Lin Yang waved his hand gently: "Now you know, didn't your sister take your memories?"
Ma Xianhong was silent for a moment, then sighed, "It's her. I never imagined that all her kindness towards me was just a pretense."
His voice was filled with disappointment and pain: "Everything she did was to use me."
Lin Yang raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Then what do you think her purpose is?"
Ma Xianhong shook his head and said, "I don't know. She seems to have an extreme desire for power, but I don't know what she wants to do."
Lin Yang smiled slightly: "I guess she might be after the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."
"The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley?" Ma Xianhong paused, a puzzled look on his face. "What kind of place is that?"
Lin Changsheng took a deep breath and slowly said, "It is a mysterious place hidden outside the secular world, called the Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms."
"It is a spiritual cave that allows ordinary people to transform into extraordinary beings; it can also be described as a blessed land."
He glanced at Ma Xianhong and, seeing that he was listening intently, continued:
"You should have heard of the Thirty-Six Thieves and the Eight Extraordinary Skills from back then, right?"
Ma Xianhong nodded.
Lin Changsheng continued, "Back then, it was when Wugensheng and the others stepped into this Valley of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms that they comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Skills that shocked the world."
Ma Xianhong couldn't help but ask:
"But who exactly created this place?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly and took over the conversation: "Actually, this place was created by Zhang Boduan, the man from Ziyang Mountain."
"He was originally an ordinary person, but through his own efforts and wisdom, he created this spiritual cave that can give ordinary people superpowers."
"His original intention was to benefit mankind and enable more people to have the power to protect themselves and others."
He paused, then continued, "However, as time went by, this place gradually became a secret of the Inhuman world."
"Many people want to find it, but they have never been able to."
Ma Xianhong listened intently and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, do you mean that Qu Tong's goal is to find this Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley?"
Lin Yang nodded: "That's right. To be precise, she's after the secret of immortality here."
You should know Feng Baobao, right?
Ma Xianhong nodded again: "I understand."
Lin Yang said, "Feng Baobao is over a hundred years old."
"But she has always maintained the appearance and figure of her youth."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong's eyes widened immediately: "Over a hundred years old? How is that possible?" He felt a shock of disbelief.
Lin Yang continued, "Moreover, Feng Baobao's physique is extraordinary; she's practically immortal. She can recover quickly from any injury, it's simply defying the heavens."
Ma Xianhong's eyes widened upon hearing this: "That terrifying?"
"What's so scary about it?" Lin Yang glanced at him.
"You're pretty much the same as her now, both of you are immortal and indestructible. What's so scary about that?"
He said, "You are even more terrifying than Feng Baobao. Feng Baobao will die, but you will never die."
Ma Xianhong was taken aback, then realized what was happening.
That's right! Don't I now possess the ability to be immortal?
Thinking about it this way, wouldn't he have already obtained what Qu Tong had been dreaming of?
Lin Yang continued, "So, that woman Qu Tong has been eyeing Feng Baobao all along."
“She knew about Feng Baobao’s situation and also knew a lot about the Thirty-Six Thieves back then.”
"They probably want to find the secret to immortality from Feng Baobao."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xianhong finally understood Qu Tong's intention.
It turns out this woman had been using me all along, hoping to achieve immortality.
He felt a surge of anger, but mostly relief.
I'm so glad I met Lin Yang and became a member of Pawnshop No. 8.
"Boss, what should I do next?" Ma Xianhong asked.
Lin Yang thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'm going to put you in charge of disciplinary tasks in the Southwest region."
"Since Qu Tong asked you to make the body-refining furnace, then go ahead and do it. But remember to take your time and don't rush things."
After listening, Ma Xianhong nodded: "I know what to do."
[Ding, congratulations host for completing a pawn transaction, current progress 13/40].
Chapter 171: Kunlun Divine Palace
The moment Ma Xianhong left Pawnshop No. 8.
He embarked on his journey back to Biyou Village.
Meanwhile, the tomb raiding trio—Fatty Wang, Hu Bayi, and Shirley Yang—found Lin Yang once again.
