Chapter 5: Blue Jade City

8018 A.D. Continent of Tyatus, Dynasty of Ayarien, North, Blue Jade City, May

I don't know how to describe human dreams, some dreams are chaotic, some dreams are clear, some dreams are connected to various causes and effects in past and present lives, some dreams are connected to various predictions of time energy, some dreams continue their small wishes, and some dreams are shaping the brave heart that they have always had.

With a soft cry, a teenager suddenly woke up from his dream, his eyes suddenly opened, looking at the familiar ceiling, smelling the familiar smell of home, and his throbbing heart gradually calmed down, this young man's name is Yar Shi, he is a normal resident of Blue Jade City under the jurisdiction of the Diarion Dynasty, he is only 16 years old this year, but his eyebrows are no more than short hair in his ears, fair skin, he loves to laugh, loves activities, and loves to have little secrets.

Yar, after releasing the light, he immediately rolled out of bed, and quickly found the dark pavilion under his bed, which was the money he had saved in the past few years and the drawings and materials for studying gem cutting, he carefully took it out and looked at it one by one, and looked back at the bedroom door from time to time, listening to the movement of his mother downstairs, everything was safe, and then he put it back with confidence, and then returned to the bed and then looked at the ceiling, thinking to himself, "Great, it's all still there, I just dreamed and scared people to death! I dreamed that my mother found these things! I threw them all to me~" Then he turned over, his eyes drifted to the place under the bed, and he said to himself, "My darlings~ good night!"

It's early in the morning, and after Yar and Shi turn off the lights, they fall asleep again.

Blue Jade City is located in the north of the Diarion Dynasty, the climate of the four seasons is significant, is an area of 100 square kilometers, with a population of about 550,000 large cities, the city and the surrounding mountains outside the city are named because of a large number of jade veins, because its veins are mainly rich in blue jade, so it is called the Blue Jade City, most of the residents of the Blue Jade City perennial blue jade business, and the empire's famous main city transactions are frequent, the residents live and work in peace and contentment, and the city is relatively rich. Because Blue Jade City has good gem craftsmen, alchemists, and specialized schools, it is also highly valued by the empire, so the overall road transportation, living facilities, medical security, and cultivation system of Blue Jade City are relatively mature and complete, and the environment is good. In the leylines in the blue jade city, in the valley surrounded by the same area, there are endless blue jade hidden in it, only need proper excavation to obtain, blue jade in the pharmacopoeia is also known as blue medicine stone, because the initial blue jade can be used in medicine, has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the soul and has no side effects, it is deeply liked by cultivators, but this kind of blue jade must be "fresh", usually gemstones, The formation of good jade takes millions of years, tens of millions of years, especially most of the diamonds are also aged in hundreds of millions of years, and these blue jade veins around the blue jade city have been studied and analyzed by scientific researchers for a long time, and it is concluded that the overall formation does not exceed two million years. Gem veins and various precious metal veins, the Blue Jade City area is a fairly young existence, which has nothing to do with the energy supply of its underground plant roots, the formation of these gems will actually be entangled in the roots of plants, not completely natural lava or gravity, very novel. The so-called "fresh" blue jade is within 10,000 years of the 'primary stone', because the growth environment of blue jade includes not only the formation of rock veins, in the process of excavating blue jade, you will find that many plant roots are also wrapped around the blue jade, it can be seen that it has sufficient plant components, with the transparent layer of the gem can be completely judged the growth stage of jade, the more transparent is the primary stone, after the ancestors, According to the many experiments of the predecessors, the primary stone is easy to grind into powder, and a small amount of blue jade powder into medicine has the effect of removing impurities in the spiritual power of people who cultivate the truth, which is a good prescription for refreshing and refreshing the soul. Although the blue jade is not as effective as some special elixirs in removing these energy impurities, it will still make people feel comfortable physically and mentally after eating, so that most cultivators will often prepare some on their bodies when they practice, and the blue jade between 10,000 and 500,000 years is more mature, not transparent, there are more blue impurities mixed in it, and it is extremely hard, not to mention eating, it is difficult to cut with all the strength of the weapon, and it is difficult to carve and cut this kind of blue jade in some urban workshops with special gem-cutting equipment, and you can make some small ornaments and jewelry collocationAnd more than 500,000 years or even longer blue jade, its characteristic is that a large piece is connected together, can not be divided, generally directly transported back in the exterior for carving, the finished craft is mostly used in the foyer decoration or special container of urban residents, the older blue jade container is especially placed in water and medicine, with a certain preservation function; larger pieces of blue jade are used for building materials, many shops and government buildings in the blue jade city have blue jade ornaments, it is a veritable blue jade city! Because the city lords of the past generations wanted to study the origin of the composition of these jade, hired more professionals to mine and explore, and wanted to find the source of these plant roots, but after hundreds of years of searching for nearly 100,000 kilometers of distance and still could not find the end, this matter of searching for the source of the root is gone, and I don't know where so many huge plant roots come from underground around the vein, and absorb the underground water source and various nutrients together, so as to create such an excellent blue jade vein today. Anyway, the output is balanced every year, and the residents of Blue Jade City also rely on this to walk all over the country, and their food and clothing are not good.

