Chapter 16: Family
Shi Han's heart moved. The mother of Liu in this body might not be simple. Maybe she really has a relationship with the immortal cultivator. The Yuehua bracelet is not something that ordinary people can have. The original owner's mother's surname is Liu, not Gu.
Shi Han thought for a moment and said, "Senior, don't just claim to be a relative just because you grab someone. We are absolutely fine!"
The phantom soul did not say anything. He just took out something like a jade plate from somewhere and waved his hand. Gu Shihan felt a pain on his fingertips and a drop of blood fell on the jade plate.
"you?"
Gu Shi was horrified. He didn't expect that a ghost figure could be so powerful. He didn't even have a chance to dodge.
The shadow sighed, and the shadow of the soul became fainter and fainter, and the voice became more ethereal: "My friend, I'm sorry! I'm about to dissipate, so I have to give it a try. I'm sorry! Alas! You are right, I really took it for granted!"
Seeing that it had come to this, Gu Shihan was no longer angry. The jade plate did not react at all, so he smiled helplessly.
Suddenly, a light flowed on the jade plate and quickly absorbed the drop of Gu Shihan's blood. The jade plate emitted a faint red light, flashed, and then there was no reaction.
"There is a reaction, you??? You must be the descendant of my brother's bloodline, absolutely! God bless our branch! Child, I have some experience in the art of formation, shall I pass it on to you?" The phantom said excitedly.
"This... maybe it's a coincidence..." Before Shi Han finished her words, a white light quickly shot into her forehead, and the man and the beast were horrified.
Gu Shihan soon calmed down. There were indeed more things in his mind. After checking, he found that it was the inheritance and experience of the formation, as well as the skills and experience practiced by the phantom.
"Child, I'm going to disappear, live well!"
Gu Shihan watched helplessly as the shadow turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
"Hanhan, are you really a descendant of the Gu family? Could it be that your mother..." Xingbai also found it difficult to accept such a thing.
"Xingbai, I can only say that it's possible! The senior disappeared too quickly, and I didn't have time to ask about the Yuehua bracelet. Maybe he knows something."
Gu Shihan took out the jade box and put the ashes away, planning to find a place to bury them. After all, he had received a favor from him.
"Hanhan, this black bead is a soul bead." Xingbai said, looking at the black bead.
Gu Shihan knew about the soul bead. As the name suggested, it had the function of nourishing the soul.
However, the soul bead is not omnipotent for the soul, that is, the soul cannot stay in the soul bead for a long time. Generally, if a soul has a soul bead, the soul can be kept for a thousand years.
This senior had been in the soul bead for nearly a thousand years, which is why his soul power was dissipated and he disappeared from the world, without even the chance to be reincarnated.
If someone had discovered it a hundred years earlier, perhaps he could have taken over another body and been reborn, or perhaps he could have had someone help him enter reincarnation again...
All the spiritual objects in the space ring are of no use, and the medicine bottles are empty. I guess they were used by the senior to heal his injuries.
There are seven array plates. Although the spiritual light is a little dim, it can still be used with the nourishment of spiritual energy.
There are only a few gray jade slips, nothing else of use.
Of course, the storage ring is of a fairly high level, about a hundred square meters in size, and can be used.
"Hanhan, put away the jade bottle and jade box. These things are more useful than porcelain bottles.
There are still a few pieces of kraft paper that haven't completely turned to ash. There are a lot of formation diagrams on them. Do you want to try to copy them down?" Xing Bai said as he counted the things.
"No need! It's all in the inheritance given by the senior. Xingbai, let's take a day's rest and then set off for Western Jin Dynasty. Perhaps we need to start from the Liu family to find out the reason. Alas! I feel that many things are becoming more and more confusing. It seems that I was arranged to come here. I feel a little unhappy when I think about it!" Gu Shihan said, looking up at the sky.
"Hanhan, there is nothing to worry about. You are the owner of the Yuehua Bracelet and are destined to be an extraordinary person. You must take the path of cultivating immortals. With Xingbai here, you will definitely be able to cultivate immortals!" said the little white fox Xingbai seriously.
A month later, Gu Shihan left the Canaan Mountains and entered the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty.
The Western Jin Dynasty was similar to Dong'an, with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. However, this had little impact on Shi Han, so he directly sneaked into the Western Jin Dynasty's imperial city.
Gu Shihan rented a house from a private family. The owner was an old lady, who rented the house just because Gu Shihan did her a small favor.
When the old man knew that Gu Shihan wanted to rent a house, he made room for her and told others that she was his nephew's child.
The road citation disc is also very important in the Western Jin Dynasty, especially when staying in a hotel, this thing is indispensable.
Gu Shihan had originally planned to go to Yingtian Prefecture to secretly make one, but now he has saved himself the trouble.
Gu Shihan seldom goes out. Xing Bai went out several times to inquire and actually found out some things. The Liu family is a thousand-year-old family and has always been relatively low-key.
Until the past three hundred years, the Liu family had a close relationship with the Western Jin Dynasty royal family. It can also be said that the current people in power have the blood of the Liu family, but it is just a long time ago.
The most recent marriage was twenty years ago, when Liu Yuwan’s aunt Liu Xiangyi entered the Eastern Palace and became the Crown Princess.
Two years after Liu Xiangyi entered the Eastern Palace, she gave birth to her eldest son Nangong Xi. Five years later, Crown Prince Nangong Yunmo ascended the throne and became emperor, who is now the Emperor of Western Jin.
Ten years ago, the Western Jin Emperor Nangong Yunmo suddenly ordered the extermination of more than 300 members of the Liu family, including the Empress Liu Xiangyi and the eldest son Nangong Xi.
It is said that no one in the entire Liu family was left alive, of course this does not include Liu Yuwan who went missing a month before the incident.
The Liu family's ancestral home was also turned upside down, as if they were looking for something. Today, the abandoned house is still heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to approach.
"Xingbai, what do you think is in the Liu family's ancestral home? Do you feel there are any immortal cultivators?"
"I didn't feel it, but there is something strange about the Liu family's land. Let's go investigate it today. Hanhan, how about we leave right after we're done investigating?"
"Okay!" Gu Shihan left the old man's house and put twenty taels of silver and two hundred copper coins on the table. This was a few days' rent, enough for the old man to live on for several years.
As soon as dawn broke, Gu Shihan and the little fox entered the Liu family's ancestral home. As expected of a thousand-year-old family, the entire Liu mansion covered an area of no less than a hundred acres.
The pavilions, towers and houses are all exquisitely built. Although they are now deserted and dilapidated, one can still see their former prosperity at a glance.
"Hanhan, there's something strange about this lotus pond. I feel like it's empty underneath." Xingbai walked around the lotus pond again and again.
"Go down and take a look!" The man and the fox found a hidden place and went into the water. With the water-repellent beads, Gu Shihan was as free in the water as on land.
After a careful inspection, I found a tiny switch in an inconspicuous crack in the stone.
"Xingbai, there is indeed a problem. Is this a switch? Let's try it?"
"Hanhan, you try it. I will lock this piece up so that people outside won't feel anything unusual." The little fox quickly scratched a few times with its paws, and a thin cover covered the entire lotus pond.
Gu Shihan pressed the switch, and a small door that only one person could pass through appeared on the wall of the lotus pond.
