Chapter 37: Lost and Regained
β¦β¦
Zuo Di put down the heart that had been hanging, and suddenly her legs became weak, and Li Qiao's eyes were quick and grabbed her arm.
Zuo Di shook his head with a smile, pulled his hand away, and sat on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Qiao took off the mask and sat next to her handsomely.
Wen Xiuwen saw that these two people were uninhibited, but he sat down with a hard heart-not as cramped as he imagined, but he felt quite happy.
The three of them sat on the ground with their backs to the night, and said loudly: "There is a bonfire, but unfortunately there is no wine and meat, otherwise it would be so happy!" β
Li Qiao said with a smile: "Next time, I will bring it next time." β
Wen Xiuwen nodded, he was still a little shy and embarrassed to speak.
Wait for the feeling of powerlessness to subside slightly. Zuodi drew the figure she saw on the ground, and said to the two: "This is what I saw, it seems to be a wooden character?" β
Li Qiao and the others looked at it carefully, and after a while, Li Qiao pointed to the figure and said, "The intersection in the middle is the Erjin Mansion we have been to, and it is also the center of Lingmen Village. I don't have any research on formations, and if this wasn't the formation eye, I really couldn't think of anything else. β
Zuo Di nodded: "I think so too." Alasβ" she sighed, "it took so much effort to turn out that there was still nothing of value. β
Wen Xiuwen, who had been silent for a long time, hesitated: "Looking down, this doesn't look like a wooden ......."
"How so?" Li Qiao asked.
Wen Xiuwen pointed to the horizontal road: "The wooden characters pay attention to horizontal and vertical, but the stroke drawn by the second lady is folded......"
Zuo Di nodded: "Indeed, this is the shape I saw, so in order not to mislead you, I copied it in a similar way." I thought it was because the fire wasn't straightened. β
Wen Xiuwen shook his head: "The fire on the right side is burning underneath, and the distance is the same as yours, and it has not moved." β
He stretched out his finger and added a tick under the word "wood", and said:
"Look, isn't that more pleasing to the eye?"
Zuo Di and Li Qiao looked at each other-
"Water?" They both exclaimed at the same time.
In the middle row was the fire that was burning on the left, and she was sure that there was no extra point, so whether it was the word "wood" or the word "water"β
"Just go and see!" Zuo Di jumped up and rushed towards the back of the village, followed by Li Qiao and Wen Xiuwen.
When they arrived at the end of the village, the three of them saw a pile of rubble and wood next to the last house.
Li Qiao stepped forward to look at it and said loudly: "Sure enough, I was almost deceived." β
Zuo Di and Wen Xiuwen stepped forward, and Li Qiao pointed to the pile of ruins and said: "You see, if it was an ordinary ruin, it should have been covered with dust a long time ago, but these rubbles and messy wood, only messy and not too much dust, must have been knocked down recently." β
Zuo Di squinted his eyes, so cunning!
Wen Xiuwen nodded frequently: "I think they must live here, and after the news leaked, they destroyed the traces, and then hurriedly moved to the middle house to hide people's eyes, the people behind this are really cunning as foxes." β
Zuo Di is noncommittal, no matter how cunning it is? It's not been discovered yet.
"Let's clean up this place and see if we can find anything." She said briskly.
The three of them were busy all the time, but fortunately, the remnants of the Zheng family were afraid of being discovered here, so they smashed it very thoroughly, and there were no big stones and broken wood, so it was easier to clean up.
Rao is like this, Wen Xiuwen is still tired and panting like a cow, and he was teased by Zuo Di, which is not as good as a female doll.
At this time, there was a slight light in the sky, they were busy all night, watching the sky turn bright, Zuo Di couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and if he didn't go home, he was afraid that he would have to go to the house.
- The ruins are finally cleared, revealing a large clearing. Unfortunately, nothing was found except gravel and wood. The broken wood was also used to build a house, not anything else.
Li Qiao and Wen Xiuwen sat on the ground, everything that should have been done has been done, and now there is no other way.
Zuo Di was extremely disappointed, he did his part, did he really get nothing?
After looking around for a long time, she was really helpless, she raised her leg and took two steps to the middle, and was about to say back in frustration......
ββSuddenly, a strong fluctuation suddenly surged in Zuo Di's heart!
She pressed her throbbing chest, looking for where the sudden sensation was coming from.
Zuo Di cautiously moved his steps towards the center of the clearing, and as he moved forward, the feeling of palpitations became more and more intense, and finally turned into a fierce desire.
