Origin

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan had made up his mind, Wang Xinran did not continue to dissuade him and followed Wu Zhongyuan to the second floor.

There is a saying that skilled people are bold. The reason why they are bold is because they have confidence in their hearts. Wu Zhongyuan's senses were extremely sharp at this time. Although he did not go upstairs, he could roughly sense the situation on the second floor. There was no abnormal smell on the second floor, and it shouldn't be. There are traps.

Wu Zhongyuan walked up the stairs slowly, and Wang Xinran followed behind. He walked very steadily, but Wang Xinran was walking on thin ice. Her common sense told her that these wooden stairs could not be real. If they were real stairs, they would not last for thousands of years. , even hundreds of years have already turned into decay.

Seeing her walking tremblingly, and looking down at the stairs from time to time, Wu Zhongyuan guessed what she was thinking, and said casually, "Everything in this place was condensed by the ghost prince's spiritual energy. As long as the spiritual energy does not dissipate, these things will not be damaged." .”

There were not many steps on the stairs. As they spoke, the two of them arrived on the second floor. The layout on the second floor was also very simple. There was a bed and a dressing table in the area against the wall. There were tables and seats in the middle of the room, and a dressing table. The stage shows that this should be a boudoir where a virgin lives. The boudoir of ancient women is different from the boudoir of women in later generations. The layout is relatively simple, there are no mountains of clothes, and there are not so many messy cosmetics.

The bed curtain does not refer to the bed, but the curtain surrounding the bed. There is a bed curtain but no bed in the room. There is a large iron box where the bed should be placed. The iron box is not square or rectangular. , but is similar to an egg shape, much like a large silkworm cocoon, and the decoration on the outside of the iron box is also a silkworm cocoon texture.

There are two iron boxes outside the bed curtain. These two boxes are not big in size, only two feet square. They are both square. The two iron boxes have been opened and placed in an irregular position. There are mops on the floor. Judging from the drag marks, the two boxes were originally placed on the left and right sides of the oval iron box.

After a short observation, Wu Zhongyuan stepped towards the bed curtain. The first thing he looked at were the two opened boxes. One of the boxes was empty, and the other box contained something. It should be a wooden product. It was exposed to the air. , has turned black and rotten.

Wang Xinran's steps were heavy and he was shaken. The wooden items in the box showed signs of falling apart. Seeing this, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly stretched out his spiritual energy, restrained and solidified it, and then turned it over.

"What is this?" Wang Xinran looked at the piece of wood.

"Why is it a Tickle?" Wu Zhongyuan was also confused. In ancient times, the Tiches were mostly in the shape of Ganoderma lucidum, which was much prettier than the Tiches of later generations. Because of their shape, it was also called Ruyi, and the word Ruyi was the earliest It means scratching.

"It looks like a tickle to me, but I dare not say, why did he put this thing in the box?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan could not answer Wang Xinran's question.

Because he was also puzzled. Itchy and scratchy items were used for daily use and were usually placed on the desk or bedside. How could it be placed in a box, and it was an iron box.

At this moment, Wang Xinran discovered something again and pointed to the corner behind the bed curtain, "Look, what is that?"

Wu Zhongyuan followed what Wang Xinran pointed out and saw the object in the corner. He wanted to raise his hand to grab it. Worried about destroying any clues, he walked over and knelt down to take a closer look. The object was made of stone, black and white, five inches in size. The outside is square and the inside is round, and the inside circle is divided into yin and yang.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran would ask what it was next, so before Wang Xinran could ask, he took the initiative and said, "This thing looks like an inkstone."

After Wu Zhongyuan finished speaking, Wang Xinran looked at him with doubtful eyes. Wu Zhongyuan could only continue, "It is indeed an inkstone. It seems that it should be placed in another iron box. Look, there are pits on the floor. It should be from a robbed tomb." After the thief took it out for inspection, he felt it was useless and threw it away."

Before Wang Xinran could speak, Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and said, "Don't ask me why these two things are in the box, I'm just thinking about it."

"These two things don't seem to have much value in preservation," Wang Xinran said. "This inkstone is not small and does not look like the one used by women. The size of the tickle is also relatively long, and it does not look like the one used by women."

Not all questions were puzzling. After thinking about it, Wu Zhongyuan suddenly frowned.

Seeing his frown, Wang Xinran knew what he had thought of and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"

Wu Zhongyuan said, "Iron is evil metal and cannot pass through the breath. The only function of storing things in iron boxes is to block the breath of the thing, so that it cannot sense the outside world, and also prevent the outside world from sensing its breath."

When Wu Zhongyuan said this, he turned around and returned to the iron box with the Itchy Scratch. He stretched out his hand to pick up the Itchy Scratch, broke it in the middle, and kneaded it for inspection. "This thing is very rotten, but it won't take long to rot to this extent." For a long time, it can be seen that when the tomb robbers opened the iron box, the thing was still very complete and not rotten at all."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Wang Xinran asked.

"This Ruyi's five elements belong to wood, and that square inkstone's five elements belong to earth. I suspect that these two things are two carriers." Wu Zhongyuan's expression was very serious. "Someone combined a spirit with five elements that belongs to wood and a spirit with five elements that belong to earth. The gods sealed the Ruyi and the inkstone, put them in iron boxes, and put them here."

