Chapter 285 The Day of Obtaining the Treasure
Although he couldn't practice the "Yingyue Divine Skill", it was still a seven-level skill, and it was just a small book. It was very convenient to hide it on his body, so Chu Tang didn't worry about its whereabouts.
The most difficult thing is the magic weapon "Liu Ye", a rare seventh-grade magic weapon that can cause a bloody storm in the martial arts world. It is extremely precious and cannot be discarded.
But it is three feet long and cannot be easily carried around, and Chu Tang has not given up on the plan of relying on the magic weapon Yitian, so this seems very difficult to handle.
If you keep it, you won’t have many chances to use it; if you lose it, you’ll be heartbroken.
Fortunately, it was smaller and lighter, and was thin after being sheathed. Chu Tang temporarily tied it to Yitian's sheath handle.
Yitian is like a sword and a sword, and the scabbard created is wider than an ordinary scabbard. After the two parts are tied together, they are surprisingly harmonious.
If you don't pay attention, at first glance, you can only see Yitian, but you really can't notice that Chu Tang is holding two magic weapons in his hands.
As for how to deal with these seventh-grade magic weapons in the future, we have to wait until the immediate matter is resolved before making any plans.
According to the strategy, Chu Tang rarely appeared in front of Zhou Ziyu these days. Instead, he thanked guests behind closed doors and pretended to be deeply immersed in the study of the Seven Realms Kung Fu.
The main theme is the state of a martial arts fanatic.
This situation lasted for three days, until that evening, Zhou Ziyu sent someone to invite him out.
The Beginning of Autumn has passed, and half of the unitary hour has passed. The sky has been filled with sunset, and tired birds returning to their nests flutter from time to time.
Even the evening breeze was a little chilly.
As soon as he left the room, Chu Tang saw Zhou Ziyu.
He was sitting in a corner of the yard.
The place was decorated with a half-new and half-old wooden table with some fruit tea on it.
Against the backdrop of the glow, Zhou Ziyu was drinking tea.
It has to be said that even if he is in trouble, Zhou Ziyu still maintains the demeanor of a handsome young man, without losing the temperament of a king or grandson at all.
Behind him, there were two people standing, one was Miss Lin'er and the other was a slender old man.
The old man Chu Tang already knew him, it was Qin Guang, the Seventh Realm master of the Samsung Sword Sect.
He was wearing gray clothes and holding a simple long sword in his arms. He was about fifty or sixty years old. He was very thin, but he looked very energetic, and his sharp eyes gave off a compelling light.
Judging from the appearance of the three of them, they were waiting for Chu Tang's arrival.
Chu Tang didn't even need to greet them, he just walked over and greeted them one by one.
Zhou Ziyu stretched out his hand and motioned Chu Tang to sit down and talk.
Chu Tang also sat down opposite him. Before he could open his mouth, Miss Lin'er poured him a cup of tea.
Chu Tang thanked him, but of course he didn't dare to drink.
Zhou Ziyu didn't take it seriously, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Chu Tang and said, "Brother Chu is a smart man. He must have guessed the reason why Zhou stayed here, right?"
Chu Tang immediately knew that the other party was going to show off his cards, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
As for the outcome of the showdown, it depends on the attitudes of both parties.
Once the deal is settled, there will be follow-up.
If the talks break down, then we have to fight...
Thinking of this, Chu Tang glanced at Qin Guang, who was standing behind Zhou Ziyu with a sword in his hand, and regretted that he had left all the magic weapons in the room and came here bare-handed.
After humming, Chu Tang nodded and said, "I gained a little bit."
Zhou Ziyu smiled and said, "Tell me about it?"
"The place where King Liang hid his treasure was nearby?" Chu Tang asked uncertainly.
While speaking, his eyes inadvertently glanced back and forth between the three of them, but he couldn't see anything.
Miss Lin'er and Qin Guang were expressionless, standing behind Zhou Ziyu like door gods.
The smile on Zhou Ziyu's face did not diminish, and even became brighter, and he praised and said: "Zhou said that Brother Chu is a smart man!"
Chu Tang frowned and said, "Didn't Mr. Zhou say before that the location of King Liang's treasure can only be determined by combining the bronze mirror with the frame? Before coming to Yufu County, the bronze mirror frame was still in Chu's hands..."
Zhou Ziyu laughed and said: "About this, Zhou did not lie to Brother Chu. Without the bronze mirror and frame, it is really impossible to find out the direction. However, Zhou probably guessed the direction through some clues circulated at home."
"Yufu County?" Chu Tang responded, "Is this place special?"
Zhou Ziyu suddenly sighed and said in a slightly sad tone: "My great-grandfather was defeated in the army and moved eastward from Yuncheng, and finally entered the territory of Mengjun, and was finally buried here."
Chu Tang didn't say anything, knowing that there would be a follow-up.
