[I personally went to examine Zhang Ruitong's body.]

[I discovered that the Qilin tattoo on Zhang Ruitong's body had disappeared, and the biomass in his blood was also disappearing rapidly, even faster than the blood I took from him.]

I contacted Asia Magazine about this matter, but they didn't know what was going on.

[Although I don't understand what exactly happened, I know that Zhang Ruitong's death must be related to me.]

[Out of guilt, I sought out Taoist Cui, the Taoist priest who wrote the list of disasters in Tianjin.]

[I want Zhang Ruitong to leave with peace of mind.]

……

"A list of disasters?"

This was the first time Zhang Chulan heard this statement.

"Master, do you know what this list of disasters is?"

The old Taoist priest spoke at this time.

"This list of disasters is a tradition and custom from the old times, also known as the "disaster paper," and is usually done by people in our Taoist sect."

"Come to think of it, the Tianshi Temple also had this skill, and I also wrote the list of disasters for others."

"That did add quite a bit of money to the incense offerings."

"The Book of Changes says: A family that accumulates good will surely have more blessings; a family that accumulates evil will surely have more disasters."

"This list of disasters is specifically designed to dispel the resentment accumulated after death."

"As for the contents of this list of disasters, they are very particular. It must clearly state the identity of the deceased, the specific time of death, the cause of death, when the disaster occurred, and when the burial took place. It must be written on a piece of paper and burned in the underworld."

"It's like a birth certificate today, it's the equivalent of a death certificate."

"It can make the dead live a smoother life down there."

Hearing that there are so many details, Zhang Chulan was also a little moved.

“This custom used to be quite good.”

"It would be a shame to give it up now."

The old Taoist priest nodded after hearing this.

"really."

"There's another way to use this list of disasters, which is to determine if this person died unjustly."

"For example, if you carry a coffin out of the city, you can't leave without a disaster notice. Moreover, the soldiers will open the coffin to examine it. If the disaster notice says that the person was burned to death, but the person was beaten to death, then we Taoist priests who wrote the disaster notice will also suffer the consequences and be sued for the murder."

Everyone was moved after hearing this.

There is a reason why some of the customs in the past came into being.

Feng Baobao continued to read the rest of the content.

……

[Due to the hot weather, corpses are prone to decay, so I discussed with the people from the Nine Gates and decided to burn Zhang Ruitong's body on the spot and transport the ashes back to Sand City.]

However, after Zhang Ruitong's body was cremated, many insects appeared in the ashes. These insects were not afraid of the flames at all, as if they had been parasitic on Zhang Ruitong since childhood.

Seeing these insects filled me with joy, because I knew clearly that they might hold the secret to the Zhang family's longevity!

When people heard about the insects that were not afraid of fire, the first thing that came to their mind was the poisonous insect.

These must be poisonous insects.

I just don’t know what kind of poisonous insect it is, it can’t be killed even in the fire.

……

After collecting the insects, I discovered that there were nine of them in the ashes, each with a different head shape, like a dragon giving birth to nine sons, each one unique.

[But the common feature of these insects is that they are all slender and worm-like.]

Although I've never seen one before, I had a vague feeling it was a poisonous insect. So after saying goodbye to the people from the Nine Sects, I used Fire Escape to return to the Five Immortals Sect.

[After Lan Ling identified it through the Gu Book, she confirmed that this was a type of Gu insect that was prevalent during the Tang Dynasty.]

This Gu is called the Nine-Headed Gu, and each of its nine heads is unique. Legend has it that it grants the inhabitant longevity and good health.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard it.

Is this insect so good? It can make people strong and healthy and prolong their lives without any side effects.

……

[After research, I discovered that although this nine-headed Gu appears to have nine bodies on the outside, if it enters the human body, the nine bodies will merge into one and parasitize the human spine.]

[It looks like the Nine-Headed Monster from Journey to the West.]

News that I had brought the Nine-Headed Gu back to the sect quickly spread throughout the Five Immortals Sect. The sect didn't have any of this kind of Gu in stock.

[The Five Immortal Elders hope that I can hand this Nine-Headed Gu over to them so that they can research how to cultivate it.]

[Of course I didn't refuse, but I had a vague feeling that the Nine-Headed Gu's effect might not be as simple as just making people live longer.]

Out of curiosity, I set off for the Northeast, wanting to see what secrets the Zhang family was hiding.

Chapter 117: Good Materials for Refining, the Jade Pipa in Xuanyuan Tomb

I heard that the owner of this notebook is going to the Northeast.

Everyone looked at each other with emotion.

