Dragon Pattern Roll Set

After Gongsun Yitong tossed and tossed, he gave Cui Cheng's skull a pot of medicinal water bath. As a result... Cui Cheng's skull changed. The color of the skull changed, and it began to turn yellow-green. Many bubbles appeared.

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "Bookworm, how could this be? The skull is poisonous?"

Gongsun didn't know if he heard it, but he just held up his skull and repeated, "I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot!"

Zhao Pu looked at the sky, stretched out his hand to take the skull and put it down, grabbed Gongsun's shoulders and shook it, "Alas! Return to the soul!"

Gongsun was excited, "I'm so stupid!"

Zhao Pu couldn't laugh or cry, "What's going on?!"

"Fake!" Gongsun pointed at the skull, "It's not a human bone!"

Zhao Pu was stunned for a while, then opened his mouth wide, "Huh?!"

The black shadow and white shadow who were looking at the door out of curiosity also came in, "Fake?! How is it possible?!"

Gongsun took the other parts of the skeleton and poured the same water. Sure enough, the same changes took place in those bones...

"Fake!" Gongsun excited, "It's not a bone at all! This is carved out of stone! It's a kind of gray-white rock, the stone is very light, ahhhhhhhh! I was deceived!"

Zhao Pu felt that the way Gongsun yelled and jumped up and down was very similar to that of the fourth son when he was impatient. Sure enough, the fourth son followed his father's temper.

Putting those bones aside, Zhao Pra passed Gongsun and asked, "You mean, someone faked a pair of Cui Cheng's bones?!"

"It's so ingenious!" Gongsun said with admiration on his face, "Amazing skills! And the materials are also very elegant. I looked carefully just now and found a slight indentation on the cheekbone, probably because there is a color difference in the stone. So I had to cut off a little bit... In short, if it weren't for this trace, I wouldn't be able to find it at all!"

After the effect of the potion passed, the skull miraculously returned to its original shape. Black Shadow and White Shadow held it together and studied, "Can this also be fake? It's amazing!"

"So..." Zhao Pu patted Gongsun's head to calm him down, and asked, "Cui Cheng's skeleton is fake...so Cui Cheng didn't die at all?"

Gongsun's attention finally shifted back from the fake bone, and he stretched out his hand to touch his chin, "That's right! Besides, there are not many craftsmen with such skills in this world, right?"

Hei Ying said, "Zhan Zhao and the others went to Cui Xin before, and he said that Cui Cheng is very proficient in carving some very fine things."

"Is this skeleton carved by Cui Cheng?" Gongsun pondered, "Cui Cheng disappeared after that. Could it be that he faked his death?"

"This direction is getting weirder and weirder." Zhao Pu said, "When Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang comes back, we have to ask."

Gongsun tugged him, "Let's go, let's find the fourth son."

Heiying said that just now Ziying came back and said that the fourth son and the others went to Huangshi Yupu. It seems that the Mei family twins went to gossip about his father's affair with Cui Miao back then...

"Hey!" Zhao Pu was taken aback, "My cousin still had such a relationship back then?"

"It's said that it's still my first love, but the King of Deer just started messing around and ended up giving up..." Zhao Pu ran away before Soi Ying finished gossiping, "It's so exciting!"

Gongsun is speechless - what kind of mentality do these people have...

In the palace study.

Zhao Zhen finished discussing things with Zhao Pu and the others just now, and felt tired after reading the memorial for a while, so he lay down on the soft couch behind the screen in the study for a while.

He was lying down, when he heard soft sounds beside him, someone else climbed onto the soft couch lightly.

Zhao Zhen just laughed, reached out to grab a handful, and sure enough, Xiangxiang's "hehehe" laughter came.

Zhao Zhen put Xiangxiang who had sneaked up on his stomach, and asked her, "What were you doing just now?"

Xiangxiang said, practice calligraphy, and then practice the piano, and then Grandma Huang said that she played the piano well, and asked her to come and play with Father Huanghuang.

Zhao Zhen gently rubbed his daughter, just as he was happy, Nangong walked in from outside the door, holding something in his hand.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Have you found it?"

Nangong nodded, handed the things in his hand to Zhao Zhen, and said, "It's in the box for storing sundries."

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and reached out to take the box.

It was a delicate brocade box, golden in color, which fit perfectly in the palm of your hand.

Xiao Xiangxiang sat on Zhao Zhen's stomach, looked at the box curiously, and asked, "Father, what's inside?"

Zhao Zhen said, "When I was a child, when I was as old as you, I sat on my father's lap like this, but only once, my father didn't hug me."

Xiangxiang was puzzled, "Why doesn't Grandpa Huang embrace Father Huanghuang?"

"Your grandpa is not in good health, and I'm afraid I'll pass the illness on to your father." Zhao Zhen opened the box, and took out a small string of pendants from inside, with a jade carving tied to a red string.

The jade carving is quite exquisite, although it is only the size of half a little finger, but the jade is warm and clear, with a faint blue in the green, it is very rare, and it can be inferred that it is Haiyu.

