Acai's Sky

The scent of ink wafted through the study, but Feiyue drooled over the inkstone: "It's like black sesame paste..."

The ink in the inkstone suddenly rippled, reflecting the broken blade in the sword pool. The red rope on the blade echoed the knot at the end of the gold ingot in Chapter 3.

Before he finished speaking, the purple hair on the pen holder suddenly turned into a silver snake.

The patterns on the snake's scales matched the twenty-eight constellations, and as the snake's tongue moved in and out, it flung out golden melon seeds - these were the phosphorus fire that Jin Yuanbao had secretly stored before.

Just as Brahma was about to spit fire, Ah Cai picked up the clay inkstone and smashed it on the snake's head: "Have you ever seen black sesame paste that can write poetry?"

The bottom of the inkstone is clearly engraved with "Made in the third year of Yongning", which coincides with the signature of Mu Yuan Jiao Xiao.

The moment the inkstone shattered, cinnabar mixed with gold powder splashed onto the "Book of Songs".

The four words "Guan Guan Ju Jiu" suddenly floated out of the paper and turned into a red pheasant that pounced towards Tuan Tuan.

The bird's beak opened and closed, and it actually made the shopkeeper's voice: "Since I have met a gentleman, how can I not be happy--" The moment the last word was drawn out, the pheasant's wings shook off thousands of sparks.

The snow-white feathers exploded into balls and flew all over the room. The feathers swept down half of the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips turned into green snakes with their heads held high and spitting out their tongues when they fell to the ground.

The snake's eyes were inlaid with green scales, and the pattern of the scales was exactly the same as the object hidden in Ah Cai's sleeve.

"Turn from Kan to Li Palace!"

The star map on the Xuantian shell suddenly brightened.

Cold springs oozed out from the cracks in the tortoise shell, carving out an icy path among the bamboo snakes.

Ah Cai jumped onto the desk, stepping on the "Chu Ci", and split the "Nine Songs" chapter with the copper coin sword in her sleeve - the glass ashes stained on the sword suddenly glowed, leaving scorch marks on the silk book.

Suddenly, the silk cloth with the words "Madam Xiang" written on it surged with waves. Feiyue flapped her arms and paddled doggy style, yelling, "Help! This dog can't swim... Huh?"

The peacock feather pattern of the pawnshop screen emerged from the water waves, and each feather was wrapped in a swirl of honey.

It discovered the ripples were actually honey and drank until its belly was swollen. The honey soaked the dog's fur and solidified it into amber, with half a Star Chess piece sealed inside.

The most dangerous mechanism is hidden in the "Jiang Jia" volume.

When Ah Cai said "by the water's edge," the blue bricks suddenly transformed into a swamp. Jianchi's bones swirled in the mud, and half of the plum blossom jade pendant's red string was still entangled between his finger bones.

The golden raccoon dog was stuck in the mud, but still chewed on the bamboo slips: "It tastes like stewed sauce..."

The small seal characters on the bamboo slips faded, revealing a watermark of the character "Pei"—the same origin as the green scale inscription.

Suddenly, a bony hand emerged from the mud, grabbed its tail, and dragged it deeper. The palm of the bony hand was inlaid with the Jade Star, which was now emitting an eerie green light.

"Move the Wei Feng to the Kun position!"

The bubbles spit out by Xuantian wrapped around the bamboo slips.

Phosphorescent fire from the "virtual" space hidden by the gold ingots appeared on the surface of the bubble, completing the insect-eaten marks on the bamboo slips into a star map.

Jin Yuanbao rushed onto the bookshelf and used the chapter "The Fat Rat" as a ruler to measure the distance.

The rat's teeth had bitten a small hole in the character "女" (female) in the Chinese character "三岁冠女". The moonlight shining through the hole cast the shopkeeper's silhouette on the ground.

When the "Qi'ao" bamboo slips were returned to their place, the entire wall of books flipped over, revealing a bronze box in the secret compartment.

In the position of the single eye of the Taotie pattern on the box surface, there is embedded the glass bone bead burned in the sword pool.

Feiyue suddenly barked at the box: "There is roast chicken! There is definitely roast chicken!"

The dog's barking caused the mechanism in the box to start, and a buzzing sound similar to the dragon's roar of the ancient sword in Chapter 3 was heard.

Just as Ah Cai opened the lid of the box, the sound of the wooden kite flapping its wings startled the glutinous rice balls, causing them to roll into the brush washer.

The cinnabar water in the brush washer dyed the brush red, and the traces it left on the rice paper formed the three characters "Luoxing Cliff".

The mechanical kite was glowing with moonlight, and the shark silk pattern on its wings was exactly the same as that on the pawnshop screen.

The starlight flowing in the dark patterns of the shark silk is exactly the light of the Yuheng star in the belly of the gold ingot.

"Don't touch the tail feathers!"

Before Xuantian finished speaking, Brahma had already pecked at Iris.

The copper bells at the base of the tail feathers are of the same style as the nine copper bells on the eaves of the pawnshop in Chapter 1.

Suddenly, thousands of silver needles burst out from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and nailed to the wall to form a star map.

The missing Tianshu position in the star map is exactly where the half chess piece sealed in the Feiyue dog hair amber is located.

Acai suddenly discovered that the position of the needle hole was exactly the same as the "pine nuts" that Jin Yuanbao had hidden.

