Memorandum of Understanding of the Heavens and Worlds

Chapter 242 After Obtaining the Jade Slip
The disappearance of the jade slip means that the Zhu family's promise to the mysterious man for tens of thousands of years has been completed.

Compared with the excitement of Lin Zhihui and others, Candle Xing's mood was so excited that words could not describe it.

This piece of pyrine stone, which is enough to cause the war in the underworld, has finally become the owner's thing completely. What does this represent and how important it is, it goes without saying that it can be said that this is the hope of their family's rise, At the moment, he didn't care about other things, he waved his hand to put away the green jade stone, casually ordered Zhu Ying to entertain everyone, and hurried out of the cave to the inner house.

After all, Zhu Ying was not really mean-spirited. She knew that this matter must not be spread to outsiders, so she did not go back to the front hall, but led Lin Zhihui and three others to his residence.

Trying hard to digest the information in the jade slip, Lin Zhihui was startled as soon as he raised his head. He saw four people around him, with eight eyes wide open, looking straight at him.

The corners of Lin Zhihui's mouth twitched, and he instantly felt like he was a rare animal being watched in a cage.

"What did the jade slips say? Are there any clues about the guide?" Zhu Ying opened her eyes wide, looking at Lin Zhihui, behind Bi Jie's Yan Yan was also full of anticipation, and even Qiu Shi's eyes had a hint of faintness. the color of curiosity.

Lin Zhihui's lips moved, as if he was hesitant to speak, of course it wasn't that he wanted to hide his secrets, but whenever he wanted to say something, he would feel an inexplicable resistance, and finally he could only helplessly spread his hands: " The amount of information is too great, and for a while, I don’t know where to start.”

"Then let's focus on the key points." Bi Jie said simply, "How can we find the guide?"

"There is a spell." Lin Zhihui thought about it.The difficult pronunciation was still swirling in his mind, but his tongue seemed to be knotted. He couldn't imitate it and could only produce strange syllables one after another.

Yan Yan finally noticed something strange, and said worriedly: "What's wrong? Could it be that there is something wrong with that jade slip?"

Lin Zhihui shook his head, with a helpless expression on his face. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he really didn't know what was going on.

Qiushi raised his eyebrows, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he took a step forward, reached out and grabbed Lin Zhihui's wrist to check: "I was negligent, your cultivation level is not enough, and you will inevitably be affected by receiving huge information again and again."

"Is it serious? Will there be any sequelae?" Zhu Ying asked quickly, and Bi Jie also looked at Qiu Shi with some concern.

"A small problem is just a temporary phenomenon, and it will be fine after a while." Qiu Shi waved his hand casually, expressing that there is no need to worry.

At this moment, Zhuying's body trembled suddenly, and the expression on his face changed. After a while, he looked up at the crowd: "Second uncle asked me to take you to the forbidden area in the back mountain."

……

The forbidden area in the back mountain is the most secret place of the Zhu Family, only the current Patriarch can enter, and no one is allowed to approach without special permission.

It was the first time that people from outside the family were brought into the forbidden area. Even Zhuying herself, except when she was just born, only had the opportunity to set foot in the forbidden area after her last successful promotion.

Everyone followed Zhu Ying in a long circle, and finally passed through a teleportation array and arrived at the outskirts of the forbidden area.

Candle Xing had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw everyone appearing, he led them into a stone room.

There are simple beds, tables and chairs in the stone room, and several calligraphy and paintings hang on the walls.

"I didn't even know that there was such a place in the forbidden area." Zhuying looked around and muttered to herself.

"This is the place where the mysterious man lived." Zhu Xing explained, looking at Lin Zhihui, "You helped my Zhu family get the jade stone. My father was going to come here in person, but there were some changes in the ancestral land. It seems to be related to the pyrene stone, the old man must go and deal with it himself."

Lin Zhihui raised his eyebrows slightly. Although it was not obvious, he could feel that Zhu Xing's attitude was obviously different from before.

Candle Xing didn't say much, turned around and groped around the wall for a while, opened a hidden door, took out two boxes, one large and one small, and put them on the stone table, and everyone surrounded them.

"The mysterious man once said that if someone gets a jade slip, give this thing to him." Zhu Xing pointed at the small square box and said to Lin Zhihui, then patted another long box, "As for what's inside, there are portraits of mysterious people left by our ancestors."

When Zhu Ying heard this, he immediately reached over and picked up the box. When he opened it, it turned out to be a scroll. When he unfolded it, he saw a brown-haired young man in a long robe, looking sideways into the distance. At his feet squatted an alien creature with long hair all over his body. beast.

Everyone's expressions were a little confused, but the painting was quite vivid, and the artistic conception was there, but what's the use of just a background.

Zhu Ying raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "Which ancestor could draw this? It's too unreliable. It doesn't even have a straight face. And so does this strange beast. It has such a big tail. I don't know. Thought it was a squirrel?”

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Xing said with a face, "In order to express gratitude to my benefactor, my ancestor wanted to draw his appearance and enshrine him, but as long as he drew a specific appearance, there would always be problems due to various things. It was damaged, without exception, either by fire or soaked in water, and in the end only this one survived."

Hearing such an explanation, everyone was also speechless. It is true that the ancestor of the Zhu family, perhaps the mysterious person, was not willing to keep his appearance.

Since no clues could be found, and everyone lost interest in the portrait, Zhu Ying casually put the scroll aside, and the lower half of the painting fell down. Lin Zhihui noticed that there was a diamond-shaped imprint on the back of the portrait's hand, which seemed familiar. Can't help but move in my heart.

"What are you looking at? Quickly open the box." Lin Zhihui's thoughts were interrupted by Yan's voice. When he came back to his senses, everyone was looking at him.

Qiushi pushed the small box in front of Lin Zhihui and motioned him to open it.

Candle punishment also seemed a little curious, it was left by the mysterious man, no one knew what was inside, he had tried to open the box, but obviously it was also banned.

Lin Zhihui stretched out his hand, and the moment his fingers touched the box, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his temple, a surge of energy surged into his mind, and countless characters danced in front of his eyes.

The cheek muscles twitched, and Lin Zhihui opened his mouth uncontrollably, making strange and obscure sounds.

At the same time, the box was flickering, and during the seemingly invisible energy flow, the last bit of silver light gathered in one place, forming a strange character, which slowly sank into the box.

Click.

The tightly closed box lid popped open automatically, and a flat object with a strange shape, like metal, lay quietly inside.
