That night, Shen Nanyi successfully obtained the half of the parchment scroll that the Wang family had collected and hidden in the bank safe.
After Mu Qizhou wiped off the ink words on the engagement book, the other half of the needle-embroidery pattern was revealed, which fit together perfectly with the Shen family's half.
"Look, do these look like two mountains?" Shen Nanyi pointed at the parchment scroll with his pale fingers: "The round thing in the middle is the sun?"
Mu Qizhou frowned and pointed at another spot in the picture: "What about this one? There is a sun under this wave?"
Shen Nanyi thought for a moment and said, "As for reflections, you see the moon also has a reflection in the water, so it's not surprising that the sun has a reflection in the sea."
"What does that little bit of red between the two suns mean?" Mu Qizhou asked again.
Shen Nanyi spread his hands: "I don't understand."
Mu Qizhou shook his head, unable to figure out what the picture meant.
He said helplessly: "It's just simple scribbles, very abstract, like it was written in a hurry, there's really no way to confirm the longitude and latitude."
Shen Nanyi lowered his head in disappointment and lay on the desk: "Yes."
"Don't lose heart, at least we have a complete map now, and we are one step closer to finding Fuso."
Mu Qizhou touched her head and comforted her softly.
"Azhou, you are so warm-hearted."
Shen Nanyi placed his hand on the back of his hand, tapped his fingers lightly, and pressed it against his face.
The warmth from the palm of his hand penetrated his cheek, and a warm current lingered in his heart, preventing Shen Nanyi from being too depressed.
"It's too late, time to go to bed." He stroked her porcelain-white face, unable to let go.
Shen Nanyi looked up in a trance: "Ah? But I still want to go to the corpse cave."
"Tonight?" Mu Qizhou twisted his brows with his slender fingers, slightly dissatisfied: "Shen Nanyi, you can't keep working like this."
She is always like this. Once she devotes herself to something, she will forget about food and sleep, which makes people worry about her.
"Although Shen Cishan seems to have surrendered to me, there is no guarantee that he will not secretly inform the Gu-making master in the corpse-hiding cave. If I don't strike while the iron is hot, what should I do if they make another batch of Gu worms and put them in the medicine?" Shen Nanyiyi still felt uneasy.
Mu Qizhou said: "I'll go, you take a good rest."
"No, this person's Gu refining technique seems familiar to me. I think he must be a descendant of Gu Yue. I have to clean up the mess."
The first time she saw the poisonous insect dissolve into blood, she guessed that this person must be related to Gu Yue.
But at that time, the only one who knew witchcraft was the great wizard Gu Yue, and his two disciples only knew the basics. Could they be the descendants of Tianying and Tianfu?
However, the descendants of Tianying are managed by the Mu family and have never heard that their ancestors passed down witchcraft and poison-making.
Could it be the descendant of Tianfu?
"Don't think about it. I'll go with you and we'll know for sure."
Seeing that she was frowning and looked troubled, Mu Qizhou decided to accompany her for a walk.
The abandoned mine in Yongxing Kuoliao Mountain was some distance away from here. The two used their magical powers and arrived there in a moment.
There are rolling green hills everywhere, like a giant beast with ferocious claws and fangs in the dark night, and the crescent moon is like a ghostly eye, following you closely.
Shen Nanyiyi and Mu Qizhuo landed at the entrance of the mine and gasped.
A huge stench of corpse hit my nose, like rotten fish that has been exposed to the sun for years and then piled on top of layers of stinky tofu, it was disgusting.
Shen Nanyi couldn't help but take out a tissue and blocked his nostrils.
She motioned for Mu Qizhou to block it as well, and Mu Qizhou smiled and shook his head:
"If we're all blocked, we won't be able to smell each other. Just follow me."
He took Shen Nanyi's hand and sneaked into the mine.
The two men were afraid of alerting the enemy, so they walked in the dark. Fortunately, divine power gave them a pair of eyes with night vision, so they could move forward without hindrance.
Shen Nanyi found that the walls on both sides were wet and covered with moss. The further he went in, the louder the sound of flowing water became.
