Hu Yanxin turned around and shouted: "Li Zhong, come here quickly, I found a skeleton with a few lines of words written on it."
"Really?!" Li Zhong heard that he had discovered something and ran over immediately.
When the two of them got closer, they saw that it was indeed engraved with several large characters: "Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs."
This sentence caused both of them to fall into silence.
"Do you know what it means?" Hu Yanxin asked Li Zhong.
Li Zhong shook his head: "I don't know."
Hu Yanxin continued: "According to ancient book records, a long time ago, there used to be gods in the world. They were in charge of all living beings and were omnipotent. But later they were not satisfied with being gods and wanted to create more races. Maybe it was because of a certain There are various reasons that cause those gods to disappear or die."
"Does this have anything to do with what we discovered today?" Li Zhong asked.
"Of course it does matter. If I guess correctly, this should be a mausoleum built by the gods, and a god is buried there." Hu Yanxin said excitedly.
Li Zhong nodded in agreement.
Hu Yanxin continued: "I don't know if you have noticed that this corpse is wearing black armor and holding a whisk, and this clothes can only be used by the legendary gods. From this, it can be inferred that this god is most likely Qin Shihuang Ying The alchemist under the government."
"Ah" Li Zhong exclaimed, "No way?"
"Of course it's possible." Hu Yanxin affirmed.
"In this way, he holds a sword in his hand, which means that this sword is also a legendary artifact." Li Zhong's eyes lit up, "I have to take it with me quickly. It may be worth a lot of money. I didn’t come here in vain this time. If I can find Beiling’s ancient poems again, I will definitely be rewarded when I go back.”
.
The more Li Zhong talked, the more excited he became, as if he had already seen himself becoming a rich man.
Hu Yanxin's face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted: "Li Zhong, have you forgotten our mission?"
Li Zhong suddenly woke up. Just now he was so happy that he forgot about his responsibilities. He hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I was so excited just now that I almost forgot about my mission. Don't worry, after we find the Beiling Gu Master, we will leave here".
Hu Yanxin nodded, then pointed to the body on the ground and said, "In this case, it's better for us to get rid of him first to avoid being discovered by others."
Li Zhong nodded when he heard this: "Well, be careful and don't touch him."
Hu Yanxin knelt down and observed carefully for a moment and then said: "I think this guy has been dead for a long time. His body is rigor mortis and his blood has coagulated. He should have been dead for more than ten years or even longer."
Li Zhong said: "Since he is dead, it is better to destroy the body as soon as possible and eliminate the traces, so as to save you a long night and many dreams."
"Yeah", Hu Yanxin stood up.
Then Li Zhong picked up the fire stick next to him and burned the body.
"Huh", looking at the burned corpse, Hu Yanxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What is this? Why is there black smoke?" Li Zhong shouted in shock.
.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yanxin turned his head and looked in the direction he was pointing, only to see bursts of black smoke coming out of the skull.
Hu Yanxin was startled, rushed to Li Zhong, stretched out his hands and covered his mouth.
"Woo..." Li Zhong struggled, but Hu Yanxin was so powerful that he couldn't break away at all.
At this moment, the skull suddenly opened its eyes, revealing its dazzling white teeth.
Hu Yanxin's pupils shrank sharply when he saw this.
Li Zhong felt as if a stone was pressed on his chest and he couldn't breathe, his eyes bulged so high.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Li Zhong's whole body fell heavily to the ground. His throat was bitten and blood flowed down the wound.
Hu Yanxin's heart was beating wildly as he looked at Li Zhong's gradually cooling body. He suppressed the fear in his heart, took out the dagger from his arms, and then slowly approached the skull.
The skull was still staring at Hu Yanxin, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
Hu Yanxin took a deep breath, and then rushed towards the skull.
The moment Hu Yanxin came into contact with the skull, his whole body felt cold to the bone, as if he had fallen into an icy purgatory.
Then a strong stinging attack came, causing him to scream in agony.
He felt as if his soul had been torn apart and was in great pain. In the end, he passed out and lay limply on the ground.
After an unknown amount of time, when Hu Yanxin woke up, he found that he was still in the original cave.
It's just that the surrounding area is empty, without any trace, as if nothing happened here.
"What's going on? Is it a nightmare?" Hu Yanxin rubbed his head and muttered to himself.
"No, this is not a nightmare." Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded in Hu Yanxin's ears.
Hu Yanxin suddenly raised his head and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Then he froze.
He saw a woman coming out of the corner.
The woman is slender and tall, with snow-white skin and picturesque eyebrows. She is wearing a red robe.
