Chapter 1413: The Secret of the Treasure (I)
"That's it," Huang Ji continued, "Our appearance was an accident for them, but looking at it like this, it seems that they were also involved in some incident in the process of robbing the tomb......
"What does the missing brother mean......" Hearing this, Liu Duan said silently on the side, could it be that behind them, there is another group of people investigating the secret of the treasure.
"Then according to what you mean by Brother Huang Ji, these people are just small characters......" Xiao Tian, who had calmed down, couldn't help but ask Huang Ji.
"I don't know very well, it seems that there is still a ......mystery behind all this," Huang Ji said contemplatively, "But since the people of the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' covet the treasure of the Demon Master, I don't think they will just give up like this, and they will definitely take action."
"The only thing that is certain now is that the treasure of the Demon Master is not here......" Qiu Ruxin followed, "Neither we nor the enemy, no one knows the location of this treasure yet"
"Where the hell will it be, the hiding place of the treasure ......" Liu Duan lowered his head and said forbearantly, "I feel that if this matter is not clarified for a day, it will not stop here in Liusha Town......"
"Brother Liu Duan, don't worry, this matter will always come to light......" Huang Ji comforted the anxious Liu Duan on the side.
Speaking of this, Liu Shuibi, who was silent on the side, seemed to feel something, and couldn't help but tremble.
"Abi, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Liu Shuibi's strange appearance, Liu Duan continued to ask with concern on the side.
"I ...... It's okay......" Liu Shuibi replied, but her body couldn't stop trembling.
Xiao Tian threw a puzzled look at Liu Shuibi, remembering what he had said to Su Jia before, Xiao Tian couldn't calm down in his heart......
(in recall)......
"Sister Ying told me everything today...... Su Jia simply mentioned, "She said that the purpose of Brother Huang Ji's visit to Liusha Town this time is to investigate the matter of your master's treasure......
"I know I know, when I was drinking outside, Brother Huang Ji also told me......" Xiao Tianyi sat on the bed, stroked his dizzy head and said, "Before my master died, there was a treasure of mechanical arts hidden in Liusha Town, but this treasure is now being coveted by unknown people, so there is a lot of trouble......
"Brother Huang Ji also told you?" Su Jia couldn't help but ask when he saw Xiao Tian coming with his mouth open.
"Yes, it's all ......said," Xiao Tian continued to reply, "Not only Brother Huang Ji, but also Brother Liu Duan, we analyzed for a while, when Lu Huan came to Liusha Town three years ago, it was not to meet the Liu Jinquan brothers and sisters, but to meet my master and talk about treasures......
"Then what else did Brother Huang Ji say to you?" Hearing this, Su Jia continued to ask.
"He said that the only clue at present is that in addition to my master and Lu Huan, there are people close to Lu Huan who know this secret......" Xiao Tian was almost lying on the bed, and said in a confused voice, "After many conjectures, the one who is most likely to know this secret is the Liu Jinquan brother and sister......"
"You think so too?...... Su Jia seemed to think of going with Xiao Tian, so she couldn't help but mention, "No wonder when I said this just now, I felt that Shui Mei looked weird, so it is really possible for her and her brother to know about this......"
"Whether you know it or not, let's not ask directly for ......the time being," Xiao Tian continued.
"Why?" asked Su Jia again.
Xiao Tian continued to reply: "Brother Liu Duan said that now Shui Mei has not recovered from the pain of three years ago, and if she mentions this matter again, I am afraid that Shui Mei will be even more sad...... Besides, we don't necessarily have to start with Liu Jinquan and his brother and sister, we can investigate it ourselves."
"How do you investigate?" Su Jia continued.
"Today, Brother Liu Duan and I speculate whether it could be done by the remnants of the Zhuyi faction who have been harassing Liusha Town for the past three years......" Xiao Tian continued, "Brother Liu Duan said that behind them, there may be forces manipulating them and instructing them to do certain things to achieve ulterior motives...... If you connect these two things, maybe that's the crux of the matter."
Speaking of this, Xiao Tian also woke up a little drunk, and he became more serious when he spoke......
(In reality)......
