Chapter 3: Artifacts of the World
The sun is setting, the light in the room is gradually dimming, the incense wood in the incense burner is still burning, and the curling green smoke fills the confined space, exuding bursts of faint and rich fragrance, with a kind of sweetness that makes people sink in, and it is intoxicating.
The bed under the curtain also gradually fell silent, Ruoxin was buried in the heavy brocade quilt and satin, still with her eyes closed, breathing lightly, and her consciousness was slightly drowsy, as if she had fallen asleep. Love raised the futon to cover Ruoxin's beautiful bare back, and then gently hugged her to her chest, adjusting her posture to make her lie as comfortable as possible.
Gently brushed a few strands of sweaty long hair stuck to Ruoxin's cheeks behind his ears, and looked deeply at Ruoxin who closed his eyes and was sleeping, although the person being watched did not respond, his gaze was always reluctant to leave.
The two skin were close to each other, but they could never warm her body, Ruoxin was still as cold as a stone. Even during the affair, her body temperature did not change in any way.
In such a cold winter day, with a temperature like ice, ordinary people could not bear it, but the love was to stick Ruoxin tighter and let her body temperature slowly iron her skin. Even if it was just useless work, he didn't let go in the slightest.
Time passed slowly, and the room was finally dark, Ruoxin was still lying quietly, without the slightest sign of sobriety, and Qingzhi finally noticed that something was wrong.
She had been here ten times in the past month, and each time she had always gotten up and left after the matter had been done, without a moment's delay, as had never been the case today.
Qingzhi propped himself up, looked down at her, and called softly, "Ah Li." After screaming a few times, she didn't hear an answer, Qingzhi reached out to support her shoulder, shaking it gently, but Ruoxin still didn't respond at all. Suddenly I thought of something, and my heart shook violently, and my hand stiffened slightly. After a long pause, he held his breath and slowly reached under Ruoxin's nose with a trembling hand.
At this moment, Ruoxin let out a long breath, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"It's so late?" Looking at the darkness around her, Ruoxin whispered, raised her head slightly, and touched the hand of Love that stopped above her mouth and nose, she turned her head slightly, she couldn't see Love Zhi's expression in the dark, she could only hear his disordered breathing, "What's wrong?" โ
After being silent for a long time, I heard the voice of Love's hoarse and slightly trembling voice, "You just ...... I can't wake up ......."
Sensing the unresolved tension in the words of love, Ruoxin was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly, as if to soothe the atmosphere, and said, "Maybe I'm a little tired." Scares you? Although my body is a little colder, I will not suddenly be a cold corpse lying next to you. โ
The dark light concealed the anxiety in the eyes of love and the eyes of heavy fear of losing something. He clenched his hand that was pressed against the bed, almost stiff to the point of being unconscious, and smiled faintly, "Yes......"
Ruoxin sat up, felt the clothes at the end of the bed and slowly put them on one by one, and then got out of bed and lit candles at the table.
The candle flame flickered slightly, and the room brightened up faintly, dispelling some of the tension in the previous darkness. Ruoxin went to the basin to wash up, then sat down in front of the mirror table, and rearranged her hair in a bun.
Her pale and paper-like complexion was reflected in the faint yellow bronze mirror, which was really a bit eerie.
Ruoxin remembered Fang Cai's dream. Maybe it shouldn't be a dream, it seems that Bai Ruoyin's divine consciousness entered her mind. After all, it's the same soul, and it's not a difficult thing.
Bai Ruoyin told her something in a dream. In another eight months, Bai Ruo will be born because the child in her womb will be born, and when the child's soul returns to its place and the ability to support her appearance is lost, she will no longer have the possibility of appearing in a physical form. Bai Ruoyin told her that if she really wanted to become a complete person, she must find the four artifacts recorded in the ancient books of the Bu clan before the child was bornโthe Rosary Bead, the Black Wood of the Imperial Ghost, the Soul Suppression Stone, and the Mirror of the Gods.
Ruoxin frowned slightly, these things were indeed recorded in the forbidden book of the Bu family, but few people knew where they were in the world.
In the memory of Bai Ruoyin in her mind, the only specific thing she got was the information about the Soul Stone, which is said to be able to gather people's souls and reshape their bodies, which were collected in the Kelan Kingdom, but now they are hidden by the Dongheng Royalty. It is said that in order to awaken its power, it needs to be fused with the essence blood of the Kelan Divine Envoy, otherwise it is just an ordinary stone. It's just that Dongheng Ke Lan has always been hostile, and Dongheng doesn't want it to fall into Ke Lan's hands again.
The no rosary, which is actually a sacred relic of the Bu clan, is said to be a few bead-shaped bones left behind after the death of the first priest of the Bu clan. It's just that although the rosary is a sacred relic of the Bu family, it was lost when the Bu family fled the capital more than a hundred years ago. And how to find it?
Royal ghost black wood, recorded in ancient books, it grows in the ghost city of Kelan, and has the ability to resist ghosts. However, the ghost city of Kelan has long been a dead city, the legend is that there are hundreds of thousands of dead souls in the city, because there is a ghost black wood to suppress the siege of the city, but at night, it is dozens of miles away that you can hear the terrible and terrifying ghost howl in the city, no one dares to approach within a radius of a hundred miles, there have been bold people to go, but there is no return. There are indeed a few pieces in the world that have been heard of in the world, which can suppress ghosts and drive away evil spirits, and the current Guan family in Wanchun County is one of the few owners, but I don't know if it's true or not.
As for the last mirror of worship, it is really confused, only its name, but there is no record.
Does she have to find these things if she wants to live?
For such a difficult thing, it is better for her to give up directly.
Ruoxin looked at the somewhat blurry bronze mirror, looked at the image of herself still in the mirror for a moment, and smiled slightly.
Give up? But she has endured even the ten years she has been a priest of the Bai family, she has also passed the autopsy method when she was forced to a dead end, and in order to retain her consciousness as Bai Ruoxin, she has worked hard to get rid of the master's technique to awaken Bai Ruoyin's memory in the soul, and now let her give up, but she is unwilling.
Unwillingly, she still wants to live......
After bunning her hair, Ruoxin got up and took the long cloak on the side and draped it over her body. The heavy curtains of the bed were hung up, and the love was also up, and he was slightly draped in a light coat. Under the faint candle flame, the love that is only delicate and delicate seems to have a detached temperament.
Ruoxin looked at him for a long time, and said, "I'm going to the capital, but I won't be back in a short time, you are willing to go with me." โ
