It was the golden autumn of October, the weather was already slightly cool, a gust of wind blew, the pool water rippled, and then returned to calm.

Suddenly, it seemed that between the green algae and moss, something dazzling flashed a ray of light, and when I looked closely, it was gone, and I couldn't help but wonder secretly.

After about a quarter of an hour, it flashed again, but under the cover of green algae and moss, it was difficult to tell what it was.

Ye Chong pushed Han Xue, and the two of them observed together, but this time they waited for more than twenty minutes before flashing again. Originally, Han Xue was a little impatient, but as soon as the light appeared, she immediately became interested again. After that, it flashed several times one after another, but the interval was longer or shorter, and there was no pattern at all.

Han Xue asked softly, "What did you say was that?"

Ye Chong saw that Han Xue was like a child, his expression was very focused, his eyes were staring at the water surface tightly, and he never departed from him when he asked, and he couldn't help but arouse his child's heart, and asked with a hippie smile at the moment: "Do you like boys with developed limbs or boys with developed minds?"

Han Xue stared at the surface of the water, never expecting him to ask such a brainless question, although he felt strange, but he didn't bother to delve into it, and replied casually: "Of course it's a well-developed mind." ”

After a while, I heard him smile and say, "What about someone like me who has very developed limbs and minds?"

Han Xue heard him laugh strangely, and when she looked back, she couldn't help but be startled, only to see that this guy had already stripped off his upper body, and he was still learning the appearance of Mr. Bodybuilder, and posed proudly, and couldn't help but be angry and funny, and scolded: "What the hell are you doing?! It's ugly, put it on!"

Ye Chong smiled: "You don't believe it, do you? Tell you, the muscles in my thighs are more developed!"

Han Xue was so frightened that she almost screamed, quickly blindfolded, and said loudly: "You bastard! What are you doing? Get out of the ......" The words did not fall, only heard a plop, and suddenly his face was a little cool, when he opened his eyes, Ye Chong had already jumped into the water and was swimming towards the bottom of the pool, only then did he realize that he was preparing to dive into the bottom of the pool to satisfy his curiosity, and to find out, his heart was moved, remembering Ye Chong's ugly and disgusting pose just now, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The hanging jade pond is usually crystal clear, quiet and peaceful, who knows that when you jump down, you find that it is seven or eight meters deep, and the bottom of the pool is even more cold and undercurrent, and the cold is abnormal.

Ye Chong took a few breaths before diving to the bottom of the pool, and he was already freezing his teeth and shivering.

He endured the cold, stretched out his hand to remove the green algae moss, and found that the shining thing just now was actually a "diamond", which was embedded in a huge rock with a shining light, and next to the "diamond" was a cowhide, which resembled a dead leaf, mixed with the fallen leaves at the bottom of the pool, if not carefully examined, it was difficult to distinguish that the top corner of the cowhide was fixed directly above the "diamond" by a steel nail, and it was turned around, just enough to cover the "diamond", which was obviously deliberately done by someone.

Ye Chong couldn't help but be secretly surprised: "Who hid it here? Is it really a diamond?" When you look closely at the cowhide, it has already rotted due to the age, and only then does the corner of the "diamond" be revealed, reflecting the light of the stars. If it weren't for Ye Chong observing the hanging jade and condensing the water surface, I am afraid that in another ten or twenty years, no one may be able to find out.

Ye Chong pinched the "diamond" and lifted it hard, but the "diamond" did not move at all, as if it grew on a rock. In desperation, he found another sharp stone and pried it several times, but he still failed to make a contribution.

When I was at a loss, I suddenly remembered a plot in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", when the heroine Huang Rong found that there was a bowl in the cupboard, no matter how hard she tried, it was difficult to move, just like this "diamond", and then turned it hard, and opened a mechanism inexplicably. Could it be that this "diamond" is not another diamond, but a mechanism to uncover a mysterious treasure?

At the moment, with a strong twist of the counterclockwise, the "diamond" really moved slightly, and I couldn't help but be excited and nervous, and my heart also beat violently, as if there was some major secret waiting to be revealed.

He made up his mind, and then continued to twist, but after twisting seven or eight times in a row, pressing and lifting, he neither spun the "diamond" out, nor did he see any miracle happen. At this time, he was already dizzy and depressed in one breath, and his right foot stepped on the "diamond", and with the help of the force, he swam to the surface of the water, ready to change his breath, and then lurk.

As soon as his right foot fell, suddenly a cloud of muddy water gushed out of the rock like smoke and fog, and a swarthy round iron box flew towards him lightly. I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so I reached out and grabbed the iron box and swam to the surface of the water.

Han Xue had been waiting by the pond for a long time, and as soon as she saw Ye Chong rushing out of the water, she asked loudly, "How is it?"

Ye Chong inhaled a few breaths of fresh air hysterically, the stuffiness in his chest was swept away, he suddenly felt refreshed and suddenly enlightened, shook off the splash on his head, lifted the iron box out of the water and shook it, panting and replied: "Yes...... It's an iron box! I don't know what's in it...... Something, it looks like a mechanism down there, I'll go down and take a look!" he said, taking a deep breath and diving into the bottom of the pool again.

By this time, the muddy water and smoke had dissipated, and a cave with the mouth of a bowl appeared on the rock.

Ye Chong approached the entrance of the cave and looked inside, and found that there was a spring in the depths of the foot, about the thickness of a little finger, full of toughness, and he expected that the iron box just now would pop out from this.

In this way, the "diamond" is indeed a mechanism button, but it must be turned a few times in advance and brute force can be pressed. Just when Ye Chong was in urgent need of ventilation, he stepped on it with strength, which touched the mechanism and popped out the iron box.

Ye Chong checked the surrounding rocks again, and was sure that there was nothing abnormal, so he dived back to the surface.

As soon as Ye Chong swam ashore, Han Xue grabbed the iron box with her hands, wanting to see what was inside, but she twisted, knocked, and fiddled for a long time, and she didn't know how to open it.

Ye Chong took a closer look and found that this iron box was unexpectedly integrated, and there was no difference between a lid and a box, but on one of the round surfaces, there were many circular fine lines engraved, just like the annual rings of trees, forming a ring to transition to the center of the circle, and each ring was divided into several fans, large and small, there were hundreds, and the depiction was very fine. There are some small dots protruding from the fan surface, which is quite similar to Braille.

Ye Chong secretly wondered in his heart: "Could it be that this strange iron box was actually made by a blind man? The idea is so exquisite, could it be that there is some amazing secret hidden in it?" At that moment, he put the iron box to his ear and shook it, listening carefully, but it seemed to be empty inside.

The two of them looked at and fiddled for a while, but they still didn't find the trick, so they had to put the iron box aside for the time being, feeling that it was urgent to find out the identity of Mr. Guqin first. Immediately, he held hands and walked towards the Hundred Herb Garden.
