sword sentient beings

Chapter 458 Messenger

In the jar that Tang Zhao carried with him lay a golden stone whose origin he did not know.

It was taken from a coffin floating in the air. It was hidden in the coffin lid by a woman who had turned into white bones. It was only the size of a pearl, but it exuded a radiance that Tang Zhao's sword elephant could not reach.

Although Tang Zhao didn't know it at all, he knew intuitively that it was a very important thing, so he cautiously put it in the jar.

The incident was private enough that there were probably only two witnesses.One is alive, which is Tang Zhao, and the other has been silently reduced to bones. If she knows, she may know that the things she hid at the end of her life were left to Tang Zhao.

Even the white fox doesn't know.

At first, Tang Zhao speculated from the words engraved on the coffin asking Dongjun for help that the person in the coffin might be related to Dongjun. Later, he confirmed the woman's origin after hearing Baihu's guess. grasped.

The gold powder, which claims to be able to expel shadows and maintain a floor for several months, is almost exactly the same texture as that stone.

Just don't look at the small size of the stone, but compared with the dust scattered on the lampshade, the size difference is like the contrast between the sun and the earth, or even the sun and the moon.

Tang Zhao even suspected that the fine dust was not scraped off with some kind of tool. After all, it is easy to scrape thickly if you scrape it casually. If you can't scrape such a fine powder, there must be a special treatment method.

If these gold powders are really so miraculous, they can deter everyone from approaching them at a little bit. If they can find a way to decompose this stone into fine dust and scatter them evenly in every corner of this world, maybe Can it really wash away these stubborn and indelible darkness?

Can?

Tang Zhao vetoed the idea he had just raised.

If you can do that, why didn't the woman with bones do it in the first place?
The stone was originally hers, and she is familiar with all kinds of operations. The gold powder here may have been scraped off by herself, and she felt remorse in her heart. If there is a way to save Bai Yujing, even if it is to save the fairies in Bai Yujing, why would she lie in the coffin with her hands tied and leave quietly?
Of course it couldn't be saved at that time!

So she hid the stone, although she intended to entrust it to future generations, but it shouldn't be for people to take the stone back to rescue Bai Yujing, and there are other uses?

The first thing Tang Zhao thought of was the token.

Thinking about the woman's origin, the answer is obvious...

While he was thinking, the white fox asked: "You mentioned Dongjun again, where is Dongjun here... huh?"

At this time, she also remembered the white bone. She had guessed with Tang Zhaoti before, and said, "Could it be that Dongjun envoy you are talking about? You said that this lamp belongs to her?"

Ah Qin thoughtfully said: "You mean sister envoy? Envoy Dong Jun, I have met."

Ling Baoyu originally thought that Tang Zhao was just guessing, but when he heard what Ah Qin said, he was shocked and said, "What's going on? How did you meet her before? Tell me about it."

According to the time, when the envoy of Dongjun came, the disaster had already arrived, and Aqin was the only one in Bai Yujing who was playing hide-and-seek. He shouldn't have seen that person, right?
Ah Qin said: "It's nothing, I met it by chance. It was that day, the day when the disaster happened. The weather was very bad that day, and it was as dark as a crow's feather. I don't know what His Highness and aunts are busy with, so I just thought I was looking for someone to play with as before. But I remember it was so strange that day, I couldn’t find anyone to play with me, as if everyone had disappeared. I was very angry, so I looked around for someone, just around here, from a distance When a sister walked by, I didn’t see who it was, so I called, ‘That sister, let’s play hide and seek together?’”

"She stopped, and when she turned around, she turned out to be a sister she didn't know. She was very good-looking and had very bright eyes. I was a little embarrassed, and when I was about to speak, she stared at me and said, 'Hide and seek?'"

Having said this, Ah Qin suddenly stopped, his expression suddenly changed.

Ling Baoyu immediately thought that the enemy was coming, and hurriedly pricked up his ears to look around, but found that no one came, he was relieved, and said, "What's the matter? The sudden change of color?"

Ah Qin stuttered: "I didn't notice it at the time. Her face was so scary. When I recalled it just now, I thought of her face. How could there be such a scary expression? I really didn't understand anything at the time." .”

She shook her head again and again, and continued:
"I was very happy and said: 'Yes, hide and seek. I hide, you come to me. Okay? Let's not play for too long, if you don't have time...' She laughed and said: 'Okay, I will accompany You play hide-and-seek.' I was so happy at the time, but now that I think about it...she laughed so terribly at that time, as if she wanted to kill me."

Ling Baoyu couldn't believe it, and said, "She wants to kill you? Why?"

Although she has always hated Dongjun, she also thought that Dongjun was not worthy of his name and dragged his allies into the water, but she never doubted the fact of "allies". After hearing what Ah Qin said, it seems that this woman has a fundamental problem with her position?

Can't it?Not to mention the certification of His Highness, it is the name Dongjun, so there is always some guarantee, right?
On the contrary, Tang Zhao was not surprised.

When he saw those messy words of regret, he had many guesses, and this was just one of them.