"If this is really the case, then these two souls would have escaped the moment the tomb robbers in Leprong Ridge opened the iron box." Wang Xinran was worried.

"You shouldn't run away, you should let go," Wu Zhongyuan said, "This is where the ghost prince Su buried his relatives. Judging from the outside environment and the furnishings in the room, the owner of the tomb is probably Zisu's woman. Like this Except for Zisu himself, no one else can enter the place at will, let alone hide things here."

"You mean these two boxes were placed here by Zisu?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "The two ends of this oval iron box are off the ground. They were originally placed on the left and right sides of the oval iron box. If you sense it from the ground, you can only perceive the oval iron box. , unable to sense that there are two more boxes below."

Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, Wang Xinran suddenly realized, "You mean that after the defeat, the ghost prince Su sealed his two subordinates into Ruyi and Inkstone and put them in iron boxes for protection."

"Is this possible?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes." Wang Xinran nodded, "This explains why there is no spiritual energy barrier here. If there is a spiritual energy barrier, the winning party will definitely come in to check. Without the spiritual energy barrier, the winning party can sense the aura here from the ground. If we find that there is only the iron coffin of the Zisu woman inside, we will not dig up the tomb.”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and said, "This possibility is very high. It is impossible for other kings not to know about Zisu's situation. Other kings should also know that he has a dead woman. Out of respect for the deceased, the winning side will indeed He won't come in to check, and Zisu took advantage of this to keep two capable assistants."

"I support your statement, but I have a question." Wang Xinran said.

"Say it." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"Zisu can teleport. If he wants to save someone, he can send them to a safe place. There is no need to risk staying here." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "We don't know the specific situation back then, and we don't know how Zisu was sealed. It's also possible that Zisu's abilities were restricted in the later stages of the war, and he couldn't do anything, or there were other difficulties. . Or maybe Fuxi has a way to lock them down, and they can be found no matter where they hide. Only by sealing them in an iron box can they avoid tracking."

"70% satisfied." Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and then said, "Did you see the words on the desk on the first floor? Those words should have been left by Zisu. They were words to warn the tomb robbers. He left such words, which shows that he thought of something It is very likely that a tomb robber will find this place in the future. He should also know that the tomb robber cannot be scared away by those few words and will definitely go upstairs to check. He placed the two iron boxes here so that one day they will be captured. People find and open.”

"Eight points." Wang Xinran smiled.

Wu Zhongyuan added, "The oval iron coffin probably contains Zisu's dead woman. If someone discovers this place and sees the oval iron coffin and these two boxes, which one do you think they will open first?"

"It must be easier to open first," Wang Xinran said, "I understand what you mean. Putting these two iron boxes here can also protect Zisu's dead woman."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "Yes, as long as the intruder here opens the iron box first, the soul inside will be released. If the intruder tries to destroy the oval iron coffin, they will stop it."

"Ten points." Wang Xinran said.

"Since you are so willing to give me points, I will ask you to give me a few more points." Wu Zhongyuan raised his hands and pointed, "Everything in this place was transformed by Zisu's spiritual energy, in order to create it for his dead woman. In a paradise, the winner will not deprive the enemy of his nostalgia and memories of his deceased wife. It is for this reason that these things condensed by his spiritual energy will not be destroyed. If one day he escapes from trouble, these things condensed by his spiritual energy can be used in the paradise. Instantly turn into spiritual energy and return to the body, how much spiritual energy do you think these things can be converted into?"

Wu Zhongyuan's words made Wang Xinran very worried, and he forced a smile and said, "It makes sense, let's add ten more points."

Wu Zhongyuan added, "Didn't you always wonder why there were so many ghost tribes escaping from trouble, why there is no one to protect us here? The correct answer is that this place is too important, and the ghost tribe is at a disadvantage right now. The wisest way is to stay away from here and move us Just like rabbits and pheasants, they will deliberately lure the enemy away when they are in danger to avoid their nest being found by the enemy. This is a helpless move for them because they are unable to protect their nest."

Wang Xinran nodded again.

"Hurry up and add points." Wu Zhongyuan smiled.

"I'll give you a boost." Wang Xinran looked at him.

"Let's go, go out first." Wu Zhongyuan turned around and went first.

When Wang Xinran followed, Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "I haven't read that debit note. You know more details. When did the tomb robbers from Leprongling Ridge discover this place?"

"The first month of the thirteenth year of Jiang's reign." Wang Xinran replied.

"In June of the thirteenth year of Jiang's reign, the tomb robbers from Leprong Ridge went to the northwest and found the ancient tomb with a wormhole hidden in it," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Yes, they are both thirteen years, but one is in the first month and the other is in June." Wang Xinran nodded.

"How many tomb robbers entered this underground paradise back then?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Four." Wang Xinran said.

"Are there any women among them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"Yes, Hu Zi is a woman." Wang Xinran replied.

"When you were hired to go to the northwest to search for ancient tombs containing wormholes, was there this person?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes." Wang Xinran nodded.

Wu Zhongyuan had already walked out of the wooden building at this time, stopped and turned around, pointing to the second floor, "The souls hidden in those two artifacts will definitely possess people after they escape. The four tomb robbers will naturally bear the brunt. I now suspect that Jiang Zheng was deceived." The mysterious man and woman are the two people in the iron box."

"Aren't they from the demon clan?" Wang Xinran was doubtful.

"Can't they be allies of the demons..."
