Juvenile Tour [Jian San Yang Hua Tibetan Tang Dynasty]

[-]. Gusu

The outskirts of Gusu.

In a dilapidated house, several beds were hastily set up with straw and sheets, and a brazier was burning in the middle, with firewood burning inside, giving off a pungent smell.It used to be a small shop selling pancakes. Even though it had been abandoned for a long time, the room still smelled of the low-quality soybean oil. The floor was black and shiny, as if it would stick the soles of your shoes when you stepped on it.During the day, the tall and thin man in the dark red robe sat cross-legged on a straw couch, closing his eyes and resting his mind.The cold wind of late autumn blew in through the loosely closed door, blowing out the fire, and the shadows of the people in the house were projected on the wall, and twisted accordingly, like evil spirits.

"Father, are we really going to stay here until October?"

The speaker appeared to be a teenager, and looked reluctant.The tall and thin man raised his eyelids and said, "Otherwise? Wait until the next 20 years?"

The man snorted, looking very disdainful, and said, "It's been so long, who knows if I can find it or not?"

"Snapped!"

It was the tall and thin man who slapped the long knife on his knee on the grass bed, and the boy shrank his neck immediately, and dared not make a sound.After being silent for a long time, I heard my father let out a long sigh and said: "19 years ago, in order to deal with the Chen family, our five families suffered heavy casualties, so how can we--keep silent!"

His voice suddenly dropped, and his posture changed from cross-legged to kneeling.Outside the window, a dark cloud covered the moon, and the sky and the earth went dark.

The other people in the room also quietly climbed up from the grass couch, and outside the half-closed broken door, a light and slow footstep came from far and near.

The long knife was unsheathed silently.

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.In just half a day, the murder case in the outskirts of the city the night before yesterday spread throughout Gusu City.

Because the man who died happened to have a dispute with Ye Tianci the day before, so the guards took him and Tang Fei to the court for questioning.In the evening, the two returned to the inn. As soon as they stepped through the door, they felt that they had become the focus of all eyes in the lobby.Tang Fei was born as an assassin, and he was very unaccustomed to such an occasion where everyone was watching. Ye Tianci took half a step forward calmly, protecting Tang Fei behind him, and said with a smile: "I was detained outside for a day, everyone just wanted to ask, You have to wait for the two of us to eat first, right?"

After finishing speaking, he greeted everyone's eyes, walked to a table in the middle of the lobby and sat down, and also ordered the staff to serve some special dishes, then raised his head and said: " The two of us just arrived in Gusu yesterday, and the situation is no better than the others. But since we all want to go the same way to find treasure, it's best to be honest with each other, right?"

A young man in sapphire blue at the next table heard the words, clapped his hands, and said with a smile: "My lord has already said that, so I can't wait to pretend to be confused, so I just asked directly—what happened to the five people who died on the outskirts of the city?" What's the situation?"

No wonder he would ask this, because in the murder case last night, the murderer directly tore off a piece of clothing from the deceased, wrote it in blood and threw it into the government office, directly leading people to collect the corpse.When others heard the news and rushed over to watch, there was already nothing left.Such neatness and arrogance did not leave any traces, and it is unknown who did it.

"I was brought there as a suspect, so it's impossible to know too much information, but I gave some money to the yamen servants, and they still gave me some information," Ye Tianci said slowly, with a smile on his lips, "Listen It is said that the five corpses were all killed by a sword, and the word 'Chen' was carved with a sharp weapon on their bodies."

The young man in sapphire blue couldn't answer. There were whispers in the inn lobby, and even Tang Fei frowned.Although the official sent the two of them to ask questions today, the main concern was Ye Tianci, who spent most of the time waiting outside bored, so he didn't know anything about this statement.

"Could it be that……"

Someone opened his mouth in a low voice, with a flash of fear on his face, and then it turned into eager surprise.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally the young man in sapphire blue said softly: "Could it be that this treasure is really ominous?"

There was a moment of silence in the lobby.This group of people gathered together in Gusu, so they must have checked the information about the secret treasure of the Chen family.In the past few years, several martial arts seniors of the Gusu generation were inexplicably killed, and there was a bloody "Chen" on the corpses. There are countless relationships.

However, compared to Li Gui's revenge, it is more likely that the Chen family will have descendants.And the secret of this blood-stained treasure that has just revealed the tip of the iceberg may also be maintained by that mysterious descendant.Anyway, those who can sit in this lobby today have more or less lives in their hands. Naturally, they don't believe in ghosts and gods. It's better to catch the blind together.

