"We can't be empty-handed...so what should we do?"
"We need to prepare for the ceremony."
"Ritual? Who are you preparing this ceremony for?"
"Didn't you say that the old lord only has a trace of his soul left in the statue of Emperor Wa?"
"...Can she also receive etiquette in this state?"
Xu Jiaohe's eyes combined with her three consecutive blank questions gave her a clear sense of stupidity.
You Wenyu tightened his fists hanging by his sides, turned around and thought about his background, that after all, he was deliberately raised in the backyard by his aunt, and had never even left the front door a few times until he was fifteen, so he forgave Xu Jiao. From time to time, He makes surprising remarks.
"Mother, the dead do not need etiquette, but there are still living people in the dream world, and we have to take care of their faces."
His tone was as patient and gentle as ever, but Xu Jiaohe could feel the subtle contempt hidden under the layers of disguise - that kind of contempt, as if a human had raised a cat and loved it countless times, but no matter how much it hurt, Unfortunately, he occasionally shows an arrogant look that is different from humans and animals.
Xu Jiaohe was a little angry.
She has always felt that You Wenyu is much more pleasing to the eye than Ji Ruotan. At least eight out of ten things will be done to her in a pleasant manner. Unlike Ji Ruotan, every time he looks at her, he looks like he is looking down at a group of people who cannot help him. Mud on the wall.
But at this moment, she suddenly realized how good Ji Ruotan was.
Because the attitude is the same from beginning to end, I don't have any expectations for him.
Unlike You Wenyu, any ups and downs would make Xu Jiaohe feel uneasy.
It's just that she can't lose some inexplicable temper because of some special knots in her heart.
Then he pretended not to care and said: "Oh, it's not easy to please the dead, but it's very simple to satisfy the living... There's no need to alarm others at Xuji Peak, just follow me back to Huaiyuan Peak. Let’s go to the treasure house to get some things for rituals.”
Xu Jiaohe made a face, and after saying these words, he opened the Lingbao ring and took out the teleportation talisman.
She broke the talisman and threw it on the ground. Regardless of whether You Wenyu followed or not, she raised her neck and walked into the teleportation formation.
The white light flickered, and as the wind turned and the fog shifted, the body radiating warmth was close to Xu Jiaohe's back, while maintaining the final distance just right.
You Wenyu looked at her red earlobes and asked calmly: "But what did Wen Yu say wrong that made Master Mu angry?"
"No, you are naturally considerate of everything."
The magic circle was transmitted very quickly, and You Wenyu was not allowed to say a few more words. After two breaths back and forth, he returned to the land they were familiar with.
The treasure house is neither in the outer courtyard nor in the inner courtyard, but is located at the end of the bamboo forest next to the bathroom.
Ordinary people who want to set foot in it must first pass through a nine-string universe formation set up by Ji Ruotan himself.
The bamboo forest is green and surrounded by dense forests, all high, low, wide and narrow.
Xu Jiaohe regarded this piece of greenery, which would cause confusion and turmoil in others' minds after looking at it for a long time, as if it were nothing - she and Ji Ruotan were Taoist couples who had formed a contract, and their consciousness of the spiritual platform had long been deeply connected. Apart from that, there was no way to enter. In the room he went to, Xu Jiaohe could set foot in any place in Huaiyuan Peak.
They walked for as long as a stick of incense before arriving at the treasure house.
During this period, no matter how much You Wenyu talked to Xu Jiaohe, Xu Jiaohe never uttered another word.
Xu Jiaohe stopped in front of a tall stone wall with two people at the end of the bamboo forest.
She turned into a gourd with its mouth cut off. She took off the hosta holding her hair in a low voice, pricked her index finger with the sharp end, then found the narrow groove between the jagged rocks and aimed at the Pisces bite ring pattern. , squeeze out a drop of bright red blood.
The dim seal pattern started immediately, and the light from light to strong began to rotate with a clicking sound.
Xu Jiaohe had no spiritual power and could not recover from even a minor injury.
Because she was in a bad mood, she acted carelessly, and the one she just struck was particularly deep.
Xu Jiaohe felt the strong stinging sensation on her fingertips, and her self-esteem, which was constantly being swollen by the violation, prevented her from opening her mouth to plead with You Wenyu.
