Chapter 173: Treasure Hunter
Why don't you hesitate, according to his original intention, he doesn't want to do much anyway. But the three of them traveled together, and along the way, whether it was food or accommodation, it was all covered by this Xu Shen Doctor, and he was benevolent and righteous to himself. If you let the other two people get into danger, hide in the house by yourself, and ignore it, it is too unjust.
Xu Mo and Han Ying exchanged a look, according to their meaning, they actually didn't want He Buyu to follow, thinking: At night, we just ran out secretly.
Say no more at the moment.
The three of them entered the hall, the hall was almost full, there were more than a dozen waves of high-rollers, the swords were tense, the atmosphere seemed very tense, it seemed that there was a fight at any time, but there were barbarian guards, and no one dared to attack first.
The three of them found a seat and sat down, and the shopkeeper said, "Three guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
Xu Mo casually took out a silver ingot, about one or two weights, and threw it to the shopkeeper, "What is delicious, just come up, the excess is yours." ”
The shopkeeper took the money in his hand, checked it, and said happily: "Wait a minute, the guest will come soon." "Go back to the back hall and prepare food for Xu Mo and them.
There are still people coming outside, in addition to the high-rollers, there are also strange people from all walks of life, obviously all of whom are here to make money gourds. There were more and more people in the whole hall, and then I gradually couldn't sit down, so I had to sit outside the inn.
Han's mother threw the money gourd at night. Xu Mo and the others didn't want to do much, so after eating, they went back to their rooms and waited. The first half of the night was quiet, but in the middle of the night, the inn suddenly became noisy, noisy, and all the guests were walking out.
Xu Mozhi said that it was about to be the time for Han's mother to throw the money gourd, greeted Han Ying, hid why he didn't say anything, and quietly came out of the room.
When I left the inn, I saw that the lights were brilliant, and countless people were climbing to a nearby mountain peak with lanterns. The two remained silent, followed the crowd, and climbed towards the tower.
Soon after, they reached the top of the mountain, which was full of people, and hundreds of barbarian guards were maintaining order.
Xu Mo stood in the crowd for a moment, then quietly took Han Ying's hand, walked out of the crowd, left the top of the mountain, and found a corner where no one was.
The terrain of this place is not good, and it is very unfavorable for the competition for money gourds, and no one wants to come to the high-rollers. But Xu Mo's purpose was not to make money gourds, but to meet Han's mother, so they didn't care what kind of place they chose.
The noise at the top of the mountain was getting louder and louder, but fortunately there were barbarian guards, and there was no fight for a while. Time passed slowly, and it was the middle of the night.
Suddenly, a trumpet sounded, and a barbarian guard shouted: "Your Majesty is coming, everyone is silent." Immediately after that, dozens of people shouted at the same time, "Your Majesty is coming, and everyone is silent." ”
The voices of dozens of people were heard all over the mountain.
The top of the mountain instantly became silent, and everyone stopped making noise.
After a while, a light suddenly flashed in the sky in the northern sky, and it seemed that several people were flying towards the mountain at a very fast speed. It wasn't until near that everyone found out that it was actually eight palace girls, each riding a huge blue bird under their crotch, and they were all carrying a glass palace lamp in their hands.
When the eight palace maidens reached the air directly above the top of the mountain, they automatically separated and divided into two columns. I only heard a palace maid at the head say: "Your Majesty has arrived, and everyone welcomes Your Majesty." ”
Countless people knelt down at the same time and shouted, "Welcome to Her Majesty the Queen, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”
In the midst of the shout, thirty-two palace girls flew from the north, their clothes were slightly different from the eight palace girls in front, and each rode a huge yellow bird under their crotch. Thirty-two people played the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and when they approached, they did not say a word, and stood in two columns.
The top of the mountain was quiet again, but only for a few breaths. Suddenly there was fairy music in the air, the mountains were full of flowers, and under the embrace of a group of female officials riding heavenly horses, sixteen phoenixes held a huge jade chariot and flew over.
There was a person sitting on the jade chariot, wearing clothes that seemed to be woven by clouds and brocade clouds, shining brightly and dazzling.
Countless people shouted loudly again, "Long live Her Majesty the Queen, long live, long live." ”
Xu Mo quietly glanced at the person on his back, and the person was actually a young girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a dignified expression, and her face was vaguely similar to Han Ying.
"Is it your mother?" Xu Mo turned around and asked Han Ying quietly.
Han Ying nodded and said, "It's my mother, this is what she looked like when she was young." ”
Xu Mo said 'um', "In my dream, your mother has become younger." ”
The girl waved her hand and said lightly: "Everyone is flat." ”
Countless people said loudly: "Your Majesty Queen Xie." ”
One of the female officials suddenly urged the horse forward and said loudly: "Everyone below, listen, Her Majesty the Queen is merciful, and tonight in Qingfu Mountain will give a gourd to make money, this gourd, whoever picks it up belongs to whom, and everyone must not kill each other, otherwise they will all be executed." ”
The crowd shouted again, "Your Majesty." There was joy in his voice.
