Chapter 542： :Nine-turn soul-inducing lamp

Even if she hadn't said it, Gu Kai wouldn't have publicized it everywhere. Otherwise, what if his father asked him to hand over his tips?

However, he and his little aunt had only known each other for a day, and she gave him such a generous meeting gift. It would definitely be the same as the second and sixth brothers.

His guess was right. Shen Yizhi gave Gu Heng and Gu Wei very generous gifts, and the other princesses and princes were also generous.

Only the crown prince and the sixth princess, Gu Yi, received one East Pearl.

Hmph, who told them to offend her? She's just so vindictive.

For those who are kind to her, she will not feel bad no matter how much she gives them, but for those who are not good to her, she will feel a loss even if she only gives a Dongzhu.

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining the appearance of plastic family ties, she wouldn't bother to give it.

After coming out of the Queen Mother's Palace, Gu Xueting did not take Shen Yizhi out of the palace, but took her all the way to a palace that looked a little dilapidated.

—Mingyue Palace.

Seeing this name, Shen Yizhi guessed why Gu Xueting brought her here.

This palace should be where his mother lived back then, right?

"My mother has something for you." Gu Xueting pushed open the mottled red door and led her inside.

Shen Yizhi was surprised: "Give it to me?"

Gu Xueting curled his lips: "My mother's original words were - Ting'er, when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, help me give this to her, I hope she likes it. Now, isn't my daughter-in-law you?"

I see.

Shen Yizhi couldn't help but look forward to it. Gu Xueting's mother, no, what gift did her mother-in-law prepare for her?

Gu Xueting led her through the overgrown front yard and dusty front hall to the backyard.

There is a plane tree growing here. Palm-sized dead leaves are spread on the ground layer after layer. The ones underneath are rotten and will sink slightly when you step on them.

Arriving under the tree, Gu Xueting recalled where he had buried such a thing, took out a shovel, and started digging.

Shen Yizhi also wanted to help, but he stopped him: "I'll just come. I didn't bury it deeply back then, so it will be fine soon."

Sure enough, after a few shovels were dug down, they hit a hard object when digging further.

Gu Xueting squatted down and picked up the things.

It was a small box, and when I picked it up, a smell of earthy smell hit my face.

Shen Yizhi helped Gu Xueting clean the box.

To her surprise, it was a wooden box, still in the color of solid wood, but it sounded like gold and iron when knocked on it.

It depicts a cat, a tree, and a few leaves. The strokes are childish and clumsy, as if they were made by a child.

And what Gu Xueting said next also verified her guess.

He stroked the painting on the box and said, "When I was five years old, I secretly carved this with my mother's eyebrow pencil. When my mother found out, she beat me up."

Shen Yizhi chuckled. She finally understood where Qing Bao's naughty energy came from. He inherited his affection from his biological father.

Gu Xueting opened the box. There were mostly children's toys inside, and one of them, a piggy-shaped piggy bank, caught her attention.

No way, she is so lucky? Another artifact was delivered to her on his own initiative?

That’s right, this piggy bank is an artifact in her perception!

Is it because there are too many artifacts these days, or is she too favored by artifacts?

“Is this piggy bank a gift from your mother?” Shen Yizhi asked.

Gu Xueting was slightly stunned and scratched her nose with his finger, "How could it be? How could my mother give you an ordinary piggy bank?"

Shen Yizhi lay on his back from behind and leaned against his face: "This piggy bank is not ordinary at all! It is a divine instrument."

“Artifact?”

"Uh-huh."

Gu Xueting smiled and realized that she was talking about this very seriously. He quickly stopped laughing and said, "I picked this up from the cold palace when I was a child."

What kind of luck is he, he can pick up an artifact from the cold palace.

Shen Yi Zhimo.

She kissed his ear and said, "I want this piggy bank."

Gu Xueting was silent.

Shen Yizhi thought that he was unwilling to give it, and besides being a little disappointed, she felt more regretful. This was a piggy bank that carried his childhood memories. How could she speak?

Sigh, it’s all her fault for being carried away by the artifact.

As a result, the next moment she was spinning around, being pushed against the trunk of a tree by Gu Xueting, and then she was drowned in his overwhelming kisses.

After a long time, Gu Xueting separated his lips from hers and smiled rustlingly in her ear, "What's mine is yours. If you want it, you don't have to ask, just take it."

Ouch! This is so foul!

But it is undeniable that after hearing this, Shen Yizhi felt a gurgling honey flow in his heart.

“In order to reward our Highness, King Chen, for being so enlightened, I agreed to the request you made before.”

"What do you want-" Gu Xueting came to his senses mid-sentence, looking at her with bright eyes, eager to receive the reward now.

Shen Yizhi felt weak at the sight of him, and reached out to cover his eyes, "You haven't told me yet, what gift is she going to give me?"

Gu Xueting pulled her hand down and kissed her, then led her back to the box, handed her the piggy bank she wanted, searched inside again, and took out a small and exquisite lantern. .

How compact is it? It's not as big as Gu Xueting's fist.

It seemed to be carved from the teeth of some kind of monster. It was layered one upon another. She counted it and found that there were nine layers in total. The innermost layer was only as big as a grape.

Each layer is as thin as a piece of paper and carefully carved.

Even though it has been buried underground for so many years, it is still white, shiny and beautiful.

Shen Yizhi was pleasantly surprised, "This lamp is so beautiful!"

She took it carefully, for fear of breaking it.

Gu Xueting said with a smile: "Don't worry, this lamp is very strong. When I was a kid, I used it as a ball to play with, and nothing happened."

Playing with a ball? Excuseme?

Shen Yizhi was shocked and tried pressing the lantern. It did not move at all and did not break like a piece of paper as she thought.

She gradually increased her strength, but the lantern remained as stubborn as a rock.

“It’s true. But how to light this lamp?”

She looked left and right, up and down, but she didn't see any place where she could light a lamp.

Gu Xueting: "Try to put some spiritual energy into it."

Shen Yizhi gave it a try, and the innermost grape-sized inner light lit up, but the light was only slightly larger than a pea.

It is daytime now, so the light is inevitably not obvious.

Gu Xueting put the box into the space and said, "Let's go."

Shen Yizhi turned off the lamp and still played with it.

“By the way, does this lamp have a name?”

Gu Xueting thought for a while, "I remember my mother seemed to call it the 'Nine Turns Soul Lamp'."

“Nine-turn soul-inducing lamp? This name is really strange. Is it possible that this lamp is used to attract souls?”

“Maybe it’s the ghost messengers in the underworld who use it to guide the souls of the dead.” Gu Xueting joked.

“Haha, it’s not impossible.” Shen Yizhi felt that his guess was quite reliable.
