The longevity lock on his neck, although it looks inconspicuous, is actually handed down from generation to generation by the Fu family, and it is only handed down to the eldest son.Because in Fu Tian's mother's generation, there were no males, so it was passed on to Fu Tian.

In the last life, Fu Tian wore this longevity lock until he died, and later he was reborn, and the longevity lock never left his body.

And since he was reborn, he seldom got injured again. His original physique was very prone to bumps and injuries, but except for being injured when he was just reborn, his physique has gradually improved since then, but his chances of getting injured are less. It's not obvious, so I didn't notice it until now.

Speaking of it, this longevity lock is most likely something passed down from the ancestors.

Taking off the longevity lock and putting it in the palms of their hands, both of them carefully observed the silver jewelry. The simple new lock was a bit heavy in their hands, and the color became brighter because of wearing it all year round. exquisite.

Fu Tian looked at it for a while, but found nothing wrong, and looked at Chu Xiangtian questioningly.

Chu Xiangtian frowned little by little, picked up the small lock, and stared at an imperceptible hole above the lock.

After estimating the size, Chu Xiangtian said, "Someone get a needle."

Fu Huang opened the door and asked the maid to bring over a sewing kit, and a row of thin needles of different sizes were neatly inserted into the sewing kit.

Chu Xiangtian took the thinnest one, aimed at the small hole and inserted it gently.

The needle was submerged in the small section, and then seemed to have encountered some obstacle, Chu Xiangtian frowned, moved the needle left and right, and moved it back and forth, the Changshou Lock made a slight clicking sound, and the body of the lock that was originally integrated A small gap opened.

Chu Xiangtian opened the longevity lock with a needle, and saw a very small and exquisite key inside the small longevity lock.

Bronze color, engraved with patterns, three small bumps on the front of the key.

"Where's the key I gave you earlier?" Fu Huang poked Chu Xiangtian, "Take it out and have a look."

"Keep it in the mansion." Chu Xiangtian put down the longevity lock, went to the next door to get the key, came back after a while, and compared the two keys, one big and one small, side by side. Except for the size, they were exactly the same.

Fu Tian suddenly remembered the strange small hole he found on the wall when he went to the darkroom. At that time, he compared it carefully, maybe it was really a keyhole.

"It seems that we have to go back to Sifang Town as soon as possible," Fu Tian said, "This is the key to the dark vault."

Chu Xiangtian still frowned and looked at the Changshou Lock. The Changshou Lock was very delicately made. The upper cover was only a thin layer, and the lower part was sunken in a key-shaped arc, just enough to fit the bronze key in, but... …

Chu Xiangtian's eyes moved suddenly, and on the opened side, another small hole was found under the pattern of the lock.

He picked up the needle again, followed the same method, and opened the second layer of the longevity lock.

Unexpectedly, there was a layer hidden in this small silver lock, Fu Tian looked at Chu Xiangtian's movements with some surprise.

Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes, and slowly opened the other side——

Before the longevity lock was fully opened, the two suddenly felt an incomparably cool breath emanating from the longevity lock like water waves.

This feeling is very strange, as if the surrounding air has cooled down in an instant. If I have to describe it, it is like the air in a cold winter morning. With a sobering shudder.

The lock was completely opened, revealing what was hidden inside - a piece of dark green... jade with a strange shape?

It might be something else. Fu Tian reached out to take it out, but it was not as hard as jade, but soft. There was a refreshing coolness when pinched at the fingertips, and a faint fragrance could be discerned even closer.

Fu Tian put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, Fuzhi mentally pinched the corners of the thing and put it together. The green "nephrite jade" that was originally spread out and flattened was put together into a spherical shape.

The two looked at each other, and Fu Tian hesitated: "Is this the fruit that the old elm tree said?"

It's just that the old elm tree said that the fruit can give birth to a child, but this "nephrite" is only the size of two fingers when put together, so I really can't figure out how to conjure a child.

Under the cover, the two of them were not sure if it was the shell left by the fruit. They thought about it for a while, but they couldn't figure out the origin for the time being, so they had to put the thing back as it was, and let Fu Tian still wear it on his body.

The next day, Fu Tian began to prepare the ship back to Qingyang.

After the canal was dug, the waterway went directly to Nanming County. Fu Tian bought a big boat and went back directly by water this time.

I also brought a lot of goods along the way, which can be transported back to the south to sell at that time, offsetting the "travel expenses" of the round trip.

On June 21, Chu Xiangtian returned to Sifang Town with Fu Tian.

