Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven: The House of the Treasure Box

Those aliens gave Shen Wansan a cornucopia in order to thank him, making him "rich in the world". During this process, two points are worth noting.First, it was the distress signal sent by those aliens, only Shen Wansan received it, the others could not receive it, and neither did the floating boy.Naturally, this is because everyone's brain activity is different, so the ability to receive signals is also different. For example, the signals sent by the ghosts who are constantly arguing in the antique shop cannot be received by everyone. Yi Lin may have received more than the shop owner, which is why the accident happened.

Second, those frog-like aliens have a good understanding of the behavior of people on earth. They actually know that "being rich" is the wish of many people on earth, but there is no misunderstanding between this fact and "blessing". Reserved and equated. Therefore, as soon as they heard Shen Wansan's wish, they immediately pointed it out. It is a pity that ten thousand out of ten thousand people on earth will not accept what they point out, and it is useless to say it. Shen Hun continued to speak, which really proved this point. Shen Hun continued: "When I walked to the pond, I saw dozens of frogs gathered together on a basin, looking at me. Before I could open my mouth, I heard a voice: 'You want to be rich in the world, This basin can satisfy you, this basin is filled with gold, and filled with silver──" I heard this, and lost my voice: "There is such a treasure basin in the world." I got the answer: "It's not that there is such a treasure in the world." basin, but there is this treasure basin in heaven.'”

I patted the table: "Do you know what this sentence means?" Shen Hun said: "I thought about it, it means...the treasure basin is a treasure of the immortal family, and it comes from the nine heavens." I said, "You can say that." Shen Hun paused for a moment, then said again: "At this time, a group of frogs jumped away, I quickly held the basin in my hand, but I heard a voice say: 'To be rich in the world is not necessarily a blessing, have you really thought it through?" At this time, I knew that I had met the frog fairy, so I knelt down and replied: "This is something that I don't even need to think about, and I don't regret it anymore!" I heard several sighs, and another said: "Well, you After all, we saved us, we can’t bear to see you suffer, so we will give you another thing.” Come on, something floated out of the pond.”

I lost my voice: "The treasure box?" Shen Hun said: "Yes, the board was holding the treasure box, floated to the surface of the water, and reached the edge of the pond. I am not greedy, so I hurriedly said: 'The gift of the treasure basin is enough, I dare not expect extravagantly.' But the voice said : "When you finish your dead end, there is a way of life for you in this box, but I don't know if you are willing to do it, and I don't know if you will have this opportunity at that time, and you can get on the way of life in time." After these few words, there are many The voice said: "It's a pity! It's a pity!" Then, a group of frogs entered the water together, and there was no more movement. I took the basin and returned... What happened in the future will be the same as the legends. "

I immediately thought that although Shen Hun's narration was close to the truth, it was still not true. What he didn't say must be about the box and the "way to live". Because, judging from what he said, he was later envied by the emperor, convicted, exiled into the army, and suddenly fell from the status of "the richest man in the world". The situation was dire and he was finally forced to die. It has come to an end on a dead end. Under such circumstances, if he had a way out, why would he hesitate? For a long time, he still didn't dare to go out to survive, but just attached his soul to that board.Although I don't know the exact existence of the soul, but I think this kind of attachment to objects will not be too easy.

In the meantime, there are naturally twists and turns. So, I shook my head and said, "Otherwise, you didn't explain why you didn't want to leave your life behind, but you wanted to stick to that board and become... a lonely ghost." Shen Hun didn't respond to my question for a long time, I secretly stamped my feet, thinking that he couldn't respond, and never communicated with us again.After waiting for a long time, I heard his voice again, he let out a long sigh, and continued: "Yes, I still kept some secrets!" After saying this, he paused for a while, and then said: "Before he said 'it's a pity', he had another test and told me: 'The end of life is the same as the end of death. Once you walk on it, you will never look back. You must go. In the end.” At that time, I was eager to become a rich man, so I didn’t think about it. I just asked casually, “What will it be like when the road to survival comes to an end?” I don’t know which one among the many frog fairies answered me:’ Haha! For you, it may be unbearable suffering, you have to think carefully.' After I came to the end of the dead end, I really suffered so much. If the way of life is the same, how can I be willing to suffer again, so I always Hesitant, afraid to... go on the road."

