In the jar that Tang Zhao carried with him, there lay a golden stone whose origin he didn't know.
It was taken from a coffin floating in the air. It was hidden in the coffin lid by a woman who turned into white bones. It was only the size of a pearl, but it exuded a light that even Tang Zhao's sword elephant could not match.
Although Tang Zhao didn't recognize it at all, he knew intuitively that it was something of great importance, so he carefully received it in the jar.
This matter is secret enough that only two people may have witnessed it. One is alive, that is, Tang Zhao, and the other has silently turned into bones. If she knew anything, she might know that she left the things she hid before her death to Tang Zhao.
Even the white fox doesn't know.
At first, Tang Zhao speculated from the few words engraved on the coffin, such as asking Dongjun for help, that the person in the coffin might be related to Dongjun. Later, he heard Bai Hu guess the origin of the woman and confirmed it a little more. Now when he saw these golden powders, he was even more confused.
Got a grip.
The gold powder, which is said to be able to drive away shadows and maintain a floor for several months, has almost the same texture as that stone.
Although the stone is not big, compared with the dust scattered on the lampshade, the difference in size is like the comparison between the sun and the earth, or even the sun and the moon.
Tang Zhao even suspected that the fine dust was not scraped off with some kind of tool. After all, it is easy to scrape off a thick layer just by scraping casually. If such a light powder cannot be scraped off, there must be a special processing method.
If these gold powders are really that magical, a little bit can scare them away from getting close. If a method is found to break down this stone into fine dust, and evenly disperse them in every corner of this world, maybe
Is it really possible to cleanse away these stubborn and difficult-to-remove darkness?
Can?
Tang Zhao rejected the idea he had just had.
If that could be done, why didn’t the woman with the bones not do it in the first place?
The stone originally belonged to her, and she was familiar with all the operations. She might have scraped the gold powder here herself. She also felt remorse in her heart. She was obviously brooding over the disaster and would never forget it until her death.
There was a way to save Bai Yujing, even if it was to save the fairies in Bai Yujing, how could she lie down in the coffin and leave quietly?
Of course, it couldn’t have been saved at that time!
So she hid the stone with the intention of entrusting it to future generations, but it probably wasn't to let people take the stone back to rescue Bai Yujing. Is there any other use?
The first thing Tang Zhao thought of was a token.
Thinking about the origin of that woman again, the answer is obvious...
While he was thinking, Bai Hu asked: "You mentioned Dongjun again, where is Dongjun here...?"
At this time, she also thought of the white bones and the speculation she had mentioned to Tang Zhao before, and said, "Are you talking about the Dongjun envoy? Do you think this lamp belongs to her?"
Ah Qin said thoughtfully: "Are you talking about the messenger sister? I have met the messenger of Dongjun."
Ling Baoyu originally thought that Tang Zhao was just guessing, but when she heard what Ah Qin said, she was excited and said, "What's going on? How could you have seen her? Tell me quickly."
According to the time, when the Dongjun envoy came, the disaster had already happened. Ah Qin was the only one in Bai Yujing who was playing hide and seek heartlessly. He should have never seen that person, right?
Aqin said: "It's nothing, I met it by chance. It was that day, the day of the disaster. The weather was very bad that day, and it was as dark as crow feathers. I don't know what your highness and aunts are busy with, so I just want to
I was looking for someone to play with as before. But I remember it was strange that day. I couldn’t find anyone to play with me. It seemed like everyone had disappeared. I was very angry, so I looked for someone nearby. I looked from a distance.
When a sister walked by, I didn't even see who it was, so I called out, 'That sister, let's play hide-and-seek together?'"
"She stopped and turned around. It turned out to be a sister she didn't know. She was very good-looking and had very bright eyes. I was a little embarrassed, and when I was about to speak, she stared at me and said, 'Hide and seek?'"
At this point, Ah Qin suddenly stopped and his expression suddenly changed.
Ling Baoyu immediately thought that an enemy was coming. He quickly pricked up his ears and looked around. When he found that no one was coming, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What's the matter? Did you suddenly change your appearance?"
Ah Qin quipped: "I didn't realize it at all at the time. Her face looked so scary. When I just recalled it, I thought of her face. How could she have such a scary look? I really didn't understand anything at the time.
.”
She shook her head repeatedly and continued:
"I was very happy and said: 'Yes, hide and seek. I hide and you come to me. OK? We won't play for too long. If you don't have time...' She laughed and said: 'Okay, I will accompany you.
You play hide-and-seek.' At that time, I was just patronizing and having fun, but now that I think about it... she was smiling so horribly at that time, as if she wanted to kill me."
Ling Baoyu couldn't believe it and said: "She has murderous intentions towards you? Why?"
Although she has always hated Dongjun, she only thought that Dongjun was not worthy of his name and was dragging his allies into trouble, but she never doubted the fact of being an "ally". From what Ah Qin said, it seemed like there was something wrong with this woman's fundamental stance?
Isn't that true? Not to mention His Highness's certification, just the name Dongjun, there is always some guarantee, right?
Tang Zhao, on the other hand, was not surprised.
When he saw those messy words of regret, he had many guesses, and this was just one of them.
Ah Qin said in a panic: "I don't know. I just noticed it. I didn't notice it at all at the time. I was such a fool at the time! I asked her: 'Sister, I've never seen you before. Are you new to Baiyu?'
