Now that we have Huagu Powder, there is finally a glimmer of hope. If Hei Li and Jin Zhuer can regain their strength, they may be able to escape.
Just when You Ya was feeding the two of them the elixir, she saw Yu Siling walking over holding a one-foot-square wooden box. Although there was a lot of dust on the wooden box, after gently brushing it away, it was covered with dust. The pattern is also exquisite and clear.
"Little liar, you are well-informed, can you see if you can open this box?" Yan Siling and Jin Zhuer found this thing on the shelf. After observing for a long time, they couldn't find any cracks, but they shook the inside of the box gently. There was a faint sound of impact again. At this time, Jin Zhuer was summoned by You Ya to take the antidote, and Yu Siling handed the box to Mu Fengchun.
Mu Fengchun took the box and felt it sink in his hands. It was much heavier than expected, but the box was still well preserved and the surface was very smooth and delicate. There was even a faint fragrance when he smelled it carefully. He originally thought that there was some kind of lock on the box, but looking at it through the light, the box looked like a dead lump of wood. No wonder Hui Siling would throw this problem to him.
Mu Fengchun flipped it over and over for a long time, and finally found a pair of small words in an inconspicuous pattern. When he looked close to the light, the pair of words became clear.
"Hidden... weapon..." Yu Siling also leaned closer and whispered softly, "Old liar, what does this mean?"
After Mu Fengchun saw these two words, his expression suddenly lost its previous relaxed expression. He solemnly placed the wooden box on the desk and bowed, and became careful with his hands. He pondered the box and said seriously. : "Little White Snake, have you ever heard of Zijun?"
"What about Zi Jun and Hong Jun...how do I know?"
"You should know about the Five Elements Cauldron, right?" Mu Fengchun rolled his eyes.
"nonsense!"
"..., let me tell you, old man, this Five Elements Cauldron is Zijun's refining treasure!"
"Oh... Having said all that, what does it have to do with this broken box? Just tell me whether you can open it. If you can't, I will let Jin Zhuer split it open with a sword!" Said, Yu Siling He was about to take the box away. Seeing this, Mu Fengchun quickly jumped up on the stage and protected the box in his arms: "How reckless! Little White Snake! This is a treasure, how can I allow you to be so blasphemous?"
"Give it to me!" "No!" "I found it first! Let it go!" "You won't let me go even if you beat me to death!"
As soon as Youya fed the two of them the antidote, there was a noise over there. She quickly came to the two of them and pulled Hui Siling aside. Mu Fengchun jumped off the stage with a hoarse grin.
"A'ling, I feel that Mu Lao'er must have his own ideas. Let's listen to what he has to say before we talk about our plans..." After finally figuring out the whole story, Youya also comforted her, having already become accustomed to the two of them arguing over trivial matters along the way. During the quarrel, Youya was too lazy to say anything.
"Humph!" Mu Fengchun snorted at Yu Siling, then carefully put the box back on the table, and then continued: "This Zijun is the number one blacksmith in the world, and he is even more famous for his ' The Three Weapons are extremely prestigious!"
"This first weapon is a 'forging tool', which is the treasure tool used by Zijun to forge things - the Five Elements Cauldron. I think you all should know that, so I won't say more!"
"This second weapon is called "Buqi", which is the collective name for the kinds of magical weapons that Zijun forged..."
"This third weapon is a 'hidden weapon'. It often contains precious materials needed for Zijun's refining, or rare weapons that he has made. The wooden box in front of you is one of them..."
"Then why are you hesitating, Jin Zhuer! Lend me your sword and let me see what kind of treasure is inside?" Hui Siling rolled up her sleeves and was eager to try.
"It's so stupid! It can't be carved! Do you really think this box is so simple?" Mu Fengchun stomped his feet angrily and hummed: "The treasures left by Zijun are of different shapes and sizes, but the same thing is the box. There are countless meteorite needles as big as ox hair hidden in the mezzanine! It's not a big deal if you accidentally hurt the things inside. I'm afraid that if you go down with your sword, this box will hit you with a heavy rain, and the rest of us will have no way to hide. , there is no way to avoid it, and it will definitely be shot into a hornet's nest. When the time comes, not only will the seven orifices bleed, but I'm afraid it will bleed from hundreds of orifices... even the gods will not be able to save him!"
After listening to Mu Fengchun's words, although Yu Siling was unwilling to be criticized, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed what he said, so she could only angrily find a corner and say nothing.
"Old Mu...are you serious about this?" Several people who were standing in front of the stage couldn't help but take a few steps back after hearing this, and their breathing became rapid.
"Although it's not absolute, it's very possible..." Mu Fengchun glanced at Yu Siling in the distance, his expression was a bit proud, and he whispered: "The so-called rainstorm pear blossom is just an exaggeration by me, it's not actually true. It’s not so dangerous, it’s just to piss off the little white snake... But even so, if you are a little careless, you will still cause unnecessary losses..."
