Shen Tie looked at Zhou Liang who was full of expectations, nodded and said, "That's right, his surname is Zhou, and he is the benefactor of our Shen family."

Zhou Liang was overjoyed and said, "That's great, I am a descendant of the Zhou family. The heavens have eyes to let the descendants of our two families meet again. Brother Shen, according to what you said, as long as you cut off the stone turtle's foot You can find the location of the treasure if you put the copper shackles on it, right?"

Zhou Liang's enthusiasm overwhelmed Shen Tie, so he could only respond: "Yes, but it's what Xie Lang said, not me."

"It doesn't matter what anyone says, the important thing is that our two families should cooperate sincerely to find out these treasures as soon as possible." Zhou Liang said excitedly, and he did not forget to promise Shen Tiedi's benefits, "When the time comes, I will definitely have your benefits of."

"Uncle Zhou, although you are the benefactor's descendant, there are still some things that need to be clarified." Shen Tie said with a serious face, "Our ancestors were instructed to assist the person who opened the mechanism to obtain the batch of things. Not to assist the descendants of the Zhou family."

"This...is there any difference?" Zhou Liang said in amazement, feeling that the young man Shen Tie was a bit stubborn.

"Of course there is a difference, because the person who opened the mechanism was Xie Lang, and I saw it with my own eyes." Shen Tie said, "Then that means, Xie Lang is the owner of these things, so you have no right to deal with them, Uncle Zhou." This batch."

"What!" Zhou Liang was almost furious, "How unreasonable! I gave this key to Xie Lang, and you dare to say that this thing is not mine? Besides, shouldn't the things left by the Zhou family's ancestors belong to the Zhou family? I It seems that you kid wants to cooperate with Xie Lang, and take the opportunity to reap more benefits, right?"

"Uncle Zhou's words are hard to hear." Shen Tie sneered, "Our Shen family is only for promises."

Seeing that Zhou Liang and Shen Tie were about to quarrel, Zhou Nan couldn't bear it anymore, and said to her father: "Dad, you... can you just say a few words less, I don't think Shen Tie is such a person .”

After all, Zhou Liang still felt sorry for his daughter, so he snorted coldly and finally shut up.

Xie Lang came over and said, "Uncle Zhou, I think you may have misunderstood. In fact, I told Senior Sister Zhou earlier that if those things were really gold, silver and jewelry, I, Xie Lang, would give up all of them. But I think there may be There are a lot of organs and equipment, which is what I am most interested in, so I have the cheek to follow up with you to track down these things, hoping to learn and use those organs and equipment."

"Okay, this is what you said yourself, don't regret it then." Zhou Liang said.

Zhou Liang had already researched the information about his ancestor Zhou Xu. He knew that Zhou Xu was the treasury manager of the Chengdu Mansion. Although the position of this post was not high, it had a good chance of getting in touch with a lot of money, so he believed that these people Stuff is treasure.Besides, Zhou Liang felt that if it wasn't for the treasures, his ancestors didn't need to die for these things.

After all, people die for money, and birds die for food.Even if you want to set up a league, you must have money. This is a reasonable explanation.

However, with Xie Lang's promise, Zhou Liang was finally relieved temporarily.

Seeing that Zhou Liang had no objections, Xie Lang said to Shen Tie again: "Brother Shen, the previous commotion was really big enough. It's really not suitable for doing this during the day. What do you think at night?"

"Around eleven o'clock in the evening, it should be more appropriate. The machinery at the nearby construction site will work until around twelve o'clock, which can help us cover up the sound. At this time, many people are almost asleep, and it can also reduce some people's attention. "Shen Tie said, "Besides, I have to spend some time to prepare the sharp weapon for cutting the red copper shackles."

Those who can smelt iron well, of course have a way to get sharp weapons, Xie Lang is not too worried about this. '

"Then it's eleven o'clock in the evening." Xie Lang looked at Zhou Nan, "Senior Sister, what do you think?"

Zhou Nan seemed to be in a bad mood, nodded silently, and said, "Okay, you will wait for me at the school gate at ten o'clock in the evening."

"Alright, senior sister, go prepare with Uncle Zhou, and I will discuss it with Shen Tie," Xie Lang said.

"Why, you two want to steal the treasure?" Zhou Liang had just finished speaking, when he saw his daughter's expression was unkind, "Hmph, the key is still in my hand, I'm sorry you can't play tricks, this treasure belongs to our Zhou family .”

At this time, Zhou Nan had already left and walked towards the parking lot, and Zhou Liang hurriedly chased after his daughter.

"Really, I didn't expect the descendants of the Zhou family to be so virtuous." Shen Tie looked at Zhou Liang's back and said with emotion, "The ancestor of the Zhou family is said to be a very powerful craftsman with both ability and political integrity. My great-grandfather went out to mine iron ore, and the pregnant grandma was left at home. If the ancestors of the Zhou family did not help, our Shen family would have disappeared. Later, the ancestors of the Zhou family also taught my great-grandfather how to make iron. This made our Shen family's ironmaking skills a step further, so this kindness is not small. However, I didn't expect the descendants of the Zhou family to do this. The treasures left by the ancestors. By the way, Xie Lang, how did you know about these things?"

