Chapter 1 Lingyuan Jade Pendant
Chapter 1
The gentle afterglow shines through the leaves, leaving colorful shadows on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Among the lush green mountains of 100 feet, there is a high place next to the water, nestled in a cave.
Jun Yi wristed the cloth on his body, walked towards the cave slowly with the newly caught fish, and shouted from a distance, "I'm back."
She raised the knife and moved cleanly on the rock at the entrance of the cave, disemboweling the fish in her hand, scraping the scales and removing the bones.
There was no response in the cave for a long time. Jun Yi just thought that the ancestor had fallen asleep while meditating again, and continued what he was doing. After setting up the bonfire, he saw that the ancestor had not come out yet, so he went in to call.
There was a small mountain of books in the cave, including old books on humanities, history, Zhouyi and Bagua. Jun Yi glanced around and did not see the figure of the ancestor, but found a package on the stone table.
and a letter.
Seeing this, Jun Yi's heart tightened and he walked forward slowly.
Opening the letter, a piece of white jade pendant with exquisite texture fell out. It was round and simple, without any carvings, but the jade quality was gentle and the jade veins were clear. It was of high quality at first glance.
Jun Yi quickly picked up the jade pendant and saw that there was no scratch on it. He breathed a sigh of relief and focused on the content of the letter.
"My disciple personally opened
I have run away for my life. Lingyuan Jade Perry is all my property. All my treasures are in it. You must keep it safe. Don’t use it indiscriminately when it is not necessary to save your life!
Have you seen that package? Inside is the disciple uniform of our sect, a high-quality ice Zen garment, which is considered a good thing in this world. You are my direct disciple, put it on. It might be possible to save your life in a critical moment.
The world is about to go into chaos, try to survive."
Jun Yi opened the package and found a soft white gown inside.
Grandmaster, what does this mean? You were fine when you left in the morning, but now you are gone?
Why are you running for your life? Where do you find enemies?
Also, what does the last sentence mean by striving to survive...
Jun Yi couldn't figure it out for a while. When he was hesitating, he suddenly thought of the fish at the entrance of the cave. He slapped his forehead and shouted, "No!"
After being delayed for a while when he went in, Jun Yi came out again and looked at the stone pier at the door. Sure enough, the fish he had taken care of were gone.
Jun Yi lost his temper and knew without thinking that the fish must have entered the belly of the white snake entrenched on the top of the cave.
That white snake has been entrenched above the entrance of the cave since Jun Yi could remember it. It is five or six meters long, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and its body is silver-white. If you look closely under the moonlight, it seems to be shining.
Most of the time, it lies sleeping at the entrance of the cave and never hurts anyone. Occasionally it wakes up, either to eat or to enjoy the sun.
The Patriarch said that White Snake has spiritual consciousness, which is very rare in this lower world. Therefore, White Snake's life was not harmed.
It doesn't hibernate like other snakes. When the snow is heavy in winter, it will occasionally turn into a hole and roast itself shamelessly by the fire.
Two people and one snake have been living like this for more than ten years.
When Jun Yi was twelve or thirteen years old, he read The Legend of White Snake in a book, and he always called it White Snake.
"Girl! I ate your fish, aren't you angry?" A gentle and magnetic male voice sounded above the head behind him, with a strange accent. Jun Yi turned around warily and saw a man squatting on the cave, spitting.
Snake Xinzi's White Lady.
It... spoke??!!
Jun Yi tilted her head slightly, and the expression on her face went blank. She moved her mouth, and countless thoughts were running through her mind. In the end, she just came out of her mouth with a somewhat irrelevant sentence: "You... it turns out you are
Male."
The White Lady was speechless.
He rolled his eyes in a very humane manner, and then leaned forward half-way unsteadily.
"Aren't you curious about anything else? I saw the old man walking away." He nodded twice at the jade pendant in Jun Yi's hand, and then said, "This thing is a treasure."
"Are you... a sperm?" Jun Yi tried her best to ignore the influence of the unclear accent, and tried to regain her sense from the shock of White Snake speaking in human language. She looked at the jade pendant in her hand,
He looked at Bai Niangniang again, with a trace of confusion on her face.
"Can I trust you?" Jun Yi asked.
The White Lady shook her head when she heard this, looking a little helpless: "You kid, you still don't believe me. Then the old man told me how to use this treasure, but you need to do something for me before I can help you.
.”
It turns out that it was Grandmaster who told me...
That should be believable...
"Let me help you." Jun Yi spread her hand, revealing the white jade pendant inside. She stretched her hand forward very simply and asked: "How to use it?"
The White Lady thought she would have to spend some words to persuade Jun Yi, but she didn't expect that Jun Yi was willing to believe him without even saying a few words. At that moment, her eyes widened in disbelief.
"You agreed without asking me what I wanted you to do for me?"
Jun Yi paused after hearing this and asked seriously: "Are you good at keeping your words?"
The White Lady quickly denied it: "Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a domestic snake! I keep my word!"
Jun Yi nodded: "That's fine."
Bai Niangniang:......
"You can use it with just a drop of blood." The White Lady muttered: "You baby, you don't look like a cunning person... Don't break your promise, you will help me when you say you will help me!"
Jun Yi hummed, then bit his finger without any delay and dripped the blood on the jade pendant.
A flash of white light flashed, and cool spiritual power surged through the meridians. Jun Yi looked with his consciousness, and the next second he appeared in the space jade pendant.
There is a long and simple corridor in front of him, with no end as if it can't be seen, with a dragon and a phoenix on both sides, each holding a bead in its mouth and puffing out clouds.
Jun Yi raised his feet and walked forward, but an invisible wall appeared in front of him, preventing Jun Yi from moving forward.
There is a door on the left hand side and a door on the right hand side. One says "Waste and Miscellaneous" and the other says "Lounge".
Could it be that Grandmaster regarded this place as his own nest?
Will there be anything good in it?
Jun Yi thought about it for a while and walked into the lounge. The sight she saw made her take a breath of air. A piece of green grass was like a natural blanket. The bright sunshine illuminated the sky and the earth.
In a small space, there was a two-story attic. Jun Yi wanted to take a look. With this thought, he stood in front of the attic in the blink of an eye.
However, just when Jun Yi opened the door full of expectation, he saw the messy and empty space that made Jun Yi close the door in despair, wishing to open it again.
This lounge fully demonstrates what it means to be a family with four walls.
When I walked in, the wooden boards under my feet were rattling. Except for the windows and doors, which were intact, there was a smell of dust inside, as if it hadn't been opened for hundreds of years.
Before opening the door, Jun Yi was still thinking whether his ancestor often left her outside and came here to enjoy his happiness. Now it was proved that she was overly worried.
This place is not as good as that cave with good lighting.
Jun Yi walked out of the attic. There was a lake outside. The water was crystal clear, but it was so quiet that there was not even a trace of life.
It's really a thief who shakes his head when he comes.
Jun Yi walked out of the lounge in disappointment, looked at the words "miscellaneous waste" on the opposite side, and suddenly lost interest in pushing the door and walking in.
But thinking of the mysterious reason for his master's departure, Jun Yi still held a glimmer of hope and reached out to push the door open...
