Chapter 43: The Chamber of Secrets
Zhao Xinming climbed up again, lay on the hole and listened for a while, then looked at the stone slab more than two zhang away, performed the "star picking" technique, and moved over. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info came to the bottom of the slate, Zhao Xinming quickly combined his internal strength and punched it, only to hear a "bang", the slate shattered in response, and Zhao Xinming also fell.
At this moment, Li San saw the opportunity to pan over, grabbed Zhao Xinming, and ran up. The two of them stood firm, and when they looked up, it was a secret room, pitch black, and they didn't know how big it was. Li San took out the fire fold, rummaged around for a while, found a rope and threw it down. After a while, everyone climbed up.
Zhao Xinming rested for a moment and walked around the secret room, which was about two zhang long and wide, and there were 7 large boxes stacked around it. Zhao Xinming looked at it for a while, and was about to reach out to open the box, when he heard Li San shouting: "Brother Zhao, slow down." ”
Zhao Xinming was shocked, quickly withdrew his hand, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Li, but there is a problem with these boxes?"
Li San nodded, took a few steps forward, approached the box and looked at it carefully, and explained: "Brother Zhao doesn't know, these boxes where important objects are placed are not only coated with poison on the outside, but also the boxes are double-layered, and there are hidden mechanisms in them, and if you are not careful, you will be hit." While speaking, Li San took out a wire from under his feet, bent it and stuffed it into the keyhole for a while, and opened the box with a "creak".
Zhao Xinming looked over, and there was a pair of inner armor, a pair of fist gloves, some treasures and some valuable medicinal materials in the box. Everyone also came over when they heard the voice, and their eyes lit up when they looked at the contents of the box.
"Brother Zhao, look here. Li San turned a blind eye to the contents of this box, pointed to the box and said, "The wall of this box is at least an inch more, and there must be a mechanism in it." Zhao Xinming took a closer look and admired Li Sanyue.
Li San smiled and opened the remaining six boxes one by one. The seven chests were filled with some divine weapons, various treasures and antiques, and rare medicinal materials, and when they saw these things, everyone spread out a few steps and looked at each other warily. Zhao Xinming looked at many things carefully, but there was not a single piece of paper or letter, and he was quite disappointed.
At this time, the atmosphere in the secret room was extremely delicate, looking at the seven boxes of treasures, a group of 8 people scattered around the secret room, once it was not handled well, it would be a disaster for the eyes.
At this moment, the old man lined up and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to the old man's words. Now the situation is critical, and the slightest carelessness will die here. According to the old man's opinion, it is best for everyone to take what they need and escape from here as soon as possible. ”
Everyone looked at each other, nodded and agreed. The old man looked around, and then said: "Now there is a set of inner armor, a pair of fist gloves, two swords, three swords, a dagger, and a long whip. As soon as the old man's voice fell, five people stood up, and one person was just one by one. In the end, Li San got the dagger, the old man got the inner armor, and Zhao Xinming got the boxing gloves.
I don't know what material this pair of gloves is made of, it is heavy in my hand, and there is a faint hint of warmth. Zhao Xinming was overjoyed, immediately put it on his hand, and tried it with both hands in fists, which was extremely flexible and had no effect.
"Brother Zhao, this is for you. At this moment, Li San handed over the dagger he had been allocated.
Zhao Xinming hurriedly excused himself and said: "Brother Li's kindness is understood, and this must not be done." ”
"Brother Zhao, I, Li San, have never owed favors, but today I have to owe you a favor. This dagger is not bad, you take it, the right is to return your favor. Li San forced the dagger into Zhao Xinming's hand and continued, "When the door of the secret room opens, my brother will take the first step." Brother Zhao be careful, we will have a date later. ”
Zhao Xinming had no choice but to accept the dagger, and under the guidance of Li San, he hid the dagger on the back of his calf, which did not affect his movement and was very convenient to use. At this moment, the old man also walked over with the inner armor in his hand.
