Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Brother Hai, don't worry. Although we seem to be passive, we still have a trump card in our hand."
"What trump card?" Seabeard asked.
Wen Qingshan looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday, we already figured out the specific location of the treasure."
"Really!?" Haibeard still didn't know that Huang Yixian had cracked the endgame yesterday, and that we had basically locked the treasure location based on the endgame and the topographic map of Qipan Valley.
Wen Qingshan nodded and said: "We have basically locked in two locations, thanks to Master Huang and Shi Yu."
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's dig out the treasure quickly. As long as the Dashun treasure is revealed to the world, the conspiracy of the Black Devil Sect to take the treasure as their own will no longer succeed." Haibeard looked a little excited.
.
Wen Qingshan said: "Don't worry, I went to check this morning. There are people living around the two hills we are currently targeting. If we want to conduct an investigation, I am afraid we have to obtain the consent of the villagers first, so as not to alarm the villagers.
.”
After hearing this, Huang Yixian was slightly startled and said: "Boss Wen, you mean to tell the people in Qiping Village about the Dashun Treasure?"
"At least let them know."
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate! This treasure is buried in the village where they have lived for generations. What if they believe that this is the wealth left by their ancestors and are not willing to let us dig it out?" Huang Yixian asked in return.
"I have considered this, so we cannot tell the villagers that we are digging for treasures, just to examine the geological structure of this area."
"Inspecting the geological structure in the village?"
Wen Qingshan smiled and said: "Haha, when Brother Hai puts those equipment there, I believe no one will doubt it."
"This is not very kind! If the treasure is unearthed in the end and the villagers know that we lied to them, then how can Shi Yu and I have the nerve to come to Qiping Village in the future..." Huang Yixian said and glanced at me.
In fact, I also feel a little uneasy in my heart. Although I am not from Qiping Village, after all, my master is buried here. It is like my hometown. And this time, the people in the village are very enthusiastic towards us. If we keep treating them
Keeping it in the dark seems to be a bit unkind indeed.
Wen Qingshan saw Huang Yixian and I's worries and said: "You don't have to worry about this. I have already thought about it. When the reward money is received, I will give 10% of it to Qiping Village. For them,
It should be considered a considerable fortune."
Huang Yixian immediately turned around and asked Jianjian: "How much is the 10% reward?"
Jianjian replied: "Boss Wen said last time that the reward was 500 million. Based on this amount, one achievement is 50 million."
"Fifty million!?" Huang Yixian's eyes widened.
Wen Qingshan smiled and asked: "Master Huang, what do you think of my arrangement?"
"Hey! Then do as you say, Boss Wen!" From Huang Yixian's point of view, it seems that money can solve all problems.
The matter was decided, and Huang Yixian and I led Wen Qingshan to Mr. Qi's house.
Seeing Mr. Qi, Wen Qingshan stepped forward and explained to him the purpose of his visit. He only said that he wanted to inspect the geological structure of several hills in the village, hoping to get the cooperation of the villagers. Who knew that after listening to Mr. Qi, he
He just lowered his head, smacked his pipe, and didn't say anything for a long time.
We couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Huang Yixian thought he had something to hide, and said from the side: "Second Master Qi, can you please give me some clear words on whether this is appropriate or not?"
Only then did Second Master Qi raise his head, glance at the three of us, and said slowly: "Professor Wen, Daochang Huang! Tell me the truth. You came to our Qipan Valley not to inspect the cave, but to inspect the cave.
For the legendary Dashun treasure, right?"
We never expected that Mr. Qi would also know about the Dashun treasure, and we were all shocked and speechless for a moment.
After a while, Wen Qingshan pretended to be confused and asked: "Second Master Qi, what Dashun treasure are you talking about?"
Second Master Qi glanced at Wen Qingshan and ignored him. He turned to look at me and said, "Shi Yu, your master is buried in Qiping Village, so you are considered a member of our Qiping Village. Tell me, you
What’s the purpose of coming here?”
I looked at Wen Qingshan and then at Second Master Qi. I couldn't help but feel a little flustered. I was stunned for a while and then hesitantly said: "I...we are...here for the exam...inspection..."
Before I finished speaking, I raised my head and met Mr. Qi’s sharp eyes. I couldn’t say any more and quickly lowered my head. Perhaps it was because Mr. Qi mentioned Master, I really
You can't lie in front of him.
Huang Yixian sighed and said to Wen Qingshan: "Boss Wen, now that things have happened, let's not hide it from Second Master Qi."
Having reached this point, Wen Qingshan knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to tell the truth: "Second Master Qi, you are right, we are indeed here for the Dashun treasure. Please forgive us.
