"Uncle Zi, Master Xiucai is back!" Before they arrived at the door, the four dogs barked, almost immediately, the door creaked open, Zijian stood at the door, and the opposite door also creaked open, and the small stone had rushed out, circling around the snow like a happy puppy. The aunt stood at the door, looking worried.

"Dad, I'm hungry. Zi Baifeng turned over from the donkey, "Is there anything delicious at home?"

"Yes, yes!" Zijian's face squeezed out a smile, "Today the pillar sent a hare, which is being stewed in the pot, you can also join the four dogs, let's have a drink." ”

Seeing what Zi Baifeng wanted to say, Zijian made a blank face: "Baifeng, you are not allowed to drink!"

"How is this good...... "The four dogs were cramped and happy, and they didn't know how to do it.

Although it was said to be drinking, Zijian had a mind, and the four dogs didn't dare to drink more, the two touched two glasses and sent the four dogs away, Zijian's face was pulled down, and said, "You-"

As soon as you said the word, there was a knock on the door outside, Zi Baifeng stepped forward to open the door, and saw a little guy standing timidly outside the door.

He reached out and touched Xiao Tuozi's smooth head, and said, "Xiao Tuozi, why did you come here so late?"

"Sir. Xiao Tuozi glanced at Zi Baifeng timidly, handed over a basket, and said, "My father asked me to send you some mushrooms, my father just picked ...... from the mountains today."

"Send me mushrooms?" Zi Baifeng's heart warmed, as if he was jammed by something, and suddenly he couldn't say anything.

After a while, he said, "Thank you, little lump, come in, come in." Zijian said kind words while taking something and filling it with mushrooms, and the villagers gave each other some delicious things, which was nothing and did not need to be hypocritical. Zi Baifeng went into the house and took some small pastries bought from Mengcheng - this was originally a gift for Mr. , but it was returned - and stuffed them into Xiao Tuozi's arms, looking at Xiao Tuozi's smiling appearance, Zi Baifeng suddenly felt that everything he had done was really worth it.

"Dad, I'll send the little lump back. Zi Baifeng took Xiao Tuozi's hand, now that the night is dark, Zi Baifeng is not at ease.

"No...... Don't ......" Xiao Tuozi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Zi Baifeng's hand and left, walking on the road, Xiao Tuozi looked up at Zi Baifeng, under the night, the hazy figure couldn't see clearly, the lights near and far were so dim, I could only see Zi Baifeng's hazy side face, looking at the angle of Xiao Tuozi, Zi Baifeng was so tall.

Sent Xiao Tuozi to the door of the house, the door was hidden, Xiao Tuozi pushed the door open, but turned back and said, "Sir!"

"What's wrong? I've got class tomorrow, don't be late. ”

"Sir, I want to be a village masa when I grow up. Xiao Tuzi stood up straight and said seriously.

Zi Baifeng smiled, but he didn't know what to say, he just reached out and touched Xiao Tuozi's head, and said: "What is the village right, Xiao Tuozi, you have to be a big official, a prince, and a guard, then it is called majestic."

"I don't want to be prestigious, I want to be like my husband. In the darkness, Xiao Tuozi's eyes reflected the starlight, and that look was like Zi Baifeng's eyes looking at Mr., trusting and admiring.

"You have to study hard. Zi Baifeng squatted down and rubbed Xiao Tuozi's head vigorously, "Grow up quickly and become brave." ”

"Yes, sir!" the little nugget nodded earnestly, as if he would grow up quickly.

"Go ahead, I'll go back too. Zi Baifeng watched Xiao Tuzi close the door, and then turned around and walked away.

His heart was warm, and it seemed that endless courage poured out.

"Bai Feng. When he walked near the ancestral hall, Zi Baifeng heard Yan Lao Wu's voice.

"Old man, why are you here?" scare me!" Zi Baifeng patted his chest.

"I went to your house just now, and your father said that you were going to deliver Xiaotuozi, so I am waiting for you here. Yan Lao Wudao, his voice was a little hoarse, "Bai Feng, come here." ”

Zi Baifeng followed in a daze, the old man had to lead himself into the dark...... Phew!

Yan Lao Wu pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, and then walked into the hall, the statue of the god in the hall is still majestic, Yan Lao Wu lit a stick of incense, bowed to the stone statue of the ancestors, and waited quietly for a while, then stepped forward to remove the arch in front of the stone statue, and then he knelt down, and actually opened a secret door underground.

Murder in the secret room? Zi Baifeng's head echoed such words.

"Come in. Waiting for the stale atmosphere inside to run away, Yan Lao Wu walked in with the candle on the offering table, and Zi Baifeng hurriedly followed.

"Bai Feng, I didn't want to bring you here. Yan Lao Wu sighed, "This is the biggest secret of our Xia Yan Village, there is no one in any account, it is only passed down from generation to generation in our elders." ”

"You are not a descendant of our Yan family, but if you tell you this, my ancestors must not blame me. Yan Lao Wu walked in, it was a small basement, and there was only one box in the basement.

