Chapter 147: Strange Chest
Knock knock -
I slammed the box on the ground with a "thump" sound, and I walked over to pick it up again and found that the box had not moved at all. There were no cracks or abrasions on it, and there was no difference at all from before it was smashed.
"How?" Guo Fusheng and Xiao Mi walked up to me, Guo Fusheng seemed to have known that the box could not be broken, and his question was a little contemptuous and smug.
"See for yourself." I handed the box to Quan Fusheng.
Fusheng didn't pick it up, so he said: "This box can't be broken, not only can't be broken." In the past ten years, I have burned it in a furnace, but it does not melt. ”
"What is this box made of?" When I heard this, I said curiously, "It's weird that the high-temperature stove can't melt!" ”
"I've heard Brother Tianyou say that this box is made of extraterrestrial meteorites." Xiao Mi explained, "It can't be broken, burned or melted, only people who are destined can open it." ”
After she finished speaking, she and Guo Fusheng stared at me motionlessly, and I was embarrassed to see it.
Meow -
At the same time, the little meow also meowed, and it stared at me with both eyes and did not move.
"Do you really believe I can open it?" I gestured over the box repeatedly, still a little hesitant.
"Hurry up and figure it out!" Fusheng was a little anxious, "Sister Xiaoling said this, naturally you can open it!" ”
I understood the mood of the resurrection, so I didn't argue with him, and kept watching the box in my hand. The outer wall of this box is carved with a lot of stripes, and these stripes are also quite strange, which are far from being found in today's society. I had read a lot of ancient books, and I went through them in my mind only to find that this kind of stripe was only found in the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.
Moreover, the place where this stripe appeared was not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but the ancient country of Shangbao that was destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty.
"It would be nice if Yang An was here." I muttered to myself, "He'll be able to unlock the secret of this chest." ”
"Who is Yang An?" Guo Fusheng asked curiously.
"Yang An is," I didn't know how to explain for a moment, so I had to say, "He's actually a zombie just like you used to be." The second generation of orange-eyed zombies that have lived for more than a thousand years. ”
"And where does he live now?" He asked inquiringly.
"In London," I replied to him, "I worked as a storekeeper in a farm called Ingle. ”
"The second-generation orange-eyed zombie is actually working as a warehouse manager for others?" Guo Fusheng exclaimed, "This is unbelievable! He didn't believe it.
"What am I lying to you for?" I asked rhetorically and continued, "This kind of stripe appeared in the ancient kingdom of Shangbao thousands of years ago, and I only dabbled in it occasionally. Yang Anke is different, he is the only survivor of the ancient kingdom of Shangbao more than a thousand years ago, and this stripe may be a small cass in his hands! ”
"Oh, Brother and Sister Xiaoling are really true." Guo Fusheng complained, "If that's really the case, just call this Yang An's person over!" Why do you have to wait for someone who is destined! Alas"
"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you." I comforted the situation and looked at the box in my hand intently.
Although I only occasionally dabbled in the stripes on the boxes, I was very familiar with the pictograms engraved on the stripes. Because these patterns are not simple patterns, but a kind of writing - the script of the ancient kingdom of Shangbao!
Thanks to the fact that I learned the script of the ancient kingdom of Shangbao when I was looking for Yang An to interpret the secret letter in London that day, otherwise I really don't know what to do now?
I asked Mi to bring me a pen and paper, and then sat down at the counter, looking at the hieroglyphs on the box and translating it into modern words.
Translated along the way, a few lines of poetry appeared on the white paper.
The first song: Wood is planted in the mouth, the sleepy word can't be guessed, the apricot is not, it's hard to live and die.
Guo Fusheng and Xiao Mi took this poem and guessed for a long time, and the two of them guessed a lot of words, but they were never the answer.
So, they had to ask me.
I smiled and said, "It's actually an anagram, and it wasn't a high-end anagram in my time." ”
Speaking of which, I explained to them, "The wood is planted in the mouth, and the sleepy words cannot be guessed." "This is actually a word composed of wood and mouth, since it can't be a sleepy word, then it may be a dull word, or an apricot, and of course it may be a number. And "apricot is not, it's hard to live and die" just excludes the stupid word and the apricot word, and the riddle is naturally "bundle".
Just as I was telling the mystery of the "bundle", a golden light shone from the outer wall directly above the box, and after a while, there was a relaxation.
"There's a response!" Guo Fusheng screamed, took the box and kept gesturing.
However, although the outer wall directly above the box is relaxed, the box cannot be opened.
It seems that the pattern on each of the outer walls of this box tells a crossword puzzle that must be solved in order to open the box.
So, I took the box and touched the other outer walls of the box, and wrote three riddles on the white paper.
The first song is: the top goes to the bottom head, the bottom head goes to the top, the two ends go to the middle, and the middle goes to the two ends;
This is actually a simple anagram, and you can get the answer to the puzzle by dismantling the word "go". The top of "to" is the bottom of "go", and the bottom of "to" is the top of "go". The middle of "to" is the two ends of "go", and the two ends of "to" are the middle of "go". Therefore, the answer to the puzzle is the word "to".
After the mystery came out, the box was a golden light again, and it changed. The left side of it has been loosened.
The second song is: There is a word in the sentence, guess it three times a month, even if you are a showman, you have to guess it for ten days.
The answer to this mystery seems to be even simpler, only three times a month, you have to guess for ten days! The so-called ten days are ten days. "There is a word in the sentence" is actually a "ten" word, and the riddle is naturally the word "ten".
The third song: Bird screen chooses a good son-in-law, and the parents inquire about the woman's wishes; If you want to watch the lights on New Year's Day, how can you only watch the lights on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Mystery: The first month is one word less, it is a "Ken" word.
The fourth song: Half of the side is hairy, half of the side is light, half of the side is delicious and half of the side is fragrant. Half of the grass on the mountain is still hidden in the water.
The mystery of the poem: fresh.
The fifth song: untie the three autumn leaves, can bloom February flowers. Thousands of feet of waves across the river, into the bamboo ten thousand poles slanted.
The riddle of the poem is: the wind.
Therefore, the riddle of the six sides of the box is: bundle, solstice, ten, ken, fresh, and wind.
After guessing these six words, all six sides of the box were finally opened, and what appeared in front of us was a small golden lock.
I picked up the golden lock and read out the previous riddle in my mouth: "Bundle, Solstice, Ten, Ken, Xian, Wind." ”
After saying this, the golden lock suddenly emitted a golden light, shining in the sky.
Then a picture slowly appeared in the sky, two people, a man and a woman, they walked from far and near, getting closer and closer.
When we were very close to us, we found that this man and woman were the missing Guo Tianyou and Ma Xiaoling!
Of course, they are also the Ma Xiaoyuan and Riley I was looking for! (To be continued.) )
