Chapter 7
Gui Mian Cao? So this was actually the plant’s name. When Xiao Bei thought of the sinister face that was on the deceased’s chest, it really suited the name. However, what caused Xiao Bei to be surprised was the fact that Brother Liu unexpectedly had gone to Li Jiang’s ancient tomb before. Now, he started to wonder whether he was the only one that had encountered those things? “Generally speaking, these things should no longer be in existence ah!” Brother Liu closed his eyes and continued, “When I was your age, I was once involved with a team of archaeologists that had been into Li Jiang. Similar to you, it was my first time venturing into the tomb. It could be said that at that time, the situation was extremely dangerous. If it wasn’t because of ……āi……let’s not talk about this first. It’s better if I tell you guys about the Gui Mian Cao……” A team of archaeologists? Xiao Bei’s eyebrows rose but the heart-throbbing feeling was quickly suppressed and he continued to listen to Liu Xin’s explanation. “The seeds of this thing are from within the tomb and the creation of it could no longer be found. As for me, I had later managed to dig out information about it. This thing was originally used to punish people who have committed an enormous offense or fault. Once it bloomed and bore fruits, that would be the time when the criminal dies. Once this thing entered the human body through water, its growth is extremely fast. Around 10 plus hours and it would begin to sprout and the rest you guys can imagine. When the plant is growing in the body, the feeling is extremely painful. Hence, this kind of cruel penalty had probably lasted for an estimate of 10 years before it was removed. At that time, after we found and figured out what this thing was, we were astonis.h.i.+ngly shocked. Fortunately, someone was experienced and knowledgeable. A command was sent out to burn that thing.” Saying till here, traces of pained expression were visible on Liu Xin’s face. “This thing will cause people to painfully die but after that, the corpse will no longer be icy cold like the rest and would even unexpectedly be revived!”
There was no change in Yang Chen’s expression as he continued to stably hold onto the ginger soup. However, as for Xiao Bei, his hands started to slightly tremble. “Brother Liu, you, I think you should have seen this item.” With his shaky hand, Xiao Bei put his hands into his pocket and slowly took out the emerald green ancient jade that was half the size of a palm. Xiao Bei really could not hold back this urge of his. The archaeological team, Li Jiang, ancient tomb, and Liu Xin’s grieving expression. All of these caused Xiao Bei to connect them to the contents of that diary. If he did not remember wrongly, at that time, not everyone from the team was exterminated. There should be someone that managed to escape out alive. The moment Xiao Bei took out the ancient jade, Liu Xin abruptly stood up. His two eyes instantly turned red as if blood was about to ooze out of them! “This thing, how did it land in your hands?!” Liu Xin had completely lost control of himself and it was faintly visible that his hands were trembling non-stop. Due to the three sets of scars on his face, it caused his facial expression to seem particularly ferocious. “Do you know someone by the name of ‘Ye Mao’?” Xiao Bei did not answer but went to ask his question as he felt that he was getting close to the answer! Perhaps, he already had the answer in his heart. “In the past, my nickname when I was in this line of work was ——Ye——Mao——” Liu Xin could no longer support his body and he weakly fell back into his chair. His eyes contained pains brought from his past memories. The doubts in Xiao Bei’s heart were finally solved. Why did Brother Liu feel fear towards Li Jiang? Why did he search for information regarding that plant? All these questions were finally answered. This was because Liu Xin was that youngster in the diary. “I found a diary and a pile of skeletons below the altar. The records of that diary contained a huge secret.” Xiao Bei slowly narrated the contents of the diary which he had yet to tell them. The more Liu Xin listened, the pained expression on his face became worse. In the end, this tough man finally could not bear the pain and two trails of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes. “Uncle……Uncle……That is my Second Uncle ah! After I had escaped from that tomb, I went to dig for any information related to the purpose of the archaeological team’s expedition. I told myself that Second Uncle is an expert and will definitely not die. Though I actually knew he had already left, all these time I was afraid to admit it……Xiao Bei, did you bring back the diary? Quickly give it to me…….are there anymore written in the diary?……” Liu Xin was choked with emotion but when he suddenly thought of something, he raised his head and asked Xiao Bei. Though Xiao Bei could not bear to disappoint Liu Xin, he still helplessly shook his head. “Before I came out, I had already buried those pile of skeletons under the rubbles and as I deemed the dairy as part of the remnant, it too was buried together. At that time, there was not enough time and I had to rush. I did not manage to create a proper grave for it.” Xiao Bei was well aware and understood Liu Xin’s current painful feeling. He thought, if Brother Liu’s second uncle was changed to fatty or Yang Chen, he would also be the same. “Brother Liu, please calm down. I still have things that I must tell you and I believe you will want to hear it. Āi.” Currently, Xiao Bei felt bitter in his heart but he understood that there was still more important things that really required his attention. Second Uncle Liu’s remains were very fortunate as they had now been buried again. However, what about fatty? What about Xing Man Tian? As for now, their corpses and bones were not found. Fatty’s remains were even reduced to become the food for the tomb’s monsters. Xiao Bei suddenly recalled the melancholy words that were spoken by fatty at that time. “If you were to come across remains like these pile of bones, you must remember to help bury them and not let them be aired out in the open. See it as my last wish to an acquaintance.” “Because, maybe, I might be the next one.” Xiao Bei did not know how he should comfort others as he couldn’t even help himself. As for now, his heart was stirred with the unwillingness of not wanting to face certain things. He abruptly stood up and ran to the basin. After twisting the tap open, Xiao Bei repeatedly splashed water onto his face. Property of © Fantasy-Books.live; outside of it, it is stolen. Listening to the huā huā sound of rus.h.i.+ng water, Xiao Bei had already burst into tears. The story, be it personal or from others, everyone should have a bitter experience before. These types of pain and suffering were deeply buried in the heart and sometimes it would be painfully suffocating. However, once those emotions were triggered, the feeling would greatly be intensified which could even cause one to drown within. However, he knew that he could not stop to live a better life and allow the people in the sky to smile with relief. Moreover, there were still people that were close to him. The relations.h.i.+p among brothers, when compared to love, it would be much higher. Liu Xin, after all, was someone with much more experience. So, he very quickly recovered his demeanor. He lightly walked to Xiao Bei’s side and gave a towel to him. “Brother Liu” “Enough, you are a man ah. Broken teeth have to be swallowed into your stomach. Even when the suffocating feeling in your heart had been resolved, you still have to be strong. How can we be beaten down by such little things.” “Èn!” Xiao Bei nodded. “Oh, that’s right. Brother Liu, my following words may sound very agitative, but I believe you will be able to wisely consider and a.n.a.lyze what I will soon say better than myself.” “I also got something to tell you guys later. It is regarding the things I had been doing midway. I’m sorry, I just lost my self-control now.” Liu Xin patted Xiao Bei’s shoulder and no longer spoke as he waited for Xiao Bei to continue what he was saying. “I suspect that everything was premeditated and I believe it is much bigger than I imagine. They had long antic.i.p.ated a large group of people to enter and we are just a chess piece. Also, as our time gap is very huge, I really cannot imagine which divine beings would have the ability to toy with us within their palms!”