Looking at the bleeding finger in front of him with some disgust, Xu Jiaohe opened his mouth and finally planned to take it into his mouth.
You Wenyu, who was always observing her expression and expression, was one step ahead.
Without thinking, he grabbed Xu Jiaohe's wrist, held her index finger with his other hand, and then a ray of healing blue light escaped from his palm.
"I'm not asking you to help me."
Xu Jiaohe's mouth was harder than his body. His fingers refused to let go of his healing skills, but his mouth refused to forgive.
You Wenyu was used to her cat paw scratching at him from time to time. When the wound was completely healed, he let go of her hand and said with sincerity: "No matter what I do for my master, my apprentice is willing to do it. No one will ever ask for it." My day.”
"..."
The extremely beautiful young man raised a pair of peach blossom eyes that were silent and affectionate. Those two gazes that never stopped for anyone focused directly on Xu Jiaohe's face. There was no deliberate expression of emotions, but it did not prevent everyone from believing in him. He was sincere at the moment.
Xu Jiaohe pursed her lips, looked at him for a few seconds, and only made an almost nonchalant hum from the tip of her nose.
The clicking sound in front finally stopped, and the stone door disguised as a rockery retracted in both directions, revealing a mirror-like barrier.
Xu Jiaohe was very familiar with this aura - every time Ji Ruotan performed a spirit transfer for her, it was the scent of this spiritual power that permeated his body.
She took out the Huaiyuan Token she carried with her and carefully placed it in the center of the barrier.
The faint light swallowed the token completely, and a coiled dragon suddenly appeared on the originally calm mirror plate. The golden vertical pupils woke up the moment they looked at Xu Jiaohe, and swam in a circle with teeth and claws. Then he spat out a breath of burning dragon breath towards Xu Jiaohe.
"ah!"
Xu Jiaohe hid her face and took half a step back when she was caught off guard, almost falling into You Wenyu's arms.
Seeing that the prank was successful, the dragon and the barrier disappeared together, revealing the real treasure house space.
"It's so annoying! It's like this every time I come here!"
Xu Jiaohe straightened the hem of her skirt with a gloomy look on her face, carefully looked around twice, and then walked in.
She has only been here a few times, and even if she took charge of Huaiyuan Peak, she would never think of it.
There are two reasons. One is that the guardian spirit of the treasure house likes to bully the weak and teases her several times every time he sees her.
The second most important point is that all the treasures piled up here are registered and reported to the Yunxian Sect. They are not allowed to be misappropriated or sold easily. If they are discovered, they will be imprisoned in water for three days and three nights at the least, and whipped in the worst case - no matter what The delicate and expensive Xu Jiaohe couldn't afford it.
But it’s different now that it has serious uses.
The gift given during the ceremony represents the face of the Yunxian Sect.
Swords, guns, swords and axes, calligraphy and painting scrolls.
Pearls at night, tears of mermaids.
The Xumi Vase of Heaven and Earth, and the Ruyi Ruler of Ten Directions.
…
Numerous rare and rare treasures that even Xu Jiaohe was named were displayed in it, exuding a dream-like brilliance.
She casually picked up a glass lamp from the ancient shelf, admired the floral patterns engraved on the lampshade, and asked You Wenyu on the other side in a stiff tone: "You know the most, tell me about those mysterious things." What do people in the dream world like?"
"Master, this soul-inducing lamp you have is very good."
You Wenyu said, "If Mengshi uses the spirit control technique to enter the path of immortality, no matter living or dead, human souls or demon souls, they can refine them into weapons with huge lethality. This soul-inducing lamp just happens to be able to Ingesting souls below the golden elixir stage within a radius of one mile is a magic weapon that Ru Mengshi has been searching for for a long time. Master, your spiritual roots are not yet opened and your soul is unstable. Be careful of being sucked into the lamp by it."
This seemingly small and beautiful object actually has such terrifying abilities?
Xu Jiaohe was speechless and quickly put it back on the shelf.
She suddenly remembered Ji Ruotan's mother's title, and said tentatively: "The name of Ancestor Xuanling..."
