Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 82
Chapter 82 Qilin Demon Soul Pearl
The oil in the oil lamp was unknown. Xiao Ding and the others began to take off their clothes to put out the fire. However, after pouncing for a long time, the fire did not go out at all, and their clothes were completely burned.
It didn’t matter if the elders wore a vest, but for the sake of being bright red, there was only a cover left on their clothes once they were taken off. It had to be said that Yanhong’s figure was not bad. Jiang Feng couldn’t help but glance at Yanhong even in such an urgent situation with his slender waist, big butt, and big chest.
He looked around and finally his gaze landed on the wooden table in front of him. Jiang Feng shouted at Xiao Ding and the others, “I’ll kick this table in. You guys hold this table and block the charge!”
With that, Jiang Feng prepared to carry the wooden table.
Although this wooden case was ancient, it looked rather light. Jiang Feng originally thought that he would be able to lift this wooden table without exerting most of his strength, but who would have thought that he would not be able to move it even if he exerted a bit of strength?
Jiang Feng frowned and cursed softly, “F*ck, why do you feel that the things in this tomb are full of evil?”
He once again held his breath and exerted force, but Mu An seemed to have taken root on the ground, yet he still did not move. Jiang Feng was furious. He suddenly kicked the edge of the wooden table and scolded, “It’s just a table. Is it this heavy?”
With Jiang Feng’s kick, Mu An actually moved forward. Then, the ground beneath Xiao Ding and the others suddenly began to crack. Stones fell down one by one. The bottom of the hall was actually empty!
A few stones fell, but a gap appeared in the flames that had originally surrounded Xiao Ding and the others. Xiao Ding took the lead and jumped out of the circle of flames with a single leap. Then, he rolled on the spot and ran quickly to where Jiang Feng was.
However, the palace collapsed faster and faster. In the end, Xiao Ding stomped on the ground and directly fell down.
Jiang Feng shouted, “Xiao Ding!”
Rumble! The entire palace collapsed at the same time. Jiang Feng felt his body lose weight and immediately fell down.
Drop! Drop!
Jiang Feng did not know what was going to greet him next. His extremely fast descent brought him a boundless sense of panic and powerlessness. He was very afraid that he would fall onto the hard ground, smash his body into pieces, and then sleep in this damn place.
Dong! A bone-chilling cold sensation spread throughout Jiang Feng’s entire body. Jiang Feng felt a burst of excitement in his heart. It turned out that after the palace collapsed, there was actually a dark river beneath it that fell into the water itself.
There’s no end to it. Jiang Feng secretly sighed in his heart, and his body suddenly emerged from the water.
Jiang Feng raised his head and looked up at the top. The top was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything at all. Then he glanced left and right and shouted, “Xiao Ding! Hong Jun! Big Brother He!”
No one responded!
It seemed that Xiao Ding and the others were quite far away from him. Jiang Feng hurriedly headed upstream. The surface of this dark river was quite wide. Jiang Feng swam for a long time before approaching the shore.
Just as he was about to go ashore with both of his hands, Jiang Feng suddenly felt as if his left foot had been tightly grabbed by something. He hurriedly kicked a few times with his right foot, but his right foot was grabbed again.
Jiang Feng tried his best to climb onto the shore, but the unknown thing pulled him underwater.
After half a day of stalemate, Jiang Feng felt ruthless in his heart. He simply turned around and dived back into the water. Jiang Feng was almost frightened to death by the water. A woman dressed in a white cloth robe, with a few feet of hair, was almost face-to-face. The tip of their noses were less than three centimeters away from each other.
So it was a water ghost.
Jiang Feng’s right hand trembled and a talisman paper appeared in his hand. A true talisman is one that cannot be destroyed by a knife, soaked in water, or burned by fire. The talisman paper stuck to the white-clothed female water ghost’s forehead, and a streak of purple lightning immediately swam across her body. The female ghost let out a terrifying scream, and her body instantly turned into ashes and disappeared.
Jiang Feng escaped and quickly jumped out of the water.
After disembarking, Jiang Feng panted heavily. He touched the Bluetooth headset that was still in his ear and tried to shout, “Hong Yi, Hong Yi, are you there?”
There was no sound in the headphones. Jiang Feng immediately laughed self-deprecatingly. If this headset could still be used, shouldn’t someone respond to his call just now?
Jiang Feng shook his head, stood up weakly, and began to walk aimlessly along the river bank.
As he walked, Jiang Feng estimated the time. After walking for about an hour, Jiang Feng suddenly heard a scream coming from ahead, “Ah! Get lost! Get lost!”
This voice sounded familiar to Jiang Feng. After recalling it for a moment, he remembered that it should be a bright red voice.
At this time, Jiang Feng could no longer care about the difference between the enemy and us, and ran towards the direction where the bright red voice came from. Very quickly, Jiang Feng saw a group of rotten corpses surrounding Yanhong, who was wearing a black lace edge cover. The rotten corpse was still wearing bronze armor. It looked like it was a soldier buried with him in this tomb.
The only reason they were able to move was because the Yin Qi in the tomb was too heavy, so the remaining resentment in their bodies was nourished into resentment spirits. Such a rotten corpse was not even as good as the water ghost that Jiang Feng had encountered underwater.
