As for He Jianqiang, I was originally just wondering why he didn't rush towards me with a yell like last time when he saw me this time, but then after seeing his actions, I immediately felt that he must have something more important to hide.

Looking at me, thinking about it, even what he said just now that I am the incarnation of Buddha seems not simple. But at this time, I didn't have time to think about it. Seeing his hand taking it to the box on the machine, I hurriedly

He quickened his pace, trying to get ahead of him.

At this moment, He Xiaoqiang took a step forward intentionally or unintentionally, which happened to block my progress. I felt anxious and instinctively wanted to throw his hand away. As for whether it would cause any trouble?

The good consequences are not something I can think about now. I just think that I can't let He Jianqiang take that box

Take it away. Although I don’t know what’s inside yet, I can tell by He Qiang’s look that it must be very precious. This is the only way to stop him now, but He Xiaoqiang’s hand squeezes my hand tightly.

He couldn't get rid of it at all. After such a delay, He Jianqiang's hand finally touched the box.

I glared at He Xiaoqiang fiercely, but at this time I didn't care about worrying about anything anymore. Instead, I hurried to the stone machine to see what was in the box. He Xiaoqiang didn't stop me this time.

I quickly walked to the stone machine and saw He Jianqiang pressing the stone machine tightly with one hand.

The box on the top was full of excitement, but I was not in a hurry to open it. I took a closer look at the box. It was boxy and looked very ordinary. If there is anything surprising, it is that the box is extremely well made.

, antique, with a peony flower carved on the outside, the same as the jade pendant.

I don’t know why He Qiangqiang grabbed the box but didn’t open it, but this was actually a good thing for me. I pointed at the box with my free hand and said, “What’s inside?”

He Jianqiang shook his head and said, "I don't know." Although he said this, the hand on the box refused to be taken off no matter what.

The more he behaves like this, the more doubtful I become. But let’s not say that it’s the father and son here now. Even if there is only one of them, I’m not my opponent, so no matter how big my opinion is, I don’t dare to go too far.

It's too obvious, unless I have a way to escape from this stone room alone, so that I can trap them using the formation guarding the cave. Since I can't do that now, I have to try my best to keep my temper, so I said lightly: "Then

Why don't you open it and take a look?"

He Jianqiang shook his head again, with a wry smile on his face: "I can't open it."

When I heard this, I was furious, thinking that you were occupying this box even though you couldn't open it. It was a typical example of occupying a manhole and not taking a shit. I was slanderous, but I didn't dare to show it on my face, and I had to squeeze out a smile.

Said: "Show me."

"Show me." As I was talking, a voice rang together with me. It was He Xiaoqiang, who had been holding my hand. When I heard him speak, I couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in my heart, not to mention the two of them.

In terms of the father-son relationship, even with the skills he has mastered, He Jianqiang must give the box to him first. No wonder he still occupies it and prevents others from touching it even though he can't open it himself.

He Xiaoqiang took a step forward, He Qiangqiang let go of his hand, and I moved closer. I saw that the box was square and there was no gap in it. When I walked in, I realized that it was not correct to say it was a box. Strictly speaking, it was not a box.

It is like a solid cube. Except for the carving of a peony on the five sides including the front, back, left, right and top, there really is nothing special about it. It does not look like a box that can store things at all.

He Xiaoqiang frowned and looked at the wooden block, glanced at me, then looked at He Jianqiang and Zhang Zuo, motioning for them to go over. He Xiaoqiang walked to me and grabbed it with his free hand without saying anything.

With my other free hand, Zhang Zuosheng also loosened his grip on He Xiaoqiang's hand.

Hand, in this way, although the four people are still connected together, their positions have changed. I was originally ranked first, followed by He Xiaoqiang, Zhang Zuo, and He Jianqiang. But now it is reversed, becoming

He Qiangqiang took the lead, and those in line behind him became me, He Xiaoqiang, and Zhang Zuo.

I knew that He Xiaoqiang did this to free up a hand to inspect the solid wooden block, so I didn’t say anything more. Sure enough, He Xiaoqiang looked at it for a while, then stretched out his hand to put it on the wooden block.

, I tried to lift it up with a little force on my hand, but the solid piece of wood didn't move at all, as if it was born on the stone machine. He Xiaojian

He said "Hey" forcefully and put more force on his hands, but the wooden block still didn't move. Now even I felt a little incredible. I know He Xiaoqiang's hand strength, even if this big piece of wood is in front of me

They were all made of iron, and it would shake a few times when he lifted it so hard, but I didn’t know what kind of wood it was, and it was actually heavier than iron.

Seeing that he couldn't lift the wooden block, He Xiaoqiang simply let go of his hand, leaned down and studied the wooden block carefully. I couldn't see anything when I looked up, so I had no choice but to give up and put all the pieces together.

