Without the suppression of the Lu family, the reputation of the manor is also getting bigger and bigger under Yunli's management, the income continues to rise steadily, and various undertakings are also carried out quite smoothly, the days pass quickly, and the news of the Lu family finally came, they will leave for the desert in a week, and inform Yunli in advance to let him gather at the secret stronghold.

Yunli estimated that this trip would be delayed for several days, so he made up a statement for everyone to return to his hometown, he was going to leave the manor for a while, and all the affairs would be left to everyone to take care of, Xu Xiangjiao had successfully obtained the admission qualifications, and soon Xu Jiali and she would go to the city center to report for classes and further study, and their jobs were taken over.

And Huang Li and Shen Hong have already come back to resume their work, Xu Xiangming's change is also obvious, his work enthusiasm is very high, and there is no problem in all other aspects, and with Lu Ci in charge of the overall situation here, his departure will have little impact on the operation of the manor.

Yun Li set off as soon as he received the news, but instead of going straight to the meeting point, he went to the academy first and found Professor Yan Li, the exploration of the ruins in Banlu Mountain had been completed, it was indeed the burial place of King Geten and his party, and the remains of King Geten were also in it.

However, according to Yan Li's many investigations, this King Geten was not killed in the conflict, nor was he buried by a sudden earthquake, but was poisoned, and it was a chronic poison, even after so many years, the traces of toxin erosion can still be clearly identified in his bones, and it will have this effect only after long-term use, rather than being injured to death by poisoned weapons.

This discovery made Yun Li very confused, not only King Geten, but also several sets of remains also have this situation, Yan Li speculated that these few of them should have been poisoned and controlled by people for several days, and even said that before that conflict, it was already a corpse, but it was just transported in a carriage, the reason for this inference was that he had asked experts to examine several sets of poisoned remains, including King Geten, and none of them were obviously injured by fighting, if it was a conflict, it would be impossible to have no injuries at all.

According to his reasoning, this conflict is likely to be just an artificial illusion, and the earthquake was an unexpected disaster, someone is planning all this behind it, and the goal is obviously to lure the county lord of Gexian out, and I don't know if the death of the county lord of Gexian has anything to do with them.

Yun Li's first thought was the Lu family, the Lu family coveted the ability of the county lord of Gexian, and was also afraid of her ability, so they set up a bureau to get rid of her, although the Wangtian Department where the county lord of Gexian was located at that time took them in and faced a desperate situation, but with the means and ambition of the Lu family, it is not impossible to do this kind of thing of revenge.

But after thinking about it, he also thought of other possibilities, the death of the county lord of Gexian must be inseparable from this matter, but there is no more evidence to support his speculation, so he can only put this matter aside first, and when he has enough strength to open the Qinghei Stone Gate, the truth should be able to surface.

Immediately after he came to the headquarters of Nanyuan Group in the southwest, Wang Chengyuan already knew that he accepted the invitation of the Lu family and wanted to go to the northwest desert swamp, this matter was a secret in the Lu family's secrets, if Yun Li didn't say it, he would not have known, Yun Li wanted to listen to the opinion of this senior, so he explained the matter to him.

In Wang Chengyuan's office, the two sat opposite each other, Wang Chengyuan put a small square wooden box and a long leather bag on the small table, pushed them in front of Yunli, and said, "Bring these two things, I believe it will help you." ”

Yun Li hesitated for a moment, reached out and opened the small wooden box first, there was a round walnut-sized stone bead lying inside, Yun Li was no stranger to it, its name is Breaking the Forbidden Bead, made of a mixture of many different materials, it is filled with mercury, it has many uses, the most important thing is to judge the situation on the other side of the door wall, whether it is a dead end, hollow or some trap, it can be perceived, it is the dream of tomb robbers, and it is also one of Wang Chengyuan's treasures.

Last time in the mysterious tomb of the Snow Mountain, the three of them relied on the strange ability of this strange treasure to break through the aisle all the way, and finally escaped alive.

This forbidden pearl is Wang Chengyuan's precious treasure, he is willing to lend it to love, it is enough to see his friendship with Yunli, Yunli did not pretend to push back, nodded to him, closed the small wooden box, and then continued to turn over the long leather bag.

Inside the bag was a delicate short-inch knife, less than an arm's length, but the blade that looked light was very heavy, and it was no problem for ordinary people to pick it up, but it would definitely be difficult to hold it for a while.

The scabbard is silvery-white, and the handle and the blade are matte black and not shiny, using a rare one-piece casting process, there is no obvious knife grid, the transition from the handle to the blade is natural, the overall straight blade, the tip of the knife has a slight outward arc, the blade is extremely sharp, and the simplicity has a strong atmosphere of competition, and it is not ordinary at a glance.

