Xiang Qingxi returned to Tingfeng Restaurant and told the big guy in the store that in the future, he would provide ten more bottles of the emperor's offering every month, and he would not wait for the fat shopkeeper, so he went to the warehouse and chatted with Sister Ye for a while, and saw that Li Qingzhao was writing her famous "Like a Dream Order, Chang Ji Xiting Sunset", Xiang Qingxi was very excited, and put Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong" Turning it back to Li Qingzhao, I wanted him to appreciate it, but Li Qingzhao's eyes were full of little stars, and he mistakenly thought it was his masterpiece, because Yue Fei had not yet come to the world at that time, Xiang Qingxi had no choice but to flee in the eyes of Li Qingzhao with admiration.

When he returned to Shenzhu, the Jade Rabbit became the little white rabbit who ignored people and devoted himself to serving its flowers and plants. Since the last Shenzhu mutation nearly ten years ago, the herbal garden managed by Yutu has expanded again and again to take shape, listening to Yutu said, the quality of the earliest ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum has reached the heavenly level, it will take a few days from the Xuan-level quality, and the earth-level herbs are already very common.

The sudden change of Shenzhu made Xiang Qingxi think a lot, those expanded lands, mountains, rivers and mountains may already exist, but they were just blocked by the primordial boundary membrane and could not be seen.

As for why the boundary membrane should be blocked, Xiang Qingxi's answer after thinking about it is that it takes spiritual power to control the divine beads, and the spiritual power required to control the boundary membrane is exactly the limit of Xiang Qingxi's divine sense.

But it is not that if the divine consciousness breaks through the limit, the divine bead will be mutated, but it should be said that if the divine bead encounters conditions that can be mutated, the scope of control will change with the scope of the divine consciousness. Of course, all this is Xiang Qingxi's own conjecture, although it is somewhat close to the truth, but it is not entirely correct.

Calming down, he also found that under the rootless soil in the divine bead, he found a thing, to be exact, a thing that is not like wood, like wood and not wood, these are two very contradictory words, but they exist awkwardly together, it is wood is not like wood It means that this one looks like wood, but it looks very different from wood. And if it looks like wood and is not wood, it means that the wood is alive, and if you keep staring at it, the more you look at it, the more it looks like wood, but it can move and breathe, like a baby conceived by rootless soil.

And this also explains why there are small flowers and grasses sneaking up, it is because this thing enters Xiang Qingxi's control range, and the divine spring spiritual liquid can moisten it. Those little flowers and grasses who are unwilling to be lonely and come out are resurrected because this thing that was already hidden under the divine bead was nourished by the spiritual liquid, why do you say that, it is because of this mutation, Xiang Qingxi's divine sense can penetrate the rootless soil, and see that the roots of the plants under the soil are growing in one direction, and the place that this direction refers to is it, the tree without roots.

Xiang Qingxi originally wanted to take it out and take a closer look, but there was a layer of immortal barrier seal on the outside of this rootless tree to protect it, so Xiang Qingxi later dispelled the idea of taking it out.

Chen Jun's twelve sleeping skills Xiang Qingxi have mastered, but the effect can only be shown in the accumulation of time, in this regard, Xiang Qingxi is not in a hurry, but he insists on practicing every day, because the true qi of the gold system has not made any progress, and the cultivation of the Lantian jade, which is the kind of smoke, is also increasing every day, but the speed is increasing too slowly, and it cannot be completed without a thousand years or so. Fortunately, it is one day outside, and it is a year in the Shenzhu, and it can still be persevered.

Xiang Qingxi has been looking for items that can extract the power of the origin of the gold system, and has experimented with a lot of metals and the like, but the amount of extracting the power of the origin is almost negligible, only the gold extraction is slightly more, but it can only be said that talking is better than nothing, it is better than nothing, last month in the new world earned nearly 500,000 taels of silver, all of which were exchanged for gold and extracted for only enough to cultivate for a few days. Of course, the gold of the New World is not of high purity, it is made of gold and brass, and it is understandable that it is extracted less.

On this day, hearing the shout of the Jade Rabbit, Xiang Qingxi slowly opened his eyes and stopped the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Technique, every once in a while, the Jade Rabbit would teach Xiang Qingxi some medical skills, and every time he taught, the Jade Rabbit would transform into a bewitching and exquisite human form that was neither male nor female. When listening to the lecture of the Jade Rabbit, it is a kind of torture for Xiang Qingxi's spirit, because the humanoid Jade Rabbit has a pair of charming eyes, and also has a red mouth that makes him disgusting, when listening to the lecture, Xiang Qingxi's eyes don't know where to look, look at the eyes of the Jade Rabbit, the afterglow and attention must be on the red mouth, so mostly, Xiang Qingxi listens to the lecture with his eyes closed, and only when the Jade Rabbit is pointing to certain positions, he opens his eyes to take a look. Today, Yutu said to Xiang Qingxi after finishing the lecture, "This is the last lesson, and the rest depends on your own understanding and experience." In other words, there is no need to look at the beautiful and disgusting face of the Jade Rabbit anymore, Xiang Qingxi is still a little happy, not that he hates the Jade Rabbit, but he is really afraid of the face of the Jade Rabbit.

