Chapter 15 Treasure
After looking around the hall, everyone focused their attention on the four brocade boxes on the table and the flat box on the long table. Everyone knows in their hearts that the focus of this mission, the treasure of this secret place, is inside.
However, everyone still murmured in their hearts. What a coincidence, four factions came this time, and there happened to be four brocade boxes on the table. If one faction was lost in the dense forest just now or three factions came, the table Will there be one less brocade box? These are just your thoughts. These boxes have been placed here for more than three hundred years, so how could they suddenly disappear and reappear?
Layman Yanming was still cautious. He walked to the front of the square table and did not rush to get the box. Instead, he observed carefully from front to back and left and right. He first knocked on the chair with a dagger, and even knocked it on the chair. The futons also fell to the ground, and then he used a dagger to knock all the brocade boxes into position, but no movement was found. In the end, he was still worried, so he walked to the wall on the right, opened the three paintings and looked at them separately, but found no trap. Then he walked to the table and said to everyone: "It seems that there are no more institutions here. What do you think?"
The remaining people have been following Master Yanming since they entered the secret place. When they arrived at the hall, they stood still and did not dare to move. Formations have been mentioned in the world since ancient times, but by their time, formations have long become legends. Occasionally, there are a few formation masters, and they are all verbal. I have never heard of any formation master using a few bamboo pieces and a few stones to create a formation to trap someone, let alone use the entire formation. The Jujube Forest Sect had formed a large formation. This was obviously a grand undertaking hundreds of years ago. Everyone had been shocked. They had already obeyed the master's instructions and followed the instructions of Master Yanming. At this time, he asked Suggestion, how can anyone have objections? They all nodded in agreement.
Lay Practitioner Yanming was very satisfied with their attitude and said with a smile: "Jianghu is an unpredictable place. It's better to be more careful. You should also look around to see if there are other agencies in the hall. This is also your opportunity. If What you gain is your benefit.”
Everyone looked at each other a few times, then dispersed and went to check around the hall. Everyone was also murmuring in their hearts, could it be that layman Yanming had some intentions? Exchange the brocade box? However, the hall is only so big, so everyone can clearly see any movements and are not afraid of his movements. Maybe the seniors really want to take care of the juniors. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you look around.
Sure enough, within a moment, everyone had finished searching and found nothing. It seems that the treasures in the hall are these boxes.
When Layman Yanming saw everyone coming back, he cleared his throat and said, "According to the previous peace agreement, all four of our factions can choose a brocade box. Although Gang Leader Situ is from the Evil Tiger Gang, he should belong to Ma Shaoxia's faction and is not considered a separate faction. Does Gang Leader Situ have any objections?"
Situ Ping said calmly: "I have no objection."
Yes, how could she dare to object? Her life just now was saved by others.
Layman Yanming continued: "Then, follow the order of holding the leather, and follow the map from left to right, and top to bottom to pick up the boxes. Whatever you get, you will have your destiny." After finishing speaking, , he stood on one side of the table.
According to the order, the first person to take the box should be the Piaomiao faction. Wen Wenhai thought for a while, then walked forward and looked carefully at the four brocade boxes on the table. They were exactly the same. No difference was seen. They were all There was a layer of dust, and it seemed that it had been placed on it for a long time. He thought for a moment, and then took the second one from left to right. When he was about to open it to see what was there, he was stopped by the layman Yanming. The layman Yanming said: "There must be treasures in the box, and there are exactly four of them, one for each person, and there is something harvested, but the things in each box It may not be the same, there may be differences. If everyone knows what is inside each other, everyone will inevitably have the desire to win over Shu. How about everyone keeping it secret, not opening the box here, and making plans after leaving here? "
Everyone nodded in agreement,
Wen Wenhai also put the brocade box into his arms and returned it to its original place.
Next came Wan Jianfeng and Ma Xiangyang, then layman Yanming, and finally Tan Wu stepped forward to take the last brocade box. No one looked at it and put it in their arms.
After the distribution was completed, everyone's eyes looked at the flat box in the distance on the table.
Layman Yanming walked to the far end of the table, picked up the box, and it was hard and heavy. Looking carefully, it seemed to be carved from a single piece of stone. It seems to be a treasure, but for some reason it was not placed on the table, but was thrown on the other end of the table?
Layman Yanming walked to the table, handed the box to everyone, and then placed it on the table. He looked at everyone quietly and said, "This is the only box left in the room. There is no way to divide it equally. Do you want to share it?" As we said before, rock-paper-scissors determines who gets it?”
Everyone looked at each other, feeling ridiculous for a while. Children in the world should use children's games to decide such an important matter. However, without this gentle method, who would hold back when facing such a coveted treasure? There is no guarantee who will be the winner in the end.
Everyone had no choice but to acquiesce, and then Ma Xiangyang spoke: "Senior, I have a suggestion."
Layman Yanming said with an unsurprising expression, "Young Master Ma, just say it."
Ma Xiangyang said: "We have no objection to the rock-paper-scissors method, but I have a small request. I hope that whoever gets this box will open it and let us take a look to see what's inside." What is it? What do you think?"