"Then, should this box be opened or not?" Youya had no idea for a moment.
"This box is hidden here, and the contents inside must be rare. Of course I have to open it...but I need your help, my dear daughter!"
"It's okay to help you, but I'm not good at these things. I'm just afraid..."
"Don't worry, I know a little bit about this thing, you just need to follow my instructions, and... you are the only one who can open the box now!"
"how do I say this?"
"Although I know how to open it, I have no strength now. Like the third prince, I am really helpless. Even if the black raccoon is not unconscious, it is neither light nor heavy, so naturally it cannot be done. The little white snake has frizzy hair, which will only add chaos. Let’s not mention it for the time being; although Jin Zhuer has passed the test, it is difficult to grasp the sense of proportion... And I know that the people in Bixia Valley are the best at feeling the pulse and holding needles, so they are naturally very good at opening the wooden box. To make your inner strength Qiaojin, after all that, the important task will naturally fall on you!"
Youya nodded when she heard the words, walked to the wooden box, and followed Mu Fengchun's instructions, placed the pad of her left middle finger on the upper left corner of the wooden box, and pressed down along the vertical ridge...
"Everything in the world has its own unique veins. Slowly pour the energy into your fingertips and feel the subtle differences under your fingers..."
Listening to Mu Fengchun's words, Youya put her thumb against the first joint of her middle finger, as if twisting a silver needle, and slowly pressed down with her middle finger. Suddenly she felt a clicking sound coming from under her hand, and she felt anxious in her heart. , asked: "Old Mu, I feel... it seems like something has touched the circlip of some mechanism..."
"Children can be taught! You continue to move down three spaces, no more, no less, remember this!" Hearing this, Mu Fengchun's expression became a lot more nervous, and he inadvertently blocked Jin Zhuer, who was surrounding the left front side of the wooden box. Before, continued.
With three soft clicks from his hands, the wooden lattice dropped four points, and then there was a sound of silver needles falling from underneath, and silence returned after a moment.
"It's true!" He had been telling the truth for a long time, just to interfere with the judgment of others, so as not to worry them. Mu Fengchun wiped his sweat quietly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because the pattern looked very familiar to him, so he dared to make a bold guess, but he was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he stood in front of Jin Zhuer. Fortunately, everything Just as I thought.
"Mr. Mu, what should we do next?"
"Look, my dear! This wooden box is divided into nine palaces, which coincides with the Nine Palaces in Luoshu. The formula is: 'Wear one with nine shoes, three on the left and seven on the right, two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, and five is in the center.' You And by pressing the numbers in the formula one by one, you can unlock the wooden box!"
Youya nodded, and pressed the corresponding grids in sequence according to Mu Fengchun's explanation. Just after pressing the last grid, she heard a crashing sound coming from the box, and then the lid floated under the nervous eyes of everyone. stand up.
Mu Fengchun jumped on the table and carefully opened the lid. The box completely fell apart. As he said, the interlayer of the box was filled with black meteorite needles. Although these meteorite needles were very dangerous, especially Ya was very excited to collect these meteorite needles. After all, the silver needles she carried with her had been exhausted. These meteorite needles seemed to be specially prepared for herself.
"Another elixir! I thought it was some kind of treasure! That's unreasonable!" You Ya was putting the meteorite needle away like a treasure when she heard Mu Fengchun's displeased voice and looked into the box.
Under her gaze, Youya saw six ordinary jade vases wrapped in fine cloth in the middle of the box. She casually reached out and took out one. After shaking it gently, she heard a clanking sound inside, as if it contained some kind of elixir. generally. She twisted the cork, and two pills of different colors fell into her hand...
"Ah!...Why are there these two kinds of elixirs here?" Youya suddenly screamed when she saw these two elixirs, startling Mu Fengchun, and quickly threw away the jade bottle that she had just put in her arms. Go back, "Daughter, what's wrong? Is this some kind of poison?"
When Youya saw the people around her looking at her, she realized her gaffe and quickly explained: "These two pills are not poison... It's just that their refining conditions are complicated and the required materials are scarce. They have been removed from Bixia Valley." Lost, I didn’t expect to meet here today...it’s really unbelievable..."
"Then... aren't these two elixirs priceless treasures?" Mu Fengchun's eyes lit up, and he carefully held the jade bottle in his hands, "My dear, is this the legendary elixir that can bring the dead back to life?"
Youya shook her head and said: "That's not the case... The name of this light yellow elixir is 'Food Belly', and the name of this light black elixir is 'Shengjin'. Its main function is just to fill the stomach... Although it cannot bring the dead back to life, This situation may really save our lives..."
"That's all. Although it's not a treasure, at least you can't treat my Five Zang Temple badly!"
As he spoke, Mu Fengchun unscrewed the jade bottle and poured two pills into his mouth...
