Chapter 1029 The Contents Inside the Stone Coffin
Jun Wuduan's expression flickered subtly upon hearing her words.
"That's not it. My uncle did have a white moonlight in his heart that he couldn't have. That's the main reason why he never made an empress in his life."
Ye Wanxi was slightly surprised: "This stone coffin was prepared for his white moonlight?"
"It should be."
Ye Wanxi frowned, sensing that something was not quite right. If it was a stone coffin prepared for her white moonlight, why would she let people put random things inside so easily?
"In that case, may we open the coffin?"
Jun Wuduan's eyelids twitched: "Convenient, of course convenient. Although this coffin was prepared by my uncle for his beloved, isn't this a case of wanting something but not being able to have it? There shouldn't be any corpse in this coffin."
Ye Wanxi felt something was off about his words, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She simply nodded and said, "Then let's open it."
Jun Wuduan glanced at Feng Tianyu subconsciously, and seeing that he didn't react, he resigned himself to his fate and stepped forward, raising his hand to push the stone coffin.
The lid of that huge stone coffin must have weighed at least a hundred pounds. It was only because of Jun Wuduan that an ordinary person could push it open.
The stone coffin, sealed for hundreds of years, was covered in dust. When it was pushed open, a cloud of dust billowed out, making it very choking.
Ye Wanxi raised her hand to shake off the dust, then leaned closer to the stone coffin and found that there were indeed no bones inside, only a few familiar little things.
"Is this Master's Judge's Pen?" Jun Wuduan carefully flipped the stone coffin lid to one side and was taken aback when he saw what was inside.
After realizing what was happening, he smiled meaningfully and said, "Master really loves Junior Sister the most, he even left the Judge's Pen to her."
You should know that this thing is Master's natal magic weapon. Although it is not very useful after Master ascended to immortality, it is still a powerful treasure that cultivators are eager to obtain. If word gets out, I'm afraid many people will rush to snatch it at all costs.
When Ye Wanxi saw the pen, her eyes reddened slightly. She sniffed before taking the judge's pen out of the stone coffin and holding it tightly in her hand.
"This is... Blood Jade?" After taking out the Judge's Pen, Ye Wanxi finally paid some attention to the other items in the coffin.
The most eye-catching item was a crimson jade pendant carved with auspicious cloud patterns. Ye Wanxi picked it up and looked at it, confirming that she had never seen this jade pendant before, and that it was not a storage magic artifact, but just an ordinary piece of jade.
"Why would Master leave me such a jade pendant? Could it be that he's worried I'll be too poor to support myself?" Ye Wanxi played with the jade pendant, examining it closely, unaware of Feng Tianyu's sudden stiffening of his unusual behavior beside her.
Jun Wuduan chuckled twice and echoed, "That's not impossible. Just think about the hundreds of properties your second senior brother left you."
Ye Wanxi: "..." I was speechless.
Thinking back, my second senior brother had mentioned before that when Master calculated her destiny, he seemed to have foreseen that she would suffer loneliness and poverty in her early life.
That was indeed the case before she returned, so it makes sense to leave behind this jade pendant.
But Ye Wanxi always felt that if that was the real reason, her master should have left her more than just this jade pendant.
The third item inside the stone coffin was a scroll, which appeared to have been specially treated and carefully preserved.
Otherwise, so many years have passed, the outer coffin would have been destroyed, let alone such a piece of calligraphy and painting.
Ye Wanxi took out the scroll and unfolded it. After seeing the contents, the three of them showed surprise in unison.
However, compared to Ye Wanxi, Feng Tianyu and the other two's surprise was clearly more complex and difficult to discern, showing a sense of solemnity.
"Is this painting... me?" Ye Wanxi looked at the woman in the painting, her brows furrowed.
To be fair, the painting is very evocative. The woman stands in the garden, surrounded by various precious flowers and plants, with pavilions for rest and shaded by trees nearby. It is truly a picture of a beautiful woman holding a fan and appreciating flowers.
Of course, it would be even better if the woman in the painting didn't have the same face as her.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ye Wanxi felt that everything about the painting was strange. First of all, the woman in the painting was wearing a pale yellow long dress, decorated with clusters of photinia flowers.
Ye Wanxi doesn't like photinia flowers, let alone print them on clothes. Her master should know this too. If he really painted this picture, he wouldn't have made this mistake.
Of course, the most outrageous thing is that the woman in the painting has her hair tied up in a bun, just like a married woman.
She had never even been in a relationship in her past life, let alone gotten married!
"This painting wasn't painted by Master, was it? The people in the painting..."
Before Ye Wanxi could finish speaking, Jun Wuduan interrupted her: "How could it not be drawn by Master?"
"But this hairstyle..."
"Before my master ascended to heaven, he always regretted that he was not able to see you get married."
Upon hearing Feng Tianyu's words, not only Ye Wanxi but also Jun Wuduan were shocked!
What regret is there that I didn't get to see my junior sister get married? Master never even thought about letting my junior sister get married, okay?
Don't think he doesn't know. Back then, when Master found out about the man's feelings for Junior Sister, his first thought was that even if Junior Sister was blind enough to fall for someone, he wouldn't let her marry him. He would have to make that person a son-in-law, otherwise, no way!
Someone is saying such shameless things to cover up the truth. If Master finds out, he'll probably be so angry that he'll shatter the void and come to clean up the mess.
Unfortunately, Ye Wanxi knew what Jun Wuduan knew.
She was actually swayed by Feng Tianyu's words.
If that's what Master thinks, it makes sense, and the photinia flowers on the clothes also have a suitable explanation.
The flower language of photinia is loneliness and solitude.
Master probably wants to see her get married, but he's also reluctant to let her go, feeling that once she's married, he'll be all alone, lonely and isolated.
Thinking about it this way, this painting not only conveys a sense of remembrance, but also contains resentment and dissatisfaction.
If Jun Wuduan knew what Ye Wanxi was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to resist grabbing her shoulders and shaking her violently to wake her up and stop her from believing everything someone says.
The last item inside the sarcophagus was a silver dagger with a handle inlaid with precious gems.
"A dagger?" Ye Wanxi held the dagger and examined it carefully. She found that the dagger, like the jade pendant, was just an ordinary weapon and there was nothing special about it.
"I don't quite understand these things my master left me. Is it really necessary for him to set up a bloodline barrier outside with just these few items?"
"Master must have his reasons for doing this."
Having confirmed that there were no other items left inside the stone coffin besides these few things, Feng Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious, and changed the subject, saying, "Now that we have everything, it is not advisable to stay here any longer. Let's leave first."
