Chapter 25 25. Mysterious Statue
At noon, the family ate pork liver and drank big bone soup. As for the best pork belly, Su Sanlan smeared it with salt. If her daughter had not been staying at home for a day and a half, she would have wanted to pickle the meat.
Zhengyue and Dazhuang's bellies were bulging, their little hands stroking their bellies. Even Big Brother Shi and his friends were so full of food that they were full of energy when they returned to work in the afternoon. The scorekeeper, Dashitou, nodded inwardly and gave them all the highest work points, 10.
Shi Liu, carrying her backpack, strolled to the back mountain, heading briskly towards the Prince's Tomb. She had bought a bunch of discounted gold foil from Yin Yang Pavilion the other day, and had recently folded it all into gold ingots. This time, she came to burn gold ingots for the three masters. After all, even if the burial objects had been numerous, they had probably been spent over the years, and...
The Prince's Tomb is truly a rare and good place to sign in. This reminds Shi Liu of the Feng Dynasty's custom of burying living people alive. She doesn't think that Prince Rui and his wife are cruel. After all, they have no descendants, and their funeral rites are probably ordered by the emperor.
According to the emperor's family's fear of the deposed prince's lineage, most of those who were buried alive were forced to do so, and there were many capable people among them. However, there are very few ghosts left in the original place until now. However, these are enough for her to learn for a lifetime.
Shi Liu came here this time to learn dancing from a dancer who was buried with the dead. If she didn't learn quickly while she was still young and her muscles were not yet stiff, in a few years, even if she wanted to learn, it would be very difficult.
[Discover the tomb of the Yue clan dancer from the Western Regions. Do you need to spend 3 check-in points to sign in?]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Western Region Dance Skills Tutorial and Western Region Dance Set*9]
After receiving the skill teaching she had been longing for, Shi Liu smiled and narrowed her eyes. This time, her elder brother and his companions had prevented her from finding a chance to sign in at the funeral shop. Fortunately, her origami skills were still sufficient.
On a piece of yellow paper, they wrote the names of Prince Rui and his wife, their foster mother, and their new master, Yueshi. Then, they used a locust wood stick to light the paper and the gold ingot. When the flames rose and the white smoke formed a circle around them before dissipating, Shi Liu knew the masters had received it.
Standing up and brushing off the dust on his pants, Shi Liu turned around and wanted to leave, but looking at the check-in points in his account, he simply signed in at the treasure room of the Prince's Tomb and was very lucky to get a set of kingfisher phoenix crowns.
Shi Liu carefully took out the phoenix corona and examined it. The more she looked at it, the tighter her frown deepened. The corona in her hand was described as "a nine-dragon and four-phoenix corona, with a lacquered bamboo silk round frame and jadeite topped. It was adorned with nine emerald dragons and four golden phoenixes. The central dragon held a large pearl, topped with an emerald cover and dangling with pearls, while the others held pearl drops in their mouths. There were also forty pearl and emerald clouds, twelve large pearl flowers, and three small pearl flowers similar in size to the large ones." This was clearly the empress's corona, but Princess Rui was clearly not qualified to wear it. So who was the owner of this corona? Perhaps she could ask Prince Rui himself.
Then Shi Liu put the phoenix crown away. This phoenix crown was definitely a real antique, so she had to keep it well. With the gains from her signing in, maybe she could open a private museum in the future that was no less than the National Museum.
"Hey, why is there a sign-in area here?"
[A cliff was discovered. Do you want to sign in at 1 sign-in point?]
Shi Liu felt that no matter how stingy the sign-in system was, it would not display a useless sign-in location. She could still afford one sign-in point.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 3 pure wild blood ganoderma and 10 mushrooms]
It's a big deal! Pure wild Ganoderma lucidum is so valuable it's practically in short supply. Many precious medicinal foods and drinks contain Ganoderma lucidum.
Shi Liu happened to have a recipe for health-promoting Ganoderma wine in her memory. One of the precious ingredients was blood Ganoderma. These three strains could produce at least 60 kilograms of health-promoting Ganoderma wine. As for the newly acquired mushrooms, they were very expensive in modern times. She took them back and asked her third sister-in-law to help make mushroom sauce. Otherwise, she couldn't stand eating steamed buns all day.
Shi Liu also noticed that the check-in location displayed "Resetting," indicating that she would be able to check in again once the reset was complete. A single Blood Ganoderma lucidum plant cost at least a thousand yuan, and a single check-in location could fetch 1,500 yuan, making it a much more profitable option than checking in at a bank. Shi Liu felt she had underestimated the value of the mountain behind. While there was still time, she decided to wander the mountains, searching for unusual and unusual places.
The scattering footsteps startled several pheasants. Shi Liu rubbed her stomach. She was craving some roast chicken, but the pheasants were so agile that they were impossible to catch. Fortunately, she found about a dozen eggs where the pheasants had flown away. She was now increasingly envious of the space the heroines in novels had, where they could grow crops and raise livestock. Unlike the space she had in the system, which was not only small but also incapable of storing living things.
At this time, Pomegranate did not know that someone would come to her door with an omnipotent space in the future.
[I found a lonely grave in the wilderness. Do I need to spend 1 sign-in point to sign in?]
Unconsciously, she came to this desolate grave again. Shi Liu felt that she might have an inextricable connection with this desolate grave, and her fingers clicked [Sign In] uncontrollably.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Golden Nanmu Ebony Statue*1]
Ebony, also known as sunken wood, combines the quaint elegance of wood with the verve of stone, earning it the nicknames "Oriental Sacred Wood" and "Plant Mummy." Throughout history, ebony has been used to ward off evil spirits, crafted into handicrafts, Buddhist statues, and amulet pendants. The ancients said, "Half a cubic meter of ebony in your home is worth a chest of treasure." Among ebony species, golden nanmu, a member of the nanmu family, is the most expensive, fetching between 80,000 and 150,000 yuan per cubic meter. The older and better-preserved the ebony, the higher its price.
The golden nanmu ebony statue in Shi Liu's hand was exquisitely carved, lifelike, and full of natural charm, making people intimidated. As Shi Liu looked at it, she felt dizzy. She seemed to see a group of people preparing for a sacrifice, and on the altar was a tall statue of a god, which was very similar to the goddess statue in her hand.
Everyone beneath the altar was singing and dancing. Shi Liu felt that the song and dance seemed to possess a unique charm. After watching for a long time, she even felt dizzy. As the song and dance grew louder, a vague figure emerged from the goddess statue and danced gracefully with the crowd...
Shi Liu's vision went dark as she emerged from the illusion. She felt incredibly tired and sleepy. Coming to her senses, she realized she had dripped blood onto the goddess statue without realizing it. This realization shocked Shi Liu, and she quickly asked the system, "System, what exactly is this statue?"
The little ghost on the system side didn't expect that the host had obtained the inheritance statue without paying attention. He couldn't help but envy his eyes green. Why didn't he have such luck? However, the answer still had to be answered.
[I found that the inheritance statue can be uploaded to Yin Yang Pavilion. Will the host sell it? 】
Shi Liu's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. She felt that the system's words were full of excitement, as if silently encouraging her to sell the statue. "I don't want to sell it yet. System, why do I feel that you want this statue?"
As Shi Liu spoke, a little devil in the abyss of hell was being burned by the red lotus fire...
A majestic voice echoed from above the underworld: "System Customer Service Number 4143 has violated customer service regulations. According to regulations, he must endure the burning of the Red Lotus Karma Fire for one hour."
Countless staff members in the underworld were suddenly in an uproar...
