"Wuwu...Xiaojiuer knows. Whatever my brother says, Xiaojiuer will do it."
Gu Jinglan's eyes were full of tears. She was about to cry and complain about her brother's cold attitude towards her. But she suddenly found a piece of her favorite mung bean cake in her hand, and she immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"Mmmmm... I knew it, my brother loves me the most!"
Gu Jinglan's chubby face was full of satisfaction. While eating the cake, he did not forget to carefully look at his brother who was a head taller than him, as if he could not get enough of him.
Gu Cheng took the opportunity to check his pulse, and was relieved after confirming that his pulse was normal. He rubbed his round head and coaxed him:
"Look at you. Have you not finished the homework your brother assigned you? Come on, go and recite it. We adults have something to discuss, and children should not get involved."
Xiao Jiuer looked around suspiciously, thinking that her pretty sister was obviously younger than her, so why couldn't she participate when she did?
But out of habit, she listened to her brother and nodded aggrievedly before running away.
Gu Chenghui waved his hand, signaling the secret guards to follow and protect him. He then turned to look at the young man who came with Gu Jinglan:
"Bai Ci, do you have something to say to me?"
The man named Baici really has skin as white as porcelain, pale and bloodless, and has a bit of a tech geek temperament.
Wuwu glanced at Sheng Nanxi standing next to him, and wanted to ask the master to let the little baby back away. But then he saw the half of Bai's jade pendant tied around the little baby's waist, and he was shocked.
But he immediately suppressed his shock and no longer mentioned asking the little baby to avoid the matter. He replied respectfully:
"Young Master, not long ago, the head of the family discovered a secret room under the Bai family ancestral hall by chance. He asked the elders of the Hidden Weapon Pavilion to study it for a long time before opening the secret room. Later, he found several pieces of Penglai Lingyu fragments inside."
"Those fragments looked exactly like the ones in the hands of the elders in the clan. Everyone immediately thought that this might be related to the Bai family letter in the legend, and wanted to piece these fragments together."
Bai Ci swallowed the water and looked around. When he was sure there was no one around, he continued:
"At first, we didn't know how to solve it. We spent more than half a month researching but still couldn't find the answer. Unexpectedly, when we were sorting out the library, we found some broken ancient books. After carefully studying the contents, we found that they had a great origin. We tried the method above and actually glued the fragments together and restored them!"
"But after it was restored, it was difficult to open. After studying it for a long time, everyone agreed that the blood groove on top was the key to cracking it. It must be poured with blood from a specific person before it can be opened."
"The head of the family and the elders all tried it with blood, but it didn't show any reaction. The head of the family... the head of the family asked me to bring it here for you to try."
Bai Ci carefully took out a wooden box from his arms.
Gu accepted it. As soon as he opened it, he was dazzled by the bright light reflected by the things inside.
There was a square object lying on the red satin, a bit like a seal or a small box.
The pair of Penglai Lingyu that he and Xiao Xier had were extremely rare and top-grade jades. In addition to the excellent quality, this piece of jade also had a silver-blue glow all over it, which added a murderous aura.
The whole body is carved with fine patterns interwoven into ancient totems. The dragon and phoenix rising into the sky at the top are solemn and solemn, indicating the extraordinary identity of the original owner.
Gu Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the jade carefully. Not noticing anything, he just kept saying it, cutting his finger and squeezing blood to drip onto the top blood groove.
“Pah—”
As soon as the bright red blood fell, it was absorbed by the spiritual jade. Then, several crisp sounds were heard, as if some mechanism had loosened.
Gu Cheng observed for a while, then pushed the dragon head and phoenix head to the sides. Sure enough, he saw that the jade that looked intact had opened up and an old scroll fell out!
The boy was wearing special gloves, so he was not afraid that the thing might be poisonous. He immediately unfolded it carefully.
This sight made his pupils slightly narrow and he sucked in a cool breath.
It was the first time that Sheng Nanxi saw the little boy so shocked, and out of curiosity she tiptoed over to check it out.
After seeing this, I couldn't help but open my mouth slightly in surprise.
This, this, this... is a map of various locations in the Northern Peach Blossom Land!
Moreover, there are several places marked on the map of Peach Blossom Spring, as if some treasure or extremely valuable things are buried there!
She had also been to the Evil Dragon Swamp when she rescued Lin Shaoxuan and others before.
I wanted to take the opportunity to go in and find out what was going on. Unfortunately, the place was filled with poisonous miasma that blocked my sight, and the terrain was complicated, so it was really hard to find.
She was worried about Gu Cheng's safety, so she didn't go in any further. She just wanted to come and take a good look when she had time.
Who has ever thought that after searching everywhere for something, you can find it without any effort? !
On this map, the specific location of each outbreak, as well as the time when the poisonous miasma is at its thinnest, are clearly marked!
What is the origin of this Bai family? !
Such a precious thing was hidden under the ancestral hall! And only Xiao Cheng was able to open it?!
The original book didn't mention this part of the plot! Could it be that Xiao Cheng really has a hidden identity that hasn't been written out? !
These thoughts were swirling around in her mind. Gu Xiaocheng suddenly thought of something and chuckled. He handed the map to her for safekeeping and said leisurely:
"It seems... we have to go to the Dragon Swamp."
"Someone reported not long ago that many members of the Bai family have been missing recently. After careful investigation, we found that the first few missing cases occurred years ago. It was only because an insider cut off the intelligence and encountered natural disasters that the matter was kept secret."
"The clan has also sent people to search for these disciples everywhere, but they have not found any clues. I guess... the disappearance of these disciples may be related to the abnormality in front of the evil dragon swamp. Moreover..."
Gu Cheng paused and looked at Sheng Nanxi. As expected, he saw the little kid putting away the scroll and showing a sly smile.
"Besides, this villain's death seemed a bit... too easy!"
"Look, they can manipulate the dignitaries and people of various countries with their own strength, and they seem to be able to spy on the future by chance. Even if they are not on guard against Xiao Cheng, it is unlikely that they will be defeated by them in just a few moves..."
Moreover, she had injected the fake master with several doses of truth serum in the space before, and after repeated questioning, he was still in the same situation as Wei Xianglian.
He answered all questions about irrelevant matters, but when it came to key information, he was clueless. It was as if he had no memory of that time at all!
It was clearly the same as Wei Xianglian, whose memory had been erased by someone in some unknown way!
It can be seen that this fake master is just a pawn of the other party, and he is not the person they want to stir up trouble behind the scenes!
"Yes, Xier is right." Gu 꽮cheng nodded with a smile.
Bai Ci, who was standing aside, looked at Sheng Nanxi with his mouth wide open in shock:
"You...you little girl are really only three years old?"
"Three years old? His hair hasn't even grown out yet, how can he be so organized?!"
