Leaving the Jade Gate to the West

After things went in a huge circle, it seemed that they had returned to the starting point - the secret of the reincarnation of Tao Wangqing's remnant soul!

This secret stumped Wushuang's father, the previous ferryman. After it was transferred to our hands, its complexity refreshed our understanding time and time again, and it is the same this time.

The curse on Wen Tao and his descendants undoubtedly comes from the golden cat's eye. To be more precise, it should come from the big snake. Let's call it a big snake, but we know in our hearts that that thing is definitely not a snake.

, at best, it looks more like a snake. No matter how high the snake is, even if it really transforms into a dragon, it is impossible for its body organs to turn into gems. That thing is definitely something that is beyond the scope of our knowledge.

Spiritual creatures are born and nurtured by nature, and are most favored by heaven. Just like punishing ghosts and slaves, it is ominous to kill them.

Ever since it died of the greed of the snake catcher, the curse has actually begun. A curse that is more terrifying than death, lingering silently in the world, like Jiang Taigong fishing, waiting for the arrival of the one who is willing to take the bait.

Once someone becomes greedy and covets it, they will immediately entangle with it, haunting the greedy person like a nightmare, forever and ever.

A curse like this is tantamount to divine punishment!!

This is completely consistent with the diagnosis my master initially gave to Li Jianglong.

This kind of curse is the most difficult to deal with and has almost no solution, but... Tao Wangqing can solve it?!

What kind of power is this?!

In short, I can't imagine that her remnant soul can escape the reckoning of heavenly punishment, and can also break the curse similar to heavenly punishment. Such an ability is unheard of. Even the Tenth Palace of Hell in the Underworld can't do such a thing, right?

The amount of information is too huge, and we need time to digest it, and we also need time to sort out the chaotic thoughts.

Li Jianglong was very considerate, smart enough not to say anything more, and gave us enough time to think.

It was so quiet in the pavilion that you could hear a needle drop, and there was only the "rustling" sound of the breeze blowing through the vegetation.

After a long time, I gradually woke up, hesitated, and said: "Tao Wangqing's body has been taken away by Wen Tao's capable men and strangers. Do you suspect... that he actually buried Tao Wangqing and himself together?"

Li Jianglong said: "The possibility is very high! I am at least 90% sure, including the golden cat's eye, it should be in his tomb!"

"Then what? What are you going to do?"

I knew that she must have concealed some things, especially about the curse in their family. At this time, I stared into her eyes and asked: "Wen Tao thinks that Tao Wangqing can resolve the curse. He has found Tao Wangqing's bones and put his own

Buried together with Tao Wangqing, it's been a thousand years, but the curse on your family has still not been broken. Even if you find the golden cat's eye, what can you do?"

"I have my own way!"

Li Jianglong's eyes did not dodge, he looked at me and said: "And I promise, this is just our family's matter and will not have any impact on you."

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, I didn't force her, so I asked instead: "So, where is Wen Tao's tomb? Do you have any clues? He was poisoned to death by Li Siyuan in Dezhou, Shandong. As for the whereabouts of his body,

Many people speculate that he should be buried in a mass grave outside Dezhou City. Haolai is a famous thief in history. After death, you can't be buried naked, right? There will always be something very valuable close to you.

Yes, so countless people have been searching for his burial place since ancient times. After all, he was killed by poison. The bodies of people who took poison are easy to distinguish, and they can be found by digging up mass graves.

The result? The mass graves outside Dezhou, Shandong were almost turned into honeycombs, but Wen Tao's body was not found. It can be seen that he was not buried outside the city of Dezhou.

As a result, some people suspected that he had returned to his roots. Historical records clearly stated that he was a native of China in northern Beijing, which is now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province. It was not a big place, so how could it withstand the swarm of native Turks from all over the world who were looking for him?

I heard that in the past few decades, dozens of people have moved to Changsha alone, and many have been detained by the police. These people have dug up the ground in Yaoxian County for three feet, but they still haven’t found his grave. It can be seen that

…His bones are also not in the place of his birth.

I've been looking into this for a while, but I don't have any clues."

"Our family has many connections in Taoism, and I have met many Taoism people. Without flattery, if it comes to conquering demons, catching and killing, even if it involves murder and arson, you guys are the best in the world.

You are a first-class hero, but looking for information, networking, etc... are really not what you should do. Especially searching for Wen Tao's tomb, which can no longer be found by relying on information on the surface.

It’s not easy to use the native master’s tricks..."

Li Jianglong smiled, tactfully commented on our strengths and weaknesses, and then said: "I am not a person who is aimless. Today, I have come to you in such a big way and told you such a long story.

, naturally I am somewhat certain that whether it is the corpse of my ancestor or Tao Wangqing's bones... they are definitely not in the two places you mentioned!

If nothing unexpected happens, I should have gone to the Northwest!

I'm 80% sure about this.

One of the many pieces of information I have searched for over the past few years is that on the eve of my ancestor being killed by Li Siyuan, a large number of his old brothers left him without any warning, headed westward, and finally disappeared near Yumen Pass.

Soon after, a wave of giant bandits appeared on the Silk Road outside Yumen Pass, plundering merchants. Some local historical records and private manuscripts in Dunhuang mentioned this group of giant bandits.