Each pine nut's phosphorescent flame was precisely embedded in the star position, projecting the inscription of the third chapter, the Glazed Bone Palm, onto the dome.

"Kan three, Li seven, Shen three inches."

The shadow of Luoshu emerged on the Xuantian shell.

The rotating Bagua in the shadow resonates with the pawn Luoshu star map.

When Ah Cai turned the wooden kite to the southeast, golden light suddenly shot out from the kite's eye and burned a hole in the "Tribute of Yu".

The burnt words "Jingzhou" gave off a burnt aroma, which was exactly the smell of Feiyue's favorite braised pork elbow.

A yellowed piece of letter fell out of the hole, with the shopkeeper's handwriting inscribed in silver and iron: "Three o'clock in the morning, Falling Star Cliff, prepare enough braised pork elbows."

The watermark on the letter paper is a reverse scale pattern, which fits perfectly with the green scales in Acai's collection.

Feiyue suddenly rushed to the depths of the secret compartment: "There is still half a beggar's chicken!"

The floor tiles that the dog's paw stepped on suddenly sank, revealing the plum blossom jade pendant at the bottom of the sword pool in Chapter 3 - which was now shining together with the remaining jade on Acai's neck.

Twenty-eight jade chess pieces rolled out of the bronze tripod that it overturned, each of which was engraved with the name of a star.

The "empty" chess piece is stained with broken pine nut shells, and the "dangerous" chess piece is engraved with the pattern of the wooden plaque obtained in the first chapter.

The moment the chess piece fell to the ground, the study suddenly began to collapse, and the floor tiles turned into quicksand and swallowed up the ancient books.

Countless green-scaled arms stretched out from the quicksand, with sugar-coated fragments (Moon Soul Stone) embedded in the cracks between their nails.

"Can't swallow it!"

The golden raccoon dog pounced on the food book to save it, but was bitten on the hind legs by quicksand.

The recipe for Zhang's sugar painting floated out from between the pages of the book, which was exactly the "Sweetest Three Days" pawned by the young lady from Jinling in Chapter 2.

At the critical moment, the wooden kite suddenly let out a long cry, and a golden avenue appeared wherever its wings swept past.

The shopkeeper's afterimage was floating in the golden light. The young man with dragon horns was holding a mermaid lantern, and locked in the flame were the forged fragments of Ah Cai's memories when she was five years old.

When everyone rolled and climbed onto the kite's back, Jin Yuanbao was still holding tightly onto the remaining pages of "Qimin Yaoshu".

The method of making candied pine nuts recorded on the remaining pages is the source of the Golden Raccoon Dog's broken tooth incident in Chapter 1.

When the night wind swept over the Falling Star Cliff, Ah Cai discovered that a piece of shark silk was missing from the left wing of the wooden kite.

Dragon blood oozed out of the gap and condensed into beads whose shapes were exactly the same as the copper coins on the red rope of the broken blade in Chapter 3.

She reached into her sleeve pocket and her fingertips touched a piece of warm dragon scale - it was the object attached to the broken blade of Jian Chi.

There is a micro-carving on the back of the scales, which is actually a fake scene of the childhood self receiving a phoenix sugar painting in front of a sugar painting stall.

There was a green jade table under the pine tree at the edge of the cliff. The braised pork elbow wrapped in lotus leaves was still steaming, but there was no sign of the shopkeeper.

The veins of the lotus leaves formed a star map, with half of the chess piece brought by Feiyue embedded in the Tianshu position, and the Yaoguang position was empty with the shape of the missing mermaid silk from the wooden kite.

"Look!" Tuantuan pointed at the shadow cast by the wooden kite.

A red dot lights up in the Wei constellation on the star map in the shadow, which is exactly the location where Jin Yuanbao hid the wooden sign with the word "Wei" in the first chapter.

In the moonlight, the kite's shadow turned into a star map, with the location of Acai's hometown clearly marked on the Wei constellation.

The starlight projected onto the surface of the green scale, reflecting the illusion of a burning escort agency, and the pair of green scale boots coming through the crack in the warehouse window were stepping on the fire.

Feiyue gnawed on her elbow and mumbled, "Woof! Bones...bones are for the shopkeeper's face!"

The pig bones in the dog's mouth spontaneously arranged themselves, and the face they formed was exactly the same as the figure that emerged from the ancient sword.

When the first rays of morning light dyed the mountaintop red, the plum blossom jade pendant on Acai's neck suddenly resonated with the wooden kite.

The back of the jade pendant shows an inscription of "the third year of Yongning", which forms a triple confirmation with the dating of the wooden kite silk and the claret inkstone.

She didn't realize that in Jin Yuanbao's bulging cheek pouch, in addition to the star chess and pine nuts, there was also half a piece of blood-soaked shark silk - it was the missing corner of the wooden kite, and at this moment, the cinnabar small calligraphy of "The Third Year of Yongning" was faintly emerging.

Blood seeped through the bite marks left by rat teeth, leaving a child's handprint on the silk, the size of which was exactly the same as the hand of five-year-old Ah Cai.

Acai was very depressed. She didn't take any serious tasks, but she took two boring tasks in a row.

She looked at her pet and said, "Next time, let's not take on this kind of mission!"

Jin Yuanbao rolled his eyes. "Once we enter this fragment, we become their pawns. How can they give you a mission if they haven't played enough?"

The golden raccoon dog also nodded in agreement, "This fragment won't come alive, right?"

Ah Cai, “…”
