Lan Si shouted: "Take us with you!" The shop owner struggled to stand up. I knew that Lansi would come, but I never expected that she would suddenly appear like this, with the momentum of a thunderbolt.Also, she seemed to know exactly what was going on, which puzzled me even more. My mind was full of questions, and when I wanted to ask, I didn't know where to start.Lansi winked at me, then pointed at the shop owner who was walking in. I understood what she meant, she was talking about the details later, and now let's watch the owner of the shop carefully to prevent him from making troubles.

To be honest, up to that time, I only knew that two people mysteriously disappeared in the whole thing, and the disappearance was related to a box, that's all, there was no other information. It seems that Lansi knows more than I do. Could it be that the unbelievable head drop technique she knows also includes the ability to know the ins and outs of the situation just by pinching her fingers? At the moment, I could see that Lansi's expression was very nervous. It was obvious that Wen Baoyu's situation was not very good. The shopkeeper walked in, Lansi and I followed.Although the shop is very small, it is a very spacious hall when you enter the inner hall. Go out from a door on the left side of the hall, and you will find a patio. That patio leads to another warehouse-like building. .

The warehouse was quite big, and the shop owner took us through a small door and walked in. I saw many large and small wooden boxes piled up like a mountain, and they were all goods from this thrift store! The outside of this store is not amazing, but it is so rich inside that it is unexpected. The owner of the shop pointed to the corner of the warehouse: "The eight ancestral wooden boxes are piled there... Fairy...among those old objects...you say there are...ghosts attached to them?" Lan Si nodded: "There are quite a few of them──If you are afraid, you should not approach them."

The owner of the store actually said immediately: "Yes! Yes!" When I saw this situation, I felt even more weird. Lansi stretched out her hand: "Bring the key." The owner of the store was so obedient, he lifted up his skirt, and took out a bunch of keys, which were old-fashioned brass locks. Lansi looked at me and motioned me to approach the eight large wooden boxes with her. The eight large wooden boxes were very huge, dark and heavy, each one was one meter high, one meter deep and two meters wide, and they were placed in a row of two on iron shelves. The boss's characters were painted in red paint on the wooden box, which were the eight characters "Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe, Great Desolation".

Lansi and I walked in front of the wooden box, and I was still vague about Lansi's statement that "there is a ghost attached to the object".But I saw Lansi took a deep breath, and at this moment, I suddenly felt someone shouting again: "Whether the visitor is an enemy or a friend, tell me quickly!" Lansi raised her eyebrows, it seemed that she had an answer, but I didn't know what she said. At this time, my thoughts were so disordered that I tried my best to sort out a clue, but I couldn't find any clue. Just as I couldn't help but want to ask, Lansi made a "keep quiet" gesture to me again.

Looking at her expression, it seems that she is doing something extremely focused, but on the surface, she can't tell it at all. I know that what she is "going" must be going on through her mind, it is the action of her mind, not the action of her body.Naturally, it could also be said that it was an act of her soul. As soon as I thought of this, my heart suddenly lit up, and I understood the current situation a little bit. Since Lansi's current actions are actions of her thoughts (souls), the objects of her actions are naturally some thoughts (souls).Although Lansi's soul has never left her body, she is communicating with other souls at this moment.

As for the origin of the "other soul", Lan Si also made it very clear just now.She said that on the ancient objects in those wooden boxes, there are quite a few ghosts lingering on the objects. Then, the ones she was dealing with at this time were naturally those ghosts attached to the ancient relics. Lansi's sensibility is particularly keen, so as soon as she arrives, she can communicate with the ghosts on the ancient objects. In fact, many people can communicate with ghosts, and I have experienced it myself.Now, because my sensibility is not as good as Lansi's, I can only feel some fragments—I also feel some voices, but I can't get the complete information from the ghost, and I can't communicate with it.

At this time, Lansi is communicating with the ghost of an unknown person who is attached to the ancient object. After I figured this out, I didn't bother Lansi anymore.At the same time, I concentrated myself, hoping to feel more messages from the ghosts, but I got nothing. At this time, I thought again that the voice that Yi Lin felt, the calling, and the fact that she would know that there was such a box in this store were probably also the result of feeling the message conveyed by the ghost. Assuming that her ability to feel is unusually strong, then she can easily interact with the message sent by the ghost, and hear the voice of the ghost, just like the situation I just had.

