She was frightened by Bai Lang, so she could only obediently comply. "Alright, let's join forces against the enemy!"

Although she was reluctant, if she didn't agree, she really had no other way.

Whether Bai Lang really wants to share the treasure with her, no one knows. However, he knew in his heart that if he didn't cooperate with the female thief in front of him, he wouldn't want to get the secrets of the seven-pointed candlestick and the colorful gems.

In this way, in fact, the cooperation between the two of them is nothing more than using each other and deceiving each other. Will they be able to work together to the end and discover the treasure? Will the Cabal of Niushan be able to find the treasure?

Hakuro only knew about the seven-pointed candlestick and the seven-colored gems, hinting at the location of the hidden treasure, but he knew nothing else.

He didn't know what was in these treasures, let alone which dynasty the treasures belonged to. Of course, this is also normal, because for some time now, he has been fighting openly and secretly with Niu Zhang's gang. Recently, he has been busy intriguing with the eldest female thief Hao, so he has no way of knowing more details about these treasures.

Regarding the details of the treasure, he could only listen to Haomei.

Bai Lang pulled a sheet over a sheet, gently covered the old man Yang who was still in a coma, and motioned for Haomei to sit on the chair, and pulled a chair himself to sit down.

"Please tell me more about the treasure."

Haomei was afraid that Bai Lang would go to the Security Bureau to report it, so he had to tell the whole situation, and the content was roughly as follows:

It was more than 20 years ago, the abbot of Dongyue Temple, during his trip to Dongzhou, was trapped by a heavy thunderstorm and lived in the old governor's mansion.

Tan Xu, the owner of the mansion at that time, was an old man in his 80s.

One night, Tan Xu told Cihang a big secret. Here's the situation:

At the time of the Taiping rebellion, Tan Xu was still a teenager with parents who died early and was raised by an aunt.

His aunt was a well-known and kind person, who often brought things to the inmates in the nearby prison and took special care of the poor and sick inmates. There were many Taiping soldiers in the prison.

The young Tan Xu often followed his aunt to rescue these prisoners and comfort them. Among the prisoners, there was a man who was very honest, but no one knew his name, or even the cause of his crime. However, one can be sure that he is by no means a bad person. The young Tan Xu was very sympathetic to him, and he often visited him alone, and often comforted him.

This prisoner was very moved, and every time he saw Tan Xu go, he would shed tears of gratitude. However, he has already been sentenced to death and will die soon. That evening, Tan Xu went to see him alone, and he said earnestly:

"Little friend! We're going to say goodbye forever. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Hades. I'm going to disappear without revealing my name, without revealing my identity, that's what I wanted. So, I didn't tell anyone my name and identity.

"Little friend! Please don't blame me, I can't tell you my name either. But before I die, I have one thing to ask you. It's a big secret that I haven't told anyone. Now, I just want to tell you that you will keep it in mind and do it for me when you become an adult. Please, little friend. ”

He said this while holding Tan Xu's hand. As he looked straight at the young man's face, he continued:

"I was originally the presiding officer of Dongzhou Temple. At that time, I was entrusted with the custody of a sum of property, which could not be counted in numbers. For the sake of convenience, I exchanged them all for gems, and in order to prevent the gems from falling into the hands of the Taiping army, I hid the gems in an extremely secret place on the outskirts of Dongzhou.

"Of course, only I know about it, and I marked it there. In the beginning, I hid it in a well-enclosed stone crevice on the outside; Later, the number of gems increased, so they had to be packed in boxes and buried under the rocks. Shortly thereafter, however, I was put in prison. ”

Speaking of this, he clearly told the young man Tan Xu the location of the treasure. Because he was afraid that he would not be able to remember it at a young age, he was taught the code words of remembering the place.

Then he said:

"Children, after 20 years, the world will be calm, and you will grow up. At that time, I hope that you will definitely go to Tennoji Temple on the side of the Huangfu River to offer incense on February 17, the birthday of the Tenwang Bodhisattva.

"One day, next to the statue of the Celestial King Bodhisattva in the temple's Mahavira Hall, there will be a man dressed in black. After you speak the code words to him, he will lead you to the seven-pointed menorah next to the statue. There, you speak a code word, and he will speak it to you. Then, you can take him to the granite where the gem is hidden and tell him where the treasure is hidden. Little friend, it's all up to you! Don't forget! ”

Tan Xu tearfully agreed to him. The next day, the mysterious abbot of Tennoji was guillotined and never returned.

A few years later, Tan Xu's aunt died of illness, he lost his support, in order to survive, he joined the government army, and later went to the front line, participated in some battles, had some military exploits, and was promoted to a military academy. After the defeat of the Taiping Army, Tan Xu was already in his 30s, he didn't want to stay in the army, he retired and went home, and his military rank was canceled.

The 20th year after the abbot's death. On February 17 of that year, he went to the Tianwang Temple by the Huangfu River as promised, but the man in black never appeared next to the seven-pointed candlestick.

Every year after that, he went to the Tennoji Temple by the Huangfu River.

Fifty years have passed, and although he has never stopped, the man in black has not been found in the end.

If he was a money-hungry villain, he would have dug up the gem and claimed it. But he couldn't do that. Until now, he still insists on going to Tennoji Temple by the Huangfu River every year, waiting for the appearance of the man in black.

However, Tan Xu is now in his 80s after all. Speaking of this, he sighed and said:

"It's a strange thing! I've been waiting for 50 years, is the man in black dead? How do I do that? This matter involves a huge amount of treasure, and it is inconvenient for me to tell others, which makes me very distressed.

"Fortunately, I met a Buddhist like you tonight, so I dared to tell me this secret, please show me a way!"

Abbot Cihang listened to this long story quietly, but he always felt that it seemed a little bizarre, so he frankly talked about his thoughts. Unexpectedly, Old Man Tan was very angry after hearing this, he went out for a while, and when he came back, he held a boxwood box in his hand and said:

"This is a chest left by the abbot, please take a look."

As he spoke, Old Man Tan stretched out his hand and opened the box, and the abbot leaned over to take a look, and couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that inside the chest, it was filled with all kinds of precious gems.
