Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mysterious Sandalwood Box
Hearing Lin Zhennan say these words, Chen Feng suddenly felt that his three views were about to be reset!
He was shocked inexplicably.
Moreover, he was full of excitement in his heart!
Lin Zhennan said these words, as if to tell him that the hope that his mother is still alive is very great!
Just imagine, a person can look the same for more than ten years... If you count the five or six years that you gave birth to and raised yourself later, that is, your face will not change for more than 20 years, how can you be killed by a cliff?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng asked, "Haven't you asked your mother, why is this the case?" ”
However, Lin Zhennan's answer turned Chen Feng's heart, which was full of hope, into loss.
"No, everything I have is given by my mother, I only need to obey all the orders of my mother, and I don't dare to speculate. I have never mentioned this matter to outsiders, and I am afraid that my daughter does not know this. In this regard, Lin Zhennan is secretive.
"Maybe in the future, when the young master grows strong enough, everything will be known."
The corners of Chen Feng's mouth twitched, why didn't you tell me that when I learned the Divine Palm, I would be able to go to heaven?
Lin Zhennan didn't explain much, but continued, "I don't know young master, do you believe in fate? ”
Chen Feng shook his head.
How can fate be reliable?
Thinking about his life over the years, there are not a thousand but two thousand deaths at his hands...... If it was all because of fate, then he had lived all these years like clocking in at work, running around the world to collect people.
Isn't it too tiring?
"I knew that people like the young master would not believe in fate. When the housewife left Zhonghai and went to Beijing, she also said that she didn't believe in fate. But...... She told me to stay here, saying you'd find it and take what she had left behind. ”
Chen Feng chuckled in his heart, "Mother, what did she leave here?" ”
"This is it." Lin Zhennan said and handed over the rosewood box on the table.
"Open it and take a look." Chen Feng did not reach out to pick it up, but said eagerly.
He could see at a glance that this kind of box was not an ordinary box, but a Karakuri box, the kind of box with a mechanism, and if it was opened without permission, it was very likely to destroy the contents inside.
Hearing him say this, Lin Zhennan was a little embarrassed.
"Young master, the master mother said that only you can open this box."
Chen Feng twitched, took the box in his hand, reached out and touched it a few times, but found that there was no switch. I looked back and forth a few times left and right, and I could see that I was a little tired.
At the bottom of the box, there is an oval-shaped shallow groove.
"This shape looks familiar, huh?" Chen Feng muttered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he reached out and pressed it on his chest, with a pendant hanging around his neck.
When I went to Beijing two days ago, that Zhao Qingcang always wanted this pendant.
"Could it be that he wants this thing and wants to open this box? It's unlikely, if Zhao Qingcang really wants to open this box, shouldn't he run to Zhonghai to grab it? ”
Chen Feng shook his head, threw these distracting thoughts out of his head, and lowered his head to take off the pendant.
"Click."
Putting it on the shallow trough, I only heard a click, and the jade pendant was embedded in it, and it fit just right.
Chen Feng's heart was shocked, his eyes stared at the box motionless, wondering what would happen next.
Chen Feng looked at the box without blinking for a moment, for fear of missing any detail.
Lin Zhennan's words made Chen Feng feel suspicious. He even heard the idea that his mother might still be alive in this world.
This may be the only clue that my mother left for herself! Maybe you can follow it and find your mother, it's not impossible! Chen Feng thought stupidly.
Although, twenty years ago, he saw his mother jump from the hill of the Chen family's ancestral house, Chen Feng still had the last trace of fantasy in his heart.
Especially now, after hearing Lin Zhennan say these words, the hope in Chen Feng's heart is like a spark falling in the withered yellow field, burning more and more!
With a crisp "click", the rosewood box trembled slightly, and then more clicks sounded as if there were gears turning inside.
Ren is Chen Feng is well-informed, but he is also sluggish for a while. In the past, when he was training in the dark, he also did a lot of research on things like mechanisms, after all, he also needed to open some lockboxes and the like.
It's just that he'd never seen such a small Karakuri box before.
Soon, the noise in the box stopped, and the lid snapped open a crack.
At this moment, Chen Feng, who was originally very anxious, saw that the box could be opened, but his hand was not stretched out for a long time.
His heart throbbed.
'What could be in this?' Can you find clues about your mother? ’
He was full of hope.
However, I am also afraid of disappointment.
Eventually, he opened the box.
