Zhao Rong frowned slightly and pondered for a while, but still couldn't find any clue.
Moreover, when he just woke up, he actually checked his clothes and found that he did not have any jade products with him.
Have I forgotten something important?
His eyelids twitched, feeling something bad...
Zhao Lingfei lowered her eyes and waited for a while. When she saw that the man in front of her still didn't move, she raised her head.
The two looked at each other.
One high and one low.
The woman frowned lightly, Zhao Rong was worried.
"Where's the jade plaque?"
The woman asked seriously.
"..."
"Where is my jade token?"
The woman repeated. Her voice became colder and colder, like a snow-capped peak that had not changed for thousands of years.
"What jade medal are you talking about?" Zhao Rong was so stared at that his scalp numbed, but he still looked at her sincerely.
I also want to find out the situation. Well, that jade plaque you mentioned, is it important...
"That's my jade sign."
The woman looked up at him and spoke word by word.
Zhao Rong opened his mouth, but still didn't speak. He didn't know how to answer.
Zhao Lingfei was silent.
It seems that he has figured out something.
She sniffed, looked at him with her autumn eyes for a while, and then stopped looking at him.
He let go of his tightly clenched jade hands, stood up suddenly, and walked out, his face full of indifference.
Zhao Rong hurriedly stepped aside to make way for her, and stood there stupidly looking at the woman's back.
She was dressed in a complicated and gorgeous phoenix robe, with a tall figure, slender waist, and straight jade back. She held her head high like a swan and pushed the door open without looking back.
It took Zhao Rong a while to come back to his senses. Was he... angry?
Um, should I chase her? But what should I say if I catch her?
Hey, what is this?
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black object on the carpet. He bent down and picked it up, which was an ink-colored jade plaque.
The jade plaque is pure black as a whole, without a trace of impurities, the surface is warm and smooth, and the carving is exquisite and expressive, but it is not symmetrical. An unknown black bird is engraved on the left side of one side, and a few words are engraved on the other side...
"Why send my thoughts?" he thought softly.
Could it be this jade medal she was talking about? No, the colorful ribbon tied on it looks a bit familiar.
It turned out that she had been holding this dark jade tablet in her hand just now. Zhao Rong suddenly realized.
Is this related to the jade plaque she asked me for?
"Miss, miss!"
Suddenly, a crisp shout came from the corridor outside the door. A series of footsteps sounded and then paused.
He turned around and saw a round-faced girl stopped at the door. She bent over and propped up her knees, panting and shouting: "Miss, where are you going? Huh~, it's so late, wait for me~"
Then, the round-faced girl tilted her head and poked her head into the room, glared at the culprit, and shouted angrily: "Brother Smelly Rong'er, why did you make the lady angry again! Didn't you promise me not to bully the lady in the future?
?”
Zhao Rong: "???"
Why did I bully her? Didn't she keep asking inexplicable questions, asking me for an inexplicable piece of jade, and finally left inexplicably?
But before he could defend himself, the girl said "Huh, I won't care about you anymore" and ran away in a hurry.
This girl, Zhao Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly, he had seen some weird things tonight... She must be Zhao Qian'er, Zhao Lingfei's personal maid.
The three of them grew up together and have a close relationship. Because of the marriage, she and Zhao Lingfei had conflicts, but Qian'er has been working hard to reconcile and act as a peacemaker...
"You don't deserve her."
"Who?" Zhao Rong looked around in shock. There was no one in the room and there was silence outside the door. Am I hallucinating?
The next second, his hair stood on end.
"You're not hallucinating."
The voice repeated again. "You are not worthy of her."
Zhao Rong took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, listened and judged carefully.
"She just had her heart broken."
The voice echoed in Zhao Rong's mind along with a chuckle. He couldn't tell the difference between male and female. It was very hoarse, like the sound of sea water grinding sand at low tide, low and silent.
It continued: "But it is a good thing. Only when a woman practices swordsmanship and forgets her love can she achieve great freedom."
