When I gently inserted the key into the lock and turned it gently inside, it seemed as if an unusual force broke the solidified silence, as if awakening a sleeping soul. At that time, I was waiting in front of an iron box with my friends Song Zihan and Song Zian, our hearts were full of expectation and anxiety. With the last crisp "click" sound, the chain quietly slipped off, and the lid of the iron box slowly opened, and our mood became more nervous and excited. With a slight vibration of the eardrum, an indescribable breath suddenly surged from the stale air in the iron box. My ears were filled with noise and chaos, as if the curtain of history was being unveiled bit by bit. I leaned forward and stared at the inside of the box, my curiosity growing stronger and stronger. However, unexpectedly, in addition to the ancient and dim box, it was not filled with gold and silver treasures as I imagined, but was filled with some seemingly ordinary items: a thick family tree, some yellowed letters and an ancient jade pendant. I carefully pulled out the heavy black family tree and held it firmly in my hand. The heaviness of the family tree flashed through my mind. Every word on the family tree may be a witness to history, and perhaps it also carries some traces of experience and times. Awe arose spontaneously, and I began to carefully flip through it. It recorded in detail the life stories of the ancestors of the Song family. Each name represents a piece of history and a story. I flipped through the pages one by one, full of curiosity and expectation, hoping to find some secrets about the Song family from the family tree. When I turned to the last page, a name was roughly crossed out, and there was a small text next to it: "The betrayer will not have a good end." I was shocked. What's going on? Why is there such a text? I continued to flip through it, hoping to find more clues. Looking at this, Song Zihan couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is my great-grandfather, didn't he die of illness?" Song Zian's face was pale, and his voice trembled slightly: "The betrayer... Is this the source of the curse?" After I thought deeply, I found that "the curse and family betrayal are inextricably linked, but to understand this mystery, we need more clues." In my hand, this letter made of heavy paper and soft ink was held carefully by me, feeling the friction between the paper and the slight coolness brought by the ink. I put down the family tree that I had been reading for many years and picked up this letter instead. The letter was a little blurry, but the key words in it were still clearly visible: "guard", "secret", "disaster". This seems to be a warning from our ancestors to future generations. They seem to be telling us that in this world, there are some things that we need to guard, some secrets that we need to uncover, and some disasters that we need to face. Song Zihan took the letter and read every word very carefully. She wondered curiously: What kind of secrets does our Song family hide? With curiosity and irrepressible excitement, I finally reached out and picked up the jade pendant, which was as warm as jade. I could feel my fingers sliding gently across its surface. It was a feeling full of life and magic, which made my fingers full of power at this moment. The jade pendant exuded a faint and soft light, a light that made people feel warm and comfortable. It seemed to tell me the history and stories it had experienced. I carefully observed the jade pendant and found that there were many complex and exquisite patterns engraved on its surface. These patterns were very similar to the family emblem of the Song family, which seemed to imply that this jade pendant had some kind of indissoluble bond with the Song family. "This jade pendant may be the key to unlocking the curse." I whispered to myself, feeling the cold breath emanating from the jade pendant. Song Zihan reached out and touched the jade pendant, and asked curiously: "So, how should we use this jade pendant to lift the curse?" At this moment, clear footsteps came from the entrance of the basement, and the sound came from far away and was chilling. Then, a cold laugh came, full of ridicule and disdain: "Do you think that finding the treasure can solve all problems? How naive!" Just as we were shocked by this sudden change and wanted to turn around to look behind us, we found that a dark shadow had quietly stood at the entrance, and the torch in his hand illuminated his face - it turned out to be our old rival. "Excuse me, who are you? What is your real purpose?" I held the jade pendant tightly in my hand, fully committed to the battle, ready to meet the challenge at any time. The black shadow sneered: "I am not important, you can't break this curse at all." Song Zian responded firmly: "No matter what, we will find a way to break the curse, no matter how much it costs." Hearing this, the black shadow seemed to be shocked. After a short silence, he finally said: "Okay, I can give you a chance. Tomorrow night at midnight, please take this jade pendant to the ancient pavilion, and I will tell you how to break the curse." After that, the black shadow disappeared into the darkness, leaving the three of us looking at each other. "Mr. Hawthorne, can that gentleman's words be trusted?" Song Zihan asked Mr. Hawthorne with a puzzled look on his face. I was tangled in my heart, but I still replied very seriously: "No matter what, we must try, because this is our only hope at the moment." Song Zian also nodded, and said in a firm tone: "We have no way out." We left the basement and walked back to the study step by step along the narrow stairs. At this time, the study no longer had that faint mysterious atmosphere. Sitting at the desk in the study, we continued to study the dusty family tree and various letters to learn about the origin of this family and its thousand-year history. At the same time, I also carefully took the jade pendant in my hand, carefully observing its texture and texture, trying to find some clues. The three of us studied and discussed in the study, trying to find a way to break the curse. As night fell, the soft light in the quiet study gently fell on our faces, as if cheering for our courage and determination. Although we knew nothing about the upcoming adventure, we firmly believed that as long as we work together and support each other, we will be able to overcome any difficulties and move towards a bright future. 0
