Chapter 358 The Son of Heaven
Bai Xiao saw the childish performance of the female ghost. She squinted her eyes and said nothing, but she felt a little speechless.
Just at this moment, the soft moonlight poured in through the cracks of the balcony curtains and landed on the hanging chair. Combined with Du Mengyu's seven-point solid and three-point transparent texture, the scene suddenly seemed deep and ghostly.
Du Mengyu was unaware of it, rippling her calves and fiddling with the hanging chair. Then she pushed the spiritual power forward and swung the hanging chair forward and backward.
Seeing this, Bai Xiao smiled a little, then looked at the beautiful flowers placed on the balcony a few times. Xiaoling pulled her and returned to the room.
"What are you looking for?" Xiaoling squatted on the ground with a petite body, opening her suitcase and searching for something. Bai Xiao walked behind her and asked.
"Oh, when I came back from the capital this time, the head of the family specially told me to hand over the things to you."
Xiaoling took out a box from the suitcase. The packaging was exquisite and printed with some art-processed English. It was obvious that it was high-end goods.
"What is it?" Bai Xiao looked at the things that Xiao Ling had made and asked enthusiastically, was it the supplies prepared by the family for him? It was like spirit stones? Thinking of this, Bai Xiao couldn't help but look forward to it.
"I don't know either, but... it is said to be very expensive." Xiao Ling shook her head. When she was leading the things out of the family base, she happened to meet Bai Lu and the others. When they saw the things in Xiao Ling's hand, they all said that this thing was expensive.
Expensive? After saying this, Bai Xiao was even more looking forward to it, and looked at Xiao Ling unboxing with concentration.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding!" Xiao Ling opened the box. Then he blinked his dark eyes and looked suspiciously at the bottles and jars "lying down" in the box. "Huh?" A surprised gaze flashed through her eyes. He saw that the jars were very small, with a clear and matte material, and printed with gold-plated text, which looked very high-end.
She picked up one of the bottles and handed them to Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao reached out to take it, held it in his hand with a frown slightly and looked at it, with a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
She never expected that it was just cosmetics! The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. These are not things like spirit stones she imagined, but cosmetics used by women!
Although Bai Xiao has not studied cosmetics deeply, he probably knows that the bottle in his hand may be something that locks water and skin care, not rouge and water powder in the traditional sense. Maybe Bai Sihong also knows that although she has become a girl, she actually cannot accept applying it on her face like other girls, so Xiaoling brought her skin care products, not foundation, concealer and other cosmetics.
"Miss..." Seeing her stunned, Xiao Ling shouted.
"Oh!" Bai Xiao came to his senses and looked down at Xiao Ling when she saw her. She smiled reluctantly, and smiled at Xiao Ling and said, "Well, thank you Xiao Ling, I'll accept these first."
"Um!"
It was already half past eleven after visiting Xiaoling's residence. Bai Xiao returned to the room with a skin care box, but what was staying in her mind was Xiaoling's luxurious room. She shook her head in sighs and put the box of skin care products on the table. Xiaoling's follower's living conditions were even better than herself - various high-standard living facilities, and even family subsidies were added to her house.
Tsk, on the other hand, I have to pay rent every month... In addition to having a "deposit" in my hand, it is not much different from ordinary people in terms of treatment.
However, Xiao Ling's situation is "task-in-one", and it is reasonable to be equipped with a certain degree of business trip subsidy, but I don't know if I will be reimbursed for food. After thinking about it, I think about it far away... Bai Xiao shook her head with a smile, feeling that she was a little imaginative. What's this called? Greedy is not enough to swallow the elephant. After all, in terms of status, she has the identity of a "girl". Although she now looks a bit "poverty-raising", it is just an appearance. If you want to talk about the real value behind it, it is incomparable.
Let’s talk about this box of skin care products. Although they are not well-researched, they are definitely expensive.
I got up and took a few clothes from the closet, then went into the bathroom and washed it. Then I slightly tidied up my wet hair in front of the mirror, changed into clean clothes, and dragged my fragrant body back to the room, closed my eyes and prepared to go to bed.
