Chapter 1017
Shi Xian looked at Bingqing's room and said, "We people all have extraordinary backgrounds, and we are destined to experience extraordinary things. The things in this world cannot be explained in one or two sentences. Like the well outside, what is hidden by the people who built it? none of us knows. ”
Ning Zhe took off the clothes that were soiled by Yue'er, and said helplessly: "You study the well yourself, I'll go and wash the clothes." ”
"Where is there water in this house, and there is no basin, how can I wash clothes?" Ning Zhe searched around the house but couldn't find a bucket or basin.
Shi Xian said embarrassedly: "I forgot to buy the bowls, chopsticks, pots and buckets, I haven't lived for a long time, and I forgot all this." ”
"Damn, I said how it felt empty when I first entered the house, like something was missing. Ning Zhe said loudly, looking very angry.
At this time, Bingqing pushed open the door and poked out his head, his face was red, and he whispered: "I forgot to buy the futon, it's my fault, I patronized it in the morning to buy food for Yue'er." ”
Ning Zhe took out a new piece of clothing from his luggage and put it on, looked at the embarrassed Shi Xian and Bingqing, and said helplessly: "I'm really convinced of you, the snow outside is getting smaller, and it is estimated that it will stop soon, let's hurry up and prepare daily necessities." ”
Hearing Ning Zhe's words, Yue'er got out of Bingqing's side, ran to the living room, and said, "I'll also go shopping with you." ”
"Let's go, get everything you need back before dark. Ning Zhe patted Yue'er's head and said to Shi Xian and Bingqing.
So the three of them left the house with Yue'er, and when they left, the whole house was empty.
Snowflakes fell all over the courtyard and piled up next to the ancient well, and slowly, the snowdrifts next to the ancient well actually melted and turned into a puddle of water, which flowed to the edge of the well, and was finally absorbed by the dark green edge of the well.
The yard was quiet, and the silence was a little eerie.
Ning Zhe and the others bought a lot of things and hired a groom to pull them back in a carriage. At this time, several people were carrying things into the house one after another, and after carrying all the supplies into the house, Bingqing packed them up, placed them in the house, and cleaned the room.
At this time, Shi Xian had just finished paying the money to the groom, sent the groom away and returned to the courtyard, and found Ning Zhe looking around in the courtyard.
"What are you looking at?" Shi Xian asked.
Ning Zhe pointed to the ground of the yard and said with a solemn face: "You see that the snow in this yard is gone." ”
After Ning Zhe's reminder, Shi Xian found that the snow in this courtyard was gone. In this regard, both of them focused their eyes on the mysterious ancient well.
"There is no smell of life in this yard, and it must be because of this well that all the snow in this yard has been lost. Ning Zhe said.
Shi Xian nodded and said, "I haven't seen such a strange well in my life for so long, I'll stay here tonight, I want to see what kind of movement it makes." ”
Ning Zhe walked to the well and touched the edge of the well, he felt a warmth, not the cold he felt when he first touched it. He pondered, turned back to Shi Xian and said, "Let's go eat first, I bought a few meat buns on the way, and I will accompany you to keep vigil after eating." ”
So the two went back to the house, and after eating the meat buns, they went outside together.
At this time, it was already night, and Yue'er ran with the three of them for a day, and she was also tired and fell asleep very early. Bingqing covered Yue'er's quilt and came out to accompany Ning Zhe and the others.
Of course, the three of them would not be stupid to stay next to the ancient well, they all sat in the pavilion, chatting and paying attention to the well.
In the silence of the night, there was only the small conversation of the three people. The scattered stars in the sky twinkled in infinite silence. The quaint house in the courtyard, with the cold and dark sky in its back, was a little unclear.
The night was eerily quiet. The cold winter night wind swept the dark, dead and silent land like a knife. The moon was like a half-dead man's face, and its cold light was faint, and it could not penetrate the dark night.
Ning Zhe was drowsy, and after observing for so long, there was still no wave.
Shi Xian couldn't sit still, he walked to the side of the ancient well, patted the edge of the well, observed for a moment, and said, "This is an unknown jade, but I can't feel its fluctuations, and I don't have a trace of aura. ”
Bingqing said: "Could it be a kind of jade, the kind of rare jade that can forge magic weapons?"
