Chapter 31: The Key

"Miss Wen, let's talk about this later, now let Shaoxia have a good rest!" Tong Guanshan hurriedly stepped forward in embarrassment and persuaded Dong Wan'er to the side.

"Little brother, it's not wrong for other girls to blame you, who told you not to make a move earlier, you could have escaped early, but you were deliberately tied up!" Qin Ming winked at him.

"Brother Qin, just say a few words! The old man thinks that Shaoxia is not that kind of person! Miss Wen is just angry for a while, Shaoxia has been in a coma for a few days, and Miss Wen has been waiting by the side every day, never leaving half a step. Oh, by the way, Shaoxia, Miss Wen is that Dong Wan'er girl. Jack Ma pretended to open his eyes.

"My head still hurts, you all go down, let me be quiet. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, he gave Tong Guanshan and Qin Ming a look.

Although Tong Guanshan was a little pedantic, he probably understood what it meant, and left the house with everyone. A moment later, Tong Guanshan and Qin Ming sneakily walked back.

"Haha, Shaoxia, Miss Wen has been taken away, you don't have to pretend!" Tong Guanshan said with a smile.

"You say a big man who is so scared by a woman that he doesn't dare to get out of bed. Qin Ming smiled from ear to ear.

"It's not you yet, it's okay to add oil and vinegar to the side, it's a matter of honor!" Ma Yun said helplessly. Without Dong Wan'er, Ma Yun felt comfortable and refreshed, and he always felt that there was something mysterious surrounding him, which made him uncomfortable.

Tong Guanshan and Qin Ming talked about what had happened in the past few days. First of all, before Ma Yun fainted, he frightened his subordinates into scattering and fleeing with the momentum of killing the deadly scholar, and everyone took the opportunity to find the key from the deadly scholar, and reoccupied the cottage under the command of Tong Guanshan, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The second is the poison of the beauty's drunkenness, and several medicine bottles were found from the deadly scholar, and the old man was familiar with pharmacology, tested the medicine bottles, and selected two possible antidotes. Qin Ming and Tong Guanshan discussed, one of them took a medicine, Qin Ming took it without the slightest effect, Tong Guanshan could invoke the internal force soon after taking it, and hurriedly gave it to Ma Yun after finding the antidote.

It's about Dong Wan'er again, it turns out that Dong Wan'er's real name is Wen Wan'er, the daughter of the Jiayuan city lord, when Jiayuan City was broken, the city lord disguised her and sent someone to escort her out of the city, but one of the guards had bad intentions halfway and attacked several other guards in the same company, Wen Wan'er took advantage of the chaos to escape, and fell into Ma Yun's trap in a panic. As for what secret seems to be between Wen Wan'er and the scholar who killed her, Wen Wan'er never said it, and everyone didn't ask.

Ma Yun chatted with the two while checking the situation in his body, and found that the mysterious energy in his body was very weak, but there was no longer that sense of condensation, it seems that the toxicity of the beauty drunk has been removed, and then as long as he meditates seriously for two days to restore the mysterious energy, after all, he was able to escape death several times, all thanks to the effect of the mysterious energy, but the mysterious energy was consumed a little quickly. He secretly made a decision in his heart, that is, to keep the mysterious energy full at any time, and to make up for it in time as much as he consumed.

As Tong Guanshan took out a palm-sized round jade pendant, the eyes of the three of them showed a fiery light. The jade pendant left dragon and right phoenix, carved very exquisitely, the scales and feathers of the dragon and phoenix are clearly visible.

"Brother Tong, could this be the key to that treasure house?" Ma Yun asked curiously.

"Well, Brother Qin and I both think so, but you haven't woken up, so the two of us haven't tried. Tong Guanshan's words made Ma Yun have a new understanding of him and Qin Ming, originally thought that the two were just bold and upright people, but they didn't expect that the treasure house was in front, and the two of them could still keep their greed, which was far from what ordinary people could do. From that moment on, he had completely regarded the two of them as trustworthy people.

"Two big brothers, I'm going to recuperate for two days to recover my strength, and then I'll go and open the treasure house, and then I can deal with traps. ”

"Lao Qin, although I really want to see what the treasure house looks like, I can still wait for two days!"

"This Black Wind Village has been doing evil in Jiayuan City for many years, and I have heard a little about it in Tong'an City, and there must be a lot of hidden treasures in it! But it must be full of traps, so it's right to be careful. The three of them put aside the matter of the treasure house and talked about some other things, and Qin and Tong said goodbye.

Two days later, Ma Yun, who had meditated for a day and a night, opened his eyes, felt the mysterious energy that had been restored, and smiled with satisfaction. With this mysterious energy in his body, he believed that as long as he was no longer careless and poisoned, and encountered a master like the deadly scholar again, there would be no problem in fighting head-on. In the past two days, while practicing the "Rejuvenation Technique", he recalled the thrilling battle with the deadly scholar that day, and had a lot of new insights.

