Seeing what Ximen Lang said, Mang Shanhan sternly scolded the man, "Are you looking for death? I'm warning you, be honest, or I'll cut your neck..."
The man was so frightened that he turned pale and said hurriedly: "There is really no more money and everything else is here. I really didn't lie. I really can't think of anything else... This little brother, please remind me, look.
What else did I steal?”
Ximen Lang frowned and said, "There are also a few wooden boards, black..."
"Ah...I remember..." The man suddenly realized, "There are a few small wooden blocks..."
Ximenlang hurriedly asked: "Where did you put those wooden blocks?"
"Those pieces of wood were useless and couldn't be sold for money. I threw them into the brazier and burned them..."
"Ah..." Ximen Lang was shocked. He suddenly rushed over, squatted down in front of the brazier, and opened his eyes to check. He saw that there was no open flame in the brazier, only full of ashes, emitting a weak red light.
.Obviously, if the token was really thrown here, it would have been burned long ago.
It's over, don't try to find the treasure now!
Ximen Lang sighed secretly, with a look of helplessness on his face. He knew in his heart that the thief had no idea what the secrets were in the tokens, and it was absolutely possible that he might have burned those priceless treasures as ordinary wood.
Rose was also surprised. She never expected that her eldest brother had collected nine tokens and wanted to hunt for treasure, but the thief ruined his good fortune. Now that the matter had come to this, she regretted that she had nowhere to buy the medicine. She came over and comforted her in a low voice, "Brother
, don’t be disappointed, it seems that you have no connection with those things, please be more open-minded.”
Seeing the two benefactors like this, Mang Shanhan guessed that the stupid thief must have burned some precious items. He said angrily: "You bastard, I will kill you for the good thing you did..." Then, he
The Tibetan sword is raised high.
The man was so frightened that he fell to his knees and shouted in fear, "Lord Buddha, have mercy on me... have mercy on me..."
At this time, Ximen Lang said: "Forget it, don't kill him..."
The hidden knife was hanging in the air, and Mang Shanhan asked in confusion: "Chief Sect Master, are you really not going to kill him? This guy destroyed your treasure."
Ximen Lang said helplessly: "He did not do it intentionally. Although he stole my things, his crime is not worthy of death. Don't make it difficult for him."
"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Mang Shanhan lowered the hidden knife in his hand.
The man said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, brother, for your generosity..."
Damn it, I wish I could break your anus with an iron rod, you bastard, you are such a stupid thief, you destroyed the token that I worked so hard to find on fire, I am so angry.
Ximen Lang cursed in his heart, and then, unwilling to give up, he flicked his wrist, and the willow leaf flying knife appeared. He inserted the knife into the brazier and stirred it back and forth to see if he could find some unburned pieces.
Suddenly, a flash of gold flashed out of the brazier, making his eyes light up. He hurriedly picked it out with a knife. In an instant, a three-millimetre-thick gold sheet appeared and fell to the ground.
The shape of this gold piece is exactly the same as the token, but slightly smaller, and there are patterns engraved on it, which are clearly visible, as if there is another mystery behind it.
Ximen Lang was ecstatic and his mind was spinning rapidly. Could this be the secret hidden in the token? Since the token has nine pieces, then, this gold piece...
Thinking of this, he inserted the willow leaf flying knife into the brazier again, kept moving, and picked it up when it hit a hard object. Then, a scene that stunned everyone appeared, and saw pieces of shining gold flying out of the brazier.
fell to the ground.
Seeing this scene, Mang Shanhan, the lama, and the thief secretly guessed that no wonder he was so anxious when he heard that several small pieces of wood had been burned. It turned out that there was gold inside those pieces of wood.
Rose and her adopted brother had the same mood. She hurriedly bent down, looked at the nine pieces of gold, and said excitedly: "It turns out there is something else going on."
Ximen Lang winked at her and signaled the younger sister not to tell the truth. He turned around and pretended to say to the man: "I hid the gold in those wooden blocks. I didn't expect that it would be stolen by you, a thief."
Throw it into the furnace, but fortunately real gold is not afraid of fire..."
The man hurriedly said: "It's me who deserves to die...I stole your property out of necessity."
Just now, Ximen Lang took a quick glance and discovered that what was engraved on the gold pieces seemed to be a map. The patterns on each piece were different. If it was not beyond his expectation, this was a map indicating the location of the treasure. He
He thought to himself: "Not only did you not deserve to die, but you also made great contributions. If you, a thief, hadn't appeared and accidentally thrown the token into the brazier and burned it, how would I have known that there was something inside the token?
There are gold pieces hidden inside.”
After touching it with his hand, Ximen Lang found that the temperature on the gold pieces was no longer very high. Now it was just warm. He collected the pieces one by one and carefully put them in his pocket. He stood up and walked over in a happy mood, taking the pieces on the ground.
He grabbed a few wads of banknotes and said to the four lamas: "Thanks to the great help of the masters, I was able to find the thief so quickly and get my things back. It's just a small thing, 10,000 yuan each, please accept it."
The Mangshan men and others were all surprised. This young man was so open-minded that he actually gave each of the four of them 10,000 yuan, which was beyond their expectations.
"Oh, the chief sect master is too thoughtful."
"This is what we should do, why are we embarrassed to ask for your money..."
Although the four lamas looked at the brand-new banknotes with envy, they declined without exception. After all, the other party was their great benefactor of Tianzhao Temple. If it hadn't been for him, I'm afraid their fate would have been unknown. Therefore, I was really embarrassed to give him the money.
Take the money.
However, Ximen Lang thrust the money into their hands forcefully and tyrannically, and said without mercy: "If you don't accept this money, you are looking down on me."
As a result, those lamas had no choice but to accept the money, and they were all overjoyed and thanked them profusely. After all, they seemed to be wealthy lamas, but in fact they were very poor. Each of them only had one hundred yuan per month.
The allowance, now this ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money to them. Money is a good thing, everyone likes it, and so do they.
Ximenlang glanced at Snow Lion and said with a smile: "Snow Lion, you are a great hero tonight. Without you, we would not have caught the thief so quickly. Therefore, I will also reward you with 10,000 yuan and give it to He Saha.
Let me keep it to buy you some meat." He kept it true to his word, and thrust a wad of banknotes into He Saha, forcing the other party to accept them.
The snow lion seemed to understand what he said, and barked. His eyes were bright, his tail was wagging, and he looked pleased with himself. It seems that money is not only liked by people, but also by dogs!
