Chapter 174: Money Cow
The beads held in Xiao Zhen's hand are a very rare material in mirror making, called corpse pills. Xishuang had only seen drawings in ancient records, and ordinary cultivators couldn't use such materials for refining their natal mirrors, and she hadn't deliberately looked for them.
"Cultivators know that the natal mirror is innate, and although some people cultivate earlier or later, it is actually difficult to change the destined appearance. Xishuang raised her head and looked at Xie Anzai, "But your natal mirror is a variable, an ordinary crane mirror was clicked by a master, and it became a long-lived and wealthy mirror that can turn evil into good fortune for you, not only the appearance is exactly the same, but even the instinct of the mirror body is the same." ”
After Xie Anzai's natal mirror passed through Su Zhancha's hand, it became a state of two mirrors in one, which was even rarer: "You mean that the corpse pill can change the natal mirror that a cultivator was originally destined to do." ”
"The corpse pill is said to be a treasure condensed from the ancient corpse that has not rotted for thousands of years, and the ancient corpses that have not rotted for thousands of years are very rare, and it is lucky to meet it once. Where did these few in your hand come from?" Xishuang understood that Xiao Zhen, both emotionally and physically, had reached the verge of collapse as soon as possible, and no one could use words or actions to stimulate them, so they could only guide them slowly, "Is it something you already have in your body?"
Such a question, even the well-informed Gan Wangmei did not dare to ask it directly. Xishuang not only asked, Xiaozhen hesitated, but also nodded in agreement.
"When did you start to find out that these hateful things are produced in your body?" Xishuang chose in her heart, whether Xiao Zhen liked or hated this rare thing, and soon she chose disgust, and she wanted to get rid of it, and she was powerless to recover the kind of tiredness that she couldn't do can also destroy a person.
"The second year I was taken back by my mother. Xiao Zhen looked down at her palm, the beads were not beautiful, and she didn't know what to do. But each time the mistress spit out the beads, she carefully put them away in a wooden box. Once, she couldn't help but ask her mother, why did such a disgusting thing come together?
Qin Yunxing's answer still remembers her, these are Xiao Zhen's treasures, they exist together, and one day they will be returned to you together, which is also a kind of thought. ”
"So, you don't know it's a corpse pill, right?" Xishuang's speech was slow, and Xiao Zhen listened carefully to every word, for fear of answering the wrong question, "The Xie family's housewife didn't tell you in detail." ”
"No, the mistress doesn't say, and I don't ask. Xiao Zhen handed her hand in front of Xishuang, "If you want it, you can take it, I don't want it." It was the head of the Gan family who made an abrupt move just now, and I struggled, not because I was reluctant to do this. ”
"Corpse pills are precious. Xishuang thought of the most difficult period in the past, and he couldn't even make up the spirit stones for paying the rent, let alone this rare thing that was worth thousands of spirit stones. Xiaozhen is poor and generous, and she can't even go back home, so she says that if you give it away, you will give it away, "This is yours, I don't want it." ”
"What I have is, I gave it to you this time, and I will spit it out next time. Xiao Zhen made a gesture of vomiting, "Once in two or three months, I'm not in a hurry." ”
"In two or three months, you can vomit so much. Xishuang took her hand and counted them, there were seven in the palm of her hand, although they were of different sizes, they were all corpse pills, "I saw in the book that after the corpse pills left the body, they would gradually emit a special smell, probably to prevent them from being corroded quickly. ”
"There's an indescribable aroma, an aroma that I don't really like. Xiao Zhen was defenseless against Xishuang, one hand was pulled by her, and the other hand helped count, "The housemother said that the incense was right." ”
"What else did your housewife say?" Gan Wangmei couldn't hold back, what Qin Yunxing was going to do, what was she going to do, and as a result, she put her life into it. All these years, all these years, don't talk about corpse pills, even a living adult like Xiaozhen has been kept in the dark. What do you say, Qin Yunxing and the Gan family have always been friends, but there are too many secrets hidden under this friendship.
"Just let me vomit every time, I can't miss a single thing, and I have to give it all to her, otherwise it will be seen by others, and it will not be good. When Xiao Zhen said this, her face was very ugly. She forgot all the words that the master mother had told her, and she was not being seen by others at this time! Except for the young master, these two were all outsiders.
"It's okay, you know to say it, and useful clues can find the murderer of my mother's relatives. Xie An felt a little stuffy in his chest, did his longevity and wealth mirror be exchanged for it in this way? Who kept asking for it, squeezing it on Xiao Zhen, and she didn't know it at all.
"Young master, my mother has taken care of me, I can't say it. "Xiao Zhen's innocence is even more dazzling in the eyes of everyone, these years, picking people up from Tianxiu Town and raising them in the Xie family is really to prevent her from coming out to harm people?
"She's gone, so to speak. Xie An stretched out his hand and patted the top of Xiao Zhen's head. Despite being older than him, Jane looks more like a child.
"But I've told you all I know. Xiao Zhen was recognized by Xie Anzai, and babbled that there was no trace of the time when she could spit out the corpse pills, and it was customary to do it once every two or three months. For half a year, there was no movement, and she thought that she would never vomit these uncomfortable things again, but it didn't go as she wanted.