Layman Yanming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Everyone else had the same thought. He would naturally know his treasure when he got it back. The things in this box may not be his, so he had to take a look.
Then, Layman Yanming arranged the order of the guessing games. It was still in the order of taking the brocade box just now, with the Piaomiao sect and Wan Jianfeng in a group, and Layman Yanming and the Tan family in a group.
Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing of the Piao Miao faction looked at each other. Wen Wenhai nodded to Xue Qing and smiled encouragingly, but at the same time his face was full of embarrassment. Xue Qing stepped forward and came to the front of the square table. Only she knew why her senior brother His face was full of embarrassment. Anyone who has played this guessing game with him since he was a child, and who has lost since childhood, will be embarrassed when he mentions this guessing game.
Wan Jianfeng only had Ma Xiangyang here, so he naturally would not feel comfortable letting Situ Ping come up. In fact, even if he felt comfortable letting Situ Ping come up, Gang Leader Situ would not dare.
Seeing the two people coming forward, Master Yanming said: "The rules of guessing are of course: scissors beats paper, paper beats rock, and rock beats scissors. Before we start, we need to blindfold everyone with a silk scarf. Wait until I call... Two, three, everyone punches at the same time. Then, take off the scarf, and we all see who loses and who wins."
In the first round, Xue Qing and Ma Xiangyang both used scissors. In the second round, Xue Qing still used scissors, but Ma Xiangyang used cloth. When Ma Xiangyang took off the scarf for the second time, he retreated regretfully. Go down.
The contest between Master Yanming and Tan Wen was determined by one game. Master Yanming was the rock and Tan Wen was the scissors.
The last game was the crucial one. At this time, layman Yanming thought for a moment and asked Situ Ping to put gauze scarves on himself and Xue Qing. After Ma Xiangyang finished counting three times, he took out the scissors and took off the gauze scarf. I found that Xue Qing was also a scissor, so I put on the gauze again, thought about it for a while, and after counting three, I pulled out the scissors again. I found that the opponent was still a scissor. I couldn't help but be stunned. In fact, the layman Yanming also proposed this game. There is selfishness in it. He has been proficient in various miscellaneous arts since he was a child, such as guessing games, gambling, etc. He wins more and loses less. On the contrary, because he dabbled too much in martial arts, he was unable to reach the top. At this critical moment, I found that the opponent was also a master. I was shocked and paid more attention to it. However, in the third game, Yanming Jushi came out with cloth, while Xue Qing and Xue Nuxia still used scissors, without any changes. While layman Yanming pulled off the gauze scarf, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was trapped in a cocoon. He had only known how good it would be to compete in martial arts.
Not to mention the excitement on Xue Qing's face, Wen Wenhai took the box and was about to open it, but Layman Yanming stopped him: "Wait a minute, put it on the table, and pick it open with a sword from a distance to prevent any traps." Wen Wenhai followed suit. Putting it on the table, he picked at the box a few times with the tip of his sword, but couldn't find the position of the lid. He picked up the box again this time and looked carefully, only to find that the box was actually airtight. Then, he tried hard to Break it off and didn’t open it. The other few people didn't open it either. Layman Yanming also picked up the dagger and pried it on the box, but it had no effect. Finally, completely ignoring Wen Wenhai's eyes, he actually used the dagger to cut on the box, but it didn't move. Any trace of the box.
He finally understood why the box was thrown far away at one end of the table.
He handed it back to Wen Wenhai casually, and Wen Wenhai also carefully carried the box in his arms.
Seeing that there was nothing in the hall, everyone's thoughts had already flown to the medicine garden. Layman Yanming took everyone to the medicine garden and said to everyone: "We are not fully prepared, and we don't know if we can take more medicinal materials. I suggest that we bring some mature medicinal materials that can be preserved this time. Four copies, one for each faction. The seeds and other transplant matters will be discussed and decided by the four factions. Can you all take a look?"
Everyone had no objections, and then led by layman Yanming, they collected land by land, picked four portions of each mature medicinal material, packed them into four packages, and sent one to each party.
Finally, layman Yanming said to everyone: "Since everyone has no chance, we can only give ourselves some comfort here in the medicine garden. What we just brought to our respective sects, next we can only pick three mature ones." Medications belong to the individual.”
After saying that, layman Yanming took everyone to visit each medicinal field again and collected medicinal materials according to their own requirements. In fact, the medicinal materials that everyone knows are similar, most of them are ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Panax notoginseng, Shanjing that are hundreds of years old. etc.
After finishing all this, the light in the secret area was already dimming. It was probably past noon outside. Only then did everyone think of going out. It took a long time to get in. Wouldn't it be late at night when they went out? Layman Yanming smiled and comforted everyone: "When we go out, we just need to find a place to walk. As long as we walk straight, we can go out. However, looking at the sky, it's time to leave, so let's leave now."
After saying that, everyone picked up their packages and followed Yanming to find the two jujube trees in the middle of the jujube forest and walked straight away.
Little did everyone know that as soon as their group entered the jujube forest, a snake-headed monster poked its head out of the frighteningly hot lake. It stared at where they were walking for a moment, and then retracted into the water, leaving only the water on the lake surface. Circle ripples.
