"Where is this place? Let me out!"

The man raised his head and shouted hoarsely.

This place seems to be the bottom of a huge pothole. The towering rock wall is about three or four feet long, and it is polished extremely smooth. Even if you want to climb up, you can't find a place to grab your hand.

At the bottom of the cave, there are six or seven men and women who are about the same age as him, all of whom just woke up from a coma like him, with dazed faces, not understanding why they are here.

"Brother..." Someone beside him called softly.

The man lowered his head.His younger sister was curled up at his feet, her face was pale, and she was trembling all over. It was obvious that she was ill again.

"It's okay, Xiaohuan, brother is here." The man picked up his sister and patted the girl's back lightly.

My younger sister has been suffering from chronic diseases since she was a child. In order to treat her illness, the whole family spent an unknown amount of money seeking medical advice.Just when the whole family was about to give up hope, they heard that an alchemist with supernatural powers had come to Jiangzhou.With the mentality of giving it a try, he took his sister all the way to Jiangzhou to meet the alchemist.

The alchemist warmly entertained them and cast a spell to exorcise Xiaohuan.Xiaohuan's health improved day by day, and the man also admired Fang Shi so much.Even though many people in Zhou said that the alchemist was weird, the man didn't take it seriously—they talked nonsense because they had never seen the great power of a divine master!

Yesterday, the man was about to take his sister back to his hometown, but he met a group of masked gangsters on the way.They didn't come to rob money, but knocked the man and sister unconscious together.When I woke up, I was at the bottom of this cave.

Several other men and women, the man also felt that their faces were familiar, and they seemed to be people who went to the alchemist to seek medical treatment.

Why should they be thrown into this place where every day shouldn't be done and the earth won't work?

The girl in her arms trembled more and more.Men are also getting more and more frightened.Didn't it mean that my sister's illness has been cured? Why did it suddenly become like this?

After such a long time, the man gradually felt hungry.There is neither water nor food at the bottom of the cave, so it can last for three or two days, but if you stay for a long time, won't you die of thirst and starvation?

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from above his head: "How do you feel?"

The man raised his head, and saw a thin and pale face protruding from the top of the cave, watching them below with interest.

"Master!" The man was overjoyed, "Are you here to save us? Thank you, Master!"

When other people saw the alchemist, they knelt down and kowtowed to their savior.

"Are you hungry?" the alchemist asked kindly.

The man rubbed his empty abdomen: "Yes, master, please help us up!"

The alchemist smiled slightly: "If you're hungry, just eat, why ask me."

"Eat?" The man looked around blankly, "But there is no food here..."

The alchemist raised his hand and pointed at the other people in the hole: "Aren't they all?"

The man's eyes widened, and he didn't understand what the alchemist meant for a while.

"Do you know about 'Gu'?" The alchemist said with a smile, "Put several kinds of poisonous insects into the urn, let them kill and devour each other, and the one that survives is the 'Gu'. I have seen seedlings in the Southland Human Gu masters can refine Gu with insects, and they can refine hundreds of Gu with different functions, which is very miraculous. But I am curious, what will happen if people refine Gu?"

"Using people to refine Gu?" The man repeated dully.

"Put several people in the same place, let them kill and devour each other, and what will happen to the one who survives in the end?" The alchemist laughed a few times, and his pale face disappeared from the ceiling of the cave.

The man panicked and shouted: "Master! Don't leave! Please let us go. I'll give you any money you want! Please..."

There was a scream of terror from across the pothole.A middle-aged man couldn't bear his hunger any longer, and he bit the arm of the woman beside him!The woman was bleeding profusely, and kept crying and begging for mercy, but the middle-aged man seemed to have never heard of it, staring at a pair of red eyes, sticking out his tongue to lick up the blood...

The man subconsciously hugged his younger sister tightly in his arms.They are going to eat their companions as food!No, he must protect his sister well, and never let those beasts hurt her!

"Master! Please!" he continued to shout, "I would like to do my best for you, please let us go! Master! Master of ignorance!"

"Brother, I'm hungry..." the girl in her arms raised her head and said weakly.

Her eyes were abnormally red like the man-eating middle-aged man.

