Chapter 66 Snow in Early Winter (Undercovered)
Xiao Lingxiao took the brocade box back to Qingheyuan, sent the demon wolf to send a letter, and then let Bao Ronger guard it in the inner room. She called out the divine wolf and took the brocade box to Lufu silently.
After waiting for a moment in Lu's house, a carriage hurriedly stopped at the door of the house. After a while, Xuan quickly stepped into a side room in the inner courtyard.
After seeing Xiao Lingxiao, Xuan even forgot the Buddha ceremony he usually made. He came forward with a smile and said, "Lingxiao, why are you so anxious to call me?"
Xiao Lingxiao smiled and said, "Thanks to you, the monk, you can stay in the imperial city for so long. There is something I want you to show me."
The two saved the greetings and sat around the table. Xiao Lingxiao opened the brocade box given to her by the eldest lady, did not hide it, and said, "The eldest lady asked me to give this thing to Princess Haiyan. See what this is."
Xuan just took a look, and the smile on his face disappeared. He was surprised to pick up the brocade box and look carefully at the pebble-like thing inside. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "This thing... How can it be here?"
"What is this?" Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xuan's face and knew that this thing was unusual. She knew that it must have been unintentional for the eldest lady to give this thing to her, but she didn't expect that such a broken stone would surprise Xuandu so much.
Xuan sighed and shook his head and said, "This old lady really has some tricks. In order to frame you, she did such an adventurous thing."
This pebble-like thing in the brocade box is actually a forbidden object treasured in the palace, called underworld. This thing looks simple and unpretentious, but it hides a lot of mystery. It is said that this cobble can shine magnificently in a specific place at a specific time every year. However, this thing has been treasured in the harem since the previous dynasty. After the change of dynasties, no one knows what its origin is, and where and when it can appear in the magnificent light.
Later, I don't know when it started. There are rumors that this saliva is actually a divine stone that can predict the rise and fall of the world. If the world is prosperous, this stone will not be stable. When the world is about to be in chaos, this stone will appear in the world. Some people even say that this stone will bring great disaster to the world...
Xiao Lingxiao listened to Xuan's story and looked at the stone again. He was puzzled, "Is such a broken stone that powerful?"
Xuan Wenyan sighed again and said, "You don't know anything about Lingxiao. I have practiced for thousands of years, and I have seen countless anecdotes and strange things, but only this thing makes me have to retreat three points. I can't touch this broken stone.
"Can't you touch it?" Xiao Lingxiao was surprised and surprised.
Xuan nodded and stretched out his hand to carefully approach the saliva. But before his fingers touched it, he saw that Xuan's whole hand was shrouded in smoke. When Xuan withdrew his hand, Xiao Lingxiao fixed his eyes and looked at it again. His hand had turned into a claw with long sharp nails and thick wolf hair!
This inconspicuous salivate stone can actually make the demon who has been practicing for thousands of years appear in its original form!
"God Wolf God Wolf! Come out and have a look! Baby!" Xiao Lingxiao patted the table and said loudly.
With a flash of white light, the divine wolf turned into a human form and appeared. As soon as it appeared, Xuan hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully. The wolf looked at him, waved his hand impatiently, and then looked down at the "smouth", reached out and picked it up without care, and then bent the corners of his mouth and said happily, "If someone says that a fool has a fool's blessing, master, you are really lucky!"
Xiao Lingxiao stared at it fiercely when he heard the words. The divine wolf smiled and then said, "Some souls are inhaled into the cracks of space-time and can't get out. After a long time, they are grinded into such soul crystals. There is a lot of energy in this thing, and it is extremely repulsive to space-time cracks. Master, if you wear this thing on your body, I guess it will have a certain inhibitory effect on your sudden fainting.
The explanation of the wolf is very simple, but Xiao Lingxiao understood its meaning when he heard the words "space-time crack". As for why this thing can make Xuan appear in his original shape, the divine wolf only looked at Xuan coldly and said lightly, "He hasn't practiced enough."
This sentence remained in Xuan's mind like a muffled thunder. Xiao Lingxiao saw Xuan's blow. He was really a little sorry and hurriedly drove the divine wolf back to his body.
"The old lady must not know so many things about this. Let's think about why she gave this thing to me." Of course, the eldest lady will not kindly give such a treasure to Xiao Lingxiao. Xiao Lingxiao just picked up a big bargain this time. But how much trouble is behind this cheap one? They don't know anything about it.
The top of Xuan's head seemed to be a cloud, barely supported, and said to Xiao Lingxiao, "The inner room Huangmen checked the items in the palace as usual at the end of the year. The day before yesterday, it was found that the old treasury was gone. For this reason, the inner servant Huangmen also arrested a lot of eunuchs and bodyguards to investigate, which made people panic. However, after all, there is such a legendary forbidden object, so not many people know about this matter... I don't know why this thing is in the hands of the eldest lady, but if you give it to Princess Haiyan, after Princess Haiyan brings it back to the palace, it will inevitably cause a disturbance, and Lingxiao, you will definitely be involved in the end..."
