The weather is very good today, the breeze is gentle, the sun is high in the sky, and it is almost noon.
When Li Tian got home, he put the sapling hoe aside, collected the debris in the yard, and made an open space to plant trees.
He took a hoe and started to dig the ground, "Eighty, eighty." Using one hoe and two hoe, he dug a big hole in a short while. He kept moving his hands and only heard a clanging sound.
The sound was like the sound of iron colliding.
"Huh? Is there something?" Li Tian frowned slightly and walked forward to take a look.
It was a black iron box, and he dug it out with a hoe.
The box is about thirty centimeters long, and there is a lock on the mouth of the box. It's just an ordinary lock.
"Could it be that the old man left some treasure for me? This old man is serious. If he didn't give it to me when he was alive, he wouldn't be afraid of being dug up by others if he buried it here."
Li Tian directly inserted the sapling into the hole and filled it with soil.
He planned to take the box to the village locksmith and have him open it.
Have lunch now.
"The hens at Aunt Li's place should be laying eggs. Let's have some scrambled eggs today." Li Tian sneaked to Aunt Li's house next door, skillfully crossed the fence in front of the yard and came to the yard.
Two little hens were strolling leisurely in the yard.
He walked to the chicken coop, put his hand in and took out an egg that was still a little warm.
He skillfully climbed over the fence and returned home.
Heat the oil in a pan. High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method.
Simply fry an egg and stir-fry some green vegetables.
Another simple and unpretentious meal.
Aunt Li next door was puzzled when she got home. She looked at the chicken in confusion, "Why didn't the chicken lay any eggs today? Could it be that she had heat stroke..."
Chicken: "No, I didn't. You just got heatstroke. Your whole family got heatstroke."
So it was taken to the creek...
After Li Tian finished eating, he cleaned up the dishes and put them away.
I took the iron box and vegetables and got ready to go to the street.
When I passed by Aunt Li's house, I looked inside and saw that only one of the two leisurely little hens was left, hiding in the corner and shivering.
Li Tian didn't care, he stepped into the fence skillfully, took out two vegetables from the basket and placed them at the door of Aunt Li's house.
He turned around, sprinted, jumped over the hurdle, and tried to leap away, but he tripped and fell on the fence, which almost broke the fence for Aunt Li.
He stood up and patted the dirt on his body, coughing, but no one saw him except a chicken.
He took off the grass he had chewed into his mouth, picked up the vegetable basket, and left calmly.
He went to the street and distributed all the vegetables to his neighbors, leaving two behind and walked to the only locked shop in the village.
Li Tian walked down the street and entered an alley. There was a lock shop deep in the alley. It was deserted and there were no people nearby.
Li Tian walked in with a smile while carrying the dish, and knocked on the door. "Grandpa Li, I want you to help me open the lock."
"Oh, I asked you some polite little boy. It turns out he is Old Man Li when nothing happens, and Grandpa Li's little boy when something happens. Hahaha." A white-haired old man wearing reading glasses in the lock shop looked up and saw Li walking in.
God, said happily.
"Haha, depending on what you said, you are the one I respect the most. The vegetables in the yard have just grown, so I thought of bringing them to you to try.

." Li Tian picked up the basket in his hand and shook it.
"Put the vegetables over there." The old locksmith pointed to a corner with his chin, indicating that he should put it there. "Bring the things here too, and I'll take a look."
Li Tian put down the vegetable basket and handed the dug out small iron box forward.
The old man took the iron box and took a closer look.
Then the old man took out two special unlocking wires and started to work.
While doing it, he also asked, "Where did you dig out this iron box? The soil hasn't been wiped off yet." As he said that, he glanced at him through his reading glasses.
Li Tian scratched his head, sat on the table, looked closely, and said, "I wanted to plant a tree in the yard today, but unexpectedly I found this box. It must have been buried by my grandfather."
Before these two sentences could be finished, the lock clicked open.
"It's so fast. It's amazing. Old Man Li, I didn't even finish my words." Li Tian took the box happily.
The angry old man stood up and pretended to hit him, "I've never seen anyone change his attitude so quickly in my entire life, you brat."
I saw Li Tian thrust his butt out, jumped off the table gracefully, turned around and smiled at the old man.
He ran away with the iron box in his hand, "Just leave the vegetable basket at the door. I'll get it later. Hahaha."
Old Man Li smiled and shook his head helplessly.
Li Tian opened the box and took a look at it on the way back. There were two things in the box, an old letter and a dark compass.
