The disappearance of the jade slip means that the Candle family's promise to the mysterious person has been fulfilled for tens of thousands of years.

Compared with the excitement of Lin Zhihui and others, the mood of the candle torture is so excited that it is impossible to describe it in words.

This piece of Bi Yan Stone, which is enough to cause a war in the underworld, has finally become a thing of the Candle Family, what does this mean, how important it is, it goes without saying, it can be said that this is the hope of the rise of their Candle Family, at the moment he didn't care about anything else, waved his hand to put away the Bi Yan Stone, and casually instructed Candle Ying to entertain everyone, and then hurried out of the cave and rushed to the inner house.

After all, Candle Ying was not really lacking in heart, knowing that this matter must not be spread outside, and did not turn back to the front hall, but took Lin Zhihui and the three of them to his residence.

Trying hard to digest the information in the jade slip, Lin Zhihui was startled as soon as he raised his head, only to see four people surrounded by him, his eight eyes wide open, looking at him directly.

The corners of Lin Zhihui's mouth twitched, and he instantly had the illusion that he was a rare animal and was being watched in a cage.

"What did the jade slip say?Is there a clue to guide the way?" Candle Ying's eyes widened, looking at Lin Zhihui, and Bijie's Qian Qian behind him was also full of expectation, and even Qiu Shi's eyes had a faint look of curiosity.

Lin Zhihui's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something and stopped, of course, it was not that he wanted to hide his secrets, but whenever he wanted to say something, he would feel an inexplicable resistance, and finally he could only spread his hands helplessly: "The amount of information is too much, and for a while, I don't know where to start." ”

"Then pick up the key points. Bi Jie said very simply, "How can I find a guide?"

"There's a spell. Lin Zhihui recalled. The difficult pronunciation was still swirling in his mind, but his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't imitate it, only uttering strange syllables.

He finally saw something wrong, and said with some concern: "What's the matter? Could it be that there is something wrong with that jade slip?"

Lin Zhihui shook his head, with a helpless expression, this situation was the first time he had encountered it, and he really didn't know what was going on.

Qiu Shi raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Lin Zhihui's wrist and probed: "I'm negligent, your cultivation is not enough, and if you accept huge information again and again, it will inevitably be affected." ”

"Is it serious?Will there be any sequelae?" Candle Ying hurriedly asked, and Bi Jie also looked at Qiu Shi with some concern.

"It's a small problem, it's just a temporary phenomenon, and after a while it'll be fine. Qiu Shi waved his hand very casually, indicating that there was no need to worry.

At this moment, Candle Ying's body suddenly shook slightly, and the expression on his face changed, and after a while, he looked up at everyone: "Second Uncle asked me to take you to the forbidden land in the back mountain." ”

......

The forbidden land in the back mountain is the most private place of the Candle family, and only the current head of the family can enter, and no one is allowed to approach without special permission.

Bringing people from outside the family into the forbidden land is the first time in the world, and even Candle Ying herself, except when she was just born, only had the opportunity to set foot in the forbidden land after the last successful promotion.

Everyone followed Candle Ying in a big circle, and finally passed through a teleportation array and came to the periphery of the forbidden land.

Candle Torture had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the crowd appear, he led them into a stone room.

In the stone room, there are simple beds, tables, and chairs, and there are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.

"I didn't even know that there was a place like this in the forbidden land. Candle looked around, muttering to herself.

"This is where the mysterious man lived. Candle Torture explained, looking at Lin Zhihui, "You help my Candle family get the Bi Stone, my father was going to come over in person, but there were some changes in the ancestral land, it seems to be related to the Bi Stone, and the old man must go and deal with it personally." ”

Lin Zhihui raised his eyebrows slightly, although it was not very obvious, but he could feel that the attitude of the candle torture was obviously different from before.

Candle Torture didn't say much, turned around and groped by the wall for a while, opened a hidden gate, took out two boxes, one large and one small, and put them on the stone table, and everyone gathered around.

"The mysterious man once said that if anyone gets a jade slip, give him such a thing. Candle Torture stretched out his hand and pointed to the small square box, said to Lin Zhihui, and then patted another long box, "As for this, it is a portrait of a mysterious person left by the ancestors." ”

When Candle Ying heard this, she immediately leaned over and picked up the box, and when she opened it, it was a scroll, and on it was a brown-haired young man in a robe, who was looking sideways into the distance, and there was a strange beast with long hair squatting at his feet.

Everyone's expressions are a little incomprehensible, this painting is very expressive, the artistic conception is there, but what's the use of a background.

Candle Ying raised her eyebrows, and said dissatisfiedly: "Which ancestor is this, it's too unreliable, it doesn't even have a straight face, and this strange beast is too, with such a big tail, I don't know if I think it's a squirrel?"

"Don't talk nonsense. "Candle Torture raised his face, "Back then, in order to thank his benefactor, the ancestor wanted to paint his appearance and worship, but as long as he painted a specific appearance, it would always be damaged because of various things, without exception, either by fire or by blisters, and in the end only this one was preserved." ”

Hearing such an explanation, everyone was speechless, and it was true that the ancestor of the Candle family could not be blamed, perhaps it was the mysterious person who was unwilling to keep his appearance.

Since they couldn't find clues, everyone also lost interest in the portrait, Candle Ying casually put the scroll aside, and the lower half of the painting hung down, Lin Zhihui noticed that there was a diamond-shaped mark on the back of the portrait's hand, which looked familiar, and couldn't help but move in his heart.

"What are you looking at? Open the box. The voice of the plough sounded, interrupting Lin Zhihui's thoughts, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that everyone was looking at him.

Qiu Shi pushed the small box in front of Lin Zhihui and motioned for him to open it.

Candle Torture also seemed a little curious, it was left by the mysterious man, no one knew what was inside, he had also tried to open the box, but apparently it was also forbidden to be placed on it.

Lin Zhihui stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingers touched the box, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his temples, and a surging energy suddenly poured into his brain, and countless characters danced rapidly in front of him.

The muscles of his cheeks twitched, and Lin Zhihui opened his mouth uncontrollably, making strange and obscure sounds.

At the same time, the light of the box flickered, as if there was an invisible flow of energy, and the last bit of silver light converged in one place, forming a strange character, which slowly submerged into the box.

Click.

The closed lid popped open, and a flat, metal-shaped object lay silently in it.
