"Master, you just want me to peel the shrimp?"
As the host of Gufengshan White Jade Temple, the delicate little fairy Qianyong has never seen any kind of scenes or learned any kind of quirks, but the young man in front of her with black hair like the night and eyes like stars, is so demanding. Simple and unique.
"That's right, I want you to help me peel some shrimps, what? You can ask for anything, right?"
There was no smile in Lu Ran's eyes, and his tone was as calm as water.
The delicious meal on the table in front of him suddenly reminded him of that sun-scorched afternoon two years ago.
After he narrowly escaped death in the cabin, on the golden ship, he also faced such a banquet table that he had never seen before.
At that time and now, he thought of his grandpa equally.
Grandpa always likes to tell him with a smile while eating, Lu Ran, in the future you will marry a beautiful woman who can peel shrimps for you while eating. That will be great, and Grandpa will be able to smile. Just close your eyes.
When Lu Ran was a child, he felt that "finding a woman who can peel shrimps" was so difficult. It might be harder than catching a big fish alone in the sea. It might be harder than saving ten years of money to buy a big boat. Maybe it was The hardest thing in the world.
But today, it's just a casual joke.
Destiny, fate, what exactly is it, what is it going to do, and why is it here?
Lu Ran fell into some kind of thought.
He is homesick.
Hui Huan smiled when he saw Lu Ran making such a request that was both unreasonable and unexpected, so he asked another fairy Bai Hui to help Lu Ran peel the shrimps. The two fairies were confused and were busy for a while. Finish peeling a pot of fried jade krill on the table.
But Lu Ran didn't eat a bite.
They only drank a few glasses of Gufengshan's rice wine with Huihuan. The two agreed that Gufengshan's "white jade brew" was far inferior to the "jade red spring mud" brewed by the proprietress He Rouyu herself.
After an hour of this appointment, Xu Fang finally led Fairy Baiyu over, and the four of them wandered to a side hall decorated with jade and gold.
Xu Fang's face, which had been serious since the beginning of the Grand View, has relaxed somewhat now. This must be the result of Fairy Baiyu.
The White Jade Fairy now changed into a black embroidered robe, which was the same color as Xu Fang's Taoist robe. This way, she seemed to match Xu Fang better. The White Jade Fairy lightly opened her jade lips and invited the two of them to sit down.
"Did you bring the things?" Xu Fang got straight to the point.
Xu Fang looked at Lu Ran, but saw Hui Huan taking out the [Mountain Capture Jade Tablet] and the red jade beads from his arms.
Lu Ran explained that as Kezhizi was Huihuan's sword servant, Huihuan was the one who really liked Kezhizi, so Huihuan should take over Kezhizi's affairs.
Xu Fang said that he couldn't understand, but Fairy Baiyu smiled and said: "You have misunderstood me. These two are a couple."
Lu Ran and Hui Huan were both surprised. Logically speaking, it was the first time for the White Jade Fairy Girl to meet the two of them. She had never met Ke Zhizi before, but now she suddenly hit on this important point.
And she said "these two people", could it be that Ke Zhizi was also in this room?
Xu Fang explained with some worries at this time: "Although Fairy Baiyu is not from the Jade Clan, she is a person who knows jade. And the magic of the Jade Clan is that the soul of life has been destroyed, but the soul of Nianhun is still there. But they will all be stored in these jade bead fragments, so the White Jade Fairy sees the beads as she sees people, but I don’t understand, how can you young people behave like this?"
Lu Ran said, "What a mess, I think you think too much. I just like Ke Zhizi's beauty."
When Hui Huan heard this, he almost fell off his chair.
Lu Ran added: "Anyway, Ke Zhizi is matched with Hui Huan. I, Lu Ran, have to wait a little longer."
Hui Huan couldn't help but joke: "Wait for one more person to peel shrimps for you. Aren't there already two outside?"
Lu Ran chuckled: "Wrong, I have to wait for one, and I am willing to peel shrimps for her."
Hui Huan thought this sentence was a bit clever, but he was speechless for a moment. At this time, Xu Fang saw that the two of them were about to go off topic, so he hurriedly reminded: "Speak of business, speak of business."
Xu Fang took the jade token and jade beads from Hui Huan's hand and handed them to the White Jade Fairy. The fairy took them carefully and held them in her hands for a long time. She couldn't help but admired: "What a beautiful two pieces of jade, they are worthy of the 'Jade Clan'." "
Xu Fang's expression was always full of reluctance, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Please take good care of the things left by our ancestors."
After Xu Fang said this, Hui Huan became anxious. He stood up, clasped his fists and asked, "Master Xu Fang, I think Ke Zhizi's jade beads should be kept by me."
Xu Fang looked at Hui Huan with a strange look, and then the strangeness turned into approval: "Sure enough, your boy does value friendship more than Lu Ran, but these two things must be temporarily placed with Xiangu. Can Zhizi Resurrection depends entirely on Fairy Girl’s research.”
"resurrection?"
Hearing the word "resurrection" in Xu Fang's words, Lu Ran and Hui Huan were shocked and almost asked the question in unison.
However, there was no trace of confusion in Xu Fang's eyes. He cleared his throat, twisted a "Void Jue", and said clearly word by word: "Next, let me tell you two, about the Jade Clan, this A secret that few people in the world know.”
The two of them held their breath and listened to Xu Fang's eloquent talk about everything about the "Jade Clan".
The history of the Jade Clan can be traced back to hundreds of thousands of years ago. The Jade Clan and the ancestors of mankind, the "ancestors", lived together on the mainland. Then, an unknown number of thousands of years later, the ancestors accepted God's will and began to cultivate immortality. They discovered the secret of the Jade Clan, that is, every Jade Clan, no matter how ordinary they are, possesses the "immortal life" that our ancestors have spent thousands of years practicing to achieve. In other words, they have the ability to live forever. As a member of the Jade Clan, after your body dies, you only lose your life soul. Your soul and soul will exist on a fragment in your body. After some special ritual or spell from the Jade Clan, you can be resurrected completely.
So the ancestors, the first batch of immortals, began to study and suppress the Jade Clan. On the one hand, they found a shortcut, the so-called "Jade Liquid", which can greatly increase the power of cultivation and To shorten the training time, on the other hand, they hope to pry open the mouths of the Jade Clan people and tell them the methods of "immortality" and "resurrection". However, the chief of the Jade Clan and a group of elders have long understood the intentions of the ancestors. They chose to bury and destroy the secrets, but because of this, the entire Jade Clan led to the mass capture and massacre of not only the ancestors but also almost all the "Ten Innate Clan".
Five thousand years ago, the population of the Jade Clan was depleted, and at the same time, no one in the clan knew the so-called "resurrection" method.
Three thousand years ago, large-scale settlements of the Jade Clan were no longer visible in various public places, and the two religions had begun to obliterate the existence of the Jade Clan.
Thirteen hundred years ago, Xu Fang left the last village of the Jade Clan with the jade token given by the clan leader and began practicing in Huanjiao.
A thousand years ago, Xu Fangxiu became a true immortal and began to search for the remaining Jade Clan and the secret of their "immortality".
In the past thousand years, it was not until recently that Xu Fang actually met the second Jade Clan in the world, Kezhizi.
The appearance of Ke Zhizi reactivated the [Mountain Seizing Jade Tablet]. Thousands of years later, Xu Fang pursued hard, doubted himself several times, and finally had to give up the pursuit of the "Jade Clan".
finally.
Restart.
Some people died, but not completely...
