Chapter Seventy-Six: A Strange Jade Pendant

Gu Xiaozhao stood under the locust tree, his face expressionless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the shade of the tree, there was a wooden plank, on which lay the body of Uncle Zhang.

His eyes were closed, he looked very peaceful, and there was a red line between his eyebrows, as if scraped out of gua sha, but other than that, his demeanor was not much different from when he usually fell asleep.

"I'm sorry!"

Gu Xiaozhao said softly in his heart.

He picked up Uncle Zhang from the street, and originally wanted the other party to spend his old age in peace, after all, the other party appeared when he needed someone to take care of the house, which was also a kind of fate.

Unexpectedly, it was inevitable to die in the end.

Sadness?

There is no such sentiment.

People come from nothingness, and eventually return to nothingness, there is life and death, as long as you can't condense the Dao fruit, get through the sea of suffering, and reach the other side, even if you are a celestial person, you can't escape the fate of falling.

Death is nothing but fate.

Why grieve!

"Burial well......"

Gu Xiaozhao sighed lightly, turned his head, glanced at Gu Yin, and said softly.

"Yes!"

Gu Yin responded.

Then, he took two steps forward, stopped three feet away from Gu Xiaozhao, bent over, held a piece of jade pendant in both hands, and handed it to Gu Xiaozhao very respectfully.

"Young master, this is something that was scavenged from that thief......"

"Oh!"

Gu Xiaozhao took the jade pendant, squinted his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Gu Yin continued.

"There is nothing suspicious about that thief, except for this jade pendant, it doesn't look like an ordinary thing......"

The jade quality of the jade pendant is average, not clear at all, there are a lot of impurities, the gray and misty little green, and the only little green is not emerald, it seems that it is worthless. However, unlike the rough jade, the carving of the jade pendant is excellent, and it can be said that it is lifelike.

The jade pendant is carved with a nocturnal diagram of a hundred ghosts.

The jade pendant is not big, it is not easy to carve a hundred ghosts on it, and to carve these small ghosts vividly, even the most powerful mortal carving masters can't do it.

This jade pendant is a magic weapon.

Gu Xiaozhao could feel a fluctuation of spiritual power above.

He couldn't help but release his thoughts, and the thoughts infiltrated into the jade pendant, wanting to activate the spiritual power on it, however, I don't know if the frequency was wrong, the jade pendant was never activated.

"Huh!"

Gu Xiaozhao frowned.

There's something weird about this thing, and it needs to be studied carefully, and there may be another mystery in it.

But now isn't the time to study this thing.

Gu Xiaozhao put the jade pendant into his arms, glanced at Gu Yin, who was still standing in front of him, and said softly.

"Anything else?"

Gu Yin lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"Young master, Miss Zhou's mother's grave has been found, and she is buried on the opposite bank, on the edge of the lower courtyard of Dishui Guan, where outsiders are not afraid to enter and leave......"

Speaking of this, he glanced up at Gu Xiaozhao.

"However, it is a little difficult to bury Master Zhou there......"

Gu Xiaozhao asked quietly.

"Why?"

Gu Yin pursed his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued.

"Miss Zhou's mother worked in the lower courtyard of Dishuiguan before she died, and she is considered a person of Dishuiguan, so she can naturally be buried on the site of Dishuiguan...... Master Zhou is different, although he has practiced in the lower courtyard of the Dripping Water Temple, he is not a person of the Dripping Water Temple, and it is a little troublesome to be buried there. ”

"Really?"

Gu Xiaozhao pondered for a moment, and then said.

"Leave this matter to me, you just need to prepare everything needed for the funeral, if this matter is done well, Nie Zengguang's position will let you sit ......"

"No!"

Gu Yin replied loudly and said excitedly.

"Well, the little one is down!"

Soon after Gu Yin left, Gu Xiaozhao also left.

He returned to the inner courtyard, the courtyard was empty, and at this moment, Zhou Shiyu was kneeling in the quiet room, kneeling in front of Zhou Sen.

Gu Xiaozhao entered the quiet room and walked over slowly.

Zhou Shiyu heard footsteps, she didn't look back, still lowered her head, she was chanting something.

Gu Xiaozhao stood behind her, listening to her recite the chapter of the past with a pious heart.

Legend has it that this verse comes from the Heavenly Temple, and if recited sincerely, the souls of the deceased will be lifted to the upper realm and become the heroic spirits who protect the Heavenly Temple.

Is that really the case?

Gu Xiaozhao didn't believe it for 10,000.

It's just a helpless gesture for the worldly people to talk and comfort when they are roasted in the copper furnace, because they believe it, and it is not so painful.

In the face of the cruel reality, the awake and the sleeper are often more painful.

After Zhou Shiyu finished reading the chapter of his death, Gu Xiaozhao spoke.

"Early tomorrow morning, we will set off to bury Uncle Zhou and your mother together, I don't know, do you have any requirements for the funeral? If there is a request, but it doesn't hurt to say it......

Zhou Shiyu shook his head in silence.

After a while, he spoke.

"Father just wants to be buried with Mother, that's all!"

Gu Xiaozhao turned his head and looked at the wall covered with white paper on one side.

"What are your plans after the funeral?"

Zhou Shiyu raised his head with a blank expression.

She shook her head and whispered.

"I don't know ......"

She wanted to go back to Yuquanguan.

Although the life there is hard, it is better than simple, not as complicated as the outside world, she is actually a simple person, without much ambition and desire, just want to live simply.

It's just that she can't go back.

If she doesn't want to cause trouble to her master, Yuquanzi, she'd better not go back.

"Then, you stay!"

Gu Xiaozhao said in a deep voice.

"First of all, help you solve the defects of the exercises, after solving them, you can practice with me, and it is better to settle down than to wander around......

Without waiting for Zhou Shiyu to answer, Gu Xiaozhao continued.

"Think about it, don't be too sad!"

With that, Gu Xiaozhao turned around and left.

His steps were a little hurried, as if he was running away from something.

Walking out of the quiet room, Gu Xiaozhao took a long breath, a little annoyed by his previous behavior, even in the face of life and death, he did not suffer as much as before.

I'm also a human being in the third life!

"Young master!"

A familiar voice came from outside the courtyard, it was Gu Dazhong shouting.

Gu Xiaozhao didn't continue to be entangled, he stepped off the eaves corridor and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Previously, he had sent someone to the medicine shop by the river to call Gu Dazhong, and at this time, Gu Dazhong should have come with Master Lan.

Don't know how effective those herbs are?

Perhaps, I should also learn how to become a pharmacist, after all, I have amazing thoughts and can never forget it, and such a talent should not be wasted.

Thinking as he walked, Gu Xiaozhao came to the outer courtyard.

"Young master!"

Seeing Gu Xiaozhao, Gu Dazhong shouted loudly and was about to rush over.

At this time, a gray-haired old man grabbed him, gave Gu Dazhong an elbow, and then ran past Gu Dazhong towards Gu Xiaozhao.

The old man's face was excited, and the goatee on his chin kept shaking as he trotted.

He shouted loudly as he ran.

"Young owner, where did those miracle medicines come from?"
