Chapter 15 Treasure
After looking around the hall, everyone focused their attention on the four brocade boxes on the table and the flat box on the long table. Everyone knows in their hearts that the inside is the focus of this mission, the secret treasure.
However, there are still murmurs in everyone’s heart, what a coincidence, this time four factions came, and there happened to be four brocade boxes on the table. Will there be a brocade box missing? These are just for everyone to think about. These boxes have been placed here for more than three hundred years, how could they suddenly disappear and appear suddenly?
Layman Yanming was still cautious, walked to the front of the square table, and did not rush to get the box, but carefully observed the front, back, left, and right sides, first knocked on the chair with the dagger, and even knocked on the chair. The futons also fell to the ground, and then they used a dagger to knock down all the brocade boxes, but nothing happened. In the end, he was still worried, and walked to the wall on his right, opened the three paintings and looked at them separately, but found no mechanism. Then he walked to the table and said to everyone: "It seems that there should be no institutions here, what do you think?"
The rest of you have been following Layman Yanming since they entered the secret land, and even stood still and dared not move when they arrived in the hall. There have been rumors about formations since ancient times, but in their age, formations have already become legends. Occasionally there are a few formation masters, and they are all verbal masters. I have never heard of any formation method that uses a few bamboo chips and a few stones to send out a formation to trap so-and-so, let alone use the whole The jujube forest faction has formed a large formation. This is obviously a great effort hundreds of years ago. Everyone's minds have long been shocked, and they have obeyed the master's instructions for a long time. They followed the lead of layman Yanming. Suggestion, how can everyone have objections? They all nodded and agreed.
Layman Yanming was very satisfied with their attitude, and said with a smile: "Jianghu is an unpredictable place, it's better to be more careful. You should also look around to see if there are other institutions in the hall. It is also your chance. What you get is your benefit."
Everyone looked at each other a few times, and they all dispersed, and went to check around the hall. Everyone also murmured in their hearts, could it be that layman Yanming has some intentions? Exchange brocade box? However, the hall is only this big, and everyone can see clearly what actions are going on, and they are not afraid of his actions. Maybe the seniors really have the intention to take care of the juniors, anyway, it's not a big deal to look around.
Sure enough, within a moment, everyone had finished searching without finding anything. It seems that the treasures in the hall are these boxes.
Layman Yanming saw everyone coming back, cleared his throat, and said: "According to the previous agreement, each of our four factions can choose a brocade box. Although the head of the Situ clan is the evil tiger gang, it should belong to the Ma Shaoxia faction, not a separate faction. Does Master Situ have any objections?"
Situ said calmly, "I have no objection."
Yes, how could she dare to object, the life just now was saved by others.
Layman Yanming went on to say: "Then, take the boxes in the order of holding the skins, from left to right, and from top to bottom on the map. What kind of things you get, each has his own fate." , he stood on the side of the table.
According to the order, the first one to pick up the boxes should be the Misty School. Wen Wenhai thought for a while, then walked up and carefully looked at the four brocade boxes on the table. They were exactly the same, without any difference. There was a layer of dust, which seemed to have been placed on it for a long time, he thought for a moment, and took the second one from left to right. He was about to open it to see what was there, but was stopped by Layman Yanming, who said: "There must be treasures in the box, and there are exactly four treasures, one for each person, and there is something to gain, but the things in each box are different." It may not be the same, there may be differences, if everyone knows what is inside each other, everyone will inevitably have a long-awaited heart, how about if everyone keeps a secret, does not open the brocade box here, and makes plans after leaving here? "
Everyone nods yes,
Wen Wenhai also put the brocade box into his arms and returned it to its original place.
Next came Wan Jianfeng Ma Xiangyang, then layman Yanming, and finally Tan Wu stepped forward to take the last brocade box. Everyone didn't watch it and put it in their arms.
After the distribution was complete, everyone's eyes turned to the flat box in the distance on the long table.
Layman Yanming walked to the far end of the long table, picked up the box, felt hard in his hand, and looked heavy. Looking carefully, it seemed to be carved from a whole block of stone. It seems to be a treasure, but for some reason it is not placed on the table, but thrown on the other side of the long table?
Layman Yanming walked to the table, passed the box to everyone, and then put it on the table, looked at everyone quietly, and said: "This is the only box left in this room, and there is no way to divide it equally. You can see if it is the same." Rock-paper-scissors, as we said before, who gets it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and felt absurd for a while, that the children of the rivers and lakes should use children's games to decide such important things. However, without this gentle method, who would hold back a sword when facing such a coveted treasure? It is hard to guarantee who will be the fisherman in the end.
Everyone could only acquiesce, and at this moment Ma Xiangyang said: "Senior, I have a suggestion."
Layman Yanming said with an unsurprising expression: "Shaoxia Ma just say it."
Ma Xiangyang said: "I have no objection to the method of rock-paper-scissors, but I still have a small request, that is, I hope that whoever gets this box will open it for us to see and see what is in it." What is it? What do you think?"