She kept hearing people mentioning Xuan Zihao box, No. 67, a box, and an antique shop to her, and finally she became curious and came to the door to ask for confirmation. Only then did a series of things happen. Although, what happened after she got the box is still unknown, but the whole thing, from having no idea to figuring it out, can be said to have made great progress. I waved my hand involuntarily, and Lansi gave me an encouraging look at this time, obviously she also knew what I was thinking. At this time, she had come to the "Xuan" wooden box, picked out the key with the "Xuan" name cast on it, and opened the lock.

The big wooden box is a very ingenious wooden cabinet, half of the box is opened from the two sides, and there are compartments of different sizes inside, each compartment can place one thing. About half of the grids are empty, and the items in them naturally no longer exist, and the items in the rest of the grids are all wrapped in dark purple satin.Immediately I saw "Number Sixty-seven" on the number, and there was only one piece of satin in it, nothing else. The number 68 next to it is a flat rectangular object, like a plate, also wrapped in purple satin, but it is obvious that it has only been opened recently.

I snorted and glared at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at me. The thing couldn't be more obvious. After Yi Lin took the box, the shopkeeper felt that something was strange, so he checked the box nearby. In the item No. 68, he found information about the box, so he is trying to get the box back. I stretched out my hand and pointed out that Lansi had already taken off the object and shook off the satin. It was not a plate, but a board about fifty centimeters long, thirty centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick—I don’t know what kind of board it was. , its color is dark, and there is a rectangular concave in the middle, which is very shallow, less than half a centimeter. As soon as I saw the slab, I immediately thought that if the box was placed on it, it would be perfect—if so, then this board can be said to be a backing board for the box, and the box was originally placed here. on the board. That is to say, the box and the board are a combination that is integrated into one. When I thought of this, I was so excited that I hurried over to have a look.I saw Lansi looking at the board, it seemed to be quite heavy, the board was black, but there were shining golden handwriting on the board, one could tell at a glance that it was written in Chinese characters. This kind of shining gold can also be seen to be written with gold powder at a glance. The handwriting left by this method can last thousands of years without changing, and it can be preserved for the longest time. At this time, the owner of the store could only hear a groan, and when he spoke, his voice was very harsh, and he said: "If there is any ghost that lingers, it must be attached to this board!" Lansi handed the board to me, and as soon as I took it, it was really heavy, even heavier than an iron board.I weighed it and put it on a wooden box to see the words written with gold powder on it. But I heard Lansi asking the shopkeeper at this time: "How can I see it?" The shop owner gasped: "Ever since I saw it... I feel that there is a ghost... haunting it!" The shopkeeper's words are very noteworthy, and also appalling, but at this time, I have no time to pay attention to them, because I am attracted by the words on the board. When I was concentrating on those words, I really had nothing else to do, so I could only vaguely hear the owner and Lansi talking, but I couldn't hear what they were saying clearly. The characters written on the board with gold powder may be written by mixing the gold powder into the lacquer, so each character remains clearly on the board, and it is still clear after hundreds of years. It was a short account──this account, in my opinion, especially made my heart beat faster because it had a certain connection with an experience I had some years ago. I described the experience several years ago in this story titled, which is not twists and turns, but it is very real-a scientist asserted that in the Ming Dynasty, the "cornucopia" that was said to belong to Shen Wansan was A small solar metal replicator. This metal duplicator has the ability to duplicate metal, just like the copiers that are widely used by human beings, which can copy text infinitely. If you put one ingot down, it will reproduce countless ingots, so it becomes a cornucopia. According to this assumption, the cornucopia is certainly not a product of the earth's scientific civilization.My supplementary analysis is that this metal replica instrument was left on the earth by some alien in what year and date—many rare treasures on the earth probably have similar origins. The scientist got two pieces of the cornucopia and wanted to remake the replicator. I can judge that he has achieved unprecedented success, because I found some metal powders of unknown origin, which may have been copied by him. However, the scientist was unable to study further because of too little information, so he set out to find more cornucopia fragments, and has since disappeared without a trace. I have also inquired about his