At this time, Xiong Ming seemed to be possessed. One moment, he climbed to the top of Jinshan Mountain to get a necklace full of five-color gems. The next moment, he felt that the necklace was not stunning enough, so he went to the other side to get a gold necklace full of dragon patterns. bowl.
But when Xiong Ming picked up the bowl, he felt that it was a bit uninteresting, so he threw it aside and went to pick something more valuable.
People are often like this.
The desire for wealth and greed are innate. When you are faced with a mountain of treasures but cannot take them all away, you will always subconsciously think that the items you have not got are worth more than what you have in your hands.
This may be what the old saying goes, "Eat from the bowl and look at the pot."
Seeing Xiong Ming excitedly picking around in Jinshan, Hua Muling and I didn't say anything, but silently exited the Jinmen.
Seeing that we were about to leave, Xiong Ming was slightly startled and said loudly: "Hey, Hu Tian, why don't you two take it? Can't you see that any one of the items here is enough for ordinary people to take out? Has it been spent all your life?”
I looked at Xiong Ming's eyes that were shining brightly, and said with a wry smile: "Of course I can see it. But, there is a problem..."
Xiong Ming didn't wait for me to finish my words before he rushed to ask: "What is it?"
I sighed and said, "The question is, can we get out alive...?"
"Bah, bah, bah...!" Xiong Ming immediately spat on the ground after hearing what I said, and cursed: "Grandma! Children's words are unbridled, and there are no taboos! Can you, kid, say something nice? You actually said something unlucky. talk!"
However, after what I said, Xiong Ming stopped thinking about picking here and there. After randomly picking up a few items and stuffing them into his homemade package, he hurriedly walked out of the Golden Gate.
After exiting the Golden Gate, I looked at the two of them and asked, "You two went to check those two doors. Is there anything strange?"
Hua Muling shook her head when she heard this. She was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xiong Ming.
Just listening, Xiong Ming pulled his neck and said loudly: "Don't say I found it! Grandma, I didn't even get in the door! I couldn't get the lock on the door open for a long time! I really don't know what happened to you kid! Get this lock opened!"
Hua Muling also nodded and said, "Me too! This lock is too complicated for us. I wonder what the origin of this lock is?"
I smiled and said: "This lock is called Yin Yang Lock, also called Junzi Lock. For those of us who steal the door, this thing is useless."
With that said, the three of us walked straight to the silver door.
Xiong Ming knocked on the sterling silver door with his hand and said, "The back of the golden door is full of gold objects and jewelry, so will the back of this silver door be full of white snowflakes?"
I looked at Xiong Ming and said with a smile: "Why is there money in your eyes?"
Xiong Ming grinned and said, "Isn't this also based on common sense?"
While I was talking, I had already turned the yin and yang lock of the silver door, and with a "click", the silver door opened.
However, to the surprise of all of us, behind this silver door there was no snowflake silver as white as a mountain as Xiong Ming said.
Behind this silver door is actually the living area.
I saw that there was a wooden bed, a large Eight Immortals table, two chairs, a dressing table, a bookcase, and a weird-looking wardrobe inside the room.
In addition to these, there are two people.
The two were already dead and had turned into mummies.
Judging from their clothes, these two people are obviously a man and a woman.
The man was half-lying on the Eight Immortals table, holding a jade wine glass in his hand.
The wine glass is dark red as a whole, with a milky white ripple on the top, like a cow, and it seems to be flowing slowly under the light.
The woman was lying on her side on the wooden bed, with nothing on her body except for a white gauze covering her lower body.
Although she was now a dried skeleton, it could still be seen that she must have been a magnificent beauty during her lifetime.
I walked to the Eight Immortals table, slowly picked up the jade wine cup in the man's hand, put it to my nose and smelled it. Although there was still no wine in the cup, I could still smell the sweet and refreshing smell. .
I took the wine glass in my hand and shook it at Xiong Ming, and then pointed at the extra-large "package" hanging on Xiong Ming's chest.
Xiong Ming didn't know what I was going to do, so he subconsciously covered the package on his body and said, "What are you going to do?"
I smiled and sighed: "Hey, people are not afraid of poverty, they are afraid of being uneducated. Do you know what this is?"
Xiong Ming looked at me and asked in confusion: "What is this? Isn't it just a cup?"
I smiled and said, "Do you know, kid? In ancient times, when wealthy families or dignitaries were buried, they usually believed that jade would be forced into the mouth. If the person had just died, the jade inserted at that time would fall with the air. It enters the throat and enters the upper end of the chest where blood vessels are densely packed. After thousands of years of changes in the tomb, the blood of the buried person penetrates into the texture of the jade, and the blood threads reach the heart of the jade, forming a thousand-year blood jade."
Xiong Ming heard what I said and asked in surprise: "Blood jade?"