Layman Yanming pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and everyone else had the same thought. They would naturally know about their treasures when they go back. The things in this box may not be their own, so they must have a look.
Then, Layman Yanming arranged the order of boxing games, according to the order of taking the brocade box just now, with Misty Sect and Wan Jianfeng as a group, and Layman Yanming as a group with the Tan family.
Wen Wenhai and Xue Qing from Misty Sect looked at each other, Wen Wenhai nodded to Xue Qing, smiled encouragingly, and at the same time was full of embarrassment, Xue Qing stepped forward and came to the front of the square table, only she knew why senior brother His face was full of embarrassment. Anyone who played this game of guessing fist with him since he was a child, from losing to growing up, would be embarrassed when he mentioned this guessing game.
Wan Jianfeng only had Ma Xiangyang here, so he naturally wouldn't let Situ Ping come up with confidence. In fact, even if he assured Situ Ping to come up to guess punches, the leader of Situ would not dare.
Seeing the two people approaching, Layman Yanming said, "The rule of guessing boxing is naturally: scissors wins cloth, cloth wins rock, and rock wins scissors. Before starting, each person should be blindfolded with a silk scarf, and when I call one, Two, three, everyone punches at the same time. Then, take off the silk scarf, and we all see who wins and loses."
In the first round between Xue Qing and Ma Xiangyang, they both produced scissors, but in the second round, Xue Qing still produced scissors, but Ma Xiangyang produced cloth. When Ma Xiangyang took off the scarf for the second time, he withdrew regretfully. down.
The contest between Yanming Layman and Tan Wen is a set game, Yanming Layman is the rock and Tan Wen is the scissors.
The last round is the crucial one. At this time, Layman Yanming thought for a while, and signaled Situ Ping to put scarves on himself and Xue Qing. After Ma Xiangyang counted three numbers, he took out the scissors, took off the scarves, Discovering that Xue Qing is also a pair of scissors, he put on a veil again, thought for a while, and after counting three, came out with scissors again, only to find that the other party was still a pair of scissors. Selfishness is inside. He has been proficient in various miscellaneous arts since he was a child, such as boxing guessing, gambling, etc. He wins more and loses less. On the contrary, he has not been able to reach the pinnacle because of too much dabbling in martial arts. At this critical moment, I found out that the opponent was also a master. I was shocked and paid more attention to it. However, in the third game, Layman Yanming played cloth, while Xue Qing and Xue Xia were still scissors, without any changes. Layman Yanming tore off the veil, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he was in a cocoon, he knew how good the martial arts competition would be.
Not to mention the excitement on Xue Qing's face, Wen Wenhai took the box and was about to open it, but Layman Yanming stopped him: "Wait a minute, put it on the table, and pick it away with a sword from a distance, to prevent any traps." Wen Wenhai said as he said. Put it on the table, picked the box a few times with the tip of the sword, but couldn't find the position of the lid. He picked up the box again this time and looked carefully, only to find that the box was actually airtight. Breaking off, it didn't open either. The other people didn't open it either. Layman Yanming also picked up the dagger and pried it on the box, but it didn't work. In the end, he ignored Wen Wenhai's gaze and hacked on the box with the dagger, but it didn't move. Any trace of the box.
He finally understood why the box was thrown far away at one end of the bench.
He returned it to Wen Wenhai casually, and Wen Wenhai also carefully carried the box in his arms.
Seeing that there was nothing in the hall, everyone's thoughts had already flown to the medicine garden. Layman Yanming brought everyone to the medicine garden and said to everyone: "Everyone is not prepared enough, and I don't know if we can take away more medicinal materials. I suggest this time to bring some mature and preserved medicinal materials. Four copies, one for each group, regarding the transplanting of seeds, etc., we will discuss and decide after our four groups discuss. How do you all see it?"
Everyone had no objection, and then Layman Yanming led the collection field by field, and collected four portions of each mature medicinal material, packed them into four packages, and distributed one for each.
Finally, Layman Yanming said to everyone: "Since everyone has no chance, we can only give ourselves some comfort in the medicine garden. The ones just now are for their respective sects. Next, each of us is only allowed to pick three mature ones." Drugs are personal."
After finishing speaking, Layman Yanming took everyone to go through every medicine field again, and collected medicinal materials according to their own requirements. In fact, the medicinal materials that everyone knows are similar, most of which are ginseng, Polygonum multiflorum, Tianqi, and Shanjing. etc.
After finishing all this work, the light in the Midi was a little dim, and it must have been past noon outside, and everyone remembered to go out, and it took a long time to get in. Wouldn't it be night to go out? Layman Yanming smiled and comforted everyone: "Let's go out, just find a place to go, as long as you walk straight, you can go out. However, it's time to go, let's leave now."
After speaking, everyone picked up their parcels, followed Layman Yanming to find two jujube trees in the middle of the sour jujube forest, and went straight away.
Everyone didn't know that when their people entered the sour jujube forest, the head of a snake-headed monster poked out from the hot and scary lake, stared at where they were walking for a while, and then shrunk into the water, leaving only the surface of the lake. Ripples in circles.
