Chapter 171 Huge Treasure
The shortcoming of practicing "The Broken Jade Book" mentioned by Xiao Lezi was like a stone weighing on Yang Ning's heart. Until dawn, he never closed his eyes again.
Xiao Lezi, on the other hand, sat cross-legged and practiced Qigong all night.
Yang Ning thought about it until she got up in the morning and figured it out. The only solution now is to hope that Xiao Lezi's progress in cultivation will be slower. After practicing for eighty years, he will be dead by then. It will be considered the end of his life. .Then this fatal flaw is nothing.
He walked to the stone path and listened carefully for a while through the cracks in the stone. After confirming that the wolves outside had dispersed, Yang Ning carefully moved away the stones blocking the stone path.
Originally, Yang Ning thought that there must be a scene dripping with blood in the valley outside. She also had no hope of finding the cow bone pendant around Zhao Quan's neck. Who knew that when he climbed up the gentle slope, the scene in front of him was completely unexpected. To his surprise, he saw that the corpses of men in black all over the ground were basically intact. They were no different from last night. The only change was that there were many more wolf prints and wolf droppings in the valley.
"Hey, what's going on? Could it be that the taste of the prairie wolves has changed from meat to vegetarian?" Yang Ning said strangely to the little Lezi beside him while being happy.
"I think the corpses I killed were too cold and hard for the wolves to be interested in," Xiao Lezi explained.
"Oh. That's it." Yang Ning couldn't wait to walk to Zhao Quan's body and opened his collar. God bless, the ox bone sword-shaped pendant is still hanging on Zhao Quan's neck.
Yang Ning grabbed it in his hand and looked carefully. Sure enough, the shape of the pendant matched the small hole in the groove. Overjoyed, Yang Ning couldn't wait to return to the stone hall and inserted one of the small holes. .Can't get it in. Try another one. Once it goes in, it fits perfectly.
Yang Ning looked at the stone door on the stone wall. There was no movement for a long time.
It seems that this cow bone pendant is indeed the "key" to open the mechanism. But it is only "one". There are two holes here. Then there should be another "key". Only two "keys" have been inserted. Only then can the mechanism be opened. So where is the other "key"?
To open the mechanism, these two "keys" must be gathered together. And Zhao Quan will never be stupid enough to put these two "keys" on himself. And there is a group of black people here to protect the treasure for him. That is the most valuable The person who may be keeping the other "key" should be...
Yang Ning hurriedly ran out of the stone hall and ran directly towards the body of the leader of the men in black. Xiao Lezi followed Yang Ning in and out, watching Yang Ning busy with her work.
Sure enough, the leader of the men in black also had an ox bone pendant hanging on his neck. It was just in the shape of a "knife".
Zhao Quan, this old boy, is indeed cunning and cunning. He does everything flawlessly. Although he lets so many people in black guard his treasure, he must be wary of some of them taking advantage of the wealth. And like this, he controls a key and leaves it to the man in black. The leader is the safest and most appropriate method.
When the two ox bone pendants were inserted into the two stone holes, the stone door on the stone wall finally made a "zapping" sound. When Yang Ning looked at it, he saw that the stone door slowly sank into the ground, revealing a black hole. 's entrance.
Yang Ning and Xiao Lezi each took a torch. Xiao Lezi stood in front of Yang Ning and carefully entered the stone door.
Under the light of the torch, Yang Ning discovered that in front of him was a cave that was even larger than the stone hall outside. He could also vaguely see a pile of small mountain-like objects in the corner of the cave.
After confirming that there was no danger, Xiao Lezi flew up and lit up the torches on the stone walls around the cave one by one. The whole cave suddenly became bright. Only then did Yang Ning see clearly that the pile of hill-like objects in the corner of the cave were actually dozens of large wooden boxes. As he approached, At first glance, these large wooden boxes are all thick and hard mahogany boxes. The exteriors are uniformly painted with red paint. The boxes are also tied with iron hoops. They look extremely strong. Yang Ning roughly counted them. I am afraid these large wooden boxes are no less than seventy or eighty. The number of boxes. What is contained in these large wooden boxes is probably Zhao Quan's treasure collection.
When Xiao Lezi opened one of the boxes, brilliant white silver light immediately scattered out. Yang Ning's eyes immediately straightened. This was a box full of fifty taels of silver ingots. They were all fat and round-headed. People like it.
Xiao Lezi opened another box. Yellow golden light scattered out. This box was actually another box full of fifty taels of gold ingots. All of them were genuine and pure gold.
Another box was opened. Colorful and gorgeous light scattered out. This was a box of jewelry and jade. There were many precious accessories such as black pearl necklaces, emeralds, agate bracelets, and fine jade pendants.
…
After a while, all the big wooden boxes were moved to the ground one by one by Xiao Lezi and opened flat. Boxes of gold ingots, gold cakes, silver ingots, silver cakes, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, a dazzling array of everything. Yang Ning. I finally believed what Zhao Quan said. The total value of the contents in these wooden boxes is definitely more than 10 million taels of silver.