Bai Su frowned: "If you decide to go on the road, what should you do?" Shen Hun paused for another moment, it seemed that he was rather unwilling to tell the whole story, and he only answered a little when he had to ask again.After a while, he said: "The frog fairy said, as long as I make a decision, the treasure box will naturally have... magical powers, send me on my way." After I heard it, I smiled bitterly. After hearing this, it was as if I hadn't heard it.The whole thing is still vague.I couldn't help shouting: "No! No! You have to explain clearly, first tell me what happened to the box after your accident."

Shen Hun said: "After my death, the dead soul has nowhere to go. I only thought that I still have a treasure box. The Frog Fairy once said that this box can help me to survive. Think about whether I really want to be rich in the world. In the midst of nothingness, I have already attached my soul to the board. At that time, the treasure box and the board had already fallen into the hands of someone. It was not until later that each box and board were included In the second-hand shop." Shen Hun's words sounded a lot more true-after his accident, his house was sealed and his house was ransacked, and all his property was naturally scattered. The boxes and boards seemed inconspicuous, and he never told anyone about it after he got it. I have never heard of it, so I got lost and went to a second-hand shop.

His soul actually attached to that board in the "emptiness and mistyness", that is naturally the function of this box, that is, the power arranged by those "frog fairies" to save him. But because he was too traumatized, he was afraid and didn't dare to try again, so he kept procrastinating. The soul's concept of time may be different from ours. For him, he just hesitates for a while, but hundreds of years have passed in the human world. I asked again: "What about those... ghosts who are arguing with you?" Shen Hun sighed: "The lingering ghosts each have their own grievances. They are attached to different objects. I told them about my own experiences. They have always hoped that they can go beyond the sky, thinking that the way of survival that the frog fairy said It's just...it's..."

When he said this, he hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to word it, so I reminded him: "You can be reincarnated as a human?" He said: "It's not entirely true. There is nothing good about being a human being in the next life. It's nothing more than stepping on another dead end!" I was shocked: "Then what are they thinking, do they still want to become immortals?" Shen Hun sighed: "That's exactly what they think, but I don't think so. First, the frog fairy has warned me again and again; second, I just want to become a rich man, and the ending is tragic. , I’m afraid that if I fail to go to heaven, I will fall into the eighteen levels of Avici Hell instead. So I dare not try it myself, and I don’t let them try it, so I have been arguing all the time.”

