"What is this?"
Looking at the pile of papers in front of him that looked like a mountain, Lin Xie frowned.
"This is the contract." The man raised his hand and introduced:
"Everything we just said, as well as some precautions, are written in black and white. If you agree, just use your spiritual power and thoughts to sign in the corresponding places."
Lin Xie tried to release his thoughts to see what was written inside.
But what is strange is that when you look at it with your mind, these papers are gray and you can't see any specific content at all.
"Can't detect it with thoughts?" Lin Xie frowned.
"Yes, sir, the contents of the contract are quite important. If time permits, I suggest you read it carefully." the man replied.
Lin Xie almost laughed out of anger.
Compared to ordinary people, the biggest advantage that monks have in reading is that they can read with their minds, which makes their reading speed much faster.
Now I still have to use my eyes to see?
"Is there no other form?" Lin Xie asked.
"No, sir. This is the rule set by the founder of our Wanbao Pavilion. All contracts must be signed in black and white. Please understand." The man said sincerely.
Lin Xie didn't know what to say for a moment.
Although there are some quirks in this world, this is really......
This thin sheet of paper is so thick that it would fill up the room. If one were to finish reading it carefully, I'm afraid the Emperor's Tomb would be over.
But if I don't watch it, I always feel something is wrong.
So much effort and time went into drafting this contract, but is it really just a bunch of idle talk to set up rules without any other intentions?
After struggling for a while, Lin Xie took out a stack and started to look through it.
After half a cup of tea.
The stack of papers was thrown aside, and Lin Xie looked at the man:
"Where do I sign?"
Another two and a half cups of tea later.
The contract was signed successfully and disappeared into the house.
The man then took out a picture frame and said:
"It would be great if you had a portrait of the other person."
Looking at the empty house again, Lin Xie inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
He looked at the picture frame and was about to raise his hand when he heard the man remind him:
"Put your hands on the canvas, imagine the person's face, and the portrait will appear automatically."
Lin Xie nodded, placed his hand on it, and then recalled Lu Changzhi's appearance.
Soon, Lu Changzhi's appearance began to vaguely emerge.
Just when the portrait was about to be completely sketched, Lin Xie's brows slightly wrinkled.
I just suffered a loss at his hands not long ago, so why do I seem to have no deep impression of his appearance?
But his memory is still good after all.
The speed slowed down a bit.
A little bit of recollection, a little bit of adjustment.
Finally, the portrait was completely sketched out and remained on the canvas, vivid and lifelike.
"This is the prince of the Willow Clan in Lanqing Realm, right?" the man reminded.
He could see clearly from the side that the final portrait was somewhat different from the outline that appeared at the beginning.
Or, it seems like I was wrong at first.
But he still couldn't be sure which one was wrong, and he felt more surprised.
After all, since the other party is here to spread rumors about this person, it shouldn't be that difficult to recall what this person is like.
After hearing the prompt, Lin Xie's eyes fell on the canvas.
After reading it carefully, he nodded and said:
"Yes."
"Okay." The man nodded and put away the picture frame:
"That's all."
After asking a few questions, Lin Xi left Wanbao Pavilion.
"The painting I just made should be correct."
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xie affirmed himself.
I certainly didn't remember the other person's appearance at first, but with my own strength and realm, even if it was just a stunning glimpse, it would be difficult to make mistakes when I recall it.
"It's really a waste of energy for Wanbao Pavilion to go through so many twists and turns on this matter."
Shaking his head, Lin Xie stood up and left.
It’s a pity that Lu Changzhi didn’t know about the portrait.
Otherwise, they would be surprised at Lin Xie's poor memory and distorted recall ability.
........
Xuanyang Realm.
"According to the information, the place where the emperor's tomb will be found should be here."
A group of strong men from the Willow Clan were suspended in mid-air, looking at the huge city below.
"It's a pity that it's not a deserted place, but the location is not bad. It's also a good place to set it up." A strong man from the Willow clan looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
At this time.
Suddenly, a strong man from the Willow Clan uttered a surprised voice:
“Here…here, there’s actually a reaction?!”
"Um?"
Several people nearby turned to look with surprised expressions.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the strong man from the Willow clan who was speaking raise his hand and take out a stick of incense.
"This fragrance..." One person's expression changed:
"Isn't it useless?"
This was left behind by an ancestor of the Liu clan who had reached the imperial realm a long time ago, and has been kept in the Liu clan for many years.
When the Willow Clan is in danger, they can light this incense and the ancestor will come to their aid.
This item has been one of the most important items in the Willow Clan for a long time.
Until, later, I really encountered a crisis again.
That time, the Liu clan was almost forced to the point of extinction.
As a last resort, I lit this incense and sought help from the ancestor.
Then, the incense was lit, but there was no response, and the Liu clan was almost wiped out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
I clicked it again afterwards, but it still didn't work.
At that time, some people discovered that there were differences compared to the beginning.
The ancestor who left the incense behind was probably...
From then on, the Liu Clan no longer relied on their ancestors who had entered the imperial realm.
This incense has become more of a collectible than a practical item.
But now, in the eyes of everyone, this incense seems to have become different from when they saw it before.
"Could it be......?"
Several powerful men of the Willow Clan looked at each other, and all of them were shocked.
Back then, the problem was not with the ancestors, but with them?
It's not that the fragrance is bad, but...
"Wait a minute."
The strong man from the Willow clan who was holding the incense spoke, and then disappeared.
Almost a whole day had passed before he hurried back.
Under the close attention of countless people, he took a deep breath and said with all his strength:
"It's Arashi's problem!"
"It's no longer the same once you get to Arashi-seikai. It changes once you get here!"
The moment the words fell.
The expressions of all the powerful Willow Clan members present were shocked, excited or happy, and it was visible to the naked eye.
They knew exactly what this meant.
What is the difference between having an emperor but not being able to use his power and having no emperor at all?
This is the Liu clan's helplessness after all.
And now, this discovery really gave them a surprise.
"Why not try a little?" a strong man from the Willow Clan suggested.
But soon, there were different opinions:
"Now that nothing has happened, we can't act rashly and summon the ancestors for no reason. If we can really summon them, wouldn't we be unfilial descendants?"
"How do we know if this is really going to work?" a voice asked.
If it really exists, then do they, the Liu Clan, need to be cautious and worried so much in the future?
At this time, a voice said:
"When the Emperor's tomb is opened and the Mandate of Heaven is passed on, this incense will be lit."
"If the ancestor really shows up, I will just tell him the good news and let the people of Lanqing Realm know about it at the same time."
"If he doesn't show up, it won't be a pity as I have the destiny to inherit the Emperor's tomb."
