Tomb Raider: Evolution of the Red Dragon, Starting from the Ancient City of Jingjue

Chapter 216 Half of the Ancient Yao Divine Jade, the Third Zhang Qiling

Zhang Qiling frowned: "I don't know either. It's just that the moment I saw you, I felt very familiar, and your name popped up in my mind."

Jiang Hua nodded, and did not ask any more questions, but said: "Let me see what you have in your hand."

Zhang Qiling gave half of the strange jade in his hand to Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua took the strange jade and looked at it, and couldn't help but shudder all over.

[Get half of the Ancient Yao Divine Jade, and find the other half to synthesize the Ancient Yao Divine Jade! ]

The system voice rang!
This is actually half a piece of ancient Yao divine jade!
Jiang Hua was overjoyed. This was really something that he got without any effort. He didn't expect that Zhang Qiling actually had half a piece of ancient Yao divine jade in his hand. This was simply too good to be true!

"Master Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Xie and Jiang Hua were close to each other, and he noticed Jiang Hua's body tremble, so he asked worriedly.

Jiang Chen also looked at Jiang Hua, but more importantly, his eyes fell on the ancient jade in Jiang Hua's hand.

He could see that the half piece of strange jade was a good thing.

But he couldn't beat Jiang Hua.

It’s impossible to rob!

Jiang Hua said: "It's okay."

However, he looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "This strange jade is useful to me, give it to me."

Zhang Qiling nodded without hesitation.

Jiang Hua asked again: "By the way, where did you get this jade?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head.

Wu Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Master Jiang, you don't need to ask anymore. We have asked a lot of questions, but he doesn't know anything. He doesn't even know where this place is."

Jiang Hua actually didn't have much hope.

Half a piece of the ancient Yao divine jade appeared here, and it was most likely taken out from the Zhang family's ancient building.

Or it could be in the jade vein beneath the Zhang family’s ancient building.

Therefore, the Zhang Family Ancient Building is a must-visit.

Jiang Hua was just about to put away the Gu Yao Divine Jade, but suddenly, a figure jumped in from the window, and the figure grabbed the Gu Yao Divine Jade in Jiang Hua's hand without hesitation!

Surprisingly, he wanted to snatch Jiang Hua's ancient Yao divine jade!
"court death!"

Jiang Hua's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and pressed. The figure was knocked flying by Jiang Hua, spitting out blood. He retreated several meters and almost fell out of the stilt house.

It was fortunate that Jiang Hua restrained his strength, otherwise, the man would have died.

Jiang Hua put away the ancient Yao divine jade and looked at the man.

Everyone looked clearly at who was coming.

The man looked like a clay figure, his body was covered with mud. Or rather, it looked like mud, and his face could not be seen clearly.

"who are you?"

Wu Xie looked at the man warily.

However, the man did not speak, but just stared at Jiang Hua, then looked at Zhang Qiling, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Hua said calmly: "Don't look at me, I know your name is Zhang Qiling."

"what?"

Wu Xie and Wang Banyue stared at the clay figure with their eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief, "How is this possible? He...he is Menyouping?"

"Master Jiang, are you mistaken? Isn't the young man here?"

Wang Banyue also said.

Only the clay man was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Hua's words, and looked at Jiang Hua in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect that Jiang Hua knew so much!
Jiang Hua said calmly, "More than ten years ago, you formed an archaeological team of more than ten people and came here to investigate. In fact, you were just here to attend a funeral for a certain important person, and you were one of them, right?"

"Your body was corroded by the strong alkali, so you became the half-human, half-ghost appearance you have now. The reason you used mud to cover yourself up is to make people think that the layer of mud on your body is actually burnt flesh!"

After Jiang Hua said this, the clay figure's eyes changed drastically and looked at Jiang Hua in horror.

Wu Xie said, "Master Jiang, are you saying that the archaeological team back then was actually here to attend the funeral?"

Jiang Hua glanced at Chen Wenjin intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at the clay figurine: "Many years ago, a mysterious organization searched the world for Zhang Qiling, and you are the Zhang Qiling who was found!"

"Because that big shot knows that after the corpse is sent to the Zhang Family Ancient Tower, some incredible changes will occur. So as the Zhang Family Qiling, you naturally know about the Zhang Family Ancient Tower. It is the best thing to have you lead the funeral procession. Am I right?"

After listening to Jiang Hua's words, the clay figure trembled and his eyes were filled with shock.

"How did you know!"

Finally, the clay man spoke.

Obviously, everything Jiang Hua said was true!

He is really "Zhang Qiling".

Wang Banyue said, "Wait, wait, wait a minute! Let me sort it out first! He is Zhang Qiling, our little brother, your Menyouping, your Xiao Zhang?"

