Chapter 539: The Desert Returns(1/2)
"What...what is this? A turtle shell?" Gu Shaotang looked stunned.
Chang Xiaowen said with a hint of disgust and confusion: "This is the treasure you worked so hard to get back? What exactly is engraved on it? It's not Xixia script at all, and it doesn't look like Chinese characters."
"This is called oracle bone inscriptions, what is a turtle shell? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Fengli Dao began to show off his knowledge, "This oracle bone inscriptions have always hidden the secret history of ancient times. Maybe this is a treasure map somewhere! Look at this
The eye pattern engraved on it must refer to the destination where the treasure was found, and the words next to it are clues."
"Is it really what he said? What kind of treasure is hidden here? It's worth your efforts. It must be more valuable than the treasures in Blackwater City, right?" Gu Shaotang looked at Zhang Jin.
Zhao Huaian and Ling Yanqiu also cast curious glances, but they did not come over. The treasure was not their biggest concern.
Zhang Jin reached out and picked up the tortoise shell in the wooden box. His hand was heavy and dry, and after looking at it carefully and repeatedly, he finally determined why this thing looked so familiar.
"Why does this thing appear here? It shouldn't be."
Feng Lizao asked expectantly: "Is this a treasure map?"
"no."
"No? How is that possible!" Feng Lizao said, "Based on my many years of experience in the world, it is impossible for me to make mistakes. This must have something to do with the treasure."
"This Dragon Bone Book is indeed related to treasure." Zhang Jin glanced at him, but he didn't expect that his vision was quite accurate.
Fengli Dao asked again: "The Dragon Bone Heavenly Book sounds domineering when I hear it. What kind of treasure is it talking about?"
"Phoenix Gallbladder, also called Muchen Bead, is a treasure that does not belong to this world." Zhang Jin said calmly.
He really couldn't understand why there was such a thing in the world of Dragon Gate Flying Armor.
Although they are both Blackwater City, it is obvious that the world of Ghost Blowing Lantern and the world of Dragon Gate Flying Armor are completely different. One side is a legend of modern and ancient times, and the other side is a martial arts fantasy. They are completely unrelated.
Perhaps the system didn't even think about what the treasure was when it generated this dungeon mission, but instead wanted to recreate the specific image of the treasure based on its own guesses?
Zhang Jin took the piece of dragon bone scripture and pondered it for a while, then suddenly threw it on the ground, picked up the fine steel spear next to him, turned the tip of the gun upside down and pierced the turtle shell with one shot!
"What are you doing?" Fengli Dao exclaimed, "This is a clue related to the treasure!"
"Since it is something that does not belong to this world, it would be better to destroy it directly." Zhang Jin was indifferent. He even pulled out his spear and stepped on the tortoise shell with his foot.
Anyway, all the tasks have been completed, and the treasure is of no use to him.
Click!
When he stepped down, the tortoise shell was immediately broken into pieces.
There was some silence in the cellar for a while, everyone looked at his move!
However, nothing happened.
Zhang Jin retracted his foot and used the tip of the fine steel spear to flick the tortoise shell fragments. It was very normal and ordinary.
Well, it turned out that I was overthinking it and there was no conspiracy.
"It's okay if you don't want to give it to me, why waste it!" Fengli Dao looked at the fragments on the ground and sighed.
"It's boring, it's really boring." Gu Shaotang shook his head and sat back in his seat, "While the black sand storm is coming, let's share today's harvest. When the black sand storm stops, we will leave here immediately."
"Okay, I have no objection." Chang Xiaowen agreed.
"I don't need it, you can divide it among yourself." Zhao Huaian said.
"I don't need it either." Ling Yanqiu looked at Zhao Huaian, "Where do you plan to go after you leave here?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Zhao Huaian knew what she was thinking, but he didn't want to involve his children.
Ling Yanqiu took out the flute he carried with him and handed it over: "This is what you left behind. Now it returns to its original owner."
Zhao Huaian did not pick it up, but looked at the bamboo flute with sincere eyes. He recalled in his mind the woman who he fell in love with back then, affectionate and sad, and finally smiled with relief: "If you like it, I will give it to you. Do me a favor."
, take this flute and go to a place far away from the fighting in the rivers and lakes, and the disputes in the temples, to live a good life, with green mountains and green waters, and be free and at ease."
"how about you?"
"Me? I owe too much and I will never be able to pay it back in this lifetime."
"You avenged the Minister of Civil Affairs. You also killed Dongchang and Xichang to the point of fear. Isn't this enough?"
"Some things are not a matter of whether they are enough. There are many things in life that cannot be explained clearly. It all depends on one's own will."
"I understand, I will do as you say." Ling Yanqiu knew that the knot in his heart was still untied, and he was not the one to untie it. The only thing he could do was to be obedient and take his flute to a place far away from the disputes.
A place where you can live a carefree life.
"Thanks."
"There is no need to say thank you between you and me." Ling Yanqiu said.
When Zhao Huaian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded.
