||->-> Chapter 733 of the main text Two iron galls

Hearing Wang Haolan's shouting, Ding Ermiao walked over.

I saw Wang Haolan standing in front of a painting on the east gable of the living room, staring at it.

"You say this painting is weird?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Wang Haolan nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Ermiao." Look at this painting, isn't it a little weird? ”

Ding Ermiao glanced at it a few times, it was just a four-foot banner painting, depicting a bearded Taoist man, facing the sea, stepping on rocks, carrying a sword on his shoulder, tall and mighty, holding a dust whisk in one hand, and two iron galls shining in the other hand.

The iron guts are only the size of a table tennis ball, and although they are painted, they look very realistic, just like the real thing. The essence is shining, and it makes people dare not look at it directly.

In front of the painting is an incense table with incense candles on it.

Looking at this posture, it seems that the person in the painting is the elder of the demon Qi Tiangao, so Qi Tiangao hangs the portrait here and worships with incense.

Because the person in the painting is dressed as a Taoist, there is no way to confirm which era he is from the clothes.

"Where's the weirdness?" Ding Ermiao looked at it for a long time, and already had a little calculation in his heart, so he didn't say anything, and first made a statement to test Wang Haolan.

Wang Haolan pointed to the iron gall on the painting and said, "I think it's weird here." These two iron galls always feel demonic. When I looked at it, I was in a panic. ”

"It's rare and weird, it's just bone meal on it. The bones contain phosphorus, so they have such a reflective effect. If you come to see it at night, you will find that this iron courage is even more demonic. ”

Ding Ermiao stepped forward, pointed to the picture with his finger, and said slowly: "The real weirdness lies in its hanging height. You could have hung it a little bit on it, but why did you hang it so low that you didn't have to raise your hand to touch it? ”

Wang Haolan was stunned when she heard this, and pondered, this is the case.

The upper end of the banner in front of me is slightly higher than the person, but it can be reached by reaching out, but the lower end hangs down to the person's chest. Standing in front of the painting, just face to face with the person in the painting, in a horizontal position.

"Since it is an enshrined portrait, it is obviously unreasonable to hang it so low." Ding Ermiao thought for a while and said, "There must be something strange in the back." Everybody's flashing away, I'll uncover it. ”

There is another point, Ding Ermiao is even more puzzled. That's when the demon Qi Tian left, why didn't he take this painting with him? Could it be that he was so flustered, and when he ran away, he didn't even want Master Zu?

Thinking about it, Ding Ermiao felt that this painting was probably the bait left by Qi Tiangao, and maybe there was a deadly mechanism behind it.

The crowd nodded, dispersed, and stepped aside.

Ding Ermiao probed with his backhand and had already cut off 10,000 people in his hands.

The strange thing is that the moment when the ten thousand people cut out of the sheath, the two iron galls painted on the painting seemed to be increasing in brilliance at the same time, flashing by.

Is it reflected by the light of the sword, or is the iron courage on this painting some kind of connection or induction with the ten thousand slashes? Ding Ermiao was also in a trance, and when he looked at it again, the iron gall returned to normal.

"Ermiao beware, this painting is indeed weird!" Gu Qinglan, who was on the side, also noticed this strangeness and reminded Ding Ermiao to be careful.

Ding Ermiao nodded, the sword body pressed against the wall, and gently picked up the banner painting.

Sure enough, on the wall behind the painting, there is a dark grid. On the dark grid, a dark red sandalwood box the size of a shoebox was placed.

After taking a look, Ding Ermiao raised the tip of his sword and cut the lanyard. The banner painting then fell to the ground, and the dark grid behind it was completely exposed to everyone's eyes.

The dark grid is not large, like a small shrine made by hollowing out the wall. It's just that the shrine is not placed in the god of wealth, not Guanyin, but a sandalwood box.

The box wasn't locked, it was just fastened with a buckle.

"Brother Ermiao, beware of the mechanism in the box!" Wang Haolan stood in the distance, tiptoeing and watching, and said.

Now everyone can see it. The demon escaped, but left the box here, and it was easily discovered, which must have been done on purpose.

Because this box is very small, it is not something that cannot be taken away, and the sandalwood box is well-made, the style is simple, and it is also a valuable item at first glance.

Ding Ermiao nodded and said, "I understand, you should stay farther away to prevent poisonous smoke or something inside." ”

Ge Wenxu said: "Wait, why don't I let the bureau send a set of explosion-proof suits?" ”

"No need, trouble!" Ding Ermiao waved his hand, and he had already opened the buckle with the tip of his sword.

The buckle is loosened and there is a click. Ding Ermiao immediately turned to one side and stuck his back against the wall in case of accidents.

But when the buckle was opened, there was nothing out of the ordinary. The room was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Ding Ermiao still didn't dare to be careless, slowly glanced at it, and then swept back and forth on the gap in the sandalwood box with the tip of his sword. The tip of the sword plunged in, hardly any resistance, and it seemed that the box was easy to open.

"Open!" Ding Ermiao flipped his wrist, turned the sword body, and completely opened the lid of the sandalwood box.

A soft light overflowed from the sandalwood box, and the light and shadow flowed in the dark grid.

Ding Ermiao dodged to the side, squinting at the dark grid and the sandalwood box. I saw that in the box, except for the light, there was still nothing weird.

There are no hidden weapons, and there are no mechanisms.

Grass, can't you analyze it accurately, be too careful?

Ding Ermiao smiled bitterly in his heart, walked to the opposite side of the dark grid, and looked at the sandalwood box with his eyes.

At the bottom of the box, there is a layer of yellow silk, and on the silk, there are two iron galls the size of a ping-pong ball!

This iron courage is obviously the pair in the hands of the Taoist on the banner.

The brilliance just now was released from the iron gall. Because of the light, this iron gall looks more like a pair of night pearls.

"It should be fine, let's relax." Ding Ermiao put away his caution, put the sword into the sheath, and beckoned everyone to come and see.

Wang Haolan and the others, Hula suddenly came around, looking at the pair of treasures in the box, and were amazed.

"Is this the Pearl of the Night? Boy, how much is this worth? Ge Wenxu stuck out his tongue and said to himself.

Wang Haolan stared at Tie Dan and said, "If it's the Night Pearl, such a big guy, it's not easy." It's strange, the demons have all run away, why did you leave such a valuable thing here? ”

Everyone gathered in front of the dark grid and talked about it, but there was no final result.

"Let's go, let's take out the iron gall and take a look." When everyone had seen the freshness, Ding Ermiao asked everyone to get out of the way and prepare to take out the iron gall.

The crowd moved out of the way slightly.

Ding Ermiao was worried that there was a mechanism at the bottom of the box, so he used the umbrella in his hand against the lid of the box, and then slowly reached out.

But no one expected that at the moment when Ding Ermiao's fingers just touched the iron gall, the pair of iron eggs suddenly sank down and disappeared with a whizz!

Only the bottom of the box remains, two bottomless holes, like the eyes of a monster, staring at everyone.
