Chapter 8 Guarding the Treasure Chest

It was late in the evening, the dusk was falling, and the empty courtyard was silent. Yang Shucheng and Yang Shucheng were standing in front of the house, worrying. An old man from the neighbor came over. Yang Shucheng hurriedly stepped forward and asked about the whereabouts of his family.

The old man said: "A group of people came, claiming to be from the Gua Cult. They kidnapped your mother, sister, and your uncle, and asked you to bring your things to the sect to collect people."

Yang Shucheng thought that Li Xing had saved his life several times, and he would definitely be able to help me save my family, so he said to Li Xing: "I will give you the treasure map, but saving everyone is more important."

Li Xing took Yang Shucheng's hand and said movedly: "Good brother, let's take the treasure and then go with you to save your family."

When I walked to the bookstore, the books were scattered all over the floor. They had obviously been searched. Is the treasure map still there?

Yang Shucheng dug away the dirt on the wall, took out the treasure map from the crack in the wall, and handed it to Li Xing.

The two sat in the house, ate some dry food, and slept on the wooden bed at night.

The next day, Yang Shucheng and his two men rode north again, bypassed Luoyang City, crossed the Yellow River from the northwest, and rode for a day. At dusk, they walked into the Taihang Mountains.

Rest for the night in the mountains. The next day, before dawn, the two set out across the Taihang Mountains to Shandong and walked north along the mountain side. After walking for a day, I rested in the mountains at night.

The next day, as shown in the treasure map, we walked into Baligou and encountered cliffs, rushing streams, and jagged rocks. Yang Shucheng had no intention of enjoying the scenery. The two of them lowered their heads and ran all the way in.

When I walked to Moyun Ridge, I saw that this ridge was soaring from the ground to the sky, with smooth walls. I thought that this treasure was on this ridge.

Yang Shucheng and the others climbed up Moyun Ridge and came under a huge boulder. There were overgrown weeds on the side. There was a recess on the left with rubble all over it. It was probably the place where the treasure was buried.

The two used their swords to dig out the rubble, and there was indeed a deep hole inside. The two quickly enlarged the entrance of the cave and got into the cave. Inside was a natural cave, about half the size of a room, filled with wooden boxes. When they opened a large wooden box, the light of jewelry shone brightly inside.

Li Xing said: "We only took one box and buried the rest here. Return the treasure map to Fu Gua Sect. Then we can save Brother Yang's family and there will be room for change."

The two of them dragged out a large wooden box and sealed the entrance of the cave so that nothing strange could be seen from the outside. Then they dragged the wooden box and slowly slid down the steep mountain wall to the bottom of the cliff.

This is a mountain col, full of boulders, overgrown with weeds, and quiet everywhere, with the wind blowing and not even a bird chirping, let alone other people.

(The deeds of Fu Gua Cult and the treasure map can be found in the previous work "The Legend of Wang Haichao")

The two men cut wood into a load, picked up the big wooden box, and walked eastward for more than ten miles. When they saw a small canyon in the south, they walked over. After walking out of Baligou, fortunately, I didn't meet anyone along the way.

After walking for two more days in the jungle, we reached the southern end of Taihang Mountain. Li Xing found a secluded place, next to a big rock. The two dug up the soil, buried the big wooden box, and planted some yellow grass around it. There was nothing unusual about it.

Li Xing told Yang Shucheng: "This wooden box is of great importance. You can guard it here. I went to Huang Zhonglin's camp to negotiate and managed to save more than a thousand brothers."

After Li Xing finished explaining, he turned and left, while Yang Shucheng stayed.

Yang Shucheng stayed on guard for more than an hour, but not even a sheepherder came. It seemed that this was a secluded place.

Yang Shucheng got up and walked a mile or two eastward. There was a small forest with all the leaves fallen. Fortunately, there were dense weeds. Yang Shucheng sat in the dense grass and slowly practiced the Taiqing Qigong.

After about half an hour, I saw a tiger slowly walking towards the woods with colorful colors. Yang Shucheng was so frightened that he did not dare to move or even breathe.

But the tiger still saw Yang Shucheng. It had been hungry for several days. When it saw a stranger, it couldn't hold back anymore. It pounced on Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng said "Oh" and jumped up. He saw a slight breeze and the yellow grass was swaying slightly. Where was the shadow of the tiger? Not even a hare, it was like a nightmare to think about it.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself: "I often read records in books and it is easy to get carried away when practicing Qigong. Could it be the situation today?" He did not dare to practice anymore, so he walked in the woods, walked out of the woods, and picked some wild fruits on the hillside to satisfy his hunger.

After an hour like this, I felt bored, so I tried out the Changsheng Sword Skill. After practicing like this for more than half an hour, I started to slack off.

I walked west and came back. I saw that the place where the treasure was buried was fine. So I had to go east again and walked three or four miles away. I couldn't see the place where the treasure was buried. I walked to the hillside and looked at the buried treasure place to the west. I couldn't help but practice Taiqing Qigong again while sitting there.

While he was concentrating on his luck and practicing his martial arts, he saw a lonely woman walking up the mountain step by step on the mountain road in the distance. The woman's figure was graceful, and she came swaying. Her skin was like the snow on the ridge, her face was like the flowers on the tree, and her eyes were like the autumn water in the pond. She was indeed a woman of unparalleled elegance.

In this barren mountain, a stunning woman walked towards her. Yang Shucheng stood up unconsciously. The woman quickly walked closer, saw Yang Shucheng, and asked:

"Excuse me, sir, where is Moyun Ridge?"

