He couldn't help but reach out and close the door again.

"No matter, we don't have to come again anyway."

The strange atmosphere made Yuan Xi very displeased, turned around and strode out of the village.

Zhuge Guo hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "The people here are also your people, why don't you want to care, where have they gone?" ”

Yuan Xi glanced back at her and said with a smile: "I can't care so much, if I take care of everything, I don't have to leave." ”

"Not responsible." Zhuge Guo muttered in a low voice and quickly followed.

The village behind him is quiet and lonely, as if it has been like this for eternity, and there is no change......

A few months after their departure, Yuan Xi and Zhuge Guo returned to Jixian again.

The crowds in Jixian County are surging, far from being comparable to other places, which makes Yuan Xi breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and he is still comfortable in his old camp.

"When are you going to see my brother?"

"Go now."

It's still early, and Yuan Xi plans to see what is in this seven-trick exquisite box.

The two came to Daoji's Taoist temple, and Zhuge Guo took Yuan Xi straight in.

"Senior brother, senior brother."

Zhuge Guo walked to the courtyard and shouted loudly.

"Little junior sister?"

Dao Ji soon appeared, saw the two of them have their eyes lit up, and hurriedly saluted: "Dao Ji has seen Your Majesty, little junior sister." ”

The three of them entered the house, and Zhuge Guo said with a smile: "Senior brother, this time we went to Hanzhong, and we really brought back something, but I don't know how to open it." ”

As he spoke, he took out the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box.

Dao Ji exclaimed: "Seven tricks exquisite box." ”

Zhuge Guo glanced at Yuan Xi proudly, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, this is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Box, I was also surprised when I saw it." ”

Dao Ji frowned and said: "The legend of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box began in the Qin State in the Spring and Autumn Period, but after the fall of the Qin Dynasty, there was no record. ”

Yuan Xi glanced at the two suspiciously, these two were overly knowledgeable, and he also liked to see some curious things, but he had never heard of the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box.

"Daoji, do you have a way to open this thing?"

Zhuge Guo shouted: "There must be, my senior brother, he is proficient in this kind of thing." ”

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Daoji's face, and he smiled dryly: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, but I have some research on this, but my junior sister has an overreputation." This seven-trick exquisite box is just a legendary thing, so many years have passed, no one has seen it, even if I have the heart to study, I can't study anything. Therefore, it would be a lie to say that it will definitely be opened. ”

Zhuge Guo said: "Senior brother, don't be modest, we can count on you." ”

Dao Ji smiled bitterly: "Senior sister is so smart, why bother to torture senior brother?" ”

Yuan Xi interrupted the two of them and said, "You have to try, then it will be troublesome." ”

Dao Ji nodded slightly, held the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box, and sat down on the side. After looking at it for a while, the ten fingers stretched out and kept dotting on the wooden box, and what was surprising was that every time I clicked, the seven-trick exquisite box would be slightly dented into it, which made people look strange.

Zhuge Guo seemed to see his doubts, and said with a smile: "This is the peculiarity of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Box, and ordinary people can't see his weirdness." ”

Yuan Xi looked at her for a moment and didn't speak.

At the beginning, Dao Ji's speed was very fast, and his face was calm, but later, his brows were tightly locked, and his speed was even slower to the extreme.

"Hey!"

Dao Ji sighed slightly, pushed the seven-trick exquisite box, and said with mixed emotions: "This treasure box is ten times more complicated than I imagined, and the ancestors really knew how to make such a complex thing." ”

Yuan Xi's heart sank, and Dao Ji couldn't open it, didn't he say that these seven tricks were found in vain?

Zhuge Guo said with a solemn expression: "Senior brother, don't worry, take your time, didn't you have a clue just now?" ”

Dao Ji shook his head and sighed: "Senior sister, I can't hide it, this treasure box, its precision is far beyond the current process, I really can't think of a way." Even if you have a heart, you are powerless. ”

Zhuge Guo was silent, she understood Daoji's character, he said this, then there was no way.

Glancing at Yuan Xi beside him, Zhuge Guo said lightly: "It seems that you are looking for nothing?" ”

Yuan Xi said lightly: "Not necessarily, the boxes have been found, there are always people who can open them, I'm in a hurry that the country's skilled craftsmen, there are always people who can open them, right?" ”

"No way!"

Dao Ji and Zhuge Guo said in unison.

"Why?" Yuan Xi's face was strange.

