Chapter 116

"What did you go do, who was calling you?" After Seeing Xiao Yu Yu jumped down from the wall, Hong Qu asked.

Mother Zhang didn't understand any sound transmission, she just shouted against the wall, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu could hear it, and naturally Hong Qu also noticed it.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu only hesitated for a moment before throwing the small yellow cloth bag over.

"What is it..."

Hong Qu took the small cloth bag, poured out the jade pendant inside, and looked at it, surprised: "This is a piece of spiritual jade, where did you get it?"

"Mistress Xu's Golden Carp Jade Pendant."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu briefly told her about last night and just now, while examining the warm and moist jade pendant, and asked: "What is spiritual jade?"

Last night she had also briefly played with and carefully observed the Golden Carp Jade Pendant.

It was just that the night was dark, and observing it with the faint light from afar was not as clear and detailed as it was under the candlestick now.

It is indeed delicate in texture, warm and flawless, with uniform color.

Placed under the light, the golden carp seems to have a trace of charm.

But to say what essential difference it has from other beautiful jade, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's knowledge is shallow, and she can't distinguish it.

"Comparing only appearance, touch, and color, spiritual jade is not necessarily better than ordinary precious jade, it's just that spiritual jade contains a trace of earth and stone spiritual energy, and is often used by immortals to make jade ware, such as jade bowls, jade cups, and jade pots.

This piece of spiritual jade is too small, it has no value—"

Hong Qu's action of turning and playing with the jade pendant suddenly paused for a moment, a look of surprise flashed quickly in her eyes, then her face returned to normal, and she continued: "Of course, it has no value to immortals.

In any case, it is still a piece of spiritual jade.

Even if it is an uncarved raw jade, it can be worth several hundred silver taels.

This golden carp is carved vividly and has quite a charm. It wouldn't be strange to sell it for a high price of two or three thousand silver taels if you meet a noble who loves this object.

No wonder Mistress Hu became greedy, she probably recognized it as a piece of spiritual jade."

After speaking, she put the jade pendant back into the small cloth bag and handed it back to Seeing Xiao Yu Yu.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu took the jade pendant and hesitated: "When I read the 'Yinfu Sutra' before, you once said that Yinfu is very common in the army..."

She was standing right next to Hong Qu, and had been paying attention to her expression, and had just noticed that her expression was different.

So the Golden Carp Jade Pendant might be abnormal!

Now Hong Qu is pretending to be fine, and when night comes, she will probably write on her soles again.

She appreciates Hong Qu's caution, but it makes her soles itchy, which is a bit uncomfortable.

And after Hong Qu finishes writing on her soles, she falls asleep in a daze and keeps holding her feet tightly... She feels her drool has even flowed onto her feet.

"Is it the Yinfu that transmits important military intelligence?"

Hong Qu picked up a pen, drew a few symbols like dots, short horizontal lines, long horizontal lines, vertical lines, and slashes on the paper, and said: "Using these symbols to form secret information is also called 'Yinfu'.

But this kind of Yinfu is just a minor path, the 'Emperor's Yinfu Sutra' contains the heavenly principles of becoming an immortal.

They are both called 'Yinfu', but they are as different as clouds and mud."

"What about mud, what about clouds? Without mud, the world will die, without clouds, the human world will just lack a bit of scenery." Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said.

Hong Qu glanced at her and sneered: "Everyone can speak big truths, but those who attain the Dao are few in the world."

"Alright, no big truths, teach me how to use ordinary communication Yinfu." Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said with a smile.

Hong Qu pursed her lips and hesitated: "Many people know Yinfu, but I don't know much about it, you might be able to find someone else to learn."

——Yinfu techniques are not top secret, and they are not as secret as writing on the soles of feet.

She didn't know that Seeing Xiao Yu Yu disliked her holding her feet while sleeping, but she understood the reason why Seeing Xiao Yu Yu asked about Yinfu.

"Learn as much as I can."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu thought of Morse code from her previous life, maybe she could use sounds and gestures to represent various basic runes.

"If you want to learn the art of Yinfu communication, you must first understand the basics of Yin-Yang and Bagua..."

Hong Qu spoke and drew, and until the candle burned out, she hadn't finished explaining the art of Yinfu.

Just the various Bagua diagrams drawn on paper were a large stack.

It was fortunate that Seeing Xiao Yu Yu had just experienced the Kunpeng transformation, and her brain seemed to have completed an "ascension."

If it were before her sword bones shattered, she would definitely have listened until she was dizzy and confused, but gained nothing.

"I didn't expect that it's just a small trick for transmitting secret messages in the army, yet it involves such extensive and profound Daoist theories."

