Volume 2: The Golden Volume, Chapter 45 The Problem of Credit
Everyone cautiously walked into the hall on the first floor.
Although the hall is dim and dark, with the firelight outside the field, it is not a problem for masters to see. However, there was still a ghost man who lit a fire.
The ghost girl who walked in front was stunned for a moment.
The hall was empty!
Why is this so?
The ghost girl was unwilling to search around. However, there is nothing here, not even a mechanism to be found.
The phoenix ghost head girl asked coldly, "Where is the secret treasure?"
"My subordinates don't know ......," the ghost girl didn't notice that her voice trembled.
"Do you know where the sin should be if this trip is unsuccessful?"
If so much human and financial resources are used, if it is useless...... The ghost girl's eyes were gray, her throat was dry, and she couldn't say a word.
The man in black had been standing by and watching, and when he saw the ghost girl being terrified, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey, hey, do you think that the secret treasures of the Wen family will be hidden in this hall?"
"Isn't it?" the phoenix ghost girl slowly rolled her eyes.
"Apparently not. The man in black lifted his chin leisurely, "But you can guess. ”
"Childe must know where the secret treasure is hidden, right?" The ghost girl seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Ouch!" The man in black suddenly bent over his chest and cried out in pain, "I was too big when I opened the door just now, and now it seems to be poisoned." ”
"Please take the antidote. The ghost girl said politely, but her eyes flashed gloomily. has asked for help, knowing that he is pretending, he has to give him the antidote.
"This can't be a fake medicine, right?" the man in black picked up the pill and studied it carefully, "Since you remember Ben Gongzi's famous words about business partners and confidantes, you should also remember another famous quote from Ben Gongzi." As a businessman, there are two things that you should never sell. One is virtue, and the other is faith. No trust, no business, no virtue, no adult. A person without credibility cannot become a qualified businessman, and if he lacks a moral bottom line, then he cannot even be a person. I wonder if you ever brought these two things with you when you traded with me?"
Listening to his sneering, the ghost girl secretly clenched her fists, but it was indisputable. She had only plotted against him once last night. Licking her lips, she said softly: "Please believe in the slave family, this is indeed the real medicine." ”
The man in black tilted his head and squinted at her, looking at her again and again. It seems to weigh the weight of her words, and it seems to weigh the weight of her character.
The ghost girl lowered her eyelids, trying to hold back the anger that rose up. No one has ever dared to treat her like this in public, especially in front of the leader, which is tantamount to humiliating her in public!
Just when the ghost girl was almost annoyed and embarrassed by him, the man in black finally retracted his gaze, "Okay, I'll believe you again." He tossed the pill high, opened his mouth to eat it, and then smacked his lips to taste it, "It doesn't seem to work." ”
The ghost girl swallowed secretly, "It takes time to take the medicine until it takes effect, and it takes about three quarters of an hour for the strength to fully recover." ”
"That's right. The man in black touched his chin, "Then I'll tell you in three quarters of an hour." If this medicine is fake, won't I be empty of both people and money?"
"Definitely the real medicine!" the ghost girl was anxious. At this critical juncture, how could you wait for him another three quarters of an hour. After a pause, she said, "Childe can use his internal strength to urge the medicinal power, and it only takes half a cup of tea to recover." It's just ......"
"Just what?" the man in black didn't let her hesitate.
"It's just a little bit of pain. "The ghost girl was a little stumbling.
The old rivers and lakes all know: there are many poisons in the rivers and lakes that are specifically aimed at the masters of internal strength, as long as the poisoned person uses internal strength, it will cause toxicity. Unless the poisoner's own skill is extremely high, the poison can be temporarily suppressed. The poison made by the ghost girl is among the best in the rivers and lakes, and it is known for its toxicity and ruthlessness.
The man in black shook his head, "I'm afraid of pain, so I'll wait and see." ”
The ghost girl's eyes were sharp, and she looked at the ghost man next to her like a rescue. Several ghost men immediately approached the black-clothed men with unkind expressions.
