"Is this your space? Why is it so dark? I can't see anything!"
Qingyan said to the surroundings without focusing.
"I just found the flashlight. I forgot that the battery inside was dead. We don't seem to have any candles. I'm looking for something to light up." Chou Chou's voice came from beside her.
For Chou Chou, this space is his possession. Even if he can't see his fingers, he can clearly feel where the things inside are.
Before, it relied entirely on its spiritual consciousness to retrieve things from space, so there was no hindrance at all.
Qingyan looked in the direction of the sound, "Is your space always so dark? Doesn't it have day and night like Xiangxiang's space?"
Chou Chou shook his head, thinking that she couldn't see, and said: "That's not true, it was really dark before, and after the upgrade, there are day and night, and now it happens to be night.
There's no moon or stars inside here, so it's so dark. It's bright during the day, but not as bright as outside, just like a cloudy day. "
Qingyan thought about waiting for an opportunity to come in and take a look during the day. When she thought about Chou Chou saying that she didn't have any lighting tools, she said, "Why don't you just bring the spirit stone in for lighting?"
Chou Chou shook his head and said, "It's better to say goodbye. My space has been upgraded now. It would be terrible if all the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone is absorbed. My space can now absorb not only the Yin evil spirit, but also the spiritual energy."
Some of the jade stones I collected before now have no trace of aura inside them, so I'd better find something else to use for lighting. "
"That's it. Then you can take the oil lamp inside the house and use it."
Qingyan thought for a moment and said.
She carried the oil lamp into the bedroom from the main room, and blew it out after she finished washing. After all, lamp oil was quite expensive in this era, so it was better to save it for mother and son.
At the same time, I was thinking that I should remember to prepare some candles when I get to Yunling County. I really didn't think of this before, because before, I used spiritual stones or directly lit fires or torches.
Chou Chou used his spiritual consciousness to directly take the oil lamp in, and then lit it with a lighter.
There was a faint light in the dark space instantly. Although the light of the oil lamp was not very strong, it seemed very bright in this dark place.
When Qingyan adjusted to the light and saw the surrounding scene clearly, she couldn't help but take a breath.
This is messy! A little further forward there is no place to set foot!
She knew that Chou Chou was usually disorganized, unlike Xiang Xiang who did everything in a strict manner and liked to place everything neatly, even in the space, which was well planned.
I didn’t expect that Chou Chou’s space could be in such chaos.
She also saw the pile of gold that Chou Chou mentioned before. It was really a mountain of gold, seven or eight meters high and dozens of meters in diameter. This must have swept away all the gold in Xiangxiang Space!
I don’t know if Xiangxiang will clean it up again after knowing it.
There are a lot of things piled next to the gold mountain, some of which are even piled directly on top of the gold. They are all the things I bought before. There are wooden strips, leather, pots and pans, etc., all piled there.
The most speechless thing is that the furs I bought covered the iron pot, and there were wooden basins and barrels stacked on top. It felt shaky and might topple over with just a light touch.
He couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Chou Chou, "You're too messy. You just pile them on top. Fortunately, we haven't used this iron pot yet. If it's been burned, what's the pot on top?" Not all the dust has rubbed onto the fur."
The sheepskin quilt she had sewn with the cotton quilt cover was also piled there. Fortunately, the clothes she bought were wrapped in a big bag and put aside. Moreover, the ground was not earth, but a very smooth slate. .
How smooth is it? It feels like it will slip when you walk on it.
Even so, Qingyan couldn't stand it. Like her father, she had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. She had to put everything away, and she felt uncomfortable if she didn't put it away.
So he ignored other things in the space and directly commanded Chou Chou to start cleaning up.
It was impossible to do it by hand. If she had to take care of it, there would be so many things that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Fortunately, Chou Chou can really control his own space as he pleases. Qingyan can command it and tell it how to place things, and Chou Chou can do it instantly.
So the next time I started arranging the things in the space, I first cleaned out the gold, and put the daily necessities in a separate place. Because the ground was clean, I just divided the areas and put the things on the ground neatly. , and there is no need to build any wooden shelves or the like.
