Origin of Primordial Heavenly Pearl
After the plane landed, as soon as they left the airport, they saw a bus with a banner that read, "Warmly welcome the students who won the competition back to the university! --Birch University".
Vehicle position is conspicuous, the banner is bright and eye-catching, the crowd can not help but look at the car, can be said to be eye-catching.
One thought on "......"
Qi Ye, who missed the first place again and was depressed all the way, couldn't help his eyes twitching, "Is this the welcome ceremony of Birch University?"
They boarded the bus in a low-key manner, and with each person they boarded, the driver cheerfully pulled a colorful cannon at them.
Jiang Luo, with a head full of glittering shredded paper, sat expressionlessly by the window.
Qi Ye followed and sat down next to him, after fiddling with the pieces of paper on her body, she looked up at the top of Jiang Luo's head, her palms itching, "There are still pieces of paper on your head."
Jiang Luo ruffled his hair, shreds of paper fell from the strands, "Any more?"
Qi Ye shook his head and looked at the strand of white hair on his ear and couldn't help but say, "I've been meaning to ask before, is this strand of white hair specially dyed for you?"
Jiang Luo then remembered the problem of this strand of hair, he glanced at the glass window with a smile on his face, the black-haired young man's ear reflected in the window, the strand of white hair really ran out again, "Wait for these two days, I will find a chance to dye it back."
Qi Ye said awkwardly, "That's kind of nice."
Jiang Luo didn't like it. This strand of white hair was like Chi You's mark on him, as long as he saw it, he could not help but think of that evil spirit. He had been deliberately ignoring this strand of hair, but Qi Ye's reminder made him think of it.
No amount of ignoring will hide it, and you can't cut it, so dye it back.
Qi Ye changed the subject, "You know, you've become quite famous in the metaphysical world."
Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows, "How so?"
Qi Ye looked complicated.
Before he got on the plane, the Qi family's judge teacher called him over, hinting in words that he and Jiang Luo should make more good relations, and that it would be better if they could get Jiang Luo to come and work for their Qi family in the future.
However, Jiang Luo was Feng Li's disciple and already represented the Tianshi Mansion. Qi Ye, despite his bad temperament, was by no means low on the bottom-line principles of being a human being.
The Qi family has been keeping a low profile on the surface in recent years, but in reality, they have been acting more and more boldly and rampantly. This time, even the disciples of the Heavenly Master dared to dig in, what exactly did they want to do?
He said vaguely, "There are a lot of people who want to get to know you, and there are good and bad people among those people, so you don't want to believe whatever people say."
Jiang Luo couldn't help but wonder if he was a fool in Qi Ye's eyes, "In this regard, I think I'm much smarter than you."
Qi Ye: "......"
He was annoyed, "Forget it, I'm not talking to you, you can meet whoever you want."
When he finished, he pulled off his hat and leaned back, his lips tightening in a sulk.
Jiang Luo shrugged, half a pink doll's face peeking out of the backseat, Ye Xun followed suit, "Jiang Luo, are you staying back at school tonight?"
"Go back," Jiang Luo said, "The tournament is all over, and I should return from the Heavenly Master's Palace."
Qi Ye sniffed and couldn't help but perk up her ears.
He had never seen Jiang Luo living in the dormitory since he came to Birch University.
Soon the bus arrived at the school. When the group got off the bus, the others could go back to their dormitories, but Jiang Luo, as the first place winner of the competition, needed to follow Mr. Wan to meet the Dean of the Natural Science and Social Studies program.
Jiang Luo had heard many stories about the dean, but this was the first time he had seen him in person. With curiosity in his heart, he stepped into the dean's office.
In the office, there is a set of office sofas on which two people are sitting, one on the left and the other on the right. One is the white-haired and bearded dean, Xu Dandeng, and the other is a funeral store owner whom Jiang Luo also recognizes.
When Dean Xu saw him coming, his serious face abruptly relaxed, and he laughed aloud with relief, "Elder brother Ji, let me introduce to you, this is the student who got the first place in our school, Feng Heavenly Master's disciple Jiang Luo."
The funeral store owner said breathlessly, "I know you as a student."
Dean Xu wasn't surprised, "You always know a lot of people, when I was trying to get Chi You to come here and be an assistant professor for me, it was only thanks to you that I was able to get in touch with him."
The funeral parlor owner was stunned and warned in a low voice, "Don't mention him again."
"It doesn't matter, Jiang Luo also has some relationship with Chi You, it's nothing to mention Chi You in front of him," the principal waved his hand and looked at Jiang Luo curiously, "I heard from Mr. Wan that after the second level of the tournament, you still wanted to give Chi You a Martyrdom?"