"I'm kidding. The man in black laughed, then sighed, "I wanted to poison before, but now I rely on life to detoxify." If you want me to say, this is not pure foolishness. ”
The ghost girl was so depressed that she almost wanted to vomit blood, and while taking a deep breath, she secretly enlightened herself: You can't compare with him, he is a person who can go crazy even with the calmest Wen Si.
The man in black accepted it when he saw it, and his face was solemn, "Since you have arrived here, you must also know that the secret treasure of the Wen family is hidden in the Star Picking Tower." Last night, someone traced from the second floor of the Star Picking Building to the top floor of the Star Picking Tower and found no trace of the secret treasure, so there is only one possibility: the seven-story Star Picking Tower is just a disguise, and the real secret treasure is hidden in the ......"
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused, his eyes mysteriously circled around everyone's faces, and he was satisfied to see that everyone was looking at him nervously, and then slowly spit out two words, "Underground." ”
"Underground, you mean there is still an underground in this star-picking building!" the ghost girl exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly came to her senses. yes, why didn't you think there was an underground?
The man in black said leisurely: "This Junan Villa is built on a high mountain, and the Star Picking Tower is the tallest building in the villa, most thieves will desperately want to climb to the top floor, and there are indeed a lot of treasures there. The designer of this building is to use the inertia in people's thinking, and no one would have expected that the underground of this star-picking building is the most difficult blind spot to detect. If the Wen Mansion can have such a design, it can be regarded as exhaustive. After a pause, his voice raised, "It's a pity that he met Ben Gongzi!" Last night I came down from the cave and found that this building could lead to the underground, and I understood the mystery. There are a lot of people tonight, so it's time to take a look. ”
The ghost girl nodded in understanding and asked, "How can I go underground?"
"It ......won't work out in ordinary ways," the man in black propped his chin and roamed the hall. Then he walked to the center of the room, pressed his ear against the massive support pillar, and tapped it several times. Gesturing to a position, he said to the ghost man who made the axe, "You split it from here." ”
The ghost man who made the short axe looked up at the huge support pillar hugged by several people, and then looked at his short copper axe, his face was embarrassed.
"Do as he says. The phoenix ghost maiden ordered.
The ghost man of the short axe did not dare to disobey, and took the short axe and chopped it hard.
After a few axes, his eyes showed surprise, "It's hollow inside!"
The ghost girl couldn't hold back her excitement, and shouted again and again: "Hurry up and split, the treasure must be down there!"
The man in black smiled proudly: "That's nature, how can this son's words be wrong." I want to be a talented ...... of my son."
Before he could finish his words, he was pulled aside by the ghost man who made the sword. The two ghost men each did their best, and the blade and the hatchet took turns to strike. After a while, the giant pillar was smashed into a large hole.
When the cave could accommodate her, the ghost girl couldn't wait to jump down, so that the ghost man with the short axe and the ghost man with the sword hurriedly followed.
The phoenix ghost head girl was about to go down, but was politely stopped by the man in black, "Underground filth, noble young lady, please wait for a while." ”
As he spoke, there was a "squeak" sound of the mechanism running in the cave, followed by the exclamations of the ghosts.
The face of the phoenix ghost leader changed, and the burly ghost man who followed her immediately stood murderously in front of the man in black.
The man in black smiled at the two of them, "Don't worry, they can handle it." ”
After a while, the underground was calm.
The man in black blinked, "It looks like the bottom has been cleaned, please two of you." ”
"You first!" said the burly ghost man in a deep voice.
"Then you're welcome. The man in black shook his sleeves and jumped off easily.
Inside the cave, the ghost girl stood up with a disgraced face.
The man in black landed in front of her, pretending to be surprised, "But for a moment, why are you so dirty? ”
The ghost girl was silent and glared at him fiercely: Li Lingzhi was stunned, and he was actually framed by him.
The man in black tilted his head, "Why are you looking at me like this? Isn't it that after tasting the 'Ninety-Nine to One', and then facing other organs, I suddenly feel bored?"
The ghost man who made the short axe get up from not far away, unkempt and bruised. He picked up his short axe and rushed towards the man in black, "Boy, you dare to plot grandpa!"
