Chapter 171: Solving Erkin's Jane
84_84070We were all stunned, we didn't know why this stone was like this, but the old man of Jinghu next to him showed surprise and excitement on his face, and blurted out: "Oh my God, this, this is the Heavenly Stone, it turns out that the colorful glow that often appears at the bottom of the lake is emitted by this kind of stone."
"Celestial Stone? That's what it is. I wondered and asked, the old man of Jinghu said: "From the time I came here, and the bottom of the lake often has colorful light, the teacher said, the bottom of the lake once had immortals lived, there are colorful stones paved at the bottom of the lake, and then the immortals volleyed away, the colorful stones often emit light, sometimes this light is great, even the surrounding valley, is also reflected together with the strange light, many people have seen it, all say that this is the fairy energy." β
Li Dong suddenly said: "Ah, I understand, it turns out that the immortal qi that you will always see outside the mountain is the light emitted by this stone." It seems that the legend is always false, and the truth is revealed, but that's it. β
I sighed: "But this stone and the strange mirror lake can be regarded as a great wonder in the world, if this place is developed into a tourist area in the future, I don't know how many people will flock to it and sell tickets." β
Ansari said lightly: "If that's the case, this place will be ruined." β
I nodded: "Well, yes, so, after we go out, no one is allowed to say anything about the situation here, can we do it?" β
When I said this, I looked at Li Dong, because Ansari and I would definitely not say it, but Li Dong is not necessarily, he is a local, maybe one day when he is happy, he will say it by the way, then this place will never be peaceful in the future.
Li Dong was also smart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm sure I won't talk too much, I don't dare to tell the secrets of the immortals." β
He looked happy, but I was not very relieved about him, not to mention anything else, just these two glowing stones, taking them out are enough to make a sensation for a while.
But this is not the most important thing at the moment, after we came out of the lake, the bubbles in the lake gradually decreased, it seems that this is all our fault for churning underneath, Ansari saw that the lake was fine, and the giant turtle gradually stopped being restless, so he took out the suspected piece of gold in his arms.
At this time, the moonlight was bright, but it was not enough to see the words on the golden slip, I turned on the flashlight, but I could only vaguely see the words written on the golden slip, and it was very similar to the one that was born more than 20 years ago, although the corroded handwriting is not clear, but you can see that the font is probably the same, and the meaning can also be guessed.
I suddenly became a little excited, I didn't think of this trip to Songshan, before Lao Pan arrived, we successfully found the martial arts queen Jin Jian, although, although I don't know what the benefits of finding this thing are, but thinking that this is one of the items that Uncle Lu Feng is looking for, I am still very happy.
The old man of the mirror lake was also quite excited, he had been here for nearly a hundred years, and he didn't even know the secret of the bottom of the lake, but Ansari took the gold slip and checked it, suddenly frowned, and said, "This thing is a little too corroded, it doesn't seem to be gold." β
"Not golden? It's also possible that what was dropped at that time wasn't gold in the first place. β
"However, how can there be three different materials of the three golden slips, praying for blessings, removing sins, and relieving misfortunes, unless the golden slips found more than 20 years ago are not gold."
I can't answer this question, because we haven't seen the original appearance of the golden slip, but looking at this golden slip, it is indeed corrosive, and if it is said that this is gold, it is really a bit far-fetched.
Ansari put Jin Jian away: "This time I have to go back and do an appraisal." Old man, you have been here for a hundred years, do you really not know about this? β
The old man of Jinghu shook his head: "I really don't know, if it weren't for the teacher who left here a few years ago to go out on a tour, and this Songshan was engaged in tourism development, which made a miasma, I don't even know what age it is outside, how can I pay attention to this thing buried deep in the bottom of the lake." β
What he said made sense, but we couldn't be sure of anything at the moment, so we had to put away the gold slip first, and I discussed it with Ansari in a low voice, and then planned to leave.
The old man of Jinghu also seemed to have completed an important task, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said that he would send us away.
