Chapter 1537
Zhang Tianxia said, "There is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the cave nearby."
"If you find it for me, I will return the treasure to you."
Wang Kaixuan said doubtfully, "You are not lying to us, are you?"
Zhang Tianxia shrugged, "Believe it or not, this is your only chance to get the treasure back."
Huo Jilin thought for a moment, "Okay, we promise you."
"But you have to promise that you will keep your promise after we complete the task."
Zhang Tianxia nodded, "I, Zhang Tianxia, always keep my word."
The three left the ruined temple and walked towards the cave.
Along the way, Wang Kaixuan muttered, "Will this guy really keep his word?"
Hu Bayi said, "Don't worry about it, let's find the Ganoderma lucidum first."
Huo Jilin said, "Everyone be careful, there may be danger in the cave."
Entering the cave, there was a pungent smell inside, and water dripped from the cave wall from time to time.
"This place is gloomy and scary." Wang Kaixuan said.
Hu Bayi held a torch to illuminate the front: "Don't be afraid, follow me closely."
Suddenly, a huge python rushed out from the darkness.
It rushed towards them with its bloody mouth wide open.
"Ah!" Wang Kaixuan retreated in fear.
Huo Jilin quickly drew his weapon and fought with the python.
Hu Bayi also joined the battle. The three of them took great effort and finally subdued the python.
"Keep going forward." Huo Jilin said.
After some searching, they finally found the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum deep in the cave.
"Finally found it!" Wang Kaixuan said excitedly.
The three of them returned to the ruined temple with the Ganoderma lucidum.
"We have completed the task, return the treasure to us!" Hu Bayi said.
Zhang Tianxia looked at Lingzhi and smiled: "Not bad, you are quite capable."
Wang Kaixuan said anxiously: "Don't talk too much, give us the treasure!"
Zhang Tianxia took out a package from behind: "Take it."
The three opened the package and saw that the treasure was intact, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhang Tianxia, you are trustworthy this time, but don't do such sneaky things in the future."
Huo Jilin said.
Zhang Tianxia snorted: "You don't have to teach me a lesson, we will never see each other again!"
After that, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
"Finally, the treasure was found back." Wang Kaixuan said.
Hu Bayi looked at the sky: "This time it was really a close call."
Huo Jilin said: "Let's go, we should leave here too."
After the three left the ruined temple with the treasure, they returned to the inn in the town.
Wang Kaixuan placed the treasure properly, sat on the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh my god, I finally found this treasure. I was really exhausted along the way."
Hu Bayi poured a glass of water, took a sip and said, "We are lucky to find the treasure this time."
"However, why did Zhang Tianxia suddenly appear in this town and set his eyes on our things? I always feel that things are not that simple."
Huo Jilin sat at the table, took out the mysterious jade pendant, and thought about it.
"I have been thinking that the secrets of this jade pendant may not be limited to those we have discovered before."
Wang Kaixuan came over.
"What is so special about this jade pendant? Could it bring us more trouble?"
Huo Jilin shook his head.
"It's hard to say, but since we got this jade pendant, we have been constantly encountering various dangers and accidents. Maybe it hides a bigger secret."
Hu Bayi frowned: "Then we have to be careful, don't cause any more trouble because of this jade pendant."
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.
Huo Jilin walked to the window and looked out.
"Something seems to have happened outside." Huo Jilin said.
The three of them came to the door of the inn, and saw the townspeople gathered together, talking about it.
"What happened?" Hu Bayi asked a townsperson.
The townspeople said nervously:
"I heard that people have been missing in the town recently, and everyone is in a panic."
Wang Kaixuan said in surprise: "Missing? This is too strange."
Huo Jilin looked around: "Could it be related to this jade pendant?"
Hu Bayi said: "Don't guess blindly, go investigate first."
They asked around in the town.
Finally, they got some clues from an old man.
The old man lowered his voice and said: "I heard that these missing people disappeared at night."
"And... some strange symbols were found in their homes."
"Strange symbols?" Huo Jilin asked.
The old man nodded: "Yes, it seems to be related to some evil ritual."
Wang Kaixuan shuddered with fear: "Is it some demon or ghost causing trouble?"
Hu Bayi glared at him: "Don't scare yourself.”
Back at the inn, the three began to analyze the clues.
Huo Jilin said with the jade pendant:
"Could it be that someone created these disappearances in order to get this jade pendant?"
Hu Bayi shook his head: "It's unlikely. Few people know the secret of this jade pendant."
Wang Kaixuan suddenly thought of it.
"Could it be related to the tomb of King Hui? Maybe we have touched some taboos."
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment!
"It's possible. Maybe we have to go to the tomb again."
Hu Bayi hesitated: "This is too risky. There may be other dangers."
Wang Kaixuan said: "But if we don't figure it out, we can't stay in peace in this town."
Finally, the three decided to go to the tomb of King Hui again.
Arriving at the entrance of the tomb, Huo Jilin said: "Everyone be careful."
They walked into the tomb carefully, and there was a strange atmosphere inside.
"Why do I feel that this place is more gloomy than last time? "Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind.
Hu Bayi held a torch and illuminated the front: "Don't talk too much, pay attention to your surroundings."
As they walked, they came to a tomb they had never been to before.
"Look, there are those strange symbols on the wall again." Huo Jilin pointed to the wall and said.
Hu Bayi walked forward and observed carefully: "Is this an ancient spell?"
Soon, Huo Jilin continued to look for clues in the tomb.
Finally found an ancient scroll.
"Maybe there is the answer we want on it." Huo Jilin said.
They took the scroll back to the town and studied it.
It was found that the disappearance was related to an ancient curse.
And this curse seems to be inextricably linked to the jade pendant?
"This is troublesome, how can we remove this curse?"
Wang Kaixuan asked.
Hu Bayi said: "Don't worry, look for a solution in the scroll first. "
After several days of hard work, they finally found a way to break the curse.
On a full moon night, the three followed the instructions in the book.
A ceremony was held in the center of the town.
As the ceremony progressed, a ray of light flashed.
Buzz!
The curse was finally lifted, and the missing townspeople returned safely.
"Great, it's finally over."
Wang Kaixuan said excitedly.
Hu Bayi looked at the jade pendant in Huo Jilin's hand: "This jade pendant really brought a lot of trouble."
Huo Jilin said: "But it also made us experience such an adventure."
The other two smiled bitterly and had to admit that what he said made sense!
