Chapter 607 White Clams

Qi Ning returned to the house, closed the doors and windows, then took out the wooden box from under the bed and placed it on the table. He made sure that there was no one around, so he looked at the wooden box carefully.

He just took the box back, but without looking closely, he hid it under the bed. Now Beitang Feng has taken the blame, which is considered worry-free. He saw that the wooden box seemed to have just been made and could even smell the wood fragrance. The wooden box was locked. He carefully opened the wooden box and felt a cold air coming from the box.

Qin Ning was worried that something was wrong in the box, so he took a step back and immediately saw a white air coming out of the box. He didn't realize it just now, but at this moment, the air around him seemed to have started to become cold in an instant.

Qi Ning was surprised and sure there was no abnormality. Then she got closer and saw a cold air filled the box, curling like smoke, waving his hand to disperse the cold air, but saw a dazzling white thing in the box. After taking a closer look, she saw that the thing was like a sea clam, and the clam shell was as pure as snow, and it was flawless.

Qi Ning was a human being in his two lives. He had seen a lot of sea objects, and he had seen countless clams and had seen all kinds of colors. However, he had never seen such sea mussels as white as snow without any flaws.

The white clam emitted a stream of cold air, which surprised Qi Ning even more. He knew that the clam meat did clear heat and relieve fire, but the sea clam itself did not emit coldness. He knew that the white clam was definitely extraordinary, otherwise Gong Zhaxi and others would not regard it as a treasure.

The box was covered with frost, which was obviously caused by the cold air emitted from the white clam.

He couldn't help but reach out and touched it. As soon as his fingertips touched the clam shell, a bone-broken chill came straight from his fingertips. It was May, the sky was high and the air was cool, and the temperature in Dongqi was not low, but at this time Qi Ning felt like he was in the middle of winter.

Qi Ning withdrew his fingers and found that the clam shell was moving slightly. He was shocked and wondered if the white clam was still alive.

He knew that after the sea clams were out of the water, they would not survive for too long. Unexpectedly, the white clam seemed to be alive for a long time.

It was quiet all over the place, and there was only the lonely lamp in the house with a fire. Qi Ning thought about it. He thought that if Gong Zhaxi had said before, if they could not get the box back, they would not be able to return to Qinghai-Tibet. In this way, were they traveling thousands of mountains and rivers to come to Dongqi for such a thing?

By the way, this white clam is very rare. When it is hot, the cold air emitted in the room makes people feel the heat. This alone is also a rare treasure, but this white clam has a lifespan and cannot survive for a long time. Moreover, if it is just to prevent heat, several lamas will come from thousands of miles away, which is really incredible.

He wanted to figure out what secret the white clam was hiding. He took the cold blade and gently tapped the clam shell with the blade tip again. This time the white clam reaction became even greater. The two clam shells slightly opened a gap, but soon closed tightly. With one opening and closing, a cold air spurted out from the clam mouth.

Qi Ning was very interested. He knew that there was a lot of articles inside the white clam. He really wanted to see what secret was hidden. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the yard. He immediately closed the box and took the box under the bed at lightning speed. At this time, he had heard Qi Feng's voice: "Marty!"

Qi Ning took a deep breath. This matter was of great importance. Even Qi Feng and others didn't want them to know. They went over and opened the door. Qi Feng was in the heretic: "Mr. Marquis, I see that there is still a light in your room, so I come to report."

"What's the matter?"

"Taogan came just now." Qi Feng smiled and said, "Those lamas blocked the bridge deck. The Northern Han people were guilty and dared not approach. The people in the inn reported Taogan, and Taogan rushed over overnight and went to persuade him."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "What's the situation now?"

"The lamas didn't leave at the beginning. Tao Gan persuaded them for half a day before the lamas left. They put down their words. If the Northern Han people did not return the things, even if they died, they would have to get entangled to the end."

Qi Ning smiled and said, "This Prince Feng likes to steal."

Qi Feng lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who these lamas are?"

"Aren't they lamas from the ancient elephant kingdom?" Qi Ning saw Qi Feng's mysterious secret and asked in a low voice: "Does there be any other origin?"

Qi Feng gloated and said, "Marty, the Northern Han people have caused great trouble this time. I just learned that those lamas seem to be disciples under the throne of the Great Snow Mountain in Qinghai-Tibet!"

"Dharma King Zhu Sun?" Qi Ning's expression sterned.

Qi Feng nodded and said, "This is what Tao Gan said in person. He said that these lamas actually followed the decree of the Dharma King Zhuri, traveling around the world, increasing their knowledge, recording everything outside, and taking them back to let the people of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom know the outside world." He smiled and said, "Don't bother with whether the travel is true or false, but they are disciples under the Dharma King Zhuri, so there should be no mistakes."

Qi Ning nodded slightly, thinking about something.