This gang of giant bandits is very interesting in what they do. They rarely plunder money. They almost only rob water and food, and capture some young and middle-aged men...

I think these giant bandits should be the old brothers around my ancestor. These people are loyal to him. Many of them started out as bandits with him in Shaanxi. There is absolutely no way they could betray him!!

I suspect that my ancestors must have had a premonition that they were about to die soon, so they made arrangements for these people in advance.

Combined with what these giant bandits are doing, what do you think... he is doing?"

I frowned and said: "We don't rob money, we only rob people, water and food... Is it to build tombs?"

"My dear, I think so too!!"

Li Jianglong snapped his fingers and said: "When Li Siyuan killed my ancestors, he only had two or three scribes left around him. These scribes bribed the bad guys who were guarding him at the time, so he didn't do anything before he died.

What kind of harsh treatment was received.

These things are by no means speculations on my part, they are all based on solid evidence, because one of the two scribes is the accountant, and all money expenditures are recorded. I have found all the account books, and the money spent on bribing bad people is recorded in them.

They all have names!

And on the day my ancestor was poisoned, his body and the two bad guys who were guarding him all disappeared silently!!

In today's Shazhou, Dunhuang, there is a family that still has a family tree. Among the two bad guys who bribed... one of them is actually on this family's family tree!!

This means...the bad guy may have taken his body to Dunhuang and were operating in the same area as those giant bandits!"

Bad people...

This is certainly not the kind of bad guy seen in today's cartoons.

They really existed, but they were not mysterious. In fact, they were the detectives and arrest officers of the Tang Dynasty!

"If this isn't enough, there's another one!"

Li Jianglong smiled confidently and said: "I once found a fortune teller who was famous in your Xuanmen to calculate the whereabouts of the bodies of my ancestors. This fortune teller has never made a mistake in his life. Although he couldn't determine the specific details,

position, but clearly told me that the bandit star fell in the northwest!

The combination of these three is enough to confirm that the tomb of my ancestor... is definitely in the northwest, probably on the Silk Road. As for why he went there, combined with his arrangements for his cronies, I think it is probably related to breaking the curse.

of!"

Brother Yaozi asked: "Fortune Master? I wonder who the fortune teller you are talking about is..."

"Forget it, I won't mention his name. It's too unlucky. Because of his mouth, he is no longer human. He looks like a monster...

Indescribable, hmm...

This word is very appropriate for him!"

Li Jianglong sighed and said, "Let me put it this way...you should know who it is, right?"

Brother Yaozi looked stern.

I was also a little surprised, thinking that this Xuanmen is really small. Qingzhu had asked this person to help me figure it out before, but no one was willing to mention his name until now. Brother Yaozi said that that person was much more unlucky than Xing Guili.

Li Jianglong lifted up her hair. There was a very obvious scar on her forehead. She rubbed the scar and said with a bitter smile: "The bandit star fell in the northwest. He just said this, and I didn't dare to tell him."

I just wanted to say that, after hearing this, I got up and left in a hurry. On the way back, I saw two people fighting across the street. One of them was holding a bottle in his hand and throwing it at the other person. At that time, I was alert and immediately

I went into the store next to me, and as a result... the wine bottle in the man's hand miraculously fell out of his hand, and then miraculously flew across the four-lane road. Finally, it mysteriously landed on my head again and again, smashing it to pieces.

I fell unconscious on the spot. God knows how this happened. People were coming and going on the sidewalks on both sides, but no one was hit. They flew twenty or thirty meters straight towards me.

After I woke up in the hospital, I had only one thought in my head - luckily I only said a few words to him. If I had said a few more words, it would have been a weight instead of a wine bottle, and I might have died.

…”

"It's quite mysterious..."

I said: "However, compared with what happened to your ancestors, it's not that interesting. Your ancestors even saw themselves die, and they were able to calmly arrange their own affairs without struggling at all. It seems like that

Curse is more terrible than death!"

"That's what happened. I also invited some Taoist people to find out the whereabouts of the deceased people in my family. As a result... none of them are in the underworld. I don't know where they went!!"

Li Jianglong stretched out, stood up, and then stretched out his hand to us, with a bright smile on his face: "Everything has been made clear. You see, we actually have a basis for cooperation. After all, we are looking for

We are in the same place. You are better at fighting and can easily resolve all kinds of evil things. But I, with money, people, and connections, can help you with almost everything you can't, including finding that building.

tomb.

So... a round of cooperation?

Of course, if you think I am a good person and decide to make friends with our Li family, that would be even better. I think I am a relatively enthusiastic person, and I will be happy to help my friends with any small favor.

"

My master asked: "What about time? How long will it take to find that place?"

"I don't have two years left. I don't want to die, so I must find it before I die."

Li Jianglong blinked and said: "Of course, judging from the many clues I have now, I don't think I will challenge my own survival limit. It should not take long to find it!"

"Then...good!"

My master stood up, shook hands with the other party, and immediately separated. He took a deep look at Li Jianglong and said, "I hope you can hurry up. You are in danger, and we are not optimistic here either!"

"..."
Chapter completed!
