The surnamed Bai was holding the bronze box, probably looking forward to getting home quickly and discovering the secret.

In the cave, she said that the people of the Yanhuang Department couldn't open it, because they were afraid that the contents would fall into their hands, and if I didn't make a move, the people of the Yanhuang Department couldn't get the contents of the box when they got it.

In this way, Xiaoling is really helping me, I thought to myself.

Seeing that I was in a trance, the surnamed Bai asked in a cold voice: "Are you thinking about your little lover again?" Don't rejoice too soon, she could be a praying mantis catcher. ”

"No!" I hurriedly retorted.

The one surnamed Bai snorted and ignored me.

Sister Xiaoling had already sent half the way, and we returned to the town in the early morning. I paid and didn't go home after getting off the bus, but went to the paper shop.

Although I don't agree with the words surnamed Bai, I have to guard against it, there are talismans arranged by my grandfather in the store, and I can still use it in trouble, after all, the surname Bai has broken the rules, and the people who come to the door may not care about her.

Closing the door, the surnamed Bai couldn't wait to put the bronze box on the ground and repeated what had been said in the cave.

I didn't do it immediately, but looked at the bronze box, bronze is a metal that is easy to distinguish the age, and the box in front of me judging from the copper color is a product of recent years, probably from the hands of my parents.

The surname Bai said that there are clues related to parents in it, what could it be?

Thinking of this, I was a little excited, but I didn't turn it on immediately, but stared at the surnamed Bai, and said uneasily: "Bai Yue'er, let's talk about it first, no matter what it is, it belongs to our common property!" ”

"Phew, the dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, who has common property with you!" Bai Yue'er glared at me, and said angrily: "And I'm not called Bai Yue'er, don't shout!" ”

She mistakenly thought it was the joint property of the husband and wife. I didn't explain, she just understood what I meant. As for the name, Sister Xiaoling called her Bai Yue'er, so naturally there would be no mistake.

I carefully inserted the blood bamboo into the bronze box, and when I entered the three points, the surnamed Bai suddenly shouted to stop.

I stopped, and there was a soft sound in the box, triggering some mechanism. The surnamed Bai was about to say the next step, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door in a hurry, and the two of them suddenly became nervous, but they stopped after knocking six times in a row.

Zhang Xu, he came back so soon?

I pointed to the bronze box and asked if the person surnamed Bai wanted to hide it. She shook her head and said, "Zhang Xu has half a jade pendant on his body, it is estimated that he can use it!" ”

She said that she was estimating, but her tone was very affirmative, obviously knowing a lot about the bronze box. I didn't say anything, went over and opened the door.

Outside the door was Zhang Xu, his face was tired and dusty. When he entered the door and saw the bronze box, he immediately exclaimed: "It wasn't snatched by a group of weirdos, how could it be in your hands?" ”

Hearing that he had something strange to say, he hurriedly helped him sit down and said.

It turned out that Zhang Xu went to chase the soul coffin, and found that the Mai faction and the Gu faction did not fight, nor did they go far, but in a stockade not far away, they worked together to control the corpse shadow and beat it into the bronze box that was exactly the same as in front of him, but before it was opened, the people from the Yanhuang Department arrived.

And the weirdos he said were those unclothed men in the Yanhuang Department.

Before the Mai Sect and the Gu Sect could open it, the people from the Yan Huang Department took the box, and they dared not speak out in anger.

Zhang Xu saw that something was strange, so he didn't show up, but came back to discuss countermeasures with us.

Now it seems that the Yanhuang Department has intervened in several sects, and has the energy to suppress these sects, and their purpose is the bronze box in front of them.

I was relieved when I thought of this, Sister Xiaoling really let me and my surname Bai go in private.

Hearing this, the surnamed Bai hurriedly said: "An Yan, you now take the blood of your middle finger and drop it on the blood bamboo." ”

I pierced my middle finger and dripped blood, and the blood bamboo was like a bloodthirsty demon beast, and it was absorbed when it was touched. The surnamed Bai frowned slightly: "Not enough!" ”

The secret is in front of me, as soon as I gritted my teeth and expanded the wound, sucking it to a certain extent, the blood bamboo was no longer sucking blood, faintly emitting a blood-red halo, very demonic.

The excess blood flowed down the rune into the keyhole, and the sound of the machine was heard again, and the bronze box was opened not from the side, but from the diagonal at the top, opening in four triangles.

We immediately went up to see that there was a bronze box inside, covered with patina, which was obviously not the same age as the box outside, revealing the breath of time, and the dense cloud pattern showed that it was extraordinary.

Because such a moire bronze has special significance in ancient times, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

"You're using me as bait for this?" I asked the surname Bai, but I didn't touch the inner box, because opening it would not only reveal the clues of the parents, but also the purpose of the surname Bai.

The surnamed Bai did not hide it, nodded greedily in his eyes, and urged me to take out the box.

I didn't do it, the outside box is very recent, and it takes my blood and blood bamboo to open it, it may be that my parents left it and don't want people outside the An family to get the inner box.

Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, the contents were left to me by my parents.

"An Yan, what are you in a daze!" The surname Bai was a little unhappy, and the eldest lady's temper came up again, and she kept pinching my arm.

