The so-called "fragrant jade," also known as "golden fragrant jade," is a rare stone. The fragrance, scientifically speaking, is produced by aromatic substances that have been immersed in the rock for a long time.

The vast majority of "fragrant jade" products are called jade, but they are actually just stones. Apart from having a fragrance, they look ordinary.

But the finest among fragrant jade is completely different.

This top-grade fragrant jade not only has the structural characteristics of jade, but also emits a fragrance, making it a rare and precious item.

Currently, it is only found in the deep forests of Micang Mountain in Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province, and has not been found anywhere else in the world.

The fat man looked at the hole, then shone his flashlight inside. Finding it wasn't very deep, he immediately said, "Shall we go down and take a look?"

Bai Jing nodded, and the group went down into the cave.

Soon, the group found a skeleton inside the cave. The skeleton's head appeared to have been pierced by something sharp, and its entire Heavenly Spirit Root was shattered.

Hu Bayi then leaned close to the skeleton and sniffed it carefully, feeling as if he had smelled the same scent somewhere before.

Although Bai Jing had already said that it was the scent of Wen Xiangyu, Hu Bayi still felt a sense of familiarity when he smelled it again.

Suddenly, Hu Bayi and Bai Jing exchanged a glance, and then Hu Bayi's eyes widened sharply as he said, "Blind Chen."

That's right, Hu Bayi remembered now; he had smelled this scent at Blind Chen's fortune-telling stall before.

Then Hu Bayi seemed to have thought of something and took out a talisman from his pocket.

Bai Jing looked at it and saw that it was a talisman.

The upper trigram is Zhen (震), and the lower trigram is Kan (坎). Zhen represents movement, and Kan represents danger. When danger is encountered, movement occurs.

Hu Bayi suddenly laughed when he saw this.

"This old man is worrying for nothing; he's teaching us how to run away."

Upon hearing this, the fat man asked in confusion, "Then which way should we run?"

Hu Bayi said, "The meaning of the character 'gua' is southwest."

Seeing this, Bai Jing pointed to the two lines of text above and said, "There are words here too: 'May I cross the sea of ​​suffering and go to worship the immortals.' This old man is quite interesting."

This saying means that people are encouraged to overcome difficulties or dangers safely and, upon success, to express their gratitude and respect to the deities who have helped or protected them.

The meaning is quite clear: they are to be brought to the Fishbone Temple.

All I can say is that Blind Chen doesn't scam ordinary people, he only scams those who understand feng shui.

At this moment, the fat man

Regardless of what Bai Jing and the others were doing, they immediately began searching the corpse.

Soon, the fat man noticed that the corpse seemed to be wearing a necklace around its neck, so he picked it up and took a look.

It looked like a pendant. The fat man picked it up with some confusion and asked, "No, look, what is this?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi took the pendant, blew off the dust, and finally saw the words on it. However, after Hu Bayi saw the words on the pendant, he looked at the corpse in surprise and said: "Tomb raiding!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jing took the pendant, examined it carefully, and said, "This is a legitimate tomb raiding talisman!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately picked up the Tomb Raider Talisman and began to examine it.

Then he suddenly ripped the rope of the tomb raiding talisman, exclaiming in surprise, "This is a tomb raiding talisman? Holy crap!!!"

Big Gold Tooth also came over at this moment.

Then the fat man looked at the corpse with some surprise and asked, "If this is a tomb raiding talisman, then who is this person?"

Bai Jing looked at the corpse, pondered for a moment, and said, "Legend has it that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a thief named Zhang Sanlianzi who wore three Tomb Raider Talismans and rewrote the Tomb Raider Manual, which led to the resurgence of the Tomb Raider lineage."

In his middle age, Master Zhang took in four apprentices and passed on his skills and knowledge.

After Master Zhang retired from tomb raiding, his four disciples officially inherited the art of tomb raiding.

Among them, the three Tomb Raider Talismans were passed on to the eldest disciple, Elder Flying Lion Liao Chen, the second disciple, Golden Abacus, and the fourth disciple, Iron Grinding Head. These three are also the only known perfect Tomb Raider trio.

Then, he passed on the rewritten Dragon-Seeking Manual, which was half of the "Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique," to his third disciple, Sun Guofu, who possessed the Yin-Yang Eyes. Sun Guofu, however, was unwilling to engage in tomb raiding and instead wandered the martial arts world as a feng shui master.

At this point, Hu Bayi looked at Bai Jing in surprise and said, "Old Bai, the Yin-Yang Eye Sun Guofu you mentioned who inherited half of Master Zhang's 'Sixteen-Character Yin-Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique' is my grandfather's master. But how did you know about these things, Old Bai?"

Bai Jing glanced at Hu Bayi and said, "My father's sworn brother is named Zhao Baoyi. He is a disciple of Sai Li Mao Yang Fang, and Yang Fang's master is Jin Suanpan."

As far as I know, the tomb raiders who were active along the banks of the Yellow River and then disappeared along its banks should be none other than Jin Suanpan.

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately began rummaging through the bag on the corpse. Sure enough, he soon found a small abacus in the bag next to the corpse.

Now it's confirmed, this person is indeed Jin Suanpan.