This section of jade carving is exquisite in workmanship, using a combination of inner carving and outer carving. The inner carving is a ferry, with bridges and boats on the shore, and even the fallen leaves are carved out. Although small, it is very real.The outer sculpture is the shape of a fish tail in the water waves.

Zhao Zhen hung the pendant around Xiangxiang's neck, and said, "When my father was a child, I suddenly fell ill, and it looked very similar to the illness your grandpa had."

Xiangxiang held the jade carving in her hand and looked around.

"Your grandpa is very scared, but because of that opportunity, he can hold me and sit for a while." Zhao Zhen pointed to the jade carving and said, "This is what your grandpa took off from his neck and put it on for me. He said, 'This is the most precious treasure in the world, it can withstand all ailments, and you can grow up safely with it!'”

"So powerful?" Xiangxiang was surprised.

"I asked your grandpa, where did this come from?" Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, "Guess what your grandpa said?"

Xiao Xiangxiang blinked and looked at Zhao Zhen curiously.

Zhao Zhen said, "Your grandpa said that it was given to him by a woman who is smarter than him."

Xiangxiang looked at the jade carving again.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "After I put on this jade pendant, I really recovered from my illness... Later, when I grew up, I thought this jade carving was just used by your grandpa to coax me... So I put it away for many years , almost forgot about it."

"Father, have you forgotten such an important treasure?"

"Don't tell me you thought it was your grandpa bluffing people at first." Zhao Zhen smiled and pinched Xiangxiang's little face, "Now that I think about it, I understand that your grandpa didn't lie to me."

Xiao Xiangxiang looked up at Zhao Zhen, "Is what Grandpa Huang said true?"

"En!" Zhao Zhen nodded, "This thing is the most precious treasure in the world, just like you."

Xiao Xiangxiang tilted her head, looking at Zhao Zhen half-understanding.

Zhao Zhen smiled, patted his daughter in his arms, and said, "I don't ask you to be as beautiful as your mother when you grow up, I only ask you to be as smart as her."

Xiao Xiangxiang smiled and nodded, "Yes! Mother is smart."

Zhao Zhen smiled...

When he found the fishtail pillow before, Zhao Zhen really wondered if the treasure left by Concubine Ye had been found, but who knew it was a murder case.

The palace has been repaired several times before and after, and it has been searched and searched many times, but there is still no clue about where the treasure that Concubine Ye stole is hidden.Zhao Zhen always felt that ordinary gold and silver treasures were simply not worthy of this extraordinary woman, Concubine Ye, and must be even rarer treasures.

Last night, Zhao Zhen thought of this again, so he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Concubine Pang asked him, "The emperor has something on his mind?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly asked, "My concubine, if you wanted to steal the most valuable treasure from me, what would you steal?"

Concubine Pang blinked. After a long time, she pulled the corner of her quilt to cover half of her face, then revealed a pair of big eyes to look at Zhao Zhen, and said in a low voice, "If the concubine says it, the emperor can't take it seriously."

Zhao Zhen made her amused, "That's natural, you should talk about it."

Concubine Pang stretched out her finger, poked Zhao Zhen's chin lightly, and said, "The concubine stole your country."

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed heartily, feeling that all the puzzles had been solved, he hugged Concubine Pang and kissed her forehead, "It really is my woman! She is extremely smart!"

……

Xiangxiang was still looking at the jade carving, and Zhao Zhen smiled slightly. Concubine Ye should have stolen this thing back then.

Concubine Ye did hide the stolen "treasure" back then. She hid the country in the hands of the emperor. Is there a safer way than this?

After stuffing the jade pendant into Xiao Xiangxiang's clothes, Zhao Zhen said to her, "Help father hide it so that no one will find it."

"Hmm!" Xiao Xiangxiang straightened her collar immediately, wondering where to hide this crucial treasure?

……

On the other side, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang chased all the way, and according to the clues left by Jiaojiao, they chased to a dense forest near the western outskirts of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "This forest is quite big, and it's easy to get lost in it."

Bai Yutang said, "They are walking on a mountain road, so it's not easy to follow them, so let's let Shark see what's going on!"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

The two of them found a rock near the forest and sat down, waiting for Shark to find out in the forest.

Jiaoxia followed the man in black all the way up the mountain, and finally came to the back of a very hidden hillside, entered a ravine, turned... and came to a stone wall.

Bai Yutang frowned - this place is not easy to find, but Jiaojiao should remember the way if he has been there once.

The man gently pushed somewhere on the stone wall, and a crack in the door appeared on the stone wall.

The man in black pushed open the stone door and went in, Shark hurriedly followed, and the stone door closed.

It was pitch black behind the stone gate.

The man in black took a torch hanging at the door, took out the torch and lit it.

The surroundings lit up, and it was a long and narrow tunnel.

The man in black walked down holding the torch, and Shark followed him.

It's probably because there is some dark wind in the tunnel. Although Shark Shark is said to be formed by internal force, everyone can't see it, but existence is existence...

