Xu Zidao looked at the four picture scrolls on the bookcase, his brows gradually furrowed, and his eyes flashed with thought.

Lin Taiping had never seen Xu Zidao's expression, and in his impression, there were few who could stump Xu Zidao, and he couldn't help but look at the bookcase curiously.

I saw that the first picture scroll depicts an endless desert, full of fine yellow sand, in the endless sand dunes, there stands a tall minaret, this tower has nine floors, each floor has a portal open in the front, and there is a couplet on both sides of the gate on the first floor, but the strange thing is that this couplet is composed of numbers.

The second picture scroll is also an infinite desert, but unlike the first picture, in this infinite desert, there is a vast river running forward, zigzag, endless, the sky is gray, but a hint of crimson can be faintly seen in the thick clouds.

The third picture depicts an oasis with a lake in the middle of the oasis, with waves on it, and birds circling among the trees on the oasis.

The fourth picture scroll is a city gate, this city gate looks quaint and vast, it is covered with scratches, it should have some history, at the city gate there is a gallop road that extends out, spreading into the distance, and around the gallop road is a poplar forest.

After reading these four paintings, Lin Taiping only felt that the second monk was confused, no wonder Xu Zidao had this look on his face, no one could understand the mystery of it! It was completely a donkey's lips and a horse's mouth, and it had nothing to do with it.

Ji Qianye looked at Lin Taiping's stunned expression, and a smile appeared on his face, but he was not disappointed, because he was not interested in Lin Taiping, but Xu Zidao, maybe Xu Zidao could crack the mystery.

Ji Qianye's eyes have always been very accurate, from the moment Xu Zidaofu stepped into the living room, he noticed this gentle and elegant young man, this young man has always been a light and breezy look, pampered and not shocked, as if there is no other thing in this world can interfere with his mind, such a person is either extremely confident or has two brushes in his hands.

Just from his calm Ji Qianye, who does not match his age, he can conclude that this young man is not a thing in the pool, and the conversation that follows makes him deeply understand the horror of this young man, his mind is like a demon and calm like a fox, his eyes are like a torch and he is bold and careful, such a person may be able to solve the mystery of the treasure.

Xu Zidao naturally didn't know what Ji Qianye was thinking, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, his mind at the moment was completely attracted by these four picture scrolls, even if there was a peerless beauty stripped naked and standing in front of him, he wouldn't necessarily take a look.

He was a very simple man.

As long as the mind sinks, even eight cows can't pull it back.

Sometimes simple people tend to bring some unexpected results.

Xu Zidao looked at these four completely different picture scrolls, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and suddenly he turned his head to look at Ji Qianye and said, "Does the mansion master know where the places in these four paintings are?"

Ji Qianye thought about it seriously, paused and said, "I don't know where the first three scrolls depict are, but I have some eyebrows about the places in the fourth scrolls. ”

"Would you like to hear about it?"

Ji Qianye smiled and said slowly: "This fourth picture scroll should be painted on the Longxi Gate in the westernmost part of Tancheng leading to the offshore city, I passed there in the early years because of some things, so I still have a little impression of there. ”

"When you say this, I think of it, there is indeed a gallop road in Longxi Gate that spreads out from the city gate, there is a poplar forest around the gallop road, and the history of the poplar forest is probably longer than that gallop road, in the period of my grandfather's grandfather, the poplar forest stood there, and it is said that it was planted to resist the wind and sand of the desert. Lin Taiping slapped his palms and exclaimed, the excited look was almost about to fall on the bookcase, fortunately he knew that this was the Ji Mansion and reined in his actions, but a pair of eyes were shining, as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

"Longximen?" Xu Zidao groaned slightly, but his body began to pace around the bookcase.

He still had no clue in his heart, what was the relationship between these four scrolls, and what was the Longxi Gate hinting at? Where were the other three scrolls drawn?

The living room was quiet, only the sound of Xu Zidao pacing echoed in the room, and no one else disturbed Xu Zidao, as if they all tacitly agreed that only Xu Zidao could solve the mystery.

Lin Taiping, Madame Rose, Bai Gap, Ji Qianye, Zhao Ada, Fang Tianji, and even Mr. Yu Er, who had been dozing off before, all set their eyes on the young man pacing in the field at this time, wanting to see if this young man could really solve the puzzle as they expected.

Time passed minute by minute, and Xu Zidao had been in the living room for almost an hour.

Lin Taiping finally couldn't hold it anymore, rushed to Xu Zidao and said, "You've been turning around for so long, have you thought of anything?"

