The outer layer of boxes is made of wood and is mainly used to protect the cargo. After tearing off the seal and pushing open the lid, there was another layer of boxes inside, but it was made of iron. The iron and wood were tightly stuck, so Hu Zhuo tried a few times and simply removed the outer wooden board.
The disciples who kept the shop diligently collected the wooden boards and stacked them against the wall.
"Brother, this iron box looks very heavy, and it doesn't even have any cracks. What is this?"
Hu Zhuo looked around a few times and smiled: "This is a mechanism box."
The disciple who was guarding the store nodded repeatedly. I couldn't see the machine box.
Speaking of which, the art of mechanism is not mainstream in the Xiaoli world, and no sect as big as Chaohua Sect has delved into it.
Those who study mechanism techniques have only heard of Qianji Pavilion.
"Brother, how do you open this box? What should be put in this kind of box?"
Hu Zhuo smiled and said: "This box itself is a gift."
It was a very nice gift to him. Brother Chun was really kind to him.
Hu Zhuo squatted down, carefully observed the structure, and began to solve the puzzle.
There were no customers in the store at the moment. The disciple who was guarding the store was facing him across the box, moving as he moved. There was no crack in this thing. Could it really be opened?
After looking at it for a long time, Hu Zhuo tentatively patted the box here and there and pressed it there.
The disciples guarding the store were confused and couldn't understand it at all.
After knocking on all five sides and finding nothing, Hu Zhuo stared at the ground thoughtfully: "Stay back and I'll turn it over."
Lift it with both hands, okay, but it’s so heavy without lifting it?
"Senior brother, let me help you. Four strong men worked together to carry it in."
The two of them used all their strength to push the flat box up and raise the bottom.
Oops, this side is full of seams. The seams on this body are all along this side. If I had known better, I would have turned it over first.
The disciple who kept the store felt that this was intentional on the part of the sender. Playing tricks on people.
Hu Zhuo frowned, that shouldn't be the case. Why is there only one side with no seams on the other sides? What kind of agency is this? Does it look like a multi-pleat bun that is pinched in all directions?
Hu Zhuo squatted down to dig at the seams. The storekeeper held his knees and glared: "It looks hard. I'll get you a chisel." After that, he walked to the shelf.
The items in their grocery store are miscellaneous, and they are all second-hand goods that are not used by Chaohua Sect disciples. The collections of young disciples are diverse, many of which are things that are not used on daily basis and are products of impulsive consumption.
At this moment, Hu Zhuo dug his fingers into a deeper seam. There was a half-moon arc at one end of the seam, like a button. Hu Zhuo pressed it without thinking.
The disciple who got the chisel turned around and said, "Master - ah ah -"
The big black box suddenly unfolded and rushed towards Hu Zhuo. The speed was so fast that Hu Zhuo had no time to react before he was swallowed in one gulp. The hard texture suddenly turned into hard leather, and the human figure was wrapped around it and struggling on the ground.
There was a clang, and the chisel fell to the ground. The disciple guarding the store had a stiff mind but instinctively took out his sword and struck it with a strike.
Snap - choke -
Half of the sword tip fell to the ground.
This, this, this—
The disciple who was guarding the store shouted: "Come quickly, help me, the monster is eating people——"
He threw himself at the door of the store and shouted twice before he came back to his senses. He immediately contacted the patrol team of Baopingfang: "Come for help, Hu's grocery store, the monster is eating people——"
If you think about it, you have to contact the sect: "Come quickly, senior brother Huzhuo has been plotted against, in the grocery store -"
He held the communication jade and walked around in circles: "No, no, no, I, I, I have to contact my aunt, yes, my aunt, my aunt, my aunt - I can't contact you!"
How could he have Hu Qing's contact information?
Just send a group message: "Senior Brother Huzhuo was eaten by a monster in the grocery store. Someone tell my aunt, I can't do it anymore——"
After a series of summonses were sent out, a group of people gathered at the door of the store. Fortunately, he still had the sense to stop them and glared angrily: "No one is allowed to enter unless they are members of the Chao Hua Sect!"
The Hu Family Grocery Store was quite famous, and people who were afraid of Chao Huazong stopped outside the threshold and pointed inside.
The disciples guarding the store were milling around on the ground at the door, still not coming, not coming, not coming yet——
People are coming.
The patrol arrived first: "What - something?"
I was going to ask what was going on, but I was stunned when I saw something on the floor in the house.
The original big black square box suddenly exploded and was cut into pieces, and now it turned into a long, flat and wide box with a bulge in the middle - I don't know what it is.
It's still motionless!
Could it be that Senior Brother Huzhuo inside——
Before the disciples guarding the shop could explain a few words, someone from the task hall also came, but it was Yin Ning who led the team.
"What's this?"
The disciple guarding the store opened his mouth to say something, but the air twisted and Wen Chuan jumped out.
Yin Ning: "Senior brother?"
Wen Chuan looked at the ground: "What is this?"
"Let me speak!" The disciple guarding the store raised his hand, requesting that he be allowed to finish all at once this time.
Wait until he finishes——
"So who sent this?"
"I don't know." The disciple guarding the store was puzzled: "Looking at Senior Brother Huzhuo's expression, he seems to know."
Wen Chuan: "You didn't ask him?"
The disciple who was guarding the store was short of breath for a moment. I am just a hired worker who guards the store. Besides, it is not polite to ask people about their personal affairs.
Yin Ning was already inspecting the weird thing, and she reached out to touch it.
"Don't touch."
"Don't touch."
The disciples guarding the store and Wen Chuan spoke out together.
"Senior Brother Huzhuo was suddenly eaten when he was picking at the seam on his head." The disciple guarding the shop asked Wen Chuan for instructions: "Should we tell Auntie?"
Wen Chuan's scalp felt tight and he immediately contacted his master for instructions.
Immediately, Yu Liuya came out of the air, frowned and looked at the weird thing, which he had never seen before.
The disciple who was guarding the store was very excited when he saw the sect master: "That, senior brother Hu Zhuo said it was a mechanism box."
organ?
Yin Ning immediately thought of something: "Did Qianji Pavilion Liuyang look for him before?"
Disciple guarding the store: "Ah? I don't know."
Yu Liuya's face darkened: "Has Liu Yang been here?"
Wen Chuan reported back: "I've been here before. I showed up at the mission hall in Fangli and tried to win over Hu Zhuo, but he rejected him. The group stayed for a few days, and when they finally left, Liu Yang took a child of the Zhong family with him."
"She must have done it." Yu Liuya said bluntly.
Wen Chuan: "." Although I think so, are you too arbitrary?
He said: "Master, do you want to tell my little uncle?"
"Your junior uncle is in seclusion. We just need to rescue Hu Zhuo."
He sensed that Hu Zhuo was still alive inside, but the situation was not good.
Yu Liuya stretched out his hand to cover it. His spiritual power and consciousness were explored at the same time. He frowned and was bounced back. What kind of material is this?
He couldn't recognize it. He took out his sword and slashed at the edge. There was a clang. The sword was fine, and neither was the strange thing.
He pondered for a moment, then wrapped it up with spiritual power and lifted it up. He was surprised to find that this thing was quite heavy.
"Go back to the sect."
The grocery store was closed. In less than a day, rumors of a man-eating monster appeared in Baopingfang spread everywhere. Even the mortal area knew about it. Many people locked their children at home and were not allowed to go out. People's hearts Panic.
But all the powerful people in the Chaohua Sect were helpless against the strange thing.
