Text Chapter 97: The rosewood box outside the door

Inexplicable rosewood box

What is the mystery gift?

The wind, gradually blowing, blowing the clouds in the sky and disturbing people's hearts.

A faint aroma of tulips slowly drifted into my nostrils with the wind.

"What a beautiful taste!"

I inhaled greedily, as if I wanted to inhale the enchanting aroma into my lungs at once.

The darkness is still there!

But at the edge of this darkness, I don't know when it has been inlaid with a trace of gold.

"The sun is finally coming out?"

Looking at the golden light, I couldn't help but be stupid.

I don't know how long it took for me to hear someone calling out to me softly.

"Tianyi, wake up! Tianyi, wake up! Something happened! Something is wrong! ”

It was a man's voice, and it sounded familiar.

Zhang Chengyong, the person who called me turned out to be Zhang Chengyong.

I slowly opened my eyes, and then I saw Zhang Chengyong's anxious face.

"What's wrong?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and asked with a frown. "Where am I?"

When I said that, I sat up sharply, and then I looked around for a moment. I found that I was not lying in a pile of corpses, and there was no dazzling golden city around, let alone a labyrinthine burial pit.

At this time, I was still lying in that luxurious room.

The soft quilt, the white sheets, the delicate knick-knacks, everything was exactly the same as it was before I fell asleep.

Dreams, it turns out that all this is just a dream.

However, the dream was so real that it seemed as if it had actually happened.

However, a dream is always a dream, and even if it is real, it is nothing more than a dream.

I let out a long sigh of relief, then slowly returned to bed.

However, seeing me in such a state, Zhang Chengyong on the side suddenly shouted: "I said Liu Tianyi, did you fucking hear what I said?" I've said something big! Did you fucking hear that? Something big is wrong! ”

"Something is wrong?" I said lazily, "What's wrong?" What the fuck could be going on? ”

"Lao Zhou is dead!" Zhang Chengyong looked at me and said word by word through gritted teeth.

"What Lao Zhou died?" Hearing Zhang Chengyong's words, my whole body was like someone had been stabbed with a needle in my buttocks, and I jumped up from the bed violently.

I glared at Zhang Chengyong and asked loudly, "How could Lao Zhou die?" When? After he came out of Miss Huang Si, hadn't he been sent to Shanxi by the two of us? ”

"I thought he went to Shanxi! I watched him get on the train with my own eyes! However, who would have thought ......," Zhang Chengyong said with gritted teeth and hatred.

"When the hell is this?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and asked.

"Just now! Someone sent this! Zhang Chengyong said and took a rosewood box from behind him.

The box as a whole is not small, boxy, and the length, width and height are about 40 centimeters. In addition, the workmanship of this rosewood box is very exquisite, the whole is made of the best rosewood, the surface of the box is carved with a very fine dragon pattern, purely from the point of view of the meticulousness of the hand, this sandalwood box is definitely from the hands of a famous artist, if it is put on the market, its value is absolutely not cheap.

"What is this?" I asked, staring at the box.

"You'll know when you open it!" Zhang Chengyong gritted his teeth and said, his tone was very heavy, and his hand holding the box began to tremble, as if what he was holding in his hand at this time was not an ordinary box, but a human head.

Head.

Sure enough, it was a human head.

The moment I opened the box, I actually saw a human head.

An old, old human head.

And I actually recognize this person, because he is Lao Zhou, the unsmiling Lao Zhou.

The person who used to be the speaker of the Honeycomb Mountain Inner Sect was actually in a different place at this time, and his head was actually knocked into such a box and sent here.

Who did it?

Who has such a big hatred with Lao Zhou?

What is this man-made?

Why did he send Lao Zhou's head to us?

Is it showing off?

Or is it a demonstration?

Is it a warning?

Or an invitation to death?

My hand holding the box began to tremble, my stomach contracted again, and my heart began to cool a little.

I didn't know what to say or what to do, I just looked at Lao Zhou's white face stupidly.

I don't know how long it took before Zhang Chengyong said slowly: "This was sent by someone half an hour ago today!" It's still the same, the door was knocked lightly three times, at first I thought it was those filial sons and grandsons sent to eat and drink, but who would have thought that this time it was actually ...... It's actually ......"

Zhang Chengyong tried to say it a few times, but in the end, he still didn't say it.

"Do you see anyone?" I looked at Zhang Chengyong and asked through gritted teeth.

