Chapter 920: Chapter 920: It’s the Spiritual Bone of the Ancestor
Yan Guowei is easygoing, lively and cheerful; he might have once thought of rescuing Xiu Shu and Nai Lan, but his two fists were no match for four hands. He couldn’t stop Hen Wenliang and the others on his own.
When he was forced to bury the bodies with Su Ming and Nai Lan’s brother, perhaps out of compassion, he draped the jacket he brought over Xiu Shu’s body.
Jiangli glanced at Xiu Shu, maybe she understood why Xiu Shu hadn’t directly attacked Yan Guowei.
However, she did not pursue this matter.
She only asked, “Did you encounter that spiritual bone around here at the ti?”
Xiu Shu nodded, “Yes, when I was digging up Nai Lan’s body, I ran into the spiritual bone under the layers of soil. It felt strange…the spiritual bone seed alive; when I touched it, it moved closer to .”
Then Xiu Shu felt her weak soul solidify a bit more, and her strength increased considerably.
She realized that the spiritual bone was a good thing and gradually relied on its power for revenge.
Upon hearing this, Jiangli squatted down at the spot Xiu Shu referred to and started searching through the soil layers.
Observing her actions, Xiu Shu recalled everything that happened in the room earlier and tentatively asked, “Is that spiritual bone yours?”
Jiangli gave a faint “mm” in response.
Xiu Shu mused, “What exactly is a spiritual bone? Is it really a bone? How could a person live missing a piece of bone?”
She sized up Jiangli, noting her sound limbs and impressive physique, which didn’t look like she was missing a bone at all.
Realizing Xiu Shu was unclear about what a spiritual bone was, Jiangli explained, “Everyone has a spiritual feature, which you might call a soul. After refining, spiritual bone grows out from the spiritual feature, making the spiritual feature co alive. To achieve enlightennt, one must cultivate both the spiritual bone and spiritual feature.”
“You can actually consider the spiritual feature akin to the ‘Dharmic appearance’ ntioned in Buddhist Sect teachings, representing strength at its peak.”
Upon hearing this, Xiu Shu seed partially understanding, “Then why did your spiritual bone appear here?”
“That’s a question I’d like to ask too.”
As Jiangli spoke, she paused her fingers rubbing in the dirt, feeling a familiar power.
With a swift lift of her palm, a streak of darkness shot up from beneath the soil, landing on Jiangli’s palm.
Jiangli took a look and it was indeed the iron-crafted Five Thunder Talisman.
Or rather, another Five Thunder Talisman…
Jiangli saw this talisman, surprised, yet not entirely surprised.
By now, three Five Thunder Talismans had already appeared.
Recalling where these three talismans had erged, an unusual feeling surfaced in Jiangli’s heart.
Xiu Shu couldn’t really understand what Jiangli said, “Isn’t that your spiritual bone? Why did your spiritual bone appear here? You don’t know?”
“Mm.” Jiangli held the Five Thunder Talisman, stood up and said impassively, “Forgot. There are many things I can’t rember now.”
Xiu Shu scrutinized Jiangli suspiciously, seeing she was serious, she tentatively said, “Did you lose your mory?”
Jiangli paused, “mory loss? I suppose so.”
Xiu Shu saw that she had lost her mory, so she didn’t probe further. She wasn’t much interested in these matters anyway. She glanced at the ground, at her own body, and asked, “Should we take the body back now?”
Jiangli nodded, “We should definitely take it back, and report to the police.”
Upon hearing police, Xiu Shu’s fingertips tightened montarily, seemingly fearful.
Jiangli, catching her small gesture out of the corner of her eye, could surmise her thoughts, “Your parents wouldn’t think you’re disgraceful, they would only feel heartache.”
Xiu Shu was startled and stamred, “Really?”
Jiangli said, “Though all parents differ, I believe yours must be good parents, at least give them a chance to see you one last ti.”
