dragon hunter

Chapter 228
I looked at Mr. Wang quietly, wondering what this hot-tempered old man could ask of me.

"Mr. Zhang, I wonder if you have heard of the blood lotus root?" Mr. Wang hesitated and asked.

My eyelids twitched slightly, and I said, "Old man, are you talking about the blood lotus root that can live and die?"

Back then, I saw blood lotus root in the underground secret room of the Buddhist temple in Yujia Village. Yin Changsheng tried to use blood lotus root to recreate a physical body.

This kind of rare treasure is very rare. The ancestor once said in the Xiangjing that he visited all the famous mountains in the world and only encountered them once in his life.

"Yes, our Wang family owes Ah Ming an explanation. I want to find a body for her." Mr. Wang said slowly.

My eyes were fixed, this old man is really generous, could it be that what the other party is asking for has something to do with blood lotus root?
"Old man, if you have something to say, just say it, and I will naturally not refuse if you can." I didn't go around the bush.

Mr. Wang took out a small box from his body, put it on the coffee table, and opened the lid to me. Inside was a bronze fragment.

When I saw what was in the box, I was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the bronze fragment looked familiar, and then I suddenly remembered that the Xia Ding fragment I got in the Bailian Underground Palace looked like this.

My breathing became short of breath suddenly, and the bronze fragment painted on it was a map of the dragon veins of Kyushu.

"Mr. Zhang, this fragment of Xia Yu's bronze tripod is just a rare and ancient relic to others, but it must have a different meaning to you Xunlong Zhang family." Mr. Wang stared straight at me.

"Old man, do you want to use this fragment to exchange for blood lotus root? But I don't know, where can I find blood lotus root." My eyes flashed puzzled.

The bronze fragments depicting the dragon veins of Kyushu are indeed very attractive to me, but the world is so big, who knows where I can find the blood lotus root.

"I know a place where I can find blood lotus root. If Mr. Zhang can bring back the blood lotus root, this fragment will be my reward." Mr. Wang said decisively.

I looked at the other party quietly, without saying a word. If I could get the blood lotus root easily, this old man wouldn't go through so much trouble.

"When I was young, I worked as a ferryman, and there was a severe drought on the Yellow River one year..." A secret anecdote was slowly revealed from Mr. Wang's mouth.

There have always been many mysterious rumors about the Yellow River. For us Feng Shui masters, there are countless low-grade dragon veins derived from the main vein of the Yellow River.

When Mr. Wang was young, there was a severe drought in the Yellow River Basin, the river was dry, and many ancient relics buried deep in the river bottom were exposed.

The old man and his party of five were all engaged in the ferry business, and with the mentality of getting rich, they searched carefully along the ancient road of the Yellow River.

Huangtian paid off, and found a mysterious cave for them under the river bed.

"There were five people when we went in, but there were only two left when we came out." Mr. Wang's eyes showed sadness.

"What's in the cave?" Ghost Detective Xu couldn't help being curious and asked aside.

Even Boss Wang, who was nagging and muttering non-stop, was attracted by the story, calmed down, and listened to his old father talking about ancient times.

"A lot of unexplainable things happened. Mr. Zhang also knows that the ferryman has some means to deal with evil spirits, but..." Mr. Wang stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, just shook his head and sighed.

"The bronze fragment was found in the cave?" My heart moved and I asked.

"Yes, the cave is dangerous, but there are also many treasures, and there are not only fragments of Xia Yu's bronze tripod in the cave." Mr. Wang stared straight at me.

To be honest, my heart is moved. The temptation of the dragon vein map of Kyushu to Feng Shui masters is far beyond the imagination of outsiders.

"The blood lotus root is in the depths of the cave. I just glanced at it back then, and I just wanted to escape." Mr. Wang recalled the past, with fear remaining in his eyes.

I fell silent, and from the old man's words, I could tell that the mysterious cave was definitely not so dangerous.

And the situation is different now, the cave is located at the bottom of the water, and the difficulty of exploration has increased exponentially.

Mr. Wang didn't speak, but kept smoking, and the smoke covered his face.

"This past event, if I hadn't met Mr. Zhang, I would never have mentioned it in my life. The cave is extremely dangerous. Mr. Zhang can choose whether to go or not." Mr. Wang smoked half a cigarette and said slowly.

At this moment, my heart is extremely tangled.

I am very moved by the fragments of Xia Yu's bronze tripod, but the danger of the cave is daunting.

"I can find friends and borrow professional-grade diving equipment. I can go in and explore with underwater robots first." Ghost Tan Xu said excitedly.

My heart skipped a beat, thinking that the times are different now, maybe I can really try it?
"Grandpa, tell me the location of the cave, I can't guarantee whether you can get the blood lotus root." I didn't finish my sentence.

"No problem, as long as Mr. Zhang does his best, no matter whether it can be done or not, the old man will give you this piece of bronze." Mr. Wang was very bold, and pushed the small box in front of me.

I don't get rewarded for nothing, and I haven't written my horoscope yet, so I don't have the nerve to ask for the other party's things for nothing, and I presume that I will talk about it when I come back.

Ghost Detective Xu is very keen on this kind of exploration, took out a pen and notebook, and carefully memorized the location of the cave.

