Chapter 109: Breaking Mystery and Obtaining Treasure
Shi Jin looked at the portrait of the Patriarch behind Li Baicao infatuatedly. After a moment, he smiled knowingly as if he had some enlightenment.
Shi Jin lowered his body and looked at the portrait of the Patriarch. It was no longer the scene he saw every time he came in.
At this moment, in Shi Jin's eyes, the god-like patriarch nodded and smiled, and the spirit in his eyes also changed, looking straight towards a certain place, full of expectation.
Shi Jin tried hard to identify the direction he showed, followed his gaze point by point, and repeatedly compared the point where the ancestor focused with the actual point he was looking for, and the slight error between them. And that
Under Shi Jin's exploration, the place was the second square brick on the right hand side from the entrance.
Shi Jin saw through this and immediately pointed his hand in that direction and whispered to Li Baicao: "Baicao, stand on that square brick."
After Shi Jin finished speaking, he lowered his body and looked at other parts of the scroll carefully. The sickle held by the founder of the Baimowujue Sect seemed to be the most conspicuous at this time, lying across his chest. When he entered the door,
It looked as if an old man had exhausted all his strength, and the sickle was too heavy to carry. But at this moment, Shi Jin looked at the long and narrow blade of the sickle, but it was secretly buckling inwards, as if it was ready to go.
And there was a flickering cold light on the blade of the sickle, which was from thin to dense, and seemed to imply some direction. Shi Jin looked at it for a moment, his eyes followed the direction of the blade, and looked at it like a moon hook.
But what he happened to see was the stick held by the Patriarch in his other hand.
The sticks at this time are also different from those of the past. The lengths of the sections on the sticks are different, which is clearly not the same type as the bamboo sticks in real life. Since this picture is not a real thing, but it is
If the stick is drawn like this, if it is not a failure of the painting, then it must be the code of some riddle, secretly referring to something.
When Shi Jin thought of this, he stared at the cane in the painting more intently, as if a pair of sharp eyes had pierced into the painting, and his own soul was also integrated into it.
Shi Jin had been looking at the cane for a long time, and Shi Jin's eyes couldn't help but feel sore. He wished he could close his eyes at this moment and stop looking at the picture. However, Shi Jin's character did not return in vain.
The more difficult people are, the more vividly the tenacity in Shi Jin's heart comes into play.
Shi Jin looked at it, his eyes stung, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. Shi Jin gritted his teeth and insisted, but he didn't expect that through a layer of misty tears, the stick looked crooked.
stand up.
Shi Jin tried hard to maintain the current state, tried hard to think in his mind, and wrote down the twisting appearance and pattern of the stick. Shi Jin thought about it in his mind, silently wrote it down, and recited it again: "Left, right, right."
Left and right, left and right, left and right." Looking at the painting again, I realized that what I remembered was absolutely correct, so I stood up, pressed my knife and smiled.
Li Baicao didn't know what Shi Jin was mumbling just now. Seeing him smiling again now, he felt even more mysterious. He couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you..."
Shi Jin looked at Baicao with a smile and said, "I want to congratulate Baicao first!"
"The boss is joking, this war is imminent, why should I be happy? There are corpses everywhere in the city, so where can I be happy?" Li Baicao said, shaking his head and sighing.
Shi Jin smiled and said nothing, waved his hands to the two brothers, and said: "Come, carefully dig out the place where he is standing, and let's see what treasure it is."
"Baby? I inherited this old house from my master. How can I find any good treasures buried underground? Don't make fun of me anymore. Is it the entrance to the tunnel?" Li Baicao stepped aside and looked at the two
The brother from Shaohua Mountain lifted up the floor he was standing on just now and dug out the soil with a knife and shovel.
"I've already dug an entrance in the courtyard, so why bother looking for another entrance? I just came here, just curious, why didn't the Huang family use the tunnel to steal books, but didn't attract your attention. But now it seems
, this question is meaningless." As he spoke, Shi Jin looked at the pit that was getting deeper and deeper, and continued: "In this pit, there must be a treasure left to you by your master."
"Oh?" When Li Baicao heard this, his face was full of disbelief.
But at this moment, the two brothers who were digging the hole suddenly dropped their swords, squatted down and dug their hands into the hole. They immediately stood up and reported back happily: "The boss has found an iron box."
When Li Baicao heard this, his heart suddenly trembled and his eyes lit up.
Shi Jin smiled again and said loudly and forcefully: "Pick it up!"
After saying this, the two brothers from Shaohua Mountain handed over the not too big iron box, held it with both hands and presented it to Shi Jin.
Shi Jin waved to Li Baicao and said, "Baicao, come and see, is this the treasure of your Baiyuewujue Sect?"
Li Baicao moved closer and took a closer look. The iron box was about the size of half a floor tile. It was square on the outside and decorated with patterns of sickles and medicine baskets. It was really something they had no taste for. However, in this iron box
On one side of the box, there are thick iron rings connected in sequence to fasten the box. Other than that, there are no gaps in the box to show the opening and closing of the iron box.
"This..." Li Baicao fiddled with it in his hand, looking around, knocking and looking, as if he was eating a hedgehog. He was full of joy and expectation, but he couldn't make the move. He didn't know how to open it, and he couldn't help but
Feeling that he was slightly ridiculous, he laughed at himself and said: "Master, look at this... such a beautiful treasure of mine, but I don't have much ability. I can only hold it in my arms like a hydrangea and look at it." After that, he smiled embarrassingly again.
.
"Why bother Baicao? Your ancestor has already told you how to play the secret of this iron box!" Shi Jin looked at Li Baicao confidently.
"Master Patriarch?"
To be honest, apart from seeing him in paintings, Li Baicao has never seen his ancestor since he was a child. Not to mention that his ancestor told Li Baicao, not even a single sentence was left behind.
But Shi Jin just said that the ancestor told him, which completely confused Li Baicao.
Seeing Li Baicao's anxious look, Shi Jin couldn't satisfy his appetite anymore. So, he walked to the iron box, faced the ten thick iron rings towards him, and looked at the lines that had been set along them.
The trajectory, while silent in the mouth, "left, right, right, left and right, left and right, right and left." On the one hand, he kept moving the iron ring in one breath.
Sure enough, when Shi Jin buckled the last iron ring to the left into the groove on the surface of the iron box, the iron box was slowly opened by Shi Jin with one side of the iron ring as the axis.
Li Baicao took the opportunity to take a look inside, and his face turned pale with shock...
