Ah Jiu subconsciously wanted to retreat to get out of the way of the knife, but was blocked by Xia Tian and was cut to the ground, but in the end he was not hurt at all.
"Jiu Yatou, can't you see that this is a phantom?"
Xia Tian said with a smile.
"phantom?"
Ah Jiu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "Where did it come from?"
The furnishings of the Jade Sky Palace are not complicated, and can even be said to be a bit crude. The door opens to the living room, and there is no furniture inside.
There is a door on each side, the one on the left and right is closed, the one on the right is ajar, and there is a faint light flickering inside.
Bai Xianxian stretched out her hand and pointed to the room on the right: "It seems to come from there."
"I'm going to take a look. Be careful, there might be some mechanism or trap here."
Ah Jiu also saw the ajar door and felt that there was spiritual energy flowing inside, as if someone was hiding inside.
Xia Tian said casually: "Jiu Yatou, you are overthinking. There was at least a protective formation here before, which was integrated with the Four Elephants Divine Light Formation, but it was destroyed by me just now."
"You talk too much, so be careful."
Ah Jiu glared at Xia Tian dissatisfiedly, and took the lead in walking toward the ajar door.
"Who dares to break into the Jade Sky Palace without permission? I'll kill you!"
Just as Ah Jiu was about to push the door open a little further, a cold shout suddenly came from inside, followed by another sharp sword slash.
This time Ah Jiu held back and did not dodge. Sure enough, after the knife shadow touched the corner of her clothes, it disappeared instantly, as if it had never appeared.
"Whoever is in there, get out!"
Ah Jiu pushed open the door suddenly and strode in.
The room suddenly lit up, and the appearance of the room appeared before her eyes.
This should be a study room, with wooden shelves built into the four walls. Opposite the door is a wooden table, with a piece of rice paper spread out on it, with a few simple and unfamiliar words written on it, and the ink is still wet.
Somewhat strange.
Next to the rice paper, there is an open wooden box. The surface of the box is also engraved with extremely complicated patterns. At first glance, it seems that it is not something from the earth.
However, after getting closer, Ah Jiu discovered that the box turned out to be a music box.
There is a palm-sized statue of a swordsman in the box. He has a rough appearance and is dressed in black from top to bottom. His hand is on the handle of the sword, and the blade is half-sheathed.
In fact, the carving is very rough, but the swordsman's eyes are particularly bright, as if they are alive. No matter which angle you look at, you feel that he is staring at you, with extremely sharp eyes that most people will never be able to resist.
"This statue is a little weird."
The more Ah Jiu looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't put his finger on it.
Bai Xianxian walked back and forth by the bookshelf, browsing the books on the shelf. They were all ancient and unique books, but they were well preserved.
She looked at it for a while and then took a volume off the shelf.
"Taking unauthorized access to ancient books is a heinous crime. Go and die!"
Suddenly, there was another loud shout, and then the knife shadow slashed out at an extremely fast speed.
Bai Xianxian was startled and subconsciously attacked, but was quickly hugged by Xia Tian.
As expected, the shadow of the knife disappeared without a trace.
"Xianxian wife, that's just a phantom."
Xia Tian explained with a smile: "However, if you fight back, you may get injured."
"Xiaxia, Xianxian, come and take a look."
Ah Jiu had been staring at the box, and at this time he was sure that it was the wooden box that made the sound and cut out the knife shadow.
Xia Tian walked to Ah Jiu with Bai Xianxian in her arms and asked, "Girl Jiu, what did you find?"
"I found out... put her down for me!"
Ah Jiuyi turned his head and saw Xia Xia's hand placed on Bai Xianxian's sensitive position, and couldn't help but let out a light drink.
Bai Xianxian's face was red with embarrassment, but she didn't dare to speak.
"It's okay, I'm not tired."
Xia Tian was extremely thick-skinned and replied seriously: "Jiu Yatou, if you are jealous, I will hug you later."
"I'll give you a hug."
Ah Jiu lightly kicked Xia Xia, "I asked you to put down Xianxian. Didn't you hear me? Didn't you see that Xiaonizi's ears were almost red?"
Xia Tian then let go of Bai Xianxian and said casually: "I saw it, it's quite cute.
Jiu Yatou, your ears are not sensitive, and other parts of your body are not red, so you are not as cute as her."
"You are going to die."
Ah Jiu was angry again and simply ignored the topic and said directly: "The sound and the shadow of the knife just now came from this box."
"I know."
Xia Tian showed an unsurprised expression, "I saw it as soon as I came in."
Ah Jiu said angrily: "Then you didn't tell me earlier!"
"Jiu Yatou, you didn't even ask."
Xia Tian replied with a smile.
"fart!"
Ah Jiu had a good memory and immediately retorted: "I clearly asked where the knife shadow came from before, but you didn't tell me. Xianxian still said it came from this room."
Xia Tian blinked and pretended to be confused: "That's because you didn't call me husband, so I'm not sure if you are asking me."
"I'm really convinced."
