The next day, the wind was beautiful and cloudless.

On the second floor of a restaurant in Lin'an City close to the government office, Mu Xiaojiu leaned on the railing and listened to the noise of the people inside with his eyes closed.

"What do you mean to have as many people as you have with a few keys? If that's the case, then simply don't go in any of them, this bullshit treasure, don't do it. Tang Wenliang, one of the five elders of Kongtong, was roaring inside.

It was Ouyang Feng of the White Camel Villa who replied, "Hmph, is it possible that half and half of what you said is a good idea?" Obviously the treasure map is in our hands, and we also have two of the three keys, so how can you get in half of the people? ”

"If you can't discuss it, it's better for the two parties to do a game, the winner takes the treasure, and the loser gets out with his tail between his legs!" Yang Lianting waved his hand, and there was disdain in his eyes.

Mu Xiaojiu smiled silently, these people are simply funny, what to say, but neither side is willing to take a step back, just how many people have entered the treasure land, the two sides have been arguing for half an hour.

Stretching his waist, Mu Xiaojiu swept the wine gourd in his hand, then poured a sip of wine into his mouth, and looked down.

At this moment, Ma Yu stood up and became a peacemaker, "Since both sides are unwilling to compromise, it is better to organize their own manpower and not impose hard rules." ”

"Yes." Before anyone else could speak, Shangguan Jinhong nodded, "But the premise is that both sides can no longer look for friends, and now there are as many people as there are in Lin'an City, just less, not more." Both sides can be witnesses to each other. ”

"No problem." The people on both sides thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with everyone, so the matter was settled.

Righteous people feel that although they have few people but many masters, they will naturally not refuse this thing that seems to be powerful to them. And the demon people have no objection to this, obviously they have their own little abacus.

The matter was settled, and then, naturally, it was the turn to discuss the treasure.

However, with these three things in mind, the two sides discussed them for a whole morning, and they didn't finish discussing them until lunch time had passed. Of course, after the incident, it is impossible for these two parties to sit together and have a meal in harmony. If you really do this, I'm afraid that before the food is served, the two sides will have to fight first. So, after the matter was settled, the two parties left separately.

……

The time was set for that night, and the location was a hill called Qitao Mountain outside Lin'an City. This begging peach mountain is the location of the treasure marked on the treasure map, and this matter has been confirmed by both parties.

Speaking of this begging peach mountain, there is a small story.

Legend has it that back then, the city of Lin'an had not yet been built, it was just a small village, and there were only about 20 households in the village, barely able to make up a hundred people.

At that time, the residents of this village at the foot of Qitao Mountain did not rely on farming for a living, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation all depended on this Qitao Mountain. For this mountain of begging peaches is full of peach trees, and the peaches that bear fruit are big and sweet. When the season comes, the villagers will go to the begging peach mountain to pick peaches and sell them.

At that time, Qitao Mountain was still called Rotten Peach Mountain.

Later, one winter night, overnight, all the peach trees on the rotten peach mountain disappeared, and the villagers thought that the mountain god grandfather was angry and pulled out all the peach trees on the rotten peach mountain. This frightened the villagers, and they organized all the people in the village, even the old and young, women and children to come to the mountain and bow down, begging the mountain god grandfather to take pity on their hard life and reward them with peach trees.

It's a pity, not to mention whether there are mountain gods in this world, even if there are, it is obviously impossible to conjure peach trees for them again. Therefore, the villagers built a mountain temple on the mountain, and they had to come up to pray every New Year's holiday, and over time it became a custom, and this rotten peach mountain slowly became a begging peach mountain.

After all these years, the peach trees on the mountain still did not grow, but the villagers at that time built a big city called Lin'an under this begging peach mountain. And year after year, people hate to see a barren mountain every day, or hope that the living environment of the mountain god can be better, so they start planting big trees on the mountain.

Now standing at the gate of Lin'an City, looking at the past from afar, you can see that the begging peach mountain is already a lush and green, extremely delicate peak.

hired a few hunters in the city to lead the way, and the two mighty men and horses of good and evil followed behind, and went straight to Qitao Mountain. In the team, Huang Rong and Zhou Botong were frolicking, while Mu Xiaojiu and Qiao Feng were watching quietly from the side, and a wry smile flashed on their faces from time to time.

