Shelo River has it all sorted. Following the path carved out by the walkers, they climbed up the mountain. In the sharp cracks in the stone wall, they used their hands to peel away the vines covering the entrance of the cave, revealing a cave entrance that could accommodate two people.
"I doubt that Mr. Nie's treasure house would be in such a...dirty place." Zheng Xiu looked at the dark hole and said with a twitch in the corner of his eye.
Xie Luohe smiled: "'Nie Gong's treasure house is in Bashan. Isn't this the answer that your great painter Gongsun came up with after he discovered the secret of painting the Holy Four Seasons?" Zheng Xiu sighed softly: "I said it before But, I'm not sure. Now that I'm here, I'm even more doubtful." Xie Luohe shook his head: "As long as it comes, let's take care of it. Everything has come..." Xie Luohe's voice became smaller and smaller. She tied the horse at the foot of the mountain and carried it on her back. There was a bulging suitcase. At this moment, her butt was facing Zheng Xiu, and she was groping for something in the suitcase. Her voice became quieter and quieter, and she stopped talking in the end.
Zheng Xiu knew what Xie Luohe wanted to say. It’s just that I feel unwilling to go and look for it even after I’ve come here.
Xie Luohe took out a bundle of finger-thick hemp rope from her luggage. She tightened it slightly, tested the toughness of the rope, and threw one end towards Zheng Xiu.
Zheng Xiu noticed Xie Luohe's persistence in Gong Nie's treasure house and knew that he could not persuade him. After a moment of silence, he could only warn him: "Be careful."
"Well, be careful." Xie Luohe held the other end of the rope and wrapped it around his wrist for a week.
After a moment of astonishment, Zheng Xiu came back to his senses, pointed at himself with wide eyes, and looked incredulous: "Wait, it's me who's going down?!" Xie Luohe nodded matter-of-factly: "What else?" Shall I go down? Are you willing? If I were trapped inside and died of hunger and thirst, your Fengbei would never come back. "
"I, he..." Zheng Xiu broke through his defense instantly.
"Um?"
"nothing."
"You're so kind." Xie Luohe praised and put the arrow that was a little exposed back into the quiver. Zheng Xiu reluctantly tied the thick rope tightly around his waist, stepped on the protrusions on the stone wall, climbed down carefully, and entered the cave.
The cave was more spacious than Zheng Xiu imagined, but the light was extremely poor. After a while, when Zheng Xiu looked up, he could no longer see the entrance. In addition, it was dark outside and there was no light.
Zheng Xiu groped in the dark and followed the cave for about a few feet, then suddenly slapped his forehead and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.
After staying in the world of paintings for a long time, Zheng Xiu gradually forgot about himself
The specialness of the "foreign people" leaves the magical arts behind. Today, he is not only a [prisoner], but also an upright [painter].
Well, great painter. Zheng Xiu was hanging in the air by the thick rope around his waist. He kicked his legs and used the inertia to swing the rope. After swinging a few times, Zheng Xiu hit the stone wall.
After several attempts, Zheng Xiu finally grasped the crack in the stone wall and clung to the stone wall like a gecko.
"Nerd, are you safe?" Xie Luohe's worried voice came from above. It echoed several times, forming a hollow echo in the cave and reaching Zheng Xiu's ears.
When no one else is around, Xie Luohe always likes to call Zheng Xiu
"bookworm".
"Haha, I can't die!" Zheng Xiu replied angrily, and ignored Xie Luohe. He took the Luohe pen from his waist, bit his finger, stained it with some blood, touched the black, and relied on the painter's touch. Painted a lamp on the stone wall
"Candlestick". …With the words on the stone wall
"Blood Ink" twisted and squirmed for a while, and the flames suddenly
It was "alive", swaying, emitting a faint bloody light, illuminating all around Zheng Xiu.
"It's done." Zheng Xiu grinned. The painter's joy is so unpretentious. Maybe I can draw something else in the future.
The [Painter] path seems to be less lethal, but it is extremely malleable. Zheng Xiu likes to take the [Painter] path more and more.
I don’t know what this path will turn into in the end.
