Chapter 104

Although the long-lived lock he wore on his neck looked inconspicuous, it was actually passed down from generation to generation by the Fu family and only passed down to the eldest son. Because in Fu Tian's mother's generation, there were no males, it was just passed down to Fu Tian.

In the last life, Fu Tian wore this long-lived lock until his death. Later, he was reborn, but he never left his body.

Moreover, since he was reborn, he rarely suffered any injury. His original physique was very prone to damage and left injuries. However, except for the injury that had just returned from rebirth, his physical fitness gradually improved. However, he had fewer opportunities to get injured and it was not obvious, so he only noticed it now.

Speaking of which, this long-lived lock is most likely something passed down from ancestors.

Taking the long life lock down and put it in the palm of your hand, both of them carefully observed the silver jewelry. The new lock with a simple shape was held in their hands and some weight. In addition, the color of the belt has become brighter for many years, it looks a bit exquisite.

Fu Tian looked at it for a while, but didn't find any problem. He looked at Chu Xiangtian with inquisitive eyes.

Chu Xiangtian frowned little by little, picked up the small lock, staring at a small hole that was not easy to detect above the lock.

After estimating the size, Chu Xiangtian said, "Let me bring a needle."

Fu Tian opened the door and asked the maid to send the needle and thread bags, and a row of fine needles of different sizes were neatly inserted into the needle bags.

Chu Xiangtian took the thinnest one, pointed it at the small hole and gently inserted it in.

The needle didn't enter a small piece, and then it seemed as if it had encountered some obstacle. Chu Xiangtian frowned and pushed the needle left and right, moving the two in front and one behind. The Long Life Lock made a slight clicking sound, and the lock body, which was originally integrated, opened a small gap.

Chu Xiangtian used a needle to lift the long life lock open, and saw that there was an extremely small and exquisite key inside the small long life lock.

It is bronze, with patterns engraved on it, and there are three small bulges in the front of the key.

"Where is the key I gave you before?" Fu Tian poked Chu Xiangtian, "Take it out and take it."

"It's taken in the mansion." Chu Xiangtian put down the Longevity Lock, went to the palace next door to get the keys, and came back a while later, and compared the two keys, one big and one small, to compare. Except for the size, they were indeed exactly the same.

Fu Tian suddenly remembered the strange little hole he found on the wall when he went to the dark library. He had carefully compared it at that time, maybe it was a keyhole.

"It seems we have to go back to Sifang Town as soon as possible," Fu Tian said: "This is the key to the dark library."

Chu Xiangtian frowned and looked at the long life lock. The long life lock was made very exquisitely. The lid above was only a thin layer, and the lower one was sunken in a key shape arc, which was just enough to embed the bronze key, but...

Chu Xiangtian suddenly looked at him, and another small hole was found under the pattern of the lock on the open side.

He pinched the needle again, did the same thing, and opened the second layer of the Longevity Lock.

Unexpectedly, this small silver lock actually had a layer hidden. Fu Tian looked at Chu Xiangtian's movements in surprise.

Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes and slowly picked the other side away—

Before the longevity lock was fully opened, the two of them suddenly felt an extremely cool breath that was stimulated with the longevity lock as the center like a wave.

This feeling is wonderful, just like the air around you cooled down in an instant. If you have to describe it, it is like the air in the morning of winter, and the turbid air is emptied, as if you are in the deserted mountains. Every inhalation is filled with a sense of sobering tremor.

The lock surface was completely opened, revealing what was hidden inside - a dark green with a strange shape... Jade?

It might also be something else. Fu Tian reached out to take it out, but it was not as hard as jade, but soft. It felt a refreshing coolness when pinching it on the tip of his fingers. If you get closer, you can tell the faint fragrance.

Fu Tian put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, he clamped the corners of the thing in his heart and put it together. The green "nephrite" that was originally spread out was formed into a ball shape.

The two looked at each other, and Fu Tian hesitated and said, "Is this the fruit that Lao Yushu said?"

It’s just that the fruits that Lao Yushu said can give birth to children, but after the "nephrite" is only two fingers in size, I really can’t think of how it turned out to be a child.

The two of them were not sure whether this was the shell left by the fruit. They thought about it for a while and couldn't guess the origin for the time being, so they had to put the thing back as it was and still let Fu Tian wear it on her body.

The next day, Fu Tian began to prepare for a ship back to Qingyang.

After the canal was dug, the waterway was directly connected to Nanming County. Fu Tian bought a large ship and went back directly by waterway this time.