"Big brother, there's something I want to ask you about." Mu Xiaojiu suddenly remembered something and said to Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng let out a "hmm" and patted Mu Xiaojiu's shoulder, "Don't you want me to take care of you, senior sister, and those disciples of Peach Blossom Island?" ”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, and shook his head again, "I do want to ask Brother Qiao to help take care of my senior sister, but forget about those disciples of Peach Blossom Island, this is their experience, since they have chosen to mix this treasure map, they must be prepared for death." ”

"Oh." Qiao Feng showed a mocking look on his face: "Xiao Jiu, did you secretly promise your senior sister?" Don't worry, I understand, big brother. ”

A black line slipped down on Mu Xiaojiu's head, "What a secret promise, big brother, I already have a sweetheart." It's just that Senior Sister is the master's daughter after all, and I am ordered by the master to take care of her, so I can't let her fall into danger. But she likes to be lively by nature, and if I don't bring her here, she won't, and maybe she'll sneak in, so ......"

Qiao Feng looked at Huang Rong with a sly expression, and couldn't help but nodded, "So, you're worried that the old urchin Zhou Botong's out-of-the-box temperament can't protect your senior sister Zhouquan, so you hope I can help?" ”

"That's right." Mu Xiaojiu responded.

"No problem, it's wrapped up in the eldest brother, you tell your senior sister, and when you enter the treasure field later, let her go with my beggar gang to help the disciples of the clean clothes, and I will say hello to the brothers in the gang, naturally it will be fine."

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at Qiao Feng gratefully, "Thank you, big brother." ”

"Hey, what else are you being polite to our brothers." Qiao Feng laughed and patted Mu Xiaojiu's shoulder, and then suddenly asked strangely, "So, what about your sweetheart?" Why didn't you see her? Didn't you come? ”

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and pointed to the team on the other side of the Demon Gate. Qiao Feng immediately understood, his eyes widened suddenly, and then he gave Mu Xiaojiu a thumbs up and patted him on the shoulder.

Mu Xiaojiu understood that Qiao Feng's thumb to the tree meant that he could be with the girl from the Demon Gate, powerful, and courageous; As for patting him on the shoulder, he said: Come on, there is a long way to go, you.

……

As I said before, Qitao Mountain is just a small mountain, and this hill is not far from Lin'an City. When the group set out, the sun had just set and it was a little dark. And when I arrived at the foot of this Qitao Mountain, the sky was still not completely dark.

Seeing that Huang Rong integrated into the team of the beggar gang without hindrance, Mu Xiaojiu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally relieved himself, and walked to the head of the team with Qiao Feng.

"Heroes, this is Qitaoshan. The map you gave us only shows that it goes to Qitao Mountain, but there is no specific location, so where do we go next? ”

Ma Yu smiled gently, stopped a few demons who were about to attack, stepped forward and asked the hunters to wait for a while, and then returned to the head of the team and discussed with everyone, "This treasure map does only draw the treasure in Qitao Mountain, and does not draw a specific direction." So don't be upset, let's see if there is any other information on this treasure map. ”

Although Ma Yu's kung fu is not high, after all, the Quanzhen Sect has a lot of prestige in the rivers and lakes, and the old naughty boy Zhou Botong is behind him, so everyone naturally refutes his face.

"It's just a strange picture, where is there any information on this treasure map?" Yang Lianting was the first to snatch the treasure map, but there was nothing left and right.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the material of this treasure map? For example, it is necessary to burn it with fire and blister it with water to reveal the true deed? Someone took a step forward and suggested.

"The fire is not proper, the material of this treasure map is still unknown, no one knows if it will be burned, we can try the water first." Ouyang Feng shook his head, then untied the water bladder from his waist, opened it and poured some water on the treasure map.

However, the material of the treasure map was inexplicable, and the water rolled down from it, and then touched the treasure map, but it was still dry and not stained.

Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to try it with fire.

I took a fire fold at hand, and after the fire fold was ignited, he slowly moved under the treasure map, walking from top to bottom, but he still found nothing, and it was burned until the bottom of the treasure map, and only two lines of words appeared.

Because it was Yang Lianting who held the treasure map, and the mound was burned with fire, it was Yang Lianting who was the first to speak, "There is, it's a limerick poem!" ”

"Limerick?" Everyone was a little puzzled, and for a while, a bunch of people in the rivers and lakes discussed it.

"I think limerick poetry is very problematic, I heard that some people on the rivers and lakes like to use this kind of poetry, painting and other strange things to hide the truth, maybe the news of the treasure is hidden in this limerick."

Ning Daoqi took a step forward, frowned slightly, and said, "Master Yang, can you please read this limerick poem?" ”

Yang Lianting glanced at Ning Daoqi, but didn't dare to refute anything, and read it obediently:

"On the red mountain, in the black pond, the three small fish are green."

"The tail of the mouse, next to the horns of the ox, there is yellow sorghum three feet under the moon."
