Chapter 574: Treasure Map
The secret passage is like a sheep's intestines, about a hundred steps away. At the end of it is a small stone house. On the stone wall facing the dark passage, there is a hollow green jade peony jade plate with a diameter of more than three feet.
The second shopkeeper stood in front of the jade plate, turned around and signaled Shen Yun to silence first, and then made a gesture of please.
In fact, without his signal, Shen Yun had already heard the man's voice from behind the big jade plate before he entered the stone house.
And, it was the voice of the Rosan who had asked to see the owner in the hall earlier.
In other words, behind the big jade plate is their owner's bedroom.
Shen Yun walked to the big jade plate quietly and looked inside through the hollow carving.
Sure enough, I saw a middle-aged man with a sallow face crooked on a stepping bed. At this time, his body was covered with two thick cotton mattresses.
The Luosang tribesman was sitting on a square pestle next to the bed, and was persuading the middle-aged man to cooperate with the Luosang people to benefit the village.
However, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man on the bed suddenly coughed earth-shatteringly. It was as if the lungs were going to be coughed out in the next breath.
Seeing this, the big shopkeeper standing in front of the bed hurriedly picked up the tea cup on the high table of begonias next to the bed and went to feed him.
No, the middle-aged man took a sip and squirted out again almost immediately.
The big shopkeeper saw that the tea sprayed out was actually tinged with a faint blood, and the whole person was suddenly not good. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground, and he shouted with a crying voice: "Dongjia, what's wrong with you?
Fortunately, the Luosang people flashed quickly, so they were not splashed with the bloody tea. Seeing this, he got up stupidly: "Since Luo Jun is sick, then it is good to recuperate." I will come to visit Luo Jun next time. ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he pressed his heart and struggled to get up to see them off.
As a result, he coughed even more violently.
The big shopkeeper cried: "Boss, don't bother, go along first......"
Seeing that it didn't look like a fake, the Luosang people got up, waved their hands, and hurried out of the bedroom with four guards.
The middle-aged man was still coughing desperately.
After a while, a young man who looked like a follower came in from outside the door, rubbed his hands together and smiled, "Master, the dwarf monkeys are gone." ”
When Shen Yun heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head and curl the corners of his mouth. These days, he walks the streets outside, and he often hears people call the Luosang people like this behind their backs.
The middle-aged man stopped coughing at once, inhaled "Zi", and explained to the big shopkeeper: "I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fool me just now, so I had to bite my tongue a little bit." ”
"The dwarf monkey is fine, it's not easy to deceive. The big shopkeeper sighed and offered the teacup again, "I think the proprietor deliberately bit his tongue." Boss, cough your mouth. ”
When the middle-aged man took the tea cup and coughed, the second shopkeeper coughed vigorously.
The middle-aged man smiled knowingly: "I'm fine, you guys go down." ”
"Yes. The shopkeeper and the young man left the room.
The middle-aged man lifted the thick quilt, turned over and got out of bed, and walked quickly towards the big jade plate. He patted somewhere on the big jade plate. Immediately, Shen Yun heard the subtle sound of the "click" mechanism activating.
In a few moments, the stone wall inlaid with a large jade plate slowly rotated.
"The little ones have seen the adults. When a gap was one person wide, the middle-aged man respectfully clenched his fists and saluted.
Shen Yun didn't talk nonsense, walked out of the stone room, and asked directly, "How does Master Luo know that I am a monk?"
"The adults are tormented by the little ones. The small surname is Luo, and the single name is a strict character. If the adults don't give up, the small 'Lao Luo' is. The middle-aged man replied, "The Yan brothers, father and son, were sent out of the city by the youngest. Before leaving, Brother Yan promised the little one that after leaving the city, he would try his best to find an immortal official for the little one to come back. The adult took Brother Yan's letter of recommendation, and he came from outside the city, so it must be the immortal official. didn't hide it from the adults, and the little ones tried their best to send more than a dozen groups of people out of the city to visit the immortal officials. Adults are the only ones who have been found so far. ”
I see. Shen Yun nodded, and asked again, "What are you looking for me for?" sighed and said, "If you want me to help you drive away the Luosang army in the city, it will only disappoint you." I can't cultivate enough, and I can't do it on my own. If you ask me to take you out of Hundred Mile City, you might as well give it a try. However, you have to think clearly, if you leave like this, if you are discovered by the Luosang people, your family will be difficult to preserve. ”
Luo Yan smiled bitterly: "The little one doesn't dare to think about it." "He was so closely watched by the Luosang people that he couldn't even get out of this bedroom door. Even if you see an individual, you can only take the risk of activating the secret path that the family has inherited for more than a hundred years. So, where would he dare to hope to escape from the city?
However, this adult did not refuse, and came over happily, giving him a lot of hope.
"Your Excellency has been wandering around the city all these days, are you looking for someone?" he asked with a tingle of courage.
Shen Yun wrung his eyebrows, and his voice became colder and colder: "You sent someone to secretly follow me?"
"No, the little ones don't dare. Don't misunderstand. "This was the expected reaction. Luo Yan hurriedly defended, "How dare the little ones peep at the adults? The little ones have lived here for generations, and their relatives and friends are all over the city. So, it's just a little bit better-informed. If you are offended, please punish you. As he spoke, he pushed it to the end very sincerely.
Well, in the past, he would never dare to pay attention to the whereabouts of an immortal official. But who told him that there was no other way out of it now?
"What do you want me to carry for you?" the mind-reading technique still works. Shen Yun glanced at his heart and asked deliberately.
When Luo Yan heard this, he instantly understood that the other party was deliberately asking such a question. to show the ability to read the minds of others.
At the same time, a pair of eyes couldn't help but light up.
Great! My lord is a powerful person, not an idle person! Brother Yan will not deceive me!
"My lord Mingjian!" he replied quickly after suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, "The little one asks the lord to help him take away the treasure map left by the deceased lord of the city." ”
It turned out that the last time the city lord went up to the city tower, before resisting the attack of the Luosang people, he secretly gave him this treasure map, saying that it was an ancestral heirloom, and told him to keep it well. But there is one thing, which must not fall into the hands of the Luosan people.
However, somehow, the Luosang people still got a hint of rumor. On the grounds of wooing, he asked the city lord several times what he had left behind.
He knew that he couldn't cover this treasure map, so he thought about secretly getting rid of it and presenting it to Xianmen. His family has been mortal for generations, so he knows where to go to find the immortal gate. It was the city lord who told him that the immortal officials in the world are all from the immortal gate. That's why he came up with this solution.
"The Rosan people are too fierce. The little ones don't dare to ask the fairy gate to save my family, more than 100 people, old and young, out of this doom. I just hope that the adults can take this treasure map, and don't let it fall into the hands of the Luosan people. I've also fulfilled the trust of the lord of the castle. ”
