Chapter 14 - Under the Secret of Taohua Xiaozhu
Back in the woods where Fang was living, Xiao Hei found a cave. He found some wood for a fire and some wild mushrooms were roasting.
Ye Lan opened the baggage and took the contents out onto the stone platform.
“It’s a box!”
In the weak fire, the iron box on the stone platform exudes a strange blue light.
The box is ebony and has strange patterns embossed on the surface. It is said that it is a pattern, not to mention some incomprehensible inscriptions. It is just that these words are very cleverly combined, and they can outline a picture.
The painting on each side of the box is different.
There is a **** of death depicted on the front. She is sleeping on the regenerating tree, and a long curved sickle goes deep into the ground from the tree. The evil spirits hiding under the ground are knocking on their knees.
On the left side, there are some exotic flowers and grass growing in the swamp. A woman with a snake head is winding in the dense fog of the swamp. Despite the relief painting, the woman’s beautiful face is unobstructed.
Ye Lan looked to the right, and there was a cat carved on the iron surface. The cat’s eyes were lifelike. She stared at it a little, and she felt a sense of being photographed.
Whether it is the crane on the top of the box, the toad on the back, or the grub on the bottom, it is so strangely carved that it is different from the normal thing.
Ye Lanxin said, “These patterns are really strange!”
Even more strange is the box itself. Ye Lan looked at it for a long time and found that the box was not locked.
Without a lock, there would be no key?
You can’t open this box without a key …
Or … this box hasn’t been opened by anyone since it was cast?
Ye Lan was puzzled. She looked at Xiaohei, “Do you know these patterns?” Xiaohe stared at the box for a while and shook her head.
He saw Ye Lan fiddling for a while, and wondered: “Why didn’t Lord open the box yet?”
“This box is unlocked …” Ye Lan frowned slightly. “No key.”
After thinking for a while, she said: “The decoration of the box is strange and weird, and the way to open the box is also unusual.”
“Do you want to use a sword to split?” Xiaohei stepped forward and gave Ye Lan a bunch of grilled mushrooms, but he pulled out his sword. It’s a mess! “
“No!” Ye Lan stopped Xiaohei, “This kind of recklessness will inevitably hurt the contents of the box.”
Xiaohe pouted, whispering: “I just don’t want to see you frown …”
“what did you say?”
His voice was too low, Ye Lan didn’t listen to it, and Xiaohe let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t respond to Ye Lan, shook his head lightly, and sat beside a piece of wood to roast mushrooms.
“Little girl! Having trouble?”
“Old man …” Ye Lan heard a voice in his heart and asked, “Can you have a way to open this box?”
“Yes, yes.” The old man meditated in the void in the ring. He plucked his beard and whispered to the outside world, “The little girl listens, the old man will do what you say.”
“Gather the whole body’s spiritual power on the left index finger and bite your finger!”
Ye Lanzhao did it. After biting her finger, the spiritual force flew up with blood dripping. Little Black saw it, and only looked quietly at the side without speaking.
He had seen this method of unboxing-offering sacrifices with blood.
“And then, old man, can you finish in one go!”
“Ah, what’s the hurry of the young man!” The old man muttered: “See the picture of death on the front of the box, and inject blood into the tree!”
Before the words fell, Ye Lan had spilled blood on the dead tree.
In an instant, the iron-carved tree came alive, and the lush branches resembled golden rivers, spreading along the inscription circuit on the surface, and covering the entire box.
“Click …”
The box opened and white light burst out of the box.
When the white light dissipated, Ye Lan took a closer look, and saw a velvet cushion blanket in the bottom of the box, embroidered with a picture of three cranes flying on it, and a jade pendant on it.
Ye Lan took out the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The texture of the jade was smooth and soft, and it was carved into a leaf shape. The tassels attached to the jade pendant used red stamens.
She twisted the tassel buckle and shook Yu Pei in front of Little Black Eyes. “Do you know what jade carving is?”
Xiaohe shook his head and replied: “However, looking at the texture of this jade, it is by no means owned by Fengtian Continent.”
“It’s not something on the mainland … Where will it come from?” Ye Lan thought, putting Yu Pei in her arms.
“Lord, there is a letter in the box.”
Xiaohei delivered the letter, and Ye Lan opened it.
Lan’er,
See the letter as it is.
When you saw this letter, you must have lost your mother. Don’t be too sad, your mother will always look at you in the sky, Lan’er will not be alone.
You can open this ebony chest, you want to know your blood line, but this blood line is extremely dangerous, Laner, you have to hide it well, it must not be discovered by anyone.
Lan’er, the Ye family you are in now is not your real family. They are ambitious, so beware.
As for your life experience, due to your special status and weak strength, it is easy to bring in the scourge of killing your body. It is not convenient for you to know your life experience for the time being. For your safety, your mother will not tell you.
One day, when you reach the peak, you will know that this leaf-shaped jade is a symbol of your identity. You should keep it alive and don’t lose it.
Hope you are well, my daughter.
In the next life, we will also be mothers and daughters.
Niangqin is a pen.
After reading the letter, Ye Lan felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
She whispered: “You can rest assured, mother, Lan’er will live well, blood wash the Ye family, and revenge for you!”
The woman next to the fire secretly made this determination. Her eyes were dark. The fire and the eyes reflected each other. The streamer was like fire and seemed to devour everything.
