"Haha, hahaha..." Faced with the Taoist Priest's frame-up and Li Xiusheng's murderous intent, Zhao Yu suddenly laughed up to the sky and laughed for more than ten seconds before he said evilly, "Boss Li, when will I I said that the treasure must be hidden next to the corpse? Aren't you just guessing?"
"You!? Ahem..." Li Xiusheng was so excited that he coughed violently again.
"The reason why I mentioned why the corpse climbed to a high place is just to remind everyone!" Zhao Yu said, "The dead man had Qiu Cheng's suicide note in his hand, and he still wanted to climb so high. Why? why?"
When Zhao Yu asked, everyone was even more confused and looked at him with eyes wide open.
"Protect!" Zhao Yu wanted to clap his hands, but unfortunately his hands were cuffed behind his back, so he could only shake his head and said, "Qiu Cheng's descendants have to die at such a high place, just to protect the treasure and protect their old age. I miss you so much about the Qiu family!"
"Huh!" The Taoist leader snorted angrily.
"You are getting more and more outrageous as you talk, aren't you?" Li Xiusheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Outrageous, how could it be outrageous?" Zhao Yu said eloquently, "I ask you, Qiu Cheng's children and grandchildren ran into the mountains to escape the war, why did they go to such a cave instead of going to so many caves? What? Do you think this will be a random choice?"
"That... that cave is halfway up the mountain..." At this time, Professor Tian Dongmin couldn't help but interrupt and said, "The entrance of the cave is relatively hidden, so it can avoid enemies and wild beasts!"
"Old Tian, is there nothing wrong with you?" When Wang Taiming heard that Tian Dongmin was flirting with Zhao Yu, he became anxious and almost cursed the street.
Zhao Yu's face darkened, and he pointed at Tian Dongmin and said, "Yes, the old man said it too! The entrance of the cave is relatively hidden. What is hidden? Hidden means that it is not easy to be discovered?" Zhao Yu seemed to have caught something suddenly. Said, "The cave is big, deep and hidden. If I were Qiu Cheng, I would definitely consider where to hide the treasure!"
"this… "
Zhao Yu's words gave people a particularly weird feeling. They sounded like they were just making things up, but there was no way to argue with them.
"Things are just a few situations," Zhao Yu said again, "After the war broke out in Luya, Qiu Cheng's descendants wanted to go into the mountain to hunt for treasure, so according to the instructions of the treasure map, they found the cave !
"At that time, the Millennium Pine must have been there, and the cave must have been easy to find!
“However, after finding the cave, two possibilities emerged: 1. There was something wrong with their treasure map, it was lost, or it was incomplete. They only found the cave but not the treasure; 2. The treasure was found. , but in troubled times, it would be useless to take it out, and it would lead to death, so they did not touch the treasure;
"In short, they lived in that cave! On the one hand, they wanted to avoid the war, and on the other hand, they wanted to protect the treasure!
"But unfortunately, a plague or something happened later, and everyone died! So, the person holding Qiu Cheng's suicide note climbed to a high place before he died. He held the suicide note in his hand, maybe, just wanted to Let’s pass down the secret of this golden Buddha treasure!”
"Huh! That's nonsense," the Taoist Master said through gritted teeth. "There is no crescent crater in that cave, and there are no rainstones. There is nothing but an underground river!"
"Hmm..." Li Xiusheng pondered and agreed, "What the Taoist Master said makes sense. Treasures can't be hidden in underground rivers, right? No matter how stupid Qiu Cheng is, he will never hide the treasure in a flooded place. ! That’s the Golden Buddha! Also, if your inference is true, the treasure has most likely been tampered with, right?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Yu pretended to be annoyed and said to Li Xiusheng, "Boss Li, believe it or not! I said I know where the treasure is! When I say I know, I know! I am not a fool. If I do it now If I tell you all the answers, I won’t have any trump cards! Can you just kill me?”
"This..." Li Xiusheng glared at Zhao Yu and said, "Okay, since you are so sure, then I will believe you once! I will put the ugly words to the front. I, Mr. Li, am not a good man or woman. If you dare Lie to me and I will make you die an ugly death!"
Zhao Yu's hands were restrained and he could only shrug his shoulders as an answer.
So, the team moved forward again, heading towards the cave containing the remains of the ancients.
After the rain stopped, the sun finally broke through the clouds and mist to reveal its true appearance, and the forest was full of life with the chirping of cicadas and birds.
Although Zhao Yu appears calm on the surface, the psychological pressure can be imagined. Only he knew best in his heart that the treasure thing was purely made up, with no similarities or coincidences.
Therefore, on the way forward, he was still looking for opportunities to escape. However, Li Xiusheng's people always maintained a high degree of vigilance and showed no intention of relaxing.
