I'm just a newbie and haven't officially joined Qilin yet.
Why do you want to perform S-level missions?
You know, the Thousand-Handed Rakshasa I fought to the death to kill was only a C-level one. Didn’t I think I was too long-lived?
Thinking of this, I stood there as if on strike: "Honestly, have you taken on many apprentices before, and then you gave them away like this..."
Lao Jiang was not angry, he just looked at the Swiss watch on his wrist.
"Time is too tight, I will explain to you on the way!"
I was abducted by Lao Jiang and got on the train. Maybe I subconsciously felt that this old man who was smiling all the time would not harm me.
The destination of this trip is Xiushui Village, a rural village hidden in the mountains of western Fujian.
But ever since that extremely weird thing happened, the village has never been peaceful again...
After saying that, Lao Jiang took out a stack of documents from his wallet and asked me to read them and share my thoughts?
It turned out that he knew all about me peeking at the files in the dark building, and he was just trying to test my learning ability.
Because Qilin never leaves waste!
The steam train whistled, and I quickly began to take a closer look at the whole thing...
It all started a month ago. On this day, the villagers of Xiushui Village were farming. Suddenly, the sky turned dark and it started to rain heavily.
Western Fujian has a rainy season, but the rain did not stop. It rained continuously for seven days and seven nights, eventually triggering a mudslide in the back mountain.
But the strange thing is that the mudslides flowing down the back mountain are not the normal khaki color, but blood red.
From a distance, it looks like lines of blood and tears!
Seeing that the crop fields were washed into pools of blood, the villagers screamed every day for help, so they had no choice but to hide in their houses to save their lives.
However, before they could escape, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through the rain. The rocks behind the mountain collapsed with a crackle, and then a dark rectangular thing rolled down along the red mudslide.
On the spot, a few brave villagers carried hoes and tiptoed over, only to find out that it was a dark coffin!
The villagers shouted bad luck, but the coffin was like Pandora's box, carrying an infinite magic power that attracted everyone to open it.
Finally, with the village chief's nod, everyone worked together to pry open the coffin.
Something unexpected happened to everyone. There was no body of the deceased in the coffin, only heavy copper coins and some jewelry.
Xiushui Village is a notoriously poor village in western Fujian. Every household cannot eat meat once a year, so they decided to take a desperate risk and sell these copper coins and jewelry.
From the mouth of the cultural relic dealer, they knew that this copper coin was called: Kaiyuan Tongbao.
One string can be exchanged for ten brand new silver coins!
The village chief believed that the heavy rain was timely rain, and that the coffin was a gift from God to Xiushui Village to make them rich.
So even though the bloody water was still flowing down, the villagers did not run away. Instead, every household moved small stools and sat by the water, waiting for the new coffin to fall.
Sure enough, a new coffin fell within two days. This time the contents in the coffin were more valuable. In addition to copper coins, there were also gold ingots.
And then the third bite…
This was the information that Qilin's spy found out afterward.
This informant didn’t know what was in the third coffin. He only knew that after the third coffin was born, Xiushui Village completely lost contact with the outside world!
Seeing that the business was dead, the cultural relic dealer anxiously went into the mountains to look for it, but saw an extremely strange scene. More than fifty households in Xiushui Village were empty!
They definitely did not move secretly, because the stoves in some houses were still hot, their private money was still locked in the cabinets, and even their clothes were hung out to dry.
Keren, including the piglets, chickens and ducks, were all gone.
The cultural relic dealer was exposed to many taboos. He knew that he was afraid of some serious disaster, so he didn't dare to stay, so he fled down the mountain on horseback.
When I escaped to the woods, I actually found a crazy guy.
The guy had drool at the corner of his mouth and stupid eyes. He looked exactly like Kong Ergou, the son of the village chief of Xiushui Village, who had traded Kaiyuan Tongbao with him.
The cultural relic dealer is eager to ask what happened in Xiushui Village? Where has everyone else gone?
Kong Ergou, however, was already scared to death, but after a while he screamed: "There are ghosts, white-faced ghosts, they are coming to catch me!"
This matter spread quickly. Qilin's informant determined that there was a rare evil tomb near Xiushui Village, and it could easily level a village. It was obviously not something easy to deal with, so he urgently reported it.
Seeing my frown, Lao Jiang smiled and asked me what I saw?
I couldn't help but shake my head. There were too few clues in this intelligence...
You must know that the archeology industry pays attention to seeing, hearing and asking!
I can’t see the feng shui dragon veins of that mountain, and I don’t have any photos of the coffin. I don’t even know the specific characteristics of the so-called white-faced ghost. How can I analyze it?
The blame was on the Qilin spy, who was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to approach Xiushui Village.
But when I noticed a hint of disappointment in Lao Jiang’s eyebrows, I suddenly felt unyielding and added loudly: “Although I can’t give you the answer, I can make a guess!”
"The Kaiyuan Tongbao in the coffin shows that this tomb must be from before and after the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, western Fujian was a barren land. I guess the owner of the tomb is an exiled minister!!!"
"At that time, heavy rain poured into the ancient tomb, and it was split by lightning, which happened to break the seal in the tomb, and a lot of blood flowed out. According to the "Yunei Nan Jing", the blood corpse in the blood tomb is good at confusing the world to nourish the essence and blood. It can destroy body skin, so I suspect that this tomb may have spiritual wisdom. The first two coffins are deliberately released as bait to take advantage of the greed of these villagers. The third coffin is the truly terrifying existence, that is, Kong Ergou See the white faces!”
Having said this, I paused: "But what the hell is that white-faced guy? I really don't know. I've almost torn through the books in the archives. If I see a similar case, I will definitely be impressed!!!"
"I even think that even Qilin doesn't know what it is. Only the unknown is the most terrifying thing. That's why they upgraded this seemingly simple disappearance to S-level and didn't hesitate to send you, the Black Blade Qilin! !”
What greeted me was Lao Jiang's loud applause. He said that he almost made a mistake and that I was much smarter than he expected.
For those who go to the grave, it is important to have all-round skills.
But sometimes what can save a life is intelligence!
"But one thing you guessed wrong is that not only did the above send me, but also a Black Saber Qilin will meet in Xiushui Village. Don't be too afraid of death. Just listen to us along the way and watch what we do." Old Jiang smiled strangely.
My cheeks twitched immediately, two black sword unicorns, it seemed that the matter was more serious than imagined...
