"I remember!"
Song Jinyu excitedly called Yan Fei over. "Suo Li's symptoms are exactly the same as those of the king of Gu poisons in a Gu art secret manual I read many years ago. But there's an extra cyan line on her."
"That cyan line might be just for scaring people!" Many Gu poisons would add some surface symptoms to look scarier so that people couldn't discover the root of the Gu poison.
Seeing that she had some clues, Yan Fei asked, "Then how to remove the Gu poison?" This kind of Gu worm was not the common one in the Miao ethnic group. Otherwise, he, Yan Fei, would have recognized it at a glance.
"Last night, I listed a prescription."
"Other medicinal materials are easy to get, but only the millennium-old ancient jade is a tough nut to crack!" Song Jinyu looked out of the window distantly, her mind wandering.
"The millennium-old ancient jade is hard to find, but it's not that difficult to find in the pawnshop." Yan Fei didn't know why she was so entangled.
"It's not just an ordinary millennium-old ancient jade. It must be the jade cicada in the mouth of a millennium-old ancient corpse." Song Jinyu sighed. "An evil Gu poison needs an evil medicine to draw it out."
Yan Fei glanced at her, speechless.
"Jade was used to block the nine orifices." The jade cicada, also known as "the jade in the mouth", was the burial jade placed in the mouth of the deceased. The jade cicadas came in different shapes, such as jade cicadas, jade silkworms, jade fish, jade tubes, jade pigs, jade dogs, jade cows, and jade fish.
Seeing his confusion, Song Jinyu kindly explained, "After a person dies, it is usually believed that the mouth should not be empty. And people hope that the jade, with its hard texture and beautiful color, can protect the corpse from decay."
Yan Fei was stunned. "You mean..."
Giving him a look that said "you know", Song Jinyu was about to go out. "It's really a coincidence. I met a tomb raider last year."
"No! If you really dare to dig someone's tomb, Master will be so angry that he'll die!" Yan Fei was anxious. He believed that his junior sister really dared to go into the tomb.
"Come on... After I use it, I'll just return it!" She looked nonchalant and even eager to try.
Looking at the whistling arrow in her hand, Song Jinyu smiled. Recalling the accidental acquaintance with Ji Biluo, the tomb raiding master feared by everyone in the Jianghu last year, she couldn't help sighing, "There are opportunities everywhere in life!"
After she shot the whistling arrow, within half a day, she saw a wisp of multicolored smoke rising slowly in the northeast direction.
"Let's go! Senior brother..." She dragged Yan Fei with one hand and pinched his cheek with the other. "Why do you look so sad!"
Xiao Si, the disciple of Ji Biluo, was the first to hear the sound of the whistling arrow. He recognized it as the one made by his master himself. So, Ji Biluo appeared at dusk.
"I'm so unlucky! Why did I come to Liuzhou City for no reason?" He stamped his feet and roared on the mountain because there was a rule in the Jianghu. Once Ji Biluo's whistling arrow sounded, it meant that he owed a favor.
Now he had just discovered an ancient tomb and was about to go down to find out when he heard the call of the whistling arrow. Ji Biluo recalled that he had been tricked last year because of his carelessness and almost lost his life. He was saved by a passing girl. In order to repay her great kindness, he left the whistling arrow.
The girl didn't care, but Ji Biluo hoped that she would never use it. This whistling arrow was a promise that people in the Jianghu dreamed of. He, Ji Biluo, was the most powerful person in the whole tomb raiding world.
Now, a year later, the whistling arrow suddenly sounded. He had to go. If he didn't go, how could he continue to stay in the Jianghu? Although he didn't want to stay in the Jianghu anymore, after all, he was going to have a son soon.
Sighing, he squatted on the ground and scratched with a branch.
When Song Jinyu and Yan Fei arrived, she couldn't stop laughing. "Mr. Ji, what's going on?"
Ji Biluo couldn't see clearly with one eye, but his ears were very good. "My benefactor is here. I wonder what your orders are?" It was right to repay the favor.
"I dare not be called your benefactor. I just have something to ask you for help."
Then Song Jinyu selectively told Ji Biluo her request. When the other party heard that she wanted him to raid a tomb to find an ancient jade, it wasn't very difficult. But he told her the difficulty. "The original people are either dead or injured. There are not enough people in the tomb raiding business."
"It doesn't matter. I'll go down to the tomb with you."
Ji Biluo was shocked by the girl's heroic words. "You'll go down?"
"I've always wanted to go down and have a look. Now the opportunity is right in front of me. Mr. Ji, I'm at least half your disciple." Song Jinyu was well-prepared. She had to go down this time. Besides finding an ancient jade, she had other purposes.
Ji Biluo looked at her curiously. "Okay... But this is the last time I'll go down to the tomb."
Song Jinyu was puzzled. "You're the most powerful person in the industry. Why do you suddenly want to retire?" Ji Biluo told her embarrassedly that he had got married.
"A hero can't resist the temptation of a beauty..." As if thinking of something, she said again, "It's not my style to force others to do things with a favor. How about... "
"Let's make a deal!" Song Jinyu didn't believe that an old fox in the Jianghu would obediently follow her orders just because of a favor. To avoid any trouble, she made a deal with Ji Biluo.
If he helped her get the jade cicada, Song Jinyu would clear Ji Biluo's family's name. Let his unborn child have a clean family background.
This deal was very attractive. Ji Biluo knew that the girl didn't value the favor he owed her but was willing to make a deal. He knew that the girl's identity must be extraordinary.
Immediately, he told Song Jinyu the location of the ancient tomb he had detected. The two agreed to set off in three days. Yan Fei saw it clearly. His junior sister was really making a deal with the legendary tomb raiding master.
"Senior brother... I never do things without certainty." Afraid that Yan Fei would stop her, Song Jinyu tried to persuade him kindly. She hoped that Yan Fei could understand her painstaking efforts. "Suo Li is innocent. And since she had an accident in Liuzhou, my father and brother will be implicated."
"I'm the daughter of the Song family. I can't stand by and do nothing, either emotionally or rationally."
Hearing this, Yan Fei didn't stop her anymore. He just gently told her a few words and then went with Cheng Song to buy the things Ji Biluo had told them to buy.
Song Jinyu chose Yan Fei, Cheng Song, and Micui to go down to the tomb with her. Niaoniao would stay on the ground. If something went wrong, she would inform others in time. Ji Biluo also took his disciples Xiaosan and Xiaosi down with him. The plan was arranged very carefully. Song Jinyu clapped her hands in satisfaction and went to her father's study to tell them everything.
Unexpectedly, "I won't allow you to go!"
