I open a bookstore in the human world

Just when Xia Lan gritted her teeth and was about to jump into the sea to find a certain mermaid prince who tried to kill her, the calm sea surface suddenly moved, and then a familiar head appeared, waving vigorously at Xia Lan.Under the bright sunlight, Xia Lan could even clearly see the smile on his face, the opening and closing of his mouth, as if he was saying something.

Hearing his words, Xia Lan was in a daze for a moment, and even forgot to help pull Song Lan ashore until Song Lan stepped out of the sea by herself and spread her palm in front of her.

"What did you say?" Xia Lan stared at Song Lan in shock, unable to believe her ears.

Song Lan's clear eyes were extremely excited. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked again: "Look, this is the Soul Condensation Orb?"

Song Lan's palm was spread out carefully, and in the palm was a transparent bead with a diameter of less than five centimeters. The surface of the bead was round and smooth, without any trace of corrosion. Colorful light.

The Condensing Soul Bead had disappeared 3000 years ago, so it was impossible for Xia Lan to have seen its authentic work, but she had seen a restoration picture of the bead in an album titled "Ancient Treasures" published by Tianjie.

Xia Lan is not a treasure appraiser. In her opinion, at least in appearance, this bead is exactly the same as what is in the album.

Could this really be the Soul Concentrating Orb?Could it be that this brat really touched the Soul Condensation Orb by mistake?No way?In the past 3000 years, how many warriors have gone to the sea to find it, but none of them succeeded. This little devil found it in just a few minutes?It is difficult to find a pearl in the sea, but to find a treasure that has disappeared for 3000 years in the endless sea, the probability of success is even lower than that of the underworld, which is almost impossible!

Xia Lan didn't speak, but seeing her expression, Song Lan already understood a little bit, and his breathing became rapid: "Is it really the Soul Condensation Orb?"

As he said that, he couldn't help moving his eyes to the orb, and the scene of him jumping into the sea not long ago could not help appearing in his mind——

Song Lan was not as reckless as Xia Lan thought. She was very aware of her own strength. She could only last 10 minutes in the endless sea. If she didn't go ashore after this time, she might never get out again.So, before going into the sea, he made a plan: he could only stay in the sea for 10 minutes, and when the time was up, he had to go ashore immediately, regardless of whether he found the Soul Condensation Orb or not.

In fact, Song Lan also understands that finding a pearl in a haystack is not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack. If it were really that simple, the Soul Condensation Pearl had been found 3000 years ago, so it wouldn't be until today.However, he has no choice. If he wants to save Xie Daonian, he must find this orb.

Even if there is a mountain of knives and an abyss in front of him, he has to give it a try.

He jumped into the sea with the determination to die. The moment he fell into the sea, he saw a glimmer of light in front of him.

Before the brain had time to think, the body had already responded for him.Almost involuntarily, Song Lan stretched his limbs and swam towards the dim light. Immediately, he found a bead that naturally glowed faintly in a pile of mud dissolved by something unknown.

Without hesitation, he reached out to take the bead and held it tightly in his hand, so he couldn't see the dazzling light from the moment the orb touched his palm.

***

As for Song Lan's easy finding of the Soul Condensation Orb, whether it was Xia Lan or King Equality, it could only be attributed to the reason of "this is the destiny".

"The way of heaven is above, the third prince should not die." Almost everyone who knew about this matter said so, except for one person.

In the huge Jinluan Palace, usually all the immortals would be surrounded by purple aura, but at this moment there were only two people left.

"Lao Jun, what do you think of this matter?" On the high jade steps, the majestic Emperor of Heaven still held the happy news from the underworld in his hand, and there was a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes, which had always been neither happy nor sad. Anyone else present would have been surprised at his restlessness.

Taishang Laojun stroked his snow-white beard, his expression was more natural than that of the Heavenly Emperor on the throne.He just smiled: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the hexagram that the old man calculated for the Third Prince?"