When Zi Baifeng entered the basement, he felt that the aura was steaming, and when he looked at it, he was even more startled.

The aura on the box was overflowing, and the aura was rising gently like green smoke, Zi Baifeng looked up, and it should be the platform behind the table, the platform where the stone statue of the ancestor was placed, and these smoke-like aura were obviously absorbed or suppressed by the stone statue.

It is no wonder that the ancestral statue of Xiayan Village is completely made of stone, not clay, the stone is not easy to damage, and it is also heavy and difficult to move, which will reduce the number of times others touch this stone statue, and reduce the probability of others discovering this place.

Without opening the box, Zi Baifeng was able to guess what was inside.

Yan Lao Wu still opened the box, and the box was covered with thick animal skins, separating the contents layer by layer.

Jade, dense jade.

"Our ancestors once warned us that the jade is exhausted, and the living are endless. Be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared, and be prepared. These words came out of Yan Lao Wu's mouth, and Zi Baifeng rarely felt disobedient, because this is the original words in the "Jade Classic", which was compiled by the ancestors of the Yan family, teaching future generations the skills of finding jade and recording the warnings of the ancestors.

"And as the elders of the clan, we have to put a part of the jade we find into this box every year, at most three or five, at least one or two, even after these years, I have taken the jade saved in the early years and put it here. ”

Zi Baifeng vaguely remembered that when he saw the old man a few times, the old man was here in the ancestral shrine, and he thought that the old man was nostalgic and commemorating his ancestors, but now it seems that this is not the case. The air here is stuffy, but it's not stale, and the surroundings are fairly clean, so it's clear that people often come to clean it.

"Now there are five hundred and seven jade stones in this box, and seventy-five of them are what I put in. The old man gently stroked the box, as if he was stroking his own child, affectionate and affectionate, this is the secret he has always guarded, the meaning of his existence, and the duty he adheres to.

And now, he has put all this in front of Zi Baifeng and asked him to make a choice.

Seeing Zi Baifeng's embarrassed appearance, the old man smiled, reached out and patted Zi Baifeng's shoulder, and said, "What do you want? I'm not old, I just want to tell you, don't risk your life for these things, you have a bright future, it's not worth it for these things outside your body, it's not worth it...... The matter of our Xia Yan Village has no reason to bear on you. ”

But I'm Muramasa.

Zi Baifeng said in his heart.

"Don't worry, even if they die, I won't let them succeed so easily, these jade stones in our Xiayan Village have never really been used, this is the last bit of inheritance left by our ancestors to future generations, I will definitely not do anything sorry for my ancestors." Yan Lao Wu waved his fist.

You just said that it's not worth the risk for this little thing, what is the reason why you will die and live again?

Leaving the cellar with Yan Lao Wu and carefully covering it up, Zi Baifeng only felt that his heart was heavy, as if the heavy jade was not in the box, but in his heart.

"Get a good night's sleep, and come with me tomorrow morning to the mountains to find jade, boy!" Yan Lao Wu patted Zi Baifeng on the shoulder.

"I'd like to go, but tomorrow I'm going to give a lecture, and I haven't been there for a few days, and these torturers are waiting impatiently. ”

Hearing Zi Baifeng say this, Yan Lao Wu laughed and said, "That's right, I'll inform you in addition, we have already repaired two of the huts looking for jade in the mountains, and we won't come back tomorrow night, stay in the mountains for one night and see if we can find more jade." ”

"Old man, ...... about this post station," Zi Baifeng asked with a grin.

"Go back to sleep. The old man immediately turned and went.

Zi Baifeng smiled, put his hands behind his back, and went back to his home.

Although he was not able to convince him, there were still many things that Zi Baifeng could do within the three-month period. Since the last tax incident, Zi Baifeng has been a little slack, but at this moment, he has become more and more motivated.

Three months, ninety days, even under normal conditions, two or three pieces of jade are found every day, which is enough to pay the jade tax.

Luo Qianshan asked Zi Baifeng not to think so much, just take care of the things he should take care of, if it was just Xiayan Village, then he really didn't have to worry about paying jade tax.

But there are two points, Zi Baifeng is very unhappy.

Why do you have to pay the jade tax? And after paying the jade tax, it is used by them to build the Spirit Gathering Array, and the Spirit Gathering Array wants to plunder the aura of heaven and earth, and even the aura of Xia Yan Village, causing the jade to become less and less.

You don't say that you rely on one of your swords, then I will also refine a sword, a peerless demon sword!

Let's see if your fairy sword is powerful, or my demon sword is powerful!

Although the fairy sword is powerful, it is just a rocket launcher, and the big deal is that it is fired in bursts, what's the big deal?
