When everyone returned to the monk hall, the monk urged, "Ru Feng, tell us in detail about your treasures." Seeing that everyone was seated around him, Ru Feng couldn't help but say happily, "The process of obtaining the treasure is nothing special, so it's normal for me to tell everyone about it." In fact, I have nothing to show for it. Since everyone wants to hear it, I'll tell you straight out. I hope everyone will not think my story is too long. "

After that, he sat down and began to talk at a leisurely pace after he had been entrusted by Cai Songpo to enter the capital. Everyone in the room listened intently, forgetting to light the lamps. Rufeng soon arrived at the place where he had visited the Yuan Mansion during the night. The fourth young Daoist couldn't help but feel happy and boasted, "Martial Uncle truly is worthy of being called a high monk in Shaolin. You truly are courageous and knowledgeable." Yuan Shikai's guards were on guard duty, surrounded by experts in martial arts. You actually entered as if you were walking on flat ground. We're all sweating for you. " When he reached the edge of the veranda and peeped in, he saw that Yuan Shikai was dancing around among the dancers. Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this time, there were a few monks outside. Hearing the laughter in the room, they knew that they had started a story. They called out to each other and also ran in to listen. There were only two monks left on duty outside. The others all came, filling up the Master Fang's Zen Hall.

After the story of Rufeng's spy on the Yuan Mansion, he told them that he had snatched the Taibai Restaurant and bribed the shop assistant. He spoke with a certain fluency, a certain feeling, and a certain scene. Everyone was completely focused and happy. They all laughed and laughed at the fellow's greed for the small advantage. As Yuan Shikai, Liu Gonggong and his bodyguard arrived at Taibai Restaurant, he first sent his bodyguard into the building to take a look. Everyone was alarmed and nervous for Ru Feng. When it came to the matter of the shop assistant acting according to plan and obtaining the treasure from Ruo Feng, everyone started clapping their hands in delight.

Rufeng told the whole story, everyone was really interested in seeing the treasure. The monks lit a dozen candles and set the tables to view the treasures. The four Priests all urged Ru Feng, "Martial Uncle, the story is finished. The room is now brightly lit. We've been waiting anxiously. " The abbot, Fa Tong, and Fa Ming all sat at their tables, waiting eagerly. Rufeng felt his mouth go dry. He said to the four young men, "You guys only wanted me to tell you stories and see treasures, but you forgot to bring the lamp and make the tea. I am thirsty, and if I don't serve tea, I won't be able to see the treasure anymore. " After which, he smiled at the crowd.

The four little Daoist successively said, "That's right. I forgot about everything for a while." The masters must be thirsty. We'll have tea now. " The four of them went out to get some tea. Some of them picked up their pots and some of them carried their cups. Soon, the fragrant jasmine tea was made. Puxian then handed the white jade cup to the three of them, Fang Dang, Fa Tong, Fa Ming, and Ru Feng. Rufeng took a sip of his tea and said, "If you are so attentive, it would be better if you could view the treasure." Pu Xian said: "Ah, Martial Uncle, why don't you two drink some tea and look at the treasures. We're really anxious. "

Seeing that everyone was worried, the man pointed at them and laughed, "Ah Ruo Feng, hurry up and take out the treasure or you'll be in a bad mood." Farmer laughed as well. "Ru Feng, stop trying to keep us in suspense. We're just looking at the treasure." "I'm drinking tea right now. If I leave, the tea will get cold," Ru Feng said to the four little Daoist Masters. Go and get it yourself. " The four young Adepts were overjoyed upon hearing this. They rushed to be the first to run out. After a while, they all came back and asked, "Martial Uncle, you still haven't said where the treasures are?" "It's all your fault," he said with a laugh. You didn't hear what I just said. "

The four of them lit up their lanterns, and Pu Xian said, "Let's be careful now. Martial Uncle will repeat himself, so we won't have to look around randomly." "The treasure is in the hat of our master," said Ruo Feng. The four of them picked up lanterns and headed to the Buddhist Sangha. Pu Xian placed his hat on one side and threw away the old clothes inside. He then took the treasure and without looking at it first, the four of them ran back. Pu Xian placed the treasure in front of Ruo Feng.

