Chapter 560

~7 min read 1,232 words

This thing was known by the Yellow Emperor, known by Feng Hou, and it is rumored to be written by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

But there is also a saying that the creator of Qi Men Dun Jia is actually the Queen Mother of the West!

What is the relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and King Zhou Mu? They were lovers!

King Zhou Mu learning Qi Men Dun Jia was purely taking private lessons, and the founder was the one teaching him.

Therefore, the complexity of the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box made by King Zhou Mu, who absorbed the strengths of all families, was also hell-level.

If there really is a person who can not only understand King Zhou Mu's design but also modify it.

That would mean this person's wisdom has already surpassed the sum of the Zhang family members who have inherited it for thousands of years!

If the Zhang family had such a capable person during the Northern Wei period, the box would have been opened long ago, and there would be no need to wait for the countdown to end.

And this person who modified the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box has a way of thinking that combines both ancient and modern.

That is to say, they must understand the ancient I Ching and Qi Men Dun Jia, and also be accustomed to timing in units like minutes, just like modern people.

Ancient Xia country did not have the concept of minutes.

At most, it was a quarter of an hour, a two-hour period, half a two-hour period.

A more precise one was a stick of incense, a cup of tea, which were relatively abstract!

Pure ancients would not use such precise numbers as forty thousand minutes.

Zhang Lin racked his brains and couldn't think of any such monster existing in the Grave Robbers' Chronicles world!

This also made him even more curious about what was inside the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box!

It's just a pity that he can't contact Shen Qiong, who entered the Taklamakan, otherwise he could have probed whether the Wang family's box was still there.

Zhang Lin, who had no clue, shook the stone box again.

He found that the things inside were also shaking along with it!

Novel group: 856323613

If the three numbers translated are a countdown in minutes, it means that in one month, this box will open automatically.

This is also the reason why Zhang Lin took the box away!

If it had been left with Yin Nanfeng, he wouldn't be able to control the timing.

After all, Zhang Lin doesn't want others to know what's in the box yet.

As for waiting for a month, it is indeed too agonizing!

Zhang Lin must find a way to end the countdown early or terminate the timing directly!

……

In the quiet room late at night, Zhang Lin held the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box in one hand, while countless crazily twisting red and white fine threads emerged from the palm of his other hand.

The red and white fine threads have a penetrability that ignores physical properties!

They can easily pierce human skin and any other material without leaving a trace.

If he wants to know what's inside before the countdown ends, the only thing Zhang Lin can think of is to borrow this magical creature.

As for whether the countdown can be terminated after the red and white fine threads drill in, he will only know after trying.

What's surprising is that the red and white fine threads' ability to penetrate matter also applies to the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box.

In just an instant, countless red and white fine threads submerged into the stone box.

This creature has thoughts, and Zhang Lin can also communicate with them.

In previous communication processes, the red and white fine threads showed extremely strong logical thinking ability.

This is a manifestation of intelligent creatures, and Zhang Lin also learned the secret of the sound of thunder through this!

But now, the red and white fine threads that drilled into the stone box transmitted very chaotic thoughts.

These creatures are very peculiar; sometimes they gather together, and their thinking can merge into a whole.

Only one consciousness appears to communicate with Zhang Lin, and the eye creature in his body is the same.

But occasionally chaotic situations occur, just like now.

Countless consciousnesses expressed their opinions together, like thousands of ducks quacking together, making Zhang Lin's head ache; he listened for a long time and didn't understand what these things were expressing.

Zhang Lin also understood that the structure inside the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box is probably very unique, which has a certain influence on the red and white fine threads.

To be safe, he didn't continue to try, but directly withdrew the red and white fine threads that had drilled into the stone box.

After these creatures returned to Zhang Lin's body, they finally quieted down.

A unified thought finally appeared again, and they could communicate normally.

After hearing the description of the red and white fine threads, Zhang Lin was somewhat surprised.

"What do you mean, there are your kind inside?"

He never expected that there would also be red and white fine threads inside the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box!

It's just that this is very strange; the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box cannot trap the red and white fine threads; they can come out whenever they want.

Now that they are trapped inside, it only means that this thing is in a dormant state.

Just like the eye coal essence, before it is broken and the liquid flows out, it is a normal piece of coal essence.

Even if an ordinary person picks it up, they won't think it's anything precious.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but think of the process of getting the red and white fine threads; this thing was pulled out of Yang Lusi's body.

And when Yang Lusi's ancestor Li Weisi saw the red and white fine threads, they were inside a bird's heart.

Therefore, Zhang Lin actually hadn't seen the state of this creature when it was dormant, or where it dormant!

Out of curiosity, he began to ask the red and white fine threads.

Finally, he got a vague answer: they exist in a narrow space, and in order to compete for space, the red and white fine threads will fight desperately!

Zhang Lin understood upon hearing this; the red and white fine threads in the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box should be trapped in this small space!

This natural space is very stable, and the red and white fine threads cannot come out of it on their own; they need external force to break it, just like the eye coal essence!

Thinking of this, Zhang Lin wasn't too disappointed.

The red and white fine threads are also something he urgently needs right now, because this creature is a consumable.

Its quantity will continue to decrease with use!

He was originally worried about where to replenish the red and white fine threads, and the appearance of the Dragon-Patterned Stone Box was like sending a pillow when he was sleepy.

Zhang Lin originally thought he had found out the secret inside the box.

He didn't expect that the red and white fine threads would transmit another consciousness.

After listening, Zhang Lin was somewhat shocked.

"You mean, besides your kind, there are two other things inside?"
