Chapter 62 A Family of Five + A Treasure Hunt for the Light Bulb
"What is it?"
Prince Hu stroked his beard and kept everyone in suspense, "Guess what."
Everyone: “…”
Chen Xun said rudely: "Deduct pocket money as a warning!"
Prince Hu quickly changed his words: "No need to guess, I'll tell you."
He now lives on the pocket money given by Shen Xun. All the money he earns from treating patients is taken away by Aunt Bai!
Even everyone in Youzhou knew that any silver to be given to King Hu should be given to Aunt Bai.
"This should be a treasure left by the previous dynasty."
As the oldest elder present, King Hu knew many things that others did not know, including the past events of the previous dynasty.
The rise and fall of dynasties is inevitable. Before the previous dynasty fell, the royal family left behind a huge treasure and buried it in a place, leaving it for future generations to find the treasure and make a comeback.
"In order to confuse those who wanted to steal the treasure, the previous dynasty released many fake treasure maps. You didn't catch up with that time. When I was a child, treasure maps were everywhere."
King Hu sighed, "You can buy one for five coins. I bought many different treasure maps back then."
I don’t know why the real treasure map ended up in the palace, but Shen Xun knows that this treasure will never see its true owner.
"There's no time to lose," Shen Xun made a quick decision, "Let's pack up and find the treasure quickly."
Qi Yunxi raised his hand: "Um, mother, I have something to say."
She fiddled with the wooden box for a while, and the middle of the box opened, revealing a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing at the bottom.
Shen Xun was surprised. This box has a layer?
Qi Yunxi took out the paper and said, "This is the real treasure map. The one Jiang Xinming saw... was drawn by me."
When Qi Yunxi opened the wooden box, the treasure map he saw was this piece of thin paper, and the one Jiang Xinming got was the one Qi Yunxi imitated.
"At the time, I thought that since there was a treasure map, there must be treasure. To keep the treasure map safe, I made a fake one."
The fake treasure map looks very similar to the real one, except for the most critical path, which is completely different from the real treasure map.
Qi Yunxi smiled sheepishly, "I just thought it was fun at the time, but I didn't expect it to be so useful."
Shen Yunzheng gave a thumbs up, "Sister, you are the one who is wise but appears foolish!"
Qi Yunxi was furious, "Who are you calling 'stupid'?!"
Jiang Xinming was busy in vain. He went around in circles but the treasure map didn't move at all.
After comparing the two pictures, Shen Xun suddenly realized, "Alan, I was wondering why we walked for a long time last time but still couldn't reach the end. It turns out we were walking the wrong way!"
They should have entered from a hole opposite the cave. When the people of the previous dynasty hid the treasure, they must have considered that someone would look for the treasure, so they dug many wrong entrances to confuse treasure hunters.
This time with the real treasure map, they successfully found the correct entrance. There were some small traps along the way, but they were easily cracked.
Seeing how smoothly things went, Xie Lan couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "Do the people who hid the treasure have such confidence in their descendants? They didn't even create some kind of mechanism that only those of the previous dynasty could unlock?"
"Where is such a mechanism?"
Shen Xun pulled him forward, "If there is, wouldn't we have worked in vain?"
Prince Hu and others agreed with this and warned Xie Lan not to be such a pessimist.
They continued walking forward and stopped in front of a stone gate.
Shen Yunzheng went over and pushed the stone door, "Mom, I can't push it."
Shen Xun also tried it. She used half of her strength, but the stone door didn't move at all.
She slowly pushed upwards, but it was no use.
Qi Yunzhou walked to the door, observed it carefully, pointed at a certain spot on the door and said, "Dad, you really have a bad mouth!"
Xie Lan was unhappy, "Stinky boy, what are you talking about your father?"
Qi Yunzhou curled his lips. His memory hadn't recovered yet. He just called him "Dad" out of politeness, but this guy pretended to be so?
The father and son glared at each other. Chen Xun slapped them aside with two slaps and studied the words engraved on the door.
The general meaning of the engraving is: This door was left by the last emperor of the previous dynasty, and only people with his blood can open this door.
Prince Hu was surprised. "Yunzhou is right. Sister-in-law, what should we do next?"
Shen Xun frowned and pointed at the groove on the stone door. The inscription said that blood needed to be dripped on the groove. If it was the blood of the previous dynasty, the door would open.
If not, a hidden weapon will be shot.
"I have an idea," Shen Xun said softly, "but I'm not sure if it will work."
Xie Lan asked, "Axun, what's your idea? Tell me, and I'll give it a try."
Shen Xun handed him a dagger and said, "Try getting some of your blood."
Xie Lan was confused, "I, I am the bloodline of the previous dynasty?"
Prince Hu was shocked. "Sister-in-law, this is impossible? How could he be..."
Shen Xun was speechless: "That's not what I meant."
She explained blood types to them, but Xie Lan and the others were confused, so they simply stopped listening and listened to Shen Xun directly.
Shen Xun asked the others to retreat to a safe area, and told Xie Lan to be careful of hidden weapons, and asked him to drip a drop of blood on the groove.
"Swish--"
The stone gate did not move, and several cold arrows shot out from it. Xie Lan had been paying attention to the movements around him and quickly dodged them.
Shen Xun shook his head, "Next."
Next, Shen Xun asked King Hu to come up, but King Hu decisively refused.
"Sister-in-law, you really overestimated me. I couldn't dodge the cold arrow just now!"
"I know you can't hide," Shen Xun pushed Xie Lan in front of him, "Alan will protect you."
Xie Lan curled the corners of his lips, "Don't worry, big brother, I will protect you."
Prince Hu: “…”
Suddenly I feel uneasy.
Although Xie Lan didn't know what hatred or grudge he had with King Hu in his "previous life", the three children often told him about the past in order to help him recover his memory.
This resulted in Xie Lan not yet recovering his memory, but clearly understanding the grievances and hatreds between him and King Hu.
King Hu swallowed his saliva and warned, "Brother, you must protect me well. If I get hurt, there will be no one to research the antidote for my sister-in-law."
Xie Lan instantly became serious and focused, "Brother, don't worry!"
You should have said it earlier. No grudges are as important as Axun’s affairs.
King Hu nervously dripped a drop of blood, okay, it still didn't work.
The moment the dart was shot out, Xie Lan pulled him back quickly, and both of them were unharmed.
"It seems that my eldest brother can't do it either," Shen Xun frowned, "Then I will try."
She stepped forward, and Xie Lan was about to protect her, but was stopped by King Hu, "My sister-in-law's skills are much better than yours. Who knows who will protect whom."
Xie Lan punched him expressionlessly.
What nonsense are you talking about!
King Hu grimaced in pain, but didn't dare to fight back.
His brother is a real tiger, maybe he will have to punch him. Humph, he will go and complain to his sister-in-law later!
The two hurt each other, and the three children were laughing wildly behind them.
"Boom--"
Several people were attracted by the loud noise. They looked up and saw the door opened.