Hu Yanxin's breathing stopped instantly.
The woman walked slowly with a smile.
Suddenly, her figure flashed in front of Hu Yanxin. She stretched out her right hand and gently touched Hu Yanxin's cheek, and said softly: "My dear husband, you're awake."
Hu Yanxin looked at the woman's face blankly, not daring to blink.
"My dear husband, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring at me, sister, so stupidly?" the woman smiled coquettishly.
"Sister?" Hu Yanxin swallowed and asked tremblingly: "Who are you?"
"You actually forgot?" A trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes, and then she sighed: "Hey, it seems you have indeed forgotten me."
After the woman finished speaking, she put away the smile on her face, put on an indifferent expression, and then turned her head away from looking at Hu Yanxin.
The woman's behavior made Hu Yanxin panic.
"Who are you?" Hu Yanxin asked bravely, "Why did you save me here? What does it have to do with that corpse and the Beiling Gu Master? What does it have to do with it!"
"Who am I? Hahaha...hahahaha" the woman looked up to the sky and smiled, "I am the Changsun of the Qin State."
"Chang Sun!" Hu Yanxin was shocked.
Changsun was one of the famous beauties in the Han Dynasty. Although her beauty was much inferior to that of Diao Chan, Zhao Feiyan, Su Daji and others in the Qin Dynasty, her appearance was definitely rare in the world and she was truly the most beautiful woman in the world. Especially her charm makes men go crazy. Even a gentleman like Hu Yanxin cannot control himself in front of her and eventually falls at her feet.
The ancestors of the Changsun family were the concubines of Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty. Because of their unparalleled beauty, they were given the title "Changle Palace". They were later sent to Chang'an and married to Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu died in Nantai Palace three years after his reign.
After Liu Xiu's death, the Changsun family was given the title of "Changle Palace" concubine, and was later made a nobleman.
Later, Changsun cultivated Beiling Gu Master and lived for thousands of years.
Later, in order to avoid the war, she lived in seclusion here, but controlled the Beiling Gu Master. Unexpectedly, when she was practicing, she encountered Hu Yanxin who accidentally bumped in.
Hu Yanxin died suddenly in front of her, and then she used secret methods to control Hu Yanxin, resurrected him, and turned him into her puppet.
"What is your relationship with that corpse? Why did you kill him?" Hu Yanxin glared at the woman in front of him.
"He is my brother, but he is not an ordinary person." Changsun said calmly: "My brother is a wizard."
Hearing this, a trace of bitterness appeared on Hu Yanxin's face: "Wizard?"
Changsun continued: "Do you know what he has done? How many innocent people he killed and how many loyal people he killed. He is simply a devil."
Hu Yanxin shook his head and said: "No matter who he is, I was induced by his magic to come here. If you hadn't saved me, I would probably be dead now."
Changsun snorted coldly and said: "You are right, I did use you, but I can't let you go. I need you to do something for me. I will let the Beiling Gu Master go with you , I can figure it out, you want to save people."
"What do you want me to do for you?" Hu Yanxin asked with a frown.
He didn't understand why Changsun asked Beiling Gu Master to help him when he had to let him help.
Changsun said with a serious expression: "I want you to find that child for me, and then capture it and give it to me."
"Do you know that child?" Hu Yanxin asked doubtfully.
The Changsun clan nodded and said: "That child was the orphan of our family. His ancestors were all from our Changsun clan. I figured out where he is, but I don't know if he is a boy or a girl. I must take him back."
"Is there any relationship between this?" Hu Yanxin asked
"Well," Changsun said, "That child has the most important thing in our Changsun family, and I must protect it personally."
"What?" Hu Yanxin asked.
"You don't need to know this." Changsun smiled and said: "Anyway, it is something very important to me. I am currently in seclusion and cannot go out. Although the Beiling Gu Master obeys my command, he cannot go out of the mountain. You can only protect me. Only you I have been waiting for a thousand years to be able to go out, and finally you showed up to help me find the descendants of this child. You should know that I will not let you help me in vain."
"Why should I believe what you say?" Hu Yanxin asked warily.
Changsun smiled slightly and said: "You can choose not to believe me, but you have no choice, because you can only believe me."
After Changsun finished speaking, a ball of purple fire suddenly appeared in her hand.
Then, with a flick of her finger, the purple fire flew towards Hu Yanxin, and then turned into a giant net, covering him in it.
Hu Yanxin suddenly felt severe pain all over his body and could not even resist.
After a while, the purple fire dissipated and Hu Yanxin regained his freedom.
Changsun clapped his hands with satisfaction.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Hu Yanxin said in a deep voice, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of peas appeared on his forehead.