The Heavenly Emperor naturally remembered that hexagram. That day the third prince was missing a soul and a soul, and his soul was unstable and in danger. Fortunately, the Taishang Laojun discovered the method from ancient books, and the third prince was sent to the human world to cultivate his soul.However, the effect was not good, so we had to join forces with the underworld to think of another way. At that time, Tete asked the old man to make a fortune, so this task fell on Song Lan, the new ghost envoy.

The little ghost Song did not disappoint them after all, the third prince's health was indeed getting better day by day, and he recovered at an extremely fast speed.If not, the Heavenly Emperor would not tolerate the relationship between the two, and he would just turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

But he had to admit that when this matter was over, he might not be sure what he would do to that little ghost.

After all, the third prince is his own son, and he has decided in his heart to be the successor of the next Heavenly Emperor. If the world knows that the future Empress is actually a ghost from the underworld, he will probably be ridiculed by the Three Realms.And as the Lord of the Heaven Realm, he is also the most noble existence in the Three Realms, so there must be no stains.

Originally thought that Song Lan's role was only to help the third prince collect soul fragments so that he could recover as soon as possible. According to the original plan, this result would be realized soon.Unexpectedly, the unexpected accident of breaking the abyss occurred halfway, but for the sake of the common people in the world, I had to inform the third prince the truth in advance.

As expected, the third prince did not disappoint anyone. Although his strength had not yet recovered, he sealed the abyss monster again before it broke through the seal. Unexpectedly, he himself was seriously injured and his life was at stake.

The situation this time is different from before, even if the third prince stays in the human world for thousands of years, it will not help. The only way to save him is to find the Soul Condensation Orb that has disappeared for thousands of years, and the third prince still has a glimmer of life.

This result left everyone speechless: they all knew the power of the endless sea, unless the Emperor of Heaven personally salvaged it, there was no hope.After all, the Emperor of Heaven is the lord of the entire Heaven Realm, responsible for sitting in the Heavenly Court, no matter how anxious he is, he can't leave everything behind and go to find the orb for his son himself.

It's not that I never thought of sending heavenly soldiers and generals to search for pearls in the sea, but after searching for them for several days and nights, not only did I find nothing, but even caused considerable losses.There were some discussions inside and outside the heavenly court, but the emperor had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the heavenly soldiers and generals, and find another way.

Unexpectedly, what tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals failed to do, a small underworld ghost envoy could do.

Now that Laojun mentioned the hexagram of that day again, the Emperor of Heaven couldn't help but shake his head: Is it really God's will?

With this in mind, the Heavenly Emperor didn't dare to be careless, and thought that maybe he would change his attitude towards Little Ghost Song just because of this.

Taishang Laojun still combed his beard and smiled, but did not answer.As an old immortal who has been around for thousands of years, Ren Tiandi was an important minister in the heavenly court when he was still a baby. There are only a handful of immortals left in the ancient times, why haven't you seen them for thousands of years?Of course he knew the ambiguous attitude of the Emperor of Heaven towards Song Lan, and he also knew that the Lord of the Heaven Realm had the idea of ​​killing a donkey in his heart. He didn't plan to intervene, but that day...

That's all, it's better to make a good relationship with this.

"Old gentleman, what is Song Lan's origin?" After all, he is the lord of the heavens, a formidable character. Seeing that the Supreme Lord was silent, the Heavenly Emperor also vaguely guessed that something was wrong. Covered, I was even more surprised.

——At this point, if he can't figure out some clues, he will be the Emperor of Heaven for many years in vain.

After all, the other party was still the Emperor of Heaven, and the Taishang Laojun didn't want to offend too much. Anyway, the time had come, so he half-covered and pointed in a direction: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what happened before the Soul Condensation Orb was lost?"

What happened 3000 years ago, the current Emperor of Heaven was still the prince at that time, even though his memory is extraordinary, but after all, there are many noble people, so I can only vaguely remember a few words: "I heard that it was the congenital treasure of the Soul Condensation Orb that the two clans of witches and witches competed for. The orb fell into the endless sea, and it has only been dusty for 3000 years."