"What did you do?" Xie Luohe noticed the faint bloody light in the cave and asked doubtfully.
"Hahahaha! I drew a lamp!" Zheng Xiu continued to climb down and replied with a laugh.
"Don't forget, you are using a Luohe pen." Hearing the pride in Zheng Xiu's words, Xie Luohe reminded him.
"Thank you, don't be arrogant." Zheng Xiu lowered his voice. Zheng Xiu was speechless, and Xie Luohe's words instantly revealed his true nature as a bandit.
"If you scold me again, let me go. Humph, I'll throw you to death. That's all. I don't need to look for Mr. Nie's treasure house anymore." Xie Luohe's voice came slowly.
Zheng Xiu immediately shut up, did not dare to speak anymore, and just continued to be a miner. Every once in a while, Zheng Xiu would draw a lamp on the stone wall, and he would draw more while the wounds on his fingers were not healed.
Although Zheng Xiu experienced ghosts many times,
In the process of "reopening", he was no longer afraid of pain and death, but looking at the five fingers that were bitten and miserable, Zheng Xiu wanted to cry without tears. It was very painful for the good scholar's hands to become like this.
Finally, Zheng Xiu reached the end. The cave was not as deep as Zheng Xiu imagined. A lamp was painted on the wall to provide light. Zheng Xiu frowned and relaxed after seeing the scenery at the bottom clearly.
Moon on the branches. Zheng Xiu crawled out of the cave with a disgraceful face. Looking at Xie Luohe's expectant eyes, Zheng Xiu slowly shook his head.
In the darkness, Xie Luohe's bright eyes dimmed slightly, and she was seen biting her lower lip, with a bit of disbelief on her face, and asked: "What is there?" Zheng Xiu patted the ashes on his body and said helplessly: "Six skeletons, dead. It's been a long time. The clothes have long been rotten. Maybe he was a hiker who came to hunt for treasures. He slipped and fell to death. There is nothing else but the corpse." Zheng Xiu described it so clearly that Xie Luohe could only believe it if he didn't believe it.
She raised her head and glanced at the night, silent, then took a gentle breath and was about to say something.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xiu predicted Xie Luohe this time. Before she could speak, Zheng Xiu said with a straight face: "Xiao Tao is still in the inn." Xie Luohe's expression was startled and he looked at Zheng Xiu's serious face.
Xie Luohe quickly looked away, covering the right side of his face with his long hair, and said softly: "Then, go back." Both of them were quiet on the way back and didn't say anything.
Zheng Xiu once again felt that something was wrong with Xie Luohe, except for the obvious
Apart from "anxiety", Zheng Xiu couldn't think of anything else for a while. When they arrived at the inn, the watchman was banging a gong in the street next door. Xie Luohe jumped up, opened the window and entered the room.
At first Zheng Xiu didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he trotted to the door, Xie Luohe's laughter came from the closed door: "It's late at night, please come back, this anxious young man." Xiaotao lowered her voice and said urgently: "Miss, it's getting so late. If you let the young master sleep on the street..."...
"Why are you... rustling..."
"Squeeze..."
"You..." The master and servant were arguing inside, and in the end Xiao Tao's mouth was covered. It's obviously the room opened by me!
The money I spent!
"Bandit! Bandit! The gangster nature will not change!" Although Zheng Xiu had no intention of doing anything, he was always unhappy that the room was occupied, so he left with a curse.
Fortunately, it wasn't too cold tonight, so Zheng Xiu found a sheltered roof on the roadside and stayed the night until dawn.
Early the next morning, Zheng Xiu felt someone slapping him on the face. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Xie Luohe was squatting in front of Zheng Xiu with a smile, still wearing the same outfit as Feng Bei, with black gloves on her hands.
The sky was gray and misty, and the heavy moisture condensed into clouds of mist that could not be blown away on the street. On the street corner, Zheng Xiu was curled up miserably, with crystal clear dew on his hair.
When Zheng Xiu stood up and wiped the dew off his body with sleepy eyes, the sound of cockcrows could be heard in the city. When Zheng Xiu heard this, he said angrily: "You actually got up earlier than the chickens." Xie Luohe smiled, pointed in the direction of the stable, and pulled Zheng Xiu towards the stable.
