Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 35 Nine Bells
"Hmm?" Zhao Wumian looked at the relic. It was purple and glowing faintly, like a night pearl.

Strictly speaking, this relic cannot be called the secret treasure of Xiaoxitian. To be more specific, it should be called a "secret treasure detector."

This world is not as "low-level" as Zhao Wumian thought. On the contrary, some things are very mysterious. For example, the real secret treasure of Xiao Xitian is the Pearl Relic Pagoda. As long as you get close to a distance of ten feet, the evil things such as poison and evil spirits in the body will disappear. But the most important effect is that it can help warriors communicate with the bridge between heaven and earth.

Just like playing a game, restricted by the version, no matter how many monsters you kill, you can only level up to level 80. But if you have the Pearl Relic Pagoda, you can unlock the level cap... which is the bridge connecting heaven and earth.

Others, like relying on it to comprehend the world and learn martial arts, can also be considered a type of usage. For example, Guan Yunshu's internal energy is unique in suppressing toxins and detoxifying. It incorporates the characteristics of the Pearl Relic Pagoda and is the top internal energy that the founder of Xiaoxitian learned from the Pearl Relic Pagoda.

There are nine secret treasures like the Pearl Relic Pagoda in this world. Because each secret treasure has a different style and function, and the first secret treasure known to the public is a bronze bell, the secret treasures that appeared later are collectively called the "Nine Bells", meaning that the bronze bell is the "Lord of the Nine Bells".

The so-called "the rhythm changes in the three autumn festivals, and the air responds to the nine bells of frost" means that if someone can gather all nine bells, he can call the wind and rain, change the seasons, and even ascend to heaven and become an immortal.

Of course, these are just rumors circulating among the people. In fact, no one in history has ever been able to collect all nine bells... Maybe there is, but at least there is no record of it in history books.

There is no shortage of amazing people in this world, the so-called heroes in the world are like the nobles crossing the river. There are also some geniuses who can communicate with the bridge of heaven and earth even without relying on this secret treasure, but the majority of people in the world are ordinary people. Jiu Zhong is their only hope to communicate with the bridge of heaven and earth. Therefore, whenever he appears, there will be a bloody storm in the world.

The reason why the three major sects are the three major sects is because each of them controls one bell, and the other six bells are scattered all over the world, and no one knows who holds them... If you have such a secret treasure, of course you will hide it and hold on to it until you grow up to be the best in the world.

However, Guan Yunshu guessed that the imperial court should have one, but he didn't know the style.

And this relic is the product of a warrior who built the bridge between heaven and earth in Xiaoxitian a hundred years ago. Because he had comprehended at least five of the Nine Bells at close range during his lifetime and gained something, the aura of the Five Nine Bells had already been engraved in his meridians and dantian. Therefore, when it comes close to things containing the aura of the Five Nine Bells, it will react... that is, it will glow.

The reaction to Zhao Wumian meant that Zhao Wumian had come into close contact with one of the five nine bells, and even felt it carefully... but the time of feeling it must not have been long, otherwise the relic would probably have flown away on the spot.

Thinking of this, even Guan Yunshu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Even if this relic was not the Nine Bells, the fact that it could be found to be the Nine Bells was enough to drive everyone in the world crazy... However, very few people knew that the relic had such a wonderful use. Even Tu Ziling, who stole it, probably didn't know it.

Should I tell Zhao Wumian about this? Will he kill someone for this treasure?

It is true that Guan Yunshu admires Zhao Wumian, but this matter is too serious, and even someone as easy-going and free-spirited as her can't help but feel a little conflicted.

But Zhao Wumian casually threw the relic to Guan Yunshu.

Guan Yunshu was startled and caught it in a somewhat awkward manner. The faint light on the relic suddenly disappeared, and in the blink of an eye it looked ordinary.

"Really? It doesn't shine anymore in your hands." Zhao Wumian was slightly amazed. "You guys in Xiao Xitian still have something."

Guan Yunshu was silent for a while and did not answer. Although Zhao Wumian was ignorant, she looked very scheming in such a bright and clear manner. So she stroked the relic with her small hand and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you know the bridge between heaven and earth?"

Guan Yunshu's tone was so serious that Zhao Wumian couldn't help but sit up straight. "I know...what's wrong?"

"What should you do if you are unable to build the bridge between heaven and earth?"

Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows slightly, "Practicing martial arts is to learn the courage to move forward. How can you feel sorry for yourself before you even try?"

"What if?"

"I am now on the run, and I have to spend at least two hours every day practicing martial arts." Zhao Wumian held up two fingers, "With self-discipline, hard work, and talent, I will break through the barrier of the bridge between heaven and earth sooner or later."

Guan Yunshu blinked, then suddenly chuckled, covering her lips with the back of her hand. She must have been a little unconvinced, so she said, "There are countless warriors as confident and hardworking as you in the world, but there are less than ten people in this generation who can break through the bridge between heaven and earth."

Zhao Wumian pointed at himself and said, "Soon there will be another warrior who can connect the bridge between heaven and earth..."

After a slight pause, Zhao Wumian pointed at Guan Yunshu and said with a smile, "There should be two more."

