Chapter 546 Night Sky Purple Jade

When the sun went down, Luo Jun and Ziye landed on a beach.

After removing his invisibility, Luo Jun looked around curiously: "This is Yingzhou? Although I have been to several other worlds, this is my first time going abroad..."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone to see where he was, but found that there was no signal at all.

That's right, Aurora's operator business has not yet been extended to Yingzhou...

At this moment, there was movement behind them. When I looked back, I saw several white soldiers wearing military uniforms and carrying weapons walking over. After noticing the two of them, they turned on their flashlights and shined their light on them.

"I remember the natives here before, they didn't look like this..." Ziye was a little surprised when he saw a few soldiers.

"This is a specialty of Yingzhou, the federal soldiers." Luo Jun introduced: "Yingzhou has signed an agreement with the federation. It has almost no army, and its national defense mainly relies on the federal garrison."

"Even the army was handed over to others?" Ziye was surprised: "What value does such a country have?"

Luo Jun shrugged: "I've been wondering about this question for a long time..."

While they were talking, several soldiers had already come closer. They looked at the two of them. When they saw Midnight, their eyes lit up. They came up with a wicked smile and stretched out their hands to touch their faces.

Seeing this scene, Luo Jun subconsciously took two steps back, and then saw Ziye flicking her long hair, separating a few locks like tentacles, and piercing several soldiers through the candied haws...

Sure enough, this woman is really ruthless...

Luo Jun smacked his lips, stepped forward, took off the soldiers' firearms and equipment, and put them into his smart equipment bag.

Although they are all ordinary weapons, in this foreign country, if you prepare some weapons, when you really need to use force, you will not use the methods of a practitioner...

"Where should we go next?" After finishing cleaning up, Luo Jun looked at Ziye.

"If I remember correctly, it should be in that direction." Ziye pointed to a mountain peak in the distance.

"Then let's go quickly." Luo Jun was also curious about what he was looking for in Yingzhou at midnight. The two of them rushed towards the mountain peak. After a while, they saw roads and houses and entered a bustling city.

This city looks quite big, but the mountain peak is already in front of you. Could it be that the mountain stands in the middle of the city?

Luo Jun saw a map of the city on a display board on the roadside and found that the entire city was in a huge ring shape, indeed wrapping a huge mountain peak.

Is there such a strange city? Generally speaking, even if a city is built on a mountain, it should be built on one side of the mountain, usually the south side. I have never seen a city built in a circle around a mountain. And looking at the map, the shape of this mountain is extremely regular. The area it covers is almost a perfect circle, like a pointed hat on the ground. Although it looks tall, the area it covers is not large...

Take a look at the description next to the map. The Yingzhou characters were born out of Cathay. Although they have been very different after thousands of years of evolution, you can still get a rough idea through the mixed Sinian characters...

"Old... capital?" Luo Jun read out the name of the city.

He had heard of this city, and it was also one of the top big cities in Yingzhou. It was said to be the capital of Yingzhou in ancient times, and the city got its name from this. I had heard that there was a mountain in the old capital before, but I didn’t expect it to have such a shape.

The two walked all the way through the city and came to the foot of the mountain. They found that the entire mountain was surrounded by walls and seemed to be a forbidden area.

However, the mere wall was naturally not a problem for the two of them. When no one was paying attention, with a slight jump, Ziye and Luo Jun climbed into the mountainous area.

"Um?"

The moment he climbed over the wall, Luo Jun frowned because he felt that he was swept by some slight fluctuation!

It's a probing technique!

The entire mountain should be surrounded by some kind of detection technique. If someone enters, they will be sensed instantly!

Ordinary places definitely don’t need this level of anti-theft measures. This mountain is related to the practitioners of Yingzhou!

But since they were already in, they couldn't care less. The two of them rushed towards the top of the mountain. On the way, Luo Jun even took out a fake mask and changed his face.

Finally, as they approached the top of the mountain, they discovered a shrine.

This is a place used by Yingzhou people to worship gods. Of course, this refers to the kind of gods that ordinary people believe in, not the ancient true gods. Every New Year, local people come to the shrine to pray for blessings, which is somewhat similar to a temple.

