A small gold-inlaid jade ornant, just a few milliters in size, if this enormous jade bed were dismantled, even if it couldn’t make ten thousand gold-inlaid jades, it could certainly make eight hundred, right?
As she said this, the expression on Gu Changsheng’s face suddenly froze, and she exclaid, "Ah! No! Shi Wujue, what on earth do you an? This jade bed is covered with the gold of a gold-inlaid jade, but where is the true jade? What kind of treasure requires such precious warm jade for preservation?"
With that, Gu Changsheng lunged onto the bed, though her movents were much gentler than usual, for her body was weak now.
Lying on the jade bed, Gu Changsheng yanked off the mattress and brocade quilts, tapping here and there on the jade bed, searching for anything unusual!
No mistake!
Shi Wujue’s words had hidden anings; this warm jade bed undoubtedly had other mysteries!
There must be a treasure hidden!
She, Gu Changsheng, loved treasures most, and her intuition told her that any treasure that could be so well-hidden by this jade bed must be of imnse value!
"You’re not too stupid... heh heh..." Shi Wujue watched Gu Changsheng’s actions, chuckled low, and turned around, lifting the koala-like Gu Changsheng who was peering under the bed, a mischievous smile on his face as he helplessly said, "Stop wasting your effort. If it were so easy for you to find, it would’ve been discovered long ago..."
With that, Shi Wujue pulled Gu Changsheng to the side of the bed, then moved to the head of the bed. His long white hair hung down, half-concealing his stunning face, making him even more enchanting under the glow of the warm jade. Even Gu Changsheng found herself slightly dazzled by the sight!
But soon, Gu Changsheng’s attention was caught by Shi Wujue’s actions.
She saw Shi Wujue simply reach out, tapping lightly on the headboard of the white jade bed. A red light flashed from his fingertips and then vanished, rging into the white jade bed. What happened next left Gu Changsheng utterly stunned...
"Snap!"
A crisp sound was heard.
The bed head, originally seamless and complete in its jade quality, suddenly ejected a jade grid. In the middle of the grid, the jade qi was sowhat hazy!
Seeing this, Gu Changsheng was quite surprised.
This...
So shallowly hidden! Yet so deeply!
This jade grid was hidden right on the headboard, easily visible to anyone entering the inner palace. However, Gu Changsheng had clearly seen Shi Wujue’s actions. When he opened this jade grid, a red glow flashed on his fingertip, and if she wasn’t mistaken, it was blood!
Using human blood as the key chanism to open it—truly an anti-theft marvel!
Of course, if soone discovers the hiding place due to inferior skills and is forced to bleed, that’s another story!
However, as Gu Changsheng understood Shi Wujue, although she hadn’t seen him take action, his seemingly effortless movents could change the entire situation, just like in the battle at Secluded Valley, where, with a re wave, the snow wolf ford by Fufeng Tianlan was sent flying without any resistance. So simple and violent, it was almost unbearable to watch, unfathomably deep. To subdue him and force him to bleed would be genuinely challenging!
"This is..."
Gu Changsheng blinked her large phoenix eyes as she looked at the box Shi Wujue took from the jade grid.
The box was so simple and ancient-looking!
Just lying in Shi Wujue’s palm, square and deep brown, engraved with sweet osmanthus flowers that seed alive, as if its fragrance wafted through the air. However, with her keen eyes, Gu Changsheng couldn’t identify the material of the box!
This box alone carried an overwhelming sense of historical weight, much like the fragrance of the sweet osmanthus, as if it had accumulated countless years, long and unbroken...
It seed as if Shi Wujue hadn’t heard Gu Changsheng’s words, his long lashes slightly lowered, watching the box in his palm. He gently placed his hand over the sweet osmanthus flowers carved on the box, and spoke almost in a whisper, "Beauty, do you know why this Heaven Deceiving Hall can obscure the heavenly mysteries?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng nodded blankly, "Shi Wei once told when he took to Ten Miles Peach Grove!"
However, at this mont, Gu Changsheng no longer believed things were as simple as Shi Wei had said!
Can forming a gathering formation with a city really deceive the heavenly secrets?
Gu Changsheng wasn’t as versed in mysticism as her father, and wasn’t certain, so she quietly watched Shi Wujue, watching the box in his palm, eagerly waiting for what was next...
Sure enough, Shi Wujue didn’t make her wait long. After being lost in thought while looking at the box in his hand, he finally spoke in a deep voice, "That’s right, the entire Linyuan City is an Evil Gathering Formation, and this Heaven Deceiving Hall is its array’s eye! For countless years, our Linyuan City has been a sacred land in the eyes of the most wicked and evil people, an unrivaled choice for those seeking to escape. The malice they bring is what sustains the Heaven Deceiving Hall..."
Slightly hesitating, Shi Wujue continued, "Malice soaring to the heavens, even the heavens disdain and abandon it—that’s the key to how the Heaven Deceiving Hall can deceive heavenly mysteries. But the world forgets that with malice stretched to the heavens, not even the heavens can tolerate it, so how can humans? The malice gathered by the Heaven Deceiving Hall, accumulating over the years, can destroy countless cities and lives, let alone Linyuan City?"
As Shi Wujue’s words fell, Gu Changsheng was imdiately shocked!
To be honest, regarding formations, she really didn’t have any family teachings, practically a half-wit!
Yet, from Shi Wujue’s words, Gu Changsheng perceived an underlying mystery, leaving her feeling uneasy and uncertain while in the Heaven Deceiving Hall...
