Chapter 84 The Secret of Longevity Lock
When White Ape was gone and completely out of sight, Long Xi was relieved.
The crisis was over!
Long Xi applied the Quick Healing Ointment to Mo Kun’s face. The wound soon healed, and the skin was still intact without a scar.
Xiaolu who saw the magical effect of this ointment was really shocked!
He said with a smile, “If this special medicine is not sold as a hot article, it’s against nature!”
Mo Kun was not modest and said with a smile, “Now my biggest concern is that there is not much stock. I’m afraid that it will be out of stock!”
Long Xi smiled and rebuked him, “Cocky!”
Xiaolu friendly posited his hand on Lord Mo Kun’s shoulder. He sincerely asked, “Big Brother Kun, can I take some pictures before and after the injury for free to advertise your medicine?”
Mo Kun said with a smile, “Well! After you participate in the reality show, you will definitely be more popular. Then I’ll save the advertising fee!”
Long Xi looked at them as good brothers and did not perceive that they were rivals. She said with a smile, “Brother Lu, maybe you’re the next king of the idol!”
Xiaolu smiled and said, “Maybe after you participate in the reality show, you can create your own clothing brand and become the next fashion design queen!”
Mo Kun said with a smile, “Let’s all work together to achieve our dreams!”
Long Xi raised her hand and cheered, “Stay young forever!”
An hour later, they finally walked out of the edge of the forest and went downhill along the winding path. Only about twenty steps had been taken, they suddenly heard “Don’t bother to go any further.”
Long Xi was sensitive to sound, and immediately recognized that this was Niu Xi’s sound. He should be in the distance. The sound was sonorous.
Long Xi joked, “Is this the long-lost lion’s roar in martial arts circles?”
Mo Kun smiled and held a trumpet with his hand, shouting, “Are you calling us?”
His voice was not weaker than the roar.
Xiaolu also said jokingly, “This is definitely a long-lost unique skill of the Nine-grid Pattern Hot-pot Sect: Sonorous.”
During the talk, the “Princess of the Ming Dynasty” had already run with Dong’er behind her back. She was slightly fat, but she ran so fast.
She put down Dong’er who was playing Doudou and looked at Long Xi, asking, “Excuse me, little sister, are you surnamed Long?”
Being surprised, Long Xi wondered how this “princess” knew her surname.
Niu Xi followed the “princess” and carried a medium-sized old man with sunglasses. He arrived with vigorous strides, neither blushing nor panting.
“Princess” helped him to lay down the old man, and held the old man’s arm with her hands, asking the old man, “Grandpa Shu, is she?”
Grandpa Shu glowed with health.
He threw the two small tortoiseshells in his palm. He then touched the turtle shells and smiled.
He said with certainty, “This is a line-record, meaning that I’m bound to be successful. The image of the trigram showed that it’s wonderful to have friends visiting from far. The friend is very young, female, less than 18 years old, with a surname Long! She has a deep relationship with us. Her arrival will make us turn ill luck into good!”
Long Xi said curiously, “My last name is Long, but I don’t understand what you are talking about. What do you mean by saying that I have a deep relationship with you?”
Grandpa Shu nodded and said, “Right! Do you have an ancestor called Long Futian?”
“Princess” said to Long Xi: “Grandpa Shu’s divination has never missed, so we all call him ‘Eyeless Fortune-teller’!”
Grandpa Shu laughed very joyfully and said humorously, ” ‘Eyeless Fortune-teller’? Just call me a blind fortune teller.”
Niu Xi was anxious and asked Long Xi, “Little girl, is your ancestor Long Futian? You can rest assured that we are not bad people, and we are not malicious to you.”
Long Xi said, “I have seen the genealogy of my grandfather. It seems that there is Long Futian. I heard from my grandmother that he was an official in the Han Dynasty.”
“Princess” continued to ask, “Your grandfather? So you’re named after your mother rather than your father?”
Long Xi said, “Yes.” My grandmother said that when my father proposed to my mother, my grandfather said that their first child must be named after Long, regardless of the gender. My father agreed because he loved my mother very much. My parents only have one child. ”
“Princess” asked, “Haven’t your grandparents told you about the treasures of the Ancient Kingdom Dian?”
