Chapter 176 Willow and Box
"this……"
Chen Feng had a clear look of shock and panic on his face. It was obvious that the box was shaking beyond his expectations.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Su Chen was also confused. Is there any other name for this box?
"Do you have something special?"
Chen Feng looked at Su Chen, but Su Chen shook his head. There were Xiangxiang and Dabai in his shop. Xiangxiang was a ghost, but the sword-maker had never dealt with ghosts. As for the strange beast Dabai, the strange beast refers to some of his special talents, but it is still an animal in essence.
"That's strange, wait a moment."
Chen Feng put his hand on the box and rubbed it for a while before the box finally returned to peace.
"No problem, you can go in."
Su Chen took the lead in, while Chen Feng followed behind, but after entering the store, Chen Feng's gaze changed.
"This is?"
Chen Feng's eyes fell on the willow saplings placed on the counter. The moment he saw the willow saplings, his eyes showed a look of awe. He finally knew why his box was shaking.
Chen Feng's gaze and expression changed and could not escape Su Chen's attention. Su Chen looked at the willow saplings and then looked at Chen Feng, not understanding why Chen Feng showed such an expression to the willow saplings.
Even if Chen Feng saw that the willow sapling was not simple, it was just a sapling. Even if it had been cultivated into a monster in his previous life, it was still very weak now.
"Brother Su, where did you get this?"
Chen Feng signaled to Su Chen with his eyes, and Su Chen did not hide it from it and replied truthfully: "The mother tree of the willow sapling was struck by thunder. It should be because of the failure of the tribulation. This sapling is the hope left by the mother tree. The mother tree entrusted me to help it take care of the sapling."
"Will it fail to survive the tribulation?"
After hearing Su Chen's answer, Chen Feng muttered in a low voice. When Su Chen heard Chen Feng's words, he frowned and asked, "What does Brother Chen mean?"
"Brother Su, let me tell you, this willow sapling is very evil, and I won't hide it from you. My box has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has a history of almost a thousand years to my generation. It can be said to be a magic weapon, but the emotion conveyed to me just now is that it is afraid of this willow tree."
"You are afraid of this willow tree in this box?"
Su Chen's eyes fell on the willow sapling again. It seemed that he had underestimated the willow sapling. There were secrets he didn't know about this willow sapling.
"God, the guest is here."
Qin Yanxi, who was upstairs, heard the movement and walked to the stairs at this moment. Chen Feng glanced at Qin Yanxi and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Well, a friend is here, Chen Feng and Brother Chen, who is a knife credit man."
Hearing Su Chen's introduction, Qin Yanxi showed curiosity on her face. The Book of Saving People did not mention the major forces and industries in the metaphysics community, but she had heard of the knife-maker, because she had also experienced it when she was a child.
At that time, a knife seller came to my family. The knife seller sold sickles. He told his neighbors that when the house price rose to more than 100,000 yuan, he would come to collect the money again.
At that time, the housing prices in Beijing were only over tens of thousands, and many people did not believe that they would rise so high.
"Brother Chen, are you guys who sell knives really good at predicting?"
Qin Yanxi was very curious, but after hearing Qin Yanxi's words, Chen Feng shook his head, "We don't predict, those are just inferred because they have seen more and more knowledge."
"Brother Chen, since you can't predict, how did your father make such an agreement?"
Su Chen interrupted, if he didn't believe Chen Feng's father's agreement, if it weren't for inferring it, he wouldn't believe it, because who would make such a promise? It would be as unreliable as saying that one day the sun rises from the West.
"That's because of this box."
Chen Feng did not hide it, explained the situation to Su Chen and Qin Yanxi, and unveiled the mystery of the knife-maker.
For Chen Feng, it was actually a helpless move for their family to become a family of knives. All of this started with their ancestors.
The ancestors of the Chen family lived in a small mountain village, which was very closed, but they also avoided the disaster of war. However, one year, the drought was severe, and the village had no harvest, the river at the entrance of the village dried up, and the animals on the mountain were sunburned to death.
Many villagers were starved to death, and the ancestors of the Chen family could not stand it anymore. As a result, an old man came to the village. The old man was also a knife credit man. He credited a lot of food for the ancestors of the Chen family. The promise was that if one day the river flowed back, the ancestors of the Chen family would follow him.