Zhou Ziyu continued: "Actually, my great-grandfather wanted to continue to the southeast, where we could go to the sea... However, after entering Mengjun, the situation became increasingly critical, because the Jingzhou troops in the north also joined the camp to encircle and suppress the King of Liang.
"With the enemy in front and the pursuers behind, my great-grandfather had no choice but to fight to the death in Meng County... In fact, it was not that my great-grandfather had no chance of survival before. At that time, the barbarians in the south invited him to come to their place to avoid trouble, and even Both sides can join forces and attack Kyushu together.
"My great-grandfather decisively rejected this proposal! He once said that as a man of Dayao, the trouble that caused Xiao Qiang was just a fight between brothers. He who attracted foreigners into the country was a sinner through the ages. Even if he died, he would not disdain it. For it!"
Chu Tang immediately interrupted and said: "The first Liang King was a man!"
There is nothing terrible about ambition, even if you shed blood for it, it is just cruelty.
But once the ideals of family and country are wiped out and the final bottom line is lost, then this person is really worthless.
The King of Liang followed the founding emperor Yao in his military expeditions in the south and north since he was a child, and finally unified the world. Later, he guarded Liangzhou and fought with the two foreign races in the south and west for decades. His mental toughness was indeed far beyond ordinary people.
Until his death, he never betrayed Yao's interests to outsiders. This fact of his is indeed worthy of recognition.
Hearing Chu Tang's praise, Zhou Ziyu sighed again: "After my great-grandfather's troops entered Meng County, the situation became very urgent. According to the records left at home, they had been entangled with the imperial army in Yufu County for several months. Unable to resist, we continued eastward and were eventually wiped out in Sanjiang County, east of Yufu County."
Chu Tang understood: "Prince Liang stayed in Yufu County for the longest time. Did he have enough time to bury the treasure?"
Zhou Ziyu smiled bitterly and said: "People, only when they are at the end of the road, will they consider whether there is a way out. The place where the army was defeated in the end is definitely not suitable for hiding treasures. At that time, people's hearts are separated and there are not enough manpower and material resources to do this."
"So, the probability that the treasure is in Yufu County is the highest!" Chu Tang took a deep look at Zhou Ziyu and said with emotion, "Young Master Zhou is truly worthy of inheriting the mantle of King Liang. Even if there are no other clues about the treasure, he can still find it from He was able to figure out the general direction from the clues and his intelligence is so high that Chu admires him!"
Zhou Ziyu said quickly: "Zhou was just guessing. In order to save time, he took everyone to Yufu County first. At that time, he thought that even if it was not in Yufu County, it should be in the surrounding area, at least not too far away. Far."
When Chu Tang heard this, his heart moved. He glanced at the two people behind Zhou Ziyu and asked directly: "The results are out now?"
The corners of Zhou Ziyu's mouth slightly curved, showing a hint of joy, and he said seriously: "That's right! This is all thanks to the copper frame that Brother Chu brought from the Changhong Sword Sect! After thinking about it for the past few days, I finally found that place."
"Are you in Yufu County?" Chu Tang asked again.
"Exactly." Zhou Ziyu replied as expected.
Chu Tang pursed his lips, and finally resisted asking for the specific location, and instead asked: "Master Zhou's next plan is..."
Zhou Ziyu looked much more serious and said, "Zhou wants to ask Brother Chu for help!"
Chu Tang looked calmly: "Young Master Zhou has many capable people, so he definitely doesn't need Chu anymore. However, Chu knows better that now that we have reached this point, before the treasure is taken out, Mr. Zhou will definitely not rest assured about Chu." He was out for a stroll, so Chu could only continue walking with Mr. Zhou."
This is very honest and very helpless.
But Zhou Ziyu felt happy when he heard it, showing an overjoyed expression and said: "Brother Chu, don't worry, Zhou will definitely honor the conditions I promised you before after taking out the treasure."
Chu Tang also asked "excitedly": "Master Zhou really has the Eight Realm's unique skills?"
Their previous agreement was that Chu Tang would accompany them to retrieve the treasure, and Zhou Ziyu would give him an Eighth Realm Secret Art and an Eighth Grade Magic Weapon.
The character Chu Tang created in front of them was that of a martial arts fanatic, so he showed more interest in martial arts skills.
As for the magic weapon, it was just a surprise.
Zhou Ziyu replied affirmatively: "There will be some in the treasure!"
"Huh?" Chu Tang looked suspicious, "Mr. Zhou, Chu cannot accept your empty talk."
Zhou Ziyu's voice was a little cold: "Would Zhou, a descendant of King Liang, not know what the treasure contains?"
Chu Tang raised his eyes and glanced at Miss Lin'er and Qin Guang, and found that when they heard about Prince Liang's treasure, their faces were still expressionless and unwavering.
