Chapter 8 The Treasure of the Ancient House

When Mo Jin returned to Shen's old house, it was already midnight, and the surroundings were completely silent.

Mo Jin didn't dare to go through the main door, so he opened the side door with the key given to him by Shen Jiangshi, and was about to sneak into his own stairwell, when suddenly someone's voice came from the ground, which made him tremble, and quickly hid behind the doorpost .

The human voice was intermittent, and Mo Jin bent over and followed the sound along the green plants in the yard to the side of the rockery.

The front yard of this ancient Shen family house is very large, with pavilions, flower beds, rockery, fish ponds and so on.

Mo Jin found that the voice came from under the rockery, as if two people were talking in a low voice.

"Old man, do you really want to transfer these objects?"

"What can we do if we don't transfer it? You haven't heard that Yiguo and Baguo have been completely torn apart. All the buildings in Fengcheng of Yiguo that are related to the Dragon City of Baguo will be destroyed."

Mo Jin recognized that the two people who spoke were Shen Wanwan's old parents, and they seemed to want to transfer something.

"Where can so many objects be transferred?"

"Find a safe place."

"Safe? How can there be a safer place than this?"

"Are they allowed to destroy it?"

"This is our Shen family's old house, they will destroy it if they say so?"

"Shen's old house? You and I know exactly who owns this building. The destruction this time is not ordinary. It is said that it was burned down."

"Ah?! Then when will they do it?"

"I don't know the details yet. I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. I must find a way to transfer all the objects."

"Even if there is a safe place, how do you move so many items? Also, except for the outer room, we can't open the inner room at all, and we can't get in. How do you move it?"

"So we have to hurry up and figure out a way."

"Hey, I can't think of a good solution for a while, so let's go to bed first."

Hearing that they were coming up, Mo Jin hurriedly hid in the green bushes.

"Old man, didn't you close the secret door when you went down just now?"

"It's closed."

"Then why is it open?"

"On? Did I forget to turn it off?"

"This is terrible, will others listen to it?"

"Who will hear it at this time, my son and daughter-in-law have already gone to bed."

"Isn't there that kid in the stairwell?"

"He doesn't seem to be at home tonight, don't worry, he's fine."

"The secret door is not closed, we should be able to hear the conversation below, right?"

"There is no one, who can hear it? Don't be suspicious."

"I'm afraid I'll be heard by that kid."

"Oh, my house doesn't lack that coin at all, and the little vixen wants to rent it to that kid."

"This vixen must have taken a fancy to that kid."

"Sooner or later, something will happen."

"Let that kid go away as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Who told your unworthy son to take this vixen as a treasure? Can she listen to us?"

"Isn't my Bai Fan infertile? It's her fault."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be about my family's Bai Fan. Maybe that vixen is a paper chicken that can't lay eggs. It looks good but doesn't work."

"Could it be that my Shen family will be extinct here? If so, how can I be worthy of my ancestors, and how can I explain to the Lord, alas!"

"I wish God would bless me and let me hold my grandson as soon as possible. Then we can dedicate the following objects to the gods."

"Old woman, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

"Old man, do you still remember the Lord's last words?"

"What are your last words at this time?"

"Aren't you going to transfer these objects?"

"so what?"

"Didn't the lord say before he died that someone who is destined will come to open the inner room and tell us not to act rashly, otherwise we will be killed."

"After so many years, has anyone come? Now that the government is going to destroy the old house, why don't we just wait and destroy it?"

"Old man, it's better to say less about the polite words you learned from the Lord, so as not to make outsiders suspicious, we are just vegetable sellers."

"Hmph, vegetable seller, people who live in such an ancient house will not be suspicious."

"In this case, let's just wait for the predestined person to come."

After the old couple of Shen Hou nagging and walking away, Mo Jin crawled out from the green bushes.He stretched his almost numb legs first, and then tiptoed to the side of the rockery, trying to find the secret door that the old couple mentioned just now, but he couldn't find the secret door after searching for a long time.

"Squeak!"

Just as Mo Jin was carefully looking for the secret door, Shen Wanwan came out of the back room with a lantern in his hand, and Mo Jin hurriedly hid behind the rockery.

"Slave dog, if you haven't come to pick me up until now, if you don't make it to Taofu by noon, I will kill you."

Shen Wanwan cursed and walked out of the gate.

Mo Jin saw that it was the time when the cock crowed, and he couldn't find the secret door at once, so he had to go back to the stairwell where he lived.

Just taking off his coat and preparing to sleep for a while, he heard Shen Jiangshi calling him softly outside the door:

"Xiao Langjun, please open the door."

Mo ignored it and pretended not to hear.

"Xiao Langjun, open the door quickly, or I will kick it in!"

Mo Jin had no choice but to open the door, and saw Shen Jiang standing at the door wearing only a piece of tulle.

"I'm sleeping."

Mo Jin blocked the door frame with his hand, not wanting her to come in.

"Xiao Langjun, let me in first, I have a treasure to show you."

Shen Jiang squeezed into the stairwell abruptly.

"What baby?"

"That short man went out in a hurry today and dropped this object on the ground. Take a look, what exactly is it?"

Shen Jiangshi handed a small black object to Mo Jin.

Mo Jin took the object and examined it carefully.

This object is extremely smooth, shiny black, oval in shape, and transparent throughout. If you stare at it for a long time, you can see something wriggling inside.

"Xiao Langjun, what do you think this will be?"

Shen Jiang's head rested on Mo Jin's shoulder, and the hot air he exhaled stimulated Mo Jin's adrenaline.

"It should be a piece of jade."

Mo Jin avoided Shen Jiangshi, and pointed the jade at the candlelight to observe carefully.

"Jade? Why are there insects moving inside?"

"It shouldn't be a bug, it's changing shape."

"It's getting brighter, it's brighter!"

"It seems to be looking at me."

The little moving thing inside gave Mo Jin a very kind and ethereal feeling that he hadn't seen for a long time.

It feels like the concentration value of meditation has reached the top!
"Look at you? Let me see."

Shen Jiang took the jade from Mo Jin.

"Why doesn't it light up?"

"I don't know what's going on. The things inside have become motionless, and have become the same as when I just brought them over."

Shen Jiang shook the jade repeatedly, but the jade did not respond.

"I'll take a look."

Mo Jin took the jade from Shen Jiangshi.

"It's bright again, it's moving again!"

"It's looking at me, it's looking at me!"

At this time, a stream of heat was transmitted from the jade to Mo Jin's body, which was extremely warm.

"It's strange, why there is no reaction in my hand. Will it light up and move in your hand? Let me try again."

Shen Jiang took back the jade from Mo Jin.

"Why isn't it on again?"

Mo Jin shuddered, and the warmth just now disappeared.

"Is there something wrong with my hand?"

Shen Jiang felt incredible, walked out of the stairwell holding the jade stone in his hand and talking to himself, and walked towards his bedroom.
