Chapter 199: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 81
Just when Fatty Wang and Zhang Qiling were about to jump, Qi Yu, who had eliminated some of the Wang family members, suddenly appeared and rescued Wu Xie and Brother Hua.
"Follow me, run."
As Qi Yu spoke, he cast a protective shield for each of the four people beside him.
With her help, everyone escaped from the danger zone safely.
Looking at the ancient tomb buried in the snow, Wu Xie sighed.
"Go back."
After going down the mountain, they said goodbye to Brother Hua, and Qi Yu, Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and Fatty Wang returned to Hangzhou.
However, Wu Sanxing's whereabouts disappeared again, which made Wu Xie deeply confused.
He didn't understand why his third uncle didn't tell him all the facts. He was no longer his young self and was capable of taking on the responsibility of the Wu family.
One day two months later, Wu Xie once again received a note from a mysterious person.
After some discussion, Qi Yu, Zhang Qiling, Wu Xie, Fatty Wang and Jie Yuchen decided to let Wu Xie follow the other party's "footsteps" while the four of them would wait for an opportunity to cooperate.
So, Wu Xie pretended that he knew nothing, followed the instructions, and jumped onto a bus heading to his destination alone.
Outside the car window, the street scene flows like a kaleidoscope, colorful yet dazzling.
For Wu Xie who was sitting in the car, this rotating world seemed like an endless rotation, making him feel dizzy and nauseous.
He held on to the handrail tightly, trying to keep his balance, but the fear and anxiety in his heart were like amplified sound waves, constantly hitting his soul.
When the car stopped, night had fallen and the alley was pitch black. Only a dim street lamp in the distance was swaying in the breeze.
He got out of the car and looked around, only to see total silence, as if the whole world had fallen asleep.
However, in the silence, he noticed an antique shop that had not yet closed. The dim lights inside the shop formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness.
Wu Xie walked into an antique shop, which displayed a variety of antiques, each of which exuded a unique charm.
The clerk greeted him warmly when he came in. He took out a yellowed old newspaper and pointed to a piece of news about the snake-browed bronze fish.
When Wu Xie saw the news, he became emotional. He clutched the newspaper tightly, with a determined light in his eyes.
He kept questioning the shop owner's identity, trying to get more clues about the Snake-browed Bronze Fish and his third uncle from him.
However, the shop owner remained silent the entire time and just casually pointed to the sign next to him.
Wu Xie looked up and saw eight big words written on the sign: "Inquire about exchanges and make your own decisions."
He was startled and realized that this antique shop was not as simple as it seemed.
At this moment, several men in black suddenly broke into the antique shop. They forcibly dragged Wu Xie out of the shop and trapped him in an empty alley, preparing to inject an unknown drug into his body.
Wu Xie struggled to resist, but the power disparity was too great and he could only let them do whatever they wanted.
Just when he was about to despair, Qi Yu suddenly appeared. She cast a powerful illusion to confuse the men in black, making them mistakenly believe that they had completed the mission.
Afterwards, she disguised Wu Xie so that he looked like he had been injected with the drug.
Shortly after Qi Yu left, Fatty Wang and Jie Yuchen also arrived at the scene.
They searched everywhere for Wu Xie's trace and finally found the unconscious Wu Xie in a dim alley.
They took him back to the hospital for treatment and accidentally discovered the old newspaper with the font smudged by rain.
Fatty Wang and Jie Yuchen looked at the unconscious Wu Xie, their hearts filled with worry and helplessness.
They knew that Wu Xie had always had hope and trust in his Third Uncle, even though his Third Uncle had completely turned bad and did not help him.
They tried to persuade Wu Xie to let go of his obsession and forget the person who had hurt him.
However, Wu Xie firmly believes that his uncle has his own reasons, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to find the truth.
Finally, at Wu Xie's insistence, they decided to help him be discharged from the hospital and go home.
In the next few days, Wu Xie almost completely immersed his life in the ocean of information.
He worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, reading various ancient books, notes and maps, hoping to find some clues about the Jing'er Palace in Guangxi.
Even if he was occasionally so tired that he had to close his eyes and take a nap, countless horrifying images would emerge in his mind. Most of those images originated from his deep obsession with Wu Sansheng and endless worries.
After repeated thinking and weighing, Wu Xie finally made up his mind.
He planned to take the bottle of precious Qilin blood and look for a store that might have clues about Jing'er Palace, hoping to learn more about Jing'er Palace from the other party.
At this time, Wu Xie has entered a state where the fake becomes real. At this moment, he really wants to find Wu Sansheng and learn the truth from his uncle.
However, when Wu Xie stepped into the store, he was stunned by what he saw.
The owner of this store turned out to be his old friend Uncle Hai whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Uncle Hai is an out-and-out profiteer, and there is always a hint of cunning and calculation in his smile.
But at this critical moment, Wu Xie had to believe Uncle Hai's information.
Uncle Hai told Wu Xie that Jing'er Palace was called Yin Yang Shuttle in the Northern School.
This is because its architectural layout is very unique, with the upper and lower floors of the house almost completely symmetrical, like a shuttle deeply inserted into the earth.
The name of Yin-Yang Shuttle implies that this palace connects the Yin and Yang worlds, one side is the underworld and the other side is the world of the living.
After hearing this, Wu Xie's heart moved, and he realized that this might be the key to his finding his third uncle.
He knew that his third uncle had been looking for the whereabouts of the Snake-browed Bronze Fish, and that the Snake-browed Bronze Fish was inextricably linked to Jing'er Palace.
If he could find the snake-browed bronze fish in Jing'er Palace, perhaps he could get clues about his third uncle.
In a laboratory somewhere, after countless attempts and failures, the experimental team finally extracted a special substance from the body fluids of the corpses in the ancient tomb.
This substance can not only resist corpse poison mutation, but more amazingly, it also has the potential to delay aging.
Jude Kao was extremely surprised by this major discovery, and his ambition also made him make an impulsive decision.
He bypassed his superiors, concealed the research progress, and kept the experimental results to himself.
However, things did not go as smoothly as Jude Kao had imagined.
In the later stages of the experiment, they used some white mice as experimental subjects, trying to observe the reaction of this special substance in the body.
Just when they were about to announce success, something unexpected happened.
Those white mice that had been injected with special substances suddenly turned into pus, as if they were instantly swallowed up by some powerful force.
This phenomenon was completely inconsistent with the drug reaction they observed in Wu Xie's body, leaving the entire experimental team confused and panicked.
When Jude Kao saw this scene, anger and disappointment surged in his heart.
He couldn't believe that the research would produce such results, and driven by emotion, he angrily smashed the laboratory equipment.
Because he was afraid of death, he knew clearly that his life was coming to an end.
So the study had to succeed for him to stay alive.
