Hearing Bai Qingqing's words, the two corals hidden underwater breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the ancestral tomb of their clan.
The largest coral they were referring to was actually the remains of their ancestor.
They were both incredibly nervous when the monkey said it was going to take it away.
We can't win by fighting.
After all, they were only responsible for guarding the tomb, and their cultivation level was only at the Core Formation stage.
Moreover, there is a large seawater array outside Shadow Moon Island, and they have only encountered a man named Yun Zhan twice in the hundreds of years they have been guarding the tomb.
Uh, that's the third time now.
But what exactly does this man want to do by coming to Shadowmoon Island so often?
Should we notify the powerful members of the clan?
Before the two coral polyps could come up with a concrete plan, Bai Qingqing had already finished admiring the corals and left.
They then spent another half day strolling around with Yun Zhan.
After visiting all the beautiful and scenic spots on the island, we returned to the cabin.
Bai Qingqing sat in the chair, looking out at the blue sky and the sea.
I suddenly feel homesick.
When she was little, her grandfather would take her to different islands for vacation every summer.
Just like now, she likes to sit in a chair and stare blankly at the blue sky and the sea.
The scenery remains the same, but the people can never go back.
"Are you tired?" Yuexi sat down next to Bai Qingqing, gently brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, and asked softly.
"It's alright." Bai Qingqing leaned on Yuexi's shoulder and said, "It just feels a bit familiar here, and it reminds me of some past events."
Yuexi gently put her arm around Bai Qingqing's shoulder and said, "If you like it here, Mother will come with you again in the future."
She thought Bai Qingqing was missing her uncle in black.
After all, Tianhun had lived there for fifteen years.
It's normal to have feelings for someone.
"Yes, thank you, Mother," Bai Qingqing said, holding Yuexi's arm.
"Silly girl, why are you saying such polite things to your mother?" Yuexi tapped Bai Qingqing's forehead and smiled indulgently.
After the mother and daughter cuddled together for a while, Bai Qingqing began to continue examining the bronze box.
I touched and fastened everything from head to toe, top to bottom.
The bronze box did not react at all.
Bai Qingqing immediately crafted a bunch of essential tools for opening boxes and picking locks: shovels, knives, axes, saws...
It has everything.
But it's all used up, and the bronze box is still the same as it was when it was first taken out.
It didn't budge.
Those top-grade spirit stones couldn't even leave a trace on its body.
Bai Qingqing was at her wit's end.
This bronze box is so sturdy, like a turtle shell.
"Xiao Hao, give me a hint," Bai Qingqing thought to herself.
“This is a poetry box,” Xiao Hao said slowly after a while.
"A poetry box?" Bai Qingqing asked. "You mean, it requires reciting a poem to open?"
“It’s written on it,” Xiao Hao said.
"So many poems, do I have to try them all? How long would that take?" Bai Qingqing almost exploded.
The key point is that she couldn't memorize all of them.
“If we use the calligraphy brush provided by the system, any phrase will do,” Xiao Hao said.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Bai Qingqing said, and began to flip through the calligraphy brush in the system space.
After searching for a while, I remembered that the calligraphy brush was in the study.
I didn't bring it with me.
"Xiao Hao, I remember you said before that I could take things from the courtyard anytime, right?" Bai Qingqing asked.
"No," Xiao Hao said.
“You clearly said before that I could control anything taken out of the system space with my mind,” Bai Qingqing said, frowning.
"This is limited to the courtyard only," Xiao Hao said. "This is Shadowmoon Island."
"Okay." Bai Qingqing paused for a moment and asked, "Could there be a treasure map in here too?"
“Yes,” Xiao Hao said, “So, the bronze box that was given out in the gift pack before, although there was only one, was a top-quality treasure.”
It can open in a series.
"Still holding a grudge?" Bai Qingqing couldn't help but laugh.
“Xiao Hao didn’t mean anything by it. Xiao Hao just wanted to tell the host that Xiao Hao and the host are one, and everything Xiao Hao does is for the host’s good,” Xiao Hao said.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Bai Qingqing moved her fingers.
It's a pity that Xiao Hao is just a system, not a physical entity, otherwise I really wanted to pet him a couple of times.
"But the design of this treasure box is terrible. There's not even a hint. It's just asking people to guess!" Bai Qingqing couldn't help but complain again.
At this moment, Xiao Hao desperately wanted to tell Bai Qingqing the truth, but he didn't dare.
After a moment of silence, he said, "There's a hint above, in the bottom left corner. Just keep scratching."
Bai Qingqing did as instructed, and it took her the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to pick at it.
They removed the patina that had formed over time, revealing the smooth inner surface.
Then I could feel the slight differences in texture.
After washing it with water, Bai Qingqing was finally able to see what the concave and convex parts were.
Poetry, the poetry of verses.
"Your hints are brilliant. How did you come up with that? It's so pointless," Bai Qingqing said speechlessly.
Xiao Hao couldn't help but say, "Host, you shouldn't say that."
Before Bai Qingqing could answer Xiao Hao, Yue Xi asked, "Qingqing, is there any progress?"
"Yes, I know how to open it." Bai Qingqing nodded and said, "But I have to go back to the Star Moon Sect to open it."
"Shall we head back first thing tomorrow morning?" Yun Yue asked.
They were also very curious about what was inside the bronze box, since Bai Qingqing had studied it for so long.
"Yes, I'm fine." Bai Qingqing put away the bronze box and said, "You've worked hard these past few days, Clan Chief Yun."
“I’ve actually been wanting to come out and have some fun. Zhan’er always recommended this island to me, but I never had the time. Now I’m finally here,” Yun Yue said.
"Thank you for leading the way, Young Master Yun," Bai Qingqing said, turning to Yun Zhan.
“Over the years, I have traveled to many places across the five continents. If Miss Bai wishes to go somewhere in the future, and I have been there before, I will definitely show you the way,” Yun Zhan said.
"Then it's settled." Bai Qingqing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Young Master Yun, do you want to cultivate?"
As soon as Bai Qingqing said this, everyone involuntarily looked up at her.
Yun Yue was so excited that she almost bit her tongue.
Yun Zhan was somewhat confused about what Bai Qingqing meant by those words, and after a pause, he said, "Miss Bai should know that I have no spiritual root."
“I might have a way.” Bai Qingqing paused for a moment and said, “However, it’s not very safe. I can only guarantee that it won’t endanger your life.”
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Bai." Yun Zhan stood up and cupped his hands in greeting.
"I might not succeed, and you might get hurt." Bai Qingqing felt she had to say these things upfront.
"It's alright, Miss Bai, just use whatever methods you have." Yun Zhan laughed, "Anyway, I'm a tank, I'm tough and resilient, Miss Bai doesn't need to have any worries."
PS: Help! I need a summary of Chapter 011, no more than 25 words. I've written at least twenty sentences for the top recommendation of this chapter, and they've all been rejected. I'm exhausted and going bald!
