"Haha, unless we find the legendary ancient artifact - Nuwa Stone."
"Nuwa stone?"
"right."
Song Qingru looked at Zhao Jin with a "Are you kidding me" expression on her face, while Zhao Jin spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.
"Are you kidding me? Are there any ancient artifacts?"
"I don't have such a hobby, how can I lie to you? Nuwa, the mother of mankind, made humans from clay, refined stones to mend the sky, and helped the human race subdue many demons. She has been admired by the people of China since ancient times. According to legend, Nuwa once To save my beloved daughter who died of illness, I concentrated my ten thousand years of cultivation on a colorful jade stone that was left over from the past to mend the sky. From then on, this spiritual stone has special power."
Zhao Jin carefully explained the origin of the Nuwa Stone with a sincere look on his face, and seemed to really want Song Qingru to believe in the existence of this ancient artifact.
"You said that ancient artifacts are legends. Have you ever seen them?"
Facing Song Qingru's suspicious gaze, Zhao Jin smiled and said nothing.
You may not believe it, but I have actually seen ancient artifacts. One of them is still in my body, and I was brought to this world by it.
Of course, Zhao Jin could only think about this in his heart, and he couldn't really tell her that his identity as a time traveler could only be a secret buried in his heart forever, until it rotted away, even the closest person He couldn't reveal anything about Zhao Jin. In some ways, this was his tragedy.
Alas, it is difficult for even the closest people to understand the inner universe of a person.
"Right, you haven't seen it before. How can such a thing exist? Even if it does exist, it's impossible for us mortals to get it. So you just kept talking about it for a long time, which means you didn't say anything."
Song Qingru snorted. Although she thought about it carefully, even ghosts and spiritual masters could exist, and ancient artifacts didn't seem to be impossible, right? But who told her that she hadn’t seen it yet? Seeing is believing and hearing is false, so at this moment he could only give Zhao Jin a roll of his eyes, otherwise what other reaction could there be?
"Hey, I haven't seen you for two days. Have you started to learn the Northeastern dialect?"
Zhao Jin couldn't help but smile softly and laugh a little while listening to Song Qingru's voice, which was like a mountain stream.
"Tch, that's not the case. My language skills are getting better."
Listening to Song Qingru continuing to speak Northeastern dialect, Zhao Jin couldn't help showing a strange expression on his face. When this beautiful and aloof school beauty started speaking Northeastern dialect, she smelled like a slang, which was seriously inconsistent with her style of painting.
Song Qingru turned a blind eye to Zhao Jin's strange expression and strode forward. After Zhao Jin smiled softly, his eyes changed and he murmured in his heart.
"Nuwa stone, maybe it doesn't exist..."
After all, the Demon Refining Pot, which is one of the top ten ancient artifacts along with the Nuwa Stone, is on Zhao Jin's body.
"Won't their method of resurrection go against Tianhe?"
Song Qingru just took a few steps, and seemed to feel something was wrong again, so she turned back.
"How can such a resurrection be tolerated by heaven and earth? However, the laws of heaven are constant, and whatever is missing will be supplemented. They used sacrifices to make up for the injustice caused by Liu Tianle's resurrection at a greater cost."
"Oh? So you have seen how the ritual is performed?"
"Well, I have a rough idea. The jar contains the child's ashes. His parents used a secret method to blend their blood into his ashes, helping him turn into a living ghost."
"What's the price?"
"Reduced lifespan and damaged yang energy, didn't you see what that man looked like?"
"Well, I saw it, it looked like it was being squeezed dry."
"Of course, the most important thing is not him, but that woman."
"Woman? Are you saying there is something unusual about Liu Tianle's mother?"
It seemed that Liu Tianle's mother did not play a big role in the whole incident. Song Qingru looked at Zhao Jin in confusion.
"Well, do you think that man is handsome?"
"Handsome? Not really. It feels pretty average. Why do you ask?"
Zhao Jin suddenly asked such a seemingly unrelated question, making Song Qingru even more confused.
Indeed, the man's appearance was at best average, the kind that could barely be recognized in a crowd. He was not too tall and had a thin build. The only thing worthy of praise was that he still had a little bit of scholarly quality.
"Nothing, just asking."
"No, you have been looking at Liu Tianle's father just now. There is something wrong with your eyes. There must be something, tell me quickly!"
"Haha, you can even detect this?"
"You think you can hide this from me?"
Zhao Jin originally wanted to make a joke, but unexpectedly, he was stared at by Song Qingru's eyes, with an expression that said, "If you don't say anything, you won't be able to leave."
"Haha, it seems impossible. I'm just curious about what unusual advantages that man has that can make a ghost give up the chance of becoming an 'immortal'."
"Ghost? Immortal? Are you saying that Liu Tianle's mother is not a human being?"
"Well, the most crucial part of the whole ceremony is Liu Tianle's mother. She is a third-generation ghost spirit."
"Third generation ghost spirit?"
Song Qingru gained a lot of knowledge today. She heard a lot of words that she had never heard before.
"The so-called 'three generations of ghost spirits' means that the ghost incarnated into different people three times, and took away the essence of three people to nourish their original corpses. The ghost became a spirit, which is the monster among ghosts."
