"Two days ago. ”

Chao Sheng's eyes were gloomy, two days ago, it happened to be the day Zhu Yu came to Qingshui Town, how could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Yuan Yu also saw that Chaosheng's expression was different, "That Zhu Yu, he ......"

"It's not a good thing, you stay away from him. Chaosheng said in a deep voice.

“......”

Yuan Yu was helpless, "Then I wish Yu and this matter ......"

"Most of the time it has nothing to do with it, he is not stupid enough to openly control mortal souls and hinder reincarnation. ”

Chaosheng's expression has returned to calm, without anger or anger. It should be said that he is not stupid at all, and he is even more shrewd than most people, otherwise he would not have reached the rank and status he has today.

But the timing is too coincidental not to be suspicious. ”

Chao Sheng held a small teacup in her hand and played with it, looking at the slightly cold tea in the teacup, no matter how she shook it, it didn't leak.

"It's a coincidence," she said, with a cold brow, "but not out of control." ”

Yuan Xi seems to understand but not understand.

On the second day, the underworld sent a large number of ghosts to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the missing souls.

Sure enough, soon, the ghosts discovered the anomaly.

They were about to return, but they saw Chaosheng standing on the second floor of the inn, listening casually to the conversation of the guests downstairs.

It is said that in a lamp shop in the town called Canghai Yueming Pavilion, there is a kind of everlasting lamp, which will not be extinguished for thousands of years, and it is spread to be miraculous. A guest at the inn said.

"I heard that this lamp costs 50,000 taels of snowflake silver, who can afford it?"

"So expensive?"

"Well, what's the use of this? I can't live for 10,000 years. ”

"In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a pastime used by those dignitaries and nobles, and it's just a novelty. ”

"That is, where can ordinary people like us afford it, and it's useless. ”

"Then you couldn't be more wrong. I heard that this everlasting lamp can condense the soul of the dead, even the Lord of Yama can't take him away, it can indeed bring people back from the dead. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Liar, don't ......"

"yes, how could such a thing happen?"

"Don't believe it, there is such a thing. I heard that two months ago, the son of Chen Yuanwai's family in the town suffered from a serious illness and died in a few days. Chen Yuanwai really had no choice, so he bought an ever-bright lamp at a high price to save his son's soul, and guess what happened after three days?"

"What's wrong?"

"His son was resurrected, not only resurrected, but alive. ”

"But this temperament...... It's changed a lot......"

"Is it? really that amazing?"

"I don't lie to you, I don't believe you ask Chen Yuanwai ......"

“......”

Four or five people sat around a table, still discussing the matter of the ever-bright lantern.

Chaosheng and Yuan Yu upstairs naturally listened to these word for word.

Chaosheng's eyes were heavy, and his eyes were dark and uncertain.

"Condense the soul and bring the dead back to life, is it ...... things in the town" Yuan Yu quickly thought about the connection between these things in his mind.

"Almost. "Asahi said.

"Can the lantern really come back to life?" asked Yuan Xi again.

"The ever-bright lantern burning in the Changming Hall does have the ability to gather souls and spirits, and if it is to protect the soul of a mortal, it is more than enough. However, there are only a few Changming lamps in the Changming Palace, and the lamp souls are all formed by the spirits of living beings in the great wilderness in ancient times, and it is difficult to recreate. And it won't be lost for no reason. So I think this everlasting light is not the other everlasting light. The ever-bright lamps sold in the mortal shops are just burning for a longer time, and they don't have the function of gathering souls. As for the miracle of resurrection from the dead, the collusion between officials and businessmen is not inevitable. It's just a way to make money. "Asahi said.

"But it seems to be ...... to condense the soul and come back to life," Yuan Yu also thought, "It seems that the disappearance of the soul in the town ......"

At this time, a ghost happened to come forward and report:

"Divine Monarch Rongqi, the Canghai Moon Pavilion in the town is indeed different, as if there is an enchantment formation. But we don't have any evidence to prove that the disappearance of the soul is related to the Canghai Moon Ming Pavilion. ”

"It's okay to be idle anyway, why don't we go and see what the mystery of this lamp shop is?" Yuan Yu proposed.

"Good. ”

Chaosheng has always carried that flute with him, also in order to find Chu Ji as soon as possible.

In front of the moonlight shop in the sea, the two stopped.

"I feel like I'm getting closer to him. It was Xu Jue's voice.

Since he is a part of the primordial god of Chu Ji, he can naturally sense the existence of Chu Ji more easily.

"Is it an enchantment?" Yuan Yu clearly felt that the spiritual consciousness and aura inside the lamp shop were different from those in the outside world.

"Perhaps...... It's a shackle, or a cage. Chaosheng pointed out.

Asahei's words are unclear, but Yuan Yu seems to notice something. The two glanced at each other and walked into the lamp shop together.

The overall layout of the lamp shop is luxurious and elegant, the silk curtains of black and snow blue are undoubtedly a low-key and atmospheric beauty, and the purple sand tea cup on the sandalwood table is more set off by the owner's extraordinary interest. The smell of black agarwood in the incense box is low and long, as if it has soaked every corner.