Instead, Chu Tang wondered how Zhou Ziyu managed to conquer him. Why did he let so many people from Zhou with different identities work for him, even if they did not hesitate to follow the same path of no return as him?
"Could it be that he also made a big picture like he did now, saying that whatever is in the treasure is what these people need?" Chu Tang had to doubt this, and became more interested in the treasure of King Liang than ever before.
"It's not that I don't believe Mr. Zhou, it's just that Chu doesn't want to waste his efforts and hopes to gain something." Chu Tang also responded to Zhou Ziyu lightly.
"I will definitely not disappoint Brother Chu!" Zhou Ziyu looked determined.
Chu Tang smiled and said, "I hope so."
"Then it's settled, we'll set off early tomorrow morning!" Zhou Ziyu said firmly.
"Tomorrow morning?" Chu Tang blurted out, "So soon?"
Zhou Ziyu said: "Stop the fight quickly to avoid long nights and long dreams! Zhou has made arrangements and everything is ready. Brother Chu, rest early tonight, recuperate and wait for our notification tomorrow morning."
Chu Tang agreed and saw that Zhou Ziyu was no longer interested in talking, so he said goodbye and returned to the room.
After closing the door, his face suddenly darkened, and he felt anxious about the unknown future.
What worries him even more is that Zhou Ziyu and his party haven't gone out in the past three days, and he can't find an excuse to go out for a walk. He has been staying in this courtyard, unable to do anything at all.
"Feng Jianqi, my Commander Feng, please don't let your chain slip!" Chu Tang prayed secretly in his heart.
When he was talking to Zhou Ziyu just now, he observed the other person's tone and expression many times.
Although Zhou Ziyu concealed it well, Chu Tang could still detect that the other party was secretly excited.
Even though the excitement that something big was about to be accomplished was hidden in his face and expression, his eyes that shone from time to time still revealed Zhou Ziyu's excited mood.
"Feng Jianqi doubts Zhou Ziyu's identity, and even doubts the authenticity of Prince Liang's treasure, but Zhou Ziyu's posture does not seem to be fake..." Chu Tang frowned, unable to make an accurate judgment.
After worrying for a while, he simply lay down: "Whatever! I'll know the result tomorrow! I've done everything I should do and can do. The rest is a matter of Feng Jianqi. If nothing is achieved, that's it. Their incompetence as guards has nothing to do with me!"
Feng Jianqi: This pot is so big, Feng can’t hold it!
In fact, after Chu Tang left, the remaining three people in the yard were also secretly communicating.
"Master, do you really want to take him to hunt for treasures with you?" It was the old man Qin Guang who asked the question, his tone full of doubts, "Young master has only known him for more than a month, and you trust him so much?"
Miss Lin'er also said: "That's right! Which one of us is not a proven one?"
Zhou Ziyu glanced at them and asked, "What do you think of my way of looking at people?"
Qin Guang was stunned for a moment and said: "Of course it is excellent."
Miss Lin'er whispered: "Huang Longfei."
As soon as he heard the name, Zhou Ziyu's face darkened, he glared at Miss Lin'er with dissatisfaction, and said: "This is a mistake, something that hasn't happened in decades. Besides, Chu Tangjiao's certificate of submission is better than Everyone must be realistic!"
"Sign up?" Miss Lin'er was puzzled.
Zhou Ziyu said leisurely: "The Crown Prince Nanqinghou."
Qin Guang was speechless, and Miss Lin'er couldn't argue.
Yes, Chu Tang even killed Nanqinghou Crown Prince and became a wanted target by the court and the martial arts holy land Luoshen Valley.
In the entire Liangzhou martial arts world, there shouldn’t be too many people who want to kill him!
What escape route does such a person have?
It's not like they were trying to trick someone, so Nan Qinghou and Chu Tang sacrificed their only son together, right?
The prince of Nanqinghou will definitely die. Zhou Ziyu knows this better than anyone else.
Seeing that they were silent, Zhou Ziyu added: "When I employ people, I don't expect them to follow me without asking for anything. As long as it's useful and suitable, I will use it! This Chu Tang is useful, we will use it tomorrow Hold him."
Qin Guang said calmly: "Young Master, it's good if you succeed."
Miss Lin'er also said: "I hope everything goes well tomorrow."
Zhou Ziyu hummed, lowered his head slightly, his eyes glowed, and a voice sounded in his heart: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and I will never fail."
…………
That night, many people in the small courtyard were tossing and turning.
Soon, morning comes.
When Chu Tang was woken up, he found that the sky outside was gray and it was not yet bright. He estimated that the time was probably just after Yin Shi.
When he walked out of the room, he found that Zhou Ziyu and his party were already ready and waiting for him.
Zhou Ziyu just glanced at him and shouted: "Let's go!"

Now it is corrected to seventh-grade. The content of the previous chapter has also been modified, but the chapter name cannot be modified. terribly sorry.
