Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 46 I am the most trustworthy
Shentian released his divine consciousness and took in everything within a few hundred meters around him. Then he felt the aura of more than ten talismans from it.

I remember that before being sealed, Shentian had instructed Qingmei to put these talismans into a magic box and seal it.

Now the magic box is nowhere to be found.

I think that during the changes over the past few thousand years, the magic attached to the box dissipated and the talismans stored inside were scattered.

Although Shentian could easily collect the talismans in the cave by controlling the shadow soldiers, Shentian still wanted to test Beth's ability to see if he could still do things normally under such circumstances.

After all, Shentian doesn't want to be like the Holy Lord, with useless trash under his command.

After hearing Shentian's explanation, Beth quickly stood up from the ground.

He picked up the flashlight he had dropped earlier and began searching for the talisman in the gold according to Shentian's description.

Not long after, when pushing a golden jar, Beth found a talisman with a monkey pattern on it at the bottom of the jar.

Bes presented the talisman and said, "Master Shenshentian, is this the talisman you are talking about?"

"Yes, it seems you have proved your worth." Shentian said, and a shadow soldier stepped forward to take the talisman and embedded it on the stone statue of Shentian.

The sixteen kinds of divine powers then returned to one of them.

Shentian felt that his strength had recovered a lot.

So he controlled the other shadow soldiers and collected all the talismans scattered throughout the cave.

One, two, three.
Until the ninth one.

There was no more scent of the talisman in the cave.

Shentian felt the abundant magic power in his body and said with emotion: "It seems that the other seven talismans were lost in the long years."

"Should I also start searching the world for talismans like the Holy Lord?"

"Sir, I know the whereabouts of the remaining talismans. As long as you release us as agreed, I am willing to bring the talismans to you!" Bess said hurriedly after hearing this.

Hearing this, Shentian looked at Beth with scrutiny. From the very beginning, he seemed to have sensed the other person's aura somewhere before.

After pondering for a long time, Shen Tian finally remembered something and said suddenly, "I remember now. Are you the descendant of that human?"

Two hundred years ago, Shentian actually woke up once.

That awakening was just like this time, with an expedition team coming here to look for treasure.

However, that awakening was extremely short. Before Shentian could summon the shadow soldiers, the treasure hunters left with a large amount of gold.

Shentian only remembered that the leader was a man with blond hair, and had the same blood as Bess in front of him.

Beth nodded and admitted generously: "Yes, the human you are talking about should be my grandfather. I have seen similar talismans in his room, but I didn't know what they were at that time."

"If possible, I'd like to use the spell in exchange for the lives of the three of us!"

"Are you sure the talisman is still there?" Shen Tiandao said.

Beth thought for a moment and said, "I can only confirm that one amulet is still in my family, because that amulet has always been worn by my grandmother."

"Is your grandmother still alive?"

"Yes, she is 211 years old. I don't know why my grandmother's appearance has not changed at all after so many years."

Having said this, Beth suddenly paused, as if she had thought of something, and looked up suddenly.

Shentian's eyes flashed, and he said, "You guessed right, that is the power contained in the spell."

"Dogs are humans' most loyal servants. They symbolize immortality and eternal youth. Your grandmother must have unintentionally activated the magic within the spell, allowing her to live to this day."

"If I remove the talisman, will my grandmother die immediately?" Beth asked, somewhat confused. Shen Tiandao said, "Yes, her life should have ended over a hundred years ago. It is the power of the dog that has kept her alive until now."

"Of course I know that you humans value family, and it would be unkind of you to kill her with your own hands, so I won't let you do this for me in vain."

"For every talisman I've scattered around the world that you find, you can take one-seventh of the gold in this cave."

"I think you came from the far west just for this gold!"

Beth swallowed and looked moved.

Shentian was right. In fact, since his grandfather passed away, his family had fallen into decline and even had difficulty maintaining a normal life.

In addition, his grandmother has been alive and cannot bring any benefits to the family. She is no different from a burden, otherwise he would not have become a treasure hunter.

So Shentian's words,
It spoke directly to Beth's heart.

Without much hesitation, Beth agreed: "I promise you, but you have to give me some gold first so that I can settle my debts."

"Of course, I am the most trustworthy!" Shentian thought, and a black shadow soldier walked forward holding a box.

When the box was opened, a deep red gem was lying inside. When the flashlight shone on it, it revealed a textured and lustrous luster.

"This is... Pigeon Blood Stone!"

"And it's top-grade pigeon blood stone!"

Rose, the archaeologist next to her, exclaimed.

Beth asked, "Is it worth a lot?"

Rose was amazed. "It's more than just valuable. Pigeon Blood Stone of this quality is always in short supply. It will easily settle your current debt."

The shadow soldier closed the box and handed it to Beth.

Shentian warned: "I only give you three days. Within three days, I want to see the dog talisman appear before my eyes. Otherwise, you don't want to know the consequences!"

"I understand. When I go back, I will get the talisman from my grandmother and send it to you!" Beth took the box carefully.

"That's best." Shen Tian closed his eyes, "You can leave now."

"Yes, thank you, Master Shentian!"

Beth nodded repeatedly and dragged Jack away.

Soon after, the three of them walked out of the forest and came to the seaside, where there was a small boat they had prepared in advance.

Only at this moment did Beth recover from the excitement of surviving the disaster. She opened the box and took the pigeon blood stone, which was the size of a baby's fist, in her palm and examined it carefully.

Pigeon blood stone is even more beautiful under natural light, and exudes a noble texture everywhere.

Rose watched this scene and asked worriedly, "Beth, are you really going to give your grandmother's talisman to Shentian?"

"What else?" Beth smiled bitterly, looking towards the seaside horizon and said, "Rose, we are making a deal with the real devil. You should know the consequences of betraying the devil."

Hearing this, Rose thought of those strange shadow soldiers.

The word "devil" is a taboo in Western countries, and she is well aware of the consequences of making a deal with the devil.

It can be said that the fate of the three of them was determined from the moment they stepped into the cave.
