163 Does not seem right.

The environment in the store seemed to undergo a subtle change all of a sudden, but it disappeared in an instant.
Summer Xingchen is coming and going too fast to catch.
All of a sudden, that pitch-black iron lump emitted a sharp gleam.
Lü Guanglin and Xia Xingchen were so startled that they quickly took a big step back.
Lü Guanglin exclaimed in fear, "It...it, it, did we just see things?" He couldn't help but doubt himself, "Did it just emit a murderous intent?!!"
Lv Guanglin has started to stutter and his gaze even appears a bit confused.
Xia Xingchen hangs his gaze, staring at the iron knot, and his long eyelashes cast a layer of shadow beneath his lowered eyes.
Listening to Lu Guanglin's words, he didn't raise his head for a while.
His voice was deep, his eyes were dim, and he said, "Hmm, this thing is very evil. In that moment just now, it wanted our lives!"
Lv Guanglin scrutinized Xia Xingchen, not missing any expression on his face.
The suspense in his heart grew even more when he confirmed that the other party was not joking with him.
So, what exactly did he bring back???
"Do you really not know what this thing is?" Lv Guanglin half seriously and half suspiciously asked.
Summer Xingchen shook his head again and said, "I don't know, but this thing is very mysterious!" Then he curiously asked, "Where did you find it and why did you bring it as a treasure?"
Speaking of this, Lv Guanglin's expression was somewhat complicated, and he sighed deeply, "How can I put it, this thing actually saved my life back then."
Xia Xingchen: "?????"
There seems to be a story here~
"We went down to an underground tomb that had been looted before. I got separated from the group and accidentally ran into a group of black scorpions. I stumbled into a side chamber and encountered this."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the iron knot on the table, with a slightly unnatural expression.
Perhaps he was reminded of the thrilling scene just now, and his expression became a bit fearful.
Xia Xingchen didn't inquire further about his situation in the tomb, but instead looked back at the things on the table.
After a long silence, he finally spoke and said, "This... should be specifically used to collect ghost souls when living people are sacrificed and refined."
Upon hearing this eerie use of the iron lump, Lv Guanglin couldn't help but step back.
"I don't know why, but I unconsciously brought it back at that time..."
"If he had known it was something like this, he would have avoided it long ago."
He seemed to be very scared of those black beetles and avoided walking around the dark lump of iron, but he unconsciously walked towards it.
And when he picked up the iron lump, those black beetles were no longer daring to chase after him.
自从他手上拿着那东西后，在那处地下墓基本能放心地行走，遇到一些不知名的生物都不敢近他身。
也是多亏了那物，他们那一行人后来才平安地从墓地里走了出来。
It's just strange that, even though everyone is knowledgeable, no one can tell what that iron lump is.
All they know is that it seems powerful, making things underground fear it, so they all think it must be a treasure.
Lv Guanglin also thought so at the time, so he happily put it away.
He thought he had found some extraordinary cultural relics, so he couldn't wait to ask Xia Xingchen to help him take a look after he came back.
I just didn't expect... This iron lump is not only not a treasure, but also an extremely evil object that can't be more evil.
Lu Guanglin's face turned dark, staring at the iron lump for a long time without saying a word.
His rotten fate, how did he end up attracting this kind of thing???
"Well... Brother Xia, you see, this thing... how should we handle it properly?" Lu Guanglin is currently very regretful that he can't recognize valuable items but still dares to bring this kind of thing along.
But frustrations must be dealt with.
Thinking about it, this is his tribulation.
Fate is a mysterious thing that can't be explained, avoided, or bypassed.
After contemplating for a moment, Xia Xingchen said, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence either."
"Lü Guanglin immediately had a mournful expression on his face and his tone carried a hint of pleading, 'Please, you must help me, brother. I'm willing to pay any price.'"
"Now he only believes in Xia Xingchen."
"Did anything strange happen or did you have any weird dreams during the time you had this thing?" Xia Xingchen suddenly asked.
"No," Lv Guanglin shook his head and answered without thinking.
These days he should eat and drink, and his daily routine should remain normal as usual.
He even sleeps without dreams, feeling better than ever.
Suddenly, Lv Guanglin raised his head in panic and said hastily, "No, there is indeed something strange."
Xia Xingchen looked over curiously, looking forward to what he was about to say next.
Seeing Lv Guanglin in a panic, he said, "These days, I have been sleeping until dawn!"
Xia Xingchen looked confused, "???".
So, what's this weird thing?
Isn't it supposed to be waking up in the morning after a good sleep?!!
Seeing Xia Xingchen's confusion, Lv Guanglin quickly explained, "Ah, you don't know, I've had a problem since I was young."
原来吕广林的毛病就是，每晚睡到凌晨四点十分的时候都会被惊醒。
这个习惯从小到大一直伴随着他，雷打不动。
精准到就算喝得酩酊大醉，或是吃了安眠药都没有用。
At the moment when the time comes, he will still wake up when he should, and every minute and second cannot be delayed.
Xia Xingchen was slightly startled by the small earthquake and thought to himself, "The world is really full of wonders."
I didn't expect that there would be such strange things. I've heard about it today and it can be considered as broadening my horizons.
However, based on this information alone, he cannot determine what the iron knot is trying to do and what it is used for.
Lv Guanglin saw him constantly shaking his head, and his already ugly face became even more obese.
It's really "one thin hides a hundred ugly, a fat face ruins everything!"
"Let me take it back to the teahouse first, and I won't be able to spot any problems for a while." Xia Xingchen said.
Lv Guanglin's eyes light up as he quickly hands a wooden box to Xia Xingchen, saying, "Take it, take it. If you like it, you can keep it."
He is now eager to avoid it and doesn't even want to touch this thing.
I don't want to see this thing anymore.
The other party's divine operation made Xia Xingchen cry and laugh, and he took the iron knot and put it into the wooden box.
After dinner, Xia Xingchen returned to the teahouse, and when he was ready to leave, Lv Guanglin kept pushing and finally managed to get a talisman from Xia Xingchen before letting him go.
When they returned to the tea house, it was already past 7 o'clock in the evening.
As soon as Xia Xingchen stepped into the tea house, Ji Yue couldn't help but furrow her brows. Her gaze was fixed directly on Xia Xingchen.
Accurately speaking, it is the thing in the wooden box in Xia Xingchen's hand that she is looking at.
Because Xia Xingchen is currently holding something that makes her feel very uncomfortable...
She didn't go forward immediately, but stood far away and watched, without leaving.
Xia Xingchen was busy with Wu Wenli's leaving tonight and didn't notice anything unusual about Ji Yue.
He placed the wooden box on the corner of the table and ignored it, planning to study it after sending Wu Wenli away tonight.
At around midnight in the evening, Xia Xingchen released Wu Wenli's soul from the wooden plaque.
Wu Wenli bowed slightly and sat down obediently, expressing her gratitude.
Xia Xingchen smiled faintly and poured a cup of tea, which was already brewed, into a flower-shaped tea cup. "Drink up and leave, the person picking you up has arrived."
Wu Wenli nodded without hesitation or reluctance, and lifted the teacup to her lips, downing it in one gulp.
As Wu Wenli left, Xia Xingchen's gaze followed her until the door, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
Why not?
