My domineering ex-husband is living off his wife in ancient times.

Chapter 68 Walking with your butt

Si Shaoheng was speechless.

He even felt a little ashamed and didn't want to watch Cheng Ruoan fool Shaoyang.

But there was nothing he could do; the stun gun was in his hands.

Cheng Ruoan's tactics were the same as when he fooled Si Silang, but Shao Yang wasn't so easily fooled.

He clearly felt the "divine punishment" he received; the feeling of being struck by lightning spread from a point on his back and throughout his entire body.

Imagine being struck by lightning. It should be a beam of light striking the entire person, and every part of the body should feel a tingling and twitching sensation at the same time.

Cheng Ruoan's ability to conjure objects out of thin air is likely just a trick used in theatrical troupes, not some kind of supernatural power.

So they still refused to tell him.

That's it.

This must be the extraordinary encounter Si Shaoheng mentioned the year he broke his leg.

Si Shaoheng said that he fell down the mountain and climbed into the cave, where he saw the incorruptible body of an old Taoist priest.

If you help bury the old Taoist priest, you can take away the rare martial arts technique he left behind—the Void Clarity Technique.

When Si Shaoheng returned from Panlong Village for the first time, he showed him the Kongming Manual and asked him to help him determine whether the technique was beneficial to his health.

He read a few pages.

The exercise method is a cultivation technique for internal energy; it is a very good secret.

And for some reason, he felt inexplicably excited, and this book must not be known to anyone else.

He advised Si Shaoheng to put it away and practice it properly. At the same time, he pressed Si Shaoheng about the cave, the old Taoist priest, and his experience that day. But Si Shaoheng said that once things settled down, he could practice the Kongming Jue with him and asked him not to ask too many questions or make things difficult for him.

Upon closer reflection, Shao Yang felt that the reason for the couple's mysterious behavior might stem from Si Shaoheng's extraordinary encounter.

I didn't notice it before because I lived a peaceful and stable life in the village and didn't need to.

Now embarking on a perilous journey, the two are forced to resort to their "supernatural abilities."

In a short period of time, Shaoyang thought a lot and figured things out clearly.

So he raised his hand and swore: "Shaoheng, Xiaoan, don't worry, I swear I will never tell anyone about anything you've done in my life, or else I will be separated from my wife forever."

hiss.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ruoan realized that for her brother-in-law, who only recognized her eldest sister and no one else, this oath was exceptionally cruel.

It seems his brother-in-law's mouth is as tight as Si Shilang's, so they can rest a little more at ease.

But when Si Shaoheng led the two to the cave where the second-in-command of Panlong Village was refining pills, Cheng Ruoan still didn't let her brother-in-law go in with her. She only told him to guard outside the cave while she and Si Shaoheng went in and took away the dozen or so boxes of sleeping powder inside.

The cave is just an ordinary natural cave. The passage is about the height of one person and the width of three or four people. After walking about ten feet, it suddenly opens up and you can see a circular open space.

Si Shaoheng pointed to a stone door on the left wall and said indifferently, "That's the alchemy room of the second leader of Panlong Village. I went in and saw that there was nothing good there. It was very smelly and disgusting. You don't need to be curious."

What he didn't say was that when the three brothers went in, there were piles of children's bones inside.

He was afraid that Cheng Ruoan would feel bad if she heard it.

"Oh, so the sleeping gas is behind this stone gate?" Cheng Ruoan pointed to the stone gate on the right.

Si Shaoheng nodded, "I'll activate the mechanism, you go in and collect the sleeping gas."

Cheng Ruoan tilted her head: "I'm going in, aren't you going in?"

"Hmm, I have a feeling that Panlongzhai's treasures are hidden in this cave. Last time I glimpsed a mechanism above the passageway we came in through. I suspect that the treasures are hidden behind the stone wall of the passageway."

Cheng Ruoan's eyes lit up. "No, wait for me! I'll pack up quickly. Let's go into the tunnel together to look!"

