Chapter 542: Nine Turns Soul Attracting Lamp
Even if she doesn't say it, Gu Kai won't publicize this matter everywhere, otherwise what if his father asks him to hand over the bag?
However, he and his little aunt have only known each other for a day, and she gave him such a generous meeting gift, and the second brother and the sixth brother must be similar.
He guessed well, Shen Yizhi gave Gu Heng and Gu Wei very generous gifts, and the other princesses and princes were not thin.
Only the crown prince and the sixth princess Gu Yi only got one Dongzhu.
Hmph, who told them to offend her? That's how she holds grudges.
For those who are kind to her, she doesn't feel distressed no matter how many things she gives, but for those who don't deal with her, she feels a loss even if she only gives one Dongzhu.
If it weren't for the plastic kinship on her face, she wouldn't have bothered to give it.
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Gu Xueting did not take Shen Yizhi out of the palace, but took her all the way to a palace that looked a little dilapidated.
- Mingyue Palace.
Seeing this name, Shen Yizhi guessed why Gu Xueting brought her here.
This palace should have been where his mother lived back then, right?
"My mother has something for you." Gu Xueting pushed open the red-painted door and led her inside.
Shen Yizhi was surprised: "Give it to me?" β
Gu Xueting curled her lips: "My mother's original words are-Ting'er, when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, help me give this to her, I hope she can like it." Isn't your daughter-in-law the same now? β
I see.
Shen Yizhi couldn't help but look forward to it, Gu Xueting's mother, no, what gift did her mother-in-law prepare for her?
Gu Xueting led her through the overgrown front yard and the dusty front hall to the backyard.
There is a plane tree growing here, and the palm-sized dead leaves are spread layer after layer on the ground, and the bottom is rotten and sinks slightly when stepped on.
Coming to the tree, Gu Xueting recalled the location where he had buried such a thing back then, took out a shovel, and began to dig the soil.
Shen Yizhi also wanted to help, but he stopped him: "It's good for me to come, I didn't bury it deep back then, and it will be fine soon." β
Sure enough, a few shovels went down, and when they dug again, they came across a hard object.
Gu Xueting squatted down and picked up the things.
A small box, when I picked it up, I had a smell of earth.
Shen Yizhi helped Gu Xueting clean up the box.
To her surprise, it turned out to be a wooden box, still wood-colored, but there was a sound of gold and iron when it was struck.
It depicts a cat, a tree, and a few leaves, and the strokes are very childish and clumsy, as if they were made by children.
And Gu Xueting's words also verified her guess.
He stroked the painting on the box, "This is what I carved when I was five years old, I secretly took my mother's eyebrow pencil, and when my mother found out, she beat me." β
Shen Yizhi sneered, she finally knew where Qingbao's naughty energy came from, and the feelings were inherited from his father.
Gu Xueting opened the box, which was mostly filled with children's toys, and one of the piggy banks in the shape of a piggy bank attracted her attention.
Wouldn't she, be so lucky? Another artifact was actually sent to her on the initiative to do so?
That's right, this little piggy bank is an artifact in her perception!
Is it that artifacts are too proliferating these days, or is she too favored by artifacts?
"Is this piggy bank a gift from your mother?" Shen Yizhi asked.
Gu Xueting was slightly stunned, and scratched her nose with her fingers, "How come?" How could my mother give you an ordinary piggy bank? β
Shen Yizhi leaned on his back from behind and pressed against his face: "This piggy bank is not ordinary at all!" It's an artifact. β
"Artifact?"
"Uh-huh."
Gu Xueting smiled, realizing that she was talking about it very seriously, so she hurriedly stopped laughing, "This is what I picked up from the cold palace when I was a child." β
What kind of luck is this, he can pick up an artifact from the cold palace.
Shen Yi admired.
She kissed him on the ear, "I want this piggy bank." β
Gu Xueting was silent.
Shen Yizhi thought that he was unwilling to give, in addition to having a loss of hope, he was more remorseful, this was a piggy bank that carried his childhood memories, how could she speak?
Alas, it's all because she was carried away by the artifact.
As a result, in the next moment, she spun around, and was pressed against the trunk by Gu Xueting, and then she was drowned by his overwhelming kiss.
After a long time, Gu Xueting parted her lips and smiled rustling in her ear, "What's mine is yours, if you know that you want it, you don't have to open your mouth, just take it away." β
Oh! That's a foul deal!
But it is undeniable that Shen Yizhi felt a bubbling fountain of honey in his heart after hearing this.
"In order to reward our Royal Highness King Chen for such enlightenment, I agreed to the request you made before."
"What do you wantβ" Halfway through the words, Gu Xueting reacted, looking at her eyes with burning eyes, and wishing that she would receive the reward now.
Shen Yizhi was seen by him and stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, "You haven't told me yet, what gift does she want to give me." β
Gu Xueting pulled her hand down and kissed her, led her back to the box, handed her the piggy bank she wanted, looked inside again, and took out a small and delicate lantern.
How small is it? It's not as big as Gu Xueting's fist.
It seemed to be carved from the teeth of some kind of demon beast, layer upon layer, she counted it, and there were actually nine layers, and the innermost layer was only the size of a grape.
Each layer is as thin as a piece of paper and is meticulously painted.
Even after being buried in the ground for so many years, it is still white and shiny, beautiful and clear.
Shen Yizhi was pleasantly surprised, "This lamp is so beautiful!" β
She took it cautiously, for fear of breaking it.
Gu Xueting smiled: "Don't worry, this lamp is very strong, I used it as a ball to play with when I was a child, and there was nothing wrong with it." β
When the ball is kicked and played? Excuse meοΌ
Shen Yizhi was shocked, and tried to press it on the lantern, but it didn't move at all, and it didn't break like a piece of paper as she thought.
She grew stronger, but the lantern remained as stubborn as a stone.
"Really. But how does this lamp turn on? β
She looked left and right, up and down, but she couldn't see a place to light the lamp.
Gu Xueting: "You try to lose some spiritual energy." β
Shen Yizhi gave it a try, and the inner light of the innermost layer the size of grapes lit up, but the light was only a little bigger than a bean.
It's daytime, and the light is inevitably inconspicuous.
Gu Xueting put the box into the space, "Let's go." β
Shen Yizhi turned off the light, but still played with it in his hand.
"By the way, does this lamp have a name?"
Gu Xueting thought for a while, "I remember that my mother seems to call it 'Nine Turns Soul Attracting Lamp'. β
"Nine turns of the soul light? This name is really a bit strange, could it be that this lamp is used to attract souls? β
"Maybe it's the ghosts in the underworld who guide the souls of the dead." Gu Xueting joked.
"Haha, it's not impossible." Shen Yizhi felt that his guess was quite reliable.
