Pan Yuyue couldn't hide her excitement and asked hurriedly.
"Haha, I said this thing is very simple, but it is not fully opened now because there is a hidden lock on it, which requires a key to open..."
Qin Fen chuckled and showed off to Pan Yuyue.
"Huh, what a small trick!"
"Okay, you can think whatever you want, but if you want to learn, I can tell you the secret to unlocking the Jiugongge!"
"I'm not going to learn. You'd better open this box completely quickly!" Pan Yuyue rolled her eyes at Qin Fen again, but she was very happy in her heart.
At this time, Qin Fen had a look of embarrassment on his face. He picked up the red sandalwood box and looked at it carefully. He saw a very small keyhole on it.
"I can't do anything without the key. I can't just smash it, right?!" Qin Fen said with a hint of helplessness.
"key?!"
Pan Yuyue also frowned and fell into deep thought.
Just when Qin Fen secretly sighed at the pity, Pan Yuyue's eyes lit up and she said excitedly to Qin Fen: "I have the key!"
"Do you have the key?!" Qin Fen asked with a shocked look on his face.
Pan Yuyue ignored Qin Fen, but took off a crystal necklace from her neck and took off the pendant directly.
Qin Fen's eyes fell on Pan Yuyue's pendant, which was a heart-shaped ruby inlaid with gold and gold-inlaid rubies.
"The key is right here, open it and take a look!"
Pan Yuyue hesitated for a moment, then handed the gold-encrusted ruby to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admired: "The best ruby, and the two halves are buckled together to form a whole, especially the gold inlay on it is very fine."
"nice one!"
Qin Fen couldn't help but say.
"Of course, my brother asked a master from abroad to customize this for me. There is a key in it. My father asked me to put it in. I didn't know what it meant at first, but now I understand, this key should be related to this
I got the box together, but my father couldn't open the nine-square grid, so he hid the key in my pendant." Pan Yuyue said with pride.
"Haha, it should look like this, but if you want to open it, even if the gem is not destroyed, the gold inlay will be destroyed. Have you thought about it?!" Qin Fen asked Pan Yuyue.
Pan Yuyue was instantly caught in a dilemma. This was what her brother had left for her. If it was destroyed, she might not even have a second thought.
However, she had to do this if she wanted to discover the secret in the box. After struggling in her heart for a while, she said to Qin Fen: "Open it!"
After hearing this, Qin Fen glanced at Pan Yuyue again, and found that there was a hint of pain on the other person's face. Then he lowered his head to study the pendant, and finally found that there was a very subtle difference in the gold inlay of the pendant.
The small golden round hole is slightly dented, which is generally difficult to see with the naked eye. It looks like a mechanism.
Qin Fen hesitated for a moment and said to Pan Yuyue: "Is there anything like a needle at home?!"
"have!"
Pan Yuyue knew what Qin Fen had discovered, and hurriedly got up and went to the bedroom to find needle and thread.
"If my guess is correct, your pendant will not be damaged."
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he picked up the needle and pierced the small round hole directly. Qin Fen exerted a slight force and heard a slight sound, and a crack appeared in the middle of the pendant.
Seeing such a change, both of them had a look of surprise on their faces. Qin Fen even lamented that the craftsmanship in making this pendant was so ingenious that it actually used a spring mechanism.
Qin Fen didn't dare to think too much. After putting down the needle, he pressed his index fingers and thumbs at the same time. The pendant was finally opened, and there was a bronze key less than two centimeters lying inside. It seemed that the key was old.
, there is a layer of light green rust hanging on it.
Qin Fen carefully took out the key and looked at it carefully. Combining the keyhole on the box, Qin Fen suddenly showed a smile on his lips and said to Pan Yuyue: "This should be the key, open it now?!"
"open!"
Pan Yuyue said without thinking.
Qin Fen nodded, then inserted the key into the keyhole and twisted it gently...
"Click..."
After a slight sound, the lid of the box popped up. The two of them looked into the box at the same time, and saw a sheepskin scroll lying inside.
Qin Fen glanced at Pan Yuyue, and then carefully took out the scroll.
Pan Yuyue's face was full of surprise at this moment. She stared closely at the scroll in front of her. Qin Fen took a breath and carefully unfolded the scroll, "This is... a map!"
"It looks similar. Look, the waves painted on it should represent water, and the bulge in the middle looks like an island!" Pan Yuyue nodded and said.
"Yes, it is surrounded by water on three sides, and then there is this unexpected island. This should refer to a geographical location." Qin Fen nodded, then continued to unfold the scroll, and only a few lines of words appeared in front of the two of them.
