Chapter 165: The Romantic Song of the Celebrity·Eleven
Kunlun Mountain.
Over the past few hundred years, there have been many changes in both the topography and the routes. Even though Xiao Hao had stayed at Guangmingding of Kunlun Mountain for such a long time, it was difficult for him to find a familiar road here.
The little emperor followed Shi Zhixuan back to the palace, and Xiao Hao was naturally relieved. The rest of his thoughts fell on how to deal with Mu Dao Ren, the fake teammate.
The little emperor was very smart and knew how to take advantage of the loopholes. He also trusted Xiao Hao enough.
Mu Dao Ren was one of the six great masters in the world. Even if he was in front of people of the same level, he had the strength to fight. Killing him was already a harder task than climbing to the sky. And Mu Dao Ren also firmly believed that no one could threaten him, let alone force him to end his life.
But when it comes to Xiao Hao, the life-saving talisman given by the little emperor is actually as good as nothing.
The apprentice he taught is not an easy one. If Mu Dao Ren wants to eat the treasure behind the Autumn Water and Long Sky Ring, he must have that life.
Xiao Hao stared at the small map given by the system for a long time, and tried to recall the map of the Ming Cult, and overlapped it with the current one. Finally, he cast his eyes on a hidden valley.
If it is true as recorded in history books that Du Keyong became the leader of the Ming Cult, then the secret of the Autumn Water and Long Sky Ring is very likely hidden in Guangmingding.
Seeing that he really knew the way, Lu Xiaofeng felt that Xiao Hao was like a person wrapped in layers of mystery, and he couldn't see through it no matter how hard he looked. He couldn't help but ask, "Sir, did you know where the treasure was from the beginning?" If that was true, Lu Xiaofeng would feel like he had been fooled.
Xiao Hao shook his head calmly and said honestly, "I don't know."
Lu Xiaofeng immediately exposed him, "But you seem to be very familiar with the road here."
Xiao Hao kept walking and explained, "I didn't know at first, but when I got here, I suddenly knew it."
Lu Xiaofeng then laughed. He believed that Xiao Hao was telling the truth, but there were too many secrets to be dug out in this truth, "What did you find?"
Xiao Hao pointed in the direction forward and said, "I don't know what it will be, but my intuition always tells me to go there."
When Mu Dao Ren heard these words, they were different from what Lu Xiaofeng thought. Instead, he was more convinced that Xiao Hao had known the secret of the treasure for a long time and had just been pretending to be stupid.
The three of them went all the way to a sparsely populated valley. The further they went, the more hidden the road became. Even though Lu Xiaofeng believed that Xiao Hao was telling the truth, she couldn't help wondering if this was really his first time here.
It would be impossible to find this place without someone to lead the way.
Lu Xiaofeng racked her brains, but she couldn't see any difference in the surrounding rocks. She couldn't figure out how Xiao Hao found a way to find the way.
The surroundings of this place were high and dangerous, and all she could see was endless white. There was snow that never melted all year round, fog that never dissipated in all four seasons, and clouds and smoke curling up, and even the rocks were gray and white.
In front of them was a large house made of white stones. Each white stone was at least as heavy as 950 high-quality red bricks. The house was magnificent in size and very delicate in structure. With just one glance, Lu Xiaofeng could tell that even if the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, it would not collapse. [Note]
It was the first time that Xiao Hao saw such a building in Kunlun Mountain. He stopped and looked at the white building that blended into the surroundings.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed in admiration and put his elbow on Xiao Hao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, I am really impressed by you. You can find this."
Mu Dao Ren stroked his beard and smiled: "Sir, you are a man of your word. You are really a kind person."
Xiao Hao glanced at Mu Dao Ren coldly and made a "please" gesture, "Master, please go first?"
Mu Dao Ren's face twitched and smiled awkwardly: "I dare not, please go first, sir."
Xiao Hao snorted coldly and walked into the big house.
Lu Xiaofeng followed closely behind. In his opinion, Xiao Hao's martial arts was the weakest among the three of them. Mu Dao Ren did not dare to go in front, but he had to protect the safety of this important official of the court.
Taoist Mu walked leisurely at the end, thinking that it was a wise decision for him to successfully restrain Xiao Hao and lead the way for him.
The exterior of the house was made of rough and unpolished white stone, but the interior was a completely different world.
The interior of the house was extravagant and magnificent beyond imagination, not only very exquisite, but also extremely luxurious. The floor was covered with fine handmade Persian carpets, and the whole house looked even more eye-catching than the imperial palace.
There were densely packed rooms on the two floors of the house, and each room had a number at the door. Xiao Hao observed carefully and found that the largest number was as high as three hundred and sixty.
He quickly estimated the number of rooms on the first floor and judged that there might be another floor of similar rooms underground.
These rooms are filled with all kinds of imaginary treasures, any one of which can make an ordinary person worry-free for a lifetime.
Mu Dao Ren and Lu Xiao Feng looked at these objects and almost thought that this was the treasure they were looking for.
But Xiao Hao kept moving forward. Mu Dao Ren guessed that these seemingly precious things might not be the real secret treasures.
After passing through a narrow door, they arrived at the center of the house. Unlike the magnificent rooms outside, this place is so simple that it seems like a place for practicing Zen.