"There seems to be an underground river here." Shen Nanyi lowered his voice.
"To put it simply, the Gu worm is a kind of bacteria that easily breeds in a damp, dark environment. The conditions here are indeed unique."
Mu Qizhou walked to the edge of a wall, where many bright red mushrooms grew in the corner, glowing faintly.
The red dots twinkle in the dark night, eerie and mysterious.
Shen Nanyi took a closer look and frowned even deeper:
"This is a blood mushroom. It needs to be refined on the blood of a boy. Only one in ten thousand can be found. There are so many here. This person is so evil!"
"What are the blood mushrooms used for?" Mu Qizhou didn't know much about poisonous insects.
"It is made from the blood of a boy, so it is naturally used to help with cultivation. If taken by ordinary people, it will also have the effect of prolonging life. But this technique is too evil, and this person deserves death. So many blood mushrooms have killed so many innocent children."
"Looking at this scale, it is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time. It seems that he has been lurking in this mine to refine Gu for a long time."
Mu Qizhou glanced at Shen Nanyiyi. This was obviously different from what Shen Cishan said.
Going further in, it's like hell on earth.
Both sides of the passage were filled with rotten and smelly corpses. Many of the corpses were so old that they were almost dried out. Some of the corpses were covered with dense black insects, and even the human form could not be seen. It was really creepy.
Although his nostrils were blocked tightly, the suffocating stench still seeped into Shen Nanyiyi's nostrils, making his internal organs churn.
She tried her best to force herself to suppress the urge to vomit, holding Mu Qizhuo's hand and continued to move forward.
Because of these corpses, the passage seemed even narrower. Shen Nanyi tried to walk with his chest shrunk as much as possible to avoid contact with the poisonous insects on the corpses.
Looking at the corpse forests on both sides, the scale of the mine indicates that it has been used to refine Gu for at least several decades.
"Could it be that that bastard cheated me?" Shen Nanyi's heart was pounding.
Shen Cishan just said that Wang Ruhai asked him for it some years ago. Either he lied or he didn't know much about it.
Mu Qizhou squeezed her palm and signaled her to be quiet.
Not far away, there were faint voices, as if someone was talking.
The two looked at each other. Is there more than one person here?
Mu Qizhou motioned her to be quiet, quietly bent down, and moved along the wall; Shen Nanyi followed.
When they got closer to where the sound came from, they looked closely and found that it was a man-made cave.
The entrance to the cave was wide open, without even a curtain. Through the faint light from a few oil lamps burning on the walls, they could see the people inside.
It was Wang Ruhai, and there was also a middle-aged man with a hunched back.
"Master, we need to hurry up and get the next batch of Gu worms. Our orders are already fully booked."
"Don't worry, in two days, the new Gu worm will be ready."
Wang Ruhai was obviously not satisfied with this answer: "It will take another two days? How can this be possible? My pharmaceutical factory is working day and night, just waiting for your Gu worm to arrive. Aren't you leaving me with nothing?"
The middle-aged man was obviously displeased: "Refining Gu is a delicate job, do you think it's just a mosquito or fly you catch on the roadside?"
"What's your attitude? I'm also working for my master."
"It's nothing, we all work for the master, why do you have to put on airs in front of me?"
"Feng Zhi, what are you talking about? I am also doing this for the greater good."
Feng Zhi? Shen Nanyi's heart moved slightly.
This name always seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it for the moment.
"The overall situation? Haha, you are not worthy of mentioning these two words." The man named Feng Chi was obviously disdainful.
Wang Ruhai was frustrated, but he didn't seem to dare to offend him: "Forget it, I won't be angry with you. Last time you said you would help my son refine medicine to restore his penis strength. Have you made any progress?"
The man named Feng Zhi took a porcelain bottle from the niche and handed it to him.
"Take it for seven consecutive days and you will be back to full health." Feng Zhi's voice was emotionless.
Wang Ruhai took it excitedly and thanked him repeatedly:
"The only child of my Wang family is finally saved!"
