Tang Jian held her tightly, quietly enjoying the warmth and fragrance of her body, his gaze towards Lin Zao was exceptionally gentle and focused.
"Thank you!"
Hearing his thanks, Lin Zao buried her head in his chest, blinked, and did not respond.
After returning to the general's residence, Lin Zao took the black leather suitcase that she had used to fool Tang's mother from her private storage room.
Skillfully entered the combination lock to open the box.
The contents inside were the same as what had been shown to Tang's mother before. Except for the candy and other food, which were given to the two children, Lin Zao had not touched anything else.
Lin Zao took out a telescope and a crossbow and handed them to Tang Jian.
You should really need these two items!
Tang Jian reached out and took it, first looking at the crossbow, since it was obviously a weapon at a glance.
Lin Zao explained:
"This crossbow has a range of about 15 zhang!"
Sure enough, Tang Jian's eyes lit up when he heard this, as he looked at the crossbow in his hand. You should know that the maximum range of the bows and arrows they were using was only about 10 zhang!
If these bows and crossbows were used for military purposes, along with steel swords, they could be suitable for both close and long-range combat!
Lin Zao continued, "This is a telescope. As the name suggests, it's used to see very far away!"
With Lin Zao's help, Tang Jian looked at the sky through a telescope.
High in the sky, an eagle flew by, its sharp eyes so clear that they could be seen clearly even with a telescope!
Tang Jian then looked at the other items in the box. He wasn't particularly interested in the valuable porcelain and glass items, but he thought the solar-powered flashlight would be more suitable for nighttime patrols.
The more Tang Jian looked at it, the heavier his heart became!
These were all brought by Lin Zao!
At this moment, no matter how much he wanted to ignore it or pretend he didn't know, he couldn't!
Tang Jian looked at Lin Zao with deep eyes and asked, "Are you... are you really a celestial maiden?"
"What celestial maiden?"
Lin Zao was stunned by his sudden remark.
Tang Jian saw that Lin Zao looked like she had never heard of it before. Could it be that she wasn't?
He slowly told Lin Zao about the origin of this celestial maiden.
It is said that in the far beyond the heavens there is a race of celestial beings. They are few in number, but each of them possesses extraordinary skills. Any one of them who is born will be revered as a Celestial Master by the imperial court!
And such a Celestial Master appeared in the Great Zhou Dynasty 1000 years ago!
This Taoist master is said to be able to turn ice into ice with a wave of his hand!
It was thanks to this Celestial Master that the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to unify the chaotic world and successfully establish the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The Great Zhou Dynasty has been able to continue to this day thanks to the treasures left behind by that Celestial Master.
Meanwhile, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty also learned a little about the Celestial Race from the Celestial Master.
"It is said that every human in that day possessed divine abilities, but unfortunately they could not escape birth, aging, sickness and death. After the Celestial Master passed away, many imperial courts and martial arts forces went everywhere to search for the surviving members of the Celestial race."
Unfortunately, after searching for hundreds of years, no one found it, and the Celestial Race disappeared from the human world.
Gradually, no one went looking for it anymore, leaving only various false rumors.
The explanation that most closely resembles the situation of Linzao is:
"There are rumors that the Celestial Maidens of the Celestial Race are the closest to the gods, and can get anything they want with a wave of their hand."
The more Lin Zao listened, the more she felt that this Celestial Race was just like those people with superpowers in the apocalypse!
Is it possible for superpowers to awaken in this world?
Or was that person also a time traveler from the apocalypse?
However, this rumor does explain why she was able to produce those items!
It's not fair to mistake her for a ghost!
But this would likely cause her even more trouble; one wrong move could bring utter disaster upon her family!
What can she do to protect them?
The more Lin Zao thought about it, the more confused she became.
In that instant, a woman's voice seemed to appear deep within her mind:
"Zao'er, you must swear on your life! Keep this safe, otherwise if it is discovered, it will cause a bloodbath!"
What else?
Lin Zao shook her head vigorously, but couldn't remember anything.
What exactly is so dangerous?
It seems that the original owner of this body is in quite a bit of trouble!
Now, for the sake of her family and herself, she must find out the truth about her background!