"Shui Mei is the most likely person to know this secret, after all, three years ago, as a member of the Goshawk Sect, she had some intersections with the people of the Vermilion Wing Sect......" Xiao Tian stared at Liu Shuibi, and said secretly in his heart, "Although Brother Liu Duan asked me not to ask more, but the matter has come to this point, if Shui Mei really knows everything about the matter, why not tell the truth as soon as possible......" Thinking of this, Xiao Tian's heart moved faintly......
"If you don't feel well, go back to the 'Spring Building' to rest first, Abi ......" Liu Duan took care of Liu Shuibi and continued to ask.
Liu Shuibi didn't answer, as if there was a knot in her heart, and her body still couldn't stop shaking.
"Anyway, there are no other clues to investigate here, and we should go back to the 'Spring Building'......" Huang Jigang wanted to get up and said, but found that Su Jia was not beside everyone, and couldn't help asking, "Strange, Miss Su, why isn't she with you?"
As soon as Su Jia was mentioned, everyone remembered Su Jia's disappearance, Xiao Tian lowered his head on the side, and said silently worried: "Jia'er, she ...... Jia'er, she's missing......"
"What?!" Huang Ji heard this, and asked in surprise, "Haven't you been together all the time, a big living person, how could you disappear for no reason?"
"We originally walked in the direction of the 'Women's Temple', but halfway through, Sister Su said she wanted to buy some food for us, and then she never came back......," Qiu Ruxin said.
"When we went back to check, we found out that there was some accident there, and I wondered if Miss Su was involved in some incident, and I didn't have time to tell our ......" Liu Duan continued, "We guess it may be related to the treasure of the demon master, and we can't find Miss Su for a while, so we want to find Brother Huang Ji and Miss Fang who are investigating this matter first, maybe you can learn something......"
"But here, except for the people who accidentally discovered the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan', we haven't investigated the ......reason at all," Huang Ji shook his head and said.
"It's my master's treasure again, everything is because of it" Xiao Tian was suddenly excited on the side, and waved his fist to vent his anger, "My master has already been buried, why don't you let his soul rest in peace, and there are so many people tossing my master's relics in every possible way, making so many troubles?!" Obviously, Xiao Tian felt extremely angry and helpless about his master's unpeaceful death.
"Brother Xiao, calm down first, there is always a solution to everything......" Liu Duan stepped forward to comfort Xiao Tiandao, "Don't worry, we will always investigate this matter to the bottom and give your master justice!"
"Yes, Brother Xiao......" Huang Ji also comforted on the side, "Think about it, you and Miss Su have even experienced life and death in the war, will you still be concerned?" calm down, we are all by your side, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome......"
"Master...... Jia'er ...... Hmm......" Xiao Tian clenched his fists tightly to show the pain in his heart......
And Ma Lingfeng followed behind everyone without speaking, when everyone was chatting to comfort Xiao Tian's mood, Ma Lingfeng glanced at the tomb of the demon master alone, and said silently in his heart: "Dad, I will definitely find it......"
No one knows what Ma Lingfeng is thinking in his heart......
After cleaning up the tomb of the demon master, the group returned to the "Spring Building" first, Fang Ying was healing Huang Ji's injuries, while the others continued to talk about the treasure of the demon master. And Su Jia's disappearance, Xiao Tian and the others did not tell Lin Yufei for the time being, and even when they came back to the inn Lin Yufei, they didn't know, mainly because they didn't want Lin Yufei to worry, Xiao Tian and the others temporarily suppressed this matter......
"In short, don't tell my mother-in-law about Jia'er's disappearance for ......the time being," Xiao Tian said silently, "Everything is suspicious now, if I worry about my mother-in-law at this time, I'm afraid the scene will be even more difficult to control......
"Don't worry, we know this," Qiu Ruxin nodded and said.
"Brother Huang Ji, does it still hurt?" Fang Ying was on the side, and after using the "Cold Spirit Divine Skill" to alleviate Huang Ji's internal injuries, he patiently rubbed the medicine for the wound on Huang Ji's shoulder, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"Thank you, Ying'er, I'm fine, it's just a simple knife wound......" Huang Ji said with a smile.
"It seems that these people of the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' are not simple...... Qiu Ruxin looked at the wound on Huang Ji's shoulder, and couldn't help but say, "Even a person with strong martial arts like Brother Huang Ji can't help but suffer......