On the way, Xie Luohe was afraid that Zheng Xiu would be worried and said that Xiaotao was getting better after taking the medicine and there was no need to worry. Zheng Xiu knew that Xie Luohe would not joke about this kind of thing, so he sighed lightly and followed Xie Luohe out of the city.
Horseback riding, out of the city, up the mountain, down the cave. Five days in a row. The landscape of Bashan Mountain is far more complicated than Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe initially thought. They visited seven caves in the past five days, but found nothing.
On the sixth day, two expected guests came to visit. It's Cheng Xiao and Bai Xiaosheng. Cheng Xiao was still dressed like a down-and-out knight, wearing a thick cloak, his hair was messy, and his pale face was in sharp contrast with the black scabbard in his arms.
After several days of struggle, Zheng Xiu could not stand up before the rooster crows even to death. This morning, he and Xie Luohe were drinking porridge at the same table in the inn, and Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Xiao sat down.
"Four meat buns." Cheng Xiaoku ordered a breakfast. Then he looked at Zheng Xiu: "I don't have any money."
"You still eat so much without money?" Zheng Xiu glared at Cheng Xiao. Soon the meat buns arrived, and Cheng Xiao ate them with big mouthfuls.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at Xie Luohe and Zheng Xiu respectively with a smile but not a smile.
"Have you found the entrance to the treasure house?" Xie Luohe frowned. Zheng Xiu was not surprised that Bai Xiaosheng knew that they were going to the mountains and caves every day these days.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng winking and looking like he didn't deserve a beating, Zheng Xiu pondered for a moment and then laughed dumbly: "Do you know where the entrance is?" When Bai Xiaosheng heard this, he shook his head and looked very proud.
Xie Luohe opened his brows and said, "Say." Bai Xiaosheng snorted twice. Xie Luohe smiled slightly and slowly pressed his palms on the table.
Card. The wooden table cracked, and when Xie Luohe raised his palm, a clear palm print was left on the table.
"Ahem." Bai Xiaosheng said immediately: "Don't worry, am I, Bai Xiaosheng, a person who forgets his integrity when he sees wealth?" Zheng Xiu added with a smile: "It's hard to say." Bai Xiaosheng glared at Zheng Xiu took a look and took out a sheepskin map from his arms. The map was covered with mildew spots, and he could tell it was old at a glance.
Zheng Xiu curiously took the map from Bai Xiaosheng's hand. The year number was written on the lower right corner. Zheng Xiu looked at it and was stunned for a moment: "The map of Yanzhou from the previous dynasty? Jiang Fatty, where did you find it?"...
"I have my own way!" Bai Xiaosheng proudly pointed to a place near Bashan Mountain on the map and knocked: "Can you see the clues?" Xie Luohe's eyes fell. After a moment, Xie Luohe's eyes lit up: "Previous During the imperial court, was there a river here?" Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "I actually arrived nearby two days ago. I learned that you two were alone, a man and a woman, and went up the mountain to the cave, so I didn't bother you. After I got this ancient map, Comparing it with the history books, I noticed a coincidence from the few words in the history books." Cheng Xiao finished eating the four meat buns, then straightened his face again, holding the black scabbard and listening quietly.
"Hey, you don't know if you don't check. After checking, I discovered a huge secret. Decades ago, there was a flood in Yanzhou. At that time, there were countless casualties and it was tragic..." Bai Xiaosheng kept talking. .
"Tell me the important point." Xie Luohe's eyes narrowed with murderous intent.
"...At that time, it was said that the person responsible for Yanzhou's fight against floods was Nie Gong. You said that Nie Gong was a corrupt official and had to go to remote mountainous areas to fight against floods." Bai Xiaosheng paused and narrowed his eyes: "Unless he was a corrupt official back then. The Ministry of Works' allocation for flood control is huge and profitable, otherwise, what do you think Nie Gong is trying to do?"
"Let's go!" Upon hearing this, Xie Luohe rolled up the ancient map, rushed out like a gust of wind, and disappeared at the door of the inn in the blink of an eye.
