The red light curtain suddenly trembled and then disappeared, and even the red semen beads in the exquisite dice settled down.
At the same time, Cheng Yu felt a sudden surge of breath not far away from him, and then there was a small and exquisite pavilion standing in a tea garden.
Four log pillars support the thatched roof of the pavilion, and there is a plaque hanging on the top, but there is no word on the plaque.
Wordless Pavilion?
When Cheng Yu was wondering, a green light suddenly lit up in the pavilion, and then a boy holding an incense burner stood upright in the pavilion.
It was none other than the boy patriarch of Jinwu Guard, Jin Shuyang.
At this time, Jin Shuyang looked a few years younger than when Cheng Yu saw him for the second time in the countryside of Gyeonggi Province. He was very different from when he was in Qianyuan Prefecture. The large robe he was wearing was dangling unfitting.
The little boy stood in the pavilion and stared at Cheng Yu intently for several breaths. In the end, he even used a tilt of his head to kill Cheng Yu, almost knocking his hair out.
Jin Shuyang looked from Cheng Yu to the exquisite dice in his hand. The hesitation in his eyes was suddenly replaced by excitement. After a slight hesitation, he bowed his hand to Cheng Yu outside the pavilion and smiled:
"Sir, please be polite!"
After Jin Shuyang finished speaking, he gently waved his sleeves, and a table and two futons suddenly appeared on the ground in the pavilion.
There is a brass teapot and two tea cups placed on the table, but there is nothing else.
Cheng Yu looked at Jin Shuyang's unfounded operations and thought to himself that he didn't know which illusion he was in at this time. Since the other party was polite and polite, he might as well make peace with it.
Cheng Yu quietly let go of his consciousness and was on guard, while he walked into the pavilion and walked to the table. Looking at the smiling childish face of the other party, he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart for some reason.
He recalled his previous encounters with the founder of the Jinwu Guard Boy, and realized that although he was no stranger to Jin Shuyang, this was the first time that the other party had seen his soul. Before, he had always hidden in the dark in his true form as a sparrow.
.
It stands to reason that the other party has not seen his soul, but looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he knows himself, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is waiting for him here.
The two of them sat opposite each other across the table. Jin Shuyang bowed his hands and said:
"It's polite to be born later in life."
Hearing this, Cheng Yu smiled slightly and immediately returned the greeting, but secretly thought in his heart, if the person opposite said that he was born late, where did he start from?
Cheng Yu was thinking about it here, but as soon as he sat down across from him, he held his hands and apologized again:
"I'm sorry for my poor hospitality. There is good tea here, but no sweet spring..."
When Cheng Yu heard this, he immediately realized that Jin Shuyang was a practitioner of the three elements of gold, wood, and fire, but he was short of water, and he was the water element. There happened to be a stream passing by outside the pavilion, but...
I don’t know if I can maintain this illusion if I perform water-bending surgery.
While he was mentally constructing the idea that Jin Shuyang would turn into bubbles, he recited the Little Water Movement technique in his mind.
"Wow!"
When the mind moves at will and after reciting the instructions, a cluster of clear water will flow from the stream outside the pavilion.
When the little boy opposite saw the water coming, he immediately smiled and raised his hand. The copper pot lid on the table flew away by itself, allowing the water to pour into the pot.
In the blink of an eye, the aroma of tea filled the pavilion, the brass teapot tipped over on its own, and a stream of amber tea poured accurately from the spout into the tea cup.
"Sir please!"
Jin Shuyang asked for tea, and Cheng Yu picked it up after thanking him. He took a sip, and the fragrance left in his mouth was refreshing.
Putting down the tea cup, while Jin Shuyang refilled Cheng Yu's tea, he couldn't help but glance at the exquisite dice in his hand, smiled slightly and said:
"Linglong Dice An Hongdou."
"I miss you deeply, do you know?"
Cheng Yu continued the second half of the sentence naturally, and the boy opposite him heard a flash of light in his eyes, paused slightly in his hand pouring tea, and then smiled and shook his head as if he had understood:
"That's it, that's it..."
