After one night, Qiao Meng thought a lot. It was not a bad thing to join the Bai family. Even if he truly recognized the matter from his heart, he would wake up early the next day to prepare for some rituals.
Anyway, I don’t know what I need to do, so I just go out and walk around. The family dinner last night was so grand, and the ceremony should be even more grand.
But the result was different from what Qiao Meng thought. This ceremony was not very grand. It just called everyone together to make an announcement and then had a meal. That was the end of the matter, but it was more formal.
Some, nothing special.
However, this also made him feel less pressured and less cumbersome. After this time, he officially joined the Bai family's camp, but he did not need to be restricted by the Bai family.
After this trip to the Bai family, Qiao Meng was idle for more than a month. No new challenges emerged. The Jade Pavilion was also being expanded in an orderly manner. Elegant injuries also looked much better, and Lan Hai needed to continue to cultivate.
It takes a minute to move freely.
Qiao Meng was ready to start searching for treasures on the map. Since the mastermind behind the scenes had been found out, the time could be greatly extended. In this way, he did not have to worry about what would happen here. He decided to use two months to search.
It doesn't matter if you see it or not, I don't intend to force it.
Everything was ready, Qiao Meng set out on the road with only elegance and whiteness, but there would be some difficulties on the way, because there are still people who know the secret of this treasure, and they are waiting for him to take the lead in exploring the way so that he can collect it.
Fisherman's profit.
The three of them drove a Jeep cross-country and embarked on this antique tour.
"Hey, Qiao Meng, how did you hook up with this elegant girl?" Baidu, who was driving the car, felt a little bored and teased.
"What hookup? Do you know how to use words? We are sympathetic to each other because of the chess match. What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Meng said speechlessly.
"Am I talking nonsense? Ask someone if that elegant girl is the one you hooked up with?" Baidu continued to tease.
But at this time, Elegance sat back without saying a word and lowered her head, but her face was slightly red, obviously she was a little shy after hearing Baidu's words.
"Okay, drive your car and don't talk so much." Qiao Meng didn't want to say anything more and closed his eyes and lay on his side on the seat.
The three of them were speechless all the way. Finally, after more than ten hours of hard work, they arrived at a large rolling mountain. According to the map, there should be an ancient village called Xiaoshan Village. It is said that there are people who have been guarding it for generations.
The villagers have been here for more than a thousand years and have not had much contact with the outside world.
"Wow, this place is so desolate. Will anyone really live there?" Baidu said in surprise when he looked at the situation here.
"I don't know. It is recorded in the book that there is such a thing. It may be that they have all left by this time or have not been passed down." Elegance expressed her speculation.
"What Elegance said makes sense, I think so too." Qiao Meng nodded and said.
Several people stopped the car and carried their equipment on their backs to search slowly. Finally, they saw signs of a village not far ahead, so they quickly walked up to find a place to stay temporarily. This was not the case for finding treasures.
An easy thing, you have to settle down.
"Yes, there is really a small village here, but it looks very dilapidated. No one has lived here for a long time," Baidu said.
"I must have really left this place a long time ago. After all, it is really difficult to survive in such an environment. Although it is surrounded by mountains, it is no longer as prosperous as it was a thousand years ago." Elegance said.
"Then let's quickly find a suitable place to grieve. The food we brought is still enough. Baidu and I will take turns on duty at night to prevent any wild beasts from sneaking up on us. We will search for it during the day." Qiao Meng said.
The night passed, but they did not realize that they had been secretly targeted. Many forces had sent people to spy on them. As soon as there was news, they would immediately notify the organization and dispatch people from the nearest place to snatch the treasure.
In the early morning, Qiao Meng and the others woke up, took the map and started looking for the legendary tomb according to the instructions above. They came to the entrance of a cave all the way, but found nothing.
"Qiao Meng, why don't we go back? This is already the twentieth day of wandering around in this cave. I haven't found anything. I think the treasure must be a story. Even if it's been there for so many years, it's too late.
They were all dug up by those tomb robbers." Baidu complained helplessly.
"It has only been twenty days and you are no longer good at managing the Bai family. I think you are really far behind your father. No wonder he always likes to preach to you and doesn't give you a good look. This is what you should do."
"Yes." Qiao Meng deliberately mocked Baidu when he heard that Baidu could no longer hold on so quickly.
"Hey, why are you so good at teaching people now? Aren't you also my father's adopted son?" Baidu said very dissatisfied.
"Yes, of course I am, but I'm not as fragile as you. You see that Elegant is a girl and she didn't even say anything. What do you have to complain about? If we didn't find it before, it means we haven't looked carefully. Let's find out again.
You will find something." Qiao Meng said.
