Merchant of the Underworld

The most ruthless emperor's family. After hearing this, I sighed deeply and asked in a low voice: "What are you looking for is actually your own tomb?"

"That was the tomb Liu Yi prepared for himself, but unexpectedly I took the first step."

Jiaoer replied sadly.

I nodded, took out the jade pendant that Li Mazi was wearing from my pocket, and continued to ask, "What does the Pisces jade pendant represent?"

Jiaoer took the jade pendant, and her originally cold face became full of nostalgia and longing.

"There are a pair of jade pendants. They were carved by Liu Yi himself. The one you took is mine, and the one I have here is his."

It turned out to be like this. No wonder Liu Yi would let Li Mazi go when he saw the sparkling jade pendant.

"The last question, that old man..."

"He is looking for death!"

Before I could finish speaking, Jiaoer gritted her teeth and said, "He is an evil man. He wanted to steal the treasures in the tomb and was killed by Liu Yi, but I have never been able to go back because the quicksand covered the tomb. "

I nodded and handed her the map I drew. Jiaoer saluted me and then handed me her jade pendant.

"The deal is done."

Jiaoer's figure disappeared, and only her ethereal voice floated in the air.

Jiaoer never asked about Liu Yi's situation from beginning to end. Obviously she also knew that Liu Yi had killed too many people and could not escape the blame.

Although I sympathize with Liu Yi's experience, the only way now is to get rid of him.

After returning to the hotel, I wrote down the things I could use on paper, and then asked Li Mazi to help me prepare things with the list.

"Oxygen bottles, respirators... Brother, you don't want to dive, do you?" Li Mazi asked.

"The death of Alimu's family is inseparable from the Lop Nur water monster. I vow to help their family get revenge. What's more, if we don't solve it, more people will die in the future, so I have no choice!" I replied.

"Yes, do you want me to accompany you?"

Li Mazi thought for a while and said seriously. Although he has no moral integrity, he also knows how to repay kindness. However, this diving operation is very dangerous, and it is useless for Li Mazi to follow me. I just told him to stay in the hotel when I go tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and Li Mazi went out early the next morning to purchase equipment for me, while I hid in the house and prepared the magic talisman.

Ordinary paper talismans will lose their effect when exposed to water. Just after being inspired by that veteran, I wanted to make a metal talisman myself.

It happened that among the funerary objects Li Mazi took out from the ancient tomb were some silver bracelets. I opened the secret book I got from the Demon Emperor of Fengdu, concentrated my spiritual power according to the above method, and forcibly used spiritual fire to melt the bracelets into silver water.

The silver thing cooled down very quickly. While I was heating it with spiritual fire, I prepared to bite my finger and drip the essence and blood on the carving knife.

After all the bracelets turned into silver water, I suddenly stopped my fire, quickly poured the silver water on a clean wall, and raised the knife with my right hand and quickly waved it.

With a sizzling sound, my essence and blood poured into the silver water at the moment it solidified!

After I dropped the knife, the silver water just solidified. I cleaned up the irregular lumps around it, and finally formed a small, square, palm-sized talisman.

I always thought that making silver charms was difficult, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly on my first try.

Liu Yi has been entrenched in Lop Nur for so long. It will definitely be difficult to deal with him. With the silver talisman, I think I will be much more relaxed.

Li Mazi came back in the afternoon and brought back a lot of things I needed. I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

At night, I carried my luggage and went to the shore alone, put on my diving suit, put on my oxygen bottle, and dived into Lop Nur.

The Yin Qi in the water is very strong, and it felt like entering an ice cave when I first entered. Fortunately, I put some cinnabar on the vital parts of my body in advance, which can effectively resist the erosion of Yin Qi.

Through the searchlight above my head, I tried hard to observe the bottom of the water, and found that there were no fish and even very few aquatic plants, only countless stones.

Even if there is no grass growing here, why are those corpses missing?

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly passed over my head. I looked up and was horrified to find a pair of big eyes staring at me.

I subconsciously leaned back, and at the same time, the monster opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards me.

Its teeth are like sharp knives, shining coldly in the muddy water!

Almost as soon as I got out of the way, it pounced towards me, and I just felt a 'bang' sound in my ears, like steel hitting each other.

Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise the blow just now would have broken my head. This made me more convinced of the idea of ​​luring it up, and swam towards the shore quickly.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yi was faster than me and caught up with him in an instant. I was forced to pull out my scimitar and fight back, but found that my scimitar was wrapped in a diving suit.

No, this time it really capsized in the gutter!

I cursed, took out the silver charm from my breast pocket, and slapped Liu Yi on the forehead desperately.

After taking the shot, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if I didn't ask for help, I would kill my opponent. At least it would give me a chance to survive, right? Unexpectedly, it didn't even stop and continued to rush over.

My heart was in my throat instantly, and I could only try my best to swim forward a little more, and swim a little further...

I calculated the distance between us, and thought that if it didn't work out, we would die together. Unexpectedly, Liu Yi did not attack me after catching up, but swam towards the shore more eagerly than me.

How is this going?

No matter what, I will definitely not be afraid of it when we get to the shore!

After I landed on the beach, I found Liu Yizheng lying on the sand. This was the first time I could see his whole face clearly. He had a human head and a snake body, and his chest was covered with thick scales. This was exactly the same as what was depicted on the reliefs in the ancient tombs.

It's just that at this moment, Liu Yizheng was twitching continuously, and the scales on his body continued to fall off his body. At the same time, his lower body gradually changed from a snake to a human shape.

No wonder it ran to the shore desperately. This kid was beaten back to its original shape by the silver charm, and it couldn't swim.

Many animals will turn into human forms when they become spiritual, but Liu Yi does the opposite. I really don’t know whether to sympathize with him or laugh at him?

I took off my diving suit, looked at the Eternal Spirit Ring, and shook my head silently.

Originally, I thought that if we really couldn't deal with it, I would ask Huo Qubing, a hussar general who was good at fighting in the desert, to take action, but now it seems that that is no longer necessary.

Liu Yi is finished.

I raised the Silver Moon Scimitar and prepared to give it a good blow, but then the Eternal Spirit Ring suddenly flashed.

How is this going?

I recited the incantation and entered the Eternal Spirit Ring with my mind, only to find that Huo Qubing's Yin spirit slowly opened his eyes from his deep sleep and said a touching sentence: Although he made mistakes, he is still of my Han bloodline!

As a big man, Huo Qubing still cares about the Han Dynasty even now. It is really admirable to sing and cry. Such loyalty is worthy of his heroic words, "How can we call home before the Xiongnu is destroyed?"

I followed Huo Qubing's advice and didn't attack Liu Yi again, but Liu Yi finally closed his eyes, and a drop of clear tear rolled down the corner of his eye.

Maybe it is unwilling to fail like this, maybe it is repenting for everything it has done?

I don’t know, I only know that the water in Lop Nur dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and countless bones were exposed at the bottom of the lake.

I sat cross-legged to pay tribute to Liu Yichao, and then returned to the hotel to prepare to go to the police station with Li Mazi the next day to explain the situation.

Unexpectedly, a powerful yin energy suddenly surged out of the room at night. Is it not dead yet?

I pulled out the Silver Moon Scimitar and made a defensive gesture, but I didn't expect that the person coming was Jiao'er, Queen of Loulan.

"He's gone?" Jiao'er looked at me and asked.

"Yeah!" I nodded.

Jiaoer smiled, and then cried again. This was not the ending she had been guarding for thousands of years, but no one could change it.

Gradually, Jiao'er's figure became blurred until she disappeared, and two crystal tears appeared where she was.

I hope that in the next life, two people can be together well and stay together for the rest of their lives.

Don't meet the right person at the wrong time again...

I collected the tears. The demon's tears are as rare as the shark's tears. This can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Out of respect for Jiaoer, I went to the ancient tomb again and sealed the entrance.

Let this tomb of love be buried under the yellow sand of Lop Nur forever!

We went to the police station the next day, and with the help of friends from the Public Security Department, we finally got rid of the suspicion. As for when the bones from the bottom of the lake will be salvaged, that is a matter for the police.

All I know is that Liu Yi and Jiao Er still haven’t let go of each other.

Maybe one day in the future I can see them joining hands through her tears!