The next morning, Bai Xiao came to the Second Hospital as scheduled and worked as a young nurse for the whole morning. Fortunately, no suspected "case" was found during the examination in one morning.
As noon approached, Bai Xiao, who had been busy all morning, was sitting on a row of chairs on the side of the physical examination hall to rest. At this time, the phone rang. He took his cell phone and saw that it was Wang Shen who called.
Speaking of which, Wang Shen did not come to the scene to provide "business guidance" today, but instead assigned tasks to the team members and went to do his own business. Bai Xiao was confused, not knowing why Wang Shen called her at this time.
Did the black beads he sent to the provincial bureau to appraisal the day before yesterday have any results?
It was almost the same if I calculated the time. Thinking of this, she answered the phone.
Sure enough, Wang Shen called her for the sake of beads! On the phone... Wang Shen told her that the black bead had been identified.
"How is the result?" Bai Xiao, dressed in nurse's uniform, looked around on the row of chairs on one side of the physical examination hall of the Second Hospital, got up and came to an uninhabited corner.
Wang Shen said: "The provincial bureau has identified that this black bead is the Soul Lock Bead!"
really!
After hearing this, Bai Xiao frowned slightly. Before that, she had heard of the name Lotus Pearl from Mu Tianchen, and knew that there must be a heinous disaster hidden behind the Lotus Pearl. Therefore, at this moment, when she heard the exact identification result from Wang Shen, she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
Could it be that a prophecy came true?
But there is actually another problem here. Although the Soul-Lock Beads were found in the secret room suppressed by the Baxia Tuan Monument, the numerous Soul-Lock Beads inlaid on the coffin can be directly traced to the time when the stone tablet was erected hundreds of years ago. It was considered a reason. Where did the Soul-Lock Beads hanging on Yang Xuhong's neck come from?
Could it be that someone was taken out of the secret room under the stone tablet? Or is there another source?
Bai Xiao buried this doubt in his heart for a while. After a while, she asked: "What do you say from the provincial bureau?"
"The birth of the Soul Pearl indicates unknown. After learning that the Soul Pearl appears, the provincial bureau attaches great importance to it and has drawn personnel to investigate the matter. They will take over the specific matters in the future, and we can cooperate from the side."
"The provincial bureau took over?" Bai Xiao said unexpectedly.
"Yes, this matter is extraordinary. For caution, the provincial bureau decided to send an execution team to intervene in person." Wang Shen explained with a smile, "This is actually the division of labor between the local team and the provincial bureau's execution team. We are mainly responsible for discovering problems and handling simple cases. If a major event occurs or the provincial bureau believes that the situation is serious, it will send an execution team to take over."
There are four executive teams in the Donghai Provincial Yuling Administration Bureau. Lin Jian's father Lin Chenghe is the captain of one of the executive teams. According to the region, Binhe City, Haizhou City and Changguo City north of Binhe City, his team is responsible for major cases in these three cities.
If there was no accident, Uncle Lin was responsible for this incident? Bai Xiao digested it a little and nodded in a clear way.
"In addition, the provincial bureau has already concluded after checking the archives of the underground secret room you reported."
"What conclusion?" Bai Xiao asked curiously.
Wang Shen said on the phone: "Two hundred years ago, the original site of Binhe University of Technology was originally a wasteland, but because there was a lake not far away, I don't know when it started, travelers and nearby villagers often fell into the water and died in vain when passing by the lake. After a long time, the saying that there are water ghosts in the lake is popular in the local area."
"Later, the government of the county town also learned about this, so he invited a Tianshi to come over to do the trick. After the Tianshi conducted on-site investigation, he believed that there was a spirit and a slander here, so he was invited by the government to resolve it. The Tianshi surveyed Jingyu Mountain and believed that Jingyu Mountain faced the lake, was located in the east of the lake, and the east side was a place where the dead souls rested. In order to allow the dead to rest, they must practice in Jingyu Mountain and draw the earth, so that the deceased can temporarily stay in Jingyu Mountain. When the resentment of the dead souls disappears, they will slowly return to heaven and earth."
