Chapter 183: Secret (5400 Words)

Xie Luohe took off his mask.

The corners of her mouth crooked and sneered, and she walked in front of Zheng Xiu with her head held high.

"You say, do I look good in it, or do I look good in it not?"

Xie Luohe took off his mask, and on the beautiful face behind the mask, Zheng Xiu's surprised expression was reflected in his clear and bright eyes, and in the depths, there was a trace of imperceptible expectation.

Zheng Xiu didn't answer.

He thought it seemed like a well-known proposition.

Seeing that Zheng Xiu didn't answer, Xie Luohe snorted lightly, took another step closer, and asked again: "You say, am I dressed like her, or am I not dressed like her, good-looking?" ”

Zheng Xiu wasn't quite sure just now, but this is a real hammer.

It's not a proposition, it's a guillotine question.

Obviously, there is a standard answer to this kind of question.

Zheng Xiu replied calmly: "You are good-looking." ”

This belongs to avoiding the important and trivial, picking the key points.

Xie Luohe nodded in satisfaction and silently put an arrow back into the quiver.

Everyone saw Xie Luohe's move of "accepting guys", and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The archery skills of the Chelo River are obvious to all.

Dugu Xiang is even more personally experienced, deeply understood.

She was right about everything she said when she grabbed the arrow.

"Talk in a different place."

Dugu Xiang didn't say a word, and pressed on the hidden Karakuri on the ground, and a stone brick rumbled away, revealing a dark passage under the floor.

After that, Dugu Xiang stood aside, motioned for Xie Luohe and Cheng Huan to enter, and made a "please" action.

Xie Luohe smiled at Zheng Xiu and said, "Look at the people, don't ask me why I turned back." ”

Zheng Xiu pursed his lips when he heard this, hung the "Luohe Pen" on his waist again, and said unhappily: "How do I know if you are colluding." By the way, what about the others? You ...... all" Zheng Xiu raised his palm and made a gesture of "wiping his neck".

Xie Luohe pouted: "Who are you and me?" What do you do without injustice and vendettas? They chased me down the hill, and I threw the fake paintings at them, and let them take them. ”

When Zheng Xiu heard this, he suddenly realized.

The classic "one peach kills three soldiers".

"Let's go."

Zheng Xiu beckoned to Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao followed.

Xie Luohe, Zheng Xiu, Xiao Tao, Cheng Huan, the fish penetrated into it.

With Xie Luohe here, Zheng Xiu didn't worry about an ambush or anything below, and walked with the wind.

When it came to Zhang Da'er lowering his head and wanting to follow.

was stopped by Dugu Xiang reaching out.

"Brother Zhang, please stay."

Dugu Xiang smiled: "Tonight's painting appreciation party, that's the end, Brother Zhang, please go back." ”

"Okay, you're alone." Zhang Da Erpi didn't smile, and scolded secretly in his heart, but he quickly thought about it, wanted to understand everything, took two steps closer to Dugu Xiang, and asked in a low voice: "Zhang knows Dugu Daxia's mind very well." ”

"The real plum blossom snow picture is hidden below, and the real painting will be appreciated below."

"Cheng Huan has the 'Chuntang Liuyan Map', which is self-qualified."

"Xie Luohe led away other people, and took the initiative to return the paintings, barely qualified."

"That Xiao Buping can see through the authenticity of Mobao at a glance, needless to say."

"Then old Zhang I, how about exchanging a secret with you."

Zhang Da whispered very quickly, smiled, said a few words, and pointed to Zheng Xiu's back below, "Lao Zhang, let me tell you, who he is." This is a big secret that no one knows on the rivers and lakes, and it is closely related to the four seasons. ”

Dugu Xiang frowned.

As everyone knows, Xie Luohe laughed heartily below: "You don't need to say it, I'll tell you now, he is actually not Xiao Buping, but Gongsun Mo... Gongsun Mo of the Gongsun family. ”

"You!"

Zhang Da'er's face stiffened with a smile, and the fire was messy.

Dugu Xiang regretfully made a "please get out" gesture.

