Murong Xi deliberately provoked the patriarch. The patriarch's words were somewhat contradictory. Just after she said that she should not be tempted by the Taoist priest's words, she also said that the Taoist priest once told her about the map. In fact, she knew that the patriarch just believed in her.
, has nothing to do with the Taoist priest.
After listening to Murong Xi's words, the patriarch lowered his head and said: "I know the saint's concerns. In fact, I really don't believe what the Taoist said, but he attaches great importance to the treasure map. I only heard him mention it once. It may still be the case later.
He didn’t quite trust me and didn’t say much.”
The implication is that the patriarch believed that the Taoist priest would not lie about the treasure map, and he did not say much about it, he just mentioned it.
"I don't have any worries. Anyway, I looked at that map many times and couldn't see anything unusual. It looks like just a painting. It looks very much like a tribe and very much like a mountain lock.
." Murong Xi shrugged and said.
Murong Xi's tone was full of helplessness, as if she couldn't solve the riddle no matter what.
This gave the clan leader confidence, and he subconsciously believed that only he could solve the mystery. However, he would not tell Murong Xi everything in secret. He always had to be careful in order to survive.
So, he said: "No, that is not an ordinary treasure map. The secret of this map cannot be explained in one sentence or two. The content drawn on it is somewhat different from what we thought."
The people at the scene naturally knew what the different places were. The place painted in the painting was the tribal mountain range, which was very close to the location of the mine. But in fact, after taking the map apart, it was discovered that the painting was actually about locks.
I just don’t know the map of the ancient tomb on the mountain. How much does the clan leader know, or does he know everything?
"Oh? What's so special?" Murong Xi asked.
The clan leader opened his mouth and said seriously: "I need to see the map to explain clearly."
The clan leader thought that Murong Xi would eagerly take out the map and ask him to explain. Who knew that Murong Xi just nodded and didn't give him any reaction.
"It's better for the clan leader to go back and rest first. I've been very depressed in the darkroom these days." Murong Xi didn't let go and took out the map, but just asked the clan leader to have a good rest.
Now the clan leader is anxious. Isn't Murong Xi anxious to know the secret of the treasure map? Why is she so unhurried? Is she trying to test herself?
The clan leader was wary of Murong Xi simply because he did not trust Murong Xi. He would rather believe the words of the witch master than Murong Xi.
Therefore, after Murong Xi finished speaking, the patriarch still stood there motionless. Ji Limo said: "Chief, why have you reacted so slowly since you came out of the ancient tomb? Didn't you hear what the saint said?"
Of course, not only Ji Limo, but Murong Xi also felt that the patriarch simply didn't trust him.
"Maybe it's because I was poisoned, so my reaction is indeed a bit slow. However, what I said is true. I do know the secret of the treasure map, but I'm not sure if it's true. After all, it was the Taoist priest who said it.
If so, if he also lies to me, I’m afraid no one will be able to solve the secret of the treasure map." The clan leader sighed helplessly.
The clan leader was very smart and cleared away his responsibilities first. The clan leader would definitely not tell us the truth about the secret of the treasure map, but he must know the secret of the treasure map, so he wanted to see the treasure map as soon as possible. His
The purpose is to know whether his guess is correct, and he will not tell the truth to them at all.
In the end, it can all be blamed on the Taoist leader. It was the Taoist leader who lied to him, and they were helpless against the clan leader.
However, the clan leader was too happy because Murong Xi had no intention of accepting the move.
"Well, I understand. There is no rush now. You can go back and think about it carefully. If you are sure that the Taoist priest is lying, then there is no need to look at the treasure map. Anyway, the treasure map looks like a landscape painting.
, except that it depicts a treasure box, there is no trace of it being a treasure map." Murong Xi said slowly.
Feng Mingye looked at Murong Xi's proud look and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Because he saw the clan leader's embarrassed face with his peripheral vision while sitting aside, the smile gradually stiffened and stayed on his face.
"That's fine, I'm afraid that the Saint is in a hurry, so I want to help you clear up your doubts as soon as possible," the patriarch said.
"After hearing the patriarch's previous experience, I actually sympathize with you." Murong Xi said.
The clan leader did not expect that Murong Xi would not answer the question at all. He knew that it would be impossible to see the treasure map today, so he said to Murong Xi: "This has all passed, and I will never be so confused again."
"I wonder if there is anything else you forgot to say?" Murong Xi asked.
It stands to reason that Murong Xi should already know what he said. After all, Ji Limo would not hide it from her. Could it be that Murong Xi doesn't trust him and has been testing him?
But he had already said a lot, even when he was practicing with the Taoist Priest, why did Murong Xi ask him again and again?