I also don’t want to have an unexpected birth.
Zhi, that's why I kept it secret from you before." At this point, he changed the topic again and asked: "By the way, Bai Xiaowu once told us that no one in the village knew about the Dashun Treasure. Mr. Qi, what are you talking about?
How do you know?"
Second Master Qi took a puff of dry cigarette and said: "You have been investigating for so long, and you must already know that the reason why our Bai family took root in Qipan Valley is to protect this treasure. How could we not know about the treasure?"
It exists! As for Bai Xiaowu telling you that no one in the village knows, that’s because I think he has evil intentions and is plotting the treasure, so I pretended not to know in front of him."
"Then, when did you know that we were here for the treasure?" Wen Qingshan continued to ask.
"That day Sanyuan led Huang Daozhang and Shi Yu to Qiyun Peak to draw the topographic map of Qipan Valley. When he came back, he told me that you two were very interested in Qiyun Temple and even went in secretly to check it out. And after drawing the topographic map
After that, I asked Sanyuan to help you mark out the location of our old house of the Bai family, and I knew that you actually had another purpose in coming to Qipan Valley."
After listening to what Second Master Qi said, Wen Qingshan calmed down and said: "Second Master Qi, now that you know everything, let me speak openly. We hope to get your help and unearth this treasure as soon as possible.
come out."
Second Master Qi glanced at Wen Qingshan and said coldly: "Hmph! Our Bai family has guarded this treasure for generations, and now you ask me to help you dig out the treasure. Doesn't this mean you are asking me to betray my ancestors? Absolutely impossible!
"Second Master Qi
His tone was very firm, and Wen Qingshan was a little helpless. He turned and winked at Huang Yixian. Huang Yixian understood, and stepped forward to chat with Second Master Qi: "Second Master Qi, according to what you said, everyone in the village knows about the treasure.
?”
Second Master Qi waved his hand and said: "No! Not many people in the village know about this. In order to prevent the secret of the treasure from being leaked, our ancestors of the Bai family established a rule that in each generation of the Bai family, there are only two
The only person who can know this secret is that one is the descendant of Qiyun Temple, and the other is the head of the Bai family. Moreover, even we only know that such a treasure exists. No one knows the specific burial location of the treasure.
!”
"In other words, only you and Mr. Hao know about the treasure?"
Second Master Qi took a puff of dry cigarette and said: "There is also Bai Xiaowu! Third Master Hao must have told him that now one of them is dead and the other is missing. I am the only one left." At this point, he suddenly
He raised his head and changed the topic: "Are you planning to kill me now? As long as I die, only you will know the secret of this treasure."
Second Master Qi suddenly said this, which shocked the three of us.
After being stunned for a moment, Huang Yixian hurriedly said: "Second Master Qi, what do you mean by this? How could we possibly kill you! Do you think I am such a person!?"
Second Master Qi glanced at Huang Yixian, shook his head, and said, "To be honest, I don't believe you would do this. But it just happened that since you came to Qipan Valley, Third Master Hao, who knew the secret of the treasure, disappeared.
Bai Xiaowu died mysteriously again, and after his death, you also suggested that his body be buried as soon as possible. All this really makes people doubt your motives."
We never thought that Second Master Qi would think that we had killed Bai Xiaowu. Huang Yixian immediately became anxious. He stood up and said loudly: "Second Master Qi, although I love money, I can't get enough of it."
Dao, he wouldn’t do anything to seek money or kill someone! Bai Xiaowu’s death had nothing to do with us. It was because he made careless friends and was killed by his accomplices.”
I also hurriedly explained: "Second Master Qi, we really didn't kill Bai Xiaowu. He made friends with people in the cult. Maybe the people in the cult were worried that he would reveal the secret, so they killed him."
Second Master Qi raised his head and looked at us: "From what you said, do you know who Xiao Wu was killed by?"
"It's the Black Devil Sect!" I blurted out.
"What is the Black Evil Ghost Cult?" Second Master Qi asked back.
Wen Qingshan took a step forward and said: "The Black Devil Sect is a very evil mysterious organization! Now that I have said this, I will not hide it from you. I am afraid that the Black Devil Sect has been staring at this treasure for more than a day or two. Maybe it has been since the beginning.
From the beginning, the Dashun Treasure was under their strict surveillance."
Second Master Qi was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
Wen Qingshan told Second Master Qi our analysis. When Second Master Qi heard Wen Qingshan say that Qiyun Temple might believe in the Black Evil Ghost Sect, he did not believe it anyway. So Wen Qingshan told us in*
We also told him what happened in the *dong, but he was still hesitant to believe it. No matter what we said, he insisted on one thing: we cannot break ground in the village!
