Chapter 996: The location of the treasure vault

Then, Xu Cheng left. The village chief looked at his back from afar. After thinking for a while, he asked,””Do you have any difficulties? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here. ” Xu Cheng looked at the villagers at the foot of the mountain, then looked around and said,””It’s nothing. If you need money, just let me know. ” I’ll help you if I can. The village chief said to him,”whether you want it or not, I still have to give you the Xu family’s things. Your father’s aptitude is slow, and not everyone can learn the lost fist, so he learned other calligraphy. But the Xu family was born as an aristocratic bodyguard agency with a thousand-year-old legacy and has traveled the world. Naturally, they have their own Foundation and martial arts path. This path is the lost fist, which is the Xu family’s most essential martial arts.” “I already know how to do that.” Xu Cheng said. “Follow me.” The village chief said and took the lead to leave with his walking stick. Xu Cheng saw him walking deeper into the village, so he had no choice but to follow. Following the waterfall, Xu Cheng followed the village chief to the so-called ‘Xu Zhong’! It turned out that it was just as the children had said, this entire area was a Cemetery! It looked like an ancient tombstone without a name, and there were some white bones exposed outside. Xu Cheng conservatively estimated that there were at least a few thousand bones here. “What are these?” He curiously asked the White bones under his feet. “They are all the people who have been looking for the Xu Family village in the past. In fact, there is no Xu Family Village at all. There are only treasure troves left by the Xu family. Some of them are wandering around here, looking for treasures, and there are always some who encounter each other and fight. Look at the White bones, most of them are corpses left behind by the five families. There are also people who later searched for treasure troves like lone Warriors.” “Didn’t the five big families take everything from the Xu family? Could there be more?” Xu Cheng asked curiously. “The Xu family has been a bodyguard agency for generations, so how could they put all their resources at home? Of course, there had to be a treasure house. Every generation of the Xu family traveled all over the world and saw countless rare treasures and weapons and antiques. Their treasure house would definitely attract many Rangers or clans to explore it. After all, as a well-known escort company that escorted valuable items with rich armored officials, how could it survive without a powerful force? The Xu family had been very powerful in the past generations, but to what extent? They have their eyes and influence in the pugilistic world. It’s really difficult to Rob the goods. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be a thousand-year-old escort family. ” Xu Cheng chuckled.”I didn’t expect my family to have such a powerful background. It turns out that I’m also a man with a powerful background. Sigh, it seems like my background will be a lot richer and more interesting in the future.” “At that time, if it wasn’t for the fact that the royal family had become poor, they wouldn’t have laid their hands on the escort agency. The five big families actually had the permission of the Imperial court. They used the excuse of colluding with foreign enemies and began to clean up the escort agency in the entire country. They almost uprooted the Xu family and all the forces under the Xu family. After the fall of the Xu family, this place became the target of everyone’s search for the treasures and martial arts books. ” “That’s why this place became the place where Xu Zhong buried these people’s bones,”the village chief said. Xu Cheng frowned.”Then, is the Xu family’s treasure here or not?” “If there isn ‘t, then what am I guarding here for?” the village chief asked with a faint smile. Xu Cheng: “old man, have you ever thought about getting this treasure and living a more comfortable life?” The village chief sighed.”I’m actually a slave, a servant of the Xu family. The old master saw that I had good talent and raised me, taught me how to be a human, and treated me like his own son. What he gave me was what a slave yearned for in his life. He told me that every generation of the Xu family would have a shortage of talents. He was afraid that he would ruin the things left behind by the Xu family’s ancestors and wanted me to take care of them. He bypassed the Xu family’s descendants and entrusted me with this, which showed his absolute trust in me. How could I be a villain?” Xu Cheng sighed in his heart, Feng Jian killed people. There was indeed a huge gap between the feudal class and the People’s hearts. It was like morality and faith were stuck there. Some people were born to think that they were slaves and should have the fate of being slaves. They never had any thoughts of changing or questioning it. It felt like a blasphemy against the gods. “Then, old man, do you know what’s inside?” “I don’t even know how to get in,” the village chief shook his head. “Then how can you be so sure that there’s a treasure vault inside?” Xu Cheng was speechless.”You guys might have been tricked for hundreds of years.” “That’s none of my business. I’m only responsible for handing it over to the descendants of the Xu family. Your father was obsessed with your mother back then and was too ashamed to receive these benefits, so he never came. Now that you’re here, I want to hand it over to you so that I can rest in peace.” As they spoke, the two of them came to the end of the waterfall, a cliff. Below them was the end of the waterfall. The water poured down from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain. The waves roared and roared, shocking everyone who saw it. “According to the old master, this waterfall didn’t flow here in the past. They dug a cave in the middle of the mountain and directed the water here. They used the waterfall to cover the cave on the cliff. That’s where the Xu family’s treasure house is. There’s only one entrance, and it’s difficult for ordinary people to enter because of the strong water power. If they go down along the waterfall, they’ll only drown in the whirlpool. They won’t be able to stay on the cliff and enter through the waterfall.” Xu Cheng looked down at the waterfall that reached into the clouds. Without modern equipment and waterproof facilities, it was really hard to find the specific position of the hole in the waterfall. It was obviously impossible to go up from the bottom, but it was possible to go down from the top with steel wire ropes. No wonder it was so difficult for the predecessors to go in because there was no equipment, and it was very difficult to get into the cave inside the waterfall. Also, the steel wire rope equipment had to be strong. If one was accidentally washed down, there must be a huge Whirlpool at the bottom of such a high waterfall. If one was not good at swimming, they would only drown there. “Do I have to go back and get the equipment?” Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. The village chief leaned on his walking stick and prepared to leave.”What’s inside has nothing to do with me anymore. It’s up to you whether you want it or not. I’ll take my leave first.” Also, if you go out, I hope you won’t tell anyone about this place. We can’t keep up with the pace of the outside world, and we just want to live like this without any competition. ” Xu Cheng couldn’t help but bow to the old man and say,””Thank you,” he said. Before the old man left, he said to him,”I see that you are injured. If you want to stay, you can recuperate here before leaving. This place is very suitable for cultivating your body and mind.” “Alright, how should I address you?” Xu Cheng looked at the village chief and said. “I don’t have a name, but I’ve given myself one. I’m called Xu Wuming,” The village chief smiled and left.