"My ancient picture!" Bai Xiao was anxious, but he looked at the palm prints on the table and did not dare to get angry. Zheng Xiu had no choice but to look at Cheng Xiao and Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng wondered: "Is the treasure hidden in Mr. Nie's treasure house really so tempting?"
"Maybe." The three of them chased after him and rode out of the city. Near noon, we arrived near Bashan. On the way, Zheng Xiu was thinking about the problem of Duke Nie's treasure house.
No wonder he and Xieluohe went to the cave every day and found nothing. It turned out to be the wrong direction. From the beginning, Nie Gong's treasure house was not hidden in the mountains of Bashan, but underground.
Bai Xiaosheng relied on his memory to come to the area where the river used to be. The ground is undulating. If you look at it from above, you can vaguely see a river bed, which is covered with shrubs and piles of gravel. If you didn't know in advance that this place was a river many years ago, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference just from the topography. Get clear.
There was no road ahead. The three of them saw the horses coming from Xieluohe tied to the trunk of the tree, so they could only dismount and walk. boom!
boom! boom! A hundred steps apart, Zheng Xiu and the others felt an earthquake coming from ahead. On the top of the mountain, pieces of rock peeled off due to violent vibrations and fell downwards.
"Xie Luohe!" Zheng Xiu was startled, quickened his pace, and sprinted to the end of the river bed. Cheng Xiao and Bai Xiaosheng were faster. Cheng Xiao even glanced back at Zheng Xiu curiously, frowning as if he was wondering why the man who broke his sword with a slap was so weak in Qinggong.
A figure flew up and down, hitting the steep stone wall crazily. Xie Luohe looked crazy, and when he took out his palm, sand flew and rocks flew, and strong winds blew up.
After Cheng Xiao and Bai Xiao were born, Xie Luohe did not hesitate to expose her biggest secret. Black lines instantly covered her body, and black shadows loomed behind her. At this moment, her posture was like a demon, which was extremely terrifying.
"What the hell is she!" Bai Xiaosheng, who wrote the "Weapons Manual", looked at Xie Luohe who was hitting the mountain wall crazily in horror. The terrifying posture frightened Bai Xiaosheng to sit on the ground, his eyes distracted. , kicking his legs forward, and his buttocks constantly moving back, as if instinctively escaping from the name in front of him.
The ferocious beast of "Xieluo River". Even Cheng Xiao has always been calm and calm.
There was also a rare and obvious fluctuation on the "dead man's face", bang! Cheng Xiao opened his mouth but couldn't close it, and the scabbard fell from his arms to the ground.
boom! boom! boom! Xie Luohe was still frantically attacking the stone wall. Seeing that just a pair of fleshy palms was not efficient, Xie Luohe sneered and took off the long bow from his back. His technique was as fast as lightning. Zheng Xiu didn't even see what Xie Luohe was doing. Twelve arrows were set on the stone wall at the same time. on the bowstring of the Serlo River.
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock. Red blood dripped along the arc of the long bow. Zheng Xiu, who was dumbfounded, noticed that Xie Luohe's gloves had long been worn out, and his flesh was covered with blood.
As if she felt no pain at all, she drew the bow to full capacity. The twelve arrows were silently covered with a layer of black light, and Xie Luohe's long hair blew automatically without the wind.
The long hair that had been covering his right eye was fluttering in the wind.
"Xie Luohe! That's enough!" There is definitely something wrong with Xie Luohe's mentality at this moment. Zheng Xiu didn't know why. Looking at this crazy gesture, Xie Luohe suddenly felt as if his chest was being grabbed by a hand, causing a dull pain.
He rushed forward, hugged Xie Luohe tightly from behind, and said loudly: "That's enough! Xie Luo He! That's enough!" Xie Luo He was shocked.
The tightened bow string was slightly loosened, and Xie Luohe stared blankly at the jagged stone wall in front of him. Long hair falls down again.
Zheng Xiu didn't see it. In Xie Luohe's right eye,
The word "Ding Wei" disappeared in a flash. ld
