Chapter 30 Sitting and talking about the cause and effect, the bird in the box is in the dragon
We ran to the place where the deer had fallen and found a lot of blood on the ground, but the deacon had disappeared without a trace. I picked up an object about a foot long in the bloodstain and found that it was a short knife.
The short knife is as black as ink as a whole, heavy to start, and the blade is engraved with the seal character "Tianjun". "This knife is good, does it have a background?" I swung it a few times, and there was a sound of breaking through the air.
Beichen took a closer look, "Moyu Heavenly Monarch Sword, this is what seals the Cause." When I heard that it was really a treasure, I was immediately overjoyed, "It is just used for self-defense, and it is better than an ordinary machete." He waved it a few more times.
Beichen looked at me like an idiot and shook his head. "What's wrong? Am I not right? I asked.
"Ahem, ahem, that, Long Sang, you may not dabble in this kind of item much, the Heavenly Monarch Sword is a rare demon subduing weapon in the world, and only people with advanced Taoism can use it. Your Moyu Heavenly Monarch Knife is even rarer in the world, and I guess this is the only one. When a machete is used, it's a bit of a waste. Mitsui looked helpless.
"Uh. Well, that's right, I just said to play, and it looks like I'm going to have to study more in the future. By the way, Yinan, where did you say Qiangyin went? I blushed and quickly diverted the subject.
"Because of its ruthless nature, the deer is still fleeing after being hit hard, and it should not be killed, but it will not appear in a thousand years." Beichen said with a long sigh.
"That's fine, otherwise this animal will eat people at every turn, and that will cause evil. Then let's go back right now, Xiao Fan is still waiting for the antidote, give it to him as soon as possible. I said to them, and they both nodded in agreement.
The three of us quickly rushed to the agreed boarding position, the guards of the Zhang family had docked the boat to the shore and waited for us, and the glasses and Chiyoko actually came to pick us up in person. When we got on the boat, we told them what had happened, and we sighed in amazement, saying that we had missed so many good things.
Chiyoko also talked about how to rescue Mitsui's sister. After receiving the message from the tengu, Chiyoko and glasses went to the Wa country overnight, using all the manpower and connections to find out, and finally rescued the person this morning. I look at their intimacy, and it is estimated that after this rescue incident, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and I am happy for them from the bottom of my heart.
We returned to the ancestral home of the Zhang family with the fastest trip, handed over the antidote to the Zhang family doctor, and gave it to Zhang Shifan after testing. About half an hour later, Xiao Fan began to vomit heavily, the filth was extremely fishy, and it was full of Gu eggs that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. After that, the face gradually returned to normal, and the Zhang family doctor confirmed that there was no major problem after diagnosis, and then took some detoxifying drugs to recover, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I sat on the edge of Xiaofan's bed, touched her hand, and everyone consciously retreated when they saw this. I murmured, "Little girl, I really want to spend more time with you." But now the situation is getting more and more complicated, and I'm getting a little bigger. Hurry up and get better, I always feel like I don't have enough brains without you. ”
Since Xiaofan's injury is stable, I decided to unlock the secret of the copper box as soon as possible and start preparing for the next step. Although the trip to Evil Ghost Island foiled the conspiracy of Takeda and others, there were still some mysteries that had not been solved, so I went to find Beichen first.
I walked out of the house and the sky was full of stars. Beichen was sitting on the rooftop drinking and looking up at the stars. The difference is that Xiao Tian, who has turned into a puppy, sits next to him with a bottle of milk. A man and a dog sit side by side, drinking under the stars on this quiet and peaceful night, which is simply like in the painting. I couldn't help but take out my phone and take a group photo of them on the side, freezing this beautiful picture forever.
I didn't know it at this time, and this was the only photo I took of Beichen. During the time when Beichen left, this photo also became my only spiritual sustenance for him, of course, this is a later story.
I climbed on the roof, "Yi Nan, I know you're good at this." Are you saying that what Takeda said is true? I asked, sitting next to him.
"Huh?" Beichen looked at me with some questions.
"Oh, what I'm talking about is that he said that he was the Fang Shi of the Ming Dynasty, and he also said that the emperor sent him to the sea to find the elixir." I'll add a little.
"The death gas on the body is obvious, it should be because of the blood of the deer, it can't be like this in hundreds of years." Beichen replied.
"Then the emperor he said should be the most famous alchemy emperor in the Ming Dynasty, then he himself is not the Duan ......", "Taoist scum, don't say it." Beichen interrupted me.
I think about it, this idiot instigated the emperor to refine the elixir with the blood of a girl, and as a result, the emperor almost died at the hands of the palace maid, which has become a laughing stock for the ages, no wonder Beichen hates him from the heart.
"Yi Nan, I want to gather everyone tomorrow to study the copper box, see where it is pointing, and then prepare for the next step." I said.
