Jiangshan Fengwuzhi

Chapter 222 Retrieving the Corpse
Deep in the Lianxi Mountain, a broken flying car was parked on the hill, and the people sitting on it looked a little depressed.

"coming."

Ji Xiangming, who was looking into the distance, suddenly said something, and flew down from the high hill first to meet a team flying towards the front. The team was not large, with only dozens of alien guards driving flying cars to protect Yin Jinggeng who was sitting on them.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Ji Xiangming bowed down and said with shame, "We have failed to fulfill Your Highness' trust and have lost Chengye Marquis. Please, Your Highness, deal with us."

Yin Jinggeng said expressionlessly, "Look who this is?"

After saying that, two figures with flames fell from the sky. They were Gu Jingnian and Ying Yao.

Ji Xiangming was surprised and delighted when he saw this, and asked, "Marquis Chengye, what is this?"

"The cause of the drought has been found." Gu Jingnian said, "Your Highness is going to come here to check it out in person, and the army will arrive soon."

"Great!"

Ji Xiangming couldn't help but shout out, but then he remembered that he had done nothing and lowered his head again.

As they were talking, Bai Ji, You Yan, Hao Pangshui and others also rushed to the front of the carriage and said one after another: "We are ashamed."

Under normal circumstances, Yin Jinggeng would probably get off the car and help them up one by one.

Today, he still spoke in a calm tone, "Don't blame yourself. I came here without bringing anyone else, because looking at the fourteen states in the southwest, the only ones I can trust are you guys."

Hearing this, everyone felt ashamed and moved.

"Everyone, get up." Yin Jinggeng said, "I have something important to entrust to you."

Even though Gu Jingnian said that there were Qu Jizhi's spies among these people, Yin Jinggeng did not hide his plan from them.

He bluntly stated that he wanted to go to the abyss ahead to see for himself, as there might be masters from various countries lurking there who needed to be eliminated, and he might also encounter obstruction from Qu Jizhi.

"I ask you, if Qu Jizhi refuses to repent, and I order him to be killed without mercy, can you do it?"

"I will obey your Highness' orders!"

Several young people answered without hesitation.

Yin Jinggeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I was not wrong about you... Bai Ji, come here, I have something to tell you."

"Yes."

Yin Jinggeng got off the flying car, walked with his hands behind his back, and walked to the side with Bai Ji.

When Bai Ji followed behind Yin Jinggeng, he felt something strange. He glanced at Yin Jinggeng's shoulder, then looked at his own shoulder, feeling a little confused.

At this moment, Yin Jinggeng spoke.

"You... accept my condolences."

"what?"

Bai Ji was stunned for a moment, and had a bad premonition, and his previous doubts were completely forgotten.

Yin Jinggeng sighed and said, "I haven't had time to tell you that General Bai was killed..."

Lianxi Mountain is barren and dry, with no vegetation growing.

But on this day, when Bai Ji clenched his fists in hatred, drops of water fell from his palms and dripped into the dry and cracked ground.

This represented his great anger, but when the water droplets quickly evaporated, his anger seemed so small and powerless.

Soon, the two teams merged into one and continued westward.

You Yan glanced at Gu Jingnian who was flying high in the sky. He now knew that there was no comparison between his strength and Gu Jingnian's. There was less jealousy and more awe in his eyes.

"Bai Ji, don't worry, we will help you get revenge."

"The man who could kill my father must be very strong." Bai Ji stared at the front and said slowly, "This trip is very dangerous. Don't be impulsive. Remember, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood."

You Yan was full of admiration and said, "You are so calm."

Bai didn't answer, but the vein on his forehead was throbbing.

Because Yan had already left, they did not encounter any obstacles when heading west this time. They did not see any bones or giants. After two or three days, they could see fog ahead.

"That's it."

Gu Jingnian landed at the edge of the abyss first, followed by Yin Jinggeng's car.

Many of the people who were traveling with them who were good at controlling water walked to the edge of the abyss and used their expertise to condense the fog in the sky into a small stream.

