Chapter 588 Embroidery
Ripples on the water mirror revealed new words:
[Little ancestor, can we stop dreaming? ]
[If you dared to violate the prohibition, would you still be able to use the Lingxi Mirror? ]
[Hey, can you guys stop arguing and let him finish what he's saying? A'Du, ignore them and start talking.]
Bai Fengdu raised his hand with a wicked smile and wrote:
[I have something else to say, I’ll talk to you next time~]
After writing this line, she turned around and left the secret room, busy arranging the things Yun Qingqing had asked her to do.
In the secret room, the Lingxi Mirror was silent for a moment, and then began to write frantically:
【？ 】
[Just left? Really left?]
[I have such a bad temper! Where's the Thunder Pearl? Can I kill her with it?!]
[Don't waste your energy. This girl is in the underworld, and the thunder can't strike her.]
[Wow, wow, Sister Adu has learned bad things...]
[Oh my god! I'm talking halfway and eating noodles without garlic!]
[Hey, where did you learn this curse? I don’t understand it, but it sounds very vicious…]
…
…
Yun Qingqing left the underworld and returned to her room, and immediately noticed someone at the gate.
She frowned slightly, raised her hand to remove the barrier of the room, and raised her hand again, and the door opened by itself.
A moment later, a breeze blew past the door, and a black-haired and long-bearded Taoist priest appeared. He smiled and bowed to her:
"Master, you are very clever. The invisibility talisman I left behind is extremely difficult to detect. I didn't expect that I still couldn't hide it from you."
Yun Qingqing glanced at him calmly:
"Master, you came to our gate in the middle of the night just to show off your invisibility talisman, didn't you?"
Feng Yin touched his nose awkwardly and coughed lightly:
"How could that be? I have something important to discuss with you. It's just that this time is really inconvenient, and your palace is full of secret guards, so I had no choice but to use the invisibility talisman. It's also because your courtyard is quiet that I dare to show myself here."
Yun Qingqing nodded.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Feng Yin looked solemn and said with a folded hand:
"I just received a message from my master that there is something unusual happening in the back of Changliu Mountain, and they want me to return to the sect immediately."
Yun Qingqing understood what he meant:
"Are you saying that this unusual movement is very likely the event related to Xiao Changheng that your Mingling Mirror predicted?"
"That's right." Feng Yin nodded. "If it's convenient for Pavilion Master and the Prince, why don't you come with me so that I can take care of you."
Yun Qingqing glanced towards the main courtyard and said after a moment's hesitation:
"Then let's set off at dawn. I'm here and won't delay your journey."
Feng Yin wanted to leave immediately, but after hearing what she said, he hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"Well, we'll set off at daybreak."
Feng Yin stroked his long beard, put the invisibility talisman on his body again, hid his figure and left.
Yun Qingqing waved and closed the door, then thought for a while with his chin propped up at the table, then stood up, took out a magic talisman and activated it, and in a moment he arrived at the mountain temple on Zhiluo Mountain.
It was just past midnight on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month, the moon was bright and full, and the courtyard of the mountain temple was bustling with activity. Dozens of mountain spirits and wild monsters were having a banquet and party, drinking and having fun facing the moon.
As soon as Yun Qingqing showed up, Zhiluo noticed her and teleported in front of her like a flash of smoke:
"Qingqing! Why are you here? Are you done with the palace business?"
The sound of the Jingyang Bell was loud enough to reach as far as Zhiluo Mountain, so when the Queen's death knell rang, Yun Qingqing immediately used the contract to tell Zhiluo the reason for the ringing, so that she could stay in the mountains with peace of mind and not have to come out to respond.
"Well, it's over." Yun Qingqing nodded and explained her purpose. "I'm going to the southwest next. I'll leave the capital to you. Please take good care of it for me."
Zhiluo naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation:
"Of course, but... you came all the way here just to inform me of this? Wouldn't it be enough to just send a message?"
Yun Qingqing pursed her lips, took out a bottle of Hundred Flower Dew from the space and handed it to her:
"This is a gift I bought at the Lantern Festival Market today, and I just happened to drop it off."
Zhiluo took the Hundred Flower Dew and continued to look at Yun Qingqing with a half-smile:
"That's a plausible reason, but it's not the real reason why you came all the way here."
