Live fortune-telling: beauty, you have a bad omen

"Um, do you still have catalogs or lists of these books here? It's a pity that they were burned directly like this. If you have a list of books here, you may still be able to read them in the library in the capital city." You can find it, Zengcheng's library is very large, and it collects a variety of books, maybe you can find these books with the book list."

Chen Huai didn't speak, and after digging through the pile of old books for a long time, he found a small thick booklet with a very plain cover.

The booklet looks like the paper is cut very rough, like man-made, even the side of the booklet, the position of the spine is still sewn with needlework.

Chen Huai cleared his throat, his complexion improved slightly, but his tone was still a little heavy, "Is there a book list? I don't know too well, but when I brought out the ancient books, I found this booklet. If I didn't If I remember correctly, the booklet should record the experience of the master in the early years. I thought this booklet was lost long ago, but I didn't expect it to be in the pile of ancient books..."

Lin Juan wanted to quickly change the subject so that Chen Huai would not be burdened with grief all the time, so she said, "Since your master is recorded in the booklet, your experience in the early years may be uncertain, and your master will also be included in the booklet." The names of the collected books are also uncertain."

Chen Huai nodded silently, roughly classified the rescued books, calculated them, and found that there were only about twenty books left that could have filled a small bookcase, he couldn't help but sighed in frustration .

He stared blankly at the flames that were gradually starting to go out, and said firmly, "Don't let me find out who set the fire, otherwise, I will definitely make him pay the price..."

Lin Juan also didn't expect that after such a short time, someone, who had already held a grudge in her heart for a long time, went directly to Chen Huai's residence and burned the Taoist temple with a torch.

She looked at Chen Huai and asked, "What are you going to do now? You must not be able to live in this Taoist temple. Why don't you go back to grandpa with me today? Let's go to the capital together in a few days!"

Chen Huai sighed, looking at the ancient books he rescued from the fire, his eyes were full of painful emotions that Lin Juan could not understand.

He pulled up the corner of his lips, smiled perfunctorily, and said in a helpless tone, "It's the only way to go now. Now that the fire has been extinguished, I plan to look inside again to see if there is anything left. Did you come down? After all, after all..."

Lin Juan also knew that his current mood would not be much better, so she nodded obediently and followed Chen Huai, and accompanied him to search for things in the ruins of the Taoist temple.

Lin Juan looked at the small and very warm Taoist temple, which turned into a dilapidated and miserable appearance in front of her eyes, and couldn't hold back a single pillar. She sighed.

However, the reservedness of being a lady of the family still made Lin Juan picky to use the branches she picked up to find something of some value in the burnt scorched earth and dust.

The atmosphere here seemed to freeze. Lin Juan was not used to the silence of asking Chen Huai, so she couldn't hold back, and casually brought up some topics.

"There's nothing here, Daoist Chen, why is there such a big fire in the Taoist temple? The firefighters next to it haven't come yet? Aren't you afraid that the fire caused here will also ignite the surrounding forest?"

Chen Huai pursed his lips, and with some effort pushed aside the charred upper part of a pillar that collapsed.

He took two steps back, pinching his nose, avoiding the dust raised by the pillar hitting the side, and said without turning his head, "There is no fire station here, at most there is a forest protection station, but the fire station there People basically don't care about things, unless the fire is too big, and it really burns to their eyes, they will raise their brows and start to worry."

Lin Juan's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't know what to say for a long time, she could only be a little annoyed, she stretched out her foot and kicked the black residue beside her foot.

Unexpectedly, because of this unintentional move, Lin Juan suddenly heard a very crisp sound, like the sound of a golden weapon when a stone collides with some metal product.

She followed the sound curiously, and with the branch she picked up in her hand, she scratched it a few times, and then she saw a small copper box that looked very delicate, appearing in front of her eyes.

The box as a whole doesn't look big, only as long as her forearm, and the color looks full of age, with a layer of turquoise patina attached. It looks like the box is actually made of bronze?
Lin Juan put the branch aside and lifted the box.

I want to see what switch is on the box, or what keyhole is there to open the box.

After turning it over for a long time, Lin Juan found with some regret that there was not even a single seam on the surface of the box, except for the embossed pattern on the top, which seemed to be engraved with some incomprehensible things.

Just playing with it for a while to find the gap, Lin Juan felt that the muscles of her two arms had begun to ache faintly. The box was so heavy that there must be something terrible inside.

Lin Juan, while thinking so in her heart, subconsciously changed the chatterbox. Although she regretted not being able to hear the heavy impact sound from the box, Lin Juan still looked at the box so beautifully, and even said it It is an exquisite exterior relief, and I feel more and more that there is something extraordinary in it.

However, if you want to open this box, there may be some special method.

After a while, Lin Juan put the heavy box at her feet resignedly, and turned her head to remind Chen Huai.

"Master Xiaodao, Master Xiaodao, come over and have a look. I found a...uh, it feels like a bronze box and it's quite heavy to lift. Do you know what's inside?"

When Chen Huai heard Lin Juan's call, he immediately walked over. He also looked at the box curiously, and searched for what the box was in his mind based on his own memory.

Seeing the other party's calm look, Lin Juan couldn't help urging, "Little Taoist priest, don't you know what's in this box?"

For some reason, looking at this beautiful and exquisite box, she always felt a sense of surprise about opening the blind box and full of anticipation.

Chen Huai looked at the outside of the box for a long time, carefully inspected the exquisitely carved patterns on the outside of Xiazi, and wiped away the black ash in some gaps, then shook his head at Lin Juan.
