Chapter Six: Treasures Unveil Extraordinary Scenes
Next, Tai Shici placed three boxes in succession under an ancient tree. The tree has three trunks, which all lean on a single root, standing between heaven and earth. The three trunks twist and turn, forming a natural space that spans an area of twenty square meters. A natural tree house.
The golden-haired monkey "Zhi Zhi" is calling out, yet refuses to take action. It seems as if there are some monsters or demons hidden within the box
Being tugged by the golden-haired monkey, Tai Shici felt a sharp pain at the roots of his hair. He endured the discomfort and leaned forward to look into the third box. Inside, porcelain vases were neatly arranged, totaling five colors: blue, red, white, black, and yellow. Tai Shici casually picked up a blue porcelain vase, removed the wooden stopper, and a faint medicinal aroma wafted towards him.
At this moment, the magnificent and extraordinary scene brought about by the opening of the four boxes had completely vanished, and the world returned to its original state. The wind remained as gentle as ever, and the sunlight continued to be as warm as before
Tai Shici placed the golden box on the ground and casually took out a piece of animal skin from it. The brown animal skin was soft and glossy, and aside from the orderly arranged pinhole-sized holes, there was nothing unusual about it
Tai Shici carried the golden-haired monkey and walked into the fourth box. He reached out to fiddle with the copper lock of the iron general's door. Seeing that Tai Shici was powerless and at a loss, the golden-haired monkey suppressed the inexplicable fear that arose from the depths of its soul, and with a snap of its fingers, it unlocked the copper lock. After that, it quickly hid in the disheveled black hair of Tai Shici
The golden-haired monkey placed the box in front of Taishi Ci, who then opened the lid to reveal a box full of mountain fruits such as apples, snow pears, and hawthorns in his line of sight
What is in the fourth box? The doubt in Taishi Ci's heart gradually intensified. He raised his hand and patted the golden-haired monkey behind him, saying: "Jin'er, do not be afraid, I am here... Jin'er, please open the copper lock on the last box!"
Tai Shici knew that the Golden-Haired Monkey was afraid of the bronze box inscribed with thunder and lightning. In order to allow the Golden-Haired Monkey to focus solely on opening the pure gold box, Tai Shici carried the Golden-Haired Monkey on his back and stepped aside while holding the golden box.
When Taishi Ci forcefully pulled out the golden-haired monkey from his pants, the monkey's entire body had shrunk to the size of a fist... Hehe, is this still the miraculous, invincible, all-powerful golden-haired monkey? ... Taishi Ci grinned, suppressing the pain coming from his lower back.
The golden-haired monkey spread its hands and slowly opened its eyes. The magnificent sky illuminated the world like a fairyland, and the intense visual impact significantly diminished the monkey's fear
Tai Shici gently pried open the golden-haired monkey's hands that were covering its eyes and said with a light laugh: "Jin'er, do not be afraid, quickly open your eyes and look at the rainbow..."
The surface of the third box was intricately engraved with patterns of wind and clouds, quietly presenting itself before Tai Shici's gaze. Holding his breath, Tai Shici maintained a calm demeanor as he reached out to open the lid of the box. There was no radiant color within the box. However, as the lid fully opened, a fierce wind surged between heaven and earth, and the previously clear sky was suddenly filled with rolling dark clouds
Tai Shici bit his lip, extended his hand to grasp the copper ring on the box lid, and slowly lifted it open. A beam of golden light shot out from the gap of the lid, arcing upward straight into the sky. As the golden light vanished from the heavens, rolling thunder echoed through the sky. Although the previous rainbow still lingered, the sky was suddenly filled with flashes of lightning.
The ignorant are fearless; having already witnessed three extraordinary sights, what else is there to fear? Even if a devil were to appear, it would be fitting and logical. To halt out of fear is not the way of the unrestrained Taishi Ci
The astute Tai Shici held the animal skin up to the sunlight, casting a clear outline of brush strokes on the ground. These characters matched those on the gold ingots in the first box, all of which were incomprehensible to Tai Shici
Tai Shici casually placed the golden-haired monkey on his shoulder and leaned forward to look into the box. Inside the box, there was only a smaller box, nothing else.
