Ouyang Yan said: "Whether the formation maze is clever or not is not how dangerous it is, how vicious it is, but whether anyone can crack it, if someone cracks it, it is worthless." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Zheng Shouwei said: "What the sect leader said is extremely true. ā
Ouyang Yan said: "Let's go." ā
The three of them walked into the cave, and in front of them was a dark and dreary road, Zheng Shouwei lit a torch, and led the way with his right hand. After walking the road, there were two forks in front of him, Zheng Shouwei did not move forward to the fork, only gently pressed on the wall on the side, Huo's sound, the stone wall between the two forks slowly moved to the fork entrance, and the two forks were sealed for a while, but a large avenue was opened in the fork.
The three of them continued to walk forward for a while, and suddenly saw a faint golden light in front of them, and after walking dozens of steps, the golden light became even more dazzling. The three of them turned to the right, and they couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands in unison to block out the dazzling light.
The eyes are full of dozens of boxes of rare treasures, countless red deer skins, seses, red furrows, amber, white jade, diamonds, pearls, agate, gold and silver utensils, silver pots and jade cups, gems and antiques, jade jewelry, and countless infamous treasures, piled up in the tribute box, making people dare not force to look.
Zheng Shouwei said: "This is this year's tribute." ā
Gu Yuecong was stunned, Zheng Shouwei said: "The so-called Putianxia, is not the king's land, the holy Jiangshan is east of the sea, can take the treasures under the sea, the south is anointed, it is the granary, there is a grassland in the north, it is the source of horses and livestock, only the northwest desert is a piece, there is nothing to come out, and the people can only pay tribute to the emperor with rare treasures." He picked up a piece of jade pendant and said, "Look, this jade pendant is clearly an ancestral thing." He picked up another string of beads and said, "This Beihai pearl must have been bought by the government to collect the people's fat and ointment, and save money to buy it from other places." ā
Gu Yuecong said: "These things have made the people suffer deeply, and now they have also become the source of disaster for the country. ā
Zheng Shouwei said: "It's not that the saint doesn't want to take the meager endowment lightly, all these traitors in the DPRK and China are pointing fingers and filling their own pockets, so that the moon worship tribute is collected every year, and it becomes more and more burdensome year by year. ā
Ouyang Yan said, "Cong'er, what is your purpose here?"
Gu Yuecong said: "Free up an empty box and come out." ā
The three of them carefully moved the treasures to the ground one by one, and Gu Yuecong turned the box on its side, and carefully examined it left and right.
The tribute box is divided into three parts: the box body, the bottom of the box and the box cover, all of which are made of refined steel. The body of the box is a square steel drum about three feet thick and hollowed out from it. The bottom of the box is embedded in the body of the box, and is nailed by steel nails the size of a little finger, and the upper lid is the same, but the upper cover can only be sealed with steel nails after the "tribute inspection". In addition, the tribute chest is surrounded by earrings with thick arms, which can be picked and lifted. The box is printed on all sides with the words "Worship the Moon and Pay Tribute".
Gu Yue Cong said happily: "Great, you see, the bottom cover of this tribute box is embedded in the body of the box. ā
Zheng Shouwei was confused when he heard this, and said: "Brother Gu, we are discussing how to transport the moon worship tribute to the Bloodthirsty Valley, what is the purpose of you looking at the secret road and the tribute box for a while?"
Gu Yuecong got up and said word by word: "Since we can't think of a perfect way to worship the moon tribute from Tongtianfu to Bloodthirsty Valley, why don't we exchange tribute in Tongtianfu?"
Ouyang Yan moved slightly, and Zheng Shouwei was even more shocked, and asked, "In the house?"
Gu Yuecong said: "It's in the house, and it's in full view." ā
Zheng Shouwei didn't seem to believe his ears, he fixed his mind, and said: "Brother Gu, the sect leader told me last night that he has imprisoned more than 200 of the most famous craftsmen in the sea in the bloodthirsty valley, and as soon as the moon worship arrives in the valley, he can make exactly the same tribute box overnight.
Gu Yue Cong said: "Who said there is no secret way?"
Zheng Shouwei was stunned for a moment and said, "You said the secret way?"
Gu Yue Cong said: "Yes, I have seen it, although the secret passage is not open, it is not difficult to hide dozens of boxes of tributes......
Zheng Shouwei interrupted: "The difficult thing is to do something under the eyes of Qunhao. ā
Gu Yuecong said: "Although the secret passage in the east is an abnormally hard seed jade, the school field is very humid near the east gate, so it can be seen that this place is not far from the ground. Speaking of this, he squatted down, pointed to the bottom of the tribute box, and said, "If we dig a hole from the school yard to the secret passage, the size of this hole is just enough for the people in the secret passage to remove the bottom cover of the chest, and the box does not fall, we will be able to secretly exchange the moon tribute in full view of everyone." ā
Zheng Shouwei's eyes widened, and after a while, he said, "You mean, let people hide in the secret passage and take the opportunity to steal it while worshipping the moon tribute and packing it?"
Gu Yuecong said: "Not bad. ā
Zheng Shouwei frowned and said: "That's not good, a bottomless tribute box, how to hold tribute?"
Gu Yuecong said: "You just said that after the moon worship is loaded into the tribute box, it is necessary to nail the cover with steel nails, we only need to use the same method to replace the moon worship with a messy stone, and then nail the bottom cover with steel nails." ā
Ouyang Yan was silent, Zheng Shouwei looked at the tribute box blankly, and always felt that this matter was very unsafe, and after a while, he paced back and forth around the dart box twice, and said: "The moon tribute is not trivial, when the craftsman casts this tribute box, in order to prevent someone from opening it without permission, all the steel nails do not even have nail caps, you see, it is not easy to separate the bottom cover from the body of the box." ā
Gu Yue Cong said: "This is going to have the brothers of Laotong Tianfu, after removing the bottom cover, you only need to nail it with a wooden tenon, so that it can be removed as soon as possible when packing." ā
Zheng Shouwei pursed his lips and said, "Wait, let me think about it, let me think about it." While pacing, he said to himself: "We first put the tribute box on the hole that has been dug in advance, and then put the tribute into the box under the noses of everyone, close the lid of the box, and wait for the people in the secret passage to take out the tribute, stuff it with stones, and then seal the steel nails up and down at the same time." The fine work of the Cangxia faction saw us loading the tribute and closing the lid, and they never dreamed that the tribute box had turned into stone at this time. ā
Ouyang Yan said suddenly: "Although this method is a bit clumsy, it has two advantages. One is that no one would have thought that we would do anything when we were loading the tribute, and the second is that even if someone finds out, we can also push the matter on Lord Zheng and then reload the tribute and get on the car. ā
Zheng Shouwei nodded and said, "Yes, if this thing is done well or not, there is still room for maneuver." ā
Ouyang Yan said: "It seems that the matter of wronging Shaolin is going to be early." ā
Zheng Shouwei said: "It's not too early, I will send people here immediately, let them stay here overnight to disassemble, and tomorrow morning the tribute box can be fully restructured, and tomorrow at noon, we can send someone to load the tribute on the car." ā
Gu Yuecong leaned down, measured the length and width of the tribute box, as well as the length and width of the bottom cover, and got up and said, "Let's go out." ā