The man in black smiled and hid behind the phoenix ghost leader, "It's just some cleaning work, why are you so excited? Besides, I'm not still poisoned, of course you have to do the physical work." ”
"I won't spare you!" the ghost man who made the knife came out from the other side, his clothes were stripped and his image was comparable to that of a beggar.
"Stop!" "Stop!" the phoenix ghost girl raised her hand to stop, "I believe that Gongzi is not trying to harm your life." ”
"It's still Sister Phoenix who has insight. The man in black squinted and poked his head out, "Actually, you should thank me." If I hadn't come down last night to see it, your work today would have been much heavier. ”
"Having said that," the phoenix ghost head girl turned her head to face each other, her eyes like a needle, "In order not to cause estrangement, I also asked the son to inform me of the intention." ”
As soon as she said this, the ghost man who made the short axe and the ghost man who made the sword immediately sandwiched the man in black in the middle.
The man in black shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "I have a particularly serious problem, if I am curious about something, I must find out." The reason why I came here is actually very simple, I want to see what the secret treasure that the Wen family has guarded for many years is. I can't fight the Wen family alone, so I have to rely on your strength. ”
After staring at him for a moment, the Phoenix Ghost Leader said, "Childe is not afraid of spending so much effort, and what he sees may be completely useless to Childe?"
"For me, the outcome doesn't matter, as long as it's fun, it's worth it. The man in black smiled and glanced at the phoenix ghost head, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you already know what the Wen family's secret treasure is?"
"It's just speculation. The phoenix ghost head girl didn't want to say much, "There is not much time, and I ask the son to show me the way back." ”
"Well, let's all come and help. ”
Under the command of the man in black, the demons dismantled the destroyed mechanisms one by one, and a narrow stone door gradually revealed on one wall. I saw him fiddle with his hand a few times, and after a series of buttons rang, the stone door opened inward.
"Everyone, please. The man in black stood at the doorway of the black hole and made a gesture.
"Childe first, please!" the ghost girl looked cautious.
The man in black smiled faintly, straightened his legs, and walked into the door.
After waiting for a while, he was fine after listening to him, and then the ghosts followed.
Behind the stone gate is a narrow road, which only allows one person to pass through.
The man in black walked in front, and everyone walked in a row. In turn, the ghost man who makes the short axe and the ghost man who makes the board knife, the phoenix ghost head girl is protected in the middle, the burly ghost man is behind him, and the ghost girl walks last.
After walking dozens of steps, the front suddenly opened up, and a wide stone gate appeared in front of everyone.
After the man in black fumbled by the stone door for a moment, there was another series of button sounds. When the sound stopped, he opened the door with his hand.
The people followed him into the door, where there was a huge stone chamber, about ten zhang high, and dozens of zhang long and wide. The entire stone chamber should have been carved out of the mountain, and the four walls, ceiling and floor were all stone walls. At this time, it was the middle of summer, and although it was late at night, the temperature outside the building was still very hot, but there was a chill surging in this stone room.
In the middle of the stone room, there is a stone platform that is more than a foot high. There is a piano case on the stage, there is a piano on the case, and a red candle is burned in the corner of the case.
Under the faint candle flame, it is faintly visible that a person behind the piano case sits like a clock, with a graceful and elegant expression.
A desolate sound sounded, slender fingers slid over the strings, and flowing music flowed slowly from the man's fingers.
Listen only to the gentleman's elegant whispering:
"The light moon frost flowers are sorrowful, and the flick of the fingers is late to know the fate of the ......"
The quaint and desolate sound of the piano and the low and ethereal voice are like old wines, which have been washed over the years and precipitated the richest essence.
Just smell it, it's intoxicating.
Suddenly, the sound of the piano turned from slow to urgent, and the singing gradually became dull.
The intention of slaughter suddenly rose, like a west wind blowing through the barren land, and severe frost was everywhere.
The burly ghost man suddenly grasped the weapon, and secretly frightened: this person's piano sound implied a deep and strong sword intent. And that sword intent is still above Wen Haowu!
