Li Muran and Xiao Shusheng knew each other because of books, and now that Xiao Shusheng was killed, Li Muran naturally came to mourn each other through guò books.

"The books on this shelf are all essays and miscellaneous notes, which only record some interesting stories or express some feelings, and they are hardly helpful for spiritual practice. Only people like Senior Brother Xiao and I who love books will patronize this bookshelf. ”

Thinking of this, Li Muran felt sad again: "Now that Senior Brother Xiao is gone, I'm afraid only I will read the books here." Confidants are hard to find, those strange texts in the book, who can I enjoy in the future?"

Li Muran sighed, at this time, his heart was full of sadness, his mind was restless, not suitable for cultivation, let alone talisman making.

He casually pulled out a yellowed old book from the bookshelf in front of him, flipped through a few pages, and put it back - even if he was in the mood to read it, he was not in the mood for the time being.

Li Muran's eyes swept over the bookshelf, and finally stopped at an ancient book called "Looking for Immortal Road", slightly stunned.

"This book is the one that Senior Brother Xiao was reading before leaving," Li Muran muttered, "At that time, he also talked about this book to me, so that I could read this strange book in my spare time." However, at that time, I was obsessed with all kinds of exercises and talisman books, and I had no problem reading such books. ”

Li Muran took the book off the shelf and flipped through a few pages.

This is a half-true biography of Xiuxian, the plot is ups and downs, but it is not too exciting, but unfortunately, now Li Muran is in a bad mood and still can't immerse himself in the story in the book.

Li Muran flipped through it randomly, and was about to put it back on the bookshelf, when suddenly, a thin note fell from the page.

"Bookmark?" This was Li Muran's first thought, there is no doubt that if it was really a bookmark, it must have been left by Xiao Shusheng.

Li Muran leaned over and picked up the note, and now there were a lot of words and sentences written on it in small letters, Li Muran only glanced at these words, and his whole body was shocked!

"Senior Brother Zhao"! This is the beginning of the title on the note.

"Is it a message left for me?" Li Muran was taken aback, judging from the handwriting on the note, it was written by Xiao Shusheng himself.

"Why did Senior Brother Xiao leave me a note?" Li Muran's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly unfolded the note and read it carefully:

"Senior Brother Zhao, those exercises and talisman classics are enough for you to read for a month or two, if nothing else, you won't be able to see this note; ”

"Leaving the sect this time, Zai Xia knows that the danger is hidden, but he also has a great chance to obtain great benefits, and after weighing it, he decided to take a risk. ”

"Of course, there is still a hand left in the bottom. In case he doesn't come back next time, Senior Brother Zhao will show the information in this book sooner or later. Although I have not known Senior Brother Zhao for a long time, I am very close to each other and have become confidants, so I will give those treasures to Senior Brother Zhao so as not to fall into the hands of traitors!"

"The treasure is under the nineteenth green pine tree behind the library pavilion, and it can be seen three feet from the ground, I wish the junior brother good luck!"

There are only these contents in the note, and the signature is "Xiao Shusheng's pen".

"Absolutely stunning!" Li Muran was shocked: "It seems that Senior Brother Xiao has a premonition that there will be great risks, but he still insists on leaving, why is this?"

"He sandwiched the suicide note in this ancient book, and it was really exquisitely arranged, if it wasn't for his bad news, I wouldn't have looked through this book for no reason, and other disciples wouldn't!"

"What is the treasure he mentioned? Who is the traitor mentioned in the suicide note? Under the nineteenth pine tree, in the mountains and forests behind the library pavilion, there are indeed some green pines!"

"If you want to solve these mysteries, I'm afraid you have to go and see the treasures left by Senior Brother Xiao first. Perhaps, we can also find out the cause and effect of Senior Brother Xiao's murder!"

Li Muran thought of this, and immediately went to the back mountain to investigate.

He found a shovel in the utility room of the library with some dry dirt sticking to it - it was obviously used to dig some time ago, and I don't know if it was Xiao Shusheng who used him to bury treasures.

No one came to the library at night, Li Muran closed the library and came to the back mountain forest with a shovel.

There are many trees in the area, and green pines can be seen occasionally.

Walking towards the depths of the mountain forest from the back of the library pavilion, every time he found a green pine tree, Li Muran secretly counted, walked about two or three miles away, and finally came to the nineteenth green pine tree.

With the help of the moonlight leaking through the gaps in the trees, Li Muran relied on his extraordinary eyesight to remove the fallen leaves and carefully probe the soil under the green pine tree.

Sure enough, in one place the soil was relatively new, with some dark yellow soil, while in other places, the soil was grayish-black and silty because of the perennial leaf litter.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place has been touched before. Li Muran secretly said in his heart: "The place that Senior Brother Xiao said should be here." ”

Li Muran picked up the shovel and dug deeper.