When he said this, it can be said that he had explained everything very clearly. Of course we heard a very strange story, but after hearing the story, we also found that everything he narrated was of no help to us in finding the missing Yi Lin and Wen Baoyu. Because not only us, but even Shen Wansan's soul doesn't know why the two of them disappeared, nor where the treasure box went. Among the three of them, Lansi was the most anxious, with tiny beads of sweat dripping from her nose.Bai Su held her hand, and said at the same time: "If you want...to survive, you just need to think about walking, right?" Shen Hun answered after a while: "Yes, Frog Fairy said so." Bai Su spoke very slowly: "We want to ask for your help, you just go to survive." Shen Hun cried out: "I don't even know what it is like, where it leads to, I won't go, I want to go, go early!" Bai Su said in a deep voice: "Two people are missing. It is very likely that it is related to the treasure box and the way to survive. You go and find them... there." In fact, Bai Su doesn't know what's going on "over there", so it's very vague. Shen Hun immediately responded: "I'm not going, I'm going, you go on your own." My heart moved: "How do we go?" Shen Hun faltered for a while, then said: "If you want to go, you can go, this is what Frog Fairy said." Bai Su hurriedly said: "Do you have other tricks?" In silence, the three of us shouted in unison: "Speak!" This situation clearly shows that he still has an extremely important key to hide and has never said. Lansi and I were already very angry. Bai Su waved her hand and signaled us to wait a little longer, she said: "Speak up, let's go, if we can find the two missing people, we can naturally find out what is the way to survive, it will be of great help to you, and you can also Let you make up your mind to go or not to go, and don't waste all the painstaking efforts that the frog fairy arranged for you back then. What do you think?" Bai Su's words are extremely reasonable.Shen Hun groaned for a while, and I said, "What other scruples do you have?" Shen Hun said: "I'm just afraid that... the way to survive is really beneficial to me. If I tell you to go and seal the way, wouldn't it ruin my good deed." I snorted and thought to myself, why is this guy so timid and stupid as a hog? No wonder the cornucopia fell into his hands, which caused him great disaster; Play a role.It can be seen that a person's character determines a person's fate, which is really not bad at all.If the cornucopia had not fallen into the hands of a wimpy person like him, the outcome of the winner would have been very different. Bai Su persuaded: "Since it is a way of life, there is no reason why it is so easy to be blocked." Shen Hun was still hesitating, and I shouted: "Lansi, use your spell to deal with lonely ghosts in your head-down technique, and use it!" Lansi immediately agreed: "Yes." As she spoke, she held up the board with both hands. I only saw Lansi lift the board up, and before I saw her make any movement, I felt a voice of deep panic calling: "I said Yes! I said it!" Lansi's eyes shot down, and she fixed the board, and I vaguely felt the frightened sound of Shenhun.Later, I said to Lansi: "The head-down technique is so effective against souls, it frightened Shen Wansan's soul like that at once." Lansi smiled bitterly: "It's really inexplicable. At that time, I actually didn't do anything." I was surprised: "Nothing was done." Lan Si said: "Yes, as soon as I picked up that board, I didn't know what to do, and he surrendered." Suddenly, I understood that Shen Wansan must be extremely cowardly and definitely not a successful person, so if the emperor wants to deal with him, he can't do anything.Once threatened, he immediately surrendered and let the merman fish.Moreover, he is still very indecisive, so that he has never dared to try the way of survival that the frog fairy said. It was purely accidental that those frog fairies were rescued by him back then, I am afraid that he bought the basket of "frogs" because he was threatened by that floating boy. It can be said that this cornucopia and treasure box fell into the hands of a useless person like him.Otherwise, if it falls into the hands of heroes and capable people, I am afraid that even history can be rewritten. But at that time, since Shen Hun screamed urgently, Lan Si slowly lowered the board that was raised high. Shen Hun said: "This board is the home of that treasure box." This sentence sounds abrupt, and I, Bai Su and Lan Si are very puzzled. Incidentally, at this time, Yi Lin's parents had already been dazzled by our words and deeds, and they were inexplicably terrified. Bai Su had locked them in their room and warned them seriously: no matter what sounds they heard, don't come out.They are also obedient. Therefore, the conversation between us and Shen Hun also lacked the constant exclamation from the side. That board is the "home" of the treasure box, this sentence is not easy to understand.Before we asked any more, Shen Hun had already explained: "The Frog Fairy said that this treasure box has great powers, it can be big or small, it can come and go without a trace, it can move and change──" When he said this, I snorted: "Isn't this a living thing?" But Bai Su could accept Shen Hun's words: "Many psychic treasures have this kind of ability." I disagree: "Try to illustrate it with an example." Bai Su said: "Sun Wukong's weapon, the Golden Cudgel, is originally a sea-fixing needle. In the Dragon Palace, it can be used as a pillar, but when it shrinks, it can be placed in the body. When it shakes in the wind, it will be as thick as the mouth of a bowl." I cried out: "What is that, the novelist Yan, can it be done accurately?" Bai Su glared at me: "The novelists hundreds of years ago had such imagination, but you don't?" I smiled bitterly and shook my head, I don't know what logic this is. Shen Hun intervened in our debate: "That's right, the frog fairy said that the treasure box has already been psychic." I was annoyed: "Don't be so wordy, tell me what the Frog Fairy said before it's too late!" Shen Hun hurriedly said: "Frog Immortal said that no matter how the treasure box changes or where it goes, it will always go home. If there is something to ask, you can make him come back." I hurriedly asked, "How can I bring him home?" Shen Hun said: "The Frog Fairy said that if one sees the treasure box, he is willing to live, and he will come back after concentrating on meditating." When Shen Hun said this, he was very frightened. At first I didn't understand what