Chapter 291 A Painting



"Master, is there any way to defeat the enemy?" Yu Yuanzheng calmed himself down before asking, but his throat was tight.

She didn't dare to think, if that day really came, where would their whole family go? What would happen to her children?

The Queen and her husband will surely die on the battlefield.

How could a little girl like her have a chance to escape in such troubled times?

She shuddered at the thought.

"Yes, and the solution is in the iron box in Prince Rong's Mansion." Master Wu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng did not relax.

"But, Master, no one can open that iron box." She felt that what Master Wu said was as good as saying nothing.

"I read another fortune two months ago, and someone in Prince Rong's Mansion can open it."

"Who?" Yu Yuanzheng asked impatiently.

The king had said this before, so he placed the iron box in the place where the children in the main courtyard often played, hoping that one of the children would be lucky and pull out the right number suddenly after a few random pulls.

But Yu Yuanzheng knew that it was too difficult.

It is not that easy to find a fourteen-digit secret ton. If you try them one by one according to the permutations and combinations, there will be a trillion numbers, ten to the fourteenth power.

If a person were to try to remove all the germs one by one, it would probably take a lifetime to remove all the germs.

"It is you, the donor." Master Wu pointed out affirmatively.

"What? Master, are you kidding? I have tried many times to open it, but it didn't work." Yu Yuanzheng couldn't believe that it was him.

She had tried it many times when she was in Jingkai City. At first, she was interested and pulled for a long time, but there was no reaction at all.

Moreover, it would take half a quarter of an hour to change all fourteen numbers each time. That ton code lock was a mechanism and was not as easy to use as the ton code locks of later generations.

The ancestors simply wanted to make things difficult for the descendants and didn't want anyone to open it.

"Donor, you need to calm down, think slowly, try slowly, instead of blindly picking numbers at random." Wu Daqi advised patiently.

"Master, do you have any hints?" Yu Yuanzheng suddenly thought of a possibility, whether the ancestors might have left some coded hints.

"Yes." Master Wu simply gave her hope.

Master Wu sat down and took out a long wooden box from the cabinet in the corner.

He took out a long wooden box from inside.

“Donor, this was left by the third generation Prince Rong and Princess Rong.

He once left a message, saying that if there was anyone among the monks of Huguo Temple who could open the iron box, he would give this to him.

My master, Dangji, and the third generation Prince Rong are close friends.

Because my master lived a long life, he passed away at the age of 98 and walked behind Prince Rong.

I was fortunate enough to be my master's last disciple, so this thing remained in my hands.

Please accept it, benefactor."

Master Wu handed the long wooden box to Yu Yuanzheng.

She took it and looked at it. It was a slightly rotten wooden box.

There is no lock, you can open it directly.

Yu Yuanzheng opened it and read it in front of Master Wu.

Inside is a scroll.

Take it out and unfold it on the high table.

It is a portrait of a couple in their forties.

The two of them were sitting side by side, and their attire looked like that of a prince and princess.

The man was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with gold dragons. The robe had a deep sky blue base and was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, which was hovering among the clouds, lifelike, demonstrating his supreme status and majesty.

The edge of the robe is inlaid with delicate pearls and gems, sparkling with light.

She wears a crown inlaid with emerald green jade and twelve tassels hanging down, which adds a sense of dignity and mystery.

He wore a jade belt around his waist, which was engraved with auspicious images of dragons and phoenixes. The jade belt buckle was a piece of finely carved mutton-fat white jade, showing his kingly demeanor.

Looking at the woman again, she was wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with a phoenix. The dress had a soft rouge red base and was embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings as if about to fly. The phoenix's feathers were colorful, echoing the prince's five-clawed dragon robe.

She had a towering bun and wore an exquisite headpiece with a sparkling pearl in the center, which shone like a dewdrop in the morning light, reflecting her gentle and dignified face.

She wore exquisite jade earrings on her ears, and she seemed to be able to hear the clear and pleasant sounds, which added a bit of agility and vitality to her solemn face.

This couple, the prince is majestic yet gentle, and the princess is dignified yet gentle.

Yu Yuanzheng was fascinated by the painting. Although they were a middle-aged couple, one could tell that they were a match made in heaven.

There is also a short poem next to it.

Red Plum

Don’t be jealous of peach and plum flowers, for they have different appearances.

It still has the appearance of snow and frost, and is not yet completely red.

Yu Yuanzheng seemed to have read this poem before, but it had been so long that the impression was not very deep, but he must have read it in his previous life.

This poem says that among the third generation ancestors, there must be one person who traveled through time from later generations.

Since she was not very interested in her ancestors, she only asked her husband a few simple questions.

Now it seems that she has to ask carefully.

What does it mean that this poem is written on this portrait?

There is also a blooming red plum blossom on the iron box.

Is there any connection between these?

For a moment, Yu Yuanzheng was completely at a loss for words.

Recovering his thoughts, Yu Yuanzheng rolled up the painting and put it back into the box.

"Master, are the people in this painting the old prince and princess who are now living in Danggu?"

"Exactly."

"You can let me take it away, right?" Yu Yuanzheng believed Master Wu's words to some extent.

It is impossible for such an enlightened monk to tell lies.

The reason why the master calculated that she could open the iron box was probably because she came from another world.

"Yes, please keep it for safekeeping. This is the only clue." Master Zheng Yuwu said.

"Well, I will definitely keep it. May I ask how the master knew that I could open it?" Yu Yuanzheng was a little curious.

After hearing her question, Master Wu smiled gently.

"I have already thought that there is someone in Prince Rong's Mansion who can open the iron box, but I don't know who it is.

So when you all passed by the door just now, I looked at the faces of each of you, including your children.

And your face looks like that of a wealthy and powerful person, so I venture to guess that it is you.

As soon as you came in just now, I continued to observe and it was you, there was no mistake.

Because there is a layer of auspiciousness covering your head."

Master Wu stroked his beard and said with a smile, his face full of compassion.

"Please open the iron box as soon as possible. Keep our Wei family safe and drive away Canglan."

These words made Yu Yuanzheng feel under tremendous pressure, as if the death of the entire Wei Dynasty was weighing on her.

His expression suddenly turned grim, and his mood became even gloomier.

"Don't feel too stressed, just go with the flow." Master Wu comforted again.

"Well, I'll try my best." Yu Yuanzheng thought that her husband might die on the battlefield, so she had to take on this mission no matter what.

She walked out of Master Wu's meditation room in a trance, holding the box. Master Huitong, who had just brought her here, was still standing outside the door waiting for her.

"Donor, please." Hui Tong saw her come out and led her back to her original room.

As soon as she left, two people walked into Master Wu's Zen room from a side door.

"Master, how is it?"
