Chapter five hundred and twenty-one
Snowflakes had been falling all night, and the sky gradually became clearer in the early morning.
Kangran had been sitting at the desk looking at the brocade box on the table. He had been leaning on the chair like this all night and meditating.
Fate gave him a vague beginning a thousand years ago, but gave him a clear ending a thousand years later. Can the impermanence of the world be explained in this way?
Kang Qi brought hot tea in and asked softly, "Sir, it's time for breakfast...".
"Well...how is Senior Brother Xiang?" Kangran asked with a low sigh. How could he be in the mood to eat?
"It's just a few scratches, it's fine..." Kang Qi tried to ask again, "Senior Brother Xiang asked you if you want to open this brocade box? He said there is something you are looking for in it!".
"No, you can't open it either..." Kang Ran signaled Kang Qi to step back. According to the information revealed by Yin Yue, Lin Sen found this brocade box in the underground palace, but failed to open it despite all his efforts.
I was also afraid that this rare treasure would fall into the hands of others, so I went to great lengths to create many false and fake cases in an attempt to lure the treasurer astray.
If you are unlucky and meet a super master like Kang Ran who is unparalleled in terms of talent, intelligence and agility, you can crack all his traps, but you will lose at the last step and be killed or injured by the explosion.
ending.
But Kangran's wisdom and acumen were obviously beyond his imagination. In the end, not only did he suffer no casualties, but he also successfully got back what he wanted.
Fate often makes such unacceptable jokes. I wonder what Lin Sen will think after hearing the news.
Kangran's eyes fell back on the brocade box. The dragon-patterned sandalwood box that he dug out earlier was already priceless, but it was still slightly inferior to this brocade box because it was only half the size of a laptop.
The configuration of the box is more noble and luxurious.
There was something hidden inside that he had been looking for in this life but didn't know where to look. Now that he had found it, he was not in a hurry to open it.
Those past memories that he was willing to think of and those that he had been avoiding, right and wrong, love and hatred, each scene flashed clearly before his eyes.
He once thought that when he buried this thing, those memories and past would be buried deep down, turned into smoke and flying dust from another world, and submerged in the long river of history.
But today, thousands of years later, he still has to tear apart the old memories that have been sealed for too long with his own hands to face all that. He is not afraid of taking responsibility and facing it, but feels it is ridiculous and laughs at his own ignorance.
and powerless.
Because after clearing away all the fog, the so-called fact is really ridiculous.
Kang Qi has been waiting in the corridor outside. He is afraid that if his husband gives orders, no one will follow him.
Kang Xiaodie will give birth to a baby soon and has already gone to the hospital to await delivery. Kang Rong has betrayed the Kang family and is now missing.
There was no one around to serve him at the moment, so Kang Qi improvised and stayed by Kangran's side to serve his husband's food and daily life. Although Kangran had never used him to serve him, his loyalty was still worthy of recognition.
Xiang Guang saw that there had been no movement in the study, and he was curious to come over and have a look. According to his professional habits, he would never encounter such a mysterious and priceless antiquities in a century, and it was unrealistic to say that he was not interested in seeing it.
However, the gentleman did not give any instructions and they did not dare to ask any more questions. They could only wait in the corridor outside to blow the cold wind. Fortunately, the snow had stopped, at least it was not a miserable sight to be covered in snow by the wind.
Kang Ran also knew their thoughts very well. He had to go through many twists and turns and narrowly escaped death to solve all the troubles. This thing was not meaningless to them.
At least they should know what is hidden in the box and who is its real owner.
"Come in!" Now that the time has come, he has no choice whether he likes it or not.
Kang Ran was not a Taoist and would not open a lock with a complicated internal structure. At this time, he looked at the extremely luxurious brocade box and did not move. Kang Qi and Xiang Guang were both Taoists and they just stood aside and watched.
Because they didn't even see where the lock was.
This brocade box has been locked for nearly a thousand years, and has never been opened by anyone except its original true owner.
This is enough to show that the lock on this box is also of unprecedented quality. They also want to see more and broaden their horizons, but there is no lock on that box at all.
Because there is no actual object like a 'lock' visible, if it were a high-tech touch fingerprint lock, it would have been impossible to do it due to the technology that was not so developed thousands of years ago.
