As soon as these words were spoken, Nan Guan rubbed his chin and muttered: "If I find the key to the lower stone door, I really want to go in and have a look. Otherwise, I, the patriarch, will always have regrets."

Hearing Nan Guan's words, Elder Ma from the Jade Clan next to him smiled bitterly and said: "Clan Chief, why did you bring up the 'Pan Dragon Key' again? That thing has been missing for decades, how can there be a chance to find it back?

"

"Hahaha, that's true." At this moment, Nan Guan smiled awkwardly, and his wife said: "Look, my child and I were saved this time thanks to a sharp-billed mountain ray, that's it."

Mrs. Nan said and waved to the mountain ray not far away: "Come here, come here."

"Chichichiji——" The Jian-billed Mountain Turtle liked Mrs. Nan very much, and immediately ran forward like a smoke. When Nan Guan saw it, he immediately widened his eyes: "Eh, a living Mountain Turtle?!"

Hearing the clan leader's surprised shout, several elders immediately gathered around him: "Where is it? Let me take a look."

"Everyone, I found this mountain turtle in an abandoned jade mine on a mountain in the north. There are also a few other things." Guan Heng took out a few bamboo slips and jade slips and handed them to Nan Guan, and said:

"That place is called 'Xuanyong Mountain'."

"Xuanyong Mountain?!" Nan Guan and several elders were shocked when they heard this. One of the elders said: "Decades ago, a generation of clan leaders did lead people to that place, saying they were looking for ancient times.

Something left over from our clan.”

"That's right, I've heard about this too." An elder from the side, Xujibai, also said: "The clan leader at that time left quickly and returned quickly, and the people who accompanied him died and were injured, not just for some reason.

, and he himself passed away more than a month later, and the reason is unknown."

"By the way, I heard that the clan leader once had a small mountain turtle with him. It only had the orange realm. Could it be it?"

After listening to Elder Bai's words, the Jianzui Mountain Snake was at a loss. Because it was so long ago, it really couldn't remember the specific situation, but its hometown is Praying Mountain, which is definitely true. Guan Heng said: "There is a bamboo slip

The words engraved on it are ancient characters, and you will know the reason at a glance."

"Well..." Nan Guan and several elders were all blushing, and he smiled horribly: "Actually, very few people in our clan are literate, hehe, so it's impossible for us to understand."

"I see, but it doesn't matter. Ruotao and I both know each other. Come on, let me tell you now."

Guan Heng picked up the bamboo slip and read it aloud. The ancient text pattern carved on the surface of the bamboo slip roughly means: During the jade mining in Xuanyong Mountain, the Jade Tribe of Guoguoshan buried the jade slips recording important information here. This is

The mountain is home to a rare and top-quality jade mine. During the millennium without mining, many derivatives that gathered the aura of demon spirits were born, collectively known as "jade demon spirits".

When the Jade Demon Spirit was not yet deserted in Xuanyong Mountain, dozens of monsters that controlled red demonic energy or even black energy appeared. However, their existence finally made the evil people covet them, thus causing unexpected disasters.

.

As for the catastrophe that befell the jade demon, there is not much recorded on this bamboo slip. It is only vaguely mentioned that there are more detailed contents in the jade slip. Then there is the content mentioned on the jade slip. I don’t know when.

Starting from the month of He, the people of the Yuguoshanyu tribe were mining jade here, but they were attacked by unknown people and were forced to leave.

The people of the Jade Tribe hurriedly transported most of the collected jade away, but buried some of the best "jade essence" and "jade fetus" here, and there was also something carved from the jade essence stone.

Buried.

There were originally two objects carved from jade stone, both with the same texture and appearance. They were called "Panlong Keys".

In order to prevent these precious things from being taken away, the people who dug and mined even left a domestic monster called the "mountain hawk" to guard it.

Tianlin listened quietly beside her, and couldn't help but whisper: "Speaking of which, the mountain hawk is really pitiful. It trapped itself in this small cave for countless people just because of its master's order."

years."

"Yes, when I first read the contents on the bamboo slips, I thought it had been trapped in Xuanyong Mountain for hundreds of years. In fact, it was not that long, but it was not too short."

When Guan Heng said this, he also patted the forehead of the mountain turtle next to him: "The bamboo slips say that when the mining people left, the mountain turtle was just a small monster with a light orange aura. Now it has evolved to the realm of red monster aura.

It can be seen that time flies by and is gone forever.”

"So, there is no doubt that this mountain ray was raised by the previous clan leader." Nan Guan looked at the bamboo slips and jade slips that Guan Heng had just handed to him. In addition, there was also the one with long round ends and a slightly thinner middle with carvings on it.

A jade vessel with a whole dragon in it.

Guan Heng scratched his head and said: "At first I thought this thing was a jade pestle for pounding medicine, but later I made it into a drumstick, hahaha, luckily it wasn't broken."

"Well, when our clan's treasure house for storing important items was built, the clan leader at that time did say that two identical keys could open the lower treasure house."

Nan Guan said: "I think after the key that our clan kept was lost decades ago, the clan leader at that time went to Xuanyong Mountain to find another one. However, he encountered an inexplicable attack. In order to protect the key, he buried it in

He went into the abandoned mine pit and asked the mountain turtle to stay and guard it."

"That's right." Guan Heng slightly chinned: "This analysis makes sense. I think the patriarch was attacked by enemies when he returned, so he died suddenly not long after he came back."

"Guan Heng, thanks to you for bringing back the mountain turtle, the jade slips, and the key, our Jade Clan's treasure house can now be opened again." Nan Guan said sincerely at this time: "In addition, you once saved my wife and children.

, I must repay these two great favors."

"Clan leader." The elders next to them bit their ears, and then they all came over and said, "Brother Guan and his companions are too kind to our clan. I have a small suggestion, and I hope the clan leader will listen to it."

After hearing this, Nan Guan immediately said, "Everyone, it doesn't matter if you just say it."

"That's it. We would like to ask the clan leader to take the key and open the stone door at the lower level of the treasure house, so that several benefactors can go in and choose the things they like as a gift in return."

After hearing what the elders said, Nan Guan immediately slapped his thigh: "Okay, that's what I had in mind. Elders, let's go somewhere."

Not allowing Guan Heng and the others to refuse, Nan Guan, several elders, and even Mrs. Nan insisted on this. Tian Lin tugged at Guan Heng's sleeves and whispered in his ear: "Brother Guan, you

Just agree, it would be rude to refuse."

"Okay, everyone, we will be disrespectful." After Guan Heng said this, the Nanguan clan chief looked happy, and he immediately shouted: "Madam, you quickly go to the kitchen to prepare meals. I will invite some benefactors and elders.
