If a stone is worth a thousand pieces of gold, what is the gold that is given away on the stone?

"Wait, Senior Sister, I'm a little confused. You said the stones on the ground are more valuable than gold, so why did these people spread them here? Also, although Liu Zhecheng never said it, I'm sure he must have some knowledge of treasure appraisal.

Even he didn't see the value of this stone? And, it's not just him. What on earth was the person who put the gold here thinking? To cover up this stone?"

Seeing Shanshan's obvious disbelief, Yi Xin took out the dagger he was carrying, pulled it out, and threw it straight down.

Shanshan knew that Yixin's dagger was as powerful as a knife; it could cut iron like mud and sever hair with a single blow. Yixin's maternal grandfather was a family of generals, and this dagger had once been a treasure of the royal family on the border.

Logically speaking, not to mention stone, even iron, this dagger would directly penetrate the handle.

But now, when the dagger went down, Shanshan only heard a "ding" sound, and the dagger bounced twice and fell to the ground, leaving only a shallow mark on the stone.

Shan Shan squatted on the ground and looked at the stone: "Is this really a treasure?"

After confirming that the stone was truly indestructible, Shanshan put away his casual attitude and began to observe the environment carefully.

The brain also started to work rapidly.

From what Senior Sister had just said, Shanshan could understand that this secret room wasn't built a hundred years ago, but had existed much earlier. Liu Zhecheng had previously said that the high-ranking official had come here specifically to find talented people to build this house, not to hide treasure, but to find it.

No one knows what happened next, but one thing is certain: in their eyes, gold was more important than this stone. In fact, not only them, but even Liu Zhecheng didn't notice the problem with the stone slab.

Shanshan then delved deeper into the matter. This secret room was definitely not built to protect these stone slabs. According to her senior sister, although these stone slabs were precious, at least at that time, they could still be seen by the royal family, so there was no need to build a secret room specifically to hide them.

The only explanation is, what kind of precious thing must be protected by this stone slab?

Did the high-ranking official take the treasure away with him?

Thinking of this, Shanshan began to look at this place carefully with a learning attitude, but she didn't expect that this look would actually make her see a clue.

Her glittering gaze wandered through the caverns, and she suddenly discovered a hidden meaning in the arrangement of the stone slabs on the ground. She recalled her studies of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams: the seemingly chaotic distribution of the stone slabs faintly corresponded to the directions in the Eight Trigrams.

"Senior Sister, look at the arrangement of these stone slabs. Could it be related to the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams?" Shanshan said excitedly.

Yi Xin also observed it carefully and nodded, "It does bear some resemblance. If that's the case, there might be some hidden mechanism here."

Shanshan began to recall the knowledge of the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams in her mind, analyzing the layout of the stone slabs before her. She discovered that, with the center of the cave as the Tai Chi point, the surrounding stone slabs corresponded to the Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui of the Eight Trigrams.

"Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Zhen represents thunder, and Xun represents wind..." Shanshan muttered softly, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Senior Sister, I think I understand! Among the eight trigrams, the stone slab corresponding to Qian is a little strange."

The two of them arrived in front of the stone slab in the Qian position. Shanshan squatted down and carefully examined the edge of the stone slab, discovering a very thin crack. She reached out and pushed hard on the stone slab, but it didn't budge at all.

"It seems not that simple." Yi Xin said.

Shanshan pondered further, suddenly remembering the interplay between the Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams. "In the Five Elements, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates metal. Qian is metal in the Five Elements. Could it be related to metal?"

She thought of the gold she had seen carried away earlier. Could it be that the gold was related to the mechanism? She stood up and searched the cave for clues related to metal.

Soon, she discovered a small metal groove on the wall of the cave, the shape of which was somewhat similar to the gold bar she had seen before. She quickly searched the space and found a gold bar. However, just as she was about to put it in, her hand suddenly stopped.

Yi Xin looked at Shan Shan in confusion: "What's wrong?"

That Shanshan shook his head: "I have a bad feeling. I always feel that after opening it, it will be something we can't afford."

Yi Xin took the words very seriously. You know, Shan Shan relies on her intuition to travel around the world. Now that she has the talent for mystical arts, this intuition cannot be underestimated.

"Take out the mirror and find my uncle-master!"

Shanshan's eyes lit up. She never fought alone, the entire Medicine King Valley had always been behind her!

Shanshan took out the space-time mirror and went straight to Xuantian.

After Xuantian listened to what Shanshan said, he got an ambiguous answer when he divined the good or bad luck, but this also showed that Shanshan's intuition was correct.

If there is a treasure inside, the divination should be good luck.

"Wait a moment, I'll go find your great uncle, the master of divination. He has done a lot of research on this."

The two nodded and waited there. However, Haohao woke up at this time. Shanshan and Yixin returned to the space, changed Haohao's diaper, and then fed him milk powder. After drinking it, Haohao fell asleep again not long after.

This time, I can sleep well until the next morning.

They also have enough time to wait for the secret to be revealed.

If possible, Shanshan must explore the secrets inside clearly. If it is gold, silver or something like that, to be honest, she doesn't care much and can just hand it over.

She had no habit of hiding treasures and admiring them secretly. Besides, she had embezzled a large number of treasures, and in the end they would have to be left here to gather dust.

She had never thought of putting these into the space, because in her opinion, nothing is without a trace. What if one day, someone comes with a treasure map to look for something, Liu Zhecheng knows what it looked like before. Now that the things in it are gone, how can she explain it?

Because these things exposed her space, she was losing the big picture for the small.

Besides, those things can't be spent at all. It's not like she doesn't know how to make money. Why should she spend so much effort on these things?

It's not like Shanshan has any big ambitions.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that there are treasures inside. If it is dangerous, then she must understand it clearly. This is her home. It would be strange if she could sleep peacefully if she sleeps in danger every day.