However, to ordinary people, their rotten and terrifying faces, their incomparably foul auras, and their bodies that weren’t afraid of being cut by knives and swords were indeed somewhat terrifying. No wonder Yanhong was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly.
Jiang Feng took two steps forward and a Nine Firmament Lightning Spiritual Talisman flew out like an arrow. The purple lightning spilled out, and the rotten corpse immediately emitted a foul stench. Then, its body was charred black and fell to the ground.
Jiang Feng walked to Yanhong’s side and asked with a smile, “How is it? Are you alright?”
Yanhong raised her head and looked at Jiang Feng. Her body trembled slightly and she said, “No … it’s fine.”
Looking at Yan Hong’s somewhat dark-haired lips, Jiang Feng knew that she must be extremely cold. He took out the Pure Yang Evil Avoidance Talisman from his bosom and carefully placed it on the hemisphere that was exposed on the left side of Yanhong.
The Pure Yang Evil Avoidance Talisman has the effect of expelling Yin Qi and drawing pure Yang Qi into the body. As soon as the Jiang Feng talisman paper touched Yanhong’s body, Yanhong immediately felt a warmth swim through her entire body. She looked up at Jiang Feng and finally said to him, “Thank you.”
Jiang Feng nodded and asked Yanhong, “Can you find someone else’s location?”
“Yes.” Yanhong raised her left hand and pointed at her watch. The watch that originally displayed the time and date immediately turned into a black screen. Four white dots and a red dot flickered on the screen. Yanhong pointed at the red dot and said, “This red dot is where we are now. These four white dots are where Young Master Wen, Lu Ren, and the two masters are.”
Jiang Feng took a glance and discovered that the four white dots were scattered, and none of them were gathered together.
Jiang Feng asked, “Who should we look for first?”
“I don’t know. This river flows downstream. If we go forward now, we are going against the river. I think you should know better than me whether we should go forward or backward.” Yanhong looked at Jiang Feng and said.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, “Retrograde. After all, no tomb will allow the river water to rush into the tomb. Retrograde has a better chance of finding the entrance to the tomb again.”
“Alright.” Yanhong nodded and followed Jiang Feng to the river bank.
In the beginning, the two of them walked for more than ten minutes without saying a word to each other, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze. In the end, Jiang Feng asked Yanhong, “How many years have you worked for the Xiao family?”
Yanhong glanced at Jiang Feng and said, “Lu Ren and I are both orphans adopted by the Xiao Clan. We were raised by the Xiao Clan since we were young. When I was sixteen years old, Second Master chose me to follow Young Master Wen, and we have always been close to him to protect him.”
“Then how does Xiao Wen treat you?” Jiang Feng asked.
Yanhong nodded, “Young Master Wen treats me very well.”
“How is it a good method?” Jiang Feng asked.
Yanhong was stunned, as if she had never thought about this question carefully. After a long silence, Yanhong replied, “Young Master Wen has never hit me and rarely scolded me.”
Jiang Feng was stunned by Yanhong’s answer. To Yanhong, not being beaten and scolded by her master was already considered good by her master. He nodded and looked ahead.
“There’s light ahead!” Yanhong pointed ahead and said.
Jiang Feng saw that there were indeed two huge dragon-shaped stone sculptures in front of him. Two streams of water rushed down from the dragon’s mouth and flowed into the dark river. In the middle of the two large stone sculptures was a cave entrance, from which light came out.
“The Azure Dragon spat out water. It seems that this is the true location of the tomb.” Jiang Feng understood that the collapsed palace was actually just a cover to cover up the existence of the underground imperial mausoleum.
This tomb was indeed very painstaking, and it was unknown how deep it had been dug underground. From the ground to the palace, and then from the palace to the dark river. Only then did Jiang Feng begin to see the arrangement of the geomantic pattern. The first thing he saw was the “Azure Dragon Spitting Water”. It seemed that this tomb was originally meant to bless his descendants for ten thousand years.
Jiang Feng walked towards the cave entrance with Yanhong. After entering the cave entrance, the two finally saw the shining thing.
It was a round bead, about the size of a baby’s fist.
As soon as Jiang Feng approached the round pearl, he felt a scorching heat wave. “Yes, it’s this thing,” he murmured excitedly.
“What is it?” Yanhong couldn’t help but ask Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng smiled faintly, “The thing I want to find the most when I come to this tomb.”
That’s right. Jiang Feng had already recognized that this bead that glowed with red light and emitted a scorching aura was the Qilin Demon Soul Pearl. With this Demon Soul Pearl, Goudan’er’s body would recover to its original state.
He stretched out his hand to get the Demon Soul Pearl. However, his hand had just touched the edge of the Demon Soul Pearl, and before he could touch it, Jiang Feng felt as if his hand had been drenched in a basin of boiling water. It was burning with pain.
He couldn’t help but curse himself, “Stupid!” The Qilin was a fire spirit divine beast, and its Demon Soul Pearl was not something that Gou Dan’er’s Demon Soul Pearl could compare to. Even if I have the Pixiu Demon Soul Pearl in my body, I can’t touch it. Unless I can find the Spiritual Qi Jade Marrow, this tomb is at least a thousand years old. The main tomb definitely has the Spiritual Qi Jade Marrow. “Damn it, it looks like we should go to the main tomb.”
