The mountain ghost blows out the lights

The four of them walked up the spiral staircase in the middle of the Star Picking Building in silence.

No one spoke, the high priest always said little, Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping had nothing to say.Shen Fan followed at the end. Although he had many questions, the atmosphere was obviously not suitable for him to speak, so he could only hold back silently.

If it wasn't for the Shen family to come up with a testimony, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the astrology building now, Shen Fan still has this self-knowledge.

There was only faint moonlight in the whole building, and the lantern in Shen Lianxing's hand, and the warm halo enveloped several people.

At the top of the stairs is a small door.

When they came to pick the core before, Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping walked here, but they didn't go any further, they just stood on the stairs and studied it.

Now that the high priest has also come here, she first looked at the hole that was exposed after the core was removed, then looked back at Shen Lianxing inexplicably, and finally said nothing, took out a key from under the cloak, and opened it. small door.

Shen Lianxing: "..."

No need to guess, her eyes clearly knew that the missing core was taken away by him.

Fortunately, the high priest didn't care about these things now. She just opened the door calmly and entered the room on the top floor of the Star Picking Building first.

There was a lamp on behind the door, and the light suddenly became much brighter. The most conspicuous thing was still the clock dial standing outside.

This building lost its source of power, as if its vitality and time were taken away in an instant. All the mechanism gears were stuck in place, and the dial did not move. It became a decoration that could only be used for viewing. Taste.

The room was quiet, because of the height of the building, most of the voices of the pedestrians below could not be heard, and occasionally there were some noises, but they were all hazy, as if separated by a layer of water mist, and could not be heard clearly.

The table with the astrolabe engraved in the center is still there.This room has not been touched since the last time they visited, but the place where the test was placed before was closed and turned back into a complete table.

The high priest walked to the table without saying a word and stood there, apparently waiting for Shen Lianxing.Shen Lianxing took out the jade bottle again, put it on the table, and pushed it forward.

"Jiuquan." He said, "That's all, it's all here."

Yan Jinping followed with a glance, and found that what he took out was actually the small bottle used by Hu Gong to hold medicine. It was not big, and if the liquid inside was poured out, it should only be enough for two mouthfuls.

... It was as if he wasn't the one who cut off the stream with the wine jar in the sky before.

The high priest didn't know about this, Shen Lianxing said that was all, she took it seriously, picked up the bottle carefully, opened it and took a look.

The rich bouquet escapes from the bottle.

When I was in the sky, the whole mountain was full of the smell of wine. After smelling it for a long time, I got used to it, but it was not so obvious.Now I suddenly smell it again, and I can finally taste the complex aroma of this wine, but it is not intoxicating. It is really different from the wine in the world.

Standing at the end, Shen Fan moved his nose, and the way he looked at the little bottle changed immediately.

——If what Shen Lianxing said is true, then this is an incredible fairy thing!

But it's impossible to tell where it came from just by smell.Shen Lianxing saw that the high priest was holding the bottle and did not move, so he reminded: "High priest?"

The high priest glanced at him, recapped the bottle, and solemnly held it in his hand.

Shen Lianxing was curious before, but now he finally had the opportunity to ask: "How are you going to be sure that this is Jiuquan?"

When Shen Lianxing was told the content of the test, the high priest said that she would have a way to confirm the authenticity by bringing Jiuquan back.Jiuquan is a thing in the sky, the high priest is a mortal, what can he do?

The high priest said concisely: "...Jiuquan."

Shen Lianxing: "Huh?"

The high priest might have gotten used to these two sentences with them, and the expression finally became fluent, and the sentences became much longer: "Since you have been to that place, you must have seen Jiuquan."

Shen Lianxing didn't know what she meant, nodded and said, "Yes."

Not only have I seen it, I've even touched it myself.

"Then you—" the high priest raised her rattan cane high, knocked it down horizontally, and hit the amethyst in the center of the table again with a 'boom', "you must have seen this too .”

The table opened in response, like overripe fruit, revealing the contents inside.

It is spring spirit.

Maybe the High Priest couldn't carry an extra pocket because she was wearing a cloak, so she liked to put all important things here.When I came back to Zhaixing Tower last time, there was only a letter left by Shen Yuansi on the table, but now there was an extra piece of small, shiny white jade.

Small in size, with obvious signs of being cut.

Shen Lianxing and Yan Jinping were all too familiar with this. They had just returned from Tianding Mountain and filled their pockets with exactly the same things, but they didn't take them out to show the high priest.

Only Shen Fan didn't understand, so he looked left and right, trying to figure out why these three people were staring at a piece of jade with solemn faces.

Isn't this just a piece of ordinary white jade, what's so good about it?

Shen Lianxing didn't reveal that he had seen Shen Zhi, thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I did see it in that Jiuquan, but I don't know what it is, so I didn't study it much, and I didn't touch it because of caution. "

There is no need to tell her that she brought back the soul of the spring, which is not something that should exist in the world. Although it looks ordinary, it may contain some extraordinary energy.It doesn't matter if there is a Zhaixing Building, if the evil spirits are allowed to go, maybe there will be many side issues.

The high priest didn't ask any more questions, and with a 'huh', he took out the spring soul and put it in his palm cherishingly, looked back, walked to the still dial in two steps, and lifted the spring soul under the moonlight .

The moonlight is soft, the soul of the spring is warm, and there is no special reaction.

The high priest opened the bottle and carefully poured the wine in the bottle on the spring.

Following her movements, the wine slid down the edge of the white jade, but it did not overflow, but was sucked into the spring before it was about to slide into the palm of the high priest.

