Immortal Fate: Create thousands of secret treasures at your fingertips
Chapter 4 Treasure Hunting by Destined People
In the early morning, the morning sun is in full bloom and its light shines.
It’s another new day, when all things are flourishing, but for the handymen of the Jinyang Gang, a boring and busy day is about to begin. This kind of day that can be seen all the way to the end makes people feel unmotivated, but at the same time Nothing can be done.
All handymen want to move up, but due to their background, this idea is just a luxury.
But for Zheng Wu and Ji Hong, this day brought them a surprise.
There was no other reason. Since the last time they got five taels of silver and two Tiger Bone Yijin Pills from the second floor of the library, the two of them had hoped that such a good thing could happen again, and today, they made a new discovery.
After getting up from the busboy's bunk, washing up, and eating gruel and coarse grass seed cakes, the two of them were ready to start a new day's work as usual.
But as soon as he walked out of the service room, he saw a piece of rag at the root of a tree.
The two looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
I still remember the last time, the two of them saw something similar in the same place. Out of curiosity, they stepped forward to take a second look and saw some scattered writing on it. After inspection and analysis, they finally came up with the location on the second floor of the library. There is a treasure for this answer.
It was precisely because of this that they were able to get such benefits on the second floor of the library. They did not expect that the same thing would happen again in less than three days.
Quietly, Zheng Wu stepped forward to pick up the rag and stuffed it into his arms without looking at it. Then the two of them started their normal work as usual, as if by accident.
As handymen, the two of them spend most of their time in tedious work. However, no matter how arduous the work is, they can always find free time after they become veterans. In Lu Shi's previous life, people like this were called old fritters. And obviously, both Zheng Wu and Ji Hong are such old fritters.
The former is considered a smart person, clever and bold, while the latter has been studying in a private school for several years and has broadened his horizons. This is why these two people were chosen by Lu Shi.
In his free time, Zheng Wu opened the piece of rag he picked up. Ji Hong watched closely and saw some unsystematic handwriting written on it. However, based on their experience, they were able to contain it in a short time. clues were extracted.
"There is a treasure on the first floor of the library!"
The two looked at each other again, and both could see surprise in each other's eyes.
"Stay calm first. We'll go to the library in the afternoon. We happen to have work there in the afternoon." Zheng Wu whispered.
Ji Hong nodded silently. Both of them knew what they should do. They had the experience last time, and naturally they would not cause any accidents due to excitement this time.
The five taels of silver and two tiger bone Yijin Pills they received last time were a windfall for the two of them, but what they value more is the two tiger bone Yijin Pills, which cost ten taels of silver each. Honey, if they can find martial arts skills, the two of them will have the possibility of improving their status.
No one wants to work as a handyman all the time. Even if they become the most ordinary gangster, life will be much better than now.
……
Time came to the afternoon in a blink of an eye. Zheng Wu and Ji Hong came to the library. The cleaning work here was done every day. On weekdays, it was arranged by the steward, and the handymen came here in turn. Of course, there were also people responsible for it, such as Lu Shi. , his work is easier than other handymen, and the library is his special responsibility.
It's just that he usually comes more in the morning, leaving space for Zheng Wu and Ji Hong to come here in the afternoon.
The two of them were cleaning carefully while observing their surroundings from time to time. Soon, Zheng Wu discovered an inconspicuous mark on a row of bookshelves.
There was a short strip of cloth sandwiched between the pages of an ancient book, half of it exposed, like a bookmark. It was difficult to attract attention, but when it fell in Zheng Wu's eyes, he was pleasantly surprised.
Because the bookmark-shaped cloth strip had the same texture as the cloth strip he picked up in the morning, it was obvious that the cloth strip sandwiched in the ancient book was a clue.
He gave Ji Hong a wink, and the latter understood it. The two of them unknowingly moved to the row of bookshelves. Zheng Wuzhuangruo casually took down the ancient book, patted it carefully with a clean rag, then opened it and took it out. The cloth strip sandwiched in it.
Ji Hong took it and unfolded it, then quickly put the cloth away and nodded to Zheng Wu.
The latter put the ancient books back on the bookshelf, and the two continued their work and gradually left here.
"Did you find anything?" Zheng Wu asked.
Ji Hong nodded and spoke quietly.
"A tree crosses the field."
Zheng Wu was a little confused, frowning and thinking.
This kind of thing that requires the use of the brain is obviously beyond his ability.
Fortunately, Ji Hong quickly gave the answer.
"It's an east character."