Kitchen utensils such as pots and pans are placed together with the charcoal stove, charcoal basin seasonings, etc., and the charcoal is placed aside.
Of course, quilts, clothes, etc. were put together with fabrics and leathers. She thought that if there was a chance, she could buy a cabinet or box to put them in. She always felt awkward putting these things on the ground.
I didn't realize it before, but now when I think about her clothes being placed casually on top of pots and pans, or on other objects, I can't help but want to take them out and wash them.
Sigh... Now is not the time to think about this, so let's just make do with it.
There are shelves, and the few wooden shelves that were stored in the secret room of the cottage are also piled up together with a bunch of things. Fortunately, the things on them are still on top, so there is no need to move them. Just move its position and put it in a special place for antiques.
Then put all the gold and silver collected before and put them near Jinshan.
Here they had finally put away the things they had bought and collected before, and then looked at another pile of even more messy things, and couldn't help but sigh.
One look at the style and material and know that these are the funerary objects in Yin Jin's tomb. They are all made of bronze, jade, and white pottery, and have inscriptions on them.
To be honest, Qingyan actually feels a little taboo about this thing. Although the owner of the tomb has been "resurrected", there are many people who died there, not to mention those who were buried in the past, but also those who were later sacrificed alive. There are mountains of bones.
I always feel that this thing is spooky, with a lot of yin energy and resentment on it. Of course, Chou Chou relies on this to practice, so this thing has no hindrance to it, but Qingyan doesn't want to put them with daily necessities. together.
He directly asked Chou Chou to move to a place far away, and put the things up in a big way.
Because they were funerary objects, most of them were placed there, and nothing was packed in wooden boxes. There were very few gold and silver jewelry among the funerary objects of that period. Most of them are bronze ritual vessels or something, which are of great research value but cannot be resold.
When they were almost done cleaning up, Qingyan found a black box on the ground, which was the same color as the ground. It was almost impossible to tell if it wasn't so close.
"What is this? Is it also from the tomb?" Qingyan looked at it curiously, but did not touch it.
Chou Chou looked at it and said, "Oh, that's what Yin Jin put in the coffin. I think something so precious to him should be a good thing. I haven't had time to open it yet, so I'd better open it now."
As he said that, he picked it up and opened it directly.
Qingyan leaned over to take a look and saw a bead inside, shining with a pale golden light under the light of the oil lamp.
"What kind of bead is this? Is it also an inner elixir?"
The size of this bead is the same as that of Black Bird's inner elixir, but the color is different.
Chou Chou took the bead out of the box and looked at it carefully. He also used his spiritual sense to probe in and try it. His eyes were shining and he said: "It's true! This is the inner elixir of a fox monster. It's better than that black bird." The Tao is profound, but it’s a pity that there is no soul in it, and it should have dissipated.”
"Fox? It can't be Daji's, right?"
The first thing she thought of was this, because this is the most famous one. Could it be that Daji did not die in the hands of King Wu of Zhou, but in the hands of King Zhou, and Neidan asked his son to bring him out, right?
Chou Chou rolled his eyes, "You are overthinking, there are so many fox demons, who knows which one this is, besides, Daji is a vixen from the Ming Dynasty, she is Su Hu's daughter.
This is the inner elixir of a fox demon who has been practicing for nearly 800 years, a yellow-haired male fox. "
Qingyan raised her eyebrows, "How come you even know the color of its fur? Isn't there no soul inside it?"
Chou Chou explained to her: "The color of the inner elixir is similar to the appearance of the monster. For example, the black bird's is black and this one is golden, so the fox should be yellow.
This should have been placed by Yin Jin next to the corpse to refine the souls. The fox's innate skill was confusion, and it should have been used to confuse the souls and make them willing to sacrifice.
By the way, I told you to see the cold jade coffin before. Come on, I'll take you there now. "
Qingyan looked at the pile of funerary objects with confusion. The coffin was not placed with those.
She held the oil lamp in one hand and held the other hand in front to block the wind caused by walking, and followed Chou Chou Rao across Jinshan to the back.
