Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2335 No wonder!

Xue Ruitian was very curious about Jin Miaomiao and was the first to rush into the house. The others followed him and came to the big pit.

"So deep?" Shen Haolin looked at Shen Cha, then at Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, "How did you think of digging here?"

"My sister said there was always a bright light flashing here, so she asked us to dig here, and as a result," Shen Jiu pointed to the opened iron box, "we dug this thing out."

"It's strange. It was buried so deep. How did the two sisters see it?" Xia Jiu looked at Shen Cha and Mei Lin. "We didn't react at all."

"The beam!" Shen Cha raised her eyebrows. "I also find it a little weird. Why can we see it from above but not from below?" She looked at Jin Miaomiao. "Just like Xiao Jiujiu said, it's buried so deep that even if it's on the beam, it shouldn't be found. This doesn't make sense."

"You are all right. It is indeed not very reasonable, but it was done. Maybe it is destined that we will find this box." Jin Miaomiao chuckled and pointed at the iron box. "It is made of black iron, quite thick, and there are many mechanisms inside. It took a lot of effort!"

"Black iron?" Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian looked at each other, and the three of them moved over and took a closer look at the box. "It really lives up to its reputation!"

"What do you think?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin and picked up the box with both hands. "Could it be this? After all, there are not many things made of black iron. In recent years, I have only heard of one thing made of black iron."

"It's possible." Shen Cha nodded gently and looked at the things placed next to the box. There were scrolls, a few small cloth bags, and a dagger. "It looks like it should be it."

Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu were completely confused and had no idea what they were saying.

"Cousin, cousin!" Xia Jiu pulled Shen Haolin, "What do you mean? What rumors? What is made of black iron?"

"There was a rumor in the previous dynasty that there was a black iron box in the palace, which was specially used to store the belongings of a wise man. And this wise man was the Taizu Dingwu Emperor of the previous dynasty. The things stored in the box were the biggest weakness and weakness of Emperor Dingwu's bloodline."

"Ah? What's wrong with his bloodline?" Shen Jiu was stunned after hearing what Shen Haolin said. "Isn't he just like ordinary people, who all go through birth, aging, sickness and death?"

"The previous dynasty lasted for nearly four hundred years. Although there were various natural and man-made disasters in the middle, the royal bloodline and power were preserved. However, every emperor and royal children of the previous dynasty had some problems, right?" Shen Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, "Let's not talk about the distant past. Let's just talk about the one in front of us. Doesn't he have many problems?"

"The one in front of us?" Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu exchanged glances, "Master Falian?" "Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Isn't his problem obvious?" Seeing that her two younger brothers were still confused, she sighed softly and said, "The previous dynasty had a big problem. All the clans in the world were relatives, and these clans were also relatives. In other words, cousins ​​were everywhere, and the entire court was full of relatives."

"Isn't this good?" Xia Jiu blinked his eyes, "Isn't this just a closer relationship?"

"They are still too young, and they don't know much about medicine, so they don't understand the ins and outs of this." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "If it's a simple relationship like yours with the Duke or the Marquis, it's indeed a close relationship, but they are different. Do you know what the relationship is between Master Falian's father and mother?"

"I don't know!" Shen Jiu shook his head gently, "Are they relatives too?"

"His mother's cousin was his grandfather's concubine and gave birth to his father, but later, for unknown reasons, his father was raised under the name of the queen at the time. A few days ago, I learned about Master Falian's life experience, and I checked some files left by my master, and then I realized that there are so many tricks involved." Jin Miaomiao sighed, looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who had already started to look through the files, and then looked at Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu who looked curious, and said, "Master Falian's grandfather was even a cousin of Master Falian's mother's cousin, but I don't know the details."

"Sister Miaomiao, what you mean is that the royal family and clans of the previous dynasty are actually relatives that are inseparable and difficult to sort out?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao nod, Shen Jiu touched his chin, "I seem to have heard the master say before that such descendants seem to be abnormal."

"It's really not normal. There are many crazy and stupid people." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Not only that, many of them died young." She pointed at the things that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian were looking at, "Also, the royal family of the previous dynasty has a fatal flaw. This is probably what Master Falian cares about the most."

"Once you get hurt, it's very difficult to heal. Even if you heal, you can't get back to the way you were before." Shen Cha said as he looked at it. "If it's an ordinary wound, it will just heal more slowly. But this kind of ordinary wound is just a small cut that we make accidentally in our daily lives. If it's bigger than this, it will fester and basically there's no hope for recovery."

"Not much time left?"

"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded. "This is a defect in their bloodline. Doctors can't do anything about it. So, they try to avoid this kind of situation, but it's hard to completely avoid it. In addition to this, they have another fatal flaw, which is the contents of these three cloth bags. According to the booklet inside, if you touch or take the contents, you will get a rash all over your body at best, or suffocate to death at worst."

"Inside the cloth bag?" Shen Cha opened three cloth bags, and several black balls fell out of them, and it was impossible to tell what they were. "Is this it? There's nothing to tell from it?"

"I just smelled it. If I'm not mistaken, it should be cardamom, cloves and licorice. Although these things are not often used, you know, once you need to open up the orifices and ventilate the air, you will usually use these." Jin Miaomiao chuckled, "Master Falian is already quite old. Even with the blessing of that pill, he will still get sick. He will occasionally have a stuffy nose and sore throat, right? He will eventually use these, but he knows in his heart that he can't use this, so he will naturally be cautious."

"I" Shen Jiu thought for a while, "I probably understand the importance of this iron box. That is to say, it is his deadly thing. If outsiders know about it, they will be easily targeted and even their lives will be in danger."

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "I think this is what they are really looking for. As for the others, they are just a cover!"
