Chapter 201 Where is the treasure hidden?
"What's written on this stone tablet?" Tong Luoluo asked curiously, walking closer to the stone tablet and trying to decipher the relief text on it.
Qingying also came over, "These words are ancient and profound. Give me some time, I should be able to decipher them."
Rong Yu looked around the empty basement. "There is nothing here except the stone tablet. Where is the treasure hidden?"
"Shh, don't make noise." Qingying looked at the words on the stone tablet intently, her fingers gently touching the raised lines, "It says here...'The real treasure lies not in external objects, but in the awakening and growth of the heart. You have gone through countless tests, it's time to know your true self'."
Tong Luoluo was thoughtful after hearing this. "Inner awakening and growth? What does this mean?"
"Perhaps, the real purpose of this adventure is not for us to find any material treasure." Qingying speculated.
Rong Yu scratched his head, "Aren't we looking for treasure? Then wouldn't all the hardships and falls we've endured along the way be in vain?"
"No, Rong Yu, you are wrong." Tong Luoluo looked at him and said, "Aren't the experiences along the way and our growth the most precious treasure?"
Qingying nodded in agreement. "Luolu is right. We have learned to cooperate, solve problems, and get to know ourselves better in this adventure. These experiences are priceless."
After hearing this, Rong Yu nodded thoughtfully, "That's true. I used to be a coward, but now I can face these challenges bravely."
"Moreover," Qingying pointed to another part of the text on the stone tablet and said, "there is also a final puzzle mentioned here."
"The final puzzle?" Tong Luoluo and Rong Yu asked in unison.
"Yes, this puzzle requires the three of us to solve it together. Only when we truly understand ourselves can we find the way to the ultimate treasure." Qingying explained.
The three smiled at each other, knowing that the adventure was not over yet, but they were no longer a team that was just looking for treasure. They now knew how to cherish each other, how to face challenges, and how to grow.
"Okay, let's solve this last puzzle!" Rong Yu said confidently.
Tong Luoluo and Qingying both nodded. They gathered in front of the stone tablet again and began to carefully study the complex text and patterns.
After some effort, they finally found the answer to the puzzle. It turned out that there was a mechanism hidden on the stone tablet, which could only be activated if the three of them put their palms in a specific position at the same time.
When they followed the instructions on the stone tablet, the basement floor suddenly cracked, revealing a staircase leading to a deeper level.
"It seems that this is the road to the ultimate treasure." Qingying said.
The three of them smiled at each other and embarked on a new journey without hesitation.
They went down the stairs and finally came to a huge basement. This basement was completely different from the previous stone chamber. It was ornately decorated, with a huge treasure chest in the center.
"Finally found the treasure!" Rong Yu shouted excitedly.
When they opened the huge box in front of him, they found that there was nothing!
"Empty?"
Several people were very disappointed!
In fact, not long before they entered this stone chamber, someone had visited!
Those people took the things away, but Tong Luoluo and the others didn't realize that they had come up empty-handed!
"How could it be empty?" Tong Luoluo was stunned. She looked at the huge empty box, her heart filled with disappointment.
Qingying frowned and looked around, "There must be other clues here. The treasure can't just disappear out of thin air."
Rong Yu squatted down and carefully examined the treasure chest. "Look, there is a small groove here. There seems to be something inside."
He pulled a yellowed piece of parchment from the groove. "What is this?"
Qingying took the parchment and unfolded it. There was a map drawn on it, as well as some strange symbols and words. "This should be the clue to the real treasure."
"The real treasure?" Tong Luoluo asked curiously, "You mean, this empty box is just a cover, and the real treasure is hidden somewhere else?"
"That's right." Qingying nodded, "And, judging from the map, the treasure should be hidden deep in this mountain."
Rong Yu rubbed his hands in anticipation, "Haha, this is going to be interesting. We originally thought that finding the treasure was the end of the matter, but we didn't expect that there would be an even bigger surprise waiting for us."
"However, this map looks so complicated." Tong Luoluo felt a headache looking at those strange symbols and words.
"It's okay, let's interpret it together." Qingying said, and began to study the map carefully.
No matter how they interpret it, there will be no more answers!
The oxygen they carried was running out, and they had to find a way out!
"This map looks like a heavenly book no matter how you look at it." Rong Yu widened his eyes, staring at the distorted symbols with a confused look on his face.
