Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 867

[Chapter 835: The spiritual butterfly falls and flows into the flowers, and the flying rainbow and jade snow illuminate Taixuan]

When Yu’er left the room, Jiang Jiyue lowered her head slightly and looked at the rippling water in the basin below her body, which reflected her somewhat pale face.

“What is that…”

Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly and he looked towards his shoulder.

But at the next moment, the satin shoes under his feet accidentally kicked the basin while moving. The water rippled and the reflection in the basin was instantly shattered and was no longer visible.

Shaking her head vigorously, Jiang Jiyue simply said that she had not slept well last night, so she calmed herself down and stopped thinking about it. Instead, she washed up briefly, changed her clothes, and walked out of the attic.

“Princess, the Third Emperor is waiting for you to come and have dinner at the Jade Banquet Palace.”

Yu’er stood outside the attic with a smile on his face.

Jiang Jiyue frowned, tightened her grip on the jade jue in her hand, and said, “I have to go out and tell the Third Emperor so that he doesn’t have to wait.” Yu’er was startled for a moment and said, “Then I’ll go right away

. Arrange a guard for the princess.”

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said: “With Granny Tree’s protection, what’s the use of those guards with wine bags and rice bags? I’ll just go.” After saying this, she directly moved toward the shadow outside the attic

. He waved and then walked straight to the courtyard gate.

An old woman in gray robe walked out of the shadows and followed Jiang Jiyue without saying a word. Her movements were extremely quiet.

Yu’er was speechless and could only turn around and walk quickly in the direction of Yuyan Palace.

“Miss, are you going to Qiyun Trading Company?”

Under the gray robe, the old woman’s hoarse voice came into her ears.

Jiang Jiyue did not look back, but nodded slightly and said, “Now that I have reached the age of sixteen, it is time to take out my mother’s relics.”

Granny Shu is Granny Liu’s sister. After Granny Liu died of illness, Granny Shu took care of Jiang Jiyue when she was growing up, so Jiang Jiyue did not shy away from her.

“Sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Miss Shu has grown up,” Granny Shu sighed, with a somewhat complicated tone, “My two sisters originally served Madam together, if I hadn’t gone to Xianqi Ying If I practice martial arts on the flower burial platform at the edge of the valley, maybe my wife will not die, and the young lady will not suffer those years.”

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said: “The memory of my childhood has been blurred. It has been so long, my mother-in-law does not have to Don’t blame yourself anymore.”

Granny Shu followed Jiang Jiyue out of the door. She looked around with a somewhat solemn expression and said, “Miss, there are two guards following me secretly. You hold on to my sleeves and I will lead you to shake them off. They.”

As her gray robe swayed, Grandma Shu grabbed Jiang Jiyue’s delicate white wrist and disappeared into the Lianmian Tower in a few leaps.

After a moment, two powerful warriors appeared, looked at each other, and stood there looking at each other.

“Grandma Shu, do you know what my mother left behind?”

Jiang Jiyue said in a low voice, feeling a little upset.

Grandma Shu took Jiang Jiyue and jumped between the eaves of the pavilion and said: “This is a secret that must not be known to others. Miss, although I have a vague idea of what it is, I will wait until you get it. Let me tell you in detail.”

Jiang Jiyue nodded and said no more.

Yungu Imperial City, Changzhao Street, Qiyun Trading Company.

“Please wait a moment, both of you. This jade jue is a token of the highest standard. I need to go and confirm and compare it.”

In the luxurious pavilion, Jiang Jiyue and Grandma Shu sat in front of the wooden case. There was good tea on the table, and the person speaking across from him was a business executive in a silk robe.

Jiang Jiyue glanced at the head of the trading company and said, “Thank you for your work.”

The head of the trading company smiled and said, “It’s just a duty to perform, no pain or hard work.”

After saying this, he ordered the servants beside him to serve exquisite pastries one after another, and he turned around and entered the back hall holding the piece of jade.

Qiyun Trading Company is very large, and the palace here is just one of its sixteen branches in Yungu Imperial City. There are seven directors of the trading company like just now in this Changzhao Street branch. many.

After about half a minute of incense burning, the head of the business came out carrying a tray, covered with silk cloth, which looked like a square wooden box.

“I’ve kept you two distinguished guests waiting.”

The manager of the business bank carefully placed the tray on the wooden case. The waiter behind him took out several yellowed bills and said, “Sir, the deeds are all here. .”

