Chapter 3 Three wooden boxes
The underground passage is not as dim as expected, on the contrary, the walls are covered with luminous beads, making the whole passage appear brighter, even brighter than the passage behind the stone door.
Zhou Kun looked around, looking at such a large-scale scene, and marveled at how strong the Zhou family was.
In the memory information he obtained, the Zhou family was just a family that had long since declined, and the original patriarch, his father Zhou Tian, disappeared unexpectedly during a commercial trip six years ago and never came back.
It is rumored that he met a thief in the wilderness and killed him for his wealth.
As for Zhou Kun's mother, he didn't seem to have seen it in his memory, and Zhou's father never mentioned it.
When Zhou's father was still there, the Zhou family relied on trade to produce pages and became rich, it was not difficult to produce, but the difficulty was to export the pages, in the region between countries, there were too many powerful and terrible bandits, and even rumors of demon beasts were infested.
After losing the backbone of the Zhou family, Zhou Tian, and the powerful guards he took away, they gradually decayed.
Maybe it is because he has not been disciplined by his parents for many years, Zhou Kun has been mixed in a small academy where a group of gentlemen have gathered since he was a child, his personality has become cowardly due to low self-esteem, he is close to women by nature, he has no resistance in the face of beauty, or, his dream is to marry a peerless woman as a wife.
Just a few days ago, he saw Bai Ziyu in the academy where he studied, and he was shocked on the spot, and later spent some money to find out that this beautiful goddess was from another city and was a transfer student of the academy.
The point is that this young lady Bai Ziyu comes from a big family, the Bai family.
Zhou Kun knows his own family affairs, and now the Zhou family is no longer comparable to the past, if it weren't for his own genius sister, the Zhou family might have been gone.
Later, Zhou Kun secretly sent a love letter to Bai Ziyu, but there was no news, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
After that, he tried his best to find out that this goddess was quite interested in ancient books, he skipped class and returned home, rummaged through his father's study, and finally found an ancient book, but when he saw that the book recorded the word "genealogy", Zhou Kun lost interest, and he was not so stupid that he didn't know what genealogy was.
No matter how much Bai Ziyu likes ancient books, he will not be interested in the genealogy of his little Zhou family.
When he was bored and disappointed, Zhou Kun casually flipped through this week's family "Family Tree".
"Hey, the last page is yellow?" The genealogy records nothing more than some ancestral names and so on, but he found that the last page of the genealogy has a page that is obviously different from the color of other pages.
Curious, he turned the last page and was surprised to find the Zumi recorded on it.
"It turns out that there is a treasure lot on my Zhou family's ancestors, haha. Zhou Kun was pleasantly surprised, the first thing he thought of was not to inform the old housekeeper who had taken care of him since he was a child, as well as his sister.
He rushed back to the academy excitedly and informed Bai Ziyu of the news......
So there was the scene that happened before, not only did he almost give away his hidden treasure, but he also gave away his own life.
Thinking of this, the current Zhou Kun shook his head deeply, this Zhou Kun, who has the same surname and name as himself, has such a fate since he was a child, and he has no talent at all, no wonder he is so useless, what he has pursued in his life is to marry a beautiful woman as his wife?
However, now that he is here, everything will be different, the things in the treasure field should be enough to protect himself, not to mention the impression, the sister of the owner of this body seems to be quite favored by his teacher, and this teacher has heard that he also has a great background, otherwise it is impossible to protect the Zhou family from extinction to this day.
Zhou Kun walked forward, all the way spacious, the pearl light, at this moment his mood has changed, he feels as if he is walking a path to become an immortal, one step forward, there will be a different harvest.
It wasn't that he had an illusion, after taking dozens of steps, he saw the golden light in front of him, his face changed, and he quickened his pace.
At the end of the walkway is a small stone platform with a humanoid statue on it, and the golden light is the bronze mirror hanging from the statue's chest.
"This person is ......" Zhou Kun frowned slightly, although he was the champion of liberal arts, but it was not comparable to those old professors, he felt that this figure statue was very familiar, with black hair coiled up, long beard reaching to chest, hands to make jokes, but he raised his head and chest, as if looking at the sky.
I can't remember who this person is, it should be a historical figure that I don't often come into contact with.
Zhou Kun didn't think much about it, his eyes fell on an incense table in front of the statue, on which there were three small and large wooden boxes, the largest was as big as a book, and the smallest was like the earth's glasses case.
The three boxes are made of wood, although Zhou Kun can't see what wood is made of, but he feels that it will be precious wood on the earth in the future, and the box surface does not have any carved lines, but there are finely carved copper lock rings at the opening.
He picked up the largest wooden box, and by the light around him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked closely, he found that the copper lock Hao Ran was a dragon head.
Zhou Kun recalled what Zu Mi said: from the beginning to the end of the bloodline.
He had used the method described by Zumi to open the stone and open the underground passage, and now he had to use his own blood to open the wooden box.
"Why hasn't anyone come to open this treasure for so many years?" Zhou Kun stretched out his hand and put it on the largest wooden box, while muttering to himself, you must know that this ancestral secret is hidden on the last page of the family tree, and the color is so unique and conspicuous, why no one notices?