"Holy girl, I don't know what you are referring to. I think you should already know the experience I told the witch master. When I was very young, the Taoist priest chose me. Firstly, because
I was originally a member of the Fengtian Sect, and the second reason was because of the Saintess clan. Later, he told me something about the ancient tomb, and took me into the ancient tomb. But, I don’t know what, he suddenly
Disappeared. I have not seen him again in these years. So, I have no way to confirm whether he lied to me. But he told me that as long as I find the treasure map, he will appear again. Since
You have found the treasure map, and I believe he has appeared. But he has not appeared, so..." The patriarch hesitated and did not continue.
Murong Xi said, "Maybe he didn't show up because the treasure map is fake, or maybe he lied to you."
The patriarch nodded and said: "Yes, since the treasure map is real, then he should appear. Although I don't believe what he said, he never broke his promise. When the witch master said that he had a treasure in his hand,
When I took the picture, the first thing I thought of was that the treasure map was fake. But I knew you didn’t believe me, so I could only keep silent.”
"You don't mean that the Taoist priest lied, but that the treasure map is fake, right? You would rather believe what the Taoist priest said than what you saw with your own eyes, right?" Murong Xi asked.
The patriarch shook his head and said: "No, how could I believe the Taoist Priest? Why am I so eager to know whether the treasure map is true or false? In fact, I just want to make sure whether the Taoist Priest is lying."
"It doesn't matter whether the Taoist priest tells you a lie or not. It doesn't matter whether the treasure map is true or false. Patriarch, don't rush to explain. It's better to go back and have a good rest." Murong Xi said coldly.
Ji Limo asked the men in black to send the clan leader back to the side hall. Feng Mingye said, "Since you brought him here, why don't you let him see the map?"
Murong Xi said: "He wants to see the map so much. If he really knows the secret of the map, then he will not separate the map like A Lan. But if he does not separate the silk, he will not know the treasure map.
Secret. You have also seen that he does not trust me, so it is impossible to separate the silk. In this case, why is he eager to see this treasure map? "
Murong Xi thought of something from the patriarch's words. She didn't know whether it was accurate or not, but she could feel it. There were secrets in the treasure map that they hadn't figured out, at least not before they were separated.
"You mean, he knows the secret of the treasure map being inseparable?" Feng Mingye asked.
He sensed the meaning of Murong Xi's words. The clan leader was a greedy person and would probably not tell the secret of the treasure map. In their opinion, if the treasure map was not separated, there would be no clues. And the clan leader would not tell the secret of the treasure map.
This secret tells them that there is only one thing that is certain, that is, the patriarch knows the secret of the five-layer map.
"Yes, that's what I mean. Unless he wants to steal the map, but do you think he has that ability? So, he may not know that the map has five layers, but he must know the secret before separation."
Murong Xi said.
"What is the secret? We looked over the map over and over, but we didn't see any problems." Ji Limo also said helplessly.
"Because we only determined that the picture in this picture was the mountain range of the tribe, we have always believed that this place is indeed the tribe's place. But later we found that the picture was almost the same as Suo Shan. Because of the treasure chest, we did not pay attention to the mountain range.
As I walked towards the direction, I only noticed the conspicuous treasure box. The whole painting was gray and white, and only this treasure box had red in the gray. Don't you think it's a little strange? Especially after separating the silk painting, I found that the place where the treasure box was painted was not clear at all.
It's no longer bright." Murong Xi said.
"The strange thing is that the treasure box can be clearly seen when they are put together, but after they are separated, the treasure box cannot be found. But when the silk paintings are put together, no problem can be seen.
"Feng Mingye said.
"That's why I changed my focus temporarily. I was worried that after he looked at the map, he would discover some incredible secrets." Murong Xi said.
"I see. What are your plans? Take out the map and study it?" Feng Mingye asked.
Ji Limo did not take away the map, but placed it with Murong Xi. Murong Xi took out the map and placed it on the table. She put the treasure maps together in order, and the obvious treasure box immediately appeared.
.
The three people looked at the map seriously in a daze, trying to find the answer from the map. However, they miscalculated and did not see any changes.
The treasure box is still the same treasure box, and the mountains are still the same mountains.
"Why is this happening? Is it because I think too much?" Murong Xi murmured.
"No, your analysis is correct, it's just that we didn't find the reason. I still remember how excited he was when he heard me mention the mountains and the treasure chest. I believe he must know something, but it's not the same as opening it up.
The silk drawing should have nothing to do with it." Ji Limo said it clearly.
Murong Xi put away the map, thought for a while and said: "It seems that this map still needs to be understood by Allan. It is clear to anyone who is watching. Maybe after telling him, he can see anything from the map."
"That's fine, since we don't have any clues for the time being, let him come over and have a look later." Ji Limo said.
