Chapter 338 340 Soul Gathering Jade Talisman
"Senior, it's you. The last time we met, you were wearing a mask and protective clothing, and I didn't recognize you. No wonder I felt something was wrong at the time. It turned out to be you." Rong Xianxian said happily.
If Zhuo Xingcan had not insisted that the poison was swallowed by the deceased himself and the suspect was limited to an acquaintance, Rong Xianxian would not have been able to get out of trouble so easily.
Logically speaking, the clues at the time could not determine how the deceased was poisoned. Rong Xianxian later couldn't figure out why the military doctor helped her, but now she finally understood.
"Haha, it's obvious that someone wanted to frame you. How could I just ignore it!" Zhuo Xingcan relaxed now.
"Senior, you were dressed so warmly that day that I didn't recognize you. But I didn't change my appearance or hide my name, so you wouldn't have failed to recognize me, right?" Rong Xianxian looked at Zhuo Xingcan with scrutiny.
They didn't recognize each other at that time because they were afraid that others would know about their relationship, which would be detrimental to the case at that time. Later, when the matter was settled, why didn't Zhuo Xingcan show up?
"Then, didn't you leave? I went to look for you but couldn't find you!" Zhuo Xingcan said helplessly.
After learning from Ning Qingtian that Rong Xianxian was the wife of the seventh son of the Ning family and already had a pair of children, Zhuo Xingcan felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to face her.
Zhuo Xingcan knew about that girl's charm. Although he had an embarrassing status as an illegitimate child, he was still sought after by many noble ladies. Rong Xianxian had good taste in being her wife, but he was just infatuated with her and felt unwilling to accept the fact, so he simply decided not to see her.
Later, I got used to seeing human nature and witnessed a lot of life and death, and my thoughts on romance and love in the past became indifferent.
When Zhuo Xingcan finally figured it out and decided to get along as friends in the future, Rong Xianxian left the main group and no one knew where she went. When Tai Jingan left safely, Rong Xianxian returned to the team. He had so many things to do that he finally made time to meet her today.
"Old Zhuo, you actually... Wait, senior, she can't be the one you're looking for..." Before Ning Qingtian could finish her words, Zhuo Xingcan stepped on her foot and crushed it hard. "Ah" Ning Qingtian screamed.
"Haha, you see, Captain Ning can testify that I really went to find you." Zhuo Xingcan said with a smile.
When old friends met again, Rong Xianxian specially took out a jar of fruit wine brewed from spiritual fruits to entertain them. The delicious food and intoxicating wine made both the guests and the hosts happy.
We set off early the next morning and arrived at the Jindu Safety Zone just after noon.
The Taijing Safety Zone that we passed by before was formerly a major agricultural province, the Xitang Safety Zone was formerly a major industrial province, and the Jindu Safety Zone was formerly a port city with good port conditions, superior geographical location, and developed import and export trade. However, when the Jindu Safety Zone was first established, for safety reasons, the safety zone was built in a mountain area far away from the port.
Rong Xianxian carefully looked at this safe zone built according to the terrain. The person who presided over the construction of the safe zone's fortifications must be a master who is proficient in mechanical engineering. The various mechanisms and traps outside the safe zone are very hidden and blend seamlessly with the natural environment. When Rong Xianxian saw a soldier trying to take an elevator to go underground, she knew that the underground, and even the belly of the mountains surrounding the safe zone, might have been occupied by those in power.
The accommodation for the main force was arranged by the authorities in the safe zone, but Rong Xianxian and his group had to rent a house on their own.
Rong Xianxian looked around carefully along the way. The safe zone was in good order. Most of the people on the street were in a hurry and looked very busy. There were also a few small shops open on the roadside, but they were deserted and looked very deserted.
It will snow heavily starting tonight and it will not stop for more than a month. From tomorrow the world will turn into a sea of white. The temperature will drop sharply to minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius. The ground will be frozen and there will be no way to go. They will stay here until the ice and snow melt before they set out on the journey north again.
Rong Xianxian rented a yard near the foot of the mountain. According to the usual principle of renting a house, the more remote the place and the longer the rental period, the cheaper the rent. Rong Xianxian paid three months' rent and received a rental contract with an official seal.
"Sister Rong, we will be leaving after staying for three to five days at most. Why do you want to rent it for three months?" Jiang Jie said with some heartache.
"The weather changes so quickly. What if we can't leave after three or five days? Renting for three months won't cost much more than renting for one month. It's better to be prepared. We don't lack that little money anyway." Rong Xianxian said generously.
"Uh..." In fact, there is a big difference between the money spent on renting for three or five days and the money spent on renting for three months.
Rong Xianxian came to the yard where she rented and carefully checked the yard inside and out, and also examined the surrounding environment. The yard was geographically remote and affected by the terrain. There were few houses built nearby and few people living there. Similarly, there were basically no patrol and supervision personnel.
In terms of security, although this location is within the safe zone, there are no official patrol personnel around it, so few people rent houses nearby.
However, Rong Xianxian was attracted by the remoteness and quietness of this place, where no one would disturb her, and it was a good place to concentrate on cultivation.
Rong Xianxian decorated the courtyard to her liking and then went to study the book of talismans.
After practicing quietly for an entire afternoon, Rong Xianxian finally completed the spirit gathering talisman that she had been developing.
At night, it was snowing heavily and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth increased dramatically. Rong Xianxian took out the jade that she had prepared long ago and began to carve the spirit-gathering jade talisman.
With her mind and body united and her spirit focused, Rong Xianxian almost reached the state of forgetting both herself and the world. In an environment filled with rich spiritual energy, the carving knife in her hand steadily drew out perfect symbol lines in one go.
The spirit-gathering jade talisman that Rong Xianxian had been planning to carve was successfully completed.
With the blessing of this spirit-gathering jade talisman, Cui Lie's chances of advancing will be much greater.
The next morning, Jiang Jie opened the door and saw that the sky and the earth had turned white. Even their door was half buried in the snow. Looking at the still falling heavy snow and feeling the biting cold wind, Jiang Jie didn't know what he felt for a moment.
"Sister Rong, have you learned weather forecast?" Jiang Jie looked at Rong Xianxian with a strange look. He couldn't ask Sister Rong if she could tell fortunes, right?
"Haha, what a coincidence, what a coincidence. You see, winter should have been here. It's just that it happened particularly suddenly this year." Rong Xianxian said perfunctorily.
"Did everyone feel it? If the snow doesn't stop and the ice doesn't melt, we won't be able to continue our journey. Now that the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth has increased, it's a good time for us to concentrate on practicing." Rong Xianxian turned around and said to everyone.
