Strange Tale of Qingluan

Without saying a word, Su Zhongming walked towards the Shimen. At the same time, Li Xuan also clenched the hilt of his sword, and fixed his eyes on Shangyuan Hexiang to prevent the woman from attacking him.

He stopped walking and lit the round hole on the stone door with a torch. Su Zhongming then slowly pushed the end of the Qingyun staff into the hole, and tried to push the stone door again. .

Shangyuan He Xiang refused to give up, outside the stone gate, he drew out his double sabers. Seeing this, Li Xuan also happily drew out his Changwu sword, and began to wrestle with the woman.

Inside the vault, Su Zhongming took a light with a torch, and seeing a mountain of boxes, he couldn't help being happy, and opened the lid of one of the boxes casually. When he looked at the bottom of the box, there was nothing there. He frowned in confusion, and moved to the side , Opened the lid of another box, but there was still nothing. I felt uneasy, and opened several lids in a row, and finally found something in one of the boxes, but it was just an old book called ——Record of wind and rain in Qingluan City.

Grabbing this old book, Su Zhongming walked out of the vault calmly. Seeing that the two men were having a lively fight, he sighed helplessly and persuaded him: "Stop fighting, you won't be able to get Qingluan City to stay if you fight." The treasure that came down! There is nothing in the vault!"

Shangyuan He Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, stopped his hands quickly, and opened his lips: "Impossible! Since the treasury is carefully set up here, how could it not be...!"

Su Zhongming said helplessly: "I found many boxes in the vault, but they were all empty. I only found this one!" He said, holding up the old book in his hand.

Li Xuan and Shangyuan He Xiang wondered in unison: "What is this?"

Su Zhongming was even more helpless: "You don't know how to read..." He deliberately brought the front of the book closer to them so that they could see it clearly.

Li Xuan was surprised: "What's going on?!"

The ninth generation laughed loudly: "This is the treasure that is hard to change in Qingluan City! It records all kinds of things in Qingluan City from the first day of its establishment to its prosperity."

Li Xuan and Shangyuan He Xiang were stunned again by coincidence.

But Su Zhongming was helpless.

Shangyuan Hexiang was not convinced, and blurted out: "If the treasure is really this broken book, then the legend about the treasure is not true?!"

The Ninth stroked his gray beard, and said slowly: "Back then, Qingluan City did hide tens of thousands of gold and silver here, but something happened later, and these gold and silver were transferred back to Qingluan City."

The speaker was extremely relaxed, but the listener's shoulders collapsed in disappointment, and it was difficult to cheer up.

The Ninth Emperor turned his head and his eyes fell on Li Xuan: "I know that your heart to restore the country is not dead, so you come with the old man."

Without hesitation, Li Xuan followed the pace of the ninth emperor and stepped into the vault. In an instant, the stone door of the vault was tightly closed.Su Zhongming and Shangyuan He Xiang stayed outside Shimen, out of strong curiosity, they couldn't help but look at each other.

After the stone door was closed, IX moved the box away, and it turned out that there was still a mechanism hidden behind the box!The IX rotated the disc mechanism, and the stones on the stone wall of the treasury moved, and gradually a long hidden compartment appeared, and a variety of jewels were reflected in front of him.

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and opened his lips and said: "Didn't the elder say that the treasures in Qingluan City have already been transferred back, why are there still hidden jewels now?"

The Ninth Emperor replied: "These are not belongings of Qingluan City, but left to you by your ancestors. After the troops are assembled, they will be collected later to prepare food and pay, which can help you regain the throne."

After hearing this, Li Xuan nodded, and immediately asked: "Is there a copy of <Nine Sans Shaohua> here?"

The Ninth Emperor replied: "I don't know, you have to find it yourself."

Li Xuan squatted halfway, searching carefully among the dazzling array of jewels, grabbed a handful of jewels, and saw a box, hurriedly moved it out, opened the lid of the box, and saw that it was a pair of jewels that were all black but connected with golden strings. Ancient Pipa.

He hurriedly picked up the pipa, and found that there was a book at the bottom of the box, which was exactly what he was looking for <Nine Scattered Time>!Opening it and taking a look, the handwriting on each page was still clear, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, put the book away, and put the box back to its original place.

Su Zhongming wandered slowly outside the vault, and glanced at the stone door of the vault from time to time, waiting impatiently.Shangyuan He Xiang thought about it carefully, then went to Su Zhongming's side and asked, "Are you sure, there is nothing in the treasury?"

Su Zhongming replied simply: "Yes! There is really nothing! If there was, I would have packed it in a big box!" Glancing at Shangyuan Hexiang, he couldn't help feeling bored: "Senior Sister! Could it be you? Don't believe me?"

Shangyuan He Xiang only smiled lightly, and replied: "Idiots can't play tricks."

Su Zhongming understood it as soon as he heard it, and was even more puzzled: "I'm not stupid! Why do I look like a fool in the eyes of my senior sister?!"

Shangyuan He Xiang folded his arms and replied: "If you ask like this, it shows that you are an idiot."

Su Zhongming was speechless at this moment.

Suddenly, the stone door of the treasury opened, and the two turned their heads when they heard the sound, only to see an old book in Li Xuan's hand.Su Zhongming couldn't hold back, and immediately asked: "Where did you find that book? Why didn't I find it when I went in?"

Due to the fact that Shangyuan Hexiang was in front of him, Li Xuan could only pretend to take it for granted, and replied: "The vault is not small, you just didn't check carefully."

Su Zhongming thought about it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, those boxes had not been fully opened, and now his gaze was only on the book in Li Xuan's hand, and he wondered: "But what kind of book did you find? "

Li Xuan didn't answer, but just passed the booklet to Su Zhongming for a glance.

