Chapter 3265 Unexpected
“Otherwise, we’d better go into the mayor’s mansion!”
After Ji Xiaoyan stood outside the mayor’s mansion for a moment, he faced the person behind him The guards of Qingcheng said something and looked at their confused expressions on their faces before continuing to explain: "Others should follow the aborigines to find this so-called There are clues to the treasure. Let’s join in the fun now. We just keep going in circles around the town. We probably won’t find anything. It’s better to calm down and go into the mayor’s mansion where there is no one. I can do that too. Take a good look at what’s in that wooden box!”
Hearing this, the guards in Qingcheng nodded immediately and thought about it. Ji Xiaoyan said seriously: "Lord City Lord, if this is the case, then you can go in and we will guard you outside!"
"No need. Everyone go in, and then the mayor will be killed." Just lock the gate of the mansion!" Ji Xiaoyan said to the Qingcheng guards seriously, "Since there are no aborigines in the mayor's mansion now, So if you stay outside, you will attract the aborigines. What if the aborigines want to come to the mayor's house again? Is it better for us not to let them in? Just go in and occupy the mayor's mansion! When the door is closed, it won't be easy for the aborigines to get in!"
Naturally, the guards in Qingcheng had no objection to Ji Xiaoyan's plan! No matter what she says, they just do it! So everyone only left one or two people waiting near the mayor's mansion, and then they would just send a message to the other guards in Qingcheng!
The others followed Ji Xiaoyan into the mayor's mansion, and then locked the door of the mayor's mansion.
Of course, Ji Xiaoyan is not that stupid. He started to open the box after entering the mayor's mansion. Instead, he immediately asked someone to check the entire mayor's mansion again to confirm that an aborigine and adventure After finding none, I felt relieved and finally chose After choosing the main hall room of the mayor's mansion and sitting down, he put the wooden box on the table, and then started to pry it with a dagger.
After prying for a long time, he finally got the lock of the wooden box. After prying it open, I saw what was in the wooden box.
In Ji Xiaoyan's imagination, what was contained in this wooden box must be the town stone, otherwise how could it be hidden so secretly! But she never expected that when she opened the wooden box, what she could see was a dark flower. This flower does not have any roots or veins, only a few petals that have withered into pitch black to maintain the shape of the flower, lying so quietly in the wooden box.
"Lord City Lord, what is contained in this wooden box is indeed not the town stone!" When a Qingcheng guard saw this situation, he couldn't help frowning, but with a somewhat frustrated expression, he faced Ji Xiaoyan Said: "If it's not the town stone, then we have to keep looking for it!"
But if they continue to look for it, where should they go to find the town stone next?
Everyone couldn’t help but feel a little depressed! They all began to imagine in their minds where the town stone would be hidden? When should they act again!
Ji Xiaoyan was frowning at the moment, looking at the black flowers in the wooden box, and felt a little depressed for a moment. He couldn't understand why such a dark, withered flower was hidden so secretly under that flower pot. And looking at the appearance of this flower, there seems to be nothing special about it!
So, Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but frown, and after thinking about it, he said to the Qingcheng guards beside him: "Let's go back and take a look at the flowerpot."
"Lord City Lord, why are we going back to look at the flower pots? Since this wooden box does not contain the town stone, shouldn't we continue to look for the town stone?"
"Sir City Lord, Do you think there is something else hidden under the flower pot? ”
< br>The guards in Qingcheng couldn't help but look forward to it, but seeing that Ji Xiaoyan had no intention of answering, they didn't dare to ask any more questions and just followed her back to the flower pot. After looking at the big hole they dug before, he couldn't help but look at Ji Xiaoyan again.
“Go down and dig some more!”
Ji Xiaoyan had a serious expression on his face, looking at the pit and the flower pot in front of him, and looking seriously at the guards of the Qing City. He said: "Dig all the way to the bottom. Let's give this flower pot to the aboriginal child and take it back!"
The Qingcheng guards did not hesitate at all. They nodded directly and jumped down into the pit, holding weapons and continuing to dig.
According to everyone's thoughts, the flowerpot itself is a bit strange, so if you can find a wooden box in the stone pillar under the flowerpot, there should be no other things. But who would have thought that after the guards of Qing City dug out another section, they saw that another hollow grid appeared under the stone pillar under the flower pot, and there was still a wooden box hidden inside!
This is a bit amazing.
There are actually two wooden boxes hidden inside a stone pillar. So, does the second wooden box also contain a black withered flower like the one Ji Xiaoyan and the others found before?
The guards in Qingcheng did not show any curiosity or hesitation at all, and handed the wooden box to Ji Xiaoyan again. This time, Ji Xiaoyan had no intention of taking the box and leaving immediately. Instead, he signaled the guards of Qing City to continue digging, and then took a dagger to pry open the lock on the second box.
I thought that this box must contain the same thing as the one in the previous wooden box, or it might be a town stone, but when Ji Xiaoyan opened the box, he saw a bead hidden inside! And this bead was not as bright as Ji Xiaoyan imagined, but still dark, and it seemed to complement the black flower somewhat.
"Lord City Lord, what is this?!" The guards guarding the city beside Ji Xiaoyan saw the black block inside the wooden box and couldn't help but become confused, "Why is this under the flower pot?" The hidden things are all dark! ?" In the eyes of everyone, it is a bit strange that these two things are hidden in such a secret place, and these two things should be very important! But now it seems that these two things have no fluctuation in mana at all. They look like an ordinary dried flower and a black bead!
If it were such a common thing, why did the mayor of this town hide these two things so carefully underground?