The man's arm hurts.The younger sister bit him desperately.

Blood spurted out.

In the meeting room of Xingxing Video Headquarters. "Who is the Shaman King" director Jian Yidao is accepting the "criticism meeting" held against him.

"Director Jian, we trusted your ability to invite you to be the director of "Who is Shaman King." The CEO of Xunxing Video looked sad, "But look, how many times this show has happened since it started broadcasting?" An accident? Isn’t the lesson from the one-month suspension last time not enough?”

"You can't even protect the personal safety of the contestants. Who will dare to participate in this reality show in the future?" Another high-level executive of the star-seeking video was furious.

"Are the two little girls okay?" the CEO asked.

"It's not life-threatening, but I sprained my foot, and I'm out of the hospital now. But this is not an excuse to avoid responsibility!" The senior management glared at Jian Yi and said, "Director Jian, you have to give an explanation for so many accidents, right?"

Jian Yidao wants to cry but has no tears.When was he not fully prepared?But why do unexpected accidents happen every time?

This time to cooperate with the archaeological team, he also specially assigned two assistants to the twins group, just in case minors would have any accidents on the mountain.But how could he have thought that the two girls would fall into the robbery hole?Even sending them a hundred bodyguards can't prevent this kind of accident, right?

But Jian Yidao couldn't defend himself.He can only bear all the blame alone.

"It's my inability to work well." He said sadly, "In the future, I will take more complete protection measures for the players..."

"Is there a future?" The angry executive thumped the table, "I just stop watching this show!"

"Then our investor's money was wasted?" A representative of the investor took a look at the executives of Xunxing Video. stop?"

"You don't take human life seriously, do you?"

"It's just an accident. Didn't Director Jian also say that he will take more complete protection measures in the future?"

"But……"

The CEO raised his hand, stopping their argument.

"Although "Who is Shaman King" had an accident this time and was criticized by many public opinion, but surprisingly, the higher authorities did not ask us to stop broadcasting. It was just criticized. Do you know why? "

The crowd shook their heads.

The CEO picked up the remote control at hand, turned on the projection screen in the meeting room, and winked at the secretary next to him.

The secretary knowingly opened a video on the laptop.That was the evening news of Lujiang TV station.

The narration said: "...Wen Yiming, director of Lujiang City Cultural Relics Bureau, came to the hospital to condolences to Comrade Le Qinian who has made outstanding contributions to the protection of cultural relics, and awarded him a certificate of honor and a bonus."

In the picture, a middle-aged leader with a Mediterranean head above his head cordially holds the hand of Le Qinian, who is lying on the hospital bed with a dazed expression on his face.The secretary forced a certificate into Le Qinian's hands.The leader looked at the camera and waited for the photographer to take a picture.The bright flashing lights made Le Qinian unable to open his eyes, and could only maintain an embarrassed but polite smile.

The scene reminded everyone of the idol handshake meeting.

With everything on camera, Director Wen faced the reporter and talked eloquently: "Protecting cultural relics is the responsibility of every citizen. Cultural relics are the precious heritage left by our ancestors to our entire nation. Comrade Le Qinian discovered the ruins of the ancient tomb and reported it, so that the ancient tomb can be restored in time. Being protected and avoiding further damage... This awareness of protecting cultural relics is worth learning for each of us. As a star and a public figure, Comrade Le Qinian has a deep sense of social responsibility and uses his star effect to promote the protection of cultural relics. It is the power of role models... I believe that in the future, more people, especially young people, will be inspired to devote themselves to the work of cultural relics protection..."

The CEO of Xunxing turned to the participants: "The excavation of the ancient tomb has alarmed the leaders. Le Qinian, a positive example who has been rewarded, is like a protective umbrella. With him around, it is not easy for the higher authorities to directly order "Who is the Shaman King?" "Stop broadcasting. After all, it means that the big leaders of the cultural relics department are endorsing this program. We urgently issued a draft, and finally reversed the public opinion from '"Who is the Shaman King" contestant in distress" to ""Who is the Shaman King "Helping Archeology' on."

"I see. I understand." The representative of the investor nodded, "On the one hand, it is the credit for protecting the cultural relics, and on the other hand, it is the fault of the contestants who were in danger. The merits and demerits are equal."