"Boss, I have good news!"
Fatty Wang burst through the door, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
"We've found the location of the next tomb! This is a major discovery!"
Hu Bayi nodded in agreement, his eyes revealing excitement and anticipation: "That's right, boss, this time we've found the location of the Kunlun Divine Palace."
"According to ancient records, that was the capital of the ancient Demon Kingdom, Evil Luo Sea City!"
Upon hearing this name, a strange light flashed in Lin Yang's eyes.
He slowly put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Kunlun Divine Palace? Evil Luo Sea City? I have heard some legends about them."
"Oh? Boss, you know?" Sherry Yang leaned closer curiously.
"Tell us quickly, what's the background of this Kunlun Divine Palace?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly and began to explain: "Legend has it that this Kunlun Divine Palace is the capital of the Demon Kingdom."
"The Demon Kingdom, you must have heard of it, right?"
"That was a mysterious kingdom established by the Ghost Cave tribe after they migrated to the Kunlun Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau."
"They thrived there and created a brilliant civilization."
"However, they suddenly left Kunlun Mountain, leaving behind only an empty city."
"You left? Why did you leave?" Sherry Yang couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yang slowly concluded, "Ero City was submerged in a wind-eroded lake overnight due to a massive landslide disaster."
"That disaster directly led to the destruction of the Demon Kingdom's main city."
"The Demon Kingdom was thus destroyed in the long river of history."
"Of course, besides natural disasters, there are other reasons, but those are things to talk about later."
He paused, then continued, "If you really want to go, perhaps you'll understand the reasons then."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Boss, what are we waiting for? I reckon there must be a lot of treasures there. Let's hurry up and set off to find them!"
Seeing Wang Pangzi's eager look, Lin Yang smiled and said, "There are definitely treasures there. However, there's more to it than just treasures."
He wasn't exaggerating.
If this world were simply a world of tomb raiding, it might be fine. But the problem is, this world is teeming with gods, Buddhas, demons, and monsters.
So how could there not be anything strange inside the Kunlun Divine Palace?
After all, the last time they went to the tomb of the evil King Xian, they encountered many complicated situations.
Especially that Prince Xian, the old man is still alive, yet he still caused so much trouble.
What about the Kunlun Divine Palace?
This is not just a place from legend.
The people of the Demon Kingdom once lived and thrived there, leaving behind countless secrets.
The Demon Mothers of successive Demon Kingdoms are even more mysterious and unpredictable, sending chills down one's spine.
Various legends about Kunlun Mountain came to Lin Yang's mind.
White-haired Wolf King, Sin-Eating Balu, Snow Maitreya...
In this world where gods and monsters coexist.
Those things must be much more powerful, and there might even be something else involved.
Fatty Wang looked completely unconcerned. He laughed and said, "With you here, boss, why would I be afraid of those guys?"
As he spoke, he looked at Hu Bayi and said, "What do you think, Old Hu?"
Hu Bayi nodded and said, "That's right, of course we won't be afraid if the boss is here."
Sherry Yang agreed, saying, "The boss is the owner of Pawnshop No. 8. I can only say that those guys were unlucky to run into him."
Lin Yang smiled and said, "Alright, stop flattering me."
He continued, "Since we're going to Kunlun Mountain, everyone should get ready."
Lin Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's set off tomorrow."
At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly raised an eyebrow and said mysteriously, "By the way, boss, a special guy has come to us this time, saying he wants to go on an adventure together."
Lin Yang was slightly taken aback, then a look of curiosity appeared on his face: "Oh? Who is so bold as to want to go to Kunlun Divine Palace with us?"
0 ······Requesting flowers·· ········
Hu Bayi chuckled and stroked the stubble on his chin: "He's a Hong Konger named Uncle Ming. I heard he's quite famous there; he's an antique dealer."
Upon hearing the name "Uncle Ming," Lin Yang's lips curled into a meaningful smile: "Uncle Ming? I've heard of that name before. Since he wants to come along, let him join us."
Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang immediately became displeased and muttered, "Boss, why are we taking this guy of unknown origin with us? What if he causes trouble?"