After Zhou Kun's wound that was about to solidify touched the wooden box, the box made a "pop" sound, and the dragon's mouth at the copper lock opened.
He slowly lifted the lid of the box, an old book lay quietly in the box, Zhou Kun saw the big words on the cover, raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth slightly.
"Zhou Yi"?" Zhou Kun took the old book out of the wooden box in surprise, although the book used oracle bone inscription, but he still recognized it at a glance, this is the famous "Zhou Yi" in the "Four Books and Five Classics", and secretly said that this Zhou family is the descendant of King Wen of Zhou?
But King Wen of Zhou is obviously surnamed Ji, how could it evolve into the surname Zhou?
put the old book "Zhou Yi" into his clothes, picked up the second wooden box, and opened it in the same way, just when the wooden box had just opened a gap, his eyes flashed, and a white light quickly burst out of the box, straight to Zhou Kun's eyebrows.
A sharp pain struck, and before Zhou Kun could continue to experience the severe pain, his eyes went black and he fainted.
Almost at the same time, the X2 generation in my mind also issued a warning,
"Drop, foreign spiritual power has been detected, do you resist it?"
"Detecting an alien spiritual force, do you resist it?"
"The host is already unconscious, and the defense system automatically starts ......"
"Drop, resist failure, system damage by 2 percent ......"
"Failure to resist, 50% of the damage to the system ......"
"The system enters a self-healing state, during which the system will not be able to be used normally. ”
This scene was only for a moment, and then everything fell silent, Zhou Kun passed out, but his body was still standing in front of the incense case, maintaining the posture of opening the wooden box.
At this moment, the tall statue suddenly changed.
The bronze mirror on the statue shook violently, and the golden light bloomed, gathering into a beam of strong light that passed through Zhou Kun's body.
......
"What's the matter, I've been gone for so long, but I haven't gained anything?" Li Zheng frowned.
"Keep walking. Bai Ziyu's face was also a little serious, she was born in a big family since she was a child, and she had heard of some once glorious big families, and she had the impression that the Zhou family had also shined in the primeval period, as for whether this Zhou family was the Zhou family in the ancient times, Bai Ziyu was also a little uncertain.
It stands to reason that such a huge palace heritage is all about showing that this Zhou family is the ancient Zhou family, but why is there nothing in the palace? Could it be that all of them have died out in the long river of history?
"Don't worry, legend has it that the real treasure is immortal, keep looking. Bai Ziyu's words to ease Li Zheng seemed to be telling himself.
"But it's been so long since I've been here, let's go all the way slowly, why hasn't that kid Lin Qi caught up yet, shouldn't he run away?" seemed to feel that Bai Ziyu's words made some sense, Li Zheng's mentality eased a little, and finally remembered that they still had a partner.
"Could it be that Zhou Kun's kid has changed something?" Bai Ziyu frowned and said suspiciously.
"Impossible, I've never heard of it, there are still examples of survival of people who have fallen into my Li family's outbreak, not to mention Zhou Kun's waste. Li Zheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he finally practiced the family heirloom and solved Zhou Kun with one move, but now he was questioned by Lin Qi and Bai Ziyu three times and twice, how could he not be dissatisfied at all.
"Search again, if Lin Qi is still in the future, let's go out and see what is going on. Bai Ziyu also realized that the man in front of him was notoriously conceited and narrow-minded, so naturally he didn't continue to discuss Zhou Kun's question, and turned around and walked towards the depths of the palace.
After a while, the two of them entered a large hall, and several cases were neatly placed on both sides, the most conspicuous in the middle, the case was obviously on a slightly higher step, in the honorable position, obviously the seat of the king.
What made Bai Ziyu and the two of them change color was that there was a bronze wine cup on the case, which was the only item that the two of them saw when they entered the palace, except for the table, and the wine glass was extremely new, and it was rare to be surprised.
"These tables and wine glasses are nothing short of nowhere, and the bronze glasses are as good as new. Bai Ziyu said.
"Probably a treasure. Li Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and reached out to grab the wine glass.
He didn't notice it, and the white seed jade beside him quietly took a few steps back.
"Boom" ......
There was a noise from underground, what seemed to be the sound of a mechanism operating, and the two of them clearly felt that the ground was trembling.
"What's going on?" Bai Ziyu frowned and asked, out of caution, when Li Zheng touched the wine glass, she quietly retreated, for fear of being involved, she didn't expect that a wine glass would cause such a big movement.
"I don't know, I can't pick up this wine glass at all, I just twisted it, and I ......" Before Li Zheng finished explaining, he seemed to think of something, and his face changed drastically: "Organ." ”
"Hurry back. The white seed jade had already retreated like a fly, and jumped lightly outside the main hall.
"......Boom" was another loud bang, the ground in the center of the hall was suddenly opened, Li Zheng felt the ground tremble more obviously, he finally gritted his teeth, his legs increased his strength, and finally jumped out of the door of the hall, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Hum" The ground slowly returned to calm, and with a strange sound of mechanism, a statue slowly rose from the ground.
Before the two of them could see the statue clearly, a figure stood in front of the statue, rising from the ground with the statue.
"Zhou Kun. Li Zheng exclaimed sharply.