Guan Yunshu stopped smiling. She looked into Zhao Wumian's eyes... Those eyes, as clear as the autumn sky, stared at Zhao Wumian for a long time.

"Thank you," she said.

"You gave me a lot of thanks tonight."

Zhao Wumian had comprehended the Nine Bells before. Was it because Taixuan Palace had one of the Nine Bells? Or was it just a coincidence?
Guan Yunshu was more inclined to the latter. First, she was still unsure whether Zhao Wumian was related to Taixuan Palace. Second, the Nine Bells were too precious. Normally, only the Palace Master of Taixuan Palace was qualified to comprehend beside him... and as far as she knew, the Palace Master of Taixuan Palace was a woman. Therefore, Guan Yunshu fell silent again. Xiaoxitian still had a few relics like the one in hand, but at present, she knew that Zhao Wumian was probably the only one who could find the opportunity of the Nine Bells.

Suddenly, Guan Yunshu asked, "Will you promise me something?"

"I'll give you two as you like. I still owe you two favors."

"It's fine if those two favors are written off, I just hope you can agree to this," Guan Yunshu shook his head slightly, "I will give you this relic, and I will explain to Xiao Xitian myself. You can't let anyone know the existence of this relic... not even Luo Chaoyan and Su Qingqi."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, looking at Guan Yunshu's serious expression, he said: "You will explain yourself...Do you mean you want to violate the rules and deceive the sect, or do you mean you are willing to accept the punishment?"

Guan Yunshu's heart trembled slightly. He didn't expect Zhao Wumian's first reaction to be this.

She didn't know if her voice was filled with joy, and asked, "Why?"

"You have been able to stick to not telling lies for your entire life. That's amazing. I admire you. But how can I let you break your own principles because of me?"

Hearing this, Guan Yunshu was silent for a long time before he shook his head slightly, "You don't have to worry."

After that, she explained the magical use of this relic.

After listening, Zhao Wumian suddenly stood up and paced back and forth. He had a hunch that the cause of his death might be related to Jiu Zhong... This might be the key clue for him to find his previous identity.

I turned my head and looked out the window. The dark night outside had already shown some sunlight...it was almost dawn.

Zhao Wumian looked back at Guan Yunshu and said seriously, "This relic is indeed very important to me, so I won't refuse... If I can find the Nine Bells because of this, I will definitely not forget Miss Guan's friendship, and the Nine Bells will be ours together. If you want it, you can just take it back to Xiaoxitian."

Compared with Jiu Zhong, Zhao Wumian cared more about his own identity. The relic from Guan Yunshu was like timely help, solving his urgent problem. Moreover, the relic itself was extremely precious... He naturally knew why Guan Yunshu gave him the relic, and he could also distinguish right from wrong and grudges.

Guan Yunshu took a deep breath and said slowly: "As a disciple of Xiao Xitian, I shouldn't give such a treasure to you, a stranger who I have met three times. But firstly, I owe you for letting You Junwu escape, and secondly, I have plans for Jiuzhong... You are bright and elegant, but I am too worldly."

Zhao Wumian laughed, "A gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. Let alone you, I probably couldn't control myself after seeing Jiu Zhong. But this time it's obvious that I got the advantage. Miss Guan, please continue to remember those two favors. If you have anything else to ask of me, I will do my best to help you."

Guan Yunshu hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he had taken advantage, so he shook his head slightly, "It's just a favor. As for the ownership of the Nine Bells... let's discuss it later."

Zhao Wumian did not refute again, and drew out the long sword from his waist, holding the scabbard and placing it horizontally in front of Guan Yunshu, "This sword has a special fragrance that only Snow Owl can smell, you take it, I already know the location of Qianlima, I will go back and discuss it with them and let Snow Owl notify you, most likely we will sneak into the Prince Jin's Mansion in the evening, you should be prepared."

Guan Yunshu silently took the sword, but saw that Zhao Wumian had already picked up his hat and put it on, and was about to leave.

"Young master stay."

"Huh?" Zhao Wumian looked back.

"Give me the Canghua Order." Guan Yunshu stretched out her white and tender little hand towards Zhao Wumian.

"What for?" Zhao Wumian took out the token and handed it to her.

Guan Yunshu gathered his true energy with his fingertips, drew a few strokes on the token, and handed it to Zhao Wumian. At a glance, there were two crudely drawn kittens on the token... The kittens had pouting mouths and didn't look happy at all.

"You said you forget things quickly." Guan Yunshu raised her little face and looked at Zhao Wumian, saying, "Don't forget me. I'll draw two kittens on the Cang Hua Ling to prove that you owed me two favors and I've repaid them now. Is that okay?"

Zhao Wumian stared at the kitten on the token for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Okay."

After that, Zhao Wumian gently tossed the relic again, and smiled confidently at Guan Yunshu, "Self-discipline, hard work, talent, and now the opportunity has come. It seems that it is a foregone conclusion that the two of us will break through the bridge of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, Guan Yunshu chuckled again.

Guan Yunshu seldom laughs, but he broke the rules twice tonight and laughed quite a few times.