Zhang Da'er's eyes began to roll again.

It's tickling.

Xie Luohe's silver bell-like laughter came from below again: "Dugu Daxia, if you really want to find that place, let that fat man in, he can be regarded as the most well-informed person in the world." ”

Dugu Xiang didn't dare to take Xie Luohe's words as child's play, he was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes were solemn, and he stared at Zhang Da'er.

Zhang Da'er heard that Xie Luohe had broken his "identity", scolded in his heart, and had no choice but to have a showdown: "In this case, if the old man hides it again, it will be rude." ”

Zhang Da'er touched into his arms and shook out a cute white paper fan.

Swish.

There are eight small words written on the fan - "Be a hundred people, know the world's affairs".

In front of Dugu Xiang, his eyes were empty, his fat was trembling, and he smiled:

"The old man is not talented, and the news is a little clear. Nickname: Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng. ”

Dugu Xiang was stunned.

……

Underground in the Hidden Sword Villa, many tunnels are arranged.

Several of the tunnels were opened, hollowed out, and vented, and were located just below the hall where they admired the paintings.

The oil lamp is lit.

There are two roads in the south, south, west, and northwest, and the wind is sharp, whistling in the cave.

The small space has only one round table.

There is a locked box in the center of the round table.

At first glance, the lock was not a regular lock that could be opened with a key.

On the huge lock, there are nine grids of Karakuri distributed in nine palaces, and there are different weapon diagrams on it.

"Nine Exquisite Locks." Xie Luohe saw that Zheng Xiu was looking at the lock, and happily explained: "The Nine Tricks Exquisite Lock uses the arrangement of nine different weapons as a 'lock', and the box has built-in white phosphorus powder. ”

When Zheng Xiu heard this, he suddenly understood. It turned out that the reason why Xie Luohe temporarily changed his plan was because he learned about this and knew that once he grabbed it, Dugu Xiang would rather burn the jade and stones than cheapen others.

The nine-trick exquisite lock is equivalent to the ancient password lock, and it is composed of nine passwords, arranged by thousands, if you don't know the password, forcibly open, it will fall short.

As for Xie Luohe's best at violent lockpicking, it is even more impossible. White phosphorus powder is built inside, white phosphorus is flammable, and once used violently, it may naturally ignite the white phosphorus inside.

The whole body of the box is dark, one-piece, and natural, and a row of hair-thin holes can be faintly seen on the surface of the box, if Zheng Xiu guessed correctly, this small hole should be used to provide oxygen when it needs to be "ignited". Such exquisite forging techniques come from the craftsmanship of the Tibetan Sword Villa.

When Dugu Xiang and Bai Xiaosheng walked down, Zheng Xiu, Cheng Huan, Xie Luohe, and Xiao Tao were waiting on the edge of the box.

Zheng Xiu stared at "Bai Xiaosheng" with his eyes, a little unconvinced: "You are really Bai Xiaosheng?" ”

"It's like a fake."

Bai Xiaosheng pointed to the eight words on the fan.

The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched: "I also had this kind of fan before." ”

Bai Xiaosheng was speechless for a moment.

On the side, Xiao Tao's head tilted, and he was puzzled: "Xiao Tao has heard legends on the rivers and lakes. Legend has it that Bai Xiaosheng is handsome and dignified, but has an eccentric personality; erudite and talented, but proud of talent; Tianchang has a pair of discerning eyes, never forget, read hundreds of cheats, read the ancient and modern art of war, can distinguish the world's martial arts, understand the geography of mountains and rivers, know the ancient and modern overseas, he borrowed his own knowledge, compiled the "Weapon Spectrum", a detailed list of each person's moves, strengths, weaknesses, and personality on the weapon spectrum, so it is sought after by many martial arts people, and naturally many people resent. ”

Zheng Xiumu grimaced: "With all due respect, if what Xiao Tao said is true, the first sentence is very fake." ”

Bai Xiaosheng took a sip: "You know a fart, that's called half-truth, if the old man was so easy to find, he would have been chopped to death by the enemy." But friends on the rivers and lakes give face, and the second half is probably true, if you really want to find Nie Gong's treasure house, the old man's connections and intelligence are indispensable. ”

At this time, Dugu Xiang's clenched fists were trembling slightly.

