Chapter 704 Origin

The neighbors around the jade disk couldn't help but stick their heads out when they heard the noise.

Their village hasn't been so lively for a long time.

"Hey, it's a cabbage. I guessed it was a cabbage yesterday, but you didn't believe it."

"The jade cabbage is less than a hundred years old. It's a modern craft."

"This modern craft is a bit sloppy. Look, there's a leaf missing."

"Is this learned from abroad again? What's the beauty of imperfection?"

"Are you stupid? Didn't the village chief say it was gnawed? Even jade is gnawed. The outside world is really getting more and more cruel."

The surrounding cultural relics were talking about it, which reminded Lu Nanxing of a hypothesis made by a netizen.

Suppose the cultural relics in the museum can speak.

One of the highly praised comments was "It must be very noisy."

Now it seems so.

But soon, Yubi did not give them a chance to continue watching.

Jiang Xuxu and his group were invited into the house.

Everyone felt a little regretful for a moment, and just as they were about to go back to continue maintaining their own bodies, they heard Yubi's roar again from Yubi's house,

"What did you say?!"

In an instant, everyone tacitly climbed over the wall in unison, trying to hear more gossip.

Don't look at Yubi's usual appearance of a cold beauty, she actually has a very bad temper.

However, she is old and experienced, and she was one of the first villagers to build the village, so no one dared to provoke her easily.

I don't know how that little cabbage provokes her?

Curious.

Inside the house.

Yuling curled up again, but this time she knelt down directly.

But no one present tried to plead for her.

Yu Bi stood in front of Yu Ling with his hands on his hips, his eyes becoming more and more angry.

"I helped you to become a spirit, but you helped humans to make counterfeits to absorb the spiritual energy of other ancient artifacts! You are simply destroying the purity of our Yu Ling!

I will not slap you to pieces! You still expect me to help you repair your damaged body?! What a beautiful dream!!

I think you should keep your current broken body for the rest of your life and remember the lesson!"

The village chief also shook his head and sighed, looking lazy and unwilling to persuade.

Not to mention that humans don't like counterfeits, their cultural relics hate them even more.

No cultural relic likes to be counterfeited. This cabbage is really stupid.

Jiang Xuxu and the others only learned later that the origin of the jade bi and the jade spirit, or more precisely, the jade spirit's former owner.

According to the village chief, the jade bi had been lost abroad, and someone wanted to take it, so they found a domestic craftsman to imitate a piece of the same jade bi, hoping to secretly exchange it back.

The craftsman was the ancestor of the former owner of the jade spirit.

"That family's surname is Ding, and their ancestors were jade carvers. At that time, many cultural relics in China were lost abroad.

Although the Ding family disdained to do such things as counterfeiting, they believed the other party at that time. In order to get the treasure back to the country, they still violated their principles and agreed to the matter."

"Believed?" Lu Nanxing couldn't help but be curious, "Isn't that man a good person?"

The village chief had a hint of sarcasm on his face,

"That person spoke sincerely at the beginning, but in fact he just wanted to trick Mr. Ding into helping him."

He said,

"Mr. Ding knew that the so-called help the jade disk returned to the country was just to get the real thing and secretly resell it at a high price, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and couldn't get off, so he could only continue to complete the counterfeit, but he hid a trick and made two fake jade disks."

"His craftsmanship was indeed good, and with the aging, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. He took the opportunity to steal the real jade bi during the transaction and kept the real one."

He carefully kept the jade bi, thinking that he could return it to where it belonged when the weather was better, but unfortunately he died before he could finish his work.

"Although Mr. Ding failed to arrange the destination of the jade bi, he did help it return to its homeland. The jade bi has always been grateful to Mr. Ding. After turning into a spirit, it has been looking for his descendants to repay his kindness. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. When she found him, he had already committed suicide."

Mr. Ding only made a counterfeit of the jade bi once in his life. Perhaps it was fate that his only descendant also embarked on the path of making jade counterfeits and even committed suicide because of it.

It was because she wanted to repay this karma that Yu Bi wanted to keep the only remaining work of the descendant of the Ding family to help her transform into a spirit.

In the end, she was still wrong.

After Yu Bi sealed Yu Ling back to her original body and let her reflect on herself for a hundred years, she said to Jiang Xuxu,

"Yu Baicai became a spirit because of me. I am partially responsible for the wrong things she did and the troubles she caused you. I will not shirk it. If there is anything I can do to make up for it, I can help."

Yu Bi thought that Jiang Xuxu and the others brought Yu Baicai to her house to seek justice.

Jiang Xuxu thought for a moment and said,

"She has been punished for what she did. You don't have to bear the consequences for her. We didn't come to you to investigate, but to ask for your help."

Jiang Xuxu briefly told her about the other world and the Black Mist Organization's search for it.

"I have a very important person who is stranded in the other world.

I want to know if the ancient artifact they mentioned that can open the passage to the other world is you?"

After listening to Jiang Xuxu's words, Yu Bi seemed to be thinking deeply. After a long while, she slowly spoke,

"I haven't heard of the other world you mentioned, nor do I have the ability to open a passage to another world.

But the craftsman who made me once said that the jade disk, which is hollow and circular, has the meaning of reincarnation. I don't know if there is any connection..."

Jiang Xuxu's mind moved, as if she felt that her direction was correct, but she heard the jade disk continue,

"But even if I want to help you, I may not be able to do it."

She said, her tone seemed helpless,

"I only have half a soul left, and my spiritual power is weak. I need to bury myself in the soil every once in a while to preserve my own spiritual energy. Now there is not much I can do."

"Half a soul..."

Jiang Xuxu was a little surprised. After careful sensing, she found that the other party's soul was indeed not strong.

Not only her, but even the souls of the village chief and other cultural relics in the village were not obvious.

This was also the reason why she did not realize at the first time last night that they were all transformed spirits.

Jiang Xuxu wanted to ask more, but Yu Bi and the village chief were obviously unwilling to say more, so she had to give up.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xuxu asked if she could stay in the village temporarily.

"If possible, I would also like to see your body pattern."

Yu Bi is her only clue now, she doesn't want to give up, maybe, she can study it.

Yu Bi heard that she actually wanted to study her body, and her eyes narrowed slightly,

"What you said is quite offensive. After all, my jade body is not something that can be studied by anyone."

Jiang Xuxu:...

Why does this sound weird?

She didn't want to see her naked body, so why was she offended?

Well, the essence of spiritual beings is really not something to be offended casually.

Jiang Xuxu decided to do the next best thing and ask about the relevant information retained by the jade bi. Is this okay?

But before she could say anything, Yubi herself relaxed and said,

"That's all, for the sake of your fondness for me, I will allow you this time."

Jiang Xuxu: ...

Okay, it's even weirder.

After sending Jiang Xuxu and his party away first, the village chief looked at Yubi with some curiosity,

"Don't you hate people touching your body the most? Why did she just say yes?"

Even if you compensate for the junior, there is no need to sell yourself.

Yu Bi rolled her eyes at him, then narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a bit of longing,

"Don't you think that the aura on her body is somewhat similar to that person?"

The person who built the cultural relics village for them so that these spiritual creatures could have a place to rely on.

The village chief was reminded by her and thought about it for a while,

"Well... now that you mention it, it is somewhat similar."