Changsun looked at him with a smile and said: "I want you to do something for me. As for what it is, I will tell you after you have done it for me."
Hu Yanxin's face was uncertain, and after a while he said: "Okay, I promise you, but I hope you will keep your word."
"Don't worry, what I said will definitely stand and I won't lie to you." Changsun said.
"Then what are you going to ask me to do?" Hu Yanxin asked.
"I will give you two medicinal diet formulas. You are responsible for purchasing the herbs to make the soup. You will temporarily detoxify your friend first, but if you can't find it, your friend's toxin will relapse in eighteen days!"
Changsun said quietly.
"Why are you doing this?" Hu Yanxin asked with a frown.
"Don't you want to save your friend? Don't you still want to watch your friend die slowly like this?" Changsun said sarcastically: "In that case, just listen to my instructions."
"Remember, you only have eighteen days left. If you can't get my descendants within eighteen days, your friend will be poisoned and die!" After saying this, the Changsun family turned into a phantom and disappeared. .
Hu Yanxin took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and left the cave, he was going to look for herbs.
After Hu Yanxin left the cave, Changsun slowly revealed her figure. She looked at Hu Yanxin's leaving figure and murmured to herself: "Hu Yanxin, you'd better not play tricks, otherwise once you die, your friends will Total death, I've done that more than once."
Changsun's voice gradually faded away, and the entire desert island fell into silence.
After Hu Yanxin left the cave, he did not set off immediately. Instead, he sat cross-legged on a big rock to rest.
The power Changsun used just now was so terrifying that even though he was at the ninth level, he still felt sore and exhausted all over his body.
After a while, Hu Yanxin regained his breath. He stood up and looked at the surrounding mountains.
He took out a bamboo flute from his arms and started playing. Nangong's servants heard the signal and gathered around one after another.
"Master (master), how are you?" everyone asked.
"We'll leave here right away." Hu Yanxin put away his flute and said.
…
Nangong Mansion.
Nangong Yuchen sat in the room and looked at his parents, and asked solemnly: "Mom and dad, are what happened today true?"
"What's going on?" Nangong and his wife asked at the same time.
"It's about my engagement with Miss Liu's family." Nangong Yuchen asked.
"Yes, Yu Chen, you don't like that girl from the Liu family? Haven't we made it clear to the Xiao family a long time ago that this marriage must be finalized!"
Seeing that her son was unwilling, the wife looked at her eldest son Nangong Yueyi.
"Yes, the Xiao family and our family have reached a consensus that this marriage must be facilitated and must not be left unattended." Nangong Yueyi agreed.
"No." Nangong Yuchen shook his head and said, "Father, mother, I don't like Miss Liu, I like Sheng Xiaotao more."
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Nangong scolded: "You actually like a country girl. Even if she marries you, she must be a concubine!"
What Mrs. Nangong hated most in her life were those lowly village women, so she would never allow her son to marry a lowly farmer's daughter as his wife, even as a concubine.
"Yu Chen, have you forgotten why you were kicked out of your home?" Nangong Yueyi asked.
"It was the Liu family who forced me." Nangong Yuchen gritted his teeth.
"You are forced to have no choice, but what if Miss Liu's family is willing to help our family?" Nangong Yueyi asked.
Nangong Yuchen was stunned.
He is not stupid. When he was kicked out of the Nangong family, the family did not blame him, but arranged for him to learn martial arts.
He knew that the Liu family secretly used their power to transfer him to southern Xinjiang, and then hinted that he would make contributions in southern Xinjiang.
And he has been following the Liu family's arrangements, but he has never succeeded.
If the Liu family is willing to take action, then things may turn around.
However, he felt sick when he thought of Miss Liu's appearance. This woman wanted to marry into the Nangong family, and her brother only found him after he didn't want her.
How could such a woman marry him? He would rather marry a peasant woman than marry her.
Nangong Yueyi continued: "We only ask Miss Liu to make our family stronger and ensure her safety, that's all. This request is very simple. As long as Miss Liu agrees, the Liu family will fully support it." Us. We, the Nangong family, don’t have to worry."
Nangong Yuchen struggled in his heart. He wanted to get rid of the control of the Liu family, but he knew that this was very difficult.
Mrs. Nangong looked at her son's hesitant expression and sighed: "Yu Chen, the Liu family is one of the four wealthy families after all. Although it is not as good as the three major families in the imperial city, their strength cannot be underestimated. We must win them over.
If we don't have allies like the Liu family, we will be in even more trouble in the future, and we may even encounter disaster.
