Waste prince: Why do you force me to be emperor?

by candlelight.

The things in the jade box shone with a cold metal light, which was very charming.

The two ends of the object are small and the middle is large, but it is made of pieces of metal, which looks very weird!

Xia Tian stretched out his hand to take it out, and his hand was extremely heavy.

This metal is extraordinary, like iron but not iron, like steel but not steel.

Xia Tian squinted his eyes, put the ball of metal on the desk, pulled out the waist knife, filled his hands with true energy, attached the blade, and slashed down with all his strength.

"clang......."

The blade collided with the metal, making a huge sound of refined iron.

After a slash with a knife, there was a trace of white marks on the metal, which was not damaged at all and was extremely strong.

But the steel knife was broken with a small gap.

Xia Tian was a little surprised: "Aunt Hong, do you know what this is?"

Qin Hongyi nodded: "This thing is called the Longevity Lock!"

"It's something made by the weird master of Jixia Academy."

"Back then, he brought this thing to the school, pointed to the scholars of all schools, and said that the secret of immortality was contained in this thing, so it was called the Longevity Lock."

"Whoever can solve it will get the secret of longevity."

"Then, Mrs. Weird, I will ask the scholars of all schools to solve it one by one!"

"But in the end, no one can solve it!"

Xia Tian's eyes are full of wisdom: "This thing is really difficult to solve!"

"and after?"

Qin Hongyi continued: "Later, the weirdo master put the longevity lock in the middle of the school, and let all the masters untie it!"

"However, one year has passed, and no one can solve the longevity lock!"

"Later, all the wise and famous people in the nine countries tried it, but no one could solve it!"

Speaking of this, Qin Hongyi suddenly remembered something, and her beautiful eyes lit up: "Xiaotian, it is recorded in the inheritance of the Longevity School that on the night when the fire broke out in the Jixia Academy, the weirdo master once said that if you can't solve it, Then he will put this eternal life lock in a secret place, waiting for someone who is destined!"

"Then, that night, the fire in the Jixia Academy happened, and then the incident of the ascension of the eccentric Master!"

"And this longevity lock also disappeared in the fire!"

"My long-lived ancestor thought that this thing was taken to the sky by the strange man's wife, so there has been no trace of this thing for a long time."

"I never thought about it, but now I appear in the secret room of the Yangzhou Palace!"

"This is very strange!"

There was a flash of light in Xia Tian's eyes: "Aunt Hong, you said that the gangster went to the secret room to steal the longevity lock and found the clue in the vertical and horizontal cheat book?"

"Yes!"

The corner of Xia Tian's mouth curled up into a sneer: "It seems that the gangster is indeed a pawn of Zongheng Patriarch!"

"The purpose is to deliver this longevity lock to me!"

Qin Hongyi's eyes flickered with murderous intent: "Xiaotian, you mean...the ancestor Zongheng couldn't open this thing, so he sent it to you for you to solve?"

"Yes!"

Xia Tian thought a little more: "If the poison of the concubine mother is also caused by him, then everything makes sense!"

"He will come to the door."

Qin Hongyi raised his head and asked, "Old thief Bai, is there any movement outside?"

The voice of the white tiger came: "There are people who are staring at us and can't tell who it is for the time being?"

Qin Hongyi lowered her head, but still couldn't help asking: "Xiaotian, can you unlock this longevity lock?"

Xia Tian picked up the Longevity Lock and examined it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more difficult it became: "I don't know!"

This thing also has a name in China Time and Space, called Lubansuo.

Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period of China, in order to test whether his son was smart, Luban made a toy that could be assembled and disassembled with six wooden sticks, which was the origin of Luban lock.

Later, Lu Ban made it into a kind of mysterious lock, which cannot be unlocked without great wisdom, it is very mysterious!

Of course, in another legend, Lubansuo was made by Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period according to the principles of gossip and metaphysics, so Lubansuo is also called Kongmingsuo.

Anyway, no matter what kind of legend is true, Lu Bansuo is full of mysterious mysteries.

No matter how simple the Luban lock is, it needs wisdom to solve it.

As for the most complicated Luban lock, it must have great wisdom to solve it.

The Luban lock in front of Xia Tian looks complicated and mysterious, difficult to handle.

There were so many wise men gathered in Jixia Academy back then, and they couldn't unlock this lock. It was not easy to imagine.

Xia Tian thought for a while, put the Longevity Lock back into the jade box, walked to the side of the cabin, and threw it down.

"Boom..."

The sound of the jade box falling into the water was not loud.

Qin Hongyi's eyes lit up: "Xiaotian, will this jade box come back?"

Xia Tian smiled unfathomably: "Then it depends on the will of Zongheng Patriarch!"

"If he thinks that I am the only one who can untangle the world, he will find ways to send it back."

"At that time, I knew how to deal with it!"

Qin Hongyi laughed and said, "If you are talking about understanding people's hearts, the Holy King should be number one!"

Xia Tian smiled handsomely: "Aunt Hong, Uncle Bai, from now on, strengthen your guard!"

"Yes!"

Qin Hongyi took the order and left.

Xia Tian stood in front of the cabin, watched the scenery on the river bank passing by, and murmured: "Old monster, this king is different from everyone you have met, it's not that you want this king to take over... The king will accept the move."

"What will you do next?"

"Master Weird, what exactly are you hiding in this Luban lock?"

How curious!

At this time.

In the distance by the river bank, two purple figures stood on top of a tree, quietly watching the barren state fleet and cavalry go away.

A purple figure said old-fashionedly: "Go into the water and pick up the things!"

"Think of a way to send it over!"

"Yes!"

Another purple figure flew up, like a swallow, and jumped into the water. The water wetted her purple robe, revealing her graceful figure.

At this time.

The purple-robed man on the top of the tree looked at the sky and murmured: "King of Huangzhou, if you are the one in the prophecy, then you will definitely be able to unlock the longevity lock!"

"Why did you throw it away?"

"Even if you don't know the longevity lock, doesn't the little girl from the longevity school beside you know it too?"

"How can you be willing to lose such a treasure?"

"Don't you want to live forever?"

The purple-robed man thought for a while, and said coldly: "If you can't unlock the secret of the longevity lock, don't blame me for being ruthless to you mother and child!"

"You all have to die!"

"Humph......"

The purple-robed man let out a cold snort, and his figure disappeared on the top of the tree.

After a while.

An old Taoist priest with fluttering white hair rushed over, stood in the position of the purple-robed man, looked around, frowned, and sniffed: "It seems that the rotten breath of an old thing has appeared here?"

"Who is it?"

The old Taoist thought about it...I can't guess!

He continued to run towards the barren state, muttering in his mouth: "Gu Yue, Gu Feng's obedient disciple, why didn't you hear anything from me when you went to the barren state?"

"Does that barren state eat people?"

"Don't be afraid, Master is here!"
