I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Several people stopped at the same time and looked back, only then did Ji Qinglin realize that there was a servant behind them ten steps away.

He looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sickly and thin appearance. At this time, there were dozens of books scattered at his feet, and he was holding a stack in his hand, squatting down to pick them up in a hurry.

"Look at it, look at it," Yinluo gave Chi Ruogu a disgusted look, and walked towards the boy while chattering, "I asked you to bring so many ledgers, and now I'm so tired that they can't even move them stably. Do you mind?"

Arriving in front of the boy, Yin Luo was just about to squat down to help him pick it up, but he got up hurriedly as if he was frightened and took a step back, saying incessantly: "No, you don't need to help, I, I'll just pick it up by myself. "

"Why? Are you afraid that I will peek at your account book? Tch."

Yin Luo gave him a white look, and still squatted down to pick up the ledgers and pile them up, then lifted them up and piled them on top of the pile in the servant's hand.

Just as she withdrew her hand, she suddenly paused, frowning unobtrusively and glanced at the boy, but she turned around and walked back to the original place without saying anything.

The few people didn't stay any longer, turned their heads and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, Yin Luo couldn't help poking Chi Ruogu with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hey, next time you bring someone, you can take him with you. Can you change to a more masculine one? How much rouge and gouache did he put on his body? This fragrance is so fragrant that it is almost as good as a famous brothel."

Hearing this, Shi Buyu on the side suddenly raised his hand and quickly signed a series of sign language.

"Every time...is...like this?" Yin Luo translated while watching, frowned and glanced back at the boy after reading it, then turned to Chi Ruogu and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you, fellow, are against the ancestor Do you have any unreasonable thoughts? It’s just to accompany you to report a job, and every time you put on makeup, wash, bathe and burn incense?”

Shi Buyu raised an eyebrow when he heard the words, as if he didn't understand why Yin Luo had such a strange conjecture, but Huo Jue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "It's not the same person."

"Huh?" Yin Luo didn't expect him to interrupt suddenly, so he was taken aback before asking, "Why isn't it the same person?"

Huo Jue ignored her, but looked at Chi Ruogu and said, "Why do you bring different people every time?"

Only then did Yinluo realize that what he meant was that Chi Ruogu brought different people each time, but after understanding it, he felt that there was something wrong with it, so he stood with his hands on his hips and squinted his eyes and said, "Huh? It's not the same person every time, and it still smells good." Nostrils? Are you here to report on your work or to present treasures?"

After that, she turned her head and cast a sideways glance at the boy and continued: "Besides, your eyesight is too bad, isn't it? Even if you don't like women first, his looks are not enough! Even the elder brother Hair is better than..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Yin Luo was stunned for a moment as if he had been hit by an acupuncture point, and then closed his mouth resentfully.

Not only her, but the reactions of the other three people were also very strange. Shi Buyu lowered his eyes to look at the ground with a slightly dejected look, Chi Ruogu pursed his lips and sighed softly, while Huo Jue turned his head away in silence .

Judging from this reaction, these people obviously thought of something unpleasant because of the words "Brother Tai Shi", but they could imagine that Ji Qinglin, who was watching the memories, was at a loss.

Senior brother?Who is this?

When did there become another grand master among these people?Why did Yinluo call him "brother"?

And... what does she mean by "Even if you respect women first and don't like women"?

After Yinluo made such a fuss, the topic just now was completely covered, and several people were silent in a very tacit understanding, as if no one wanted to speak again.

After walking silently for a while, they finally reached the end of the canyon.

After stepping out of the canyon, the field of vision immediately opened up. There was a sparse forest in front of it, surrounded by a circle of low bushes. Beyond the bushes was a long and narrow beach, and on the other side of the beach was the vast and boundless sea.

Not far away in the forest were four carriages parked side by side. Several coachmen had gathered together to chat, but when they saw several people coming out, they all returned to their own carriages.

It was only then that Ji Qinglin realized that they were not on their way back to the valley, but had already left the valley after their work report.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, the timing was really unfortunate, if he could have been a little earlier, maybe he could have seen the true face of Four Seasons Valley.

Several people walked into the forest, and after saying goodbye briefly, they got into the car.

After the carriage moved slowly, Ji Qinglin carefully recalled what happened just now in the swaying silent carriage, thinking about it, he was suddenly startled.

Leaving aside Yin Luo's obviously out-of-the-ordinary wild thoughts, the sign language that Cai Shi did not speak and the words that Huo Jue said were actually very worthy of scrutiny.

The combination of the two's meanings reveals a very strange message - every time Chi Ruogu returns to the valley to report on his duties, he will bring a person full of fragrance to help him, and the person he brings is different every time.

If this matter is looked at normally, there can be countless reasonable explanations. For example, Chi Ruogu prefers people with fragrance, so his subordinates use this to cater to their preferences. He will always bring different subordinates out for training.

However, after adding the premise of "monthly debriefing" to this matter, Ji Qinglin immediately became vigilant, because this time point was so special that it almost instantly reminded him of another thing - the flickering of the jade pendant .

Xie Wuyi once said that the jade pendant used to flicker every other month, and each flickering time happened to be around the day of the monthly report.

Since Ji Qinglin and Xie Wuyi got acquainted until now, the jade pendant has flashed three times in total, at the water pavilion in Lingfang Garden, at the old man's house in Qidi and on the way to Nanshan.

The interval between these three flashes is not a month, but the same thing is that there are soul-sealed people around when the flashes appear.

It can be inferred from this that "one month apart" is not the prerequisite for the jade pendant to flash, but "there are soul sealers around" is.

Then, why did the jade pendant flash once a month in the past?Is it also because there are soul-sealed people around?

