Chapter 466 The Mysterious Box

“How could a wooden box be impossible to open? Luo Luo, are you too weak to open it? It’s okay, I’ll help you.” Upon hearing this, Fu Feng immediately went over and took the wooden box.

The wooden box wasn't heavy, and there was no painting on the outside. It was just a simple, natural wood-colored box. To put it nicely, it was rustic; to put it bluntly, it was unadorned. It looked like it was made from a piece of wood without any processing.

It looked particularly rough in appearance, so Fufeng didn't take it seriously.

He took it and immediately started to break it apart with force.

At first, he just pried the box open a little, but found that it didn't budge and there was no sign of it being opened.

He then increased his strength considerably, but to his surprise, there was still no reaction.

Xiao Ye watched as Fu Feng fiddled with the wooden box for a long time without making a sound. He raised an eyebrow and mocked, "Fu Feng, are you even capable? You've been working on this broken wooden box for so long and still haven't opened it."

Fu Feng was embarrassed by Xiao Ye's slap in the face, so he put in even more force. However, even though his veins were bulging and his teeth were chattering from the effort, the wooden box still didn't react in his hands.

Xiao Ye shook his head and scoffed, "Looks like I'll have to do it myself. Bring it over here!"

"Go ahead and try, I don't believe you can open it. This box is very strange, I don't know what method was used to seal it so tightly, no matter how much force I use, I can't open it." Seeing Xiao Ye mocking him, Fu Feng handed him the wooden box and said disdainfully.

"If you can't do it yourself, why bother closing the box?" Xiao Ye said with disbelief.

However, even after he took it and tried to move it for a long time, the box still didn't budge.

Fu Feng snorted lightly, "What, you can't do it either?"

Just as Xiao Ye was about to speak, Nan Tu interjected, "It's so difficult to open, do you want us to help?"

Si Zheng shook her head. "This box must have been sealed with a spell. It shouldn't be able to be opened using ordinary methods."

"Incantation?"

As soon as Si Zheng spoke, the others all looked at him. "What do you mean?"

Si Zheng pointed to the murals on the wall and said, "Look at these paintings."

"With so many portraits painted here, it's clear that this secret room wasn't built by an ordinary person. And they're all looking at the same spot, as if they're looking at something."

Following Si Zheng's words, everyone looked at the eyes of the animals on the mural and focused on a high platform.

It was made of emerald green jade, but it was now completely empty.

"What are you looking at?" the group asked in unison, staring into the empty space.

The atmosphere froze for a second.

Su Luoluo coughed lightly and said, "The box was taken from there."

"So they all looked in that direction just to see a box?" Fu Feng was speechless when he heard Si Zheng say that.

“Although this box can’t be opened, it at least means that there’s something important inside,” Luan Ting pondered.

Xi Yi glanced at the murals, raised his eyes slightly, and said, "The things on these murals are none other than guardian deities."

"Guardian deity? What does it protect?" Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo had a fleeting thought, but she wasn't sure, so she asked curiously.

“This is beneath the temple, probably guarded by the gods!” Nantu chimed in.

Xi Yi shook his head. "Our Xi clan has guarded the gods for generations, and we have never heard of these statues. It shouldn't be them."

This was the first time Xi Yi had mentioned his background to them since his identity was revealed.

Although people still felt a little unreal about it, they got used to it after a while.

Unexpectedly, the Xi Clan, who rarely appeared, also showed up among them.

Hearing him say this, everyone agreed with his statement, after all, no one knew the gods better than him. Thinking of this, Fu Feng couldn't help but ask a question that had been puzzling him: "Then what happened when that fake celestial maiden touched the Celestial God Stone and a god appeared, different from Luo Luo's? Are there two gods?"

Xi Yi sneered, his gaze turning somewhat sinister, and said, "Of course not, she's fake. I just don't know what kind of evil magic she used to create a fake deity."

The god's appearance was exactly the same as the one the black bear's foster mother had described to him.

When he gets back, he must ask the black bear foster mother again if she is hiding anything.

"You've never seen a god, how do you know?" Fu Feng asked, seemingly out of nowhere.

Xi Yi coldly replied, "Just because I haven't seen a celestial being doesn't mean our Xi clan doesn't have statues of celestial beings."

“There must be something wrong with Ji Zhi. The celestial being she manifested is the same person as the celestial being that Luo Luo’s black bear foster mother mentioned.”

"Same person?"

Su Luoluo listened from the side, remembering that she had also summoned a god.

She hadn't done anything when the other person came out, and she couldn't explain it to herself. She was still thinking about how to answer if Fufeng asked.

Suddenly, Xi Yi said that the celestial being that the black bear foster mother saw was the same as the celestial being that Ji Zhi had created today.

She suddenly felt that some things were connected, but she also seemed to be missing a clue.

Things have been getting more and more chaotic lately, and she simply can't keep up.

However, the more things happen, the closer things are to the truth.

Su Luoluo stared at the box in her hand, her intuition telling her that there was definitely something unexpected inside.

She stared at the box and the mural for a few more moments, then interrupted Fufeng's question and resumed the conversation that had just ended.

"If the eight guardian deities in this mural aren't protecting celestial beings, then what are they protecting?"

If Luo Luo hadn't fallen down there today, Xi Yi wouldn't have known that there was a small secret room hidden beneath the temple.

His father and mother never told him about guardian spirits.

Xi Yi suddenly remembered the so-called guidance from the gods. Could it be that the two of them were lying to him?
He shook his head: "I don't know either, but I can go back and ask my mother, maybe she knows."

"What's that?" Xi Yi asked, his eyes inadvertently glancing at a dark corner in the distance, which was now reflecting a bright light.

"What?" Su Luoluo was taken aback by Xi Yi's words.

Seeing him look in that direction, she looked over as well, "There's nothing there."

She turned her head and glanced at it; it was still pitch black.

"I just saw something glowing. Lolo, can I borrow your luminous pearl?"

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo handed the luminous pearl in her hand to Xi Yi, who then glanced at it in the corner.

Upon seeing what was on it, he narrowed his eyes: "There really is something there."

As Xi Yi's luminous pearl shone, Su Luoluo could clearly see what Xi Yi was saying.

It was a collection of strange symbols carved on the wall.

The spot where she had just been standing was directly opposite it, so a little light brushed against it and refracted onto Xi Yi.

When she turned around, the luminous pearl was backlit, so she saw nothing.