It's a pity that for so many years, there has been no news about the treasure or the descendants.In the past, the Chen family's family martial arts was a set of "Linfeng Saber Technique", but it was not a single-fighting technique in the martial arts. Light and elegant but thunderous, it is also very powerful.Therefore, some people speculated that if someone hadn't used the name of the Chen family to pretend to be a ghost, then the descendants of the Chen family should also be masters, no wonder they couldn't be found everywhere.

Tang Fei listened intently, finally straightened out the clues in his mind, and let out a long sigh of relief.He raised his head and looked around. The faces of the people around him were full of greedy expressions, which made people very disgusted.The young man frowned and retracted his gaze. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly noticed that Ye Tianci was slightly raising one corner of his lips, with a sneer of sarcasm on his face.

.

The two of them had nothing to do in Gusu City for a few days, nothing more than listening to the rumors they had heard before.Ye Tianci, contrary to his previous temperament of joining in the fun and making troubles, actually stayed in the room obediently and couldn't come out.Tang Fei thought that going on like this would not be a problem, so he proposed to take a trip to the former Chen family mansion - now the ruins of the Chen family.

Ye Tianci thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, but before leaving, he bought a few sticks of incense in the city, and even brought a tribute.Faced with Tang Fei's doubts, Young Master Ye looked serious: "I heard that the unjustly dead will be trapped in the place of death. If we go to the ruins to investigate, don't we just step on their souls? Bring some offerings, maybe at night I won't come to the door..."

Tang Fei was speechless: "So you don't go out at night, is it because you are afraid of ghosts?"

"……To shut up."

The ruins of the Chen family are located in the south of Gusu City, and now only a ruined wall remains.The scorched beams and logs poked on the ground in all directions, like the bones of giant beasts, and the ground was covered with fragments of bricks, stones and rubble.

It wasn't just the two of them who came to investigate, many of them even brought tools and dug directly in the middle of the ruins.And the biggest pothole among them is the entrance of the half-collapsed chamber.

It was supposed to be in the backyard of the Chen family. The opening was not too big, but it was dug into a huge pit. Inside was muddy muddy water with a layer of reddish-brown algae floating on it, which looked very disgusting.

Tang Fei is a clean person. He just glanced at it and turned his head away with disgust on his face. Ye Tianci studied it for a long time with interest, and said, "This secret passage was discovered by accident. It is said that someone planned to use it here. A house was built on a piece of land, and when the foundation was being laid, running water was suddenly dug out.”

It is a good thing to be able to dig out water, but I never thought that the water would be salty.The local well water in Gusu is clear and sweet, never so bitter, so it can only be sea water.As soon as the news came out, many people heard the news and dug up the side of the foundation, and finally dug a wellhead made of bronze. The cave wall inside was also cast with copper juice. road.

However, maybe because it has been in disrepair for a long time, or someone accidentally touched the mechanism, the secret passage here is filled with sea water, and it is not easy to enter.In addition, the entrance is extremely narrow, and there are countless hidden weapons on both sides, so no one dares to take risks easily.

Perhaps the Chen family's treasure was too tempting, and not long after, someone changed their minds. Since the entrance can't get in, what about the exit?Therefore, someone put his domesticated swordfish into it, and finally found the exit of the secret passage in the sea more than ten miles away. It turned out to be a natural cave.

Tang Fei listened intently: "Then, what exactly is the treasure of the Chen family?"

"How would I know?" Ye Tianci replied indifferently, seeing that Tang Fei was disappointed, he added, "But I can probably guess."

The boy immediately became interested: "What?"

"The Chen family is also a family of weapon refiners. Although it is not as famous as the Ye family and the Liu family, most of them that can be regarded as 'handed down treasures' are also weapons—not to mention," he pointed at the reddish-brown algae in the secret passage, "This kind of thing grows from falling iron, and it grows in the sword mound of Hidden Sword Villa. Here is running water, but the color of this leaf is so dark, it can only show that there is a lot of metal in the secret path. Therefore, the Chen family's Treasure should not be a certain piece of peerless magic weapon, or ordinary objects such as gems, but most likely, it is the entire arsenal!"

"This..." Tang Fei was surprised, "But just relying on these few aquatic plants, isn't it too arbitrary?"

"Naturally there are other reasons," said the old god Ye Tianci, "The mountain people have their own tricks, so you can't say it, you can't say it..."
