slant [rebirth]

Of course, Xiao Taohua saw the trembling twigs growing under the huge spiritual jade tree that supported it.

The fast-growing peach blossom branches exude a crisp and fragrant smell as if sprouting, and Jiang Rui's nose lingers with a sweet but not greasy breath, which makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

The peach blossom tree next to Jiang Rui looked at the young trunk in front of him that was branching out and seemed to be alive. After a while, he touched his chest in a daze.

It was still so smooth, without any feeling of beating. From there, he couldn't feel that he had a heart at all.

The little branch in front of him... has the same smell as his. Although it is a part of himself, Xiao Taohua has never thought that one day, his heart will be supported by others big.

He silently took two steps forward, not noticing Jiang Rui's somewhat surprised expression.

There is actually another reason why he brought the peach blossom tree here this time.

After this twig started to branch out, the spirit jade tree seemed to come alive suddenly, and it was no longer lifeless as before, but because of this, around the spirit jade tree, there was already a strong knot that Jiang Rui couldn't break In the world, it has gone up to a higher level.

Now about ten steps in front of him, there is a faint barrier emitting blue light. He tried twice before, but he couldn't get any closer. It's not dangerous, but it's like bumping into a layer of sponge. , soft, but just can't get in.

Peach Blossom Tree walked slowly in front, and slowly, it seemed that a faint red light emanated from its body.

From the position of his heart to the branch, it seems to be connected to form an invisible bridge.

Jiang Rui opened his eyes slightly, and actually saw the soft light from the jade tree of the spirit marrow, which covered the entire secret realm softly, and even Miaoxuan who was retreating was startled and was forced to come out of it, and rushed to the come here.

At the same time, Jiang Rui only felt that something was different.

The spirit marrow jade tree was still the same, but in the middle of the tree, a white light circle suddenly appeared, and the light gradually became larger. Afterwards, the red light that was absorbed by the little peach blossom seemed to be contaminated within the scope of the white light, attracting white light. There was a sudden shock, and after Jiang Rui heard the sound of glass breaking, he saw the white light cracked into several pieces, which fell substantially on the grass, and were finally absorbed by the grass crazily.

There is a person inside.

With his eyes closed, his eyes were covered with white cloth strips, he was dressed in green clothes, and he seemed to be one with the entire spiritual jade tree.

The overwhelming enchantment suddenly disappeared, and at this moment, Miaoxuan also rushed to his side.

"My lord?!" Miaoxuan's complexion changed, and a strange shock appeared on the face of the child. He looked at the little peach blossom beside the jade tree, and suddenly seemed to think of something. A happy look appeared, "Congratulations, Venerable!"

The person whom Miaoxuan called the Venerable seems to have come to his senses, and he took a step from the jade tree of spiritual marrow. The white gauze covering his face made him unable to see clearly, but he seemed to be a person who could see , walked straight in the direction of Xiao Taohua.

Peach Blossom Tree stared at him blankly, as if he felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, but a little strange, and did not dare to move at all.

The Venerable walked up to Taohua, tilted his head slightly, his voice was hoarse because he had not spoken for a long time, "Where is my heart?"

Peach Blossom Tree looked at the man's white scarf covering his eyes in confusion, and shook his head in confusion, "I don't know."

He just found his heart today.

"Miaoxuan." The man put his hands behind his back and shifted his gaze to Jiang Rui, "Have you recognized the Lord?"

"Yes," Miaoxuan bowed and said to Jiang Rui, "Master, this is Venerable Spirit Essence."

Jiang Rui looked at the person in front of him indifferently. According to him, he looked like the incarnation of the jade tree of spiritual marrow, but he was not like Miaoxuan. All so powerful.

"Spirit marrow recognizes the Lord." The man transformed from the marrow jade tree didn't say anything else. After saluting, he turned to the peach blossom tree and continued to ask, "What is my heart?"

Peach Blossom Tree's eyes were a little red, and he shook his head, quickly said that he didn't know, and then ran behind Jiang Rui to hide and refused to come out.

Jiang Rui touched his nose and said, "What happened?"

"That's right." Miaoxuan glanced at the soul, and said: "Millions of years ago, the previous master ascended, but for some reason sealed us up in this secret realm and did not take us away. After that, the master's whereabouts all disappeared. The connection between us was completely severed, and after that, the spirit marrow with the closest relationship with the master used... the heart sacrifice to find out the whereabouts of the master." When Miaoxuan said this, he sighed, "This result is naturally a failure. In the following hundreds of years, the spirit marrow has become a heartless spirit. It has sealed itself in the spirit marrow jade tree, and it has been until now."

"It's been so long that I almost forgot the fact that the Venerable is still alive..." Miaoxuan looked complicated, glanced at the peach tree, and said, "Your Excellency, please recall carefully, during the 700 years you have lived, Have you ever seen something like a unicorn heart, or a 700-year-old jade stone?"

Peach Blossom Tree froze for a moment, then looked at Miaoxuan, then at Jiang Rui, and then whispered, "If it's such a jade, I've seen it before."

Lingsui tilted his head slightly, as if looking at the little peach blossom.

