Chapter 49: Jade Box Pills
Chen Zhong, who was standing aside, was also worried, but he had to suppress his emotions and said to his wife: "Stop crying, bring Wanqing to see Mr. Wu first, and let Mr. Wu see if he can help her."
After hearing what her husband said, Wang Xia held back her tears and nodded and left the main hall.
Soon, Wang Xia came back, and two little girls from Chunqiao Xia Liu came in behind him, supporting a girl who was slightly older than them. The girl being supported was Chen Wanqing.
Chen Wanqing was killed because of her appearance. Wu Sheng was immediately amazed at first glance.
Unlike Zhou Ping, who is in a family of aristocratic families, even though Chen Wanqing is not much different from her appearance, her temperament is definitely different.
Chen Wanqing is both petite and weak in both face shape and figure. Her black hair is first tied behind her head, and then naturally hangs downwards behind her back, leaving two strands to her shoulders. Perhaps because of her weak constitution and the ghost spirits are lost, the ends of the two strands of hair appear dark red.
On the round face, willow leaves bent eyebrows and big eyes, but unfortunately, because the ghost spirit is missing, there is no aura of agility. The nose is slightly straightened and the apricot mouth is tightly closed. Although the figure is slightly small, it is exquisite and orderly.
Because Zhou Ping was born in a family, even at the age of flower, she revealed the feeling of being a lady from a noble family. The occasional cunning and lively feeling is just embellishment.
Because of the lack of ghost spirits, Chen Wanqing is in a state of speechlessness and no action. Even so, her beauty is not far from Zhou Ping. Unlike Zhou Ping's ladylike temperament, Chen Wanqing looks even more weak and gentle. Even if she does not have any movement now, her unique temperament can be a little bit known from the details of her appearance, etc.
Chen Wanqing's beauty is the feeling of being gentle as a small family, which makes people feel sympathetic.
After Chen Wanqing was helped in, Wu Sheng carefully observed and determined that she was a ghost. Then Wu Sheng asked Mrs. Chen to cut off some of Chen Wanqing's hair and held it in her hand to sense it with the [Soul Chasing and Death] talent skill. Chen Wanqing was helped back to the west wing by two girls.
The ghost's hair is also an external manifestation of the three souls, but it does not belong to the core. As long as it is not a core missing, the three souls can quickly replenish themselves.
This is the first time Wu Sheng has used the [Soul Chasing and Death] talent. To be honest, this talent skill has brought him many benefits before, but Wu Sheng has never used it once, so he has not found an opportunity to use it.
When Wu Sheng contacted his breath with Chen Wanqing's hair, a very unique feeling surged into his heart, as if there were two invisible and intangible lines connecting these hairs.
One connection point is not far from the west, which is the west wing room where Chen Wanqing stays; the other location is in a very far place, and Wu Sheng's ability cannot be specifically perceived. If nothing unexpected happens, the second location is Chen Wanqing's ghost location, which is the place where evil practitioners hide, and now it is located in the living world.
The feeling conveyed to Wu Sheng with [Soul Chasing and Death] is that as long as he reaches the Yang world, he should be able to find that place.
So Wu Sheng opened his eyes that were closed to get rid of distracting thoughts and nodded to Chen Zhong and his wife who were waiting for news: "Miss Chen's ghost is still there. I will go to Yangshi in half a month. Then we can see if we can find Miss Chen's lost soul."
Finally hearing the answer they wanted, Chen Zhong and his wife didn't know what to say. They just cried with joy while constantly thanking Wu Sheng. This matter was not a problem for Wu Sheng, but for the Chen family, it was always a huge rock that was pressing on their hearts.
Seeing the joy from the heart of Chen Zhong and his wife, Wu Sheng was also infected and felt in a good mood.
After Chen Zhong and his wife calmed down, Wu Sheng asked Chen Zhong for the location of Baihe Temple where his son Chen Yuan was. Wu Sheng could find the things that trapped Chen Wanqing's ghost spirit, but he didn't know how to release his soul intact, so he probably had to find Chen Yuan for this matter.
When Wu Sheng learned about Chen Yuan’s residence, he chatted with Chen Zhong and his wife for a few more words, so he said goodbye and left.
Chen Zhong did not force himself to stay. He personally sent Wu Sheng to the carriage shop in Luo'an City, and after paying the carriage fee, he turned around and returned home.
Chen Zhong came back this time and planned to take his family to Nanlin City, because the ghost tide was about to start, even Luo'an City was not as safe as Nanlin City.
When Wu Sheng returned to the Chenggong Mansion's home, it was already dark. After dealing with the matter at hand, Wu Sheng could finally take out the gift Zhou Ping gave him.
Zhou Ping originally reminded Wu Sheng that the elixir left behind in Fuxi Sect might have a strange phenomenon once he took out, so he did not dare to take it directly before completing the work at hand. Now that the matter is done, it is time to see the relics of Fuxi Sect that were treated so seriously by Miss Zhou.
The blue-white jade box is still the same, with dense geometric segments on it. In a world full of ancient atmosphere, I found that this jade box with many modern geometric lines carved into it looks very awkward.
The patterns on the blue and white jade box are not only slightly inconsistent with the sense of the times, but also give Wu Sheng a sense of indescribable meaning. Wu Sheng could feel that meaning as soon as he saw this jade box, but he still didn't know what that meaning meant.
Because Wu Sheng felt very uncomfortable when he always looked at the jade box, he was fortunate that he no longer went to see the jade box and opened it directly.
There are two shallow grooves in the jade box. The elixir in one of the grooves has been taken away by Zhou Ping, and there is also a pearl-like white moist elixir about the size of an index finger knuckle in the other groove.
This pill is as white as pearls and has a higher transparency than pearls. The surface of the pill seems to have some textures, but it is too small to see clearly.
Zhou Ping once reminded Wu Sheng that it would be best to swallow the pills immediately once they opened the jade box, otherwise there would be trouble. She didn't say what kind of trouble it was, and Wu Sheng didn't want to see what the trouble it was, so he quickly picked up the pills and swallowed them.
When Wu Sheng opened the jade box, strange phenomena appeared in the sky of the entire soul world.
In the realm of the dead, there are no stars in the sky at night.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the underworld was full of stars as in the sun. Later, before the first catastrophe of destruction began, all the stars gradually disappeared. No one knew what was going on, and after the catastrophe of destruction began, no one cared about this strange phenomenon.
Some people have also studied it in later generations, but no one found reliable evidence to convince others. The disappearance of the stars became a unsolved case.
When Zhou Ping took the first pill in the jade box, the originally empty sky was instantly filled with stars. At that time, she didn't know that the stars in the sky were reappearing, so she didn't swallow the pill immediately.
As a result, not long after the stars appeared, tiny thunder appeared in the sky, slowly gathering, and the volume and power gradually increased. Fortunately, Zhou Ping did not keep holding the pill, but swallowed it into her body before things continued to deteriorate, and all kinds of visions disappeared.