Everyone immediately sat back down and surrounded the table to watch. At this time, the abbot was in the south, the mountain in the north, the Farmer in the east, and the Fakun in the west. Each of the four young men was standing on either side, with the monks standing behind them; the tables were almost completely surrounded by rain and wind.

When everyone saw the treasure wrapped in a piece of black satin, Fa Tong said, "How can Yuan Shikai dress up like this? It is as if he is some family's daughter-in-law and wants to visit her parents." "He came with a bundle." "That Yuan Shikai has been around all his life, dabbling in government affairs. Not only were they skilled in martial arts, they also had a lot of experience in the martial arts world. It could be said that he had seen a lot. The reason why he used such a simple method to disguise his treasure was to hide it from others. The fact that he chose a secluded place like the Taibai Restaurant to meet with people showed how crafty he was. "Were it not for the fact that Rufeng had heard their secret agreement beforehand, no one would ever have known what he was doing.

After he finished speaking, Ru Feng untied the bundle, revealing a small wooden chest about a foot square. The box was exquisite and beautiful, with colorful colors. On the top of the twin phoenix carvings, around the engraved two dragons play with pearls, dragons and phoenixes appear, nine dragons play with water, mountains and rivers sunrise four patterns, lifelike. Everyone looked at it again and again. They all thought it was exquisite.

Fang Dang laughed, "It looks like the dowry of a concubine. Yuan Shikai is willing to give away his wife's makeup to the Japanese in order to restore his position. " The abbot's words were full of humor, causing everyone to burst out in laughter. He took a closer look at the chest, finding it difficult. The top of the box was flawless, as if a piece of wood had been carved with patterns. And he said to himself, "How can such a thing be opened? The production is really amazing. " He raised the treasure chest again and looked down. There were a few beautifully crafted feet on the bottom, arranged like the Big Dipper. "This is probably carved from a piece of wood, right?" he asked. Why else would there be no gap at all? If it is a box, there should be a mechanism and a mark to open it. " He picked it up and shook it a few more times. "It's carved from a piece of wood, not a box," he replied. He was sweating profusely.

"Don't look at the unmarked box. It must be a box with treasures inside. It was definitely not a woodblock with patterns engraved on it. Because Yuan Shikai said, 'It's priceless!' No matter how well the woodblock was carved, it couldn't be priceless. And he would never coax the Japanese with a piece of wood. " Farmer said, "Reverend, your analysis is correct. This thing was truly worthy of being a treasure. It was truly wondrously crafted. Anyone who wants to open it will have a hard time. "

Everyone was anxiously discussing the treasure chest, hoping that Ruo Feng would open it as soon as possible. He saw Rufeng looking closely at the box to find the mechanism, and was sweating profusely at the same time. Fang Dang laughed again, "No matter how much sweat you have, it's useless. What's the hurry? Look around slowly. Everyone, think of a way to open it. " Rufeng thought that the abbot was mocking him, and said to himself, "This thing must be a blockhead. I can't open it, you can't open it either. I might as well just push it to you." You don't have to laugh at me. " Ruping the treasure chest to the abbot, he wiped off his sweat and said: "I am ugly. Please open it up for everyone. You must not hack it with an axe. " Everyone understood the meaning behind Ru Feng's words, and they all smiled at him.

