Zeng Zhi briefly told the two girls about the reason, then picked up the needle box and wiped the water stains on the surface with a tissue.

When looking at this needle box again, Zeng Zhi discovered an unusual change: the rosewood box now does not seem to be made of a whole piece of wood. At one end of the long box, there seemed to be a wooden strip to seal the gap. It was originally old and looked integrated. Now, when soaked in alcohol, the dirt on the surface is removed and the fine seams are exposed.

Is there anything in it?

Zeng Zhi immediately became interested. In ancient times, people often liked to do things that others expected to keep some secrets, or did there be any secrets hidden in the red sandalwood needle box? It is said that the Zeng family was a big family in the past, but there are not many valuable things left over to now. Could it be that the ancestors hid those treasures? There was a treasure map in the red sandalwood needle box?

When Zeng Zhi thought of this, he felt a little excited, so he went to the kitchen to find some tools and wanted to pry off the sealed wooden strips.

The red sandalwood is very strong, and Zeng Zhi didn't want to break the needle box. After all, it might be that the treasure map of his dream was hidden in it. Therefore, it took a long time to take down the sealed wooden strips.

Sure enough, Zeng Zhi found that the lid was hollow and there seemed to be something inside. When he took it out, he found that it was a piece of yellow silk.

Wow, it’s really a treasure map! Zeng Zhi was a little excited.

However, when he opened the silk, Zeng Zhi knew that he had really thought too much just now. This was not a treasure map at all, because it had nothing to do with the map.

However, the next moment, hope ignited in Zeng Zhi's heart again, because the silk was covered with dense small fly-headed calligraphy, which seemed to record something important.

Could it be that these words describe the treasure?

So Zeng Zhi looked at these words seriously, and then he was disappointed again. He found that what was recorded on it was not the location, but some songs, which seemed to be a specific method of using acupuncture. It reads catchy and concise, which shows the writer's writing skills and his skill in acupuncture.

Dong Yue and Yuan Ling didn't know that in this short moment, many thoughts flashed in Zeng Zhi's mind. Both of them felt a little curious when they saw Zeng Zhi fiddling with things, especially when Zeng Zhi took out a piece of silk that looked very long from the wood interlayer of the needle box, their interest became even stronger. They asked in unison: "Brother Zeng Zhi, what's going on? Why is there hollow inside the wood?"

Zeng Zhi carefully observed the empty space of the needle box and found that in addition to this piece of silk, there was also a golden needle in it. Although he didn't know how long it had been stored in it, it was still as bright as a newly made one.

He checked another piece of wood in the needle box and found another secret hole, which also contained a piece of silk. This is a picture, but it is still not a treasure map, but a picture of the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body.

The discovery of acupuncture, mantra, and human meridian acupoints made Zeng Zhi feel a little amused. What is the use of this thing? When his second uncle was alive, although he learned some simple medical skills with him, acupuncture was not included. In other words, he did not understand acupuncture at all.

However, Zeng Zhi also knew that these things must have been passed down by his ancestors, because he remembered that his second uncle once told him that their family had never been in office during the Qing Dynasty, so he turned to practice medicine and produced many famous doctors. However, when the Qing Dynasty was overthrown and established in the Republic of China, the family began to become officials again, and the development was pretty good.

However, there are prosperity and decline. The Zeng family began to make a name for themselves in their careers, but their medical skills were gradually declining. After the founding of New China, the only one who was still practicing medicine in the entire family was the second uncle.

Zeng Zhi ignored Dong Yue and Yuan Ling standing beside him, but carefully packed these things and sealed the wooden strips again. Although these things are of no use to him now, they were handed down by his ancestors and must be protected.

After doing this, Zeng Zhicai said to the two girls: "I think I probably discovered something very important."

Although he was unable to confirm the authenticity of the newly discovered pictures and formulas, they could be hidden in wood for hundreds of years, and these graphic texts are also of great origin. Zeng Zhi was very excited to discover something important from it.

Zeng Zhi thought, it would be great if he had discovered this thing last year. His second uncle was still alive at that time. He knew more about the family's history of medical practice than Zeng Zhi, and he must have known something.

"Perhaps, there are records of these items in the medical books collected by my second uncle?" Zeng Zhiru thought.

So Zeng Zhi hurriedly packed the needle box and the things inside, and ran into Dong Yue's room next to him.

Dong Yue was stunned and asked, "Brother Zeng Zhi, why are you doing in my room?"

Zeng Zhi patted his forehead and then remembered that the room had been rented to Dong Yue. He ran inside without asking, which was really unfair.

"That... Dong Yue, I'll go to the two bookcases in your room to find something to see if there are any records about this red sandalwood needle box." Zeng Zhi explained embarrassedly.

……………………

When he arrived at the room, Zeng Zhi quickly flipped through the bookcase. Because he had never read the books here before, he could only read them one by one.

The girl Yuan Ling said to Dong Yue next to him: "Xiao Yue, I'll just say that these books were bought and prepared by him..."

Zeng Zhi's face turned dark when he heard this, and said, "What are you saying? This is not my book, but my second uncle's. My own book is in my study."

"Ah?" Yuan Ling covered her mouth and said embarrassedly, "That's right, sorry, Brother Zeng Zhi, I misunderstood you."

Zeng Zhi was too lazy to pay attention to this girl and was flipping through the book on his own.

Zeng Zhi was very fast to read books. He is now a cultivator at the third level of Qi training, and his eyesight is extraordinary. Even if he looked at it at a glance, he could still see all the contents.