Shi Xian shook his head and said, "Ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures all have aura, and they won't be like it without a trace of aura. ”
Ning Zhe yawned and asked, "Didn't you ask the old master of this house about this well at that time?"
Shi Xian said, "I asked, but the previous owner of this place said that this well is as old as this house, and the generations of descendants who have lived in this house have not found anything strange about this well. ”
Ning Zhe also walked over, looked at the ancient well and said, "I guess it was because you broke the stone wall that covered the surface of this well today, so it showed its clues and wiped out all the snow in this courtyard." Otherwise, the successive owners who lived in the house would not have discovered its strangeness, or the old owner of the house had deceived you, and he did not want to tell you the secret of the well. ”
"What you say is nonsense, now we can only take our time to explore, this jade must have an extraordinary origin, but it is by no means immortal jade, because immortal jade has aura, and there is no breath on it. ”
"We can't say the answer when we talk about it, it's not broken, it's not fast, look at me. Ning Zhe was sleepy, and when he couldn't wait, he pulled out the Le Shen Sword and slashed towards the edge of the well.
With a sonorous sound, the fairy sword and the ancient well collided with sparks, and a magical force bounced the fairy sword away, and Ning Zhe was also stumbled and almost fell.
Ning Zhe held the immortal sword in his hand and stared at the ancient well, and Shi Immortal and Bingqing also looked at it intently.
At this time, a stream of red liquid suddenly flowed out from the edge of the well that was cut by Ning Zhe, Shi Xian walked over cautiously, stretched out his hand to dip the liquid on the edge of the well, and then put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said: "There is a smell of blood, this strange jade is actually bleeding." ”
"This is immortal jade, suppress evil spirits, don't move the seal. Ning Zhe silently recited the words engraved on the edge of the well, and suddenly his face sank, and he exclaimed: "I know, it's not that this well suppresses evil spirits, but that this jade is sealed with evil spirits. It's possible that this sword just touched the seal of this jade!"
Hearing Ning Zhe's words, Shi Xian suddenly remembered a past incident and said loudly: "I remember, a long, long time ago an old man said to me that there is a dark green jade that although it has no aura, it is also a kind of immortal jade, this kind of immortal jade comes from the legendary immortal world, called blood jade. If it hurts its surface, it will also bleed like humans and animals. However, blood jade is not a material for forging magic weapons, but it can absorb all kinds of liquids, and ice and snow will melt and be absorbed by blood jade. The most distinctive feature of the Blood Jade is that it has a wonderful space inside, which can accommodate endless things. ”
"So the evil cult mentioned above is indeed sealed in the blood jade?" Ning Zhe asked rhetorically.
Shi Xian nodded and said, "Yes, but you don't have to worry. This blood jade is the one who recognizes the lord, and only its owner can open the wonderful space in the blood jade, otherwise even if you smash this blood jade, you won't be able to unlock the seal of that wonderful space. ”
Listening to Shi Xian's words, Ning Zhe patted his chest and said, "It's okay, or I would have made a mistake." If we really release the evil that is sealed in this, we don't know if we will be able to deal with it. ”
Shi Xian sighed lightly and said, "Now that I know that it is blood jade, I am a little disappointed, and I thought it was some kind of strange treasure." Now rest assured, no one but its owner can control it. But it's strange why its owner disguised it as a well and put it in this ordinary person's house?"
Ning Zhe smiled: "This is not simple, it means that the owner of this house is not an ordinary person." ”
"Oh, my elm head, why can't I figure out such a simple question. Shi Xian patted his head and said embarrassedly.
Ning Zhe was so sleepy that he yawned constantly, covered his mouth and said, "Since we know that this blood jade is of little use to us now, let's go back to sleep." Tomorrow we will go to the old owner of this house, I wonder what kind of person he is. ”
Ning Zhe returned to the house in a daze, Bingqing and Shi Xian said goodnight to each other, and then returned to the house.
Late at night, everything is silent. Suddenly, a man in black quietly fell from the sky, he landed in the courtyard, put a letter next to the ancient well, and then quietly left, without any sound, like a lonely ghost.
At dawn, Ning Zhe and the three of them were still asleep because they slept late. Yue'er opened her eyes, put on her clothes and quietly jumped to the ground, carefully pushed open the door, and went to play in the yard.