The abbot smiled at Rufeng, "You are trying to make things difficult for this old monk. It was the first time I had ever seen anything so wonderful. "Then let this old monk be ugly as well." He picked up the treasure chest and examined it carefully. After he finished looking at the seven legs on the chest, he put the chest down and smiled. Everyone was pleasantly surprised and called out, "Master Fang has a plan. He will definitely be able to open it." Farmer Fuming also laughed, "Reverend, you are indeed very knowledgeable. You have seen through the mechanism." "When I was young, my master took me to visit friends at the Spirit Hidden Temple. I remember meeting an expert there. The gentleman looked gentle. He often went to play chess with the abbot there. As they played chess, they talked about some of the wonders peculiar to our country. I heard a lot from him. I was so captivated by what he was saying that I sat beside him and listened to his tea. I still remember a lot of what the master told me. He said that there was a kind of lock in ancient China called the 'Yin Yang Nine Revolutions Seven Stars Lock'. "

The abbot turned the box over and pointed to the crowd. "Look: the seven feet on this box coincide with the seven stars, and they are arranged like a bucket. The opening mechanism must be on these seven feet. Even if it was flawless, it would definitely be able to be opened. "It wants to strike at the heart and open the sun." Everyone was convinced. "Don't say anything, Master Fang. Let's just open it and take a look." "Let us also experience the secret of the Seven Star Lock."

"Fortunately, I heard it perfectly, and I still remember the method of unlocking it," he continued. It had been more than eighty years since he had last seen the original object. I'm not sure I can open it. " "You're right," he replied. "If I could open it at will, I wouldn't be a treasure anymore." He did not fight with him and instead went to test the seven legs on the chest. When he saw that everyone could move, he said to everyone, "This thing has been caught by me. It was definitely the 'Yin Yang Nine Revolutions Seven Stars Lock'. "Look, I'll open it right away."

Everyone immediately closed up and held their breath to take a closer look. While fiddling with the seven legs, he explained to the crowd, "If you were to unlock this lock, you would first draw out the Yin and Yang, then the Nine Revolutions, then the Revolving Star Passage Technique, and finally the Yin-Yang Lock." Fa Ming hurriedly went up to Led them by the neck to listen carefully, one by one, they all entered his mind. "Anything with this lock must contain some rare treasure," he said. In order to prevent people from stealing the treasure, there was usually a poison crossbow and incense inside. They came at the same time as the box was opened. I reckon that this treasure chest has been opened by someone many times before. Maybe the poison crossbows and the smoke from the incense are gone. "In order to prevent any accidents, we all need to be careful when opening the boxes." Pu Xian became nervous after hearing that, "Wait a moment." Let's go find some shelter. " The four young Adepts all ran off in search of something to protect themselves with.

While waiting for them, the abbot said, "When I was at the Spirit Concealing Temple, I heard from the master that there is a 'Great Hidden Scripture', the only original one in the world. It was in the box with the lock. The treasure of the Great Vault was brought by Patriarch Damocles himself when he came to China from India. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in China, there was a Black Bun Lama in Buddhism. He was very dissatisfied with the 'Dazang Sutra' in China and was determined to bring it back to India. Later he studied Tibetan and studied Chinese customs. He dressed up as a Chinese Lama and snuck into the Dazhao Temple in Tibet. At that time, the 'Great Vault Scripture' was stored in the Shang Bao Room of the Dazhao Temple. After more than ten years of hiding his name and bearing the shame, the Black Bun finally stole the 'Great Hidden Scripture'. The steamed bun was very happy. He was afraid of being chased by others, so he took the treasure chest and hid in the 'Tranquility Monastery' at the southern foot of the Tangula Mountain. He thought to himself, 'I have sacrificed half my life's energy and youth for this treasure. If he wasn't carrying water to sweep the ground, he was chopping firewood and raising the fire. He had suffered a lot. As I thought about it, I felt both regret and joy. What's the use of getting the Book of Great Vault back to India? " Thus, he had the thought of taking a good look at the Great Hidden Scripture first. He thought to himself, 'No matter what, I still have to look through this treasure first. He did everything he could to open the treasure chest and take a look. No, he didn't recognize this kind of lock. The black steamed bun racked its brains, but it was still unable to open the chest no matter how hard it tried. After smashing the chest and taking a look, he once again felt that it was a pity to waste such a precious item. Thus, no matter how he looked at it, he was unwilling to part with the treasure chest.
