Chapter 15 The Birthstone Mystery

The sun was shining brightly outside, but inside this room was an indissoluble darkness, and it was surprisingly cold.There was a dim candle burning in the corner, and a man was sitting beside him, wearing a loose black robe and flipping a thin booklet in his hand.The booklet reads "Birthstone" in three large characters, and the inscription reads: Chu Huai Ming.

"The birthstone is originally a cosmic spirit stone, which can revive the dead and white bones. The host of the birthstone can predict the future. If this person changes the future predicted by the birthstone, the birthstone will emit a strange light. People who see the light will I had hallucinations, thinking that I saw animals in the corresponding time..."

He has flipped through this thin notebook countless times, but he still reads it engrossed page by page. "If you want to take out the birthstone from the host, you have to do it on the night of the full moon..." The notes came to an abrupt end here, leaving only a series of incomplete fractures, and whoever tore off the half-volume at the back .

The man put away the notes carefully, picked up the candlestick and walked to the other side of the room.The shadow of the candlelight reflected on the crystal, illuminating the surroundings a bit.This is a crystal coffin, with ice cubes piled inside the coffin, holding up a female body.The woman in the coffin had her eyes closed, her black hair as black as ink, as if she was still sleeping peacefully.

The man put the candlestick on a table beside him, touched her cheek carefully, and quickly withdrew his hand.She was too cold, as fragile as a snowflake that was about to melt on her fingertips in an instant.The man looked at her calm face affectionately, and said softly: "Did you hear that? The Great Master wrote in his notes that the birthstone can bring the dead back to life. Don't worry, I will get the birthstone soon. Then save you. We'll be together soon..."

A gust of blood rushed to his throat, the man couldn't help turning his head away, bent down and coughed violently.The black robe was loosened, revealing a thin body.There is a shocking palm print on the chest, which has not dissipated.

The shadow of a candle flashed, and a man in black night clothes came in, and respectfully saluted the man: "Little brother Tang Ben has seen big brother. Big brother's injury...is it still not healed?"

The man finally stopped coughing, and replied flatly: "I was seriously injured this time, and I still need to recuperate for a while, and I have to rely on you and your clansmen for help."

Tang Ben said: "The assassination failed last time, it's my brother's carelessness. These clansmen are incompetent..."

The man waved his hand: "I don't blame you, no one would have expected that the princess went to Guoxi Pavilion by accident and met Xue Yao. Xue Yao's martial arts is even better than Xue Mu's, so it's hard for you to compete with her." For the enemy. Now that the princess has married into Xue's mansion, don't act rashly for the time being, just keep an eye on it. Wait until I recover a bit, and make plans before the next full moon night."

Tang Ben nodded in agreement, and the man in black said again: "Is there any whereabouts of the servant named Liao of the Chu family that I asked you to find?"

"In order to avoid being hunted by the royal family, that person has long since concealed his identity. I'm afraid it will take some time..."

"The other half of the volume of notes left by the great master must still be in his hands. No matter what the cost, even if it takes three feet to dig the ground, he must be found for me!"
