With a crooked smile on her lips, she walked up to Zheng Xiu with her head held high.
"Tell me, do I look better with it on, or do I look better without it?"
Xie Luohe took off his mask. On the beautiful face behind the mask, Zheng Xiu's surprised expression was reflected in the clear and bright eyes. Deep down, there was an imperceptible look of expectation.
Zheng Xiu didn't answer.
He felt that this seemed to be a very famous proposition.
Seeing that Zheng Xiu didn't answer, Xie Luohe snorted, took another step closer, and asked again: "Do you think I look better dressed like her, or do I look better dressed like her?"
Zheng Xiu was not sure just now, but now he is convinced.
It's not a question, it's a question.
There is obviously a standard answer to this kind of question.
After Xiao Tao, Zheng Xiu asked Dugu Xiang, Xie Luohe, and Cheng Xiao to hold up a painting. He circled the round table several times and adjusted the positions of the four of them. All four paintings were facing outward.
At this time it is better to let Xie Luohe make the decision.
"Brother Zhang, please stay."
Cheng Xiao held the knife and said coldly: "I only want one knife."
Zheng Xiu knew that he was in an illusory memory. Even during this process, during this experience, there were many times when Zheng Xiu was in a trance and had difficulty distinguishing between falsehood and reality. But in the end, he knew who he was and what he was.
do what.
Xie Luohe's silver bell-like laughter came from below again: "Dugu Daxia, if you really want to find that place, let the fat man come in. He is the most well-informed person in the world."
The box is completely black, formed in one piece, and is natural. A row of hair-thin holes can be vaguely seen on the surface of the box. If Zheng Xiu guessed correctly, these holes should be used to provide oxygen when "ignition" is needed.
Such exquisite forging technology comes from the craftsmanship of Hidden Sword Villa.
Xie Luohe curled his lips: "Who do you think I am? Why are you killing me without any injustice? They chased me down the mountain. I threw the fake painting to them and let them snatch it away."
There are two corridors in the southeast and northwest, and the wind roars sharply in the cave.
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he asked curiously: "Then why did you come?"
The four pictures are spread out flat on the round table.
When everyone saw Xie Luohe's move of "accepting the guy", they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Or maybe there were just two corn cobs inside, waiting for Dugu Xiang to grab the real painting when he took it out of the box.
But all kinds of speculations were driven out of Dugu Xiang's mind when he recalled the amazing force displayed by Xie Luohe.
The huge lock has nine grids arranged in nine palaces, with different weapon patterns on it.
"Walk!"
Xieluohe's archery skills are obvious to all.
Bai Xiaosheng pointed to the eight characters on the fan.
Therefore, he had no need for Duke Nie's treasury.
Duguxiang has experienced it personally and has a deep understanding of it.
Zheng Xiu didn't answer and looked at Xie Luohe.
Without saying a word, Xie Luohe clapped his palms, rolled up the two paintings, put them in his hands, turned around and left.
The others were patiently watching Zheng Xiu's reaction. As soon as they saw Zheng Xiu's reaction, Xie Luohe stepped forward immediately and asked, "Where is it?"
Zheng Xiu curled his lips when he heard this, hung the "Luohe Brush" on his waist again, and said unhappily: "How do I know if you guys are colluding? By the way, where are the others? You all..." Zheng Xiu raised his palms and made a gesture
A "wipe your neck" gesture.
"Dear you, Dugu Xiang." Zhang Daerpi smiled but cursed secretly in his heart, but he quickly figured it out and wanted to understand everything. He took two steps closer to Dugu Xiang and lowered his voice and asked: "Zhang knows very well that Dugu Xiang
thought."
"I admire you!" Zheng Xiu looked at the fat man with admiration. Little did he know that just after Zheng Xiu finished praising him, Bai Xiaosheng said again: "But since it is a matter of dividing the spoils, if I don't take any of it, it will definitely make you feel uneasy. I agree to divide it into four equal parts."
"That's why I said I'm not sure." Zheng Xiu shook his head with a strange look on his face. He waved to Xiao Tao and motioned for Xiao Tao to hold up one of the pictures, with the picture facing outward, and stand on the side of the round table.
