"Haha, hahaha …" Faced with the Taoist priest's framing and Li Xiusheng's murderous intent, Zhao Yu suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed for ten seconds, then said evilly, "Boss Li, when did I say that the treasure must be hidden next to the corpse? Wasn't that just a wild guess? "
"You!? Cough cough … "Li Xiusheng was so agitated that he started coughing violently.
"The reason why I mentioned why the corpse would climb to such a high place was to remind everyone!" Zhao Yu said, "The person who died had Qiu Cheng's will in his hand, but still climbed to such a high place. Why?"
Zhao Yu's question made everyone even more confused, and they all looked at him.
"Protect!" Zhao Yu wanted to clap his hands, but his hands were cuffed behind his back. He could only shake his head and say, "The descendants of Qiu Cheng died at such a high place because they wanted to protect the treasure, to protect the Qiu family's hope!"
"Humph!" The Taoist priest humphed coldly.
"You, aren't you getting more and more ridiculous?" Li Xiusheng shook his head.
"Ridiculous? How could it be ridiculous?" Zhao Yu said with certainty, "Let me ask you, the descendants of Qiu Cheng ran deep into the mountains to avoid the war. Why did they choose to go to such a cave when there were so many other caves? Do you think that it was a random choice? "
"That … that cave is halfway up the mountain …" Then, Professor Tian Dongmin couldn't help but interrupt, "The entrance of the cave is hidden, and it can hide from enemies and beasts!"
"Tian, are you crazy?" Wang Taiming heard that Tian Dongmin was being unreasonable with Zhao Yu, and he was so angry that he almost scolded the whole street.
Zhao Yu's face darkened, and he pointed at Tian Dongmin and said, "Yes, this old man said it too! The entrance of the cave is hidden. What is hidden? Hidden means that it's not easy to be discovered! " Zhao Yu suddenly said, "The cave is big, deep, and hidden. If I were Qiu Cheng, I would definitely consider where to hide the treasure!"
"This …"
Zhao Yu's words gave off a very strange feeling. It sounded like he was making it up, but there was no way to refute him.
"There are only a few possibilities," Zhao Yu said. "After the war broke out in Luya, Qiu Cheng's descendants wanted to go into the mountains to look for treasures. So, according to the directions on the treasure map, they found the cave!
"At that time, the Millennium Pine Tree must have been there, and the cave must have been easy to find!
"However, after they found the cave, there were two possibilities. One, there was a problem with their treasure map, and they lost it or it was incomplete. They only found the cave, but did not find the treasure. Two, they found the treasure, but they were in a chaotic world, so it was useless to take it out. Instead, they might even get themselves killed. Therefore, they did not touch the treasure.
"All in all, they lived in that cave! On one hand, it was to avoid the war, and on the other hand, it was to protect the treasures!
"But unfortunately, there was a plague or something like that, and all the people died! Therefore, the person who held Qiu Cheng's will climbed to a high place before he died. He held the will in his hand. Perhaps, he wanted to pass down the secret of the Golden Buddha treasure! "
"Humph! Nonsense. "The Taoist priest clenched his teeth and said," There is no Crescent Moon Pit in the cave, nor any Raindrop Stone. Besides the underground river, there is nothing else! "
"Mm …" Li Xiusheng pondered and agreed, "What the Taoist priest said makes sense. The treasure can't be hidden in the underground river, right? No matter how stupid Qiu Cheng was, he would not hide the treasure in a place that was submerged! That is the Golden Buddha! Also, if your inference is correct, the treasure is very likely to have been touched, right? "
"Humph!" Zhao Yu pretended to be angry and said to Li Xiusheng, "Boss Li, believe it or not! I said, I know where the treasure is! I said I know, and that means I know! I'm not a fool. If I tell you all the answers right now, I won't have a single trump card left! You can kill me, right? "
"This …" Li Xiusheng stared at Zhao Yu and said, "Alright, since you are so confident, I will believe you this time! I'll say this upfront. I'm not a good person. If you dare lie to me, I'll make sure you die a horrible death! "
Zhao Yu's hands were restrained, so he could only shrug his shoulders as an answer.
Then, the team moved forward again, towards the cave where the ancient remains were hidden.
After the rain stopped, the sun finally broke through the clouds and revealed its true face. The forest was filled with cicadas and birds chirping, and it was full of life.
Although Zhao Yu did not show it on the surface, one could imagine the pressure he was under. Only he knew in his heart that the treasure was a complete fabrication. There were no similarities, nor were there any coincidences.
So, on the way forward, he was still looking for a chance to escape. However, Li Xiusheng's people maintained a high level of vigilance and did not have any intention of letting their guard down.
