The sound of reading is loud and clear, and the students are eager to write at their desks...
The academy has been abandoned for hundreds of years. Walking among the weeds, every time you pass by the wooden windows that are either open, ajar, or closed, it seems that there is always the sound of reading coming out of the window and entering your ears...
"What a pity!" Cui Mingdao looked at the doors and windows with peeling red paint and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
Li Taiping gently stroked the beams of the cloister, feeling the sense of corruption coming from the wooden beams, and said: "Yes, what a pity! If anyone in this world can recreate the grandeur of the academy and benefit students all over the world, he will definitely be able to write seals and set up monuments to remember
history!"
Hearing this, Qiu Yi Nian said: "When Mr. Tantai came to Daxing, the teacher discussed this matter with Mr. Tantai. He hoped that he could start classes here, but Mr. Tantai declined. The teacher told the teacher that I
If the lecturer must make a wedding dress for Tuoba Jiong, wouldn't it make the world more chaotic?"
Li Taiping and Cui Mingdao sighed again after hearing this. They sighed for this academy and for the scholars all over the world.
In the thick of autumn, I came to a square paved with large bluestones. I saw three stone monuments as tall as one person standing in the center of the square. On the left and right of the stone monuments were two pure copper beasts. "Tianfa Seed Regulation Monument"
Unfortunately, the monument broke into three sections. People in Jiangning City now call it the three-section monument.
The autumn breeze walked around the three sections of the monument twice, and finally stopped on the bluestone about a foot behind the monument. He lightly stepped on the bluestone on the ground twice, and then smiled and said: "It is indeed here!"
Li Taiping also followed suit, lightly stamped his foot twice, and said in surprise: "It's empty down there. Could it be that this is the entrance? But how can I get in? Don't tell me that I have to dig out this piece of bluestone?"
"Dig it out? Don't be kidding, this piece of bluestone weighs no more than 10,000 jins!" Cui Mingdao measured the size of the bluestone and at the same time knocked on the big bluestone with an iron fan and said.
Li Taiping touched the sword box and said, "Why don't you just be more violent?"
Qiu Yi Nian smiled when he heard this and said: "When the Xie family repaired the river, they spent a lot of money to hire a Mohist ranger, so the bluestone entrance must be opened by a mechanism."
"My master has mentioned the Mohist ranger before, and he highly praised it, saying that no one in the world today can beat the Mohist ranger." Li Taiping said.
Qiu Yi said with a thick smile: "As for astronomy and the movement of heaven and earth, the academy is indeed not as good as the Mo family, so to activate the mechanism, the three of us have to use our brains together!"
Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. Whoever believes this is a fool. There are specialties in the industry, and if you ask the ravioli seller to weave, even ten wonton sellers can't compete with one experienced weaver. So this professional thing,
It should be left to professional people. Some unprofessional instructions will only add chaos and obstruction.
But at this time, where could Li Taiping and the others go to find professionals? They couldn't make this matter public, and they didn't have time to find the Mohist rangers. The three of them could only pretend to be sensible and ponder it in the square.
I saw the three of them, Li Taiping, touching the three sections of the stele at one moment, the bronze beast at another, and then knocking on the bluestone beneath their feet, bumping around like three headless flies.
Maybe God opened his eyes and felt pity, and wanted to help the three little guys. A gust of wind blew, and Li Taiping suddenly lost his eyes. This man was blinded by the dust, and would reflexively lower his head and softly
Li Taiping was rubbing his eyes, then suddenly stopped and squatted down to touch the bluestone under his feet.
The big bluestone feels cold and rough to the touch, but this is not the key. The key is that the big bluestone under Li Taiping's feet has indentations, and they are square indentations.
Li Taiping looked at the strange beast not far away, and then at the bluestone under his feet. Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile: "Found it! Look at mine."
As he spoke, he came to the alien beast, grabbed the two front hooves of the alien beast, exhaled and said "Get up!". The bronze alien beast, worth a thousand gold, was slowly lifted up by Li Taiping...
The bronze beast was moved by Li Taiping to the big bluestone that he was standing on just now. He saw that the big bluestone slowly sank for more than a foot and stopped moving.
Li Taiping looked at the strange beast for a while, then found that there was no movement. He couldn't help scratching his head and said: "Why is it unresponsive? You don't want to recite the incantation, do you? I don't know how to do this. The old Taoist priest has never taught the talisman incantation!"
Qiu Yi smiled and came to another strange beast. With a wave of his hand, the strange beast flew to the side of the other strange beast. The big blue stone dropped another foot. As the blue stone dropped, Li Taiping suddenly
I heard the sound of stirring iron ropes coming from the entrance.
The large bluestone at the entrance dropped several feet, revealing a passage that slanted downward. The three of them came to the entrance and looked at the dark corridor. They saw Cui Mingdao reaching into his arms and actually taking out three luminous pearls the size of pigeon eggs.
After receiving the Night Pearl, Li Taiping sighed: "People who rob tombs and dig for treasures use fire to break the pearls. How good is your Cui Mingdao? You used priceless Night Pearls instead, and you only got three of them at once. Poverty really limits people's imagination!"
"That's a lot of nonsense, no need to pay me back." Cui Mingdao said angrily.
The passage was very long. After several twists and turns, a straight corridor appeared in front of the three of them. They saw that the entire corridor was made of large pieces of bluestone, and the bluestones around it were wet. It was obvious that this corridor was at the bottom of the Qinhuai River.
The corridor was cold and damp, and the dim luminous pearl could illuminate the space one foot in front of him, making it look particularly eerie. Li Taiping shook the luminous pearl in his hand and said with a smile, "I was in such a hurry that I didn't prepare any black donkey hooves or candles!"
