Chapter 13: The Mysterious Iron Box
Full of hope, the two opened the iron door to the last chamber. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the door opened, Yun Mofan was immediately the first to rush in, and when he saw the inside of the secret room, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and shouted in frustration: "What's the matter, what about gold, where is my jewelry, why is there nothing?"
Ye Siqin also saw the situation inside, shook his head, and said with a smile: "No matter how much gold there is, it may not be as valuable as this thing!"
With that, he stepped forward and came to the center of the secret room, where a stone platform was also erected, like the first secret room, and in the middle of the stone platform was placed a small iron box engraved with a mysterious pattern.
Picking up the iron box, Ye Siqin was not in a hurry to open it, but flipped through it and looked at it carefully. Yun Mofan also came up at this time and asked, "This little box is so small, how much gold can be put in it?"
On this small iron box, there are some wonderful patterns engraved on all sides, non-flowers and non-wood, non-humans and non-beasts, but they give people a mysterious and mysterious feeling, Ye Siqin looked at it for a long time, and could only vaguely feel that these lines seem to imply some indescribable and unclear mysteries, but he can't think of what these patterns represent!
This small iron box is tightly sealed, there is no gap at all, and there is no lock on the surface, Ye Siqin shook it up and down a few times in his hand, obviously feeling what was placed inside, but he didn't know how to open it.
"It's strange, this box is so tight, how did the ancestor of the Yun family put things in?" He looked at the small iron box in front of him helplessly, and couldn't help but think in his heart, thinking about all the secret techniques he had seen in his previous life, and he couldn't think of how to open it.
"Fat man, take a look, do you have any impression of these patterns?" Simply, he handed the iron box to Yun Mofan and asked him.
Yun Mofan flipped it a few times, then handed the iron box back to Ye Siqin's hand, and said: "I haven't seen it, anyway, this box is so light, it definitely can't put much treasure, even if it can't be opened, we have so much money, it's not half a star!"
Ye Siqin rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to say anything more to this fat man who regarded money as his life, he took the box and put it in front of him, and continued to think.
These carvings, could it be that the mystery of opening the box lies in these lines?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Siqin's heart, and a conjecture suddenly came to his heart.
In his previous life, he seemed to have read in some classic book that some ancient families used a bloodline secret technique to preserve some important things in order to prevent future generations from losing their secret treasures, and if future generations wanted to take it, they had to use their own blood to open the seal.
Could it be that this locket is also something like this?
"Fatty, stretch out your hand!" Ye Siqin said to Yun Mofan.
Yun Mofan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand according to his words, and asked puzzledly, "What are you doing...... Damn, you're crazy? Oh, it hurts me......"
Ye Siqin ignored his screams, held his hand firmly, and aimed the wound in the palm of his hand that he had just cut with his sword at the iron box, and the blood in the wound continued to drip on the iron box.
As Yun Mofan's blood dripped in drop by drop, the lines on the iron box finally moved, as if they had become alive, and the blood slowly flowed along the lines, and gradually, those lines also swam slowly like a snake.
Seeing the magical scene on this iron box, Yun Mofan also stopped howling, stared at it with wide eyes and curiosity, and said in a loud voice: "This...... This thing turns out to be opened with blood,, why don't you kid use your own blood?"
Ye Si stared at the iron box intently, and said slowly in his mouth: "My blood is useless, this is left by your Yun family ancestors, only your blood can open the iron box!"
In the time between the two of them talking, the lines on the iron box slowly gathered together, forming a whole group, only to hear a "horn click", and the lid of the iron box suddenly popped open.
"yes, it's finally opened!" Yun Mofan exclaimed excitedly, and then seemed to remember something, and turned his head to stare at Ye Siqin: "Little Yezi, how do you know to open the box in this way?"
Ye Siqin said calmly: "Guess!"
"Uh...... It's strange to believe you!"
In the box, there was an old book, Yun Mofan saw it, his expectations suddenly came to naught, and he pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "I knew that there would definitely be nothing valuable in it!"
Ye Siqin took it and looked at it, turned a few pages, and sure enough, this ancient book was empty and there was no handwriting.
He smiled at Yun Mofan disappreciably, this smile suddenly made Yun Mofan's heart chill, and he jumped up: "No, you want to use my blood again?"
"Clever!" Ye Siqin snapped his fingers approvingly, and grabbed Yun Fatzi's injured palm with lightning speed: "Hurry up, while the blood is not yet scarred, otherwise, you will have to cut it again!"
