Chapter 117 The same clan, the same origin, the secret of the exquisite heart
Early the next morning, Chen Luo went to the inn and brought everyone from Shan Ming's gang to the small courtyard. Shi Shanming and everyone rested for a night. After a night of fright, their mental state was much better now.
When they saw Old Chen Tou and Chen Luo, Shi Shanming pulled Shi Zhuo and bowed his head. Shi Zhuo knelt on the ground and said, "Bang Bang——" and kowtowed twice to Old Chen Tou!
"Thank you two heroes for your life-saving grace. Without your generous actions, I, my father, son, master and disciples, all of us, would have lost our lives in southern Xinjiang." Shi Shanming sighed. Although he behaved calmly throughout the whole process, he thought
Even thinking about it makes me afraid. How will I explain the wealth and lives of so many people to their families when I go back?
Chen Luo quickly reached out and pulled Shi Zhuo up.
"I invited Uncle Shi here this time because I want to ask you about some things and discuss the next steps." Chen Luo said.
"It's easy to talk, and I will tell you everything I know. Feel free to ask questions, brother!" Shi Shanming nodded and looked at Chen Luo quietly.
"Uncle Shi, Shi Zhuo and I are about the same age, just call me Xiaoluo!"
"Then you're welcome, brother Xiaoluo!" Shishan Minggong handed over his hand.
"Uncle Shi, didn't we talk about this strange phenomenon in the mountains last time? I have also thought about it. This summer, strange treasures will inevitably be born. I wonder what you think about this treasure hunt at Yusu Peak? Do you intend to return?"
"Of course I want to return. The fate of us jade collectors belongs to the mountain!"
Shi Shanming nodded, yes, returning to Yusu Peak if possible is a dream for jade collectors.
"Uncle Shi, let's be honest. Xiaoluo and I intend to follow everyone and return to Yusu Peak together to look for this opportunity to be born." Chen Luo got straight to the point.
"real?"
Shi Shanming looked at Chen Luo doubtfully. "Jade mining is not something that can be done with just a fight. It requires long-term persistence and hard work, and may even cause a person to collapse and leave his life in the mountains."
Chen Luo nodded seriously, "I have considered this matter and am not in a hurry. Uncle Shi can rest in peace and recuperate first. It won't be too late for us to set off after the injury is healed."
"Yeah, but we can prepare well before we go. Uncle Shi, I will tell you about the situation in the mountains."
Shishan Ming and Chen Luo sat on the stone bench, murmuring and drawing pictures from time to time.
"In short, this Yusu Peak is too big! Even though I have been there once, it is still a blind man trying to figure out the elephant. It would be great if there was a map." Shi Shanming said.
Old Chentou on the side was not idle either.
He reached out and patted Shi Zhuo on the shoulder, "Little baby, are you interested in learning skills from an old man like me?"
"(⊙o⊙)What? The old man wants to - teach me kung fu?" Shi Zhuo was so excited that he stuttered a bit when he spoke, and his originally dark face turned red and purple with excitement.
"Why, you're not happy!"
"Silly boy, this is your chance. Your Grandpa Chen is an expert in this world. Why don't you hurry up and become a disciple!" Shi Shanming kicked Shi Zhuo.
"Master, please bow to me, disciple!" Although Shi Zhuo looked stupid, he was actually not stupid at all. He fell to his knees on the ground again.
Shi Shanming and Shi Zhuo had both seen the skills of Old Chentou. They ignored all attacks and knocked out the evildoer with a slap. He was like a god of war.
It would be a great blessing for such a master to accept him as his disciple. Maybe Old Chen Tou is really interested in tall and powerful young people. He has strong skills and needs to find a fierce person to pass on his skills.
"Thank you, senior, for taking me as your disciple. I'm afraid I'll have to worry about senior because I'm stupid!" Shi Shanming expressed his gratitude to Lao Chentou on behalf of his son.
"You're welcome. I also see this Shizhuo as a tall man, able to endure hardships and stand hard work. He is a young man who practices hard kung fu. If he doesn't start training early, I'm afraid it will be delayed. From now on, work hard for a few years with a calm heart. I'm sure
You can get up." Old Chen waved his hand and pulled Shi Zhuo up.
"Since we are master and apprentice, I won't hide anything. During this period, you can come to me every day at nine o'clock, and I will teach you how to get started." Old Chen Tou looked at Shi Zhuo, who was about the same age as Chen Luo, although he was born.
He is tall and strong, but he is still in the physical training stage. If he doesn't dig into it, he may lose a good talent.
Shi Shanming touched his pocket and said with shame, "In this hurry, I didn't bring any apprenticeship ceremony. Please wait for me for a moment and I'll be back soon!"
After that, Shi Shanming hurried out. Although he has reached middle age, Shi Shanming's realm has been stuck at the peak of Qi training all year round, and he has not yet broken through to foundation building. This may be related to people's pursuit of ideals. As long as there is jade in the heart, everything else
They are all external things.
An hour passed. While Chen Luo and Shi Zhuo were waiting for Shi Shan to show up, they competed with each other on their skills and exchanged anecdotes about jade picking.
Chen Luo took apart the Taizu Changquan moves one by one on behalf of Grandpa Chen and taught them to Shi Zhuo. Not to mention, Shi Zhuo was really a beginner in martial arts. After learning it three times, he could make exactly the same moves.
After a while, Shi Shanming hurried back from outside, holding a large package in his hand.
"This is a private item that was previously hidden on the outskirts of the city." Shi Shanming explained, "Considering that I have not been very stable recently, I deliberately kept an eye out before going down the mountain into the city."
