“At the back of Shuranga carried on saying “Most of the scriptures had been lost, and the materials in the Cultural Relics Bureau were incomin and myself knew that, at the bottom of the lotus pond, ould be able to find the printed versions of part of the scriptures That e drew out a portion of the water fro any earlier” Zhao Yu ied “Tell me quickly, what clues were found?”
“At the end, following the hints fromin replied immediately “We also found three other words: “Jade Stone Slope!”
“Jade Stone Slope?” Zhao Yu frowned and asked “What does itthe possibilities, we felt that it should be The General Ridge,” Tian Dongmin said “There was a valley at both the southern and northern foothills of The General Ridge I reckoned that the piece of ancient jade would reside in a special place within The General Ridge However, it was not docu Tai added, “All of us knew that the southern foothills of The General Ridge was named Deer Tail Thus, it was presu to the the Jade Stone Slope in The General Ridge”
“Oh… That was helpful to narrow the scope of search” Zhao Yu’s eyes lit up and he quickly asked, “What about the third one? What ritten on the third one?”
This tiht to the point, “Millenium pine tree! It was found on a stone tablet of the evity scripture”
“Millennium pine tree?” Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and said, “It meant that we just needed to find the Millenniue, But… All of you… do not look like you had found the Gold Buddha If the Gold Buddha was found, how could your lives be spared?”
“Yes! The Millenniumin ee and the northern foothills, yet they could not find this Millennium pine tree We suspected that this Millennium pine tree could have been cut down or withered away, as it was nowhere to be found!”
“That is true!” Zhao Yu shared the sa “The pine tree was already a thousand years old during the Ming dynasty The chance of it surviving till this day is very low!”
“The Taoist priest spared no expense to search for the Millennium pine tree They hacked into the website of the Lin Ye branch to retrieve the full list of locations where tall Millenniurew It was a pity that the Lin Ye branch was not h in the records to display these details”
“Oh, because no pine tree was found, the treasures could not be found either!” Zhao Yu continued asking, “What happened next? Were therereplied, “There were a total of six clues found on the piece of ancient jade The first three clues were: The General Ridge, Jade Stone Slope, and Millennium pine tree We could not find the scripture associated with the fourth clue The scripture failed to be handed down to the next generation, and is unlikely to be found within the near future!” He added, “But, we found the last two clues They were: the Crescent Moon pit and the Raindrop Stone”
“Oh?” Upon hearing this, Miao Ying could not help but frown She did not expect that there would be such a long list of clues This would
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “That sounds so challenging! The Crescent Moon pit could be a very deep pit If they hid the treasures into this deep pit, covered by the Raindrop Stone, which was right beside the Millennium pine tree, could the pit be covered up, after hundreds of years?”
“We thought so, too,” Tian Dong is such a smart person He would certainly find a safer place to keep the treasures than to bury them in the deep pit”
“For a few days, the Taoist priest and hisTai replied “They could not find a place that matched the clues: Millennium pine tree, Crescent Moon pit, and Raindrop Stone That hy they planned to visit the southern foothills toic event would happen this ! We were surprised to see… sopro? That explosion…”
Tian Donghed and said, “The Taoist priest was a very cautious man No matter what he did, he would always have a backup plan! Because of the fact that explosives ht be needed to cut into a mountain or crush stones, the Taoist priest and hiswhen they were pitching their tents, they would bury a bag of explosives under a rock within the vicinity of the ca, while ere still half asleep, we heard that the campsite was surrounded by the police!”
“At that moment, we believed that ould both be safe! Because of the sudden appearance of the police, and the To soundly The police could have easily subdued the To, the police operation went suns The police surrounded the Tomb robbers successfully At that crucialwatched by a Tomb robber in a tent The tent was pitched near the river bank that was quite a distance away from the police, thus, ere unable to rush out and call for help”