The smile on Zhang Dayer's face froze, and he was confused in the fire.
Zheng Xiu said with a dull face: "With all due respect, if what Xiao Tao said is true, the first sentence is very false."
To locate a location from the four paintings, Zheng Xiu could only think of hiding it in the form of a "map" in the scroll.
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
Bai Xiaosheng: "It's refreshing."
Bai Xiaosheng spat: "You know what the heck, that's called half-truth and half-falsehood. If I were really that easy to find, I would have been chopped to death by my enemies. But friends in the world gave me face, so the second half is probably true."
, if you really want to find Mr. Nie’s treasure house, you will need my connections and information.”
"Speak somewhere else."
Xie Luohe nodded with satisfaction and silently put an arrow back into the quiver.
Dugu Xiang smiled broadly: "That's it for tonight's painting appreciation party. Brother Zhang, please come back."
Dugu Xiang carefully took out the wrapped "Plum Blossoms and Snow" wrapped in layers from the black box, and turned to face the few people.
There is a locked box in the center of the round table.
"Pang Zhang..."
Zhang Dayer's eyes began to roll again.
"It's not because the puzzle of the Four Seasons is too difficult, but because... it's too simple."
As for the violent unlocking that Xie Luohe is good at, it is even more impossible. There is white phosphorus powder inside. White phosphorus is flammable. Once violent force is used, it will naturally ignite the white phosphorus inside.
Xie Luohe held the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Master Dugu, to open the lock."
Zheng Xiu smiled and said: "This is the picture of plum blossoms proud of the snow. The sky is covered with heavy snow and everything is withered. Only this plum blossom is independent and tenacious. It uses the 'death' of all things to highlight the 'life' of the plum blossom."
The 'bending' of all things is used to show the 'arrogance' of plum blossoms."
At that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
Zheng Xiu stared at "Bai Xiaosheng" with wide eyes, a little disbelieving: "Are you really Bai Xiaosheng?"
Under everyone's nervous gazes, Zheng Xiu stepped forward and opened the last picture of the four seasons.
Zheng Xiu replied calmly: "You look good."
Finally, he slapped his thigh sharply.
Everyone put down the painting and asked different people to look at it. They were all amazed and agreed with Zheng Xiu's idea.
Xieluohe is more like a hunter who has made good preparations for hunting, calm and calm.
Cheng Xiao: "Give me the knife."
"Each painting actually has a mountain that looks like three fingers. Except for "Willow Swallows in Spring Pond", it seems to be just a coincidence of the other three paintings. But if you think about it, if these four paintings are from
The same mountain can be seen from four different directions in Duke Nie’s treasure house.”
Zheng Xiu, who had been staring at the scroll back and forth, suddenly showed a look of uncertainty.
"you!"
It was indeed Duguxiang's original intention to bring the four pictures together, but he was unexpected to attract Xie Luohe.
Without saying a word, Dugu Xiang pressed the machine hidden on the ground, and a stone brick moved away with a bang, revealing a secret passage under the floor.
Zheng Xiu waved to Xiao Tao, and Xiao Tao followed.
"Hypocritical." Zheng Xiudao.
Dugu Xiang's eyelids jumped as he looked at the two unopened volumes of pictures in Xie Luohe's hands.
"Don't talk about what you have and what you don't have." Bai Xiaosheng breathed quickly and said hurriedly: "Look, where is Gong Nie's treasure house?"
Zhang Da'er looks like a rough guy, but in fact, as the legend goes, Bai Xiaosheng is not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but at least dabbles in them. At first glance, he only felt that the "Plum Blossoms Awakening Snow" is not as authentic as a fake.
The painting was exquisite, but after looking at it twice, he could vaguely see the mystery of Gongsun Hua Sheng's paintings.
Everything she said while holding the arrow was right.
In front of Dugu Xiang, Zhang Daer's eyes were empty, his fat body was trembling, and he smiled and said:
"I'm not talented, but I know a lot of information. I'm known as Jianghu Baixiaosheng."