"Housheng, you can also take this inner armor. The old man looked at the two of them and handed the inner armor to Zhao Xinming.
Zhao Xinming hurriedly excused himself, and the old man couldn't help but say, stuffed the inner armor, and then said: "Housheng, you listen to me." Although the two of us do not have the name of master and apprentice, we already have the reality of master and apprentice. I've taken two apprentices in my life, and now they're both dead, and I really don't want to see you die here. ”
"Uncle, you don't have to be like this, when the fight starts, I will definitely drag that woman, and when the time comes, my husband will go with them, and there will be no chance of life." Zhao Xinming hurriedly comforted.
"You don't have to convince me, they? I don't count on it. The old man sighed, and then said, "I will have to distribute treasures and medicinal herbs in a while, and it will be a disaster if I don't get it right." But you, if you have the chance, you must escape. ”
Zhao Xinming looked at the old man with an expectant expression, and had to accept the inner armor. Zhao Xinming thought for a while, took out the dagger and stuffed it into the old man's hand and said, "Boss, I now have fist gloves and inner armor, please accept this dagger as a self-defense." The old man excused himself in every possible way, but unfortunately he couldn't stand Zhao Xinming's insistence, so he had to accept it.
After everyone finished dividing their swords, the atmosphere in the secret room became more and more tense, and they looked at each other, but no one spoke. Li San snorted coldly, retreated to the corner, and watched coldly. Zhao Xinming and the old man glanced at each other, shook their heads and retreated. The remaining big men were still standing there, showing no intention of backing down.
After a stalemate for a while, a middle-aged man said in a sullen voice: "Everyone, there are a total of 7 boxes here, why don't we each get a box, and leave the remaining two boxes for them, don't hurt the harmony, what do you think?"
The remaining four nodded, and they all agreed. Unexpectedly, Li San sneered and said, "Hehe, you are really calculating, why do you each have one box, but the three of us have two boxes?"
The middle-aged man's face changed and he was about to speak, Tian Qi suddenly shouted: "Li San, this box of things is at least two hundred catties, the old man must not be able to carry it, and the little brother is going to stay against the enemy, let's take the things out first, and then distribute them to them is the same, don't you say?"
Everyone nodded, Li San looked at Zhao Xinming and the old man, and snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, I won't say more." I have a request, though, that we have to get the three of us to choose out two boxes first. ”
The five of them glanced at each other, nodded and agreed. Li San was not polite, and immediately walked over and walked around in front of these seven boxes. These seven boxes, some treasures and antiques, some precious medicinal materials, calculate the value, it is actually almost the same. Li San looked at it for a while, picked two boxes at random, and the five of them glanced at it from a distance, and they had no objections. Soon, the other five chests were also divided.
"Brother Zhao, come and have a look. Li San beckoned and signaled.
Zhao Xinming glanced at the old man, and the old man shook his head and said, "Hou Sheng, you go, those things don't mean anything to me anymore." Zhao Xinming nodded and walked over.
Li San poured out 6 antiques from the two boxes, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, these 6 antiques should be the most valuable in them, you can pick a few at will." ”
Zhao Xinming glanced at it, a jade pendant, three calligraphy and paintings, and two pieces of porcelain. Zhao Xinming looked at the three calligraphy and paintings, all of which were authentic works of famous artists, if they could be taken out, they would not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives. Zhao Xinming shook his head and put down the calligraphy and painting, picked up the porcelain and looked at it, put it down again, and finally picked up the jade pendant.
This jade pendant is very ordinary, and the carving is a simple big green mountain. But for some reason, Zhao Xinming couldn't help but think of the Qinglian Sword Sect at a glance. After looking at it for a while, Zhao Xinming said softly: "Brother Li, will you give me this jade pendant?"
"Take it. Li San nodded, and then asked, "Do you want anything else?"
Zhao Xinming shook his head and retreated with the jade pendant. At this moment, there was a small sound outside the secret room, and everyone was startled, and they all put down the treasure in their hands and looked up.
