Chapter 281: Successfully Opening the Secret Box
"I always feel like we've gone in the wrong direction." Xie Yingmian reclined on the rattan chair, pinching his brows hard. "Maybe the Xiao Monkey we're looking for isn't the Xiao Monkey Fu Fu mentioned."
Fu Fu clearly stated that Xiao Houzi is the Xiao Houzi of the palace, not the Xiao Houzi of Plum Blossom Village.
The Xiao Houzi from Meihua Village may just be a person with the same name.
Yu Lingye is making annotations.
Hearing Xie Yingmian's words, he paused for a moment: "Are there any similarities between the token given by Fu Fu and the token given by Xiao Qingyan?"
Xie Yingmian shook his head: "There's nothing similar."
"If you must say they're similar, they're both made of very common materials?"
"I asked Qing Huang, and Qing Huang said that the token Fu Fu gave was not an information card, but an ordinary stone."
Yu Lingye: "Do Xiao's parents know Xie Jingyun?"
Xie Yingmian didn't quite understand what Yu Lingye meant.
Yu Lingye said: "The token in Xiao Qingyan's hand should be Xie Jingyun's."
"Take the token and go find Lao Huang. Then use the token to find the key. With the key, you can enter the third floor and find the things that Xie Jingyun left behind."
"Whether it's a token or a key, it should be kept secret."
"As your mother's biological daughter, you know nothing about your mother's keepsake and Xie Jingyun, but Xiao Qingyan knows so much about it. This in itself is worth thinking about."
"Secondly, the token that Fufu has comes from Xiao's parents, and the way to find it is exactly the same as your mother's token. This can't be a coincidence."
Xie Yingmian's eyes lit up slightly: "What do you mean?"
Yu Lingye pondered for a moment and expressed his guess: "I guess Xie Jingyun and Xiao's parents are acquainted, or are familiar with each other. Xie Jingyun told Xiao's parents about the token and the key."
"The Xiao family's parents told Xiao Qingyan, and Xiao Qingyan told you."
Xie Yingmian understood this time.
The knot that had been stuck in my heart for a long time was suddenly untied.
The original owner's mother died early, perhaps accidentally, and did not leave any information about the token to the original owner.
Xiao Qingyan knew everything that the original owner didn't know.
The fact that Xie Jingyun thought of using this method to hide the Stone of Immortality means that this information cannot be easily found out.
The most likely possibility is that Xiao's parents or Xie Jingyun entrusted this matter to Xiao Qingyan.
In other words, Xiao Qingyan was originally entrusted by Xiao's parents or Xie Jingyun to tell her about the token.
result.
Xiao Qingyan told her, and also framed her, involving her in the Dead Man Ridge case, and asked her to clear the grievances of Longyuan Army, Liao Family, and Xiao Family.
When Xie Yingmian thought of this, he felt completely gloomy.
People like Xiao Qingyan are not suitable to be friends. Even if you are cheated by her, you still have to count money for her.
"I still don't understand." Xie Yingmian said, "What does this have to do with Xiao Houzi's key?"
Yu Lingye said: "The tokens of the Xiao family's parents and the Xiao Monkey and the like, perhaps the Xiao family's parents are imitating Xie Jingyun."
"Then what?" Xie Yingmian felt itchy in the head, as if she was growing a brain.
Yu Lingye continued, "You can compare the two times and see what the difference is."
Xie Yingmian: There is a huge difference.
The first time went very smoothly.
The second time was very magical. She accidentally lived in Meihua Village, met the descendants of Xiao Houzi, and got a cookbook.
The token was not used, and the key was not found...
Thinking of this, a light bulb went off in Xie Yingmian's mind.
That’s right!
She never used the token that Fu Fu gave her from beginning to end.
If the token was useless, Xiao's parents wouldn't have to give such serious instructions to Fu Fu, and Xiao Lingxi's husband Pang Xuduan and others wouldn't have to spend so much effort to get the token.
Xiao Houzi is not a bionic human like Qing Huang.
If you are human, you will die.
Especially in the palace, the death of a person is almost the same as the death of an ant.
There is no way that Xiao's parents could not have thought of this.
Therefore, Xiao Houzi has never been the focus.
The key is the keepsake!
Xie Yingmian went to the small box to look for the keepsake.
This token was originally placed in the empty stone space. She forgot why, but she took it out by mistake.
Later, her empty stone space was abducted.
Also stolen were various medicines, banknotes, etc. in the space.
Without the empty stone space, she locked her more valuable items in this small box.
For example, the silver notes she obtained later and the secret box she got from Qingxiao a while ago were all placed in this small box.
The weather is nice.
The window is open.
The midday sun shone through the window onto the table, and also onto Xie Yingmian's small box.
The token was placed in front of the secret box. Sunlight shone through the token onto the secret box. Xie Yingmian suddenly discovered that
When the sunlight, the token, and the secret box formed a straight line, the token, which was an ordinary stone, turned transparent.
From Xie Yingmian's perspective, he could clearly see that there was something like a small fish hidden in the token.
Xie Yingmian picked up the token and looked at it in the sunlight, but could see nothing.
Only when the secret box is used as the background can the token be transparent.
"Yu Lingye, did you see that?" Xie Yingmian asked, "When the secret box is used as the background, the token can transmit light. There is something inside the token."
"Let's break it open and see?" Yu Lingye asked.
Xie Yingmian also meant this.
She asked Fu Mo to bring an axe and gestured twice at the token.
When she was about to smash it, she hesitated again: "Really?"
What if they find another Xiao Houzi after smashing it?
"There won't be another Xiao Houzi." Yu Lingye said.
"I'll do it." He picked up the axe and smashed it against the token.
When the stone was subjected to force, it cracked and broke in the middle.
"So crispy?" Xie Yingmian was surprised.
That stone looks very solid.
Yu Lingye took the small fish from the stone fragments.
The fish is very small, about the length of an index finger, and it is impossible to tell what material it is made of.
"There's also a small fish shape on the secret box." Xie Yingmian pointed to one side of the secret box, "Here."
When she first got the secret box, it was a whole box. There was no place to enter the password, and no place to open it. There was only a small fish pattern on it.
At that time, she thought the fish pattern was just a decoration.
Xie Yingmian put the token fish on it.
With a light click, the token fish and the secret box were put together.
Click, click.
After a few crisp sounds, the secret box changed its shape, and a palm-sized cipher disk appeared on the front.
"The place to enter the key has appeared." Xie Yingmian looked at the key, her heart trembling slightly, "Yu Lingye, give me the recipe."
Xie Yingmian found all the recipes related to fish.
There are three fish recipes.
"The key is indeed in these three cards." Xie Yingmian said.
Yu Lingye frowned.
He glanced at the code disk of the secret box and didn't understand a single word.
I took another look at the recipe.
The recipe is a recipe, the cipher disk is a cipher disk, and he had no idea that the two were related.
Xie Yingmian didn't explain either.
She arranged the keys in the order shown on the code disk.
Wait until the last one is arranged.
With a click, the secret box opened.