The man in black looked back, then shook his head, and continued to walk forward, probably also feeling suspicious.

At the end of the tunnel is another stone gate.

Push the stone door open, and there is a room inside.

This underground room has good lighting, the light comes in through the cracks in the stone, and the room is quite bright.

When Bai Yutang saw the exquisite workmanship of the furniture, most of which were stone carvings, he was a little puzzled—the workmanship is not bad.

The man in black came to the table, poured a glass of water, and took off his mask to drink.

Right now, Jiaojiao was standing behind him, and Bai Yutang wanted to see what that person looked like.

But before Shark could walk in front of him, the man put down his glass after drinking the water and walked forward.

I saw him walk to the bookshelf, reach out and turn a vase lightly... The bookshelf moved aside, and a stone door appeared behind it.

The stone door was locked, and he turned the dial a few times, and the stone door opened, and there was another room behind.

Bai Yutang frowned - so mysterious?

The man walked quickly into the room behind the bookshelf, and Shark naturally followed.

But at this time, the scene in the room surprised Bai Yutang.

They saw that there were no decorations in this room, only one wall, and there was a complete piece of jade carving on it... and the pattern of the jade carving was very familiar to them, it was Yuweidu!

Before, they suspected that the painting hanging on the wall of Manji Tang Shop was a rubbing, but now it seems that it was a rubbing of the jade carving on the wall!

What is different from the hanging painting is that on this jade carving, several circles are drawn and connected by lines. It seems to be a map, but the map is incomplete.

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong!With Fifth Master's photographic memory, he remembered what this picture meant.Before that, they found the way to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses that was left behind in the imperial palace... Bai Yutang sketched that picture roughly in his mind, and the half of the map drawn on Yuweidu in front of him was exactly that. part of the picture.

Looking at it this way, the shape of the fishtail wave in the fishtail ferry is very similar to the terrain of Moon Bay in the West Sea.

Bai Yutang finally understood that indeed... Cui Hai left the map to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses in the jade carving at Yuweidu, but... what exactly happened?

Just when Fifth Master was wondering, he saw the man in black stretch out his hand and lift something in his hand.

What he held in his hand was a jasper card, square and square, about the size of Xiao Sizi's hand.

Jiaoxia naturally raised his head to look at the jasper tablet, and saw the carving of Yuweidu on it, Bai Yutang nodded - it should be the man in black who just took it from the storeroom of the Kui Mansion.

On a table next to the man in black, there were some things, all of which were fishtail-shaped jade wares, seven in total, and one of them, which caught Bai Yutang's attention, was a jasper fishtail qin.

Bai Yutang wanted to take a look at the qin, but Jiaojiao suddenly raised his face and looked at the top of the cave. Obviously, something caught his attention.

I saw a hole in the top of the room, a ray of light was coming in through the hole, and it happened to shine on the jasper tablet held by the man in black.And looking at the opposite jade disc, a pattern of Yuweidu was projected, which should be caused by the light beam penetrating through the jasper tablet.

The man in black slowly moved the jasper tablet in his hand, and finally, the projection of Yuweidu overlapped with the jade carving on the wall, and on the jade carving, a spot of light and a zigzagging light appeared.

The man in black picked up the writing brush on the table, drew a circle on the light board, and then drew it along the light, and finally connected with the circle above, and completed a part of the map.

Bai Yutang suddenly realized—it turned out that Cui Cheng had hidden the secrets in various Yuweidu jade articles in this way!

The man in black put down the jasper tablet, looked at the jade on the wall, and said, "There is the last one left."

Bai Yutang was taken aback for a moment - this person has a northwest accent!When he got in touch with the fishtail piano he saw just now, Fifth Master guessed—it seems that this man in black was the one who went to pick up Yaoqin's fishtail piano that night.

Zhan Zhao was at the side, and he could see the subtle expression changes on Bai Yutang's face, and he didn't dare to disturb him even though he couldn't exert his strength.

And just when Zhan Zhao was in a hurry, Bai Yutang suddenly had a surprised expression on his face, and then Fifth Master suddenly seemed to wake up, and his breathing became a little faster.

Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Yutang opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhan Zhao. Just now, before he had recovered from the surprise of finally discovering the secret of the Yuweidu Zangtu, the man in black suddenly turned his head.

And Shark was right behind him, and suddenly saw the face of the man in black... If the discovery just now was a surprise, then at this moment, it was more like a shock.

Fifth Master felt it was indescribably weird, and looked up at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao was anxious, "What did you see?"

"I saw the face of the man in black." Bai Yutang said, "We all know each other."

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Who is it?"

Fifth Master paused for a moment, feeling unconvincing, and said, "It's Cui Cheng!"

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a long time, then tilted his head, "Which Cui Cheng?"

Bai Yutang was helpless, "It's the skeleton curled up in the palace well!"

Guard Zhan took a step back, "What?!"

Bai Yutang poked him, "Shouldn't you be called 'meow'?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed the waist eye that was poked by him, opened his mouth wide, "Damn it!"