Song Qingru nodded as if understanding.
"You can think of her as the kind of woman in the world who cheats on marriages. She gets a fortune once she marries someone, and she has to change her identity every time."
"Pfft, your metaphor is really... very appropriate."
Song Qingru was amused by this metaphor. The beauty's smile is very charming. Fortunately, Zhao Jin has good concentration. To be honest, we are all used to this kind of appearance (Zhao Jin Versailles smiles).
"Haha, that's pretty much it."
"It's just that I still have some doubts. It's so easy to become an immortal. All you need to do is cheat marriage three times. Doesn't that mean the streets are full of immortals?"
"Haha, it's not that easy. No matter how many lifetimes a ghost that only absorbs human essence goes through, it will never become an immortal. Only a ghost who becomes a human, understands the various conditions of the world, and does great merit can become an immortal. Otherwise, they are just more powerful ghosts."
"Liu Tianle's mother belongs to the latter? Could this life be her third life?"
If Song Qingru realized something, Zhao Jin felt a little sad.
"Yes, this is her third life. Such great joys and sorrows as giving away black hair from a white-haired person can best understand the various situations in the world. In this way, she only needs to continue to stay in this home and wait for Liu Tianle's father to die. , she can break away from the state of ordinary mortal ghosts and become a ghost fairy.
"Although this kind of ghost is just a fake ghost, it is the highest state that ordinary ghosts can reach. At least it can have some magical methods, unlimited lifespan, and is not afraid of yin and yang. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that she would do it for Resurrecting their child Liu Tianle and sacrificing the cultivation of her previous two lives and becoming an ordinary living ghost also means that the chance of her becoming a ghost fairy in the future is close to zero."
"It is indeed great. This is the most beautiful thing about us humans - love..."
Song Qingru also felt a little emotional. She was born into a wealthy family, and it was difficult for her to experience the most sincere emotions among human beings since she was a child.
"Haha, no wonder the gods in ancient times regarded 'love' as a taboo and called love the most dangerous poison in the world."
"Yes, even ghosts will become selfless after they have 'love'. In front of this greatest and most sincere quality of human beings, everything seems so small."
Both of them unconsciously looked up at the sunset gradually emerging from the clouds. In their eyes, it seemed that the sunset, which can be called the most beautiful scenery in the world, was far less than the beauty of human emotions.
"By the way, you said that after three generations of ghost spirits, they are just fake ghost spirits. How can they become real ghost spirits?"
After listening to Song Qingru's question, Zhao Jin pondered for a while before speaking slowly.
"Most ghosts and immortals are formed by actively practicing the method of refining ghosts. The more famous ones include "Taiyin Refining Method", "Returning Skeleton Method to Resurrection", "Nine Heaven Mysterious Girl Method", etc., all of which are used to refine souls and bring them back to life. , and after rebirth, they are not ordinary people, they look like ghosts and immortals, so they are called ghost immortals. Of course, there are very few people who are ghost immortals without practicing."
"Do ghosts and immortals really exist?"
Song Qingru was also very curious about the strange things in this world.
But this is normal. How can a smart person not be interested in uncovering the mystery of this world? For some people, exploring the mysteries of the world is the most alluring thing.
"I have never seen it, but I heard Uncle Song mention it. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Shi Yannian. He was upright and outspoken, good at writing and poetry. The most outstanding thing was that he drank a lot. He once drank with his friend Liu Qian in a restaurant. From then on, He drank from morning till night without changing his countenance. People in the Song Dynasty were kind and would not call them two hundred and five, but instead called him the Jiu Xian."
"Pfft, isn't this an alcoholic?"
"Haha, I think so. However, it is recorded in "Ou Gong's Poems": After Manqing's death, his old friends saw him and said: 'I am now a ghost fairy, and I rule Furong City.' If you want to call your old friends to visit, you can't. , suddenly rode a plain mule and flew away. He also landed at Yijuzi's house in Haozhou, and left a poem. One of the couplets goes: 'The sound of the orioles does not grow old with the spring light, and the shadows of the flowers always follow the footsteps of the sun.'"
"If what is contained in the book is true, wouldn't it mean that ghosts and immortals really exist?"
Song Qingru frowned slightly, as if he didn't believe it, but Zhao Jin laughed.
"Whatever, I heard from Uncle Song that the average ghost fairy can at most exert the strength of the upper three realms. We will know when we enter the upper three realms. There is no use thinking too much now. oh!"
"Oh? You are so confident. You are talking as if it is so easy to enter the upper three realms. Who are you? You just want to enter?"
Song Qingru couldn't help but laugh a little, but Zhao Jin smiled confidently, which was really heroic.
"That's not true. When I enter the upper three realms, it's like searching for something. You are the same. As my teammates, our goal is not just to stop at the upper three realms. Our goal is the sea of stars!"
"Oh? So awesome? Then you are really awesome!"
"Haha, I'm bragging about being 13!"
"Pfft, hahahahaha..."
After some jokes, both of them gradually got rid of the negative impact of the Liu Tianle family incident. Song Qingru looked at Zhao Jin's relaxed and happy back in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Yes, our goal is the sea of stars..."
Both of them are leaders among people, so how could they be willing to lag behind?
