Chapter 184: You are not the person designated by Old Man Zheng
Su Bei looked at her, not understanding what she meant.
"Subei, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. ”
Yuan Fen looked at Subei with apprehensive eyes and said, "Actually, I'm ...... I'm awake!"
Su Bei was stunned for a moment: "This is a good thing!"
But Yuan Fen's gaze was still apprehensive, and he said: "My genetic talent is called ...... 'beauty'. ”
Su Bei looked at her suspiciously, what do you mean?
Yuan Fen's heart trembled, gritted his teeth, his beautiful eyes revealed determination, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it on his face.
In an instant, the whole person seemed to have removed makeup.
The bright face suddenly dimmed.
The girl who regained her ordinary appearance in front of her was young and uneasy under the reflection of the blue dress.
The six senses of northern Jiangsu slowly turned.
"No wonder I always felt that something was wrong, and I thought you had been cast a witch. ”
He suddenly smiled and said, "It turned out to be a genetic talent!"
Yuan Fen looked straight at him and asked, "...... you Don't you dislike it?"
The girl's heart went up and down.
"Disliked. ”
Su Bei said seriously, "I dislike myself and almost fell for the beauty trick." ”
Yuan Fen's heart fluttered, this nasty guy.
"Let's go, go upstairs!"
She regained her confidence and climbed the stairs.
"Dad, I'm back!"
She rang the doorbell and shouted.
The door was pushed open, revealing a middle-aged man with the size of a bamboo pole, tall and thin.
"Girl, who is this?"
His gaze immediately fell on Su Bei's body.
If you change any parent, I am afraid that there will be this kind of scrutiny, with a hint of hostile gaze.
"Dad, this is my classmate, named Subei. He's coming to our house for something to look for you!"
Yuan Fen said first.
The gazes of the two men collided in the air.
Su Bei smiled humbly and said, "Hello uncle, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting." ”
"Come in and talk about it. ”
Yuan Fen's father opened the door and said.
The two entered the house and sat on the sofa nervously.
"Subei is right, this is my uncle's newly soaked Tieguanyin, you can taste it. ”
Yuan Fen's father looked at it a few times, seemed very satisfied, and poured a pot of tea.
"Thank you, uncle. ”
Subei politely thanked him, took a sip of tea, and felt that it was fragrant and fragrant, and the taste was pure.
"Good tea. ”
His eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but praise.
Yuan Fen's father glanced at him and asked in surprise, "Young man, do you know tea?"
People say that drinking tea is a state of mind, from which you can taste the ups and downs of life.
Therefore, most of the people who drink tea are social people who have experienced things, and few young people understand tea.
Su Bei smiled, he didn't understand tea, but Zhang Ergou did.
The skill files of this B-class boss have all been copied by himself. This includes the master-level "tea ceremony".
However, young people pretend to be less forced and do more.
He shook his head slightly and said, "Uncle, I don't know about tea, I just think it's delicious and refreshing." ”
"Hehe, you're being honest. ”
Yuan Fen's father's impression of him suddenly rose to a higher level, and he also took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Say, what's the matter with me?"
Finally got down to business.
Su Bei hurriedly sat up straight and asked, "Uncle, don't hide it, I recently inherited an electronic repair shop, and its original owner is Zheng Peiyuan. ”
Mr. Zheng Pei is the honorary principal of Qiushui High School, and he was hospitalized in the cardiovascular department of Qingteng Hospital 19 years ago. ”
"I found out about my uncle's elder, who used to work in the Qingivy Hospital, and was the attending doctor of the old gentleman. ”
"That's why I took the liberty to bother, I want to ask, have you heard of this person?"
Yuan Fen's father did not move, but as soon as his hand stopped drinking tea, the cup paused in front of his lips.
When Subei looked at it, could it be a play?
"19 years ago...... Zheng Peiyuan?"
The tall and thin man opposite looked thoughtful, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "It's a little familiar...... It seems that there is such a person. ”
Su Bei's heart tightened suddenly, did he find the right one?
"Uncle, the repair shop I inherited urgently needs to find the bequest documents of Mr. Zheng Pei. ”
He then asked, "I don't know if your elders have left a word?"
The tall and thin middle-aged man was silent for a few breaths, raised his eyes to look at Su Bei and Yuan Fen, and said, "You come with me." ”
The two looked at each other, not knowing why.
But Yuan Fen's father had already moved and walked towards the family's study.
They hurriedly followed.
The shelves in the study are full of books, from subsets of scriptures and histories to miscellaneous medical books.
Yuan Fen's father stood on tiptoe, tossed twice from the top of the bookshelf, and pulled out an old iron box.
The style of the box is very quaint, a bit like bronze, with nameless patterns carved on both sides.
The surface of the box was coated with a layer of reddish-brown medium, and if you didn't look carefully, you thought it was rust.
"Dad, I remember, this is the iron box I played with when I was a child, and then you hid it?"
Yuan Fen patted his head and shouted.
She had seen the tin box before, and had used it as a toy, but her father had taken it away.
