Chapter 563: Strange Box

Hiss. She gasped and hurried to check her wound. Fortunately, although this wound looks serious, it is not deep, as long as you go out and apply some gold sore medicine, it will soon heal.

"Everything here will be mine, and with these things, the world will be in the palm of my hand." The proud and complacent voice of the King of Chu echoed in his ears. Chi Wan quickly nodded in agreement, trying to hide the wooden box.

"What's going on with this old nine, he still hasn't found an exit for so long?" After a period of relaxation, the king of Chu had regained his composure, and there was even impatience in his voice.

He turned his head and looked around the closed room, and found that the Nine Princes were trying very hard to find the exit. The King of Chu bowed his head slightly in satisfaction, turned around and continued to study the jade artifacts all over the ground.

"I didn't expect that there are so many ingenious jade artifacts in the world." The King of Chu sighed while looking at these jades. What I was thinking about was how to transport all this to the palace.

Of course, at the same time, his eyes rolled, and now he and the Nine Princes are grasshoppers on a rope, and they still need to rely on each other to find an exit, and they can't tear their faces.

But once the exit is found, the Nine Princes will lose their value, and there are so many treasures here, it is impossible for him to share them with the other party.

Thinking of this, King Chu subconsciously clenched the dagger in his hand, preparing to take advantage of the other party's inattention when he went out for a while.

Although King Chu looked very sober at this moment, the way he went crazy just now still made Chi Wan's heart palpitate, and she kept an eye on the situation around her while hiding the wooden box in her hand.

The current King of Chu seems to be extremely interested in jade, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find this box, once he wants to take possession of it, he will definitely not be able to keep it on his own.

The Nine Princes were still walking around, but they were getting more and more anxious in their hearts. For some reason, he couldn't find the exit to this ancient tomb.

The longer you spend in the tomb, the more dangerous it becomes, and everyone understands that.

The smell of the house alone will make the human body unbearable for a long time. Although the previous green smoke has dissipated, there is still some residue, which makes people's frontal horns swell.

In addition, he didn't know what the situation was like outside now, a sudden rebellion would definitely cause a riot in the capital, and he didn't know if Xie Yutang alone could deal with it.

Thinking of the chaos in the capital when the King of Chu and the first prince seized the throne before, the heart of the Nine Princes seemed to be tightly grasped by a big hand, and he twisted his eyebrows and pressed against the cold walls around him, but found that there was no mechanism at all.

And Chi Wan took advantage of King Chu's lack of attention to herself and tried to open the wooden box in her hand, but no matter how hard she tried, the box just couldn't be opened.

On the surface, it was just a simple jewelry box, and it didn't weigh particularly much in the hand, and it was fastened with a copper lock. It's obviously just a small copper lock, although its internal strength is not deep, but it makes no sense that it can't even tear open a copper lock.

Rubbing the oily wooden box, Chi Wan became more and more interested in the contents of this box.

"What should I do?" The Nine Princes were still groping for the wall, and when he was worried about having no choice, he suddenly felt the opposite of the stone wall.

When I looked up, I saw a huge ship in front of me. The Nine Princes subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and in his mind, an idea flashed through him, perhaps...... The exit is inside this ship.

The Nine Princes, who had this idea, glanced at Chi Wan and confirmed that the other party was not in danger before entering the inside of the ship with confidence.

At first glance, this ship is no different from other ships. Although the shape is huge, the Nine Princes have always been well-informed, and before that, he had also traveled for a long time, and even seen something grander than the scale of this ship.

But he didn't know why, he just had a hunch that this ship must not be simple.

Before he entered the tomb, he had always felt a mysterious force attracting him, but when he stepped through the door of the tomb, that mysterious power suddenly disappeared.

Now that he sees this ship, coupled with the history of the previous dynasty he saw from the ancient books before, the Nine Princes can almost be sure that the core of the mysterious power must be on this ship.

In other words, the most important thing in the entire chamber is probably the ship.

Now Chi Wan is in the hands of the King of Chu, so the King of Chu can't pay attention to this, and the Nine Princes just took advantage of this time to take a good look at the ship.

The whole ship was pitch black, and there was a faint metallic sound when it was struck. For a while, I couldn't even tell what kind of wood it was. Unlike other boats, the color does not seem to have been painted later, but the color of the wood itself.

The Nine Princes are well-informed people, if there is such a magical wood in the world, it is pitch black without painting, and there is no sign of decay after many years, then he must have heard of it.