We returned to the ancient cave, bid farewell to the old man of Jinghu, returned from the same road, and arrived at the tree hole where we first came down, the rope was still there, so we climbed up and finally returned to the mountain.
Standing next to the cave and looking down, the experience in the mirror lake just now, I was in a trance, thinking about the old man in the mirror lake, the space at the bottom of the lake, the giant turtle, the old ape, it was like a dream.
A gust of mountain wind blew, and my body was cold to the bones, and I came back to my senses, remembering that the clothes on my body were still wet, and then I looked at Ansari and Li Dong, they were all the same as me.
Although it was thrilling, this time it was not a small harvest, we did not stay in the mountains for long, we immediately found our way down the mountain, and when we finally returned to our residence, it was already close to midnight.
We first changed our clothes and managed to get some food, and then the three of us hid under the covers and discussed our next steps together.
Speaking of which, this matter originally had nothing to do with Li Dong, but today we were only able to go to Jinghu and get Jin Jian, I have to say that most of it is due to Li Dong, and he is a local and is also very familiar with Jin Jian's affairs, so we have removed most of his wariness.
At this time, looking at the gold slip found in the lake, I felt more and more that it did not look like gold, and it was mottled on it, very much like the oxidation and corrosion of bronze artifacts under water, although there was no water at the bottom of the mirror lake, but the water vapor was also quite heavy, we carefully checked it again, and Ansari said in an affirmative tone that this thing was eighty percent an imitation.
I'm a little puzzled, how can the gold slip that I worked so hard to get be an imitation, who was so idle and panicked, and threw a replica into the lake?
Of course, there are several possibilities for this, one is that when the Empress Wu threw the golden slip, the material used for the three golden slips was different, maybe the solution to the gold slip thrown in the lake was copper. If this assumption is true, then the second golden slip, which is the repellent golden slip cast to the magistrate, may be silver.
This is also very easy to explain, gold, silver and copper.
There is also a possibility, that is, when this Jin Jian was thrown, it was dropped, the real Jin Jian was taken away, and the copper Jane was thrown, this possibility is actually not very large, because dare to hide the Jin Jian of the Empress Wu privately, this is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, unless there is a very special purpose, otherwise just for a piece of gold, not to.
Moreover, that is, Jin Jian has been dropped by others in the long years, and the real Jin Jian has already been born, but he made such a fake, and deceived future generations by passing off the fake as the real in the lake.
It's highly likely, but who would do that?
We discussed it for a while, and finally agreed that the person who was the most suspicious was the teacher of the old man in Jinghu.
That is, the person who called himself the Nine Ridges Cave Immortal a hundred years ago.
The old man of Jinghu is open-minded by nature, a little naΓ―ve, he has been in Jinghu for a hundred years, and he doesn't even know the secrets in the lake, presumably the Jiuzhi Cave Immortal who left Jinghu ten years ago and didn't know where to go, must be very clear about the things in the lake, and he is also very likely to bring the real Jin Jian to do something, but we still don't know why he didn't go back for ten years.
Ansari suddenly sighed and said, "I haven't returned for ten years, and that Lu Feng just happened to be missing for ten years." β
Ten years, ten years, I suddenly had a thought in my heart, that Jiuzhi Cave Immortal and Lu Feng were likely to disappear in the same period, so would there be any connection between them?
But it's not quite right to think about it, if there is a connection between them, then two or three years ago, how could Lu Feng appear in Mirror Lake again, not only saved the old man of Mirror Lake once, but also agreed that I would come to Mirror Lake with the Tiangang Sword to take the gold slip at the bottom of the lake?
It was another unsolvable puzzle, and we discussed it late and didn't come up with a result, so we had to make a decision: sleep.
According to what Lao Pan said, we have overfulfilled our task now, so the next step is to wait for Lao Pan to come over and study it together, maybe he will know something we don't know.
Perhaps, he will come over with another instruction from Uncle Lu Feng.
However, lying in bed, I couldn't sleep, and I was thinking about Songshan Songshan, Wuhou Jin Jian, these things, and Mount Tai Underground Palace, or the Black Water Demon Cave, what kind of connection do they have? .