Her spirit was a bit tired, and considering that Hong Qu was going to transmit messages via her soles again, she didn't go to the pool to cultivate internal qi tonight and lay directly on the bed.

"Hmph, why do you think it's a small trick? Simple message transmission is not difficult, just agree on what symbols represent what characters, and ordinary people can do it well.

The key is secrecy!

Isn't Yinfu communication used for secrecy?

And the object of secrecy might even be an immortal.

How can ordinary encryption methods deceive an immortal who has mastered the Great Dao?"

"To use Yinfu to deceive an immortal, you need to possess Yin-Yang and Bagua knowledge at the same level as the immortal?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was a bit desperate.

She learned Yinfu, and it was really to deceive ghosts, gods, immortals, and Buddhas.

If her understanding of the Yin-Yang and Bagua Dao could reach the level of immortals and Buddhas, what Yinfu would she need?

Whoever dares to eavesdrop, just stab them to death with a sword.

Hong Qu said seriously: "You are right, if you want Yinfu to deceive someone, your understanding of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams must transcend the other party.

But it doesn't mean that if your realm is not as high as the other party's, Yinfu loses its effect.

After all, cracking Yinfu also takes time and energy.

And urgent military intelligence has a very strong time-sensitivity.

Even if the other party can crack your Yinfu communication, if it takes too long, it won't have any meaning after it's cracked."

"Oh, that makes sense."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu frowned slightly, she felt the small buns on Hong Qu's chest.

She held her feet again, using the quilt to cover it, and quietly wrote on her soles.

"That Golden Carp Jade Pendant seems to contain a divine ability inheritance."

The sudden surprise made Seeing Xiao Yu Yu's body tense up.

But just as she was expecting Hong Qu to continue, Hong Qu turned over and let go of her soles.

"What inheritance, explain it clearly!" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was helpless and started touching her feet.

"I don't know, how can I explain it clearly?"

After a pause, Hong Qu explained: "Three years ago, I once visited Duan Laoshu Song, the 'Blood-Hand Arhat', with my father, and he was playing with a jade slip engraved with the 'Lotus Sutra' at the time.

I was curious and borrowed it to play with.

It felt a bit like today's Golden Carp Jade Pendant, but not exactly the same.

Duan Laoshu Song said that there was a scripture engraved by a 'Bodhisattva' with spiritual power in the jade slip.

He was not the destined person and could not open it.

My feeling is like a book in a glass box, I can vaguely sense the book, but I can't open the box to read it carefully.

The golden carp on the jade pendant, it is a book itself... I have a feeling that if you can play with it for a long time, you can naturally unlock the secrets within.

But the golden carp is not my destiny, I don't want to get involved in karma.

As for you... sigh, you decide for yourself."

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu felt uncomfortable in her heart.

This dead girl Hong Qu, drifting in the dust, unable to control her own fate, yet she doesn't even know martial arts, where does her arrogance come from, daring to say such high-level things as "not wanting to get involved in karma"?

"Golden Carp" might be a divine ability, a divine ability!

Compared to her own ecstasy when she first heard about divine abilities, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu felt more and more uncomfortable.

"How do you know it's not your destiny? How is destiny judged?"

Hong Qu said: "If you meet it, if you get it, it's destiny. Just like opening the door in the morning, a magpie flying towards you, it's natural.

If you brush past it, or meet it but don't get it, then there is no destiny.

If you force it, and get it, it's not destiny, it might be entangled with a lot of karma and become a bad fate.

Mistress Xu held it for a lifetime and gained nothing, no destiny.

Shopkeeper Hu almost lost his life because of it, definitely a bad fate.

Mistress Hu has some destiny, she seemed to notice something, but you cut off her destiny, and now she doesn't know how to be angry and uncomfortable!

But I estimate that she is not the real destined person either."

"So, I am the destined person!" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said.

"If I hadn't reminded you, you wouldn't have been able to notice its abnormality, what kind of destined person are you? At most, like Mistress Xu, you have a share but no destiny." Hong Qu said.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu originally intended to be stubborn for a few more sentences.

But thinking of Hong Qu's indifference to the Golden Carp divine ability, and that sentence "not wanting" to get involved in karma.

She immediately said toughly: "I don't even care! I never thought about embezzling the Xu family's jade pendant.

I handed it to Mother Zhang for safekeeping before, now it's with me, Mother Zhang is supervising, one day I will return it to Xu Huier... wait, could it be that Xu Huier is the destined person?"

After Hong Qu fell asleep, she quietly climbed out of bed and took the jade pendant under the grape trellis.

"Plop~~~"

No destiny on the shore, maybe there is destiny after entering the water?

She really didn't intend to embezzle Xu Huier's jade pendant, but a divine ability is a knowledge skill.