Compared with the quaint knife body, the silver-white scabbard looks a little gorgeous and out of place, although it is very beautifully done, and the surrounding carved decoration is also very pleasing to the eye, but compared with the knife body itself, it is suddenly overshadowed.

"When I got it, I only had this black blade, and the scabbard was created by someone later, which looked a little nondescript when combined, but it could also hide its edge, and it could give the enemy a surprise effect." Wang Chengyuan could see Yunli's doubts, so he explained to him.

"A good short blade, a seamless handle and blade, delicate and compact, sharpening iron like clay, this iron-like porcelain-like material, should be forged with a unique secret method, it must be from the hands of a famous artist, I don't know what its name is?" Yun Li stroked its cold blade with his fingertips, and asked in admiration.

"Its provenance can no longer be studied, but I have found an expert to test, it is mixed with a certain proportion of obsidian with fine iron, after repeated refining and forging to be baked, this forging method is very complex, the success rate is also very low, obsidian is a precious volcanic crystal gemstone, and its shape is also very appropriate, so I named it obsidian knife." Wang Chengyuan introduced.

"Obsidian Ancient Knife, good name, then I will thank Uncle Yuan, whether it is the Forbidden Bead or the Obsidian Ancient Knife, I will send it back to you in good condition when the time comes." With these two treasures, Yun Li's confidence in this trip increased a little more, and he assured Wang Chengyuan with a smile.

"You don't have to save it, these things are used to break through the customs and block disasters, it's better to have nothing to do than anything, and the treasures you hide are much more precious than mine, it doesn't matter if they are broken, I'll go to your side and pick a few things as compensation." Wang Chengyuan laughed and said, although it was a joke, if Yun Li really lost something, he could only take out the Lu family's collection to compensate Wang Chengyuan.

"Is that place really as evil as you say? The Lu family also attaches great importance to this matter, and has frequently contacted me recently to confirm the itinerary, it seems that they are very nervous, and even this family of tomb robbers has to cheer up. Yunli turned the conversation back to business.

"Do you know how deserts are formed?" Wang Chengyuan did not answer directly, but asked this seemingly unrelated question.

"Well, I really haven't studied it in detail, it should be that after the water veins dry up, they can't be replenished, and the animals and plants can't survive, so it will become a barren area, and it will deteriorate and spread little by little, and finally form today's desert form, right?" Yunli speculated.

Wang Chengyuan shook his head and explained: "Generally speaking, this is the case, but there is such a legend, a long time ago, the entire universe was still in a very unstable state, and from time to time there would be various foreign objects from outside the sky to visit the earth, meteorites are the most common, the huge meteorite impact smashed the earth out of several death zones, the real deserts were smashed out of meteorites in this way, and the same is true of the basin desert you went to this time." ”

"I've heard of this statement, but it doesn't seem to have a specific scientific basis, if it's a crater, it's really good to explain why there are so many unexplained phenomena in it, and so many strange legends." Yunli groaned.

"Whether there is a scientific basis or not, but the reality is that there are too many things that cannot be answered with common sense, and the same is true of the Wa Emperor Palace you are going to, the legend of Nuwa mending the sky you should know, there is a saying that she uses extraterrestrial meteorites to mend the sky, and the Yu clan that believes in her has a unique ability to explore meteorites, and specializes in finding the burial places of these extraterrestrial meteorites to build the Wa Emperor Palace, and at the same time has obtained more powerful power than other tribes." Wang Chengyuan continued to explain.

"You mean, the Wa Emperor Palace that the Lu family and I are going to this time was built on an extraterrestrial meteorite?" Yun Li was shocked, he had never thought about this question, and the Lu family had not revealed this information to him.

Wang Chengyuan nodded heavily, and said: "It is very likely, the Yu family is said to be the descendants of Nuwa, and there is also a very special burial tradition, the patriarch, high priest and goddess of high status in the clan will bury the body under the colossus of Nuwa after death, praying to return to the side of the great god Nuwa, so that she can give divine power a new life, so under the Wa Emperor Palace, there will generally be a large mausoleum, and the secrets of the Yu family are also buried in it." ”

After hearing this explanation, Yun Li was even more at ease, and immediately asked: "If the Yu clan found the meteorite outside the sky, built the Wa Emperor Palace at the door, and dug a mausoleum below, with the help of the strange power of the meteorite outside the sky, then the Wa Emperor Palace is an excellent place to defend and shelter, which is indeed very consistent with the rumors, is the most taboo thing for the Lu family is the strange meteorite power?" ”