They were strangers on earth, so she didn’t want to tell them too much about her own life. Long Xi said politely, “Pardon, I’ve never met you before, so can we stop talking about my life experience?”
“Princess” was a little unpleasant.
Grandpa Shu smiled and said, “Ho-ho, it’s a clever girl! It seems that we have to put forward some conclusive evidence. Otherwise, how can she believe it? After all, this story is too bizarre.”
“Princess” asked, “Grandpa Shu, what do you mean?”
Grandpa Shu smiled and said: “Call Little Hao over. Does he have a longevity lock?”
“Princess” smiled and nodded, saying to Niu Xi, “My love, can you call the wild phoenix over? He must hang around now.”
Niu Xi said with a smile, “He grew up in the forest from an early age, so he can’t stand restraint!”
He once again motivated Qi into his belly and shouted loudly, “Feng Zihao, come over. We need to talk to you about an important thing!”
The loud sound spread through the wilderness.
A few minutes later, Feng Zihao glided from the woods and fell gently on the ground, as light as a feather.
He still wore a crested mask, only revealing his eyes and nostrils. Even his mouth and chin were covered. His collar was relatively low, so a protruding throat could be seen. His neck was relatively white.
At this time, Long Xi saw that his eyes were different colors. One was amber and the other was black. His eyes were not very big, but they were very brimming with radiating vigor.
He glanced at Long Xi and others with indifference, turned aside and asked Niu Xi, “What’s the matter?”
Grandpa Shu said lovingly, “Little Hao, show your longevity lock to this little girl.”
Feng Zihao said coldly, “This is a relic left to me by my parents. I don’t want to show it to others.”
Listening to his words, Long Xi involuntarily reached out to touch the longevity lock around his neck.
Her Grandma once said that it was the relic of her mother. Before her Grandpa died, he personally wore the lock for her only daughter who was just one-month-old. He also repeatedly warned her grandmother that this longevity lock should be passed down from generation to generation.
Seriously speaking, this longevity lock was also a relic left by her parents! Because of Feng Zihao’s words, she could not help but feel pity for Feng Zihao.
Grandpa Shu said, “The little girl has a similar one, but her lock is engraved with a dragon, and your lock is engraved with a phoenix.”
Long Xi was also surprised. “How could this old man, who I have never met before, know that my longevity lock is engraved with a dragon?”
Feng Zihao untied his longevity lock from his neck, and threw it to Long Xi angrily. Long Xi reached out to catch it.
This silver longevity lock turned out to be almost exactly the same as hers.
The front face was engraved with several words in running script, meaning “Dragon and Phoenix bringing prosperity; living to a ripe old age.” The fonts were exactly the same. Only the words of one lock were intertwined by the pattern of flying dragon and auspicious clouds, while the words of the other lock were intertwined with the pattern of flying phoenix and auspicious clouds.
The opposite side of the two locks were words in the same font, indicating “Abundant wealth in the family”.
The most special character was “jade”. The three horizontals were curved like a stream, while the vertical was like connecting three rivers. The point of the character “jade” was also curved, which was like a mountain road with eight bends.
When she was young, Long Xi often guessed whether the character “Jade” had any special meaning. However, he did not think about it and then gave up.
Now she saw such a special character “Jade” actually had a “twin brother”, she could not help but believe a few words on the words of the grandfather.
She threw the longevity lock back to Feng Zihao’s hand and asked with a smile, “Can you explain that for me?”
“Princess” smiled and said, “It’s inconvenient here. Let’s go to a hidden place to talk about it.”
Long Xi said, “They’re both my comrades-in-arms. We’ll advance and retreat together. We must go or stay together!”
“Princess” smiled and said, “Neither of them will forget friendship for profit. Moreover, they just have defeated the mercenaries. To some extent, they help us solve the urgent need. Then please come together and witness for us.”
“Witness? What witness?” asked Mo Kun.
“Princess” withdrew her smile and said seriously, “In fact, our twelve families only follow the ancestral teachings to guard the legacy of the ancient King of Dian. For thousands of years, many people have searched for our whereabouts for this treasure. We were unbearable, so we were forced to live in deep mountains and forests. Unexpectedly, someone leaked the secrets and drew the attention of the American treasure hunt company. Thus, it sent mercenaries to capture us. We had to live in this sparsely populated place. We didn’t expect…”
Seeing his wife give an irrelevant answer, Niu Xi was worried and quickly cut in. “Actually, we have all decided to hand over the treasure clues to the country unconditionally and unreservedly! Come and witness for us!”
