Chapter Twenty-Six: Returning the Treasure
Among these treasures, the three ginseng and the night pearl are the most valuable!
Changqing Mountain, where Zhou Hao grows, is a place rich in ginseng, so he knows ginseng very well.
These three arms are so thick and thin that they have even vaguely transformed into human-shaped ginseng, and the age is at least 1,500 years old!
If ginseng is more than 1,000 years old, it is an extremely rare spirit ginseng! For ordinary people, just cut off a small piece and hold it in their mouths, they can continue their lives for seven days; and for martial artists, 1,000 years of spirit ginseng is a good way to improve cultivation, a thousand years of spirit ginseng is enough to raise a third-rate martial artist to the realm of a second-rate martial artist in one fell swoop.
The growth year of these three ginseng should be more than 1,500 years, and the effect should be much stronger than that of the thousand-year-old ginseng.
And that fist-sized night pearl is even more priceless!
As soon as this night pearl came out, the entire cave room suddenly became transparent, and the dazzling white light even suppressed the golden light that filled the room.
This night pearl is not only a symbol of status and wealth, but also a must-have for warriors to find secrets and wonders. Just like Zhou Hao said today, if you have a bead in your hand, where will it take so much effort.
Holding the box containing the spirit ginseng and the night pearl, Zhou Hao, who was overjoyed, couldn't help but look forward to the last iron box more and more.
Walking to the eighth iron box, he stretched out his hand and twisted the big lock, removing the iron chain on the winding box, Zhou Hao slowly opened the lid of the box.
Zhou Hao looked into the iron box with great anticipation, but when he saw it, he was disappointed!
I saw that inside the iron box, there were more than a dozen long and short weapons in a mess, as well as a pile of scattered sundries, which were stacked in a disorderly manner.
Among the dozen or so weapons, maybe they were trophies of the bandits, I don't know how long they had been here, and a few of them were even rusty.
And that pile of miscellaneous things is even more everything, women's earrings, rings, men's snuffboxes, wrenches, etc., although they seem to be of great value, they are too far from Zhou Hao's expectations. There was even a small cloth bag stained with dark black blood, which was abruptly mixed in a pile of debris.
Why was this shabby cloth bag that looked worthless also collected by the bandits?
Zhou Hao felt a little puzzled, and reached out and took the cloth bag in his hand.
I saw that this bulging cloth bag was not much bigger than a slap, and the mouth of the bag was tightly tied with a string, Zhou Hao pinched it, but he felt as if there was nothing in it.
Zhou Hao is even more strange! Obviously full of things, why does he look like he has nothing when he is pinching?
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao reached out to untie the string at the mouth of the bag, wanting to open it to see what was going on.
Who knew that no matter how hard Zhou Hao tried, this thin rope couldn't be untied!
Zhou Hao, who was even more surprised, simply used his internal strength, grabbed both ends of the string with both hands, and wanted to tear the rope off.
But the strange thing is that even with the internal strength, Zhou Hao couldn't tear the string off! Even the shape of the string didn't change in the slightest.
"Hey, what kind of cloth bag is this? How can it be so strange?" Zhou Hao used his internal strength with both hands, even if it was a tiger or a leopard, it would have to be torn alive! But this string, which was not much thicker than a toothpick, was unscathed!
Zhou Hao looked at the shabby cloth bag in his hand, as if he suddenly understood why those water bandits would hide this cloth bag! They were probably helpless with this cloth bag, but they didn't understand the strangeness of the cloth bag like themselves, so they would hide it.
Grabbed the cloth bag in his hand and studied it, but still found nothing, Zhou Hao thought about it, and reached out to put the cloth bag into his arms.
Next, it's time to find a way to deal with this treasure full of holes.
Those three spiritual ginseng and the night pearl are undoubtedly going to be taken away. And the silver ticket full of wooden boxes can't be let go. Putting all these things into the big cloth bag that had been prepared earlier, Zhou Hao had a headache again.
There are so many things left that it's impossible to take them all, what should I do?
Zhou Hao looked at the room full of treasures with great regret, and could only pick more than 20 of the largest and roundest pearls, more than a dozen of the largest gemstones, and a few pieces of jade with the most warm and pure color into his pocket, and then covered all the boxes, and then walked out of the cave.
Before entering the water, Zhou Hao looked back at the eight swarthy iron boxes, and said in his heart: The eight dogs are dead, and no one knows the secret of this dark hole. Only when the master's strength is enough in the future, it is not too late to take the remaining treasures!
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao turned his head without hesitation and swam out of the underwater exit of the dark hole.
When Zhou Hao came out of the dark hole and surfaced, he found that the sky had been slightly white.
Zhou Hao didn't dare to return along the same route, for fear of running into someone from the Nangong family. So he went down the river and drifted for seven or eight miles before he came ashore.
With one hand carrying the big cloth bag full of treasures in his hand, Zhou Hao used his internal strength, stepped on the wind and flashed steps, and ran quickly in the direction of Huishui Town.
With a distance of more than twenty miles, Zhou Hao only spent more than a quarter of an hour. When we arrived at Huishui Town, it was just dawning, and the residents of Huishui Town had already gotten up to start a busy day.
Zhou Hao put away the wind and flashed his steps, carried the big cloth bag on his back, smiled with a smile on his face, and walked to the inn unhurriedly.
When he entered the inn, the fat shopkeeper was directing the two guys to clean the courtyard, and when he saw Zhou Hao walking in, he was slightly stunned, and then squeezed out a little smile and said, "Guest officer, you are really early! ”
Zhou Hao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, go out and buy something early!"
After speaking, he walked towards his room, and just after taking a few steps, Zhou Hao turned his head and came: "Shopkeeper, we are going to leave today, this is the house money, no need to look for it!"
Zhou Hao said as he threw out another ingot of five taels of silver.
The fat shopkeeper took the silver, his face suddenly bloomed with a smile, and he hurriedly said to Zhou Hao's back: "Guest officer, your old man is good, welcome to come again next time!"
Zhou Hao waved his hand and walked to his room.
Just like when Zhou Hao left last night, the mountain tiger was still lying at the door of the room, and he didn't even move the nest. Seeing Zhou Hao coming back, the mountain tiger stood up and rubbed on Zhou Hao very affectionately.
Pushing open the door, I saw Qin Yin holding the quilt and lying on his side on the bed, sleeping soundly at this time.
The bright sunlight shines through the flower window, just shining on the little face full of piano sound, and the long curvy eyelashes shine in the morning light. The slightly open mouth even hung a trace of jade dew.
Zhou Hao grinned at the sweet sleeping piano sound, walked lightly to the bed, and suddenly leaned into her ear and said, "Little goblin, the sun is drying your ass, get up quickly!"
