Feng Xiruo tore open the bag with some trepidation.

...It was very strange.

He was already familiar with this kind of thing, and he didn't feel nervous at all. In fact, it had already become a part of his life.

However, his feeling now was different from before.

Not only was he nervous, he even had a faint feeling that he was being spied on.

This kind of peeping did not come from a certain person, but more like from a pair of eyes that were completely invisible but exuded a cold feeling.

The gaze of that eye just now might not have been so strong, so Feng Xiruo had always regarded it as his own illusion.

But now, when he reached out his hand to the black bag, he suddenly felt that the eye began to give up everything around it and began to stare at him intently.

This strange feeling was creepy. After all, this eye was not a real eye. In Feng Xiruo's feeling, it was more like... a living dead thing.

It even gradually rose to the top of his head, as if looking down at all living things, watching his every move from above.

What's going on? Feng Xiruo was a little creepy.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not notice the existence of this eye, but Feng Xiruo was different.

He was a thief, and the most powerful thief in the dynasty.

Thieves have always been the most sensitive to everyone's gaze.

He had never experienced such a situation before, but this made him think of a legend for no reason.

It is said that Jing Xi was ordered to assassinate the King of Qin. He was one of the best assassins in the martial arts world. His swordsmanship was superb and he should have been foolproof.

But when he was about to succeed, he suddenly felt a cold eye staring at him.

The eye was untraceable and invisible, but after being stared at by the eye, Jing Xi suddenly felt cold all over and could not move.

So Jing Xi failed to assassinate the King of Qin. After that, the legend of the eye spread in the martial arts world.

It was not until later that people gradually realized what it was.

Because some people who had seen the eye later appeared, and each of them was one of the best figures in the martial arts world.

This eye often appears when something big is about to happen that shocks the martial arts world. It will do nothing but watch coldly.

It is because of this that people gradually wake up.

The name of that eye may be called "Heavenly Way".

People in the martial arts world will feel the Heavenly Way when they are about to ascend, and they will also feel the Heavenly Way when something big happens in the martial arts world.

After all, everything in this world is running under the Heavenly Way, and the Heavenly Way is silently watching everyone.

However, only those strong people who are in critical moments, or those who are about to undergo major changes in the world, can feel its existence.

Feng Xiruo's scalp was numb.

On the one hand, he comforted himself not to think too much, and that he was just thinking too much, but on the other hand, he could not control the expression on his face at all.

The feeling of that eye's gaze was not that strong, it was there sometimes and not there sometimes. This was perhaps the only thing that made Feng Xiruo feel fortunate.

However, no matter what, this seemed to indicate that what was going to happen next would far exceed Feng Xiruo's initial expectations, making everything slide in an unknown direction, leading him to witness the most bizarre and mysterious scene in the world...

After the relatively slippery but strangely sluggish bag was torn open, the light inside became brighter and brighter, as if it was an invisible ghost that was attracting him.

Feng Xiruo held his breath.

Finally, something that was emitting a faint light was carefully taken out of the bag by Feng Xiruo.

What is this?

Feng Xiruo brought it to his eyes and looked at it with frowned brows.

Perhaps because he was too nervous, he took off his mask in a hurry.

That thing was a very light piece of jade.

In fact, the texture of the jade itself was not top-grade jade. It was very light, far from the heavy feeling of good jade.

However, whether the jade material was good or bad was actually insignificant. After all, what really determined its value was the thing in the middle.

- There was a pool of water in the middle of the jade.

Feng Xiruo carefully placed it in front of her eyes.

Some jades will naturally form a state of water inside when they are formed, and this state often appears on crystals and agates. Such jades are often sold at sky-high prices, because at this time, it is no longer the jade itself that is valuable, but its unique properties.

However, the jade in front of her is neither like crystal nor agate.

The water inside it emits a faint glow in the air, just like fireflies in the sky.

The light of this thing is not very bright, at most it can only illuminate Feng Xiruo's fingers, but it is undeniable that Feng Xiruo has never heard of anything that can emit this kind of light.

In ancient times, things related to fluorescence were basically associated with another substance - fire.

There are no electric lights here. The only lighting tools are candles, and there is always a small flame burning on the candles.

Fire reminds people of warmth and brightness, which is something engraved in people's bones.

But the glowing thing in front of them can only make people feel quiet and cold.

Feng Xiruo thought about it and came up with a "fire" that was strangely similar to the thing in front of her.

...It was the ghost fire on the tomb.