The angry senior pouted. "But it's just this one time. In case of any accidents in the future, it won't be so easy to get away with it!"

Jian Yidao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and finally let go of his hanging heart.Great, the show won't go off the air and he won't be fired.

Looking at the young man in the hospital gown shaking hands with the leader in the video, he couldn't help feeling grateful.

Recalling the first time he met Le Qinian, he was still very surprised why this young man didn't act according to the script given by the program group, he simply didn't have the professional ethics of an artist.

Who would have thought that after such a short period of time, his impression of Le Qinian would be reversed 180 degrees.

"Then the next episode..." Jian Yidao said tentatively.

"That haunted house adventure project of yours is definitely not good!" The CEO frowned, "From the superior department to the general audience, to the competitors, everyone is staring at "Who is Shaman King", we can't make any mistakes! For the next episode, let's make some 'positive energy' plans!"

Jian Yidao pondered, how to have "positive energy" and safety?In fact, he felt quite safe during his trip to Bishui Town last time. Although he discovered an old case, it was really an accident.Not every town has that kind of wife-killing maniac.Such a travel plan, how about doing it again?

Coupled with some "positive energy" themes, such as... Approaching science?

"I have an idea, please listen to..." he said.

"Dear audience friends, I am Li Xiaowen, the reporter ahead! I am reporting back to the audience at the Daqiu Mountain archaeological excavation site! The joint archaeological team has opened the gate of the Daqiu Mountain Ancient Tomb the day before yesterday, and went down to investigate the tomb. The archaeological work has made a breakthrough According to the stone tablets unearthed in the tomb, experts can basically confirm that the owner of this ancient tomb is Emperor Yongwen Shenqian of the Yong Dynasty. The audience can see that the archaeologists behind me are cleaning up the cultural relics in the tomb in batches , register..."

Le Qinian leaned against the head of the hospital bed and yawned lazily.

The progress of the archeology of Emperor Yongwen's tomb was being broadcast on the TV. The reporters introduced the latest archaeological discoveries with emotion, while the host in the studio connected with experts to explain the history and background knowledge of the Yong Dynasty.

No matter which channel you switch to, it's almost always on the air.During this period of time, there was no sensational news in the society, and the major TV stations focused on the hot spot of Emperor Yongwen's tomb one after another.Coupled with the fact that Yan Can's donation of cultural relics was already a hot search, the news media simply made a big fuss about the archaeological excavation.

Le Qinian turned off the TV and lay back on the bed.

After passing out on Daqiu Mountain, the terrified Tang Yucheng immediately sent him to the hospital. Later, he felt that the hospital in the county was not up to standard, so he was transferred to the Second Hospital of Lujiang City overnight.

In fact, there is nothing serious about Le Qinian, it's just too much physical exertion, after a good night's sleep and a delicious meal, he will be back to normal.But Tang Yucheng didn't dare to neglect, he just asked him to stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation, and ordered a full set of health checks for him by the way.

So Le Qinian could only lie bored in the hospital.His physical strength was not so bad before, and it was no problem to deal with more than a dozen evil spirits in a row.For some reason, after coming to the modern age, he was so tired after only eliminating two resentful spirits, and he felt hungry at every turn, as if his physical strength and energy had been sucked away by some invisible thing...

But he neither invited a god nor was he possessed by a ghost, so who could suck his energy?

It can only be considered that modern people are too lack of exercise and all of them are sub-healthy.

Even though he was hospitalized, Le Qinian has not stopped in the past few days.First, the Bishui town government sent him a certificate of bravery and bravery with beating gongs and drums, and he had to lie on the hospital bed to meet with the leaders.Then the Cultural Relics Department of Lujiang City sent a pennant with beating gongs and drums, and he had to wear a hospital gown to accept interviews with reporters.

I have to be busy with business in the hospital, so I really don't have a rest at all!

This morning, Tang Yucheng came to visit his doctor.

"Nian Bao, you are number one again in this popularity vote. If you continue like this, you might be able to win the championship."

