Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1647 7 Heart Tablets 28

Yan Hongsha couldn't face the fact that her grandfather was very likely to have stolen the treasure from Amomum vomica. She couldn't muster any emotions after setting off on the road the next day. Especially when she was in Lixi, Cao Yanhua saw a scene of a corpse and stones in a well. She really couldn't help but think about it.

As for Mu Dai's behavior of making marks along the way, Old Man Yan saw it but said nothing. When they found the treasure well, he just asked Mu Dai to go up to the big tree next to it to keep watch according to traditional rules.

Mu Dai didn't think anything of it and climbed up the tree obediently.

When Old Man Yan saw Mu Dai's beautiful skills, he didn't dare to do anything to him.

When Yan Hongsha saw the strange and twisted smile on her grandfather's face when he just found the location of the treasure well, the secret guess in her heart that she dared not touch suddenly came true. After being urged by old man Yan, she was reluctantly willing to dig the soil for a while.

The pit was only about two feet deep, and Yan Hongsha refused to continue digging no matter what. Mu Dai looked through the telescope for a while and felt bored. Yan Hongsha looked tired of digging, so she jumped down easily, threw away her backpack, took the shovel from Yan Hongsha's hand and was about to help.

Yan Hongsha sneered, snatched the shovel from Mu Dai's hand and threw it aside, "There are corpses underneath..."

Mu Dai couldn't help but take a half step back. Old Man Yan scolded Yan Hongsha harshly. In order to appease Mu Dai, he could only explain with a flattering face: "Mu Dai, although you are an outsider, but you have been protecting me and Hongsha all the way. Hongsha also said that you are her good friend, so it's okay to tell you some things——"

"Back then, we organized a treasure hunting team to come here to collect treasures. I was the only one in the team who could see the treasure aura, so I led everyone here from afar."

Mu Dai still didn't quite understand, but Yan Hongsha had already guessed that the corpse underneath was probably a member of the treasure-hunting team from that year. His eyes were red and he couldn't even make a sarcastic expression.

Old Man Yan continued, "I took a look and saw that there was already a corpse in this treasure well, but the treasure light seemed to be unobstructed at all, which shows how rich this treasure well is!"

Mu Dai had already understood a little. Old Man Yan realized it later and put away his previously uncontrollable excitement. Instead, he put on an expression of slight regret. "At that time, I admit that I was too greedy and wanted to keep this treasure well for myself. So after investigating, I told everyone that this was an abandoned well."

"As for the others, they all know that nine out of ten wells are useless, so they didn't have any doubts."

"But I can't hide this precious light anymore. The corpse has lost its vitality. I'm worried that this precious light will be seen by other knowledgeable people, so I have to find a way to cover it up..."

Yan Hongsha couldn't hold back her anger after hearing this. She held back her tears and shouted, "Bad habits! These are all your bad habits! Only fools would believe them and take them as a guiding principle!"

Old Man Yan almost couldn't hold it back, but with Mu Dai here, he could only try his best to defend himself: "I'm fine. A new member of the team is seriously ill from acclimatization. It's okay for me to take advantage of him, right? He's going to be buried nearby anyway, so wouldn't it be better to bury him in the treasure well?"

"Besides, who am I doing this for?"

"It's all for you youngsters!"

"You youngsters are all so useless that you've forced me, at my age, to climb mountains and cross rivers!"

Yan Hongsha looked sarcastic, but couldn't help being moved by the old man's words.

Mu Dai just felt that she shouldn't be here, especially since she happened to be standing between Old Man Yan and Yan Hongsha. She was so busy that she didn't know what to do. Finally, she touched the locator symbol in her pocket and diverted her attention.

Old Man Yan was addicted to acting. He saw Yan Hongsha's tears streaming down her face from the corner of his eye. He tried his best to look regretful and slowly knelt down, "Maybe..."

"Maybe it's really because I'm getting old, and I'm gradually regretting my actions back then. This time, besides wanting to leave some valuables for Hongsha, I also want to rebury that teammate and let him rest in peace..."

"What's more, after we collect the treasure, we can also give some to his family. In today's society, you can lack anything but money."

Mu Dai was moved by Old Man Yan's performance. She turned to Yan Hongsha and said, "Your grandfather is right. But I am also afraid of corpses, so whether you want to collect treasures or not is up to you to decide."

"My master said that wherever a person meets someone, and whatever happens to them, it's all a matter of fate. Since we've met them, reburying them is also accumulating merit."

On the other side, Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ren, who had followed, discovered a mark that didn't belong to Mu Dai. Without giving it much thought, Jiang Xinxin pointed in the direction of the mark that didn't belong to Mu Dai and said to Luo Ren, "You go support Mu Dai. I'll go this way and find those two savages."

Luo Ren disagreed and pulled Jiang Xinxin closer, "I'll go with you. Don't worry about Mu Dai. She's very simple and has a good relationship with Yan Hongsha. Even if Old Man Yan wants to do something, Yan Hongsha won't sit idly by."

Seeing Luo Ren's insistence, Jiang Xinxin didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she had to agree.

The two savages lived in a cave. The cave was relatively clean, but there was only a woman in it with white hair all over her body, skin as pale as paper, and a neck as white as amber.

The other person became agitated when she saw a stranger. Jiang Xinxin raised her hand to restrain her and said softly, "I understand your injustice and I won't harm your child. I just want to take away that thing from your neck."

"I know you've been dead for a long time, and it's this thing on your neck that's kept you alive until now. But it's still an evil thing, and even if it breaks into three, it can still hurt people."

The woman refused to give up Xin Jian, and Jiang Xinxin couldn't cast a spell to keep her in the human world. She could only continue to discuss it in a gentle tone: "Although the fate of mankind belongs to itself, the underworld does exist. In a situation like yours, if you linger in the human world for too long, not only will your soul be scattered, but it will also affect your blood relatives."

"I also know you're worried about your child. I promise that after I get the Heart Slip, I will help him return to normal. After all, he was still angry back then, and you happened to have the Heart Slip's help, so you were able to keep the child."

This time the woman understood and was willing to give the heart tablet to Jiang Xinxin, so she let out a shrill roar. Luo Ren couldn't help but cover his ears, and not long after, a man with long black hair and a monkey-like appearance came back quickly.

Jiang Xinxin pulled Luo Ren away and told the woman, "You have to explain the situation to your child. I promise to make sure he's treated like a normal person."

There were quite a few relatively detailed drawings in the cave, as well as some graffiti-like images nearby. Luo Ren speculated, "Perhaps besides the woman and her child over there, there are other wildlings?"

Jiang Xinxin looked back at the mother and daughter over there and said to Luo Ren, "No, that woman was truly pitiful. She was forced to have that child by the savages and then had her throat slit to death. The child was able to be born safely after her death because of Xin Jian's power, but she has since become different from a normal child."

"These relatively detailed drawings here are of the child born to that woman and her husband. I can't see where the child is now. Perhaps I can use the hair of my blood relatives to calculate it later."
