Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Reappearing the Treasure Map
Liu Haoyi walked into the backyard of Qingfengguan.

He walked into the side room and bowed to the golden-masked man: "Uncle, it must be something urgent to call your nephew today, right?"

The masked man said in a deep voice: "The world is spreading, and the four-axis treasure map has been deciphered."

Liu Haoyi asked in surprise, "The four-axis treasure map has been deciphered?"

"There is a verse in each of the four-axis treasure maps. Someone inquired about the verses on the four-axis treasure maps, and then connected them together. Now it has been spread in the world."

"Since he found out four lines of poetry, why didn't he go find the treasure himself, instead let the lines spread?"

"This uncle doesn't know either. Maybe he can't solve it himself, or it's a conspiracy. Now the world is also crazy about the treasure. If the uncle's guess is right, Jin Yuanhong must have got the news and is preparing to seize the treasure. thing."

"Xu Kingdom's long-term war, the treasury should be running low, and Jin Yuanhong should really want to get this treasure."

The golden-masked man said: "Not only Jin Yuanhong, but all countries in Kyushu, and all sects in the rivers and lakes are all eyeing the treasure. If this is true, this treasure must not fall into the hands of Jin Yuanhong. Go back and prepare, and I will send someone secretly help you."

"Yes, uncle." Liu Haoyi replied and left.

'Ghost Valley will be completely destroyed, but the old man just uses this to make him carefree. '

Looking at the back of Jin Yuanhong leaving, the golden-masked man was full of thoughts.

……

Waking up early in the morning, Tian Shangcheng hurried into Ling's mansion.

Ling Duleng was practicing morning exercises, the servant ran into the backyard and reported to Ling Duleng: "My lord, Lord Tian is waiting for you in the living room."

"Tian Shangcheng came to look for me so early? What's the matter?"

Ling Duleng hurriedly walked to the living room with doubts and pretended not to change.

When Tian Shangcheng saw Ling Du Leng coming up to meet him, he couldn't wait to say: "My lord, I have some good news for you at the end."

Ling Du looked at Tian Shancheng coldly, and asked, "What news can make you so excited that you came here so early in the morning?"

Tian Shangcheng smiled mysteriously and said: "Baoju is hissing, Guizang is miserable, and ghosts outside the wall are urging their lives, who cares about the fish in the well."

Ling Du coldly waved his hands and asked with a smile: "What kind of poem is this? Who wrote it? Can this kind of poem be on stage? Can this kind of poem make you feel so mysterious?"

Tian Shangcheng smiled mysteriously and said, "General, this is a good poem!"

Ling Du sneered and said, "Haha... General Tian has been only focusing on martial arts recently, and left all his knowledge of literature aside, right?"

Tian Shangcheng said: "General, the beauty of this poem does not lie in its words, nor in its rhyme, nor in its artistic conception."

Ling Du coldly shook his head and said, "None of these, so what kind of good poem is that? Can you tell me what's so good about this poem?"

Tian Shangcheng smiled mysteriously and said: "Bao Ju's hoarse, Gui Zang Liu is miserable, and the ghost outside the wall is urging his life, who is pity for the fish in the well. General, please write the first word of the first sentence and the second word of the second sentence." , pick up the third word in the third sentence, pick up the fourth word in the fourth sentence, and read it again."

"The first character of the first sentence is 'bao', the second character of the second sentence is 'zang', the third character of the third sentence is 'ghost', and the fourth character of the fourth sentence is 'gu'. Four A string of words is 'Bao Treasure Ghost Valley', Treasure Ghost Valley, haha... It means that the treasures of Fang Zongzheng in the legend are hidden in Ghost Valley." Ling Duleng suddenly realized and nodded.

Tian Shangcheng smiled and asked: "Well, marshal, do you think it is a good poem?"

Ling Dulen praised, "Good poem, good poem...it really is a good poem, haha...where did you get this poem from?"

Tian Shangcheng asked: "Marshal, do you still remember the four-axis painting that Fang Zongzheng left for the four guards that Wulin was fighting for?"

