Chapter 193: Intercepting the Treasure



"On the back mountain of Chenjia Village in Chulin County, Jianglin Province, our people will reach the entrance of the cave in the mountain in another hour." Jiucai's voice continued to sound.

"Look, is there really treasure hidden in the cave?" Yun Siying said after thinking for a while.

"Master, I can sense that there are thousands of boxes of gold, silver and treasures in the cave. Should I store them all into the space now?" Jiucai asked excitedly.

"Wait, I'll be there soon." Yun Siying also wanted to go to the scene to see their disappointed expressions, so she returned to her room, entered the space, and appeared again at the top of the mountain behind Chenjia Village. Jiucai was waiting for her there.

"Master, you are here."

"Hmm." Yun Siying hummed lightly, released her mental power, collected all the treasures in the cave, cleared away all the traces of the boxes, and then disappeared from the spot with Jiucai in an instant.

A man and a weapon spirit watched the group of people gradually approaching the cave in the space. The tall and thin man said, "Master Lin, Master Zhao! We have really turned this mountain upside down in the past month! We have been sleeping in the open air and encountered many attacks from wild beasts and poisonous insects!"

"Thanks to the people who helped us find this extremely secret cave entrance. Look, the entrance is surrounded by weeds. If I had sharp eyes, I would have found it. Also, the surrounding environment is so quiet and deep. I suspect this is the entrance to the treasure."

After hearing this, the two walked to the stone wall together, examined it carefully, and felt around on the stone wall one by one. Lin Dongliang paused and said in a hurry: "Zhao Changshan, there is a groove like a jade pendant here. Take out the jade pendant and try to see if it can open the mechanism of this cave."

After hearing the news, Zhao Changshan instantly became excited! His eyes widened, his face flushed, and his heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. Then, 놛 quickly rushed towards the mysterious groove.

When 놛 came to the groove, his breathing was as rapid as a bellows. She stretched out her trembling hands eagerly and tightly grasped the lotus jade pendant hanging around her neck.

Zhao Changshan took a deep breath, carefully took off the jade pendant, and then gently placed it in the groove. At the moment when the jade pendant touched the groove, accompanied by a low roar, the originally closed cave slowly opened, and an old and mysterious breath rushed towards him.

On the cave walls on both sides, several oil lamps flickered with faint yellow light, just like the lonely stars in the night sky. Although the brightness was limited, it was enough for people to take in the entire cave at a glance. However, to everyone's disappointment, the interior of the cave was completely empty, without any object to be seen.

The crowd searched here for several times, not leaving out any corner or inch of land, but they still couldn't find any hidden mechanisms or secret passages. In the end, everyone could only hang their heads helplessly, their faces filled with frustration, and they walked away slowly with heavy steps, full of loss and sorrow.

Far away in the bustling and noisy city of Beijing, there are two respected old men - Old Man Zhao and Old Man Lin. This day, they were busy in the study as usual.

However, the son who was sent out to look for the treasure brought an urgent report that the Chen family's treasure hiding place was empty. The two experienced old men were instantly furious at the news and their faces turned pale and their breathing became rapid. They stared with eyes wide open, listening to the shocking news in disbelief, their anger erupting like a volcano.

At this moment, Yun Siying in the compound of the First Military Region saw all of this. She looked at Old Man Zhao and Old Man Lin, who were so angry that they almost fainted, and she couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of comfort. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

Perhaps because of the good weather, Yun Siying's appetite has become particularly good. She, who could only eat a small bowl of rice originally, actually broke through and had an extra bowl, savoring every bite of the food with relish, as if she wanted to transmit this joy to every corner of her body through the food.

Master Nangong and his friends were delighted to see that she had such a good appetite. They wrote down her favorite dishes and planned to let Aunt Chen cook them in the next few days.

Nangong Ruochen completed the mission smoothly. On the eighth day, he took the team back to the army and reported the results of the mission to the brigade commander.

After returning home and cleaning himself, he cleaned the house, then lay down and took a nap, so as to welcome his daughter-in-law in the best condition and image.

After waking up, he took out a mirror and a razor bought from the supply and marketing cooperative and began to shave off the beard that had grown over the days, but it took a lot of effort. He began to miss the feeling of Ying Er shaving him, and he coveted the razor in her hand even more.

Yun Siying looked at the thousands of boxes of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jade ornaments, precious medicinal materials, etc. that appeared in the space, and her mind was no longer greatly shaken.

After opening the box and letting the chalcedony inside be absorbed by the Nine-Colored Tree, the Nine-Colored Tree grew a little bit, about 20 centimeters tall. She was very happy and went to the field diligently to pick a plate of ripe strawberries and handed them to Yun Siying: "Master, the strawberries in your field are ripe, try them, they are very sweet."

Yun Siying stretched out her fair and slender hand and gently took the bright red strawberry that looked like a ruby. She slightly opened her cherry-red lips and carefully put the tempting strawberry into them. Then she gently closed her lips and began to chew carefully.

After just chewing twice, Yun Siying's eyes suddenly lit up, as bright and moving as the twinkling stars in the night sky. Obviously, the wonderful taste of the strawberry made her feel extremely surprised and happy.

"Hmm..." She let out a satisfied sigh involuntarily, "It's sweet and delicious!" The sound was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley or the ringing of a silver bell, which made people intoxicated after hearing it.

She ate one strawberry after another, and soon finished the whole plate of strawberries. She wiped her hands with a tissue. He said to Jiucai, "Pick up all the ripe strawberries in the field and store them in a fresh-keeping warehouse. Don't let them rot in the field. It would be a pity."

"Got it, Master. I will check on them every day. I will store the ripe grains, vegetables, and fruits in the fields in the fresh-keeping warehouse." Jiucai has been supervising Old Man Zhao all the time during this period. He has seen many scenes outside and knows that food is scarce in this era.
