Nine Hundred and Ninety-Seven: The Location of the Treasure House
After speaking, Xu Cheng left.
The village chief looked at his back from afar, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Is there any difficulty for you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have come here?"
Xu Cheng looked at the simple and simple villagers at the foot of the mountain, and then at this place, and said, "It's nothing, if you need money, tell me if you have any difficulties."
Help a little if you can.
The village chief said to him: "Whether you want it or not, I will give you the things from the Xu family. Your father is not talented, and not everyone can learn Mizong Quan, so he learned other calligraphy, but the Xu family can do it. Born in a family of bodyguards that has been passed down for thousands of years, and has traveled the rivers and lakes, it naturally has its background and martial arts. This method is Mizong Quan, which is the most quintessential skill of the Xu family."
"Then I have already met." Xu Cheng said.
"Come with me." The village head said, and took the lead to leave with a cane.
Seeing him walking towards the entrance of the village, Xu Cheng had no choice but to follow him.
Following the river flowing through the waterfall, Xu Cheng followed the village chief to the so-called 'Xu Tomb'!
It turned out that just like what the children said, this area is full of cemeteries!
Similar to the tombstones in ancient times, there are no names, and some bones are exposed, and there are a large number of bones around. Xu Cheng conservatively estimates that there are at least a few thousand bones here.
"What are these?" He curiously asked those white bones under his feet.
"It's all those people who have been looking for Xujia Village in the past. In fact, there is no Xujia Village at all. What is here is just the treasure house left by the Xujia family. Some of them wander here to search, and they always meet each other and fight. You Looking at the bones of the corpses, most of them are the corpses left by the five major families, and there are also people like the Lone Ranger who searched for the treasure house later."
"Didn't the five major families loot the entire Xu family? Could there be more?" Xu Cheng asked curiously.
"The Xu family has been an escort agency for generations. How can it be possible to keep all the details at home? Naturally, there must be a treasure house. Every generation of the Xu family has traveled all over the world. They have seen countless rare treasures, weapons and antiques from various guests. , their treasury will definitely attract many rangers or those clans who want to find out. After all, as those well-known escorts escorting valuables by wealthy officials, if they don’t have power, how can they get along? The power of the Xu family in the past dynasties is It’s huge, how big is it? In all corners of the world other than bureaucrats, they have their eyeliner and sphere of influence. It’s really difficult to rob the darts, otherwise it’s not a thousand-year-old bodyguard family.”
Xu Cheng chuckled: "I didn't expect my family to have such an awesome background. It turns out that I am also a man with a background. Hey, it seems that my life experience will be much more colorful in the future."
"At that time, if the royal family hadn't become poor and had no money, they wouldn't have attacked the Escort. Hey, behind the five major families, they actually had the permission of the imperial court. They began to clean up all the Escort's sites on the grounds that they were colluding with foreign enemies. , almost uprooted all the forces of the Xu family and Xu family's brother-in-law. After the Xu family fell, this place became the target of everyone looking for the treasures and those martial arts books." The village chief said : "That's why this place became Xu Zhong, the place where the bones of these people are buried."
Xu Cheng frowned: "Then is there any treasure from the Xu family here?"
The village head had a half-smile: "If not, what am I doing here?"
Xu Cheng: "Old man, have you ever thought about getting this treasure and living a more comfortable life?"
The village chief said with emotion: "I am actually a slave, a servant of the Xu family. The old man saw that I have good talents and aptitudes. He trained me, taught me to be a man, and treated me like his own son. What he gave me was the best for a slave in this life." Longing for extravagant things, he told me that every generation of the Xu family will always have a generation that is not accepted. He is afraid of ruining the things left by the ancestors of the Xu family, so I must take care of them. He bypassed the heirs of the Xu family and asked me. I have absolute trust, how can I act like a villain?"
Xu Cheng sighed in his heart: "Feudalism kills people."
The feudal class does have a huge gap in people's hearts. It seems that morality and beliefs are stuck there. Some people think that they are slaves and they should have the life of slaves. They never have any thoughts to change or question. That is blasphemy against the gods.
"Master, do you know what's in here?"
The village chief shook his head: "I don't even know how to get in."
"Then why are you sure there is a treasure house inside?" Xu Cheng was speechless: "Maybe you have been cheated for hundreds of years."
"It doesn't matter to me, I just need to be responsible for handing it over to the descendants of the Xu family. Your father was obsessed with your mother back then, and he didn't have the face to get these benefits, so he never came. Today you are here, I think Put it in your hands, so I can rest in peace."
Saying that, the two came to the end of the waterfall, a cliff.
Below is the end of the waterfall. The water pours down from the mountainside and goes straight to the bottom of the mountain. The roar of the water waves makes people feel shocked when they look at it.
"According to the old man, the waterfall and river didn't face here before. They dug a water hole in the middle of the mountainside, and then diverted the water here, and used the waterfall to cover the hole on the mountainside cliff. That's the treasure house of the Xu family. There is only one entrance, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to enter because of the powerful force of the water. If you go down this waterfall, you will simply be drowned in the vortex of the water rushing to the bottom.
Xu Cheng looked at a waterfall towering above the cliff below. Without modern equipment and waterproof facilities, he groped slowly. It was really difficult to find the specific location of the cave entrance in the whole waterfall. And it’s possible to hang the steel wire rope from above to touch it. No wonder it’s difficult for people to get in because there is no equipment. It is difficult for you to drill into the cave in the waterfall, and the wire rope equipment must be firm. Being washed down, for such a high waterfall, there must be a huge impact vortex at the confluence below. People with poor water skills will only drown there.
"Do you want me to go back and find the equipment?" Xu Cheng smiled wryly.
The village head leaned on crutches and was about to leave: "It doesn't matter to me what is inside. Whether you want it or not is up to your own will. I will go first. In addition, if you go out, I hope you don't disclose it to here." Going out, we can no longer keep up with the pace outside, we just want to live in peace with the world."
Xu Cheng couldn't help bowing to the old man, "Thank you."
Before leaving, the old man said to him: "I see that you have injuries on your body. If you stay here, you can recuperate here before going out. This place is very suitable for self-cultivation."
"Okay, then what should I call you?" Xu Cheng looked at the village head and said.
"I don't have a name, but I chose one for myself, named Xu Wuming." The village head smiled slightly, and then left.
