Chapter 23: The Jade Pendant
"Are you really Xia Dadi, the son of General Xia Zhenxiong?"
Chao Yingying, who knew that her brother was so thick-skinned that her eyes couldn't help it at all, immediately looked at Xia Fan again, with inexplicable excitement in her eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"That's right, I'm Xia Dadi. ”
Xia Fan, who had always been surprised in his heart but calm on the outside, admitted it calmly, and then looked at Chao Zhuwu again, admired it in his heart, and was also curious about the reason why Chao Zhuwu revealed his identity.
"Wow, you're really Xia Dadi?"
"Brother Chao is really admirable, just by simply combining a few things together, he guessed the identity of Zaixia. Xia Fan smiled and nodded at Chao Yingying, and then saluted Chao Zhuwu, expressing his admiration for Chao Zhuwu.
"Where, where!"
Chao Zhuwu immediately returned the salute modestly, but then the next words betrayed his gentle image again.
"You don't know that this handsome guy is not only handsome in Pingyang City, but also has a nickname called 'Jack of Trades', it's normal to guess that you are Xia Dadi!"
"Then I don't know what Brother Chao is going to do with me?"
Although Xia Fan had already guessed that Chao Zhuwu would not do anything unfavorable to him, combined with the fact that Chao Zhuwu could guess his identity, Xia Fan did not think that Chao Zhuwu had nothing to eat and play with himself.
"Haha, don't worry! This handsome guy won't be in the same league as Qiu Xuyang, so you don't have to worry. The reason why I want to confirm whether you are Xia Dadi or not, is to consider the next decision. ”
Chao Zhuwu smiled heartily, then looked around Xia Fan meaningfully, and finally returned to Xia Fan again with a smile on his face.
"What?"
Chao Zhuwu's strange behavior as if looking at a work of art and the panicked smile on his face not only made Xia Fan confused, but even Chao Yingying on the side asked strangely.
"To tell you the truth, the unique cold poison of the dark attribute martial soul martial arts in your body, even this handsome guy can only temporarily help you suppress the cold poison, and this handsome guy can't suppress it for too long, at most a year, you will eventually freeze to death in pain. ”
"What, big brother, don't you claim to be the number one in Pingyang City's medical skills?
As soon as Chao Zhuwu's voice fell, Chao Yingying immediately exclaimed, and Xia Fan's face changed.
Chao Zhuwu was very satisfied with Xia Fan's performance, and then glanced at his sister, Chao Zhuwu explained to Xia Fan again: "This kind of cold poison is different from ordinary poison, it is not only poisonous, but also contains a trace of dark attribute true qi power, unless there is a light attribute martial cultivator in the same realm as the poisoner, otherwise it is not too much higher than the poisoner, and it is almost certain to die." ”
After listening to Chao Zhuwu's narration, Xia Fan, who was originally worried, put his mind at ease, on the one hand, he remembered that the pure yang qi in the Sun Sutra could restrain the cold qi, on the other hand, he thought of alchemy, and there was still a year to go, Xia Fan believed that he could think of a way, so Xia Fan's face eased again.
Seeing that the worried look on Xia Fan's face disappeared in just a short moment, Chao Zhuwu couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think again when he saw Xia Fan, according to common sense, Xia Fan was deeply cold and poisonous at that time, and it was impossible to escape from the Prime Minister's Mansion to Chao Mansion, and when Chao Yingying called him, and when he helped Xia Fan check his condition, Xia Fan still had no signs of dying, and even Xia Fan's final awakening time was much earlier than he expected, which made Chao Zhuwu confused.
"Are you not afraid of death? or do you know the martial cultivator of the light attribute martial soul?"
Chao Zhuwu saw that Xia Fan seemed to have no fear, so he asked out loud.
"I'm already a person who has died once, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Xia Fan shook his head and replied while pretending not to be afraid of death.
Although Xia Fan said this, in fact, he didn't think like this at all in his heart, he cultivated the Sun Sutra, and it had a restraining effect on all the cold qi, at that time he was just careless, Xia Fan believed that if he found him at the beginning, he would not be so embarrassed, in addition to the pure yang qi of the Sun Sutra, he could also alchemy, and he believed that he would definitely be able to find a way to detoxify within a year. However, the reason why Xia Fan answered like this was because he vaguely felt that Chao Zhuwu must still have a way, and if he could be allowed to take it out, it would not only save him the trouble of finding a way to detoxify, but also would not bear the worry of cold poison threatening his life.
Sure enough, the Chao Zhuwu brothers and sisters nodded secretly when they saw Xia Fan looking like he was at home, obviously admiring Xia Fan for having such a mentality.
"Take it around your neck, it will absorb the cold poison from your body. ”
I saw Chao Zhuwu take out a small jade pendant in the shape of a long strip from his neck, and then handed it to Xia Fan, who instinctively took the jade pendant and put it in his hand.
"Big brother, you ......"
"Yingying!"
Chao Yingying exclaimed again, and was immediately stopped by Chao Zhuwu, Xia Fan looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"What is this?"
Xia Fan couldn't help but ask, he felt that this jade pendant was definitely not an ordinary thing, which could be seen from Chao Yingying's expression.