whereabouts in many ways, but to no avail.At this time, I suddenly discovered that the record on the board had a certain connection with this incident.In other words, if the scientist is there, he will definitely have a further good explanation, which makes me very excited. This account is written in the first person, and there is no signature at the end of the article, but there is time: the first year of Hongwu - the first year of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, that is, the legendary Shen Wansan's cornucopia was taken away by the emperor, smashed and buried under the city wall that year.I immediately speculated that it was none other than Shen Wansan who left this account. The correct time should be before the cornucopia was taken away, and he also expected that the cornucopia would be taken away. This point can also be inferred from the meaning of the text. The words in this description are not very literary, and the handwriting is not neat. We can see the true colors of the merchants. From this, we can also infer that it was written by Shen Wansan himself with the gold lacquer. Naturally, in the description, a person is involved It's a big secret, so Shen Wansan won't rest assured that others will describe and share this secret. This secret is related to that box. The record says: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of his crime. I believe in it. Since I got the treasure basin, I have been rich in the world, but my blessings and misfortunes are more than the jealousy of others. I don't know who. The wrath of thunder came down. In my own body, I am worried all day long, suffering unspeakably. Fortunately, while I was getting the treasure basin, I also got a treasure box. People know that the prestige seen by people cannot be added together. If you use a treasure basin and a treasure box to control Yu's life, even if Yu dies, he will still be alive." This paragraph of description is not difficult to understand, but it is extremely confusing.Lansi's ability to read Chinese characters is not very high. After the conversation with the shop owner came to an end, she came to me and asked, "What did you say here?" I read it first, and then explained it—of course I couldn't explain it completely, because I didn't even know what some sentences in the description meant. Lan Si immediately put forward the most difficult words: "What treasure pot and treasure box? What does it mean to turn a dead end into a living one? Why is death still alive? What does this description want to explain?" Lansi didn't even know the ins and outs of the cornucopia, so naturally she was even more inexplicable. I first told Lan Si the ins and outs of the cornucopia, and then looked at the owner: "I guess Shen Wansan wrote this description himself, what do you think?" The owner of the store immediately agreed: "Exactly—this is a great discovery in the antiquities industry. It's a pity that I didn't discover it earlier. Alas, there are too many goods in the store, and I can't look at them one by one. Alas, I really don't understand. How did the little girl know?" He still couldn't forget that the treasure box fell into Yi Lin's hands, and he hated it endlessly.Lan Si said coldly: "Someone told that little girl—now you know what this treasure box is for?" The owner pursed his lips and shook his head. I know that his ancestors opened a thrift store, so he must have a wealth of knowledge about antiquities, so I encouraged him: "Based on your professional knowledge, what is the function of this box?" The shop owner said: "This text is very clear." I snorted: "But I don't understand!" The owner of the store said: "The treasure basin and the treasure box belong together. It is known that the treasure basin can create something out of nothing, and gather all the treasures of the world──" I didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "It can't be said that something is created out of nothing. You have to have something before you can copy it." The shop owner's understanding of the cornucopia is obviously different from my understanding, so he didn't take it seriously, and gave me a look: "The fairy family's wonderful things can naturally be created out of nothing!" I don't know him, I just want to hear his understanding of the treasure box. He said: "The treasure basin comes from nothing, but this treasure box is from death to life. So the treasure box is much more precious than the treasure basin. Let me ask, if a person dies, even though all the treasures in the world belong to you, what is the use? " I frowned: "I still don't understand what you said, this treasure box...can bring people back from the dead?" The shop owner said: "If there is no death at all, why resurrect?" I was a little annoyed: "Speak more truthfully, don't make every sentence like a charade, okay?" The owner of the shop proudly said: "The wonderful thing of the fairy family, you have to have a certain amount of spiritual wisdom to comprehend it, not ordinary people, everyone can know the essence!" I scolded him in my heart, knowing that he couldn't know what the treasure box was for, so I didn't bother to talk to him anymore. I just said to Lansi: "From a dead end to a living end, I don't know what happened, the two of you will see