This shrine is very large, with a tall torii gate in front of the door, and a stone staircase extending to the foot of the mountain. At the top of the stone steps, a girl wearing a red and white witch costume stood there, as if she had been waiting for a long time. .

"Really... my shrine is not open to the public, just go through the main entrance." The girl complained in fluent Yingzhou dialect.

When he came to a foreign country, Luo Jun brought the translation treasure in advance, so he could hear it clearly. He looked at Ziye beside him and found that she spoke first: "I'm sorry, it's been so long since I've been here. I've changed too much and I can't recognize it." ”

Can you speak Yingzhou dialect at midnight? Luo Jun was stunned for a moment, then realized that she was a chaotic monster. Since she could speak Cathay, it was not surprising that she could speak Yingzhou dialect. After all, feathered monsters might have the ability to instantly master language.

"Too long?" A puzzled look appeared on the girl's face: "Our Toba family has been guarding this place for thousands of years, and the layout of Toba Shrine and Jōtama Mountain has not changed much over the years. When did you come here before?"

Midnight did not answer her words: "Is there a round purple jade on this mountain?"

The girl was slightly startled when she heard this: "Are you here to visit the Night Sky Purple Jade? Sorry, the shrine is closed now. If you want to see it, come back at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"It seems like it's still there..." Ziye breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't want to wait that long, can you be accommodating?"

"I'm sorry, Reina hates working overtime the most..." The girl pretended to be coy, but in fact, she was filled with anger: "Especially when someone forces her to work overtime."

"Little sister, this sister has a bad temper. I advise you not to do stupid things..." Luo Jun wisely took a step back and reminded her kindly.

"Then it seems that Rena and this beautiful sister are destined to be together..." The girl's eyes began to turn red: "Rena's temper is also very bad, especially when she is asked to work overtime..."

Midnight sneered, her long hair flowing freely behind her back, obviously planning to make this bad-tempered witch into a skewer like a federal soldier.

Just when the conflict was about to break out, a talisman suddenly flew out from the shrine and landed between the two of them, forming a transparent barrier!

"Stop it!" shouted a loud voice, and then a middle-aged man in his fifties rushed out from the shrine and stood behind the barrier in front of the girl.

"Father?" The girl said in surprise: "Just leave this kind of trivial matter to me, why are you coming out too?"

The middle-aged man frowned, stared at Ziye opposite, and said slowly: "Just now, the purple jade in the night sky glowed again!"

"What?" The girl was shocked when she heard this: "Hasn't the purple jade in the night sky not glowed for hundreds of years? Why did it shine twice in this short period of time?"

"I don't know..." The middle-aged man shook his head: "After the glow half an hour ago, there was no movement at all. Unexpectedly, it suddenly started to glow again this time, and the state was exactly the same as recorded in the ancient family books, so I just came out to see what happened?"

As he said that, the middle-aged man's phone rang. After he answered the call, he frowned: "I know..."

Putting down the phone, he looked at the girl: "The light has stopped again."

"What's going on?" The girl was also confused.

"I know the reason for that glow." Ziye had let down her hair at this time and said with a smile: "Now, can you take me in for a visit?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Ziye doubtfully, thought about it, and finally removed the barrier: "Please follow me."

Ziye and Luo Jun followed the father and daughter into the shrine.

"You two don't seem to be from Yingzhou?" the middle-aged man asked.

"How can you tell?" Luo Jun asked curiously.

"Yingzhou is not a big place. I basically know all the local cultivators. I have never heard of two such masters."

"Indeed, we are from Cathay and it is our first time in Yingzhou." Luo Jun replied.

"Then why did you think of sneaking in to see the Night Sky Purple Jade?" the girl on the side asked curiously.

"You have to ask her." Luo Jun looked at Ziye aside and winked at her, not to say anything too shocking.

Ziye understood the idea and replied: "My ancestors handed down an ancient book with relevant records. This time I came to Yingzhou, I wanted to take a look."

"Ancient books?" The man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What era are they from?"

"It only records this mountain." Ziye said: "There is no record of the shrine, so I thought this was a barren mountain that anyone could enter."