Dao Ji made a compilation and frowned: "Your Majesty, this Seven Tricks Exquisite Box is ominous, and it is rarely passed on in the world, and my junior sister and I only know one or two from the broken ancient books, and ordinary craftsmen will not know about this thing at all." ”

Zhuge Guo hesitated: "And this thing, ordinary people can't see it, in addition to the precision craftsmanship, there are many ....... Anyway, it's better for ordinary people to have less contact. ”

Yuan Xi had a general understanding, and said with his head bowed: "Then this seven-trick exquisite box can only be like this?" ”

Dao Ji said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be pessimistic, everything has cause and effect, we can't open these seven exquisite boxes, maybe something will help us open it." ”

Yuan Xi was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"What my brother means is that we continue to do what we have to do, and maybe what we find will help us open up."

Yuan Xi said in his heart This is just your guess, if you still find such a thing, it will be funny, you have traveled thousands of miles to find it, and in the end you have not found anything. Thinking of that dangerous and strange atmosphere, Yuan Xi had the heart to refuse.

Looking at the eager eyes of the two, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Let's talk about it, it's hard to come back, rest for a while." The two of you are busy, I'll go back first. ”

After Yuan Xi left, Zhuge Guo glanced at the seven-trick exquisite box on the table, and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you really can't open it?" ”

Dao Ji said calmly: "I can't open it, the process is too complicated, in addition to the process, there are many curses in it, I can block the curse, but there is no way to open this box." ”

He glanced at Zhuge Guo and said solemnly: "You also know the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box, you are such a smart person, you can't open it, but you can imagine how many people in the world can open it?" ”

Zhuge Guo pursed his lips and said, "There is a specialization in art, but I don't know much about it. ”

Dao Ji pinched his fingers and said with a smile: "Senior sister is a person with great opportunities, but don't be discouraged." Although I can't open these seven exquisite boxes, I have my own capable people who can open them. ”

Zhuge Guo was not confident, and said: "Senior brother can't open it, I can't think of anyone else who can open it." ”

Dao Ji smiled and said, "Senior sister, don't underestimate the people in the world, although we are cultivators, how are we compared to Your Majesty?" ”

Zhuge Guo's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "Thanks to Yuan Xi this time, if it weren't for him, I really wouldn't be able to come back." By the way, brother, do you know what treasures he has? ”

Dao Ji smiled silently.

Zhuge Guo rolled his eyes and said, "He was lucky enough to explode, and he actually had space." ”

Dao Ji's unchanged expression finally changed, and he said in surprise: "Space? ”

Zhuge Guo said solemnly: "It's space, when we were looking for this box, we encountered danger, and if we didn't enter the space, we had to explain there." ”

Dao Ji said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty is really very human, my junior sister has to befriend Your Majesty, don't bother him with everything, Your Majesty is a great nobleman like me." ”

Zhuge Guo's face was slightly red, and he snorted: "A pervert, what a nobleman." ”

Dao Ji smiled silently, paused, and said, "Now Your Majesty is also a cultivator, if Senior Sister can marry him, it will not be bad." ”

"Oops!"

Zhuge Guo jumped up and rushed out, "Whoever wants to marry him is not a cultivator." ”

With that, the man had disappeared into the courtyard.

Dao Ji looked at the Seven Tricks Exquisite Box quietly placed on the side, and his eyes were deep in thought.

......

Yuan Xi arrived outside the palace and was about to go in, when he saw two beautiful shadows, some talking and laughing.

"Hyun-young?"

Xin Xianying looked up, hurriedly pulled the people around her, stepped forward and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty." ”

Yuan Xi nodded and said with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”

Xin Xianying said: "I discussed it with Sister Gan, and the secretary made the lack of people small, so I thought of asking Sister Dong to come over to help, Your Majesty, what do you see?" ”

Sister Dong?

Yuan Xi looked at the delicate girl in front of him, and saw that her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was delicate and cute, and her body was slender, especially a pair of big eyes that were bright and bright, as if she could speak, which was really likable.

Such an elf-like girl, Yuan Xi has not seen it for a long time.

He smiled: "It's not as good as before, if this Sister Dong can, I naturally have no problem." ”

Xin Xianying hurriedly touched the girl with a red face, "I haven't thanked Your Majesty yet." ”

The girl's slender waist bent slightly, and her voice was crisp and pleasant: "Dong Bai, I've seen Your Majesty." ”

"Dong Bai? Very nice name. ”

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile, and was just about to go in, when he suddenly shouted violently: "What did you say?" ”

Xin Xianying said nervously: "Her name is Dong Bai?" What's the problem? ”

Yuan Xi thought for a while and said, "You take her to get familiar with it first, and then come back." ”

Xin Xianying nodded, looking at Yuan Xi's distant back, his face was pensive.