Originally, Zhao Yu had an idea, which was to cooperate with the Taoist priest and break out of the siege together. However, the cautious Li Xiusheng has been personally guarding the Taoist priest and not allowing Zhao Yu any chance to approach him.
In fact, there is another important reason why Zhao Yu has to delay for so long, that is, a day and a half has passed since the system opened the "Gen Qian" hexagram, but the system has never sent any news of completion. This has never happened before.
Therefore, Zhao Yu hopes that if the adventure can be completed, will he get a powerful prop? Without anything else, just an invisibility cloak, he might be able to solve the problem!
However, Zhao Yu waited for a long time, but there was still no movement in the system in his mind.
What's even more terrible is that this journey went very smoothly. They didn't even arrive for two hours before they found the cave hidden halfway up the mountain!
Tsk tsk…
Seeing that the final showdown was getting closer, Zhao Yu's pressure inevitably increased. However, in order to prevent Li Xiusheng and others from seeing the flaw, he pointed to a forest in front of the cave and said in plain language:
"Look! Take a good look, are there pine trees growing in front of the cave, huh? Let me tell you, the thousand-year-old pine trees mentioned on the treasure map must have been here at the beginning! Look, these pine trees, How tall and tall it is, it will turn into a thousand-year-old pine after a thousand years, haha... "
Since the Taoist priest and the old experts had just been to this cave not long ago, they were familiar with the road and soon led everyone to the cave.
As the old experts said, the cave entrance is covered with plants, which is difficult to detect with the naked eye from the bottom of the mountain.
After entering the cave, there is indeed an extremely huge space inside, big enough to fit three or four basketball courts!
"Here!"
After entering the cave, the Taoist leader pointed upwards dejectedly, and everyone quickly saw that there was indeed a deep depression at the junction between the high cave wall and the cave roof. If I could only see it from below, I would have thought there would be some hidden cave there!
However, since the Taoist priest said that they had already searched there, there was no need for Zhao Yu to let them climb up any more.
"Okay, officer!" Li Xiusheng said coldly to Zhao Yu, "We have arrived at the cave! Next, it's up to you! I, Mr. Li, can use my reputation to guarantee that if you can really find the Golden Buddha , I will let you appreciate it enough, and then let you die happily! How about it?"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "That's cool enough! Then..." He looked around for a week, then pointed to the depths of the cave with his chin, and said, "Then come with me! The moment to witness the miracle will come soon. About to arrive!"
"Hey! How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me?" At this time, the Taoist priest was very angry. "There is an underground river connected to the cave. We have searched for it all! You are wasting your time. Kill these two policemen quickly. Bar!"
"Damn!" Zhao Yu cursed angrily, "Have you searched for it? Have you really searched for everything? Boss Li," Zhao Yu turned around and said, "Think about it carefully, if Crescent Crater and Raindrops Stones are so easy to find, why the hell do they call them hidden treasures?"
"But... water..." Li Xiusheng seemed hesitant, not knowing whose words to believe.
"Please, can you use your brains? You just look at it, but have you ever thought about history, huh?" Zhao Yu widened his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten the circumstances under which Qiu Cheng was cast into gold? Is it from Buddha!?”
"Ah? What...what's going on?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Please... please rain..." At this time, Tian Dongmin, who couldn't hold himself any longer, couldn't help but interrupt, "There's a severe drought in the world! In order to pray for rain, Governor Qiu teamed up with local wealthy businessmen to cast a golden Buddha to pray for blessings!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu puffed up his nose and said, "There is a severe drought! In other words, when Qiu Cheng hid the treasure, there was no water here, no underground river!"
"That... isn't right?" Li Xiusheng shook his head, "Even if there was no water at the time, Qiu Cheng should know that there will be water sooner or later, so he can't hide in a place like that?"
"Why not?" Zhao Yu shook his head, "For eternity? Why did Qiu Cheng hide the treasure? Let me tell you! He simply did it for his own future needs and to leave a way out for himself! How could he What are you thinking about hundreds of years from now
"Think about it, everyone! For his own selfish desires, Qiu Cheng even dared to subcontract the Golden Buddha that prays for the people. From a criminology perspective, this person is an extremely selfish person! For such a selfish person, there is nothing he can think of Just himself! Just like... just like the two of you—just like that!"
As he spoke, Zhao Yu pointed at Li Xiusheng with his chin, and then pointed at Taoist Priest Yuan Shucai.
Suddenly, the entire cave fell silent, and everyone was shocked by Zhao Yu's impassioned yet perfectly coherent reasoning.
"Okay!" Li Xiusheng nodded and said, "You are right, I am a selfish person! Let's go! I want to see if what you said is true and whether the Golden Buddha is in there or not!?"
