Chapter 36, The True Vault (1)

The old man recognized the contents of the box, and even his expression changed because he saw the contents of the box, and tears welled up in his already somewhat cloudy eyes.

"These clothes, these little toys...... It's all mine, the old clothes I wore when I was a kid, and these toys are all things I used to play with when I was a kid, how did they end up here? The old man asked in surprise, even he didn't know why.

Tang Yao on the side seemed to know the reason, stepped forward and said softly: "These things are the secrets left by your mother, for her, the most precious thing in the world is you, maybe she has a premonition that something will happen, so she kept everything about you, and tried her best to hide it in the old mansion, looking forward to finding it in the future, but unfortunately this farewell is for decades." ”

The old man slowly knelt on the ground, took out a tiger hat from the box, buried his face deep in the hat, and after a few seconds, the cry came, Tang Yao silently retreated, and Fang Chao and Sanyu were also silent at this time, and the old man's sadness was filled with the mansion before dawn.

After crying for a long time, the old man calmed down a little, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered: "We have been living very hard, sometimes the big house at home does not even let us eat, at that time my mother will always break half of the bun in her bowl to me, she said that she is not hungry, let me eat enough and grow up quickly, once the aunt and wife of the family want to drink tea, I accidentally spilled it when I brought it over, she slapped my face with a feather duster, my mother was very distressed to see it, she went to find my father, but my father could not do anything, Because the maiden families of those aunts were rich and powerful, I always fantasized at that time that one day I could make my mother live a good life, but unfortunately, she left too early. ”

At this time, Sanyu, who was standing in the back, whispered: "If his mother is an illusionist, it is too easy to deal with a few ordinary people, and she should not be bullied so much, unless there is some reason why she can't make a move anyway." ”

After hearing this, Tang Yao felt that it made sense, so he asked the old man: "Old man, your mother may be a capable person in our circle, it stands to reason that she should be very powerful, she shouldn't be bullied so seriously, maybe there is any reason to restrain her, do you have any impression?" ”

The old man looked at the contents of the box and shook his head and said, "I don't know, I was too young at that time......"

When Tang Yao was a little disappointed, the old man suddenly remembered something and said, "But I remember a very strange thing when I was a child. ”

"Tell me what's going on." Fang Chao hurriedly spoke.

"It was the year of my mother's death, the family invited a tailor to make new clothes for each room, my mother saved a little money and wanted to add a winter coat to me, so she secretly found a tailor, and then I wore it warm after the clothes were ready, that year the winter was very cold, I was going to add charcoal to each room at night, my mother asked me to wear new clothes, but the big house saw that I was wearing new clothes, and thought that my father secretly bought them for me, so he got angry, and took off my clothes directly and burned them, and let me stand in the garden in a single clothes for an hour, When I went back, I was frozen, I remember that time my mother was very angry, her eyes looked like she was going to kill, I was scared and I didn't dare to talk much, and then I fell asleep tired, and the next day I couldn't afford to get sick, and it took three days to gradually get better, and I only heard a strange thing after I went back to work, and the big room suddenly became nervous in these three days, saying that every night I could see a ghost standing at the head of the bed, or that ghost was going to kill her, and she was scared to go crazy, and then the family invited a doctor to see it for a long time and didn't see well, Several ancestors said to the outside world that Dafang had a high fever and burned her brain, and locked up Dafang to prevent her from seeing people, and on the day she was locked up, her mother looked very happy, but at night she looked very sad, and said to me, I am afraid that she will not have much time with me, let me take good care of myself in the future......

Tang Yao patiently listened to the old man's narration, and glanced back at Fang Chao, who pulled Tang Yao aside and said softly: "I'm afraid that this vicious big house was taught by the old man's mother, but because she made a move, I am afraid that she broke some agreements, so the disaster came, and she herself probably knew, so she asked the old man to take care of herself, and died in the same year." ”

When he said this, he was afraid that the old man would hear it, so he deliberately avoided the old man's house.

Tang Yao also thought so, but now the question is who or what regulations restrain the old man's mother, as the holder of the obsidian, she must be a powerful illusionist, she can easily take people's lives, but she lost her life because of revenge on the vicious big house, which is also too bizarre.

At this moment, the old man suddenly said, "It's not mine." ”

Tang Yao and Fang Chao, who heard the voice, turned back, and saw the old man holding a beautiful handicraft-like object in his hand, which was made of glaze throughout, and the workmanship was very exquisite, and it seemed to be worth a lot of money.

"Isn't this a miniature version of the glass building?" Fang Chao said in surprise.

Everyone looked closely and found that this was really the case, this small object looked very similar to the glass building, the only difference was that this miniature version of the glass building reflected a faint red, while the real glass building did not have this red.

"This isn't your childhood toy?" Tang Yao asked.

The old man nodded affirmatively and said, "This thing is very valuable, how could I have such a valuable thing when I was so poor." ”

Fang Chao on the side took a closer look and said, "This thing should be made of leftovers from the construction of a small glazed building, how could it be placed in a box...... Well? It seems that it can be opened here. ”

Tang Yao leaned over and saw that the door of the third floor of this miniature version of the glazed building seemed to be open, while the doors of the other two floors were directly sealed, and Fang Chao opened the door of the third floor, and saw that a red stone was placed inside, which was the size of a marble.

"Is it a gem?" Tang Yao asked in surprise.

Fang Chao carefully took out the red stone, put it in the light of the flashlight and examined it carefully, then shook his head and said, "It's worthless, it's just a very ordinary red zircon." ”

Tang Yao was suddenly a little disappointed, and Fang Chao put the stone back and returned the miniature version of the glass building to the old man.

"Don't you wonder why the contents of this box are all old man's childhood things, except for this miniature version of the glass building." Sanyu said next to him.

As soon as she reminded her of this, Tang Yao seemed to have thought of something, paced back and forth and pinched his chin with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe this is a hint." ”

"What's the hint?" Fang Chao asked.

"If the old man's mother is an illusionist and the holder of the obsidian, then she will definitely do everything possible to protect the obsidian, but she later broke some rules in order to stand up for her son, and she had a premonition that a big disaster was coming, so she collected her son's things and kept them in this place, and left the silk cloth as a clue, in fact, she hoped that the old man would find this box in the future, but not only to find these memories in the box, but also to this miniature version of the glass building......" Speaking of this, Tang Yao paused, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam.

"I see!" He shouted, "This place is not only a reminder to the elderly, but also a trick, just like the predecessors of the Hall of Bones, if other illusionists first get the silk cloth, and crack the illusions and mechanisms in this place and find the chest, but after opening it, they will be very disappointed, thinking that they have been tricked, so they will leave in a huff, and they will not continue to search for where the real obsidian is hidden." ”

Fang Chao on the side also understood, and said with a smile: "So this miniature version of the glazed building is the real clue, intuitively tell the old man that there is a red stone on the third floor of the real glazed building, and this red stone should be the legendary obsidian, and the old man's mother hopes that he will be able to inherit his mother's career in the future and become the holder of the next generation of obsidian." ”

Tang Yao also nodded and said, "That's right, then it's clear, the real obsidian is still in the small glazed building." ”

But Fang Chao said a little puzzled: "That's not right, I just climbed the glass building, why didn't I find anything unusual?" ”

"Anyway, let's go over and take a look, presumably as a powerful illusionist, the old man's mother must have also arranged a clever illusion in the real obsidian collection." Tang Yao said with certainty.