Ah Qin panicked and said, "I don't know. I just noticed it, and I didn't notice it at all. I was such a fool at that time! I asked her: 'Sister, I haven't seen you before, you are a newcomer to Baiyu. Is it from Beijing?" She replied: "I come from outside, from a far, far away place. If I tell you about that place, you won't know." "Where do you want to hide?" At that time, I was in front of Qianqiu Building, so I said casually: "Just Qianqiu Building. I hide, you come to find. I don't go anywhere else, I'm in the building. You come to find me , Find me before the sun rises and you win." She laughed, well, she smiled beautifully at this time, I remember. She said: "Okay, you stay in the building, don't come out. You are a good boy , if you can’t say it, you won’t come out.’”

Ling Baoyu was slightly awe-inspiring, and listened to this conversation with a standpoint. It was Ah Qin who walked before the gate of hell.

That woman must be sneaking around in Baiyujing to do something bad, just happened to meet Ah Qin.At that time, she showed her murderous intent, most likely because she wanted to kill Ah Qin to silence her, because Ah Qin was really innocent at that time, she had no doubts at all, and she was willing to hide in Qianqiu Building by herself, so she escaped with her life.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was reasonable. With His Highness's ability, even if he couldn't resist the two, why did he bring everyone together to proclaim himself, and he couldn't escape?
It turns out that there are ghosts inside, and the inside should cooperate with the outside.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help grinding her teeth, wishing she could crush that woman and tear Dongjun's body into pieces.

Ah Qin said: "I went to the Qianqiu Building with her. I stood inside the door and she stood outside the door. I said, 'Sister, you can only look for me when the sun goes down, and you can't look for me when the sun rises.' Then I won. Don’t play tricks on winning or losing.’ She said she knew, and then asked me if there was any food or drink in the building? I said no, it’s only a dozen hours before the sun sets and rises. I'm already a swordsman, and I'm fine if I don't eat or drink for a day or two."

"She shook her head and said: 'No, although the sun will set soon, it may not rise again for a long, long time. The length of day and night is fixed, it has been like this since ancient times, sister, why don’t you even know this?” She squatted down, looked at me, and said: “No, who said that things that have happened since ancient times must be Is it justified? What has been happening until today may not happen after tomorrow. I know that the sun will set and never rise again, because I came from the sun and I am the messenger of Dongjun. But you don’t know .Come on, take another look at the sun.'”

"I'm very puzzled, the weather is so bad, where can I see the sun? I looked in the direction she pointed, and it seemed that I saw a hazy light among the clouds. It was the shadow of the sun. It didn't make sense, so I didn't I saw it. She touched my head and said: "See it clearly. I hope you can remember it after a long time. You are the one who has seen the sun." Well, I am such a fool, I just think her words are weird, but I don’t Didn't ask her. It would be nice if I asked a few more words."

She repeated several times that she was a fool, and it was obvious that the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.

Ling Baoyu sighed: "If you ask a few more questions, you might have died at that time. So she really came here, and this lamp may belong to her. This woman... this woman..."

She turned her head to look at Tang Zhao, and said, "You said she regretted writing herself on the coffin later? What kind of regret? Is it regret for doing something wrong? Or regret for not killing us all?"

Tang Zhao shook his head and said, "Maybe it's all...or maybe it's because I was deceived that I regretted it?"

At this point, the story is almost over. Ah Qin said: "Later I hid in the Qianqiu Building. Instead of waiting for her to come to me, I waited for the black shadow. The black shadow chased me and ran, and I hid. I couldn’t hide it, so I had to merge the reflection in the end, and it has been like this for more than 100 years.”

There was a certain silence in the room, as if shadows from outside had invaded the room.

Because of her status, Ah Qin couldn't really get a glimpse of the real picture of the disaster, but the fresh perspective she provided did outline the other side of the accident.

The shocking change that can drag the entire Bai Yujing into the water, the water is really deep.

Tang Zhao murmured, "Miss Ah Qin, you and Miss Ling asked me to come in to discuss, do you still want to change back to the original form?"

Ah Qin said: "That's not it...I'm like this, I probably can't change back. And my situation is not the most important thing now, the most important thing is to go to Miyagi, to Yutang, and see if I can find His Highness. If I find Can you wake up your highness? I'm just... I've only been incorporeal for a long time, can't touch, can't eat, I don't look like a human at all, I don't look like a sword... I'm just a swordsman. I don't know What can you do, even make a sword?"

She talked a bit incoherently, Tang Zhao didn't understand what her appeal was?
Do you want to seek a future, to see if you can cultivate to a certain level before returning to reality?
She looks a bit like a phantom. Although Tang Zhao doesn't know that line of work, but he has a friend from a spiritual official, he can ask Senior Feng for the cultivation method of spiritual appearance. I wonder if it can be used universally?

Ling Baoyu said: "She wants to have an entity, she doesn't have to hide in the mirror anymore, and she can move around freely. She also wants to touch the clouds again, step on the ground, taste the candies... I think so, if I want No one can reverse the time and restore the original appearance. I heard that you rune sword masters have the ability to upgrade and downgrade the texture of materials, such as water and fire conversion. Can you convert her into entity?"
