"What did you say?" Ruan Xianxian pretended to listen to the white fox for a while, then asked in surprise, "What?"
"You want to give me all the treasures in the tomb so I can help the princess choose an auspicious burial site?"
Fox: Where's your face?
He licked his paws, pretending not to see her talking to herself.
This guy gestured at the air for a while, then turned around and smiled at Old Li.
“Brother Li, the White Fox said that she trusts me and Weiwei more than you, so we won’t trouble you with the princess’s funeral arrangements.”
Just kidding, what I just said was that the stone essence would go to Institute 507, and the burial goods would go to her.
Now that the yin energy inside the stone has been drawn away, he doesn't think Old Li would refuse to take a penny from the burial goods. When he was dealing with that stone, did she not see his face change?
Ruan Xianxian doesn't understand metaphysics very well, but she knows that a stone that can absorb yin energy is still a treasure even if the yin energy inside is completely drained.
He made a small, tentative remark about ruining it, and Old Li's expression changed immediately.
The spiritual spring water improves the root cause. Weiwei had secretly told her that drinking the sweet water would allow her to absorb the essence of the moon even faster.
Compared to stones that take many years to absorb some lunar essence, the gold and silver treasures buried with her were obviously more useful to her.
She couldn't compete with Institute 507 even if she wanted to.
Weiwei said there's an even bigger one under Songjiang!
The system popped up: "Xianxian, I want gold and silver! Once I reach a certain level, I can have as many of those stones as I want."
Old Li squinted and took a puff of his pipe. "Girl, you're taking everything with you, but you don't want to share a single drop of soup with the station?"
Ruan Xianxian turned around and smiled without any guilt, "You also want to send me away so you can monopolize the stone that can absorb yin energy. We're both equally guilty."
How about we change it?
Old Li scratched his butt guiltily, not expecting that his little scheme would be seen through at a glance.
Compared to the seasoned veterans within the system, those outside the system are still more innocent and pure in heart.
The two went back and forth, and in the end, the stone and some of the burial objects with research value were returned to the institute, with Ruan Xianxian taking the lion's share.
She also knew she couldn't eat everything herself.
The key is that if someone tries to frame her in the future, these will be incriminating evidence. After the spoils are divided with the 507 Institute, the meaning will be different. These are legitimate proceeds, and it's good to have a powerful backer.
Finally, the white fox, unable to bear it any longer, asked, "Did you ask me before you made this decision?"
Ruan Xianxian grabbed the fox's tail and pulled him aside for a private talk, "What? You still want those scumbags' leftovers to annoy the princess?"
arctic fox:……
"Is that right? You left behind too many burial goods. Do you want people a thousand years from now to dig up the princess's grave again?"
arctic fox:……
Ruan Xianxian stroked the fox fur hard, her gaze softening. "I know you want the princess's personal belongings."
We'll keep some as a memento, and the rest we'll use to have the great shaman of this era perform a ritual to help the princess pass on to the afterlife, shall we?"
Ruan Xianxian had no intention of taking the princess's personal belongings, but as she said, should the treasures be left behind so that future generations could dig up the grave again?
It would be better to have the 507 powerful monks perform a genuine ritual to help the princess find peace.
She was merely making a suggestion; the decision was left to the white fox.
The white fox pondered for a long time, perhaps wanting to send the princess's soul to her final rest, or perhaps genuinely fearing that future generations might dig up her grave again a thousand years later, before agreeing.
Ruan Xianxian led the white fox to explain the matter to Lao Li, who agreed without hesitation, "Okay, I'll do the French style myself."
Money makes the world go round; the ancients were right.
If Fan Caicai wasn't exaggerating, then Lao Li is indeed qualified to be the leader of the Taoist mountain lineage.
With the matter settled, everyone rested on the spot. Old Li led his soldiers deep into the tomb, breaking through the mechanisms time and time again, and chests of treasures were transported out.
Faced with boxes and boxes of Yan Kingdom antiques, Ruan Xianxian first gave one share to Weiwei and Huang Er, who came to help, and then divided the rest between herself and Institute 507.
Old Li took a look and had no objections.
The white fox paid Old Li a portion of the princess's personal belongings as payment, keeping the majority for herself.
He took out a white jade pendant and an imperial green thumb ring, hesitated for a while, and then pushed the thumb ring to Ruan Xianxian.
"These two items were the princess's favorite pieces of jewelry during her lifetime. The jade pendant was a symbol of her status and was bestowed upon her by the emperor himself on the day she was granted her title."
I don't know the origin of the thumb ring, but the princess likes it very much.
After thinking for a moment, he gave Mu Xia a nine-eyed dzi bead, saying, "Thank you too."
The remaining small wooden box was tightly coiled in the white fox's arms.
Ruan Xianxian casually slipped the thumb ring onto her thumb. It was a women's ring with no pattern on it, but the jade was delicate and warm to the touch.
It completes a set with the imperial green necklace she found in the basement of Lao Lintou.
Let me put it on and admire myself for a while!
Seeing how pitiful the white fox looked, she asked softly, "What are your plans for the future?"
The white fox looked bewildered, "Let's continue to stay with the princess."
Does it mean to go to the princess's new tomb to rest in peace?
Ruan Xianxian sighed, "I'm afraid that won't work. My liaison officer said that the auspicious site is under the jurisdiction of the 507 Institute, which is the government office."
"A spirit like you is probably not fit to accompany me inside."
The white fox sat up, silent, its extremely beautiful gray-blue fox eyes gazing quietly at her.
There was no hope for life in their eyes.
"If I die, can I still live inside?"
Ruan Xianxian swallowed the bitter taste in her throat and asked with feigned surprise, "Why do you want to die? The princess is about to be reincarnated. Don't you want to see her reincarnation one more time?"
"Reincarnation? Is that even possible?"
Ruan Xianxian couldn't give a precise answer to this question, but judging from her and Xiaxia's situation...
He stroked the little fox's head and said, "Yes, there will definitely be one."
"Before that, you can get to know this world properly, and get to know a horse-drawn carriage that can travel at speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour."
They were familiar with the traditional operas performed on television, and with the new world where both men and women had access to education and freedom of marriage.
"Really? The princess loves reading the most and has always regretted that she cannot study and engage in worldly affairs like a man."
The death rage in the white fox's eyes faded somewhat, and its fox eyes shone with an unusual light.
“Really.” Ruan Xianxian nodded emphatically, pointing to herself, “In your time, my education would have made me a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the county-level imperial examination). A few years later, I would have passed the Juren (another scholar who passed the provincial-level imperial examination) and had the opportunity to study in the capital.”
If you haven't decided where to go yet, you can come with me for now, and I'll show you around this new world.
With hope of being reincarnated as a princess, the white fox was reluctant to die. She jumped into Ruan Xianxian's arms, found a comfortable position to lie down, and closed her eyes.
She and her master had completely different personalities, yet she gave him a home when he was most helpless.
Holding the white fox tightly, Ruan Xianxian's warm smile gradually faded, and her gaze towards the village at the foot of the mountain turned cold.
"Feng Bai!"
Upon hearing the commotion, Feng Bai, who was counting the spoils, came over. Ruan Xianxian revealed a cruel expression and gave the order.
"How many living people were sacrificed in the village? Investigate!"
"How did the Japanese get the news and arrive before us? Investigate!"
"Where is their hideout? Investigate!"
The moment the word "check" was uttered, the entire Baishi Village sprang into action...
