Chapter 1805 Attracting Birds
Lu Zhaoling reached out to open the cloth covering the item; it was still Qingfeng's robe hem.
Zhou Shiyue wrapped it in several layers, but Lu Zhaoling wasn't that careful. She grabbed a corner, flicked her wrist, and the thing rolled twice before the cloth was shaken open.
Seeing her such bold and expansive movements, Zhou Shiyue's heart skipped a beat.
Lu Xiaoer is really straightforward and crude. He clearly told her that this thing was quite evil and that even he was affected by it, yet she is still so careless.
But he couldn't bear to say anything to her.
Lu Zhaoling then ripped open the robe with both hands, revealing the thing in front of her.
Compared to the faint green light that Zhou Shiyue saw, this thing appeared to Lu Zhaoling as a fluorescent green, a deep, glossy green.
Although it was covered with a layer of mud and rocks...
"Bring me a hammer," Lu Zhaoling said.
Qingfeng quickly went to find Hammer.
Looking at the green light, Lu Zhaoling felt a strange sense of familiarity.
She turned to look at Zhou Shiyue, "You're not affected right now, are you?"
“It seems like it’s fine as long as you don’t touch it,” Zhou Shiyue said.
"Your Highness, the hammer is here."
Lu Zhaoling took the hammer and raised it.
Seeing her stance, Qingfeng couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, you don't actually intend to just smash it like that, do you?"
"Otherwise what? Should we be polite to it?"
Lu Zhaoling waved her hand, "Step back, step back."
Qingfeng had no choice but to retreat again.
Lu Zhaoling raised the hammer and smashed it down on the outer layer of mud and rocks of that thing.
Dust flew everywhere.
But it cracked open quickly, and when she poked it with a hammer, the contents inside were revealed.
It's something that looks like a bamboo shoot, and it looks like jade, but there's a layer of white fuzz on the surface. I don't know what it is.
"Bring over a plate of water," Lu Zhaoling said again.
Qingfeng quickly brought over a basin of clean water.
Lu Zhaoling took it, thought for a moment, and then reached out to take the stalagmite.
When Zhou Shiyue saw her do this, his heart jumped.
The moment Lu Zhaoling grabbed the stalagmite, countless fragmented images flashed through her mind, too fast for her to grasp.
But it was at that moment that she saw one of the scenes—
is her.
No, it was her during the first Xuanmen era.
She was only a few years old, with her hair styled in two buns and tied with yellow ribbons.
She stood in a huge, spacious, and dark cave, where something faintly glowed green.
Someone in the darkness asked her—
Before she could even hear what was being asked, a sudden, sharp pain shot through her head.
The next second, a hand supported her waist.
Zhou Shiyue's voice rang in my ears, "A-Ling!"
Lu Zhaoling's vision cleared instantly, and she immediately threw what she was holding into the water.
"I am fine."
She quickly stopped Zhou Shiyue, because at that very moment, Zhou Shiyue was already preparing to strike and knock the thing away.
So Lu Zhaoling promptly threw it into the basin of clean water.
“You were engrossed in something just now,” Zhou Shiyue said, his voice slightly tense.
“It’s not a bad thing,” Lu Zhaoling turned to look at him and saw the worry and tension in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, she didn’t explain clearly, “It’s just that some things have been on my mind.”
Zhou Shiyue gave her a deep look, then released his hand from her lower back. "Are you really alright?"
"Not really."
Her gaze returned to the basin of water.
Zhou Shiyue followed her gaze.
Upon seeing this, both of them were stunned.
It was rare for them to be so out of control, so the young people who were a little far away were on tenterhooks, watching them like cats scratching at them, both worried and curious, wondering what they had seen.
Does that stone-like thing turn into something else when it's thrown into the water?
Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue watched as the stone-like thing in the water grew and bloomed rapidly on its surface, with a layer of white frost-like substance. Then, crowded together, the stalagmite became an extremely lush flower stalk.
The white thing grows like down, but when it blooms, it looks like a fluffy ball, with silkless downy threads wrapped around it, squeezed together, and its surface has a pearly sheen.
If we're talking about beauty, then it's truly a unique kind of beauty.
But to some people, it's probably a kind of bizarre and unacceptable trypophobia.
Moreover, it is still growing.
Those pom-poms kept getting bigger after being soaked in water.
The larger the size, the more pronounced the velvety texture becomes, and the more noticeable the pearly white on it becomes.
Just by looking at it, you can imagine how it feels; it must be soft and fluffy, like you could squeeze out a lot of water droplets if you pinch it.
But looking at its fluffy appearance, Lu Zhaoling didn't want to touch it.
What is this thing?
Looking at the pot of white fluffy balls, Zhou Shiyue had a feeling in his mind—
"I always felt that I must have seen this thing before, and that I should know about it."
"Ok?"
Lu Zhaoling turned to look at him in surprise.
"you know?"
"I feel I should know, but I really can't think of its name right now."
Strange noises came from the sky.
They looked up and were surprised to see many birds flying over.
more and more.
Moreover, it looks like they're heading towards this thing.
Zhou Shiyue thought of something and immediately said, "Seal it off."
"Third Lady!"
Lu Zhaoling also shouted.
Third Sister quickly floated over, "Master, what do you need to do?"
"keep it."
Third Sister quickly used her hand mirror to put the item inside.
But as soon as she put it away, she gasped and almost dropped the handheld mirror.
Although she didn't lose it, she shoved the handheld mirror into Lu Zhaoling's hand.
"Master, it's freezing to the touch!"
How cold must her hands be? Even a ghost would find it unbearable.
Lu Zhaoling caught the hand mirror abruptly and gasped in shock; it was indeed freezing!
She quickly threw the hand mirror onto the stone table, and a warming talisman was immediately stuck on it.
This completely covered the mirror surface.
Sheng San Niangzi looked at the mirror in her hand, then at Lu Zhaoling.
Zhou Shiyue then raised his head.
Just a short while ago, dozens of birds flew over and circled above their heads, but they clearly lost sight of their target and flew away after circling for a while.
He estimated that if he didn't put that thing away, hundreds, even thousands, of birds would fly over later.
This scene will become a celestial anomaly, alarming the Emperor and the entire Imperial Observatory.
The last time something like this happened...
What time is it?
Zhou Shiyue felt that he had seen this strange phenomenon before.
As Lu Zhaoling watched the birds fly away, a possibility came to mind.
She looked at Zhou Shiyue, "Could it be that the Fifth Princess wants this thing just because it can attract hundreds of birds?"
Zhou Shiyue's face was somber.
"Most likely."
So, if they hadn't happened to run into her and interfered, the Fifth Princess would have made a big move.