"For the safety of the treasure, Fang Zongzheng divided the treasure map into four axes, and four guards took them away separately. Only when the four axes map is put together can we understand the mystery of the map and obtain the location of the treasure. Could it be that General Tian has obtained the four axis map ?”

Tian Shangcheng looked at Ling Duleng and said, "Marshal, this four-axis map is numbered. The first axis shows a city, and the word 'Dongjun' is written on the wall."

Ling Duleng said: "East County? The capital of Fang Zongzheng, the former emperor of the Kyushu Empire. Could this be the quatrain of Fang Zongzheng's defeat?"

Tian Shangcheng nodded: "There are war horses swarming outside the city wall, and there is a sentence on the picture, 'The horses are neighing, who cares for the fish in the well'."

Ling Duleng nodded, "From the picture and the poem, 'The horse's voice is hissing, who cares about the fish in the well' doesn't make sense. Even if you fill in the word 'treasure', you still can't understand what it means."

"This should be the scene that records Fang Zongzheng's failure. The second axis shows a turtle sitting on a mountain, and there is a temple on the mountain. On the picture, there is a sentence, 'The six turtles are desolate, and the treasure horse is hissing'."

Ling Dulen seemed to understand something, "This Guiliuqiqi should be Guizang Liuqiqi, which means that the tortoise shrank its four legs, head and tail into its shell. It should mean that Fang Zongzheng was beaten like he shrank his head. The bleakness of a tortoise also means that he is bleak after he has failed."

"A city wall is drawn on the third axis. Under the city wall, there are several ghost-faced men in soldiers' costumes shouting. The picture says, 'Beyond the wall, the tortoise hides six desolate'."

Ling Du laughed coldly and said: "Well, this means that our king's soldiers are about to attack the city, haha... It's just that Fang Zongzheng compared us to ghosts."

"A well is drawn on the fourth axis, and there is a deep depression at the bottom of the well. There is a fish in the valley, and a sentence is written, 'Whoever pities the fish in the well, Baoju hisses.'"

Ling Du sneered and said: "The last axis also means Fang Zongzheng's defeat. Even the bottom of the well can't hold it. It's just like the fish in the valley at the bottom of the well, which makes people feel pitiful, and the horses outside are still screaming." .You can’t see the mystery from each axis painting. How did General Tian get the four-axis painting? How can you see the mystery in it?”

"General, the last general didn't get the four-axis painting."

Ling Dulen was surprised and asked, "Didn't get the four-axis painting? How could you know so clearly?"

"Marshal, have you forgotten who the last general was before he joined the Marshal?"

Ling Du Leng laughed loudly and said, "Haha... How could this general forget the third child of the Three Musketeers of Tianshan?"

"Then the general's second brother, the marshal, also knows."

"Big Sikou Song Bangyu, haha..."

"Although the general has defected to the marshal, he still has contacts with some friends in the martial arts. This is a combination of the information collected by the general through them and the information obtained by my second brother."

"Oh, then why don't you persuade them to take refuge in this commander? This will allow them to serve the country, and also allow them to enjoy glory and wealth."

Tian Shangcheng shook his head and said: "The general has advised them, but most of them are used to being free and easy, and I'm afraid they can't stand the constraints of military regulations."

Ling Du coldly nodded and asked: "Well, everyone has his own aspirations, how did you come up with the idea of ​​solving the mystery of this poem?"

"Mo will feel that the first line of the poem "The horse's voice is hissing, who cares for the fish in the well" in the first axis painting is "the horse's voice is hissing" and the poem on the second axis painting "Gui Liu is desolate, Baoju's voice is hoarse The last line of the verse "Bao Ju Sheng Sisi" is similar, and comparing the two sentences, it is found that "Ju Sheng Sisi" is only missing the first word "bao" compared with "Bao Ju Sheng Sisi".

Ling Du gave a cold compliment, "Well, General Tian observes meticulously and thinks seriously. Good."

