Chapter 419: Treasure of the Ancient Dian Kingdom
The people who saw it in their hands were very excited, and their voices changed, and a few people even cried bitterly. The originally orderly crowd suddenly became a mess.
When Duan Yuntu heard that the animal skin he found was the "Ancient Dian Kingdom Treasure Map", he chuckled in his heart. He'd heard of it.
Legend has it that as early as more than 1,000 years ago, in the area of present-day Jiangchuan County, there was an ancient Dian country, which was very prosperous and powerful, and the culture and economy were highly developed at that time.
The politics of the ancient Dian country were clear, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and at the same time, because of the remote location, there were few contacts with the Central Plains countries, so they escaped the war, and the country was peaceful and peaceful.
Unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky, and one night, the ancient Dian Kingdom was shaken. Overnight, the vicissitudes of life, the prosperous capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom disappeared, and was replaced by an ocean, which is today's Fuxian Lake. Therefore, many people say that at the bottom of today's Fuxian Lake, there is a prosperous ancient city, and there is a palace made of gold in the city.
This legend has a long history, many people regard it as a story, and many people try to dive into the lake to unravel the mystery of Fuxian Lake.
However, due to the large area of Fuxian Lake and the extremely deep water of the lake, no one has ever been able to successfully dive to the bottom of the lake. So the matter is closed.
In addition, according to legend, the ancient Dian kingdom at that time also had a treasure vault somewhere outside the city, so after the ancient Dian kingdom sank to the bottom of the lake, this treasure was preserved and guarded by several tribes of the ancient Dian kingdom.
In this treasure, there are not only a large number of gold and jewelry, but also a book of immortal exercises left behind. It is said that many people in the ancient Dian Kingdom have lived past two or three hundred years old, and they rely on this long life exercises.
And whether it is gold or exercises, it has a great attraction to people in the world. Who doesn't want to be rich? Who doesn't want to live a few hundred years?
There has always been a saying in the rivers and lakes that the tribe that guarded this treasure has handed down a treasure map that indicates the location of this treasure. At the same time, there are twelve bronze medals that have been handed down, and these twelve bronze medals are also the key to unlocking this treasure. Therefore, the treasure map and the twelve bronze medals are indispensable.
The people in the rivers and lakes fought for this treasure and fought each other, causing a series of battles in the rivers and lakes, and resentment continued. And the martial arts hero a hundred years ago is also said to be related to this treasure.
This matter has been silent for a hundred years, but today, this treasure map has appeared again, and it has appeared so abruptly, so inexplicably!
Duan Yuntu sat there and didn't move, but he wasn't indifferent to this animal skin. He was faintly worried in his heart, this already not very calm rivers and lakes, I am afraid that there will be another catastrophe.
The men scrambled for a while, and gradually fell silent. But they still whispered together in groups and twos about the hide, and the treasure behind it.
Murong Fang stood in the middle of the courtyard and said loudly, "May I ask who sent this treasure map?"
The crowd fell silent all of a sudden, everyone look at me, I look at you, and they all want to know where this treasure map came from. But Murong Fang asked three times in a row, and no one in the crowd could answer his question.
So Murong Fang said: "Everyone, although this treasure map appeared in my home as a birthday gift. But the things involved behind this are too big, and the old man doesn't dare to take it for himself. What to do with this treasure map, please discuss your ideas together. ”
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then began to talk again. For such a treasure, everyone wants to keep it for themselves, but there are so many people here, and if anyone takes this treasure map, they will immediately become the target of public criticism.
So everyone's eyes were on the treasure map, but no one came up with a good idea.
At this time, two people came in at the gate, one with a long sword in his arms and the other with two sledgehammers. Needless to say, these two people are the owner of Green Willow Village and Zhao Da Hammer.
Zhao Dazhu's voice was very loud, and he shouted loudly before he entered the door: "Master Murong, I'm really sorry, Master Liu and I were delayed because of something, and we almost missed your birthday, don't blame you!"
Seeing that it was these two people, Murong Fang hurriedly greeted him, and said with a reluctant smile: "The two of you can come to participate in the birthday banquet of the old man, the old man is already very grateful, how dare you be dissatisfied with the two of you?"
Zhao Dazhui laughed twice, saw Duan Yuntu sitting in the corner, and immediately walked over, and shouted affectionately: "Big brother, you are also here." It was so nice, I didn't expect us to meet again!"
Duan Yuntu stood up, patted Zhao Dazhui on the shoulder and said, "Brother Sledgehammer, it looks like your injuries have healed. The way you looked at that time really scared me to death!"
Zhao Dazhui made a mistake with the double hammer, turned around again, and said: "Let the eldest brother worry, my injury has long been healed." Speaking of which, I also want to thank the centenarian, his medical skills are really incomprehensible. If it weren't for him, my little life would really be to see Hades, and you would never see me again, big brother. ”
The two talked for a while, and Zhao Dazhui saw that the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little weird, and the birthday banquet had begun, but everyone was not seated, and the expressions on everyone's faces were unnatural. So he pulled Murong and asked, "Master Murong, what's going on?"
Murong Yiyi gave him a brief account of the discovery of the treasure map. Zhao Dazhui walked over and picked up the animal skin, looked at it and said, "This is that treasure map, I don't think it's anything special! But since this treasure map was given to Master Murong as a birthday gift, then it naturally belongs to your old man, what's so embarrassing?"
Many people listened to Zhao Dazhui's words, and they all scolded in their hearts: "You said so lightly, who is willing to watch this treasure map fall into the hands of others? Don't you want to get those treasures? Make yourself feel as if you are out of the mud and not stained." ”
Murong Fang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao is upright by nature and does not covet fame and wealth, so he thinks this matter is easy to handle." But behind this treasure map is an earth-shattering treasure, and the old man thinks that he doesn't have such a great blessing to consume, so he doesn't dare to take it for himself, so he feels very embarrassed!"
Zhao Dazhui looked at Murong Fang, then at the animal skin, and then turned his head to look at the people around him, although he was upright by nature, he could also see that these people around him wanted this treasure map.
He secretly cursed hypocrisy in his heart, and said loudly: "Since Master Murong doesn't want it, then this treasure map should be given to others." But there are so many people here, and no one else is convinced. Why don't we have a friend with force, whoever wins, this treasure map will belong to whom, and then others will not be convinced and will not speak, do you say okay?"
