Immortality and Immortality: Liver Experience Begins in the Desert
Chapter 392 Mausoleum
Jiang Qiong looked at his lifeless face, feeling secretly proud, and the sneer on the corner of her mouth became more and more obvious.
"Now, you can tell me honestly why you eavesdropped on my conversation with Lu Chen." Jiang Qiong's voice was low and majestic, with a hint of unquestionable momentum.
The young man shook his head hard, as if trying to struggle out of the fog, but in the end he lowered his eyes weakly.
"I... I'm just a thief." The young man finally spoke, his voice hoarse and weak, as if he was forced to reveal a secret.
His voice echoed in the private room, with a hint of helplessness and despair, and he slowly said: "I was just passing by and saw you talking. I eavesdropped out of curiosity."
"Thief?" Jiang Qiong's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he thought to himself that this boy might not be who he said.
But he did not interrupt the young man's narration, but waited quietly for him to continue.
The young man's voice gradually became clearer. It seemed that under the influence of the drug, his thoughts became more and more frank. He continued to speak slowly: "I grew up in a slum. My parents died early, and I could only make a living by stealing."
"I just happened to pass by here and heard your conversation. I was moved and wanted to listen to a few more words. I didn't expect you to find out."
Jiang Qiong frowned slightly, and felt a little sympathy for the young man's life experience, but it was quickly suppressed.
He asked coldly, "What did you eavesdrop on?"
As if hypnotized, the young man answered without reservation: "You mentioned Lu Chen, it seems that you have offended the Zhu family. You were discussing a deal about spirit stones. I only heard part of it, but I don't know the details."
"Spirit Stone transaction?" Jiang Qiong was shocked. He stared at the young man and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart. "Do you have any other information?"
The young man was slightly startled and felt a little flustered, but the influence of the drug forced him to continue speaking.
Then, he spoke slowly: "I...I really don't know more."
"You say you are a thief, but have you ever thought about the consequences of eavesdropping on other people's secrets?" Jiang Qiong's voice was low and threatening.
The young man seemed touched by these words, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his dazed state and struggled to say more.
"I...I just want to live. I have no ill intentions. Please let me go."
Jiang Qiong's heart was shaken; the young man's innocence and despair made him feel a long-lost sympathy.
"You really don't have any other secrets? The more you know, the better it is for you."
He tried to guide the young man with words, hoping to dig out more information from him.
The young man shook his head, his eyes revealing a trace of despair and helplessness, and continued slowly: "I have no secrets. I am just a thief. I have no other skills except stealing."
"I don't have any background, and no one will stand up for me."
Jiang Qiong's heart was in turmoil, but he quickly suppressed these emotions and looked at the young man coldly: "Then you can only accept your fate."
"Fate?" The young man muttered to himself, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but say to himself unwillingly: "I never thought that fate would be so cruel."
"Destiny is often chosen by oneself." Jiang Qiong said coldly, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.
As the drug took effect, the young man's consciousness became increasingly blurred, but the unwillingness in his heart always remained.
He secretly swore that even though he was a thief, he would never succumb to Jiang Qiong's coercion.
"Let me ask you again, if I hadn't found you and you overheard my conversation, what would you have done?"
Jiang Qiong continued to ask.
"I will go to the Zhu family without hesitation and sell your information for money." The young man said without hesitation.
As soon as this was said.
Jiang Qiong's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then the cold determination in his heart turned into action and he instantly rushed towards the young man.
Although the young man was terrified, his body was unable to move due to the influence of the drug, and his eyes showed helplessness and despair.
A silent cry came from his throat, as if protesting against the cruelty of fate.
"You should pay the price for your choice." Jiang Qiong's voice was like frost in the cold winter, revealing ruthless determination.
As the words fell, his palm suddenly swept out, turned into a black shadow, and hit the young man's heart directly.
The young man only had time to open his eyes wide, his face full of unwillingness and fear, before he was hit by the palm. Blood spurted out, and his body fell down weakly like a rag. He finally lay silently on the ground, with no life in his eyes.