"Of course, people in the government do not understand these things. After hearing what the master said, they followed the master's opinion. After the practice, the number of people who fell into the lake was greatly reduced. Decades passed like this. The magical thing was that no one died in the water. Over time, a charity village was formed on the edge of Jingyu Mountain. Anyone who died accidentally was sent to the charity village for a while. However, the charity village was established for a long time, and as everyone's memories gradually faded, various phenomena of neglecting management began to appear."
"What are you talking about rodents gnawing on corpses?" Bai Xiao asked.
"Yes, I don't know when there were many rats near the Yizhuang Village. Whenever the corpse was sent to the Yizhuang Village, it was gnawed beyond recognition the next day. Even if the coffin was closed or even heavy objects were pressed, the corpses inside would always be gnawed to pieces after a night. This incident scared the personnel responsible for the guards of the Yizhuang Village, so the guards hurriedly reported it. The local government also had concerns, worried that the person who died in vain was too jealous, so he invited another master to investigate."
Speaking of this, Bai Xiao already understood.
The master invited this time was a monk. After investigation, the master felt that the place had already formed a cemetery, so he specially built a large-scale construction to establish a temple to suppress it. Then he set up a private school to guard the yang energy of a boy. Until the temple was relocated, leaving only a single stele of the domineering monument.
Of course, these are all records in the "County Chronicles". Bai Xiao thinks that the records on the Provincial Bureau may be somewhat different from here. Otherwise, wouldn't the incident be too simple? The Provincial Bureau should have another secret.
Sure enough, Wang Shen continued: "The master invited by the government this time is a monk, with a legal name, and is known as a legal master. After the master of the legal master came to the Yizhuang, his expression suddenly became solemn. Then, with the help of the yamen runners, he dug three feet underground and found a long corridor..."
"The corridor is very long, and at the end is a tomb chamber, with a sarcophagus hanging in it. The Master of Legal was shocked when he saw it because the surface of the sarcophagus had already nurtured the Soul-Locking Bead. If it was discovered later, the Soul-Locking Bead would mature, which would inevitably cause a turmoil."
Speaking of this, Wang Shen explained, "The Locking Bead has the function of absorbing the essence, energy and spirit of the human body. The more essence, energy and spirit it absorbs, the larger its physique will be. This simply means that the evil thing that harms the world. More importantly, the Locking Bead has another function."
"What's the purpose?" Bai Xiao's attention had been mobilized. As soon as Wang Shen finished speaking, she hurriedly asked.
Wang Shen said solemnly: "The Soul-Locking Pearl will be dispersed, and when gathered, it will form a group. According to legend, it is related to a man named "North Yin Emperor" in ancient times. The Soul-Locking Pearl was worn with heavy armor, all of which were made of Soul-Locking Pearls. Wherever he passed, there were Yin soldiers and ghost generals who made great contributions. The Soul-Locking Pearls would reward the Soul-Locking Pearls. Therefore, the tomb of the Soul-Locking Pearls is also called the Tomb of the Soul-Locking Pearls."
"The Emperor of Beiyin?" Bai Xiao frowned slightly after hearing this strange name, and felt a hint of chill for no reason.
Just listening to this name makes me feel a little domineering.
Wang Shen continued: "At that time, although the statutory master discovered the tomb, the coffin inside was set up by someone, and the climate had already formed. The statutory master knew that he could not completely destroy the tomb, so he could only place an additional blockade on the tomb, hoping that time would decay it. This is the tyrant of the tyrants above."
After hearing this, Bai Xiao was silent and roughly understood the whole story of the incident. She asked, "Can you say that the person who arranged the sarcophagus was the first master invited by the government two hundred years ago?"
"The specific situation is not clear, and the archives are also vague, but according to the inference of the legal master at that time, it should be the first master."
Bai Xiao sighed, "What kind of master is he just an evil cultivator."
(ps: In recent reality, the new crown protein project has not been smooth, which is very troublesome, and it is a bit inverted day and night, which inevitably affects the update. Please forgive me.)