Cultivation needs artistic conception, after being awakened by the jade rabbit, I feel that I have been in the Shenzhu for some time, return to the real world, push the door out of the room, the real world is also autumn, the autumn wind sweeping the leaves is more tough, and the clothes wrapped tightly can not block the cold feeling, a few clusters of bamboo leaves in the courtyard of the Xiang family have turned yellow, and the plantain is also drooping its head, looking old, the autumn face is also said to change, the rain will fall, and the fallen leaves brought up by the autumn wind will be slapped on the ground, just now it was dusty, and after a while, it was misty and rainy, Xiang Qingxi, who retreated into the living room, had to stand by the window, looking outside, enjoying the artistic conception of listening to the bamboo in front of the window and the rain hitting the plantainWhen I was a child, I ran in the rain with my new shoes, and my mother stood in front of the window and shouted, "Come back, come back, be careful not to catch a cold." And he just turned around and grimaced, and continued to play with the rain. It was a longing, on this rainy day, but all the memories were drenched, only a few words remained, the rainy day was because of you and went away, tired of having me by your side.

Unconsciously tears have been made, Xiang Qingxi stood up and wanted to rush into the rain to cover up the sadness in his heart, the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, a loud phone interrupted his action, wiped the tears on his face with his hand, picked up the phone, and before he could speak, Liu Shengnan's tearing cry came from inside, "Qingxi, come quickly, my grandfather is dead." My grandfather died, he was beaten to death, woo...... You come, you come...... Uncle Kwon can't do it anymore. ”

"Huh?" Xiang Qingxi's brain buzzed, and his whole body trembled, "Where are you?"

"My house, woo...... Come on...... Whining...... Grandpa!!" The phone was hung up.

"What's going on?" Xiang Qingxi was a little confused, stabilized his mind, ran to the car as fast as possible, and after starting, the car rushed into the rain like an arrow off the string, and called Li Qiang on the way, wanting the two of them to come to the Liu family compound quickly, only to know that the two of them have been in the jade market for the past few days, and the auction of that piece of jade was scheduled for a few days, so the two of them did not come back, and they originally called to inform them of the matter, but Xiang Qingxi never answered the phone.

As soon as he entered the compound, he could only use a tragic word to describe it, the blood all over the ground, the corpses of the servants everywhere, the stumps and broken arms, the murderer was quite cruel, and he could hardly see the whole corpse, Liu Shengnan was holding his grandfather's corpse and crying there quietly, and after seeing Xiang Qingxi come in, the crying was even louder, as if he had something to rely on.

"What's going on?" Seeing this scene as if the history of the Xiang family was repeating itself, he walked to Liu Shengnan and knelt down, Shengnan put down his grandfather, threw himself into Xiang Qingxi's arms, and cried.

Xiang Qingxi patted Shengnan's back with tears, looking at the kind old man who had been very good to him since he was a child, and felt sad from his heart, except for the fact that the old man's face was still complete, the other parts were miserable, and he must have been tortured inhumanly before his death, but his face had a peaceful smile.

What kind of person tortured the old man, why did the old man still have a peaceful smile when he left, Xiang Qingxi stopped his tears, turned his head and saw Uncle Quan lying next to him, the corners of his head and mouth were full of blood, but he had calmed down, and his breathing was quite steady, Xiang Qingxi hurriedly asked, "Uncle Quan, are you okay?"

Uncle Quan, the housekeeper, opened his eyes and saw Xiang Qingxi, opened his mouth and didn't speak, swallowed hard, and said intermittently, "Guarantee...... Protect...... Take care of your ...... Miss, please ...... Beg...... You're ......" and then shouted hoarsely with wide eyes and blood spitting, "Promise...... I ......"

"I promise, I promise, Uncle Quan, don't say it yet, I'll call the doctor. Xiang Qingxi grabbed Uncle Quan's hand and hurriedly comforted him, but his mind moved, and a stream of spiritual liquid overflowed from his fingers and dripped into Uncle Quan's mouth.

"Chalcedony...... Not...... ...... used" Uncle Quan smiled bitterly, shook his head hard, and trembled and took out a disc-shaped thing from his arms and put it in Xiang Qingxi's hand, "Find an opportunity...... Yes...... Yes...... Dragon...... The ...... of the earth "let go of his hand and tilted his head, his eyes widened, and he exhaled the last breath of his life.