He suppressed his excitement, his face was calm, and he looked at Zheng Xiu.

"I guessed that you were not Xiao Buping, but I never expected that you were a descendant of the Gongsun family. No wonder you can tell the truth of Mobao at a glance, do you really know where Nie Gong's treasure house is? ”

Zheng Xiu didn't answer, looking at Xie Luohe.

At this time, it is better to let Xie Luohe make up his mind.

Xie Luohe stretched out his hand towards Zheng Xiu and hooked two white fingers. Zheng Xiu understood in an instant, understood, and took out the last two painting scrolls from his arms, and handed them to Xie Luohe in front of Duguxiang.

Xie Luohe held the picture scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm tired of the lonely hero, open the lock." ”

Cheng Huan was silent and pressed "Spring Pond Willow Swallow Picture" on the table.

Dugu Xiang looked at the unopened two scrolls in Xie Luohe's hand, and his eyelids jumped.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Will Xie Luohe deceive him with fake paintings like he did before.

Will it be, there is actually a truth and a falsehood inside.

Or, there are two corn cobs in it at all, and the moment he Duguxiang takes out the real painting from the box, he snatches it.

But all kinds of speculations, when Dugu Xiang recalled the amazing force displayed by Xie Luohe, he drove it out of his mind.

Xie Luohe is more like a hunter who arranges the hunt well, calmly and calmly.

The gathering of the four pictures was indeed Duguxiang's original intention, but he did not expect to attract Xie Luohe.

Dugu Xiang stepped forward silently and toggled the nine-trick Linglong lock, snapped, and when the nine-trick returned to its place, the Linglong lock made a soft sound of "card", and the lock cylinder popped out.

Carefully taking out the layers of wrapped "Plum Blossom Proud Snow Picture" from the black box, Duguxiang turned to face a few people.

"Before appreciating the paintings, Dugu's ugly words are ahead." Dugu Xiang said: "It will inevitably hurt the harmony, in order to ensure fairness, I propose, no matter what is in Nie Gong's treasure house, everything in Nie Gong's treasure house will be divided into four equal parts, and the four sides will divide it equally." ”

"It seems that the old man will have to add an extra sentence to the page of the weapon spectrum and Dugu Daxia in the future: People can't be disgraced." The fat-headed and big-eared version of Bai Xiaosheng licked his dry lips, spread his hands and smiled, and said ambiguously after saying a sentence that made Dugu Xiang not very comfortable to listen to, and said, "The old man is not interested in Nie Gong's treasure house. ”

When Zheng Xiu heard this, he asked curiously, "Then why did you come?" ”

"Secret." Bai Xiaosheng squinted and laughed.

"Hypocrisy." Zheng Xiudao.

"Definitely." Bai Xiaosheng knew that Zheng Xiu had misunderstood, his eyes were angry, and he explained: "What the old man said is that the old man is only interested in the 'secret' itself!" Where Nie Gong's treasure house is located, it is the biggest 'secret' for today's rivers and lakes! Knowing what people in the world don't know, knowing what people in the world don't know, this is far beyond the ordinary gold, silver and jewelry of the 'Wan Guan family wealth' for the old man! ”

"Admire!" Zheng Xiu was impressed by the fat man. As everyone knows, Zheng Xiugang finished praising it, and Bai Xiaosheng said again: "But since it is a share of the spoils, if the old man does not take a penny, it will definitely make you feel uneasy, and the old man agrees to divide the four shares equally." ”

Cheng Huan held the knife and said coldly: "I, just a knife." ”

When Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Huan expressed their positions separately, Duguxiang looked at Xie Luohe, waiting for an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Xie Luohe looked at Zheng Xiu and asked with a smile, "What do you want?" ”

Zheng Xiu shook his head.

He doesn't seem to have a need for the so-called Nie Gong Treasury.