Ah Jiu was speechless, so he asked word for word: "Then tell me now, what is this thing! Why can it make sounds and knife shadows!"
"You said this."
Xia Tian chuckled, and then shook his head neatly: "I don't know."
Ah Jiu was so angry that he finally understood why his woman always went crazy from time to time.
"Don't you know everything?"
Ah Jiu thought of what she had boasted about in the past Xia Tian, "How come there are still people who don't know about it now."
Xia Tian corrected him seriously: "Your husband, of course I am omniscient and omnipotent.
But the ignorance I am talking about is not the same kind of ignorance as the ignorance you are talking about.
I don’t know, I just don’t want to know, not that I really don’t know...” “Stop, stop, stop!”
Ah Jiu's head felt like it was getting big, and he interrupted Xia Tian directly: "Don't beat around the bush, I don't care if you don't want to know, or you don't know, in short, I want to know what this is."
"Obviously, this is a music box."
Xia Tian touched Ah Jiu's forehead, "Girl Jiu, why have you become stupid? Is it because you have a fever and your brain is burned out?"
Ah Jiu pushed Xia Tian away: "You just have a fever! The syllables of the music box are very simple, it can't speak, and it can't make knife shadows."
"That's an unusual music box."
Xia Tian said casually.
"Talking to you is such a waste of time, I'd better do my own research."
Ah Jiu rolled her eyes at Xia Tian, picked up the music box, and observed it carefully.
Xia Tian was left alone. After a while, he felt bored, so he said: "That is an ordinary music box, but it is not a music box on the earth. It should have been brought from another world. Outside the box
There are talisman formations engraved on the inside and inside, which will react naturally according to certain situations.
Those knife shadows are actually produced by the talisman array."
Upon hearing this, Ah Jiu immediately opened the music box and saw that there were densely packed talismans inside, and they looked like they were definitely not figures on the earth.
"Don't you know that? Why didn't you say it just now?"
Ah Jiu complained to Xia Tian, and then murmured to himself: "If this box is something from another world, doesn't it mean that Xuanyang Immortal Emperor has been to another world?
Then which world did he go to, Xianyun Continent?"
"You have to ask that idiot Immortal Emperor about this."
Xia Tian said lazily: "However, he has already perished physically and mentally. Jiu Yatou, you have no place to ask."
Ah Jiu ignored Xia Xia and studied the music box for a while, then turned around and observed the books on the bookshelf with Bai Xianxian.
"Are these books also from another world?"
Ah Jiu casually took down a few books, flipped through them, and found that they were all in characters she didn't recognize, and they were definitely not any known characters on earth. "Could he actually be someone who has traveled from another world?"
"of course not."
Xia Tian curled his lips, "These things should be what he got from the secret realm of the Heavenly Palace."
Ah Jiu glanced at him: "You know again?"
"There was a woman in a floral skirt who asked me to help her retrieve three things from the fairy world, but I didn't agree."
Xia Tian said this while telling Ah Jiu and Bai Xianxian some things that happened in Zhongnan Mountain: "If I guess correctly, this music box should be one of them."
"What are the other two?"
Ah Jiu couldn't help but ask.
Xia Tian said nonchalantly: "I refused, she didn't tell me what those three things were."
Bai Xianxian also asked curiously: "Brother Tian, how are you sure that this music box is one of them?"
"Because of the breath."
Xia Tian replied casually: "This thing has a scent similar to that of the woman in the floral skirt, but other things in the room don't have it."
Ah Jiu speculated: "It seems that Xuanyang Immortal Emperor has been to the secret realm of Tiangong?"
"Whether he has been or not has nothing to do with us."
Xia Tian yawned and said with an indifferent expression: "Since everyone is gone, I don't care what anyone does, so I might as well find a place to sleep."
Ah Jiu said angrily: "Are you sleepy?"
Xia Tian said seriously: "I'm not sleepy, but I just want to sleep with you."
"rogue!"
Ah Jiu rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and directly touched Bai Xianxian's hand, "Xianxian, don't pay attention to him either. Let's sort out these books and see if there are any other mysteries here."
Xia Tian followed the two of them leisurely, observing their figures without blinking. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that he was really discerning, and he was worthy of being the smartest person in the world.
Almost at the same time, Yi Xiaoyin, who had just returned to China by plane, met several mysterious people as soon as she left the airport.
"Miss Yi, right? Our boss wants to meet you."
One of the mysterious people said in an emotionless tone.
Yi Xiaoyin asked: "Who is your boss?"
"No comment on this."
The mysterious man replied coldly.
"Then please forgive me for not accompanying you."
Yi Xiaoyin refused with a cold expression: "I want to go back to Jianghai, please don't block the way."
The mysterious man suddenly said: "Doctor Yi, do you still remember a patient you treated in southern Xinjiang twenty years ago?"
Twenty years ago, when she first started practicing medicine, she did go to southern Xinjiang to treat a patient.
Yi Xiaoyin's heart suddenly trembled, her face changed, and her eyes revealed a rare hint of panic: "Are you..."