At this time, Cheng Yu did not intend to hide it, but directly held the exquisite dice in his hand and showed it to the boy:
"I heard that this dice was made by...your Excellency for Princess Anting?"
Cheng Yu also paused in his words. It was because he didn't know how to address the person opposite him. It was a bit unconventional to call him sir. Addressing him directly as a boy felt rude and disrespectful, so he simply called him your Excellency.
Upon hearing this, Jin Shuyang hurriedly waved his hands and said humbly:
"How dare you, how dare you, Wansheng was created by the princess. At that time, the princess had just been canonized. When Wansheng went to Prince Yu's Mansion to celebrate, the princess actually directly asked for a gift..."
When Jin Shuyang said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled helplessly before continuing:
"At that time, I happened to have a new exotic plant called red jade beads and a piece of East China Sea lantern fish tail bone. I originally wanted to make a jade cicada and give it to the princess, but she actually asked me to help her make one.
The pair of dices were given a name later, called: Linglong Dice An Hongdou..."
Jin Shuyang said this, stared at Cheng Yu, paused meaningfully, and then continued:
"At first I was a little confused as to why the name was so long. It wasn't until I heard what my husband said just now that I realized that the origin of the dice was a poem. Hmm... I miss you so much, you know, no wonder..."
"What's the wonder?"
Seeing Jin Shuyang hesitate to speak, Cheng Yu asked directly.
"No wonder Princess Anting insisted on embedding the red semen bead into the fish bone of the lantern. In order to make the bead stay in the dice without falling out, it took a lot of trouble for Wan Sheng.
"
Hearing this, Cheng Yu played with the cool dice in his hands, fixed his eyes on the hollowed out side of the dice, looked at the beads embedded in it that were emitting a faint red light, and after pondering in his heart, he asked:
"This bead is much larger than the hollow hole, and there are no seams in the entire dice. May I ask how you stuffed this red semen bead into the dice?"
Jin Shuyang did not answer the question in a hurry. Instead, he gave Cheng Yu a drink of tea before speaking:
"This bead grows from the pee in the dice when it is young. When it grows big enough, just pick it off the branch. To be honest, this is the first time I have played with this Chi Jing bead, and I have no idea.
A little mistake..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh? May I ask what's wrong?"
Cheng Yu asked further, and Jin Shuyang smiled sarcastically and continued:
"I originally thought that after picking the beads, once they leave the branches for support, they will dry and shrink. I am afraid that the beads will fall out of the dice after shrinking, so I let them stay on the branches for a longer time. Who knows?
This thing is indeed mysterious and exquisite. It did not shrink at all after being separated from the branches, but it seemed a bit too full inside."
After Jin Shuyang finished speaking, Cheng Yu frowned even more tightly.
Hu Meizi once said that the red jingjing bead is a strange tree species in the world. It blooms once every nine years, bears fruit once every nine years, and takes another nine years to mature. Even if it starts from the time when it first bears fruit, it will take at least ten years. But
It has been less than a year since the canonization of Princess Anting.
Moreover, Princess Anting had previously said in the Cicada Garden Cottage that she asked Jin Shuyang for the exquisite dice when she was canonized, and only about a month later, Jin Shuyang prepared the exquisite dice and presented it to her.
Could it be that Jin Shuyang had been prepared for it and had stuffed the small beads that had just formed on the branches into the dice more than ten years in advance?
Or, what kind of magic did he use to ripen the red semen beads?
Suddenly, Cheng Yu remembered that at the bottom of the well, Huang Shan raised the red semen bead from the ground and peeled off a soil semen at its root.
Could it be because of the earth spirit?
It doesn’t seem right either…
When he thought of earth spirits, Cheng Yu couldn't help but think of someone in the Qianfu ancestral hall in Qingchuan County who used wood spirits to set up a demon barrier and an unknown black wooden pen tube to trap the soul of the ancestor of the Huang family.
