Chapter 220 Will the Heavenly Dao Discover Her Research on the Bronze Tripod?
Zhou Lianhua thought she had heard wrongly.
"That's right, Miss Zhou Lianhua. It was Mr. Bai who recommended you. He said that you have a high level of attainment in runes, so he specially invited you to help."
The voice on the other end of the phone was serious and earnest.
Zhou Lianhua was silent for a moment.
"What kind of artifact is it?"
Zhou Lianhua finally agreed.
"Bronze."
The answer from the other end of the phone made Zhou Lianhua's heart skip a beat.
Bronze!
"Okay, I agree."
Zhou Lianhua took a deep breath and spoke in a firm tone.
"Sister, what's wrong? Who's calling?"
Zhou Chengfeng saw that Zhou Lianhua looked a little solemn after hanging up the phone, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's a call from the National Cultural Relics Bureau. They invited me to help decipher the runes on a cultural relic."
"Cultural Relics Bureau?" Zhou Chengfeng raised his head and touched her forehead. "You don't have a fever, do you? Lotus, when did you become interested in cultural relics and runes?"
"Third brother, you also know that I suddenly returned to normal, right? It's like I suddenly became enlightened and learned a lot of skills all of a sudden."
Zhou Lianhua smiled slightly and explained: "This rune is one of them. I don't know why it is like this, but since they need me, I will give it a try."
Zhou Chengfeng looked at Zhou Lianhua, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but then turned into relief.
"Lotus, you are so awesome!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but touch Zhou Lianhua's head, doting on her like a child.
"Third brother, don't treat me like a child."
Zhou Lianhua gave him a reproachful look.
"Why not? You are still my sister."
Zhou Chengfeng smiled, "However, it is a great honor to be invited by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage. Lianhua, you must seize this opportunity and make some contribution to the country."
"I will, Third Brother." Zhou Lianhua nodded seriously.
"I'll take you back to rest first." Zhou Chengfeng patted her shoulder.
"Don't bother Third Brother. I can go back by myself."
After saying that, Zhou Lianhua went back to her room.
"Master, you are finally back. I was almost suffocated to death."
The red fox jumped out of the bed and couldn't help but complain.
"I'm busy." Zhou Lianhua smiled and touched the red fox's head.
"Humph, no matter what the master says tomorrow, I will go out and play with you."
The red fox wagged its tail and said in a dissatisfied tone.
"I have to prepare well. I received a call from the Cultural Relics Bureau today, asking me to help."
"I want you to crack the bronze tripod brought back from Ningshan."
"Yeah." Zhou Lianhua nodded, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"I also need to go."
"Red Fox, you said that the bronze tripod was the centerpiece of the strange formation on Ning Mountain, used to suppress my lotus seeds. Will it..."
"Master, what are you worried about?"
The red fox jumped onto Zhou Lianhua's legs and rubbed her hand with its furry head, trying to comfort her.
"I'm worried that this bronze tripod might sense that it's me and attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao?"
Zhou Lianhua nodded, her face solemn.
"Heaven's attention? If that's the case, then we are in danger."
The red fox cried out in surprise, its hair standing on end.
"But then again, Master, don't worry too much."
The red fox calmed down and continued, "Without the magic circle, the bronze tripod is just a vessel. In the eyes of the state, it is a precious cultural relic representing ancient civilization. They will not know the connection between you and the magic circle. You just need to help them decipher the runes according to the normal procedures."
"You're right." Zhou Lianhua took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner tension, "I'll be careful."
"Besides, Master, don't you still have me? I will go with you tomorrow."
The red fox blinked his big eyes and spoke seriously.
"You know runes?"
"do not know."
"But I can help you pay attention to abnormalities around you and protect your safety."
The red fox replied, even though it couldn't decipher the runes directly.
"Okay, but I have to change your clothes tomorrow."
After that, Zhou Lianhua pulled out the video on her phone, showing dogs and cats in disguise...
There are a dizzying array of tutorials on how to dress up your pet.
But Zhou Lianhua finally wore a little skirt, a lace hat, and a colorful bow.
"This is perfect for you."
"Ugly." The red fox glanced at the video in Zhou Lianhua's hand with disdain.
"How about this, in Daji style?"
Zhou Lianhua came across another video of people dressed in ancient style.
The picture shows a fox, wearing a red dress and a pearl flower on its head, looking particularly charming.
"This is not bad."
"By the way, is the fox Daji your ancestor?"
"No, in ancient times there were three major fox clans, namely Qingqiu clan, Tushan clan, and Xuanyuanfen clan. Tushan clan had a daughter named Nvjiao who married Dayu, the founding monarch of the Xia Dynasty, and gave birth to Qi. I am a pure-blooded descendant of the Qingqiu clan, and have no direct connection with the Xuanyuanfen clan to which Daji belongs."
The red fox explained seriously, a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Oh, then I have met your ancestor, the Heart Moon Fox!"
"Ah?" The red fox was a little surprised.
"Master, have you really seen the ancient celestial fox? It is a legendary figure of our Qingqiu fox clan!"
"Alas, what a pity. Your ancestor was born at the end of the prehistoric times. As a prehistoric beast, he was extremely talented. He was fortunate to worship the saint Tongtian as his teacher and became one of the Ten Thousand Immortals of Jiejiao. He learned the purest method passed down by the saint and embarked on the right path of Xuanmen practice. As a result, Jiejiao and Chenjiao split due to the Conferred God War. Unfortunately, your ancestor Xinyuehu also fell and became a member of the Conferred God List. He was recruited by the Emperor of Heaven and served in the Heavenly Court."
"His legend has been passed down among our Qingqiu Fox Clan for countless years. After him, our Qingqiu Fox Clan gradually faded out of the world's sight, and only some legends and myths were passed down."
Seeing this, Zhou Lianhua gently stroked the red fox's head and comforted it.
If possible, it would be a kind of peace now.
She didn't tell Chihu that to practice Dafa, he would not only have to go through countless tribulations, but also have to endure endless loneliness and solitude.
Sometimes, being ordinary is also a kind of happiness.
"So, I want to practice with my master. Maybe one day, I can reach the level of my ancestors."
There was a determined light in the red fox's eyes.
"The path of cultivation is long and arduous, and it cannot be achieved in a day."
Zhou Lianhua sighed softly, "But since you are determined, I will naturally do my best to help you."
"Thank you, master!" The red fox wagged its tail happily.
The next morning.
Zhou Lianhua came to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage with a red fox dressed in the style of Daji.
The institute is located in the suburbs of Beijing and is heavily guarded.
Lotus followed the staff through the long corridor, feeling very nervous.
This Cultural Relics Bureau looks quite impressive, exactly like what is shown on TV.
The surrounding area is filled with various high-tech instruments and monitoring equipment.
Will she be discovered by Tiandao while studying the bronze tripod?