"The way of the sword is so high, and the human heart is so unpredictable, how can the sword's heart be stained by even a grain of mortal dust? Her mind is as clear as glass. After this time, she will cut off her personal feelings and rebuild the sword's heart... Haha, although you are useless, but
It's a good thing to do and not to delay others."
Zhao Rong: "..."
"So you are here specifically to ridicule me?" Zhao Rong squinted his eyes slightly and thought to himself.
This time he didn't speak.
The voice paused and asked: "Are you not afraid of me anymore?"
After hearing this, Zhao Rong didn't panic anymore.
He ignored the voice. Instead, he straightened his clothes that he was not used to yet, turned around and walked to the door. He closed the door that was pushed open by the woman, picked up the altar and poured it on the ground.
The wine pot was placed on the Eight Immortals table in the room, and he picked up a very luxurious-looking purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea to quench his thirst.
This herbal tea is a bit astringent. He suddenly missed Feizhai Happy Water...
"Interesting, no wonder you don't have any cultivation, you really dare to eat this bowl of soft rice." The voice sounded in his mind again.
Zhao Rong smiled and did not refute.
"What do you call your Excellency?" He put down the teacup and muttered to himself, then played with the Black Bird Jade Poetry Tablet.
Looking closely at it, he felt more and more that this jade tablet was extraordinary. It exuded a fragrance, quiet and distant, and reminded him of Qinglian for no reason, but it should not be played with when viewed from a distance.
He smelled it on someone not long ago.
If he stroked it carefully, the jade body could actually heat up slightly. He couldn't put it down.
The voice was silent for a moment.
"...Gui, please call me Gui."
"What a good name." Zhao Rong curled his lips and continued to look down at the jade plaque.
Seemingly aware of his distraction and perfunctoryness, Gui Qi said: "Hey, kid, aren't you afraid of me? Don't you want to know how I communicate with you?"
"I'm afraid of a hammer. If you really had ill intentions towards me, why would you talk so much nonsense?"
Zhao Rong stopped what he was doing, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "As for how to talk to me, hey, you are either a powerful person who transmits sounds thousands of miles away; or you are a fallen existence.
There is only a remnant soul left living in my body or in the jade tablet in my hand. Both of them can probably make a sound in my sea of consciousness."
Zhao Rong paused: "I prefer the latter. So which one do you belong to?"
Return: "..."
You kid, you still want to scare me? Zhao Rong curled his lips.
Rebirth, I know all the tricks. You are probably my golden finger. You don’t look like a system, but you are a portable grandpa or grandma?
I guess so. Alas, I'm so depressed. I originally wanted to be a quiet fisherman, eat soft rice, enjoy the scenery of this world, and occasionally be a copywriter, copying articles, reciting a famous poem, and gaining a reputation.
, enjoy this life leisurely.
result.
I made my wife angry when I first came here, and now there's this old man who comes with me. He's probably going to seduce, encourage, supervise my practice, and start a legend of a useless person who defies heaven's will.
Alas, it’s so cliche. Life is really boring and boring...
It didn't want to talk anymore because it was boring and the novelty after waking up had passed. However, in order to confirm some important things, it decided to take the initiative to speak.
"This is where?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Gui pondered for a while and answered truthfully: "I am in the ajna chakra, one of your seven chakras, and I am indeed talking to you in the sea of consciousness. I am not a remnant soul. My state is very special, but it is still the same."
It paused and laughed at itself: "If you die, I will also be erased. It's your turn."
Zhao Rong nodded calmly. Bound to the host? It's very possible, but you can't believe it completely. It doesn't rule out that it has the idea of seizing the body or other malicious intentions. You must stay vigilant!
"This is the Jingnan Duke's Palace in Qianjing of the Great Chu Dynasty."
He thought for a while and added: "Da Chu seems to be located in Wangquezhou."
This is what his mother mentioned to him when he was a child. She also said that Zhao Rong's hometown is not actually here, but in the distant Nanxiaoyaozhou.
"Gan Jing, gan? Interesting and interesting."
"Wangque, Wangque, I actually returned to the Xuanhuang Realm!"