"What it is, I don't know, I only know that it accompanied me when I was very young, it is quite precious to me, and it can solve the cold poison on your body, which is also the reason why I just wanted to determine your identity, although this thing is very valuable to me, but you are the son of General Xia, it is worth taking out from me, but you must take good care of it in the future, and return it to me after the cold poison is removed." ”
Chao Zhuwu's voice sounded slowly, and sure enough, this is a very important thing for Chao Zhuwu, and in the end, Chao Zhuwu changed his previous indecent appearance, and explained to Xia Fan seriously.
Seeing Chao Zhuwu's solemn face, Xia Jiang carefully looked at this thing, only to see that this thing was in the shape of a long strip, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom; the material was like jade not jade, like wood and not wood, and it was slightly cool to hold it in his hand; if you looked carefully, you could also find what was faintly carved on it, Xia Fan released his divine sense, only to see a tiny Taiji diagram in the narrow place below the jade pendant, and the wide place above was engraved with complex and profound unknown runes, these runes faintly gave Xia Fan a sense of familiarity.
Although these runes made Xia Fan feel familiar, Xia Fan had no intention of continuing to study, he already knew the importance of this thing to Chao Zhuwu, so he decided to return it to Chao Zhuwu after the cold poison was cleared.
Bringing the jade pendant to his neck, Xia Fan was grateful to Chao Zhuwu: "Thank you Brother Chao! Brother Chao rest assured, I will definitely cherish this thing, and I will definitely return it to Brother Chao after the cold poison is removed." ”
"Okay, you're welcome, Yingying and I will go get you some food, you leave my house quickly after eating, your clothes and that short sword have been taken by me to temporarily lure away the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I don't guarantee that they will come again, so you leave my house quickly." ”
Chao Zhuwu said and pulled Chao Yingying, who had been left out in the cold, to walk outside the house, although Chao Yingying still had many questions, she could only follow away reluctantly under Chao Zhuwu's pull, but she took a deep look at Xia Fan again before leaving, and Xia Fan was also looking at her at this time.
After the Chao brothers and sisters left, Xia Fan hurriedly sat down on the bed, and after a while, Xia Fan really felt a trace of chill in his body swimming in the meridians, which made Xia Fan couldn't help but feel cold, and then Xia Fan felt a faint warmth in his chest, and the coldness on his body was soothed, and Xia Fan was relieved.
In order to confirm his guess, Xia Fan once again used the Sun Sutra Heart Method, controlling the pure yang qi generated by the Sun Meridian to surround the meridians with a trace of chill.
At the same time that Xia Fan verified his guess, the Chao brothers and sisters had already moved away from Xia Fan's place, and at this time, Chao Yingying broke free from Chao Zhuwu's hand and stood in place and looked at Chao Zhuwu with a puzzled face.
Chao Zhuwu was very helpless about Chao Yingying's actions, he knew that if he didn't solve her doubts, he didn't know what else she would do, so he had to explain: "You want to ask me why I gave the jade pendant to Xia Dadi so easily?"
"It's good to know, tell me honestly. ”
Chao Yingying said angrily, she knows more about the preciousness of this jade pendant than Xia Fan, so he knows that Chao Zhuwu cares about that jade pendant, usually even if she wants to take a look at it, it is difficult for her to take a look at it, today Chao Zhuwu gave it to Xia Dadi so easily, although Chao Zhuwu took out the jade pendant to save Xia Dadi, the son of the famous general of Xia Guo, but this reason still could not convince Chao Yingying.
Chao Yingying once heard Chao Zhengyuan say that this jade pendant was carried by Chao Zhuwu when he was born, maybe no one believed it, but this is the case. Chao Zhuwu was born unable to cultivate martial arts, even if he couldn't reach the realm of martial arts, but wearing that jade pendant, Chao Zhuwu could not be afraid of cold and heat, and even Chao Zhuwu himself said that his achievements in medical skills were also attributed to that jade pendant.
"Okay! I'll tell you!"
Chao Zhuwu's face was full of righteousness, and he sighed and continued: "Now that the matter is over, I can't help but tell you, Yingying, you are not young, you are almost at the age of talking about marriage!
When Chao Yingying heard this, a touch of shyness couldn't help but appear on her face, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Although Chao Yingying's expression was under his eyes, Chao Zhuwu couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued: "Although Xia Dadi is only fourteen years old, he is already a talent, and at this time he has become a powerhouse in the Spirit Martial Realm, and only such a genius can be worthy of my Chao Zhuwu's sister." What's even more commendable is that Xia Dadi has more cities than Xia Zhenxiong, so I don't have to worry about your safety in the future, so Yingying and I are all for you. ”
"For me?" Chao Yingying asked suspiciously, obviously she still couldn't understand what Chao Zhuwu meant.
"It's stupid! Since Xia Dadi will definitely become my brother-in-law in the future, what's wrong with me using the jade pendant to save my brother-in-law. ”
Chao Zhuwu suddenly returned to his previous appearance again, said a few words to Chao Yingying, turned around and continued to walk forward, and Chao Yingying was still digesting Chao Zhuwu's words in the same place, Chao Yingying heard Chao Zhuwu call Xia Dadi his brother-in-law, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and then soon found that Chao Zhuwu's words were inappropriate, and chased after him angrily again.