In desperation, Baidu had no choice but to continue to persist. After all, Elegance never said a single word of complaint from beginning to end. She was just conscientious and responsible for research and analysis, and sometimes even worked part-time as a cook. A woman can endure this.
In a difficult environment, he shouldn't give up so easily.
"I found it. It turns out it's hidden here. No wonder I haven't found anything after searching for so many days. It's really secret. We all thought it was too complicated." Qiao Meng suddenly shouted loudly.
Hearing his cry, Baidu and Elegance immediately approached him and saw what he found in the corner of the wall, a switch that looked like it could be pressed.
After everyone gathered together, Qiao Meng pressed it, and it worked. The wall in front of him suddenly shook, shaking the entire cave, and even the birds in the Dalian mountains were frightened by the movement.
The door finally opened, and the three of them walked in. However, after they walked a few steps, the door was sealed again, and there was no difference from before.
"What? Why are you so casual? What should we do now? If this is a seal, won't we never be able to get out?" Baidu said very worriedly.
"Probably not. Although the tombs that kings of all ages want to build are sealed, with no way in and no way out, no craftsman will really seal them all when designing, and there will definitely be a way out, not to mention this is a treasure
The library is not a tomb, now we can only keep moving forward." Elegance explained.
The three of them continued to move forward, hoping to find a new way out ahead, otherwise no matter how many treasures they saw, it would be of no use.
While walking along the road to this treasure house, I discovered that it seemed that the entire mountain had been made into a large treasure house. It was even said that the entire mountain forest was actually a secret treasure house. It was so large that it was unimaginable.
They walked to the front hall of the warehouse, which should be where some items were stored. Qiao Meng had already discovered a lot of good things. The entire front hall was decorated like a normal palace hall. It looked like
It's so splendid that even if you just sell the ground here, you can become a billionaire. It's extremely luxurious.
"Oh my gosh, Qiao Meng, we are really getting rich now. I didn't expect that there is such a powerful place, and we actually found it. When the time comes, who will be able to stop us if we are so rich?"
Baidu shouted with great conviction, and kept stroking the ground here, his eyes full of greed.
"Baidu, what's wrong with you? Do the Bai family want to rebel? Are you crazy?" Qiao Meng suddenly felt that Baidu looked very strange. This was not like his usual self.
"I'm not crazy, this is who I am and what I want!" Baidu smiled crazily.
"Haha, this is all mine, you all should die!" Elegance suddenly pulled out a dagger from her waist and wanted to stab Baidu.
“No need to be elegant!”
Qiao Meng felt that they were all crazy, so he immediately went up and knocked Elegance unconscious from behind, then kicked Baidu away, and knocked him unconscious as well. There were a lot of things wrong here, but he didn't know why he was fine.
Somewhat incredible.
"Is it because of my ability to detect treasures? My body is no longer within the scope of human beings, so I won't be affected so easily." Qiao Meng kept thinking in his mind, and only this answer is more accurate.
It makes sense.
ah--
Suddenly, he was attacked from behind and fell to the ground unconscious.
His eyes slowly opened, and he felt some pain in the back of his head. His vision slowly became clearer. When he wanted to move, he found that he was tied to a cross made of wood and could not move at all. The same was true for Elegance and Whiteness.
It was the same situation, but there were actually people from the 20th century around who were dressed in ancient clothes. They looked like the ancient people depicted in ancient books.
"Who are you? Why are you trapping us here?" Qiao Meng asked.
"We also want to ask who you are and why you broke into this place without permission. Do you want to steal the treasure?" One of the middle-aged men who looked like a general's attire asked sternly.
"No, we are treasure appraisal experts. We just came to inspect these treasures. We didn't think about taking them away. We were just curious about what the treasures inside would be like." Qiao Meng explained.
"You still want to lie to us? What's going on with so many people following you?" The man did not immediately believe what Qiao Meng said.
"Ah? Someone is following us. No, we are three of us who are sworn brothers. If there is someone else, they must be here to snatch the treasure. If you believe me, then I will find a way to help you protect this place.
Treasure, how about it? Otherwise you can’t defeat them."
Qiao Meng saw that these people were holding cold weapons used in ancient times and persuaded them.
"How do you know we can't beat you?" These people were very dissatisfied with being underestimated.
"Because your weapons are too backward. Their weapons can kill people hundreds of meters away from you. I can find a way to ask people to check and balance them and ensure the safety of the treasure." Qiao Meng said seriously.
"We have also been out, and we know that there are fire weapons in the outside world, and they are not as exaggerated as you said!" Several people said stubbornly.
"It's not Huo Tong, you really believe me." It turned out that it had been a hundred years since the people here last went out to the outside world, so Qiao Meng had no choice but to try his best to win their trust.