In the end, the barrier was broken, and Huang Shan took the opportunity to rescue the ancestor of the Huang family and left in a hurry. The remaining wood spirit combined with the pen barrel directly fulfilled Jia Fei's wish.
Just now, at the bottom of the well, the roots of the red bead that suddenly grew out were wrapped with the earth spirit. The two were closely connected, and Huang Shan also spent a lot of effort to separate them completely.
But according to the theory of the five elements creating and restraining, water should be the source of wood, not earth, and wood, on the other hand, restrains earth.
In this way, the reason why the Earth Spirit appears in the roots of the Red Semen Pearl is clearly to allow the Red Semen Pearl to suppress the Earth Spirit, rather than to allow the Earth Spirit to nourish the Red Semen Bead.
If that's the case, how did the red semen bead in the exquisite dice grow so fast?
"I heard that it takes 3927 years for this red semen bead to grow. So how did you manage to make it grow in a fish bone dice in such a short period of time?"
After Cheng Yu pondered for a while, he simply asked directly.
When Jin Shuyang asked, he lowered his head and laughed dryly:
"Sir, don't you hear that a day in heaven is like a year on earth?"
"..."
Cheng Yu was speechless when he heard this. Of course he knew that one day in the sky and one day on earth, but according to what the other party said, if he wanted to quickly create the Red Semen Pearl, he had to do it in reverse: one year in the sky, one day in the world, and so on.
Only then can the Red Semen Pearl be quickly produced in just twenty days.
But after thinking about it, Cheng Yu roughly understood that what the other party said should mean that he used magic circles and other techniques to ripen the red semen beads. Time passed quickly inside the magic circle, while everything outside
usual.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yu nodded slightly, thinking that this enchantment formation was more mysterious than what he had mastered so far. It was a pity that he couldn't understand the formation formula. If he cast the spell so forcefully, he might not be able to sustain his soul power for long.
support.
He was already like this. Judging from Cheng Yu's previous observations, it was also difficult to maintain it for a long time with the cultivation level of the boy opposite.
Even if his senior brother, the thin dog demon, is added together, the two of them can do something together, but is it worth it to spend so much mana and cultivation just to make a gift for a princess?
There are other experts behind them.
Cheng Yu looked at the little boy opposite and muttered repeatedly, and suddenly remembered the four mantras the little princess had said before:
The exquisite dice disappeared without a trace, and guests from Qianxia Mountain entered the capital.
I have been searching for immortality for a long time but can't find it anywhere. Deep in the cicada garden, auspicious clouds grow.
These four mantras had appeared in front of the little princess and the two emperors respectively. The little princess was reflected by the red semen beads in the dice, while the true and false emperors appeared directly from the bottom of the well, emitting red light.
That means that these four mantras were reflected by two red beads together. Just now at the bottom of the well, when the two red beads gathered together again, they came here in a red light.
.
Could it be that this pair of Chi Jing Beads is an opportunity for me to get here?
And these red semen beads and exquisite dice were found and made by the boy opposite...
Seeing Jin Shuyang looking at him with a smile all the time, Cheng Yu asked directly:
"Mr. Cheng once heard that the dice and the Red Semen Beads both revealed four mantras, and both the dice and the Red Semen Beads were made by Your Excellency. May I ask what those four mantras mean?"
"Oh? Four mantras? But that's: The exquisite dice disappeared without a trace, the guests from Qianxia Mountain came to the capital. I have been searching for immortality for a long time but can't find it. These four sentences are born in the auspicious clouds deep in the cicada garden."
After Jin Shuyang asked back, he saw Cheng Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"To be honest, sir, the reason Wan Sheng knew these four mantras was because Princess Anting told them in private. I feel ashamed."
Jin Shuyang shook his head and smiled, but Cheng Yu was noncommittal, thinking that he didn't need to deceive me about this matter. If he really didn't know, then there must be someone skilled behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill coming from behind, as if someone was watching him from behind. He turned around and didn't notice anything unusual. Instead, he saw the rows of tea trees outside the pavilion, which seemed to be taller than before.
