"Don't worry, let me speak slowly...... Because this method of concealment is so ingenious, it cannot be explained by people in the past. Even Niu Zhang and Tan Jihong, even including you, no matter how hard they try, they are fruitless. Only I can sort it out and find the answer. And, it's all the result of my hard work in the last 5 minutes. ”

"However, you just told us that Niu Zhang and Tan Jihong already knew the location of the treasure and started excavating, is this fake again?"

"Not bad. I just wanted you to release Tan Qiaoyan faster, so I had an idea and said nonsense. How could they be such stupid people to solve this mystery? Actually, since I came into contact with this matter, I have felt that it is closely related to the number 7. You see, seven temples, seven abbots, and a candlestick with seven corners; And, of course, seven rings, seven colored gemstones. None of them have left the number 7, so I subconsciously keep an eye on it. ”

"Well, that's interesting."

"Hmph, why is it just a little interesting, the content in it is big!"

Speaking of which, Bai Lang handed the piece of paper that he had been holding in his hand to Haomei, look! This piece of paper hasn't left me in a long time. This is the geographical location of the seven temples that I have worked hard to investigate.

"The place names of the seven temple sites, i.e., the contents engraved on the inside of the seven rings."

Bai Lang pointed to the figure and continued:

"See it clearly this time, right? Isn't this arrangement very similar to the Big Dipper? That is to say, the seven temples on the ground correspond to the Big Dipper in the sky, and their positions and shapes are almost the same. Knowing this, wouldn't it be easy to explain the mystery of the codeword?"

"How do you explain that?"

"Huh! You still don't understand?"

Bai Lang felt that Haomei was stupid.

"First, in the southeast of Dongzhou, there is a small village called Xingzipu. It is located on the bank of the Huangfu River, and there is a former mansion in the village. Although the place is now overgrown with weeds, it is the high-ranking residence of the family of the former Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty. This queen mother has been in control of the government for decades, so to speak, her identity is no different from that of the 'queen'.

"Second, there is an unknown underground passage between the mansion and the temple. The opening of the passage is still preserved.

"So, I came to the conclusion that the treasure is near the residence of the Empress Dowager's family, on the embankment of the Huangfu River.

"Moreover, it is said that when she was a child, the Queen Mother often 'ran' towards the 'stone' on the embankment in order to see the grand scenery of the imperial family's fleet sailing on the Huangfu River, and sat on the stone and watched from afar.

"To sum up, this is the whole reason for 'when I was a child, there was a queen who ran towards the stones'.

"Of course, the 'Queen' herself did not know that under the stone she was sitting on, there would be more than a thousand jewels hidden later."

Bai Lang excitedly told everyone the secret, and then took out a pencil and sat down at the table, trying to mark the names of the seven temples on the piece of paper in the direction of the Big Dipper.

At this moment, Haomei winked at Old Man Yang and stood up.

Shirarou was concentrating on writing, and he didn't feel anything unusual.

Haomei gently turned to Bai Lang's back, pulled out a stick from his skirt, and then aimed it at Bai Lang's head and smashed it hard. After Bai Lang screamed, he fell from his chair to the ground and passed out.

Haomei looked at Bai Lang who fell to the ground, and couldn't help but let out an eerie sneer. Old man Yang stepped forward to tie up Bai Lang and dragged him to the side of Niu Zhang.

Haomei walked briskly to the window and whistled twice outside. After a while, a young man came up, and this person was Old Man Yang's assistant, Du Quan.

"Du Quan, you drive the carriage to send Li Yue back to Xialan." Old man Yang said.

"What about you?"

"I'm here to guard these two people, don't let them escape."

"Okay. Madame, let's go back! ”

"Okay, Old Man Yang, you have to take good care of them! I'll go back to the boat and get some rest, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning in search of the treasure." ”

"But when digging for treasure, are there enough people? Can I not go?"

"I'll contact the Wu brothers first, and I'll meet them in Xingzipu Village tomorrow. The two of them are reliable. ”

"So what about Niu Zhang?"

"Once you get the gem, you can let him go."

Haomei said as he walked out. Old man Yang kept sending her out. A moment later, the carriage returned. Bread and wine were brought to Old Man Yang.

Bai Lang woke up early, and he heard all the conversations between Hao Mei and them. However, he did not open his eyes and pretended to be still unconscious.

Old man Yang asked Bai Lang and Niu Zhang to sit back to back, then tied them together with a rope, tied the other end of the rope to the chair, and put a knife on the back of the chair, no matter which of the two people moved, the knife would fall to the ground, thus waking up the sleeping old man Yang.

After everything was arranged, Old Man Yang sat down to eat and lit his pipe. It didn't take long for the sky to get dark. Niu Xiang seemed to be really asleep, and he made a slight snoring sound.

At this time, Bai Lang was thinking about how to escape. He thought to himself that he could escape, but he just had to choose the most ideal way.

While Old Man Yang was not paying attention, Bai Lang secretly twisted his feet. After a while, the rope loosened a lot. He thought that if he loosened the rope on his hand again, then he could take advantage of Old Man Yang's defenselessness to carry out a surprise attack on him, and he would definitely knock him unconscious.

The room was getting darker and darker, and Old Man Yang lit a candle and drank while smoking his pipe. In a few moments, he was sleepy, swaying and his head drooping. Sometimes, he will suddenly wake up and open his eyes wide and say:

"Can't sleep!"

He reminded himself, and took the candle on the table and dripped the hot wax oil on his hand to stimulate himself, and at the same time, holding the candle and looking around, the two people on the ground were still there, and the knife on the chair had not fallen. However, after a few minutes, the candle suddenly fell to the ground, and Old Man Yang fell asleep.

The candles went out, and the room was dark.

It was very quiet, and only the occasional chirping of night bugs could be heard, and everything seemed to be asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but it was about two hours. At this time, the moon rose, and there was a few rays of moonlight in the house. Judging by the moonlight, it was about 9 o'clock.

"If you can escape around 11 o'clock, you can go to Lujiapu at midnight, and after a full meal there, you can go to the apricot shop around 3 o'clock in the morning. In other words, before the sun came out, the more than 1,000 gems belonged to me. ”

Bai Lang tried his best to get rid of the rope tied to his feet, but although the rope was not so tight, he still couldn't pull his feet out.
