Chapter 52: Jade Pendant
"Not counting the first three days of our arrival, we have been looking for a total of five days, but there is still no progress at all. ”
Zhang Han used a wooden stick to stir the fire in front of him, looking bored.
Mu Yun sat beside Zhang Han, holding her chin in her right hand, looking at the sparks that were beating from time to time in front of her, and said, "If you don't forget it, maybe that spiritual technique was found by the Li family first, and maybe it has been taken away." ”
"It's not impossible, otherwise we wouldn't have found any clues after looking for so long. Tianlu yawned and said lazily.
Zhang Han asked Mu Yun thoughtfully: "Yun'er, you should recall well, did any of the words your second uncle said to you before his death have anything related to that spiritual art, or did he have any abnormal behavior during his lifetime." ”
"It seems that the second uncle told me that our Mu family was destroyed because of the remnants of a treasure, and I haven't heard the second uncle say it anymore. ”
After listening to Mu Yun's words, Zhang Han thought about it for a while, but he didn't think of any connection between the treasure remnant map that Mu Yun said and the ground-level spiritual arts.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Zhang Han noticed a jade pendant hanging from Mu Yun's waist, which Mu Yun took from her second uncle's bones that day, in order to keep it as a souvenir, so Mu Yun took this jade pendant with him.
"Yun'er, show me this jade pendant. Zhang Han pointed to the jade pendant on Mu Yun's waist and said.
Mu Yun took off the jade pendant on her waist and handed it over, Zhang Han took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "Yun'er, is this jade pendant that your second uncle has always worn on his body?"
"It seems to be. As soon as the words fell, Mu Yun seemed to suddenly think of something, and continued: "No, although I was still young at that time, I vaguely remember that before I came to this valley, the second uncle did not have this jade pendant on him. It seems that two years after settling in this valley, the second uncle carved this jade pendant with his own hands. At that time, the second uncle also said......"
When Mu Yun said this, she suddenly lowered her head with a slightly red face.
"What else did your second uncle say?" Tianlu was listening attentively on the side, Mu Yun suddenly stopped again, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Mu Yun secretly glanced at Zhang Han and whispered: "At that time, the second uncle also said that when I have a sweetheart, he will give me this jade pendant as my future wedding gift." ”
Zhang Han's mind was now on this jade pendant, and he didn't notice the meaning of Mu Yun's words at all. However, Tianlu saw Mu Yun peeking at Zhang Han, but it was just snickering on the side, not to break it.
"Come and see. Zhang Han lifted the jade pendant to a distance of about two feet from the fire.
Hearing Zhang Han's call, Mu Yun and Tianlu both leaned over to look at the jade pendant in Zhang Han's hand.
I saw that the original blue and blue jade pendant was slightly reddened under the reflection of the firelight.
"The quality of this piece of jade is good. ”
Zhang Han glanced at Tianlu a little speechlessly, and said: "Who told you to look at the quality of this jade, you see that the lines on this jade don't look like the layout of the twenty or so wooden houses in this valley." ”
Tianlu's eyes widened and he looked at it carefully for a while, and then said with a slight bow: "After you say this, it is really a bit similar, is that spiritual magic really in one of the more than twenty wooden houses?" But we have carefully searched each wooden house, and we have not found anything at all. ”
"We searched the more than 20 wooden houses carefully, and there was really nothing. But there is a place that I haven't looked for yet, you look at the little dot in the middle of this jade pendant. Zhang Han confidently pointed to the tiny spot in the middle of the jade pendant.
Tianlu tilted his neck and looked at the old man for a long time, but he didn't see the reason, and said impatiently: "Isn't this little spot the impurities that this jade pendant itself has? Don't sell it, just say what you find. ”
Mu Yun's eyes lit up and said, "I know, Brother Han is talking about the well in the center of those wooden houses." ”
"Yun'er is still smart, this jade pendant was carved by your second uncle after you came to settle here, it stands to reason that living in this valley, there is no point in deliberately making such a jade pendant. And your second uncle also plans to give you this jade pendant as a wedding gift, which is normal. But if it is combined with the purpose of creating this jade pendant, it is unusual. Not to mention ......"
Halfway through Zhang Han's words, he was snatched up by Tianlu and said, "What's more, the lines on this jade pendant are actually the same as the layout of those wooden houses, which is even more unusual." ”
"Yes, there are all kinds of signs that the key to the problem lies in this jade pendant. The more inconspicuous the place, the more often the truth of the matter is hidden. The spot in the center of this jade pendant is indeed just an ordinary impurity at a cursory glance, but this is also very likely to be the reason why Yun'er's second uncle chose this piece of jade to be carved into a jade pendant. ”
Tianlu had a slight appreciation in his eyes, and exclaimed: "I didn't expect your kid to be quite good." ”
"Well, I also think Brother Han is so smart. Mu Yun looked at Zhang Han like a nymphomaniac, her eyes full of admiration.
"Well, don't praise me, I'll be proud if I keep praising me. Let's all go back and rest, and we'll go down the well early tomorrow morning to find out what is really true. ”
......
Early the next morning, Zhang Han and the others came to the well and looked down.
"The well has dried up, just so it's just right for us to go down. I'll go down and check the situation first, and you'll wait for my signal up there. ”
After speaking, Zhang Han jumped down directly. With the strength of his body, even if he didn't urge Shura's power to protect his body, jumping at this height would be completely fine.
After falling to the bottom of the well, the feeling of being down-to-earth came, and I stomped my foot slightly, and there was a soft feeling.
"The well is not completely depleted, and the soil at the bottom of the well is still a little wet. ”
After that, Zhang Han looked around again, and the space at the bottom of the well was larger than when he looked down from above. The surroundings seem to have been artificially widened, and there is a hole in the side wall of the depths.
The door of the cave was blocked by a boulder of its size, and the crack in the door was sealed with animal skins to prevent the well water from seeping into the door along the crack.
"There is indeed a hole under this well, and it seems that my judgment is correct. With that, Zhang Han shouted to the top: "You all come down." ”
Hearing Zhang Han's shout, Mu Yun and Tianlu both jumped down.
And these movements of theirs are clearly seen by the people hidden on the small peaks.
"It seems that they have found something, and they have all jumped under the well. After waiting for so long, there is finally a result, and I don't know how the head of the family will reward the two of us this time. ”
"It would be nice if we could learn the only earth-level spiritual technique in the clan, although that spiritual technique is not as powerful as the 'Tianqian Holy Body' that the family master learned from the Nalan family, but at least it is also a local-level low-grade spiritual technique. ”
"You think too much, even if the head of the family is willing, that earth-level spiritual art may not agree with the two of us. Let's go, go and inform the head of the family and the two elders. ”
With that, the two of them ran to a cave on the side of the mountain.
