Imperial Treasure

Chapter 456 - 310: Mystic Osteoderms, Dragon Vein_2

Perhaps it was this wildness that had transformed Mao Dafeng into what he had become.

This made Sui Yi very curious, naturally, she couldn’t hand over the object to Shen Que and others, so she hid it...

As for how she took it away, Shen Que only found out later.

"I recognize it, the old man once showed it to me, saying ordinary people shouldn’t touch it, it’s a disaster not a blessing, so he took it and hid it... How is it here though~~"

Old Lady Mao San said, then suddenly paused, instinctively asking, "Is it because of Dafeng that boy.."

"It is."

Sui Yi nodded, "I think he and Mao Yun were influenced by a heretical sect outside, intentionally returning to Mao Bamboo Mountain to find this object... It’s just that this object is sinister, and it made Mao Dafeng neither human nor ghost, but it seems that Mao Dafeng wasn’t afraid, instead, he was happy with the power he obtained from it..."

She didn’t say outright that Mao Dafeng had lost his humanity, devouring human flesh like a wild beast, but Old Lady Mao San, who had experienced great tragedies early in her life, had seen people consuming each other during times of great famine...

"This is fate’s misfortune... destined to be so~~ it’s just that the child ultimately took the wrong path." In Old Lady Mao San’s view, cannibalism is intolerable to heaven and earth, a grave sin, someday leading to the eighteenth level of Hell.

However, she hugged Xiao Dao closely in her arms, closely examining the osteoderm in front of her, which had faintly visible text and dragon patterns...

After looking for a while, she smiled bitterly, "I regret not listening to the old man back then, I truly don’t recognize what this object is, but I know it’s related to a small segment of the Dragon Vein in these mountains"

"Dragon Vein?" Sui Yi raised an eyebrow.

Picking up the osteoderm and examining it.

Indeed, there was a faint trace of a dragon’s vein on it.

"The old man said that Mao Bamboo Mountain is naturally lucky, open on all sides, with extremely good terrain. Historically, it was almost chosen by an emperor to summon many diviners to seek fortune and lead the Dragon Vein to build the Dragon Mausoleum here, but only a segment of the Dragon Vein was drawn before the emperor was betrayed, and the project was abandoned. However, this segment of the Dragon Vein still remains in the mountain..."

Old Lady Mao San was just repeating what Master Mao San had said, but she didn’t know the depth of it.

Dragon Veins, what treasures they were, related to the prosperity of the nation, and also a concentration of the heavenly and earthly energies. Books written by Loulan also mentioned Dragon Veins, but the methods to find them were too profound. Sui Yi guessed that Loulan himself was not very proficient in them due to their complexity and obscurity, thus she too understood little.

Only knowing they were formidable.

But what she uniquely knew,

Most Dragon Veins were not natural, but were man-made by powerful beings using various techniques and secret methods, consuming mental energy to consolidate the spirits of the mountains and forests to form a Dragon Vein. The amount of work could be large or small, but even the smallest was tremendous, and if not for the former emperor, there really weren’t many with such boldness.

However, if a Dragon Vein had been drawn, it meant that most of the spiritual luck within the mountains and forests would be drawn away and sealed.

A Dragon Vein is domineering; once it forms, the mountains and forests can only revert to the ordinary...

But the spiritual nature of Mao Bamboo Village was not weak, with clear mountains and beautiful waters... it was feared that the key object that sealed the Dragon Vein in those years had loosened...

Sui Yi looked towards the osteoderms in front of her, squinted her eyes, its edge seemed to have a notch~~ and Mao Bamboo Mountain had yet shown any great anomalies, the Dragon Vein likely had not been fully unsealed.

Thinking this, Sui Yi gently stroked the osteoderm, looked at Third Granny, without speaking, who already understood, stretched out a book, patted Sui Yi’s shoulder, her wrinkled face breaking into a smile.

"You have a fate with our Mao Bamboo Mountain, and with it too... I’m starting to understand what that old man meant when he left..."

Having said that, she took Xiao Dao and went to sleep in the house; it was too late, her old bones couldn’t handle it.

Master Mao San~~

Towards that person, Sui Yi always harbored a sense of inexplicable respect, whether it was his spirit of dedication to the nation or his proficiency in various skills.

"Is it fate... Fate, it is destined, my fate, how should it be..."

The moonlight outside the window was intoxicating, Sui Yi sighed softly, about to put away the osteoderm, when suddenly...

Moonlight fell upon its surface, silver veins pulsing like an infusion, the veins sprawling in all directions, resembling the body of a dragon, but among them was a faint energy crossing.

The geography and terrain of Mao Bamboo Mountain quickly flashed in her mind, connecting with these intersecting lines...

Couldn’t find it...

Too chaotic.

It seems that just moonlight alone is not sufficient, no wonder Mao Yun and his companion were at a loss... their backers probably also knew about the Dragon Vein, otherwise Mao Yun wouldn’t be so sure he would come here.

As for Wei Huan’s visit to Mao Bamboo Mountain, that must be the reason—

Wei Huan.. Wei Huan!

Jiang Chenyu!

Sui Yi suddenly remembered a place, her eyebrows furrowing again.

And again connecting it with Jiang Chenyu...

Thinking over, Sui Yi picked up the osteoderm, packed it into her small backpack, slung it on her back, and left Old Lady Mao San’s house quietly.

It wasn’t that she was too impatient, but she felt the moonlight was useful; moving at night was the best option. ——————

The dangerous and deadly valley where Jiang Chenyu was found was not unfamiliar to Sui Yi, using the moonlight and her memory, she moved through the woods and arrived at the base of the valley in about half an hour.

Coming again to the lake, she remembered the fox that was killed here as well, and that pool...

She glanced at it, then walked further in.

Only now did she realize that this mountain body was concave-shaped, with its inner walls sealed, with two stone stelae to the left and right, at first glance, resembling the grand and noble gates of a Dragon Tomb?

Only this grandiose project clearly belonged to a shoddy ancient construction.

Just didn’t know what Jiang Chenyu represented in it...

As Sui Yi was about to move forward, suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from behind.

It was as if time had rewound, she saw...(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to recommend tickets at QiDian (qidian.com), monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
