"Monster? What is this? It seems to be a silver ball! Boy, do you know this thing?" The old man asked Jiang Xingchen while touching his chin. From Jiang Xingchen's expression, you could tell something was wrong.
Jiang Xingchen did not answer. He was now very eager to know why the mercury ball was called a monster, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the second piece of silk in the box.
"No one knows what the ball is, but the Great Shang Dynasty and some super masters of the Great Perfection were looking for it, so it was rumored among the upper nobles at that time that anyone who mastered the ball could dominate the world."
This is not the original text on silk, but it is roughly what it means. Jiang Xingchen's expression is solemn, and he took out the silk pieces and continued to read them.
There are thirty pieces of silk in total, which tells one thing. The skeleton on the bed was the home of the Qu family. At that time, the Great Shang Dynasty was not considered a big family, but it was not small. By chance, a son of the Qu family got a mercury ball. The next situation happened just like the plot in a martial arts novel. The news leaked. The Qu family was guilty of possessing a treasure and was chased by many forces, including the Great Shang Dynasty!”
"At that time, some people in the family advocated handing over the mercury ball, but the head of the family disagreed. First, they had offended many forces, and even if they were handed over to the Great Shang Dynasty, they would be retaliated by other forces. Second, they were the legend that could dominate the world, which made him reluctant to let go!"
"After discussion, the Qu family decided to split into two groups, and the main forces in the family retreated with the mercury ball, attracting masters of major forces to chase them, and then hid them in the secret underground palace, while the other part of them fled with the young children in the family, hiding their names in the future!"
"This plan was undoubtedly successful. Although the family lost a lot of people, they successfully hid in the underground palace, but what happened next completely destroyed the family."
"At that time, in order to improve his strength as soon as possible, the family decided to let the elder with the highest cultivation level use the mercury ball. But who knew that the elder's temperament changed drastically afterwards. Or was controlled by the mercury ball, and began to kill the people in the family like a madman. His cultivation level soared to a terrifying level. The entire family's 369 people were almost all killed by him. At that time, he closed the stone gate. People in the family couldn't escape even if they wanted to escape."
The last dozen pictures of silk are all describing the terrifying killing! The process is described in detail.
After reading the silk, Jiang Xingchen reached out to get the animal skin. The main thing here is that the elder was controlled by the ball, which lost his rationality and madness. The ball was not a treasure that could dominate the world, but a monster that lost his nature and could never touch it.
The records in the entire box came to an abrupt end here. Looking at this detailed record, it was obviously left by the Lord of the Qu family to the descendants who fled abroad, telling them what happened, and more importantly, reminding them not to touch the mercury ball.
"Boy, there's something wrong!" The old man frowned and whispered: "This leader of the Qu family did not write down the matter completely. What happened to the crazy elder in the end? I didn't mention it here!"
Jiang Xingchen frowned when he heard this, and he also noticed this question. What happened to the Great Elder in the end? If we look at the perspective of the fact that the Lord of the Qu family is still alive, the Great Elder should have been killed. But if this is the case, what about the mercury ball? Others may not know it, but Jiang Xingchen knew that there was no mercury ball in this underground palace at all. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to sense it.
Another possibility is that the Great Elder did not die and ran away! But how could the crazy Great Elder leave the life of the Lord of the Qu family? In addition, the gate of the underground palace was closed from the inside, and the record also mentioned that it was made by the Great Elder. The stone gate of the underground palace was not opened, where could the Great Elder leave? He had carefully explored the underground palace before, and there was no other exit at all, and there was not even a tunnel.
Jiang Xingchen was pondering, the old man was waiting. The leader who had been standing at the door of the main room felt a little creepy. The two of them entered the underground palace and went straight to the main room, obviously coming for the records here. The emperor also said that Jiang Xingchen came in just to take a look.
But why are they so familiar with the underground palace? They didn't even walk away without a single step of the abandoned road. It feels like going back to their own home. You must know that the underground palace is closed from the inside, which is too strange.
Jiang Xingchen and the old man had no time to care about what the leader thought, and the ending of the elder of the Qu family became a mystery and troubled them very much.
After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and the shadow guards all came to the back hall. Jiang Xingchen then raised his head and said, "I don't want this anymore, let's go out first!"
"Okay!" The old man nodded, moved his hands and feet, and left to walk out.
Jiang Xingchen followed the old man, thinking while walking. Now he was not thinking about the problem of the elder of the Qu family, but the mercury ball in his mind.
Although the origin of the mercury ball is not clear, he still obtained important information from the records. First of all, this thing has an extraordinary origin, and the rumors of fighting for dominance in the world are not necessarily groundless. Secondly, this thing can control people's minds and make people crazy.
The second point is the most important information. In the past, he just suspected that the mercury ball would have an impact on him. But he didn't expect that the side effects would be so great. This cast a shadow on his heart.
But then the question came out. Why did the mercury ball in his mind have been fine for many years? Is there a formation on the surface of the mercury ball? Now the two mercury balls in his mind have obtained from the treasures of the Da Shang royal family without formations.
Now, by analyzing the recorded information and the situations he encountered before, we can roughly draw this conclusion. The power of mercury balls with space will affect people's minds and are very likely to be alive. The formation must have some relationship with mercury balls. Perhaps this is the reason why I have been safe for many years.
"It seems that in the future, we will focus on finding the remains of the Shang Dynasty. They can use mercury balls to open up space. Perhaps they have a good understanding of mercury balls, or they can control mercury balls right!" When Jiang Xingchen thought of this, his mind suddenly flashed, stopped and whispered.
The old man was startled by Jiang Xingchen and grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Isn't it okay?"
The leader of the Shadow Guard, who was walking to the stone bed and preparing to pack up the silk and animal skin, was also startled and rushed over. If something unexpected happened to Jiang Xingchen here, something big would happen.
Jiang Xingchen shook his head at the old man, said I was fine, and then smiled. (To be continued.)
