Chapter 38: The Box (Part 4)
What Shen Ping saw was nothing else, it was the package wrapped in red cloth that his mother had prepared to give to his aunt.
Shen Ping looked at the thing, and then asked curiously, "Mom, what is this?" I remember last time, you looked like you were going to use it as a gift? ”
The mother looked at Shen Ping's line of sight, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Hey, in fact, I don't know what is in this." ”
"You don't know?" Shen Ping couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Then you want to give it as a gift?" ”
Mother Zhang Lan smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Actually, this is something left by your grandfather back then, and he never let us open it in the past, so some people say that it may be some valuable antique." ”
"At that time, our family really couldn't get any good things, so my mother thought, take this to your aunt, in case there is really some valuable antique in it, the other party may look at its face and help us......
Speaking of this, her mother Zhang Lan stopped talking, and the expression on her face seemed to become a little gloomy because she recalled that unpleasant incident.
"Hey, forget it." Mother Zhang Lan smiled bitterly, and then said, "Since it is something left by your grandfather, then let's keep it, if it is really a valuable antique, we will keep it down, maybe one day, we can solve our family's urgent needs." ”
When Shen Ping heard this, he also nodded heavily, and then said with a smile: "I know Mom, you come down, I'll come." ”
Mother Zhang Lan responded, then climbed down from the stool and said with a smile: "Then you can get it, Mom will cook for you and your father." ”
Then he walked outside.
Shen Ping smiled at his mother's departing figure, and then reached out to get the red cloth package.
But the moment Shen Ping's hands touched the box under the red cloth, he suddenly felt a hot sensation coming from the jade pendant on his chest.
Shen Ping screamed when he was burned, and then quickly took off his clothes to check.
Shen Ping found that the place where he was wearing the jade pendant on his chest had been faintly burned into dark red at this time.
What surprised him even more was that when he looked at the dragon-shaped jade pendant given to him by the hidden master, he was stunned to find that the jade pendant that was originally white like congealed fat before had turned dark red at this time.
Red as the sunset, red as blood.
"This ......"
Shen Ping couldn't believe his eyes.
Why did the jade pendant, which was originally as white as snow, suddenly change color?
And what happened to the sudden burning sensation just now? I've been wearing this jade pendant for a few days, but nothing like this has ever happened.
For a while, Shen Ping was also a little dazed.
He couldn't help but look at Yu Pei again and look at it carefully.
This jade pendant is exquisitely carved and delicate, and you can know at a glance that it is not an ordinary object.
And Shen Ping remembered that when the hidden master gave him the jade pendant, he had said to himself that he should cherish this jade pendant very much, because when he encountered a very critical moment, this jade pendant could save himself from fire and water.
Of course, Shen Ping knows that his current strength is that dozens of people can't get close to him, so what does the other party mean when he says that he can save himself from fire and water?
Could it be that it means that this jade pendant has a special origin?
Thinking of this, Shen Ping couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that if there is a chance, it is time to investigate the origin of this jade pendant!" ”
Shen Ping was thinking, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at the box wrapped in red cloth on the side.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly patted his forehead and said to himself: "By the way, this jade pendant has never had a fever or discoloration before, but it suddenly happened today, could it be related to this box?" ”
Shen Ping thought as he held the jade pendant, and tentatively stretched out his other hand to the box under the red cloth.
Sure enough, at the moment when Shen Ping's fingers just touched the box under the red cloth, the jade pendant in his hand actually started to heat up again, and with the scorching feeling, there were bursts of red light.
"It's true?"
This scene simply stunned Shen Ping.
He was just guessing, but he didn't want it to be like this!
Could it be that this box has nothing to do with this jade pendant? Otherwise, how can there be a reaction between them? Shen Ping thought suspiciously.
Perhaps, in this box, there is a secret about this jade pendant!
Maybe the secret of the hidden master is hidden in this box.
Shen Ping remembered that he had been practicing with that master in the mountains for ten years, but for ten years, he had never even seen the true face of the other party.
Even, Shen Ping didn't even know the other party's appearance, name, and age.
And if this box really contains the secret of the hidden master, it will really solve his curiosity for many years.
Thinking of this, Shen Ping's curiosity flooded like a tide, and he couldn't help but look at the box under the red cloth again, and then slowly lifted the red cloth, ready to open the box.
