Chapter 16: Cracking
Chu Liuxian and Wang Cilong stepped out of the Ming Concubine Makeup Building and parted ways with everyone.
As soon as he got out, Wang Cilong instinctively turned upstream, as if he decided that Chu Liuxian was going to take this road.
After taking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong, Chu Liuxian actually turned around and headed north, and he walked dozens of feet away.
"Ah~"
"Brother Chu, you're waiting for me!"
The little fat man hurried slowly, and the two of them walked one after the other, towards a high mountain as far as the eye could see.
After being quiet for a long time, the little fat man couldn't help it and asked, "Brother Chu, are we going the wrong way?"
"Really?"
Chu Liuxian seemed to be in a hurry, moving forward with his head bored and not looking back.
The little fat man was so hung that he was left behind, and he kept saying in his mouth: "Brother Chu, I don't believe you didn't see it?"
"See what?"
"Lotus, pond, rockery!"
"Did you say the place upstream: Ailianju?"
The little fat man slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Ah, I knew that Brother Chu couldn't have been unnoticed." ”
Chu Liuxian finally stopped, and there was a stream flowing not far ahead.
He walked to the stream, took a handful of water and threw it on his face, and then replied, "It's just a glimpse, I didn't look at it carefully." ”
"What?"
The little fat man froze, and the stream kept flowing down between his hands, and it became empty in a blink of an eye.
"That's a secret, Brother Chu, didn't you pay attention?"
The little fat man asked again in disbelief......
Chu Liuxian's attention at that time fell on the dragon-headed human god statue, and he really didn't spend too much effort on the lotus pond.
He just vaguely remembered that the lotus pond was upstream of the Ming Concubine Makeup Building, and there seemed to be buildings scattered around it, all of which were dilapidated and dilapidated, and he didn't know how many times it had been ravaged by something.
"Isn't it you?"
Chu Liuxian smiled slightly, not caring at all.
"But, but ......" The little fat man jumped up, and didn't care about splashing all over the water, and went around the stream a few times, "They must have seen it too, Brother Chu, we will go over now, maybe it will be too late." ”
As he spoke, he was going to pull Chu Liuxian up.
Chu Liuxian shook his hand away, shook his head and said: "Fatty, don't worry, the secret treasure is not so easy to find, a lotus pond, a few rockeries standing, just want to find out the secret treasure of Liuxian Jun? ”
"Besides, I need to confirm one thing first. ”
The little fat man still agreed with his last sentence, but the latter sentence was completely unclear, and he thought, "What could be more important than the Vault?"
He asked whatever he wanted, but Chu Liuxian didn't answer this time, and said, "Rest enough, let's go." ”
"Rest...... Enough is enough......"
The little fat man wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't even have time to drink saliva.
had no choice but to keep up with Chu Liuxian's footsteps with a bitter face.
Wading through the stream, climbing to the peak, and spending more than half an hour, Chu Liuxian and Wang Cilong climbed the mountain that they could see when they went down to the Ming Concubine Tower.
"Brother Chu~~"
The little fat man was panting, pressed his hands on his knees, and said weakly: "What are you doing in this place where birds don't?"
The mountain wind was howling, unsheltered and unstoppable, rushing straight to his mouth and nose, and his words seemed intermittent.
Chu Liuxian's breath was uneven, but his voice was still as stable as before: "I said, I'm here to confirm something." ”
There are old trees on the peak, the roots are intertwined, the tree body is as high as dozens of zhang, such as a vicissitudes of life, overlooking the whole thousand mountains.
Chu Liuxian adjusted his breath slightly, and he didn't care about the little fat man's confusion and questions, and climbed straight to the top of the old tree.
At this moment, it was already the bright moon in the sky, and the little fat man looked up from below and saw Chu Liuxian as if he was on the moon.
Under the bright moon as big as a disk, Chu Liuxian took out the old painting scroll and looked at the thousand mountains in the night.
The little fat man waited impatiently, and remembered the scene of Chu Liuxian piercing the old picture scroll in the Ming Concubine Building, and he was interested, and he also used his hands and feet to go up the old tree.
He sat next to Chu Liuxian, shaking the branches, Chu Liuxian hurriedly came back to his senses, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, the branches would be broken by the little fat man.
"Brother Chu, what are you looking at?"
The little fat man came over without face and skin, so he almost sniffed on the scroll, and he didn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time.
Chu Liuxian patted him on the shoulder, stuffed the scroll into his, put his hands behind his head, lay down on his back on the branch, and said leisurely: "I didn't say it, I want to confirm one thing." ”
"Is that confirmed?"
"I'm waiting. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for it to come out!"
The little fat man was speechless, and he was shouting in his heart: "Can't you finish it in one breath?!"
didn't dare, I was sullen for a while, and then I started to joke again.
Chu Liuxian talked to him without a match, but he knew a lot about Gongzi Ye, Wang Tianlong and others, and this night was not lonely.
Time seems to enjoy this rare tranquility, and slowly reluctant to leave.
Chu Liuxian didn't give it back, Wang Cilong waited so much that he almost wanted to take off the moon in the sky and smash it to the foot of the mountain.
Then slowly, when it finally ends, the bright moon sinks in the west, the sun rises in the east, and the light is like an arrow, shooting the night that shrouds the sky over the thousand mountains.
"It's out!"
As soon as the little fat man screamed, Chu Liuxian jumped up, put his hand on his forehead, and looked out.
The night is like a curtain, and it is the big hand of heaven and earth, unveiled little by little.
The sun is approaching, the night is receding, the vast plains, the rushing rivers, the mountains are standing...... Gradually stretch your body in the sun.
Chu Liuxian's eyes were also lit up little by little, just like the light shining on his face.
"Draw it!"
He drank, the little fat man didn't know why, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly unfolded the picture scroll that had been held all night and brought it to him.
Chu Liuxian stared for a moment, and suddenly made a move, "Papapa~~~~" There were a few more holes on the picture scroll.
"Whew~~~"
Chu Liuxian let out a sigh of relief, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Sure enough!"
Then there was a loud laugh, and the laughter rumbled, echoing in the mountains, and if there were thousands of people, they laughed and congratulated in unison.
"So what?!"
The little fat man was going crazy, and asked repeatedly.
Chu Liuxian stretched out his hand, grabbed the little fat man's arm with one hand, and jumped down from the tree with him.
He was obviously in a good mood, and he was full of smiles: "Liuxian Jun is really Liuxian Jun, I see Qifeng outstanding in ordinary places, and it is not worth breaking a spiritual jade, and if I don't break it, I will rack my brains, and I can't solve it." ”
"The secret of oranges, what a secret of oranges, in the end I solved it!"
"Wait. The little fat man felt that his brain was not enough, so he straightened it out and asked, "Brother Chu, you said you ...... Unraveled?"
"Not bad!"
Chu Liuxian nodded with a smile: "The secret of the Immortal Retention Diagram has been solved!"
