Xu Ya didn't know how she got out of Ninghou Mansion. Her heart was confused and painful, as if she had been cut by hundreds of knives.
Wang Cheng followed quietly without saying a word, because the thing did not happen to him, and he could not fully understand the pain in Xu Ya's heart.
The two of them just walked in tandem.
It was noon and there were very few people on the street.
Suddenly, Xu Ya, who was walking in front, stopped and turned back to ask Wang Cheng: "Why is she so cruel?"
Wang Cheng didn't know how to answer, but he still believed Liu Yinyue's words, because the symptoms on Liu Yinyue were not fake, and she did have a heart problem.
The reason why he hadn't gone to see the Xu family for so many years was that Liu Yinyue had accepted her fate. More realistically, she had already accepted and got used to it.
She accepted the fact that she was married to her, she accepted that she had another child, and she gradually got used to life without the Xu family's father and daughter around her.
Habit is a terrible force. Bad habits can destroy a person, but good habits can strengthen a person.
Xu Ya suddenly said: "Brother Cheng, if one day I disappear too, perhaps to a place far, far away, will you look for me?"
Wang Cheng said without hesitation: "Of course!"
He hugged Xu Ya, stared into her eyes, and said word by word: "Remember, even if it's the end of the world, I will go to the bottom of the earth to find you!"
Xu Yamei's eyes shone with wonder. She had no doubts about Wang Cheng's words. She hugged Wang Cheng with her backhand and secretly made a decision in her heart.
The two of them arrived at Huitu Alley unknowingly.
Wang Cheng thought it was just right. He had always wanted to see the treasures in the underground secret room, so he would take this opportunity to take a look.
Arriving at Yang Si's "luxury mansion", the door was tightly closed as always.
Wang Cheng hugged Xu Ya, and with a little step, she had already passed over the wall and fell into the courtyard.
However, in the next second, six golden mastiffs rushed up, howling.
Xu Ya screamed in fright. She had been afraid of dogs since she was a child, and she got into Wang Cheng's arms.
"Yang Si!" Wang Cheng shouted into the room.
A voice calling a dog immediately came from inside the house, and the six golden mastiffs stopped immediately.
Yang Si, unkempt and disheveled, walked out like a beggar. When he saw Wang Cheng, he cried as if he had seen the great savior: "You're finally here!"
Wang Cheng's expression changed and he quickly asked: "Has someone come to investigate secretly in the past few days?"
Yang Si nodded and said: "In the past five days and three nights since you were away, there was a man in black sneaking into the hospital, and it doesn't seem to be the same person."
"promise."
He nuzzled at the six golden mastiffs in the courtyard and said: "This is the third wave of mastiffs I have bought. The six previous ones were all poisoned. If you don't come back, I will be here in a few days. It’s become a doghouse!”
Xu Ya on the side pursed her lips and smiled. She could imagine how Yang Si spent these days. He probably didn't get a good night's sleep. Brother Cheng really found the right person.
"Have you cashed in all the gold?" Wang Cheng asked again.
Yang Si shook his head and said: "How can it be that easy! There are two million taels of gold. Even if I go out ten times a day and exchange ten thousand taels for each trip, I can only redeem five hundred thousand taels in five consecutive days, and there are still one hundred and fifty thousand taels. One hundred thousand taels is right there!"
Because someone was secretly investigating in the yard, he did not dare to use a cart or horse to pull it, which would easily attract people's attention, so he could only tie the gold close to his body.
The clothes are only that big, so he can carry at most 10,000 taels of gold each time. Fortunately, he has the strength to reach three thousand kilograms, otherwise he would not be able to move it.
"No one noticed anything, right?" Wang Cheng was worried that exchanging so much gold would alert Chase Bank.
"No way!"
Yang Si shook his head and explained: "Every time after the gold is shipped out, I don't go to exchange it immediately. I keep it in one place first. I exchange the total of 500,000 taels of gold into two times, each disguised as a different one. identity, if Datong Villa can still discover it, then there’s nothing I can do about it.”
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, Yang Si's method was really good, he patted Yang Si on the shoulder, it was really hard for him.
"Let's go! Take me to the secret room!"
The two followed Yang Si to a room with all the daily utensils including stoves, pots, bowls, and water tanks.
This is the kitchen room!
Wang Cheng and Xu Ya looked at each other and had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Wouldn't Yang Si build the entrance and exit here?
They guessed correctly, Yang Si had made the entrance and exit right here, and it was still under the pot.
The two of them looked at the gray-faced Yang Si. No wonder he was covered in gray every time they saw him. He crawled under the pot all day long. It was strange that he was not dirty.
After Yang Si got into the bottom of the pot, he called for help from the two of them. The two endured the ashes at the bottom of the pot and got in.
After passing the entrance of the cave, the place below suddenly becomes open. The aisle is more than one meter wide and extends downward step by step.
Yang Si held a fire stick in his hand and said as he walked: "I blocked the original entrance and exit. I dug this with my own hands. It took me three days and three nights. You all should follow closely. I am still here. A trap has been set up.”
Wang Cheng and the two followed him for about ten meters, and finally arrived at the door of the secret room.
