There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

Bai Ling immediately called two eunuchs and carried the tribute table into the eldest princess's room. She followed her in, holding the Moon Spirit Bead.

Without the moonlight, the Moon Spirit Pearl immediately shrank to the size of a quail egg, and its color and halo also changed from deep purple to emerald green.

After the orb shrunk, the original four-dragon hugging bracket became difficult to place. It can only be placed in a small wooden box covered with a red doily.

After the arrangement was completed, Bai Ling said goodbye to the eldest princess and exited the room.

Xiao Qin sat on the bedside, looking at the emerald green Yue Ling Bead, and could not help but think of the scenes that happened after Nangong Feiyu presented the bead.

"Asshole, when you come back, I will give you this treasure!"

She murmured, stood up, walked to the tribute table, and took the Moon Spirit Bead out of the wooden box.

This was the first time she had touched this magical orb with her own hands.

She held the Moon Spirit Pearl in her palm and brought it to her eyes.

Suddenly, the orb trembled slightly, then gradually grew in size, and its color also changed from green to purple, as if it had been placed under the moonlight just now.

"what!"

Xiao Qin was shocked and almost dropped the orb.

In panic, she threw the orb onto the bed. As soon as it was released, the Moon Spirit Pearl immediately shrank and returned to its emerald green color.

She stood in front of the bed, staring at the green beads on the brocade quilt in horror. At this moment, the green ball became as scary as a ghost.

Since the Moon Spirit Pearl was presented to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother would ask people to take it out and admire it every moonlit night.

Xiao Qin has seen it being held up and held up dozens of times, but it has never grown bigger or changed color without moonlight.

"How is this going?"

Her mood could not be calm for a long time.

"Lark, Lark!" she shouted loudly.

Soon, Bai Ling ran over.

"Princess, what are your orders?"

Xiao Qin pointed to the orb on the bed and said, "Quickly, put it in the box!"

Although Bai Ling was puzzled, he could only do as he was told.

She carefully picked up the Moon Spirit Pearl and put it into the wooden box. I thought to myself, the eldest princess is really getting weirder and weirder, and she still wants to call me for such a trivial matter.

"Take...take it away!" Xiao Qin's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes!" Bai Ling closed the lid of the box, picked up the box, turned around and left.

"Wait!" Xiao Qin stopped her.

Bai Ling stood at the door, turned around and looked confused.

"Put...put it back!" Xiao Qin pointed at the tribute table and said.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, then brought the box back and put it on the table.

"Okay, it's none of your business!" Xiao Qin stared at the box.

"Then, eldest princess, please rest early. I'll leave this servant!" Bai Ling exited the room and closed the door.

Xiao Qin stood in front of the tribute table, hesitated for a long time, reached out and opened the lid of the wooden box.

In her eyes, the fear gradually faded away, replaced by endless desire and greed.

In her hand, the Moon Spirit Bead unexpectedly changed like the moonlight.

This means that there must be some kind of connection between this treasure and her, and this connection cannot be replaced by anyone else.

There must be something strange hidden in her that no one else has.

But, what is the secret of Yuelingzhu?

What is so strange about her?

Is this mysterious connection a blessing or a curse?

She was struggling hard inside.

The emerald green orb lay quietly on the cushion in the box, like a mysterious bottomless abyss.

Every time her eyes moved over, there was a powerful magic that attracted her to go and find out.

Suddenly, she seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and couldn't help but tremble all over.

"No, I can't touch it again!" she murmured, resolutely closing the lid.

"I want to wait for Mr. Ye to come back and let him give me an idea!"

……

43 miles west of the capital, there is the Xishan Tomb of Changsong Mountain.

This is the terrifying place that people in the capital are least willing to go to, or even talk about. Buried under the tombs all over the mountains and plains are those sinners who violated the strict laws and had their families executed without anyone to collect their bodies.

The raised earth mounds, which are either high or low, are already covered with weeds. In front of each earth mound, there is only a simple wooden board with the name of the tomb owner written on it. Some of the boards were rotten and some had collapsed.

The cold wind blew by, making the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling, making the desolate barren mountains even more eerie and terrifying.

Tap, tap, tap...

The rapid sound of horse hooves came along the path up the mountain.

On the mountainside, in a low and dilapidated hut, there was an old man who was so thin that he was only skin and bones, with his back hunched and leaning on a crooked stick.

He opened his eyes. There was no pupil in his eyelids, only a small black dot. He turned out to be a blind man.

He squeezed out the wrinkles on his face, showed a long-lost smile, grinned his mouth full of big yellow teeth, and said sadly:

"It's going to change!"

His name is Feng Shiren, and he is the tombkeeper here.

Logically speaking, it would be good if the imperial court could grant them a cemetery for these criminals who had their families executed. All their belongings were confiscated, and naturally there were no burial objects. There is no need for any gravekeepers here.

In fact, decades ago, there were indeed no gravekeepers here.

Feng Shiren's first duty was as a corpse stitcher and gravedigger.

The duty of the corpse stitcher is to sew the decapitated head and body together so that the deceased can barely have a complete corpse.

Gravediggers dig holes to bury these stitched corpses and bury them in the ground.

However, in the past ten years or so, the government has been stable, the government is in good hands and people are harmonious, and extreme incidents such as the execution of entire families have not occurred again.

Feng Shiren had no body to sew and no grave to dig. The court thought that he was alone, blind and pitiful, so he was allowed to stay here and continue to guard the tomb, so that he could at least earn a living.

He opened the door and walked out. The horse neighed in front of him, and someone got off the horse.

"You came?"

The eldest princess Xiao Qin looked at his withered face with a trace of pity in her eyes.

She has been bold since she was a child, and she has a noble status and is not controlled. She often runs around with her childhood playmates. After walking around the capital, we went outside the city. There was nothing new and exciting outside the city. One day, we suddenly came to the Xishan Tomb of Changsong Mountain, which made everyone talk about it.

None of the other playmates dared to go up the mountain. Xiao Qin became competitive, so she walked up alone regardless of everyone's obstruction. That year, she was only 13 years old.

She was surprised to find that there was a tombkeeper living here, and out of curiosity, she started chatting with him. The gravekeeper Feng Shiren seemed to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and he wanted to tell this little girl everything he knew.

Astronomy and geography, strange stories, yin and yang and five elements, numerology and feng shui...

The blind tombkeeper turned out to be proficient in everything. He knew more than the Hanlin Academy bachelor who taught Xiao Qin in the palace. And what he told was all strange knowledge that no one else had ever told and she had never heard of.

She was suddenly exposed to too many new things, as if she had discovered a whole new world. Her little mind was greatly impacted and shocked.

Since then, she has been running here often and chatting with Feng Shiren for a long time. Many things that I couldn't figure out or solve before can find satisfactory answers here.

Until later, he met Ye Qingchen...

"I know you know a lot of weird things, so I wanted to come and ask for advice!"

The smile on Feng Shiren's face suddenly faded, and he asked with a straight face: "Have you stopped practicing your Xuanyin Kung Fu?"

Xiao Qin frowned slightly and said, "A friend told me that Xuanyin Kung Fu is very harmful to the body and advised me not to practice it."

"Nonsense!" Feng Shiren looked a little disappointed, "It's just a child's opinion! The most you women can achieve in practicing martial arts is to achieve great internal strength. Only Xuanyin Kung Fu can maximize your strength. Although it hurts your body a little at the beginning, as long as you persist, you will benefit a lot later. "
