Chapter 654 Iron Birch Box
Lu Xin wandered around the yard without any notice. He went into his parents' bedroom and looked around, but found nothing. Finally, he returned to his small room with sporadic hope and rummaged through the cabinets.
After hearing what Se Kong said so surely, Lu Xin searched everywhere in his home and almost dug three feet into the ground. It took more than two hours to find nothing.
It seems that there is still a place that has not been found, but it has not been found there?
While muttering the questions in his heart, Lu Xin widened his eyes and glanced at the corners of the yard and room like a searchlight.
After more than ten minutes, he ruled out all the places he had searched, and the only one he had not seen was a crib placed under the birch bed that he slept after he was two years old. Lu Xin slept on that bed before he was two years old.
Lu Xin originally wanted to throw away this useless crib, but his grandfather stopped him because his father had told him before going to Japan to perform a mission that he would not be discarded in the courtyard.
Lu Xin heard that it was his father's intention and never abandoned anything in his house again. After he went down the mountain eighteen years ago, everything in the house remained the same as eighteen years ago. Even a rusty fruit knife was placed in the kitchen, and the crib was always placed under the birch bed.
Because of this, it took Lu Xin so long to find a secret book in a small courtyard, because there were too many miscellaneous items piled up.
Lu Xin pulled out the crib and wiped away the dust that had been accumulated over many years with a rag. Looking at it, the small bed was made of pineapple wood with some animal patterns engraved on it. Several kittens, dogs, chickens and ducks were lifelike and cute. There was a line of small words engraved under the pattern: May Xiao Xin be healthy and happy forever.
I think this was created by my father for himself. When I remembered the scene of a martial arts master squatting on the ground with a loving heart to create a small bed, Lu Xin couldn't help but feel a little choked in his throat: Why did the person who loves him leave so early, leaving only the young self alone and helpless to face this cold home?
Lu Xin quickly calmed down his sad mood and looked at the crib carefully. At first glance, it seemed impossible to hide something.
But he vaguely saw a small arrow next to his father's line, which was so small that people could almost ignore it into the texture on the wood.
Lu Xin didn't want to miss any possibility, so he followed the arrow and touched it with his hands.
Suddenly he felt a slightly raised part at the top of the arrow. The raised part cannot be seen with the naked eye. It must be touched with hands to feel it.
Lu Xinfu reached his heart and tentatively pressed the raised position at the top of the arrow, but there was no reaction at all.
He threw the wooden bed on the ground in annoyance and prepared to close the door and leave.
Just as he opened the door and took one foot, he suddenly heard a crisp sound.
Lu Xin hurriedly looked back and found that a whole piece of wood bounced and fell from the side of the wooden bed, showing a hole on the side of the wooden bed.
Lu Xin was extremely happy and hurriedly closed the door and inserted the bolt from inside. He turned around and walked into the house, lifted the wooden bed, and looked into the hole.
There was a small wooden box inside the hole, and Lu Xin hurriedly reached out and took out the wooden box.
The wooden box was black all over, and it looked small and thin, but Lu Xin couldn't hold it with one hand and had to hold it with both hands.
Lu Xin recognized that this wooden box is made of iron birch, and the door of the study where the Lu family stores martial arts secrets is also made of iron birch.
Lu Xin understood why his father used iron birch to make this box, because iron birch is extremely dense and very hard, three times harder than oak and twice harder than ordinary steel. It is the hardest wood in the world. At the same time, because the wood is dense and has a large specific gravity, it does not float on the water but sinks to the bottom of the water when put in water for a long time. Even if it is immersed in water for a long time, the moisture will be difficult to penetrate into the inside, and the inside of the wood can still remain dry.
Lu Xin used to hear people mention the goodness of this wood, but now he sees it as a real thing. This wooden box has been left in the wooden bed for many years and has not been soaked in the water, and the inside and outside of the box has not been damaged at all.
Lu Xin was extremely excited and wanted to uncover the wooden box and see what was going on.
But a small iron lock locked the box tightly, causing Lu Xin to almost vomit blood. It turns out that good things are a lot of trouble.
When Lu Xin touched the iron lock, he was confused. The box was placed in his crib. It had been almost seven or eight years since the iron lock looked dark and shiny, without any rust.
Lu Xin held the iron lock in his hand, and it was cold and irritating.
Lu Xin hurriedly released the iron lock, looked over it carefully, and at the same time guessed in his heart, could this be made of the cold iron that was undesirable in the legend of the clan members.
He tried to use the super power to control the lock core and open the iron lock, but found that his sensible lock unlocking method had completely failed and could not control the lock core of the lock.
He tried to suck away the metal energy of the lock and turn the lock into slag, but found that the super energy of gold control could not suck away the metal energy inside.
He was very curious and used the superpower to control gold to detect the metal component of the lock. He was shocked to find that this lock was not the iron lock he imagined, nor was it any other common metal.
Lu Xin suddenly realized that the so-called cold iron and black iron were all made of meteorites outside the sky, not metallic matter on the earth, so his gold-controlled superpower could not control this lock.
It seems that I can only find the key corresponding to this lock.
One key opened the other lock. Lu Xin thought that the key of the meteorite lock must be in the wooden bed, so he ignored the commemorative significance of the 18th year of the wooden bed and split the wooden bed into pieces. He searched for the key in the pile of wood three or four times, but there was no trace.
Lu Xin tried to use the perspective branch of Tianyantong to superpower. Through the hard iron birch, he saw two items in the box, a letter and a note. I guess that note was Jin Yanggong's secret.
It could be seen but couldn't take it out. Lu Xin was very depressed. Lu Xin used his true energy and swung the axe to split the wooden box. But the axe rolled up, and only a white seal appeared on the iron birch wooden box.
Lu Xin was extremely melancholy and walked outside the house, sitting on the chair under the grape trellis and sulking. He didn't know what his father was thinking, so why did he give himself a box that he couldn't open.
The golden sunset sprinkled in from the gaps between the grape leaves and shone on Lu Xin in scattered manner.
The brilliant and warm sunshine cannot drive away the haze in Lu Xin's heart. He lay decadently on the chair, closed his eyes sadly, and was very disappointed. If he could not find the secret of Jin Yanggong, he could not become the third-generation helmsman of the Lu family, and he would not become the head of the Lu family. He might be just a nouveau riche for the rest of his life and could not reach the peak of this world.