Actually, when you think about it, this Golden Abacus was also the grandmaster of Bai Jing's father's sworn brother, so Bai Jing naturally dared not neglect him.

Then he called on Hu Bayi and Fatty to bury Jin Suanpan's body together.

When Jin Suanpan's body was picked up, Bai Jing noticed a small jade pendant underneath his body.

The fat man, quick as a flash, picked up the jade pendant, smelled it, and handed it to Bai Jing, asking, "Old Bai, smell it, is this the thing?"

Bai Jing didn't even need to smell it; he could tell at a glance that it was a fragrant jade, and a top-grade one at that.

This thing may not look big, but it is absolutely precious.

I wouldn't dare say much, but in the capital, it would be easy to exchange for a three- or four-courtyard house.

Immediately, Bai Jing and Hu Bayi carried the remains, while Fatty carried the other items, and the group walked out of the cave.

Chapter 200 The Curse and the Treasure Flower

Soon, Jin Suanpan's remains were buried, and Bai Jing and the others discussed it and decided to go out first.

I'm a bit late today; it's probably almost 6 or 7 pm now, and it's getting dark.

Then everyone climbed out through the tunnel that Bai Jing and Hu Bayi had used to get there.

When Fatty and Big Gold Tooth left, they looked at the large bronze cauldron from the early Western Zhou Dynasty with some reluctance.

After they came out, the group rested in the Fishbone Temple.

Bai Jing and Hu Bayi were alright, but Fatty and Big Gold Tooth had been to the tomb several times and were exhausted.

Just then, Fatty suddenly felt a strong itch on his shoulder, so he asked Big Gold Tooth to scratch it for him. Hu Bayi also felt a little itchy, but he couldn't bear it and didn't say anything.

While Big Gold Tooth was scratching Fatty's itch, he suddenly noticed that what was just a red bump on his shoulder yesterday had now grown into a red spot shaped like an eye.

Big Gold Tooth immediately told Fatty about his discovery, and Fatty was also taken aback.

Then he remembered that Hu Bayi was in the same situation as him, so he quickly went to check Hu Bayi's shoulder and found that he also had an eye-shaped red spot.

The moment Hu Bayi clearly saw the red mark on the fat man's shoulder, he thought of the red mark he had seen on Shirley Yang's shoulder in the desert of Jingjue Ancient City, and his heart sank.

Then, Hu Bayi thought of something and looked at Bai Jing, asking, "Old Bai, take off your shirt, let me take a look at your back and see what's going on."

Logically speaking, since Bai Jing went to the Jingjue Ancient City with them, if Hu Bayi and Fatty had the Red Spot Curse, Bai Jing should have had it too.

Yesterday, perhaps because it hadn't yet become apparent, and given Bai Jing's full-back tattoos, it wasn't easy to see clearly, he wanted to check if Bai Jing was in the same situation.

Although Bai Jing didn't feel any itching on his back, he did sense that something had been off about him these past few days.

Putting everything else aside, just to mention one thing, I feel that my strength, speed, and even perception and mental state have become much more acute in the past few days.

Bai Jing's original punching power was enough to reach five or six hundred kilograms, but now it's different. Bai Jing estimates that his strength can reach at least seven or eight hundred kilograms.

The Kangxi sword is a precious sword, but it was originally made for human use, so it only weighs six or seven kilograms. However, now that Bai Jing holds it, it feels as light as a feather.

The only explanation is that his strength has recently made significant progress.

Bai Jing naturally knew Hu Bayi's worries, so he took off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique, which left Hu Bayi and the other two stunned.

The fat man pointed at Bai Jing's back and spoke.

"Old Hu, Jin Ye, don't you guys think the flowers on Old Bai's back are a little different from the ones we saw yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi leaned over to take a look, frowned, and said, "That's right, it's quite different now. Before, I felt that the flowers on Lao Bai's back didn't seem to have fully bloomed, but now they seem to have completely opened."

Big Gold Tooth looked for a while and then said, "No."

"No, Mr. Hu is right, it has indeed been opened up even wider."

Bai Jing was actually quite curious about the current state of the flower on his back.

Previously, Bai Jing lived alone, and under normal circumstances, no one would see his back. But now that so many people are saying that the flowers on his back are blooming more vigorously, Bai Jing is also curious about what state the flowers on his back have grown to.

What Bai Jing was certain of first was that the flower on his back was definitely a peony.

As for its effects, three have been confirmed so far, while two others are still uncertain.

First, there are two things that are confirmed. One of them is that Bai Pi previously told Bai Qi and Li Pangzi that they would not be disturbed by the illusion.

The second one is that he has gained the ability to be immune to all poisons.

The third point is quite obvious: my body ages at a rate one-third that of a normal person.

The two uncertainties are that, firstly, he seems to be unaffected by the snake god's curse, and no red spots of the curse have appeared on his body.

The second uncertainty is that my various physical qualities seem to have been greatly improved as a result.

So far, no side effects have been found.

Bai Jing didn't think too much about it. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost 7 p.m. It was only because the time zone here was about an hour later than that of the capital that it wasn't dark yet.

But Bai Jing and the others had to leave quickly.
