Chapter 325 Guardian

Cheng Jiao pushed open the door of the hall where the bronze treasure box might be.

He had already checked and found that there were no royal guards or the like here.

It was quiet, and weird at the same time.

Cheng Jiao saw a bronze box quietly placed on the sandalwood table at the end of the hall.

He could confirm that this box was exactly the same as the bronze treasure box he had obtained from his uncle Wang Weiyangjun in Xianyang.

As soon as his soul and mental power approached the bronze box, it was sucked into the bronze treasure box.

Cheng Jiao did not go forward directly.

Regardless of whether the royal families of various countries care about or are interested in the secrets of the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon, it is unlikely that they will be easily taken away.

Not to mention it's like this, with no one watching.

But what puzzled Cheng Jiao was that with his soul power comparable to that of a celestial being, he simply could not detect the presence of anyone.

Is there some kind of mechanism set up here?

Cheng Jiao walked forward a few steps cautiously. Based on what he had learned from Old Man Ban, the layout of the hall here did not show any traces of mechanical devices.

But it does not rule out that the people who created the mechanisms had such high levels of engineering skills that they became one with the environment.

Such a master of mechanical engineering is no worse than that of Old Man Ban and the Six-Fingered Black Knight. If he is not careful, he will not be injured, but he will definitely be exposed.

If the bronze treasure box related to the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon was not too important, he would not have investigated it personally.

After all, it is not difficult to find a bronze box in the King of Han’s Palace, which is controlled by Madam Mingzhu.

It was only a short distance of twenty-three meters, but it took Cheng Jiao half a cup of tea to walk.

Even when he walked to the sandalwood table where the bronze treasure box was placed, Cheng Jiao still found it hard to believe it.

Has the Korean royal family fallen to this point?
Apart from anything else, Han Fei, who possessed the Ni Lin Sword, could not have been unaware that this world possessed some special powers, and he would have looked for the bronze treasure box related to the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon kept by the Han royal family.

unless……

Han Fei searched for it and found it, but he didn't have the opportunity to study it.

My brother-in-law rarely speaks the truth, so I must torture him if I get the chance.

Cheng Jiao gently picked up the bronze treasure box, and nothing happened. It seemed as if it was waiting for him to come over.

However, before Cheng Jiao could turn around.

A weak voice that could not be concealed suddenly sounded like a ghost.

"Little boy, it's not good to touch things. Ahem..."

Cheng Jiao's sharp eyes immediately looked towards the person hiding in a corner.

I didn't expect that with his strength, he didn't even notice it.

This person's strength has at least reached the Heavenly Man Realm, and is no worse than Bai Luan.

"who are you?"

Cheng Jiao did not put down the bronze box.

Staring at the old man sitting cross-legged in the corner, like a dead statue, with his eyes closed.

So what if he is a celestial being? If he wants to leave, no one can stop him.

"Who am I? It's been so long, I can't remember."

Cheng Jiao frowned slightly.

Ever since he discovered the old man, he has been staring at the old man closely without opening his mouth. It seems that he has used a technique similar to the Taoist sound of nature. The sound comes out of thin air, very much like the legendary soul transmission.

"Are you going to stop me from taking this?"

The old man, who looked like a dead tree, slowly opened his wrinkled eyelids. His cloudy gray-yellow pupils made Cheng Jiao's heart tremble slightly.

This is not a mental attack, but a pure display of time. Anyone who sees it will feel a sense of vicissitudes.

"This box has been here for eighty-five years. It was lost once, but after six years, it is back here. Do you know why?"

The old man remained motionless. This time he did not use the telepathic method he used before, but opened his mouth.

That kind of hoarseness, like a leaky balloon, is extremely uncomfortable to listen to.

"I happen to know something about the seven bronze treasure boxes of the Azure Dragon. They will somehow flow to the seven places with the strongest luck in the world, corresponding to the seven countries today."

The old man seemed to want to smile, but his face was almost without flesh and blood, and more dull than a century-old tree. He just moved and then returned to calm.

"Yes, time flies. It's not even forty years yet and someone else will come here again."

Cheng Jiao remained alert and asked, "Who came last time?"

He had used his soul perception to investigate the old man in front of him many times.

He is almost at the end of his life and it is foreseeable that he will not live to see the day when Zheng Ge is crowned.

No wonder I didn’t notice this guy. If he wasn’t at such a high level, he would have been dead long ago.

The turbidity in the old man's eyes seemed to have faded a lot since he opened them.

"He called himself Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School. He was a very powerful person. The old man fought with him but failed to stop him. He spent several years meditating on him."

Cheng Jiao's heart moved. He didn't expect it would be Donghuang Taiyi.

“Senior, are you from the Han royal family?”

The old man seemed to have heard Cheng Jiao's test.

"Of course, if not, how can we keep this box?"

Cheng Jiao was not in a hurry to leave at this time.

He walked slowly to the old man who was still sitting cross-legged like a dead wood sculpture, and placed the bronze box between the two of them.

Perhaps the old man in front of him was the longest-lived person he had ever seen.

Considering his identity and strength, he probably knows a lot of secrets.

The most important thing is that the old man, who is at the end of his life, cannot pose any threat to him.

"Senior, what should I call you?"

The old man slowly closed his eyes again, as if opening his eyes would shorten his life.

"Just call me Old Han. I know you. You are Cheng Jiao, the peculiar person mentioned by Han Fei. It is rare for him to call you peculiar. Now that I see you, the peculiar that Han Fei mentioned is probably your strength. Your whole body is full of spiritual power, much more than the ordinary celestial beings who have opened the bridge between heaven and earth. You are very lucky."

Cheng Jiao began to murmur in his heart.

This brother-in-law never mentioned anything about this old man.

No wonder in the original novel, Han Fei was so confident, committing suicide and roaming around everywhere, and even King Han An intended to let Han Fei take over.

This old man seems to be in a dying state, but that is considering a man who is full of spiritual power and whose strength is no less than that of a celestial being.

But if he were to face off against Xue Yi Hou and Ji Wuye, as long as he was willing, he would definitely be able to kill these two guys before he died.

However, judging from the fact that the old man's speech is becoming more and more fluent, he may still have a lot of spiritual power retained in his body.

"Haha, Mr. Han, could you tell me something about the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon?"

Compared to whether Donghuang Taiyi is a man or a woman, or what his strength is, he is more concerned about the ultimate power of this world.

Old Han was silent for a while. "I don't know much. The Blue Dragon is too mysterious. The only thing I know is that it seems to be related to the legendary Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and may even be related to the mythical Lady of the Nine Heavens."

Cheng Jiao was a little disappointed.

"So, why did Donghuang Taiyi take the bronze treasure box back then?"
