After Liu Qingshan opened the red cloth, a strange-looking silver statue of a big bird and an antique black leather diary were revealed.
Liu Han handed the notebook into my hand: "An old man sold this to me back then, and it contains a big secret.
"What a pity! Many people read it as a story. These people are illiterate. Can you read the words on it? Most of them don't know it. I only found out about it after asking an old gentleman from Murakami."
I touched the notebook. It was definitely genuine leather. There was a concave and convex mark on the upper left corner of the cover.
If you touch it with your hands, you can tell that it looks like a copper coin.
Something moved in my heart, this was the secret message of holding back the treasure door.
"Well, let me take a look first."
I opened my diary.
…
xx, x month 8
I have been walking for more than ten days, but I still haven't found the legendary treasure. I can only drink the blood of wild beasts these days. If I continue like this, I will go crazy. Senior brother can't bear it anymore. Think about it, it's better for junior brother to stay here. As a housekeeper in the capital, I must let this little brat practice next time.
xx, x month 12th
Haha, I finally got something, a precious medicine! Don't worry, you need to observe it for two days.
...
Northeast Yellowstone Mountain, a canyon in the primeval forest.
Cheng Yunying and his senior brothers lay on the left and right in the dense grass, staring closely at the boulder twenty meters away. A cave as thick as a wooden barrel was hidden underneath. A wild flower swayed gently in the wind among the wild grass next to the cave. There are seven small red flowers and three budding flower buds standing underneath. The petals are bright red, like flames swaying in the wind.
Baby, at least 500-year-old ginseng, as long as you get it successfully, you won't need it for several years. Cheng Yunying trembled slightly with excitement.
Qian Yunshan on the other side was much calmer, and Jiang Huang's face was extremely calm. This ginseng was definitely a treasure, but it should not be acted upon rashly. Normally, this elixir would be guarded by raptors and beasts. If he were not careful, he would be Life has to be taken into account.
Qian Yunshan frowned and looked up at the dark cloudy sky: "We can't wait any longer. There has been no movement at the entrance of the cave for two days. It is the rainy season now. Looking at these thick clouds, I am afraid they will not stop raining. It must be We have to leave this canyon as soon as possible.
Qian Yushan gestured to his junior brother. Cheng Yunying had been impatient for a long time. He hurriedly took out a sleeping hare from his backpack, took out a red pill and shook it in front of the rabbit's nose, then gently put the hare on it. on the ground.
The hare opened his eyes and was blinded for a few seconds, then he suddenly reacted. The animal's instinct made him feel an inexplicable panic, and he kicked off his hind legs and ran forward.
Cheng Yunying's right hand shook slightly behind him. An almost transparent silk thread was tied to the hare's body. It was made from the silk of the sky spider domesticated in the door. It was extremely tough and completely transparent.
Cheng Yunying controlled his strength, and the hare stumbled to the entrance of the cave, scurrying back and forth, but couldn't stay within a few meters. Half an hour passed, and there was no movement at the entrance of the cave. Both of them were a little anxious.
"Chirp!" Suddenly there was a thin cry from the entrance of the cave, and a furry head stuck out with white fur and two small ears. It looked like a fox, a little like a dog, and a little like a squirrel. It was obviously very cute, but I don't know why. There is always something weird about it, with red eyes flashing with cunning and cruelty, and an anthropomorphic sneer on his face, which makes people feel inexplicably nervous.
With the appearance of the monster, there is a faint fragrance in the air, which makes people drowsy.
The monster looked around, then walked out of the cave lightly, raised its front legs, stood upright like a human, and was actually wearing a purple skirt.
What is this? Cheng Yunying and Cheng Yunying both trembled. They had never seen this in all their years in the mountains.
The hare screamed, shook its body, and fell directly to the ground. Its limbs were constantly curled up, and it didn't even have the strength to struggle.
The monster walked over on short legs and poked the rabbit with its paws. The hare couldn't help but scream, and its body almost shrank into a ball.
The monster slowly lowered its head and said, "Sisi Si Si!" It stretched out its tongue to lick the hare. The tongue was long and slender, like a snake's letter. Two rows of sharp and slender fangs were exposed in its mouth. It grabbed the hare with its two front paws and took a bite. Biting on the throat.
Gurgling, the hare's body shriveled up visibly to the naked eye. As the blood drank in, the monster slowly grew taller, and long white hair sprouted from its body.
