"What are you thinking about?" Feng Dingchu smiled slightly, with a hint of joking: "I just borrowed your Qiankun Chain to store it before I find a more suitable place to store it."
"Let me put it away?"
Chu Qianli took the imperial edict and murmured: "Aren't you afraid that I will secretly open it and read it?"
Anyway, it's just a glance, and it won't ruin the imperial edict or anything. How can she have such good concentration that she won't even look at the secrets?
"You're not that kind of person."
Feng Dingchu wore a tall hat that Chu Qianli couldn't take off.
Alas! You cannot read this imperial edict. If you read it, you will become "that kind of person".
While she put the imperial edict into the Qiankun Chain, she complained: "Uncle Jiu, you know this... is very torturous, you know?"
If you want to read it but can't, you can obviously open it and take a look, but because of your "noble character", you can't read it!
My heart is so tired!
The psychological torture is no better than the physical torture.
It is better to know nothing than to let curiosity lead your heart!
"Maybe...it may not have anything to do with you."
Feng Dingchu sighed lightly and looked up at the distant sky.
Chu Qianli saw in his eyes the feeling of helplessness, despair, and even hopelessness.
She quickly changed the subject: "Uncle Jiu, what is this?"
She picked up the only thing in the wooden box that seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.
A lock?
"It is said that it is the legendary lock of heaven and earth."
"Heaven and Earth Lock!" Chu Qianli was startled, and the lock almost flew from her hand!
Qiankun Chain, Heaven and Earth Lock!
That is a treasure of the same level as the Qiankun Chain. Why is it in Uncle Jiu’s hands?
Even if it was in Uncle Jiu's hands, why did it look so ordinary? Moreover, there was no trace of surprise in Uncle Jiu's eyes when he looked at it.
Is this the attitude we should have towards one of the most powerful treasures in the universe?
Is there a little bit of tension and respect?
Is that too much?
but……
"Is this thing really a lock between heaven and earth?" Chu Qianli looked left and right, but couldn't see anything different.
Isn't it just an ordinary lock?
"Senior brother gave it to me. He said it was. I think it should be." It is impossible for an expert like senior brother to lie to someone who entrusted him with it before his death.
"But I can't see any difference between it and an ordinary lock."
Looking horizontally and vertically, it's just a lock, a simple lock, with no mechanism or even a key socket.
To open it, you can only use brute force.
"Is there a treasure map hidden inside?"
"It's dead inside," Feng Dingchu said, "I've studied it many times."
Chu Qianli lowered her eyes and looked at the death lock.
Death means that it is solid inside.
What's more, it's just a lock, and it doesn't lock anything, so what can it hide?
A small lock, not much thicker than her fingers... Even Chu Qianli couldn't figure out the mystery.
"Could it be that your senior brother...is teasing you?"
"Impossible." Senior brother, he didn't have any fun.
Chu Qianli still couldn't see any difference, so in the end, she could only look at it.
"Put it away first." Feng Dingchu said.
Chu Qianli was a little stunned: "Give it to me too?"
"I have no place to hide." It's easy to throw it away if you carry it with you.
"What's more, you have the Qiankun Chain, so it's only natural that the Heaven and Earth Lock should be placed here with you."
Feng Dingchu waved his hand: "Get up. After settling down the villagers, it's time to return to the imperial city."
