Chapter 0135. The treasure of the Empire

When Chen Xuan walked in front of the big black bear, it didn't dodge, but put its thick claws on his shoulder, this kind of action has a double meaning in the animal kingdom, the first meaning is to do it yourself, and the second meaning is to express the meaning of friendliness.

Now it is obvious that it should be the second meaning, so Chen Xuan does not feel very nervous in his heart.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the big black bear is the first meaning, Chen Xuan's cultivation can completely beat it into a mess.

"So, you should have something else to ......hide," Chen Xuan asked further.

The big black bear nodded, its mouth still open, but it couldn't speak, but at this time it was no longer wiping its tears.

When Chen Xuan's hand grabbed the claws of the big black bear, he suddenly had a strange feeling, not yet, when he reacted, the big black bear's claws flipped violently, and a human hand came out of it.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan was taken aback, took a few steps back, and scolded loudly: "You are not a beast, what are you?!"

The human hand hesitated for a moment, then continued to extend outward, and finally the entire palm, then the arm, and finally a small, boxy head emerged......

Chen Xuan was stunned, the whole process was as if a woman was giving birth, and it was going on in an orderly manner step by step.

In the end, the bear skin that looked like it was gurgling just now was completely deflated, and a young man who was about the same age as Chen Xuan stood in front of him exhausted.

But the lad looked like a dumb man, for he never spoke.

Chen Xuan was startled at first, but soon he understood what was going on, this poor young man, perhaps bewitched by others, was tricked into this stinky skin, and then wandered around.

Grabbing this stinky skin bag from the ground, it turned out to be a real bear skin, and Chen Xuan was even more surprised.

I thought, this kind of big black bear is the treasure of our Great Chu Empire, just the fat bear paw can be used in medicine, and it can also save many people's lives, over the years, due to uncontrolled hunting, the number of big black bears has become less and less, and it has become an endangered animal, and there are few of them in the place where this animal was abundant in the entire empire before.

So what does this young man mean by dressing up as a black bear?!

Chen Xuan felt puzzled, but this young man was a mute and couldn't speak, so he could only find someone who could talk.

After making up his mind, Chen Xuan racked his brains and made a few messy movements, and finally let the young man understand what was going on, he asked the young man to pick up the bear skin, and then walked in the direction of his house.

But to Chen Xuan's surprise, the young man did not lead him in the direction of Wangjia Village, but directly bypassed this section of the city wall, and soon they found a small doorway.

Walking here, the young man turned back and signaled that this was his home.

The cat bent over and followed him into the doorway, and soon found a small hall, with a straw-made bed, where an old lady sat upright, anxiously waiting for something.

As soon as the young man walked by, he fell in the old lady's ear and gestured something with her......

The old lady glared at Chen Xuan, her eyes lit up, she stood up tremblingly, and finally spoke, "Young man, you are my grandson's savior, I want to thank you......"

"Grandma, what I was supposed to do just now is just what I should have done, but your grandson was so careless that he was almost killed by those two villains. ”

The villains in Chen Xuan's mouth were naturally those two fat and thin hunters, in his divine sense, these two guys with different hearts and mouths, although they were indeed walking towards their village now, they were walking slower than snails.

Looking at Chen Zhong again, he seems to be groping on a road now, but he has not yet found a way into the village.

"Old lady, apart from the two of you, is there anyone else in your family, such as your son and daughter-in-law?!" Chen Xuan asked.

As soon as she asked about her son and daughter-in-law, the old lady was suddenly full of sadness, thought about it, and said to Chen Xuan: "My son and daughter-in-law have been sold to the Great Qin Empire......

His words made Chen Xuan feel that the second monk was confused, but he didn't expect that as soon as he opened his mouth, he encountered other people's sad things, and he was embarrassed to continue asking, so he had to remain silent in embarrassment.

"If it weren't for you, my grandson would have been sold over there. ”

"How is this possible, your grandson is just dressed in a bearskin......"

The old lady touched a handful of tears, sighed, and said, "This is to blame on those bastards in Wangjia Village, who refused to let us poor people go after they drove us poor people out...... actually used witchcraft to let us wear bear skins and sell them to Daqin...... My son and daughter-in-law are probably slaughtered by them now. ”

The old lady's words shocked Chen Xuan, because he never dreamed that in the Great Chu Empire, there would be such a group of rebellious ministers and thieves, who kidnapped their own people, turned them into animals, and then exported them abroad and became the target of slaughter.

Chen Xuan's heart knows very well that when the big black bear becomes a scarce resource, this resource will also become a resource for the profit of these rebellious ministers and thieves, so that all the unreasonable scenes seen in Wangjia Village now seem to be able to find some answers.

It's a pity that in the current situation, there is no way to notify Ji Ruohua and them in time for a while, if they can get the evidence of the Yuwen family's crimes, then at least some of the threats can be resolved.

