After liking the dishes and chopsticks, Luo Qingyun tidied up the room and then felt tired. She went to the back room to take a nap as usual and sent Xiang Shu to go out and play by herself.
Xiang Shen was so happy that he was about to find a secluded place to sort out his situation. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by a group of children when he went out.
The lead child was eleven or twelve years old, and he didn't say anything about the birthmark today. "Luo Shu, come with us to hide and seek!"
After saying that, the other two girls couldn't help but pull Xiang Shu towards the entrance of the village, chattering along the way.
There were many adults walking around on the road, and sometimes they would look at him and smile knowingly. Xiang Shu could only suppress his thoughts of running away and continue walking.
"Where should we go to hide and seek?" The children were still discussing where to go.
"Of course we're going to the Empress Temple. It's so fun there and there are so many places to hide."
"You still dare to go to the Empress Temple? My father found out last time and whipped me with a bamboo whip several times when he went back. I won't go!"
"Then if you don't go, we will all go!"
"Then next time my dad hits me, you have to come over and speak for me."
"It's a small matter, I will definitely help you."
"..."
Xiang Shu listened absently, but not long after leaving, her eyes suddenly focused on the brand new earth temple at the entrance of the village.
Empress Temple?
She has clearly never been here before, so how can she have a subtle sense of connection with this mortal temple?
She put away her casual attitude and gently touched the girl in yellow next to her, "What kind of temple are they talking about?"
When the girl in yellow heard Xiang Shu's words, her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "You don't even know about the Empress Shu Ji Empress Temple?"
Xiang Shu's expression was slightly stagnant: "Xian Ji?"
"Your mother must have named you Luo Shen because of Empress Shen Ji. Didn't she tell you?"
The girl in yellow looked at Xiang Shu strangely.
Xiang Shen shook her head. Luo Qingyun had never mentioned this to her.
The girl in yellow pretended to sigh, "Then I'll tell you what to say. Empress Shi Ji is an immortal. My mother said that a long, long time ago, she used a very, very huge door to block the entrance of the underworld demon. Entrance."
The girl in green clothes on the other side also said: "My mother also said that if it weren't for Empress Shen Ji, all of us mortals would have died long ago, so our family has always offered incense to Empress Shen Ji."
The girl in yellow was immediately unconvinced when she heard this, "My name also has the character "苼" in it, and my family is the most respectful to Empress Shi Ji!"
"My father goes up to the mountains to hunt every day, and the food he catches must be placed in front of the statue of Empress Shen Ji before he eats it!"
"I...I...in short, my family is better than yours!"
"My family is even more powerful!"
"..."
The two little carrot heads quickly started fighting, and the other children quickly came over to start a fight. Xiang Shu took the opportunity to leave.
She ran quickly and came to the earth temple. Seeing no one around, she opened the door and went in.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiang Shu smelled a strong scent of sandalwood.
The temple was often cleaned, and it was very clean. She walked to the statue on the front, took a look at the incense burner full of ashes, and then looked up at the statue of the Empress.
...Nothing like it at all.
However, from the description given by the girl, the so-called "Empress Shen Ji" should be her.
Xiang Shen frowned slightly.
When the word "Devil of the Underworld" comes out of a child's mouth, doesn't it mean that people from the Underworld have already come?
How long has passed since her reincarnation?
Back then, her cultivation and ability could not be compared with that of the puppet sect leader who established the Boundary Gate back then, but she used the Four Extremes Forbidden City that had been accumulated for an unknown amount of time. No matter how fragile it was, it could at least last for a thousand years. .
Dongzhou...thousands of years have passed?
Xiang Shen felt sad. Doesn't it mean that 99% of her old friends have turned into a handful of loess.
While thinking, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps outside the door. Xiang Shu woke up immediately, jumped on the table and hid behind the statue.
Not long after, the door of the earth temple opened, and two people came in, one old and one young.
Xiang Shu took a closer look through the gap and saw that both of them were mortals. She recognized the old man as the head of the village; the young man had a strange face and an arrogant expression, as if he had an unusual status.
"Sir, the incense ashes for the past two days are here."
With a trembling voice and awe, the director laboriously moved a big bag in front of the young man.
"Yes, your village is very respectful to Empress Shi Ji."
The young man showed a satisfied smile and handed over a bag of silver. "Continue to preach your faith. Remember to keep it secret and don't be discovered by practitioners. Do you hear me?"
"I understand."
The headmaster nodded hurriedly, then hesitated for a moment, and asked in a trembling voice: "Sir, if we do this, will we really not suffer retribution? If Empress Shen Ji gets angry..."
"presumptuous!"
The young man interrupted the chief sternly, "I am the envoy of Empress Shi Ji in the Thousand Stars Palace. I am doing this to spread the name of Empress Shi Ji to all corners of the country. How can I be repaid? You old man can't speak. Just shut up."
The head of the village was as silent as a cicada, sighing in his heart.
The young man took the incense ashes and left quickly.
The commander turned his back, lit a bunch of incense again in front of the incense burner, knelt down with his hands clasped together, and murmured: "Empress Shen Ji is merciful, I have no choice but to forgive you..."
After paying homage to the headmaster, he felt much better and slowly turned around and walked out of the temple gate.
With a soft bang, the earth temple door closed again.
Xiang Shu came out from behind the statue, squatted down, and rubbed the stained incense ashes, feeling clear in his heart.