After all, he was a person who had practiced arm strength, and after a while, Li Muran dug a deep pit and saw an iron box that was a square foot.

"The treasure is in this iron box!" Li Muran dug out the iron box and was about to open it casually.

Suddenly, he remembered a trivial incident from the past, one so trivial that he had almost forgotten about it.

Once, Xiao Shusheng chatted with him about the various methods of stealing and repairing mentioned in the classics, including the "treasure box trap".

If a young monk who has not been deeply involved in the world appears in this box, and sees that there is no one around, he may be driven by greed to open the treasure box and take the treasure in the treasure box.

However, treasure boxes often have traps, and if the monk is not prepared, he will be hit by a mistake, and he will lose his life in a daze.

At that time, Xiao Shusheng also specifically mentioned this trick, but this matter itself was not surprising, and Li Muran had already forgotten about it.

But not long ago, Li Muran was familiar with "The Book of Theft", which also mentioned this kind of trap, and it was more complex, more changeable, and unguardable, which made Li Muran very impressed.

Now that he saw the iron box, all this information naturally appeared in Li Muran's mind, and he couldn't help but retract the hand that was stretched out to the iron box.

"It stands to reason that Senior Brother Xiao wouldn't deliberately design to harm me!" Li Muran muttered in his heart, he went through Xiao Shusheng's suicide note in his mind, and figured it out word by word.

"Hey, this last sentence seems to have another mystery!" Li Muran's heart sank, and in the last sentence of the suicide note, Xiao Shusheng expressed his wishes to Li Muran, writing "I wish my junior brother good luck when he is evil".

Generally speaking, when leaving a letter, the last words of wish are to wish the other party a good luck, or a great increase in cultivation, a bright future, etc., this "turn evil into good fortune", although it is also a good word, but it is somewhat awkward.

Could it be that Senior Brother Xiao left this sentence to remind me to be careful that there is a mechanism in the iron box?"

If he only saw these words in other places, Li Muran wouldn't think too much, but Xiao Shusheng was familiar with the classics, so he naturally studied the choice of words and sentences, and his last sentence used these words against common sense, there should be a reason.

Judging from the layout of the suicide note mixed with the ancient books, Senior Brother Xiao is thoughtful, and there is indeed this possibility. ”

Thinking of this, Li Muran no longer dared to act rashly, he took out the vajra talisman from the storage bag, pasted it on his chest, and stirred it up, giving birth to a layer of condensed golden light, protecting his whole body.

He found a large tree that was a foot thick, hid behind the tree, stretched out his hand and carefully opened the iron box with a shovel.

"Poof!" a puff of red smoke rose and some mist splashed on the trunk of the tree, and suddenly the zrazla corroded into patches of black marks.

"It's the venom mechanism!" Li Muran was afraid for a while, and at the same time understood Xiao Shusheng's intentions.

Xiao Shusheng is probably afraid that the suicide note will fall into the hands of the enemy, so as to learn the whereabouts of the iron box, if the enemy is excited to open the iron box, he will definitely be hit, with the strong corrosiveness of the venom, it is definitely more than lucky.

And Xiao Shusheng left a suicide note to Li Muran, on the one hand, he may really want to give the treasure to Li Muran, a confidant, on the other hand, I am afraid that he also wants to use this layout to make his enemy fall into the trap unknowingly, so as to complete his revenge.

After all, the code words hidden in the last sentence of Xiao Shusheng's suicide note are probably only noticed by people like Li Muran, who pay attention to details.

The venom sprayed for a moment before stopping, Li Muran leaned out with the protection of the vajra talisman, and saw that there was a smaller jade box in the open iron box.

Li Muran carefully took out the jade box with a shovel and opened the jade box, this time there was no mechanism, and two things fell out of the jade box.

One is a half-piece of jade pendant - because this piece of jade pendant is semi-circular, and the edges are not neat, at first glance it is clear that it is a part of a broken piece of jade pendant.

There is another thing that is very peculiar, like a leather bracer that can be wrapped around the wrist, but if you look closely, it seems that there are brackets, runes, and the most strange thing is that this bracer is also inlaid with three spirit stones.

Li Muran fiddled with these two things repeatedly, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he pick them up.

The jade pendant is half a piece, and I can't see anything abnormal, and the jade quality looks very good, but Li Muran doesn't study jade too much, so he can't see the way.

"What is this bracer, why do you want to inlay spirit stones?" Li Muran was surprised and played with it repeatedly.

Li Muran has read a lot of books, and when he encounters a problem, he naturally recalls the classics he has read to see if he can find the answer from them.

"Could it be ......" a thought flashed through his mind like lightning:

"Artifact? This is the rumored artifact?"
