Chapter 676 7 Heart Tablets 1
The air was filled with the aroma of tea and the scent of sandalwood. The room was dimly lit, and it was in this environment that Zhong Ning woke up.
I opened my eyes and saw a dark-colored table in front of me, covered with various small items.
On the right is a tea tray and exquisite tea set, with steaming hot tea in the teacups.
On the left side of the table is a hollowed-out incense burner, inside which sandalwood incense is burning, and smoke drifts out through the gaps.
In the center of the table was a crystal ball, a tortoise shell, three copper coins, and a compass.
A row of beaded curtains blocked the view in front of the table, and a chair was placed not too far from the table, seemingly for receiving guests.
There were no unnecessary items around the room; the table was the focal point.
The dim light only shone on the table, so even if someone was sitting opposite you, you couldn't see yourself clearly.
She projected her mental energy outwards and found herself in a Chinese courtyard, with black tiles, white walls, arched gates, and corridors.
The courtyard was paved with pebbles, lush with greenery, and featured artificial hills and flowing water.
Zhong Ning looked away and stretched out her hands, two white hands that seemed to glow in the darkness, with red nail polish on them.
On the middle fingers of both hands, she wore gemstone rings of two different shades of red, one dark and one light, and on her right wrist, she wore about a dozen uniquely designed thin silver bracelets.
She was wearing a red outfit with patterns in several other colors, and several strings of beads hung around her neck.
Zhong Ning took out a mirror and looked at herself.
Her long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a red brow pendant and matching earrings.
Her almond-shaped eyes were long and narrow, outlined with red eyeliner; her eyelashes were thick; her nose was straight; and her lips were painted bright red.
His entire face was covered in strange red totems, making it impossible to discern his features.
"Xiao Qi, was the original owner a fortune teller?"
Xiao Qi laughed out loud: "Hahaha, yes, host, you've become a fortune teller this time."
"why are you laughing?"
"Um...it's nothing."
Just as Zhong Ning was about to accept the memories, she heard footsteps coming in. She had no choice but to pick up her teacup, take a sip of tea, and see who it was before proceeding.
The person who came was a girl in her early twenties wearing a black dress. She was pretty and had a slender figure.
She wore no accessories at all, her attire was extremely simple, a stark contrast to the original owner's style.
"Master, our guests have arrived and are now having tea in the reception room."
"Understood. Bring them in in five minutes."
"Okay." After saying that, the girl turned and left.
After everyone left, Zhong Ning propped her head up with her hand and closed her eyes: "Xiao Qi, memories."
"Right away." Xiao Qi nodded.
This time, we've come to the TV series "Seven Hearts," an adventure drama with fantasy elements.
In ancient times, a meteorite fell from the sky, bringing with it a terrifying and mysterious power that wreaked havoc on the world. The great virtuous Bo Yangzi left Xiagu Pass and temporarily sealed it away.
The story revolves around the reappearance of "Xin Jian," a being capable of controlling people's hearts to do evil, who wreaks havoc on humanity once again.
The story revolves around a group of five main characters, each possessing the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. They use these five elements to overcome Xin Jian, forming the Phoenix Squad and embarking on a journey to subdue him.
The original owner, Yun Yuwan, was an orphan who was picked up and adopted by an old witch when she was a child.
Because she often saw her telling fortunes and performing divination, the original owner, having been exposed to this environment since childhood, also learned some divination techniques.
However, neither the old sorceress nor the original owner knew anything beyond the basics; they had some skills, but not many.
But they all have the same characteristic: they are very good at deceiving people, so no one has noticed the problem over the years.
Moreover, both of them have excellent judgment. They would select guests before accepting them, and would not serve those they were not sure about, simply saying that they were not meant to be and asking them to leave on their own.
After the old sorceress passed away, the original owner inherited her mantle and continued to carry it forward; both of them later became masters in the field.
The original owner also took in a disciple, the girl from earlier, whose name is Lin Zhu.
A few years ago, Lin Zhu's parents passed away one after another due to illness. Because she was homeless, she was taken back by the original owner of the body and also learned some divination skills from her.
Yun Yuwan opened her eyes: "Xiao Qi, what side quests are there?"
"Host, the side quest is to become a truly capable master, and also to subdue Xin Jian."
"Okay, please step back."
Two footsteps approached from one behind the other outside the door. Yun Yuwan sat up straight, her eyes lowered to maintain an air of mystery.
"Mr. Li, please come in." Lin Zhu's voice came from the doorway.
A middle-aged male voice replied, "Okay, thank you."
In the original owner's memories, this Mr. Li was the owner of a small to medium-sized enterprise.
An elderly person in his family passed away recently, and then he noticed that his business was starting to decline. Through a friend's introduction, he came to have his future fortune told, hoping to improve the situation.
Following Lin Zhu's directions, Boss Li sat down opposite Yun Yuwan, his expression somewhat obsequious: "Master Yun, hello."
Yun Yu nodded. Following the original owner's memory, she didn't look up at him, but pointed to the crystal ball: "Put your hand on it."
"Okay, okay." Mr. Li couldn't see the master's face clearly, but judging from his voice and the atmosphere of the room, he felt a great deal of mystery.
He placed his hand on that crystal ball, which looked to be made of an unusual material. But if it was just a ball, how could it be used for divination? Wasn't that a bit far-fetched?
I was startled as soon as I put my hand on it, because the crystal ball suddenly emitted purple smoke.
This is definitely not an effect that can be created with lighting; it looks like it's really overflowing from inside.
This instantly calmed Mr. Li's initially uneasy and hesitant mood, thanks to this mysterious object.
Sang Yuwan closed her eyes, thinking that the old witch and the original owner had put a lot of thought into their tricks to fool people.
No wonder he's been able to fool so many people and has made a lot of money over the years.
As for the smoke coming out of the crystal ball, it's because there's a mechanism underneath; once the mechanism is activated, the smoke will drift out.
The room was dimly lit and had a well-created atmosphere, so guests couldn't see anything wrong and even found it amazing.
After thinking it over, Sang Yuwan realized that if she wanted to be a real master, she should improve the original owner's equipment and put away all the fakes.
Seeing that Mr. Li was staring at the crystal ball, she opened her eyes and glanced at him, and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Xiao Qi, how come this world is also filled with supernatural phenomena?"
Mr. Li had a ghostly aura about him, which meant that something was following him.
She concealed her presence and waited a while before a dark figure floated in, circling around Boss Li while muttering something.
Xiao Qi explained, "Host, this is a world derived from a TV series. Just because the plot doesn't mention it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, it's a fantasy series to begin with, so it's not a problem to include supernatural elements."
“What you said makes some sense.” Sang Yuwan nodded, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration; she had found a direction to complete the task.