This side is an open space the size of a football field. It's still the smooth stone floor. There are a lot of food piled not far away. This is good. Chou Chou didn't mix these things with the daily necessities over there. They were treated the same and piled together with the funerary objects, but a separate place was dedicated to stacking them.
But even so, it was messy enough. A pile of vacuum-packed dried meat was spread out on the floor. Since I hadn’t eaten much, I just ate it as a snack occasionally, so there was still a lot of dried meat.
There are also a lot of drinks, milk and canned fruits piled there. There are also a lot of fresh fruits piled next to the dried meat, including apples, peaches, persimmons, grapes, pears and bananas.
Except for the peaches and persimmons, which were picked in the mountains before, the others were all brought over from later generations. The number of bananas was the smallest. I don’t know whether there were originally few or there were not many left.
After all, Chou Chou's current appearance is that of a monkey, and it's normal for monkeys to like to eat bananas.
Secondly, there are the pheasants, hares, and wild goats that were brought in. There are not many of them, only about ten in total. This is because they keep some for emergencies.
When I usually eat, I will look for it nearby, and I will buy fresh food if I can. This is only used when I really can't find anything to eat. Then there is the grain next to it. This is the grain they bought before. They are all piled together.
She suspected that if some things weren't afraid of being pressed, Chou Chou might have piled them up directly and wouldn't have put them there separately like this. There were quite a few things overlapped, and Qingyan's mind was blown by the sight. Ren'er hurts.
I couldn't help but want to go over and pick out the things. Fortunately, these things were covered with plastic sheets. This was the origin of the plastic sheets on their carriage shed.
I don’t know if I was afraid of dust sticking to the ground or something, so I spread a layer of plastic sheeting and piled things on top.
The only thing Qingyan is happy about now is that although the Chou Chou space is messy, it is very clean and free of dust and odor. This is really the greatest blessing among misfortunes.
Then Chou Chou cleaned up everything in the next time, and even the matter of Chou Chou bringing her over to see the coffin was forgotten.
After putting the food into categories, I put some fruits that were afraid of being pressed into the basket. Although I knew that they wouldn’t be able to be pressed in the space, I still felt something was wrong just throwing them on the ground randomly, so I might as well put them in the basket. It will be nice to buy a few more baskets later.
Then I followed Chou Chou and continued walking forward. After passing the open space, I found that there was land further ahead. The soil was black, but it didn't look fertile. Instead, it looked like it was seriously polluted. After all, there was no grass growing around it.
A little ahead is a pool about fifty meters in diameter.
To be honest, Chou Chou said before that it had dug a pool in the space to hold fragrant spiritual spring water. She thought it was just a small pool, but she didn't expect it to be so big.
In the past, she tried to use water sparingly every time, but she found that she had underestimated Chou Chou. Such a big pool was filled with water, and it would probably take ten or eight years to use it up.
"Then why is the coffin placed near the water?"
Looking at the coffin by the water, Qingyan said doubtfully.
"This Millennium Cold Jade is a good thing. Not only can it keep itself fresh, but it also has a rich aura. After absorbing the evil spirit above, I originally wanted to put it in the water. Maybe the water can also become fragrant. Like a spiritual spring, it has some spiritual energy.
Moreover, the water will be ice cold, which has the effect of refreshing the mind. But thinking that this is the coffin where that guy Yin Jin lay, I feel uncomfortable, so I don’t put it in the water, but put it on the edge of the water. .
Even so, the water is still very cold. If it is summer, watermelon and sugar water can be chilled in this water. "
Hearing this, Qingyan couldn't help but stretched out her hand and tried it. "Hiss!" She quickly retracted her fingers, and her fingers were immediately numb from the cold. The water was really freezing cold, and it was indeed a thousand-year-old cold jade.
But it is true that if a coffin that someone has been lying on is placed in water, it is indeed a bit too weird. What's more, this is what they usually use for cooking and washing, so it is better not to pollute it.
"Then put it next to the water. Anyway, in your space, you can just absorb the spiritual energy in it."