"Who said this is a barren mountain!" The girl pouted: "This is the private property of our Toba family. Our ancestors have lived here for generations!"

"Reina!" the middle-aged man scolded, and then introduced himself to Midnight: "Just kidding, I am Toba Gensuke, the heir to Toba Shrine and the contemporary head of the Toba family. This is my second daughter Toba. Rena Ha, who works part-time as a shrine maiden after school, is spoiled by me and has a naughty personality, which makes the two of them laugh."

"It's okay. Anyone who is barged into the house will not feel good about it!" Luo Jun looked at Toba Gensuke: "You Yingzhou people should know it best, right?"

Toba Gensuke laughed twice, and Luo Jun continued to ask: "By the way, how did that piece of purple jade fall into your hands and build a shrine here?"

"It's Night Sky Purple Jade!" Toba Reina corrected, and Toba Gensuke on the side explained: "You two have heard of it, too. This old capital was once the capital of Yingzhou in ancient times. It was what the royal family wanted. We chose to build our capital here because of the discovery of this precious jade on Jingyu Mountain.”

"It is said that more than a thousand years ago, an unprecedented catastrophe occurred in Yingzhou. The terrible earthquake shook the entire main island, and endless tsunamis submerged large areas of land. Countless people were killed and injured, and the country was on the verge of collapse."

"Just when everyone thought that Yingzhou Island would be silent in the sea, a purple light rose into the sky, and then all disasters stopped."

"Everyone believed that it was the purple light that saved Yingzhou, so the emperor at that time led people to the place where the light appeared, which was the Jingyu Mountain, to search for it. Finally, a piece of purple gem was found in a crack on the top of the mountain. Because the purple light was emitted at night, illuminating the entire night sky, and the gem itself was crystal clear without a trace of impurities, the emperor named this gem Night Sky Purple Jingyu, built a shrine on the mountain for worship, and built a capital around Jingyu Mountain, which is the predecessor of this old capital. And my ancestors were ordered by the emperor at that time to take care of this gem from generation to generation."

"So there is such a history..." Luo Jun touched his chin, Toba Yuanjie shook his head and said: "Rather than history, it is better to say it is a myth, because the story in it is really It is too bizarre. "

"After that, according to the records in the ancient books handed down from my family, the Night Sky Purple Jade never shone again until one day six hundred years ago, when the jade shone again, but it was no longer the purple light that penetrated the sky and the earth, but flickered regularly. The flickering lasted less than half an hour and then stopped. My ancestors studied the Night Sky Purple Jade for a long time, but could not find the reason for the glow. Since then, the jade has been silent... until today!"

Toba Yuanjie looked at Ziye and said, "Today, the Night Sky Purple Jade flickered twice, exactly the same as the one recorded in the book six hundred years ago. Girl, you happened to follow the records in the ancient books at home to find the jade, so I guess, is there any connection between them?"

"What is the connection? I have to see the jade first." Ziye said lightly.

As they were talking, they had already crossed the courtyard and came to the main hall of the shrine. They saw a purple transparent gem enshrined on the shrine in the center. The jade was about the size of a plate, round in shape, about two fingers thick, with a small hole the size of a bottle cap in the middle, and looked a bit like the jade bi of ancient Zhendan.

"Such a precious treasure is placed in the open, aren't you afraid of being stolen?" Luo Jun was a little surprised:

"This is not real." Ziye saw it at a glance.

Toba Motosuke nodded: "Yes, the real thing naturally cannot be placed in such a conspicuous position, both of you follow me."

Several people bypassed the main hall and came to the back. Toba Motosuke opened a secret door and led the two people in.

Behind the door was a secret room, the surrounding walls were made of inert materials, and in the middle was placed the same night sky purple pure jade as the one outside.

"This is the real thing." Toba Motosuke introduced: "This is a secret room built by the family specifically for the treasure. It is monitored 24 hours a day and will alarm if there is any disturbance. Thanks to the alarm system, we can observe the wonder of the Night Sky Purple Jade glowing."

"Wonder?" Midnight raised a hand towards the Night Sky Purple Jade, and the jade suddenly began to glow and flash, illuminating the entire secret room!

"Are you referring to this?"
