Chapter 6: The Golden Eyes of Time are cheating.
Tianxing never mentioned his past.
Jia Wenyan thought that since she could communicate with the spirit of the artifact, she should be able to learn a lot of cultural relics and history that others didn't know. But Tianxing seemed to be very taboo about his past.
No matter how Jia Wenyan asked in a roundabout way, he never mentioned his own affairs. Instead, he told Jia Wenyan a lot of information about other cultural relics.
For example, a certain emperor once used a large cauldron used for sacrificial offerings to bake steamed buns. Another example is that a certain imperial concubine secretly went to the pond in the imperial garden every night to dig algae mud for beauty.
Not much was said about serious matters, but instead all the gossips about the former dynasty and the harem were exposed.
This made Jia Wenyan wonder whether gossip was the most mainstream form of entertainment for people in ancient times when there was a lack of entertainment.
But no matter what, Tianxing did not play tricks on her about serious matters.
For example, when Jia Wenyan wanted to dig out the cultural relics that Tianxing said were buried in the yard, Tianxing not only stopped her immediately, but also told her directly that if she was not absolutely sure, it would be best not to let the cultural relics be unearthed easily.
Because at this moment, most of these cultural relics with spirits are in a dormant state to slow down their own deterioration rate, and once they are unearthed, they will wake up and decay as quickly as he did at that time.
Therefore, if Jia Wenyan really wants to help the spirits of the cultural relics buried under the courtyard, it would be best for her to improve her restoration skills as quickly as possible.
For this reason, early the next morning, Jia Wenyan used the pass given to him by Dean Zhen and entered the museum with the old man who opened the door.
However, just as she was looking at the guide map at the door and preparing to go to the exhibition area where the green-glazed handle-poured pot (Three Kings Pot) was located.
The environment around her suddenly began to distort. She knew that this must be the work of the Three Kings Pot.
Different from Tianxing's bamboo sea, the spirit space where the Three Kings Pot Poetry Phoenix Pill is located is an extremely luxurious palace.
Birds, beasts and flowers, representing the clan patterns of three different ethnic groups, are spread across every stone pillar of the palace.
"Qingning Palace?"
Jia Wenyan raised her head and carefully identified the words above. However, before she could carefully examine everything around her, she suddenly discovered that a young woman holding the Three Kings Pot suddenly appeared in the pavilion of the palace garden.
[Oh... is it the little girl who took the dragon pattern jade that day? It seems that you succeeded? ]
[It's been less than a month, and it seems you are much more capable than I thought. ]
"Yes, may I ask if you are... Shi Fengdan... Senior?"
[Yes, I am Shi Fengdan. It seems that you have learned a lot about our weapon spirits from him.]
[Tell me, why did you come to see me today? ]
The woman in gorgeous clothes raised her eyes slightly, and her sharp gaze made Jia Wenyan want to step back unconsciously.
Didn't Tian Xing say that Shi Fengdan is a very gentle "little friend" who would take the initiative to take care of the weaker spirits around him?
This guy is not right? So what is the situation now, Sister Mei becomes Concubine Hua?
Jia Wenyan secretly cursed Tianxing's unreliable behavior in her heart. But when faced with an important matter, Jia Wenyan still mustered up the courage to speak:
"Senior Shi Fengdan, I am sorry for disturbing you today. My name is Jia Wenyan, and I am the prospective apprentice of Mr. Zhen Yuandao, the current director of Xian'an Museum. I came here today in the hope of inheriting the porcelain craftsmanship from you."
"I want to learn more skills through the opportunity to communicate with artifact spirits so that more artifacts that have been lost in the tide of history can be revived."
[So you have made up your mind?] Shi Fengdan asked with interest the girl who was obviously holding on.
To be honest, if Tianxing's situation had not been so grim at the time, Shi Fengdan would never have allowed a spirit to leave with a young child like Jia Wenyan.
Even though Jia Wenyan would have been married at her age in her time, she had some understanding of modern life during her years at the Xian'an Museum.
In her eyes at that time, even if Jia Wenyan possessed spiritual roots, it would be difficult for her to rebuild Tianxing's body before it completely dissipated.
She had agreed at that time only because she hoped that Tianxing could have a chance to survive before he completely dissipated. All the spirits knew that the difficulty and risk of reshaping the "body" was much greater than repairing it.
But now it has been proven that Jia Wenyan is indeed better than they imagined. Shi Fengdan is naturally happy for Tianxing's new life, but can this girl really shoulder this heavy responsibility?
"Forget it! Even if I don't agree, those kids will be unable to hold back and run to you on their own initiative."