The ancestors of the Chen family agreed and survived for a month with the water and food left by the old man. A month later, heavy rain fell, and the drought was over. The ancestors of the Chen family did not take the old man's words to heart.
However, half a year later, an earthquake suddenly appeared in the mountains, which caused the original terrain of the river to change and the river flowed backwards.
The river flowed backwards, and the old man appeared in the small mountain village again. The ancestors of the Chen family also kept their promises and followed the old man away from the mountain village, inherited the old man's mansion, and became a knife-maker.
After waiting for the old man to die, the ancestors of the Chen family inherited the old man's two boxes before they realized that it was a curse for the person who credited the knife.
People who make knives have been trading with others all their lives, but the bargaining chips in the transaction are not their final decisions, but come from that box.
"My father would make such an agreement with Luo Zhijie because the box gave me instructions at that time. Every time the agreement was completed, my father could get benefits from the box. This box is not allowed to be opened on weekdays. I can only open it when it actively communicates with me."
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Su Chen and Qin Yanxi both turned their eyes to the box. Is this box so strange?
"Brother Su, when I first met you, I actually wanted to make a deal for you. This is the message passed to me by the box, but we, the knife credit man, have rules, and the other party must speak first."
Chen Feng's words made Su Chen ashamed. He didn't expect Chen Feng to be eyeing him.
"Brother Chen means that this box wants you to make a deal with me?"
"Um."
“It’s a pity that I don’t want to trade.”
Su Chen smiled, but Chen Feng's expression became serious, "Brother Su, I don't know if I want to tell you. I'm afraid that if you tell you, you won't say that."
"What do you tell me? Brother Chen may as well say it directly."
When Su Chen heard Chen Feng's words, he was curious.
Chen Feng looked at Su Chen with a serious expression, "The box gave me the instructions that I can trade any of your requests with you."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then half-jokingly said, "Any request? If I ask you to kill Zhang Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion, can you accept this request?"
"Can."
Su Chen:...
Looking at Chen Feng's serious expression, Su Chen was sure that Chen Feng was not joking, which made his expression become serious, and continued to ask: "Can you do this?"
"My strength is definitely not as good as that of Zhang Tianshishi of the Tianshi Mansion, but as long as the box agrees, there will be a way to do it. But the higher the conditions are, the greater the price you need to pay."
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Su Chen finally knew why Chen Feng said he didn't want to tell him anymore. This temptation was too great.
Any requirement and no restrictions, who can refuse such conditions?
Even if I don’t have anything I want to do now but cannot do it, as long as this seed is planted in my heart, it will sooner or later take root and sprout.
“It’s really hard to refuse.”
After a while, Su Chen said this, and his eyes looked at the box as if he was looking at a demon.
The devil relies on seducing people and then step by step into the circle he designed.
Just as Su Chen and Chen Feng were talking about these, the willow saplings placed on the counter suddenly changed. One of the only two buds of the willow saplings suddenly expanded and turned into a willow branch, whipping directly towards the box.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, when the willow branches were about to fall, light burst out from the whole box, forming an aperture to protect itself in the middle. The willow branches were pulled on the aperture, directly deforming the aperture, but it failed to destroy the aperture.
Su Chen turned around and looked at the willow saplings, but found that the roots under the saplings were smaller and continued to grow smaller.
When the roots of the tree fell three times at once, the willow branches fell down again. This time, the aperture was directly removed, but the box also changed, and it opened a gap by itself, and the willow branches directly drilled into the gap.
The box closed again and kept shaking, which was a competition with Willow Branch. Su Chen, Qin Yanxi and Chen Feng were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.
"squeak!"
Dabai, who was originally on the second floor, was lying at the entrance of the stairs and saw the willow branches and boxes below. The guy's eyes showed a look of fear. He rushed to the balcony without thinking about it, and then disappeared like a cigarette.
None of Su Chen and the other two were present spoken, just watching the scene in front of them. But three seconds later, the box opened again and the willow branches retreated.
Bang!
The willow branches left the box and closed in an instant, but the willow branches did not return to their original state, but instead shone brightly in the air. The next moment, a green bark slowly fell from the air.
Su Chen subconsciously reached out to take the bark, and a line of words appeared on the bark. Seeing this line of words, Su Chen's expression became extremely strange.
"God, what's wrong?"
