Chapter 271 Gigi's Life Story
He just waved a feather duster at the mud pool, and the sticky black mud spontaneously flowed to the left and right. After a few seconds, a staircase leading down appeared, which was the same staircase they had walked down before.
This means they don't have to come into contact with the stinky mud.
Xu Chuchu was stunned. "Is this... a magical weapon? When did you get this magical weapon?"
"I bought it in the city yesterday." Xiao Yu answered happily.
He remembered that Xu Chuchu really didn't like wading through the stinky mud here, so he went to Yuelai Casino specifically to buy the magic weapon.
"You took such a big risk to go into the city yesterday just to buy a feather duster to sweep up the mud?!" Xu Chuchu pressed his temples.
Xiao Yu's happiness immediately disappeared, and he held the feather duster blankly: "It's still somewhat useful, right? I can use it to clean the house in the future."
"No... forget it." Xu Chuchu didn't know whether to complain about Xiao Yu or the person who invented this feather duster.
She was the first to jump down, and led everyone down to the room filled with medicines and magical instruments.
"Wow, so many treasures!" The big orange cat opened several boxes with its paws, grabbed a shiny ring and put it on its hand.
“Is it beautiful?”
Xiao Yu slapped him over there: "Put it back! Did Chuchu let you take it?"
Daju took off the ring angrily and snorted, "Chuchu wouldn't scold me if I took it, do you dare?"
Xiao Yu: “…”
Gigi was also stunned by the treasures piled up in front of her.
Why would Senior Sister bring him here? Was it because there were too many things for the two of them to move, so she asked him to help?
"Jiji, come here." Xu Chuchu suddenly called him.
She pointed to the pattern on the iron frame in the middle and asked Gigi: "Do you recognize this pattern?"
Gigi recognized it almost immediately: "This is my sword!"
He hurriedly took out the daggers and compared them together. Except that the one on the shelf was a little older, everything else was exactly the same.
What's going on?!
Looking at the shape of the iron frame, could it be... the place where this sword is placed?
Wait, there are words underneath.
Sink?
The unfamiliar surname made Jiji confused. So this sword belonged to the Shen family, not his?
Who left the Shen family's sword in his cradle?
It can't be possible that he is from the Shen family, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Xu Chuchu observed his changing expressions. "Jiji, have you ever thought about your life experience? And the origin of this sword?"
Gigi shook his head woodenly.
Xiao Yu stopped glaring at Da Ju and came over to explain, "Jiji, this iron frame is a mechanism. We've already unlocked the mechanism on the disc underneath. Now we need to place your sword on it to unlock the secret of the Five Stars in a Row."
Jiji then handed the sword directly to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was stunned, thinking that Jiji would release it himself, but he didn't delay after getting the sword and carefully placed it on the sword rack.
Everyone held their breath and waited, but nothing happened for a long time.
"Maybe... this sword has nothing to do with this place, it's just that the pattern happens to be the same." Gigi said nervously.
"Should I stand on it?" Xu Chuchu took down the sword, stood on the disc himself, and put it back with a pious look on his face.
Still no movement.
She tried to channel some spiritual power again, but the iron frame was still the same iron frame, and the disc was still the same disc.
"Is it the wrong posture?" she wondered, "Or is there some mantra I need to chant?"
"Do we need a cat demon to come up?" Daju came up excitedly to try it, but of course nothing happened.
However, this sentence suddenly enlightened Xiao Yu.
He glanced at the word "Shen" again and analyzed: "Will someone from the Shen family be needed to step up?"
Xu Chuchu nodded: "It's possible, Jiji, go up and try it."
Jiji was shocked: "I, I am definitely not from the Shen family."
What kind of family is the Shen family? It's the family of a great general, a family of heroes. To be a member of the Shen family, even if you do nothing, is already an honor.
He is just a little beggar, how could he be related to the Shen family?
"Give it a try." Xiao Yu couldn't understand Gigi's resistance.
Xu Chuchu walked closer and put her hand on his shoulder: "Don't you want to know your background, Jiji? Go and try. Even if you are not, it won't be worse than it is now."
Of course Xu Jiji wanted to know about his own life experience, even in his dreams.
He was different from other little beggars. He had an unusual sword on him since he was a child. He always fantasized that when he woke up, his relatives would appear, recognize the sword, and take him home.
If you dream too much and none of them come true, you will always face reality.
This time Gigi didn't dare to try it again, for he was afraid that there would be no response if he stood on it.
There will be no disappointment without hope, so it’s safer to hide away.
Although they had not had much contact, Xu Chuchu could still see the child's timidity and hope.
"Gigi, you're already a very good child," she said softly. "Your background is just the icing on the cake."
"...and it also represents home." Gigi lowered her head sadly.
Just when Xu Chuchu didn't know how to comfort him, Jiji suddenly raised his head high and took the sword.
So what if he can’t find his home? We can’t let him delay our work.
He stood on the disc and put his sword on the rack like the three people before him.
Almost in an instant, the disc under his feet suddenly began to rotate and then split in the middle!
"There's a reaction!" Xiao Yu grabbed Jiji to prevent him from being hurt by any trap below.
"I'm from the Shen family?! Really?" Jiji was so excited that she almost jumped up. "I'm from the Shen family. I'm not an orphan anymore!"
The authorities responded, which meant he was different! He was recognized!
Daju also started yelling, "Wow, from now on you won't be called Xu Jiji, you'll be called Shen Jiji!"
"No, I have to report it to Master first, and she has to agree!" Jiji said this, and began to mutter in a low voice, "Chen Jiji, Shen Jiji..."
"No." He suddenly realized, "It's Shen Zhe, not Shen Jiji!"
Daju was already shaking with laughter.
Over there, Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu had already started studying the mechanism under the disc.
The trap they thought was going to happen didn't happen, and the tunnel or secret door they thought was going to happen didn't appear either.
The disc was split in the middle like a mooncake. It was hollow inside and contained a...candlestick?
This candlestick is the size of an ordinary candlestick, but it is bright yellow all over and translucent under the light, making it look very delicate.
Xu Chuchu held the candlestick carefully.
This time, there was no requirement that it must be the heir of the Shen family, so she could take it out easily.
"What material is this made of? Gemstone?" Xu Chuchu asked.
Xiao Yu took it and examined it inside and out: "It should be amber. This is the first time I have seen such a large piece of pure amber."
"Is this the secret of the five planets in conjunction? Amber?... Wait, look here!" Xu Chuchu wanted to see if there was anything else in the mooncake, but found some calligraphy and paintings inside.
Xiao Yu shone his spiritual light inside and found that the calligraphy and painting seemed to tell a story.
"This story..." he hesitated, "No, it's a prophecy."