"Nope! There is still not even a shadow of a ghost! Zhang Chengyong said hatefully: "Grandma's! Who's hand on Lao Zhou and why ......"

"Wait!" Just as Zhang Chengyong was halfway through his words, I suddenly interrupted him.

Because, at this time, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Lao Zhou's pale face.

"What's wrong? Tianyi, what did you find? Seeing my hands touching Lao Zhou's face, Zhang Chengyong on the side frowned and asked.

"There's one thing missing from Lao Zhou's face!" I said with a frown.

"What's missing?" Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"Eyes!" I said word by word with a frown.

"What? Missing eyes? Zhang Chengyong asked with wide eyes as he reached out and opened Lao Zhou's tightly closed eyelids.

Sure enough, at this time, Lao Zhou's left eye had already disappeared.

"What's going on? Why did these people take away Lao Zhou's eyes? Zhang Chengyong asked in surprise.

"I don't know! Maybe it's ......"

And just as I could finish speaking, the door of the two of us was suddenly knocked three times from the outside.

"Bang bang bang".

The knock on the door was soft, slow, like that of a most humble servant, lest he disturb the rest of a sick master.

There was a knock on the door, but the interval between each one was even.

"Who?" Zhang Chengyong said fast, people go faster. At the moment when the word "who" just came out, the person Zhang Chengyong used had already arrived at the door.

The door opened, but there was still not a single ghost outside the door.

Some are just a box of rosewood.

This box is exactly the same as the one we have in our hand, except that this time it is much smaller.

Not only is it small, but it's also light, as if there was nothing in the box.

Zhang Chengyong held the small box in his hand and shook it gently, only to hear the sound of "bang, bang, bang" from time to time in the box.

"What's in there?" Zhang Chengyong looked at me and asked in surprise.

"What's in here, don't you open it and see it?" I looked at the box in Zhang Chengyong's hand and asked.

"You're right!" Zhang Chengyong said as he slowly opened the small rosewood box in his hand.

With a "click", the lid of the rosewood locket was gently opened by Zhang Chengyong.

Then, a turquoise eyeball came into view of the two of us.

"This ...... Is this an eyeball? Zhang Chengyong said in surprise. Whose eyeball is this? ”

"The blue-eyed fox grandson is gone! Did he also be killed? "I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw this eyeball.

"Doesn't see the blue-eyed fox grandson?" After Zhang Chengyong heard this name, the whole person was also shocked, and then asked loudly: "Are you talking about that Sun is missing?" ”

"That's right! That's him! I said and nodded, "It's the boss of Mingyue Tower in Shilihe, Beijing, and Sun Ming, who has the name of determining the truth at a glance." ”

"However, it is said that the reason why this man is called a blue-eyed fox is not only because he has this jade eye, but also because the old boy is like the oldest old fox!" Zhang Chengyong touched his nose as he spoke, "Although I haven't seen him, I have heard of his name and deeds." It is said that he was also a good hand in the Tufu of the Eight Sects, and his eye was destroyed in the hands of Zongzi when he went to the ground and fought down, but the old boy was also blessed by misfortune, not only did he find a spiritual weapon from the tomb back then, but also got this jade eye. ”

Zhang Chengyong paused as he spoke, and after thinking for a while, he slowly continued: "Although he was blind in one eye in that battle, he was blessed by misfortune and opened the Mingyue Tower. And now Mingyue Tower has also become the best place to sell underworld artifacts in Sijiu City, its scale is said to be no worse than the ghost market of Chen's shopkeeper in the past two years, and most of the people who can go to Mingyue Tower to do business are either rich or expensive! ”

But now he is dead at the hands of someone else! This jade eye, which seemed heavier than his life, still fell into the hands of others. I looked at this jade and said coldly.

"Yes! Not only did it fall into the hands of others, but it was also sent here! Zhang Chengyong frowned and said lightly: "However, what is the purpose of this person sending them here?" ”

"I don't know! Perhaps, these are more than just those two things that have been delivered. I said coldly.

Sure enough, just as I finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.

It's still a very rhythmic three tones.

It's still a force that seems to be nothing.

There was still not a single ghost outside the door.

Yes, it's just a box of exactly the same rosewood.

The box is still not big, but it is only a circle larger than the box that contains Sun Mingyu's eyes.

The box still contained a small thing, but this time, it was not a jade eyeball.

This time, the box contained a pair of silver ears.
