Chapter 10: Ancient Things

There was a sigh of embarrassment all around, which country's gifts are not treasures in the world at today's feast? It can be said that it is a collection of thousands of essences of the Qingchuan Continent in one family, even if everyone on the side of these rich people is extremely embarrassed at this time, so many rare and exotic objects come out one after another, dazzling and at the same time, it has increased a little greed in the past.

"What is Ruolan Bingqing's ring? This emperor is lonely and unheard, please explain one or two things to your envoy. ”

"This treasure is a pair of rings, which was carefully carved by a famous master craftsman six hundred years ago in his country for fifteen years, and the raw materials used are not very clear to the ministers, and the royal family of our country has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

A waiter had already sent the tribute respectfully to the Holy Emperor, and when he opened the wrapped brocade red silk, a small wooden box only about two inches high came into everyone's eyes. The wooden box is exquisitely made, with a miniature pearl inlaid at the top, and several small fish carved around it. Long Ao took the wooden box, pressed the switch lightly, and with a "snap", the lid of the box bounced up, and a cold breath erupted.

"It's so cold! Hehe, it's interesting. Don't wear it, this seems to be very beneficial to my Long family's 'Thunder King Jue', although the thunder is fire, but it is still on it, if the fire is too strong and then used improperly, the serious case will explode and die. This pair of rings is a good auxiliary treasure when refining qi. Your country has bothered a lot, come, give a glass of Baihua wine. ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

Envoys from various countries brought tributes one after another, ranging from gold and jewels to antiquities and scriptures, from tonic playthings to weapons and bows. Everyone was proud and at the same time able to win the favor of the Holy Emperor, and they all thought that it was really worth the trip.

At a banquet table of seven people on the left side of the front row, three people sat tightly together, whispering, their faces solemn, as if they were discussing something important. After a while, one of them straightened his robe, stood up, turned around and bowed deeply to the Holy Emperor, and said in Zhongzhou dialect, whose pronunciation was not very clear: "The Holy Emperor is well! Therefore, in addition to some gifts, there were two things that the minister brought for the Holy Emperor to look at, and with a wave of his hand, his companion took off a rectangular wooden box about three feet long and four inches wide from his back. It was handed to the waiter next to him.

Open. Long Ao replied lightly. Although it is a hundred countries to congratulate at this time, a festive one, and one is high, with divine skills, and nothing to fear, it is better to be careful. Who knows who was suspicious of those present, so he gave the order when the waiter was still three feet away from him.

The waiter cautiously went out and wrapped the thick brocade around the box, and suddenly an inexplicable aura instantly filled the audience, and a fresh breeze blew in the air around the wooden box, and then disappeared immediately. At this moment, behind Long Fang, Ruyue's delicate body suddenly trembled, Ruyue was startled, and almost exclaimed, because this was not her own feeling at all, it was a slight tremor from her back, to be precise, it came from a box about a foot long on her back. This wooden box is very tightly sealed and wrapped in brocade, and Ruyue usually carries it with her and regards it as a treasure. Because it was a special gift from the master before going down the mountain, and there was a solemn entrustment.

"Yue'er, this is a parting gift for the teacher. The age of the teacher has been more than hundreds, it can be said that the wood has been decayed, if there is no strange fate, the realm of the teacher to want to progress is almost slim, if the vitality of heaven and earth is a little stronger, hehe, it is not impossible to become a great power, but unfortunately the sky is jealous, not as I wish, hahahaha. Inside this box, it is a treasure obtained by encountering a strange fate and going through hardships when the teacher traveled back then, and after returning to study for many years, he has never been able to open it to find out. But the feeling tells me that it seems to be something ancient. According to the teacher's study of the fragments of ancient scriptures collected and studied, it seems that this object has a spiritual nature, and the rejected person cannot open it. It seems that this object has nothing to do with me, and I guess from the pattern and texture on the outside that it should be used by a woman. If you go down the mountain this time and take it with you, you may be able to solve this mystery by chance. But just in case, there is a good ............ for this thing not to be easily seen by others."

At this time, Ruyue had a strong impulse, especially wanting to grab the things held by the waiter in her hands, but her instinctive reserve was desperately suppressed, and her two small jade onion hands trembled slightly. Long Fang seemed to sense something, he looked at it, and found that Ruyue's cheeks were slightly red, and a pair of big eyes stared at the thing in the waiter's hand. Long Fang glanced around leisurely and found that no one was paying attention to the actions here.

What's wrong with this girl today? Are you interested in those two tributes? I don't know what is inside, why is she so out of shape, is it her original thing? Impossible, Haoning Country is at least more than 20,000 miles away from here, separated by several countries, and she has never been there at all. What is the reason for such a gaffe?" Long Fang didn't come up with a clue after all, so he had to move his attention to the two tributes again.

The waiter carefully lifted the lid of the box with both hands, and there was another gust of fresh wind in the air near the box, this time much larger than just now, mixed with a slight explosion, and several banquet tables near it shook a few times. The audience was suddenly silent, and they all looked at this thing in horror and inexplicably, and their curiosity cheered.

Lying quietly in the box lay a sheathed scimitar only half a foot long and a scroll. Compared with the three-foot-long wooden box, it looked nondescript, the scabbard was red, the scroll was yellow, and the old could not be old, and the old could not be old, and the voice of disappointment suddenly resounded throughout the audience.

Long Ao frowned slightly, as if he was thoughtful.

"May I ask Envoy Haoning, where do these two things come from and what is so special about them?"

"Back to the Holy Emperor, although my Haoning country is not big, there is one thing that is known far and near, that is, the country's specialty 'Qingjin Tile'. ”

"It's really good, your country's 'green gold tile' is famous all over the world, and even the roof of this palace is used a lot, but what does this have to do with these two things?"

"It takes a lot of red mud to burn and cast green gold tiles, and once a natural cave was found in the largest red mud producing area, Hongluowan, more than 100 zhang underground, and these two things were taken out from there. After six years of cracking by several scholars and scholars in our country, no clues were found. I was only sure that the scroll looked like a map, and the text on it was not owned by my Qingchuan Continent at all, and the scimitar had an inexplicable repulsive power, and it couldn't be touched. I am glad to hear that today's birthday of the Holy Emperor, the minister only asked my king at that time, it is better to dedicate these two things to the Holy Emperor, Zhongzhou has many talents, maybe you can see some clues. ”
