Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 921: Comprehensive Tomb World 65

Ruan Hei waited anxiously for a whole day and night and finally got the signal to pick him up. He quickly steered the boat towards the Ghost Island. He saw Duo Ling and Gu Cai were intact, and none of his employers were missing either. Judging from their backpacks, they had a big harvest.

Everyone was happily preparing to go home with the Si Tian fish. Ruan Hei looked at the sunset sky and seemed to see France. He was running out of energy and could no longer go out to sea. In his opinion, this trip would be the last one. The money he earned this time could allow Duoling and Gu Cai to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and also allow Duoling to go to France to find her father. He was already very satisfied.

As a very traditional old father, Ruan Hei tends to be talkative when he is happy when he can do a lot to arrange a good future for his children. He first thanked Jiang Xinxin and the group, and then talked about Duoling's search for her father and Gu Cai's future. Of course, he arranged for Gu Cai to do business, but Gu Cai was still young and there were many ways to do business, but it was definitely not as promising as following Jiang Xinxin and the others.

So Ruan Hei's words and actions all showed that he wanted to entrust Gu Cai to Jiang Xinxin and the other two.

Jiang Xinxin didn't have any opinion. She was of course willing to help, but Gu Cai didn't look like someone who would leave Ruan Hei immediately. Sure enough, Gu Cai laughed and said that he would take care of Ruan Hei until the end of his life and would consider other things later.

Ruan Hei was both satisfied and angry. "Why should we old men be inseparable? You young people should go out and explore the world while you are still young. When I can still walk, go out and see the world. When I can't move anymore, you can come back."

Gu Cai smiled and said nothing. He couldn't say anything else. He just saw that his master Ruan Hei seemed to have arranged everything for everyone and had forgotten about his own life. He always felt that he couldn't leave at this time.

Black Glasses was very worldly-wise. Seeing Ruan Hei and Gu Cai caring about each other, he was very moved. He patted Gu Cai on the shoulder and advised, "Now that you have our aunt's advice, you will definitely learn a lot and see the world. Besides, you are not going alone. Your master and senior sister can go with you. Why do you seem to think that you must separate when talking about these things?"

Gu Cai nodded repeatedly. He really didn't want to be separated from his master and senior sister.

But sometimes unexpected things happen in an instant. The fat man came to the control room with a pot of noodles to deliver food to everyone. When he looked up, he saw a round mark on the neck of Duoling, who was standing next to Ruan Hei. The mark was similar to the curse they had been hit by in the ancient Jingjue Kingdom.

"Do Ling!"

The fat man shouted, Duoling turned around with a smile and saw the fat man carrying a pot of noodles. She quickly reached out to take it, but after taking two steps, she felt her head suddenly go haywire and she couldn't stand steadily.

The man with black glasses quickly took the pot of noodles from the fat man and helped Duoling up.

Ruan Hei was also shocked by this sudden change. Hei Yanjing quickly put down the noodles and took over the helm, while calling Jiang Xinxin and others to come up and take a look.

The fat man carefully examined the circular pattern and asked Gu Cai and Ruan Hei uncertainly, "Miss Duoling didn't have this pattern before, right?"

When Ruan Hei picked up Duoling, Duoling was still young. As a grown man, he didn't care so much at first. He even gave Duoling a bath to make sure that there was indeed no round mark on Duoling's body.

Jiang Xinxin arrived quickly and saw at a glance that Duoling looked like she was going to die soon. The fat man asked Jiang Xinxin to check the new round mark on Duoling's neck. Jiang Xinxin could only see that this thing was very evil and would quickly absorb people's vitality and reproduce rapidly. Jiang Xiaoguan, who followed behind, directly said the name of this thing: "This is corpse descent. It is a kind of harming method similar to Gu Shu that was developed by Thailand after absorbing the magic of witchcraft and Gu Shu."

The fat man immediately grabbed Xiaoguan Jiang's hand and said, "Since Mr. Xiaojiang knows what this thing is, is there any way to save Duoling?"

Jiang Xiaoguan himself had no solution, but he might be able to give Qilin blood a try. "To put it simply, corpse descending is a special and rare poisonous insect. If we can get a thousand-year-old Qilin blood to drive out the poisonous insect, we can save Miss Duoling's life. And with some medicinal herbs, we can get rid of the corpse qi and yin qi in Miss Duoling's body without leaving any trouble."

Black Glasses replied solemnly, "But the thousand-year-old Qilin is very difficult to find. You have to look for it in the tombs before the Qin and Han dynasties to find it."

Ruan Hei felt his eyes go dark. Hu Bayi had heard of Qilinjie and knew that it seemed to be a kind of insect repellent, but he didn't know anything else. Shirley Yang didn't even know what Qilinjie was. It was Jiang Xinxin who decisively took out a bottle of Peiyuan Pill and gave Duoling one, which temporarily relieved her from the pain.

"This pill is used to replenish vitality. Duoling has been sucked of her vitality by the poisonous insects, causing her internal organs to fail quickly, which is why she is in so much pain. Right now we have to quickly find Qilinjie to help Duoling get rid of the insects. I also have a poison-avoiding talisman that can temporarily stabilize the poisonous insects in her body, but it can only buy Duoling some time."

Of course Duoling wanted to survive, but she was reluctant to let Gu Cai and Ruan Hei take risks for her. She had already experienced the dangers at sea on this trip to Coral Helix, and the dangers on land were not much less than those at sea. She could barely stand up, so she didn't want to let the people around her take risks.

Duo Ling even admitted to Ruan Hei and Gu Cai that she didn't really want to find her father because she had never seen him and he was making a living at sea, so she thought there was a high possibility that he was no longer around.

Gu Cai didn't dare to look at the expression on Duoling's face, because the diary he and Jiang Jiuri got from the shipwreck where they encountered the giant octopus under Guixu showed that the captain of the shipwreck they found was Duoling's father, and their ship lost its direction in the struggle due to uneven distribution of the spoils, and was accidentally sucked into Guixu, and the people on the ship had long been dead.

After getting ashore, Ruan Hei sent his two children away in tears. Jiang Xinxin and the other two took Duoling and Gu Cai to look for Qilin Jie, while Hei Yanjing followed Hu Bayi and the other two to find out the background of Professor Sun. Everyone acted separately and agreed to meet in the capital.

For the Zhang family, Qilin Ji is not a very precious thing. After all, there are a lot of these things in the Zhang family's ancient building, and some are also deliberately cultivated in other ancient tombs before the Qin and Han Dynasties that have been marked by the Zhang family. This time, the place chosen by Jiang Xiaoguan is in a prince's tomb from the Lu State period in Shandong area.

In order to conceal their tracks, Jiang Xinxin took Duoling around the capital, while Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri took Gu Cai to Guazi Temple to get the Qilinjie.

The so-called Seven-Star Palace of King Lu was purely a corner of the Zhang family's back garden. Jiang Xiaoguan took Jiang Jiuri and Gu Cai directly down from the tiankeng by climbing the branches of the Hydra cypress. They didn't touch anything like the three-eyed fox. They took the thousand-year-old Qilin blood and left. Before leaving, they sent a report to the local government, because the third son of the Wu family was almost there and was seen by him.

However, Wu Sanxing was very alert. When he sensed something was wrong, he immediately left the team and disappeared. So he escaped.

Duoling, who had waited for Qilinjie in the capital, also seized this glimmer of hope. After Ruan Hei knew the situation, he wished that Duoling and Gu Cai would become Jiang Xinxin's attendants and run errands for her. He would not allow them to go back to the small Coral Temple Island no matter what.
