Chapter 97: The Mysterious Box

Walking through the familiar corridor, the senior sister took Xu Thrush to the warehouse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis was once the place where Xu Thrush spent her childhood, and the huge warehouse was like a Pandora's box, with all kinds of strange things. For example, the dust of the master's past, such as the master's master's charm, such as the master's master's master's gossip mirror.

Once again, Xu Thrush couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The storeroom is now piled up with a lot of miscellaneous things, and the old things are stored in a small room in the back.

"That's it, you can take a look."

Aunt Wei Dao is no longer young, and without the little Taoist priest around her, she seems to have returned to the role of senior sister, rolling up her sleeves and rummaging through a pile of debris, raising a lot of dust.

In the midst of a pile of rummaging debris, there was a faint sound of my sister buzzing, like a bee.

"It's just a box. You know, I don't move much of Master's room, but if it goes on like this, there isn't enough space in the temple, so I sent someone to clean it out and keep it in reserve for the time being. A few days ago, I applied to the government here, and the public area in the middle can be given to us, so that Master's room can be vacant again, and his old man likes this, quietly. ”

Xu Yu listened while shaking the dust with his hand, and finally turned the so-called box out of a pile of miscellaneous items from Wei Daogu.

"Well, you can take it and take a look, I can't open it, if you think it's useless, I'll pile it up in the warehouse."

Xu Yu looked at the box in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't tell what it was made of. It is said to be wood, but it has a metallic sheen; It is said to be iron, but the weight is a little different, and there are even wood and plant lines on it.

The box is not big, and Xu Thrush can hold it with one hand.

Someone outside the door of the warehouse called out the name of Aunt Congwei Dao, she answered, turned her head and patted Xu Dao's shoulder: "I'm busy, you can take this box back and take care of it." ”

After that, Aunt Wei Dao walked out of the warehouse.

The whole warehouse was left with Xu Thrush and this strange box, he pondered hard, and in his memory, the master didn't seem to have such a box, or he had never taken out this box in front of him.

The four openings of the box were covered with brown paper, mottled but firmly glued. Xu Thrush was itchy in his heart, and wanted to tear it off, but after being patient several times, he still stretched out his hand.

Who knew that after tearing it several times, the seemingly tattered paper was firmly stuck to it with the steel plate, and it did not move at all.

Xu Yu wondered, what the hell is this, it is even more effective than modern locks.

Ignoring the rune paper on it, Xu Thrush took advantage of the light outside the window to carefully look at the lines on the box.

The whole box exudes a metallic transparent luster, through the light outside the window, you can see the fine lines on the box, some of them are like the annual rings of trees, layer by layer, a little counting, Xu Thrush couldn't help but gasp, do the head of this box, let alone a thousand years, I really can't count it for a while.

After staring at it for a long time, Xu Thrush's eyes were a little unbearable. He rubbed his temples and wanted to put the box down, but vaguely felt that the rings on the box were like a mark.

A mark that I am not familiar with, but after many contacts, I have deeply remembered it in my head.

Xu Yu rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, the mark seemed to be hidden again.

It must have been a mistake.

It just so happened that Jiang Bai's message came at this time.

"Why did you kid run away all of a sudden!"

Xu Fei shared the news of his investigation with Jiang Bai, and asked him about his progress by the way.

"Oh, the progress on my side is equal to zero, the twins are all discussing and discussing, he-fuck-is all fart, the discussion is headless, just want me to spend a few more days, anyway, no one knows this thing better than them, openly and secretly asked me to donate money to Zhenyunguan, I should listen to Lu Li's words and leave here early."

"Wait," Xu Thrush suddenly noticed, "Before leaving, do you want to cause some trouble for Zhenyun Temple?" ”

Jiang Bai was already a little angry, he was wasted for so many days, not to mention, and he also posted a lot of money, as soon as he heard Xu Yu's attention, he immediately decided to "go with him": "Okay, how to do it?" ”

****

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were bright, the sky near Maoshan was dark and bright, and two sneaky shadows, one fat and one thin, sneaked - touched - to the back door of Zhenyunguan after ten o'clock in the evening.

The mountain breeze at night was so cold that Xu Yin couldn't help but shiver.

"Xu Fatpang, why are you still here so scared."

"Who's scared!"

"Then what are you shivering about?"

"I'm cold!"

"Cut."

The door of Zhenyun Temple is closed after ten o'clock, which is the law they summarized a few days ago. But at the back door, a person will be sent on duty, and the most annoying thing is not the Taoist priest on duty, but the camera that works 24 hours a day.

Rich Taoist temples like this, let alone cameras, are even equipped with fingerprint access control in some places.

"Did you bring anything?" Jiang Bai asked in a low voice.

Xu Yu patted his chest: "Don't worry, leave it to me." ”

The two went their separate ways. Xu Yu got some green incense sticks from Xuanzhenguan, which is a specialty of Xuanzhenguan, and has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. But Xu Yu felt that this thing was comparable to sleeping pills, and a few strokes could make people yawn.

Behind the Xuanzhen Temple is the back mountain path, all of which are stone paths, and the road creaks when walking, especially at night, the light is insufficient, and one may fall down the mountain if you are not careful.

Xu Yin didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, he took a breath, tiptoed around the pebble, and tried to make his footsteps smaller and smaller again, despite this, the huge size determined the size of the voice, and every time he was hearted, he still kicked the pebble in front of him.

With a "snap", the little Taoist priest who had already begun to doze off raised his head and looked forward. Xu Thrush hurriedly stuck to the mountain wall, his heart beating fast.

Just as the little Taoist priest was about to walk behind him, Xu Yu was a little anxious, and cold sweat fell straight down. In the middle of the night, I ran to the back door of the house and sneaked around, saying that I was out for a walk, and no one believed it.

The so-called urgency makes wisdom, Xu Yu pinched the stone in his hand and threw it to the other end.

The little Taoist priest was attracted by the sound on the other end, walked over and looked, but found nothing strange, and returned to the gate.

Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, took out the green incense sticks tremblingly, took out a lighter and lit it.

Smoke continued to drift out from the other side of the mountain wall. Xu Thrush hurriedly put on his mask, waved his eyes quickly with one hand, and let it float in the direction of the gate.

The little Taoist squinted his eyes and sniffed, expecting a long yawn. After standing up and inspecting the side again, he leaned against the door contentedly, and took a nap with his eyes closed.
