Chapter 283: Fire
Ning Zhe was away, and Xia Yubing was not in the mood to wear a pair of garters and run on the street to suffer the cold. She honestly put on a pair of canvas trousers and followed Versolus to the hypermarket in Port Vivian.
The Vivienne Harbor Hypermarket was formerly a residential market in ancient times. Villagers living nearby would bring their own handicrafts and agricultural products here to exchange refined salt and silver coins with merchants leading camels. Fishermen would also bring their own handicrafts and agricultural products here. The salvaged pearls and seafood came here, and over time they became a large scale.
Today's Vivian Harbor Hypermarket has become a famous international trade center. Many famous brands have opened stores here, including a women's clothing brand named after him run by Versoles, which specializes in swimwear. , underwear, and some intimate bedding. Versolus holds two fashion shows every year in Port Vivian, one underwear show and one swimsuit show, at the beginning and end of summer each year.
The fashion show of Versolus and the jewelry exhibition of Milicato are both famous events in Port Vivian.
"Tomorrow is the last swimsuit show to be held in Port Vivian. It's a pity that the respected Mr. Decker couldn't come because of something else." Forsolus Milicato put one hand in his trouser pocket and shook his head. sigh.
This was the third time that he had mentioned this matter in front of Xia Yubing, intentionally or unintentionally. His tone seemed to be insinuating something, which made her feel inexplicably angry.
Xia Yubing raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Vivian Harbor is sinking, but your brand is still operating, and the models have not retired. The next swimsuit show will still be held in another place, and it can even be more grand, isn't it? ”
Fusolus smiled and shook his head: "Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again. Once some precious things are missed, they will never be seen again, even if they can be picked up again in the distant future. The people and things are no longer the same.”
The implication is that Van Dyke left temporarily because of something, and what he missed was not a model show on the surface, but something more important, or something.
"You might as well speak more clearly." Xia Yubing said solemnly.
"It seems I took the liberty." Fusolus smiled and did not continue.
Xia Yubing really wanted to know what kind of mysterious medicine this guy was selling, but the other party had no intention of going on.
After all, her current identity on the surface is just that she was brought back from Kyushu by Mr. Marquis Van Dyke. She is a conferee who was persecuted by local forces and had no choice but to seek political asylum from the Dyke family. If it weren't for the fact that Ms. Xia seemed to have some intimate relationship with Marquis Van Dyck in private, Fusolus would not waste his precious time on this foreign woman.
After visiting the hypermarket, Xia Yubing went back to the hotel to rest on the pretext that she had something to do. She lay on the bed and wrote down everything she had just witnessed and Fusolus' strange behavior in a notebook, hoping that Ning Zhe would see it soon.
At the same time, Ning Zhe had already got off the plane and was heading to Vanessa Castle.
Castle Vanessa is located at the foot of Monte Berreto, with only one larger town nearby called Brechet. There is no airport in the town. After Fusolus' private plane landed at the nearest airport, Ning Zhe immediately drove along the highway to the town of 'Brechet', abandoned the car there and left.
Using Taiyi's 'change' rules to switch his identity into a flying bird, Ning Zhe flew directly into the Beretto Mountain, which has long been designated as a nature reserve. The Vanessa Castle with a rich historical atmosphere is located at the foot of the mountain.
Flying to the foot of the mountain, Ning Zhe was not in a hurry to go in, because on the way here he had discovered that the road into the mountain had been blocked by roadblocks. From time to time, he could see a police car parked at the intersection, blocking the vehicles on the road. Check next.
Ning Zhe tried to switch to Aurore's identity, pretending to be an ordinary woman passing by, and found a policeman to ask about the situation here. The answer he got was: 'Not long ago, a thief broke into Vanessa Castle and stole the inside. Preserved precious cultural relics, this area has now been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter. ’. "It seems that the Frimmislet family took action and mobilized the police to block the roads around Vanessa Castle." Ning Zhe had a general idea in his mind.
When he parted with Lan Shiwen in the dream, the last words he left were: [The people in the Fulim family already know that I have come in, and their upgraded person is on the way to kill me. 】
——In order to wash away the mental mark, Ning Zhe tried to ask Lan Shiwen to die for him in his dream, triggering death return, but failed. Lan Shiwen's 'save point' was after he was given the mental mark.
Although the spot washing failed, Lan Shiwen, who was alarmed, still found Vanessa Castle and provided Ning Zhe with a vital piece of information through an engraved message, helping him solve the mystery of the 'ghost'.
The arrival of this uninvited guest also alarmed the members of the Frimmislet family.
"The people responsible for sealing Vanessa Castle should be certified or even upgraded, so be careful."
Ning Zhe transformed into a long-tailed tit and stood on the branch of a birch tree. A pale girl with no facial features stood quietly on the treetop a step behind him. She was wearing a wedding dress as red as blood, and the fabric was The golden thread resembles the pattern of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, and between the green-white fingers is an open almanac:
【The twenty-fourth day of the seventh lunar month】
[Suitable for: traveling, visiting relatives, accepting gifts, repairing, making fire,]
[Taboo: buying and selling, burial,]
I was lucky today. I found 5 auspicious items and 2 inauspicious items. And when Ning Zhe flew here with the almanac, two of the 'lucky' items were already triggered.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"Chuo" is a Chinese word unique to the lunar calendar and needs to be explained in two separate words.
"Chu" refers to movement, and "fire" refers to incense, that is, the god's position, or it can also refer to the stove fire or furnace fire for cooking.
Making fire means moving incense burners, plaques, statues and other shrines used to worship gods, or moving earth stoves for cooking at home. In modern households, it means moving rice cookers, induction cookers, and gas stoves for cooking. Something like that can probably be counted?
Now that Ning Zhe is running around with the almanac carrying the summons and rules of the snake god, he is carrying out the auspicious event of "making fire" all the time, and there is no need to find a god to move.
Of course, if one day he recited the almanac and found that "fire" was on the taboo side, Ning Zhe would be unable to move forward.
After adding two buffs to himself, Ning Zhe spread his wings and left the treetops, went into the woods and walked around the hill behind the castle. He avoided multiple checkpoints set up by the police and quietly entered the Vanessa Castle in the real world.