Xiao Taohua shrank back, tugged at Jiang Rui's sleeve, and said, "Do you still remember, I told you, that strange thing under the Rong's mansion?"

"Remember." Jiang Rui nodded. In fact, when Xiao Taohua said it, he once had the urge to dig it out and have a look, because at that time, he even thought that piece of jade was an evil thing that would confuse people's hearts.

"Could it be possible to say that?" After thinking about it, Jiang Rui nodded and asked.

Peach Blossom Tree nodded hesitantly, looked at the spirit marrow, and said hesitantly: "But that piece of jade is entangled with my roots..."

Jiang Rui was taken aback for a moment, before he understood what the words meant, only to see Lingsui raised his chin slightly, as if looking at the peach blossom tree again, and then said with a somewhat satisfied look: "Take me there. "

Why did he look so much like the way Rong Jingtang looked at him just now?

It feels like you are so weak that I have to take you since I took over... Jiang Rui licked his mouth, always feeling that something was wrong.

The spirit marrow followed the little peach blossom tree to the outside of the secret realm, but Jiang Rui still stayed in the secret realm. He had something to ask Miaoxuan.

He told him about the time he involuntarily blocked Wei Ruize's gun at school, and focused on the fact that he could not control his actions.

Miaoxuan hesitated slightly, and said, "It seems to be because of the butterfly effect you caused."

Jiang Rui sat in front of him and listened quietly. Miaoxuan made a cup of tea and took a sip. The sweetness of the nectar and the warmth of the tea poured down into his stomach, giving him a different sense of comfort.

"The cause of your death in the last life was the chaos caused by the appearance of Jia Sha, a person who is not included in the rules of heaven and earth. Therefore, there is also me, an artifact spirit who should not appear in this rule, to reverse the entire time and space. You are resurrected, but because of this, everyone whose facts have been changed will have a slight deviation in their future destiny trajectory."

Jiang Rui was originally smart, and when Miaoxuan said this, he realized it all at once, but then he was a little puzzled and said, "But in this way, won't the butterfly effect cause turmoil in the whole world?"

Even if the death of a homeless man did not follow the rules set by this world, then if the place where the homeless man died happened to be in the wilderness, and at this moment, he was being taken away by a hungry tiger and fed to its child , then, maybe this ethnic group has reached the peak because of such a full meal, and it is the same, the series of changes that have been triggered since then are immeasurable.

"Therefore, there must be a focus on this matter." Miaoxuan said such a sentence in a godlike manner.

"I know that since you were reborn, what you have been thinking about is that you want those who have hurt you to suffer the guilt they deserve, but..." Miaoxuan put down the teacup in his hand, sighed, and said, "Master, stand still!" In the same situation, I don't want you to commit crimes."

Miaoxuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky in the secret realm. It was still blue and white and cloudless. Then he felt relieved and continued: "This rule is fair. The cause of your death in your last life and all your encounters can be determined by the rules. In other words, I was used as a price in exchange for your rebirth, so if you now meddle in the life and death of others, if he should not die but dies early because of you, then in the karma book, you will have more It was a murder."

Jiang Rui remained silent, but he couldn't accept Miaoxuan's remarks in his heart.

Of course, he understands all these principles, but now when Miaoxuan says this, there will always be a feeling of unreality, as if what he has always insisted on is like a joke.

"You have already seen through it yourself, but why do you still insist on looking for that so-called revenge?" Miaoxuan finally said, and put the teacup that had been drunk on the table.

Jiang Rui's eyes were vaguely placed on the cup of hot tea in front of him, and he didn't recover for a long time.

After a long while, he smiled abruptly and covered his face, "Why can't I figure it out, can't get out, and get to the bottom of it, it's just a knot in my heart that I can't get over."

People are often like this. In countless pasts, there may be a certain moment when they are the same. I feel that the person I hate is like an ant. When I can’t see it, I feel that I don’t care anymore.

Jiang Rui sighed and said, "This is human."

Miaoxuan blinked and said slowly, "But your heart hasn't moved."

The secret realm and Jiang Rui are inseparable. If there is any difference in Jiang Rui, Miaoxuan, who is the owner of the secret realm, will definitely be able to perceive it. But when Jiang Rui faced Wang Chenghui and even Ye Wenbin in the hospital, even It's how fake the smile on his face is, but his heartbeat can't fool anyone.

Jiang Rui was taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "Why should I beat faster for the two of them?"

It happened before, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that it was the time when I was just reborn. When I think of Wang Chenghui, the deep hatred makes him tremble slightly.

Jiang Rui sighed suddenly, shook his head, raised his forehead and said, "I managed to get in by myself. Miaoxuan, I have to thank you..."

Jiang Rui frowned, and patted his heart lightly with one hand, it was still beating so calmly, it seemed that there was no time to beat too fast except when facing Rong Jingtang.

When Jiang Rui took Miaoxuan out of the secret realm together, what he saw was Xiao Taohua who was digging the soil with a shovel.

Looking pitiful, while digging under the machine, he looked pitifully at Lingsui and Rong Jingtang, who was obviously watching a good show.