Shi Shanming is indeed experienced. When he realized the danger signal, he promptly hid all his goodies in a hidden place on the outskirts of the city.
"The jade picker has nothing else but this jade stone, which is rich in reserves. If my brother and Mr. Chen don't dislike it, Shan Ming is willing to use this bag of jade stones as a gift for my humble son to become his apprentice."
Shi Shanming opened the baggage as he spoke. As the baggage unfolded, Chen Luo felt dizzy. He saw that the objects in the baggage were all radiant and extraordinary. Pieces of pebble-like jade lay quietly.
In the package, it seemed that he was always waiting for Chen Luo's call, and the little fire in his heart was ready to move.
"Although we didn't find any rare treasures when we entered Yusu Peak this time, we didn't return empty-handed. These were jades carefully collected from the upper reaches of the Yulong River. I don't know why, but the number of jades on the river beach this time was so large.
There are so many of them and the quality is so high, I’m surprised. If I couldn’t carry them, I would really want to move the whole river back!”
This is probably related to the strange phenomenon in Yusu Peak. The heaven and earth moved suddenly, the river water surged, and jade stones were washed out from the cracks in the mountain. Everything was possible.
Chen Luo grabbed a stone from the package, put it under his nose and smelled it. It was indeed something extraordinary.
What is commendable is that these jade stones seem to have been recently washed and rounded, and each piece of jade is only covered with a thin, light-colored patina.
This is the finest Kunlun mutton-fat white jade.
Picking a good piece of jade is a lifelong dream for jade pickers. Shishanming is professional in picking jade, finding jade, and selecting jade.
Although Chen Luogui is the number one scholar, Shi Shanming can surpass Chen Luogui by a dozen due to his rich practical experience.
Chen Luo wants all these jade stones!
Picking up the largest pebble of jade, Chen Luo quietly turned on the five yunda mode. A pure jade soul was poured into it, and the sea of qi in the Dantian in his body began to expand infinitely.
Hey! The taste of this jade soul is so familiar!
Deja vu? Chen Luo frowned. He had seen this smell somewhere not long ago.
what is it?
Chen Luo passed his consciousness through his storage ring, went deep into it, and searched and compared it bit by bit.
Exquisite heart with seven orifices!
The smell of this pebble is actually from the same origin as the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart!!
Chen Luo reached out and took out the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart from the storage ring and put it together with the pebbles. Although the two shapes were different, there was no sense of incompatibility.
The exquisite heart with seven orifices is like a king, lying in a pile of jade, surrounded by stars.
"What is this?" Shi Shanming looked at this piece of jade that looked like a heart, and felt something unusual, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chen Luo didn't speak, quietly sensing the changes in Qiqiao's exquisite heart, as if there was a melancholy sound calling.
Shi Shanming is a person who knows things, and he can see the extraordinary quality of Qiqiao Exquisite Heart at a glance. In contrast, these pebbles he picked up turned into supporting characters instantly like a soldier seeing a king!
Only Chen Luo felt that a change was slowly taking place in the exquisite heart. The jade soul of the pebbles actually began to merge with the exquisite heart with seven orifices.
The seven orifices in Linglong's heart actually began to change, like a secondary development, gradually becoming softer, brighter, and larger.
The magatama on his body began to chirp again.
Chen Luo took out the magatama and brought it close to the Qiqiao Exquisite Heart. From a hole in the exquisite heart, a kind of suction force actually emitted, attracting the magatama to slowly come closer and closer——
Insert it in——
"Pa—" The Qiqiao Exquisite Heart suddenly split open on all sides. What was originally a complete jade stone instantly decomposed into five or six strangely shaped jade petals like a lotus flower.
Could it be that this exquisite heart with seven orifices was not carved from a single piece of jade? If it was really carved from a single piece of jade, then the skill of the person who carved it would be truly astonishing and would make ghosts and gods weep.
Was it that the mechanism was triggered just now, causing it to fall apart? Linglongxin's heart was broken, and Chen Luo's heart also collapsed. This, this - how can I give it back to Tian Wuji in the future?
"There's something in there!"
Shi Shanming was more focused and shouted loudly.
Chen Luo quickly leaned over and looked at the torn exquisite heart with seven orifices to see what treasures were hidden inside?
Chen Luo picked out a strip of oil paper that was twisted into a long and thin piece. It was made of fine sheepskin and made of fine oil paper.
Slowly unfolding it, there was actually a picture inside. The picture was the size of a book page, with various signs marked on it, including mountain peaks, buildings, routes, and direction coordinates.
This is a carefully hand-drawn map.
"Wow - you really get whatever you want!" Shi Shanming shouted excitedly.
"That's right, this is the map of Yusu Peak!" Shi Shanming has already surveyed the mountains and rivers of Yusu Peak once, so when he saw the map and confirmed each other, he instantly felt cordial.
"This - what a coincidence!" Chen Luo touched his head, unable to believe that what he saw was real.
"This is fate!" Lao Chentou also came forward and studied the map. "However, when I look at the map, there are some signs of bumps and bumps. Are you so sure that this map is the map of Yusu Peak?"
"Of course! I am very sure! In our line of work, we eat and sleep in the open every day, looking for jade everywhere, and reading a map is the most basic ability!"
"Look at this place, it's the entrance to the mountain; this is the winding road up the mountain; this is the dilapidated house where the jade picker rested."
"Eh - I remember it ended here. Why does the map continue to extend downwards?"
It took no effort to get there even after wearing iron shoes. Chen Luo and Shi Shanming high-fived each other.
"With this map, our success rate can be increased tenfold!"
