Travel thousands of miles in my life

"What did you find?" Wen Shuqiu smiled, took off his semi-dry robe, walked to the basin and wrung it dry.

"This can be opened!" Yan Wuwu was so excited that he twisted and twisted the lid of the box with his bare hands, "but I don't know how to open it. Could it be stuck?"

Wen Shuqiu was drying his hair at this time, Yan Wuwu's internal energy was hotter than a hand stove, but he only dried half of his hair, and he insisted on drying the remaining half with a cloth towel.Hearing Yan Wuxin's words, he answered absent-mindedly, caught a glimpse of the base of the box out of the corner of his eye, snorted, put down the cloth towel and came over to take a closer look.

"How do I open this?" Yan Wuwu hesitated for a long time, but the box still looked loose, and he was a little disappointed.

Wen Shuqiu didn't make a sound, took the box and turned it upside down, carefully looking at its base.The base is slightly different from the previous black box. The corners are wrapped with black gold, and the material used is not like the original one. Stone is not stone, gold is not gold, and it feels like wood to the touch.

"The veins are as fine as cream, and the tentacles are warm and smooth, plus this unique color, it should be the legendary ebony wood, but this should be an extinct wood, I didn't expect to find such a large piece. "Wen Shuqiu said with some surprise.

"Very valuable?" Yan Wuwu had never heard of this kind of tree, and was a little confused.

"I've never seen such a big piece of wood." Wen Shuqiu shook his head and said, "It can be said to be priceless."

"Why is it so expensive?" Yan Wuwu wondered.

"In the previous dynasty, there were actually not too few ebony trees. At least there are large areas of ebony forests in the South Gorge and the desolate areas." Wen Shuqiu groped the smooth edge of the wooden box and said, "But someone found This ebony wood can preserve things for a long time, and the food in it will not go bad for two months. So someone cut the ebony wood to make wooden boxes, and delivered rare food from Lingnan to the princes and nobles at that time. .”

"That won't make it extinct." Yan Wuwu frowned: "Since it can be guaranteed not to rot, could it be used for...?"

"That's right." Wen Shuqiu covered his mouth and yawned, "It is said that Emperor Shang of the previous dynasty killed himself on the Tiantai, and his body was placed in an ebony coffin by later generations. Every ebony tree has a wooden heart, The coffin boards made of wooden hearts are even better, and it is said that they can guarantee that they will not rot or rot for thousands of years."

"This tree will not live long without Mu Xin, but is it really as magical as it is said to be?" Yan Wuwu was speechless.

"Of course not. Ebony wood is just much better at repelling insects. How can it be so magical?" Wen Shuqiu shook his head and yawned again. He groped for something under his hand, and suddenly frowned.

Hearing a click, Wen Shuqiu looked at the broken wooden tenon in his hand in disbelief, and Yan Wuwu was even more surprised. He patted the young man who was still in a daze, and asked like a helpless parent watching a child's mischief. Said: "It's broken?"

Wen Shuqiu was stunned, and raised his head to look at him: "Is it too late for us to run now?"

"Open it, and see what's inside before running away." After the wooden tenon broke, the box bounced off naturally. Yan Wuwu took the box and looked at it, only to find that the wooden tenon was stuck between the lid and the box body. Between them, they are intertwined like Kong Mingsuo.Unless you know how to twist, you can only rely on brute force.

Yan Wuwu held his breath, carefully opened the lid of the box and took a look, he was immediately disappointed.He took out a translucent object from inside, looked at it against the light, and said, "There's only half a bead in it? I think it's some kind of treasure inlaid with gold and jade, but the color is so beautiful."

Wen Shuqiu took a closer look at the half bead in his hand, it was light turquoise, crystal clear, shining brightly under the coral-colored light like a sky full of burning clouds.

Yan didn't notice the astonishment in his eyes, so he handed over the half bead.Wen Shuqiu took it, his fingertips trembled, and his hand was not steady.The beads fell to the table with a crisp sound.Yan Wuwu was surprised, and said with a smile, "What? Did it bite you?"

"If I want to bite, I'll bite you first." Wen Shuqiu shook his head, smiled, picked up the bead, looked at it for a while, and then put it back into the box, "Why don't you guess what this half bead is for?"

"There should be another half of this bead, but I don't know where it is. Do you think it will have any special effect when combined?" Yan Wuwu rubbed his chin and guessed: "For example, resurrecting the dead? Or skyrocketing internal strength and the like .”

"It's not impossible, but the only thing that's certain is that the half bead must be related to what's in the black box." Wen Shuqiu narrowed his eyes, couldn't hold on anymore, stood up and staggered to the bed, his voice was vague Muttering: "I'll take a rest first."

