Chapter 13: The Harvest
Feng Xue looked for prestige, and saw that in the pit not far away, there was a crimson brilliance that was rippling like water waves, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he raised his feet and ran towards the deep pit, but faster than him was walking like flying, not at all like Uncle Wu Zhu, who was in his sixties.
"How is it, have you found it?" Wu Zhu shouted a question in his mouth, but he didn't give people a chance to answer at all, and jumped directly into a pit more than one meter deep along the location of the crimson brilliance, and it was only at this time that Feng Xue ran to the pit and saw the blood-colored jade in the pit with a diameter of about half a meter.
No, it's not so much jade, in Feng Xue's opinion, it's more like a popular Internet celebrity colored crystal lamp in her previous life, bright and transparent, like a crystal, but it exudes a soft light, even if you look at it directly, you won't feel dazzling.
Not only that, but the crimson light also exuded a faint allure, as if tempting others to take it home and frame it carefully.
"Is this frivolous?" Feng Xue stepped on the ladder made of barbarian slaves and walked down the pit, and took a few steps to the blood jade, only to find that the shape of this blood jade is not a soft-shelled turtle? But as Wu Zhu said before, this soft-shelled turtle has three nostrils.
"Well, it should be. Wu Zhu nodded, his face improved slightly, and patiently explained:
"When this blood jade shrinks to the size of a normal soft-shelled turtle, it will be the time to resurrect frivolously, and judging by the current appearance, it should be able to last for another two days. β
"That's good, that's good......" Xu Qing rushed over with Luo Xianling, and when he heard Wu Zhu's words, he immediately showed a relaxed smile, and Luo Xianling even spoke:
"I have ordered a pyre to be prepared, ready to light a fire at any time!"
"Without further ado, let's get started!" Wu Zhu nodded, but Feng Xue suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly said:
"Wait, dare to ask Wu Zhu, when this frivolous burn, is the smoke poisonous, what about the ashes, is it soluble in water?"
It's not that he's too careful, it's that the way of the world is too unfriendly.
"Don't worry, Childe, this frivolity melts when it sees blood, but it doesn't hurt to water, except for the day of reunion, its poison will only occur through consumption, the smoke from incineration will not be poisonous, and the ashes will not be there. Wu Zhu's tone was very firm, but after speaking, he seemed to be a little lacking in confidence, so he added:
"But to be on the safe side, let's evacuate people to other urban areas. β
"Okay, I'll go!" Xu Qing climbed up the trench in a few steps, and began to let his entourage disperse the crowd, while the huge blood jade was joined by several barbarian slaves, resisting out of the pit and walking straight towards the set up firewood rack.
I don't know whether to say that the civilians in this era are obedient or easy to fool, and I don't know what Xu Qing said, so those civilians ran away obediently, without the idea of watching the excitement at all, and the pyre, which was built like a small house, was finally ignited.
The flames burned brightly, illuminating the city of Sheyang at night, and although the surrounding people had been evacuated to other urban areas, the light of the fire still caused them uneasiness.
Fortunately, at this time, the two clans of the Flood Desolation Lich have stepped down from the stage of history, and the remnants of the demon clan have escaped from the world one by one, waiting for the legendary demon clan to flourish, and even if the little demon demon who is still walking outside wants to eat people, he must set up a trap for them to commit sins first, so as not to add karma, otherwise this sky-high fire alone will inevitably attract some ogres who take advantage of the fire to rob.
The flames burned until dawn, and neither Wu Zhu, Xu Qing, nor Feng Xue, who had slept for a day or two nights, were not sleepy at allβjust kidding, after hearing that he might die from the poisonous fog at any time, which person with a big heart could still sleep at this time?
Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and there was no rainstorm to extinguish the "cremation" ceremony, and when the sun was up, the additional firewood was finally burned, and after waiting for a few hours, until the temperature in the pit dropped, the barbarian slaves were sent into the fire, and under the orders of the overseer, rummaged to see if there were any remnants.
Feng Xue, who was relieved, was also a little listless at this time, leaning back on the chair in a daze, but at this moment, an overseer suddenly shouted by the pit:
"Wu Zhu! Childe! There is something!"
Feng Xue was frightened by this shout, Wu Zhu's appearance was not much better, in line with the idea that he couldn't run, Feng Xue and Wu Zhu walked over together, and saw that the foreman was snatching a blood-colored jade the size of a quail egg from the barbarian slave.
No, not one, among the ashes that were picked up, there were several similar jades, lying there quietly, the overseer picked up the jade one by one, and walked over as if offering treasures, but he was worried that the things were poisonous, so he could only wrap them in cloth and hold them in his hands, and show them to the nobles from afar.
There are nine blood jades, all the size of quail eggs, different from the "crystal lamps" that exude crimson light before, these blood jades can really be called "jade", the surface is oily and shiny, but there is no light through, although it looks crystalline, but not so transparent, looking at it from a distance, there is a desire to play with it in your hand.
But it wasn't some otherworldly, demonic temptation, it was just a yearning for something beautiful.
"This is ......" Wu Zhu frowned, and then, in Feng Xue's ears, there was a voice of judgment-
γ??:?/?(Failed)γ
And as the voice fell, Wu Zhu also spoke:
"I can't remember a little, I'll have to go back and check it out later......"
Feng Xue's face darkened slightly when she heard this, this is a matter of life, you told me that you wanted to go back and check the book?
In line with the idea that no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than frivolous resurrection and ascension to heaven, Feng Xue said silently in her heart:
"Metaphysical judgment. β
When Feng Xue made this decision, she actually had other plans in her heart - to stuff this thing into the stomach of a live fish and throw it into the East China Sea, no matter what, as long as it didn't harm Sheyang County.
As for why it is still being identified, it is just the unwillingness of the party as a full illustrated party.
Besides, what if it succeeds?
[Metaphysics: 15/15 (Success)]
When he saw the number 15, Feng Xue sighed in his heart, but then, the successful sound effect made him a little stunned-
"Isn't my metaphysics only 14? or the mountains and seas in my previous life, why is it 15?"
So, his eyes looked up line by line, and he realized that he had added a little bit when he witnessed Wu Zhu summoning the city god before.
And with the success of the judgment, the information of the blood jade finally began to come to mind:
[Blood Demon Bi: The demon who likes to eat (uh-huh~~) after death, the undigested essence blood is mixed with the demon qi at high temperature to form a treasure jade, which can be worn to avoid blood spells. γ
..............................
ps: Some people say that dice don't mean anything, as long as you don't throw dice at the critical time, it's up to me to say what to do...... For this statement, I can only say that even if it is a real running group, the KP who can only do things according to the dice is also an unqualified KP! The dice are the introduction, the guide, the embodiment of the influence of fate, and the big hand that plucks the strings of the world line, but it is not the story itself, the dice will only change the fate, and survive tenaciously in these lucky or unfortunate changes, which is the essence of the running group. That's why I insist on real investment, because only real investment is the test of fate for the role. As for not throwing dice at critical times...... This is purely an insult to IQ, my protagonist has a certain logic in acting, he has to vote when he doesn't succeed, or he doesn't throw the dice when he should have thrown the dice, wouldn't this be against the peace?