As he said that, the Emperor of Heaven also faintly felt that something was wrong: this Soul Concentrating Orb is an innate treasure with its own spirituality. A ghostly place like Zhihai?

Seeing the seriousness on the Emperor's face, Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and nodded and smiled: "It seems that His Majesty has discovered where the joints are."

"What happened to the Soul Condensation Orb 3000 years ago?" the Heavenly Emperor asked.

"Nowadays, very few people know, even in ancient books, that there was a guardian of this Soul Condensation Orb." Taishang Laojun's face was calm, but what he said was a secret that few people knew, "Ning Soul Orb. Soul beads are innately cultivated treasures, with their own spirituality, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, gradually condensing their own spiritual consciousness, transforming into human beings, living with the beads, and in ancient times they were called "bead guards."

"Actually, there were many innate treasures in ancient times, but it was a pity that they were lost in countless battles between gods and demons. Because of the role of the Soul Condensation Orb, it was supposed to be a treasure that many parties fought for, but it was able to destroy heaven and earth again and again. It was preserved after the war, and it did not fall into the hands of demons, precisely because of this bead keeper."

"The Pearl Keeper protected the Pearl from catastrophe after calamity until the end of the ancient era, when the Three Realms formally separated the political power, and the era of chaos ended. It stands to reason that the Pearl Keeper should rest easy. Unexpectedly, this is the beginning of tragedy."

"Although survived the most chaotic period in ancient times, after all, it was still worn out, and the bead keeper gradually couldn't hold on. He took the orb and found a secluded place to recuperate. Unexpectedly, the hermitage was exposed 3000 years ago. , The reappearance of the soul-condensing orb naturally attracted greed, and the witches and witches joined forces to compete with the bead-keeper. The subsequent battle of witches and witches." Taishang Laojun's voice was calm, his eyebrows were lowered, his face was expressionless, and he seemed to be used to such incidents.

The Emperor of Heaven was surprised: the result of the war between witches and witches was that both sides suffered losses, and the population was sparse. Since then, the two clans have formed a bloody feud, which has calmed down a lot, and human beings have thus prospered.Unexpectedly, the cause of this war was actually for a precious orb.

However, the Heavenly Emperor still doesn't quite understand, what does the Taishang Laojun have to do with that Song kid?

Lao Shang laojun sighed at the ignorance of the current Emperor of Heaven, so he had no choice but to point out further: "In this world, if anyone can easily find the Soul Condensation Pearl, the only one is the Pearl Keeper who lives and breathes with it."

The Emperor of Heaven was shocked, his eyeballs were almost out of frame, and he didn't even have time to put on his usual majestic expression: "What Laojun means is that the little ghost of Song Dynasty is actually the Pearl Keeper? But didn't the Pearl Keeper fall 3000 years ago? "

The word "falling" had a specific meaning in ancient times, which meant that the soul disappeared and did not exist in the world.No matter how destructive the great god is, as long as he falls, it will only turn into a ray of breeze, a smear of loess.

From this point of view, the way of heaven is fair after all. Immortals live long, but they may only enjoy wealth for a lifetime. Ordinary people have short lives, but they can be reincarnated for generations. In another sense, this is not a kind of longevity.

Taishang Laojun reminded: "Your Majesty, don't forget the characteristics of the Soul Condensation Orb."

The Emperor of Heaven was startled, and then suddenly realized: That's right, isn't the soul-condensing pearl the treasure that can condense the soul?Its function is to leave a glimmer of life between the heaven and the earth. Since the bead keeper was born because of the soul concentrating bead, his death must also be affected by the concentrating soul bead.

Maybe, the Pearl Keeper didn't lose his soul at all. Since his soul is still there, he might not be able to be reincarnated, or he might not be able to be reborn as a human being.

Thinking of this, the Emperor of Heaven was startled: Could it be that Song Lan is the reincarnation of the Pearl Keeper?

The Emperor of Heaven wanted to ask again, but the Taishang Laojun had disappeared.
