Chapter 32: The Secret Treasure of the Outer Heavens
In the patriarch's house, the oil lamp was dim.
Mo Xiaolou squinted his eyes and said nothing, waiting for Xia Miaoying to speak.
Concubine Xuan's injuries had been healed for the most part after the True Qi Breathing, and at this time she had already fallen asleep on Mo Xiaolou's back.
"Ding Gongzi, I think you have also heard about my Yao Clan's secret treasure, right?"
"Not really. ”
"Hey...... It's a long story, so let's make a long story short. Twenty years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and happened to fall on the place where the ancestral tomb of the Yao people was buried. At that time, the elders of the main lineage of the Yao tribe thought that the gods were angry, so they sent a branch of the blood line to the mausoleum to settle down and guard the town, which is the reason why Sina and the others settled in this deep mountain and old forest......"
"Ten years ago, the old man came here by chance, and when he saw that Sina had extraordinary bones, he wanted to take her as an apprentice. Unexpectedly, when I went with her to meet her parents, I was stunned to find that this entire tribe has excellent roots and bones. Find a random person on the road, and the root bone talent is much stronger than those apprentices I took outside. I was suspicious, so I used the excuse to live here, and after many investigations, I finally found ......"
She paused, her voice lowered.
"I found that every few days, from the place of burial, there will be a strange fluctuation coming out, this fluctuation when the first contact, people have a chill all over the body, but after the baptism of fluctuations, the body will have a sense of I Ching marrow. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but after three months and the baptism of the ten breaths, I was shocked to find that my roots and bones had really strengthened!"
"Combined with the legend of the meteorite that fell from the sky back then, I guessed that the thing that fell from the sky must be a treasure outside the sky!" Xia Miaoying's eyes were burning, and she looked at Mo Xiaolou without blinking.
"What does this have to do with me?" Mo Xiaolou's eyes and expression did not change in the slightest, and he spoke lightly.
Xia Miaoying saw that Mo Xiaolou looked unmoved, so she continued:
"A few months ago, there was another out-of-phase in the southwest, and another extraterrestrial meteorite fell in Bashu. Originally, there was nothing to do, but a certain clansman in this Qingfeng Village was greedy and sneaked out of the village, wanting to find the newly descended strange treasure for himself. It's a pity that as soon as he got out of Yaozhai, he offended the local gang and was captured...... In desperation, he had to release the news of the secret treasure to save his life. So, the news spread. ”
"Over the past few months, we've captured and repelled countless treasure hunters, but everyone knows that the ones who are here at this time are just pathfinders. A few days ago, righteous people from Sichuan, Shu and the Central Plains suddenly gathered and came to the southwest. I knew that the real storm was coming. ”
Mo Xiaolou's expression froze, and he said in his heart that these people are really not gathered for your secret treasure...... But he said: "So you decided to take the first step and take the treasure yourself?"
"Definitely. ”
Xia Miaoying smiled mysteriously and said:
"It's not that I'm going to grab the treasure, it's that I want to ask Ding Gongzi to help me win the treasure. ”
"Huh?" Mo Xiaolou said in surprise: "Why don't you go yourself?" Such a secret treasure, if I get it, I will definitely not hand it over to you." ”
"Haha," Xia Miaoying smiled and said, "You have extraordinary roots, you have almost reached a state of impurity, why do you need such a secret treasure......?"
"At this time, an outsider who doesn't need the secret treasure at all suddenly appears, isn't it the will of karma? This is my Xia Miaoying's creation!" she stood up excitedly, as if she had foreseen the wonderful scene after she won the secret treasure.
Mo Xiaolou frowned, looked at Xia Miaoying, who was a little out of shape, and reminded:
"Why should I help you?"
"That's a good question!" Xia Miaoying took another step forward, her words full of bewitchment: "If you help me obtain this treasure, I will make the decision to marry Sina Xu to you? She is the princess of the Yao clan, the heir of the next clan lord." Wouldn't it be wonderful if you took her, and you would have both beauty and status and power?" she saw that Mo Xiaolou was young, so she tempted her with her beauty and status, but it was a pity......
"Not interested. Mo Xiaolou didn't bother to talk nonsense with her at all, simply and directly refused, and got up to leave.
His performance was greatly unexpected by Xia Miaoying, and he was incomprehensible: "You only need to go to the mausoleum once, and get something you don't need, so that you can have both wealth and status, why refuse?"
"First, this kind of treasure, even if it is useless to me, can enhance people's roots, how much is it worth more than ten thousand gold? Hmph, you know this truth, but you deliberately induce me to help you seize it. Obviously, you must have arranged for a back hand to ensure that I take the treasure and not take it with me......"
The smile on the corner of Mo Xiaolou's mouth turned cold, and he met Xia Miaoying's half-squinted eyes, and continued:
"Second, you've been here for many years, and I don't believe you haven't had the intention of keeping the treasure for yourself. I'm afraid you've been to the mausoleum before, right? Hehe, with your martial arts, you still returned in vain, and even when a large number of outsiders were ready to seize the treasure, you didn't dare to go in again, but fooled me, an outsider...... Hmph, the place of hidden treasure is by no means as simple as an ordinary mausoleum!"
Xia Miaoying saw that Mo Xiaolou had exposed her lie in just a few words, smiled helplessly, and sat on the bamboo chair dejectedly.
"Well, I know you're not so easy to deceive. ”
This will Mo Xiaolou didn't leave in a hurry, and waited for Xia Miaoying's later text.
"I did visit the mausoleum...... "I took out a fragment of stone and iron from his bosom and threw it on the table.
"When I settled here, I noticed that there were a lot of these stone-like fragments in the surrounding mountains for no apparent reason, with strange patterns carved on them. I was suspicious, and when I looked closely, I found that these stones, when put together, could form a pattern like a dead map. I immediately linked it to the secret treasure of the mausoleum......"
"Sure enough, I found the entrance to the mausoleum from the secret cave on the other side of the top of the mountain, as shown in the picture......"
There was a look of horror in her eyes, as if she remembered some bad memories.
"Who would have thought that there would be a lot of mechanisms in this mausoleum, and I relied on my body to break the mechanisms and continue to go deeper, just when I was about to reach the center of the mausoleum. Countless golden figures appeared in front of them...... These golden men are invincible and tireless when they strike...... What's even more terrifying is that no matter what kind of attack hits them, they will be like mud cows entering the sea, and they can't hurt them at all! In desperation, I had to forcibly use the secret method to escape dangerously......
Her expression was a little gloomy, and she said:
"However, this secret method is detrimental to longevity. That's when I became the old woman who was neither a ghost nor a ghost......"
At this point, she suddenly raised her voice.
"But, I saw your fierce sword today, and you seem to have indestructible power, I think you will definitely be able to break through the golden man here!"
Mo Xiaolou understood the reason, and said, "I said why did you suddenly want to compete with me, and you also instructed me intentionally or unintentionally...... Hehe, if I expected it to be true, if I promised to help you capture the treasure, when I broke through those golden people, you would immediately make a sneak attack, right? ”
Xia Miaoying didn't defend either, so she acquiesced.
After a long time, Xia Miaoying's expression was straight, and she looked like a fair negotiation.
"Since you have seen through it, I won't spare the bend, how about you and I capture the treasure together? I have a map, I can take you to break into the center of the mausoleum easily, you just need to use the sword qi to help me break the golden human array." At that time, whoever can win the treasure will depend on their ability. Now ......"
"Make your terms. How can I go with me?"
