Chapter 57: Origin

Previous Chapter

It all started more than a dozen days ago.

In the ancient Buddha hall overflowing with sandalwood, the Nalan Golden Ring, which was sincerely praying, was disturbed by a sudden sound.

In an instant, the Tianyan Divine Skill in the body, Nalan Jinhuan looked around, and did not notice the figure. At this moment, it is already late at night, and even the maid has been broken away by her, and she is the only one in front of Guanyin with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

She got up silently, walked to the Buddha statue, and picked up the box on the ground.

It was this thing that suddenly fell from her eyes, but she didn't find out who left it.

is a master, Jin Huan secretly thought that what she could do without being noticed by her was definitely not an ordinary person. After all, it can't be the manifestation of the Bodhisattva with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

Nalan Jinhuan shook his head and opened the rather delicate wooden box in his hand at the same time.

A red light filled the entire hall, and the two blood-colored pills in Nalan Jinhuan's eyes shone brightly. She slammed the lid shut, this thing is not simple, Nalan Jinhuan thought, when she saw the contents of the box, a heartfelt joy and impulse arose. This is almost inconceivable for her who has cultivated Tianyan Divine Skill.

Nalan Jinhuan carefully put away the wooden box, and carefully inspected it again, there was no one on her head or around, and she confirmed that it was correct.

So, what exactly is this thing?

A few days later.

"Confirmed?" Nalan Jinhuan asked.

"Confirmed." Duan Xing said with excitement on his face: "What is written on the paper is right, this elixir does have the effect of rejuvenating and rejuvenating a broken arm!" ”

"It seems that the sky will not kill me." Nalan Jinhuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

"That's right," Duan Xing nodded, "Although I don't know what the people behind this curtain want to do, as long as I have this miraculous elixir, I, Nan Chu, will have a chance to survive this catastrophe." ”

"Of course," Duan Xing said again, "Even so, our move is like a knife dancing in the fire, and the slightest misery is likely to be a catastrophe." ”

"Teacher, what should we do now?"

"We're ready now."

"First, let's act according to the consciousness of the mysterious man first, after all, no matter what the purpose of the mysterious person is, it will be beneficial and harmless for us Nanchu."

"Secondly, I will secretly investigate the identity of this mysterious person, and if we are lucky enough to find it, we can turn against the customer."

"But I didn't even notice this person, how can I find him?" Princess Jinhuan's beautiful eyes were wrinkled.

"Didn't the princess forget to put the box of Jindan?" Duan Xing reminded.

"You mean the treasure box?"

"That's right," Duan Xing affirmed, "I originally wanted to look for clues based on the note left by the mysterious person, but I didn't expect that it was just a moment to put the note back in the wooden box, and the note disappeared by itself!" ”

"But that's why we're able to discover the secrets of this treasure box."

"This thing seems to be an ordinary wooden box, but in fact it is not gold and wood, even my sword qi can't leave a trace of scratches, plus the strange disappearing note, combined with the note, I'm afraid this treasure box is also an extraordinary treasure."

"But even so," Nalan Jinhuan said dejectedly, "we've never heard of any treasure boxes that can be taken out of thin air?" ”

"That's right, I think I've been traveling in the rivers and lakes for decades, and it's the first time I've seen such a magical item, but it's just such a world-shattering thing, why I haven't heard any relevant rumors before, it's incomprehensible."

"So how exactly are we going to find clues?"

"The lowly position is not sure," Duan Xing held the wooden box in his hand and looked left and right: "But the lowly position has an idea. ”

After the mid-moon festival, night.

"What's the result today? Teacher? "Nalan Jinhuan is a little weak.

"Let's not talk about this for now, I heard that you were handed over by Han Qiyun today."

"Then Han Qiyun is like a disgusting fly!" Nalan Jinhuan's little face pouted cutely.

"Ahem, it's really embarrassing for Her Royal Highness the Princess." Even if he is very familiar with Duan Xing and is a person with deep Buddhist scriptures, he still can't resist the beauty of Nalan Jinhuan, especially when she pouts, the beauty of the whole world will lose its luster at this moment.

"Now that we've been taken out of town, we have to hurry." Duan Xing, a monk in Tsing Yi, gathered his mind and took out a white handkerchief from his arms.

"Teacher, is there any news?" Nalan Jinhuan knew what was on the handkerchief, and his beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.

"That's right," Duan Xing replied, "At the beginning, I felt that the pattern on the treasure box was somewhat familiar, and I seemed to have seen this delicate pattern somewhere. ”

"So I rubbed the pattern on the box and secretly sent people to various carpenter halls in Lingjing City, and guess what the result was?"

"Well, there is nothing special about this pattern, but I feel that it is no different from what I usually see."

"Yes, Your Highness Princess, isn't it strange why such a treasure box would be familiar to us with the patterns on it?"

"Isn't it weird? Teacher, don't sell it, I'm not Yinyue, you can just say what's going on. ”

"Princess, don't worry, listen to me. We think this pattern is familiar because this pattern is a carved flower pattern commonly used in ordinary food boxes, but this pattern is naturally commonplace in food boxes, and it is very suspicious on this treasure box. And princess, you see, although they are all patterns, the patterns on this treasure box are fine and abnormal, and this is obviously not a food box that ordinary large families will use. Such exquisite craftsmanship must have come from everyone's hands. So I secretly visited the famous master craftsmen in the city, and the results were very unexpected. ”

Nalan Jinhuan looked at Duan Xing nervously and did not interject, and Duan Xing's eyes flashed, as if after thinking for a while, he said: "It turns out that most of the big families in the city are looking for carpenters to make food boxes, but most of them just look at whether they look good or not, and there are no other requirements. Only the richest and most picky people in the city will deliberately ask the master craftsmen in the city to order them, and even the wood and patterns will be carefully considered. And this kind of guests have a problem, that is, they don't like to use things that have been used by others, so although this kind of food box is also a pattern, the texture of each house is different. ”

"And in the process of my inquiry today, one of you recognized the pattern on this treasure box. I asked him to identify it carefully, and the result was that everyone told me very clearly that although there were some slight differences, the patterns on it definitely came from the food box he once made for a large family in Lingjing City. ”

Saying this, Duan Xing stopped again.

"What's the matter, teacher, this food box can't be used by the Great Zhou Emperor." Nalan Jinhuan half-jokingly.

Duan Xing shook his head slightly, "Alas, I was also very shocked when I knew, but then I thought about it and felt like it was." ”

Immediately afterwards, Duan Xing said the unexpected answer: "The pattern on this treasure box comes from the mansion of Zhong Tai, the former official of the Ministry of Shangshu Lou, who has been beheaded, and the one that involved us in Nanchu for no reason, so that we had to come all the way to this Lingjing to mediate, and now the building is empty, and there is nothing - the mansion." ”