Chen Xuan took out the map from his pocket and put it in front of the old lady, the old lady bowed down and looked at it, pointed to a place with some excitement and said to Chen Xuan: "This is it, this is ...... here"

What she meant couldn't have been more obvious, and that was where they were now, pointing in the direction of the map.

"So this is the entrance?!" Chen Xuan raised his head thoughtfully and asked.

The old lady nodded kindly and said, "This is it, and from here you can also lead to that underground river." It's just that our place has been abandoned for a long time, and if you are not a local, it is generally difficult to find this place, and even if you are a local, it is not easy to find. ”

Chen Xuan thought that the two hunters just now should not have come here very often, because from the way they groped their way forward, they seemed to be very strange.

"Old lady, where is your grandson?!" Chen Xuan suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Pig, come out, the guests are looking for you......" When the old lady heard Chen Xuan's question, she quickly turned her head and shouted towards the innermost doorway.

Soon, a person flashed out of the doorway, it was her grandson.

Chen Xuan quickly noticed that this young man named Pig had changed into clean clothes just now, and he looked a lot smarter.

"My grandson is a mute and has not been able to speak since he was a child. The old lady explained further.

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I know I asked him when I was outside just now, but he just wouldn't speak, I more or less guessed that he might be a dumb person." ”

"I depend on him for my life, and now I can't open the pot......"

The old lady's tone was filled with sadness, and her body began to tremble.

Chen Xuan nodded lightly, looked at them with sympathy, and then remembered something, so he took out a few more silver tickets from his pocket, handed them to them, and said: "Grandma, this is a little bit of my heart, you just ask your grandson to go to the market to exchange food and drink, it should be able to last for a long time." Can you tell me...... There is a family in your village with the surname Deng......"

"The family surnamed Deng?!"

The old lady squinted her eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she seemed to remember something, and said to Chen Xuan with wide eyes: "It seems that there is such a family with a foreign surname, it seems that she was a court official at the beginning, and after she was disarmed and returned to the field, the emperor sent her here......"

"So their family's power used to be great?!" Chen Xuan asked in hot pursuit.

"It is said that that person was a first-class official, and when he was in the imperial court, he offended several major forces, and as a result, he was forcibly demoted to our village before he could retire. These people in our village know about them, but we ordinary people don't have much interaction with them. It's not a ......."

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "There is no white ding...... Folks in the big hometown, what's the use of talking about this? Whoever has something at home can help each other. ”

The old lady was a little embarrassed, "The young man has a point. This family surnamed Deng is actually quite kind, will they take out some to help the poor in the village. Later, their family gradually declined...... It is said that because this man has no male descendants, the only daughter has now left the area......"

"Is it called Deng Qianyue?!"

"It seems that yes, by the way, how do you know? I never seemed to have told you that this daughter's name is Deng Qianyue?!" the old lady asked, her eyes wide.

Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Deng Qianyue is now cultivating in the Xunyang Martial Academy, and being with me can be regarded as a fellow practitioner......

"Oh, I see, I remember the last time I talked to her father, and I wanted to match this grandson of mine with her and form a friendship for a hundred years. ”

The old lady's words made Chen Xuan feel incredible, like this kind of children's family, they have to talk about the right family, since they realize that their family background is a lot worse than others, so why do they have to reluctantly recommend their grandson to be someone's son-in-law?!

"Then what happened to them?!" Chen Xuan asked.

"Alright, lad, you don't have to say any more. I know what you're here for, it seems that you're a good person, and I'm not going to get in your way anymore. If you go down from here, you'll be able to find the man......," said the old lady.

"Thank you, Grandma. Chen Xuan said with relief.

"Take your brother down, pig, or he will get lost. The old lady instructed her grandson.

The pig nodded, quickly found a few torches, handed one to Chen Xuan, and then led Chen Xuan to the entrance of the tunnel, Chen Xuan followed him in, and soon found the yin and yang roulette.

It turned out that Chen Xuan saw a little clue from the treasure map, and after comparing the two with this map and his own personal experience in the Yin and Yang Roulette, he made a bold setting, and followed the clues to find this place, and sure enough, he found this entrance.

In this way, there is no need to go through the pavilion and swagger into the village, which is eye-catching.

As for the fact that he sent Chen Zhong to find a way, it was just a backhand he left, that is, if he made a mistake in judgment, Chen Zhong might be able to find another way.

Those two unlucky hunters, if there is no accident, they may have been caught by those fellow members of the Yuwen family by now.

"Go slower, I can't keep up. ”

Chen Xuan held the torch, and he had been thrown dozens of steps away by the old lady's grandson, Pig.