Zheng Wu reacted quickly, with an uncontrollable joy on his face.
"East, right?"
Ji Hong nodded.
Then he looked to the east at the same time. On the far east side was the wall. There was nothing on it except some calligraphy and paintings. Instead, there were potted flowers and plants in the corner as decoration.
"Looking east from the row of bookshelves just now, you can only see that painting."
In the direction of Zheng Wu's finger, there was a picture of an orchid on the wall.
"orchid?"
Ji Hong frowned.
Zheng Wu thought of something and asked hurriedly: "How to write orchid for orchid?"
Ji Hong thought for a while, found a copybook from the bookshelf, rummaged through it for a moment, pointed to one of the characters and said, "That's the character."
Although Zheng Wu has never read a book, he knows Braille to some extent, but he can only read some common characters at most, and he can't even read them all.
"Caomendong, these three characters combined together are the character "LAN", right?" Zheng Wu asked.
"It's not Caomendong, but Caomenjian..."
When Ji Hong came here, he reacted instantly: "There is grass on the east side of the door!"
Hearing this, the two of them immediately looked at the potted flowers and plants in the corner, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at each other again, the two of them had a hunch that the place they were looking for might be there, so they put the copybooks away, quickly calmed down, and then started cleaning again.
But this time, they both deliberately moved towards the potted flowers and plants, pretending to be cleaning hard, and cast their eyes behind the potted plants, and immediately saw a small person hiding behind them. pack.
This time, the two of them were naturally very surprised, but they had not forgotten where they were at this moment, so they were even more careful.
Soon, Zheng Wu took away the small package and quickly walked to the corner on the first floor blocked by the bookshelf.
Ji Hong looked outside and quickly followed without hesitation.
In the corner, the two people carefully opened the cloth bag and saw clearly what was stored inside.
Twenty taels of silver, two small porcelain bottles, a thin booklet, and two small medicine bags that smell of medicine.
The two of them looked ecstatic. Ji Hong quickly opened the booklet, and then his heart skipped a beat.
"What is this?" Zheng Wu asked hurriedly.
Ji Hong swallowed his saliva carefully, took a deep breath and said, "It's a martial arts secret book!"
"Secrets!?"
"Keep your voice down!"
Ji Hong hurriedly said: "I took a look and found out that this martial art is called the Strengthening Breathing and Breathing Technique. If you practice it successfully, you can increase your strength by a thousand kilograms. But I don't know if you can develop true energy."
Zheng Wu said: "What are you thinking about? Those who can practice true energy are all true skills. How could they appear here?"
"makes sense."
Ji Hong said, opening the booklet again, and then noticed the handwriting on the last page, and suddenly frowned.
"No, this body-building breathing skill is available for sale in the martial arts hall of the gang. If we want to practice it, we must not let other people in the gang know about it!"
When Zheng Wu heard this, his heart sank.
"In this case, wouldn't we be unable to practice this martial art?"
"No, there is still a way. If we use these twenty taels of silver to go to the Martial Arts Hall and buy this martial art, then we..."
Ji Hong didn't finish the rest of his words, but Zheng Wu already understood what he meant.
"Just do it!"
The two of them knew very well what would happen if they secretly learned the martial arts skills from the gang, and the consequences would definitely not be something that the two handymen could bear.
And now, with the twenty taels of silver they found this time, they already had enough money to buy this martial art. This way, you don’t have to worry about safety issues.
Ji Hong hurriedly opened two more porcelain bottles, and a faint medicinal fragrance suddenly appeared.
"It's Tiger Bone Yijin Pills again, four more!"
The two looked at each other, both excited.
"And this, it's medicine for medicinal baths. Who left these things here?"
Ji Hong was thinking a lot, and he just felt that maybe the actions of the two of them had fallen into the eyes of someone who was interested.
But Zheng Wu said: "Whatever, we have reached this point, we have no other choice but to practice martial arts!"
Ji Hong thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. Whoever left such a handwriting must have hoped that the two of them could practice this martial art.
At this point, even if someone really has thoughts on the two of them, the two of them have no other choice.
"Hurry up and pack up. Let's pack things separately. Don't let others see it. I don't need to say more about the consequences, right?" Ji Hong said.
"I see!"
Zheng Wu also nodded solemnly.
Then, the two quickly packed up.
At the same time, Lu Shi, who was chopping firewood in another place, paused slightly in his movements, feeling the message from Ruyi Daoguo in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect that we would be found so quickly. Those two guys did a really good job!"