Tang Yucheng found a vase and placed the flowers on Le Qinian's bedside. "Then Chuanjue Entertainment might be going to die of anger, hahahaha..." Thinking of how Zhou Xin's ugly face would be distorted, Tang Yucheng's mood flew straight into the sky as if he was on a plane.

He laughed twice, and found that Le Qinian was staring out of the window with a serious face, as if he didn't hear him at all.

The manager couldn't help but wonder, Le Qinian always had a smile on his face, and he was always polite when he saw him, it was the first time for him to shake his face like this!So it turns out that a person like him can lose his temper?I just don't know how I offended him...

Tang Yucheng thought about it, and asked cautiously, "Are you angry because you only brought flowers but no fruit basket?"

Le Qinian turned to the manager with a blank expression: "What?"

Tang Yucheng's heart skipped a beat: It's over, this kid won't be seriously ill, right?Usually when food is mentioned, he will pounce on it like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten in 800 years, but now he has no interest in eating at all!Abnormal!

The results of the physical examination are fine, why is he so listless?

"Xiao Le, what's bothering you?" Tang Yucheng asked like a caring brother.

"Hmm..." Le Qinian pondered, "You don't even understand what I said."

"How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

"You have never experienced..."

When he said that, Tang Yucheng couldn't answer.

What is Le Qinian worrying about?Why do you say he didn't experience it so he didn't understand?

He, Tang Yucheng, has been in this industry for so many years, why hasn't he seen such a big storm?Is there anything he hasn't experienced?

After thinking carefully for a while, Tang Yucheng really found out something he hadn't experienced before.

That is to fall in love.

Since his mother was single, he silently shed tears for himself.

Could it be that Le Qinian is worrying about love?

Ah, that would make sense!Even a Taoist priest can't be completely heartless, can he?Rather, it would be strange for a young man of his age not to fall in love.Recently, Le Qinian met a lot of people, but who among them made him feel happy?

Qiu Li who was filming with him?By the way, I heard that the two of them were going to act in a kissing scene, but because Le Qinian couldn't perform well, they changed it along with the script.Could it be that since then, Le Qinian has had some thoughts about Qiu Li?Well, who doesn't like a beautiful big sister?

But don't just think about women.What if Le Qi Nian is...then what?The first thing Tang Yucheng suspected was Bai Sheng. He had the most contact with Le Qinian, and there might be some sparks between the two of them.Of course, the contestants who participated in the reality show with Le Qinian were also suspected.The guy Jun Xiuyan looked very energetic, he might be the type that Le Qinian likes.That foreigner is also quite handsome, even many female employees of Chenxi Media like him.And Zheng Zhaoyu... If it was really him, Tang Yucheng would be the first to disagree with this marriage!Interrupting Le Qinian's dog legs also prevents this kind of thing from happening!

Who else but them?Who else has Le Qinian come into contact with?

By the way, Yan Yu!

But it shouldn't be possible for Yan Yu, right?Who took the wrong medicine to provoke that lone star?Get rid of him first!

So Qiuli, Jun Xiuyan, Vincenzo and Bai Sheng are the most suspicious...

At this moment, Tang Yucheng felt that he had become a famous detective!

He didn't know that what Le Qinian was worried about had nothing to do with falling in love.

In the past few days in the hospital, Le Qinian has been thinking about the words Dongfang Changyue said before leaving.

——The ignorance of the evil man is not dead, his soul is sealed in the ground.

Wuming was originally a folk alchemist who was active in Jiangzhou for a generation. He was initially famous for hanging pots to help the world.It is said that he didn't charge a cent for treating people, and many people traveled thousands of miles to seek him. Therefore, Le Qinian, who first heard his name, thought he was a skilled medical expert.

But not long after, frequent disappearances occurred in Jiangzhou.After some investigation, I found out that Wuming was only attracting believers in the name of curing diseases and saving lives, but he was conducting unknown and terrifying experiments in private, such as locking living people underground so that they had to fight each other after being tortured by starvation. Human flesh is eaten, and finally refined into "human gu".

I don't know how many people were killed, Le Qinian still remembers the hellish scene he saw after he and his junior broke into the Gu refining pit...