The piece of white jade gradually became transparent from the edge.

There was not much wine in the bottle, and it was emptied in two strokes.Fortunately, the size of this spring soul is not big, it can be absorbed to the center, leaving a little milky white core, and finally no longer changes.

Looking at it now, it looks like a piece of transparent glass, the cut surface reflects the moonlight, casting colorful light and shadow on the high priest's palm.

——Now, anyone can see that this Jiuquan is not fake or shoddy.

The liquid in the world cannot achieve this effect.

The high priest lowered his head, watched the whole process in silence, put away the transparent spring soul in a precious and important place, nodded to Shen Lianxing and said, "Patriarch Shen."

The high priest's will can almost represent the entire Yanjing City, and now that she has called out, even if she recognizes Shen Lianxing's position as Patriarch, everything is finally settled.

Shen Lianxing also bowed back, and asked again: "High Priest—what's going on, can you explain now?"

Why was Quan Soul able to absorb Jiuquan, and why did such a change occur?

The high priest gave him a strange look: "How do I know?"

Shen Lianxing: "... I thought you knew."

She made such a big move with such confidence, Shen Lianxing would of course think that she knew something inside.

"I don't know." The high priest shook his head and said, "I only know what will happen if I do this, and I can see it from the notebook I gave you."

Shen Lianxing: "Shen Zhi's notes? But it doesn't say——"

His voice stopped.

Shen Lianxing had indeed read through Shen Zhi's notes, but there was still a part of it that he didn't see.

"I wrote it." The high priest confirmed his guess without changing his expression, "On the last few pages, Shen Yuansi tore it down."

Shen Lianxing: "...What did you say?"

It talked about what happened after Shen Zhi successfully created the magpie.

He talked about his short-term becoming a sub-immortal, and his research on Jiuquan and Quanpo... and where the damaged magpie went in the end.

Maybe it was because this matter was too bizarre, or maybe Shen Zhi didn't regard it as a big deal at all, so he only wrote a few words on the last few pages of his notes.

There is no way to elaborate on the matter of becoming a god, and Quan Po has not researched anything famous.Shen Zhi didn't bring many spring souls and wine springs back from Tianding Mountain. After many attempts, he finally produced a huge transparent spring soul.

He later carved it carefully, and hung it in the center of the core of the Star Picking Building as an ornament.

So the high priest knew where the core was coming from, and the moment the bell rang that night, she knew it was done.

If he hadn't studied Fei Que thoroughly, it would be impossible for Shen Lianxing to notice the dismantled parts on Zhaixing Tower.

Shen Lianxing: "... Please tell us more carefully."

The high priest had expected Shen Lianxing's reaction in this way. She glanced at Shen Lianxing, and suddenly said without beginning or end: "The Shen family is going downhill."

Shen Lianxing: "Yes."

He could see it.The Shen family is good at mechanical techniques, but the current Shen family has long since given up on it, intrigues, brother-in-law, and now they can still maintain normal operations, all because the scale is too large, even if it declines, there must be a process.

"Shen Yuansi—your grandfather cares about the Shen family very much." The high priest said again, "He doesn't want that kind of thing to happen."

Shen Yuansi is different from Shen Lianxing, he has a strong sense of belonging to the Shen family.After becoming the head of the family, he soon realized that the Shen family was about to decline, and he spent his whole life trying to change its future.

But with his own strength, there is really nothing he can do.

The Shen family has existed for too long, its rise did not happen in a day or two, and as for its decline, it did not just start in these years.

The high priest said softly: "Later, he read your ancestors' notes."

Of course, all the previous Patriarchs had owned Shen Zhi's notes. In fact, almost every Patriarch had written a copy of such notes.Putting them all in a secret room has almost become a customary habit.

But firstly, they basically would not believe such an unrealistic story, and secondly, the Shen family had not declined to this point at that time.In the era when it can still develop and the personnel composition is not redundant and slack, there is really no need to waste time and energy, take the risk of doing something about flying magpies, and researching about what Zenith Mountain is.

"Shen Yuansi urgently needs a solution to the problem, but Shen only told him that this way is feasible."

Shen Lianxing listened intently, as if he had anticipated what the high priest was going to say.

"He thinks you can." The high priest stared at Shen Lianxing's expression, the oil paint on his face revealed an almost holy weirdness under the light, "He hoped that you could, so he set this test."

At that time, Shen Lianxing was not old enough, only she and Shen Yuansi could barely be considered friends, and they were also the high priest of Yanjing City, Shen Yuansi would occasionally come to her to discuss some things.

Shen Yuansi believed that as long as Shen Lianxing successfully created the magpie, he could step into the realm of 'God' just like his ancestors.

At that time, if the Shen family is willing to worship Shen Lianxing, they may be able to get the blessing of the gods and revive themselves.

He didn't expect that as soon as he fell, those people couldn't wait to tear up the calm on the surface, hurt Shen Lianxing, and even couldn't wait for the death of the Patriarch to kill his only heir.

Now that things were going on, even if Shen Lianxing really became a god, he would never protect the Shen family who had hurt him.

It's a pity that the test has already been set, and since then, Shen Yuansi has trouble even speaking, and the whole person is lying on the bed half dead, I don't know if he has thought about changing the content of the test.

...Even if there was, it didn't work out in the end.

The author says:

Shen Fan: Can I listen to this for free?

Shen Lianxing: So I am a tool man.

Shen Sanguang digged and searched, obviously brought a lot of things back, only willing to give the high priest a small bottle of hhhhh