The reason why he asked him to slow down was not because he was afraid of anything, but because he was worried about the safety of the old lady's grandson, because he was a **mortal, if he met a slightly more powerful character, maybe the other party only needed to move a little finger, and he would immediately take his life, if this is the case, then the old lady will probably become a real lonely old man, and he Chen Xuan can't afford such a big crime.

The pig obediently held the torch and stayed in place, waiting for Chen Xuan, and when the two of them reunited, they finally came to the vicinity of the yin and yang roulette.

After confirming that he had been here, Chen Xuan finally let out a big sigh of relief, he was even a little proud, his original judgment was accurate, so much so that he took a shortcut into this underground fortification, and after walking a little further, he could see the stone chamber where Yuwen Li'er was imprisoned.

So far, he was secretly glad that Yuwen Li'er's family could only surround Wangjia Village to the death, but he couldn't enter the door, so naturally he couldn't find Yuwen Li'er.

This is all the credit of his own enchantment, Chen Xuan's heart can't help but feel a little proud, and the pace under his feet has gradually accelerated a little, and now he is walking in front of the old lady and grandson.

Because, this is a familiar road for him, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the stone room.

Soon, he saw the bald head of a dirty thief and a thief's brain, which was Yuwen Li'er who was trapped inside.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Chen Xuan desperately wanted to laugh, "Yuwen Li'er, don't come to harm......"

Only then did Chen Xuan realize that the power of this stone room confinement could not only consume people's will, but also torture people's physiques to an inhuman appearance.

In just a few days, his Yuwen Li'er's hair actually fell out and became a monk who had not yet been incensed.

I didn't expect there to be such a miserable thing in this world, but this is all his own self-inflicted, as the so-called self-inflicted evil cannot live.

"Who the hell are you?!" replied an old voice.

"I'm your old enemy, it's only been a few days, and you don't even know me?!"

Chen Xuan felt that his tone was a little yin and yang, but he didn't feel this way before.

"It turned out to be you, my eyes are not good...... I didn't expect you to dare to come to me, aren't you afraid that I will die with you?!"

"No one wants to die with you, I only came here to escort you back to Beijing on behalf of the government, and then in front of the emperor, I will teach you to be guilty and beheaded!" Chen Xuan said seriously.

"Yes, I'm afraid that you won't dare to take me back to the capital, and if you take me there, I'm afraid you'll not live for an hour, and you'll be hacked to death." You know, it's my territory, and you'll die as much as I tell you to. Yuwen Li'er said in a tough tone.

"When is it, you are still ashamed to speak, when the time comes, you will be divided into five horses, I think you dare to brag?!" Chen Xuan also replied unceremoniously.

"If I'm not mistaken, our family has already surrounded this place, and I don't think you can get out of it yourself even if you get me out. If you want to live, you still obediently get me out, and when the time comes, I will intercede for you in front of them, and I will let you live, what do you think?!"

"Let me live?!I see that you really don't cry when you don't see the coffin, you are still honest, otherwise, there will be absolutely no good fruit for you to eat at that time. ”

The two of them threatened each other again and again, and neither of them would budge to each other.

But in the end, Chen Xuan still took the initiative, only to see him raise his hand, and a bright light went straight to Shangguan Li'er's head, only to see his head tilted and motionless.

It turned out that Chen Xuan forcibly poured him a little ** pill, if he didn't give him the antidote, he would definitely not wake up in ten days and a half months.

This is also his cleverness, this kind of ** Dan, he has never tried it.

I didn't expect it to come into play here today, and it was a sworn enemy against him.

After knocking him unconscious, Chen Xuan's mouth squirmed lightly a few times, and the enchantment that plagued Yuwen Li'er gradually opened, and Yuwen Li'er's body quickly collapsed to the ground.

Chen Xuan glanced at the old lady's grandson, and the two of them hurriedly carried him up, and then the old lady's grandson volunteered to carry him on his back and slowly walked to the ground.

In less than a stick of incense, the unconscious Yuwen Li'er put it on a pile of hay, this guy snored loudly, and it seemed that he was sleeping quite soundly.

"Thank you for your advice...... The younger generations must come to visit your old man often in the future. ”

His goal has been achieved, Chen Xuan is ready to get up and say goodbye, he casually lifted Yuwen Li'er's belt, it felt like he was taking a fluttering satchel, and left the old lady and her grandson without much effort.

Now that it was completely dark, Chen Zhong didn't know when he was already waiting for them nearby.

It turned out that Chen Zhong had never left the scope of Chen Xuan's divine sense, and according to the agreement between the two people, as long as he didn't find a place, he would definitely turn back.

"Young master, I'll carry it. Chen Zhong said breathlessly.

Chen Xuan shook his head, smiled lightly on his face, and said, "Forget it, I can't carry it if I come......"

In his opinion, the strength of the ninth stage of the mortal realm is much greater than that of the third stage, and he is carrying a very important person on his shoulders.