There are many different styles and types of lamps. Not to mention the lamps and lanterns such as bean-shaped lamps, pot-shaped lamps, lotus lamps, and Changxin Palace lamps, even the most common candlesticks are also different in pattern, each with its own style. Among them, the jade hook cloud pattern and the wrong gold and silver human-shaped lamp are the most elegant and chic. During this period, there are also large and small lanterns and lanterns, which are dazzling to see. The light in the store is dim, there are just a few burning lamps, and the dim room is filled with a few clusters of warm colors, which looks very warm but elegant.

The owner was a man in his forties, with a thin physique, wearing a gray cloth shirt and an air of elegance.

Seeing Chaosheng and Yuan Xi entering the store, the shopkeeper came to greet him without hurrying, but there was no flattering face of other vendors, but he was calm and relaxed, leisurely and natural.

Yuan Yu looked at the shopkeeper, as if he already knew everything about this place, but he also felt even more puzzled because of this.

Chao Sheng didn't sense Chu Ji's breath after entering the store, but Xu Jue said that he could sense it. This can only show that Chu Ji has been here. Chaosheng instinctively felt that Chu Ji was avoiding her, and in order not to startle the snake, Chao Sheng did not ask him if he had seen Chu Ji.

"What kind of lamps do you want?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Ever-bright lights. "Yuan Xi is calm," is the kind that will not be extinguished for thousands of years. ”

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them and chuckled, "I guess you don't really want to buy this lamp." ”

Yuan Yu also looked at his demeanor, "How can you see it?"

"The two of them have excellent bones and are out of the world, if they are not immortals, they must be cultivators. "The shopkeeper said.

Yuan Yu secretly sighed that the store was very capable, but he was more curious about another thing.

"But what does this have to do with the ever-bright lantern?" asked Yuan Xi quietly.

"It's just a mundane thing, and the immortal family naturally doesn't look down on it. The shopkeeper laughed.

"Is immortality a mundane thing?" Yuan Xi felt that this boss was becoming more and more interesting.

Everyone else is a princess who sells melons and boasts about herself. There are few people like him who belittle his own things.

"Ten thousand years?" said the shopkeeper with ridicule and ridicule in his tone, "Who really lived for ten thousand years?" ”

Whoever does this business will tell the truth.

"It seems that the store owner is determined not to do business. "Hara Yu said.

Chaosheng kept looking around, and his eyes never fell on the store for a moment, and the store still felt a coercion.

The shopkeeper pretended to be calm and smiled, "How can it be, it's just a casual chat with the distinguished customers." If the guest wants to buy it, I will pick it up. ”

It is a bronze lotus lamp, the workmanship is very exquisite, the lotus petal texture is distinct, lifelike. The candle flame under the lampshade seems to have eternal vitality, and it seems to have a magic power that captivates people's minds, and people can't help but yearn for the light.

Chao Sheng pursed his lips slightly, and a strange look appeared in his phoenix eyes, but it was fleeting, and he returned to his previous indifferent appearance in an instant.

However, that look was still captured by Yuan Yu.

"What's wrong?" asked Hara.

"Shark oil. Chaosheng did not shy away from it.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised at first, and then his heart was weak, and his clenched hands were full of cold sweat. The complexion is blue and black, and it is not very good-looking in short.

"What?" Yuan Yu looked a little different, but quickly reacted.

"In the "Chronicle of Things", the mermaid paste is used as a candle, and the immortal one lasts for a long time. "Hara Yu said.

"Reading Things" is a book he only saw after he came to the Changming Palace, and there are many foreign objects and wonderful people in the book, and strange stories.

The shopkeeper didn't refute either, and in such a short period of time, he seemed to be relieved. I saw him unhurriedly take out a handkerchief, wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said:

"That's right, my ever-bright lamps here are all made of the ointment on the merman people, because legend has it that the ointment on the merman people is very special, if you use them to make the lamp, you can achieve a long-lasting effect. ”

The tremor in his voice betrayed him, indicating that he was not completely calm at this time.

"Where did you get the merman oil?" Chaosheng asked. She didn't think that a mortal could subdue a merman with infinite power. Moreover, many sharks practice immortal arts, and it is difficult for mortals to get close.

"I'll give you all the excuses. The shopkeeper said firmly.

Chao Sheng's eyes were slightly cold, "You'd better think about what you said, whether it will be your final answer." Never talk too much, there are many things that others can't do, but this seat can. ”

Chaosheng didn't want to meddle in things, but thinking of Chu Mad who was far away in the South China Sea, he sent a message back yesterday, saying that the merman clan had lost a few noble children, and he would rush back to the mortal world to investigate in a few days.

Maybe there is some connection between the two. Chaosheng thought so, and was ready to intervene. Besides, there is a clue to the beginning of the sun.

The shopkeeper was a little frightened by Chaosheng's chill and momentum without anger, "You...... You...... Are you an adult of the Xuanyuan Temple?"

The people of the mortal world call the Changming Hall the Xuanyuan Temple, but few people know that the Changming Divine Monarch is a woman, and no one can see through her identity at a glance. This only shows that someone told him all this in advance.

Chao Sheng closed the door of the store with his mind, but the heavy sound of closing the door still made the store tremble.

"If you don't say it, this seat has a way to know. But if you do, you will suffer less. ”

Chaosheng looked at him faintly, seeing that he was trembling with fear, and couldn't help but sneer. Ignoring him, he found a place to sit down.

Yuan Xi sat down opposite Chaosheng and said to the shopkeeper: "First of all, let's talk about who is the surname and what abilities you have." ”
