795. Round white jade
Due to the experience of the last time, Ye Jingjing didn't want to take a long detour this time, so she asked the abbot directly, "Abbot, do you have anyone locked up here?" Say he's got some strange symbols or something like that......"
The abbot shook his head, "This is a temple, not a dungeon, how can it lock up people?" β
"Is there anything in the temple lately? Strange, it also has the lotus symbol of the temple on it......"
The abbot shook his head, "If there's anything too much, it's just some of the dishes we ordered a few days ago." β
Ye Jingjing had seen those bowls and plates a long time ago, and there was nothing special, and they didn't collide with her bracelet, so they were ruled out early.
"What does this ubiquitous symbol represent?"
She looked at the lotus pattern everywhere, and only felt a headache, and really wished that there was a cheating system like a game, so that he could hurry to the next step.
After living in the temple for a few more days, she still didn't get anything, and Ye Jingjing also changed from high morale at the beginning to a lack of interest later.
She was about to memorize the internal structure of the White Pine Temple, but she found nothing.
Emperor Qianling and others were in the same situation, Zhaoyu and Qi Wushuang even went to find the craftsmen who carved these patterns back then, and there was nothing special.
Seeing that every day was in vain, Ye Jingjing looked out the window with her cheeks sadly, and muttered, "Tuanzi, Tuanzi, if you really pity me for working so hard, hurry up and give me a hint." β
However, the dango seemed to be dead, and they had been silent since they came to Baisong County, and even brainwave communication did not appear.
Just when Ye Jingjing felt that the future was bleak, on this day, Baisong County finally ushered in a sunny day.
I thought that since I set foot here, it has been a rainy day every day, and I have not seen this bright and warm sunshine until today.
Ye Jingjing suddenly ran out of the house happily like an underground mole who had not seen the sun for many years, standing in the courtyard to feel the sun.
However, when she saw the shadow on the ground, Ye Jingjing suddenly didn't have the mood to praise the sun, and hurriedly screamed, "Emperor Qianling!" Come out of here! β
Almost at the same moment as the words fell, Emperor Qianling flew out of the house, as if facing a great enemy, "What's wrong?!" β
He also thought that Ye Jingjing had encountered some danger to scream like this.
Fortunately, the monks are chanting sutras now, and no one passes here, otherwise the real name of the emperor's tomb will be exposed.
Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu also hurried over, and everyone looked at Ye Jingjing's elated appearance, looking at each other, feeling that she didn't seem to be in danger.
"Look at the shadows on the ground!" Ye Jingjing pointed to the shadow and was excited, "I haven't noticed that only the stone here has been carved into that lotus pattern, and it is hollowed out!"
"In this way, the sun shines through, and there will be a complete lotus symbol on the ground. If my judgment is correct......"
She lay on the ground and tapped lightly on the floor, and sure enough, everyone heard that the ground was empty.
"Looks like we're looking for something right down here!"
Ye Jingjing said as she rolled up her sleeves.
"Come and find some shovels, we'll dig three feet into the ground and find something!"
Emperor Qianling hurriedly stopped her, "This is someone else's temple, if you want to dig something, you have to get the consent of the abbot." β
As he spoke, he gave Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu a look, the two nodded, and hurriedly went, and came back after a while, still holding a shovel and a pickaxe in their hands.
The abbot agreed, and only asked us not to disturb the Buddha. He said he was going to bring someone to help, but we stopped him, after all, we didn't know what was hidden underneath, if it was a monster...... I can't explain that to the abbot. β
Emperor Qianling nodded, it should be like this, "Okay, you two get out of the way." β
With that, he gently pushed Ye Jingjing, Qi Wushuang also let Zhao Yu aside, and the two big men began to chisel the stone slabs on the ground.
Ye Jingjing originally intended to be with them, but due to the lack of tools, she could only watch the play on the side.
Suddenly, everyone heard a "dang long" sound, as if the pickaxe had hit something hard.
Qi Wushuang also sighed, "It seems that we have dug up something good." β
Emperor Qianling didn't talk nonsense, and dug the hole in three or two clicks, revealing the items hidden in the soil.
The moment they saw this thing, even the well-informed Ye Jingjing and Emperor Qianling let out an exclamation.
It was a round white jade, about the size of two fists. This piece of jade is snow-white and flawless, and most importantly, it is so round that Ye Jingjing wonders if this thing will be a handicraft carved by others.
Qi Wushuang took out this round piece of jade, and the expression on his face was very incomprehensible, "This is too round, and it is so delicate...... I've never seen a white jade like this. β
"It's not just you, I haven't seen it either." Emperor Qianling said with a frown. "But there is no lotus sign on it."
"I'll see."
Ye Jingjing snatched the jade from his hand, and pointed it at the sun like a blessing, and sure enough, there was a surprise discovery.
In the sunlight, the inside of this piece of jade was faintly visible, and there was a small round bead inside, and on that bead was the lotus flower pattern they were looking for.
"That's it! Now we just need to break open this white jade! Ye Jingjing said excitedly. Although it's a pity to destroy it, such a good jade, even if it is broken, it should be worth a lot of money, right? β
Emperor Qianling scratched her nose with a smile, "Little wealth fan." β
"Who in this world would have trouble with money?" Ye Jingjing stuck out her tongue and said.
"Your husband is the king of a country, don't you still worry about having no money to spend?" Qi Wushuang quipped.
"In life, you always have to prepare for both." Ye Jingjing replied casually.
She regretted it as soon as she said it, as if she were ready to run away with her gold and silverβand in fact, she did.
Emperor Qianling paused obviously, Qi Wushuang and Zhaoyu were not fools, they could hear what Ye Jingjing meant, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"Ah, let's take a look."
In the end, Zhaoyu broke the silence, she took the round white jade from Ye Jingjing's hand, used enough internal strength, and only heard the sound of "pop", and several cracks appeared on the white jade.
Zhao Yu pinched it with his backhand, and the white jade immediately shattered, revealing the beads inside.
This bead is red all over, but the lotus pattern on it is white, and if you look at it suddenly, it looks like glutinous rice balls.
Ye Jingjing took the beads and touched her bracelet, but she didn't react like last time.