"Uncle Quan, Uncle Quan?" Xiang Qingxi shook Uncle Quan's body and shouted loudly.

After a while, he put his hand on Uncle Quan's eyes, and said silently in his heart, "Uncle Quan, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the competitive man, although I haven't liked you since I was a child, but I remember all the things you did for me to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

touched Liu Shengnan's hair with his hand, and said softly, "Shengnan, I understand your current mood, but you have to be strong, the police will come in a while, if you keep crying, it is not conducive to solving the case, and you also want to avenge your grandfather, don't you?" Under Xiang Qingxi's comfort, Shengnan gradually stabilized, although he still sobbed from time to time, but he was not as wailing as you just now, no matter where Xiang Qingxi went, her hand never let go of the corner of Xiang Qingxi's clothes.

After a while, a large number of police officers arrived one after another, cordoned off the scene with a cordon, and several forensic doctors wearing white gloves took pictures and took samples at the initial inspection of the "click". A black and capable policeman found Liu Shengnan to record a confession and asked very professionally, "Are you a family member of the deceased?"

Liu Shengnan nodded, "Then who are these people?" asked the black strong policeman with his hand pointing to the corpse on the ground.

"This is my grandfather...... The others are all servants. Speaking of this, Liu Shengnan's tears fell again.

"Can you tell me about the incident?" said the policeman as he recorded it in his notebook.

"Uncle Quan and I were going to go to work today," Liu Shengnan pointed to Uncle Quan's body with his hand, "He is my Uncle Quan, he got off work at night, and received a call from his grandfather on the road, something happened to me a while ago, he was worried about me, said he missed me, and asked me to go home for dinner, but as soon as I got home, I saw a man in a black robe, he was ...... "Shengnan couldn't say any more," he was ...... Constantly killing the servants who were kneeling on the ground. Speaking of this, Liu Shengnan covered his face and let out a whining cry, Xiang Qingxi held her sideways in his arms, stroked her head, and comforted softly.

"Then how did he die? What about your grandfather?" The policeman glanced at Liu Shengnan, who was on the verge of collapse, and pointed at Uncle Quan, without the slightest intention of stopping to ask.

"Uncle Quan came in and fought with the man, Uncle Quan and the man both lost, after the man fled, Uncle Quan couldn't do it, and when we came back, Grandpa ...... It's already dead. Woo woo...... "Leaning on Xiang Qingxi's arms, Liu Shengnan couldn't stop his sadness, and screamed again, but Xiang Qingxi was extremely shocked in his heart, Uncle Quan was a mid-level master, and he was killed.

"If you have any questions, let's ask them in a few days, her current state doesn't seem to be suitable for answering any questions. Xiang Qingxi had no choice but to stop it.

"It's nothing, let me ask you a few questions, what is your name, when did you come here?"

"My name is Xiang Qingxi, and I came when I got the call. Xiang Qingxi knew that it was a routine inquiry, and he didn't have any resistance, so he replied directly.

The policeman put down a business card, stood up and said, "If you have anything else in mind, feel free to call me." ”

After the strong policeman turned to leave, a medical staff came over and told Xiang Qingxi that the body would be moved to the morgue of the First Hospital of Kunshi.

Xiang Qingxi and Liu Shengnan did not stay at Liu's house that night, Liu Shengnan kept crying and went into shock a few times, no matter how Xiang Qingxi comforted him, Liu Shengnan still cried a lot. Back in the Xiang family's compound, Xiang Qingxi sent Liu Shengnan back to the room and comforted him for a while before Liu Shengnan fell asleep sobbing, but the hand holding the corner of Xiang Qingxi's clothes was still so tight that he refused to let go.

Xiang Qingxi had to make do with his clothes on the carpet next to the bed for a night, and he heard Liu Shengnan's sobbing sound from time to time in his sleep. The pain of losing a loved one seems to be the only way to vent the sadness in my heart by crying.

In the next few days, Xiang Qingxi stayed by Liu Shengnan's side until her parents came back from other places, Shengnan's father was a painter, and his mother was a romantic poet.

The two parents of Shengnan, who received the news, rushed back to deal with the funeral as soon as possible, because the return of his parents diluted a lot of Shengnan's sadness. The role of relatives at this time is very obvious, the grandfather who has doted on him since he was a child left suddenly, and the sadness is indescribable, but the return of his parents seems to be a lot lighter on the burden.

Although she still washes her face with tears every day, it is better than feeling sorry for herself every day, always thinking that grandpa's death was caused by her, and always saying something if, if the car drove faster, grandpa would not die, if he took the initiative to see grandpa every day, would this kind of thing not happen, many people not only overwhelmed themselves, even Xiang Qingxi was anxious.