The first is the shadowless swordsmanship, no tricks to win, swordsmanship is dead, and people are alive, don't stick to one move, the sword moves at will, so that the opponent is unpredictable. It seems to be attacking, but in fact it is defending, virtual is real, real is virtual, virtual and real, unpredictable. But at the same time, the change in moves is based on the fact that the strength of the two is not much different, the normal strength of the deadly scholar is far above him, the speed and strength are much faster than him, and his long sword was broken with all his strength.

I used to see such and such plots, which were basically to despise the opponent, even if they wanted to kill the opponent, they didn't take the opportunity to attack, but humiliated in every way, said a lot of nonsense, and then they were inexplicably counterattacked by the opponent, and then there was no more. This deadly scholar could have killed him immediately after he was poisoned, but he had to humiliate him in front of everyone, giving him enough time to suppress the poison. When he fought with him, he was full of disdain, and instead of taking advantage of the attack, he stopped and taunted him, giving him enough time to prepare for the final blow. Especially the last blow, if the scholar who killed him didn't have contempt, he should still have a chance to dodge, but he thought that he could easily suppress Ma Yun, and put all his strength on the fan, and it was too late to find out that something was wrong.

"In the future, we must not despise our opponents, if we want to kill, we must kill them directly, and we must not drag the mud and water and leave future troubles!" Every battle and every experience in this world has given Ma Yun a new understanding.

In the main cave, in front of a picture hanging on the stone wall, there were Ma Yun, Tong Guanshan, and Qin Ming, all three of whom were a little excited on their faces. Ma Yun reached out and lifted the painting, revealing a palm-sized circular shallow groove in the back.

"Brother Tong, give me that jade pendant!" After carefully observing the shallow groove for a while, he spoke. Tong Guanshan had already taken out the jade pendant, and when he heard this, he handed the jade pendant to him. After Ma Yun took the jade pendant, he put the jade pendant in his hand and observed it.

"Two big brothers, please see, there are a few subtle touch marks in the groove, which should be caused by touching these protrusions of the jade pendant, and this jade pendant should be put in this way. After speaking, he gestured a pose.

Qin Ming took the jade pendant, put his face on the groove and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Little brother has good eyesight, such a subtle touch trace, you don't say that I haven't noticed it, and I thought that I could just put the jade pendant on it." ”

"All Treasury mechanisms are very ingenious, and if they are not opened properly, they will touch the mechanism at least and destroy the Treasury at worst. Although the mechanism here will not self-destruct the treasure house, the poison gas trap should be indispensable. Tong Guanshan said with a smile.

"Okay, old boy, you know a lot, old Qin admires!" Qin Ming's words were yin and yang. Ma Yun and Tong Guanshan laughed and stopped paying attention to him.

Ma Yun put the jade pendant in a good position, and pressed it lightly into the groove, and the jade pendant disappeared into the groove. After a while, there was a "squeak" sound from the stone wall, and the stone wall where the groove was located began to shake slightly, and then slowly separated, revealing a hole two meters high and one meter wide, the hole seemed to be deep and pitch black.

"I expected this to happen, Lao Qin, I'm ready. Qin Ming proudly picked up a torch from the ground and lit it with the oil lamp on the wall.

"Brother Qin, slow down!" Ma Yun stared at the entrance of the cave for a while, stretched out his hand and pressed on a strangely shaped stone at the entrance of the cave, but there was no response, and then he held the stone and twisted it a few times, and then he saw a flash of fire from the entrance of the cave, quickly spreading to the depths, and then several torches were lit at the same time, illuminating the passage in front of him.

"It's... Little brother, how do you know about this mechanism!" Qin Ming asked curiously.

"I just saw that the stone was different, and it was not easy to touch, it should not be a deadly mechanism, so I tried it. ”

Ma Yun told the truth, although he had already seen the situation of the passage with his dark vision, but Tong Guanshan and Qin Ming did not have this ability, and the stone looked smooth, it seemed to be formed by long-term touch, and it was in a position that would not be deliberately touched, it should be a useful mechanism, so I tried to touch it.

The passage led diagonally to the ground, and the ground was paved with green bricks the size of a foot, and the three of them looked at the green bricks on the ground, their faces showing solemnity. "If there is a trap, it should also be triggered by these bricks. Tong Guanshan said in a deep voice. Ma Yun stared at the green bricks on the ground carefully for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"How is it, little brother, have you found anything?" Qin Ming now admires Ma Yunna very much, looking at him like this, he knows that he has made a discovery.

"Although these bricks are clean, if you look closely, some of them are still dusty, and some of them have faint footprints on the dust. Hearing this, Qin Ming and Tong Guanshan lowered their bodies and looked at the green bricks carefully, and then stood up with frowns.

"Old Tong, can you see the dust?" Tong Guanshan shook his head.

"It seems that the two of us are old, and our old eyes are dizzy!"

"Don't laugh at the two big brothers, let me walk in front, if there is no problem with the green bricks that you have stepped on, you will follow. Two big brothers, please rest assured, since I dare to do this, I am a little sure, and please believe me!" Hearing Ma Yun say this, thinking about his previous performances, Qin and Tong nodded.

Ma Yun smiled and stepped on a green brick.