"The first sentence of the poem "Gui Liu is desolate, Baoju hissing" in the second axis painting is "Gui Liu is desolate" and the poem in the third axis painting is "calling for life outside the wall, the turtle hides six desolate" The second sentence of "Guizang Liuqiqi" is missing the second word "Zang". Similarly, the first sentence of the poem in the third scroll painting "A reminder to die outside the wall, Guizang Liuqiqi" is "A reminder to die outside the wall". Compared with the poem on the fourth axis, "Who pities the fish in the well, the ghosts outside the wall urge their lives" is missing the third word "ghost".

Ling Duleng nodded and said, "Well, the fourth sentence should be the reverse."

"Yes, the first line of the poem "Who cares for the well fish, the ghost outside the wall reminds me" in the fourth axis painting is "Who cares for the well fish" and the poem in the first axis painting "The horse's hissing, who cares for the well fish" The last sentence of 'who cares for Jingguyu' is missing the fourth word 'gu'."

Ling Dulen laughed loudly and said, "This is a cycle of hidden characters. The combination of the four missing characters on each axis is 'Treasure Ghost Valley', which means that treasures are hidden in Ghost Valley. Haha...Fang Zongzheng It can be said that this four-axis map has been well-intentioned, and General Tian is really smart."

"The last general has to learn from General Ling."

Ling Du Leng showed a troubled expression, "However, this ghost valley is so big, how do you know where the treasure is hidden? You can't dig all the ghost valleys."

"The general thinks this should have something to do with the mountain where the turtle is standing, especially the temple, and the well. Why is there a valley at the bottom of the well, and there is a fish in the valley? Could this fish represent That treasure? If so, then the treasure should be at the bottom of a well."

Ling Duleng thought for a while, and asked, "Is there a mountain called Guituo Mountain in Ghost Valley? Also, is there a temple?"

Tian Shangcheng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid no one will know about this, because Ghost Valley was the base of Lingmen Gate in the past. There are many traps inside, and there are many weird beasts. No one has entered Ghost Valley until now. came out."

Ling Dulen thought for a while and said, "Could this be a trap? If Ghost Valley is so mysterious and terrifying, and anyone who enters will die, then how did Fang Zongzheng transport the treasure in? How did the person who buried the treasure bring out the treasure map? Moreover, according to the general, you are definitely not the only one who knows this poem."

Tian Shangcheng also pondered for a while, and said: "The general is very right. Such a large batch of treasures must be hidden in the safest place. If possible, Ghost Valley is indeed the best place. If Fang Zongzheng really puts The treasure is hidden in Ghost Valley, there is only one possibility."

Ling Du coldly asked: "What is possible?"

"He has the map for entering the ghost valley. I heard that this map can not only avoid the traps in the ghost valley, but also minimize the attacks of wild animals."

Ling Duleng nodded and said: "Well, if the treasure is really in Ghost Valley, if the treasure is taken away by others, it will be a great loss for our Kyushu Empire. Now if the other kingdoms get the news, they will We must devote all our efforts to obtain this treasure, military expenditure, military expenditure is really too important for each of our kingdoms. Regardless of whether this matter is in trouble or not, we have to go for it."

"Marshal, what should we do?"

"Furthermore, if it is true that the treasure map has been deciphered, then the general must report it to the king, no matter how hard he tries, he must seize it. These treasures must not fall into the hands of Liu Haoyi and the others. I will report it to the king first. , suspend the attack on South Vietnam, and seize the treasure first. In order to prevent the sudden attack of South Vietnam, I will not go with you. I will pick some of the best masters in the army for you, and you will take them to Guigu to inquire about the situation. Report to me as soon as there is a situation, and I will take care of you.”

Tian Shangcheng responded with a salute to Ling Duleng and retreated: He knew that he did not do the secret of deciphering the four-axis scroll by himself, and he only heard about it. In order to show credit, he boasted that it was him If he cracked it, he hoped that the information provided to him by his martial arts friends was true, then he would have made a great contribution. The road to treasure is even more difficult and dangerous...