At this time, Dugu Xiang's clenched fists were trembling slightly.
Dugu Xiang did not dare to treat Xie Luohe's words as child's play. He was stunned when he heard the words, and stared at Zhang Dayer with solemn eyes.
Zheng Xiu pointed to one of the four pictures.
There are many tunnels underneath the Hidden Sword Villa.
"Damn it! It's Bashan! In ancient times it was called 'Bashan', which means 'pluck out two of five fingers'. The pond at the junction of Yanzhou and Pingzhou has dried up many years ago! If Brother Gongsun said
That’s right, Duke Nie’s treasure house is hidden in Bashan Mountain!”
"Secret." Bai Xiaosheng squinted his eyes and laughed.
This sounds ridiculous, but it is not difficult for Gongsun Painting Sage.
After saying that, Dugu Xiang stood aside and motioned for Xie Luohe and Cheng Xiao to come in, making an "invitation" gesture.
There was a rapid sound of gongs outside.
But Dugu Xiang stretched out his hand to stop him.
"It seems that I will have to add another sentence to the page of the weapon catalog, Dugu Daxia: People should not be judged by their appearance." Bai Xiaosheng, the fat-headed and big-eared version, licked his dry lips, spread his hands, laughed, and said ambiguously
After saying something that made Dugu Xiang feel uncomfortable, he said: "I am not interested in Gong Nie's treasure house."
The sky is white with snow, and the scenery behind the plum blossoms, with mountains clustered together and overlapping near and far, is outlined with simple light ink, looming. Only that plum blossom is painted so finely that even the texture on the petals is clearly visible.
Unexpectedly, Xie Luohe looked at Zheng Xiu and asked with a smile: "What do you want?"
clang clang clang clang!
Zhang Da'er cursed in his heart when he heard that Xie Luo Hedao had revealed his "identity", but he had no choice but to show his cards: "In this case, it would be rude for me to keep hiding it."
The idea has actually been in place for a long time.
Xie Luohe: "No problem, just say it."
Could it be that there is actually one truth and one falsehood in it?
Dugu Xiang knew that this was the "alarm" of Hidden Sword Villa. His heart skipped a beat and he took a few steps out of the secret room.
The Nine-Oracle Exquisite Lock is equivalent to the ancient password lock, and it is composed of nine passwords, arranged in thousands. If you don't know the password and force it to open it, you will fail.
"I, Xie Luohe, represent Yunhe Village, hold half of the scroll, and have an exclusive share. The Four Seasons Picture Book is a relic of Gongsun Painting Saint. As a descendant of the Gongsun family, and as the only person who can see through the Four Seasons Picture, I have a share. The rest.
Three servings, as you wish."
I saw that the picture in the light yellow scroll was extremely "clean".
At first glance, the lock looked like it was not a regular lock that could be opened with a key.
He led Bai Xiaosheng around the table: "Look at the painting and listen to me."
"Then in this direction of the mountain, there is a willow forest and a pond, and there is a maple forest on this side. The direction of the mountain is this way, and the direction of the scorching sun on the midsummer map is enough to roughly locate the direction of the mountain, and the Aoxue map
It uses a group of mountains to locate the distant position of the mountain..."
When Zheng Xiu heard this, he suddenly understood. It turned out that the reason why Xie Luohe changed his plan temporarily was because he learned about this and knew that if he robbed him head-on, Dugu Xiang would rather die together than take advantage of others.
The corners of Zheng Xiu's mouth twitched: "I had a fan like this before."
"It just so happens that the mountain in the picture of Chuntang Liuyan is on the side of the 'peak that looks like three fingers sticking up', so it looks like there is only one mountain."
In the quiet secret room, there were only a few people breathing calmly or rapidly, and Zheng Xiu, who was attentive in front of the round table, concentrating on deciphering the four seasons map.
This is a case of avoiding the important and focusing on the important points.
"Xie Luohe lured other people away, took away the painting and even returned it voluntarily. He is barely qualified."
The oil lamp is lit.
"The owner of the village is in trouble!"
"They're back?"
