Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 298: Jade Tablet
Chu Luo stopped in her tracks and turned around.
It was a skinny boy with a lunch box in his hand.
“Chu Luo!”
When the boy saw Chu Luo, he was clearly a little surprised. He subconsciously accelerated his pace and walked over. He asked doubtfully, “Are you Chu Luo?”
Chu Luo nodded. “Ya.”
“Why are you here in our archaeology department? Are you here to take photos too?”
The buildings in the Archaeological College are very unique and ancient. Many students from other campuses like to come and take pictures.
The boy added, “You can take photos, but everyone takes photos up front. You are not allowed to take photos here.”
“No,” said Chu Luo. “I came with a professor from the department of ancient languages last time. I heard from your professor that there are many antiques from various dynasties here. I happen to be here today, so I want to go in and see it.”
He widened his big, sparkling eyes and asked expectantly, “Can I see it?”
“Erm ..” The boy looked Chu Luo in the eye and could not resist. “You can see, but you can't touch. A lot of our antiques are broken. Some are being repaired. If you touch it, all efforts will be in vain.”
“OK, I promise not to touch anything.”
After Chu Luo promised this, the boy brought her into the room in front.
Chu Luo pointed to the second room on the left. “Come go to this one.”
The boy nodded and opened the room.
As Chu Luo followed him, she asked, “Did the antiques inside come from the National Museum of Ancient Artifacts, or did the professors go to the tomb to retrieve them?”
“They were basically brought back by the professors who followed the national archaeological team to the tomb.”
They both walked into the room.
Indeed, many items were damaged, with some parts missing.
The boy pointed at some ancient items in the glass cabinet that looked more complete and said, “It was fixed by our faculty professor.”
Chu Luo walked over and stood in front of the glass cabinet. There were large antiques, small tobacco bottles, and copper coins inside.
After looking at them for a while, he pointed to the porcelain bottle and asked, “I don't know what's wrong with that porcelain bottle.”
“The porcelain bottle broke at the bottom. It is impossible to say.”
Chu Luo nodded and looked elsewhere.
There's a desk on the right. It was at least two meters long and there were several items of varying sizes placed on it. Chu Luo's gaze was fixed on the white jade tablet carved with two dragons playing with beads.
Almost the entire white jade tablet was solid, but the two dragons playing with beads on it were hollow.
This jade tablet was obviously expensive, but most of the heads of one of the dragons had been damaged, and the bead in the middle was no longer there either.
Chu Luo looked at the jade tablet and a voice sounded in her mind. “Help me, help me.”
Hearing this voice, Chu Luo involuntarily walked a little closer.
“Chu Luo, don't get too close to that side. The things on it are important. Professor instructed us not to touch them.”
Just as the boy finished speaking, the lights on the workbench suddenly went out.
“Eh? What the hell is going on?”
The boy wanted to go and see the lights.
“Wait.”
As Chu Luo spoke, the entire room turned pitch-black.
“What ... what happened?”
The boy was surprised. “It's clear daylight. Why dark?”
As he spoke, he wanted to walk towards the door.
Chu Luo stood there without moving. His eyes were still on the work desk. At this moment, the jade tablet on the worktable emitted a faint light.
Chu Luo raised her arm and dropped the boy who was walking towards the door.
Then, he looked at the shining jade tablet.
The voice in his mind sounded again. “Help me find my incomplete parts and take my bead and I will fulfill your wish.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo sneered. “I can fulfill my own wishes. Why should I let you fulfill it?"
After he said that, a red light quickly erupted from his body. The red light instantly illuminated the entire room and formed a barrier.
“You are actually from the Phoenix Clan!”
“No, Phoenix is just my intrinsic beast.”
“How is it possible? A phoenix was extremely proud. How could it possibly be your intrinsic beast!”
After this sound ended, a gust of strong wind suddenly blew into the room.
Chu Luo narrowed her eyes at the wind. Then, a faintly visible dragon appeared in front of him.
Chu Luo looked at the dragon in front of her who could not maintain its shape at all and frowned. A strange premonition suddenly surged in his heart. “Where are you from?”
“I am the guardian beast of the Imperial Tomb of Emperor Yan. Eighteen years ago, a group of grave robbers broke into the Imperial Mausoleum. At the same time, they destroyed my original body, making me unable to protect that Imperial Mausoleum with such powerful energy.”.
“Wait.”
Chu Luo stopped him and frowned. “Why 18 years ago again?”
When the jade dragon heard this, a gust of strong wind blew into the room. He looks very angry.
“The tomb raiders were actually looking for the Imperial Mausoleum next to the Imperial Mausoleum of Yan.”