Jiang Luo thought about that time, it was the time when he tried drowning in the bathtub for the first time after he got the yin and yang ring, it wasn't the first time he heard about Mr. Wan's big mouth, he just didn't expect that even the dean knew about it.
Jiang Luo forced a smile, "Right."
The funeral parlor owner looked at him in surprise, "You and Chi You are?"
"We're lovers," Jiang Luo lowered his eyes, his sadness shallow, but like a shadow, "Dean, can you tell me more about Chi You?"
His eyes reddened slightly as he murmured, "I miss him so much."
Dean sighed, "You kid ...... I heard you still want to find out how Chi You died?"
Jiang Luo orthochromatically said, "Yes."
The funeral store owner and Dean looked at each other.
After determining that what Jiang Luo said was not false, the funeral store owner lay down on the sofa and said in a breathless manner, "Chi You surprisingly has this kind of relationship with you ...... No wonder, no wonder ah. No wonder the last time that Primordial Heavenly Pearl just came into my hands, you can notice that the small bead is not right."
Jiang Luo asked, "Boss, what exactly is this Primordial Heavenly Pearl?"
The funeral store owner lazily said, "What, your master hasn't told you yet?"
Jiang Luo shook his head.
The undertaker smiled sarcastically, "Also, I'm afraid that even if the Heavenly Master knew what this was, he wouldn't tell you little doll. But seeing as you and Chi You have a strong relationship, there's no harm in me telling you."
"This Primordial Heavenly Pearl," he said, turning the bead in his hand and chanting "Blessed Being Infinite Heavenly Father," before continuing, "is something that comes from heaven, and there are only four of them in the world. There are only four of them in the world. According to the six great masters, this Primordial Heavenly Pearl is a treasure given by the heavens to help bring back the prosperity of the metaphysical world, seeing that the metaphysical world has declined."
The dean let out a cold laugh and slapped the table heavily, "F*ck him, do you really think that four beads can save the entire metaphysical world?!"
The funeral store owner said, "Don't you interrupt yet."
He looked at Jiang Luo and said quietly, "Yuan denotes the origin of all things in heaven and earth, and has a fundamental meaning. Tian, on the other hand, denotes innate, and these two words together mean innate origin. Let me ask you, have you thought of anything?"
Jiang Luo looked back at the past, you said this in a cloudy way, who can understand what it means?
The funeral store owner added a veiled hint, "Before this natural origin, add the word man."
The innate nature of man.
Jiang Luo has a headache, he presses his brow, suddenly his expression stiffens and he looks up slowly, at the funeral store owner and then at the dean.
"Primordial Heavenly Pearl is made of man's natural essence?"
The dean and the funeral store owner didn't nod or shake their heads, but the look in their eyes already told Jiang Luo the answer.
Born This Way.
Isn't it the human soul?
Jiang Luo's voice was so soft that it sounded like he was afraid of disturbing something, "There are four Primordial Heavenly Pearls, which represent a person whose soul was torn apart and made into a Primordial Heavenly Pearl?"
He instantly remembered the description of Chi You in the original article.
The soul is crippled and in pieces, as if a man had no five senses and no limbs.
Primordial Heavenly Pearl, made from Chi You's soul.

After leaving the dean's office, Jiang Luo walked slowly under the hot sun.
The month of July has already passed, and when I was in western Hunan, I didn't feel the heat, but Birch University is in the middle of the nationally famous "melting pot", and even in August, the sun makes people sweat when they go out.
Jiang Luo was basking in the sun for a while, slowly coming back to his senses from the big shocking secret he had just told.
He didn't think of anything else at the moment, his only thought was that Chi You was so strong even when his soul was incomplete, if he had collected all four Primordial Heavenly Pearls, how strong would he be?
As Jiang Luo once said, death didn't make Chi You weaker, but rather, it seemed to free him from some kind of bondage and made him stronger and more mysterious.
When he is at his strongest, not to mention the entire metaphysical world, Jiang Luo's own safety can not be guaranteed.
Jiang Luo originally appreciated Chi You's character, but nowadays, he is more interested in crushing the pretentious evil spirits under his feet.
He and Chi You were now enemies, and if the enemy became stronger, with that madman's methods, what kind of end Jiang Luo would have, he himself could imagine.
The worst thing that could happen is that Chi You tortured him to the point of death, as in the original text.
But is Jiang Luo willing to be tortured by him?
That's certainly out of the question.
Jiang Luo kicked the stone in front of his feet and watched as it rolled into the grass, he suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
He will never give Chi You a chance to get the rest of the Primordial Heavenly Pearl.
