I recognized it at a glance. Isn’t this the skin of the black sheep in Lao Caiyuan?
Wang Banxian chuckled: "Three years ago, Brother Zhenting took these sheepskins, horns, and many herbs and asked me to find a way to exchange them for something precious.
"You don't know? This is really hard for me. I have to find countless connections, and finally I got the mahogany stick in your hand. Sheeppi gave me money for running errands."
I suddenly realized that it turned out that the wise friends my grandfather was looking for back then were Wang Banxian and his wife. These are real elders.
Du Jun and I stood up in a hurry: "Grandpa Wang, why didn't you tell me earlier? If there is anything that offends you in the past two days, don't you be offended?"
"Hahahaha, where did you go? Your grandpa Wang can still pick your brain!" Wang Banxian waved his hand.
With this relationship, they naturally became much closer, and Wang Banxian's tone became more casual.
"Xiao Dao, I know you have a lot to ask, don't worry, take out the box left by your grandfather first, and I will tell you the rest in detail."
I hurriedly took out the box. Wang Banxian took it and rubbed it with his fingers for a while. He took out a thin bronze key from his arms, inserted it into the small hole and turned it, bang! There was a soft sound.
Wang Banxian handed me the opened box: "Take a look, this is what your grandfather left for you."
Inside the box is a simple-style ring with several prominent irregular patterns on it, giving it a special charm. Next to it is a piece of milky yellow leather paper made of animal skin, with landscapes drawn on it. It seems to be a map.
Wang Banxian gestured with his eyes. I picked up the ring and looked at it. I didn't find anything special about it. I tried it on my finger and it just fit on my index finger. I clenched my fist and pushed out the raised pattern. It was considered a success. A small ornament.
The map is full of some special tall and strong trees, as well as some unknown vegetation, like a valley hidden in the mountains. In the distance is a mountain with a white upper half and a black lower half.
In the right corner of the map are written two lines of small characters: Northeast Duanyun Mountain and Golden Summit Demon Temple.
"Take a good look at what's special about this map?" Wang Banxian reminded me.
Um! I used my eyesight to observe carefully and found that the brushwork and paint in some places on the map were a little strange, and the two lines of words seemed to have been added later.
"Grandpa Wang, has this map been modified?" I looked up and asked.
Wang Banxian nodded: "Yes, it's just something your grandfather and I added."
He pointed to the lower part of the map, far away from the mountains, and said, "It's right here. Those two lines were also written later."
I wondered in my heart, what is grandpa doing? If you have any good things, can't you just give them to me? Why are they still buried underground? Isn’t this just trying to be mysterious?
I wasn't in the mood to guess anymore, so I simply asked directly: "Grandpa Wang, what is going on? Why do I get more and more confused?"
Wang Banxian and his wife looked at each other, and the old man sighed: "Oh, this is taking a long time to say. Your grandfather has been hesitating whether he should tell you these things. He originally thought of keeping these secrets in his stomach. After all, we All three of them paid a heavy price for this incident."
Wang Banxian raised his incomplete right hand: "If your grandfather hadn't been there, your grandma Wang and I might have long since passed away."
…
Wang Banxian's real name is Wang Moxuan, and he comes from a family of tomb robbers among the four great sects. This man has been smart since he was a child, especially his dexterous hands. He can divide gold to fix acupoints and crack mechanisms... He can be called a genius among the gold-touching captains.
And his wife, Grandma Wang, is a master of another famous sect in the world - the Holding Treasure Sect, whose original name is Lin Yan.
The two elders have a good relationship, and they are also childhood sweethearts. Grandma Wang is erudite, knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and is proficient in observing the sky and earth, true and false yin and yang in holding back treasures... everything.
The couple searched for gold and treasure in the rivers and lakes, and never failed.
After a long time, ordinary ancient tomb treasures could not arouse their interest, so they simply chose some remote and dangerous places to start.
But there is such a saying, when the sky is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be misfortune. The two people set their sights higher and higher, and finally set their sights on the legendary treasure of the Qing Dynasty.
This treasure is mainly spread among the four great sects. It is said that a huge fortune of the Qing Dynasty was buried in the northeast, and some seniors from the four great sects were involved in this matter, but they were all silenced afterwards.
But the news about this treasure was still leaked. It said it had noses and eyes: there were countless gold and silver jewels, enough to earn the Qing treasury for several years, buried in a certain mountainous area in the Northeast...
For hundreds of years, countless bandits, warlords, tomb robbers, and treasure hunters have tried to dig it out, but all in vain.
Everyone also understood: this is fucking nonsense, the insiders have been silenced, how could such detailed information be spread.
But Wang Banxian was convinced of this, because his family's ancestral notes had mentioned this matter, and recorded the general location of the treasure location, and also left two formulas, which are the northeastern section of Yunshan and the Golden Dome Demon Temple.
The general meaning is that the treasure is near Duanyun Mountain in the northeast and is related to the Demon Temple. It's just that the place is very secret and impossible to find without special opportunities.
Wang Banxian thought about it. Money is one aspect, but the key issue is status and face. If this treasure is unearthed by him, then in the world, Wang Banxian will not only surpass the current generation, but also very likely to become a legend among the younger generations of disciples.
So Wang Banxian took Grandma Wang and a few confidants to the Northeast. After arriving there, he spent a lot of money to hire two guides, and the group stepped into the primitive forest.
Unexpectedly, they underestimated the difficulty of this matter. It was too dangerous there and there were endless poisonous insect monsters. Within a few days, people began to get injured, then died, and finally only the couple, a bodyguard and a guide were left.
The guide was so frightened that he refused to go forward. Although Wang Banxian was unwilling to do so, he could only follow him back. As a result, he was bitten by a group of venomous snakes as soon as he walked out of the edge of the forest.
When several people were dying, they were discovered by a doctor who went into the mountains to collect herbs and rushed to rescue them. This man was my grandfather Zhou Zhenting.
Wang Banxian was extremely grateful. After the two of them talked about each other, they found out that they were both disciples of the four great sects, and they had some connections with each other from the previous generation.
In fact, grandpa also came here for these treasures, but our Zhou family has relatively little information. We also have a map, but there are no detailed records like the Wang family, and there is no formula.
Grandpa just tried his luck. He didn't bring a guide, so he didn't dare to go deep. He picked some medicine by the way.
Faced with his benefactor, he couldn't hide anything, so Wang Banxian took out all the family information. This comparison gave him confidence, and with his grandfather as a doctor, he finally convinced the guide, and they walked a little further and found it. An entrance...
pity!
Wang Banxian smiled bitterly and said: "I thought I could find a treasure, but I didn't expect that it was actually a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. The entrance was fake, and there were countless traps and ambushes inside. In the end, the guide and bodyguards all died inside.
"I touched the organ, and this hand was mutilated. Your grandma Wang was also poisoned. She felt very cold all the time. Every winter, it felt like her body was about to freeze. She still relied on the prescription left by your grandfather to barely keep her alive. body of.
But from now on, I have to take medicine and massage all year round to stay healthy. "
