Chapter Ninety-Six: Restoration
After Wang Xu sent Ji Zhongyue home, he walked towards the antique market.
He hadn't been there once during the time he was recuperating from his injury, and he could just go there once today when he was free.
In the end, he still failed Ji Zhongyue's hard work, and did not go to get close to Governor Liang Dekuan, but just did his duty and toasted a glass of wine, nothing more.
After all, Ji Zhongyue is an old man who has retired from the imperial court, and David's prestige is still lingering in his heart, a governor of a big city, powerful and powerful.
But in Wang Xu's eyes, that's it.
At that time, he was in Jinbian, and when his martial arts were not proficient, he didn't have to pay attention to these officials, let alone today.
In the carriage, Wang Xu sat steadily by the window, thinking about this morning's events.
"It seems that I have to visit Ji Zhongyue again in the evening."
He thought silently, and opened the window with his hand.
A cool breeze blew on his face, with a faint fragrance.
Wang Xu judged that this was the smell of night incense.
This kind of flower is the favorite flower of Binyang people, graceful and luxurious, and likes water to the sun, blooms every month, the flower fragrance is elegant, pleasant.
Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and he smelled a wisp of burnt.
Wang Xu's eyes flickered, and his face was as usual.
What I passed by just now was the Yue family, or the Yue family before, but now it is just a charred ruin.
Two days after his lord ran away from home, Yue Fu chose to report to the official.
The government sent a large number of people to search, but only found a broken carriage in the nearby lane, but other than that, nothing was found.
After that, Yue Fu also sent people to search, but still found nothing.
Just three days ago, in the middle of the night, a fire broke out in Yuefu, the fire rose to the sky, it was difficult to extinguish at all, and the government could only isolate the surroundings to prevent the fire from spreading, and there was nothing else to do.
The fire burned all night, turning a luxurious mansion into ruins, and the bones of the people inside were also gone.
No one knew what the cause of the fire was, and the matter was over.
After Wang Xu got out of the carriage, the big yellow tooth seemed to smell a fishy smell, and immediately came over, "Wang Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are much more handsome." ”
"What, what's good today?"
Wang Xu waved his hand and motioned for him not to say these useless words.
Big Yellow Tooth smiled awkwardly, "It's not there today, it's already sold to others." ”
He thought for a while, and then took out a piece of blackened jade jue from his pocket, "Wang Gongzi, don't say it, I still have another thing, just remembered it, what do you think of this thing?" ”
Wang Xu's eyes froze, he first glanced at Yu Jue, and then stared at the big yellow tooth, until he looked at this person a little sneeringly, and then said: "This thing is a remnant of Yuefu." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, Big Yellow Tooth hurriedly pulled him to the dark, his face was terrified, "I said Wang Gongzi, don't you dare to say it so loudly, otherwise, not only you, but even I have to go in once and drink some tea before I can come out." ”
Wang Xu slapped off the big yellow tooth's hand without leaving a trace, and at the same time quietly crossed the jade jue, and then took it back.
He smiled and said, "No, let's go in, I'll drink tea, and you'll have to stay for the night." ”
Big Yellow Tooth was speechless, he knew that Wang Xu was telling the truth, they did have backgrounds, but the backgrounds were also different, his was at best a shabby white cloth, and what Wang Xu was behind was a famous painting that cost a thousand gold, which could not be compared at all.
After Wang Xu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Big Yellow Tooth to reply, and walked away by himself, leaving only one sentence.
"That thing, I suggest you dispose of it as soon as possible or throw it away."
Big Yellow Tooth wiped the jade jue in his hand, and muttered in a low voice, "Throw it away, how can it be, there is nothing that can't be sold when it comes to my Huang Ye's hands." ”
Wang Xu shook his head as he walked, and his words had come to this point, which was considered to be worth what he had just gained.
When Big Yellow Fang took out the jade jue, he sensed the power of existence on it, although it was not much, but for him, it was as obvious as a light in the dark.
Not only that, when Wang Xu crossed over, on the one hand, he absorbed the power of existence hidden in it, and on the other hand, he also found out the material of Yujue.
If he guessed correctly, the jade jue was made of bones, and as for what the bones were, he didn't know.
"Yue Fu ...... Yujue. ”
Wang Xu was more inclined to this was something from the Corpse Soul Mansion, or something that was directly a ghost, so he suggested that Big Yellow Tooth should be thrown away in the end.
A mortal holding the things of the Corpse Soul Mansion is simply looking for death.
Besides, the fire before, he wondered if it would be the hand of the Nine-Story Building.
If so, it means that the people from the Nine-Story Building have arrived in Binyang City, and they should have discovered the disappearance of the lantern holder and the soul detaineer, as well as the disappearance of the ghost murderer in the Corpse Soul Mansion in Yuefu.
Therefore, when this person arrives, he may come to the conclusion that the soul detainer fights with the lamp-bearer and the ghost, and finally dies together.
Therefore, the people of the Nine-Story Building took action to wipe out the entire Yue Mansion.
Of course, it may also be someone else's means, and its purpose is not to care about the wealth of Yuefu.
Wang Xu didn't continue to think deeply when he thought of this, because no matter what the truth was, it was of no value to him.
What he wants to go to now is a special entertainment store that he has never been to.
It is special because this shop mainly deals in bone products, which is a little different from ordinary antique shops.
Wang Xu crossed the flow of people and gradually walked to the door of this antique shop called Qingyu Pavilion.
He raised an eyebrow, and prepared to step in and take a closer look.
Wang Xu now has some eyebrows, or experience, about the power of sensing existence.
As long as his gaze touches, or rather focuses on, he can form a complete understanding in his mind, and he can instantly know whether this thing contains the power of existence.
This method of judging is more of an innate instinct than an ability.
Wang Xu has gradually discovered that with the initial absorption of the power of existence from the blood of the snow ray, to the subsequent ingestion of the heart of the snow ray, and then to the subsequent contact with the weird, the power of existence is drawn from the black qi.
Even the headless female ghost that night, and even when he was in the Li Mansion, he could already absorb the power of existence escaping from the demon corpse in the air, without the need for personal contact, it seemed that his body or the instinct about the power of existence in essence was constantly awakening and recovering.
As for the metal fragment, Wang Xu suspected that it might belong to the secret clan, or something weird.
In any case, the ability to absorb the power of existence is already the same foundation ability for him.
The stronger it is, the more natural it is that there are only benefits and no harms.