“Finally there’s water!”

Afterwards, two geographers who were good at water management came up to Gu Jingnian and said, "Marquis Chengye, can you show us the waterfall formed by the Xi River? We can then plan a way to restore the river for Your Highness."

"it is good."

"So hot."

Gu Jingnian was about to embrace the two geodesists when they cried out in surprise. So Youyou came over on the owl and said, "I'll take you with me." "Thank you, Princess."

The two surveyors thanked them and climbed into the basket hanging on the owl's chest.

Gu Jingnian had no idea what kind of princess Youyou was before, so he turned around to take a look and asked, "So you are a princess?"

“No, no.” Youyou quickly shook her head, “I am from the Asakusa tribe… My father is the tribe leader of the Asakusa tribe, and we raise owls for a living.”

Gu Jingnian then thought of Liu Yuchuan's huge owl, gestured to describe it, and asked Youyou if she had ever seen such a big owl.

"Ah, that's Abai, one of my grandfather's mounts. It's eighty-three years old and was stolen last year."

"Anyone can steal an owl beast?"

"No, the owl beast is spiritual. Besides recognizing its master, it only recognizes the blood of its parents. Abai is very smart and has been my grandfather's mount since he was a child... I really don't understand who could steal it."

Gu Jingnian asked a few more questions, but after all, he didn't know much about the owl beast. He thought that Liu Yuchuan was probably too powerful to control the huge owl beast.

He, Yingyao and Youyou flew into the abyss and passed by the magnificent waterfall.

This time, Gu Jingnian noticed that the water of Xihe River flowed out from the cracks in the earth.

When the mist was about to extinguish his flaming wings, Ying Yao flew to his side and flew side by side with him, not afraid of the mist at all.

It can be seen that she is much stronger than him.

Two surveyors stood in the basket, holding charcoal pencils, writing and drawing on the wooden sign, sighing constantly.

"The magic skill is beyond human power."

"If we want to solve the drought, it may take more than just restoring the Xihe River."

"Yes, the water of Xihe River is endless, but it cannot fill this abyss. I am afraid we need to solve the underground fire below."

"..."

In the mist below them, Ren Shuangfei was looking up and muttering, "Gu Jingnian is here."

"No hurry, I'll deal with him later."

As Long Minzhi spoke, she turned her head and looked at the huge corpse that Shen Jichi had salvaged.

The body was the size of a room, human-shaped, but with antlers attached to the skull.

"Interrogating people?"

"I have never seen such a big Jiren. It must be a dragon like the Jiren. That's why it is called Longxushui."

Qu Jizhi stepped forward and touched Longxushui's heart.

The body was quite hard, and the skin was in a strange solidified state, but it still retained its elasticity. Qu Jizhi put his hand inside and after a while, he said, "The heart is gone."

"There's no blood left in his body." Shen Jichi said, "He has been refined completely."

"Damn it." Ren Shuangfei cursed.

Qu Jizhi continued to grope around Longxushui's corpse for a long time before he said, "The wooden sign is gone too."

Ren Shuangfei said: "Of course it was taken by that bastard."

"But the memory is still there." Shen Jichi said.

After saying this, Shen Jichi's figure disappeared into the mist.

Qu Jizhi looked towards the place where he disappeared and said, "It's your turn to take action."

"it is good."

As someone responded, several people turned around and saw that Shen Jichi had returned, and there was another figure beside him.

The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing the purple official robe of Yong State and had a gaunt face. It was Zhao Boheng.

"Please help Miss Hu."

"it is good."

Hu Jingnan then lowered his head, tuned the strings and played the piano.

Amid the melodious sound of the piano, Zhao Boheng and Shen Jichi walked side by side and came to the body of Longxushui.

As he walked, Zhao Boheng rubbed his eyes, his eyes showing excitement.

Finally, he reached out and opened Longxushui's closed eyelids.

For the first time in his life, Zhao Boheng can finally see the memories about the world. He will know how these otherworldly masters practiced and how they joined the world...all the secrets will be revealed in his eyes.