Yun Qingqing sighed:
"I haven't finished yet... Today is the Lantern Festival. I saw many people giving gifts at the lantern festival. I want to give him one too, but I can't think of what to give him. Do you have any ideas?"
Zhiluo paused for a moment and said softly:
"Oh... I need to give him a gift..."
If it were anyone else, Zhiluo would have definitely made a joke, saying that "many people gave gifts" at the Lantern Festival. It was obvious that she had this idea because she saw many young couples giving each other gifts.
But this matter is particularly helpless for Yun Qingqing.
Knowing that the other person has broken up with you, you still want to give him a gift, but it is just to fulfill your own wish.
Zhiluo was silent for a moment and asked:
"There are so many trinkets for sale at the market, but you haven't found anything suitable?"
Yun Qingqing shook her head:
"I wanted to do some careful shopping, but something happened along the way and I wasn't able to visit many of the stalls. By the time I was done, the market had already dispersed. So I came to ask if you have any gifts that don't require shopping outside and that have a touch of homely charm."
Zhiluo frowned and thought for a while, her eyes swept over the wild goblins in the yard, and suddenly she saw the only human among the goblins.
Ji Ranlin was holding a little rabbit in his arms and was combing its fur with tenderness. The sachet on his waist was exquisitely embroidered with a vivid jade rabbit on it.
Zhiluo's eyes lit up:
"If you want a gift that's both down-to-earth and something you can make yourself, it has to be a sachet. Perhaps you... well, can you embroider?"
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment:
"I haven't tried it yet. I'll have to see how it's made to know."
Zhiluo immediately called Chang Xiaoyu over and lent her some spiritual power.
Chang Xiaoyu received help from Yun Qingqing last time, and has made great progress in her recovery recently. She can now transform into a human form for a short period of time. With Zhiluo's spiritual power, she immediately changed her body shape and turned into a beautiful woman in a moment.
"Xiaoyu greets you, benefactor!" Chang Xiaoyu bowed to Yun Qingqing and asked, "May I ask what you may want to do for me?"
Zhiluo spoke for Yun Qingqing:
"Ji Ranlin always praises your embroidery skills as the best. It's just right that you can demonstrate how to make a sachet."
Chang Xiaoyu didn't quite understand why Lord Mountain Ghost asked her to do embroidery, but she still obeyed the order and immediately found needles, thread and silk.
Several people entered the room, and Chang Xiaoyu began to make sachets. She carefully explained the key points of embroidery to Yun Qingqing. She moved the needle very quickly, and soon the outline of a flower was embroidered on the cloth.
Yun Qingqing stared at Chang Xiaoyu for a while, picked out a piece of Liuhua satin fabric from the space, took a needle from the table, picked out some silk threads, and started working like her.
Seeing this, Zhiluo said with some worry:
"Don't you want to take a closer look? This kind of delicate work can't be mastered in a day or two... Or maybe we should think of another way..."
She thought that she had taken things for granted before. It was not until Chang Xiaoyu started to embroider that she realized that it was too difficult for her to learn embroidery in just one night.
However, as soon as Zhiluo finished speaking, she looked at the fabric in Yun Qingqing's hand with wide eyes.
Yun Qingqing moved the needle very quickly, and each stitch was extremely decisive and precise. After a short while, she had embroidered the exact same flower outline as the one on Chang Xiaoyu's hand, and then began to add details.
After more than an hour, Yun Qingqing put down her needlework and nodded thoughtfully:
"I think I know what to do now."
Zhiluo was amazed at the progress and sophistication of her embroidery, which far surpassed Chang Xiaoyu's.
Only then did she realize that Yun Qingqing's mental strength and control over her fingers were naturally far beyond that of ordinary people, so embroidery was nothing to her.
"This pattern will definitely look beautiful when made into a sachet. Just sew it at the end and it'll be done." Chang Xiaoyu said after praising it.
However, Yun Qingqing shook her head and took out another piece of dark-colored Liuhua satin.
Zhiluo's face was stunned:
"Ah? You're not..."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"This was just a test, the real thing has just begun."
Zhiluo's mouth twitched and she looked at the sky:
"I'm not trying to discourage you, but half the night has already passed since you last completed that 'experiment'. It's probably too late to start over now. Aren't you supposed to leave at daybreak?"
Yun Qingqing threaded the needle calmly and smiled calmly:
"If we continue to sew like we did just now, it will be too late."