Li Qiao and Wen Xiuwen watched Zuo Di move slowly step by step strangely, and were just about to ask, when they suddenly saw Zuo Di pointing to a place on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Here!" This is it! Quick, help me dig it up. β
The two of them didn't say much, but picked up the broken wood and began to dig at that place.
As they dug up more and more soil, the desire in Zuodi's heart gradually became intense, and she desperately suppressed her urge to get in......
Li Qiao was digging hard when the wooden stick in his hand was stuck. He tossed the stick aside and leaned down to pick it up with his hands. A round stone, the size of a fist, was exposed from the pit, and he was about to reach out to pick it up, when the stone broke through the ground and struck straight at the left-sided door.
Li Qiao was shocked, thinking that the stone was going to hurt people, and was about to stop it, but saw that the stone suddenly stopped in front of Zuo Di and gently landed in her palm, which was very stable and well-behaved......
Li Qiaowen Xiuwen: ......
So we worked all night to find this stone that belongs to you? Inexplicable feeling of heart congestion......
Zuo Di held the stone, and the unspeakable longing finally subsided.
She was also at a loss, was she on a stick with a stone or something? Could it be that this is the same existence as the red fruit?
Thinking of this, her hand couldn't help but tremble, and she wanted to throw it out directly......
The sky is brightening. Li Qiao didn't care about the strange stones, and hurriedly said: "We have to go back to the city quickly, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zuo should know later." β
Zuo Di nodded, held the stone in fear, and went out of the village to turn over the horse.
Li Qiao was very careful, and when he left, he buried the soil pit and piled up some sundries. The fire burning in front of the house had long since burned out, but the ashes had no time to be cleaned up, so they had to be put aside.
After entering the city, he changed into a carriage, and Zuo Di said to the two of them: "Since this strange stone is following me, it will be left with me first." If I find anything back, I will send you a message. β
The two agreed. The three of them said goodbye.
β¦β¦
Zuo Di tiptoed back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with the stone, wanting to put the stone down and change clothes, but found that as long as he put it down, he would rush to himself, and it would not be good to run to other rooms quickly, and it would turn around!
Left drop collapses, this is what makes oneself have a violent craving? It's a scourge......
didn't care about that much, she had to hold the stone in one hand and ask Qiu Ju to change her clothes.
Qiu Ju waited anxiously all night, and was very surprised when she saw her master coming back with a stone: "Second Miss, you went out last night to find a stone?" β
Zuo Di gritted his teeth: "There are too many words, hurry up and change your clothes." β
Qiu Ju muttered, there is no shortage of stones in the house, why bother to go out to find it.
She wanted to take the stone first, but was flashed by the left drop, and her face was puzzled and she was about to ask.
Zuo Di said in a rough voice: "Don't ask anything, you just change your clothes." β
Qiu Ju blinked, the second lady is very tight about this stone baby!
After changing his clothes in a hurry, Zuo Di said to Qiu Ju: "You go and ask me for leave, just say it...... There were too many mosquitoes last night, so I didn't sleep well and made up for sleep during the day. β
Qiu Ju was about to withdraw, but Zuo Di added: "By the way, let Baoya and Baozhi not have to come over to serve, I want to stay by myself." β
After clearing the field, Zuo Di carefully bolted the door, looking at the stone in his hand with a solemn face.
If you can't hold it off in your hand, should it be swollen and broken? Is it possible that the blood must be put back? She felt pain in her liver......
The original phantom bead was so small, and I drank an unknown amount of blood, this stone is the size of a fist, it won't suck itself dry, right?
Zuo Di frowned sadly, and took the stone and turned over and over again: the pitted surface, gray and white. It's no different from ordinary stones, but the shape of the magic bead is round and cute, and it can also be used as an ornament, and no one will pick up this stone when it is thrown on the street.
Suddenly, her ears moved, and there seemed to be a sound inside the stone?
Zuo Di held the stone and shook it vigorously in his ear, and sure enough, the stone was not solid, and there seemed to be the sound of water flowing inside.
Zuo Di is in good spirits, as long as he doesn't have to let bloodletting, everything is fine.
She looked around, trying to find something to smash open, but she looked around, except for the stone plaque engraved with the word "Li Jun", there was no hard object to take advantage of!
After a little hesitation, Zuo Di walked over and held the stone tablet in his hand, comforting himself: It's okay, just smash it and try it, if it can't be smashed, put it back......
