Shizheng of Tibetan Scriptures Repeated Eight

Zhang Danian looked at Wu Soong, but Wu Soong's eyes were still fixed on him. After a while, Zhang Danian was affected by the aura of Wu Soong's gaze and turned towards the side, calling for Lai Fu, telling Lai Fu to bring Jiang Xiaobai to buy some small fishes.

After the blessings were over, Zhang Danian turned to Wu Soong and smiled: "Big brother, how do you know our family has such an iron box?"

Wu Soong laughed, "Not only do I know about it, I also know about your metal box. Each side of your box has eight words on it — —"

Zhang Danian was even more shocked. Zhang Xuan was perplexed.

Wu Soong looked at Zhang Danian: "You really don't know anything?"

Zhang Danian asked curiously: "What do I know?"

Wu Soong looked at Zhang Danian deeply once more, then said slowly: "Little brat, let me show you something —" After speaking, Wu Soong reached his right hand into his left sleeve, fumbled around for a while, and then, slowly took out a black short sword from his left sleeve.

The short sword was only about a foot long, the sword brand did not even have an edge, the entire short sword was just a blunt sword.

There were two ancient characters carved on the hilt of the sword.

The two words were straight and straight, but their strokes were extremely simple and unsophisticated, giving off an ancient feeling.

Zhang Danian was dumbstruck.

He did not understand the meaning behind Wu Soong's blunt sword.

Wu Soong looked at the blunt sword in his hand, and slowly said: "The word 'gentleman' on the sword hilt, this sword is called Junzi Sword." After pausing for a moment, Wu Soong raised his head, and looked from the blunt sword to Zhang Danian's face with his tiger-like eyes, and continued: "Your metal box is a sword sheath, it is the sword sheath that holds the Junzi Sword, the blade is a dragon, the sword is a tiger, and your metal box is called the Tiger Box."

Zhang Danian was even more dumbstruck.

This was the first time he heard the true origin of this metal box, but he was still a little doubtful about what Wu Soong was saying.

Wu Soong seemed to be able to see the doubt in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This Junzi Sword and this Tiger Box is male and female, so they are incompatible. After leaving, this Junzi Sword will cry every night, and look for the sword sheath. As long as the metal box is within five kilometers of the Junzi Sword, the Junzi Sword would be able to move correspondingly — "

Zhang Danian frowned, and muttered: "Big Brother Wu, I do not know if that metal box in my house is the sword sheath you spoke of, but according to your explanation, if it was the sword box, then within five kilometers, the Junzi Sword would jump, but my iron box is inside my bedroom, and my bedroom is only two hundred meters away, and this Junzi Sword still hasn't moved, how do you explain that?"

Wu Soong's eyes flashed, and said slowly: "Are you sure, that your metal box is inside the bedroom?"

After hearing what Wu Soong said, he was not sure, but after thinking for a moment, he turned to Wu Soong and said: Big Brother Wu, I'll bring you to see our metal box, once you see the metal box, you will know if it is the sword sheath Tiger Box you spoke of.

Wu Soong replied: "Okay." And then he stood up. He put the Junzi Sword back into his left sleeve.

Zhang Danian stood up immediately and brought Wu Soong to his bedroom. Opening the drawer that held the iron box, Zhang Danian was immediately stunned. There was nothing in the drawer, no one knew when that iron box had disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Danian's body immediately began to drip cold sweat. Looking at the empty drawer, Zhang Danian stammered: "Big Brother Wu, I saw it a few days ago, but it's gone today — This, what's going on?"

Zhang Danian looked at the key that he had just opened and his heart was a mess, "This key wasn't lost either and the lock was not broken, how could the iron box inside the drawer disappear without a trace?"

Wu Soong did not say anything, but carefully checked the interior of the house, not missing anything. There were tables, drawers, windows, and the floor. When Wu Soong's gaze fell upon the wall on the left side of the bedroom where a painting was hung, his gaze focused immediately, fixed on the painting, and did not move for a long time.

The color of the painting was somewhat yellow, depicting a mountain peak, and at the foot of the mountain, there was a continuous rise and fall of a manor. In front of the manor a great river rolled eastward.

Below the manor, there was a large grave that was quite a distance away. Dozens of coffins were placed in a large stone room inside the tomb. Beneath the coffin was a huge monster lying prone on the ground. Its tail was curled into a ball, and in the river not far away, a four-legged square cauldron was suspended in the air.

There seemed to be a black hole above the giant tripod. The black hole was like a human's eyes. Even though it was just a painting, the ghost aura was still pressing down on him.

This painting seemed to be an ancient artifact that spanned thousands of years. On top of the painting, there were houses, mountains, and tombs. Even though there were only a few strokes on the great river, it was extremely lifelike.

Wu Soong looked at the picture and started to frown slowly. After a while, Wu Soong asked: "Little brat, where did you get this picture?"

Zhang Danian was stunned for a moment, then replied: "This painting was the one I saw the day before yesterday when I was shopping, and on the way there, I met a wandering Taoist. That Taoist was sitting by the side of the road selling paintings, and this painting was only one of them. That Taoist, however, did not ask for my money. Instead, he told me that since I like it, I will give this painting to me. "

Wu Soong frowned: "That Taoist You Fang gave it to you for nothing?"

Zhang Danian nodded his head: "That's right, after I got the painting back home, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, so I decided to hang it in my room for Lai Fu. What? Big Brother Wu, is this a bit inappropriate? "

The expression on Wu Soong's face became more and more solemn. After being silent for a while, Wu Soong turned around and said to Zhang Danian: "Go and get a basin of water."

Zhang Danian was dumbstruck. He did not understand why Wu Soong wanted a bucket of water, but he still walked to the door and called Fu to bring a bucket of water.

Wu Soong took the copper basin and placed it on a table. He then extended his right hand and bit the middle finger's fingertip, and then the middle finger faced the copper basin. A drop of blood dripped onto the copper plate.

The drop of blood slowly spread out.

Zhang Danian and Laifu stood to the side and watched Wu Soong doing all this.

After Wu Soong finished all of this, he then removed the ancient painting from the wall and slowly placed it into the copper basin's blood.

After a while, Wu Soong slowly lifted the ancient drawing from the copper pot.

The entire ancient painting had been drenched in blood, and after that, Wu Soong placed the ancient painting on the table, then called Zhang Danian over: "Little brat, look at this painting, what's more?"

Zhang Danian was confused: "What's more in the painting?" As he focused his attention on the painting, he noticed that there was actually an extra person on it. That person also had a few strokes. However, the outline of the man's body could be seen.

It was a daoist in a long robe, with a few stray goatees. He was looking at the manor from the side.

Zhang Danian exclaimed, and said: "Strange, there really is one more person."

Laifu was also very curious. He also came over and saw the Taoist on the painting, and he could not help but chime in.

Wu Soong said in a heavy voice, "Could it be that there's only one more person? "Take a closer look."

Hearing Wu Soong say that, Zhang Danian's heart became even more confused, he immediately focused on the ancient painting, and started looking again. After a moment, Zhang Danian let out a startled cry, and almost jumped up.