Jiang Qiong stood beside the young man's body, glancing around coldly, but quickly calculating the next steps in her mind.
Having killed countless people, he was already accustomed to such cruel choices, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. The innocence and despair of this young man did not leave any ripples in his heart.
"Do your own fault, don't live."
Jiang Qiong muttered to himself, then collected his thoughts and began to plunder the young man's spoils.
The young man's storage bag looked ordinary, but it seemed particularly precious in Jiang Qiong's hands.
His fingers deftly slid across the mouth of the bag, opening it in an instant.
There were a dazzling array of items inside, and what caught the eye was a pile of magical instruments gleaming with light, each emitting a faint aura, and they seemed to be some extraordinary treasures.
"It's really not simple."
The corners of Jiang Qiong's mouth rose slightly, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
He carefully took out the magic weapons one by one, and examined them carefully. He found a short sword among them. There were ancient patterns engraved on the sword, which exuded a sharp aura. It was obviously a top-grade magic weapon.
In addition, there are several talismans that are shining and seem to contain powerful magic power.
"This kid does have some belongings." Jiang Qiong sighed to himself and continued to rummage through the storage bag.
In the storage bag, he found several bottles of pills, which were tightly sealed and filled with the aroma of medicine.
Jiang Qiong opened one of the bottles, and suddenly a strong spiritual energy hit her in the face, and her heart was shocked.
"This is a recovery pill that can quickly restore spiritual power!" Jiang Qiong was delighted, and then he took out all the pills one by one, carefully calculating their value.
Just as he was about to take out the last item, his fingers touched a scroll.
Jiang Qiong frowned slightly and thought to himself, "What is this?"
Jiang Qiong carefully unfolded the scroll, and the scene before him made his heart suddenly tremble.
The scroll turned out to be a treasure map with complex symbols and routes drawn on it, marking a secret location.
There were ancient marks on the edge of the map, and Jiang Qiong recognized it at a glance. It was the treasure left behind by a legendary hermit monk.
Seeing this scene, a strong interest instantly ignited in his heart, as if he saw endless wealth and opportunities for cultivation.
"This is really a pleasant surprise." Jiang Qiong curled up a cold smile and secretly thought about how to use this treasure map.
He collected all the treasures one by one, then dragged the young man's body aside, thinking to himself that he should not leave any traces.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiong condensed a flame and burned the young man's body to ashes.
Finish these.
He stood up, straightened his clothes, glanced around the private room, and saw Lu Chen walking out of the bedroom.
"What just happened?"
Lu Chen asked.
"Nothing, we just caught a thief." Jiang Qiong said, "I'm going to go out for a while, you wait here."
"Okay." Lu Chen said without hesitation.
Received a large reward from Lu Chen.
Jiang Qiong then slowly walked out of the room.
The light from outside poured in through the window and shone on his face, as if covering him with a layer of mysterious glow.
"Go find the treasure."
Walking out of the private room, Jiang Qiong's steps were firm and powerful, as if she was gathering strength for the coming storm.
Jiang Qiong walked out of the inn. The night was as dark as ink, with twinkling stars, setting off his stern face.
The moonlight shines through the clouds onto the earth, casting a layer of silver gauze over the surrounding scenery.
His heart was filled with desire for the unknown, and the treasure map in his hand was like a bright light, guiding him in the direction of progress.
Following the winding path, Jiang Qiong headed north, over mountains and across streams.
While hurrying on the road, the hustle and bustle of the surroundings was left far behind, with only the sound of the wind and the occasional chirping of insects.
As the mountain became steeper, the air was filled with a fresh scent of earth, as if nature was paving a road to treasure for him.
After walking for several hours, Jiang Qiong finally arrived at the location marked on the treasure map - a remote valley.
The valley is surrounded by towering rock walls, like a hidden world. Only the moonlight can penetrate the obstacles and fall on this mysterious land.
