Arriving at the cave above the cave, Gu Shengchao thought about the doubts he had when he came in last time. There was no daylight and it was supposed to be completely dark here. However, everyone's figure was vaguely distinguishable, and it was not that dark.
He searched carefully, but could not see where the light came from. Just when he was puzzled, the light in the cave suddenly dimmed.
Gu Shengchao turned around to check, and the cave was as bright as before.
Strange, what is the reason?
He noticed that when the brightness changed just now, both he and Shui Linglong stood still, except Lu Jin who leaned against the cave wall and stayed for a moment.
Could that be the problem?
Gu Shengchao walked over and observed that the walls of this cave were all white. He had knocked them with his hands when he passed by here just now. They were all hard rocks.
At this moment, he tentatively opened his palms and moved them back and forth on the cave wall. When he moved to the height of his chest, the cave suddenly became dark.
The ancient sage was surprised. He tapped the small piece with his knuckles. The sound was clear and thin, not as thick as elsewhere.
"The stones here also have the effect of astigmatism." Ancient Sage said curiously.
Shui Linglong also tried to do it in the past and exclaimed: "Ordinary stones can only block light. This stone can allow light to pass through and then be reflected out. It is really rare."
Only then did everyone understand the reason why they couldn't find the light source. They all made a mistake at the same time, thinking that the light source must be single, like candlelight.
However, the light in the cave is reflected by the stone wall as a whole. Even if you see the stone wall that is shiny all over, you will think that the light from elsewhere has hit here, and you will find it harder to find it if you look in the opposite direction.
The three of them observed the cave walls on both sides while walking. Shui Linglong reflected: "I originally thought that Gu Hailian and the others hid here to avoid me. Later I found out that she was the second master of Black Dragon Island. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became. They should have come here." There is a plan. It was only because I came to disrupt their plan that they staged a ruse to deceive us. In this case, there must be something fishy about this place, and we need to look for it carefully."
In order to see carefully, the three of them took out the fire breakers they carried with them. The flames ignited by the fire breakers made it easier to see the subtle differences.
Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong were about to reach the waterfall but still found nothing. When they turned around, they saw Lu Jin standing behind, staring at the stone wall in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Shui Linglong returned to hold her, lest she be alone and miss her hometown and relatives.
"Look here." Lu Jin raised the fire seal and said: "Our gang also has many islands on the sea as landing places and transfer stations. We often use naturally formed caves to store goods. Generally, the cave walls are uneven, because the wet stone walls will be covered with a layer of There is a layer of moss, but this is an anomaly.”
Gu Shengchao and Shui Linglong looked in the direction of Lu Jin's finger and found something abnormal. The stone wall was not only smooth but also very clean, with only a few water droplets condensed on it.
The three of them searched carefully, and Lu Jin suddenly heard a "yeah" sound. Because he was too close to the stone wall, he was hit on the head by a protruding stone above.
"You're not injured, are you?" Gu Shengchao was about to go over to check if he was injured. There was a "boom" sound, and the stone wall next to him suddenly rose, and a dark stone cave appeared.
The three of them were all startled, fearing that there was a hidden weapon or mechanism, and they quickly retreated backwards.
After waiting for a long time but no movement, Gu Shengchao used his iron arm magic to protect himself and went to explore the road alone.
He held up the fire folder and went in. Inside was an ordinary stone chamber carved by hand. There were many books placed on one side of the wall, and the rest of the space was filled with gold and silver jewelry, which shone brightly under the firelight.
Seeing that there was no danger, Gu Shengchao called Shui Linglong and Lu Jin over.
"Get rich!" Seeing so many gold and silver treasures, Lu Jin couldn't put it down. She turned around and saw the two people turning a blind eye to them, browsing on the bookshelf on the other side, and went over to browse with a guilty conscience.
Most of the bookshelf contained ordinary martial arts atlases, including boxing, kicking, and moves with weapons such as swords, guns, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks. There were no legendary and shocking martial arts secret books. She read more than a dozen books in dismay, and secretly observed the two people. , I felt relieved when I saw that they also picked up the book, flipped through it and threw it aside.
beside
The books on the bookshelf had colorful covers. Lu Jin curiously picked up one and flipped through it.
On every page, there were naked men and women doing some actions. The innocent Lu Jin was confused at first, and the more he looked back, the more he understood. Finally, he suddenly woke up, threw away the book, blushed and jumped away: "It's so embarrassing, how good they are. "
Shui Linglong saw her embarrassed look, walked over, picked up the book and opened it, her pink face suddenly turned red.
After all, she was the elder of Yunqi Palace. Although she was never married, her knowledge and experience were much better than Lu Jin's. She immediately understood what the patterns in the book meant.
"What's wrong?" Gu Shengchao saw their anxious expressions and leaned over to watch.
Shui Linglong closed the book instantly and said shyly: "No one can read it, this book is poisonous."
"If you don't want to read, don't read. What good books can be found in a pirate's den?" Gu Shengchao guessed that there must be bad things in it. He glanced at the books with colorful covers on the bookshelf and took one out and held it in his hand.
He just read a page and immediately understood why they were shy. It turned out that the pictures on it were all about erotic pictures between men and women.