"Marty, Zhuri Dharma King is one of the five great masters. Legend has it that his martial arts are superb, and Zhuri Dharma King has an unparalleled status in Qinghai-Tibet." Qi Feng smiled and said, "The north hall is not aware of the high and strong sky. If Zhuri Dharma King this time, I will definitely not be able to get anything good in the future. If Zhuri Dharma King comes out in person, the Northern Han people will be in trouble at that time."

Qi Ning asked, "Can the Dharma King Zhuri come to the Central Plains?"

Qi Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know this, and I have never heard of him coming to the Central Plains. In fact, there are not many people who know about the Dharma King Zhu Ri. I have heard what Duan said, when the general was alive, he often drank with Ximen Shenhou, and often mentioned the five great masters. At that time, Duan was close to the general and knew more than us." After thinking for a while, he said, "Boss Duan said that the Dharma King Zhu Ri was like a god in Qinghai-Tibet, and he also said that Da Zanpu of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom would bring people to the Daxue Mountain to worship the Dharma King every year. If he offended the Dharma King Zhu Ri, he would offend the entire Ancient Elephant Kingdom. Marquis, do you think Beitangfeng had a big disaster this time?"

Qi Ning laughed and said, "Does the Northern Han people know that Gong Zhaxi and the others are disciples of the Dharma King Zhuri? If they know, they will be so scared that they will pee their pants."

Qi Feng also laughed and said, "Mr. Marquis, Tao Gan wanted to see you just now, but he was worried that you had already rested and it was difficult to disturb you, so he asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that the Prime Minister of Dongqi would hold a banquet to entertain the envoys of both countries tomorrow night, and he would send someone to invite him at that time!"

"The Prime Minister of Dongqi?"

Qi Feng said: "It is probably before the king of Dongqi approached the mission and asked the prime minister to explore the wind first."

Qi Ning nodded and asked, "Qi Feng, have you ever seen the sea?"

"The sea?" Qi Feng was stunned, not understanding why Qi Ning asked this question, and shook his head and said, "I have heard that I have never seen the real sea. Marquis, are you going to the sea?" He knew that after Qi Ning was born, he had been staying in the capital, and he had been traveling for the country recently. He only thought that Qi Ning wanted to see the sea.

Dongqi Kingdom is located on the coast, and if you want to see the sea, the journey is not far.

Qi Ning smiled and said, "I always want to see you. Actually, I want to ask you, have you eaten in the sea?"

Qi Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, there are a lot of sea goods in our mansion. Before, officials from the East China Sea sent a large number of sea goods to the court every year, and many of them were delivered to the Marquis' mansion. We don't charge cash, but those fresh sea goods were still accepted."

"There is a kind of sea clam in the sea. Have you ever eaten it?" Qi Ning asked softly.

Qi Feng nodded and said, "I have eaten it, but after I salvaged the sea clams, Lishui will die soon. I won't be able to keep them for long. They will be dried and sent to the capital. They eat jerky clams."

Qi Ning thought about it and asked, "What do you think is special about sea clams?"

"What's special?" Qi Feng was puzzled and touched the back of his head, saying, "There's nothing special, Marquis, you!" He thought of something and smiled, "Yes, Marquis, I heard that pearls were taken out of sea clams. If it was said to be special, does this count? The tributes sent to the capital of the East China Sea include many pearls taken out of sea clams."

"pearl?"

Qi Feng nodded and said, "I heard that there is a special area of ​​water used to breed pearl mussels. When the pearls grow, they take out the pearls from the sea mussels and send them to the capital as tribute." He smiled and said, "But I heard that the pearl mussels I breed produce pearls, but they are not considered high-quality goods. Really valuable pearls need to be fished in the deep sea. The pearls produced by those wild pearl mussels are the most expensive, but those pearl mussels are hard to come by. Anyway, I have never seen pearls produced by wild pearl mussels. I also heard that those wild clams can not only produce pearls, but also have a good medicinal material to cure diseases."

"Medicinal materials?" Qi Ning frowned: "Milt meat cures diseases?"

Although Qi Feng felt that the little marquis was a little strange, he didn't think much about it and nodded, "I don't know much. I remember one year when I was eating clam meat with them, they talked about it. Not to mention wild clams, even ordinary river clams can cure many diseases. Wild clams are even more precious, and they treat more diseases."

Qi Ning murmured to himself: "It turns out that sea clams can cure diseases."

Qi Feng whispered: "Mr. Marquis, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Qi Ning smiled and said, "I just asked casually. It's too late. You should take a break early." He added, "Don't make public what I say to you."

Qi Feng was puzzled, but nodded and said yes. When Qi Feng left, Qi Ning closed the door and took out the box again. He opened it, and didn't hesitate to take the cold blade and knocked it on the clam shell twice. This time the white clam immediately had a large clam shell. In the fog-like cold air, Qi Ning was shocked to find that there was indeed a white pearl as white as snow in the white clam, which was obviously much larger than an ordinary pearl.
