"What do you mean by 'destined person'? Can I do something for a few old seniors?" Zhong Lin finally couldn't help asking.

The old lady nodded. She was now more and more admiring the young man in front of her! The old lady turned to look at Old Zhang and said, "Old Zhang, take the jade tag over."

"No need to pick it up, I've brought it here..." As Mr. Zhang said that, he took out a wooden brocade box from the wide robe he was wearing.

"Lao Zhang, you..."

Several old men looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent. It seemed that everyone had misunderstood Mr. Zhang just now.

In fact, Mr. Zhang can be said to have 100% trust in the old lady, but he only thought about more things, but Mr. Zhang had already brought what he wanted to bring with him when he went out.

Old Zhang carefully placed the brocade box on the round table, and Zhong Lin's eyes were already on the brocade box at this moment. He saw a gossip pattern in the middle of the brocade box, and birds and beasts were painted around him, which looked very exquisite.

Mr. Zhang's index finger and thumb pressed his left hand on the "Jin" position and "Li" position in the Bagua diagram respectively. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand were respectively on the "Kun" position, the "Gen" position, and the "Kan" position. I saw a few of his fingers gently pressing down...

"Click, click, click, click, click"

Five sounds were heard, and the mechanism was touched. Then Mr. Zhang carefully opened the lid of the brocade box.

Zhong Lin couldn't help but admire the clever design of the Jinbo. Even if everyone present had seen the position where Mr. Zhang's fingers were placed, if he did not know the order of the fingers pressed in advance, the mechanism would definitely not be triggered correctly. If an outsider got the Jinbo, he would definitely have no idea where to start. First, the number of hexagram positions to be pressed, then which hexagram position to choose, and finally the order of the selected hexagram positions. There are many changes in this. As long as one of the hexagram positions is pressed, even if the order is wrong, the mechanism cannot be opened.

The inside of the brocade box was covered with a piece of apricot yellow satin. Old Zhang gently uncovered the satin and could see that there was a groove under the satin. A white jade bi was lying in the groove. The four corners of the jade bi were fixed with red ribbons, and a few lines of small characters were carved in seal script on the jade bi.

Old Zhang looked at Zhong Lin with a smile and said, "Zhong Lin, come, come and see what is written on it?"

"Old Zhang, do you still have to take the Zhong Lin exam? Haha..." Although Mr. Zhao said this this time, he did not look angry this time. Mr. Chen and the old lady, including Zhao Jianyi, were also smiling. At this time, no one thought that Mr. Zhang was "making things difficult for Zhong Lin."

Everyone seems to have formed a tacit understanding now, and they are all curious about the young man in their early 20s. They all want to see how many skills Zhong Lin has...

Zhong Lin looked around and smiled and said, "Old Zhang, old lady, old lady, old Zhao, old Chen, uncle Zhao, then I'm more respectful than obedience."

Zhong Lin was also full of doubts now. Several old men went through many hardships to reach a "unified opinion", and then took out a brocade box with such a clever mechanism. If it was just a piece of jade, it would not be necessary to work so hard. What was written on it? It didn't matter to him? Why did he say he was a destined person? These questions lingered in Zhong Lin's mind, constantly arousing his curiosity and desire for knowledge.

Zhong Lin looked carefully at the seal script on the jade bi, first identified it for two or three minutes, and then read it directly:

"Xu Gongjun's house, he followed the emperor's order and led three thousand children to cross the coast to the east, searching for the immortals, and heading to Yingzhou, and returning home after obtaining treasures.

However, the way of heaven was impermanent, and the treasure was not yet offered, and the First Emperor collapsed, and Mr. Xu was affected, so he hid and died in depression.

Our clan members inherit their will and keep the treasures to wait for future generations to be destined to be followed by secret techniques to benefit the people..."

Everyone present looked at me, looked at you, and smiled at each other. Obviously, they were not that strange about Zhong Lin being able to read the words above. After all, the ability shown by Zhong Lin before was enough to make them believe that Zhong Lin was already a godlike figure, and there was nothing he could not do. Of course, Zhao Jianyi tended to think that Zhong Lin came from the future world, that is, he came through time, so he thought that he must have a good chat with Zhong Lin in the future.