Is it from Beijing?' She replied: 'I come from outside, from a place far, far away. Even if I tell you about that place, you won't know it.' I listened at that time and was thinking about hide and seek. She asked me
"Where are you going to hide?" At that time, I was in front of Qianqiu Tower, and I said casually: "Just Qianqiu Tower. I'll hide, and you come find me. I won't go anywhere else, just in the building. You come find me."
, you will win if you find me before the sun rises." She laughed, well, she smiled beautifully at this time, I had an impression. She said: "Okay, you stay in the building, don't come out. You are a good child
,If you can’t say it, you won’t say it.'”
Ling Baoyu was slightly awe-inspiring and listened to this conversation with an attitude. It was Ah Qin who had passed through the gate of hell.
That woman must have been sneaking around in Bai Yujing to do something bad, and happened to meet Ah Qin. At that time, she showed murderous intent, most likely intending to kill Ah Qin to silence him, because at that time Ah Qin was really innocent, had no suspicion at all, and was willing to
He hid in Qianqiu Tower and could not come out, so he escaped with a small life.
The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to her. With His Highness' ability, even if he couldn't resist the evildoer, why would he lead everyone to self-declaration in the end and not be able to escape?
It turns out that there is a ghost inside, and the inside should be in harmony with the outside.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help grinding her teeth, wishing she could crush that woman's bones into ashes and cut Dong Jun into pieces.
Ah Qin said: "I went to Qianqiu Tower with her. I stood inside the door and she stood outside. I said, 'Sister, you can only look for me when the sun goes down. You can't look for me again until the sun rises. Then.'
It’s just that I won. You can’t cheat when you win or lose.’ She said she understood, and then asked me if there was anything to eat or drink in the building? I said no, it was only a dozen hours before the sun set and rose again.
I'm already a swordsman, and nothing will happen if I don't eat or drink for a day or two."
"She shook her head and said: 'No, although the sun will set soon, it may not rise again for a long, long time.' I laughed and said: 'How is it possible? The sun will rise immediately after it sets.
The length of day and night is fixed. It has been like this since ancient times. Sister, how come you don’t even know this?" She squatted down, looked at me levelly, and said, "No, who said that what has been happening since ancient times must be certain.
Is it natural? What has happened until today may not happen after tomorrow. I know that the sun will set and never rise again, because I come from the sun, and I am the messenger of Dongjun. But you don’t know
.Come, take another look at the sun.'"
"I was very confused, the weather was so bad, where could I see the sun? I looked in the direction she pointed, and I seemed to see a hazy light in the clouds. It was the shadow of the sun. It didn't make sense, so I didn't
I saw it. She touched my head and said: "You see it clearly. I hope you can still remember that you are the one who has seen the sun." Alas, I am such a fool. I only thought her words were strange, but she didn't
I didn't ask her. It would have been nice if I had asked her more."
She repeated several times that she was a fool, obviously getting angrier as she thought about it.
Ling Baoyu sighed: "If you had asked more questions, you might have died at that time. So she has indeed been here, and this lamp may be hers. This woman... this woman..."
She turned to look at Tang Zhao and said, "You said she later wrote on the coffin that she regretted it? Which kind of regret? Did she regret doing something wrong? Or did she regret not killing us all?"
Tang Zhao shook his head and said: "Maybe it's all...or maybe you regret it after being deceived?"
At this point, the story is almost over. Ah Qin said: "Later, I hid in Qianqiu Tower. Instead of waiting for her to come to me, the black shadow came. The black shadow chased me, so I hid."
I couldn't hide it, so I had to merge it with the reflection, and it's been more than a hundred years since it became what it is now."
There was some silence in the room, as if a shadow from outside had invaded the room.
Due to her identity, Aqin could not really see the true picture of the disaster, but the fresh perspective she provided did outline the other side of the accident.
The sudden change that could drag the entire Bai Yujing into the water is indeed very deep.
Tang Zhao pondered and said, "Miss Aqin, you and Miss Ling asked me to come in to discuss, do you still want to change back to your original appearance?"
Ah Qin said: "It's not that... I'm like this. I probably can't change back. And my situation is not the most important thing now. The most important thing is to go to the palace city and the Yutang to see if I can find His Highness. If I find it,
Now, can you wake up His Highness? I just... I have been incorporeal for a long time. I can't touch or eat. I don't look like a human being at all. I don't look like a sword either... I'm just a swordsman. I don't know.
What can you do, even make a sword?"
Her words were a bit confusing. Tang Zhao didn't understand what she wanted?
Do you want to seek a future and see if you can cultivate to a certain level and then return to reality?
She looks a bit like a phantom. Although Tang Zhao doesn't understand that industry, but if you have friends who are spiritual officials, you can ask Senior Feng for the spiritual cultivation method. I wonder if it can be used universally?
Ling Baoyu said: "She wants to have an entity, no longer need to hide in the mirror, and can move around freely. She also wants to touch the clouds, step on the ground, and taste the candy... I think so, if I want to
No one can reverse time and restore the original appearance. I heard that you Fu Sword Masters have the ability to upgrade and downgrade the quality of materials, such as water and fire conversion. Can you follow the cat's example and convert her into