Boss Wang rushed over, held my hand tightly, and said in an excited tone, "Mr. Zhang, as long as I can make up for Ah Ming, I am willing to pay any amount."

Embarrassment flashed across my eyes, and I glanced at Xiaoxuan's stepmother, who was in a good mood, with a simple and honest face and no other expressions.

"Go away, Mr. Zhang is a common man who likes money?" Mr. Wang slapped his son's hand away.

I rubbed my nose with an unnatural expression. Now that the shop is out of business, I have no money on hand, and gods can’t go hungry. In fact, I would rather be a layman with a lot of money.

After chatting for a while, we said our goodbyes and left. Ghost Detective Xu was in a state of excitement along the way. The car almost hit a utility pole, which made my back break out in cold sweat.

"Old Xu, do you need to be so excited, you are not usually so temperamental?" I said with lingering fear.

Ghost Detective Xu slowed down the car, smiled apologetically, turned his head and stared at the front, and explained with some embarrassment: "You don't know, Mr. Zhen invested real money, and the office has not improved for a long time. I feel pressure in my heart." How big, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.”

I was stunned. I didn't expect the other party to be excited for this reason. I patted the other party's shoulder and felt that I didn't make friends with him. This is a reliable and reliable partner.

Early the next morning, I made an appointment with Ghost Detective Xu at Zhen Qingyi's villa. When facing Zhen Qingyi, I didn't know how to speak.

Every time I come back, within a few days, I have to leave in a hurry. The two get together less and leave more, which makes me feel a strong sense of guilt.

Ghost Detective Xu arrived before me, chatting on the phone, still holding a pen and paper in his hand, taking notes from time to time.

"Old Xu has already said that I will also participate in this event." Zhen Qingyi stared at me with a pair of phoenix eyes.

I, Nuonuo, didn't know how to speak, and wanted to refuse with dangerous reasons, but seeing the other party's eyes, I swallowed the words again.

In the end, I gritted my teeth, thinking that I can't even protect a woman, what a man I am, and said decisively: "Let's go together, it's considered a trip."

Zhen Qingyi smiled, with a pretty face like a peony blooming, which made me dizzy.

"I'll go get ready, you and Lao Xu, discuss the details." Zhen Qingyi stood up cheerfully and trotted towards the road.

I rubbed my nose and decided to put aside those worries about the mess, and treat this trip as a trip.

After the phone call, Ghost Detective Xu came over and sat on the sofa, took a sip of water, and said, "The equipment has been contacted, and the professional-grade goods that I asked my acquaintances to rent will be delivered in the afternoon."

"After so many years, I don't know if the cave is still there." I lit a cigarette for the other party.

"It's sealed, but it can still be dug up. I'm afraid that the contents inside will be washed away by the water, so there's nothing I can do." Ghost Tan Xu lit a cigarette.

"Don't expect too much, just treat it as a trip." I took a deep breath and exhaled the smoke ring.

After a while, Zhen Qingyi came down from the stairs, holding the mobile phone in his hand, smiled mysteriously, and said, "There is one more person going on this trip, it's an acquaintance!"

"Who?" I asked curiously. It's only been a few minutes, and I feel that a woman's mouth is just unreliable.

"Keep it secret, you'll know when the time comes." Zhen Qingyi let it go and walked towards the garage.

The person contacted by Ghost Detective Xu was very punctual. Before noon, several large boxes of equipment had already been delivered.

I looked at those alloy boxes and felt a little headache. These things are not small, and Zhen Qingyi's Hummer may not be able to carry them.

It was agreed to set off the next morning, and I had something to prepare, so I left first.

On the way, I called my second uncle and asked him if he knew how to use the astrolabe, but the result was naturally disappointing.

When I returned to my shop, I dug out the broken scriptures, crammed together, and learned two more seal techniques.

One is called Wuding Wujia Seal, which is a kind of seal formula for blessing and gain, and its effect is stronger than that of dispelling evil spirits.

There is also an attack-type seal formula called Kuigeng watermark, which is very suitable for underwater environments.

It's a pity that the few Earth Shrinking Talismans obtained by Cao Lingzhong are too esoteric. I tried to copy them, but failed.

Before going to bed, I deliberately looked through the records about the Yellow River in the Xiangjing. Unfortunately, because the Xiangjing was too incomplete, I didn't find any useful information.

Waking up early in the morning, I hurriedly washed up, ate something casually, and took a taxi to Zhen Qingyi's villa.

As soon as he got off the taxi, he saw a fiery red off-road vehicle parked in front of Zhen Qingyi's villa, and he was puzzled, not knowing who had come.

Before entering the villa, I heard a familiar laughter, my heart skipped a beat, and I said to myself: So it was her!

When I walked in the door, I saw Li Xiaolei's charming face. The girl stared at me with a half-smile and asked me if I was surprised.

Of course I was surprised, and I don't know when Zhen Qingyi became so familiar with this foxy girl.

At the same time, I feel a little headache, because this girl, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I don't know what troubles I will encounter when traveling with her.

"Why, sister Xiaolei is not welcome? People keep praising you, saying that you are a hero who saved the beauty, and that you are righteous." Zhen Qingyi walked over and said with a half-smile, his expression was exactly the same as that of the charming girl.

I cursed secretly in my heart, the vixen really caused trouble to my ancestors, and before I left the house, I was shot.