there was to be afraid of, but after thinking about it, I understood. I asked him: "If I beg him to come home, but I regret that I don't want to leave?" If you survive, what will be the consequences?" He has never dared to survive, so he dared not ask for the treasure box to go home, for fear of consequences. Shen Hun said: "I don't know either... Frog Fairy only said that if he repents at that time, the treasure box will be angry." I frowned—I've seen pictures of the treasure basin, it was just a box, but at this moment, it sounded like it was indeed a living thing. From the aspect that he can come and go freely, he is like a vehicle—I would rather be a vehicle, because a vehicle that looks like a box is always easier to accept.Although creatures can be in any shape, especially alien creatures, a creature that looks like a box is always too weird. He still gets angry, and he doesn't know what it looks like when he is angry, and what will happen to him.When he left, the doors and windows were closed, and there was no edge on the wall. Could it be that he has the ability to pass through walls? For a moment, all kinds of weird and chaotic thoughts filled my head, until I heard Shen Hun asking: "Among you, who wants to bring the treasure box home?" Shen Hun's question not only brought my thoughts back from my wild thoughts, but also made me startled: That's right, who wanted to bring that treasure box home? Anyone can make a wish, according to what Frog Fairy said, as long as they make a wish to "make a living", the treasure box will come back home. But I can't say that it doesn't count. After I can't invite the treasure box back, I regret it, saying that I don't want to live anymore.If so, the treasure box will be angry. The consequences of the treasure box's anger are unpredictable. Shen Hun has been hesitating all this time, not daring to make a living, so naturally he won't make up his mind, Bai Su and I glanced at each other, and for a moment, we both had the same thought: What is going on to make a living? ? At that moment, we also hesitated to a certain extent, and realized that Shen Hun had been unable to make a decision, and there were indeed his reasons. Before we could make a decision, Lansi said, "Of course I will." I don't know if she thought about it, but she said "Of course", it was because the matter was related to Wen Baoyu's whereabouts, and she and Wen Baoyu had already had a long-term agreement. Shen Hun said: "Okay, then you alone... start reading." I hurriedly said, "Why? Can't we just watch?" Shen Hun said: "No, the Frog Fairy has repeatedly instructed that it can only be done alone." I sneered: "I don't believe you and you are not watching the situation." Shen Hun's voice sounded very helpless: "I have no form or body, how can I check?" I was stunned for a moment, I am not a soul, naturally I can't know the existence of a soul, I looked at Bai Su, shaking my head: "If the result is that even the blue silk disappears, wouldn't it be more troublesome." In this regard, Bai Su is more courageous than me: "If this is the case, we can still try." Lansi said: "I will try... no matter what the situation is, I will contact you." I murmured: "I hope you can!" Bai Su had already pulled me, Shen Hun suddenly said: "Lend brother Wei's sleeve for use." When I first heard it, I didn't know what he meant by that, but I immediately understood that he was going to leave the board and attach to my sleeve.I waited for a while, but I didn't feel anything at all, I just heard Shen Shen say again: "Girl...the treasure box...how is the way of life, if you know anything, please tell me!" Lansi readily agreed: "Okay!" Bai Su and I stood up together, watching Lansi hold the board, walked into Yi Lin's room, and closed the door. At this time, I felt very strange, not only because there was a ghost attached to my sleeve, but also because this ghost was Shen Wansan, who was once a wealthy man in the world.What's more, I can't imagine what will happen after Lansi enters the room, and how the box "comes home". Bai Su also held his breath, I lowered my voice and asked, "Mr. Shen, you can't know what happened in the room." Shen Hun replied: "I dare not disobey Frog Fairy." Bai Su also lowered her voice: "You can ask Lan Si." I scrambled a sentence in my throat, but I didn't say it. The sentence was "If Lan Si doesn't see the child, who can I ask?" At this time, although Lansi and we were only separated by a door, it seemed as if we were in a different world. I paced up and down in front of the door and asked seventeen or eight times: "What is that box?" Bai Su actually answered every time, most of her answers were "I can't tell", "It can be anything". Sometimes, her answer is more specific, for example: "It is a vehicle that can emit energy, break people down into molecules and transport them to a distant place, for example, to a way of life." I shook my head, still asking the same old question, Bai Su added tirelessly: "He can be big or small, as small as a sesame seed, even if he is still in the room, you can't find him. " I was annoyed: "Why don't you say that he is as small as a speck of dust?" Bai Su said: "What's the difference? Big and small are just a concept. From a human point of view, the vast ocean is extremely large, but in terms of the entire universe, what is the water on the earth? Maybe the entire universe is extremely large. Well, how do you know that there is no sky beyond the sky, and the entire universe is nothing but a tiny drop." I smiled wryly: "It sounds great, but it can't solve the practical problem: what is the box?" Bai Su was very patient: "I can't say it, but it can be a navigator for survival. One thing is for sure, it is of great benefit to human beings to be able to pass through him, from a dead end to a living end, but it's a pity that Shen Yuan didn't dare to make up his mind to go there." On the road, so that I am still a wandering spirit." Shen Hun reacted quite well to Bai Su's discussion, and snorted: "I suffered a loss once, how can I not learn to be smarter." I wondered: "Seriously, what are you afraid of?" Shen Hun sighed: "To be honest, I have suffered terribly if I offended the emperor in the world. I am even more afraid of offending the king of Hades in the underworld—just imagine, the king of Hades is doomed to die in the third watch. , being manipulated by the King of Hades, insisting on going out to survive, is it not a challenge to the King of Hades, there is no reason for the King of Hades not to be very angry. I am afraid that I will not be able to afford it."
