Chapter 14: The Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock
Chen Yunsheng said in his heart, it turns out that the reason why Cao Kun's whereabouts are important is also involved in such a matter, "Are the seven so-called artifacts still in the house?" Chen Yunsheng suddenly asked.
This sentence aroused the alarm of the young man behind the old man, "Why are you asking this?"
"No other, just curious. Chen Yunsheng said calmly.
"Only three of the seven artifacts remain, and the whereabouts of the remaining four have long been lost. The old man said gloomily.
Chen Yunsheng wondered in his heart, when he was in Taibai Peak, he once found a whisk of dust, which was engraved with the mark of the Seven Heart Exquisite Lock, although the grade had been greatly improved after opening, it had not reached the point of an artifact, at most it was a magic weapon. There is no secret method hidden in it.
Seeing Chen Yunsheng's expression frozen, the old man suddenly asked, "What's the matter, has the little brother seen the Cao family's artifact?"
Chen Yunsheng's heart froze, and he hurriedly said: "I haven't seen it, I'm just curious, how can the Cao family not be able to keep his family's treasures with such a great power?" If he said that he had played with it, he was really afraid that the other party would turn his face and not recognize people, so he would force him to find it.
"Hehe, if an outsider is stolen by an outsider, the old man really has no face to say this. They were all taken out by their own people, but the specific reasons were not enough for outsiders. The old man regained his spicy personality and spoke without leakage. Chen Yunsheng said in his heart, the Cao family has been passed down for twenty-two generations, and it seems that there are really a lot of secrets.
After a while, a clever subordinate came into the house with a tray in his hand. The old man lifted the red silk that covered it, and a carved longbow appeared in front of everyone. The old man held the longbow and handed it to Chen Yunsheng, he was very careful, as if he was afraid that he would use too much force and break the longbow.
Chen Yunsheng held the bow in his hand, and his two fingers swiped across the jet-black bow body, and a cold battle intent rose in his heart, it seemed that this bow had existed for a long time. He noticed that the bow was not capped and had obviously not been used for a long time. But apart from the battle intent, he really couldn't see anything special about this magic weapon. At the end of the bow, he had the mark of a small lock. Although it is small, it is very delicate and delicate, and it is the mark of the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock.
"The name of this bow is called Sunset, it is one of the artifacts, and please open the seven heart exquisite locks on it. The head of the Cao family said with a little guard.
Chen Yunsheng did not hesitate, his divine thoughts were poured into the bow, and a trace of spiritual yuan was output to it, and a burst of chaotic patterns burst into the air. He gently clicked the arc of light in the pattern, changing the path of light in it. The image in the air was immediately replaced by another picture, with the same dense lines and dazzling brilliance.
Chen Yunsheng clicked a few more light convergence points, and the picture changed again. His fingers are flying, and the picture changes one after another, which makes people feel dizzying. After a while, the picture in the air actually evolved into forty-nine changes, and after the last change, the scene returned to the bow.
At this time, the black bow burst out with a faint blue light, and countless lightning bolts traveled on the bow. The bowstring, which had been empty, was connected by an electric arc. Chen Yunsheng stretched out his hand to brush the arc, and there was no feeling of stinging. He playfully returned the sunset bow to the head of the Cao family, spread out his hands, and made a gesture of completion.
The old man stretched out his hand and kept stroking his bow, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement. Even his wrinkles carved like knives and axes revealed a hint of relief and emotion.
After a long time, the old man finally spoke, "I am Cao Yi, the twenty-second generation head of the Cao family. Since Your Excellency has proved your identity, then it is the distinguished guest of my Cao family, who is here, serving tea to your distinguished guest, and your distinguished guest is invited to take a seat. ”
Chen Yunsheng sighed in his heart, it turned out that only when distinguished guests came, the Cao family gave tea, and this family really had clear likes and dislikes. He thanked him and sat down in a drooping chair. Xue Li and Yi Xiaohu stood behind him.
Cao Yi smiled and asked politely, "I don't know the name of your guest?"
"Chen Yunsheng. I'm from the East China Sea. Chen Yunsheng replied.
"You said that there is news about the twentieth generation head of the family, can you reveal it?" Cao Yi asked.
"I am also related to Cao Kun's predecessors, and how to open the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock was also given to me by him, so I naturally have to inform the old gentleman about this matter. Chen Yunsheng took a sip of tea, only to feel a wood spirit between his lips and teeth, and his spirit was lifted.
"Oh, so it seems that the lower ancestor is still alive?" Cao Yi's face showed more surprise than when he saw the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock just now. If the twentieth generation head of the family is still alive, it will be a great thing for the Cao family.
"It's not like that. Although Chen Yunsheng couldn't bear to break the other party's illusions, he had to do it, "He has already died." ”
"Then why do you say that he once taught you how to pick a lock?" Although Cao Yi could not hide the disappointment on his face, the old man had already been mentally prepared, and it was not difficult to accept.
"Back then, I was trapped in a phantom dust space, and now the old gentleman's handwritten book learned some things about him and the Cao family. The old gentleman left the method of opening the Seven Hearts Exquisite Lock, so that I could come back and bring you a message. Tell you that he is gone. ”
Chen Yunsheng only knew at this moment that Cao Kun probably expected that this method would be lost, but it was very important, and it involved many secrets of the Cao family. Cao Kun is not easy to explain, but he has to say that he lied about this method as a token, so that the person who saw the news went to Cao's house to report the news, and then indirectly brought this method back. At that time, Cao Kun's good intentions made Chen Yunsheng admire.