"Hey, why are you so sleepy?" Yan Wuwu helped him, carried him to the bed, and saw that the young man had already fallen asleep.He could only shake his head helplessly, put a thin quilt on someone, and said to himself: "The purpose of this thing is not to make people sleep well..."

It seemed to be raining endlessly, and it was completely dark.It was cold and rainy outside, but inside the room was warm candlelight. Yan Wuwu was playing with the bead in his hand, recalling in his mind the direction from which the servant girl had just come, and that is where the box should have been brought.

After thinking hard for a long time, Yan Wuwu didn't recall what was there, and he didn't even know where that direction led to.Scratching his head in frustration, he put on his robe and walked out the door.

"I can only take one trip." He looked at the sky and said helplessly, "I hope I can make the right trip this time."

Few people in the rivers and lakes know that the famous ranger Yan Wuwu is a person who doesn't know the way, but he always hides it very well. Only a few close friends know that he can't remember the way.Yan Wuwu stepped out of the door, and then turned sideways to cover the door carefully, for fear that the noise would startle the people who were still sleeping on the bed. If his old acquaintances saw his intentions, they would surely laugh big teeth.

Yan Wuwu, who was eager to find where the box came from, naturally didn't see it, and the person who was supposed to be sleeping on the bed instantly opened his eyes.

After hearing the sound of the man's footsteps gradually disappearing, Wen Shuqiu sat up slowly. He walked to the table and lit the candle.The young man spread out his palm, which was white and well-defined, with a few inconspicuous calluses hidden in the ruddy palm, at first glance it looked like a scholar's hand.

The young man just stared at his palm in a daze, the dim candlelight reflected on his face, half light and half shadow.He seemed to be thinking about something, lowering his eyes.

"It came so fast." The young man sighed, his expression slightly dazed, and a shallow furrow formed between his brows.If you look carefully, there is no focus in his extremely beautiful eyes, and there is some light only after he stares.

"I still think it will be after I'm 30 years old, but now it seems that I need to get it back quickly." Wen Shuqiu rubbed his eyes, trying his best to see the cup in front of him clearly, and he couldn't see things that were a little further away.

It doesn't matter to me, but I don't know when Yan Wuxin will find out, and what expression will he make when he finds out?It must be yelling.Thinking of this, Wen Shuqiu laughed. He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, squinted his eyes and looked around, and then sat back on the bed. Only then was he really sleepy.

It was in Tianjing, in a remote courtyard.A figure hurriedly rushed into the small courtyard from the side door, and when he was about to walk into the courtyard, a man in gray clothes flashed out of the shadows, and stopped the figure with a knife.

"Trespassers will die." The gray-clothed man warned with his sword in front of him.

"My lord, it's me, the master of the Yuwei Sect!" The figure was anxious, and took out a token from his arms and handed it to the man in gray.

The man in gray glanced at it, and after confirming the authenticity, he withdrew his knife and hid himself in the shadows again.

Although the house looked dilapidated and simple from the outside, it was staggeringly luxurious and gorgeous inside.A man in a black brocade robe was lazily sitting on the three screens. He was extremely handsome, his facial features were as sharp as knives and axes. Although his sitting posture was not very correct, he had an astonishing aura.

"Where are the things?" He looked at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him, and asked lightly.

"Master atones, that person will not hand it over until he dies." The middle-aged man said bravely, "I have pressed her for questioning, but she only said that unless she dies, it is impossible to hand over the things."

"I'm asking about something." The man sighed, walked slowly in front of the middle-aged man, raised the corners of his lips and said, "I'm too lazy to listen to the process, you just need to tell me, where is the thing I want?" .”

"No... I didn't get it." Sweat slowly dripped from the forehead of the middle-aged man, and his head buried deeper.Afterwards, the middle-aged man raised his head with a pale face, and pleaded: "That woman's foundation in the religion is not so deep, and my subordinates don't dare to persecute her rashly, just in case... just in case... .”

"It seems that you don't know how to find things." The man waved to the outside, and two men in gray jumped from the roof and knelt in front of the man.When the middle-aged man saw that the situation was wrong, his mind became more active.

"Teach him well." The man waved his hand casually, the man in gray was waiting to step forward, the middle-aged man stepped forward on his knees, tearfully said: "I have one more thing!"

"Say." The man sat back on the chair, tilted it lazily again, and said with a satisfied expression: "Think about what to say."

"Wen, Wen Qiaoying, that woman asked her subordinates to convey the message. She wishes you all your wishes and good fortune!" the middle-aged man shouted with his arms crossed, holding his breath.

The man didn't speak, and squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.After a while, he closed his eyes and waved his hand.The two men in gray at the bottom understood, and the middle-aged man let go of his panic and returned to the roof.

"Interesting." The man didn't know who he was talking to, he called softly: "Jiu Xian."

In an instant, a thin figure knelt in front of him.

"exist."

The man raised his head, revealing a pale face.