"Yes, you still have an impression. ”
The tall and thin middle-aged man smiled with relief, "This is your grandfather's relic, said to be his friend's belongings, and he entrusted me to keep it when he was dying." ”
He patted the box and smiled, "I thought about it, and my friend I heard him mention it during the casual conversation, and his name was ...... Zheng Peiyuan. ”
Yuan Fen's eyes lit up and asked, "Dad, do you mean to say that this is what Subei is looking for?"
The tall and thin middle-aged man did not answer, and looked at Subei on the side.
"Uncle, can I take a look?"
Su Bei suppressed his excitement and asked.
He has an intuition that many of his current affairs are entangled with Zheng Peiyuan.
There may be more seclusion in this.
Yuan Fen's father nodded, handed him the iron box, and motioned to check it casually.
Subei received it.
The box surface has a cool texture.
The reddish-brown medium on it is like enamel lacquer, with light and shade, echoing the patterns on both sides.
"I'm afraid this is no ordinary box. ”
He secretly speculated in his heart, "It looks like an archaeological excavation object, an antique?"
Hands strained slightly, ready to open.
However, with the force of his two fingers, he lifted it out, but the iron box did not move at all, and it was not opened.
That's a little wrong.
He is an E-level **-type martial artist, and the strength in his hand is not a problem to overturn a car at will.
However.
I can't even open a small box!
Thinking of this, he looked up at Yuan Fen's father, could it be that this iron box is so particular?
"Hehe, you found out. ”
The tall and thin middle-aged man showed some appreciation in his eyes, and said with a slight smile, "This iron box was already locked when it was handed over to me. ”
He reached out to the side of the tin box, where there was a three-finger-wide lockprint.
Two gray knobs protrude in the middle of the lock.
"I asked my father how long this iron box will be kept?"
The tall, thin middle-aged man sighed, "Until one day, he said, someone will be able to open the lock on it." ”
He didn't say anything further, but Su Bei and Yuan Fen understood that if someone could open the lock on it one day, then that person would be the inheritor of the box.
"A bequest document, not gold jewelry, needs to be so serious?"
Su Bei secretly complained.
He couldn't figure out Zheng Peiyuan's intention to do this.
Could it be that this box has other meanings?
He reached out and pressed the round button on the lock seal, and there was a slight "click" sound, as if there were delicate brackets and gears operating inside.
"The style of this lock...... Familiar?"
Su Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, recalling the knowledge in his mind, and it was not long before he was fixed on a miscellaneous study of Zhang Ergou.
I have to say that this Zhang family's successor is a treasure trove of life.
Astronomy and Geography, Yin and Yang Bagua, Science and Technology, Humanities and Arts, Arts and Crafts, Miscellaneous Grains......
All of them are involved.
Subei has already received countless benefits from him, and each time he has a new understanding.
The quaint lock mark in front of him has some records in Zhang Ergou's knowledge.
This kind of lock is called "yin and yang lock".
The two round buttons in the middle, with subtle patterns on them, represent a yin and a yang.
The way to open this lock is to press the two round buttons of yin and yang in a specific order.
Thus, the intersection of yin and yang, activates the mechanism in the lock, and opens the core door in the lock.
The inheritance of this yin-yang lock is very ancient, and it is said that it already existed during the time of the Yellow Emperor Chiyou.
It is recorded in "The Inner Biography of the Yellow Emperor" that the Yellow Emperor cut down Chiyou, and the Xuannu was in front of the imperial Si Nanche, and the drum car was behind in the record.
Legend has it that the guide car that helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chiyou used the setting of the Yin and Yang Lock.
If you are not a person who knows the key of yin and yang, even if you get the guide car, you will not be able to drive it smoothly.
The effect of this yin and yang lock on the guide car is like the ignition key in the car now.
Yuan Fen's father saw him staring at the iron box in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Subei, have you ever seen this kind of lock?"
This inquiry immediately woke up the thoughtful northern Jiangsu. Yuan Fen also looked at him curiously.
"Uncle, I took a closer look. This lock is somewhat similar to the description in a book in our Qiushui High School library. ”
Su Bei made up a reason and said.
The other two suddenly became interested and asked, "Oh, tell me, what kind of lock is this?"
They were a little surprised, the young man in front of them seemed to be more knowledgeable than they imagined.
"You see, this lock seal has yin and yang patterns on it, and two round buttons occupy the yin and yang positions. ”
Su Bei pointed to the lock seal and said, "This kind of lock is called the Yin and Yang Lock, which is rumored to be a product of wisdom in the Yanhuang period and was used to guide the car, so it is also known as the Xuannu Lock." ”
Both of them heard it for the first time, and when they saw that he was right, they couldn't help but believe it.
"Subei, can you open this lock?"
Yuan Fen clapped his hands and smiled, narrowing his crescent-like eyes, full of admiration and tenderness.
Su Bei shook his head and said, "Although there are only two variations of this yin and yang, they can be stacked layer by layer, and there is no limit. If you don't know the key, it's hard to get to the top. ”
He was a little worried, how could Zheng Peiyuan leave such a bequest.
"Young man, you can't blame me for that. ”
The tall and thin middle-aged man smiled, "I found something for you, but you can't open it yourself." This shows that you are not the person designated by Old Man Zheng!"
As he spoke, he was about to take back the iron box.
Seeing that the clue is right in front of you, do you want to miss it like this?
Su Bei was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please let me try it once." ”