"Bang!" The hare's body was thrown to the ground, and the monster looked up to the sky and roared, which made Cheng Yunying's ears numb and he couldn't help but scream in surprise.
No, was discovered? Cheng Yunying's heart sank.
The monster suddenly turned around and stared at it with its red eyes. When their eyes met, Cheng Yunying felt that his brain was numb and his whole body was cold.
monster? Cheng Yunying shouted in fright, "Swish, swish, swish!" Instinctively, three flying knives shot out.
"Ah! Junior brother, run quickly."
A scream suddenly came from his ears, and the light around him was distorted, like a mirror being shattered. Cheng Yunying regained consciousness.
Where are the monsters? Qian Yunshan had three flying knives stuck in his chest. He was covered in blood and fell at the entrance of the cave. A thick claw covered with scales was clasped around his waist and he was constantly pulling towards the entrance of the cave.
this? How is this going?
Where are the monsters? Why are all the flying knives stuck in senior brother's body?
Why is he at the entrance of the cave?
Cheng Yunying stood there blankly.
"Sususu!"
At this time, another head stuck out of the hole. It had purple hair and a small cherry mouth under the thin eyebrows. It turned out to be the face of a girl.
The girl smiled slightly at Qian Yunshan, revealing two rows of fangs.
"Yunying, run away?" Qian Yunshan yelled at the top of his lungs, pulled out the machete he carried and slashed wildly at the long claws on his waist and the girl's head.
"Let's go, let's go! If you don't go, we will both die here!"
"No, senior brother, we must stay together to the death!"
Cheng Yunying cried and drew out a knife and rushed over. They were all orphans and grew up together. Their relationship was closer than that of biological brothers.
The girl's head at the entrance of the cave seemed to be irritated, her eyes shot out a cold light, she opened her mouth and bit Qian Yunshan.
A critical moment.
"call!"
A whirlwind blew up on the ground, and a huge pressure dropped from the sky. Cheng Yunying felt that the air became as heavy as mercury, her body dwarfed, and her movements became very slow.
The girl's head and Qian Yunshan also stopped fighting. The three of them looked up at the same time and saw a bolt of lightning flashing through the dark clouds in the sky, striking the mountain opposite.
"Hum!" A horn sounded in the valley, and a golden light broke through the top of the mountain and flew into the sky.
this? This is, this is a dragon?
No? This is impossible?
First a monster appeared, then the senior brother was accidentally injured, and now a dragon appeared?
Cheng Yunying felt as if his head was cracking, and his whole body was about to collapse from this horrific scene. Suddenly, the ground shook under his feet, countless lightnings surged out, and the valley collapsed.
Cheng Yunying rolled down the mud and rocks, and could only hear the shouts of his senior brother and monsters. A flying stone hit him, and his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
When Cheng Yunying woke up, his surroundings were in a mess, and the whole earth was like churning. He didn't care about anything and stumbled back. When he returned to the canyon, the place had been turned upside down, and all the cave entrances and ginseng had disappeared.
Cheng Yunying cried crazily in the valley, but couldn't even find the corner of his senior brother's clothes. Finally, he gritted his teeth and climbed to the top of the mountain where the dragon appeared in his memory. He found nothing, only a white bone inserted into the stone wall.
15th day of x month, XX year
Senior brother, it was me who harmed you, and I am sorry for you.
Cheng Yunying, the 19th generation disciple of Shanshenmen.
…
The diary ends here, and the rest is blank.
"Knife, what's written on it?"
Du Jun looked at it for a long time and didn't understand. Most of it was in traditional Chinese characters.
"It's nothing. I'll tell you when I get back. It's just a story."
I closed my notebook.
"How about it? This is a serious antique. It's up to you. They're all made of real leather. And this chicken is made of sterling silver."
Seeing that I didn't express my position, Liu Han said hurriedly.
"I won't hide it from you, my eldest nephew. I don't let ordinary people see these two things. Someone once offered to buy it for 800, no, 600, but I didn't sell it.
"I wanted to leave it to Qingshan as a family heirloom, but he is already engaged and is waiting for the money. I thought that we should not keep the good things and sell some money to buy him a betrothal gift."
"Dad, are you crazy? How could such a thing happen!" Liu Qingshan's neck was as thick as his face, and he hurriedly interrupted his father.
"Damn it, you know what, is this a real treasure?"
Liu Han was furious.
"Uncle Liu, stop talking! I like these two things very much, that's it!"
"I will give you one thousand yuan, and I will take the things away. The extra two hundred yuan will be my gift to Qingshan."
