Chapter Seventy-Six: Opening the Gold Box and Fetching the Statue
Reasonable, unexpected.
I wasn't surprised that the mysterious man might know where the rest of the statues were placed, after all, the man's powers were vast and unfathomable, and I didn't think anything could attract his attention other than the special identity they said and the statue.
But what I didn't expect was that listening to what Chunting said, it wasn't my identity that attracted this mysterious man, and he didn't want to find the place where the statue was placed through me, on the contrary, he wanted to lead me to find the real place where the statue was placed?
Seeing my doubts, Chunting nodded helplessly, indicating that I had heard correctly.
"In my opinion, that's it."
I was still skeptical, my eyes full of confusion.
"Then why bother, he came to me directly and told me the location of the statue?"
Chunting shook his head, once again exclaiming the emotion he had before.
"Han Chuan, I think this man in white is the same as me, it's not that we don't want to tell you the real story directly, but this can only rely on yourself, the rest of us can't help, only through yourself, you will know the real reason for all this."
Similar words, Chunting has said more than once, every time he says it, his face is full of emotion and sentimentality, seeing him like this, I know that there will be no gain from continuing this topic, so I retreated and began to ask him what he just said.
"Even if that's the case, we don't have a clue about the next statue right now, so what's the use of saying that?"
"We don't know, but you do."
Seeing that I didn't ask anymore, Chunting let out a sigh of relief, looked at me gratefully, and said what he had just said.
"These five statues are not divine objects that mortals can cast, all of them are made of divine power by the great power of the predecessors in ancient times, and they have mutual feelings with each other, as long as you take back the magic power and memory in this beast statue, you can naturally feel the location of the next statue."
After saying that, he took out the gold box containing the statue of the pig out of nowhere, and put it in front of me, without opening his mouth.
It seems that he has been prepared for a long time, and has calculated that we will not find new clues on our own this time, so it is his last resort to take precautions and hide this gold box on his body and wait until now to take it out.
I thought about it for a while, and finally understood part of the reason.
The first statue I saw was the statue of Bi Fang that Xue Nan gave me, I didn't feel the slightest sign of anything related to me from the statue at that time, in connection with what Chun Ting said just now, it was he who took out the supernatural powers and memories on the statue of Bi Fang in a special way according to the ancestral teachings, and waited until I collected the rest of the parts, and then returned them to me again.
And this statue is different, this statue has been buried in the underground imperial tomb for thousands of years, in the middle of my father and the weak water people have been there, but there is no way to open it, that is to say, there is no shortage of magical powers and memories on this statue, as long as I can absorb it, not only can I recover the memory and mana, but also can sense the location of the next statue.
Of course, there is a premise for what I said, and this premise is that Chunting didn't lie to me.
Hearing Chunting say such a horrible thing to me, I didn't have any doubts about him at all, and I even felt that I was being tricked by him.
After hesitating for a moment, the believer did not doubt it, I still believed in my own heart, and followed my heart to choose to believe unconditionally in Chunting, since this is the case, absorbing the power in the statue is already the only way for us.
I looked at the gold box in front of me, the box was gold, and there were still chains hanging on the four corners, but now they had been broken, and on the top of the gold box was engraved a divine beast similar to a unicorn, with thick black hair all over the body, bright eyes, and a horn on the forehead.
Around the gold box, there are all kinds of divine beasts carved to climb upwards and combine together, as if the rest of the divine beasts on the gold box are suppressed with a hedgehog, one by one, their eyes are wide open, their charm is mighty, and they are extraordinarily smart.
I reached out and took the gold box in my hand, trying to open it, but I found that the box seemed to be soldered to death, and there was no crack in it, and there was no lock hole that could be inserted into the key, so I had no choice but to look up at Chunting and ask him for help.
Seeing this, Chun Ting knew that I couldn't open the gold box in his hand, and he smiled slightly, without the slightest worry in his expression.
"Maybe you still don't believe it, but this gold box and the underground imperial tomb are indeed your handiwork back then, and mortals can't open it, why don't you try something that can represent your identity?"
After listening to him, I pondered for a while, took out the Guigu Order from my arms, took off the Mountain and Sea Ring from my hand, held the gold box in one hand and the Guigu Ring Order in the other, and slowly approached the two hands.
As the Guigu ring order approached the gold box, I saw that the surface of the gold box was actually like boiling, and began to emit dazzling light, as the light emerged, the reliefs around the gold box began to blur, I looked at Chunting in a panic, but saw that he also had a blank expression, his mouth was wide open, and he didn't know what to say.
After a while, the light of the gold box finally dissipated, and I dared to put down my hands and carefully look at what kind of changes had taken place in the gold box.
I saw that the reliefs around the gold box had all disappeared, and the new box wall was pitch black, no longer the magnificence of gold, but it looked solemn and heavy, with the vicissitudes of history. The statue of the hedgehog at the top has not disappeared, although it is not covered with a layer of gold, it is still majestic, but there is a very narrow hole in the back, at first glance, this gold box actually looks like a child's piggy bank.
I looked at the new hole on the pig, according to the width, it was not much different from the mountain and sea ring in my hand, I glanced at Chun Ting, and saw that he nodded to me, I took a deep breath, and resolutely put the mountain and sea ring in this small hole, waiting to see the subsequent changes in this box.
To my surprise, there was nothing abnormal after the mountain and sea ring was put in, and the gold box did not boil and shine as just now, only a "click" sound was heard, and the gold box that we couldn't open before was quietly divided into two halves by itself.
As the gold box opened, I finally saw the statue we had been looking for.
Although we have long known that this statue was cast by the ancient masters with divine power, but at first glance this is still a bronze sculpture, carved like a cow, similar to a unicorn, the whole body is black, four-legged curled, standing with its head high, the single horn on its head is shining, majestic and incomparable, people dare not look directly.
Obviously, the baby was in front of me, but I didn't know what to do again, and looked up at Chunting, my eyes were full of confusion.
Chun Ting's attitude towards this statue was extremely respectful, bowing his head slightly, as if he didn't dare to look directly at the eyes of the pig, he opened his mouth quietly, and his tone was full of fear.
"Han Chuan, you wear the statue of the Mountain and Sea Ring on your chest with your left hand, and the Guigu Order in your right hand, and at the same time abandon all distracting thoughts in your heart, close your eyes, and feel it with your heart."
I obeyed Chunting's instructions, holding the statue in my left hand and the Guigu Order in my right hand, closing my eyes, adjusting my breathing, and feeling the mysterious feeling with my heart.
Rumble!
Just when I was relaxing and had just sensed the interconnection between the Shanhai Ring, the Guigu Ling and the statue, a flame suddenly burst out of the mouth of the pig in the statue, and it rushed directly into my brain!
