Chapter Ninety-Four: Windfall
Ye Cheng was noncommittal, because even he didn't know what the purpose of the person digging the pit was, but he vaguely felt that he must be looking for something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At that moment, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing had to be more cautious and walk slowly, the cold and humid atmosphere in the cave made them feel that they were about to suffocate, if it weren't for Liu Huai'e when she blew up the entrance of the cave, some air was sent into the cracks of many stones, and Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing would have been unable to breathe at this time.
Zhong Qing followed behind, the "coward" in his heart began to make trouble again, and his breath couldn't help but be a little short, Ye Cheng felt that the soft hand he was holding was constantly oozing sweat, knowing that Zhong Qing was very nervous now, he immediately shook it hard, turned around and smiled: "Qing'er, don't be afraid, I have a hunch, we will definitely find a way out." ”
Zhong Qing said: "I also have a hunch that in less than an hour, I will be suffocated to death." ”
Ye Chenggang wanted to reply, but suddenly he seemed to hear something, and then put his index finger between his lips and made a breathing motion, but after doing this action, he felt funny, it turned out that in this darkness, how could Zhong Qing see his gestures clearly.
"Brother Ye, why don't you speak? Could it be that the coward who lives in my heart has come to you?" Zhong Qing said with a smile.
Ye Cheng still didn't speak, this time he put his hand on Zhong Qing's lips, Zhong Qing understood, and immediately stopped his voice.
After a while, Ye Cheng heard something, and Zhong Qing was no exception.
"Did you hear that, Qing'er?" Ye Cheng asked in a low voice.
"I heard it, it's the sound of water!" Zhong Qing said in surprise.
Ye Cheng couldn't hide his excitement at this time, and felt that his heart was about to jump out: "It's the sound of water, it must not be wrong, since there is the sound of water, there must be a way, as long as we find the location of the sound of water, maybe we can find a way out." ”
At this moment, a rapid wind suddenly blew over and blew on Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing clapped his hands and said, "It's the wind, Brother Ye, there is not only the sound of water, but also the sound of the wind." Isn't it often said that the wind comes from nothing, since there can be wind coming in, it means that there must be a passage here!"
Ye Cheng followed the sound and walked forward cautiously, only to hear the sound of water gradually becoming clear, not flowing from the left and right sides of the stone wall and the ground, but from above the heads of the two of them.
"Qing'er, listen carefully, the sound of water seems to be coming from our heads!" Ye Cheng said.
"Could it be that we are under the current now?" Zhong Qing was very surprised.
Ye Cheng immediately let go of Zhong Qing's hand, signaled her not to move around, and raised her breath and concentrated by herself, climbing along the stone wall, but she felt that the stone wall was cold and very slippery, obviously caused by being soaked by water vapor all year round.
"Brother Ye, have you seen anything?" Zhong Qing looked up at Ye Cheng who had climbed to the top below, but because the cave was too dark, he could basically only judge Ye Cheng's position by feeling.
Ye Cheng stepped on the two protruding rocks with both feet, climbed the stone wall with his left hand, drew the Yuehua Sword with his right hand, and tentatively slashed at the top of the Fengming Cave.
A good Yuehua sword, although it can't be compared with the peerless swordfish intestine sword, but it is enough to become a sharpening iron and breaking gold like mud, only to see the place where the sword blade is drawn, the top stone wall makes a pleasant sound, and the stone powder flutters down. Ye Cheng slashed along the stone wall with the sword in his hand, and finally found the gap between the stone walls, so he raised the sword and stabbed it into the gap.
Although the gap between the stone and the stone in the middle of the stone wall is very narrow, but Ye Cheng urged the mixed yuan true qi, and the Yuehua sword was extremely sharp, and it was inserted deeper and deeper in this gap, Ye Cheng only felt that the resistance was very great at first, but after several three attempts, he suddenly felt that the resistance disappeared, and the sword was directly embedded in the gap, and the sword god was completely caught in it, and there was no sword hilt.
"Yes! It must be here!" Ye Cheng knew that the reason for the sudden dissipation of the resistance must have been the sword piercing the ground, so he hurriedly pulled the sword back hard, only to see that the stone wall pierced by the sword saw an extremely subtle light projected down, but it was this extremely subtle light, for Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing who were in the Jedi, it was no different from a long drought and a rainy day.
"Brother Ye, there is light, there is light! I didn't expect the top of this stone wall to be so thin, now we can be saved!" Zhong Qing clapped his hands below and laughed.
Ye Cheng was also secretly glad in his heart, and said in his heart that fortunately, the stone wall that Huajian passed through this month was not directly below the water flow, otherwise the water seeped into the cave after the stone wall was pierced, and the entrance of the cave was blocked, and he, Zhong Qing and Li Xuanji and the children would be drowned alive in the hole.
Immediately, Ye Cheng used his sword to test a few more places, and the gap became larger and larger, and the light seemed to be squeezed into a piece of paper by the stone wall, penetrating in and shining on the ground in the cave.
At this time, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing saw clearly, and saw that there were uneven potholes under their feet, some deep and some shallow, and so on.
"Brother Ye, looking at the appearance of these holes, they are not naturally formed, someone must have done it on purpose. Zhong Qing analyzed.
"Qing'er is right, I guess so, someone must have come here to find something, but they dug many places but never found it. Ye Chengdao.