"Hmph, those guys from the 'Nine Tombs and One Clan' have destroyed my master's tomb, I will definitely not let them go" Xiao Tian silently swore in his heart that he must make the people of the "Nine Tombs and One Clan" pay the price.
"Having said that, now that all the clues have been broken again, how can we continue to investigate the treasure of the demon master?" Liu Duan mentioned on the side, "Although this may be disrespectful to the souls of our predecessors, we are always passive compared to the enemy, if we don't understand the truth of the matter, all this farce will not stop, and it will even affect the law and order ...... of Liusha Town."
"There's no way, now the guys from the 'Nine Tombs Clan' are also missing, and the only clue is broken......" After Fang Ying applied the medicine for Huang Ji, Huang Ji put on his clothes again and said calmly, "If you want to know the truth, you can only wait for their next action, although this is still in a passive ......"
"Actually, we may not have taken the initiative to ......" Xiao Tian seemed to endure for a long time, and finally spoke, "If any of us know the secret of this matter, wouldn't it be better to bring it up as soon as possible?......" As he spoke, Xiao Tian looked in the direction of Liu Shuibi.
Liu Shuibi knew that Xiao Tian was doubting herself, and suddenly her whole body trembled, as if she was afraid of something, and the whole person looked completely uncomfortable.
"Abi, you...... What's wrong?......" Liu Duan asked first, and suddenly remembered what he talked about before, and couldn't help but say, "By the way, I remembered, Brother Xiao said, Abi, you ...... You may have known before, about ...... This aspect ......" Liu Duan was a little slurred when he spoke, after all, he deliberately didn't want Liu Shuibi to be hurt again.
"Since you know the reason for this matter, why don't you tell us?" Xiao Tian also put his courage on this side, looked directly at Liu Shuibi and said, "Your master should have told you three years ago, the secret about my master's treasure......"
"I don't want to know...... I don't want to know...... Ah" Liu Shuibi screamed in pain as if she had touched on a sensitive issue, and her mind wanted to explode.
"Abi Abi!" Liu Duan looked at Liu Shuibi's uncomfortable appearance, shouted desperately, and then said to Xiao Tian again, "Brother Xiao, I beg you, don't torture Abi anymore"
"But this matter has been concealed, isn't it uncomfortable for Shui Mei herself......" Xiao Tian continued, "Why don't you tell this matter and get rid of it as soon as possible? Don't forget, because this matter, not only us, but also the people of Liusha Town have been affected, do you still want to become the object of spurning by the people of Liusha Town like you did three years ago?"
"I don't want to...... I don't want to...... I don't want to go on like this...... Woo woo......" Liu Shuibi said while crying, "I don't want to hide this secret anymore, I don't want to be a sinner like before......"
"Abi, what's wrong with you?......" Liu Duan's heart softened when he saw this, he didn't want Xiao Tian to say bluntly that he wanted to find out the reason for the matter.
At the critical moment, Qiu Ruxin walked to Liu Shuibi's side, patted Liu Shuibi's shoulder gently, and said gently: "It's okay Sister Liu, if you have something to tell your sister, even if this is an unspeakable thing, everyone won't blame your ......"
Hearing Qiu Ruxin's words, Liu Shuibi stopped crying, as if she had figured out something, and her expression became much more indifferent.
Xiao Tian paused, as if he felt that what he said was too much, and after being silent for a few moments, he whispered to Liu Shuibi again: "I'm sorry Sister Shui, the tone of what you said just now was a little heavier, which may make you a little scared...... But don't worry, Jia'er and I have already let go of what happened three years ago, you really don't need to be afraid of anything, no matter what the truth of the matter is, Jia'er and I won't blame you...... You are now our friend and our sister, and we will no longer blame you for whatever has happened to us......"
"You really ...... You won't blame me......" Liu Shuibi said with tears in her eyes, looking at Xiao Tian with pleading eyes, looking very weak and helpless.
"Well, Jia'er and I don't blame you anymore, after all, it's all in the past......" Xiao Tian continued to say with gentle eyes, "Believe me, not only me and Jia'er, but also Brother Huang Ji, Brother Liu Duan, and Miss Qiu, we will all help you"
"Thank you...... Thank you......" Liu Shuibi tried to hold back her tears, as if the knot in her heart had been untied.
"Abi ......" watched Liu Shuibi return to normal, and Liu Duan also smiled slowly on the side...... 2k reading web