This Zhao Quan is really good at "fishing".
"Lezi, we're going to get rich this time." Yang Ning said excitedly, shaking Xiao Lezi's shoulders.
Seeing such a huge amount of gold and silver jewelry, Xiao Lezi didn't have much excitement on his face. But seeing Yang Ning so happy, he also became happy.
After being happy, Yang Ning became worried again. Each of these large wooden boxes in front of him almost weighed several hundred kilograms. Some even weighed over a thousand kilograms. And the quantity was so large. If he wanted to transport it away, he would have to find the same quantity. A carriage will do, but that will inevitably reveal the secret of the treasure. Besides, even if it is transported, there is no telling where it will be transported for a while.
After much deliberation, Yang Ning finally decided not to move the gold and silver jewelry for the time being. This cave is hidden and safe. Moreover, Zhao Quan and the men in black who knew this place were also dead. As long as he kept the two "keys" ". It won't be too late to wait for the right time to pick it up in the future.
Tell Xiao Lezi this decision. Xiao Lezi naturally obeys his orders and has no objections.
Yang Ning found another box containing jewelry and jade. After thinking about it carefully, he began to rummage through it. Xiao Lezi went outside the stone hall to have some fun.
After searching for a long time, Yang Ning finally picked up what she wanted...gifts for the girls.
What surprised Yang Ning was that from these boxes, Yang Ning found one, the only round bead that was crystal white and radiant. Although he had never seen such beads before, Yang Ning also I know that this is an extremely precious and rare "night pearl" that has only been heard in legends. Moreover, this "night pearl" is crystal white and does not contain a trace of impurities. It is the size of a pigeon egg, which shows that it is extremely valuable.
Unexpectedly, such a rare and rare thing in the world would be collected by Zhao Quan.
Originally, Yang Ning's first thought was to give this unique and priceless "Night Pearl" to Shui Ling. The little girl's true and pure love for him, and her sharing of hardships with him, made it occupy his heart. An extremely important and irreplaceable position.
But later Yang Ning still gave up this year. This "night pearl" is too dazzling and dazzling. It is not suitable for water spirits. Humanity is "a man is not guilty, but a jade is guilty". There is no need for his feelings towards the little girl. It has to be measured by these common things. Yang Ning finally decided to give this "Night Pearl" to Concubine Li. With the respect of a dignified concubine, she has such deep affection for her "little eunuch". She definitely deserves this precious "Night Pearl". ”.And it’s very worthy of her noble status.
What Yang Ning finally decided to give to Shui Ling was a green and clear heart-shaped warm jade pendant. The pendant's thread was made of pearls the size of rice grains connected with silver thread. It was very beautiful. This pendant was not too expensive. But the reason why Yang Ning chose this one was that she had some considerations. First, it is said that wearing warm jade is good for the human body. And this pendant also expresses her warmest and most considerate care for the little girl.
For Wen Ziyan, Yang Ning originally wanted to give her a top-quality purple jade bracelet similar to the one worn by the library girl in her previous life. But after picking and choosing, she couldn't find anything comparable to it. Finally, she chose a color. A slightly less pure purple jade bracelet. Although not as good as the one worn by the girl in the library, it is still quite precious.
What Yang Ning prepared for Liu Biyao was a pair of black pearl necklaces made of dark jade. The pearls were round and crystal clear. They exuded a mysterious and coquettish black light, symbolizing nobility and elegance. Thinking of that stubborn, beautiful, lonely woman, Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a throbbing feeling in his heart. After returning to Datong and before returning to the capital, he must search for traces of Liu Biyao in Shanxi and Shaanxi as soon as possible and bring her back to the capital. He had already considered it. This matter should not be taken seriously. A large-scale search. I can only have some fun and search secretly.
Regarding Princess Yongning, Yang Ning thought twice and finally decided to give her a fine flying phoenix jade pendant. This jade pendant is the top grade Hetian warm jade. It is also rare in the world. It is very precious. The most important thing is that it represents neither It doesn't seem noble and holy. It doesn't appear to be overly intimate. It's just in line with Princess Yongning's noble status. It's also in line with his current relationship with Princess Yongning.
Although she may not return to the grassland in a short time, Yang Ning still carefully selected a gift for Nuomin. A pair of jade bracelets that are so green that they are emerald green. They also secretly fit Nuomin's noble title of "Jasper Princess". Although the two of them did not come to a clear result in the end, they were both still young according to their age, so they were not in a hurry. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future. When I see her again in the future, I will give her this pair of jade bracelets.
It took Yang Ning a lot of thought to choose these gifts for the girls. In the end, even Ying'er. Yang Ning also prepared an agate stone bracelet for her. But for Lan Feifeng, forget it. After all, it's still good. I don't know her well enough.