Ji Xiaoyan also frowned and put the beads and flowers in front of him and looked at them again and again. He couldn't figure it out for a while, but instead he was looking forward to whether there would be a third stone pillar under the flowerpot. Three boxes? Maybe if there is a third box, after seeing the contents inside, she can think of what the uses of these things are! However, after the guards of Qing City dug all the way to the bottom and dug out all the stone pillars, they did not see the third hollow grid and wooden box at all, so everyone could only look up at Ji Xiaoyan and face it. She asked: "Lord City Lord, are you sure we want to lift up these flowerpots and stone pillars and take them back to Qingcheng?"
Ji Xiaoyan nodded without hesitation. After looking at the dying flower in the flower pot, he looked at the two wooden boxes again and said to the guards of Qing City: "It's nothing. It's difficult, so I took the flowerpot and the stone pillar back and gave them to the aboriginal children. I always felt that there was some connection between the flowerpot and the two wooden boxes, so since If you want to take them back, let’s take them all together Just take it back! Otherwise, it will be troublesome if you miss something and come back again!"
The guards in Qingcheng naturally had no objection and immediately arranged for manpower after hearing Ji Xiaoyan's decision. Come, they quickly lifted the stone pillar and the flower pot to the ground, and then waited expectantly for Ji Xiaoyan to put the flower pot away, so that they could go with others to see other lively events in this town. Then went back.
All the guards in Qingcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they thought of this, waiting to see Ji Xiaoyan put away all the things so that everyone could leave.
But what no one expected was that the two wooden boxes could easily fit into Ji Xiaoyan's parcel, but the flowerpot and stone pillar could not fit into Ji Xiaoyan's parcel at all!
"Lord City Lord, your package can't fit in it? Otherwise, let's try it!"
The guards in Qingcheng watched Ji Xiaoyan try a few times. After the flowerpot and stone pillar were still on the ground, they couldn't help but ask expectantly, wanting to step forward to help.
However, after Ji Xiaoyan frowned and tried many times without success, there was no irritation on his face. Instead, he suddenly raised a bright smile and looked at it with a bit of surprise. To the guards of Qing City.
"Lord City Lord, what's wrong with you?"
"I think we have found the town stone!" Ji Xiaoyan laughed hahaha, facing the Qingcheng guards They said seriously: "I think, in this flowerpot, or in other words, just this flowerpot and stone The pillar may be the town stone!”
“How is this possible? Lord City Lord!” Upon hearing this, the guards in Qingcheng couldn’t help but look at Ji Xiaoyan in surprise. When looking at the flower pots and stone pillars, expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces!
"Lord City Lord, how could this flower pot and stone pillar be the town stone?!"
"If this flower pot and stone pillar are not, then the town stone should also be hidden in this flower pot!" Ji Xiaoyan smiled seriously and said to everyone: "You just saw See! I can't fit this flower pot and stone pillar into the package! This doesn't mean that my package is full and can't fit them, but the flower pot and stone pillar can't fit in at all! , this is probably the only one that can’t fit into my package if it’s the Zhencheng Stone! There is a Town Stone hidden inside, and if the Town Stone is sealed inside with something special, just like this box holds something, maybe I can put this thing directly into my package and take it back to Qingcheng! Now this flower pot can't fit into my package, that proves it One thing! The power of this town stone is not packed away, so I can’t put it directly into my package!”
So, either the flowerpot and the stone pillar are part of the town stone, Or, there is a town stone hidden under the flower mud in this flower pot!
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan immediately looked at the guards of Qing City and said to them seriously: "Now, we need to verify whether the town stone is the flower pot and stone pillar, or is it hidden? It’s in this flower pot! So, don’t be idle, dig out all the flower mud in this flower pot and see if the town stone is hidden in it!”
Ji Xiaoyan actually understood this discovery.
In order to prevent the town's town stone from being discovered casually, the mayor of this town specially thought of some ways to hide the town stone. This is a common method used by many mayors, and it is not surprising. matter. But if the town's town stone is really hidden in a flowerpot, then Ji Xiaoyan would like to praise the town's mayor.
His blinding trick is really good! Even they had never thought before that the town stone was actually hidden in such a conspicuous place in the flower pot!
All the guards in Qingcheng were filled with doubts and surprises at this moment. They were also full of curiosity and rushed towards the flower pot, thinking of digging out the flower mud and taking a closer look. Is this town’s town stone really hidden?
However, so many guards kept digging until they reached the bottom of the flower pot, but no one saw any stones, not even one as big as a thumb. , only the dying flower was placed aside, but its roots were coiled together with countless rhizomes, forming a large root ball.
"It seems that this flower has misled us!" Ji Xiaoyan looked at the dying flower that was placed aside and couldn't help but said to everyone: "What if If it weren't for this flower, we should have cleaned up all the flower mud in this flowerpot!
After hearing this, everyone could only smile. After saying that they really didn't expect it, they couldn't help but cast their eyes on the flowerpot and stone pillar.
"Now it seems that this flower pot and stone pillar must be the town stone!" Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but stepped forward, touched the flower pot with his hand, and then smiled softly Said: "This is definitely right! Fortunately, I thought about taking the flowerpot and stone pillar back before! This can be regarded as an accident!"
The guards of Qingcheng Naturally, I am very happy to find this thing! At least, they found their target, which means that they have gained something from coming to this town!
So at this moment, everyone couldn't help but cheer. After a while, they looked at Ji Xiaoyan and asked: "Your Majesty, the target of this flower pot is so big, we can't put it in the package." If it's inside, then we can only carry it back! If you carry this flowerpot out of the mayor's mansion like this, you will definitely be seen by the aborigines! At that time, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and inquiries. What if there is some dispute? ”