The girl nodded, and the female officer stepped aside. In the sound of fairy music, sixteen phoenixes flew, holding the jade chariot, and flew forward again, this time just above everyone's heads.
At this time, it was closer, and from Xu Mo's place, the appearance of the girl on the chariot was even more real, Han Ying thought of her mother, and couldn't help but shout: "Mom!"
Xu Mo was startled, hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and said in a low voice: "Don't scream, she doesn't recognize you." ”
Fortunately, there was the sound of fairy music everywhere in the air, and Han Ying's voice was suppressed, and the two were far away, so no one heard it.
Han Ying's heart sank, and she nodded hurriedly, and Xu Mo let go of her.
The girl took out a purple-gold gourd from her side and glanced at it, but when she saw the crowd surging, she couldn't help frowning, and after a little thought, she threw the gourd into the distance.
The gourd seemed to have spirituality, and it seemed to have a pair of invisible wings, and after leaving his hand, it actually drew an arc in the air and flew towards the mountains in the distance.
After the girl threw out the gourd, she stomped lightly on the chariot, and sixteen phoenixes held the jade chariot and flew away to the north.
The female officer who had spoken before rode out again and said loudly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
Everyone shouted again, "Congratulations to your majesty to return to the palace, long live your majesty, long live, long live." ”
It was still eight palace girls riding blue birds with palace lanterns, leading the way, and thirty-two palace girls playing the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and then walking, and all the female officials followed the jade chariot.
The female official who had spoken was the last to speak, and said again, "Everyone must not kill each other, otherwise they will all be executed." ”
The voice was extremely harsh, and after he finished speaking, he urged Pegasus to chase forward.
Until the girl and her party disappeared into the air, without a trace, the fairy music in the air disappeared, and the flowers in the mountains disappeared in an instant.
Everyone cheered and made an uproar again, and one of them said loudly: "The money gourd is mine, and no one is allowed to rob it from me." ”
But no one paid attention to him, and everyone chased in the direction of the gourd flying away, and on the top of the mountain with hundreds of people, in an instant, there was no one left.
The barbarian guards scattered, still following the departing crowd, maintaining order.
Xu Mo glanced at Han Ying, but seeing that she was stunned looking at the direction where the girl disappeared, she seemed to be stupid, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." ”
Han Ying came back to her senses and nodded reluctantly.
The two were about to leave together, Xu Mo's ears moved, and suddenly a person said behind a few big stones near him: "Brother Dao, did you bring it?"
Another laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry, if you forget something, you won't forget it." ”
The man who spoke earlier urged: "Quick, let it out, and see which way the money-making gourd flies." ”
The other said yes, followed by a squirming sound, as if rummaging for something.
Xu Mo made a silent gesture to Han Ying, quietly took a few steps forward, and looked at the big stone, it was late at night, and the view on the mountain was limited, as long as they didn't make any sound, it was expected that the two of them would not be able to find themselves.
Xu Mo's vision is psychic, but he is not limited by the dark sky and white night, and he looks at it intently and sees it clearly. But I saw two people standing behind the big stone, a leper monk and a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest was rummaging through the parcel he was looking for, and after a while, he took out an iron box and whispered, "Found it." There was joy in his tone.
The leper monk urged again: "Quick, let it out." ”
The Taoist priest nodded, opened the iron box, and immediately something flew out of the iron box, which was actually a golden flying ant, more than an inch long.
After the golden flying ant flew out of the box, it always flew in one direction, flying in the air, but it did not fly away.
The leper monk glanced at the flying ant and said strangely: "Strange, why is it in the opposite direction from the money-making gourd flying away?" Brother Dao, is it a mistake?"
The Taoist priest shook his head, "No, my treasure hunter ant has never made a mistake in exploring the direction of the treasure, it must have been after the money-making gourd flew away, circled around the mountain, and flew away in another direction." ”
The leper monk thought for a while before he said: "Maybe the queen sees that there are too many people competing for the gourd, and it is not necessary to do this on purpose, Brother Dao, let's hurry up and chase after it." ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "Fortunately, those fools are all chasing in the wrong direction, and they should be cheap for you and me." Having said that, with treasure ants in hand, if a treasure like a money gourd doesn't fall into the hands of you and me, then in the hands of whom?"
The leper monk smiled and said: "With the money-making gourd, Brother Dao's Taoist temple can be built in the near future, and then he can be the master of his own view." ”
"Ha Luha!" Da Lu, the Taoist priest at the foot of the slope, laughed, "I am not the only one who gets the benefits? At that time, the Taoist brother can also return to the vulgar, be a rich man, a beautiful wife and a concubine, and live a free life." ”
"That's right, let's hurry over. The leper monk's tone was full of joy, and he urged again.
The Taoist priest put the treasure ant into the iron box, and the two of them rushed to the direction indicated by the treasure ant.