In June, the early rice has been harvested in the southern border, and the late rice seedlings have been raised. They can be planted in July and harvested in October.

It's not yet midsummer yet, but the dry weather has already begun to show signs. Since the beginning of winter, it hasn't rained a few times, but the weather is hotter earlier than usual.

After June, the weather became hotter day by day. I didn't feel it when I was in Qingyang, but when I got to the south, this feeling became more obvious.

Fu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood on the deck and looked at the farmland on the shore.Although the weather is not good right now, after the canal is dug, water conservancy projects in various places are also being built, so even though there have been few rains this year, the people do not have the worries of previous years.

After leaving Fengshui, the boat entered the Sihu River, and finally reached the border of Nanming County.

The channel of the Sihu River has been widened, and the boats sailed in without any difficulty, and they arrived at Sifang Town smoothly all the way.

The wharf in Sifang Town has been completed, but it's a remote place with little contact with outsiders, so it has never been used. Now that the Fu family's boats have docked, many people have stopped to watch curiously.

It was Fu Tian who came down, and the one who responded quickly saluted and called him Lord Hou.The other people who realized it with hindsight also hurriedly saluted.

Fu Tian was stunned for a moment, and he felt unreal as if he had been in another world. He had only been in Qingyang for a few months, and when he returned to Sifang Town, he felt a sense of strangeness.

Nodding to everyone, Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian went back to Fu's house together in Fu's carriage.

The door of Fu's family, which had been closed for several months, finally opened, and the carriage that Fu Tian was riding in drove in and then slowly closed, blocking the sight of outsiders from probing.

There was no change in the Fu family's house. After they went to Qingyang, the house was taken care of by the family's old servants. Except that it was quieter, it was the same as when they left.

A fire was lit in the kitchen to cook. After the two of them had lunch, Fu Tian waved back and took Chu Xiangtian to the warehouse.

No one could enter the warehouse without a key, so no one cleaned it. When Fu Tian pushed the door open, there was a cloud of dust inside.

After entering, he closed the warehouse door, and Fu Tian went straight to the big vase. After twisting it a few times according to the method, an entrance appeared.

Chu Xiangtian walked in front of Fu Tian with a lamp in his hand, and the two of them walked down with the faint light. The further they went, the darker they went, and when they reached the bottom step, Chu Xiangtian asked Fu Tian to wait first, and he went to the next step. The lamp was lit before Fu Tian was allowed to enter.

The dark vault was exactly the same as before, with boxes and cages containing gold and silver treasures piled up in a mess, Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows, "The ancestors of the Fu family were truly wealthy."

Fu Huang shook his finger and said with a smile, "Isn't this a token of love for you?"

Chu Xiangtian remembered the bronze key that Fu Tian had given him back then, and pinched his earlobe amusedly, "I'm afraid it will be enough to pay you for several lifetimes."

Fu Tian smiled slyly, let go of him and went to the wall to find the keyhole he had seen before.

Chu Xiangtian also searched with him. His eyesight has always been good, but he didn't find anything special about the wall facing him. Unexpectedly, Fu Tian looked carefully for a while, then suddenly pointed to a place and said, "In the here."

Chu Xiangtian followed his fingers to look, only to find this tiny keyhole.

Fu Tian took off the longevity lock and asked Chu Xiangtian to open it. Then, holding the small key, he pointed it in place and slowly pushed it in.

The key was inserted to the end, just enough to fill the small hole on the stone wall. Looking at it from the outside, even Fu Tian couldn't find a gap.

After the key was inserted, the stone wall was quiet and there was no movement at all. Just when Fu Tian was puzzled, there was a slight clicking sound from the stone wall, which was very similar to the sound made when the longevity lock was opened. , as if the mechanism inside is slowly starting.

After a while, the stone wall, which had no gaps at all, suddenly showed a slight depression, and then the whole stone wall slowly moved back, and then moved to the left to close together, revealing an entrance the size of an ordinary door.

The entrance was not dark, and there was a faint light inside. Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian looked at each other. Fu Tian was guarding the door, and Chu Xiangtian went in first to explore the way.

Although it is a dark vault left by the ancestors, no one knows if there are other institutions, so it is better to be cautious.

The aisle is very long, and the stone walls on both sides and the ceiling are inlaid with luminous pearls for lighting, even if there is no candle in hand, you can see the road clearly.

After walking all the way, Chu Xiangtian made a general inspection, and after confirming that there were no other organs inside, he turned back and went in with Fu Tian at the door.