The head of the trading bank took the bills, looked at them carefully, and then handed them to Jiang Jiyue and said with a smile: “Miss, the money for depositing the items has been paid in advance. Today, the items are returned to their original owners, and they are already money. It’s over twice.”

Jiang Jiyue didn’t pay attention to the bills, but opened the silk cloth on the tray and looked steadily at the wooden box.

The head of the trading company winked at the waiter behind him, waved his hand, and in just a few breaths, they exited the attic one after another. Only Granny Shu and Jiang Jiyue were left before the wooden case.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Jiyue’s brows furrowed slightly as she stretched out her hands to hold the wooden box.

Grandma Shu noticed something was wrong with Jiang Jiyue’s expression and asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Jiyue didn’t speak, but opened the ancient wooden box that had been sealed for more than ten years.

Squeak.

As the wooden box opened, the dust between the cracks flew away, but Jiang Jiyue didn’t care at all. She just stared at the wooden box with an expression that seemed to indicate disbelief.

Grandma Shu came over, took a quick look, her pupils shrank, and she exclaimed: “How is this possible!”

The opened wooden box was actually empty, with nothing at all!

As if hearing the sound here, the head of the trading company quickly walked into the attic and looked over: “Two distinguished guests, what’s wrong?”

Grandma Shu looked gloomy, pointed to the empty wooden box, and said: “I’ve always heard that Qiyun Trading Company is spread all over the Imperial City and is the best in Sakura Valley. Why does it do such things?!” The

head of the trading bank was full of surprise and said: “I’m afraid your guest has misunderstood. The rules of our Changzhao branch are extremely strict. Harsh, I will not tamper with anything belonging to the guest.”

After saying this, he reached out to take the wooden box and pointed to the seal mark on its periphery. The seal here. What’s more, if someone really steals it, not to mention whether it will be noticed by the Qiyun Warrior who patrols day and night, just saying that the dust falling in the cracks will not be formed in ten or eight years. “

Grandma Shu wanted to say something more, but Jiang Jiyue stood up, waved her hand to stop Grandma Shu, and said: “Grandma Shu, forget it.”

“But, miss…”

Jiang Jiyue shook her head and said, “I have already thought about it. This matter is not the fault of the merchant.”

Grandma Shu sighed, put the empty wooden box into her sleeves, and said no more.

Jiang Jiyue raised her hands towards the head of the trading company and said, “My mother-in-law was a little anxious just now, please forgive me.” The head of the trading company glanced at the gauze on

Jiang Jiyue’s face, waved her hand and said with a smile, “Although the lady is covered with gauze, she is still knowledgeable and sensible. , with extraordinary magnanimity in every gesture. We understand the mood of the two distinguished guests very well, but please believe me, Qiyun Trading Company is determined not to commit theft. If there is anything you need help with, just ask. Yes.”

Jiang Jiyue looked a little lonely and said, “It’s a troublesome thing, so I won’t use it for now. Grandma Shu, let’s go.” After

saying this, she turned around and walked out of the attic.

Granny Shu cast a sidelong glance at the head of the trading firm and quickly followed him.

“Grandma Shu, tell me the truth. What was originally in that box?”

Jiang Jiyue stopped in a remote and uninhabited place and spoke softly to the old woman in gray robe.

Grandma Shu was silent for a moment, with a somewhat gloomy look on her face, and said: “Since Miss has reached the age of sixteen, I will no longer hide it from you. As far as I know, the box was originally a pair of strange wings connected with fascia and flesh. “

Jiang Jiyue looked confused, obviously not understanding what he said, and said, “What does that mean?”

Grandma Shu sighed and said, “I wasn’t here at the time, but I just heard from my sister that you…”

Hearing her After a pause, Jiang Jiyue subconsciously felt a little frightened, and her soul trembled, and she said: “What happened to me?”

Grandma Shu looked sideways at Jiang Jiyue, lowered her voice, and said slowly: “You were born to be different from others. Monster, these pair of bone wings hidden in the box were torn off by my wife herself from your back bones, so that you could grow up in the Third Emperor’s house without attracting anyone’s attention.”

After hearing these words, Jiang Jiyue couldn’t help but feel a little dazed, standing quietly on the spot, looking down at her hands.

“I…I’m a demon?”

Jiang Jiyue’s face became paler as she murmured softly.

“Miss, what’s wrong with you?”

Granny Shu stepped forward quickly and supported the weak Jiang Jiyue, her eyes full of worry.