Wang Banyue pointed at Zhang Qiling.

Jiang Hua nodded.

Wang Banyue asked again: "Who is he then? Is he a clone?"

At this time Wu Xie said: "I understand! Fatty, do you remember what Master Jiang said before, Qi Ling is just a code name, all the patriarchs of the Zhang family are called Zhang Qi Ling! Do you remember the corpse that looked like Men Youping that we saw in the Queen Mother's Underground Palace in the Snake Marsh last time? Master Jiang said that was also a Zhang Qi Ling."

"So, the person in front of me should be the previous patriarch of the Zhang family!"

Wang Banyue was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

Looking at Jiang Hua, Jiang Hua nodded and said, "Not bad." Now everyone understood.

Chen Wenjin also clenched her fists. She looked at Jiang Hua. Jiang Hua's terrifyingness once again exceeded her understanding.

She never thought that Jiang Hua knew such a secret matter!

"You are also a poor man. Let's go. I don't want to kill you."

Jiang Hua said lightly.

The clay figure said coldly, "Do you really think you are so powerful? Let me tell you, you can't just go into the Zhang Family Ancient Building if you want to! I give you a piece of advice, it's best not to go in, otherwise everyone will die in there."

Jiang Hua said: "Thank you for your advice, but you may be disappointed. There is no place in this world that can stop me, Jiang Hua. No one can stop me from going where I want to go. Go away."

The clay figure snorted, turned around and jumped away.

Jiang Hua glanced at Zhang Qiling, and then said, "Since the house has been cleaned up, let's stay here."

So, the group stayed here, waiting to go look for the Zhang family ancient building early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, everyone got up, went to Agui's house to get some food, and then went to the Demon Lake.

The Monster Lake seemed to be not far from the village, but in fact it was still some distance away. It took Jiang Hua and his team an hour or so to find the Monster Lake.

The lake looked very calm and clear. When everyone looked down, they saw an ancient Yao village at the bottom of the clear lake.

Wu Xie asked curiously, "There is a Yao village down here, why don't we go down and take a look?"

Jiang Hua said: "Do you have diving equipment?"

Wu Xie shook his head: "No."

Jiang Hua shrugged his shoulders: "That's fine. If I have to go down, I will be the only one going down. But I don't want to go down here. Although the Zhang family's ancient building is below, it is not wise to go down from here."

Wu Xie asked: "Then where do we go down?"

Jiang Hua said: "Come with me."

Whether it was Chen Wenjin and the others or others, they all went down from this lake when they came. However, there is only half of the Zhang family ancient building in the lake, so going down from here is not a wise move.

There are many entrances inside this mountain.

So, Jiang Hua took out the Tianji Disk and began to look for the entrance around him.

In a blink of an eye, after searching nearby for another half an hour, Jiang Hua finally found a crack in the rock.

Jiang Hua could be sure that the entrance was beneath the crack in the rock.

So Jiang Hua said: "It's right below, you break it open for us."

Jiang Hua looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen didn't waste any words. He nodded and walked towards the rock formation.

However, at this moment, a low shout sounded.

"stop!"

More than ten people gathered together and surrounded Jiang Hua and the others.

The leader was an old man.

"It's him!"

Chen Wenjin saw the man and lowered her head and said something.

Jiang Hua raised his eyebrows and looked at those people.

It was obvious that the old man who was leading the group, Chen Wenjin, knew him!
These people all had a shotgun in their hands, pointing it at Jiang Hua and the others, making Wu Xie and Wang Banyue afraid to move.

Wu Xie said: "Old man, let's talk it over. We are not bad people!"

"Whether he is a bad guy or not is up to me to decide."

The old man said coldly.

However, Jiang Hua said, "Old man, you must be Panma."

The old man's face changed, and he looked at Jiang Hua in surprise and doubt: "Who are you?"

Jiang Hua didn't reply: "I advise you to put down the gun and get out of here, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable."

"Ha ha!"

Pan Ma seemed to have heard a huge joke: "Don't you know what situation you are in now? I also advise you to be obedient, otherwise you will die here like those archaeological team members more than ten years ago!"

"Did you kill the people from the archaeological team?"

Wu Xie asked.

Pan Ma said, "Of course. How else do you think they died? I tampered with the food I gave them, knocked them unconscious, and then pushed them into the lake to drown. They all died here."

"What a vicious person!"

Wu Xie had an ugly expression on his face and was gritting his teeth.

Pan Ma said, "Who told them to bring so many good things?"

"pity."

As soon as Pan Ma finished speaking, Jiang Hua said calmly: "It's a pity that those people survived in the end."

"you"

Pan Ma widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Hua in disbelief.