The wind and rain came suddenly and retreated just as quickly. As the wind ceased and the rain stopped, the dark clouds rolled away, revealing a rainbow stretching across the sky. Gazing at the colorful rainbow, Taishi Ci's tumultuous heart finally found some peace. Gathering his mixed emotions, he said to the golden-haired monkey in his trousers, "Jin'er, come out and see the rainbow..."
Tai Shici looked around and discovered that one box was missing, specifically the one containing armor and weapons. At the same time, the golden-haired monkey had also disappeared.
In a short span of time, so many incomprehensible events occurred that Tai Shici's nerves were already in a state of excitement. Without considering the consequences, he held the golden box in one hand and opened it with the other. As a result, Tai Shici was greatly disappointed; the golden box did not emit or project any colors, nor did it contain any precious items, only a stack of animal skins.
The golden-haired monkey "Zhi Zhi" squeaked as it suddenly emerged from Tai Shici's trousers, swiftly climbing up his back and burrowing into his thick, flowing hair. Hidden within Tai Shici's hair, the golden-haired monkey finally dared to poke its head out and survey its surroundings.
At this moment, the golden-haired monkey, emboldened, approached the armor and weapons laid on the ground, occasionally reaching out with its monkey hand to fiddle with them. Meanwhile, Tai Shici released the courage he had been gathering towards the third box.
Life | Root | The burden on the body of an ordinary person, Tai Shici has suffered greatly. That kind of pain is truly heart-wrenching.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with the wild dance of golden serpents, and the thunder roared deafeningly! In the face of the magnificent lightning, Tai Shici was merely astonished, while the golden-haired monkey trembled all over like a sieve, darting wherever it could find darkness. As a result, it ended up burrowing into Tai Shici's trousers. ... Due to intense fear, the golden-haired monkey clung tightly to Tai Shici's vital parts, and in a moment of distraction, it began to swing from Tai Shici's vital parts like a swing ...
The recent period of mental strain has left Tai Shici feeling fatigued and hungry. The mental exhaustion is more tiring than a day of travel. Just as Tai Shici was feeling ravenous, the golden-haired monkey returned, holding a bronze box with one hand.
For all the items, in a mysterious way, Tai Shici felt that the animal skins were very important to him. Unfortunately, he could not understand the characters on the animal skins. After careful sorting, Tai Shici discovered a total of 18 animal skins, each the size of two adult faces.
Oh, Jin'er, don't grab anymore..." Tai Shici did not have time to admire the wondrous sight; he bent down to try to pull the golden-haired monkey out from his pants. Unfortunately, although the thunder and lightning had disappeared, the golden-haired monkey remained engulfed in fear.
One can feel the intensity of the wind, while the sea remains unchanged, and the forest retains its previous posture
The small box is crafted from pure gold, adorned with wave-like patterns all around. Tai Shici respectfully presented it to the librarian, while at that moment, the golden-haired monkey was still captivated by the magnificent spectacle in the sky. ... Of course, this splendid spectacle was gradually fading away ...
Tai Shici carefully placed the blue porcelain vase back in its original position. Then, he looked at the last box. The box was engraved all over with patterns of lightning. It seemed as if a golden-haired monkey, born with a fear of thunder and lightning, did not dare to approach it even a step.
The blue porcelain vase is only the size of a palm, weighing approximately half a pound. The vase is warm and smooth to the touch, with a sleek surface, entirely uniform in color, and completely flawless
Using his knee to think, Taishi Ci also knew that the box must have been taken away by the golden-haired monkey. As for the reason, he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.
At this moment, Tai Shici was like a piece of bark covering his private parts, nearly completely naked
This time, without waiting for Taishi Ci to plead, the golden-haired monkey effortlessly opened the golden lock of the golden box. Subsequently, the golden-haired monkey left Taishi Ci's body and ran to the side, fearing that the box contained explosives
Amidst the astonishment of Taishi Ci and the Golden-Haired Monkey, without any forewarning of thunder and lightning, a torrential rain began to pour down. ... Raindrops the size of beans fell into the sea and onto the trees, yet none fell around Taishi Ci ... . ... Even so, the Golden-Haired Monkey had already fearfully burrowed into Taishi Ci's trousers.
Fortunately, after a bout of thunder and lightning, the sky is adorned with myriad colors, radiant hues, and accompanied by a rainbow spanning the horizon, boldly displaying...
