Chapter 814 The Box of Eight Dragon Locks
Taking advantage of the cheap master's absence, Feng Qianwei checked the inside and outside of the house, especially the master's bedroom, but unfortunately nothing was found.
"Am I looking in the wrong direction? There's no secret here at all?"
She frowned, finding nothing this time.
"No, there must be something I didn't expect."
She carefully closed the door of the cheap master's residence, except for a picture scroll that he didn't know what was special, there were no other unusual objects.
Suddenly, she remembered that there was one place she had overlooked, and that was the room where she lived now. She hurriedly ran to her house, where there were not many places to hide things.
She searched for the bottom of the bed first, then the dresser and drawers. There was no hidden compartment in the room, so there was no wardrobe left.
Immediately after she opened the closet, she noticed that the placement of these clothes was a bit wrong, and there was probably something hidden under the quilts and clothes. She removed the quilt and found a rectangular wooden box inside.
While rummaging inside, footsteps were heard outside. She wanted to open the box to have a look, but found a lock on it. With a quick glance, she recognized that it was not an ordinary lock, but an ancient and rare eight-array dragon lock.
With the lock as the center, an invisible chain is extended, which protects the items in a protective array from all directions, and cannot be broken open by external force. If it is forcibly destroyed, the contents inside will be destroyed directly.
"What is it? It's so well protected?"
The footsteps were very close, and she hurriedly put everything back in place, then sat on the chair, pretending to be taking a nap.
She could hear the footsteps, her cheap master had returned.
"Girl, wake up, the master is back!"
The cheap master came outside the house and did not enter her boudoir. Seeing her in the house, he spoke to her through the window.
"Master, why did you come back so late today?"
Feng Qianwei asked.
"The village chief asked you to come over before, what's the matter?"
"Girl, come here, the master has something to tell you."
The cheap master waved his hand and asked Feng Qianwei to sit with him on the steps outside.
"Master, what do you want to tell me?"
Feng Qianwei raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes full of anticipation.
"The peach blossom ceremony in the village is about to begin. You have been selected as one of the candidates for the peach blossom spirit girl. Tonight, the old village chief will send someone to pick you up."
Master Cheap saw the look of doubt in her eyes, and her expression softened a bit.
"Master, what is a peach blossom girl? Is it fun?"
Feng Qianwei blinked her agile eyes, her pure and flawless eyes, like the creamy sky after the rain.
The cheap master sighed and shook his head, with sadness and helplessness in his eyes, and a wisp of determination that was indestructible.
"Girl, from now on, you have to remember the words of your teacher, and you must not take off the bracelet that the teacher gave you. There are two other people on the sedan chair that came to pick you up at night, and they will try their best to kill them before they reach their destination. you."
Master Cheap said solemnly that he had never allowed her to complete the coming-of-age ceremony, just to prevent this day from coming, but he didn't expect it to come after all.
"Master, why did those people kill me? Can we escape? Can we not be a spirit girl?"
Feng Qianwei asked in panic.
"Girl, if you can't escape, no one can leave this big tomb. Once you are branded by it, you will never be able to leave. This is life."
The cheap master patted her shoulder lightly, trying to comfort her.
"There is only one Peach Blossom Spirit Girl, this time there are three candidates, the other two must die, and you are one of the two who died!"
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to the little snowflakes! get together!
