Moonlight and wind

Chapter 262: True Essence Extradition Stone

Azhuona looked up at the moonlight and said, "It's getting late. I don't want to disturb you all. Please rest assured that we will take care of the little brother." He stood up and said, "As for other matters, we will discuss it tomorrow."

After seeing Azhuona off, everyone was lying down or sitting down. There were not many decent household items in this slightly shabby bamboo attic.

Shan Zimo lay leisurely on the ground, with his legs crossed and his hands under his head, looking at the moonlight shining through the bamboo leaves on the roof with a comfortable smile.

"Zimo, what are you thinking about?" Yuwen Lin lay down next to Shan Zimo, leaning on his side, supporting his head with one hand and the other on his waist.

"It's been almost half a year since we came out!" Shan Zimo shook his feet.

"Almost!" Yu Wenlin also followed Shan Zimo's example and lay down, "The revenue from our tea shops alone is a million taels!"

"How much?" Shan Boyu, who was sitting not far away, crawled to Yuwen Lin's side, "Master Yuwen, can you give me some money to expand our tea shop and give me some bonus at the end of the year?"

Yu Wenlin tilted his head and looked at the serious Shan Boyu and smiled, "Don't belittle me! If you follow Zimo, how can he leave you out?"

After hearing this, Shan Boyu became depressed and sat back down.

Shan Zimo smiled lightly, "You can't miss it! Go to sleep!"

Shan Boyu suddenly raised his head then, with a gleam of fortune in his eyes. He lay down happily and began to have sweet dreams!

The rustling sound of bamboo leaves coming from outside the attic was like a lullaby, which made these tired people fall asleep quickly.

The first ray of sunlight penetrated the gaps in the bamboo forest, dispersing the morning mist that enveloped the village. Under the attic, the clear and loud crowing of roosters, the deep and powerful mooing of cows, the lively and pleasant bleating of sheep, the barking of dogs, the grunting of pigs...all kinds of sounds came from under the floor!

Shan Zimo covered his ears, turned over and lay on the floor. Through the gap, he looked into the eyes of a fat, big-eared spotted pig. He jumped up in fright and lost all his sleepiness!

Others also woke up to this pastoral symphony, walked out of the attic, and looked at the lush green houses, which had a unique charm.

"Dear guests," a tribesman ran over to the attic, "your friend has woken up. The high priest invites you to come over." The tribesman raised his hand, "Please follow me."

Everyone was delighted and followed the Ayijin tribe members to their main attic with great interest.

The main pavilion is located in the middle of the village. It consists of six floors and is built entirely of bamboo. The green and light yellow are intertwined, and the natural colors give the pavilion a beautiful and gorgeous look.

"Li!" As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Li sitting up and walked over quickly, "Are you okay?"

Li laughed, showing two naughty little canine teeth, and said with a strong nasal voice, "Master, I'm fine!"

A tribesman stood up and saluted, "My name is Ayunshan, I am the tribe's doctor."

Everyone saluted the doctor and expressed gratitude for his treatment.

"I don't deserve it!" Ayunshan waved his hands repeatedly, "To be honest, I only know a little bit. I'm sorry, I'm incapable of removing the coldness in this little brother's body. I'm afraid ordinary medicines will be difficult to drive away."

Alanru sat aside with a pout, as if she was sulking, "Broken stone! It's gone when you need it! It's a nuisance when you don't need it!"

These words made Shan Zimo and the others very confused.

Soon, food was served in the lobby and Azhuona invited everyone to eat together.

"Brother Azhuo," Shan Zimo asked casually while eating, "What kind of magic power does the Zhenyuan Extradition Stone you mentioned last night have that made you pay such a huge price?"

Azhuona put down the wooden bowl in his hand, leaned back on the bamboo chair, let out a long sigh, and stared at the food in front of him. His eyes began to become uncertain and it took a long time for him to speak.

"This True Essence Extradition Stone has existed since the existence of our Ayijin tribe," Azhuo unconsciously put his hands together, "It is said that it is a strange stone containing ancient energy."

"What does it look like?" Shan Zimo asked curiously. He was also a person who had seen many rare and antique artifacts.

"I've already told you!" Alanru pouted, "It's just a broken stone!"

Azhuona shook his head helplessly. "Indeed, the True Essence Guidance Stone looks like an unremarkable stone from the outside, but if you look closely, its color is as warm as jade, and you can vaguely see the delicate patterns on it."

"Nonsense!" Alanru said in disbelief, "I've never seen any lines!"

"Oh?" Yijianhui frowned, thought for a while and said, "Can this treasure be used to identify the inner strength of the holder?"

"That's right!" Azhuona nodded suddenly, "But this is also the place where it exists against the will of heaven!" Azhuona frowned when he said this.

"Against the will of heaven?" Shan Zimo became even more interested!

"The patterns on the stone actually record a set of mental skills, but we mortals cannot understand its meaning. The only one who can understand it is Alanru's father, our clan leader, but now he is gone."

"According to the meaning of the name of this treasure, could it be that it can transfer other people's internal energy to other people's bodies through this treasure?" Xuanyue, who had been silent all this time, thought over and over again.

"Yes!" Azhuona clapped his hands, "The girl is really beautiful and intelligent!"

Xuanyue's face instantly turned red all the way to her neck!

"We have been guarding this stone for hundreds of years, and we have experienced countless battles of robbery during this period!" Azhuona said angrily, "Those with evil intentions tried to use it to change fate and transfer other people's true essence to their own use!"

"Such a powerful thing, don't your people use it to gain inner strength?" As soon as Li said this, the people present couldn't help but become nervous.

Azhuona shook his head helplessly. "Indeed, over the past few hundred years, there have been a few traitors among my people who wanted to take shortcuts. However," Azhuona sighed, "We, the Ayijin tribe, are like the chosen guardians of the True Essence Extradition Stone. This stone has no effect in our hands!"

Shan Zimo wanted to laugh, but he thought it was very impolite, so he tried to hold it back so hard that his facial features twisted into a grimace!

"Isn't it ridiculous?" Azhu laughed self-deprecatingly. This big man who looked so ferocious last night seemed so helpless at this moment.

"Wait," Shan Zimo suddenly stopped everyone from laughing, "I remember that in Lingyu Town, your people had already obtained the treasure, and we sent them out of the city gate, so why haven't they returned yet?"

"After leaving Lingyu Town, A Zheng and the others headed south, but the Right Prime Minister's men kept chasing them..."

"So, the Zhen Yuan Extradition Stone was taken back again?"