She put the stone on the ground and stabilized it with one hand, and with the other hand raised the stone plaque and smashed it down fiercely, with a "snap"!
The smashing action was very hard, but it was light when it landed on the stone - at the last moment, Zuo Di still regained his strength, worried about smashing the stone plaque......
I thought that the stone must not move at all, but who knew that the seemingly solid stone actually "clicked" - a crack was opened?!
It's too ruined, Zuo Di complained. It is better to clap it with the palm of your hand if you know this.
She looked intently, the stone split in half by itself, and a white light slowly floated from the middle, and there seemed to be water waves flowing in the white light, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard in her ears, which was extremely magical......
Zuo Di rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was hallucinating and hallucinating, and just about to take a closer look, the white light swished straight into her lower abdomen, and disappeared in an instant.
She broke down! What the hell is this? If you don't see it clearly, you won't die, right?!
Zuo Di was in a hurry, and suddenly, a long-lost voice came from her head:
"Wow! Where did you find this thing? β
- Suddenly, all the emotions disappeared, and before Zuo Di could think, tears were uncontrollable and frantically gushed out of his eyes......
Red fruit? Is that you? Are you awake?
Zuo Di's nose was inciting, her lips were biting to death, she heard this voice countless times in her dreams, heard him ragging with herself, bragging and ridiculing like before, and every time she woke up, she found that it was just a dream.
"Y-You're awake?" Zuo Di asked cautiously with a crying voice, for fear that a loud voice would wake him up.
She was afraid that it was all just an illusion, and when she woke up, she found that she was still alone......
"I woke up a long time ago, well, I woke up three or four years ago." It's still the same ruffian tone - it's really a red fruit!
It's not a dream, it's not an illusion, it's real! I don't know what that white light is, but it awakens the red fruit!
Hey? Not right-
Zuo Di, who reacted from emotion and ecstasy, suddenly roared:
"You woke up three or four years ago? You woke up three or four years ago, why didn't you come out? You make me kowtow like an idiot every day! You, youβ"
The left dripping almost turned his back on the air!
He had only slept for two or three years, but he had waited for six whole years, praying and worrying every day......
"You sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep!" Zuo Di said angrily.
"Huh? Why are you still angry? Don't cry, I know you miss me. Hongguo'er was a little embarrassed, and it explained,
"Actually, I can't possess the body at all, and I can't use the means, that time I really let go out to save you, and hurt the origin. I would have had to sleep for at least a hundred years, but I didn't tell you if I was afraid ......that you would be sad," it changed its tone and said excitedly:
"I didn't think about it, Phantom Bead made a contract with you, and the effect of using your qi and blood was surprisingly good, I only woke up after two years of sleep, and my cultivation has improved a lot. So I thought, wouldn't it be better to just sleep for a few more years and wait until I can possess the body and then come out? At least you don't have to be trapped in a broken circle all day long, and you can only watch ......"
When Zuo Di heard it say that it had to sleep for a hundred years, he had completely lost his breath, and he was only glad in his heart, fortunately he was obedient and swallowed the phantom bead, otherwise he would never see it again in his lifetime.
Zuodi wiped his tears and muttered, "Then why don't you sleep more?" What are you doing coming out so early? β
Hongguo'er said happily: "I've been squeezed out!" β
Left drop orz, so happy to be squeezed out, did you sleep too long and your brain was broken?
"The white light that just ran into the bead, the energy generated by the condensing red mist was too great, and it squeezed me out." It sounded so happy.
Zuo Di wondered: "What is that white light for?" I had a very strong desire to swallow it, but then I didn't feel it when I held it in my hand......"
Hongguo'er was satisfied: "That's not your desire, it's the Phantom Bead." I don't understand what it is, I just know it's one of the things I have to get home! β
Zuo Di suddenly realized: "That's why you're so happy...... But in this way, won't you be able to go back to the magic beads? β
Hongguo'er didn't care and said, "When it is completely fused, the energy will be balanced, and I will be able to enter." Andβ"
It said excitedly, "The energy generated by the instant fusion of white light has been absorbed by me a lot, and now I can possess it." Is there anything wrong with staying in it bitterly? Wahahahaha, Lao Tzu is finally free! β
Zuo Di is happy from the bottom of his heart, he is finally not alone!
It's just that I thought that Hongguo'er had found something to go home, and for some reason there was a faint melancholy in my heart......
Suddenly, Hongguo'er screamed, "Zuodi! What is it that you have in your hand?!!!!! β
