Chapter 374: Breakthrough
After carefully checking the inside and outside of the dark grid, Ruan Jiujiu also reached out and pressed it one by one in every corner inside, but found nothing.
It seems that this secret compartment is only for the purpose of placing this box, and there are no other clues hidden at all, and if you want to know other secrets, there is no second way except to open the box.
Ning Han and the others searched the entire ancestral hall carefully, but they didn't find any clues, and finally they all focused their eyes on the mysterious ink box.
Ruan Jiujiu looked at the box, frowned and muttered: "The things in it can subvert the world?" Such a small box, this legend sounds unbelievable and feels very unreliable. ”
Murong nodded in agreement.
Ruan Jiujiu looked at Bei Mingxuan, who was unresponsive, and said, "This thing should be left to you by Ning Hou, do you have any clues?"
Bei Mingxuan looked at her, but said, "Maybe it's not like that." ”
"What do you say?" Ruan Jiujiu and the others all looked at Bei Mingxuan.
"The shelf in the dark palace of the Taimiao Temple in Beiyue, as soon as the box was put away, the dark palace collapsed. Bei Mingxuan said lightly, "Maybe that shelf was also left by Ning Hou." ”
When Ruan Jiujiu heard this, his heart suddenly burst into his mind, and he nodded: "Yes, if you don't say it, I will forget about it." At that time, the Emperor of Beiyue said that he saw it in the codex of the former emperor of Beiyue, and the shelf was used to open the box, but as soon as the box was released, the dark palace collapsed, perhaps this was a conspiracy, and it was a false information that Ning Hou deliberately put to the former emperor of Beiyue. Maybe he knew that the Beiyue Emperor knew about the existence of this box, and he was afraid that he would open it, so just in case, if the Beiyue Emperor got the box, as long as he tried according to the method recorded in the codex, the dark palace would collapse, and the Beiyue Emperor would not only not get the contents of the box, but also might die in it. ”
Ruan Jiujiu said, only thinking that Ning Hou was really wise and close to the demon, and he could calculate so long-term.
She sighed and said, "It's really possible that this is the case, this Ning Hou is a very far-sighted person, and it is very likely that he will leave such a trick." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone.
Ning Han and Ning Shuang didn't know about the Taimiao Dark Palace at all, so he was at a loss, and Murong didn't see it with his own eyes, but Ning Duan saw it, and also heard what the Beiyue Emperor said at that time, so he said: "I went in to investigate afterwards, and the Dark Palace only collapsed because of that shelf, and it was also a mechanism, and it just so happened that this box was the key to opening the mechanism." ”
Ruan Jiujiu listened, and nodded quietly.
Her gaze fell on the box again, and said, "Could it be that Marquis Ning didn't leave this box to His Highness, and the legends about it are just rumors?"
Murong said: "If it is a false rumor, why did Ning Hou go to such great lengths to hide such a box here?"
Ruan Jiujiu twisted his eyebrows and said, "Yes, it feels so contradictory." She looked at the box depressedly, "What the hell could be in there?"
Bei Mingxuan asked Ning Dui, "How is that person's condition?"
When Ruan Jiujiu heard this, he also thought of it at once, and also asked, "Yes, what about the person in the know?"
Ning Duan said: "He is also in Ning Hou's Mansion now. He had been badly injured and unconscious, but now he had recovered a little. ”
Ruan Jiujiu nodded and said, "He's a breakthrough, maybe he knows something." ”
Bei Mingxuan said: "Bring him here." ”
When Ning Duan heard this, he turned around and left.
A few people were waiting in the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall had already been seen everywhere, so there was nothing to see anymore, Ruan Jiujiu was holding the mysterious box to study, and Ning Shuang also came over to see.
"Princess, the material of this box seems to be a strange stone produced in a deserted city, the locals call it black stone, it is very hard, there are many mountains outside the city, but it is useless, and no one goes to mine. Ning Shuang looked at the box and said suddenly.
Ruan Jiujiu originally thought that this material was very strange, she had never seen it, and she couldn't imagine that it was actually an ore, or it came from the deserted city.
It seems that the history of this box is not long, it was created by Ning Hou, so there should be a way to open it.
She was thinking when she heard footsteps, it was Ning Dusk who had returned.
Behind Ning Dusk, there were two Ning Wei supporting an old man, the old man had his head hanging down and could walk on his own, but his steps were vague, panting like an ox, and he seemed to be extremely tired.
Ruan Jiujiu walked over, took out a silver needle, and applied a few needles to the old man's body with a very fast technique.
Bei Mingxuan and Murong who were present were not surprised, this girl's acupuncture was amazing, which could be described as a stunt, but Ning Duan and the others were a little surprised, because after Ruan Jiujiu received the needle, the old man suddenly didn't breathe much, and he obviously looked better.
Ning Shuang's eyes sparkled, it turned out that her own princess was not only good, but also so powerful, this hand acupuncture, she felt amazing.