Mo Kun did not believe it, “Is it true?”
Niu Xi said sincerely, “It’s more real than pearls. To be honest, we’re not so great to donate them to the country for free! We couldn’t show any interest in the huge treasure. But for so many years, we’re fed up with the days in fear! Do you know? I don’t even dare to have a child with the princess! We’re afraid that our children will repeat our life!”
The more he said, the more excited he was. He looked helpless, wronged, and indignant.
Xiaolu said, “I think what you said is true!”
Long Xi said, “Xiaolu’s intuition never failed! I also believe in you. Let’s go.”
“Princess” said, “Let’s go.”
Niu Xi shouldered Grandpa Shu, leading the way with vigorous strides. “Princess” took Dong’er, and went with Long Xi and others.
Long Xi asked, “What have you done with Tangze Shoutai?”
“Princess” said, “We locked him in the cellar of the wooden house. There are water and food, so he won’t starve to death. He is cuffed and shackled, so he can’t run away. Let’s give him a lesson!”
Long Xi saw that Dong’er was not against “Princess”, indicating that “Princess” was not a stranger for her.
She asked “Princess”, “Sister, have you seen Dong’er before? She never let a stranger touch her.”
“Princess” said, “Ma Ming took Dong’er to our house before. I thought she was pitiful, so every time she came, I would cook delicious food for her. Later, she let me touch her.”
Feng Zihao fluttered the “Phoenix Wings” and flew up, but he did not fly high but flew over Long Xi and others.
Long Xi looked up and saw that his “Phoenix Wings” were actually the automatic wood wings. The structure was very complicated. The surface of the wood was covered with beautiful feathers. With a layer upon a layer, they looked like real wings.
She couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Princess” saw her expression and said with a grin, “Little Xiao’s mother’s ancestor is Hou Yuzhang, the descendant of Lu Ban’s disciple’s disciple. Little Hao has a very precious Lu Ban’s Book, which includes the manufacturing method of automatic wings. Little Hao’s very talented. He improved the practice and actually made it! It really can fly!”
Long Xi said with envy, “I still want to try it! It’s a bit like a gliding plane.”
“Ok…” “Princess” hadn’t finished yet. In the distance, Feng Zihao said “No” in midair.
After seeing Long Xi’s disappointment, Mo Kun comforted her and said, “It’s a piece of cake. When we reach X City, I’ll take you to fly! You don’t need to care about other people’s look!”
He did not bring the Mech MK7 but let MK7 continue to guard his spaceship. Although he had found a piece of Black Magic Stone, he still failed to repair the spaceship.
Black Magic Stone was actually divided into male and female. He got the male Black Magic Stone from Shanben Shang. He had to find another piece of female Black Magic Stone. When they were united, it could be the kind of parts that his spaceship needed.
Long Xi spits out his tongue and said with a smile, “I am just kidding. It’s no big deal.”
Xiaolu also came over and said, “I have a private helicopter at home. I can drive, but I’m not old enough to get a flight license. When I get it, you can come to my home, and I can take you to fly.”
Mo Kun disdained him, said with a forced smile, “You fight with me again!”
Xiaolu showed a symbolic smile and said, “Didn’t we make a deal to have an equal competition?”
“Princess” saw that Mo Kun and Xiaolu were very fond of Long Xi and changed her look slightly. She wished to speak but stopped on second thought. Alas, it was a little inconvenient to say some words now! A long time ago, the ancestors of the Dragon Family and Phoenix Family made an engagement. The longevity lock was a token… Forget it, let Grandpa Shu say it!
Long Xi looked at Dong’er and said: “Dong’er is a child of the stars, but she knows who is nice to her.”
“Princess” said, “Actually, I think that Dong’er just likes to be alone. She does not like to communicate with others, but she is not stupid. Her father said that she would actually play chess with him, and she was good at it. She seems to have remembered all the solutions to chess endgames. Like Purple Swallow, Spring Thunder, she can see through it at a glance!”