As soon as he saw the title of the book, Su Zhongming became overjoyed, and blurted out: "Great! You finally found what you were looking for! It's exactly as you said, it's in the vault!"

Li Xuan replied: "I didn't expect that I was so lucky."

Shangyuan Hexiang felt very unhappy when he saw this scene because he failed to achieve his goal, but he could only turn his face away and snorted softly, pretending not to care.

Su Zhongming turned his head and said to Ninth World: "Since the whereabouts of the treasure is known, it will not be long to stay. However, it is also a blessing to see the elder. When I return to Qingluan City, I will definitely tell everyone to make everyone happy!"

The ninth emperor replied: "I am already happy to see the current city lord, so I don't bother the city lord to mobilize people. At this old age, sooner or later I will go to the ground to rest in peace. The city lord is still in his prime, so please take care of yourself!"

Su Zhongming felt it was a pity, and after handing over the Qingyun stick in his hand to the ninth emperor, he cupped his hands and said goodbye, turned around, and wanted to leave with Li Xuan and Shangyuan Hexiang.

The Ninth Emperor thought about it carefully, and suddenly shouted: "City Master! Please allow me to point out a shortcut——out of this tomb, just walk straight to the right, and you will find the exit when you reach the tomb hall!"

Su Zhongming turned around and thanked: "Thank you, elder!" He said generously, "Then, if I can meet the elder again in the future, I hope I can have dinner and tea with the elder, and I will treat him!"

Ninth World smiled brightly, and replied: "That depends on fate!"

The three of them left the No.18 tomb immediately. Shangyuan Hexiang took off the Tonghua Yundian first, and took the lead towards the passage on the right. Xuan Yi followed Shang Yuan He Xiang's pace.

Shangyuan He Xiang walked very fast, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the passage, Su Zhongming and Li Xuan also hurried towards the exit.

There is no ear between the front and the back, so Li Xuan took this opportunity to open his lips and said, "Guess, how did I find this book?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Just now, didn't you say that you found it in the box in the vault..."

Li Xuan said calmly: "Your senior sister is present, I dare not say so."

Su Zhongming was stunned: "You mean! There is really another mystery in the treasury?" Suddenly he grabbed Li Xuan's arm and hem, and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Xuan confessed frankly: "I followed the ninth elder into the treasury, and the elder opened the secret compartment of the treasury for me! Although there are many precious jewels hidden in the secret compartment, they belong to the royal family of Shaole! That's how I found them." I bought this book! The elder said, after I gather the troops for the restoration of the country, I will go back to the No.18 tomb, take out the jewelry, etc., and use it as food!"

Su Zhongming was originally happy for him, but the Tonghua Yundian had been snatched away by Shangyuan Hexiang, so he couldn't help worrying: "But, without the Tonghua Yundian, we..."

Li Xuan blurted out: "So, we must catch up with that woman! Take Tonghua Yundian back!"

The passage under their feet twists and turns, like a giant snake. The two ran forward with all their might, and a stone gate gradually appeared in front of them. Shangyuan Hexiang was standing in front of the stone unicorn on the right side of the stone gate, silently holding his arms. , seems to be waiting for them.

Su Zhongming was taken aback for a moment: "Senior Sister?" He hurriedly looked at Shimen again, "Could it be that this door...!"

Shangyuan He Xiang laughed at himself for a while: "It seems that I want to take Tonghua Yundian as my own." Only then did it show the situation, "I tried to use the method of No. 18 tomb to open this stone gate, but its mechanism But it is different from the No.18 tomb! I have to wait for you to solve it."

Li Xuan opened his lips and said: "If you want me to open this stone gate, you can hand over Tonghua Yundian first!" As he said, he stretched out a hand to Shang Yuan Hexiang, palm facing up.

Shangyuan Hexiang smiled contemptuously, and said: "There are no legendary treasures in the No. 18 tomb, not even valuable things. What's the use of you going back?"

Li Xuan retorted: "Even if it is useless, it is still a property of the Shaole royal family! After the head of the tung flower is stained with vermilion ink pad, you can print the tung flower seal on the paper. The tung flower seal is a special imperial order of the royal family!"

Shangyuan Hexiang sneered: "Anyway, the Shaole royal family no longer exists, and you have become an ordinary person, so what if you use it to print the Tonghua seal?"

Li Xuan lowered his head slightly, and had no choice but to be calm: "In this peninsula, some Shaole people still survive. I may only use Tonghua Yundian to prove my identity in front of the tribe and lead the tribe to rebuild the Shaole country!"

Shangyuan He Xiang stopped laughing, and only said: "I have one condition for me to return the Tonghua Yundian to the original owner."

Li Xuan asked concerned: "What conditions?"

Shangyuan He Xiang replied: "You two come to my house as guests. After I go, I will naturally return the things to the original owners."

Su Zhongming was taken aback again: "Your home?! But... isn't your home in Ge Yunguo? If I go with you to Geyunguo, wouldn't that tell me to die in vain..."

Shangyuan Hexiang blurted out: "Coward!" Then he clarified, "My family is no longer in Geyun country. I moved half a year ago, and now I live in the mountain dock of Guangling country. From here, it only takes a day and a night to arrive. .”

Su Zhongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan opened his lips and said to Shangyuan Hexiang, "Don't break your promise!"

Shangyuan He Xiang smiled lightly: "I am also a trustworthy person, at least I won't cheat my junior brother."

Su Zhongming met her gaze, pondered for a moment, opened his lips slightly, wanted to say something but hesitated to speak, and only said in his heart: What do you mean you didn't trick me?Who cheated me of my first kiss back then?Isn't this called a pit? !

Seeing that the two of them were not moving, Shangyuan He Xiang reminded: "Before it gets dark, open the stone gate first."