Yang Si pointed at the top of the door and said: "No! The mechanism is above here. If others don't know where this mechanism is, once they enter, the entire secret passage will collapse instantly. By then, no matter whether you are a martial artist or a martial sect, you will remain there forever. Come here!”
Wang Cheng and Xu Ya looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
They had no doubt at all about the authenticity of Yang Si's words. This man was a frequent visitor to the tomb, and he must be very good at digging soil, cutting tunnels, and setting up mechanisms.
For the first time, Wang Cheng had a change of opinion about Yang Si. This person who had always been unreliable finally became reliable.
He looked at the door in front of him and groped his chin. Such a good place couldn't be wasted. He had to find a permanent owner for it, someone who would stay together forever.
The secret room was still the same as before, with a total of forty boxes placed against the surrounding walls.
Wang Cheng skipped the boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry and went straight to the ten boxes containing strange and strange items.
The things placed inside are indeed strange and strange, including stones the size of a black washbasin, pink bellybands worn by women, and huge teeth of unknown creatures...
"Is this thing considered a treasure?"
Yang Si picked up the pink bellyband and threw it away with a bang.
Wang Cheng caught it, and when Xu Ya and Yang Si looked confused, he actually put the pink bellyband in front of his nose, smelled it, and rubbed it with his hands.
"nice one!"
Wang Cheng's eyes shone brightly. Seeing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, he quickly explained: "If I guess correctly, this thing is made of thousand-year-old ice silk. It is hard to break with swords and invulnerable to water and fire. It can also be worn as a piece of treasure armor." .”
When Yang Si heard that it was a treasure, he quickly took it back from Wang Cheng's hand and said with a lewd smile: "You can't bear such a good treasure."
"You also want women's clothes?" Xu Ya was speechless to Yang Si.
Yang Si said indifferently: "Anyway, if you wear it inside, outsiders can't see it."
Xu Ya was completely convinced by this weird thing.
At this time, Wang Cheng picked up the tooth again.
The teeth are all white, maybe because they have existed for a long time, and some are blackened. They look like daggers and are nearly twenty centimeters long.
He took the tooth and slashed it against the box, and the wooden box, which was nearly two centimeters thick, was easily scratched through.
"Such sharp teeth!"
When Yang Si heard that it was another treasure, he ran over to grab it before he even closed the little bellyband in his hand.
Wang Cheng had been on guard for a long time. This guy's hands were so fast that sometimes he couldn't even guard him, so before Yang Si could reach out, he had already put his teeth in his arms.
"show me!"
Yang Si rushed forward and reached for Wang Cheng's arms. Wang Cheng grabbed his wrist and he was immediately shaken.
He grinned and said: "One look! Just take a look! After reading it, I will return it to you!"
"Get out!"
Wang Cheng threw Yang Si away. He knew this person too well. If he really wanted to show him, he would definitely beat the dog and never come back.
Yang Si didn't insist anymore, but he had two similar experiences in a row, and he was very interested in these weird things.
Unfortunately, there are too many strange things here, and there are ten boxes in total. Unlike Wang Cheng, who has read all the books in the Martial Arts Pavilion, his vision and knowledge are far beyond the comparison of others. He cannot see what the real treasure is, so he can only follow Wang Cheng and "eat dirt".
"Huh?"
At this time, Xu Ya suddenly bent down and picked up a pair of pendants from a box.
Judging from the texture, it is made of wood, rectangular in shape, about the size of a baby's palm, with some black spots in the middle, as if it has been roasted by fire, and there are Tai Chi and Bagua diagrams carved on it.
Xu Ya walked up to Wang Cheng with the pendant and said, "Brother Cheng, is this a Taoist magic weapon?"
Wang Cheng took it, looked at it for a while, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and was slightly surprised: "It turned out to be a tree struck by lightning!"
"Is it the tree that was struck by lightning on a rainy day?" Xu Ya said.
Wang Cheng explained: "This is not an ordinary tree! Judging from the material, this should be a peach tree that has grown for thousands of years!"
"A thousand-year-old peach tree?" Xu Ya was a little surprised.
Wang Cheng nodded and said: "Generally speaking, a peach tree will stop bearing fruit after five to fifteen years of growth. Between twenty and twenty-five years, its life is basically over. You can imagine a peach tree that has lived for a thousand years. "
"Is he a sperm?" Yang Si suddenly came over.
Wang Cheng immediately put the pendant into Xu Ya's hand. When Yang Si saw the thing in Xu Ya's hand, he immediately behaved like a gentleman.
"The thousand-year-old peach tree absorbs the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon all day long. It does not bloom or bear fruit, just to take that step."
Wang Cheng then lamented: "It's a pity that it failed to take that crucial step and was struck to death by thunder. Otherwise, there would be another spiritual tree between heaven and earth."
All things in heaven and earth have spirits. Although flowers, plants and trees do not know how to practice, they still want to live forever out of their instinct of life.
Just like this peach tree, it has lived for thousands of years without dying. If it can survive the thunder, its life level will make a leap and transform into a spirit.
Once it becomes a spirit, it will have wisdom like a human being and can even practice like a human being. At this point, it is not so easy to kill.
Wang Cheng told Xu Ya: "You must keep this amulet. It can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, and it can save your life at critical moments!"