Zheng Xiu knew that he was in an illusory memory. Even in this process, during this experience, there were many times when Zheng Xiu was in a trance and found it difficult to distinguish between the false and the true. But at the end of the day, he knows who he is and what he's doing.

Therefore, he had no need for Nie Gong's treasure house.

"It's better to post it," Xie Luohe put it up, leaned on Zheng Xiu's ear and exhaled like an orchid, and said with a smile in a voice that only two people could hear: "Find Nie Gong's treasure house, I will return her to you, how about it." ”

Zheng Xiu was shocked, and when he wanted to ask more, Xie Luohe's lips had already left Zheng Xiu's ears, and he stretched out a slap towards Dugu Xiang: "Five parts." Divide Nie Gong's treasury into five parts. ”

Dugu Xiang frowned and asked, "Why." ”

"I, Xie Luohe, represent Yunhe Village, hold half of the picture scroll and have one copy alone. The Four Seasons Map is a relic of Gongsun Painting Sage, and he is a descendant of the Gongsun family, and as the only person who can peek into the Four Seasons Map, he occupies a share. The remaining three portions, you are free. ”

Zheng Xiu has no opinion.

Dugu Xiang, Cheng Huan, and Bai Xiaosheng glanced at each other.

Bai Xiaosheng: "Refreshing." ”

Cheng Huan: "Give me a knife." ”

Dugu Xiang: "Yes." ”

After talking, Dugu Xiang pressed "Plum Blossom Proud Snow Picture" on the table.

Finally, the Four Seasons Atlas is complete.

At this moment, compared to other people's thoughts, Zheng Xiu was not so much interested in Nie Gong's treasury as he was more interested in the Four Seasons Diagram itself.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Zheng Xiu stepped forward and opened the last set of four seasons diagrams.

The four drawings are spread out evenly on the round table.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter.

The moment Zheng Xiu saw the "Plum Blossom Proud Snow Picture", he was sure that the painting in front of him was genuine.

I saw that in the yellow scroll, the picture was extremely "clean".

At first glance, he was attracted by a plum tree bent by heavy snow in the vast white landscape. The plum tree is almost withered, buried by the heavy snow, but on the branches, the last red plum blossom has become the finishing touch.

The sky is white and snowy, the scenery behind the plum blossoms, the mountains are clustered, the distance and the near overlap, only a simple ink is used to outline, looming. Only that plum blossom has a fine brushstroke, and even the texture on the petals is clearly visible.

"Wonderful!"

Zhang Daer seems to be a rough man, but in fact, just like the legend of the rivers and lakes, Bai Xiaosheng is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least he can be regarded as dabbling in all of them. At first glance, he only felt that the real work of this "Plum Blossom Proud Snow Picture" was not as fine as the fake painting, but after two more glances, he also vaguely saw the mystery of Gongsun Painting Sheng's painting.

Zheng Xiu said with a smile: "This is the plum blossom 'proud' snow map." The sky is full of snow, all things wither, only this plum blossom, the world is independent, tenacious and unyielding, with the 'death' of all things, to highlight the 'life' of the plum blossom, with the 'bending' of all things, to highlight the 'pride' of the plum blossom. ”

"Don't say something that you don't have." Bai Xiaosheng breathed shortly and hurriedly said, "Look, where is Nie Gong's treasure house?" ”

Zheng Xiu stared intently at the four pictures.

In fact, the idea has been there for a long time.

To locate a place from the four paintings, all Zheng Xiu could think of was to hide the form of a "map" in the scroll.

It sounds ridiculous, but it is not difficult for Gongsun to draw saints.

What Zheng Xiu could imagine should be like this.

Time passed quietly, and no one spoke anymore.

In the quiet secret room, there were only a few people breathing calmly or rapidly, and there was a focused Zheng Xiu at the round table, concentrating on deciphering the map of the four seasons.

Xiao Tao knew that she couldn't help, so she wiped the slight sweat on her forehead for Zheng Xiu from time to time.

"Huh?"

Zheng Xiu, who had been staring back and forth at the scroll, suddenly showed a look of surprise.