"Where did his old man fall, but is there a body?" Cao Yi asked sadly.
"In the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, his primordial spirit was trapped in a spirit crystal and could not be released, and his corpse would probably have turned to ashes long ago. Chen Yunsheng took out a dense and solid phantom dust treasure wrapped in golden spirit silk from the Naxu Ring.
Cao Yi was so cultivated, the Divine Sense Illusion Dust Treasure turned slightly, and he only felt a strong suction, inhaling that divine thought, and couldn't help frowning slightly. He believed what Chen Yunsheng said, and the atmosphere in the room was a little sad at this time, and the young man standing behind the old man began to wipe his tears with his sleeve.
After a long time, Cao Yi said: "Thank you Chen Xiaoyou for being able to bring news from thousands of miles away, I wonder if my Cao family can help Your Excellency?"
"This," in the face of the other party's sincerity, if he made a request, he would be a little embarrassed, he thought for a while, but still said, "There are some puppets below, and after many battles, the damage is relatively serious. I heard that the Cao family has a deep study of magic weapons, and I want to ask the head of the family to find someone to help repair it. ”
After quietly listening to Chen Yunsheng's request, Cao Yi frowned. This expression was captured by Chen Yunsheng, and he felt that this matter might not be as easy as he imagined.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, I will definitely find a master who is proficient in this art to help you repair the puppet. But you have to give the old man some time. Cao Yi did not hesitate for a long time, and gave a definite answer.
Chen Yunsheng felt slightly strange, for this kind of refining master, is it a very difficult thing to repair the puppet? If he heard that the Cao family is relatively famous, even if he can repair it temporarily, he has repaired the eight Canglan Guards on Forgotten Worry Island back then.
At this time, the young man behind the old man suddenly spoke: "Brother Chen, don't misunderstand, but the Cao family has a master who is proficient in this way, but it is not easy to move." If you find a random person, it will be perfunctory. Brother Tai can know that the Cao family's output must be a high-quality product is not in vain. Either you don't do it, or you have to get the best if you do it. You can live in Cao's house for a while, and we can do our best to be landlords. ”
Cao Yi nodded and smiled: "I forgot to introduce, this is my grandson, Cao Zichuan." Don't leave in a hurry, you must stay at Cao's house for a while. ”
Chen Yunsheng wondered in his heart, if this person was a member of the Cao family, wouldn't he even give the face of the head of the family? Faced with the old man's hospitality, Chen Yunsheng smiled and refused: "There are other people in our group, if we live here, we will inevitably be separated from them. I'll just find an inn in the city, and I don't have to bother. ”
Cao Yi nodded and said, "Since the distinguished guest has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for us to keep it." Even if you stay in the hotel, I will find you when I find that person. ”
Chen Yunsheng couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart when he heard this, "But I don't know, is this master also a member of the Cao family? What is his name?"
Cao Yi is okay, after all, the old man has lived for hundreds of years. But Cao Zichuan couldn't hang up a little, his face turned red, and he said embarrassedly: "That person is my third brother, Cao Zijian." ”
Seeing the other party's expression, Chen Yunsheng knew that there must be something hidden in it, but it was inconvenient to ask again, so he said goodbye. When he came to the door of the Cao family, Xue Licai said in confusion: "Who is this Cao Zijian, why is it so difficult for the head of the Cao family to find him to do things?"
"I don't know about this, so let's find a place to live first. ”
Chen Yunsheng took his two juniors and walked on the streets of Ziyang City. It was a little dark, a cold wind was blowing, and there were fewer pedestrians on the street. After all, it was already late winter, and although the sun was strong at noon, the chill gradually rose at dusk.
Two women with beautiful eyebrows suddenly walked out of the sparse crowd on the opposite side, their expressions were a little displeased, and they looked back from time to time, as if they were angry with someone.
Yi Xiaohu shouted loudly: "Sister, Sister Furong, we are here." ”
After a long distance, I heard Jin Furong's crisp scolding, "Yi Xiaohu, you little bastard, see that my sister doesn't tear your mouth, you are not allowed to call me like this in the future." ”
"I know it's wrong, Sister Furong, I won't dare next time. Yi Xiaohu shouted apologetically. Although he looked sincere, Chen Yunsheng was very skeptical that Jin Furong would be able to see it from such a distance.
Xue Li laughed twice, he was really happy to see Jin Furong's bright face. Jin Furong was far away and saw the lover's smile towards her, and she couldn't help but smile brightly. When he got closer, he still didn't forget to pinch Yi Xiaohu's chubby face.
Yi Xiaoyun teased: "I didn't see you smiling all the way, I didn't expect you to save it? Leave it to Senior Brother Xue, you two are really weird." ”
Jin Furong was never willing to fall behind in the bickering, and she chuckled for a while: "You don't talk about me, but you have a sweetheart, and I don't know what will happen to Lu Dao." ”
Chen Yunsheng looked at the chuckling and disgusting appearance of several people, felt a burst of warmth, and said softly: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while, so let's stay here for a while." ”