"also."

Last time, Si Dalang and Si Lang came with him, along with many refugees who were looking for their children's remains. So Si Shaoheng saw it, but didn't mention the mechanism.

The reason he sent Cheng Ruoan to collect the sleeping powder was twofold: firstly, it would be useful for breaking through the encirclement, and secondly, the quantity of sleeping powder was enormous, and since there was enough space to store it all, he might as well take it all.

Secondly, he was thinking, what if he really found the treasure vault of Panlong Village?

As soon as the stone door on the right side of the cave opened, Cheng Ruoan used the luminous pearl to illuminate the area and saw that there were indeed neatly stacked wooden boxes inside.

The box was made of the same wooden strips as when she previously purchased bone injury ointment. You could see through the gaps that inside, besides weeds, were some bottles and jars.

Cheng Ruoan was secretly delighted and grinned, "There's so much! If we can't use it all, we can sell it, right?"

“Yes, selling it together with your bone injury ointment and wound medicine shouldn’t arouse suspicion,” Si Shaoheng agreed.

Cheng Ruoan remembered that Dr. Hu had talked to her about this sleeping powder that afternoon, and snapped her fingers: "Dr. Hu said that this sleeping powder has the effect of numbing the human body. I guess it is similar to our modern anesthetics."

I've inquired, and this Great Xia doesn't have any anesthetic powder. I can take this sleeping gas back and mix it to a safe ratio, then I can sell it to clinics as an anesthetic!

It's called a sleeping potion, but it's actually just a very fine powder in a bottle.

Dr. Hu has tried it; the powder is water-soluble, and when the concentration is high enough, it can paralyze muscles when applied to the skin.

However, Cheng Ruoan has not yet tried drinking the sleeping potion to see if it works like an anesthetic. She plans to study this with Dr. Hu later.

Cheng Ruoan touched the cigarette and took it away.

The two returned to the passageway, and sure enough, a short while later, Si Shaoheng found a mechanism on the ceiling of the passageway.

After pressing the button, the sound of mechanical expansion was indeed heard coming from the right side of the passageway.

After a short while, a small door appeared in the stone wall on the right side of the passageway.

It was a square stone door less than half a person's height, big enough for a person to bend down and squeeze through. The door was also just big enough for a solid wooden box to pass through.

Cheng Ruoan rubbed his hands together, chuckling to himself. He couldn't wait to go inside and take a look, but he was also afraid that there might be some kind of traps, snakes, insects, or rats guarding the treasure.

We had no choice but to let Si Shaoheng throw the luminous pearl inside first.

The luminous pearl that was taken from the magistrate of Qingshan County had a very good light. After falling to the ground, it rolled forward a little and then stopped.

Apart from the sound of the luminous pearl rolling down, there was no other noise inside.

The two saw that the areas illuminated by the luminous pearl were glowing with golden light.

"Hey Hey."

"Hey Hey."

The two exchanged a smile. Si Shaoheng forgot all about maintaining his image and said with a smirk, "Give me a mask, I'll go in and take a look."

Cheng Ruoan took out a gauze mask and gave it to him, saying, "Be careful."

Si Shaoheng crawled inside, picked up the luminous pearl, and looked around to make sure everything was safe before telling Cheng Ruoan, "It's safe, come in and put your things away."

Cheng Ruoan looked at her leg, which was in a splint. It wasn't a good idea to squat down and crawl in. What should she do?

She was so anxious that she paced back and forth, scratching her head and cheeks.

Seeing that she hadn't come in for a while, Si Shaoheng remembered that she had a leg problem. He squatted down and looked at her through the hole with a smile: "Don't you love watching Crayon Shin-chan? Don't you know his special move?"

Cheng Ruoan: ?

"Walk with your butt."

Cheng Ruoan: ? ?

“Sit down, use your uninjured leg to push off the ground, and use your hands to support yourself so you can back up and move in.”

Cheng Ruoan: ...