Blood flowed everywhere, bones were piled high, all the corpses had been gnawed badly, and even the bones were covered with teeth marks.All that survived was a delirious man. His body was covered with scars from being torn and bitten, but his teeth were also stained with blood.He held a girl's head in his hands, showing an illusory smile, and while combing the girl's long hair with his fingers, he muttered to himself: "Xiaohuan, brother will protect you..."

After Wuming's evil deeds were exposed, Le Qinian tracked him down for a whole year, and finally found him in Luoxia Mountain.Practicing all kinds of evil methods in ignorance, he is already in the state of half human and half ghost.Le Qinian fought against him with the idea of ​​"the big deal will end together", but in the end...

When he opened his eyes again, he came to this era.

He checked the history of Emperor Yongwen's era on the Internet.If the ignorance is still alive, it will definitely continue to do evil, and it is impossible that there will be no records left.Since no relevant information could be found, Le Qinian could only think that he had died during the martial arts battle.

But I didn't expect that guy's "life force" to be so tenacious, his body was wiped out in ashes, and the spirit of the dead was still lingering. In the end, the junior brother and Francis joined forces to seal him.

It would be terrible if the archaeological team accidentally opened the sealed porcelain vase and set Wuming free.

"By the way, Brother Tang," Le Qinian turned to the agent, "Did the archaeological team find the porcelain vase I mentioned?"

"I mentioned it to Professor Gu, and he said that the relics are still being counted. Many porcelains have been unearthed from the tomb, and I don't know which one is the porcelain vase you mentioned." Tang Yucheng said, "But he promised that if the porcelain itself was It is sealed, and the archaeological team will definitely not open it easily, so as not to destroy the contents of the bottle. Even if you want to open it, you must first use the instrument for testing."

Le Qinian nodded, he believed that serious archaeologists would not open the cultural relics in the tomb casually.But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, if the porcelain bottle is accidentally broken...

After he is discharged from the hospital, contact Professor Gu to see which of the unearthed cultural relics is the porcelain vase that seals the soul of ignorance.At that time, if he thinks of a way to completely purify that guy's soul, everything should be fine.

Tang Yucheng saw that the young man's expression was slightly relaxed, and he patted his knee reassuringly: "You should take a good rest, treat it as a short vacation."

He gave some instructions, left the ward, and thought about how to investigate who Le Qinian was dating.Hire a private eye?Or talk to the kid frankly?If Le Qinian can give up the fantasy of "ghost daughter-in-law" and embrace a real woman (or man), it's too late for Tang Yucheng to cry with joy.What's more, Le Qinian is not following the idol route, so he doesn't need to hide his relationship to please his girlfriend fans, so it doesn't matter even if it is made public?

When going downstairs, he accidentally bumped into two people on the "list of suspects".

Jun Xiuyan and Vincenzo were holding a bouquet of flowers and were waiting for the elevator on the first floor of the inpatient building.

"Are you here to visit Xiao Le too? Today is really packed with guests!" Tang Yucheng greeted her with a malicious smile.

Jun Xiuyan remembered that the other party was Le Qinian's manager.But why did the agent look at him with such strange eyes, as if he had stomped his cabbage?

"Why did you two come empty-handed?" Tang Yucheng looked at the flowers in their arms and shook his head.

"Is it true that only smart people can see the flowers in my hand?" Vincenzo sarcastically asked.

"Xiao Le doesn't like flowers. You have to bring him something delicious. Come on." Tang Yucheng gave them a thumbs up, and Shi Shiran left the inpatient department.

I don't know which of the two of you is in Xiaole's eyes, Brother Tang, I can only help you here!

Jun Xiuyan and Vincenzo looked at each other.

"I'm giving him face by coming to visit him! He's so picky! If Grandpa hadn't ordered me to, I wouldn't even want to come!" Jun Xiuyan said, poking his neck.

Vincenzo was silent for a while, and asked: "Then why did you open the × group to search for nearby delicacies?"

Jun Xiuyan: "Can I eat it myself?!"

Ten minutes later, the two returned to the inpatient department building, one with a Kenx Kee paper bag in his hand, and the other with a Pizza box.

"Order fruit pizza!" snapped Vincenzo, "you wicked heretic!"

