Manor Romance

Chapter 332 Obsidian Ancient Knife
Without the pressure from the Lu family, the reputation of the manor is also getting bigger and bigger under Yunli's management, the income continues to rise steadily, and various businesses are also developing smoothly. The days pass quickly, and the news from the Lu family finally comes out. Here they are, they will set off into the desert in a week, and they have notified Yunli in advance to gather at the secret stronghold.

Yunli reckoned that this trip would be delayed for a few days, so he made up a story about returning home for everyone. He would leave the manor for a while, so please take care of all the affairs. Xu Xiangjiao has successfully obtained the admission qualification, and soon Xu Jiali and She has to go to the city center to report for class and study, and their jobs have been taken over.

But Huang Li and Shen Hong have already returned to resume work, and Xu Xiangming's transformation is also obvious. He is very motivated to work, and there are no problems in other aspects. Besides, Lu Ci is here to preside over the overall situation. His departure will not have much impact on the operation of the manor. big.

Yunli set off as soon as he received the news, but instead of going straight to the meeting point, he went to the college first and found Professor Yan Li. The investigation work on the ruins in the Banlu Mountain has been completed, so that is indeed true. It is the burial place of King Geten and his party, and the remains of King Geten are also in it.

However, according to Yan Li's repeated investigations, it was found that this King Geten was not killed in the conflict, nor was he buried and killed by a sudden earthquake, but was poisoned to death, and the poison was a chronic disease. It is highly poisonous. Even after so many years, traces of toxin erosion can still be clearly recognized in his bones. This effect can only be achieved after long-term use, not the case of being injured to death by a poisoned weapon.

This discovery made Yunli very confused. Not only King Geten, but also several remains were in the same condition. Yan Li speculated that these people should have been drugged and controlled for several days, and even said that at that time Before the conflict, it was already a corpse, which was just transported in a carriage. The reason for this inference was that he had asked experts to examine several poisoned remains, including King Geten, and none of them had any obvious signs of death. Fighting injuries, if it is a conflict, it is impossible to have no injuries at all.

According to his inference, this conflict is probably just an artificial illusion, but the earthquake was an unexpected disaster. Someone is planning all this behind the scenes, and the goal is obviously to lure Master Gexian into the world. After coming out, I don't know if Princess Gexian's death has anything to do with them.

The first thing Yunli thought of was the Lu family. The Lu family coveted Princess Gexian's ability and was also afraid of her ability, so they set up a plan to get rid of her, even though the Wangtian Department where Princess Gexian belonged took her in. For them who are facing desperation, but with the methods and ambitions of the Lu family, it is not impossible to avenge kindness and revenge.

But after thinking about it carefully, he also thought of other possibilities. The death of Princess Gexian must be related to this matter, but there is no more evidence to support his deduction, so he can only let this matter go and wait. If I have enough strength to open the blue and black stone gate, the truth should be able to surface.

Immediately afterwards, he came to the headquarters of Nanyuan Group in the southwest. Wang Chengyuan already knew that he had accepted the Lu family's invitation to go to the desert and swamp in the northwest. It was impossible for him to know, Yunli wanted to hear the opinion of this senior, so he explained the matter to him.

In Wang Chengyuan's office, the two sat opposite each other. Wang Chengyuan put a small square wooden box and a long leather bag on the small table, pushed them in front of Yunli, and said, "Take these two things, I believe they will treat you well." helpful."

Yunli hesitated for a moment, then reached out to open the small wooden box, inside lay a round stone bead the size of a walnut, Yunli was no stranger to it, it was called the Forbidden Bead, and it was made of a mixture of different materials , which is filled with mercury and has many uses. The most important thing is to judge the situation on the other side of the door wall. It can sense whether it is a dead end, hollow or some trap. One of my treasured treasures.

Last time in the mysterious ancient tomb in the snow mountain, the three of them relied on the amazing ability of this strange treasure to break through the passage all the way, and finally escaped from birth. With the forbidden pearl by his side, Yunli has more confidence.

This Forbidden Bead is Wang Chengyuan's precious treasure. He is willing to part with one another to lend it out, which is enough to show his affection for Yunli. Yunli did not pretend to refuse, nodded to him, closed the small wooden box, and then Continue to look through the long leather bag.

Inside the bag is a delicate short-inch knife, which is less than one arm's length. The blade looks light but it is very heavy. For ordinary people, it is no problem to hold it, but it will definitely be difficult to hold it for a while. .

