The neighbors around Yubi couldn't help but stick their heads out when they heard the noise.
Their village hasn't been this lively for a long time.
"Oh, it's a cabbage. I guessed it was a cabbage yesterday, but you didn't believe me."
"The jade cabbage is less than a hundred years old, and it's made with modern technology."
"This modern technology is a bit sloppy. Look, there's a leaf missing."
"Is this another example of learning from abroad? What is this beauty of imperfection?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't the village chief say that he was bitten? Even jade is bitten. The world outside is really getting more and more cruel."
The people around were talking about the cultural relics, which reminded Lu Nanxing of a hypothesis once made by a netizen.
Suppose the artifacts in a museum could speak.
One of the most liked comments was "That must be very noisy."
Looking at it now, it’s true.
But soon, Yu Bi didn't give them the 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 bodies, they heard Yu Bi's roar again coming from Yu Bi's house.
"What did you say?!"
In an instant, everyone climbed up the wall in unison, trying to hear more gossip.
Don't be fooled by Yu Bi's usual appearance of a cold beauty, she actually has a very bad temper.
However, she has a long history and is one of the first villagers to build the village, so no one dares to offend her easily.
I don’t know how that little cabbage offended her?
curious.
inside the house.
Yu Ling curled up into a ball again, but this time she knelt down directly.
However, 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 increasingly cold and angry.
"I helped you to transform into a spirit, but you went to help humans make fakes and absorb the spiritual energy of other ancient objects! You have simply brought shame upon our Jade Spirit!
I'm lucky enough not to smash you to pieces with one slap! You still expect me to help you repair your damaged body?! What a sweet dream!!
I think you should stay in this broken form for the rest of your life to learn this lesson!"
The village chief was also shaking his head and sighing, looking as if he was too lazy to persuade them.
Not to mention that humans don't like fakes, they hate cultural relics even more.
No cultural relic likes to be imitated. This cabbage is really stupid.
Jiang Xuxu and the others only found out later on the relationship between Yu Bi and Yu Ling, or more precisely, the relationship between Yu Ling and her former owner.
According to the village chief, the jade bi had once been sold abroad, and someone wanted to take it, so they found a domestic craftsman to imitate an identical jade bi in order to secretly get it back.
That craftsman was the ancestor of Yuling’s previous owner.
"The 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 the time and violated their principles and agreed to the request in order to return the treasure to the country. "
"Believe it?" Lu Nanxing couldn't help but be curious, "Isn't that person a good person?"
The village chief had a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"That person's words seemed genuine at first, but in reality, they were just trying to trick Mr. Ding into helping him."
He said,
"Mr. Ding knew that the man's so-called return of the jade disk to China was just to get the real thing and then secretly resell it at a high price. But since he had already boarded the pirate ship and couldn't get off, he could only continue to make a fake. However, he hid a trick and made two fake jade disks."
"His craftsmanship is really good, and with the aging, it is almost indistinguishable from the real thing. He took the opportunity to replace the real jade with the real one during the transaction and kept the real jade disk."
He carefully kept the jade disk, thinking that one day when the situation improved he would be able to return it to where it belonged. Unfortunately, he died before he could complete his task.
"Although Mr. Ding failed to arrange a proper destination for Yubi, he did help it return to its homeland. Yubi has always been grateful to Mr. Ding, and after she became a spirit, she has been looking for his descendants to repay her gratitude. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. When she found him, he had already committed suicide."
Mr. Ding, in his entire life, only violated his principles and made a fake jade bi once. Perhaps it was fate that made his only descendant also embark on the path of making fake jade and even committed suicide because of it.
It was also 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 become a spirit.
In the end, it was still wrong.
After Yu Bi sealed Yu Ling back into her 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 my responsibility. If there is anything I can do to make up for it, I will help."
Yu Bi thought that Jiang Xuxu and the others brought Yu Baicai to her house to seek an explanation.
Jiang Xuxu thought about it and said,
"She has already been punished for what she did. You don't have to bear the consequences for her. We came here not to investigate, but to ask for your help."
Jiang Xuxu briefly told the story of the other world and the Black Mist Organization's search for it.
“I have a very important person who is stranded in another world.
I want to know, is the ancient artifact they talked about that can open a passage to another world you?"
After listening to Jiang Xuxu's words, Yu Bi seemed to be in deep thought. After a long while, she slowly spoke.
“I’ve never heard of the other world you mentioned, and I don’t have any ability to open a passage to another world.
But the craftsman who made me once said that the jade disk, which is circular and hollow in the middle, has the meaning of repetition and reincarnation. I don’t know if this is related..."
Jiang Xuxu's mind moved, and he seemed to feel that he was on the right track, but then he heard Yu Bi continue,