It's just weird.

"Is there really such a coincidence in the world?" The Nine Princes frowned, and subconsciously muttered.

He remembered one thing, because the time was relatively old, and he thought it was too incredible, so he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he was on the opposite ship.

"It's that ring......" At this time, the Nine Princes had already boarded the boat and muttered to themselves.

Even though the King of Chu has deep internal strength and is full of martial arts, in the empty place of the tomb, the distance is far away. In addition, the Nine Princes deliberately lowered his voice. This surprise was not noticed by the other party.

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that the Nine Princes remembered an experience in the past, if he hadn't seen this ship today and specially checked the wood used to build the ship, he might have forgotten about it a long time ago.

It is said that it was many years ago, when the Nine Princes were still young and frivolous, in their prime, although they had the idea of traveling in the mountains and rivers, but they had not yet begun to put it into action.

That day was also by chance, at the invitation of a friend, the Nine Princes traveled through the streets at night, and in the lively street market, an old man in rags was out of place with his surroundings.

Although the old man was ragged and unkempt, he had a calm temperament, and he spread out a small cloth on the street, on which were placed a few rings and bracelets. The old man sat on the floor, with his head bowed, and did not shout, and if it were not for these rings and bracelets, one would almost think that he was a beggar.

The Ninth Prince felt something interesting, and wanted to meet the old man in the past.

"Old man, how do you sell this ring?" Originally, he was just casually playing with the rings on the stall, but when he touched it, he noticed something different. The ring is pitch black, resembling wood rather than gold, and shimmering in the sun.

"Five taels." The old man squinted his eyes slightly, and after hearing the words of the Nine Princes, he seemed to have been disturbed by someone, and frowned unhappily.

Although five taels of silver is almost a year's expense in ordinary people's homes, it is really not much for a prince. Although the Nine Princes were surprised that an ordinary ring dared to quote five taels of silver, it was only for a moment, and he regained his demeanor.

Perhaps it was because of the old man's embarrassed appearance, the Nine Princes were moved by compassion, and after only a little thought, he took out ten taels of silver from his arms, "I want this ring, old man, this extra is even a little bit of the king's heart." ”

With that, he took the ring and turned to leave.

Who knew that the old man just glanced coldly at the silver bills on the ground, "Slow." ”

"Old man, is there anything else?" The Ninth Prince turned his head suspiciously, only to see the old man casually weigh the silver bill, and sneered, "Ten taels of silver? Are you supposed to send Hanako? I'm talking about five taels of gold. ”

He raised his hand disdainfully, and the silver coin spun around on the ground a few times, stopping at the feet of the Nine Princes, and the smooth edges reflected the ugly faces of the Nine Princes.

"Old man, don't you want the lion to open your mouth." Although the Nine Princes still maintained respect in his mouth, the clenched fists showed the displeasure in his heart.

Also, I originally wanted to do a good deed, but I was blackmailed by the other party like this, and no one would feel comfortable.

Hearing that the old man dared to ask for five taels of gold, the people around him who were originally watching the excitement couldn't help whispering, looking at the old man's eyes, as if he was looking at a liar.

The rings and bracelets on this stall are not very valuable, the whole body is black, and even a carving can not be seen, and he can open this mouth.

Under the gaze of these accusations, the old man not only did not feel ashamed, but closed his eyes calmly, "If the son can't afford to pay this price, it is better to leave here, and it will save disturbing the old business." ”

These words actually issued an eviction order.

The Nine Princes' forehead was bruised, and he snorted angrily, "Then I wish the old man a prosperous business." ”

He only felt that he was offended, and he did not stay long, and without even picking up the silver on the ground, he turned and left. Seeing him leave, the crowd of onlookers felt that there was no excitement to see, and they quickly dispersed, leaving only the old man alone, still sitting in the same place with the old god, waiting for his "destined person".

In retrospect, the color of the ring on the old man's stall was surprisingly consistent with the wood of the ship.

Although the Nine Princes suspected at the time that the identity of this old man was not an ordinary person, there was nowhere to verify it, because the ring bracelet was not glorious, but looked very ordinary.

Now it seems that the old man is really a reclusive master, and the ring bracelet must not be an ordinary vulgar thing, no wonder he can quote five taels of gold, such a sky-high price.

He brushed his thoughts away and continued his way back into the boat.
