go out slowly!" ”
I nodded in the dark, because there was no window in the secret room, as soon as the light was turned off, I couldn't see my fingers, I listened to the second uncle seem to put away the iron box, and after a few seconds, my eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, and my hands groped a little bit towards the door.
When I touched the door of the secret room, I saw that the shadow of the second uncle was not far behind me, nodded at him, stretched out my hand and slowly opened the door, and the sunlight outside shone in.
The hallway was empty, and when I walked over to the railing and looked downstairs, it was empty, and it seemed like we were getting nervous.
"Second uncle, no one." I turned my head and said to the second uncle behind me.
The second uncle nodded, walked to the railing, and was just about to speak, when suddenly I saw a figure running downstairs, and before I could see who it was, I was covered with a palm!
"He Yunchang?!" The second uncle saw the person coming clearly, frowned and said, "Why are you here?!" ”
I followed He Yunchang a few steps back, and when I stood more than two meters away from my second uncle, I felt that the hand covering my mouth was powerful and could not struggle at all.
"I'm going to take him back." He Yunchang's robotic voice rang out behind me.
"Huh!" The second uncle smiled: "He Yunchang, don't you know that Hanjia is no longer in our antique shop?!" ”
"I don't know." He Yunchang replied very simply, as if Han Jia had nothing to do with him.
"Xu Zeming asked you to come?" The second uncle frowned: "Let you take Gu Rui back, be a hostage, and force us to hand over Hanjia, right?" ”
"It's not." He Yunchang's style of speaking is a bit like a cloth bag monk.
The second uncle's brows furrowed even deeper: "Then it seems that Mr. Xu, he has already obtained a complete set of Han armor, right?!" ”
He Yunchang didn't speak, and took me downstairs two steps, and the second uncle took a step forward and said loudly: "He Yunchang! According to your age, I guess I want to call you senior, looking at your appearance, it shouldn't be as simple as just coming to take Gu Rui, right?! ”
Second Uncle's words shocked my heart, and then I thought about it, too, if He Yunchang is just to take me away, why do you want to talk nonsense to the second uncle here!
When He Yunchang heard the words of the second uncle, he stopped, and after a few seconds, he let go of me, but he grabbed my left wrist: "Don't want to run!" ”
I smiled wryly: "Senior, I can run!" ”
He Yunchang ignored me, but looked at the second uncle and said word by word: "Xu Zeming got the whole set of Han armor, but I don't want him to take advantage of Tai Chi Halo!" ”
These words, in turn, made the second uncle stunned, and I was also stunned - what does this mean?! He Yunchang is the number one master under Xu Zeming and a confidant, why would he say such a thing?
"What do you want to do?" The second uncle asked rhetorically.
"Now that China's luck is flourishing and the four seas are leveling, Xu Zeming must not be allowed to use Tai Chi to turn over the river and the sea." He Yunchang was wearing a black T-shirt, broad shoulders, a rectangular face, and a blue face, standing here like a zombie, funny and terrifying.
"And what are you going to do?" The second uncle looked at He Yunchang and asked.
"Hope ......"
"Senpai!" I interrupted He Yunchang's words: "The Seventh Master and the Budai Monk will also not let Xu Zeming do that!" You should know that the Seventh Master and Xu Zeming have known each other for a long time, and they are friends, so Xu Zeming will not do anything to the Seventh Master! If I'm not mistaken, Xu Zeming may not have thought of this, he asked you to arrest me so that I could help him in the future operation, right? ”
He Yunchang turned his head to look at me a little, and nodded slightly: "That's right, what are your plans?" ”
"Hanjia has been stolen ......" the second uncle smiled bitterly: "I don't want to know what kind of master Mr. Xu's subordinates can steal Hanjia from me unknowingly, but what I know is that if I guessed correctly, now in other places, there are also people who want to take away the seventh master and the cloth bag master, as far as I know, these two are seriously injured, and the cloth bag master has lost a left arm, if you succeed, it will be even more difficult to stop Xu Zeming!" ”