Hearing this, Zheng Xiu suddenly realized.
Finally, the four seasons pictures are collected.
At this moment, compared with other people's thoughts, Zheng Xiu was more interested in the Four Seasons Picture itself than in Duke Nie's treasure house.
But these are the only clues available at the moment.
…
Little did they know that Xie Luohe laughed heartily from below: "You don't need to tell me, I will tell you right now, he is actually not Xiao Buping, he is Gongsun Mo... Gongsun Mo of the Gongsun family."
The moment Zheng Xiu saw "Plum Blossoms Awakening the Snow", he was sure that the painting in front of him was authentic.
Dugu Xiang, Cheng Xiao, and Bai Xiaosheng looked at each other.
"Okay, Fat Jiang." Zheng Xiu agreed and waved: "Pang Jiang, please help me take a look. Is there a mountain that looks like three fingers from a distance?"
After Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Xiao expressed their opinions respectively, Dugu Xiang looked at Xie Luohe, waiting for an explanation.
Duguxiang regretfully made a "please get out" gesture.
"Walk."
Bai Xiaosheng, who knows the geography of mountains and rivers well and has traveled all over the north and south, closed his eyes and thought about it for a full stick of incense.
Duguxiang silently stepped forward to flip the Nine Orifices Exquisite Lock. There was a snap sound. When the Nine Orifices returned to their positions, the exquisite lock made a soft "click" sound and the lock core popped out.
Swish.
On the side, Xiao Tao tilted her head and said in confusion: "Xiao Tao once heard the legend in the world. It is said that Bai Xiaosheng is handsome and suave, but has an eccentric personality; he is knowledgeable and talented, but he is proud of his talent; he is born with a pair of discerning eyes and has a photographic memory. He has read
He has hundreds of secret books, has extensive knowledge of ancient and modern military techniques, can distinguish the world's martial arts, understands mountains and rivers geography, knows the ancient and modern overseas, and used his own knowledge to compile the "Weapon Manual", detailing the moves, strengths, and weaknesses of each person in the weapon spectrum.
Because of his unique character, he is sought after by many people in the martial arts world, and is naturally resented by many people."
"Cheng Xiao owns the 'Willow Swallows in Spring Pond' painting, so he is qualified."
"It goes without saying that Xiao Buping can see through the authenticity of calligraphy at a glance."
He suppressed his excitement, looked at Zheng Xiu with a calm face.
"Wonderful!"
Following Zheng Xiu's train of thought, Bai Xiaosheng became more and more frightened as he walked around the round table. As Zheng Xiu said, these four pictures actually depict the same place from different angles. If these four pictures form a
A simple "three-dimensional holographic map", then the common point on all the maps is the "mountain that looks like three fingers sticking up".
Bai Xiaosheng interrupted Zheng Xiu: "Please call me Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng."
Spring, summer, autumn, winter.
At first glance, he was attracted by a plum blossom tree bent by heavy snow in the vast white scenery. The plum blossom tree was almost withered and buried under the thick snow. Only the last red flower on the branch could be seen.
Plum blossoms have become the finishing touch.
Dugu Xiang looked stunned.
"How about," Xie Luohe leaned forward, lay next to Zheng Xiu's ear, exhaled like orchid, and laughed in a voice that only two people could hear: "How about finding Mr. Nie's treasure house and I return it to you."
There is only one round table in the small space.
But Zheng Xiu still felt that it was a bit unreliable, and his intuition told him that it seemed too simple.
"Huh?"
Heart itching.
Bai Xiaosheng was immediately speechless.
Time passed quietly and no one spoke anymore.
There are eight small characters written on the fan - "Be a good person and you will know the world's affairs."
Zheng Xiu stared at the four pictures intently.
This is what Zheng Xiu could imagine.
When Dugu Xiang and Bai Xiaosheng walked down, Zheng Xiu, Cheng Xiao, Xie Luohe, and Xiao Tao were waiting beside the box.
Xiao Tao knew that she couldn't help, so she wiped the slight sweat from Zheng Xiu's forehead from time to time.