Although Yue'er seems innocent and ignorant of the world, her mind is also very sensitive. She knew that her master, Ning Zhe and Shi Xian were all observing the ancient well in front of her, so she also came to the well curiously, and found that there was a letter on the ground that was pressed by the stone, so she picked it up curiously, and then went back to the house and put the letter on the big chair in front of the living room.
After putting the letter away, she ran back to the yard and played for a while, and when she was bored, she practiced the Ice Spirit Gu.
This Ice Spirit Gu was only recently taught to her by Bingqing, because Bingqing had already decided to pass on the position of head to her in the future. Yue'er's qualifications are very good, although she has not cultivated any spells before, but learning this Ice Spirit Gu is a matter of learning it.
At this time, she was waving her arms in the courtyard and silently chanting the mantra, and a few small Gu worms were summoned after a while.
Although this Ice Spirit Gu is the appearance of a Gu worm, it is the caster's ability to condense the Ice Spirit Gu by operating the True Qi and transforming the True Qi into Extremely Cold Qi, combined with the unique Poison Gu technique.
The newly condensed Ice Spirit Gu exists in the body meridians of the caster, and as long as it is summoned by the caster, it can be used by the caster.
The Ice Spirit Gu summoned by Yue'er now is very small, indicating that her strength has not yet reached the corresponding strength.
Yue'er practiced the Ice Spirit Gu for a while, but she still felt bored, so she secretly went back to the house and took out the key, opened the door, and sneaked out to go shopping by herself.
Bingqing was the first of the three to get up, she woke up and saw that Yue'er was gone, so she went outside to look for it, and found that the door was opened, she shook her head helplessly, this little apprentice has always been so lonely and lonely, when Yue'er was in the ice field, she always secretly went to the snowy mountains far away to play.
But Bingqing is not worried, because Yue'er is very clever and has a strong memory, she remembers the way, and she never forgets everything she sees.
Bingqing glanced outside the gate and found that there were gradually more people on the street. She used to live in the ice field and couldn't cook, so she went to the street to buy food.
She bought some steamed buns and side dishes, and when she came back, she found that Shi Xian and Ning Zhe were still asleep, and their snoring could be heard clearly outside.
Bingqing was very annoyed by the deafening snoring of the two, put the buns and vegetables on the table and was about to go outside, just when she put down the buns and was about to go outside, she suddenly found a letter on the chair next to her.
So she opened the letter curiously, and a few words were written on it:
"I am not the owner of this house, the real owner of this house died a hundred years ago. I am the guardian of the blood jade, and the inside of the blood jade is sealed with an ancient beast. My master once instructed me to transfer this piece of blood jade that sealed the ancient beast to a man named Shi Xian. Because the master and his old man specially instructed me not to directly tell Shi Xian about the blood jade sealing of the fierce beast, otherwise Shi Xian would not accept it. So after I found this person called Shi Xian, I have been secretly following, it just so happened that yesterday Shi Xian wanted to buy a new house, and I knew that this house is now, so I set up this bureau, defrauded Shi Xian of two thousand taels of silver and successfully completed the task given to me by the master, I have to say that I am really a very smart person, today I will tell you the truth, you don't have to worry about me, and you don't have to thank me. Mountains and rivers meet, we will see you in the rivers and lakes!"
After reading the letter, Bingqing showed a look of crying and laughing, and said to himself: "The person who wrote this letter is as shameless as Ning Zhe......"
A moment later, Ning Zhe and Shi Xian walked out of the room in a daze at the same time, looking like they hadn't woken up.
Bingqing opened the steamed buns and side dishes he bought in the morning, and said to the two: "I have already bought the steamed buns, I have finished eating, let the two of you eat the rest." Shi Xian, here's a letter for you. ”
"Oh, which old man wrote to you?" Ning Zhe's eyes widened, he punched Shi Xian, laughed, and picked up the letter on the table and read it.
Ning Zhe read it, and when he finished reading, he found that Shi Xian's face was green with anger.
"Are you being cheated by others?" Ning Zhe looked at Shi Xian sympathetically, even if Shi Xian was rich, the two thousand taels of silver was not a small amount.
Shi Xian was so angry that he snatched the letter and tore it up directly, and snorted angrily: "It must be an old thing I knew before, and now I can't care about this blood jade if I don't want to." ”
Ning Zhe took a bite of the bun, looked at Shi Xian, and wondered: "Didn't you say that no one except the owner of the blood jade could unlock the seal inside, why do you have to care about it?"