Lin Zhennan also stepped forward.
Inside the box, there is a green jade pendant.
"How does this jade pendant look exactly the same as the jade pendant I wear?" Chen Feng wondered.
Lin Zhennan also glanced at it with confusion, and then compared, "It seems that it is really exactly the same, quickly take that one over and compare it." ”
Chen Feng nodded, put the box upside down according to his words, took off the jade pendant that was stuck in, and put the two pieces together.
"It's really exactly the same, and there is no difference in size." Chen Feng's doubts in his heart were even worse.
"Since it's all the same, there's no clue." Chen Feng said with some disappointment.
Lin Zhennan also nodded slowly, but then shook his head again, "This is impossible, since the master mother left this thing, she will definitely have its intentions." ”
At this moment, Chen Feng's hand holding two pieces of jade pendant suddenly trembled.
Because he suddenly felt as if he had been electrocuted!
Immediately after that, the feeling became more and more pronounced, and the feeling became more and more intense.
He clearly felt it, and this feeling was not "electric shock", but like a burning sensation.
After taking a closer look, he found that after the two pieces of jade pendant were attached together, they were faintly glowing! And it's the kind of thing, like two fireflies responding to each other, emitting a faint green light.
"This ...... What's going on! Chen Feng exclaimed, feeling the pain in his hands, and when it became more and more intense, he instinctively wanted to separate the two jade pendants.
But at this time, the green light suddenly flourished, stabbing him so that he couldn't open his eyes, and subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Ahh
In the next second, Chen Feng screamed violently, as if the strength of his body had been completely emptied, and his body collapsed to the ground.
"Young Master, what's wrong with you!" Lin Zhennan exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
But no matter how he shouted, Chen Feng felt like he was asleep, and there was no response. If it weren't for Chen Feng's breathing, body and temperature, Lin Zhennan would definitely think that he would ......
"Someone! Go to the doctor! Lin Zhennan picked up the phone on the table, pressed a button, and shouted loudly.
This mountain villa is far away from the city, and the people who come here are rich people, so as not to make any mistakes, so there are full-time doctors.
Soon, two doctors and several women dressed as nurses walked up quickly.
After a while, when all the instruments were used on Chen Feng's body and the examination was completed, the doctor held back a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, this gentleman is ...... Fell asleep. ”
"What?" Lin Zhennan asked loudly, "How is this possible!" Why did you fall asleep all of a sudden, when you were so good just now? ”
"Mr. Lin, we have done a series of examinations just now, and his condition is indeed asleep."
"Stand down." Lin Zhennan waved his hand. Although he didn't believe it, he saw that Chen Feng's face was very stable, and he didn't show any pain, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart, sit down and wait for Chen Feng quietly, and when he woke up, he would really feel at ease.
Decades ago, he Lin Zhennan was just a beggar who was about to starve to death, if it wasn't for the master's mother who saved him, it is estimated that he would not know where the loess and bones were broken now.
Therefore, he is very attentive to Chen Feng.
And Chen Feng is really asleep.
When he first fell asleep, he didn't know if he was dreaming. I just feel that my body is constantly falling!
It's like falling into an endless abyss, a cliff.
When he fell, he didn't feel the sound of the wind in his ears, and he didn't feel that his clothes were being moved, he just fell, fell, and kept falling! The body is also like a whirlpool in the water, constantly circling, spinning faster and faster, and the feeling of dizziness is getting stronger and stronger.
I don't know how long this lasted, but when he felt at peace, he found himself in a forest.
Why does it feel like a forest, Chen Feng doesn't know, in short, he instinctively feels that this is a forest.
He looked around, but it was pitch black all around, and it was even denser with trees, as if it surrounded the place. There is simply no way out.
Run!
In his sleep, his first thought was to run.
In any case, it's better to run than to stand still.
But then he found out...... It's like you're in a moving labyrinth, and while you're running, it's like you're driving the whole forest, and the space is moving with your body.
Chen Feng was in a hurry, he stopped, stopped running, and the whole space also stopped.
His brow furrowed and he was sweating profusely!
Instinctively, he thought, if he could fly, wouldn't he be able to fly out in mid-air and find a way out?
As soon as this thought fell, he actually flew up, like a plastic bag meeting the wind, and rose into the air lightly!
Then, in the next moment, he suddenly saw a bright light in front of him, and after following the bright light, Chen Feng was stunned!