She was still thinking just now that people in the cultivation world should know a lot about what happened back then, but everyone in the secular world also knew about it, which was a bit abnormal.
You must know that there are different territories in Dongzhou. After all, she told Shuang that she was half a disciple of the Blazing Flame Sect. How could Qianxing Palace allow her name to be spread wantonly in the world?
Now when I look at it, it turns out that someone is using her name to practice incense.
This matter is probably inseparable from Qianxing Palace.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand, and a wisp of incense seeped out from the ashes and swam around her fingertips.
Xiang Shen's eyes flickered.
After all, the name of the other party's incense practice was borrowed from her. The real owner of these incense is still her. She can completely put a thought on these incense to isolate the other party's practice.
However, after thinking over and over again, Xiang Shu did not do so.
Firstly, although Xianghuo's cultivation was fast, there were many constraints, and she had never planned to take this path; secondly, if she really interrupted the other person's cultivation, her existence would immediately arouse the other person's suspicion.
She had just recovered her memory, and her cultivation had not yet returned to its peak state. It would be unwise to actively involve herself in the trouble now.
He left the earth temple quietly and returned home avoiding the eyes and ears of adults.
It was almost midnight when Xiang Shu arrived home and saw Luo Qingyun squatting by the well choosing vegetables. She immediately ran over to help.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiang Yu came closer, Luo Qingyun frowned, "Did you go to the Empress Temple?"
Xiang Shen was startled for a moment and said honestly: "We went to hide and seek, but they got into a fight halfway. I haven't been to the Empress Temple, so I took a look."
"Don't go there again next time."
Luo Qingyun did not blame, but whispered: "That place is not good."
Xiang Shu's heart moved slightly, "But mother, they all say that Empress Shuan Ji is a great hero, how can the Empress Temple not be so good?"
"Mom didn't say anything bad about Empress Shenji. It's not Empress Shenji who's bad, it's..."
Luo Qingyun's tone paused, then she looked helpless, "Anyway, remember, you must never go there alone without an adult, you know?"
"oh."
Xiang Shu responded obediently, secretly surprised in his heart. Does Luo Qingyun know about the incense ash?
There was no way to ask more about this matter, so Xiang Shu could only keep it quiet.
Lamp oil was expensive in the town, so with Xiang Shen's help, Luo Qingyun hurriedly finished dinner before dark. The two of them finished the meal quickly, and just as it was dark, they got into bed and rested.
In the darkness, Luo Qingyun's fingertips gently stroked Xiang Shu's obedient sleeping face, her eyes were as warm as water, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a long time, she fell asleep.
Just a moment after Luo Qingyun fell asleep, Xiang Shen, who was lying in her arms, suddenly opened his eyes and gently grabbed Luo Qingli's wrist.
After a moment, she frowned and took back her hand.
It is indeed the pulse of a mortal, but Luo Qingyun usually goes up and down the mountain, collecting herbs and hunting, and is extremely powerful. The pulse should be that of a strong person, but this pulse shows that his body is extremely poor and he will not live to be thirty years old.
How is this going?
Xiang Shen was puzzled, but he didn't dwell too much on it.
She has not yet resumed her cultivation. Once her cultivation level recovers a bit, it will not be difficult to cure Luo Qingyun.
…
Early the next morning, Xiang Shu ran out after breakfast and finally found a secluded place to sit down cross-legged and look at himself.
The body conceived by the Yuan embryo is very suitable for the soul, and the constitution seems to be extraordinary. She can feel that even before she has practiced, her strength is comparable to that of an adult.
Thinking of this, she thought, the blood ring emerged from her ring finger, followed by a flash of light on it, and she spit out a spirit measuring bead.
Holding this spirit-testing bead in his hand, Xiang Shu was stunned for a moment and laughed dumbly.
She was used to using the blood ring. She had not yet cultivated the true essence, so she could not detect the spirit beads just by using her thoughts.
However, if you want to know your own spiritual roots, you don’t have to rush it now. You can wait for a few days to practice and then test again.
Putting away the spirit-testing bead, Xiang Sheng stroked the blood ring, and a light flashed in his palm, revealing a incomplete triangular array.
"Deception..."
Xiang Shen stroked the surface of the formation disk with his fingertips, and immediately felt a sense of connection between heart and blood.
Her eyes suddenly focused. She recognized this object as its owner before reincarnation, but she did not expect that this relationship of ownership would still exist after reincarnation.
The formation plate has spirit.
Xiang Shen had this thought in his mind and touched the fracture of the array plate.
If the other parts could be found, maybe this array could still speak and tell her the identity of "Qingtian" and whether he was the same person as the puppet sect leader as she thought.
After thinking for a moment, Xiang Shu put away the formation disk and returned his thoughts to cultivation.
In this life, since she is still practicing "Flying Sword Art", she has no other better choice.
The killing sword and the flying sword given by the sword madman were both lost in the ghost stream. She specializes in the flying sword technique, and she still lacks a high-grade flying sword.
There are a lot of weapon refining materials in the blood ring. When the training comes to an end, she may be able to find a sect that is good at weapon refining to help her refine it.
All kinds of thoughts came to mind, and they were suppressed by Xiang Shen again.
Her hands shuttled like butterflies, skillfully forming a floating shadow of the seal.
If Si Wuyue were here, he would definitely be able to tell that this is clearly the fourth ancestral seal!