"Sister, does Your Majesty recognize something?" Dong Bailiu's eyebrows are crooked, and his handsome face is like fine porcelain, and a touch of sorrow appears.

Xin Xianying shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, but why did Your Majesty react so much?" ”

This made her puzzled, "Forget it, even if you know, it's nothing, go, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the work." ”

"Hmm." Dong Bai's little head nodded, and he whispered: "Sister, Your Majesty has been doing so many years, why hasn't there been any change at all?" ”

Xin Xianying looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I don't know very well, everyone else has grown up a lot, only His Majesty has not changed for so many years." ”

Dong Bai said: "Is it because Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven?" ”

Xin Xianying shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, then the Han Emperor is also the true dragon emperor, isn't that it?" ”

"That's right." Dong Bai was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty!"

After getting acquainted with Dong Bai for a while, Xin Xianying found Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi put down the brush and beckoned to Xin Xianying.

Xin Xianying bit her red lip slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt, and moved lightly, and as soon as she walked to Yuan Xi's side, she was wrapped in Yuan Xi's ape arm and held in her arms.

"Ahh

Xin Xianying exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly covered her lips, her pretty face flushed.

Yuan Xi looked at the lovely expression of the beauty, slowly rubbed her back with his big hand, and said with a smile: "Then what is the origin of Dong Bai?" ”

Xin Xianying's expression froze, he glanced at him strangely, and hesitated: "Your Majesty knows everything?" ”

Yuan Xi smiled silently.

Xin Xianying suddenly had no intention of concealing it, and explained in a low voice: "Dong Xiaomei is Dong Zhuo's granddaughter. ”

Although Yuan Xi had known this for a long time, he was still surprised when he heard this from Xin Xianying's mouth.

"This Dong Bai, why is it in your hands?"

Xin Xianying's eyes widened and said, "Your Majesty doesn't blame me for concealing it?" ”

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "That Dong thief has long been finished, and he has no interests with me, what is there to blame for you?" ”

Xin Xianying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "At that time, when Luoyang was in turmoil, Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang with a fire and migrated to Chang'an. Preserve a trace of his blood. ”

Yuan Xi was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect the Xin family to have a relationship with Dong Zhuo.

Xin Xianying said embarrassedly: "Although Dong Zhuo did absolutely bad things at that time, he was good for our family, so grandpa agreed." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "I don't blame you, I want to be Wen Ji....... Oh, and he repays the favor by doing so. There is nothing wrong with it, and besides, Dong Bai is a little girl, but there is nothing wrong with it. ”

almost told Cai Yong about being reused, and Yuan Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Xin Xianying said gratefully: "Sister Dong has been cautious all these years, although her life is rich, she is not in a good mood. Her Majesty can forgive her sins, and she will be very happy. ”

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "You brought her to my side, didn't you have this kind of thought?" ”

Xin Xianying suddenly blushed slightly, hugged Yuan Xi's bear waist tightly, and her voice had a hint of coquettishness: "How can I have a concubine, I didn't know that Your Majesty actually knew Dong Bai." ”

She was puzzled: "Dong Bai was very young at that time, how could Your Majesty know her?" ”

Yuan Xi said nonsense: "I know by coincidence, but I didn't expect this Dong Bai to survive." Thinking of his father's appearance, Dong Bai can indeed grow like this, and Dong Zhuo can be regarded as dead without regrets. ”

Xin Xianying bit her red lip, approached Yuan Xi, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, do you want me to call Sister Dong to serve you?" ”

Yuan Xi's heart thumped, grabbed her fiercely, and said with a smile: "I Yuan Xi want a woman, is there a compulsion?" Ahem, how old is this Dong Bai? ”

Xin Xianying giggled: "Fifteen years old, it's not too young." Speaking of which, I have met His Majesty. ”

Fifteen? That's not much older than my eldest daughter.

Yuan Xi was stunned for a while, and said strangely: "Have you met me?" ”

Xin Xianying said: "When you married the daughter of the Zhen family, Sister Dong and I came to see you. But it's been years. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Is it Zhen Tuoxi?" It was indeed many years after that. ”
