Chapter 707 Where They Go

The float rolled forward, and the movement of the wheels rolling over the bluestone slabs was particularly clear on this quiet village road.

It was clearly winter, but the roadside in the village was full of spring.

However, the two people in the car had no intention of watching at this time.

Jiang Xuxu had long discovered that when she got close enough, the golden light that should have only radiated around Chu Beihe would cover her as well.

It was like layers of halo, and she was included in his halo.

It was just that there had never been a moment in the past that was as close as now.

So close that she could clearly see every texture on his face,

"See, it's clear."

It was too clear.

However, as soon as she said this, a trace of regret flashed in Jiang Xuxu's eyes.

Her voice trembled!

Although it was not obvious, Chu Beihe could definitely hear it.

Sure enough, there was a barely perceptible smile in the black eyes of the person opposite.

Jiang Xuxu suddenly raised his eyes and glared at him.

The smile in Chu Beihe's eyes deepened.

He knew that he should step back now.

Although his fiancée was fearless, she did not like to be overly close to others.

But he did not want to step back.

It was like a silent declaration, and like a thin silk thread was pulling and straightening between the two of them.

Suddenly, a flower flew in from outside the car.

Then, another one.

Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe turned their heads at the same time, and saw Hua Sui reappearing from nowhere.

In his arms was a bunch of freshly picked flowers. His long legs followed the float with big strides, while he was diligently throwing flowers into the float.

He liked the way everyone was throwing flowers to celebrate. He

liked this kind of liveliness.

But Hua Sui was a little confused. While he was picking new flowers, where were the villagers who had just followed him to chase the float?

Where were the twelve triplets?

...

The lively village parade ended.

The moment they landed, Jiang Xuxu and Chu Beihe disappeared in their exquisite costumes.

It was as if the illusion had dissipated.

Even the pottery horse in front of the float returned to its original appearance.

Jiang Xuxu looked at the two pottery horses, one large and one small, carefully picked up by the villagers, and suddenly asked,

"Are these two the big Tang horse and the small Tang horse?"

Jiang Xuxu's sudden question made the villagers holding the two colored horses pause.

The village chief's expression froze, but he did not answer.

Jiang Xuxu did not intend to reveal it. If it was just a chance encounter, she did not want to dwell on it.

Everyone has their own secrets.

But since she has received their blessings, she has assumed a cause and effect.

She can no longer pretend that she knows nothing.

"All the spiritual artifacts in the village have only half a soul, why?"

she asked the village chief,

"Where did you leave the remaining half souls?"

Lu Nanxing originally wanted to discuss with the village chief to let her ride on the float, but after hearing what Jiang Xuxu said, she could not help but look at the village chief and them. When

a spiritual object turns into a spirit, the soul and body are equally important.

If it was a natural soul with defects, it would be fine, but a village full of half souls is indeed a cause for concern.

The village chief pursed his lips and said nothing. Yu Bi only said,

"These are all the villagers' business in the Cultural Relics Village. You don't have to worry about it."

Jiang Xuxu looked at Yu Bi for a long time, and suddenly said,

"After seeing your original body, I always felt that you looked familiar.

In addition to the cloud shoulder phoenix crown you transformed into on me today, the accessories on Chu Beihe, and this Tang pony...

If I'm not mistaken, you are all the cultural relics that were stolen abroad that year, right?"

Hearing Jiang Xuxu's words, Lu Nanxing and others couldn't help but look surprised.

The village chief and the villagers didn't look too surprised, but looked at them with gentle eyes.

"Yes."

The village chief said, "Most of the cultural relics in this village have returned to their homeland from the British Museum thousands of miles away."

Lu Nanxing's eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help but speak,

"But there has been no news of a large number of cultural relics missing on the Internet."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to think of something and looked at Yubi.

Could it be that... those cultural relics in foreign collections are all fakes? ? ?

No way?

As if knowing Lu Nanxing's doubts, Yubi directly denied her guess.

"The collection in the British Museum is all authentic."

She paused and said,

"But ours are also authentic."

Lu Nanxing was confused for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Both sides are authentic?

"This is why the villagers only have half a soul."

Jiang Xuxu's eyes flashed with regret, and he said, "You have separated your body and soul."

The villagers were silent, and the village chief just smiled helplessly.

"Only in this way can we return to our homeland."

Lu Nanxing's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Why?! You have all become spirits, and you can go back whenever you want? Why do you still leave your body in such a place?!"

Although Lu Nanxing did not study cultural relics, he also knew that tens of thousands of unique cultural relics in the country were taken away by those people through theft.

For so many years, he was squeezed into a museum, imprisoned, and treated arbitrarily.

Since you can become a spirit, why not bring your real body back?

The village chief looked at Lu Nanxing who suddenly became angry, and patted her head to comfort her.

"If we take our real bodies and escape directly, once they are discovered, China will be regarded as a thief like those people in the eyes of outsiders.

Even if they are not discovered, we can't reappear in the world openly again."

Lu Nanxing frowned.

I want to say that you are also living in seclusion in a corner now, but I feel that saying this will hurt the spirit, so I hold it back.

The village chief seemed to know her resentment and could only sigh helplessly,

"Besides, we can leave, but what about the cultural relics that are still in the British Museum?"

"The British Museum has tens of thousands of collections, and only a hundred of them can be successfully transformed into spirits. Once we are gone, it will be even more difficult to get the remaining collections back in the future."

The village chief said,

"We can't cause trouble for the country."

"How can this be a trouble?!"

Lu Nanxing's voice was suffocated.

You are the responsibility of the country.

"Even if this is the case, why do you have to split your soul?"

Lu Nanxing is not a spirit, so he doesn't know what the process of splitting the soul and the body is, but seeing that the villagers in the village are all in a state of silence, he knows that it must be very painful.

Not only painful, but also very hurtful.

Listening to Lu Nanxing's puzzled questioning and the silence of the villagers in front of him, Chu Beihe, who had been silent, said at this time,

"Because this is the only way to have the best of both worlds."

On the one hand, they know that they can't escape.

On the other hand, they are eager to return to their homeland.

Therefore, they would rather do it in the form of self-harm.

"We just want to come back so much."

The village chief said, "Even if we have to hide in this small village and can't see the world, as long as we can step on this land again, it's worth it."

Other villagers also spoke out at this time,

"That's right! As long as we can come back, it's worth it!"

"Yes! We are all voluntary! It's just half a soul, except for the weakness of spiritual energy, there's nothing else."

Jiang Xuxu looked at the lively villagers in front of him for a long time, and asked in a deep voice,

"Even if the soul life is less than a hundred years?"