When Yang Shucheng saw her asking about Moyunling, his mind was touched and he was thinking about how to answer.

"Okay, you're here, kid," a rough voice shouted.

Yang Shucheng opened his eyes and saw that it was Jiang Wen, a martial arts idiot, walking over step by step, dragging a machete.

Yang Shucheng was suddenly startled, where had the beautiful woman gone?

It was really unusual to practice Taiqing Qigong today. Yang Shucheng looked at Jiang Wen, wondering whether the man in front of him was real or fake?

"What are you crazy about!" Jiang Wen's round face was about to come right in front of him. Yang Shucheng had no choice but to say hello: "It turns out to be Brother Jiang. You're fine!"

Jiang Wen asked: "What are you doing in this barren mountain?"

Yang Shucheng didn't dare to tell the truth about the treasure he was guarding. He was afraid of being discovered by him when telling lies, so he had to tell half the truth: "My family was captured by the Fu Gua Cult. I'm waiting here for Li Xing and Da Xia Li to help me get to the Fu Gua." The teacher went to beg people. Where did Brother Jiang go?"

"I went to the ravine to chase some rabbits out so that I could catch the master who was filial to me." Jiang Wen replied.

Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would go into the valley. What if he caught rabbits and found a buried treasure? luck."

Jiang Wendao: "Okay, let's catch the rabbit together. If we catch the rabbit, the two families will share it equally."

Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would regret it, so he walked eastward. As soon as Jiang Wen said that, he followed behind.

The two of them walked for dozens of steps in silence. The martial arts idiot Jiang Wen said: "I had a fight with the guy surnamed Li, but I haven't fought with Brother Yang yet. It's not too late for us to have a fight and leave."

"I don't know how to use a sword."

"Look at you holding a long sword and saying you don't know how to swordsmanship. You look down on me!" Jiang Wen said angrily.

Yang Shucheng was afraid that he would be angry, so he practiced for two hours to test his swordsmanship. He said: "I am not good at swordsmanship. If Brother Jiang wants to fight, we will fight. Brother Jiang must be merciful."

Jiang Wen followed Chen Shaoyong and was in the initial stage of training. He was very excited and looked for people to compete with him everywhere. When he heard that Yang Shucheng was willing to compete, he just wanted to do it. He agreed, picked up the machete and struck at Yang Shucheng.

Yang Shucheng had no choice but to raise his sword and face him. The two started fighting on the hillside.

After more than a dozen moves, Jiang Wen took advantage of his height and long sword to slash and chop violently. Yang Shucheng could cope with it at first, but now he is struggling and gradually showing signs of failure.

Yang Shucheng thought to himself, I couldn't beat him, so I had to run away north to lure him far away, and then I felt relieved.

Having made up his mind, Yang Shucheng turned around and ran north. He practiced Taiqing Qigong, and he was completely different from his former self. When he ran this time, he really moved like a rabbit out of nowhere.

Then Jiang Wen was chasing after him. In the past few days, it was Jiang Wen who chased rabbits to honor his master. He climbed over mountains and ridges as usual. He was seen chasing after him, and his long arms had already reached Yang Shucheng's collar.

Seeing that Yang Shucheng couldn't get rid of him, he had to turn left and right to escape. Jiang Wen was behind and couldn't figure out his escape route. He was also furious. He suddenly thought that rabbits ran like this, so he thought Yang Shucheng was a rabbit. From a distance Di followed behind, trying to tire Yang Shucheng to death before catching him.

Just like that, the two of them were chasing each other in the valley, heading north, running for more than ten miles.

From a distance, I saw a valley entrance in front of me, and a young man standing with a sword in hand.

Yang Shucheng ran closer and stopped. Jiang Wen arrived soon after.

Yang Shucheng is a scholar with no strength in his hands. After practicing Taiqing Qigong, he ran more than ten miles in one breath without his heart beating or breathing. He was very satisfied. On the contrary, Jiang Wen was so tired that he was out of breath.

"What are you doing?" asked the young man guarding the valley entrance.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Wen asked angrily, half dead from exhaustion.

The young man said: "This is Jinshi Villa. You are all right. Get out of here quickly."

Jiang Wen was sulking. When he heard this, he became angry and said, "Does this mountain belong to your family? I want to break in and try."

The young man immediately stood at the mouth of the valley and greeted him with his sword.

"Okay. Do you want to fight?" Jiang Wen said angrily.

The young man saw that Yang Shucheng looked like a weak scholar and could still bully. When he saw Jiang Wenxiong's harassment and bullying, he did not dare to offend him, so he had to say softly: "There is a thief in the villa. We are searching everywhere. Two heroes, if everything is alright , please go away.”

"Okay, you treat us as thieves." Jiang Wen didn't listen to this. When he heard this, his lungs exploded with anger. He raised his machete and chopped it on the head.

The young man did not dare to use his edge, so he had to dodge in all directions. After more than a dozen moves, he felt that Jiang Wen was just too strong, and his fear disappeared, so he took the initiative to face him with his sword.

This fight was different. The young man used small skills and stabbed Jiang Wen around in front and behind him. In an instant, Jiang Wen was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and gasping for breath.

The young man gained the upper hand and struck with his sword. He immediately stabbed Jiang Wen in the chest. If Jiang Wen hadn't dodged quickly, the sword would have pierced a transparent hole.

Jiang Wen was shocked, turned around and ran away. The young man stood still, laughed loudly, and said: "With this little ability, you still have to go into the valley and live out your spring and autumn dreams."

Jiang Wen didn't want to hear what he meant by this, but his long legs ran faster. After running dozens of steps, he only saw a person coming from a distance.