There was a small thing tied to the jade. It was wrapped in cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside. However, there would be a rustling sound when it was shaken.

Just like...something that was suppressed would often be tied with something as a sacrifice.

Feng Xiruo's breathing was almost stagnant. He felt that his hand holding the jade stone was shaking slightly. He wanted to throw it away like a hot potato.

However, he suddenly didn't dare to move, for fear that he would throw it on the ground and break it.

Although I don't know what it is, it doesn't look like a good thing no matter how I look at it.

Jade is warm and moist in nature, and is usually used to hold some highly toxic things. Some poisons are put in jade bottles. Those terrible poisons are well-behaved in the jade bottles like the most ordinary liquids.

Feng Xiruo had a bold guess in his mind, could it be that the jade in front of him really contains the ghost fire on the tomb?

He was afraid that... he would accidentally see some incredible secret?

Although Feng Xiruo is the owner of the Life and Death Villa, it is rumored that he has never been afraid of life and death. Some people even say that the owner of the Life and Death Villa usually lives with corpses.

However, Feng Xiruo had to say that he was only afraid at the moment.

He was really scared to the point of shaking.

The eye above his head seemed to stare at him even more fiercely, and Feng Xiruo's back was already wet.

He thought that he could find some martial arts treasures in this inn today. According to the idea in his mind, the plot tonight should be that he successfully stole the treasures, and then showed his expertise to the whole martial arts world, and then became famous again.

But everything that happened now was completely different from what he imagined.

This thing... Feng Xiruo thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and decided to take it out.

He carefully hid it in his clothes, and then rushed out of the inn without looking back, as if he was escaping from a terrible monster's lair.

This inn is definitely not ordinary.

There was such a dangerous thing in here. If Feng Xiruo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

And there was one thing Feng Xiruo did notice. He found that this thing seemed to have been casually thrown away in a place similar to a swill bucket.

If even such a thing could be thrown away casually, then how many secrets were hidden in this inn?

At that moment, Feng Xiruo suddenly felt as if he was carrying a lot of things. He felt that the burden on his shoulders had increased a lot.

This is a priceless treasure. It is the key to the secret of why the shopkeeper is so terrible. It is the "treasure" he has found with great difficulty.

He must take it out.

Feng Xiruo has already guessed how terrible the impact will be after this thing is discovered by others.

The eye behind him stared at him more closely.

So that's it.

Is this why the heavens are watching him?

What he is about to do is something that can change the entire martial arts world.

And he is... the only one who can save the martial arts world now.

...

Just above where Feng Xiruo felt that something was secretly watching him, a camera was slightly lit.

Behind the camera, Feng Qing stared at the surveillance screen with dead fish eyes.

Uh...

what is this man doing?

After living for more than 20 years, Feng Qing finally encountered the most supernatural event in his life, the kind that could be featured in three episodes of Approaching Science.

A man who looked tall and had a good figure, although his face could not be seen clearly, but estimated to be over 1.8 meters tall with thin legs and a long waist, was concentrating on...

rummaging through the trash can in her house.

He looked through the trash very seriously, with a serious expression.

He looked through this plastic bag, then that paper box.

Feng Qing looked at the small blue trash can she bought two years ago, which had once contained her Coke bottles, potato chip bags, and the trash can with "beep", "duh" and "ding", and was now placed on her desk.

It's over, she can't use this table tomorrow.

The trash can was completely overturned, and the things inside finally rolled onto the table. The trash bag was roughly torn open, and the potato chip crumbs inside were scattered all over the table.

Ah, these galloping potato chips are just like Feng Qing's galloping heart.

At this point, Feng Qing no longer cared how this person got in.

She guessed that it was because she had been wearing headphones and the other three people were in the backyard. The lock must have been violently broken by the man in front of her. She didn't know where he got so much strength.

However, just as Feng Qing was observing the broken door lock, she suddenly saw the man in front of her was stunned.

He looked at the thing in his hand, his eyes wide open.

That expression... To put it bluntly, Feng Qing hasn't shown it for twenty years. It was the most innocent joy, like a child who found his most precious thing.

After becoming an adult, Feng Qing almost never had such an innocent smile on her face again, and this smile reminded her of her past, when she was still that innocent and lovely child.

Feng Qing had already sat up straight, zoomed in on the screen, and finally saw clearly what the guy had in his hand.

It was a lollipop.

... or a lollipop given by a merchant.

At that moment...

Feng Qing's tears immediately fell.