Originally, Zhao Yu thought of an idea, which was to cooperate with the Taoist priest and fight their way out of the encirclement. However, the cautious Li Xiusheng kept an eye on the Taoist priest personally, not allowing Zhao Yu any chance to get close to him.
Actually, the reason why Zhao Yu wanted to delay for so long was because, ever since the system opened the "Gen Qian" hexagram, it had been a day and a half, but the system still did not send him any message about the end of the adventure. This had never happened before.
So, Zhao Yu was looking forward to the end of the adventure. Would he get a powerful device? He did not need anything else, just an Invisible Invisibility Cloak, and he might be able to solve the problem!
However, Zhao Yu waited for a long time, but the system in his brain did not respond.
What was worse was that the journey was very smooth. In less than two hours, they found the cave that was hidden halfway up the mountain!
Tsk tsk …
Seeing that the final showdown was getting closer and closer, Zhao Yu could not help but feel pressured. However, in order not to let Li Xiusheng and the others see through him, he pointed at the forest in front of the cave and said,
"Look! Take a good look. Isn't it all pine trees in front of the cave? Mm? Let me tell you, the thousand-year pine tree that was mentioned on the treasure map must have been here! Look, these pine trees are so tall and straight. After a thousand years, they will all become thousand-year pines. Hehe … "
As the Taoist priest and the old experts had just come to the cave not long ago, they were very familiar with the route. In just a short while, they led everyone into the cave.
Just like what the old experts had said, the entrance of the cave was filled with plants. If one were to look at it from the foot of the mountain, it would be hard to see.
After entering the cave, there was indeed a huge space, big enough to fit three to four basketball courts!
"Here!"
After entering the cave, the Taoist priest pointed upwards. Everyone quickly saw that there was a deep depression where the wall of the cave connected to the top of the cave. If one were to look at it from the bottom, they would have thought that there was some kind of hidden cave!
But, as the Taoist priest said that they had already searched the place, Zhao Yu naturally did not have to let them climb up.
"Alright, police officer!" Li Xiusheng said to Zhao Yu coldly, "The cave, we have arrived! Next, it's up to you! I can guarantee with my reputation that if you can really find the Gold Buddha statues, I will let you admire them to your heart's content, and then let you die a quick death! How about that? "
"Alright!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Straightforward enough! Then … "He looked around, then used his chin to point at the depths of the cave and said," Follow me! The time to witness a miracle is coming soon! "
"Hey! How many times do I have to say it before you believe me? " Then, the Taoist priest was very angry, "The cave is connected to an underground river. We have searched all of them! You are wasting time, hurry up and kill these two policemen! "
"F * ck!" Zhao Yu scolded angrily, "You have searched all of them? Have you really searched all of them? Boss Li, "Zhao Yu turned around and said," Think about it. If the Crescent Moon Pit and the Raindrop Stone were so easy to find, why would they be called treasures? "
"But … water …" Li Xiusheng seemed to be hesitating, not knowing who to believe.
"Please, can you use your brains? You are only looking at what is in front of you, but have you ever thought about the history, huh? " Zhao Yu opened his eyes wide and said, "Did you forget under what situation Qiu Cheng cast the Gold Buddha statues?!"
"Huh? What … What situation? "Everyone was confused.
"Pray … Pray for rain …" Then, Tian Dongmin couldn't help but interrupt, "The world was in great drought! In order to pray for rain, Governor Qiu collaborated with the local rich merchants to cast the Gold Buddha statues! "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu puffed up his nose and said, "The world was in great drought! In other words, when Qiu Cheng hid the treasures, there was no water, no underground river! "
"That … That's not right?" Li Xiusheng shook his head, "Even if there was no water at that time, Qiu Cheng should have known that there would be water sooner or later. He couldn't have hidden it in such a place, right?"
"Why not?" Zhao Yu shook his head, "Throughout the ages? Why did Qiu Cheng hide the treasures? Let me tell you! He did it for his own future needs, to leave a way out for himself! Why would he consider what would happen a few hundred years later?
"Think about it, everyone! For his own selfish desires, Qiu Cheng even dared to swap the Gold Buddha statues that were used to pray for the people. In terms of criminology, this person is an extremely selfish person! For such a selfish person, he could only think of himself! Just like … just like the two of you! "
As he spoke, Zhao Yu used his chin to point at Li Xiusheng, then pointed at the Taoist priest, Yuan Shucai.
Suddenly, the whole cave became quiet. Everyone was shocked by Zhao Yu's impassioned and logical reasoning.