I also brought a lot of goods along the way, and I could transport them back to the south to sell them, offsetting the "car fee" back and forth.

On June 21st, Chu Xiangtian and Fu Tian returned to Sifang Town with Fu Tian.

In June, early rice has been harvested in the southern boundary and the seedlings for late rice begin to be cultivated. In July, it can be planted and harvested after October.

It was not yet midsummer, but the drought weather had begun to show signs. Since winter came out, there have not been a few rains. Instead, the weather is getting hotter than in previous years.

After June, the weather became hotter day by day. I didn’t even realize it in Qingyang. After arriving in the south, this feeling became more and more obvious.

Fu Tian wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood on the deck and looked at the farmland on the shore. Although the climate is not good at the moment, after the canal is dug, water conservancy in various places is also being built together, so even if there is not a few rain this year, the people are not worried about the past years.

The ship left Fengshui and entered Sihu River and finally arrived at the boundary of Nanming County.

The Sihu River channel was widened, and the boats were not forced to sail in, and they all went smoothly to Sifang Town.

The dock in Sifang Town has been completed, but the place is remote and there are few people to interact with outsiders, so it has never been used. Now the Fu family's ships are docking, which has attracted many people to stop and watch.

The person who saw Fu Tian was Fu. The quick-reacting person quickly bowed and called him the Marquis. After realizing it, the others who reacted quickly bowed and said to him.

Fu Tian was stunned for a moment, and he felt a sense of unreality as if he had been in another world. He had only been to Qingyang for a few months, and then returned to Sifang Town, and felt a sense of strangeness.

Nodding to everyone, Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian returned to the Fu family together in the Fu family's carriage.

The door of the Fu family, which had been closed for several months, finally opened. The carriage Fu Tian was riding in slowly closed, isolating outsiders' exploration.

The Fu family's house has not changed much. After they went to Qingyang, the house was managed by the old servants. Except for being quieter, it was the same as when they had just left.

The fire was set up in the kitchen to cook. After lunch, Fu Tianhui left and took Chu Xiangtian to the warehouse together.

The warehouse had no key and the servant couldn't get in, so no one cleaned it. When Fu Tian pushed open the door, a slight dust rose inside.

After entering, he closed the warehouse door. Fu Tian walked straight to the large vase, twisted it a few times, and then an entrance appeared.

Chu Xiangtian walked in front of Fu Tian with a lamp. The two of them walked downwards with a faint light, and the darker they went down. When they reached the bottom level, Chu Xiangtian asked Fu Tian to wait first, and then went over and lit the lamp before letting Fu Tian enter.

The dark kuli was exactly the same as before, with boxes of gold, silver and treasures piled up in a mess. Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows, "The ancestors of the Fu family are really rich enough to rival a country."

Fu Tian held his finger and shook it, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a token of love for you?"

Chu Xiangtian remembered the bronze key that Fu Tian gave him, and pinched his earlobe with amusedness, "I'm afraid I'll have to pay you for several lifetimes."

Fu Tian smiled sly, let go of him to the wall to find the keyhole he had seen before.

Chu Xiangtian also looked with him. His eyesight has always been good, but he didn't find anything special about the wall facing him. Unexpectedly, Fu Tian looked carefully for a while, and suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Here."

Chu Xiangtian looked along his fingers and found this extremely small keyhole.

Fu Tian took off the long life lock and let Chu Xiangtian open it. Then he pinched the small key and pointed it at the position and slowly pushed it in.

The key was inserted to the end and just filled the small holes in the stone wall. At this time, even Fu Tian couldn't find a gap when looking from the outside.

After the key was inserted, the stone wall was quiet and without any movement. Just as Fu Tian was confused, a slight clicking sound suddenly came from the stone wall, which was very similar to the sound made when the longevity lock was opened. It was clicking, as if the mechanism inside was slowly starting.

After a while, a slight dent suddenly appeared on the stone wall, which had no gap at all. Then the entire stone wall slowly moved back and moved to the left to close, revealing an entrance of an ordinary door size.

The entrance was not dark, and there was a faint light inside. Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian looked at each other, and Fu Tian guarded the door. Chu Xiangtian went in first to explore the way.

Although it is a dark library left by our ancestors, no one knows whether there are other mechanisms, so it is better to be more cautious.

The aisle is very long, with night pearl lighting embedded on both sides of the stone walls and ceilings, so you can see the road clearly without the candlelight in your hand.

After walking all the way, Chu Xiangtian looked around and confirmed that there were no other mechanisms here before turning back and going in with Fu Tian at the door.
