As soon as these words were spoken, Nan Guan touched his chin and muttered: "If I find the key to open the lower stone door, I really want to go in and have a look. Otherwise, I, the patriarch, will always have regrets. Tian Lai's novelｗｗ『ｗ.』⒉ "
Hearing Nan Guan's words, Elder Ma from the Jade Clan next to him smiled bitterly and said: "Clan Chief, why did you bring up the 'Pailong Key' again? That thing has been missing for decades, how can there be a chance to find it back? "
"Hahaha, that's true." At this moment, Nan Guan smiled awkwardly, and his wife said: "Look, my child and I were saved this time thanks to a sharp-billed mountain ray, that's it."
Mrs. Nan said and waved to the mountain ray not far away: "Come here, come here."
"Chichichiji——" The Jian-billed Mountain Reel liked Mrs. Nan very much, and immediately ran forward like a smog. When Nan Guan saw it, he immediately widened his eyes: "Eh, a living Mountain Reel?!"
Hearing the clan leader's surprised shout, several elders immediately gathered around him: "Where is it? Let me take a look."
"Everyone, I found this mountain rhinoceros in an abandoned jade mine on a mountain in the north, along with a few other things." Guan Heng took out a few bamboo slips and jade slips and handed them to Nan Guan, and said: "That place is called 'Xuanyong Mountain'."
"Xuanyong Mountain?!" Nan Guan and several elders were shocked when they heard this. One of the elders said: "Decades ago, a generation of clan leaders did lead people to that place, saying they were looking for ancient times. Something left over from our clan.”
"That's right, I've heard about this too." An elder from Xujibai also said: "The clan leader at that time left quickly and returned quickly. The people who accompanied him died and were injured, not just for some reason. , and he himself passed away more than a month later, and the reason is unknown."
"By the way, I heard that the clan leader once had a small mountain squid with him. It only had the orange realm. Could it be it?"
After listening to Elder Bai's words, the Jian-billed Mountain Turtle was extremely confused. Because it was so long ago, it really couldn't remember the specific situation, but its hometown was Prayer Mountain, which was definitely true. Guan Heng said: "There is an ancient text engraved on a bamboo slip. You will know the reason at a glance."
"Well..." Nan Guan and several elders were all flushed, and he smiled horrifiedly: "Actually, very few people in our clan are literate, hehe, so it's impossible for us to understand."
"I see, but it doesn't matter. Ruotao and I both know each other. Come on, let me tell you now."
Guan Heng picked up the bamboo slip and read it aloud. The ancient text patterns engraved on the surface of the bamboo slips roughly mean: During the jade mining in Xuanyong Mountain, the Yuguoshan tribe buried jade slips recording important information here. This mountain is the location of a rare and top-quality jade mine. During the thousands of years of mining, many derivatives that gathered the aura of demon spirits were born, collectively known as "jade demon spirits".
When the Jade Demon Spirit was not yet deserted in Xuanyong Mountain, dozens of monsters that controlled red demonic energy or even black energy had appeared. However, their existence finally made the evil people covet them, thus causing an unexpected disaster. .
As for the catastrophe that befell the jade demon spirit, there is not much recorded on this bamboo slip. It is only vaguely mentioned that there are more detailed contents in the jade slip. Then there is the content mentioned on the jade slips. I don’t know what year or month, the people of the Yuguoshan Yu tribe were mining jade here. They encountered unknown people who made trouble and attacked them, and they were forced to withdraw.
The people of the Jade Tribe hurriedly transported most of the jade stones they collected, but they buried some of the best "jade essences" and "jade fetuses" here, as well as something carved from the jade essence stone. Buried.
There were originally two objects carved from jade stone, both with the same texture and appearance. They were called "Panlong Keys".
In order to prevent these precious things from being kidnapped and mined, the mining people even left a domestic monster called a "mountain owl" to guard it.
Tianlin listened quietly beside her, and couldn't help but whisper: "Speaking of which, the mountain hawk is really pitiful. It trapped itself in this small cave for countless people just because of its master's order." years."
"Yes, when I first read the contents on the bamboo slips, I thought it had been trapped in Xuanyong Mountain for hundreds of years. In fact, it was not that long, but it was not too short."
When Guan Heng said this, he also patted the mountain turtle next to him on the forehead: "The bamboo slips say that when the mining people left, the mountain turtle was just a small monster with a light orange aura. Now it has evolved to the realm of red monster aura. It can be seen that time flies by and is gone forever.”
"So, there is no doubt that this mountain ray was raised by the previous clan leader." Nan Guan looked at the bamboo slips and jade slips that Guan Heng had just handed to him. In addition, there was also the one with long round ends, a slightly thinner middle, and carved tops. The whole jade of Panlong.
Guan Heng scratched his head and said: "At first I thought this thing was a jade pestle for pounding medicine, but later I made it into a drumstick, hahaha, luckily it wasn't broken."
"Well, when the clan's treasure house for storing important items was built, the clan leader at that time did say that two identical keys could open the lower treasure house."
Nan Guan said: "I think after the key that our clan kept was lost decades ago, the clan leader at that time went to Xuanyong Mountain to find another one. However, he encountered an inexplicable attack. In order to protect the key, he buried it in He went into the abandoned mine pit and asked the mountain turtle to stay and guard it."
"That's right." Guan Heng slightly chinned: "This analysis makes sense. I think the patriarch was attacked by enemies when he returned, so he died suddenly not long after he came back."
"Guan Heng, thanks to you bringing back the mountain turtle, the jade slips, and the key, our Jade Clan's treasure house can now be opened again." Nan Guan said sincerely at this time: "In addition, you once saved my wife and children. , I must repay these two great favors."
"Clan leader." Several elders next to them bit their ears, and then they all came over and said, "Brother Guan and his companions are too kind to our clan. I have a small suggestion, and I hope the clan leader will listen to it."
After hearing this, Nan Guan immediately said, "Everyone, it doesn't matter if you just say it."
"That's it. We would like to ask the clan leader to take the key and open the stone door at the lower level of the treasure house, so that several benefactors can go in and choose the things they like as a repayment gift."
After hearing what the elders said, Nan Guan immediately slapped his thigh: "Okay, that's what I had in mind. Elders, let's go somewhere."
Not allowing Guan Heng and the others to refuse, Nan Guan, several elders, and even Mrs. Nan insisted on this. Tian Lin tugged at Guan Heng's sleeves and whispered in his ear: "Brother Guan, you Just agree, it would be rude to refuse."
"Okay, everyone, we will be disrespectful." After Guan Heng said this, the Nanguan clan chief looked happy. He immediately shouted: "Madam, you quickly go to the kitchen to prepare meals. I will invite a few benefactors and elders. After eating, go to the treasure house immediately."