The others were patiently paying attention to Zheng Xiu's reaction, and when they saw Zheng Xiu's reaction, Xie Luohe stepped forward as soon as possible and asked, "Where is it?" ”

Zheng Xiu didn't blink, didn't even look back at Xie Luohe, and muttered, "I'm not sure. ”

Xie Luohe: "It's okay, say." ”

"Zhang Fat ......"

Bai Xiaosheng interrupted Zheng Xiu's words: "Please call the old man Bai Xiaosheng." ”

"Okay Jiang Fat." Zheng Xiu agreed and beckoned: "Jiang Fat, help me take a look, is there a mountain that looks like three fingers from a distance?" ”

Zheng Xiu pointed to one of the four pictures.

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed angrily: "This young son of the Gongsun family, are you teasing me?" There are thousands of mountains in the world that look like three fingers, and there are at least two slaps in the history of the famous, should you tell the old man, you can see these from the painting? ”

"That's why I don't know for sure." Zheng Xiu shook his head strangely, he beckoned to Xiao Tao, motioning for Xiao Tao to hold up one of them, the picture facing outward, standing on the side of the round table.

"It's not because the puzzles of the four seasons are too difficult, but because ...... It's too simple. ”

After Xiao Tao, Zheng Xiu asked Dugu Xiang, Xie Luohe, and Cheng Huan to hold a painting. He circled around the round table a few times, adjusting the positions of the four of them. All four paintings are facing outward.

He took Bai Xiaosheng around the table: "You look at the painting, listen to me." ”

"Every painting actually has a mountain that looks like three fingers. In addition to "Spring Pond Willow Swallow Picture". It seems to be just a coincidence of the remaining three paintings. But if you think about it a little, if these four paintings are from four different directions of Nie Gong's treasure house to see the same mountain. ”

"It just so happens that the mountain on the picture of Liuyan in Chuntang is on the side of 'the peak that looks like three fingers erected', so it looks like there is only one."

"Then in this direction of the mountain, there is a willow forest, there is a pond, there is a maple forest on this side, the direction of the mountain is this side, and there is the direction of the scorching sun on the midsummer map, which is enough to roughly locate the direction of the mountain, and the Aoxue map uses a group of mountains to locate the distant position of the mountain......"

Following Zheng Xiu's train of thought around the round table, the more Bai Xiaosheng looked at it, the more frightened he became. As Zheng Xiu said, these four pictures depict the same place from different angles. If these four maps form a simple "three-dimensional holographic map", then the common denominator on all maps is a "mountain that looks like three fingers up."

Everyone put down the painting and looked at it differently, and they were all amazed and agreed with Zheng Xiu's idea.

But Zheng Xiu still felt a little unreliable, and his intuition told him that it seemed too simple.

It's just that the clues are only there at the moment.

Bai Xiaosheng, who is familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers and has traveled all over the north and south, closed his eyes and thought about the time for a full stick of incense.

Finally, he slapped his thigh.

"Damn! It's the mountain! In ancient times, it was called "pulling out the mountain", taking the meaning of "pulling out two fingers with five fingers", at the junction of Yanzhou and Pingzhou, the pond had dried up many years ago! If Brother Gongsun is right, the treasure house of Gong Nie is hidden in the mountains! ”

"Let's go!"

Xie Luohe didn't say a word, slapped his palm, rolled up the two scrolls, put them in his hands, turned around and left.

Bang Bang!

Just as they were about to leave the secret room and go to Nie Gong's treasure house day and night.

There was a rush of gongs outside.

"They're back?"

Dugu Xiang knew that this was the "alarm" of the Hidden Sword Villa, and he chuckled in his heart, took a few steps, and walked out of the secret room.

"The owner is not good!"

The secret room is no secret in the inner door of the Hidden Sword Villa. Dugu Xiang walked out of the entrance of the secret passage, and an older disciple hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice and whispered in Dugu Xiang's ear.

"What did they say?"

Zheng Xiu couldn't hear it, so he asked Xie Luohe directly.

Xie Luohe's eyes were cold, and he smiled: "Imperial court." ”