The valley is overgrown with weeds, but you can see wild flowers all over the hills swaying in the breeze, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Is this the valley where the treasure is hidden?" Jiang Qiong whispered to himself, his heart full of anticipation.
He looked around carefully, trying to find the clues depicted on the map.
Holding the treasure map, Jiang Qiong began searching in the valley, his heart full of vigilance.
The air in the valley gradually became colder, as if some uneasy atmosphere was quietly growing.
Just as Jiang Qiong took a step, the stone under his feet suddenly slipped, and Jiang Qiong staggered and almost fell.
He was secretly alert in his heart, because he knew that this was no ordinary place.
After searching for a while, Jiang Qiong found the location of the ruins in the treasure map and found it in front of an ancient tomb.
The stone door of the mausoleum is engraved with complex patterns, which seem to be telling some ancient story.
The stone gate was surrounded by moss, making it look particularly eerie, as if warning him not to approach easily.
"This is where the treasure is hidden." Jiang Qiong thought to himself, gently touching the patterns on the stone door with his fingers, and feeling a faint spiritual energy.
His heart beat faster as he tried to decipher the hidden secrets.
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some kind of mechanism here to open it." Jiang Qiong whispered, thinking to himself. He carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find the mechanism that could trigger the stone door.
After some searching, he finally found a unique stone slab on the right side of the stone gate. It had a smooth surface and seemed like it could be pressed down.
"Try this." Jiang Qiong's heart moved, he stretched out his palm and gently pressed the stone slab.
With a low roar, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage, deep and mysterious.
Jiang Qiong took a deep breath and walked in without hesitation.
The air in the passage was cold and damp, the walls were covered with moss, and there was a smell of decay.
The further he went in, the dimmer the light around him became. Only the treasure map in his hand emitted a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
After walking for a while, Jiang Qiong came to a spacious stone chamber. In the middle of the chamber stood an old coffin, and the surrounding walls were engraved with ancient patterns.
Jiang Qiong was shocked and knew that this was where the legendary treasure was.
He walked towards the coffin carefully, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.
The surface of the coffin was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had been there for a long time.
Jiang Qiong reached out and gently touched the edge of the coffin, feeling a strong spiritual energy coming from inside, as if calling him.
"If I open it, I may get something unexpected." Jiang Qiong thought to himself, then he took a deep breath and prepared to open the coffin.
Just as he was about to push open the coffin lid, suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, the candle in the stone chamber was instantly extinguished, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Jiang Qiong was startled and looked around vigilantly, feeling a cold and chilly aura emanating from the coffin.
"What is this?" Jiang Qiong was alert, holding the magic weapon tightly in his hand, ready to face the impending change. At this moment, the coffin lid slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.
A dried-up corpse lay quietly in the coffin. Although it had decayed, a faint light could still be seen flickering on its body.
Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked, and she knew that she had been drawn into an unpredictable vortex.
"It seems that this treasure journey is destined to be turbulent." Jiang Qiong thought to himself, tightly grasping the dagger in his hand.
Just as Jiang Qiong was staring at the corpse in the coffin.
Suddenly, the withered corpse trembled slightly, as if awakened by some invisible force.
Jiang Qiong's heart tightened and he gripped the handle of the dagger in his hand tightly.
The corpse's eye sockets were sunken and his face was covered with traces of time, but at that moment, those empty eyes actually flashed a faint light.
"Who are you?" Jiang Qiong asked stutteringly, his voice sounding particularly sharp in the silent stone chamber.
"I am the guardian of the ancient tomb, a ghost from thousands of years ago." The corpse's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from a distant time and space, with a creepy majesty.
"Why do you disturb my peace?"
"I... I'm here to look for treasure." Jiang Qiong forced herself to stay calm, but she couldn't help but shudder in her heart.
"Treasure?" The guardian's voice revealed a hint of sneer, and he slowly said: "Do you know that what is buried here is not only wealth, but also endless curses and secrets." (End of this chapter)
