piecing together the soul

Chapter 38 27 soul, faded
"There is a secret cave under the Forbidden City. I found it in it. There are several boxes of treasures. I picked out a few and came out."

"Is that buried by the ancients?" I couldn't put it down so much, I just looked at and touched it, and couldn't stop. "Sheet fat jade is the best jade, and the ancients valued it very much. Only emperors and generals have it." Qualified to wear high-grade white jade. You must belong to some queen or noble concubine, right?"

Brother Xiu also followed and asked, "Is this jade so good?"

"Of course!" I nodded. "White suet jade symbolizes the virtues of 'benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage and cleanliness', and was highly respected by the nobles in ancient times. Many emperors used white jade to make seals!"

"Really?" Brother Xiu smiled, "It seems that Xiao Han has a good eye. How about those two coral bracelets?"

"I don't know about coral, I'd better ask Master Xu." I said.

Master Xu had already washed brother Xiu's arm bone, and he yawned as he walked: "Let's talk about it after I sleep."

He raised his head slightly, and I saw a circle of bruises on his neck. When I looked carefully, I found that there were scratches on his face and arms, and there were also faint scars on the palm of his hand: "Master Xu, what's wrong with your neck?" What's the matter? And your hand? If I knew you had a wound on your hand, I wouldn't let you get wet."

He didn't answer directly, but went straight to his bedroom, put Brother Xiu's arms on the blanket, covered the white sheet, and said, "No, I'm too tired, you can ask Xiuying, I have to sleep."

"Hey! Can you go back to sleep after you finish talking?" I said and followed me in, but he pushed me outside the door, then closed the door with a "bang" and locked it with a "snap".

I turned my head and looked helplessly at Brother Xiu, and suddenly realized that I could already see his left arm.

"Yo, was that left hand just now?" It seemed that Master Xu was indeed exhausted, so I didn't intend to quarrel with him any more, and turned around to start teasing Brother Xiu.

"That's right." Brother Xiu asked, "I haven't asked you yet, why did you go out last night? I didn't see you when I came back just now, so I thought something happened to you!"

I turned back and sat at the dining table, picked up the remaining half of my glass of soy milk and drank a couple of sips: "I'm so bored, and this place is gloomy, I might as well go back to school."

"You, how were you doing last night?"

I didn't bother to say that someone jumped off the building last night, so I shook my head: "It's okay, I just went back to the dormitory and slept. What's the matter with you? You took several treasures, and Master Xu got hurt all over?"

"You just saw that he was injured, didn't you?" Brother Xiu seemed a little unhappy, "I almost died several times too, okay?"

"You were already dead."

"I'm talking about soul flying away." Brother Xiu turned his back.

As the sky gradually brightened, Brother Xiu's shadow became more and more transparent.At this time in the morning before, his shadow didn't seem to be so faint.

"You, what's wrong?" I asked, "Why is your soul fading?"

"You're an asshole!" He cursed back and immediately realized, "I'm not..."

I couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that not only the soul is weak, but also the brain is not working well."

He looked embarrassed and didn't answer.I continued to ask, "What's the matter with you?"

"It's nothing." He said, "We just dug up the bones and entered a tunnel, and then came out of some kind of Zhongshan Park."

"Wow, it's so exciting!" Although he didn't say anything, I was able to make up a lot of things by myself.For example, what kind of hidden weapon is hidden in the tunnel, or what hidden secrets are buried deep in the palace? By the way, those treasures were dug out there!I subconsciously looked at the jade bracelet that was still in my hand. Could it be that this thing was taken from a dead person?
With this thought, I felt chills all over my body.Brother Xiu seemed to sense that something was wrong with me, so he said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Although I said so, I went to the bathroom immediately, reapplied the hand sanitizer, and took off the bracelet.

I put the two bracelets back together, and then I felt more comfortable, but I couldn't find brother Xiu when I looked back.

"Brother Xiu?"

"I'm here," he said. "Can't you see me?"

I nodded: "It seems that your essence is really hurt."

Thinking of what he said to Master Xu, that he once lost his soul to save me, and what he said just now that he almost died several times, I suddenly felt strange in my heart.

"It's nothing, at least I came here safely." The feeling of only hearing voices but not seeing people is really bad, and the ghost's voice has no sense of direction.I was sitting on the sofa in the living room, there was no one around, and a voice came directly to my ears without warning.If I hadn't gotten used to it in the past few days, I would really feel terrified.

"By the way." Brother Xiu said suddenly, "We met a woman. I don't know whether she is a ghost, a walking corpse or a monster. She died during the Yongle period. I heard from Xiaohan, do you like Emperor Yongle?"

"Of course!" I was naturally excited when I mentioned my male god, "That's one of my four major male gods! And it's the second closest to our age!"

"Who is the closest?"

"***what!"

"Who is that?"

"Don't you know him? Let me figure it out..." I thought for a while, "Don't tell me, *** is really about the same age as you."

Brother Xiu didn't seem to care about this very much, but asked: "I heard from that female ghost that Emperor Yongle gave her death. She still scolded Emperor Yongle, cruel, shameless, cruel, why..."

"Do you listen to her?" I couldn't bear others to say that about the male god, "He is the emperor, how can we demand him with the standards of ordinary people? Without him, how can there be Yongle Grand Ceremony? How can there be Zheng He's voyages? How can there be now The Forbidden City and the city of Beijing? How can the prosperous Ming Dynasty accept the coming of all nations? Although the current socialist society does not advocate feudal monarchs, we cannot separate ourselves from history and say that history is not right? He is the god of that era!"

Brother Xiu may have been frightened by me, so his voice was much lower: "You, don't get excited... I didn't say that, and I don't know this person well."

Hearing his tone, I couldn't help laughing too, and said, "Forget it, let's not mention this."

"By the way, we passed two stations yesterday, and I felt my bones. When shall we go and see?"

"Which station?"

"One is Xizhimen, or is it outside Xizhimen? I don't remember. The other is Caihuying Bridge... where is the east side of the bridge?"