"Yes, these symbols and words are completely different from what we know." Qingying murmured, her fingers lightly running across the map, as if looking for some pattern.
Tong Luoluo stood aside, frowning, "We have to hurry, there is not much oxygen left."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the three of them knew that time was not enough. Not only did they have to face a complex map, but they also had to race against time.
"Wait, there's a mark here." Qingying suddenly said, her finger stopped on a strange symbol, "This symbol appears several times on the map, could it be the key?"
"Let me see." Rong Yu came closer and observed the symbol carefully. "Yes, indeed, this symbol seems to be a guide."
Tong Luoluo also joined the discussion, "So where does it point to?"
Qingying shook her head. "I don't know, but we can try to follow the order of these symbols and see if we can find anything."
The three of them moved quickly, following the symbols marked on the map, taking every step carefully, fearing that they would miss any clues.
As they went deeper, the atmosphere in the basement became more and more mysterious.
Unknown murals began to appear on the walls, each of which seemed to tell an ancient story.
"This seems to be an ancient temple." Rong Yu looked around, "Looking at these murals, they should be legends about a certain god."
"Don't worry about it for now, we have to find the exit quickly." Tong Luoluo reminded, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.
Qingying nodded, "Yes, follow these symbols and we should be able to find a way out."
Just when they were about to lose their patience, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of them. They quickened their pace and walked towards the direction of the light.
"It's the exit!" Rong Yu shouted excitedly.
The three rushed out of the basement and returned to the ground, breathing in the fresh air greedily, as if they were reborn.
"Great, we finally got out." Tong Luoluo exclaimed, a relieved smile on her face.
"Yes, it was a narrow escape." Qingying also laughed, "But we haven't found the real treasure yet."
"Humph, the treasure must be hidden somewhere in this mountain." Rong Yu said confidently, "We will definitely find it."
......
At this time, Rong Xi was waiting for Uncle Kong's reply!
Half an hour later, Uncle Kong reported to Rong Xi personally!
"Master, it's a pity that we didn't get anything!"
"Why, didn't you say you were sure?"
"That place may have been visited by someone a long time ago. It's empty now!"
Uncle Kong reports to Rong Xi!
"long, long ago?"
"Looking at the traces, it's probably at least several decades old!"
"So, I have no destiny with that so-called treasure!"
“This…” Uncle Kong looked a little embarrassed!
"Okay, Uncle Kong, don't be embarrassed. Just go and do your own thing!" After Rong Xi let him leave, he lit a cigarette!
To be honest, he seldom smokes, but when faced with difficult things, he naturally feels depressed and needs to release some steam!
Rong Xi took a deep breath of cigarette, and the smoke lingered in the air, and his thoughts drifted away. He had placed high hopes on the legendary treasure, hoping to use this opportunity to revive the family. However, now everything has turned into a bubble, and his joy was in vain.
He recalled the efforts he had made for this treasure, the days and nights of traveling, the dealings with various forces, and the nights of expectation and anxiety. Now, all the efforts seemed like a joke.
"It was visited decades ago..." Rong Xi muttered to himself, with an inexplicable emotion in his heart. Was it loss, helplessness, or unwillingness? He himself couldn't tell.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang, breaking his meditation. Rong Xi glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was his good friend and partner Lin Hao.
"Hey, Haozi, what's wrong?"
"Are you free? Come out and have a meal!"
"If you have something to say, just say it! I won't eat anymore!"
Speaking of Rong Xi, whether he has any friends or not, Lin Hao may be one of his only friends. Lin Hao is his high school classmate and has also inherited the Lin family's business!
However, compared with the Rong family, the Lin family's assets may be insignificant and not worth mentioning!
Lin Hao wanted him to give him some business. He had to make use of this old classmate's face. If Rong Xi could give him some advice, it would be much better than trying to do it himself!
"Brother, you've got to be so arrogant. We haven't seen each other for two or three years!" Lin Hao said!
"I'm busy!"
"I'm hosting a dinner in Jingdian tonight, you must come!" Lin Hao didn't say anything polite and hung up the phone right after he finished speaking!
At this time, Rong Xi was thinking about the treasure. He knew that if this was true, it would be much better than struggling like this. Moreover, most people could not digest this treasure, but he had a way!
