Chapter Ninety-Nine, Message from the Codex
What appeared in front of Luo Tong's eyes was a circular prayer hall that had shrunk several times, and it was the first time Luo Tong had seen this kind of ancestral house. ~ Similarly, because it is many times smaller, there are not many people sitting in the ancestral house, and you can vaguely see that in addition to the old man, there are about two people in the room, sitting cross-legged in front of the offering table. There was also a loose futon, which seemed to be the place where the old man who had just left had sit.
Seeing Luo Tong and them coming, the old man who was sitting next to them laughed and said, "Look, aren't they? ”
When Luo Zhengnian and they walked to the door of this ancestral house, Luo led to take a look inside, it was very simple inside, and there were not many tablets like other ancestral houses. In front of the offering table, there is an immortal tablet in the center of the whole room, and there are several booklets piled up around the tablet, which is probably the family tree. Other than that, the room was empty, not even a chair.
This kind of ancestral house that does not meet the specifications at all made Luo Tong stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt that this Luo family was probably not an ordinary family. But thinking about the skills of the old ancestor just now, I can also guess that the Luo family may be able to connect with monks and the like.
"You came just in time, according to the rules, the one in the south brought something, let you see it."
As he spoke, the old ancestor turned his head to look at the other two people, and the other two people in the room only bowed slightly and did not refuse.
Seeing this, the old ancestor stretched out his hand and waved, and a box that was originally placed under the offering table fell fluttering into his hand. Yao Yufeng has also seen a few thrilling scenes before, and none of them can make her feel more incredible like now.
But other people were not surprised, as for Du Xiaoxiao, they even pouted. If she is allowed to use her spiritual energy, she may be able to do better than her ancestor.
Holding the box in his hand and lightly clicking, the old ancestor groaned and said: "After the Luo family was divided, the tablet was returned to the south, and the genealogy was returned to the north. This thing is playing back and forth between the north and south sects. You put it for a few years, I put it for a few years, but there is no fixed number. Just think of it and take it, or take it. ”
As he spoke, he took the wooden box to Luo Zhengnian and said, "It is said that every child of the Luo family is qualified to see this thing, and he is also qualified to try to open it." However, more than 100 years ago, the box lost something important, so it could no longer be opened. According to the rules, whoever opens this will own the contents of it. ”
Turning his head to look at the other two people again, seeing that the other party still had no objections, the old ancestor looked at Luo Zhengnian, to be exact, looked at Luo Tong and said: "Although your surname is Luo, you are not a family, and this box has never been given to you to try." But no one in the Luo family has been able to open it for more than a hundred years, I thought, maybe you can open it? ”
Saying that, the ancestor handed the box to Luo Zhengnian, and then said: "I can't live long, I always think that when I am alive, I can see the day when this box is reopened, so I have survived until now." If you can open it, it will be considered the fulfillment of my wish, and it will save me a few days of hard work. ”
When Luo Tong heard this, he vaguely remembered Xue Hongyu, these people probably have some feelings about the future, so they have been holding on to their bodies, wanting to leave some hope. The pain of trying to stay alive is perhaps only understood by these people.
Luo Zhengnian casually broke the wooden box twice with his hand, and said with a smile: "I can't do it, I've seen this before, and the fourth child wanted to open it at the beginning." ”
While speaking, Luo Zhengnian handed the box to Luo Tong behind him, and asked: "Ancestor, I have heard of the Luo family and the Yan family, but the specific situation is not very clear, why don't you tell us about it today?" ”
The old ancestor smiled and said, "What is the Luo family and the Yan family, it should be said the other way around, it is the Yan family and the Luo family." That's what it says, do you understand what it means? ”
Luo Tong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Yama?" ”
The old ancestor nodded and said, "That's right, when the Luo family didn't divide and the Yan family didn't lose, wasn't it Yan Luo?" ”
Luo Tong seemed to have suddenly opened a hole in his mind, and he didn't bother to pick up the box for a while, but asked: "Ancestor, where is the sect in the south?" ”
The old ancestor laughed and said, "Tie Ma Zhuang, your father must know. ”
Luo Tong's mind turned for a long time, and he vaguely felt that he understood something. At the beginning, Abbot Yuanhui said that it was a copy, and Luo Tong was still wondering why a copy had arrived at the Buddhist Academy.
Now, there is something wrong with that manuscript, it is definitely not copied according to the original record, and a lot of content has been changed in it. Abbot Yuanhui put the manuscript of the manuscript here in Luo Tong, and he also read it several times, and in the part of the manuscript that records Yongcheng, he keeps talking about the Luo family and the Yan family.
The problem is that what the old ancestor means is that the Luo family and the Yan family were defeated, basically at the same time. In other words, more than a hundred years ago, when the host arrived in Yongcheng, there should have been no Yan family.
There is another point, there is no introduction in the manuscript of the Luo family's separation, and the people who have copied and tampered with it must not have thought that there is no Nanluo Township in Yongcheng, and the people who tampered with it may think that there should be Nanluo Township if there is Beiluo Township, so they will make a mistake.
As for who the person who tampered with this manuscript, Luo Tong also guessed, most likely closely related to the demonic infiltrator. It's just that Luo Tong hasn't figured out what these infiltrators want to do with this tampered manuscript.
Maybe it's to deliver some kind of message?
Luo Tong vaguely had an idea, Abbot Yuanhui went to the Kukai Zen Forest because of this copy, and perhaps, Shi Xujue also went to the Kukai Zen Forest because of this copy. The infiltrator sends a message in this way, telling the other infiltrator where to go?
These ideas have not been fully confirmed, Luo Tong subconsciously took the wooden box and glanced at it, and his heart moved again.
This wooden box should be made of pineapple wood, and after many people rubbing it, it has been very long, and the pulp is very complete. Although there is nothing carved on the box, this box alone should be worth a lot of money. The opening of the box is tightly connected, but there is no lock, so it looks like the box can be opened with a little force.
However, Luo Tong clearly saw that there were obvious rivet marks on the top and bottom of the opening of the box, as if there was a lock in the original, but someone dragged it down.
Seeing this, Luo Tong took out the ghost head bat pattern lock from his backpack, and as soon as he took it out, the three old men in the ancestral house were all moved. The old ancestor asked, "Where did you get this lock?" ”