Beichen nodded, took a sip of wine, and handed me the flask. I smiled and took a sip, a thick sauce fragrance lingered in my mouth for a long time, and the aftertaste was long. "Moutai in the cellar for ten years? Yi Nan, you are good at your grade, Old Man Zhang's wine is going to be drunk for you. I joked, thinking to myself, "What a good night!"
The next morning, Zhang's Chamber. I gathered everyone to open the copper box, and I inserted the beast head key into the copper lock, turning it carefully. Except for Beichen, everyone also held their breath and looked at me nervously. I only heard a "click", and I slowly took off a beast-shaped copper lock that was divided into two, and slowly opened the copper box.
"How is it empty?" Seeing that the copper box was empty, everyone was a little surprised. "Could it be that Takeda opened it and took the contents away?" Mitsui said.
"It shouldn't be possible, this box has never been opened, I can guarantee this." The glasses replied.
"Oh, why are you so sure?" I asked.
"Because of this lock. This is the Mojia tiger head lock, if the lock is opened by external force, the internal mechanism of the lock will burn the entire box. Glasses explained.
"Then it's strange, why is it empty?" I nodded in confusion. I picked up the box and looked closely, and found a faint yin-yang fish mark on the inside of the box. I put down the box and pressed it gently, and I heard the sound of the machine spring beating, and the box in front of me was actually laid out and reorganized into a one-foot-square, half-inch thick copper plate.
"Giant Secret Box!" Glasses shouted. We were all curious, and asked what is the big reason for this copper box?
"The giant secret box, according to legend, was created by the second giant bird slipper of the Mo family. People's habitual thinking will pay attention to the inside of the box, but they don't know that the box itself is a secret, the giant secret box is invented based on this, it is a treasure used by the Mo family to hide important news, there are very few surviving things, today is really an eye-opener. After the glasses finished speaking, he sighed again and again, showing his old pedant nature.
We didn't have time to do too much emotion, and began to carefully study the contents of the copper plate. The original moire is gone, replaced by the pattern of a large conical object. When we saw this object, we were so shocked that we had to cry out.
The base of this pattern is a disc about an inch thick, and on top of it is a conical shape formed by a number of dragons of the same size, and at the top of the cone is a large bird with wings ready to fly. There is also a line of words on the left side of the copper plate: If you want to get a treasure, first serve the hundred dragons, the dragon flies to the sky, and the Xuanniao offers treasures.
Rao was full of well-informed treasure hunters, and none of them could name the object. At this time, Beichen stepped forward, looked at the pattern carefully, and said lightly; "King Qin's Hundred Dragon Bell, the big dragon is thirty-six, and the small dragon is seventy-two."
"Hey, Xiaolong, you see that this object is a bit like the rare cultural relics on display at that World Expo, what kind of drum base." Lao Jiang interjected on the side.
"Yes, it's very similar. However, the artifact is a remnant, and the shape is not as complicated as this, so it should not be the same thing. I shook my head and said, "Yi Nan, you know the name of this object, so do you know what it is used for?" ”
"This bell was made by an anonymous clan of the Qin State and was the first of the eight tones of the Warring States. The play can make the dragon and phoenix come to the ceremony. Beichen replied.
"It's a musical instrument. What does Xu Fu mean by leaving us such a clue? Where can I find it? "I knew it was a rarity, but I still didn't understand what it was pointing to.
Beichen shook his head. "Hey, Xiaolong, there are still words on the back of the copper plate. Penglai is floating on the sea, the treasure ship is hidden under the water, and there is a subpicture. Look! The glasses fiddled with the copper plate and said happily.
Let's take a closer look, and it's true. Glasses turn on the computer, use his high-tech to compare with the chart, and it doesn't take a moment to suffer, and there is a result. Legend has it that Penglai is the fairy mountain of the East China Sea, comparing this map with the current geographical location. There is, in this location in the Pacific Ocean. The glasses pointed to a glowing red dot to us.
"The East China Sea belongs to the edge of the Pacific Ocean, it seems that Xu Fu has hidden this thing here, no matter what, let's talk about finding it." It seems that we have to go to sea again.
We began to make travel plans, this time by me, Beichen, glasses and Mitsui to go together, there should be no big problem in terms of manpower, glasses this high-tech talent should save me a lot of effort.
"Okay, in addition to the necessary supplies, everyone else should prepare their own and set off at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow." I'm beckoning everyone to split up and get ready.
"Wait. Xiaolong, I'm afraid we're going to change our plans. The glasses turned the computer screen to me, and there was an invitation letter to the effect that the estate was going to auction a series of rare treasures in the near future, and that the invitees were expected to attend.
Below the invitation was the treasure to be auctioned, and we were shocked, and one of the pictures was the "Qin King Hundred Dragon Bell" we were looking for.