How could Jiang Luo turn down a good thing like adding some trouble to his enemy's path to resurrection?
I'm afraid that after the evil spirit was ruined by him, it would be like he had once pierced through Bai Yefeng's puppet body, and would be on fire but had to suppress and restrain himself.
Jiang Luo stifled a laugh, a slight shiver running down his spine. When he raised his head, he met the eyes of a few birds in the trees.
The birds seemed to be watching him silently all the time, their bean eyes dark, as if they could read Jiang Luo's every move.
The smile on Jiang Luo's lips remains unchanged as he gazes at the birds for a moment, his eyes shifting to the left as a summer cicada on a tree trunk watches him silently.
In the school, Chi You cannot enter because of the feng shui pattern of exorcism, but the little animals controlled by Chi You will not be affected by the feng shui pattern.
Jiang Luo strolled forward and held out his hand toward the bird, which cocked its head and spread its wings to fly onto his fingertips.
"Sweetie," Jiang Luo whispered, "you wouldn't be Chi You the dog, would you?"
The bird didn't move.
Jiang Luo gently touches the feathers of the bird's head with his fingers, but the bird suddenly pecks at the red mole on his left hand, which Jiang Luo quickly chokes.
He skillfully drew out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on the bird, the talisman paper was slightly hot, the bird "squeaked" twice, broke free from the bondage and control, flapped its wings and flew away.
Jiang Luo put away the talisman paper and lazily headed for the dormitory, snickers blown away by the wind, "Peeping Tom."

After the competition, the school gave them a three-day vacation. When Lu Youyi's parents learned that he had been injured on the way to the competition, they chartered a hot spring manor and invited the whole class to rest and relax.
Jiang Luo thoroughly realized how wealthy Lu Youyi was, and he tsked, "Is this the world of the rich?"
Lu Youyi sat on the couch eating chips and urging them to pack quickly, "Actually, our family is just average."
Ge Zhu said heartily, "I beg you not to say anything."
Lu Youyi's parents even sent a car to see them off after they packed their bags and walked out of the school. The three luxury cars were extremely dignified, and ordinary people could only earn a tire money in their whole life. When Jiang Luo got into the car, the ordinary students of Birch University stood in front of the entrance and watched, and some people took out their cell phones and shot videos of them with envy.
Jiang Luo : "...... I finally felt today how happy rich people are."
Lu Youyi sighed sadly, "Money isn't everything, you don't understand the agony of being rich."
Ye Xun : "You can shut up."
The hot spring manor was in the countryside, and they arrived at their destination at two o'clock in the afternoon. The staff in the manor took over their luggage, and the manager of the manor was waiting for them and greeted them warmly.
Lu Youyi hugged the manager and introduced, "This is my cousin."
Uncle Cousin smiled and said, "Hello guys. Everyone enjoy yourselves these days, we have prepared everything, besides the indoor and outdoor hot springs, there are also steam rooms and sauna rooms and massage rooms. Other than that, the entertainment area and theater are next to the restaurant, if you need anything you can just look for the staff, don't be polite."
When he finished, he had other business to attend to and left with hurried feet.
Jiang Luo followed Lu Youyi towards the room, all the way to the outdoor hot spring pool, surprisingly, there really wasn't a single person, "Lu Youyi, did your parents really bag this place?"
Lu Youyi laughed twice, scratched his head, and said in embarrassment, "This is actually my family's property. I was originally embarrassed to tell you guys, but at this moment, I can't help but say it. In fact, this hot spring manor, is not going to be open for business these few days, because something weird happened. My parents wanted me to take a look, but I was afraid that I couldn't handle it alone, so I called you guys here."
Crowd: "......"
Lu Youyi straightened up and said, "We are all acquaintances, it is too polite to give money, this is not, I suggest that I can invite you to play here for free for three days, are you happy? Surprised?"
"......"
Zhu Ge laughs miserably, "Might as well pay for it."
Ye Xun circled his sleeves and said with an expressionless face, "Don't stop me."
Jiang Luo said thoughtfully, "I'll hold Xiao Fen for you."
After violently beating Lu Youyi, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and had the leisure to ask, "What kind of weirdness is going on here?"
Lu Youyi covered his black and blue eyes, "hissed" and huffed cold air, saying, "In the past few nights, some people have heard the sound of music playing in the manor."
"The sound of playing music?"
"Yes," Lu Youyi said, "First there was the sound of lively and festive music, then there was the mournful and sad music. According to those who heard it, it was like ......" He paused and whispered, "the two roads of joy and mourning collided."