After Xuan said everything he knew, he staggered away with the cloud above his head.
Xiao Lingxiao picked up the salivate stone and found that it was very warm.
Soul crystal, the divine wolf said that the human soul is a flow of energy, so this thing is the condensed soul, that is... has also lived in a certain world?
Xiao Lingxiao shook his head and decided not to consider the problem of soul crystal for the time being, or think about how to break the trap given to her by the eldest lady first. The eldest lady can actually give her the forbidden objects in the palace, which can also be said to be the capital. According to the eldest lady's idea, this capital must be exchanged for Xiao Lingxiao's life, but now Xiao Lingxiao is the one who hold the capital. How to continue this business is up to Xiao Lingxiao himself.
Xiao Lingxiao thought about it, but still felt strange. According to Xuan's words, as long as this thing is exposed, Xiao Lingxiao can't shirk it. Why does the old lady have to give this thing to Princess Haiyan by name? Who is this Princess Haiyan? The eldest lady does not participate in the activity of stepping on the first snow. What did she arrange?
Xiao Lingxiao could not know these things for the time being. When she returned to Qingheyuan, Bao Ronger told her that Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu had been waiting here for a long time.
Xiao Lingxiao came to the hall and saw that Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu looked at her with a little fear. She couldn't help smiling secretly. The matter of Xiao Huanyu shocked the whole Prime Minister's mansion. Many people secretly rumored that what happened to Xiao Huanyu and Qi Huile was secretly done by Xiao Lingxiao. Now it seems that Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu also think so.
The two first presented a gift, and then Xiao Zechun said carefully, "I heard that my mother arranged for us to go to the first snow with my elder sister?"
Xiao Lingxiao nodded and smiled, "My mother also said that my eldest sister is like a mother. Let me pay attention to Liang Xu for you."
When Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu heard this, they both made a surprised expression. Both of them are concubines, and marriage is what they are most concerned about.
The two looked at each other. Xiao Zelu hurriedly got up and came to Xiao Lingxiao's side and whispered, "Sister, in the past, Zelu was young and ignorant. Please forgive me. If the elder sister has any orders in the future, Zelu will definitely do it..."
Xiao Zelu was slapped in the face by Xiao Lingxiao last time, and then went to the old lady to complain with her eighth aunt, but the matter soon came to an end. Now looking at her like this, she doesn't seem to hold a grudge at all, and she is very afraid of Xiao Lingxiao.
But Xiao Lingxiao looked at the two of them and immediately thought of something. He snorted coldly in his heart and said, "Look at what the fifth sister said, we are all sisters of the Xiao family. It is natural for me to take care of your two sisters. Don't worry, there are many rich and noble princes participating in the first snow this time. If you like which one you like, tell me. My sister will definitely find a way to promote your marriage. On the day you leave the cabinet, my sister will definitely prepare another dowry for your sisters, so that you will not only have the face of the Xiao family, but also the glory of a lifetime. Rich and noble."
Everyone knows that Xiao Lingxiao is rich now. After she said this, Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other, and there was a lot of waves in her heart.
"Sister wants to prepare another dowry for our sister?" Xiao Zechun hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking.
As commoners, their dowry when they come out of the cabinet is naturally only the level of concubines. If the master's mother is generous, they will have a good marriage, and they may be able to get more dowry. However, the two of them know that this matter is in the hands of the eldest lady Qi, and nine times out of ten, what they can get is probably only the big guys. I know so much.
Both of them were just jealous of Xiao Lingxiao's fortune overnight, but they never thought that she, as the eldest sister, was rich and wanted to prepare another dowry for the two concubines who had also bullied her... Not to mention whether this good thing will happen, Xiao Lingxiao can say this alone enough to make The two of them were shocked.
Looking at Xiao Lingxiao again, she just smiled as a matter of course and said, "Sister, I have a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Of course I do what I say. When I come back from the first snow, I will ask someone to prepare for you. This kind of good thing is sooner or later. What do you say?"
Xiao Zechun and Xiao Zelu's mind buzzed until they came out of Qingheyuan. Xiao Zelu looked back and saw that no one followed them. Then she asked Xiao Zechun in a low voice, "Fourth sister, do you think what Xiao Lingxiao said is true?"
Xiao Zechun took out a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He frowned and said, "Don't you know that she has gold and silver now? Nine times out of ten...is it true..."
"So... what should we do?" Xiao Zelu said distressed, "Xiao Lingxiao... Doesn't she really think that the eldest lady will let her decide our marriage?"
Xiao Zechun shook his head, and the two quickly went back to discuss countermeasures.
In the Qinghe courtyard, Bao Ronger asked Xiao Lingxiao with an puzzled face, "Do you want the master to prepare a dowry for them?"
Xiao Lingxiao's eyes were deep and he smiled indifferently, "It's just a dowry. What's wrong with preparing?"