Ning Duan was also shocked, and so was Ning Han.
Ruan Jiujiu's expression was faint, he just looked at the old man with interest, and asked, "How do you feel now?"
The old man was lying on the bed before, and suddenly he was set up and forced to be dragged here, and he felt that he was about to die, but suddenly, he felt that most of the feeling of weakness in his body disappeared, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot.
Hearing Ruan Jiujiu ask, he subconsciously nodded and said, "It's much better, thank you girl." ”
"You don't have to thank me, I have something I want to ask you. Ruan Jiujiu asked Ning Shuang to bring the box over and show it to the old man, "Do you know this?"
The old man didn't figure out what kind of environment he was in at this time, and he didn't notice the others for a while, only Ruan Jiujiu.
Ruan Jiujiu handed the box forward, and as soon as the old man's eyes touched, his face changed.
Ruan Jiujiu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Have you seen it?"
The old man hurriedly shook his head again and took a step back, but he was originally supported by someone, and he couldn't retreat at this time.
"You, you?!"
Ruan Jiujiu looked at his expression and felt that there was a play, so he slightly hooked his lips and said, "What's the matter?"
The old man glared at Ruan Jiujiu with a strange expression, as if he was extremely uneasy, and his hands were trembling.
Seeing this, Bei Mingxuan walked over and said in a low voice, "Stay away from him." ”
Ruan Jiujiu said: "It's okay, I just made him feel better, he doesn't have the ability to attack anyone now." ”
Bei Mingxuan nodded, but still protected her by his side.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
The two were still talking, and suddenly the old man screamed, Ruan Jiujiu looked over and saw that the old man was staring at Bei Mingxuan, his eyes were excited and complicated.
Her heart moved, and she asked directly, "Do you know him?"
"Your Majesty!" the old man was so excited that he was about to collapse to the ground, but there was someone holding him beside him, he couldn't fall down at all, he stared at Bei Mingxuan, his expression was excited, shocked, frightened, complicated, "No, no, you're not!"
"What is he?" Ruan Jiujiu took a step forward and asked coldly.
The old man seemed to be unable to hear, but shook his head like crazy, and said to himself: "Your Majesty is dead, he is dead, I am also dead, yes, I am dead, I must be dead!"
"You're not dead!" Ruan Jiujiu looked at him coldly, and said in a quiet voice, "Your Majesty is dead, but he still has descendants, have you forgotten?" Back then, you were also an insider, you watched Ning Hou save your Majesty's descendants and send them to Tiansheng, he is now grown up, have you forgotten?"
The old man listened to Ruan Jiujiu's words, his body trembled even more, and finally, he raised his head with difficulty, his gaze slowly moved from Ruan Jiujiu's face to Bei Xuanxuan's body, and immediately drooped down, as if he was extremely afraid.
Ruan Jiujiu said again: "You betrayed Ning Hou, betrayed your Majesty, aren't you afraid of going down to hell and being questioned by your Majesty and Ning Hou?"
"I, I shouldn't be, but I'm afraid, Your Majesty is dead, they have divided everything, there are so many of them, how can Ning Hou resist, he, he actually sent the young master to Tiansheng, he wants to hide from the world, how can this work, he will be discovered, they will definitely come to kill me, I just don't want to die, I just want to live!" The old man said in the end, he had already cried bitterly, his voice was afraid and regretful.
When Ruan Jiujiu heard this, he had completely understood.
This old man was not only an insider, but also a henchman of Ning Hou, or a henchman of the ancestor of the Northern Ming Xuan, after the death of the master, Ning Hou did not give up, and he must protect the young master, he felt scared, he fled, but he did not expect that in the end he would be found by the Emperor of Beiyue, and decades later, he betrayed his master again, so he was so afraid.
Ruan Jiujiu looked at Bei Mingxuan, probably, His Majesty was more similar to Bei Mingxuan, so it would stimulate him.
And the mysterious box, the old man obviously knew about it.
It seems that this old man may really be a breakthrough.
The old man was still muttering, his body was still shaking, and his mind seemed to be stimulated.
Ruan Jiujiu was helpless, took out the silver needle again, and stabbed it a few times, the old man stopped trembling, and stopped talking nonsense, but his body weakened and fainted.
"Let him rest first, and when he wakes up again, he shouldn't be so excited and can't help himself, and then we can look for clues in him." ”
Everyone had no opinion, Ning Duan waved his hand, and the two Ning Wei helped the old man down.
Ruan Jiujiu raised his eyes and looked around, and said helplessly: "There is nothing to see in this ancestral hall, let's go." ”
There were really no clues to be found in the ancestral hall, so several people left together.
In the next time, Ruan Jiujiu proposed to go around the deserted city, and Bei Mingxuan naturally relied on her, and a few people left the Ninghou Mansion again, and went around in the four directions of the southeast, northwest, and northwest of the city.