"Come with me."
Shi Fengdan seemed to have made a decision. She took Jia Wenyan through the palace and entered the main hall in the center.
But looking from the outside, Jia Wenyan originally thought that the interior of this palace called Qingning Palace should be an extremely luxurious palace. However, the moment she stepped inside, what she saw was not the prosperity she had expected, but beams of green light.
In the beam of light, shadows of broken porcelain floated one after another, some of which even began to tremble in a distorted manner similar to a snow screen.
Jia Wenyan: "This is..."
"A spirit that can no longer maintain its true form."
Shi Fengdan's eyes were filled with sorrow. She looked at her peers around her and sighed helplessly:
"Xian'an City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. On this land, countless weapon spirits were born in accordance with the will of heaven. But just as a dynasty will fall one day, the souls of weapon spirits will also decay with the fall of the dynasty."
"Especially when their bodies are damaged, they can only disappear completely in the long river of history as their souls fly away, just like patients who are barely surviving in the world."
"So you used the power of the Three Kings Pot to protect the spirits that were about to dissipate in the pot."
"Yes, the watertight design of the Three Kings Pot gave me the ability to create a barrier and protect. I used this ability to protect the spirit of the artifact in the museum that was about to dissipate."
"So far, I have collected a total of 2,999 spirits in my world in the pot."
"That means, as long as we help these two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine weapon spirits reshape their bodies, we can make them regain vitality."
"It's not that simple." Shi Fengdan said, pointing to the porcelain-handled folding fan on the nearest beam of light.
"Don't think that just because you helped Dragon Scale Jade reshape his body, you can help all the weapon spirits reshape themselves."
"The key point of reshaping the spirit of an artifact, in addition to the mastery of the craftsmanship, is to reproduce the artifact's body 100%, because only two identical bodies can accommodate a soul that is about to disintegrate."
"Although I don't know how you and that old guy got lucky to find a piece of jade that matches it perfectly, this is just one of the points."
"Why do I admit that the dragon scale jade has the possibility of being reshaped? That's because it still has complete consciousness at that time. It can generate a complete original template in your mind through spiritual consciousness. But most weapon spirits do not have such conditions."
"Their memories have long been blurred by the baptism of the long river of time. They have been damaged for many years and have long forgotten their past. Like many weaker weapon spirits, they not only do not have their own weapon spirit space, but they can't even have a face-to-face conversation with you like I do."
"Do you still feel that you have the ability to carry out this path?"
Shi Fengdan's tone was full of sadness and loneliness. As a spirit of an artifact, she certainly hoped that this girl would really be able to help her people reshape their "bodies".
But the cruelty of reality is far beyond their imagination. Perhaps for human archaeologists, all they need is an artifact that can be restored to a certain degree and authenticate that period of history.
But for these cultural relics, what they want is a body that can carry and continue their own lives.
but……
"I don't think it's a problem."
Shi Fengdan: "What did you say?"
Jia Wenyan walked forward while speaking, her pupils dilated unconsciously, and scattered golden dots of light flowed between her pupils.
In her sight, the residual souls in the light column were gradually deconstructed like images illuminated by X-rays.
She didn't know what the principle was, but it seemed that since she entered this space, she could begin to analyze the spirit objects she saw.
"I don't know why, but it seems that since I reshaped the body of Tianxing (Dragon Scale Jade Pendant), I have the ability to see through the true body of the weapon spirit."
"Although I have no way of seeing through your true form at the moment, I can indeed vaguely see the true forms of many weapon spirits."
"I think this may be the feedback I get from reshaping the artifact spirits. Although it is still vague at the moment, I think as long as I keep working in this direction, as the number of artifacts I reshape continues to increase, one day I will gain the ability to bring these artifact spirits back to life."
"So how much can you parse now?"
Shi Fengdan's eyes lit up again and her tone was no longer cold.
She rushed forward and looked Jia Wenyan in the eye, trying to capture more information from her golden pupils that had not yet faded.
"About 2%. The more complete the artifact is, the clearer I can see its spirit."
"For example, the folding fan with only the porcelain handle left, although I can see the fan surface that no longer exists, I can't tell what is written or drawn on it."
"So, as long as I can help you find a more complete spirit weapon, I can upgrade your eyes little by little?"
"Yes, but as you said, most of the weapon spirits that can meet my ability requirements should be at the level where they only need simple repairs to keep their lives safe."
"Don't worry about this. As long as you can do it, I will help you with the rest of the work."
"One day, if you can really bring back the people in my hall, I, Shi Fengdan, am willing to serve you as your guardian spirit for generations."