Who is this soul-sealed person?

The answer is about to come out.

According to this answer, Chi Ruogu's strange behavior can be explained.

Why is it that every time he brings his subordinates, the fragrance is so strong?

Because after the soul is sealed, the body will emit rancidity, and only a strong fragrance can cover up the rancidity.

Why does he bring in different people each month?

Because with the intensification of body decay caused by the art of sealing the soul, not only the rotten body of the soul-sealed person will intensify, but also the gradually stiff limbs and dark and wrinkled skin will be exposed. With a little bit of loss, it is impossible to pretend to be an ordinary person all the time.

Thinking of this, Ji Qinglin stopped speculating, because he suddenly found that even though he had found explanations for all doubts, he still couldn't come up with an answer to one question - what is Chi Ruogu's purpose?

Why did he go to great lengths to take a soul sealer to Four Seasons Valley every month?Is it just to make the jade pendant flash?How does it benefit him?

Ji Qinglin couldn't help being a little depressed, if he could use Huo Jue's body at this time, he really wanted to use his mouth to remind him to check Chi Ruogu.

But he also knew that the reason why he was able to see the clues based on these details was because he had previously learned about the conditions for the jade pendant to flash and the existence of the Soul Sealing Technique, but at this time Huo Jue and the others knew nothing about it Well, perhaps in their eyes, these seemingly unreasonable actions of Chi Ruogu are just some insignificant eccentricities, not even strange.

Now it seems that they are planning to go back to their respective homes, and Ji Qinglin doesn't expect to find any more clues, so he simply concentrates like last time, and breaks away from this memory bit by bit.

The scene was blurred, the sound was fading away, everything was the same as last time, when Ji Qinglin returned to the outside of the "picture scroll", the "scroll" really started to slide slowly again.

However, it just slid for a moment, when another huge suction hit, Ji Qinglin was caught off guard, and was pulled back into the "picture scroll" again in the blink of an eye.

While enduring the intense dizziness, he was shocked at the same time.

what happened?

Where does this suction come from?Why was it dragged into memory by it forcibly twice?

Could it be that the memory does not allow him to stand outside the "scroll" to choose the time to enter the memory, and he has to stay in the memory all the time?

But if things go on like this, how long will it take to see Huo Jue's memory to the end?

Ji Qinglin was worried, thinking that if it happened again next time, he could only learn how to forcibly quit the time Zhong Zangchan remembered.

The dizziness gradually disappeared, Ji Qinglin tried to look at the scene in front of him, but it was pitch black without even a blurred outline.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a hand put on his arm and shook, and a deep and urgent voice came from his ears: "Master, master!"

As Huo Jue opened his eyes, Ji Qinglin realized that Huo Jue was lying on the couch with the roof beams above him, and the darkness just now was because he was sleeping lightly with his eyes closed.

However, even now that Huo Jue opened his eyes, what Ji Qinglin saw was not clear, because it was night and the room was not lit.

"What's wrong?" Huo Jue sat up and asked with his slightly hoarse voice when he first woke up.

As he got up, Ji Qinglin could barely see the appearance of the room through the moonlight from the window. It was not a big room, except for the bed that Huo Jue slept on and a small bed by the window. Besides, there are only a few wooden boxes stacked in the corner, which look very simple.

The person who woke up Huo Jue was squatting in front of him at this moment. He was an ordinary young man with nothing special in appearance and clothes, but from the way he called Huo Jue just now, it can be roughly inferred that he should be a member of the Jingjue family. people.

"There is movement."

The man said seriously in a low voice, as if he had discovered some terrible secret.

When Huo Jue heard this, he immediately got up and walked around him to the window, when his eyes turned out of the window, Ji Qinglin was suddenly startled.

This room is on the second floor on one side of a street, and on the other side of the street is a garden. On the plaque hanging on the lintel of the main entrance, there are three big characters—Lingfang Garden.

Huo Jue was spying on Lingfangyuan?

Could it be...he has discovered Chi Ruogu's abnormality?

Ji Qinglin couldn't help feeling excited.

At this time, there was no movement near the main entrance of Lingfang Garden, but in the alley on the side of the garden in the distance, there was a person dragging a cart out of the darkness, turning a corner and walking towards the main entrance.

After he gradually approached, Ji Qinglin vaguely saw his figure and appearance and his purple clothes through the moonlight. As expected, it was Chi Ruogu from the previous memory.

In other words, the time of this memory is not too far from the previous period, because Chi Ruogu's appearance has not changed, at least it shows that he in these two memories is in the same life.

Ji Qinglin thought about it too, after all, when he was pulled in by that suction force, the "scroll" hadn't had time to slide much in the future, maybe the interval between these two memories was only a few days or even hours.

Chi Ruogu stopped before the main entrance, parked the cart under the steps, then turned around and walked towards the alley where he came.

Ji Qinglin couldn't help being a little dazed, he didn't quite understand what Chi Ruogu was doing.

However, Huo Jue was extremely patient, his eyes fixed on Chi Ruogu's figure until it disappeared, and then he looked at the cart parked in front of the main entrance.

There is nothing on the cart, and there is nothing special about the cart itself. If you insist on evaluating it, you can only say that it looks solid.

Not long after, there was a faint sound from the gate of Lingfang Garden, and Huo Jue looked intently, and saw that Chi Ruogu had already leaned out from the opened gap.

Only then did Ji Qinglin realize that the alley was where the side entrance of Lingfang Garden was located, and it would be inconvenient for a cart to go down the steps when getting out of the main entrance, so he pulled it out from the side entrance and walked around to the front entrance.

Chi Ruogu leaned out and looked left and right first. After making sure that there was no one around, he turned around and bent down to drag something out from the door.