Yar and Shi grew up in Blue Jade City, his father died when Xiao Shi'er was eight years old because of some accidents, these years Yar and Shi have been dependent on their mother, doing food business, Xiao Shi'er's mother Wei Xilina is a well-known chef in the city, good at all kinds of mixed vegetables, snacks, stews, stir-fried dishes, every time will let customers eat praise again and again, Wei Xilina is now working in a restaurant called Chenguang Ramen House in Blue Jade City, this building has three floors, one floor, The second floor is a loose table for most urban residents, the middle of the floor is the ramen workbench, half of the workbench is the kitchen that customers can't see directly, the outside is responsible for ramen side dishes, the kitchen is responsible for stir-frying, boiling soup, the third floor is the private room layer, there are various styles, the scenery is different private rooms, suitable for some guests who want to be quiet and alone, the relative service fee should be charged more, the third floor also has a professional kitchen, mainly cooking special dishes, and the rest of the dishes are provided by the first and second floors. In addition, Yar and Shi's mother worked in the kitchen on the third floor, and many high-end and characteristic delicious dishes were good at attracting many repeat customers to these private rooms on the third floor, and at the same time, they made a lot of money for the hotel. Thinking about ten years ago, Wei Xilina applied for a job in this restaurant as a chef, at that time Xiao Shi'er was only 6 years old, her husband worked in the city's administrative building, everything seemed smooth and comfortable, at first Wei Xilina just wanted to do the job at hand, cook delicious food for customers, and take care of her husband and children, live a stable life, calm and happy, did not expect that the various accidents that happened later completely changed Wei Xilina's life, making her miserable. Fortunately, in the past ten years, Chen Xixi, the owner of Chenguang Ramen House, has always taken good care of Wei Xilina, and was promoted to Wei Xilina as the head chef five years ago, and the two are sisters in the following time, intimate, as if Chen Xixi accompanied Wei Xilina through those times when she lost her husband, although with the passage of time, the relationship between the two has deepened, and now Chen Xixi's 14-year-old daughter Chen Yang is Xiao Shi'er's playmate since childhood, and she is also a girl that Wei Xilina loves very much, like a "daughter" Generally, the relationship between the two families is getting stronger and stronger, as if they have become a family, this kind of intimacy and care is more like a kind of spiritual art that can change people's minds, it makes people forget their sadness, and makes people mention the courage to continue to move forward.

"Ring, ring, ring!" A rapid sound of the bell made Yar Shi keep tossing in bed, it was obvious that he was not willing to get up so early, but under the supervision of his mother, or the strange punishment policy of his college, he had no choice, or a little struggle in bed for a few minutes, "Shi'er! Get up, you will be punished for performing the show if you are late, you have been embarrassed many times." ”

"Ahh Ah!" Yar Shi suddenly opened his eyes, realized the seriousness of the problem, turned his head and looked at the time indicated on the spirit binding stone, it was already 6:30, the first morning class of the academy was at 8 o'clock, counting the distance by car, he had to go out before 7:20, he hurriedly washed, made the bed and clothes, "Mom, I will definitely not be late this time!"

"Alas, Shi'er came down and ate some breakfast after finishing her work, there was porridge, side dishes and the meatloaf cooked last night, but there was only one piece, and you can't eat too much in the morning. ”

"Mmmmmmmm By the way, after school in the afternoon of the past two days, you have to go to Aunt Chen's place to help before 4:30, and I heard her say that she has to receive several batches of important guests in the past two days, which is very busy, and my mother has to be busy in the kitchen until late these two days. There is also this box of blue jade trinkets for you to keep, it will be Chenyang's birthday in a few days, and you will take it to your sister Chenyang. ”

Hearing the gemstone objects, Yaer and Shi immediately lit up, "Mom, this workmanship and carving are good, it's what Chenyang has always liked, what's it called, the blue jade pattern egg series~ uh... Chenyang is going to have a birthday..."

"Aunt Chen has always treated us well, they have been running a restaurant, and they don't know much about gemstones, alas, in addition to handling some trade work in the administrative building before your father's death, he paid special attention to the gem trade in private, and I have seen some of them. Last time I talked to them about this, your Aunt Chen couldn't think about what to give her for Chenyang's birthday this year, I heard that Chenyang likes this, so your Aunt Chen asked me a lot, and finally entrusted me to buy it. ”

"Then Mom, you can bring it directly to Aunt Chen today. ”

"Well, I'm... Look at your Shi'er, eat slowly, the porridge grains splashed on the table again!" Wei Xilina said, immediately picked up a tissue and wiped Yar Shi's mouth, and then picked up the extra tissue and took out the spilled porridge and cleaned it up briefly, and then continued: "Mom, there are two more boxes here, and the four pieces in your box are called blue jade saffron eggs, red tones, four different flowers, and they were given to her on Chenyang's birthday." I gave Xiao Chenyang silver flower eggs, and your Aunt Chen is purple flower eggs, these stones are attached to different natural flavors, which have a calming effect, Xiao Chenyang can be placed every day, and she will be very happy" Wei Xilina remembered Xiao Chenyang who circled around her from time to time, and her gentle expression was undoubtedly leaked on her face.

"Mom... You've got all my birthday presents ready, haha, you're so thoughtful, I really forgot about Xiao Chenyang's birthday these days..."

"Hmph, you forgot Xiao Chenyang's birthday when you were a child, and when you didn't show up for a long time, Xiao Chenyang cried, I will definitely remind you this year" Hearing this, Wei Xilina's gentle gaze immediately disappeared, and she said to Yar Shi.

"Well, don't mention it, I know it's wrong... This time I must celebrate Chenyang's birthday well", after that, Yaer and Shi finished eating the last bite of porridge, and suddenly realized something, and immediately picked up their bags sideways, and hurriedly walked out, "Mom, I need to set off quickly, I will be late if I can't get on this bus, I will put away the gem box, and personally bring it to Chenyang on the same day." You put it on the cabinet first, and I'll put it away when I get back!Ah, if you're not in a hurry, I'm leaving. ”

"Stay safe on the road!" Vicislina casually shouted, smiling warmly as she watched her son rush out of the house.
