Chapter 167 Alibaba and the Forty Thieves

The city lord finally took the cursing Kasili away, and made an appointment with Yan Shaoqing to dig out the stone fort sunk in the quicksand tomorrow.

When everything calmed down, Shen Ru looked at Yan Shaoqing as if he was asking for help.

"Don't look at me like this, I'll take you with me."

Yan Shaoqing looked very excited, "Shen Ru, everything you dig up will be yours. Don't you get excited when you think about it?"

"The Forty Thieves?"

Shen Ru asked tentatively: "What kind of gang of robbers is this? Why don't you tell me more."

"A hundred years ago, there was a group of frightened bandits in this desert. This group of people burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The world didn't know their true appearance, so they only called this group of bandits Huangsha."

Yan Shaoqing calmed down his expression and spoke slowly.

"I heard that the cities of some small countries have been robbed. In just a few years, they have accumulated great wealth."

"No one could catch them at that time. In the end, God couldn't bear it anymore. One night, the stone castle they were in sank and everyone was swallowed by the quicksand. Including the property they had robbed over the past few years, they were all buried. Under the yellow sand."

"So, you are going to rob tombs?"

After hearing this, Shen Ru said coolly, "Aren't you afraid of quicksand?"

"Aren't you afraid that the lord of the Innocence City will lie to you?"

Shen Ru felt that for such a good thing, there was no reason for the city lord to drag Yan Shaoqing along!

"Oh, some people also say that many of the forty thieves are Han Chinese. Maybe they are afraid that there are some things that only us Han people can get!"

Yan Shaoqing is not stupid.

Shen Ru thought about it and found that she had no reason not to go.

You have space, you find the treasure, move it immediately, and no one can find it?

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Yan Shaoqing called his guards over again. The injured continued to recuperate in the inn, while the others went with him.

As for Dundup, she felt there was no need to go and planned to stay at the inn.

At dawn the next day, Yan Shaoqing, Shen Ru and the other five people had already joined the city lord's team.

"She's going anyway, what can she do?"

Seeing Kasili, Yan Shaoqing asked directly in disgust.

"Kasili is making a noise and wants to go. My nephew, don't worry, my people will watch her."

The city lord smiled and said: "A little girl won't cause much trouble."

As she spoke, Shen Ru felt that the city lord seemed to have glanced at her.

Although Yan Shaoqing was not happy, he suppressed his emotions, nodded, and headed to the desert together.

The desert is boundless and filled with rolling yellow sand. Shen Ru followed the large army on horseback and walked in the desert for a whole morning.

When the sun was high in the sky, the yellow sand was getting hotter, and the destination was reached.

"It took our people a long time to locate this place. If we dig down from here, we should be able to reach the stone castle."

"City Lord, since you have determined the entrance of the cave, why don't you dig it down?"

The bearded city lord's eyes flashed, and he stroked his beard and said: "My dear nephew, it's not that we don't dig it down, it's just that we are really stumped!"

While talking, the city lord ordered people to clear the sand from the entrance of the cave.

"There is a mechanism at the entrance, and it is written in your calligraphy. However, we have looked through the ancient books and cannot determine what the calligraphy is."

Yan Shaoqing stepped forward to look at it with a puzzled expression, and then said sarcastically: "I'm afraid the person who left the message is someone who can only read half of the big characters. There is not a complete character here."

Shen Ru was shocked, and immediately moved forward to verify his idea.That's half, this is simplified Chinese.

If you wear books, it’s possible for others too!
On the slate is an adaptation of the story of Alibaba and the Forty Thieves. However, the four boxes are empty, which is obviously the password to open the slate.

"Should we pick out four words from the words below and embed them?"

Shen Ru asked pretending not to know, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Someone came to this world more than 100 years before her and became a robber.

Forty thieves, hey, it’s true!

"Can you understand?" Yan Shaoqing asked in surprise.

"A little bit." Shen Ru said modestly.

"The stone slab and the buckle below are so tight that we can't pry it off. It's obvious that these four frames are going to be filled here."

The city lord also said: "My dear nephew, if you don't understand what is written here, then I really don't know who to look for!"

"Shen Ru, are you sure?"

Yan Shaoqing looked at Shen Ru. Shen Ru seemed to have some clues here.

"What can she know? Isn't she one of your guards?"

Kasili said angrily: "Yan Shaoqing, if you are of no use, go back quickly!"

"I have tried it several times. There are 24 characters in this column. Once they are embedded incorrectly, the place will vibrate, and stone pillars will protrude from the remaining three holes, blocking them directly."

The city lord didn't stop Kasili, he just looked at Yan Shaoqing and said.

The corner of Shen Ru's mouth twitched. She didn't know what the origin of the fellow who came before her was, and how he could set up such a clever trap.

"I just knew it. It wouldn't be possible without me!"

Shen Ru said, without even looking at Kasili, he quickly pushed the word block and inserted the Sesame Open Door into it.

Then, the ground beneath his feet shook.

"I just said she couldn't do anything and was just messing around in a self-righteous way..."

Before Kasili could finish her mocking words, the entrance of the cave opened with a roar, and the yellow sand nearby flowed into the entrance of the cave quickly, but everyone also saw a stone staircase going down.

"Well, I just can't do anything!" Shen Ru said coolly, "But God help me!"

"Hahahaha, my dear nephew, you are still a great friend. Kasili, don't allow you to talk nonsense again and offend this distinguished guest. Even if you are my daughter, I will not favor you!"

The city lord laughed loudly, with a look of surprise on his face, and then pretended to be displeased and scolded Kasili.

"Shen Ru, you are really here. I brought you here this time, and I brought you right!"

Yan Shaoqing was so surprised that he looked at Shen Ru with admiration!
"Miss Shen is a blessing from heaven. Not only is she beautiful and kind-hearted, she is also highly skilled in martial arts."

"That's right, young master, taking Miss Shen with you on this trip is the right thing for you to do."

Yan Shaoqing's accompanying guards immediately praised Shen Tulai in various ways.

Kasili's face turned red with anger, and she looked at Shen Ru who was being held by everyone, with malicious eyes.

The city lord laughed and invited Yan Shaoqing to go down to the cave together, and no one cared about Kasili's mood.

It's not that Shen Ru didn't see Kasili's jealous expression, but who was she afraid of?

The group of people went down the steps one by one and soon arrived inside the stone city.

In the empty hall, Shen Ru looked up and saw why there was a stone staircase leading to the top?

Did the forty thieves have a premonition that one day, this stone castle would sink into the quicksand?
