There is a stone door at the entrance of the cave, covered with moss, which shows that it is very old.
The two studied the stone door for a long time but couldn't find a way to open it.
Jiang Jiuniang was losing patience and started looking for the lost pearls on the ground, leaving Lu Baichuan to continue his research alone.
All the treasures are kept outside, except for this one cave which is locked. There might be even more treasures inside.
Since Lu Baichuan was already here, he figured he had to figure things out thoroughly.
He cleaned the moss off the stone door and then saw a rectangular pattern in the very center.
To see it more clearly, he wiped it carefully again, and the patterns became even clearer. He immediately felt a sense of familiarity and quickly went to call Jiang Jiuniang over to take a look together.
Jiang Jiuniang recognized it instantly; it was the pattern of Pangu Jade!
Good heavens!
Jiang Jiuniang thought to herself, "Wow!"
There were some doubts before that it might not really be that batch of treasure, but now that the patterns on the Pangu jade have been revealed, it can be confirmed in an instant.
The Pangu Jade had been in her hand the whole time. She immediately took it out and placed it on the stone. A golden light flashed before her eyes, and then the stone door shook, showing signs of loosening!
The two exchanged a glance, then looked nervously at the stone gate.
The stone gate slowly opened, and a jade box floated out towards the two of them. Jiang Jiuniang took it, and without her having to lift a finger, the jade box opened by itself. Then, a round jade pendant gleaming with white light floated out, splitting in two in front of the two of them, with each pendant floating to their respective sides.
The two exchanged another glance, somewhat puzzled. Had it already recognized its master?
Jiang Jiuniang didn't rush to take it. Instead, she pinched her thigh, wincing in pain, before realizing that she was in the real world and not dreaming of the cultivation world.
But what I was seeing was so bizarre that no one would believe it if I told them.
Seeing that neither of them took it, the jade pendant, now split in two, emitted an increasingly dazzling white light and trembled incessantly, as if urging them to hurry.
Since they've taken the initiative, it would be impolite not to accept. Jiang Jiuniang reached out and took it. When Lu Baichuan saw his wife take it, he also reached out to take it. But as soon as the jade pendant landed in his palm, it flashed with white light and disappeared.
It didn't really disappear; both of them could feel their bodies become much lighter instantly, and the resistance in the water was not as great. The jade pendant must have entered their bodies.
Jiang Jiuniang blinked. She had chosen them herself with the jade pendant; it had nothing to do with them.
They then went back into the cave to check and make sure there was nothing else there. Jiang Jiuniang put away the Pangu Jade, and after some discussion, the two decided to go ashore first.
You can't speak in the water, you can't express your thoughts, you can only make "mmm" sounds, and the other person has to guess. It's exhausting.
Once ashore, Jiang Jiuniang let out a long sigh of relief and said first, "It turns out that the most important thing is the Pangu Jade. The other three tokens should guide people to this place. Because everyone couldn't gather them all, they couldn't understand anything. But once they arrived at their destination, apart from the gold and gems, only the Pangu Jade could open the stone door and bring out the jade token."
"This jade pendant is something special. Although I don't know what it can do yet, I think we'll definitely get our money's worth!"
Lu Baichuan: ...
He was about to nod in agreement when he was rendered speechless by the next sentence.
They definitely didn't lose money, since they managed to store such a large amount of gold and gems into their spatial storage.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's pretend this treasure was never discovered, and don't even tell the two children."
Jiang Jiuniang thought the same thing, but she didn't expect that someone as upright as Lu Baichuan would say such a thing. She was just worrying about how to win him over.
She feigned composure and asked, "What are your thoughts?"
“The treasure is extraordinary. We discovered it by accident, and it’s hard to explain how we got here. Moreover, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Even if we hand over the treasure truthfully, the emperor will still be suspicious of us, thinking that we must have something to hide, and thus he will start to be wary of us. That would actually be causing us trouble.”
"Only the two of us know about the treasure. In the future, we can use this money to benefit the people and do more good deeds for them. The effect will be the same, and it will not arouse the emperor's suspicion, which will save us a lot of trouble."
"As for the two children, Xiangxiang is still too young to understand, so there's no need to worry. But Gou'er is at an age where his temperament is unpredictable. One moment he's as mature as a little adult, and the next he's as childish as a little kid. He's prone to letting slip things, and it will interfere with his studies, so it's best not to say anything."
Jiang Jiuniang nodded. Putting everything else aside, the emperor's suspicions were exactly what she had in mind.
The dog emperor already had designs on them. If they were to hand over the treasure and gain a great merit, they would be envied by the court officials and suspected by the emperor. Moreover, if the money was given to the emperor for his own use, it would be allocated layer by layer and end up in the pockets of certain people. Very little money would actually be used for the benefit of the people, making it completely meaningless.
It would be better to use the money instead of theirs for the benefit of the people. The people would be grateful to the Lu family, and even if the emperor wanted to take action against them later, he would have to ask the people for their opinion.
She hugged Lu Baichuan tightly and said ambiguously, "As expected, two people can't sleep in the same bed. We think exactly the same thing! Then it's a happy decision!"
Lu Baichuan: ...
No matter what, my wife's happiness is the most important thing; I don't care what she says.
"Yeah, luckily we didn't bring them along, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to keep it a secret. Let's go back first."
Lu Baichuan pulled her back, and although they had made a lot of gains, they didn't take anything with them.
The dog was curious when it saw that they had come back empty-handed. Its father and mother had been gone for a long time, so why hadn't they brought back anything?
"Father, Mother, is it not going well?"
Everything went smoothly! Nothing could have gone more smoothly than today!
Jiang Jiuniang was inwardly screaming. Zun Du really wanted to share with her son that she was now a super rich woman, but for the sake of the healthy development of the minor's mind and body, she forcibly suppressed it.
"No, I was too busy riding the jet ski to retrieve anything."
Dog: ...
So while he was at home taking care of the baby, the two of them went on a date.
Also, what's so special about motorboats?
"I want to play too!"
Whatever it is, let's play first and figure it out later!
Jiang Jiuniang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'm too tired today, I'll take you out to play tomorrow! I'm going to cook, let's have seafood porridge tonight!"
Jiang Jiuniang talked as she walked, not even glancing at the dog, because she was worried that eye contact would reveal the wide smile on her face.
Wealth really can cure all ills. She was a bit emo a few days ago, but now she's a sunny and cheerful little girl, and no one could be happier than her.