The scabbard is silver-white, while the handle and blade are matte black and non-glossy. It adopts a rare one-piece casting process without obvious knife grid. The transition from the handle to the blade is natural. The blade is straight as a whole, and the tip is slightly Outwardly curved, the blade is extremely sharp, with a strong aura of fighting for the front in the simplicity, you can tell it is not ordinary at a glance.

Compared with the simple and simple body of the knife, the silver-white scabbard looks a little gorgeous and out of place. Although it is very beautifully made, and the surrounding carvings are also very pleasing to the eye, it suddenly pales in comparison with the knife body itself.

"When I got it, there was only this dark knife body, and the scabbard was made by someone later. The combination looks a bit nondescript, but this can also cover up its sharpness and give the enemy a surprise effect. "Wang Chengyuan could see Yunli's doubts, so he explained to him.

"It's such a short blade. The hilt and blade are integrated into one body. It is exquisite and compact. It cuts iron like mud. This material, which looks like iron and porcelain, should be forged with a unique secret method. It must be from the hands of a famous master. I don't know. What's its name?" Yun Li stroked its icy blade with his fingertips, and asked while admiring it.

"Its origin can no longer be studied, but I have checked with experts. It is made of refined iron mixed with a certain proportion of obsidian. It can only be produced after repeated refining and forging. This forging method is very complicated and the success rate is very low. Obsidian It is a precious volcanic crystal gemstone, and it fits well with its shape, so I named it Obsidian Gudao." Wang Chengyuan introduced.

"Obsidian Ancient Knife, good name, then I would like to thank Uncle Yuan. Whether it is the Forbidden Bead or the Obsidian Ancient Knife, I will send it back to you in good condition." Xing's confidence increased a bit, and he assured Wang Chengyuan with a smile.

"You don't have to save it, these things are used to break through barriers and prevent disasters. It's better for people to be okay, and those treasures you hide are much more precious than mine. It doesn't matter if they are broken. I'll go to your side Just pick a few items as compensation." Wang Chengyuan laughed, although he was joking, but if Yun Li really lost something, he can only take out the Lu family's collection to compensate Wang Chengyuan.

"Is that place really as evil as you said? The Lu family also attaches great importance to this matter. Recently, they have contacted me frequently to confirm the itinerary. It seems that they are very nervous. Even this family of tomb robbers has to cheer up." Yun Li Turn the topic back to business.

"Do you know how the desert is formed?" Wang Chengyuan didn't answer directly, but asked this seemingly irrelevant question.

"Uh, I haven't really studied it carefully. It should be that after the water veins are dry, they can't be replenished, and the animals and plants can't survive, so it becomes a barren area, and it deteriorates and spreads bit by bit, and finally forms the desert form today, right? "Yun Li speculated.

Wang Chengyuan shook his head and explained: "Generally speaking, this is the case, but there is such a legend that the entire universe was still in a very unstable state a long time ago, and various extraterrestrial objects would visit the earth from time to time, and meteorites are the most common. Yes, the impact of the huge meteorite smashed the earth out of several death zones, and the real deserts were smashed out by meteorites in this way, and the basin desert you went to this time is also the same."

"I've heard of this statement, but it seems that there is no specific scientific basis. If it is a meteor crater, it is indeed a good explanation why there are so many unexplainable phenomena and so many strange legends." Yunli pondered.

"Whether there is scientific basis or not, the reality is that there are too many things that cannot be answered by common sense. The same is true of the Wahuang Palace you are going to. You should know the legend of Nuwa mending the sky. Meteorites came to mend the sky, and the Yu clan who believed in her had the unique ability to search for meteorites, and specially found these meteorite burial sites to build the Wahuang Palace, and at the same time gained more power than other tribes." Wang Chengyuan continued explained.

"You mean, the Wahuang Palace that the Lu family and I are going to go this time was built on the meteorite?" Yun Li asked in surprise. He had never thought about this question, and the Lu family did not reveal it to him. information on this.

Wang Chengyuan nodded heavily, and said: "It's very likely. According to legend, the Yu clan is the descendant of Nuwa, and they also have a very special burial tradition. The body is buried under the colossal statue of Nuwa, praying to return to the great god Nuwa, so that she can bestow new life on the divine power. Therefore, there is usually a large mausoleum under the Wahuang Palace, and the secrets of the Yu family are also buried in it. .”

After hearing this explanation, Yun Li couldn't feel more at ease, and immediately asked: "If the Yu clan found the meteorite from the outer space, built the Wahuang Palace at the upper door, and dug the mausoleum at the bottom, with the help of the meteorite from the extraterrestrial The strange power of the Nawa Emperor Palace is an excellent shelter for defense, which is indeed very consistent with the rumors, is it that the most taboo of the Lu family is the strange power of meteorites?"
