1011 Insect Manipulation

he least well-maintained rooms in a house. Young people rarely cook themselves, and wealthy people even more so avoid getting their hands dirty. Therefore, kitchen furnishings are often neglected.Many...The seal, this is something only the Empress and Imperial Dowager can use; the rest of the people can only use stamps.

Generally, the seals used by emperors and empresses were adorned with symbols like dragons and phoenixes. Moreover, only the emperor and empress were permitted to use jade as the material for their seals.

The previous national jade seal was 24 square, the Qing Dynasty seemed to have changed it to 25 square, but no matter how big or small, the jade seal's status was supreme.

This jade seal is obviously different from the one I saw on the computer encyclopedia.

It was square and just fit in my palm. Instead of the usual carved dragon (or phoenix) knob on top, there were two strange symbols.

On the handheld jade button, there are two quaint and simple irregular spherical shapes.

It is said that jade, flawless and pure, is worth a kingdom's wealth.

But of the two spheres, one had a black mottled pattern, resembling a cluster of black sesame seeds; the other was mostly pure jade color, but around its waist there was a ring of black floral patterns.

This is all impurities, right Such jade should be considered flawed, shouldn't it

However, being placed in this large box of glittering objects, this jade seal should be a very "meaningful" and valuable item.

I couldn't help but take it to the desk and turn on the lamp to examine it carefully.

The four sides of this jade seal are carved with four totems.

Just look at these archaic lines of the carvings, and you can tell how old this jade seal is.

The older a belief system gets, the simpler its totems become.

"Aling, what animal is the totem of your Wuzhu clan" I asked turning back.

Alan was sprawled on the edge of the crate, figuring out how much these treasures were worth.

Upon hearing my question, he raised his head and said: “We sacrifice to heaven and earth, also to the ancient gods Donghuang Taiyi, the ten witch ancestors of Ling Shan, and a mythical beast from ancient times. If we're talking about totemism, it's the sun and moon plus the Azure Dragon, the leader of the four sacred beasts... Didn't you see our flags in Wuwang City”

I'm sweating buckets, I really didn't pay attention to it.

I'm truly ashamed, ashamed.

"Is this jade seal the Great Shaman King's"

"No... The King's seal wouldn't be given out so easily. It's used for giving orders and official documents." Ah Liang wasn't particularly interested in the seal.

"So this seal is just an ordinary antique Then I'll feel better about taking it."

I always felt like this box was unusually heavy, but I didn't want to completely turn it upside down in front of Albert.

Although Aling is a trustworthy person, he is after all an outsider.

When Muk Wan-chen arrives, I'll ask him in detail. Perhaps he gave me more than just a box of precious gold, jade, and jewels.

I remember the junior wife once said that Master was always out and about, rarely seen.

The phrase "appearing and disappearing like a ghost" perfectly describes Master's unpredictable movements.

Mu Wanchen is about the same. His schedule is pretty fixed, rising with the sun and setting with it. At the beginning of the fourth watch (around 5 a.m.), he disappears, and then reappears around the seventh watch (around 5 p.m.).

This way of calculating, he started from 5 AM, to almost 7 PM "off work".

I plan to go home and rest for two days, then move back to the Witch King's City, but he suddenly sent me this box filled with valuable items. This makes me a little unsure of his intentions.

The moment he appeared outside the screen, I immediately put down my phone and came out to greet him.

"Didn't you say you were going back to the Wuzhang City How did you get Ah Liang to transport so many valuable items So much gold, silver, jade... not to mention their value, they are all antique items, right Those hundreds of pieces of Lin Zhi Gold, even in an emperor's tomb, there probably wouldn't be that much! Why bring them to me"

I have some urgent questions.

Mu Wanchen smiled: "What Is having a lot of money too hot to handle"

"Isn't that right! I'm so scared of thieves now, but the box is so heavy, where should I hide it Maybe I should make an appointment for a basement vault at the bank..." I dragged him into the inner room.

The other jewelry and precious stones were all in the box, only that jade seal was kept by me on my hand.

"What is the origin of this jade seal I found it among these jade ornaments. How could such a valuable thing be given to me" I looked up at him.

Mu Wanchen lowered his eyes and reached out to take the jade seal. His slender, powerful fingers gently rubbed over the intricate patterns.

"It's for you. It doesn't mean anything special, but it's the most precious thing I have." His voice was flat, with a hint of elusive sorrow.

...I felt it.

"Why give me the most valuable thing What if I lose it..." I muttered, grumbling at him.

Mu Wanchen let out a light chuckle: "This is my most prized possession, naturally I would give it to my precious wife."

I blushed a little and glared at him.

“......If these things can't be given to you, I really don't know who else to give them to.” He let out a slow sigh: "Little Lu'er, you can do whatever you want with those gold, silver, and jewels. ...But only this jade seal, you must keep it safe."

"This... does it have any special meaning" I carefully lifted the jade seal.

"It's useless knowing anyway. This jade seal has probably lost its power and can only exist as an object of faith..."

He let out a soft sigh, reached down and pulled me onto his lap, his voice low and gentle.

“Look here, above the button are two orbs. These are the embodiments of Solar Brightness and Lunar Subdueness.”

The sun shines brightly, the moon glows dimly.

This is the ancient and archaic "Sacred Spirit" of the "Great Dao".

Legend has it that the chaotic primal qi transformed into the Two Principles.

The essence of the sun's yang qi, the sun's refinement, is what illuminates the sun.

The dark essence, the essence of the Taiyin, is the Taiyin's dim glow.

Yin and Yang are born as two principles, the two principles interact to give rise to four images, four images generate eight trigrams, and eight trigrams evolve into all things.

I understand this to be the most original and primitive worship of sun and moon.

"...So, on the surface of this jade seal there is a 'black' sun, and a circle of 'fluorescent' moon. Below are the four sacred beasts. This kind of seal was used by no one, it was simply a symbol of faith."

"But, faith is precisely what supports the backbone of a race..."

He let out a soft sigh, enveloping my hand with his and settling the jade seal comfortably in my palm.

"... You only think this jade seal is special You didn't even look at the box of gold and jewels" he asked me with a smile.

"Wow!" I pouted. "You brought all your family fortune here Those gold ingots, each one weighs half a jin, and there are hundreds in this chest! According to today's prices, that's worth tens of millions..."

"And these jadeite stones, the prices are even harder to say... Plus, these rough and tumbled transparent stones, are they diamonds You're just piling them up like you're selling quail eggs."

I chattered away, calculating this pile of "wealth." Mu Wanchen supported my waist with one hand and propped his chin on the table with the other, smiling as he listened to me count.

"These things don't really mean much to me anymore. I might as well give them to you and let you decide what to do with them." He said with a light smile.

"What should I do with it Can I just spend it" I asked, tilting my head.

Of course.

"Master Yunfan said, in our yin-yang circle spending money is also eliminating karma. I just donated it."

"That's fine."

"Come on, that's not challenging at all. Can't you just say 'no' This is your bottom line, isn't it"o hide us temporarily.The uncle was very efficient. He brought a jeep, and the trunk had a box of water, as well as instant hot pot and some biscuits."Sigh~ Now that it's a peaceful society, you don'...
