Reborn: The Godfather Has Fallen For Me - Chapter 887
Chapter 887: Yang-Revolving Pearl
Back in the cave, Yan Kuan had been watching the video recorded by the direction finder. The two children had already fallen asleep. After Shen Xiaoxiao had settled the two children, she sat down beside Yan Kuan.
The branches of the trees were crackling from the fire. The two of them leaned against each other and watched the video recorded along the way.
Good lord, those meat things were really snakes and dead people. What was going on? Why was it getting more and more strange?
“We’ll know when 19 comes back.”
Just as Yan Kuan finished speaking, 19 came back. However, not only did he come back, there was also a clan leader who looked like a puppet behind him.
“This old man has been hypnotized by me. His will is very weak. Let’s ask him quickly. I’ve also got this talisman. Take a look.”
After saying that, 19 handed the talisman to Shen Xiaoxiao. Then, he walked to the side and started to take care of a moose that he had hunted along the way. The clan leader stood at the side with his head lowered. Yan Kuan took a look at 19. This kid was really very meticulous. He knew to get some food for Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the talisman in her hand. It was a triangular talisman. It was an ordinary talisman made of yellow paper and red cinnabar. One could buy that kind of talisman on the street at any time, but it just had to have such a function. It was interesting that one could use this talisman to open a path in front.
Shen Xiaoxiao had no intention of opening the talisman because Yan Kuan said that once these things were opened, they would not work. China’s five thousand years of culture were not to be underestimated. These talismans had been passed down from ancient times to the present, it was not really a superstition like what the public said. It always had something that people believed in. Otherwise, it would not have been still in use after so long.
As for why Shen Guoan had these things, it seemed that these methods were not only not weak, but were even extremely powerful. It was hard to understand.
But now, they had found a breakthrough. As the leader of the clan, Buda in front of them could always know something that they did not know.
“Who is the prophet?”
“The prophet knows everything, bringing light and hope to our people.”
This answer was really the typical words of a feudal superstitious person.
“What hope?”
“King, once our king descends, he will bring eternal life to our people.”
“Eternal life?”
“Yes, eternal life. We have been waiting for a thousand years for the sake of eternal life.”
“What about the evil children? What are the evil children?”
“Evil children will bring disaster to us. Only by sacrificing them can we appease the anger of God.”
“How long have you been here?”
“1,200 years.”
“Are you all waiting for the king?”
“Yes, we are waiting for our king and the treasure that our clan has inherited for a thousand years and protected for a thousand years.”
Hearing this, they finally heard something useful. Everyone fixed their eyes on Buda. Yan Kuan continued to ask,”What treasure?”
“The Yang-Revolving Pearl.”
“What is it used for?”
“It can help our king bring us eternal life.”
“Where is it placed?”
“In the deepest part of our altar.”
“Why isn’t it dedicated to your prophet?”
“No, only our king can get the Yang-Revolving Pearl. It can turn our life and death into eternal life.”
“What are the king’s characteristics?”
“He will step on the seven-colored auspicious clouds and appear in golden armor and battle robes.”
After hearing all this, it was unlikely that they would be able to gather much information. However, the Yang-Revolving Pearl made them feel a little curious.
“I guess he has been boasting about traveling to the west for too long. He even wears golden armor and battle robes.”
19 muttered. After all, he was in the entertainment industry. When he heard Buda’s words, he felt that it was funny. However, he also knew that the legend that had been passed down through the generations was not a joke.
19 tidied up the moose, turned around, and left with Buda. This person could not be in trouble now. They were still waiting for three days to follow the entire village into this forbidden land.
Therefore, 19 brought the person out safely.
Once 19 left, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan and said,”Then, could the Yang-Revolving Pearl be the last bead on the eight trigram wheel?”
“It’s very possible. If that’s the case, it makes sense why the old man built his nest here? He’s probably waiting for this Yang-Revolving Pearl to appear.”
“Isn’t he very powerful? Why doesn’t he pretend to be a king and go get it himself?”
“It’s easy to imagine when you look at Buda and the others guarding this place for a thousand years. It’s not easy to get what they regard as the treasure of the whole clan. Maybe they really have to wait for the arrival of some king.”
“But who is the king?”
“Didn’t they say that they would step on the seven-colored auspicious clouds and appear in golden armor and battle robes? Let’s just wait. Since the old man has decided to open the sacrificial altar in three days, I think he has already predicted it. We just need to wait patiently.”
“I’m worried that if that’s really the case, then if this Yang-Revolving Pearl falls into the hands of the old man, we will…”
Yan Kuan held Shen Xiaoxiao in his arms. How could he not know what she was thinking? He looked at the sleeping children and made a decision in secret.
“When 19 comes back, let him hide with the children in Ah Cai’s family. We’ll go and see for ourselves what this Yang-Revolving Pearl is.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was shocked. She looked at the sleeping children and did not know how to make a decision. She wanted to get the Yang-Revolving Pearl and ruin Old Master Shen’s plan, but she could not rest assured about the children.
“We’ll make arrangements when 19 comes back. We’re just going to see what the Yang-Revolving Pearl is and make sure it’s exactly what we think it is. We don’t have to get it. It won’t take more than a night.”
“We’ll talk about it when 19 comes back.”
However, this wait made them wait for a whole night and 19 didn’t come back.
Shen Xiaoxiao had been worried for a long time, but Yan Kuan was very calm. In the end, just before dawn, he packed up the remaining moose, carried the two children on his back, and sneaked back to the village with Shen Xiaoxiao.
“Le Le, An An, you’re back? Are you okay?”
Ah Cai was overjoyed to see his family of four in front of them. Moreover, Yan Kuan directly threw the peeled moose to Ah Cai. This big gift was rarely seen in the entire village.
Ah Cai was extremely excited. This foreign guest was really hospitable, but he didn’t know if he should accept such a big gift.
Ah Gan and Ah Tawa’s fever had already subsided, and they were both sleeping in their rooms. It was still early, and it was still dark. Ah Cai had cleared out his room for his family to rest.
However, Yan Kuan was originally going to ask Ah Cai for information, so he didn’t really lie down to rest. Instead, he said to Ah Cai:
“Brother Ah Cai, did you hear any noise in the vicinity just now? One of our brothers is missing.”
“Something happened?”
“No, but the clan leader was found lying next to the altar just now. It was quite noisy.”
“Oh? When did it happen?”
“About four hours ago. At that time, everyone woke up. The elders said that the clan leader’s soul had left. The four elders even sang a requiem for him just now. After he woke up, everyone left.”
“There’s nothing else?”
Ah Cai was puzzled for a long time. He thought for a while and confirmed, “No, there’s nothing else. Oh, right, it seems that the clan leader’s token is missing.”
“Token?”