"Although the corpse pill is rare, it can only be effective in the hands of someone who can use it, and if it were given to me, I would not use it. Xishuang knew her strength, "I wonder if Senior Su will use it?"
"Tampering with other people's natal mirror mirror body is a taboo technique, if you don't get it right, you will get the mirror master, Su Zhancha is too self-controlled, and she will not damage herself for strangers, not to mention that when Xie An came out of the natal mirror, Su Zhan Cha was in the period of suspended animation, and she did not show up. Gan Wangmei quickly calmed down, if the Xie family and his wife exchanged the corpse pill for the safety of their only son, it would not be considered a hurtful thing, her reaction just now was a little too radical.
"I always thought that my mother was sympathetic to her and pity her, so she raised her at home. Xie An found that her hands were trembling a little, according to what Xiao Zhen said just now, how many corpse pills did she have to spit out, and where did all these things go?
"After raising it for all these years, it is already goodwill that it is painless and disaster-free. As soon as Xishuang's words came out, Xie An turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were grateful. Xishuang can always use a sentence when he is in the lowest mood to make him stand up again.
"What I spit out won't hurt, right?" asked Xiao Zhen as she leaned over to Xie An.
"It doesn't hurt people, it can save people. Seeing that Xiao Zhen was a little frightened, Xie An hurriedly reassured, "If you can still spit out these in the future, you can take it yourself, and don't give it to others easily." ”
"Can't you give it to the master of the family?" Xiao Zhen tilted her head, looking puzzled, "You can also give it to the young master." ”
"Put it away yourself, these can be exchanged for spirit stones that will allow you to live in peace. Xie An had a feeling that no matter how things developed, Xiao Zhen would not return to the Xie family again. Now that she is separated from the Xie family, she needs to find a place to settle down and live, and these corpse pills are her best possessions.
"What the young master means is that I can't go back, I can't go back to Xie's house!" Xiao Zhen was extremely sensitive to this issue, "Did I do something wrong, so I was expelled!"
"Don't say stupid things, it's not that you can't go back, even I can't go back. Xie An showed a sarcastic smile, "The two of us are outside, who have you seen looking for it?" These days, I have understood a truth, you and I are already the outcasts of the Xie family. ”
Xishuang couldn't listen to it, so she came over and dragged Xiaozhen away. Xiao Zhen, in turn, was not worried that Xie An was there, and twisted her hands to break free. Xishuang clenched her wrist very tightly, and only when she reached the corner did she ask, "Where did you put your father's spirit card?"
"In the house, I don't need it right now. Xiao Zhen replied while glancing at Xie Anzai from the corner of her eye, "Have you found that the young master is weird, if he really wants to go back, the head of the family will definitely agree." ”
Xishuang sighed softly, probably only Xiao Zhen still didn't understand that the head of the Xie family was no longer the one in the past. With the same exorcism and different hearts, Qin Yunxing's death seemed to have swept away all the kindness in his body.
"The main thing is to go back, and it is not difficult for father and son to work together to find the murderer. "Jane still swears.
Xishuang couldn't help but ask, "What if the murderer is in the Xie family?"
Xiao Zhen gritted her teeth and said: "You mean, if the mole kills the master's mother, then it is even more unforgiving, and the head of the family can be punished with family rules." ”
Xishuang weighed left and right, and did not say the other half of the sentence that came to his mouth, what if the murderer is the head of your family? This is the reason why Xie An is reluctant to go back, his father killed his mother, so that he could not go back to face his biological father.
"Family Master, do you need to ask that Senior Su?" Xie An took a corpse pill in his hand, he didn't have the slightest impression of this object, that is to say, this is the first time they have met. It's amazing that his mother was able to hide the secret under his nose for so long.
"It's okay to ask, but I'm afraid she doesn't want to say. Xishuang saw that Su Zhancha had always kept herself out, and now she was willing to stay because the Gan family could provide her with a lot of good resources, and she didn't find a better place to stay. As long as the turmoil in Liyupu intensifies, the Gan family will not be able to maintain the status quo, and Su Zhancha will leave with an indifferent face.
"I don't need her hands too much, I'll just ask two questions. Gan Wangmei took the corpse pill away, "I'll go and meet her in person, hoping to give me a little thin noodles." ”
As soon as she left, Xiao Zhen shrunk her shoulders and arched to Xie An's side: "Young master, are those things I just said bad things?"
"Very good, if you don't tell us all the time, we won't be able to guess for ourselves. Xie An also had a corpse pill in his hand, "How many spirit stones can be exchanged for such a one?"
"Hundreds, even thousands. The material of corpse pills is very cherished, and if the other party can use it, it will soon come a second and third time. "Xishuang probably calculated, "It is recorded in the ancient books that there are many places where the corpse pill is used, but they are all high-end techniques, and I can only look at it from afar and have no way to start. ”
"How old are you, even Senior Han has praised you as a rare genius in mirror making, and you can be regarded as self-taught. Over the years, I've heard only you. Xie An knew that the corpse pill was very valuable, but when he heard hundreds or thousands, he was still stunned. It turns out that Xiaozhen is not an adopted daughter in the Xie family, but a cash cow that can walk.