Are we going to cross Shanhaiguan again?

Wang Ye even said:

"If I have the chance, I would also like to visit Northeast China. There are so many mysterious things in Northeast China that I cannot experience in the mainland."

Upon seeing this, Taoist Master Yunlong immediately attacked his disciple.

"You should strengthen your basic skills first!"

"With your small body, you'll be demolished if you go there."

Wang Ye chuckled.

"Master, then I can just cultivate the Three Vehicle Power to perfection before going."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Yunlong nodded.

"It's good to have this determination."

at this time.

Feng Baobao has continued reading.

When I came to Northeast China again, I first went to find Daji.

The Hu family's grandfather told me that Daji is no longer in Changbai Mountain, but has gone to live alone at the former site of Xuanyuan Tomb.

[The Xuanyuan Tomb is located in the Xuanyuan Temple. To ensure a smooth trip to the Zhang family, I had no choice but to use Fire Escape to travel to the Xuanyuan Tomb again.]

"Xuanyuan Tomb?"

Zhang Chulan was a little confused, and then he wanted to take out his cell phone to check where the Xuanyuan Tomb was.

But when I took out my phone, I found there was no signal.

Because of the twenty-four-section valley qi bureau, all electronic signals are shielded.

Taoist Master Yunlong standing by knew this place.

"No need to check, I know."

Seeing that Taoist Yunlong knew that place, Zhang Chulan was a little curious.

“Does this place still exist?”

Taoist Master Yunlong nodded.

"Yes, of course there is."

"Xuanyuan Tomb is actually the Tomb of the Yellow Emperor. I just don't know if the current version of the Yellow Emperor's Tomb is different from the one recorded in this notebook."

"Or somewhere else."

At this moment, Feng Baobao had continued reading.

When I arrived at the Xuanyuan Temple, I didn't find the entrance to the Xuanyuan Tomb. I had to follow the method Daji had told me to find her. However, I didn't expect that the real Xuanyuan Tomb was on the seabed near the coast of the East China Sea.

So I rushed to the coast of the East China Sea without stopping.

[The legend of the Yellow Emperor's tomb is indeed a fake. The tomb itself was built on the seabed, and you're still building a cenotaph for him there.]

Hearing that Huangdi actually built his tomb on the coast of the East China Sea, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in admiration.

Zhang Chulan thought about it.

"This East China Sea coast seems to be at the mouth of the Yangtze River. The current in such a place is extremely turbulent. How could it be built with the technology at that time?"

Wang Ye had some guesses.

"Perhaps, during the Yellow Emperor's time, there were many extremely powerful people with supernatural powers. After all, even practicing Qi back then was easier than it is now."

Zhang Chulan still couldn't believe it.

"Even with the technology of our time, it's not easy to build something in a place with fast-flowing water like that."

"But speaking of which, there were such powerful monsters during the Shang Dynasty."

"It's understandable that there were hundreds of giant monsters during the Yellow Emperor's time."

At this time, Huang Boren said:

"There's something that's both confidential and not confidential, I can tell you."

"In XSQD, the archaeological team discovered a huge cemetery on the seabed. It is said to have been built during Zheng He's voyages to the West during the Ming Dynasty."

"Experts have unearthed tens of thousands of cultural relics, which are extremely valuable and of great significance."

"This means that even during the Ming Dynasty, people had the ability to build tombs on the seabed."

"During the Yellow Emperor's time, ghosts and gods were prevalent. I'm afraid it could have been built solely with the power of ghosts and gods."

Hearing that there was such a thing, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Mr. Huang, do you know who owns this cemetery?"

Mr. Huang shook his head.

"Because this underwater tomb was robbed before."

"The identity of the owner of the cemetery has not yet been solved."

"However, it is very likely that it was a man named Wang Canghai, who was a very famous geographer and architect during the Ming Dynasty. He participated in the construction of many Ming Dynasty buildings."

"I just don't know why they would build their own grave in a place like that."

Everyone was quite surprised when they heard it.

I didn't expect this to happen.

When Zhang Chulan heard the identity of this architect, he also began to guess.

"What do you think? Could it be that Wang Zanghai took advantage of his position and built a tomb for himself while constructing a tomb for some important figure?"

Huang Boren's eyes lit up.

"So Chu Lan, what you're saying is that there's a high possibility that there's another important figure's tomb beneath or near Wang Canghai's tomb?"

Zhang Chulan nodded immediately.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Huang Boren no longer hesitated.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll go talk to Dr. Xia."

“Let them search more nearby and around.”
