The queen's mouth is open

Chapter 1472 Lock

"This lock..."

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback.

"That's right, a talisman is added to this lock." Dong Chang'an nodded, "I got it from an old talisman master at a great price. It's something he passed down from his ancestors, but he has never seen the key. , I don’t know how to break this thing, according to him, this thing has been passed down for three generations.”

"It has been passed on for three generations but they don't know how to open it? Don't his parents know about it?" Jiang Xiaobai asked wonderingly, "What's inside?"

She didn't know what it was inside, and she couldn't feel it through the iron sheet, but thinking about Dong Changan's eagerness to find herself, it might be related to this thing.

In order to crack this box, he actually found his own place, so the value of the things inside... can be imagined.

"Xiaobai, we are our own people, so I won't hide it from you. If it was someone else, I would definitely not tell them." Dong Chang'an thought for a while and said, "There is very likely a lost rune in it!"

"The lost rune?" Jiang Xiaobai wondered.

"Yes, there are not only runes, but also detailed explanations. As far as I know, there are at least ten articles in it, and its value will be immeasurable." Dong Changan looked at the box with burning eyes, as if he could see through the It's like seeing what's inside.

Today's runes are much less than those in the heyday, because those were lost in the long past. In the early days, these runes were almost transparent, and everyone had a chance to see them. There will be a difference, but later some people or forces began to hide privately. You hide a few powerful runes, and I hide a few, just to pass on these precious runes to my descendants.

However, some runes were hidden and lost, and others were buried in the soil because the sect was destroyed or there was no descendant inheritance.

Some runes have not been hidden, but have been firmly held by certain families or forces, and outsiders have no chance to see them.

Well-informed people like Wei Lao and the others can learn the names and functions of some runes through ancient books, but in fact quite a few runes are "missing", and Wei Lao and the others have never even seen them. Even if you see it, you may not recognize what it is.

For talisman masters, except for some unpopular or useless runes, other runes are treasures, and it can be said that it is the dream of every talisman master to collect all the lost runes.

This is a bit like the archaeological world. Whenever the tomb of a historical figure is discovered, it will cause shocks, because it means that part of the history and culture can be completed, which is of great significance to the civilization of the entire country and even the world. .

And if any country finds a rune that has a wide range of uses and can be used by most of the talisman masters, it will also cause commotion among the world's mysteries——

Every rune is valuable, and some runes that are too difficult to be used by six or seven-star runes are not necessarily precious, because ordinary people can't use them at all, so their greater role is to supplement the rune library and the meaning of academic research , but has little effect in use.

If this box really contains ten lost runes as Dong Changan said, then its value must be enormous!
However, this value is only for Dong Changan, because after he got the rune, he would definitely not share it with other forces, and would only hide it in the association or even use it privately. Almost all talisman masters in the world do this.

Various factions and fruit families rarely share private runes, and everyone will compare or trade privately, but no one will share it selflessly like sharing knowledge, because to a certain extent, the number of runes they have is similar It exists like a "family heirloom".

This is the case even for the Talisman Sect. The sect master and the elders have more runes, and the disciples will only know the high-end products that are circulated in the market. Only those disciples who have been trained will be handed down new runes by the teacher. .

This is also the reason why they admire Jiang Xiaobai so much. There are not many people in the world who are capable, know a lot of runes, and are willing to share them selflessly!

Elder Wei is also much better at doing things than others. After Jiang Xiaobai's consent, the runes she made have been made public by them inside the Fumen, but the outside world doesn't know the news.

It's not that Wei Lao is selfish, but the general environment is like this. This is not something that can be changed overnight. If you want to completely break the status quo, there is only one way...

"You should have also seen that the seal on this lock is very important. It is impossible to use brute force to open it, otherwise it will explode completely, so that there will be nothing inside."

Dong Chang'an pointed at the lock, "I have tried for a long time, but there is nothing I can do about this strange sigil. I have also asked many people about the sigil I drew, but they also don't recognize it. , I thought of you, if anyone can do it, then I think it is only you."

The seal needs to be unlocked by runes, just like poison and antidote, but the premise of unlocking it is that you know what it is, otherwise you will be blind at all.

If you use brute force, it will be destroyed, and there is no way to open it without brute force. Dong Chang'an didn't want to show people this iron box directly. For so long, he used the drawn runes to ask people for advice, but now there is really no other way. The only way is to ask Jiang Xiaobai for advice.

In this case, then simply show her the box, if she can untie it, then share some benefits with her, if she can't untie it, there is no loss.

If Jiang Xiaobai is not good enough, then he will have to spend a lot of money to hire other six-star talisman masters in the world, but this will cost even more.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the box in silence.

"Xiaobai, actually I know that you also have a lot of lost runes in your hand. It should be that your master spent a lot of effort to find them for you. From the few hands you showed in the World Xuanshi Competition, you can See." Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was silent, Dong Changan began to sigh, "Although I don't know how Zhou Xuan got it for you, you should understand my painstaking efforts, and I also want to give my children and grandchildren We keep some things, so if you can help, please feel free to ask, I have no second choice. Also, don't worry, I don't have the slightest covetous heart for your runes."

Jiang Xiaobai must know some lost runes. There is no doubt about it. Dong Changan has long thought hard about how Zhou Xuan obtained these runes, and even wondered whether Jiang Xiaobai still has some hidden characters behind him. Other forces came to help her secretly, but her past was too clean to find any information at all.

So there is no other explanation except that Zhou Xuan bothered to get it.