There are also Jia Shi and Rong Anchen who go and come back, not knowing what they want to do.

The corner of Jiang Rui's mouth twitched slightly, took two steps forward, and said, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Taohua was aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law. Seeing Jiang Rui, she immediately threw away the shovel and began to complain, "They want me to dig out that piece of jade..."

"Then you really dug it?" Jiang Rui's eyes twitched slightly, seeing Taohua nodding obediently, he deeply felt how the child grew up to such a big size and was not struck dead by lightning.

He sighed and said amusedly, "Stand aside."

Taohua obediently jumped to Miaoxuan's side, and handed him a peach blossom seed. Miaoxuan sniffed it twice and stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.

After Jiang Rui made his move over there, the ground began to vibrate slightly, and then, Taohua cooperated with his own roots to break open the solid soil little by little, protecting a thing in the middle of the wooden box and breaking through the ground all the way. , After putting the things on the ground, he slowly returned to the ground with Jiang Rui's help.

I don't feel anything at a depth of 700 meters. It's just that the aura in Rong Zhai is very rich. After feeding three souls, it also supports the growth of Peach Blossom, a fairy that has been absorbed for more than [-] years. At this moment, it is still emitting With a faint aura.

Before Jiang Rui stepped forward, the thing sealed in the box trembled slightly. Then, the box burst open suddenly, and a cyan object flew out of it, hanging in mid-air.

That is a piece of jade.

A piece of jade carved with a dragon's head.

Jiang Rui is no stranger to the appearance of jade. In fact, he has seen the appearance of that piece of jade in countless books since the first day he started learning how to carve jade.

That is Yuxi.

Jiang Rui could even imagine that the four characters neatly engraved under that piece of jade must be ordered by heaven.

I don't know what happened to the heart of the spirit marrow. During these millions of years, in the world, it has become a jade seal handed down from generation to generation.

But in this way, Jiang Rui has another question. It is impossible that the jade seal has been lost in the middle of the China that has been passed down for so many years. Then, why can it be passed down to the present, and it is buried in the Rong family mansion? next.

"If you want the aura of Qilin's heart to last, you need to have the dragon, phoenix and auspicious aura to reconcile each other. At the very least, you must also have the aura of ancient beasts like Bai Ze and Jiuwei to assist, otherwise, the Qilin's heart will also become filthy. The things that belonged to me have since dissipated." Miaoxuan explained to Jiang Rui, but slowly walked towards the soul, "Honorable One, since you have your heart, do you want to retreat?"

Lingsui shook his head as a promise, reached out and brushed off the outer shell carved with dragons, and took out the dazzling brilliance inside, like a piece of heart-shaped jade.

He didn't know the reason, so he gave the dragon ornament with only the shell on the outside to Xiao Taohua.

Xiao Taohua was stunned for a moment, then quickly took it, and heard a word from the direction where Lingsui was standing, saying, "Come with me."

Then, Xiao Taohua was taken away by him.

Jiang Rui coughed dryly and suddenly remembered something.

He pulled aside Miaoxuan who wanted to grab a few peaches to eat in a dark and strange way, and said, "Miaoxuan, since the jade tree with the marrow has spirit, then... when I took the marrow fluid..."

Miaoxuan froze for a moment, opened his mouth wide, looked at Jiang Rui, swallowed his saliva after a while, and cold sweat seemed to be dripping from his temples.

Jiang Rui's mood is...not in the mood.

He looked at Miaoxuan blankly and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. While he was still waiting, Miaoxuan suddenly smeared oil on his feet and slipped away, leaving Jiang Rui with the last sentence, saying: "Master, don't worry too much." Worrying, since Venerable Spirit Essence has recognized the master, he must be ignoring the past, and in the future, if the master needs it, he will offer the marrow fluid."

Played by Miaoxuan?

Jiang Rui gritted his teeth, looked at the ground where Miaoxuan disappeared, and snorted, then turned around and looked at Rong Jingtang, who had been watching the good show for a long, long time.

Jiang Rui smacked his mouth, looked at Rong Anchen and Jia Shi who were planning to go home after the play... silently rolled his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Rui walked to Rong Jingtang and took a big mouthful of tea to suppress his shock.

There seemed to be no image at all in front of Rong Jingtang.

In the beginning, it was for the sake of pretending to be coercive, pretending to be coercive everywhere, but in front of Rong Jingtang...

Jiang Rui calculated how long it would be before he could pick his feet in front of him.

Rong Jingtang stood up, picked up the bell on the table and rang it twice, Uncle Cheng who was waiting outside came in immediately, and tidied away the tea neatly.

Jiang Rui followed behind him, watching Rong Jingtang walk into the hall again, facing the table of food, he really felt dumbfounded.

Rong Jingtang sat Shiran in the main seat, not at all embarrassed, waiting for Jiang Rui to give him some fish to eat, while Uncle Cheng, who was waiting on him, had forcibly thrown the idea of ​​'Master does not eat xx' into the toilet, Facing young master Jiang, these things that he doesn't eat and don't like have become the young master's favorite.

Oh, love.

Uncle Cheng shrugged slightly, deeply feeling that he was really old.
