Chapter 279 The Secret of the Cartridge

After hearing that the ink cartridge was stolen by Wu Xuanyin from the main altar of the Snake God Cult, Nie Zheng immediately became interested.

At this time, Wu Xuanyin stood up suddenly, took out a black box with a strange shape from her arms, and handed it to Nie Zheng with great care.

"Commander, I secretly stole this item from Ten Thousand Snake Peak more than 20 years ago, but after so many years, I have not been able to solve the mystery on this ink cartridge. Now I give the ink cartridge to the commander, presumably With the Marshal's sky-high cultivation and knowledge, he will definitely be able to unlock the secrets inside the ink cartridge."

"Let me take a look first to see what's so special about it." Nie Zheng took the ink cartridge calmly, held it in front of his eyes and began to observe it carefully.

I saw that this "ink cartridge" was about the size of a fist, and it looked like a black cube. The whole body was as black as ink. Under the ray of sunlight outside the window, it exuded a faint glossy luster.

Obviously, the ink cartridge should always be held in the hands of people to study and play with, otherwise, its entire surface would not be so shiny and smooth, because Nie Zheng could clearly see that the corners of the ink cartridge had already been rubbed round. .

However, what surprised Nie Zheng the most was the material used to make the ink cartridge, which looked like iron but not iron, or jade but not jade, and it wasn't particularly heavy in the hand.

From the outside, it seems to be carved from a black stone, but Nie Zheng did not find a single gap or trace on the "cartridge".

Since it's called a "cartridge," it should be a square box.

However, no gaps or traces that can be opened were found on it, so it can be seen that it should be a real cube, and there should be no space inside.

But Nie Zheng had a vague feeling that this ink cartridge was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the outside.Since it can make Wu Xuanyin and Xue Tucheng value something, it must have a secret.

Nie Zheng patiently held the ink cartridge and kept turning it over to observe. He found that the upper and lower sides of the ink cartridge were engraved with some simple ripples and waves. Apart from this, there was no other special place.

After observing for a long time, Nie Zheng did not see why. Immediately, he slowly put down the ink cartridge, looked up at Wu Xuanyin who was standing in front of him, and said, "Sanren, what kind of secret is hidden in this ink cartridge? Make you value it so much?"

Wu Xuanyin shook her head, sighed softly, and said, "This ink cartridge was very important to me before, but it doesn't matter anymore."

Nie Zheng frowned, and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that?"

Wu Xuanyin took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know, I stole this thing from the Snake God Sect back then, mainly to cure my little girl's cold poison, and at the same time, I also wanted to restore my martial arts cultivation. But since we took the magic medicine that the commander gave us last time, both of us, father and daughter, have fully recovered, and now this ink cartridge is not particularly important to us, father and daughter."

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on, "I heard what Sanren said, it seems that as long as you can unlock the secret of this ink cartridge, you can recover your injuries and strength. What is the origin of this ink cartridge? Is it so amazing?"

Hearing this, Wu Xuanyin looked at Nie Zheng solemnly, and said in a deep voice, "Marshal, I wonder if you have heard the legend of the Dragon King of the South China Sea?"

"The Dragon King of the South China Sea?"

Nie Zheng shook his head and said, "Who is this person? Is he famous?"

Wu Xuanyin nodded, and said: "The Dragon King of the South China Sea was the most famous maritime hero in the South China Sea 500 years ago. Fleet: Dragon God Fleet! Back then, the Dragon King of the South China Sea led the Dragon God Fleet to sweep hundreds of tribal countries in the vicinity of Nanhai. The opponents of the Dragon King, as long as they heard the appearance of the Dragon King's fleet in the South China Sea, all the countries in the South Seas would turn pale and panic.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea dominated the South China Sea for decades, plundered countless gold and silver treasures, and established the most powerful force in the sea at that time.But later, the Dragon King of the South China Sea and his Dragon God Fleet suddenly disappeared from the world and never appeared in the South China Sea again, causing all the countries in the South China Sea to applaud and rejoice..."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng couldn't help asking curiously: "The Dragon King of the South China Sea suddenly disappeared from the world? Where did they go?"

