Chapter 207: Treasures Cannot Be Monopolized (2/3)
Chapter 207: Treasures cannot be monopolized (23)
Yu Guihai looked at the mummy expressionlessly.
The mummy's face was twisted and full of pain. His body was covered with scars. Every inch of his skin had traces of torture. It was obvious that he had suffered inhuman torture before his death.
His limbs were nailed to the thick cross behind his back with multiple steel nails. The position of each steel nail was very tricky, just nailing the position of the twelve meridians, making it impossible for this person to circulate his internal energy.
There were also small steel nails nailed to his body, all along the meridians, sealing his internal energy in the body and preventing it from being circulated. This method can keep the victim's internal energy in the body and sustain life for a longer time.
This is a method specifically used against internal energy warriors. When torturing warriors, many people will use this method. Otherwise, the internal energy will be directly destroyed, and the warrior will easily die.
The mummy's fatal wounds were on the chest and the center of the eyebrows, each with a long nail piercing through, completely nailing his life.
Most of the body of the mummy was exposed, and the remaining tattered clothes were soaked with blood, but now they have become large black stains. Only in some corners can you see bright yellow cloth, which vaguely shows that it is a monk's robe.
"How cruel!"
Yu Guihai sighed in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
Seeing Yu Guihai's attention to the mummy, Jin Xieqing glanced at the mummy expressionlessly, and then introduced it with a smile.
"This guy is Lian Hui, the elder of the Sutra Hall of Jinlian Temple.
He was seriously injured at the beginning and happened to be discovered by my uncle. At that time, my uncle had already begun to suspect Jinlian Temple, so he directly arrested this man and tortured him severely, which tortured out many secrets."
Jin Xieqing then pointed directly to the iron box next to him and said: "The confession of Lian Hui and the evidence found that day are all in this iron box."
"Yeah!"
Yu Guihai nodded without comment, turned around and looked around. The walls of the secret room were smooth stone walls, and there were only some torture instruments around, and nothing else was found.
"There's nothing else hidden here, right?" He looked at Jin Xieqing and asked with a faint smile.
"No, there's nothing!" Jin Xieqing was stunned for a moment, and answered hurriedly.
"Well, my secret room likes to set up a lot of traps, yours is still too simple. You should be a little careful when putting such an important thing here."
Yu Guihai pointed out.
"The Ninth Elder is right. I will pay attention in the future." Jin Xieqing said flatteringly.
"Well! You move this box out, we will talk outside. The light here is a little dim."
Yu Guihai nodded, pointed to the iron box and said.
"Huh? Okay, okay, the light here is really bad, I can't see it clearly. Haha."
Jin Xieqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed awkwardly and said against his will.
After that, he moved the box and returned to the hut on the ground with Yu Guihai.
There was no moon outside in the middle of the night, only a torch, which seemed a little darker.
"It's better to put it here because the light is outside." Yu Guihai sighed and pointed to the middle of the house.
"."
Jin Xieqing secretly rolled his eyes, put the box in the place designated by Yu Guihai, and then reached out to open the lid. The box was filled with half a box of paper letters and other things.
"These papers are all Lian Hui's confession, and these letters are the secret letters between Jinlian Temple and Black Lotus Sect." Jin Xieqing pointed to the things in the box and said.
Then, he smiled bitterly, "If I hand these things over, I'm afraid they will be regarded as forgeries. No one will believe the words of a rebellious confidant who colluded with the Black Lotus Sect.
But if the Ninth Elder hands them over, I will be a circumstantial witness, which will definitely attract the attention of the Special Envoy. As long as the Golden Lotus Temple is investigated, the authenticity of these evidences can be immediately confirmed."
Then, he whispered in an ambiguous tone: "We can extract the confessions that record the storage locations of important treasures in advance, and then hand in the rest. In this way, the Ninth Elder can take the lead and get these treasures in advance."
"Jincheng Shou is wrong! How can we do this? This kind of thing goes against my principles of dealing with people, so don't mention it again."
Yu Guihai righteously retorted.
"Huh?"
Jin Xieqing was stunned. He didn't expect that this person was so upright. However, he immediately thought of Yu Guihai's heroic deeds of staying alone in the secret realm to seal the monster, and he felt relieved.
He thought to himself: After all, he is a young man with vigor and blood! Still able to maintain this innocence. Rare, really rare! In this way, my plan will be easier.
Then, Jin Xieqing bowed to the bottom and said sincerely: "The Ninth Elder is noble and upright, I admire you very much!"
"Haha, Jin Chengshou is too kind! When the time comes, I can just pick out the ones I like first, and leave the rest of the treasure information in it for the special envoy to deal with."
Yu Guihai smiled very pleased, and then said.
"Huh?"
Jin Xieqing was thinking about how to continue to flatter, and suddenly heard this, and was stunned.
Yu Guihai saw him in a daze, so he frowned slightly, put on a teacher-like look, and educated him.
"What? Jin Chengshou still doesn't understand?
As the saying goes, everyone makes money! You can't monopolize the benefits, you have to leave some benefits for others, so that things will be easier.
Think about it, if there are no benefits, what if the special envoy is not interested in dealing with Jinlian Temple?
So what you said about monopolizing all the treasures is wrong, you should leave some for others! "
"Huh? The Ninth Elder taught me that I was short-sighted. "
Jin Xieqing finally reacted, bowed his hands, and saluted with a sincere attitude, as if he really learned it.
But he was madly complaining in his heart: I don’t understand, I am shocked by your shamelessness! I didn’t expect that you are so black-hearted at such a young age, you are worthy of being a peerless genius!
"Please take a look at these things, Ninth Elder." In order not to reveal his thoughts, Jin Xieqing hurriedly changed the subject.
"Well, let’s do this. Jin Chengshou, it’s getting late, and I can’t stay overnight with you. Anyway, you have to hand over the things to me, so I can just take them back and look at them! "
Yu Guihai nodded and said calmly.
"."
Jin Xieqing was speechless.
Although he had something to ask of others, and he had indeed said so and was prepared to do so, could you be more tactful and give me some face! Didn't you see that I had prepared a lot of introductions to show off to you?
"If, so, that's fine. I will help you carry it to the carriage. When the time comes, the Ninth Elder must not forget what you promised!" Jin Xieqing said with a slightly stiff face.
"Don't worry, Jin Chengshou, I will definitely make a special petition for the matter between Huangzhou Mu and you, and your contributions cannot be erased."
Yu Guihai promised solemnly.
"Then I would like to thank the elder! Please!" Jin Xieqing bowed to the bottom with tears of gratitude, and then led Yu Guihai out.
The old man was guarding outside, and he also bowed and said, "Farewell, distinguished guest!"
"The old man is very strong. "Yu Guihai nodded, turned and left.
