Chapter 17 The Secret of Sunflower

Lift the veil and take advantage of the dim moonlight coming through the window.

Only then did Su Chen clearly see the face of the person coming.

He's actually an acquaintance.

The uninvited guest in front of me is Xiao Anzi, who is now working in the back room.

Su Chen only met Eunuch Li a month ago because of his funeral arrangements, but there was no conflict or enmity between the two.

Why did this person sneak into his room late at night?

"On New Year's Eve, Mr. An didn't stay in his room to watch the New Year's Eve. How could he be in the mood to visit me?"

Su Chen stepped on the other person's heart.

Take advantage of the situation and use a dagger to cut off the opponent's hands and feet to prevent counterattack.

But this is obviously a bit redundant.

His continuous powerful punches had already shocked the opponent's organs and caused bleeding from all the orifices. Although he did not die immediately, he had no power to resist.

"Hmph, now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll kill or behead you as you please. Why bother to be sarcastic..."

Xiao Anzi on the ground coughed up a mouthful of blood and gritted his teeth and said.

You can't tell that although this guy looks ugly, he still has a bit of toughness.

Su Chen was not in a hurry, he had to find out why the other party came here first.

So he reached out and took out a few ceramic bottles from his arms, and while playing with them, he said: "Isn't it because Mr. An visited me late at night for these worthless things?"

Said.

He opened one of the gray bottles, and immediately a scent like almond blossoms wafted out.

"This is Crispy Bone Powder. Just a tiny bit of it will make your whole body numb, and even your bones will become as crispy as biscuits. If you move a little, you can clearly hear the sound of your own bones shattering and cracking..."

"And this, I call it Cruciatus. When you sprinkle it on a person, it will get into the pores of the skin, like ants, biting away from the skin and flesh bit by bit, and going straight into the organs. This process is very slow, and it will take about two or three days.

Anyway, few people come to my Kuiyuan, so you should have a long time to slowly understand..."

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi on the ground turned pale, with fear in his pupils.

He is not afraid of death, but afraid of torture.

This Su Chen, I don't know where he got so many weird poisons. If he tried them one by one, it would be worse than death.

He immediately said: "I said, whatever you want to know, I will tell you the truth. I just want you to be happy..."

"now it's right."

Su Chen nodded.

Before he could ask questions, Xiao Anzi had already taken the initiative to explain.

"My real name is An Yu, and I am a disciple of the Lingnan Great Sun Sect. Five years ago, I was ordered to sneak into the palace to find a sacred object left by the saint of our sect in her early years..."

The Great Sun Cult?

Su Chen frowned when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this little Anzi actually had such a background.

Su Chen had read about the Lingnan Sun God Sect in a book of Jianghu miscellany. According to legend, it was a Jianghu sect established during the Taizu period. It was very old. It had established meritorious deeds at the beginning of Taizu's founding of the country, so it was considered preferential treatment by the court.

, quite powerful and prestigious in the Lingnan region.

But as time went by, this sect gradually declined, and now it has almost disappeared.

The last record about the Great Sun Sect was during the period of Emperor Heng more than a hundred years ago. During a private visit incognito, Emperor Heng got to know the Holy Girl of the Great Sun Sect and brought her back to the palace against all objections.

, although she does not have the title of concubine, she is extremely doted on...

The reason why Su Chen remembered it so clearly was because the saint of the Great Sun Sect lived in Kuiyuan back then.

At that time, Kwai Garden had not yet been transformed into a library.

The name of Kuiyuan is also derived from her love of sunflowers. She is known as Mrs. Sunflower in the world. However, it cannot be included in official historical records and is only circulated in some unofficial biographies...

"So, you did not hesitate to become a eunuch and sneak into the palace to find the so-called holy objects?"

"yes."

Anyu raised her head with difficulty and said: "Back then, the saint was deceived by the dog emperor and brought the sacred objects of our religion as dowry to this deep palace. She lived a happy life. But our religion lost the inheritance of the sacred objects.

, the martial arts was cut off as a result, gradually declined, and now it is falling apart. I must retrieve the sacred objects to have a chance to revive the sect..."

"So three years ago, I spent a lot of effort to work as an errand in Kuiyuan. I wanted to search for holy objects secretly. Who would have thought that I was discovered by Eunuch Li. The old eunuch was a good man. He didn't kill me, he just drove me away.

We arrived at the funeral room. And I know that as long as he is alive, I can no longer set foot in this place, otherwise I will die..."

An Yu honestly told the whole story.

After hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little impressed.

This guy is a ruthless person.

How much courage does it take to even give up the roots of your descendants for the sake of so-called sacred objects?

What exactly is that so-called holy object that can have such great appeal?

"I have been in Kwai Yuen for three years. I am familiar with the place inside and out. But apart from the books in the library, there is nothing else. What is the sacred object you are talking about and how to find it?

Am I here?"

Su Chen frowned and asked.

This is also what puzzles him the most.

An Yu glanced at him contemptuously and sneered: "It is a sacred object, how can it be found so easily? Before the saint died, in order to prevent this object from being stolen, a special temple was built in Kuiyuan.

To the secret room, you must obtain the key, and then you can find the entrance and enter it under its guidance. And this key later fell into the hands of Eunuch Li..."

"I see."

After hearing this, Su Chen probably figured it out.

There is a secret place hidden in Kuiyuan, which may contain the holy relics of the Sun Religion left by "Mrs. Sunflower", and the key is in the hands of Eunuch Li.

Xiao Anzi probably wanted to steal this key before he was discovered.

No wonder he came to collect Eunuch Li's body in person, and then looked disappointed when he found out that he had sorted out the remains.

It seems that he thought that Eunuch Li had left the key to him, so he took the risk to steal it.

"No, there aren't many relics left by Eunuch Li. They are just some daily necessities. I didn't find any keys or anything like that in them. Could it be that they were missed?"

Su Chen frowned secretly.

But now is not the time to take stock.

He turned his head and glanced at An Yu: "Eunuch Li has been dead for more than a month, why did you wait until now to take action?"

"Eunuch Li was once the chief eunuch of Jiyong. He was very powerful. If you followed him for three years, you would definitely be able to practice martial arts. And I don't know your specific strength, so of course I dare not take action rashly. So, I secretly observed you for a month.

, I made sure that you haven't forged your bones before taking action. But I didn't expect that you are more cunning than I thought, and you actually set up so many traps in the room..."

Good guy.

This kid is quite smart, and he knows how to know himself and his enemy.

If I hadn't prepared these traps in advance, I might have suffered a real loss this time. If the other party couldn't find the key, they would definitely capture the one I was asking for, and life or death would be uncertain.

"It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, we should prepare some self-defense measures like this, just in case."

Su Chen thought to himself and asked: "What exactly is this holy object you are talking about?"

"I don't know. It's just that there are records in the religion. This thing has been passed down for a long time. It existed at the same time as the Taizu of Chu State. I heard that it is related to immortal cultivators. It contains the supreme inheritance that our Great Sun Sect relies on..."

"Is it related to the cultivators?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen suddenly became interested.

Anything that has anything to do with immortal cultivators must be extraordinary.

But it's a pity.

An Yu's information about this thing is also very limited.

I only know that it is somewhere in Kwai Yuen.

Su Chen tried to press him a few more times to make sure that the other party was telling the truth, so he had no choice but to give up.

Finally, looking at the dying An Yu, Su Chen asked the last question.

"Did you bury Eunuch Li's body properly?"