"Didn't you also want to buy durian-flavored wontons just now! Do you mean me?" Jun Xiuyan replied.

The two came cursing all the way to the outside of Le Qinian's ward. After entering the door, they saw the young man looking out of the window with a blank face.

Jun Xiuyan threw the pizza box directly onto his lap. "Here! Eat it!" He said angrily.

Le Qinian turned around and looked at the logo on the box: "Fellow Jun, the doctor said that I should eat lightly these days..."

Jun Xiuyan: "You can just eat the fruit on top. It's quite light. It's not as greasy as the Kenxki this guy bought!"

Vincenzo stared at him with horrified eyes, and said every word: "He can only eat tomato sauce."

Jun Xiuyan pretended not to hear, cleared his throat and said, "By the way, I have already told my cousin what you asked me to do last time. He will find a way for you. Don't worry."

"Thank you fellow Daoist Jun!" Le Qinian looked at Jun Xiuyan movedly.For him, this is one of the few good news during this period.

"From now on, we'll settle the matter!" Jun Xiuyan thought for a while, then slapped his thigh, "No! You saved me once again in the tomb, so I owe you again? Is this debt still unpaid? "

"Then can you do me another favor?" Le Qinian asked.

Boss Jun Xiuyan was not happy, but there was nothing he could do. He was always clear about right and wrong. A life-saving grace is a life-saving grace, and it must be repaid.

"Go ahead!"

"It's about the Xuanqing gossip mirror." Le Qinian recalled what General Dongfang said, "I think the gossip mirror in Emperor Yongwen's tomb is an imitation. Will the real Xuanqing gossip mirror be kept in the What about your family? After all, you are descendants of Jun Niyun."

Jun Xiuyan sneered: "If we have that kind of baby in our family, wouldn't I know? Even if I don't know, wouldn't grandpa know?"

"Can you ask Grandpa Ling again? Or ask someone else in your family? Maybe the Eight Diagrams Mirror fell into the hands of Bangzhi."

Jun Xiuyan originally wanted to say that even if there is such a treasure, it must be kept by the direct line, so how could it fall into the hands of the side branch.But he thought again, hundreds of years have passed since Jun Niyun's death, in such a long time, anything can happen, maybe some side branch took away the Xuanqing Eight Diagrams Mirror silently?

"Then... I'll just ask for you." He said with a straight face, "I'm leaving, I have classes in the afternoon, so I don't have time to chat with you!"

Le Qinian grinned, and cupped his hands at him: "Friend Jun Dao, walk slowly, I will see you off soon."

"I didn't expect you to be sent to me by a patient!" Jun Xiuyan got up and walked out of the ward, and said to Le Qinian on his back, "Get well soon! Without you, "Who is Shaman King" is impossible to watch!"

"...Are you polite?" Vincenzo asked coldly.

He said goodbye to Le Qinian, and went to the stairwell with Jun Xiuyan to wait for the elevator.When the elevator door opened, Jun Xiuyan walked in first, but Vincenzo hesitated.

"I forgot something in the ward. Go back," he said.

Jun Xiuyan curled his lips, and just as he left the elevator, Vincenzo pushed him back: "Don't wait for me, you go first, we are going on different paths anyway, goodbye."

After the elevator door closed, Vincent Zuoyuan returned to Le Qinian's ward.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the young man wolfing down the pizza into his mouth.

Seeing Vincenzo leaving and returning, Le Qinian immediately stopped what he was doing and swallowed a whole piece of pizza, choking so hard that tears almost spewed out.

"I just wanted to eat the fruit on top, but the pizza ran into my mouth for some reason..."

Vincenzo tried hard to suppress the urge to yell at "heresy", took a few deep breaths, and said, "I have something to ask you. But it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer."

Le Qinian instinctively felt that something was wrong.There is a question that I didn't ask just now, but left Jun Xiuyan alone and came back to ask. Is it some kind of private question that should not be heard by outsiders?

"You ask first, and I'll consider whether to answer." He said.

Vincenzo stared at him for a while, then asked in a low voice: "You are the elder brother of the Great Master Niyun——Prince Xu Xing, right?"

The author has something to say:
