Chapter 010: Innocent Touch
Although Wuxie felt very sorry for not becoming Zhang Moyu's disciple, he immediately became energetic when he heard Zhang Moyu say that things here had not been dealt with yet.
Wuxie said that since he had discovered such an exciting thing, he would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't go over to take a look.
Zhang Moyu originally didn't want to agree. Ordinary people who couldn't protect themselves should stay away from these things.
But he couldn't stand Wuxie's constant nagging, and coupled with the ominous aura that Wuxie had, which seemed to be due to his fate or other reasons, Zhang Moyu felt that even if he didn't bring him in this time, he would see this unfortunate child in other haunted places sooner or later.
In the eyes of those demons and monsters, Wuxie, who was surrounded by Yin energy and mixed with strong Yang energy and the breath of human beings, was an extra-large signal light, a super cheating device that could increase their cultivation buff in the modern era of the Dharma Ending Age.
Their instincts would drive them to approach one after another, greedily trying to possess and devour...
The more Zhang Moyu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The look in his eyes when he looked at Wuxie became strange. Wuxie's scalp went numb from being stared at, and he didn't know what was going on.
Although he felt that the person in front of him might be a nuisance in the future, Zhang Moyu did not intend to eliminate future troubles by killing innocent people.
Using his pocket as a cover, he secretly took out a piece of talisman paper folded into a triangle from the black jade Qilin bracelet, and took off the small jade card hanging around his neck, and handed them together to Wuxie.
"What is this? Is it for me? Hiss... This jade token is too valuable. I can't take it!"
Wuxie took it subconsciously, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the jade token.
After just one look, he immediately wanted to return it.
This small jade pendant, which is only three fingers long, looks insignificant, but based on his experience in antique appraisal, this thing is definitely very valuable.
This finest imperial green jade plaque, exquisitely carved and inlaid with filigree stone, feels smooth and warm to the touch. A lifelike Qilin is depicted on the front, while the back features distinctive patterns that appear to crisscross in a regular pattern, interspersed with ancient characters, forming a vaguely regular pattern.
This is clearly the pinnacle of craftsmanship from a historical era, and the techniques used to make it have long been lost. So it's not just an antique, it's one of those things with extraordinary archaeological value!
Wuxie felt that his hand holding the jade token was a little hot, and his right eyelid was twitching.
His intuition and experience told him that this thing was probably worth half his uncle's houseful of treasures. If he accidentally dropped it, he might not be able to afford the compensation even if he sold himself.
"Here I give it to you, just keep it."
Zhang Moyu did not take it back. This jade token was carved for him by his brother when he was young, and the breath-suppressing formation on it is still useful now.
At that time, he thought that he was the only one who had it, and was secretly happy that his cold and unkind brother still liked him very much. Later, he learned that his brother, as a craftsman in the tribe, had prepared one for all the underage Qilins.
Families like theirs with special bloodlines are most likely to be coveted by others. The Zhang family will give every young member of the family such a jade token to prevent accidents. They are only allowed to take it off after they reach the age of 100 and have the ability to protect themselves.
Although he felt reluctant to give away something he had worn for many years, Wuxie obviously needed the jade token more now.
"You must be born with bad luck, and you are always surrounded by yin energy. Although it doesn't have much impact on you except making you more unlucky, many ghosts and evil spirits will target you because of this. Your chances of seeing ghosts in the future are much greater than that of ordinary people.
Changing your fate, a heaven-defying act, is no longer possible in this Dharma-Ending Age. This jade token is engraved with a breath-suppressing formation that will hide you from their sight."
In fact, it is not only a breath-suppressing formation. Zhang Moyu has been carrying this jade token with him since he was a child. It has long been contaminated with the strong aura of the Qilin, and ordinary ghosts and monsters will stay away from it.
Wuxie widened his eyes after hearing this, unable to believe it and tears streaming down his face, with only one thought in his mind.
It turns out that his feeling that he was unlucky was not an illusion!!!
"Okay...thank you, big boss."
Wuxie's mind was still wandering, thinking about what bad luck he had encountered that might have been caused by Yin Qi. He carefully put the jade token away and hung it around his neck like Zhang Moyu had done before.
"So what is this for?"
Wuxie pinched the talisman folded into a triangle on his hand and spoke with curiosity.
"Take this with you. If you encounter any blind ghosts or monsters, it can temporarily ward them off. I can also sense the situation on your side."
In fact, it is of no use. At most, it can help Wuxie hold on for a while longer, but by then, who knows how far away they are. It is very likely that they will not be able to hold on until Zhang Moyu arrives and will be swallowed by ghosts.
"Thank you, Boss! You're so nice to me!"
Wuxie was so moved by him that her eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to hug him and give him a kiss, but looking at Zhang Moyu's face that looked like it said "Keep Away", she didn't dare to.
"Deal with that thing down there, then go back. Don't go to a place with such heavy yin energy next time."
Zhang Moyu reminded Wuxie a little worriedly, and Wuxie nodded obediently. As for whether he took it to heart, no one knew.
The two went down to the first floor, and Zhang Moyu found that the room with the heaviest foul air had a large iron door that was out of tune with the other rooms. The door was locked, and it looked like someone had done it on purpose.
Zhang Moyu reached out and knocked on the iron door to test its thickness and hardness.
Wuxie saw his movements and thought that he wanted to open the door but had no way. He glanced around and found an iron rod in the corner. He weighed it in his hand and then rushed over to help pry the door open.
Zhang Moyu didn't pay much attention to him. He thought that the door probably couldn't withstand his full-strength kick, so he gathered his strength on the spot and kicked the door with a side kick.
Dust fell from the edge of the door frame. Although there was a concave footprint in the middle of the iron door, it still stood there firmly.
Zhang Moyu didn't hesitate, retracted his foot and kicked up with the other foot.
This time there was no surprise. With a "bang", the iron door broke away from the door frame and fell straight to the ground.
Wuxie was holding an iron rod at the back, and before he could figure out how to pry the door open, he was stunned by the scene of the door being opened violently.
Zhang Moyu looked back at him, Wuxie immediately restrained the expression on his face, threw away the iron rod in his hand, clapped his hands, pretended to be calm and walked over, stood beside him and gave him a thumbs up.
This room looked like someone had cleaned it earlier, the whole room was clean and tidy.
However, there was a big hole on the floor in the middle of the room. Wuxie leaned over to take a look and saw that there was another open underground space more than ten meters deep.
Because the cave entrance was not big and the flashlight had limited light, all I could see was an open coffin directly below with a male corpse lying inside.