Zhang Jin listened to the conversation between the two not far away and shook his head secretly in his heart. Without experiencing the moment of life and death like in the movie, it would be difficult for the relationship between Zhao Huaian and Ling Yanqiu to progress further.
They were old friends in the past, but now they should be considered friends, but they are still not confidants or lovers.
On the other side, Feng Lizao, Gu Shaotang and others finished dividing the treasures brought out from Heishui City.
Gu Shaotang walked up to Zhang Jin with a sack and said, "These are for you, consider them as rewards. Without you, we would not have come out of Blackwater City alive."
Zhang Jin was a little surprised. He was about to refuse, but then he thought about it and accepted it: "Then I will be disrespectful."
"It's not much, so you don't have to be too happy. After all, we will fall into that dangerous situation, and you have an unshirkable responsibility." Fengli Dao added.
Zhang Jin watched the two of them leave, then turned around and took the sack to Su Huirong in the corner: "This is for you. The money in it is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Su Huirong raised her eyes and looked at him: "They gave this to you."
"If you give it to me, it's mine. They won't care if I give it to you again. If you don't want it, just give it back to them." Zhang Jin said.
"I want it!" Su Huirong heard this and simply took the sack and opened it. There was indeed not much money inside, just a few gold bars, more than twenty large silver ingots, and two silver ornaments.
It's really not much, but it's enough for her to buy a yard and a store to do some small shopping. It's more than enough.
"What about you? Don't take any?" she asked.
"If you don't take it, it's of no use to me anyway." Zhang Jin smiled nonchalantly.
The method of obtaining these gold, silver and jewelry is not considered legitimate income. After all, it is turned over to the state. If it is not legitimate income, he will not get the 1% commission given by the system, so he had no intention of searching for treasures in the first place.
, otherwise with his ability, as long as he uses the [Sky Star Bracelet] well, he can take as much treasure as he wants out of Blackwater City.
Su Huirong was not polite to him. She reached into the sack and grabbed a few silver ingots. She tilted her head slightly and looked in the direction of Ling Yanqiu. After much hesitation, she finally gave up.
Even if you share it with your heart, the other party probably won't accept it.
After dividing the treasure brought out from Blackwater City, everyone in the cellar went about their own business.
A black sandstorm is blowing outside, the wind is howling, and the sky is filled with yellow sand!
The whining sound of the wind came through the gap in the wooden door at the entrance, and it felt like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
This black sandstorm lasted longer than before. Finally, when the black sandstorm stopped completely, everyone moved away the stones blocking the door and returned to the ground, only to find that night had fallen.
The sky after the black sandstorm was cloudless, the stars were hanging upside down, the moon was like water, the clear light fell on the desert, and the yellow sand was reflected into silver sand.
"It's over." Zhang Jin jumped on the roof of the cellar entrance, looked around, and found that the scenery was different from the previous one.
A sandstorm is like changing the world.
The law!
Gu Shaotang and others led the horses out of the cellar, with sacks containing their own money hung on the horses' backs.
"The inn is buried. If we continue to stay here, we won't have anything to eat or drink. Let's leave first. If we are destined to meet again in the future, see you in the world!"
"Goodbye Jianghu! If you want to know anything in the future, you can come to Hangzhou to see me. I plan to open a restaurant there. I heard that the women in Jiangnan are all as gentle as water."
"When you have time, come to the grassland outside the customs and tell me your name, Buludu. The Tatar herdsmen will never treat you badly!"
On horseback, Su Huirong turned to look at Ling Yanqiu: "Where are you going? I'm not going back to the palace anyway. If you don't mind, let's be companions together, right?"
Ling Yanqiu glanced at her and did not answer, but went to say goodbye to Zhao Huaian.
Zhang Jindao didn't have anything to say, he just said "goodbye" lightly and then galloped off into the distance.
"This man is really cool and unrestrained. He is so busy with life and death that he doesn't take anything with him." Gu Shaotang sighed with some envy.
"Naughty? I think there is no coolness, only stupidity, the stupidity of a fool!" Fengli Dao curled his lips disapprovingly, "If you have money, don't use it as a turtle bastard! I really don't know why he went through all the trouble to do this?"
"Foolish people are lucky. Maybe they have already got what they want, but we don't know it! I won't say anything anymore. When I go back and settle down, I will come to see you in Hangzhou!" Chang Xiaowen laughed and turned around.
He called his Tatar companions and rode away towards the north.
Fengli Dao smiled and waved his hand, but when he turned his head, he saw Gu Shaotang staring at him: "Look what I'm doing, I didn't promise him."
"I didn't say anything. Don't forget, we only talk about business, not love. Come on!"
"Hey, wait for me! Drive! Let's go together..."
On the Longmen Sand Dunes, Zhao Huaian, Ling Yanqiu and Su Huirong looked at the people leaving in all directions.
"That's it, all the feasts in the world come to an end. Remember what you promised me." After Zhao Huaian finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and left.
Ling Yanqiu looked at his back for a while, then turned his horse and ran in the other direction: "Let's go."
"Huh?" Su Huirong was stunned for a moment, then a hint of joy flashed across her face, and she quickly chased after him.
To be continued...
