Chapter 1673 ancient characters of sound and shape
"At that time, our three ancestors entered your Zhou family and robbed many precious things. Now the only thing left is this black box." Xiao Hui looked at the box and said, "It is because it is magical. The ancestors of the three generations have thought of many ways but cannot open this black box."
"I also tried to open this box, but it failed. What does the changing patterns on the box represent? We don't understand. Maybe you, the remnant of the Zhou family, know?"
Zhou Fan did not respond. He frowned and looked at the black box. He did not expect that he would have something to do with the Zhou family.
When Xiao Hui saw Zhou Fan, he did not respond. He continued: "We have even used violence to try to destroy the box, but no matter what force we use, the box is not damaged at all. Its material is very special. We have never seen such a special material."
"It is also because it is so special that the three of us guessed that there are very precious things hidden inside it, so we have always regarded them as treasures, passed down from generation to generation, hoping that the younger generation can find ways to open this box."
Zhou Fan asked some questions about the box, but the Xiao Ye and Wang family obviously didn't know more about this black box.
Zhou Fan did not waste time here anymore, but left Yiluansi General Mansion. After returning to the academy, he took out the box again.
The box felt a sense of coldness, and it seemed to be holding a piece of pig iron. When it started to shake, there was no sound inside.
He activates his true energy and points his fingers on the box. With a sneer, the box really leaves no traces. He tries to slash with the Star Frost Knife, but it is still the case.
He fell into thinking.
At night, he and Xiaobai appeared on the boat with the three brothers.
"Dad." The three little white brothers shouted in unison.
The three of them were left by Zhou Fan in the main mansion of Hanbei Province, but they could see Zhou Fan every night.
Zhou Fan said a few words to them, and the three Xiaobai brothers went aside to practice seriously. After that, Zhou Fan chatted with Eifu and Mo Mo for a few hurriedly before he looked at the Emperor of All Kingdoms on the throne.
The little boy sat upright on the throne and closed his eyes. He noticed it and opened his eyes, "Is there anything wrong?"
"I got something from the outside world for the great heaven and earth, and it was engraved with ancient words. I hope you can identify it for me." Zhou Fan said.
"Things engraved with ancient characters?" the little boy was slightly moved, "How can you recognize ancient characters at this level?"
"I have been exposed to some ancient characters before," Zhou Fan said: "But I'm not sure the thing has ancient characters on it, it's just suspected."
"Yes." The little boy agreed, "You ask the boat to send it in for you, I'll take a look for you."
Seeing the little boy agreeing, Zhou Fan quickly stared at the deck and raised his request.
If the ship does not agree, his things outside will not be able to enter here.
The ship agreed, and a wisp of mist quickly turned into a square box as dark as ink, falling into Zhou Fan's hands.
Zhou Fan glanced at the familiar box, he let go of his hand, the box floated up, and soon floated to the little boy.
The little boy looked at the floating box and looked at the changing patterns on the box surface. His expression became solemn, "This is indeed an ancient text. Tell me about its origin."
"I only heard that it is a relic of my Zhou family's ancestor." Zhou Fan said: "I don't know if it's too specific. What does this word mean?"
He had known for a long time that although it was just an ancient character, an ancient character can often extend many meanings.
"This should not be something refined by your Zhou family. It can be engraved with ancient characters. It is an item from the ancient Chaos Period." The little boy said: "It may have been obtained by one of your Zhou family ancestors from somewhere."
"As for the ancient characters above, it has no meaning, it is an ancient character with a sound and shape."
"What are ancient characters for sound and shape?" Zhou Fan said in a daze.
"This kind of ancient characters has existed since ancient times, but after many monks' research, they have no meaning, or the meaning has been lost, but the pronunciation can be known through the form of ancient characters." The little boy said: "But not everyone can see its pronunciation. It requires in-depth research on the ancient characters in the form of the pronunciation and shape to achieve it."
"I have studied ancient characters for sound and shape. As far as I guess, reading the ancient characters for sound and shape on the box should be able to open the box. Do you need me to open it for you?"
Zhou Fan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
This box belongs to him. As long as he does not promise to give the box to the Emperor of All Nations, the Emperor of All Nations will not take away the things in the box. Now the Emperor of All Nations is willing to open it for him for free, so of course he cannot ask for it.
The little boy looked at the ancient words on the box, and he opened his mouth and spit out obscure and mysterious syllables.
From Zhou Fan's opinion, it sounds like the pronunciation of Dragon God, but it is not exactly similar.
After reading about ten syllables, the box made a click, and a dark green light emerged from the gap in the box, like a basin of water pouring on the little boy.
Bang!
The little boy's upper body exploded and blood splattered on the throne.
Zhou Fan was stunned. He shuddered. The box was still filled with a trap.
A cold snorted, the little boy's upper body was growing rapidly, and the blood on the throne was also disappearing.
The little boy looked at the floating box indifferently, and he looked surprised: "I guessed that it might have hidden a trap. I thought that under the control of the ship, this trap could not occur even if it was a law trap. I didn't expect it to attack people, and it is worthy of being an ancient thing."
"If the box opener is killed, it won't take long to close the box again."
The floating black box floated towards Zhou Fan.
"The trap is a one-time thing, you can see what's inside." The little boy was curious, but this was Zhou Fan's thing after all. As the Emperor of All Nations, he certainly would not peek at anything from anyone.
Zhou Fan caught the box, but he was not worried about opening it. After all, even if there was a trap, he was killed on the boat, but it was not really dead.
The box was opened with two envelopes inside.
Zhou Fan picked up two letters, and he looked surprised. Was it just two letters?
What letters need to be kept in such a box?
If you really want to record things, wouldn’t it be better to put jade slips?
Zhou Fan felt very puzzled, and the little boy also had a strange look.
He looked at the two letters carefully and found that the envelope was engraved with runes, which could prevent the envelope from turning into ashes after a long period of time.
Anyway, it is already a masterless thing, and Zhou Fan has no idea that others can’t read the idea of respecting privacy. He has worked so hard that he always has to see what is written on the letter.
