At the beginning of Niujia Village, my sister-in-law and I depended on each other.

Chapter 5 This is something for scholars

At night, shortly after the meal, the village fell silent, except for the occasional weak barking.

Today's time is different from that of a thousand years ago. No matter in the city or in the village, there is no activity after dinner except for the happy life on the kang. Of course, the nobles and nobles in Lin'an City must continue to sing and dance and have fun.

After Chen Jin'er and Silly Gu were asleep next door, Niu Dingtian quietly put on the gray robe that he had prepared a long time ago, and pulled out a big piece to wrap tightly around his head and face. Niu Dingtian was not stupid enough to give up in this ice and snow. Put on a set of jet-black night clothes by yourself.

That is undoubtedly telling others:
Haha
There's someone here!

There's someone here!

After finishing, he stuffed a dagger into his waist to defend himself. Niu Dingtian tiptoed out and cautiously headed towards the village.

Niu Dingtian has never ignored the breathing method in his mind. Although he does not understand the so-called meridians and acupuncture points, as long as he uses his breath and mind to circulate silently every day, he will definitely benefit a lot, especially after studying in the past two years. The effect is particularly significant.

Now, although he has the body of a child, his figure is extremely light and flexible. If he runs, he will not lose the speed of an adult. Otherwise, this guy would not dare to go out quietly in the middle of the night.

After all, in this era, handsome children like him are still very popular among the princes and nobles who are fond of child molestation. If it falls into the hands of Yabozi, it will be sold at a good price.

When he arrived at the tavern, Niu Dingtian walked directly to the window on the side of the house, took out his dagger, inserted it into the crack of the window, found the window latch, found the fulcrum, used his skill and force, and opened the side window. .

The smooth and free movements back and forth are completely different from ordinary craftsmanship, which shows that this job has been practiced a lot in the past life or in this life.

Lift the window, turn over inside, and then close the window.

With the moonlight shining in through the window, we could see that the dust on the tables and chairs was thickly accumulated. It was obvious that no one had set foot here for a long time.

"If nothing else happens, my sister's father may have died in the secret room here," Niu Dingtian thought to himself, and then looked for him in the kitchen.

As soon as the door curtain was opened, a smell of rancidity came from inside. When I stepped in, I saw dust and cobwebs everywhere. The leftover rice in the pot was already moldy, and the rancid smell spread out from here.

Looking at the inner hall separated by a wall, there is only a small bed with a tattered mat and a tattered quilt.

When Niu Dingtian saw this, he thought of the "silly girl" and felt all sorts of things in his heart. No wonder even Huang Rong couldn't help but feel desolate when she saw her more than ten years later.

Putting aside my thoughts, I entered the kitchen and found the cupboard again. As soon as I opened it, I felt the smell of dust and blowing fire. In the dim light, I saw seven or eight tattered blue and white bowls on the cupboard, next to the bowl in the bowl. More than a dozen chickens and bugs died.

I took out the blue and white bowls on the cabinet one by one. When I saw the last bowl on the far left with a thick layer of rust, I thought: This is it.

Niu Dingtian remembered that this rusty bowl was the entrance switch to the secret room. It was here that Huang Rong accidentally discovered the entrance to the secret room more than ten years later.

So he twisted it hard from left to right, and with a "click" sound, the cabinet wall parted to both sides, revealing a dark hole.

A stench instantly rushed out of the cave, making people nauseous.

Niu Dingtian stood at the entrance of the cave. After the smell dissipated for a while, he lit a handful of firewood and smoked it inside for a while. After the smell was almost gone, he endured the discomfort and ducked in with a fire stick.

It was vaguely visible that the secret room was small and dirty. There were a set of dead skeletons neatly placed on the ground, lying on their backs, and their clothes were also somewhat rotten.

I saw something bulging at the ribs of the vest, so I poked it with some firewood branches on the ground. After the dust dispersed, a piece of iron bagua was revealed, and I saw that the leg bones were also broken. After confirming that it was correct, Niu Dingtian put away the Iron Bagua and took out the black cloth he brought with him to wrap the skeleton.

In the original work, Qu Lingfeng is the eldest disciple of Wujue Middle East Xiehuang Medicine Master, and is also the person with the highest martial arts, nicknamed "Water Splitting Air Palm".

Because Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng stole the "Nine Yin Manual" and were implicated with other disciples, their leg bones were broken by Huang Yaoshi and expelled from Peach Blossom Island. After that, they stayed in Niujia Village Tavern and became Famous song three.

Later, because he wanted to steal the gold and silver treasures of literature and painting and present them to his master, he sneaked into the palace many times and accidentally stole the scroll where the "Mu Mu's Suicide Note" was hidden. Yanming chased him to the hotel secret room, and the two sides fought to death. The skeleton was discovered by Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others many years later.

And now the sister "Si Gu" whom Niu Dingtian recognizes is Qu Lingfeng's daughter. The reason why he confirmed the leg bones was because he was afraid of accidents and to prevent his sister from marrying the wrong father in the future.

Going further inside, there is a skeleton leaning on a large iron box in the corner of the east secret room. A long sharp knife passed between the ribs of the skeleton and was inserted into the lid of the iron box.

Niu Dingtian reached out and pulled out the sharp knife. When he got close to the fire, he saw the word "qu" engraved on the blade.

I looked down and saw something shining at the foot of the iron box. When I picked it up, I saw it was a gold plaque inlaid with agate, with a line of words engraved on the back: "Shi Yanming, a martial arts master, is given the imperial weapon to the Chungju Defense Envoy."

Niu Dingtian glanced at it, curled his lips, and stuffed it into his arms.

Immediately afterwards, he tore apart the bones and opened the box. He rummaged through the layers inside and out but couldn't find what he wanted, just some jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting scrolls.

That's right, Niu Dingtian's first purpose of this trip was the skeleton, and the other was to see if he could find some martial arts secrets.

He didn't believe that a master of martial arts wouldn't leave his own survival skills in his secret room. Even if there was a slight possibility, it was worth a try.

As for the box of treasures, I didn't have anywhere to store them when I moved them back. I was afraid of scaring Chen Jin'er, so I just packed some as pocket money when I left. Whenever I needed them again, I would just come and get them.

Unwilling to give up, Niu Xiucai thought for a moment and then used the sharp knife to tap the ground and wall little by little without missing a single spot.

After working to no avail for nearly half an hour, Niu Dingtian couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and sat on the ground regardless of the dust.

After a long time, Niu Dingtian stood up and was about to pick up the bones and return.

suddenly!

He suddenly turned around and stared at the box, then moved over and pushed it away hard, holding the handle of the knife and gently tapping the ground:
"Boom..."

It is indeed hollow, Niu Dingtian thought. Then insert the tip of the knife along the cracks of the bricks and pry the floor tiles bit by bit.

After lifting the floor tiles, I saw a square stone pit with three books inside, which read "Bibo Palm Technique", "Jade Xiao Sword Technique" and "Splitting the Sky Palm" respectively.

Niu Dingtian suppressed his surprise and put it in his arms before he could take a closer look. Then he stood up and grabbed a handful of golden beans to leave.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he paused again, turned around, picked up the scrolls in the box, held them in his arms, held the sharp knife, and walked out of the secret room without looking back.
after all
This is something for readers.
