This meat and gold case has reappeared. There is no need to guess, it must be the work of the "Holy Sect".
However, a question that has always troubled Lin Xixue is why this so-called "holy gate" that secretly worships Tianzun needs so much gold.
If only a large amount of gold was needed, it would be fine, but this gold was also circulated on the market on a large scale. In addition to making Lin Xixue lament that the "Holy Sect" was acting unscrupulously, what made Lin Xixue even more curious was that they all used this money.
What did the money do?
The first time she saw this evil magic that turned stone into gold, she already had these doubts, but she still hasn't been able to get any answers.
Originally, the royal family of Yunzhou asked Lantau to investigate the matter thoroughly, but as soon as Cha found out some clues, Lantau was wiped out, leaving only Bai Qing, the only one left.
Now that the Holy Sect has lost its restraint, it is indeed expected that it will commit crimes again.
Lin Xixue was lost in thought, while Feng Yuexian on the side was already holding on to the wall and started retching.
She had been protected very well by her elders and her brother Feng Buyou since she was a child. After all, she had not been exposed to many similar horrific incidents. Now that she heard about this strange news about flesh and gold, she naturally felt extremely disgusted.
After a while, Feng Yuexian gradually regained his composure and asked in a weak voice: "Why did the gold in the inventory turn into that kind of thing overnight?"
"It's just an evil method. Anyway, forget about it. Don't mention it in the future. Don't get involved." Lin Xixue solemnly warned the two of them.
"Listen to Miss Lin, but what do you know?" Cheng Yanqi was curious.
"Yes, not only do I know about it, but I also have a lot of grudges with the forces behind it. But if you believe me, don't mention this matter in the future." Lin Xixue warned again.
"As for the gold nugget I gave you, although its origin is special and I cannot disclose it, I can assure you that it is definitely not meat gold. You can use it with confidence."
"Okay, I can trust Miss Lin." Cheng Yanqi nodded.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Lin Xixue took out a handful of spiritual soil and said, "Put this thing away first."
"What is this?" Cheng Yanqi curiously put the object in her palm and rubbed it. She felt that it was not significantly different from ordinary sand.
"You can understand this thing as being used to ward off evil spirits. If any evil spirit touches this thing, it will reveal its original shape and die suddenly." Lin Xixue had made her words as vague as possible and did not mention it.
Note the birth of the empress.
"This kind of evil spirit has been spreading secretly in Jingyun City for a long time. The bookstore opens its doors every day to welcome guests. I'm sure some girls will fall prey to it. You can use this to test it out."
"Is this happening? If you are really contaminated by this evil spirit, what are the signs?"
Lin Xixue told Cheng Yanqi the specific details again. After listening to this, Cheng Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If this is the case, then none of the girls in my study apartment will be tricked for the time being.
"
"This matter is of great importance. Just in case, let's dissolve this substance in water and let the girls drink it."
Cheng Yanqi hesitated again and again, but nodded in agreement. If this evil spirit can really lurk so deep, the sooner it is eliminated, the safer it will be.
However, she still had some doubts. If this strange sand was actually some kind of poison, wouldn't the lives of so many girls in the apartment fall into Lin Xixue's hands?
She understood that as Cheng Yanqi, she should not have any doubts about Lin Xixue. But as the owner of the book apartment, she must be responsible for the lives and fortunes of all the girls in the book apartment.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally asked: "Miss Lin, do you have to take this thing?"
When Lin Xixue heard this response, she was startled for a moment, then understood Cheng Yanqi's worries and explained: "Actually, you don't have to take it, it's just that it works the fastest."
"If you are really worried, it would be the same if you ask the girls to wash their hands with water dissolved in this substance."
When Cheng Yanqi heard this, she looked ashamed and said, "This is just what Yanqi is doing. I hope Miss Lin won't mind it."
"It doesn't matter," Lin Xixue shook her head, "After all, this is about the safety of everyone in the apartment, so you won't be wrong if you are more cautious. If I were in the same position, I'm afraid I would have the same worries."
Cheng Yanqi choked up again after hearing this. Although she did not make any more promises, she had already made up her mind that her life would belong to Lin Xixue from now on.
"In the next few days, there will be more and more chaos in Jingyun City. You and the sisters in Shuyu must be careful." After Lin Xixue warned again, she took Feng Yuexian back to Jinxiu Inn.
"Okay, now that you have helped me find the Feng Shui treasure land, we are done. You two, brother and sister, and I are now settled."
Feng Buyou took a step forward and said: "In this case, I will take my sister back to my ancestors as soon as possible, after all."
Halfway through the sentence, he swallowed the second half of the sentence abruptly. After all, she couldn't bear to see her sister sad because of her own affairs again.
"There's no rush. Brother Feng still remembers that I just said I wanted to take you somewhere. Let's go back as soon as possible."
Feng Buyou hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, and after telling Feng Yuexian to stay well in the inn, he left.
Lin Xixue took him to Yumifang, and after scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he found the aunt selling embroidered shoes. And behind the aunt, there was indeed a very thick tree.
She walked up and asked, "Madam, how do you sell these embroidered shoes?"
"Fifty cents for a pair. If you bring your own materials, I will only charge you twenty cents." The aunt replied with a smile.
But Lin Xixue was keenly aware of the sadness hidden behind the lady's smile, and she naturally knew the origin of this sadness.
But she still asked knowingly: "Auntie, do you seem to have something on your mind?"
"Haha, looking at your dress, girl, you must be a young lady from a wealthy family. It is really rare that you are willing to care about my old bones, which are half buried in the ground."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that my unfilial son has been away from home for several days. He probably went somewhere to hide from debts."
"Hide from debt? Does your son owe a lot of money?"
"Hey, just like his father, he is a bad gambler. He lost a lot of money and was blocked by others. Otherwise, why would I, an old man like me, be sitting here selling embroidered shoes?"
"Ah, this." Lin Xixue couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Well, such a bad gambler asked her to tell him that she was going to be an official in a far away place. Didn't this person even think about the rationality of making up lies?
Fortunately, I had inquired about the situation first, otherwise it would have been a big joke if I really had to follow the lines he gave me.
"Ahem, I think you've reached your old age, aunt. It's better to let such an unfilial son go out and fend for himself than to care what he does." These words were indeed Lin Xixue's true thoughts.
The aunt smiled bitterly and said: "After all, he is my flesh and blood. Besides, he later became addicted to gambling. In fact, it is mainly my responsibility."
"Is it your responsibility, aunt, that he likes to gamble?" Lin Xixue was a little confused.