However, when he saw these words, Qin Fen was speechless for a while, because what was written on them was actually the bird language of the island country, and he didn't recognize it at all!
"Uh...it seems we need to find a translator." Qin Fen said helplessly towards Pan Yuyue.
Pan Yuyue ignored the other party and continued to read the words above. After a moment, she opened her red lips and said: "In 1784 AD, I accidentally found a gold seal and handed it over to Kuroda Pan. After several times, I found that there were occasional golden lights on the island.
, no abnormality was found after several searches, but if the gold seal is found, there must be something strange. I hope that future generations can discover it!"
"Do you know the island language?!" Qin Fen looked at Pan Yuyue in shock.
"I not only know this language, but also the languages of other countries, what?! Isn't it surprising?!" Pan Yuyue saw the exaggerated expression on Qin Fen's face and immediately found the confidence that could suppress him.
"Well, it's terrible to be uneducated. I can't even speak my mother tongue!" Qin Fen said helplessly.
This time, Qin Fen was completely defeated.
"I have translated it for you, do you know what it said?!" Pan Yuyue calmed down for a moment, frowned, and asked Qin Fen.
Originally being suppressed by Pan Yuyue, Qin Fen felt a little unhappy, but after hearing what the other party said, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face and said: "It seems that you are only interested in learning foreign languages and cultures.
Have you forgotten the things belonging to our ancestors?!"
"Qin Fen, don't go too far. If you don't tell me, I can find out myself!"
He had just found his place, but now he was looked down upon by Qin Fen, and he said angrily.
"Haha, okay, let me tell you. If I guess correctly, this should be a story about the island country. The specific authenticity has yet to be verified, but this golden seal is a real piece of history.
!”
Qin Fen chuckled lightly, and saw a trace of seriousness on Pan Yuyue's face. He couldn't stop joking, cleared his throat, and continued: "According to legend, in 1784, two villagers from the island country farmed on Shiga Island.
At that time, a gold seal was dug out. There were five characters on it, and it was engraved with 'King of the Han Dynasty slaves'!"
"What's the meaning?!"
"It means that Emperor Guangwu gave a golden seal to the island country. Later, these two people transferred the thing to Kuroda Pan, who was the Kuroda family at that time. According to what was said above, these two people returned to the island and found that the island
Occasionally, there was a golden light shining on it, but after several searches, no one could find it. Later, the Kuroda family found out about it, and Kuroda sent people to search for it several times without success, and no one knows about it until today!"
"I understand, then the map on this sheepskin scroll should be the island country's Shiga Island." Pan Yuyue said hurriedly towards Qin Fen.
"That should be right. Do you have a map of the island country at home?! Can't you tell by comparing it?!"
"have!"
Pan Yuyue hurriedly got up and found a map from the study. The two compared it and found that the picture on the parchment scroll was very similar to the appearance of Shiga Island!
"It seems that there should be something else besides the golden seal on Shiga Island!" After a moment, Pan Yuyue said seriously to Qin Fen.
"If I go by your guess, the ninja who appeared at your house should be looking for this thing!" Qin Fen thought briefly and finally got some clues about the matter.
"Then what should we do now?! If this is really the case, then people from the island country will definitely come looking for me!" Pan Yuyue said worriedly.
"Don't worry, put the things back first. They certainly don't dare to act rashly recently, and I suspect that this island countryman should have some contact with Hongsheng. As long as we follow the clues, we will definitely find clues!"
Qin Fen thought about it and said directly to Pan Yuyue.
"Okay, then I'll put it back now!" At this time, Pan Yuyue believed in Qin Fen unconditionally.
After Pan Yuyue went upstairs, Qin Fen's brows suddenly knitted tightly together. I'm afraid this map was really guiding something. He knew very well about what happened to Emperor Guangwu back then. After all, he was in the antique business, so he had to understand the history first.
, Only in this way can we know the characteristics of the cultural relics of the current dynasty.
At the moment, Qin Fen is thinking about what the golden light on Shiga Island is?! In the end, Qin Fen decided that he must take time to visit the island country to solve this mystery.
"Can you help me take care of my brother's funeral?!"
After a moment, Pan Yuyue was seen coming down from upstairs, looking at Qin Fen expectantly.
"Don't worry, I'll handle this matter. You go change clothes first!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he took out his phone and dialed, "Qiusheng, you go find a funeral service now, and then rush to Pan's house as soon as possible. Pan Yuyang's matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Brother, I know, I'm going to find it now!" Li Qiusheng just got up from the bed, and after hearing Qin Fen's words, he hurriedly started to prepare.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. You call Shuan Zhu and ask him to bring someone over. The Pan family is not at peace now. Please take charge of safety issues!"