“That Imperial Tomb is next to the Imperial Mausoleum of Yan?”
“Accurate once. That Imperial Tomb had always been close to the Yan Imperial Mausoleum. One that the grave robbers had actually entered was the Yan Empire Mausoleum. Everyone who entered the Imperial Mausoleum was dead. Then, the Imperial Mausoleum disappeared.
My missing piece disappeared from the Imperial Tomb.”
When Chu Luo heard this, the frown on her forehead deepened. “How did living things appear 18 years ago?”
“They are protected by my real body.”
Chu Luo finally thought of what she was unable to understand earlier and asked, “Since disappearing, how can I help you find her?”
“I can feel that the Imperial Mausoleum has appeared again.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and stopped talking.
The jade dragon was a little anxious. “A powerful curse is placed on that Imperial Mausoleum. In these thousands of years, he had formed an extremely powerful bad aura. Those who enter will never return.”
“Isn't that good?” Chu Luo also did not want anyone to enter the tomb.
“Do you really think it's good? I heard from the people here that they have discovered the location of the Imperial Mausoleum. When the time comes, they will all go there. Also, the temptation inside was too great. Can you guarantee that the people you care about won't leave?
You have the same aura as the Imperial Mausoleum on you. I can feel it. Only you can help me take away my incomplete body parts. If you want to go down to that tomb, you must take me so that you can escape unscathed.”
Chu Luo frowned even more.
At that time, Phoenix told him, “Mistress, someone will come here.”
Chu Luo thought for a moment and said to the jade dragon, “Restore this place to normal.”
With a flash of light, the room became bright again.
Chu Luo looked at the jade tablet and raised her hand.
The jade tablet flew into his hand.
Chu Luo stuffed the jade tablet into the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and used a spell to restore all the antiques that had been shattered by the wind caused by the jade dragon before bringing up the identical jade tablet to be placed there.
After he did all this, the fainted boy opened his eyes.
Chu Luo turned around and asked him, “Why did you suddenly fall unconscious?”
The boy did not have any memories from earlier. He got up from the ground awkwardly and said shyly, “Maybe it was because I had been sleep deprived these few days. My blood sugar is low now.”
Actually, he had been playing the game all night for a few nights.
Chu Luo nodded. “Then quickly return to the dormitory to rest.”
As Chu Luo finished speaking, footsteps came from the outer courtyard.
Then, the door was pushed open. A professor stood by the door and asked, “Why are you here?”
“Professor Chen.”
The boy said to the professor standing by the door, “Chu Luo wanted to see him, so I brought him here.”
Professor Chen looked at Chu Luo and asked with a smile, “Is Chu Luo interested in our archaeological department?”
Chu Luo nodded. “I've always wanted to see how the antiques here are repaired, so I came at noon to see it.”
Professor Chen was obviously a warm person and had a good impression of Chu Luo. He said, “You can ask me if you want to know something. Yang Jun is just a cheat.”
Professor Chen pointed to Chu Luo. “Chu Luo, what do you want to know? I'll tell you.”
Chu Luo followed him to the worktable and pointed to the jade tablet. “Why did the jade tablet lose such a large part? Can it be fixed?”
“As long as we can find the missing part, we can definitely fix it.”
“Betulkah? Then will it be exactly the same after it is fixed?”
“Haha, it will definitely be a little different than before. After all, the repair will not be perfect.”
Chu Luo was slightly disappointed. “It's true.”
“But if one does not look at it carefully, there should be no problem with it inside the storefront for others to see. This jade tablet was actually a very expensive antique. If not for the missing piece, it would definitely be placed in the National Museum.”
Professor Chen and Chu Luo talked about the origin of the jade tablet for a while. Chu Luo listened seriously and occasionally asked a question or two.
Yang Jun, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but complain in his heart: ‘Who is actually your student?!’
Professor Chen only let Chu Luo go when the class was about to begin.
After class in the afternoon, Chu Luo had just walked out of the classroom when she received a call from Li Yan.
Li Yan said to him by phone, “Luoluo, I will come to school to pick you up later.”
Chu Luo felt a bit strange. He clearly said in the morning that he did not need to pick her up. Despite this, he did not mind. He said, “Then I will wait for you outside of school.”
Unexpectedly, Li Yan said, “No need. I'll come to school to pick you up.”
Chu Luo was even more confused. She plans to see what she wants to do later, so she replies with “Mm.”
After hanging up the phone, he continued walking downstairs.
As soon as he walked out of the school building, he was stopped by someone.
“Chu Luo.”