"Sir, can you let me take a look at it?" Kang Qi wanted to get closer and hold it in his hand to study it. When encountering a problem, you have to try to solve it, right?
"Back off!" Kangran's fingers flicked on the lid of the box a few times, signaling them to move some distance away.
Isn't it the risk of explosion again?
Kang Qi couldn't help but ask again, "Sir, can you... do it?".
Kang Ran sighed softly and shook his head. Xiang Guang wisely retreated to the window. Kang Qi had no choice but to follow him. Sometimes talking too much is really annoying.
There is no lock on the lid of the brocade box, and it is carved with five flying dragons inlaid with gold. The dragon bodies are coiled around the top wall of the box in turn, and the dragon's eyes are inlaid with round and transparent beads.
The weather was exceptionally clear after the snow, and the sun shone through the window on the brocade box on the desk. In the golden glow, the dragon seemed to be swimming up and down.
The beads in the dragon's eyes reflected the rising sun and glowed with a halo of five-colored glass. There seemed to be a slight roar of a dragon between the flashes of light.
"Amazing!" Kang Qigang whispered secretly, and Kang Ran put his hands on the swimming dragon pattern and flicked his fingers.
A low and soft music passed by, and the melodious rhyme of 'Cheng Teng' spread out like flowing water. The five glass beads in the dragon's eye slowly rotated in different directions with the ups and downs of the music. This brocade box
There is no 'lock' setting on it.
But the way it opens is unmatched by any high-end Kit Kat lock.
No one would have thought of using such a method to hide the secret, and no one would have thought of using such a method to crack the secret. Therefore, the only person who can make this secret known to the world is the original designer himself.
When the song ended, the lid of the box popped up.
In an instant, golden light suddenly bloomed, and the study room was instantly covered by a dazzling glass light. The golden light shone like Mount Sumeru.
"So... it's really you?" Xiang Guang raised his hand to cover the dazzling light and sighed to himself.
Kang Qi turned to look at Xiang Guang in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiang knows this treasure? What is it?".
Xiang Guang shook his head slightly and signaled Kang Qi not to ask any more questions. Mr. Kang could not be disturbed at this time.
Kang Ran put his hand on the brocade box and sighed softly, "I... am back! You... should wait until I come back to find you...".
The golden light in the brocade box flashed rapidly for a few times, and gradually condensed into a strand of golden silk. Then it spiraled up Kang Ran's arm. After several twists, it soon seemed to disappear.
His body also disappeared.
The window suddenly cracked, and something broke through the glass window and latched directly onto the brocade box in front of the desk. Kangran took two steps back to avoid it, and the thing grabbed the brocade box as nimbly as a finger.
As soon as you collect it, it disappears.
Someone dares to steal such an important treasure in front of Mr. Kang's eyes. Is he crazy or is he impatient and looking for death?
This was because the Kang family didn't take them seriously. Kang Qi turned around and wanted to chase them out.
"It's okay, no need to chase!" Kang Ran just smiled, it was just an empty box, just give it to them if you like it.
"That is an antique, priceless!" Kang Qi was surprised, "Sir, do you really not want to pursue it?".
Kangran shook his wrist lightly a few times, and after feeling that the strand of silk had merged with him, he asked, "Compared with priceless money or your life, which one do you choose?".
"Oh? Yes... Sir, my subordinates know..." Kang Qi took two steps back in embarrassment. It is true that the box is valuable, but compared with those external things, of course his own life is more important.
"Golden strands of soft silk!" Xiang Guang congratulated Kang Ran with a smile, "Congratulations, Master Xie Ran, for recovering this supreme holy object!".
Kang Ran had never expressed any joy, but at this moment he still shook his head and sighed, "They were all legends thousands of years ago. Now...as long as we can return to a peaceful and prosperous age, nothing else matters!".
"Yes! I understand Master's teachings, and I will remember them..." Xiang Guang bowed respectfully, "Now that Sir has fulfilled his wish, if there are no other instructions, I will return to the Lan family to resume my life...".
"That's fine. It's just that the matter is not over yet. Senior brother, please be careful. Thank you very much!" Kang Ran returned the gift politely. Since they are all living in this world, there is no distinction between them.