"How about I, Lao Zhang, exchange a secret with you."
The classic "one peach kills three men".
Zheng Xiu has no objection.
With Xie Luohe around, Zheng Xiu didn't worry about an ambush below at all, and he was caught in the wind while walking.
"The real picture of plum blossoms and snow is hidden below. The real picture appreciation party is below."
Zheng Xiu was shocked. When he wanted to ask more, Xie Luohe's lips had left Zheng Xiu's ears and slapped Dugu Xiang: "Five parts. Divide Mr. Nie's treasure house into five parts."
Cheng Xiao was silent and pressed "The Picture of Willow Swallows in Spring Pond" on the table.
He seemed to have no need for the so-called treasury of Duke Nie.
After the discussion was concluded, Dugu Xiang placed the "Picture of Plum Blossoms Proud of Snow" on the table.
Dugu Xiang: "Yes."
Zheng Xiu didn't blink, didn't even look back at Xie Luohe, and murmured: "I'm not sure."
"No." Bai Xiaosheng knew that Zheng Xiu had misunderstood, and glared angrily, explaining: "What I said is that I am only interested in the 'secret' itself! The location of Gong Nie's treasure house is very important to today's world.
It’s the biggest ‘secret’! To know what the world doesn’t know and to know what the world doesn’t know, to me, this is already a ‘millions of wealth’ that far exceeds ordinary gold, silver and jewelry!”
Duguxiang frowned and asked, "Why."
Dugu Xiang frowned.
Just as they were preparing to leave the secret room and travel day and night to Duke Nie's treasure house.
"Before appreciating the painting, Dugu made some ugly remarks." Dugu Xiang said: "It would hurt the harmony. To ensure fairness, I propose that no matter what is in Gong Nie's treasure house, everything in Gong Nie's treasure house should be divided into four equal parts.
, divided equally by the four parties.”
Xie Luohe, Zheng Xiu, Xiao Tao, Cheng Xiao, filed in.
Xie Luohe smiled at Zheng Xiu and said, "Look at me, you don't ask me why I turned back."
Will Xie Luohe use fake pictures to deceive him like he did before?
When the time came, Zhang Daer lowered his head and wanted to follow.
Zhang Da whispered very quickly, smiled, and after saying a few words, pointed at Zheng Xiu's back below, "Old Zhang, let me tell you, who is he. This is a huge secret that no one in the world knows, and it has nothing to do with the four seasons.
The pictures are closely related.”
He opened his big ears and touched his arms, shaking out a cute little white paper fan.
Zheng Xiu shook his head.
Several of the tunnels were opened, hollowed out and ventilated, just below the hall where they admired the paintings.
Xie Luohe stretched out his hand towards Zheng Xiu and hooked two white fingers. Zheng Xiu understood instantly and took out the last two scrolls from his arms and handed them to Xie Luohe in front of Dugu Xiang.
Bai Xiaosheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed angrily: "Young son of the Gongsun family, are you kidding me? There are thousands of mountains that look like three fingers in the world, but the most famous one in history is
It's at least two slaps in the face. Shouldn't you tell me that you saw this from the painting?"
"I had already guessed that you were not Xiao Buping, but I never expected that you are a descendant of the Gongsun family. No wonder you can tell the authenticity of the calligraphy treasure at a glance. Do you really know where Gong Nie's treasure house is?"
"Nine orifices exquisite lock." Seeing Zheng Xiu looking at the lock, Xie Luohe happily explained: "Nine orifices exquisite lock uses the arrangement of nine different weapons as a 'lock'. The box has white phosphorus powder inside. Once the nine orifices pattern is wrongly placed,
, it will fire the built-in flint, ignite the white phosphorus, and destroy the contents in the box."
The secret room is not a secret in the inner gate of Hidden Sword Villa. When Dugu Xiang walked out of the entrance of the secret passage, an older disciple hurried forward and whispered in Dugu Xiang's ear in a low voice.
"What did they say?"
Zheng Xiu couldn't hear it and asked Xie Luohe directly.
Xie Luohe's eyes turned cold and he smiled: "The imperial court."
