Chapter 33: The Guilt of Guilt (1)
Zhu Qingheng listened to the Gu sisters' private words, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she gradually fell asleep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 When I woke up, the sunlight had already shone in through the window on the other side, just illuminating a gold wire eight treasure beaded bun obliquely inserted on Gu Yanchun's sideburns, and a pearl the size of a dragon's eye was embedded in the hairpin, which was shining brightly by the sun, but it covered Gu Yanchun's own demeanor.
Zhu Qingheng raised his hand to cover his eyes, and it took a while to get used to the light leaking from his fingers. She sat up, smoothed the hair that fell from her ears, smiled before saying a word, and then said, "Sister Chun's hairpin is really beautiful." What kind of bead is this, brighter than the candle flame in the night, it is really rare. ”
Gu Leqiu said with a smile: "It is said that it is a bead produced in Minghai, which is very rare here, except for Sister Chun's one, I haven't seen a second one." ”
Zhu Qingheng read the chapter of Minghai when he read "Mountains and Seas" in the past. Minghai is located in the extreme north of the Central Plains, before arriving through a wasteland, where it is extremely strange, sometimes in one day and night to experience the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sometimes half of the day is day, half of the year is night. There are places where even mortals who don't know how to spell can easily fly into the sky, and there are places where even Jindan monks will be swallowed by the quicksand there and never be able to come out again.
The book also says that although the wasteland is weird, there is still life. There was a tribe of people who called themselves the Enlightenment Kingdom, who fed on the soil, both men and women, and when they died, they were buried in the earth, but their hearts did not rot. One hundred and twenty years later, he became a human again. But because their hearts are an excellent material for refining magic weapons, they were slaughtered many years ago and no one has ever seen them again. There is also a group of people who claim to be the Night Soul Country, they are incarnated by death, but they are not sane like ordinary resentful spirits, but live like ordinary people. It's just that you don't have to eat, and you can't reproduce. According to the people of the Night Soul Country, the Wasteland used to have a moon as it did outside, and there was not much difference between day and night. More than a thousand years ago, the moon suddenly disappeared. Since the moon disappeared, the people of the Changyu Kingdom who once occupied the sky of the Wandering Wasteland have fallen into a long sleep. The wasteland has become even stranger.
The book also says that if the monk was lucky enough to pass through the wasteland, he thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he would be wrong. Although there is a word "sea" in the Minghai, what flows in it is not water, but a light blue thing like moonlight, which cannot be grasped by hand, but if the body falls into the Minghai, it is as if it is surrounded by water, and unless someone helps, it will not be able to get up again, and can only slowly drown in it. And the monk could not fly in the sky above the Ming Sea.
Later, someone came up with a way to enter the Minghai. The sea is like an ordinary sea, and there are many life creatures in it, among which the most common one on the seashore is an animal with green hair, three red eyes the size of a fist, and some ape-like animals, which are called Minghai monkeys. This kind of monkey often comes to the shore to ventilate, and although it is infinitely powerful, it has no mana and is very easy to subdue. It was skinned and wrapped around the outside of the ship, so that the ship would not sink in the sea. Because there is no sun and moon in the Ming Sea, it will absorb the light of the magic weapon, and dig out the blood-red eyes of the Ming Sea Monkey, which will shine in the air, and can also be used as a lantern.
Zhu Qingheng had heard that some monks had brought out some animals that looked like mussels but could not carry beads from the sea of Minghai, and let them mate with mussels, and the beads produced by the indigo mussels obtained were very special, and the effect of refining some elixirs was wonderful. However, Zhu Yunyan has never used them for alchemy, and Zhu Qingheng has never seen it, so he didn't know that the beads of the indigo mussel were so good-looking.
Zhu Qingheng said: "Ah, I have heard the name of indigo mussels before, but the beads they produce should be indigo, but I didn't expect them to exude a golden yellow light." It's so beautiful. ”
Gu Yanchun nodded and said, "I don't know how much difference there is between Minghai and ours, anything is interesting to take out." ”
Gu Leqiu said: "Sister Chun's beads are different from the beads produced by ordinary indigo mussels, Sister Chun, I'll take it down and show it to Sister Liu." Seeing Gu Yanchun nodded, Gu Leqiu took off the golden silk eight treasures bead bun and handed it to Zhu Qingheng, then put his hand on the bead, blocked the sun, and said with a smile, "Look." I saw that the bead was still as brilliant as before, and the golden light surging around it had not diminished in the slightest. Zhu Qingheng stared at the side, and carefully reached out and touched the beads with his fingers, only to feel that the fingertips were cold, no different from touching ordinary gemstones. It also released some spiritual power, and there was no fluctuation. I was still amazed.
In fact, if the bead only glowed, it would not surprise her so much. It is necessary to know that at this time the world has found the night pearl, known as "the day is like the star, the night is like the moon", and one of the treasures of the demon gate, although the bright moon pearl has great powers, but it looks like a few night pearls that have come out so far, it was presented to the first emperor, and then Li Tong, who was a strategist and cultivated merit by his side, discovered the strangeness of the bright moon pearl and found an ordinary pearl to replace the bright moon pearl. Later, Li Tong was hunted down and killed, and took refuge in the Demon Gate, which was beginning to take shape at that time, and Ming Yuezhu entered the Demon Gate. Although luminous beads are rare, there are always a few in the world, and to monks they are no different from ordinary gemstones.
And this bead embedded in the hairpin not only emits golden light on its own, but also has a flame-like substance flowing in the bead. It's cold in the hand, and there is no spiritual power fluctuation, I really don't know how this is formed.
Zhu Qingheng asked, "Is there any origin of the flame-like thing here?" ”
Gu Yanchun said: "It is said that it is born and raised. "Naturalist" also mentioned a few words of indigo pearls, saying that it has different colors, and most of them are indigo on the market, but the mussel keepers themselves can't count how many colors they can have. It boils when it enters the water, and it turns into ice when it enters the fire, which is mostly used for the refining of the immortals. ”
Gu Leqiu accosted: "I read Xu Yanke's travelogue before, which mentioned that he listened to the locals in eastern Mindong that thousands of years ago, dark clouds suddenly covered the mountainside, and several lightning bolts with the thickness of the bowl fell to the ground. The hunters and woodcutters on the mountain had the courage to go over to see, and they saw a white python that did not know how long it had lived and soared up to fight with the thunder, and then the white python fell to the ground from exhaustion, and was about to be split in two by a lightning bolt, but fortunately it should not be killed, and it happened that a monk passed by, and with a wave of his hand, the lightning was put into his sleeve. In order to thank the monk, the white python not only volunteered to be the monk's mount, but also gave a jewel to the monk. The orb was golden and shining, and the heat around it was churning, and the eighteen onlookers were dazzled by the light, and their hair and clothes were scorched. Giggled, "I don't know if Sister Chun's bead is related to the one mentioned in the travelogue, and it can be so majestic." ”