Knowledge will not decrease because of sharing.

"Granny Feng's calculation is really accurate, within seven days, a noble person will come from the East... At that time, among so many girls, the noble person took a fancy to Jin Lian at a glance, and even politely declined Aunt Liu's suggestion to call Shao Yao over to accompany him."

"Yes, she doesn't even see the number one courtesan of Tianmen, she must have Jin Lian alone, Jin Lian is really going to make it big this time. Why don't we pool our money and ask Granny Feng to help us divine our future, and do a secret ritual..."

The next morning, Seeing Xiao Yu Yu and Hong Qu went to the small canteen for breakfast. Before they even entered the door, they saw two "old girls" with disheveled hair, squatting at the door, drinking egg soup while saying "Granny Feng" with envy.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was about to ask a few questions, but heard many girls in the small canteen talking about Jin Lian and Granny Feng.

"Ziying, what's the situation? What happened to Sister Jin Lian?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu scooped a bowl of soup, used chopsticks to string two big oil cakes, squeezed the little girl next to Ziying away, and sat down.

"Sister Jin Lian is having great luck, a noble young master from the Central Plains has moved into her Yihong House." Ziying's face didn't have envy, but deep awe.

"Central Plains, is it Great Qin? Coming from Great Qin?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said in surprise.

Ziying nodded repeatedly, "I heard Aunt Liu say that he is a real Upper State young master, just like Marquis Lieyang, a Great Qin noble, not someone from the vassal states in the Eastern region of the Liushahe."

"Is he clearing the way for the Great Qin Imperial Envoy?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu just asked, then frowned: "If he is someone from the Imperial Envoy, he shouldn't be so dissolute, just crossed the Liushahe and came to the Red Sleeve House, and even moved into the Yihong House."

"I don't know, I only know that even the servants of the Upper State young master have such dignity. I feel that the groom leading the horse has more bearing than our Tianmen Town's Lingjun." Ziying said.

——Compared to Zhu Yitao who is full of village talk, who isn't a gentle gentleman?

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu complained in her heart.

Hong Qu asked suspiciously: "The violent Qin young master even brought a groom?"

"Cough, cough, Hong Qu, you really are..." Seeing Xiao Yu Yu was almost choked by the egg soup.

Several little girls on the side ran away trembling with pale faces holding their bowls.

Only Ziying was left, afraid and anxious, "Sister Hong Qu, you should restrain yourself!"

Hong Qu glanced at the two women, her expression was faint, and she continued to drink soup in small sips.

Ziying closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

Ziying was really not wrong, the servants of the Great Qin nobles all seemed to have extraordinary temperament.

Neither humble nor arrogant, etiquette was perfect, even a simple cupping salute carried charm.

It's really not Seeing Xiao Yu Yu exaggerating.

There are a few servants who, like cultivating immortal martial arts, have cultivated etiquette into a grand and gentle artistic conception.

"This Chief Steward, how should I address you?"

Facing the middle-aged man standing at the door of Yihong House with his hands behind his back, Ziying and the others felt inferior and didn't dare to get close, only following behind Seeing Xiao Yu Yu, timidly.

Seeing Xiao Yu Yu had seen Daoist Qingsong and Marquis Lieyang, so naturally she wouldn't be afraid of a "high-level servant."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, he cupped his hands and smiled: "I don't dare to be called 'Chief Steward', I am escorting Young Master Gongsun to take up his post in the Western Sha Domain, I have no official position myself, and there is no need to call me 'Sir'.

Miss can call me 'Zou Lao', my surname is 'Zou', and my given name is 'Wen'."

"Zou Lao, my name is 'Yu Fengxian', I am Sister Jin Lian's sword arts instructor, is it convenient to go in now?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed quickly across Zou Lao's thin cheeks, and he shook his head: "Miss Jin Lian and my young master slept too late and haven't gotten up yet."

Actually, they were up, and started "morning exercise" again, the sound wasn't small, he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he left the courtyard.

"Zou Lao, may I ask, how many people did you bring?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu felt there were seven or eight strangers in the courtyard.

The tickets for the high-speed boat are precious, even Marquis Lieyang only sent out a dozen tickets to Western generals.

She didn't believe Young Master Gongsun was more extravagant than Marquis Lieyang.

Zou Lao smiled slightly and said: "If you are talking about companions who crossed the Liushahe together, there are at least seven or eight hundred!"

"Seven or eight hundred people, how did you cross the river?" Seeing Xiao Yu Yu said in surprise.

Zou Lao shook his head and said: "Hard to say, hard to say, I am just a guard, I don't know clearly, and I can't talk nonsense."