I nodded and said, "Yes! This kind of blood jade is very rare. Basically, if there is one in ten thousand, it is considered a lot! Therefore, for so many years, there has been a saying in the collecting world, called 'ancient Jade hanging red is priceless'."
I glanced at the jade wine glass in my hand, and then slowly continued: "The 'blood jade' that is as red as blood refers to the secondary color of jade formed in the tomb, commonly known as Qin color, also known as 'corpse jade'. Ancient', is the best Qin color and is loved by collectors. Of course, some people call it 'Xueqin'. And how valuable is this kind of Xueqin? Simply put! What's in your package will be appreciated by the whole family. Together, multiply it by ten and it’s almost done!”
After hearing what I said, Xiong Ming stared at the blood jade cup in my hand with wide eyes, swallowed, and said after a while: "Good guy, this thing is so valuable!"
I laughed and said, "What if you don't study or read newspapers? You don't know anything!"
"Come on, come on! Let me see this treasure!" Xiong Ming said, reaching out to take the jade cup in my hand.
As a result, I slapped his hand aside and said, "You have such a rough hands and feet, I broke it!"
After saying that, I put the blood jade cup into my arms.
Seeing that I didn't show it to him, Xiong Ming suddenly became anxious and said loudly: "Hey, you kid is planning to eat alone! I'm telling you! Everyone who sees it has a share, so don't fucking plan on such a good thing. Take it all to yourself!”
I rolled my eyes at Xiong Ming, but before I could say anything, Hua Muling on the side suddenly said, "Come and take a look, there is a letter here!"
Hearing what Hua Muling said, Xiong Ming and I stopped arguing about the blood jade cup and turned to look towards the wooden bed.
At this moment, Hua Muling had already pulled out a yellowed letter from under the pillow of the female corpse.
I walked forward quickly and took the envelope from Hua Muling's hand.
Although this letter is old, it is quite well preserved.
I carefully opened the envelope, pulled out the letter inside and unfolded it. Suddenly, rows of beautiful handwriting came into view, obviously written by the woman on the bed.
I slowly unfolded the letter and read it carefully.
“I know that for a long time to come, someone will find this place.
Although this place looks very mysterious, for those who have always wanted to find it, this place is nothing at all, especially for the descendants of the Hu family.
When you enter here, you may wonder who am I? Who is he?
His name is Hu Yiquan, a famous general in the Tang army.
And I am a nameless person, you can call me Yan'er.
I have been here with General Hu for many years.
As for why we came here, it was mainly to protect something here to prevent it from seeing the light of day again.
Perhaps, you will ask what is that thing?
To be honest, I don't know either.
I just knew that that thing would undergo wonderful changes after meeting the red water. General Hu would go back to check it every once in a while, but every time he would not allow me to get close.
At first, we lived quite comfortably here, but as time passed, General Hu began to have very strange changes.
This change not only occurred in his heart, but also appeared in his body.
One time when I was bathing and changing his clothes, I discovered that there were cuticles on his back that looked like tree bark. I was very scared at the time, but General Hu told me that it was a gift from God.
I didn't care at first, but as time gradually passed, General Hu became irritable and even liked to eat raw meat. From that moment on, I knew that things were beyond his control.
I warned him several times, but General Hu seemed to be crazy and refused to listen. He even became furious because of my warning and beat me up.
After that, General Hu disappeared for many days. It was not until five days later that he came back from outside.
But what scares me is that this time he didn't come back alone, he also brought back an extra-large coffin.
He wouldn't let me see what was inside the coffin, but he just sealed it behind the copper door.
Maybe there was a gap between us. After that, General Hu and I talked less and less, but General Hu didn't seem to care at all. He spent more time shutting himself behind the copper door, as if he was studying something.
I didn't want to disturb him, so I lived alone in this claustrophobic space.
Time passed, and General Hu began not to eat or drink, and became increasingly thinner. However, he seemed to be extremely excited. He often said that he had found the secret of eternal life, and clamored to get out of here and tell this secret to the current Holy Emperor. .
I knew he was obsessed.
But even so, I couldn't speak, let alone how to stop it.
Until one night, General Hu suddenly pushed me awake.
When I woke up from my dream, I felt frightened when I saw General Hu with a frightened look on his face. I was about to scream, but General Hu was stopped.
General Hu handed me a dagger and asked me to kill him.
Naturally, I refused to obey, but General Hu repeatedly asked me to kill him. He said that he had been brainwashed by that thing, and he would be unable to extricate himself if he continued like this.
Therefore, when he is awake, let me get rid of him and leave a message instructing future generations, especially the descendants of the Hu family, not to touch that thing. As for what that thing is, he didn't say it, and neither did I. I know, I just know that it is an iron tool divided into upper and lower parts.
I won’t go into details about what happens next. You may have understood everything by the time you read this letter.
When General Hu left this world, I followed him. "