Wu Xuanyin pondered for a moment, and said: "According to legend, the Dragon King of the South China Sea discovered a mysterious island in the depths of the sea. There is a huge and mysterious city on the island called the 'City of Immortality'. It is said that as long as anyone who enters that city Everyone will gain the mysterious power of immortality, and the Dragon King of the South China Sea led all the treasures and subordinates to occupy the 'City of Immortality', and never came out again."

Nie Zheng didn't really believe in the legend of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, but he was still a little curious about the ink cartridge in front of him.

"Could it be that this ink cartridge came out of the Immortal City and has something to do with the Dragon King of the South China Sea?"

Wu Xuanyin shook her head, and said: "This... I'm not very clear about this. It is rumored that as long as you find the ink cartridge and unlock the secrets in it, you can find the Immortal City hidden in the depths of the sea. It is said that in the Immortal City there is a A mysterious seven-color spiritual fruit, this spiritual fruit has the miraculous effect of curing all diseases and bringing the dead back to life, as long as we find the legendary seven-color spiritual fruit, the injuries of our father and daughter will be easily recovered."

Hearing this, Nie Zheng shook his head and smiled and said: "So you go to the doctor in a hurry. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you will try it at all costs. If I guessed correctly, you have done everything for you and your daughter these years. Injuries, I guess I have searched many ancient books and legends, and looking for dragon python blood eggs is one of them, right?"

Wu Xuanyin smiled in embarrassment, and said: "That's true, but the commander laughed. Since I haven't been able to break the secret on the ink cartridge, I gradually pinned my hopes on finding Long Mang, and later, It is to go to the ancient dragon pit with the commander in chief."

Regarding his answer, Nie Zheng also felt that it was reasonable, but Nie Zheng still had some doubts about the ink cartridge.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng picked up the ink cartridge, looked into Wu Xuanyin's eyes, and asked calmly, "I'm a little puzzled by one thing."

Wu Xuanyin's mind moved, and she hurriedly said, "Excuse me, Marshal."

Nie Zheng thought for a while, and said: "Since you have heard the legend of the ink cartridge, Xue Tucheng must also know about it. It stands to reason that this object is in the Snake God Sect, and it should be a treasured sacred object. After you steal the ink cartridge , Didn’t Blood Slaughter City send anyone to chase you down? Also, how did you know that there is an ink cartridge hidden in the Snake God Cult?”

Wu Xuanyin lowered her head and sighed softly: "The commander-in-chief doesn't know something. Sang Kang secretly told me the secret of the ink cartridge in order to lure me to open the big battle array. He also said that once the secret of the ink cartridge was solved, he would send a fleet of ships to help me go to sea. Looking for the Immortal City, because he knew very well that I would do anything for my daughter. In the end, Sang Kang, a despicable and shameless villain, lied to me. Instead of lending me the ink cartridge, he even sent someone to assassinate our father. female.

Fortunately, although I suffered internal injuries back then, my strength did not fade much, so I was able to escape the catastrophe. Later, I was very unwilling and learned that Xue Tucheng was practicing in seclusion, so I summoned a few helpers and sneaked into the snake god The main altar of the religion stole the ink cartridges.These years, the Snake God Sect has sent people to search for my whereabouts, but Feixue and I have been hiding in the dark, rarely showing up, and we have a strange formation to hide, the Snake God Sect wants to find us Father and daughter are not easy.Besides, Xue Tucheng became obsessed with his practice, so he couldn't leave Ten Thousand Snake Peak for too long. Therefore, no one can take the ink cartridge away from me. "

After learning the ins and outs of the whole incident, Nie Zheng suddenly realized, and thought to himself, so it is.

Suddenly, at this moment, Nie Zheng suddenly felt that the super chip hidden in his chest suddenly had an abnormal change, and a trace of warmth began to appear.

Nie Zheng's heart moved, and he secretly cast his eyes on the ink cartridge...