"This matter is a bit complicated..." Xie Lang knew that Shen Tie was a straightforward and reliable person, so he told Shen Tie about the discovery of the ghost building.

After Shen Tie listened, he sighed: "This is in the dark, and there will be a number of days. It seems that the ancestors of the Zhou family chose you to be the guardian of these things. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?" What's more, I heard that most of those things were mechanical devices, and it would be useless for the descendants of the Zhou family to get them, so it's no wonder that you were the one who used the key to open the mechanical devices. By the way, Xie Lang, have you ever heard of earthworks? , Heavenly work?"

"Digong, Tiangong?" Xie Lang said in surprise, "So you have heard these legends."

"Not only have I heard of it, but I have always wanted to become a legendary craftsman." Shen Tie's eyes were full of longing, "I heard that geotechnical and celestial craftsmen have the means to penetrate the mystery, so it should be a very interesting realm. This In two years, my skills have stagnated. My father said that I have reached the limit of ordinary craftsmen. Whether I can make a breakthrough in the future depends on chance. In the past two years, I have always wanted to leave I went out to have a look, but I was stuck in the ancestral precepts and couldn't leave the Chen Clan Academy, so it was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately you finally came now."

"Speaking of which, I do know a geotechnical worker, and I'll recommend it to you when I have time." Of course, the person Xie Lang was talking about was Qin Zhe.

"Really?" Shen Tie said, "Have you ever seen a real earthworker?"

Xie Lang nodded and said, "It's just that I heard from him that if you want to become a geotechnical worker, you have to go through some kind of 'realistic baptism', but you need to pay some price."

"As long as I can become a geotechnical engineer, I am willing to pay any price." Shen Tie said.

"The price is your freedom in life." Xie Lang sighed, "It may mean that you have to isolate yourself from the current world."

"Freedom?" Shen Tie couldn't help being stunned, obviously he didn't think that this was the price.

After being silent for a while, Shen Tie let out a long breath suddenly, "Why is it such a price?"

Xie Lang smiled wryly, and said, "I haven't figured this out yet. However, if I want to trade for freedom, I'd rather find a way by myself. After all, there is no unparalleled road."

"That's right, there is no unparalleled road." Shen Tie nodded in response, but his mood seemed a little depressed.

Although almost everyone has heard the saying that man can conquer the sky, it is not easy to do it, not to mention that Shen Tie has been on this road for many years, and he knows best how difficult it is to take that crucial step.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xie Lang arrived at the school gate on time.

But until 10:30, Zhou Nan's car hadn't arrived, and Xie Lang realized that something was wrong.But the more stupid mistake was when Xie Lang discovered that he didn't have Zhou Nan's mobile phone number, which meant that he couldn't contact him at all.

In regret, Xie Lang waited for a few more minutes, but still did not hear from Zhou Nan.

Therefore, Xie Lang had no choice but to give up and took a taxi to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall.

When Xie Lang arrived at Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, it was almost eleven twenty.

There is no moon tonight. Fortunately, the street lights in this area have not been extinguished due to construction.

Because the construction of the road was impassable, Xie Lang walked another way, and when he arrived at the stone bridge, he found that Zhou Nan and her father were already there, and Zhou Liang was busy beside the stone turtle on the bridge railing, but But it seems that Shi Gui's teeth have not even been pried open, and he is sweating profusely.

And Shen Tie, still staying in his shack at this time, lit an oil lamp, staring at Zhou Liang as if watching the excitement.

No matter how stupid Xie Lang was, he guessed that Zhou Liang might have left him alone, so he stepped forward and asked Zhou Liang, "Uncle Zhou, do you want to help? I think you are sweating profusely?"

Zhou Nan looked very embarrassed, and explained to Xie Lang: "Xie Lang, I'm sorry... I... I forgot to pick you up from school."

Xie Lang knew that Zhou Nan was not the kind of person who kept his promises, and said, "It's okay, I often forget things too."

Zhou Liang heard Xie Lang's words, but he only felt that Xie Lang was mocking him, and he was extremely upset, but he didn't understand the mechanism, so how could he open the stone turtle's mechanism?If it wasn't for thinking about the treasure, Zhou Liang would have wished to smash the stone turtle to pieces.He was not a crazy person at first, but during the decades of searching for treasures, his life had changed him unknowingly.

Because of the treasure, Zhou Liang not only lost his wife, but also his own nature.

Seeing that Zhou Liang was silent, Xie Lang didn't go forward to make fun of himself, and went straight to Shen Tie.

Borrowing the dim light of the oil lamp, Shen Tie leisurely peeled the boiled pods and drank some wine.