Xu Zidao stopped when he heard this, shook his head, but did not speak, and muttered for a long time, before he said: "If you can know the places depicted in the first three paintings, you may be able to decipher the mystery." ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Ji Qianye.

"Since the treasure map is in the form of a picture scroll, the mystery in it must be inextricably linked to the paintings on the scroll, otherwise wouldn't Feng Qiwu's efforts to paint these four paintings be in vain?" Xu Zidao said.

"What Xu Shaoxia said has some truth, it's just that the Northern Desert is so big, how do we know where the place on this picture scroll is?" asked Ji Qianye.

"So the main problem for us now is to find out where the place in this scroll is?" said Xu Zidao slowly.

The living room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes looked at the scroll on the bookcase, as if to see some clue in it.

Suddenly, Lin Taiping slapped his palms violently and exclaimed, "Isn't the river in this second picture scroll the Tongtian River?"

As if to wake up the person in the dream, everyone woke up one after another, with a look of sudden realization on their faces.

Ji Qianye smashed his mouth and said: "On the endless desert, a mighty river is running forward, the sky is crimson, and the birds are extinct, it is undoubtedly the Tongtian River." ”

Xu Zidao smiled and looked at everyone: "Do you remember where the source of the Tongtian River is?"

"Source?" Madame Rose looked at Xu Zidao in some surprise, not understanding what he wanted to say, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, her lips opened slightly, and her face showed a sudden look, and said.

"You're saying that the second scroll is related to the third?"

Xu Zidao nodded.

Lin Taiping was confused by the two of them, and said a little angrily: "You guys don't play dumb riddles, hurry up, I'm about to die!"

Xu Zidao said a little angrily: "You guy, you are usually very smart when you arrive, why are you stupid at a critical moment?"

"Hmph, don't you forget that this Tongtianhe was still thought of by me?" Lin Taiping pouted a little arrogantly and said.

"Good, good, your credit!" Xu Zidao shook his head and smiled.

"Let me tell you!" Lady Rose walked out and came to Xu Zidao's side.

Lin Taiping pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

Madame Rose glanced at Lin Taiping meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Everyone must know that the source of the Tongtian River is from an oasis, but few people have seen the true appearance of the oasis, and this third picture scroll is exactly an oasis, is this Feng Qiwu hinting that the place where our third picture scroll is painted is the source of the Tongtian River." ”

"Could it be that the treasure is in the oasis at the source of the Tongtian River?" said Bai Gap, fanning the folding fan in his hand.

"In my opinion, it's not that simple, if the treasure is in the oasis, then why should he paint four scrolls, two is enough!" said Madame Rose, shaking her head.

"Maybe he is trying to confuse the public, interfere with the line of sight, and make us mistakenly think that the treasure is somewhere else, but in fact, the treasure is at the source of the Tongtian River!" Lin Taiping said.

"It's possible, but it should be small. Xu Zidao said in a deep voice.

Lin Taiping pursed his lips, but he didn't refute it out loud.

"I don't think you should guess, go to the end of the Tongtian River and see. Ji Qianye said with a smile.

At this moment, the closed door of the living room suddenly rang, and Ji Qianye said unhappily: "I don't know if I'm meeting guests now?

The knock on the door outside the living room disappeared, but a slightly respectful voice came in, "Mansion Master, there are two people visiting outside the door, saying that they are paying your contract!"

"Who can these two people say?" Ji Qianye frowned and asked.

"Nope. ”

"Then what do these two people look like?" Ji Qianye asked again.

"One was weak, a scholar, with an iron fan in his hand, and the other with a scruffy beard, but his eyes were bright, as if they were shining with light. ”

Xu Zidao showed a sudden look when he heard this, "It turned out to be them!"

Lin Taiping said with some doubts: "Do you know who is coming?"

Xu Zidao didn't hide it, and said, "It's the two people we saw in the town." ”

Lin Taiping exclaimed: "You mean Qian Kuohai and Wang Qingping?"

Xu Zidao nodded.

And Ji Qianye, after listening to the narration of the family outside the door, said hurriedly: "Quick, hurry up and invite them in!"

"Yes"

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Soon, the door to the living room was pushed open, and two figures walked in.

The moment the living room door was pushed open, a strong wind blew in, blowing the paper on the bookcase, just blowing the paper on the bookcase to overlap each other.

Xu Zidao's eyes swept over the stacked papers on the bookcase, his eyes showed a look of sudden realization, and his lips murmured slightly: "I see!"

Only then did everyone see the two figures coming in.
