Ning Zhishui was annoyed by the noise, so he cast a barrier around the four of them, preventing their shouting from being heard.
They wailed silently, their bodies trembling in extreme pain, their faces covered with tears and snot.
They wanted to struggle, but their hands and feet were tied and they couldn't use any strength.
In the end they no longer had the strength to shout.
The flames gradually engulfed their faces, and their vision became blurred until everything returned to calm.
The Ten Thousand Bones Spirit Fire only burned four people and did not burn the surrounding areas, so things like what happened in the previous life did not happen.
Ning Zhishui sighed softly, "I'm leaving, what about you?"
"I want to go back to my clan too." Dongfang Jing glanced at Jiang Yun and whispered to Ning Zhishui, "You don't need to worry about the immortal artifact. Just do what you want to do. Leave the rest to me, just like... that."
What he meant was that Ning Zhishui could still be as free as in her previous life. As for the power of faith and spiritual objects, he would take care of them. In this life, he could still refine the Shengyun Mirror for her.
Ning Zhishui shook his head and said, "I already know how to do it. I can do it myself. Thank you for your kindness."
In her previous life, she did not use the Ascending Cloud Mirror, but in this life, she will make her own magical weapon.
Dongfang Jing vaguely realized something, "It seems you have a plan. Will it be a big move?"
"……meeting."
"Will you get in trouble for this?"
"Probably not, I suppose."
"I'm not afraid of getting into trouble."
"……Um?"
"So if there's anything I can do, just ask."
Ning Zhishui fell silent.
"Take this empty sound whistle." Dongfang Jing didn't wait for her to answer, but handed it to her. "Blow it three times quickly, and I'll sense your location and come to join you."
"good."
Ning Zhishui thought about it and accepted it.
"Let's go." Dongfang Jing turned around.
"Walk?"
"Well, we'll leave the Howling Wind Forest together first, and then we'll separate."
Ning Zhishui's next itinerary is to attend the alchemy conference, but there are still a few days left, which is enough time for him to leisurely walk out of Fengxiaolin.
Dongfang Jing said that he wanted to go together, which showed that the next thing to do was not that urgent, so she agreed.
Jiang Yun followed the two of them silently, wishing he could disappear right where he was, but he was also afraid that there would be some dirty and tiring work to do on the way, and it would be inconvenient if he stayed away.
So I hung around not too far away, looking to both sides all the way, as if there were beautiful scenery along the way, and tried not to look at how the two people in front were chatting happily and smiling at each other.
Alas, there is no other servant in the world who understands his master's mind as well as he does!
In fact, it was only when Dongfang Jing asked about the spiritual fire that Ning Zhishui mentioned the matter of Wan Gu to him.
"The Chen family, Hidden Fragrance... The Chen family only treats their direct descendants in this way, but that person should not be the most valued among the direct descendants, otherwise he would have triggered the photo stone before his death." Dongfang Jing said.
Photo stone!
This is a very expensive talisman, but it has a very simple function.
There must be a mother stone for a photo-taking stone, and the number of child stones depends entirely on personal choice.
The mother stone is often kept at home, while the child stones are worn on the body. They are usually made into jewelry, such as hairpins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, or main stones inlaid on belts.
The person wearing the sub-stone will trigger it when their vitality drops sharply to the bottom. At that time, the sub-stone will transmit the picture in front of it to the mother stone, and the mother stone will also make a sound to remind.
The picture on the mother stone does not stay for long, so it often needs to be watched by a dedicated person who will draw the picture as quickly as possible after seeing it and hand it to the owner for inspection.
After all, a mother stone may have dozens of sub-stones tied to it. If the people wearing these sub-stones unfortunately die at the same time, the mother stone will flash the images transmitted by these sub-stones in turn, and then disappear.
At this time, more people may be needed to work together to draw and save the picture.
So, for example, in large families and sects, there's a casual job called guarding the mother stone. The more sub-stones there are, the more people there are to guard them, and they work in shifts, and they might not even have to work for years...
But generally speaking, the manpower and material resources consumed are too great. Unless the younger generation is being trained as an elite disciple, it is not worth using the photo stone.
After all, the value of just one seed stone is more than 50,000 crystal stones, and once it is dripped with blood, it is considered to have been used and cannot be used again by a different owner.
Not to mention the mother stone, which is even more expensive.
Compared to the Image Stone, the cost of the Invisible Incense and Invisible Bee is much lower. This shows that they have a good status, but they are not the most valued.
This means that if the murderer cannot be found, the Chen family will simply let the case go, rather than continuing the investigation regardless of the cost.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Even if it really was found on me because of the Myriad Bone Spiritual Fire, they don't have enough evidence to prove that it's related to me."
He has the Xianlai Sect behind him, and he is not a casual cultivator who can be easily bullied by them.
"You need to find a way to keep the spiritual fire secret for two months. Don't reveal it to anyone else during this time." Dongfang Jing looked at her. "Is that okay?"
"Two months? Okay."
Ning Zhishui didn't know what he was going to do, but after thinking about it, he agreed.
Not to mention two months, she could have kept it a secret even for two years.
When the two were halfway through their journey, they faintly heard movement ahead of them. It was definitely not a sound that could be made by a few or even a dozen people.
The two looked at each other, "Feng family?"
In the forest, the Feng family's caravan was traveling in an orderly manner.
In an animal cart, there was a girl in white clothes with a plain face and no makeup. Her long hair was tied up with a ribbon. There were at least ten kinds of medicinal herbs on the table in the cart. She was holding a pen and writing something intently.
If you look closely, you can find that it is a mostly written recipe for an elixir, and this recipe is different from any other one that has ever been published.
The girl seemed to be stuck, feeling somewhat distressed. She unconsciously twirled the ends of her long hair with her fingertips. "I just need this one ingredient to merge it... What should I use?"
"Miss Nine."
The old steward's kind voice came from outside the animal cart, "There are three monks passing by. After seeing our caravan, they said they want to meet the young lady. Look..."
"See me? How did they know it was me in the car?"
The girl's thoughts were interrupted and she couldn't help but frown slightly, but there was only confusion in her words, not annoyance.
"When they saw it was the Feng family caravan, they asked about the leader of the Feng family," the steward said. "It seems they understand the rules of our caravan."
Outsiders didn't know that every time the Feng family caravan set out, there would always be at least one Feng family leader accompanying them. Therefore, outsiders would at most ask the manager in charge of the caravan, rather than the "Feng family leader."
The so-called person in charge could be the master and mistress of the Feng family, or a young master or young lady... But no matter who it is, they will be someone with status in the Feng family, not just someone sent casually for the sake of perfunctory.
