I discovered a world bug.

Lin Shu's hands were trembling—the contents of the box were truly terrifying at first glance.

A whole chest full of gold!

If it were truly full, wouldn't it be worth tens of millions?

But that's not right either.

When I was carrying it, I didn't feel that it was that heavy. If it were a full box of gold bars, it would probably weigh several tens of kilograms.

Lin Shu tentatively picked up a piece, and then discovered that although it looked like a gold bar, it was actually just a thin slice.

----Oh, investing in gold.

His wildly beating heart calmed down instantly, but after sorting through the box, he discovered that there was actually quite a bit of gold inside.

There are a total of 20 gold pieces sealed in a plastic box, each weighing 10 grams, for a total of 200 grams.

Based on the current gold price, that's exactly 20.

Besides the gold bars, there were some other odds and ends in the suitcase, the most eye-catching of which were several pieces of lightning-struck wood.

The lightning-struck wood, cut into cubes, has dense lightning-struck forked patterns. It feels heavy in the hand and has a subtle "metallic texture" that is different from ordinary wood.

This looks like.....

Agarwood?

Lightning-struck agarwood... its scarcity is probably no less than that of gold.

However, considering Xu Changshun's identity, these pieces of wood were most likely not intended for "cash-out," but rather for use in certain rituals.

Besides gold bars and lightning-struck wood, the box also contained a small amount of Phoebe zhennan wood, a small amount of high-quality cinnabar, two pieces of polished tortoise shell, and a pair of ox horns.

But those two horns looked suspicious no matter how you looked at them—they didn't resemble buffalo horns, but rather...

Rhinoceros horn.

Holy crap.

Don't mess with me!

You dare deposit something like that in a bank?!

If the authorities find out, wouldn't he be locked up for ten or eight years?

----That doesn't seem right either.

The authorities only prohibit the buying and selling of rhinoceros horns, not their possession. If Xu Changshun possessed the rhinoceros horns before the ban was issued, then it should be legal.

But what is this thing supposed to be used for?

Lin Shu took out everything one by one. The last item was a bundle of incense sticks in a slender glass bottle.

So what are these things used for?

Lin Shu was completely confused and could only put it aside for the time being.

After a slight hesitation, he called Xu Feng and explained the matter concerning the gold.

Although Xu Feng said he didn't want what Xu Changshun left him, gold is different from anything else; it is property, and a considerable amount of property at that.

Even if it falls into my hands, I must ask them first before I can dispose of it.

But Xu Feng's answer was surprisingly nonchalant.

"Since it's in the safe, it's for you."

"Keep it for yourself. You can sell it now while the price is high, and the cash will last you for a while..."

"Should I take it?"

Although this answer was not unexpected for Lin Shu, he still dared not agree too soon.

"I can keep the rest, but the gold... you can have it, after all..."

"No need to say so much."

Xu Feng interrupted Lin Shu.

"Cultivation requires resources, companions, methods, and environment; being a master is actually the same."

"A master should not be poor, for extreme poverty breeds evil."

"I'll do as my dad says. That's all, bye."

As if afraid that Lin Shu would refuse again, Xu Feng hung up the phone directly, leaving Lin Shu alone in the room in a daze.

200 grams of gold... 20!

Did I suddenly become rich out of nowhere?

But this money cannot be touched for the time being. As Xu Feng said, when it comes to wealth, companions, laws, and location, wealth is always the most important.

A large amount of money will be needed in the subsequent exploration of the ritual, and the funds here can solve the most difficult problem of "getting started".

Master Xu...

You really did foresee everything.

So, are there things you didn't leave information about that you don't even know about?

Lin Shu put down her phone, turned on her computer, and prepared to conduct her second divination.

Before that, however, he needed to refer to the methods of "improving yarrow stalk divination" left by Xu Changshun in his records and try to make some optimizations to the yarrow stalk divination method.

After all, the information seen in the divination before was far too vague.

If the scenario didn't happen to be the right one, it would be impossible to foresee the risks in advance or avoid them.

Such divination is clearly meaningless...

Lin Shu opened the document about divination using yarrow stalks and tortoise shells, and read through it line by line.

He discovered that, according to Xu Changshun's deduction, the accuracy of divination using yarrow stalks and tortoise shells—or rather, the accuracy of all rituals—may be mainly related to a few conditions.

Place, law, time, language.

That is, environment, ritual, timing, and language.

In the ritual of divination using yarrow stalks and tortoise shells, Xu Changshun knew nothing about the required environment or timing; he only reconstructed the ritual and language, and even that was incomplete.

To further develop this concept, we need to supplement the other two parts and strengthen the aspects of "ritual" and "language".

In summary, Xu Changshun considered adding two additional conditions to the yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divination ritual.

Firstly, during the ceremony, rhinoceros horn incense is burned—the same bottle that was kept in the safe.

Secondly, before "burning the armor", a new set of "life turtle" hand seals was added.

Lin Shu practiced the hand gestures repeatedly, referring to the ones Xu Changshun had written in the document. Once she was familiar with them, she finally landed them on the tortoise shell in the briefcase.

All the materials are ready.

It's time to begin the second round of divination.

By this time, it was 8 p.m., and the sky had completely darkened.

Lin Shu drew the curtains and prepared the iron pot.

This time, there's no need to kill the turtle for its shell.

He lit the rhinoceros horn incense, placed the tortoise shell flat on the ground, pointed his hand at the tortoise shell, silently recited the matter he wanted to divine, and began the "divination of the tortoise."

A moment later, the tortoise's life was complete.

He lit the yarrow stalks and placed the tortoise shell on top of them.

"The yarrow stalks possess spiritual power, the tortoise shells reveal omens; I now offer my sincere prayers, may the signs foretell good or bad fortune..."

Lin Shu muttered to herself, following the familiar procedure.

That familiar feeling of "detachment" welled up in my heart once again.

When the feeling of detachment reaches its peak, it feels like it happens in an instant...

"predict!"

With a soft sound, the tortoise shell cracked.

The next second, Lin Shu fell into that dark space once again...

.....

The image reappeared.

This time, the scene Lin Shu saw was much more detailed than the last time!

The figures are no longer abstract, like murals. Although the images are still hazy, blurry, or even black and white, he can clearly see the location they point to by their outlines!

It was a street—a street I knew very well, a street I passed by every day.

Binjiang Road Pedestrian Street.

I pass through there every day on my way to work.

And in the picture, there is indeed a small figure that seems to represent himself, crossing the pedestrian street.

It seemed to be an evening, and the vendors on the pedestrian street had already turned on their lights.

He was holding a phone in his left hand and something heavy in his right, but he couldn't tell what it was.

And just as we were about to leave the pedestrian street, and even when we could see the huge GG sign across the street...

A man brushed past me.

Then, in the video, he appears to be dizzy and collapses as if he has been poisoned. The surrounding vendors and tourists initially scatter in fear, but then swarm around him, trying to provide first aid.

But it was too late.

In just a few seconds, his pupils dilated and he died on the street!

In the last moment before the image completely blurred, Lin Shu clearly saw the time displayed on the huge GG sign.

It was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

4 month 19 day.

That is...

Two days later!!