I don't know if I want to continue, but after opening it, what should I do with the things in the exclusive possession of the surname Bai? Zhang Xu and I are definitely not her opponents.

When the surnamed Bai pinched me, I pulled the marriage rope, my eyes lit up, and I asked Zhang Xu directly: "If the marriage rope breaks, I will die, what about her?" ”

Zhang Xu was a little dazed at first, but his eyes quickly cleared, and he said directly: "The same!" ”

The surnamed Bai heard the meaning of my words, and his face was cold.

When I heard this, I was completely worried, so I took out the bronze box inside, looked around, and saw no hole in the blood bamboo, and turned it over to see a circular hole in the middle.

Zhang Xu and I were stunned, and at the same time went to take the jade pendant around my neck, I took his piece and closed it gently, the jade piece seemed to be magnetic, very reliable.

I tried to put it in the groove, just right, and when I was about to turn, the surname Bai pushed me away, I thought she was going to grab it, and reached out to untie the marriage rope.

Her face turned cold all of a sudden, her beautiful big eyes blinked, and she asked fiercely: "An Yan, in your heart, am I not as credible as the person who deceived you for six years?" ”

I don't believe her, it's just that I'm just a grasshopper on the same rope, and I can't run for the time being. Hearing this, I removed my hand from the marriage rope, and the surnamed Bai said: "Look carefully, the runes on it have a mystery." ”

She said and turned slightly, and when the rune lines on the jade pendant were connected to the bronze box, the box clicked open, but our faces were full of disappointment, and it was empty.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xu's mood is the same as mine, because our parents were involved in the events of that year.

The surnamed Bai was also a little dazed, and hurriedly took the documents that were turned out of Ruan Xiaoling's bag.

The document has three pages, and Zhang Xu and I waited blankly when she read it, and I immediately took it after reading the first page, and Zhang Xu squatted next to him to read it together.

The content is very concise, but the things recorded in it make me and Zhang Xu a little excited.

The surnamed Bai quickly handed over the next two pages, and I was silent for a long time after reading them.

Our parents are all Jiuli Department, the boxes we got today were originally in Miaojiang, a total of six, guarded by six villages, ten years ago they took away these six boxes, and finally sent back two, but there was an extra layer of boxes.

And the remaining four, along with my parents and Zhang Xu's parents, completely evaporated from the world and never appeared.

The six villages that guarded the bronze box, including the Mai faction and Miao Gu, all belonged to the Jiuli Ministry, and the actions of Zhang Xu and my parents were tantamount to triggering the civil strife in the Jiuli Ministry, causing the Jiuli Ministry, which fell apart ten years ago, and now it will be suppressed by the Yanhuang Ministry.

Words are simple, but they contain a lot of information.

Zhang Xu analyzed after reading it: "The bronze box is kept in the Jiuli Department, but the jade pendant needed to open it is the mark of the Yanhuang Department, which is very strange. It is likely that the bronze box was given to the Jiuli Department by the Yanhuang Ministry, and a mechanism was set up to prevent the people of the Jiuli Ministry, and it was later stolen by our parents, and at the same time, they also got the key to open the inner box, and they took the contents and set up a layer of organs, so as to confuse the Jiuli Department and the Yanhuang Ministry? ”

His analysis was very thorough, and all I could think of was this, adding: "The Yanhuang Department knew that the key was on me, but they never did it, so it can be seen that their purpose is only to ensure that the box is not opened!" ”

Ruan Xiaoling has been in contact with me for six years, and if she wants to get the jade pendant back, she only needs to say a word, and she didn't do it.

The surnamed Bai ended succinctly: "That is to say, the contents were taken away by your parents ten years ago, but they have confused the Yanhuang Department for so many years. ”

"Not necessarily!" I took the third page of the document, "This sentence is very clear, they want to make the bronze box disappear once and for all, which means that the contents of the box will disappear, so it is possible that they are waiting." ”

Zhang Xu asked, "What are you waiting for?" ”

"When I grow up!" I let out a long sigh, "They're waiting for us to grow up, for the clues left by our parents ten years ago to surface, and then to find out the whereabouts of the other four boxes." ”

Thinking of this, I stood up and sat down in my chair, buried my head in my knees, and tears rolled out of my eyes.

Six years ago, I went into the city alone, fifteen-year-old me dragged a big suitcase, looking at the bustling reinforced concrete helpless, I wanted to cry without tears when Sister Xiaoling appeared, she was like a round of warm sun, completely warmed me.

To this day, I can't forget the scene at that time, she took me to sign up, and later took care of me everywhere in life, it is because of her that I have been working hard to be admitted to the university where she studied.

After I arrived at the university, in order to give me a good environment, she also rented the guest rooms of the villa to me, saying that it was renting, but the monthly rent, she didn't sell me clothes and supplies, and finally it all came back to me.

Looking back, I can't stop crying.

Because I cared about her so much, I didn't dare to contact her when my grandfather had an accident, for fear that it would affect her, and the ancient book was helpless to entrust her.

But now I understand that she only touched me to spy on me. I hated her, hated why she didn't just take my jade pendant during that time.

If so, maybe not now.
