Chapter 152: Holographic Projection
Deep in the cave, a figure respectfully bowed to an old man sitting cross-legged on a stone platform, saying, "Master Wizard, I have already led everyone here."
This figure is an old acquaintance of Chen Xinli's family.
When their family passed through Lishan Ridge, they were attacked by the bandit Han Dadangjia from Lishan Village.
If Ah Hua had not appeared that day, their family would have probably met with an accident.
The man on the stone platform opened his ferocious eagle eyes, squinted his eyes at Boss Han, and said in a strong voice: "Okay, if you can make up for what you failed to do back then, I will also reward you with a spiritual medicine."
"Thank you, wizard. Thank you, wizard." Boss Han was so excited that he swallowed several times, as if he had received a great reward.
Chen Xinli is here.
After seeing Ah Hua enter the cave, she followed while observing the surrounding terrain.
The original passage was a bit like a modern air-raid shelter, except that it was not straight, but roughly arc-shaped.
Following Ah Hua to the end of the arc-shaped air-raid shelter, the road moved inward again.
After walking for a distance, it will change direction again.
After repeating this process, Chen Xinli slowly discovered that this arc-shaped channel contained circles that were shrinking inwards.
When you reach the deepest part, there is a cave entrance that is so narrow that only one adult can pass through. You can feel the light and the flow of air inside.
Seeing Ah Hua enter the narrow cave, Chen Xinli followed in without any hesitation.
The space inside the cave was very spacious and circular, with the circular stone platform in the middle as the center. The radius from the cave entrance where she was to the center of the stone platform was about three or four feet.
Looking at the white-haired old man sitting on the stone platform with his back to her, Chen Xinli inexplicably felt a sense of fear, and then she felt as if her brain was pricked by a needle.
She bit her tongue and managed to calm herself down.
Looking at the patterns on the stone platform again, Chen Xinli also felt that they looked somewhat familiar, but she just couldn't figure out what they were for a moment.
Ah Hua on the side was also trying to get closer to the stone platform, but she was a little afraid of the person in the middle.
Watching the man and the snake enter, the white-haired old man on the stone platform raised his lips. After a moment, he was heard to speak: "Goddess Jinhua, you are finally here."
Chen Xinli was shocked. Who was this person and why did he know about Lady Jinhua?
Chen Xinli asked tentatively: "Who are you?"
The old man gave a creepy laugh and said to Chen Xinli with his back to her: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I finally found you, my lady."
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Xinli's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could this man be the traitor that the ghost protector mentioned? He was still alive in this world.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinli said calmly: "I see, you are the traitor?"
"I'm not a traitor!" Chen Xinli had just finished speaking when the old man suddenly turned around with a ferocious look on his face and roared at her. Then he added, "She forced me to do this. She forced me to do this."
Chen Xinli frowned slightly in surprise. Why did this man look nothing like the Ghost Protector and the Li Protector? Both of them could transform and looked very old.
The man in front of him was obviously much younger. Although he had a head full of white hair, he looked to be around forty years old.
Of course, this person is very similar to the Ghost Protector and the Evil Protector in one respect, which is that he also likes to push the mistakes onto others.
When the Ghost Protector and the Evil Protector appeared that day, and Chen Xinli happened to catch the Ghost Protector, the old man was very stubborn at first.
Only after being severely tortured by Xue Xuan did he reveal some of the truth.
It turned out that he and Protector Li did trust Goddess Jinhua at the beginning, but after secretly drinking the Goddess' blood, their bodies mutated.
In order to survive for a long time, they can only set one goal for themselves, which is to avenge Goddess Jinhua.
Therefore, they have been tracking the whereabouts of the Golden Swallowing Python and discovered that Chen Xinli is actually the contract owner of the Golden Swallowing Python.
They thought this young master could be used by them.
But she had always been on good terms with the Li Kingdom's Prince Jiang Yu, so the Ghost Protector instigated the Li Protector to make a change.
After all, the Golden-Swallowing Python was the product of the Golden Flower Goddess' inner elixir.
If they could kill Chen Xinli, they would be able to take away the Golden Python, and when it grew up, they would be able to dominate this land.
So, they attacked Chen Xinli.
But they didn't expect that Chen Xinli was armed.
"Okay, you said she forced you to do that. Then let me ask you, did she do anything outrageous? Not only did you steal her blood and sell it outside, but you also led outsiders into the Python Village to kill snakes and extract their gallbladders. Do you think you were being righteous?"
The old man snorted coldly and said, "We offer incense to her, and naturally we also hope to get protection from her.
But what about her? She knew her blood was priceless, yet she refused to tell me directly. If I hadn't sneaked out and discovered this huge secret, how could I be alive today?
Looking at the old man in front of me, he has white hair and looks like a middle-aged man.
Chen Xinli sneered, "The Ghost Guardian has already told me that the bloodline of the ancient spirit snake is not something that ordinary people can endure. They both even experienced physical mutations. You've lived for hundreds of years, don't you really understand the Queen's painstaking efforts?"
"Of course I understand. She just doesn't want us to know her secret so that she can live hundreds of years longer, but I just can't let her do that." The old man was extremely stubborn.
Just as Chen Xinli was about to continue asking, a man suddenly came out of the cave on the other side and said to the old man, "Master Wizard, the ceremony is ready."