"You are not allowed to read them." Shui Linglong saw the clues and stepped forward to snatch them away. She ordered: "These books are filthy and should be burned. They should never be shown to anyone."
In an instant, Shui Linglong regained her identity as an elder, and her unquestionable majesty revealed a chilling air.
Both Gu Shengchao and Lu Jin felt strong murderous intent and involuntarily moved away from the bookshelf.
The Shui Linglong Fire Zhezi ignited the books on the bottom floor, and the flames spread upwards and the cave began to heat up. The three of them hid outside.
"Bang!"
"Snapped!"
The stone wall could not withstand the heat of the flames and kept cracking, and gravel kept ejecting from the hole.
When the smoke dissipated, the three of them walked in cautiously again, holding the fire folders. The original bookshelf no longer existed, it had been blackened, and the ground was littered with small pebbles.
Fortunately, real gold is not afraid of fire, and this temperature will not damage gold and silver jewelry.
Gu Shengchao asked the two of them to stay behind to avoid plundering by the fishermen on the island. He returned to the boat on the shore, and first went back to the government office to order all the officers and soldiers to get ready and board the boat, and commanded more than a dozen large and small boats to come to the island.
Bamboo ladders were set up in the cave at the bottom to make it easier to get up and down. While registering, all the jewelry was carried to the boat.
After all the jewels were on board, Gu Shengchao left on the last boat.
It was dusk now, and the sunset was setting against the sea. The sky and water were all beautiful.
The boat Shui Linglong and Lu Jin were on was in the middle of the team. They sat on the bow and looked into the distance.
"It's so beautiful!" Shui Linglong admired sincerely.
"It's quite beautiful. I don't know where my father and the others are. Don't encounter a storm on the road." Finally free, Lu Jin couldn't help but miss her relatives.
Shui Linglong smiled and said, "Actually, sister, you don't have to wrong yourself so much. I know Brother Shengchao best. You should have returned to your parents."
"But, but..." Lu Jin mumbled a few times, then lowered his head and said with a hint of sadness, "I really can't go back."
"Just because you kissed him to save us and ventilate him?" Shui Linglong asked tentatively.
"That's not entirely true." Lu Jin looked at the sunset and said, "It's true that Brother Gu is the only man I've kissed besides my parents, but if I go back, I have to get married. I really don't want to get married now."
"What?" Shui Linglong was stunned.
Lu Jin pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "My mother is not in good health and she borrowed a lot of money for medical treatment. We only agreed to lend us money after we promised the creditor that we would marry his son in the future."
"Is that child disabled?" Shui Linglong asked sympathetically. This was usually the case.
Lu Jin shook his head: "No, we grew up together, practiced kung fu and learned martial arts together. He is very nice, but I just don't like him."
Emotions are so delicate. Only when both parties go for it at the same time can sparks collide. One-sided efforts will never be rewarded.
"But, if they can't see you, will your father be forced to hand over your daughter if he goes back alone?" Shui Ling
Long said worriedly.
Lu Jin sighed with relief and said, "Thanks to meeting Brother Gu, the deputy leader of our Boat Gang wanted to make friends with him. It happened that he had my relationship. He promised us that as long as I stay with Brother Gu, he can guarantee the safety of the Boat Gang and the court." Contact me, the debt my mother owes for medical treatment will be repaid by the boat gang."
Shui Linglong stared at Lu Jin, as if she had gotten to know her again.
This innocent little girl actually hid such a heavy heart.
"Does Brother Shengchao know what my sister just said?" Shui Linglong looked at the ship behind and asked.
"Brother Gu doesn't know yet, and I hope my sister won't tell him either." Lu Jin was worried, but her words were still soft and sweet.
Shui Linglong held her in her arms lovingly: "I promise you, this is our little secret."
Lu Jin stayed away from her parents, and Shui Linglong beside her made her feel a different kind of motherly love. She snuggled into Shui Linglong's arms and whispered softly: "I really thought that a man and a woman would get pregnant if they kissed, but I found out after reading the book today. , I thought wrongly."
"Haha." Shui Linglong laughed and said, "It turns out that our naive sister Lu Jin has also learned bad things. She is not allowed to mention that book again."
Shui Linglong deliberately tickled the itch on her body, which made Lu Jin couldn't help laughing, and her gloomy mood was swept away.
In the next few days, Gu Shengchao was busy reconciling the pirates' treasures one by one and sealing them into the government warehouse. At the same time, he wrote a letter to the emperor explaining the matter and asked the postman to rush over to deliver it.
Shui Linglong was about to return to Xileng Kingdom. She was grateful to Lu Jin for saving her life, and delayed for a few more days to teach Lu Jin the unique dart skills of Yunqi Palace.
Lu Jin is very smart and quickly mastered the basic technique. He can throw out three darts at the same time and hit three different targets respectively.
Seeing that they couldn't keep Shui Linglong, Gu Shengchao hosted a banquet in the restaurant. The three of them drank and had a good time, and Shui Linglong said goodbye.
Looking at her retreating figure, the dust raised by the galloping horse was no longer visible, and Lu Jin reluctantly turned around.
Two lines of hot tears rolled down his cheeks, and he started sobbing quietly.