"Zhong Lin, as you can see, this jade bi records information about the treasure we guard. Of course, I and Lao Zhao and Lao Chen are all the descendants of the tribe mentioned above in the jade bi, which is the descendant of the tribe established by Xu Fu in Yingzhou. For more than two thousand years, our ancestors have been guarding the treasure left by Xu Gong for generations, but we don't know what this treasure is. Later, when the War of Liberation, I don't know why the little Japanese actually knew our secret. In order to get the treasure, they killed many of our tribe members, and later only a few dozen of us were left.

The child who was a few years old fled to Hongzhou. At that time, it was not as good as the Southeast City. It was just a small fishing village, and Hongzhou was just a wasteland. Later, Japan announced its surrender, and we all thought we could escape the disaster. But we didn't expect a Japanese special operations team not only did not surrender but also found our place to live! When we all thought we were going to die here, the old sister arrived in time with the Red Army. After a bloody battle, it wiped out more than 50 Japanese teams. The whole Red Army brought by the old sister, who was intensified battalion, was left with only 86 people... "

As he said that, Mr. Zhang's voice choked up.

The corners of the old lady's eyes began to moisten. She sorted out her emotions and then said, "At that time, we received instructions from our superiors that a small group of enemies did not gather at the designated surrender location, but instead took them to Hongzhou. Moreover, the scouts found that they were not ordinary Japanese soldiers, but were most likely Japanese special forces who had been specially trained, which seemed to be carrying out a secret mission. At that time, I was still the battalion commander, so I took my troops to encircle and suppress the enemy. Alas, the battle was so tragic that I would never forget for my life..."

The old lady closed her eyes, took a deep breath before continuing: "The enemy resisted desperately like crazy. My comrades fell one after another. Finally, when we wiped out the enemy, we sacrificed 405 soldiers. Fortunately, we wiped out the enemy and rescued Lao Zhang, Lao Chen, Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhang's senior brother, four of them..."

The old lady's hand trembled, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and continued, "Later, Lao Zhang and the others took the initiative to find me, told me their secrets, and asked me to protect the "Treasure" with them. At the same time, I was moved by their sincerity, and for the sacrificed 405 comrades, I promised them. Later, we built a monument on Hongzhou and sealed the things we guarded next to the monument. Since then, we have made a convention a rule that everyone who comes to Hongzhou will worship in front of the monument. This not only expresses our admiration for the revolutionary martyrs, but also looking for the "destined person" mentioned on the jade bi. In addition, through investigation, we found that an organization has been secretly investigating news about the Xu Gong tribe. We think it may be for this treasure..."

At this time, Mr. Zhang continued: "It was the idea that the old sister came up with. Seal the treasure next to the monument. Every person who went to the island would go to the monument to worship. In this way, even if the people in that organization knew that we were on Hongzhou, they would never think that the treasure would be placed in the place where everyone could go on the surface. Later, when the old lady told us a few of us that you might be the 'destined person', we were all very happy! The guardians of our ancestors for more than two thousand years, finally found the 'master' for the treasure in our lifetime. Even if we died, we would be in peace. But I did not forget the instructions of my senior brother before his death. I was both happy and afraid that the mechanism would hurt you. I was thinking that we would tell you this secret first today, and then learn more about the formation and breaking the formation. After a year and a half, you have learned almost everything. Let's invite the treasure. What do you think?"

At this moment, the old lady also said, "Yes, Zhong Lin, it was me before..."

"No, old lady!"

The old lady was interrupted by Zhong Lin just halfway through her words. He knew what the old lady was going to say, so he would not let her say it, so he continued, "I have decided, let's go now. After you said it, I myself think that I may really be the 'destined person' you are talking about. Since I am destined, I believe that no matter how difficult the formation is, I can break, and no matter how difficult the mechanism is, I can open..." As he said that, Zhong Lin smiled confidently.
Chapter completed!