"Brother Ye, if you try it again with your Yuehua Sword, maybe you can make a big hole above this stone wall, so that we can all climb it." Zhong Qing said.
Ye Cheng smiled bitterly and said, although the Yuehua Sword is sharp, it is not gunpowder, how can it completely cut the stone wall. But since Zhong Qing said so, he had to reluctantly try a few times, he never thought that the stone wall was smooth and wet, Ye Cheng stabbed it with a sword, the blade of the sword slipped, and he rubbed along the stone wall, almost shaking Ye Cheng down.
"Brother Ye, look, what's that?" As soon as Ye Cheng stabilized his figure, he heard Zhong Qing below exclaim loudly.
Ye Cheng hurriedly looked up in the direction of Zhong Qing's finger, and at this time, he looked through the light, only to see that the stone wall that had been accidentally scratched just now actually showed a yellow and clear scratch! He was also unknown for a while, so he slowly slashed across the stone wall with his sword, only to see that the surface of the stone wall fell off one after another, revealing yellow again, shining in the sunlight shining through the stone wall.
"It's gold!" Ye Cheng finally couldn't help but exclaim this time.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng quickly slashed through the rest of the stone wall with his sword, only to see that the stone wall on the top of the cave was exposed with a huge piece of gold.
"I understand, the reason why there are so many big pits under our feet is because someone came here to look for the golden treasure!" Zhong Qing suddenly realized.
"It seems that there is nothing wrong, but these people only thought that the two sides of the stone wall and under the ground were the most likely places to bury gold, but they did not expect that the person who buried the gold back then actually put the gold in the stone wall on the top of the cave! Ye Chengdao.
Just when the two of them were extremely surprised, they suddenly saw that the stone wall where Ye Cheng inserted the sword shook violently, and then the entire cave roof seemed to tremble again, Ye Cheng hurriedly jumped down, and just when his toes hit the ground, he saw that the stones on the top of the cave had begun to fall one after another. Ye Cheng hurriedly rushed to Zhong Qing's side, pulled him to the stone wall on the left side of the cave, and the stones fell right next to them, almost hitting Ye Cheng.
When the dust settled, Ye Cheng and Zhong Qing looked back, but saw that the top of the cave had become a big hole, and the sun shone down unscrupulously, forming a huge bowl-like shape in the hole, and the two of them looked down at the falling stones, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the stones were cracked one after another, and all that was exposed inside was gold, and it was obvious that natural gold could not have given birth to such a huge shape, and it must have been melted and hidden in the stone skin by someone who had collected the wealth of his life's rule.
At this time, Zhong Qing had already thrown her fear and fear out of the clouds, and couldn't help but clap her hands happily: "Brother Ye, we are out of danger now, and we have so many treasures in plain water, do you think God has favored us very much?"
Ye Cheng looked at the gold on the ground but said: "My mother often taught me that the aspirants do not drink the water of the stolen spring, and the incorruptible are not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, not to mention that there are so many ownerless treasures, saying that there is no owner, in fact, it is just that we don't know his master yet, this kind of money is obtained without hard work, and it is unjust, we definitely can't ask for it." ”
"As far as you can tell the truth, what does it mean to get something for nothing, my feet are almost blistered, and I have been whipped several times on my body, and I almost fell into the pit, isn't this hard enough?" Zhong Qing pouted and the boss was unhappy, but in his heart, he didn't understand what Ye Cheng said.
Ye Cheng stroked Zhong Qing's hair with a smile and quipped: "Zhong's predecessor has a lot of money, why is the eldest lady in the family so rich?"
Zhong Qing raised his neck and said, "This is a mistake, a gentleman loves money, how can there be people who can't get along with money?"
"It's good for a gentleman to love money, but it's right to take it in the right way, and we can't take this money. Ye Cheng then said.
"If you don't take it, you won't take it, anyway, if we find it, someone will come to take it sooner or later." If we take it, we can still do some good deeds, but if we are taken away by villains like Chen Zuyi, Wang Ce or Liu Huai'e, I am afraid how many disasters will happen. Zhong Qing said.
Ye Cheng didn't think of this just now, and when he heard Zhong Qingyi say it, he suddenly felt very reasonable, and couldn't help but say: "What Qing'er said is that this gold is now exposed, and it will definitely be taken away. Why don't we take the gold and give it to the children who have been taken captive, so that they can have something to rely on when they return to their hometowns. ”
Zhong Qing shook his head and said, "Although Brother Ye's idea is good, he can't do it. ”
"Why?" Ye Cheng was puzzled.
"What do you think, why did Zheng He come to fight Sanfo Island, nominally saying that justice should be upheld, evil and good should be promoted, but in fact, he was not recklessly promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and fighting for the emperor? When we rescued these children, sooner or later we would have to return to the Central Plains with Zheng He's fleet, how could he not see that these children were all carrying so much gold, if it was that time, what do you think he would think?"
Ye Cheng didn't know for a while, and looked at Zhong Qing blankly.
Zhong Qing didn't wait for Ye Cheng to think more, and then said: "Sanfo Island is now the Three Buddha Island of the Ming Dynasty, and the Fengming Cave on the Three Buddha Island is naturally the Fengming Cave of the Ming Dynasty, and the gold in the Fengming Cave should of course also be the gold of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhong Qing's words made Ye Cheng suddenly realize, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhong Qing: "Qing'er's analysis is extremely true, if it weren't for what you said, Ye Cheng would have almost been mistaken." ”
