Chapter 222: Chapter 219: A Way to Deal with the Evil God

After breakfast, Chu Yan got up to clean up.

Qin Zhao planned to return to his room to rest for a while, then he received a call from Shangguan Qiu.

"That tomb robber, Old Li, today he had the police contact my uncle, saying he could take us into the tomb, and he has a way to avoid the Evil God’s curse."

Qin Zhao asked in surprise, "Didn’t he just tell me not to go yesterday?"

"Yeah, I don’t understand why he suddenly changed his mind either."

"Even if we could avoid the Evil God’s curse, isn’t he afraid that thing has been let out?"

"I can’t figure it out, why don’t you come to the police station and ask him in person?"

"Okay, I’ll come over in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Zhao went to the police station.

Shangguan Qiu and Shangguan Jing had already arrived at the police station, and the police brought Old Li into the interrogation room.

"How can we avoid the Evil God’s curse?"

Shangguan Jing directly questioned Old Li.

Yesterday, Qin Zhao helped the members of the archaeological team expel the Evil Energy, and their poison sores hadn’t recurred temporarily, but it was unclear if they would reappear later.

"Just bring a bag of flour. The first time I entered the tomb, I didn’t take out the burial goods, which is why I went in again last time. I brought a bag of flour with me that time. That thing seems to like eating flour a lot. Just scatter the flour, and it’ll stay there and eat, not attacking humans."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao pondered carefully for a while.

"From what you said, did you see what the Evil God looks like?"

"It was wrapped in black mist, skin bright red, eyes like copper bells; I didn’t see anything else clearly. The fog emanating from the Evil God is poisonous, it spreads into the air making anyone who breathes it in develop poison sores.

But, getting poison sores is not a big deal, we can use flour to apply to the sores, and they’ll heal up right away."

"Yesterday, you were telling me not to go to the tomb, why are you willing to take us there today?"

Old Li became hesitant, and after a long while, he said, "I have an heirloom treasure left inside, that thing is very important to me, I hope you can help me retrieve it."

"We still don’t know if what you’re saying is true or false, we need to consider it for a while."

Shangguan Jing gave Old Li a cold look, then the three of them left the interrogation room first.

They stood at the door, Shangguan Qiu asked, "Qin Zhao, are you planning to go in?"

"The medicinal herb I’m looking for is very important, I must make a trip. If we run into the so-called Evil God, we might resolve that too. However, we can’t fully trust what Old Li says."

Old Li was so scared yesterday, and today he’s suddenly proposing to enter the tomb, it would be strange if there were no ulterior motives.

Treasures handed down through generations are important, but are they more important than one’s life?

As for Shangguan Jing, he hadn’t said whether he wanted to go to the tomb, after all, their previous visit resulted in heavy losses with many teammates getting injured.

Old Li couldn’t be completely trusted either, so he was still hesitating.

At that moment, Shangguan Jing received a call from the hospital.

After listening to the other party, his complexion changed, "The poison sores on those people have recurred."

"What! Let’s hurry over and check!"

Shangguan Qiu and Qin Zhao exchanged a serious look in their eyes.

Could it really be that only Old Li’s method can deal with these poison sores?

They quickly drove to the hospital.

"By the way, I just remembered something."

Shangguan Qiu was driving while Shangguan Jing suddenly spoke up.

"What is it?"

"When we were preparing to evacuate, we picked up some gold in the passage."

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Gold?"

"Yes." Shangguan Jing took something out of his pocket, button-sized pieces of gold, some a little larger, possibly as big as a fingernail, in total about four or five.

"They were all picked up from the tomb’s passage. Just after discovering these, a teammate fainted."

Qin Zhao took the gold and looked at it carefully.

Her Qi Observation Technique was formidable, and she immediately saw a faint layer of blood light enveloping the gold, which clearly was not any ordinary object.

Shangguan Jing went on, "I just feel there’s something sinister about this gold."

"If there’s a lot of gold inside the tomb, could Old Li have gone there for this reason? Along the way he brought us, he might also find an opportunity to escape."

"Possibly, but should we let him take us?"

"I’m definitely going, you can consider it a bit more. He won’t be able to run away if he’s with me."

Shangguan Jing sighed deeply, "Let’s first see how the archaeological team members are doing. If their poisonous sores are incurable, I’ll have to go to the tomb too, maybe I can find a solution."

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

Seeing the most severely affected patient, one could see that the place on his back where the poisonous sore was cut out had grown a new one. That patch of skin was full of blood and flesh, horribly disconcerting.

"Mr. Shangguan, try the method you mentioned last time!"

The patient clutched Shangguan Jing’s hand, speaking with difficulty.

This poisonous sore was truly torturing him, because it was very itchy and painful, but he couldn’t scratch it.

"Alright, let’s give it a try."

Seeing his painful expression, Shangguan Jing couldn’t help but be moved.

He asked Shangguan Qiu to buy a bag of flour, then applied a little on the patient’s arm first, where the poisonous sores were fewer and the wounds lighter.

In just a few minutes, they all witnessed an extremely miraculous scene.

The sores under the flour rose, gradually flattened, and then the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Did it really work? It seems Old Li didn’t lie!"

Shangguan Jing couldn’t help but be excited, hurriedly applying flour to other wounds.

Before long, the patient’s sores had greatly reduced, and Shangguan Jing was overjoyed to the point of tears.

"It’s good that it works! It’s good that it works!"

Injured team members gradually began to recover, and Shangguan Jing no longer planned to go to the tomb. Because he did not know if other dangers would be encountered again, and the last time it nearly led to their annihilation, which left him with a significant trauma.

"Then I’ll go. I’ll bring Old Li back when the time comes, won’t let him escape."

Qin Zhao stood at the door of the ward and said to Shangguan Jing.

"I’ll go with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Qiu indicated she wanted to join her.

"I feel I need more experience, so I want to go with you to see."

Actually, after Shangguan Jing finished speaking, Shangguan Qiu was quite intrigued by the Evil God.

Shangguan Jing looked at the two of them. He didn’t interfere much with Shangguan Qiu’s decisions and could only say, "Then be careful, I’ll give you something for self-preservation."

"Mr. Shangguan."

Not far away, two students from Imperial University approached.

"Ye Qian? Why are you here again?"

The two students, a male and a female, the male named Kang Xingkuan and the female Ye Qian, were both students of Shangguan Jing, and since they were good students, Shangguan Jing liked them quite a bit.

After the archaeological team members were injured, they also often came to visit.