each other first." Lansi's eyebrows were knotted, and she didn't know what she was thinking. I called her twice, and she woke up like a dream. She said in a deep voice, "Let's go back and talk about it." She turned to the shop owner: "This thing, keep it in my place first!" The owner of the store was very reluctant, but he didn't object, he just said: "You... have already dispelled... those... ghosts?" Lansi said authoritatively: "Since you cooperate so much, I will naturally keep you safe." The owner of the store let out a long sigh, and muttered to himself: "I got the cornucopia, and I got killed, so I know that the treasures of the fairy family are not something ordinary people can afford!" The owner of the shop, I have never had a good impression of him.But he keeps referring to the cornucopia as "fairy treasure", which is very interesting and agrees with me. The sentence he said to himself is also very interesting, Shen Wansan won the cornucopia, although he was able to become rich in the world, it also caused trouble for him.It’s just that he is glad that he still has the “treasure box”, but people can’t figure out what it means—just judging from that account, he should know what the treasure box is for. Lansi said in a deep voice, "Let's go!" She walked out first, followed by the owner and I. When we reached the door of the store, the owner hesitated to speak. Lansi said, "Don't worry, I won't make you suffer." The shopkeeper said repeatedly: "That's good! That's good!" I don't know what agreement was reached between Lansi and the shop owner, and naturally I don't know what their conversation means. As soon as she left the shop, Lansi said, "Let's go to Yi's house!" I have many questions to ask her, at this time, I asked the first one: "Have you been to Yi's house?" Lansi nodded, and I immediately asked, "Where is Xiaobao? Where did he go?" Lansi's expression was already gloomy and cold, but after this question, her face became even more gloomy, and after a while, she said, "I don't know." I was taken aback and knew the seriousness of the matter—even Lansi was so powerful, and she and Xiaobao were connected in spirit, so she couldn't perceive his whereabouts. The seriousness of the problem can be imagined. At this time, Lansi got into my car, and I waited for her to speak again, but she kept silent until she was about to arrive at Yi's house, and she said: "I will come as soon as I receive the news. She told me what happened in detail, and she took me to Yi's house. Originally, no matter where Xiaobao was, even if he didn't know exactly, at least he could know a direction. But when I got to Yi's house, I let me try my best , but like a stone sinking into the sea, it is useless." When Lansi said something else, her voice trembled a little, and she showed a very frightened expression. Lan Si, this super head-down master, was actually scared.This phenomenon alone has already given me a chill involuntarily. For a while, I couldn't speak. Lansi took a breath: "I know, everything is caused by that box." I lost my voice: "The box is gone too!" Lansi said: "This is the fault. I just want to see you right away. My cousin said you went to the thrift store, so I rushed here." After Lansi arrived, I was supposed to be present for what happened, but I couldn't tell what happened. I said, "In the store, you seem to have discovered something." Lansi took another breath: "Let's go up and talk, my cousin is up there." Already at the door of Yi's house, I saw Bai Su standing at the entrance of the building, with a very nervous expression on his face—it's not easy to make Bai Su feel nervous from the bottom of his heart and show it on his expression.I naturally knew that it was also because she felt that Wen Baoyu's situation was very bad. Before we got out of the car, Bai Su greeted us.Lansi didn't speak to her, but shook her head. I couldn't help but said: "Don't just shake your head, what's the situation, you should tell me first." Lansi still shook her head, and I said, "Or you say, how bad things are." Lan Si let out a long sigh: "It's so bad that I don't know anything about it!" Bai Su and I looked at each other, both in our hearts were horrified.Lansi stretched out her hands, one on each side, and held my hand and Bai Su's. Her hand was as cold as ice, so it can be seen how fearful she felt in her heart. I also shook my head involuntarily: "If you care about it, you will be in chaos. I don't think the matter is... serious." When I said this, I was actually not sure at all, so my tone was very hesitant. Bai Su said in a deep voice, "How can you see that?" I have already thought of the reason: "Things have always been related to 'dead end', 'survival end', and that box...it seems to be related to 'survival end'. Since it can lead people to an end of life, it naturally has nothing to do with danger." When I finished speaking, I had already entered Yi's house, and I saw Yi Lin's parents huddled in an easy chair in a corner, looking devastated. When they saw us, they bounced up, and I hurriedly said: "The matter is still there I don’t have a clue, so don’t rush to ask questions.” When the two heard this, their expressions were extremely disappointed and depressed, and they sat down again slumped, and Yi's mother began to cry.