All hope was placed on He Xiaoqiang. After a while, He Xiaoqiang straightened up and said, "This is not an ordinary piece of wood."

I thought to myself that this is really nonsense. Now even a blind person can see that this piece of wood is not ordinary, but I know that He Xiaoqiang will not just say such nonsense. Sure enough, he went on to say: "If I read it correctly, this piece of wood is not ordinary."

In fact, it should be a mechanism box, but I can’t tell the specific age.”

"Mechanism box?" I blinked and said, "In other words, this is actually a box, but you need to crack the mechanism inside it?"

He Xiaoqiang nodded, and I asked: "How to break it?"

He Xiaoqiang shook his head at me and said, "I don't know."

I was so anxious that I almost cursed. I didn’t know what this was. But once I knew it was a well-made mechanism box, I wanted to know more and more what was hidden inside. The box looked small and boxy.

, the side length is only about 20 centimeters, and I don’t know what will be placed inside. However, He Xiaoqiang said that he could not crack this mechanism. Considering that the mechanism is so sophisticated, I am afraid that the things inside are definitely worth a lot of money.

Maybe the secret of the legendary "Seventy-Three Evils" lies here.

This made my heart itch more and more, and I even began to wonder if He Xiaoqiang really couldn't crack this mechanism, but whether he really couldn't or said he didn't want to, now the four of them could only look at the box helplessly.

I don't know what to do, but this box is ridiculously heavy, otherwise I would just take it outside. Even if it is really a piece of iron, I will take a file and file it a little today and file it a little tomorrow to get it open, but now I can only stare.

.

Looking at this wooden box, I suddenly remembered again the strange feeling I had when I first entered this stone chamber. At that time, I couldn't help but think of what He Xiaoqiang told He Xiaoqiang about the piece of stone that was first discovered by his ancestors.

The details of the jade pendant, the environment here now is very similar to that there, plus He Jianqiang’s

Abnormal behavior, I was sure there must be some connection between the two, so I pretended to talk casually and asked: "This place is really similar to the ancient tomb first discovered by your ancestors. I don't know.

How did that ancestor open the box on the stone machine and find the jade pendant inside?"

I tried to make these words as understated as possible, but my eyes were still staring at He Jianqiang from the corner of my eye. Sure enough, as soon as he heard what I said, his face suddenly changed. On the contrary, He Xiaoqiang looked thoughtful, obviously also

Thinking about this issue made me even more sure that He Jianqiang was hiding something from me, and even from his son.

Just when I was secretly vigilant about my discovery, Zhang Zuo suddenly said: "I think maybe I know how to crack this box."

This sentence really surprised us. Everyone looked at Zhang Zuo, which made him nervous. He stammered: "My idea is... very simple. Look at the other side."

All the stone chambers are filled with his portraits, and although there is only one box that cannot be opened, all places in this chain have one thing in common, that is, only he can enter."

After saying a few words, Zhang Zuo gradually began to speak fluently, and the eyes of several of us suddenly lit up, because the words hit the point all of a sudden. Zhang Zuo continued: "I always believe that this place

It must be related to him, and the person in those paintings must be him, so I think this thing should also belong to him. Only he can open it, and he must be able to open it."

After saying that, he looked straight at me. He Jianqiang and his son also stared at me. I sighed and said, "You really think highly of me. The problem is that even if all this is true, I don't know how to open it."

it."

When I said these words, I kept looking at He Jianqiang with my peripheral vision. His face was originally full of excitement because of Zhang Zuosheng's words, but when he heard what I said, his face immediately turned pale again. At this time

Zhang Zuodi said: "Maybe there is a way to try."

I asked curiously: "What can I do?"

Zhang Zui took a few steps forward, walked to the box, pointed to the peony on the top of the box with his free hand, and said, "Try it with your blood, drip it in the middle of the stamens."

I thought to myself that I finally understand the reason why you have been a secret agent of the Holy See in China for more than ten years but have not achieved any results at all. You have nothing to do in love and you read fantasy novels every day. What is this? Confession of the Lord with a drop of blood? I almost wanted to

Laugh out loud.

But Zhang Zuosheng still looked at me seriously. I couldn't help laughing and asked: "Which author do you like the most?"

Zhang Zui was stunned, obviously not knowing what I was talking about. I sighed and said, "Where did you know this method?"

This statement is already relatively euphemistic. If he said he saw it from above, then I would definitely not have a good face to show it to him. But to my surprise, Zhang Zuo looked serious and said: "Actually, there is one thing

You may have forgotten that there is also a very famous box in the West."

We were all stunned for a while and didn't think about it. Just when Zhang Zuodi was about to speak, I suddenly exclaimed: "You mean that box?"