"Ye Tang, the first generation lord of the Dream World, the ancestor of Xuanling, and Ji Huaizhang, the Taoist Master of Chenghua, are known as the two outstanding heroes. It is said that the most powerful soul under her is comparable to the Mahayana realm of human monks. If When fighting, you can hang behind you and open up the heaven and earth."
He controls spirits like a dream, does not reject humans and demons, is both good and evil, and is feared by other sects.
If it weren't for the rumors that Ye Tang didn't save his natal soul before abandoning the Tao, but instead kept it in a tower like a dream world to act as a guardian, according to the mediocre ability and scheming of the second generation Lord today, it would be like a dream world. It is impossible to continue to maintain a transcendent status in Xiaodongtian.
You Wenyu reviewed the news about Rumengshi in his mind, then turned around and picked out another suitable magic weapon on the ancient shelf to the east.
He looked at Xu Jiaohe, who had been silent for a long time, and asked, "What is Master's wife thinking about?"
"Is it the magic that can be released to make people look like mountains?"
Xu Jiaohe asked, his eyes wandering, apparently lost in some reverie.
"Yes, this is a high-level spell that can only be used by immortal cultivators at the penetration level and above."
You Wenyu was a little surprised that Xu Jiaohe, who rarely cared about cultivating immortal arts, could describe the functions of heaven, earth, heaven and earth so clearly.
Soon, Xu Jiaohe, who was caught up in the memory of the past, gave the answer: "I remember that the day I met my husband seven years ago, he was the one who chased the demon all the way to the backyard of the Minister's Mansion, and the demon pinched my hand. The neck made the husband leave the yard, but he injured one arm."
"Then the demon roared angrily, flew into the air and turned into a huge black mist. My husband then transformed into magic, heaven and earth, and fought with him."
Xu Jiaohe thought that the way she was crying and shaking into a ball was too embarrassing, so he injured the demon and grabbed her and flew her up, trying to smash her into a meat pie, but she was hugged by Ji Ruotan the moment she fell. The scene of being rescued in the arms is omitted.
"The devil who kidnapped you was supported by the previous devil."
You Wenyu didn't even raise his eyes, skipping all the topics related to Ji Ruotan, and only picked out an insignificant truth to tell Xu Jiaohe.
"You said that the last demon king... has only been seven years. I am still alive, but he is dead?"
"Yes, during the second war between humans and demons, he was seriously injured and did not recover for a long time. He was ambushed by his master a few hundred years later in the human world."
"But he has suffered so many sins and deserves to die."
The depths of the treasure house were getting darker and darker, and Xu Jiaohe was too lazy to go in again.
She turned back to the brightest part of the entrance, looked at the two pots of white jade ever-burning lamps made in the shape of epiphyllum, and said casually: "Thinking about it this way, it is interesting for the monks in Xiaodongtian. The demon clan has one black mist, and a pair of black mist. , the nose is not a nose, the eyes have no eyes, it looks really boring.”
You Wenyu originally wanted to tell Xu Jiaohe, who was talking nonsense, that the demons' tricks were more bizarre and unpredictable than those of the Dongtian monks. The corners of his lips raised halfway up, and he suddenly thought of a certain casual but crucial truth in the other person's words. His expression froze, and then sank slightly.
After waiting for a long time, before You Wenyu could reply, Xu Jiaohe curled his lips and turned around to study the pattern of the eternal burning lantern.
The two of them had their own thoughts, working in tandem and going in opposite directions. Although the atmosphere became cold, no one said anything to break it.
Time passed bit by bit, but there was no sign that You Wenyu was getting better soon.
The Bogu rack blocks each other's sight, and only the occasional sound of footsteps can be heard.
Xu Jiaohe felt tired from standing, so he simply moved the Grand Master's chair made of ten thousand-year-old agarwood from the west side of the treasure house, sat down and read the storybook by the light.
But before she opened the book, her unconscious peripheral vision suddenly spotted a small door on the side of the flower pot close to the wall that could be flexibly opened and closed.
Xu Jiaohe opened it gently, and a cylindrical book was stuffed inside.
If you put these two things together, won't you be afraid that the fire will burn the book?
Xu Jiaohe looked strange and took it out, only to see three thin gold characters written on the unfolded cover -
"Shocking Sword Book".
