Returning to Qiongju Enclave, Jing Yingrong first went to visit Luo Qi.
Luo Qi still only used water to entertain guests.
"You came just in time. I repaired a few fragments of the scrolls in the past two days. When I went to find you, I found out that there was an accident during the trial event and you haven't come back yet."
Luo Qi handed the repaired fragment of the jade slip to Jing Yingrong. After Jing Yingrong read the contents, he chinned slightly and put it away.
Then, she gave Luo Qi the classics she obtained from Venerable Luan Mo's storage ring.
Luo Qi was so happy that he held the book and immersed himself in it, regardless of the reflection in the mirror.
Jing Yingrong looked at the dummy simulating the exercise for a while, then said goodbye to Luo Qi and left. Luo Qi didn't even raise his head and said, "Okay, walk slowly."
After coming out of Luo Qi's cave, Jing Yingrong thought for a while and instead of going back to his cave, he diverted to Jingui City.
Seeing the tear box from a distance, Jing Yingrong was stunned for a moment.
Several craftsmen were removing the plaque with the words "Tear Box" on it, and a lot of things had been done to the shop.
Jing Yingrong unconsciously quickened her pace, walked to the door, and asked one of the craftsmen: "What are you doing?"
The craftsman was a little impatient at being disturbed. After turning his head and seeing the reflection in the mirror, his attitude softened a little and said: "We are renovating the house. What, girl, are you okay?"
Jing Yingrong: "Did shopkeeper Wang ask you to do it?"
"Shopkeeper Wang? Are you talking about the previous shopkeeper here?"
"Before?" Jing Yingrong was startled.
Seeing Jing Yingrong's expression, the craftsman seemed to understand something and said: "The previous shopkeeper of this shop sold the shop to Shopkeeper Liu. It was Shopkeeper Liu who hired us to rebuild this place."
He recalled it and added: "It wasn't that long ago, just half a month ago. Shopkeeper Liu has been thinking about the appearance of the new store for a long time, so we just started construction today."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Jing Yingrong did not answer, the craftsman asked smoothly: "Girl, are you here to buy something from the previous store?"
Jing Yingrong shook his head.
She looked at the store that had changed drastically. The shelves that were once full of pearls were lying on the floor, and the counter where she usually stayed had been moved to the corner.
There was an inexplicable thought in those dark eyes.
"Mirror girl, mirror girl."
Someone suddenly shouted next to him.
Jing Yingrong turned around and saw that it was shopkeeper Zhou from the grocery store next door.
Shopkeeper Zhou waved to Jing Yingrong, gesturing for her to come over and talk.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, what's going on?" Jing Yingrong walked closer and asked.
Shopkeeper Zhou sighed and said: "You just came back, don't you know? A few days after you left to participate in the outer sect trial, Lao Wang received a message that his child was missing. Got it!"
Jing Yingrong lowered her eyes and raised them again: "Did someone rob you?"
Shopkeeper Zhou: "I don't know, and it's not convenient for me to ask, but looking at him like that, I guess" he shook his head and sighed repeatedly, "it's more dangerous than good."
Shopkeeper Zhou added: "At that time, he came to me in a hurry and said that he wanted to sell the shop, breeding farm and cave, and raise spiritual stones to find a child. He said that he couldn't wait for you anymore, and wanted me to say sorry to you on his behalf. , and asked me to tell you that the remuneration you had not had time to settle last month, as well as the spiritual stones obtained from selling the jewelry you made, were all deposited with Deacon Zheng in the city office. You go to Deacon Zheng, Once you prove your identity, he will give you the spirit stone."
Jing Yingrong nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhou."
Shopkeeper Zhou waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, go ahead."
Jing Yingrong walked towards the office.
Ji Jie Bi said: "It's a pity that you haven't come into contact with that child, otherwise, you can find it, right?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
Ji Yanzhu: "It's probably that religion that did it. I don't know who the puppet they raised is."
Jing Yingrong suddenly said: "At that time, the blood talisman should be let go."
Ji Yanzhu asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"Because you can follow them to their lair."
The one who answered was Ji Sha Jian.
Ji Jie Bi sighed: "Indeed, I missed a good opportunity. But I couldn't have expected that such a thing would happen."
When she arrived at the office, Jing Yingrong found Deacon Zheng. After showing her identity token, Deacon Zheng handed a small storage bag into her hand.
"The details and spirit stones are inside, you can check it yourself."
After Deacon Zheng finished speaking, he went to do his own business.
Jing Yingrong put away her storage bag and returned to the street, looking at the bustling crowd. There was no expression on her face, but there was something more than complete indifference.
She was in a daze for a long time.
When we returned to the cave, night had fallen.
Jing Yingrong once again sat on the bank of the bay.
It's another full moon.
The sound of the rising and falling tide echoed in my ears, quiet and peaceful.
She rested her chin on her knees and looked at the bright moon, motionless.
Next to it, a sea crab climbed up, its small eyes staring straight at the mirror.
One of its pincers disappeared.
After a while, Hai Crab crawled up to Jing Yingrong, next to her, facing Yao Hai.
One person and one crab cuddled together like this until it was almost dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and fell onto the sea, the sea crabs began to move towards the bay.
It climbed halfway and suddenly found that the crab claw it had broken had grown back. It shook its newly grown pincers, and its horizontal trajectory suddenly became chaotic.
With a "plop", it rolled into the water of the bay.
Jing Yingrong stood up.
Ji Jie Bi said: "Do you still think the moon looks like a pearl?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah."
She paused and then said, "It's like something else."
Ji Jie Bi smiled lightly.
"What are your plans next?"
Mirror Yingrong didn't answer. She thought for a moment and suddenly looked towards the bay.
As she thought, four things rose from the bay.
They were the four oysters that Wang Zhengde had given her.
Ji Yanzhu asked in surprise: "Have you grown so big?"
After Jing Yingrong brought the four oysters back to the cave and put them into the bay, he didn't give them much care except building fences to block sea monsters and cleaning up debris deposited at the bottom of the bay. Compared with the carefully handled mother oysters in Wang Zhengde's pearl farm, it is not an exaggeration to say that these four mother oysters are wild.
It stands to reason that a mother oyster grown in this way is lucky to survive. There is no hope that it will grow well, let alone give birth to fine pearls.
However, at this moment, the four mother oysters suspended in mid-air were all two times larger than ordinary mother oysters. Not only is the body huge, but the outer shell is also shiny and full of aura.
Jing Yingrong looked at the big tree in front of the cave door, then at the fence at the entrance of the bay, and then explored the aura and nutrients contained in the water in the bay.
She was silent.
Then, Jing Yingrong used his spiritual consciousness to inspect the insides of the four oysters.
She said in the sea of consciousness: "I want to cultivate pearls."