Cui Mingdao glared at Li Taiping and said, "We are treasure hunting, not digging graves. Why are you preparing all these things? Are you bored?"
"Shouldn't I relieve the tension? You have no sense of humor at all, it's so boring!" Li Taiping said as he walked away.
A thick stone door blocked the way for the three of them. The stone door and the wall were so tightly sealed that neither water nor a needle could penetrate.
Li Taiping touched the smooth stone door for a long time and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "There isn't even a keyhole, how are you going to open it?"
Cui Mingdao tried to push the stone door, but saw that the stone door did not move at all. He was very unhappy and said: "Is the Yuchi family building a treasure room or an ancestral tomb? Why bother making it so troublesome?"
The autumn breeze slapped the stone door with a palm, causing the entire passage to shake. Li Taiping was so frightened that he said hurriedly: "Sir, please don't use violence. I'm afraid that I can't bear your slaps here. Otherwise, the door won't open and we will be killed in Qinhuai."
Down the river!”
Facing Shimen who refused to give in, the three of them were in trouble this time. They couldn't help but look at Shimen who was helpless. Not only Li Taiping and the others were helpless, but the county guards on the Qinhuai River were also helpless.
Yuchi's treasure is located under the Qinhuai River, but there is no entrance mark. This is difficult to damage Mao Santang. We can't cut off the Qinhuai River and dig downwards. Not to mention that Tuoba Jiong will not agree with this method, it is Jiangning City's
Ordinary people would not agree.
The leader of the Little Knife Gang winked at his subordinates, and then he saw his subordinates blending into the crowd, dragging Sang and yelling...
"Lord Sheriff, why don't we let everyone in and search together? There is more power in numbers!"
The members of the Xiaodao Gang shouted out what everyone wanted, and the charlatans and treasure hunters joined in one after another. Some of them had already begun to rush into the government soldiers, trying to force their way in.
The leader of the Little Knife Gang looked at the commotion and raised his lips slightly, feeling very satisfied with the work his brothers were doing.
Some people are satisfied, while others are dissatisfied. Mao Santang looked at the restless crowd and couldn't help but frown. Don't let these jealous guys in. There is no progress on the government soldiers' side and they can't give an explanation. Let them in.
Well, I'm afraid that both sides of the Suzaku Bridge will suffer from rice seedlings, and even the Academy not far away will suffer from poisonous attacks.
When Mao Santang was having a headache, a soldier came to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Mao Santang regained his energy and looked at the crowd and said loudly: "Please be patient, the soldiers have already seen their faces.
It only takes a moment and a half for me to give you an explanation." The soldiers found the entrance to the academy, but they did not enter rashly, but hurriedly reported back to the county guard. The county guard had the confidence in his heart that he dared to say so.
None of Li Taiping knew how to learn mechanics, and God didn't help him this time, so Li Taiping had no choice but to take out his two swords and work as a coolie.
One man had two swords, and his body was spinning rapidly like a top. The thick stone gate was scattered and thinned layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this time, Li Taiping could not stop his hands, but he also kept saying: "My sword! This is the sword that I have nurtured for many years! You two followed me and did not enjoy any blessings, but you accompanied me to endure all the hardships in the world.
Suffering, I, the master, feel so uncomfortable!"
Cui Mingdao spat and said: "Be more agile with your hands and feet and stop gibbering! If Tuoba Jong leaves some soup for you when you get in later, it's up to you to choose."
Li Taiping looked bitter and resentful: "What if Tuoba Jiong didn't even leave a mouthful of soup?"
"My mother has a Nanhai sword box in her hand, and I, Cui Mingdao, decide to give it to you!"
The crying face turned into a smiling face, which happened in a blink of an eye. Li Taiping smiled and said: "You two have heard it. You are going to have a new home soon. Let's work harder and move to the new house!"
Li Taiping dug nearly a foot before he was able to dig through the stone door. Li Taiping stood inside the door and felt a musty smell coming to his face. He couldn't help but hold his breath, and then took out the Night Pearl and carefully observed the surroundings...
…
Walking into the stone door in the autumn mood, he frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't smell like rotting corpses, so there's no need to worry!"
The further Li Taiping walked forward, the more his heart sank. He saw empty shelves all around...
Yuchi's treasure house was very large. It was built along the river. It was no less than five feet wide. As for the length, Li Taiping had already walked for about a stick of incense and he hadn't even reached the end yet.
An empty box with its bottom in the air was kicked away by Li Taiping: "Tuoba Jiong was so cruel that he didn't even leave a single coin for me!"
No matter how big the treasure room is, it is not a bottomless pit. It will eventually come to an end. Li Taiping, who was at the end of the treasure room, stood there stupidly, looking ahead...
Cui Mingdao stepped forward, patted Li Taiping on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing here?"
Li Taiping pointed forward and said with his tongue tangled: "You - look!"
"Yours sincerely, Tuoba Jiong!" Cui Mingdao said while looking ahead.
Li Taiping turned around and glared at Cui Mingdao: "You think I can't read? I'm going to show you the five boxes in front of you!"
Cui Mingdao stepped forward and grabbed a handful of jewelry, and then threw it into the box. He said disapprovingly: "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world! I will collect all the jewelry in the five boxes for him."
, one hundred thousand taels of silver is as high as the sky!"
But at this moment, Qiu Yi came over, looked at the two of them and said something...
Li Taiping's face suddenly turned as pale as pig liver, he took a step forward, grabbed several handfuls of jewelry and stuffed it into his arms, and then ran towards the exit without looking back...