The compass looks very old, with a strong sense of age. But it doesn't look shabby. There are dense white characters on the compass that are incomprehensible.
The compass looks like solid wood, but it feels like jade. Each text is embedded in it.
The compass pointer is still very flexible.
When he got home, he put the iron box aside, placed the compass on the table and took the letter.
The handwriting on the envelope is that of the deceased grandpa.
Li Tian opened the letter and saw the following content:
Xiaotian, if you don't get this box, then let this mission be buried underground forever.
If you still get it, then pass on this mission. I have no right to end this mission, so let God decide.
Today is the new era of martial arts, but this compass is inherited from the ancient era of ancient martial arts. This is a great mission, and we are called biographers.
Since the ancient martial arts era, we have been on a mission to record various major events and secrets about this world from generation to generation. This compass has a spirit and will take you to the place where the incident occurred and record everything you see.
.
We biographers are witnesses of history.
This is a lonely journey, my poor child, are you ready?
The method of using the compass is very simple, just place your palm on it and feel it with your heart.
Grandpa is gone and you have grown up. You must take good care of yourself and be a happy child every day.
It was a simple letter, but Li Tian read it for a long time and gently rubbed the thin piece of paper with his hand.
Under the letter there was a dried tear stain, and he knew it belonged to his grandfather.
It belonged to the old man who carried him through the streets when he was a child.
He raised his head and tried not to let his tears fall, grinning. He murmured to himself, "Grandpa, I will definitely live happily. You must do the same over there."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Take good care of yourself."
He worked very hard to control his emotions.
But in the end, the tears fell from my eyes and fell to the ground.
He finally couldn't help hiding his face and burst into tears. After all, he was still just a teenager. The grievances and loneliness he had felt over the years burst out, and he cried heartbreakingly. All that came to mind was that kind man.
The old man, the grandfather who grew up with him but is no longer here.
After crying for a long time, he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, his eyes were red and his body was sobbing slightly.
He calmed down, calmed down a little, carefully folded the letter according to its original traces, and put it into the envelope.
Then he took the compass on the table and held it in front of him.
The dark compass exudes layers of mystery and a strong atmosphere of time.
The ancestors of the biographer must have looked at it like this. This sense of mission suddenly burst out from his heart.
History seemed to be overlapping each other at this moment, and the illusory figures of the biographers appeared on him, gently touching the old friends in front of him, as if saying their final goodbyes.
It not only witnesses history, but also witnesses the blood and sweat of generations of biographers.
Following the instructions in the letter, he placed his hand on the compass, closed his eyes, and paid full attention.
After a while, there was still no response.
Li Tian's face was full of questions, "Holy shit, what's going on? Is it because I opened it the wrong way?"
Li Tian stood up, stepped on the stool with one foot, and raised the compass above his head with the other hand, "As you wish, follow my will, and the spirit will appear quickly..."
The whole world is quiet....
Li Tian put down his hand, put the compass on the table, sat back on the chair, and thought about it carefully.
He closed his eyes again and imagined himself melting into the compass.
This time, the compass responded. The white words on the surface of the compass flashed, and a stream of clear water poured into the mind to form words.
"Compass...use...instructions?" These six characters appeared in his mind.
He continued to read the memories in his mind, "The World Jump Compass was born from the same source as the Cangyu Realm. It contains the universe and is not restricted by the rules of the Cangyu Realm. It can jump into the void at will. Three circles to the left and three circles to the right can open the compass.
Storage space, three circles on the right and three circles on the left, you can control the size of the compass and jump in space with your thoughts."
"Fuck, that's awesome." Li Tian rubbed his hands excitedly and let out a jeering laugh.
He held the compass in both hands and said, "Let's do three circles to the left and three to the right."
The compass has three layers: outer, middle and inner. The white characters on the outermost layer are larger, the white characters on the middle layer are smaller, and the innermost ones are the pointers.
He pressed the index finger of his right hand on the middle layer of the compass and began to exert force to the left. Unexpectedly, looking at the integrated structure, it turned without any effort at all. Every time he turned a word, there was a slight beating sound of the pointer. It was crisp and agile.
After the compass was rotated, he took his hands away and watched the movement of the compass. For about three seconds, the compass started to rotate on its own and the pointer also began to rotate.
"Didi didi..." It stopped after a while.
A semi-shadowed inverted triangular cubic projection appears above the compass.
The projection is only the size of an adult's head. If you take a closer look, you will see a black book floating in the projection.
Li Tian locked his eyes on the dark, simple and slowly rotating book in the projection.