Yun Mofan's original struggling action immediately stopped, what kind of joke, cut one more, it won't hurt to kill a person? Forget it, anyway, I also cut a knife, and the blood also flowed, and I didn't care about the drop and half of it.
Soon after, he regretted this generosity, there were so many pages of this book, each page squeezed a little blood, the whole book was soaked with blood, he felt that most of the blood in his body was squeezed out, he couldn't stand steadily, he was dizzy, and he wanted to vomit!
When the whole book was soaked in Yun Mofan's blood, Ye Siqin opened the book, and sure enough, under the blood soaking, the handwriting with an obvious antiquity was slowly revealed on the pages of this ancient book.
Yun Mofan lost too much blood, he had no energy for a long time, and he had no interest in this ancient book, only Ye Siqin was full of curiosity, flipping through the book page by page, half an hour later, Ye Siqin sighed, closed the book, and smiled mysteriously at Yun Mofan: "Fatty, this time, you are really going to be developed!"
..............................
Tiefeng Town, Autumn Mansion.
Lie Rulong was dressed in a fur suit, and his kimono was lying on a chaise longue, shaking the paper fan in his hand unhurriedly, and his legs rested horizontally on the jade legs of a young girl, this girl was pure and moving, but her pretty face was full of nervousness, her blushing face hung helplessly, and a pair of small hands were gently massaging on Lie Rulong's calves in fear.
Perhaps it was the girl's uneasiness that made the strength in her hands poorly controlled, Lie Rulong's eyes were slightly closed, and he snorted unhappily, and said lightly: "Someone!"
"Here!" several tall, strong-clad warriors poured in outside the door, bowing to the fierce dragon.
Lie Rulong pointed at the frightened girl and said, "I've rewarded you, and after I use it, I will sell her to the Stunning Building!"
"Thank you, young master!" The samurai were overjoyed, and without saying anything, they grabbed the moving girl with a pale face, and as soon as a few people lifted it, they carried the girl out.
The girl trembled with fright, and didn't dare to struggle in the slightest, so she could only cry desperately and beg: "Young Master Lie, please, spare the slave and maid, please......"
Lie Rulong closed the paper fan, didn't look at the girl, and his tone was indescribably calm: "I can't even beat my legs, what's the use of me keeping you?" Shaking his head, he looked ahead with a calm attitude, and asked softly: "Is there any news from Yunjia Village?"
Not far in front of him, several disciples of the World-Breaking Sect heard the girl's crying farther and farther away, and they also felt chilled in their hearts for the tragic fate of this girl.
"Huh?" Lie Rulong frowned, and a wave of awe-inspiring killing intent went straight to the hall: "A bunch of waste, Tiemufeng should have attacked Yunjia Village at night yesterday, why haven't you received a report until now?
The disciple of the World-Breaking Sect hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Senior Brother Lie, don't worry, I have already arranged it, it is estimated that in a few moments, I should be able to receive a response!"
As soon as the words fell, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a disciple of the World-Breaking Sect walked hurriedly, his body covered with dust from running all the way, and his cheeks were covered with beads of sweat.
"Senior Brother Lie, the big thing is not good, the second leader of the bloody thief, Tie Mufeng, and sixty-two of his subordinates, in a forest outside Yunjia Village, were all killed, and no one survived!" The man was panting, his face full of panic.
"Huh?" Lie Rulong sat up from the chaise longue and looked at the audience coldly: "What's the matter?"
The disciple of the World-Breaking Sect took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the churning qi and blood in his body, swallowed his saliva, and replied: " Early this morning, Senior Brother Li saw that there had been no news from Yunjia Village, so he asked me to go there to check, but when I got there, I found the bodies of the bloody thieves in a forest not far from Yunjia Village, I took a closer look, there were a total of sixty-three people, of which forty-eight were killed by traps, and the rest, looking at their deaths, most of them were stabbed to death with a sword, and many of them were directly cut off with a sword!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room let out a cold snort in unison, sixty-three people, all of whom were killed, this ...... Who has the ability to wipe out all these murderous and bloody thieves without realizing it?
"I also went to Yunjia Village to take a look, and found that the entire Yunjia Village was the same as before, without any disappearance, looking at their appearance, I didn't know that such a big event happened in the woods last night!" the World-Breaking Sect disciple continued.
All the disciples of the Breaking World Sect looked at each other, and a chill appeared in their hearts one by one, even Lie Rulong frowned, and he couldn't say a word after being silent for a long time.