The walls are pure white, and the sunlight shines in through the small window and falls on the only set of tables and chairs in the room. This wooden table is surprisingly large, and it is piled with files clamped by white cardboard. A man in a white cotton robe with a triangular hood was sitting there, holding a file in his hand.
"I'm sorry to have come to greet you."
His voice sounded a little strange to Xiao Hao, and what was even stranger was the name displayed on the system above this man's head:
Ascetic Monk (???).
Xiao Hao thought about it, maybe because the man in front of him had changed his appearance, so there was a note with three question marks after his name.
But he also thought of people like Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo who had changed their appearance and were hiding, and the system directly gave their names, so it was a bit intriguing that the person in front of him didn't give any hints.
Could it be that he knew this person?
Xiao Hao frowned and stared at his every move, trying to pull out a person with a similar figure and habits from his memory.
He stepped forward, bowed politely and introduced himself: "I am Xiao Hao, and I am here to learn the secret of the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring."
The ascetic monk nodded to him, looked at Lu Xiaofeng and Mu Dao Ren, and pointed out their names directly.
When he did this, Xiao Hao was surprised to find that the file in his hand clearly read "Chu Liuxiang and Shi Guanyin".
Xiao Hao's heart moved slightly, and he quickly scanned all the files on the table. If he remembered correctly, these files should record the secrets of countless heroes and celebrities in the world, and most of them are related to Chu Liuxiang.
The ascetic monk in disguise, the Chu Liuxiang Research Library, and the countless treasures in the 360 rooms...
Xiao Hao suddenly felt that he couldn't figure out this world.
The ascetic monk put down the files and stood up, saying to them: "Did you bring back the ring?"
Xiao Hao and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, and Xiao Hao shook his head and said: "No." The ring was in Shi Zhixuan's hand, not on any of them.
The ascetic monk sat back down, picked up the file and said, "Then you can go."
Mu Dao Ren suddenly felt that he was being fooled, narrowed his eyes and said angrily, "What do you mean?"
The ascetic monk looked at him coldly, ignored him, and said to Xiao Hao, "You can find this place, which shows that you have a connection with this place. But you didn't bring back the ring, so I can't confirm your identity." His voice was low and hoarse, and Xiao Hao was very unfamiliar with him, and couldn't think of who he could be.
He had two names in his mind, but no matter which one it was, there was no definite evidence.
The ascetic monk used the word "bring back", which means that the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was indeed lost from here.
He thought for a moment, then asked carefully, "You have a beautiful face?"
The aura around the ascetic monk suddenly changed, and he looked at him dangerously and vigilantly and said, "Do you know me?"
Xiao Hao denied it decisively, "I shouldn't know you." People he knew when he was a master cannot be counted in Qin's father's address book, and he really shouldn't know them. "But you might as well talk about confirming your identity, maybe I have another way to help you confirm it."
The ascetic monk laughed sinisterly a few times, picked up a roll of paper on the table, and Xiao Hao found that what was written on it was actually something related to him - "Grand Scholar of Wenhua Hall and Ming Zun".
Ming Zun?
The line in Xiao Hao's heart was like drilling into the hole of a needle, and suddenly something was strung together.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng also found the files on the table. His eyes fell on another file buried in the pile of white papers, and he quickly took it in his hand -
"Mu Dao Ren and Shen Sanniang".
Mu Dao Ren's face changed drastically, and he immediately reached out to grab the things in Lu Xiaofeng's hand.
If they didn't realize what these files recorded at this time, their experience in the martial arts world would be wasted.
Lu Xiaofeng secretly sighed that Mu Dao Ren really hid some secrets, but still smiled at Mu Dao Ren kindly: "Mu Dao Ren, why are you in such a hurry? Do you have any romantic affairs that you dare not tell?"
Mu Dao Ren showed a gentle and a little bit sinister smile, "Everyone will be curious about their own secrets in the hands of others."
Lu Xiaofeng's back was sweating a lot, this was a very bad development. Seeing this, Xiao Hao inserted himself between the two of them, motioned them to be quiet, and reached into his arms to start taking something out.
Mu Dao Ren's face froze, as he didn't want to let the file stay in Lu Xiao Feng's hands for another second, but he also didn't want to miss Xiao Hao's next move.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Hao's hands, as he fumbled for a while and took out a...
ball from his arms.
The kitten's paws flicked in the air twice, and its heterochromatic eyes stared at the ascetic innocently, and it opened its mouth and let out a "meow~".
Lu Xiao Feng & Mu Dao Ren: "..." He's not crazy, is he?
The ascetic looked at the ball in shock, then looked at Xiao Hao, his eyes resting on Xiao Hao's flat chest, wondering where he got it from. He was silent for a long while, then said in a hoarse voice: "Very good, this is enough to convince me."
He left his seat and pointed at his feet: "What you are looking for is down there."
Xiao Hao nodded in understanding, holding the Seven-Treasure Shovel in his hand.
The ascetic monk continued: "But whether you can enter this place depends on fate. In all these years, only one person has entered this place--"
Before he finished speaking, the ground in front of him "boomed" loudly, and the ground collapsed from where Xiao Hao's shovel dug, forming a circular entrance.
"...I have been in this place before."
Xiao Hao carried the Seven-Treasure Shovel and listened to the system's prompt innocently--
congratulations to the knight for discovering the treasure cave.
The ascetic monk's face, which was almost dead, suddenly turned a little green.
