033. Strange things in Dayu Ridge, Lingnan

Zheng Mingxian sat upright and smiled and said, "You are Chengman's friend. He can trust you, so I can."

Lin Wu put away the pendant and asked, "What exactly is this pendant made of?"

When talking about this, Zheng Mingxian's expression was slightly condensed.

He said: "Three years ago, I went to Lingnan."

Lin Wu couldn't help but be stunned. Is it three years ago? Or Lingnan?

Zheng Mingxian said: "At that time, I listened to my father's words and went to Lingnan to find a rare raw stone. Fortunately, I was the treasure of the town meeting at the auction later. But when I arrived in Lingnan, I encountered something strange."

"Strange thing?"

"Well. I remember it was in Dayu Ridge, Lingnan, a place called Zhangjia Village. There were rumors that the raw stone I was looking for was there, but I asked all the local villagers, but no one had heard of the raw stone I was looking for. After many days of searching, I was going to leave and look for it somewhere else."

"However, on the night I was leaving, an expedition team came from the back mountain of Zhangjia Village and lived in the B&B where I lived. I was on the first floor at that time and saw that the team was soaked, all of them looked very pale, and they even scared the staff of the guesthouse."

Looking back, Zheng Mingxian frowned, as if he was a little palpitations.

He sighed, "I thought they were probably wandering around the mountains for a long time before finding them, so they were so embarrassed, so they didn't pay much attention and went back to their room to rest. But the next morning, the staff at the B&B found that they all disappeared."

"Vanish?" Lin Wu was stunned.

Zheng Mingxian nodded, "It's a very strange thing to disappear. The staff said that they were still seeing them in the first half of the night, but disappeared in the second half of the night. Moreover, the doors and windows in their rooms were locked inside, and their things were still there, so it was not necessarily their only ones."

Lin Wu's eyes fell on the pendant in her hand, and she asked, "What does that have to do with this pendant?"

Zheng Mingxian said in a gentle voice: "When the team arrived at the B&B at night, I sat on the first floor for dinner. I accidentally caught a glimpse of their backpack's zipper open when they checked out, revealing the things inside, and there was such a stone. Their backpacks looked heavy. In my experience, they were definitely filled with stones."

In other words, they all packed stones like backpacks at that time.

"The next day, when the staff said they were gone, I also went to take a look. Their things were there, but the stones were gone." Zheng Mingxian said.

Lin Wu frowned and questioned bluntly: "How can you be sure that the stone they brought is the material for my pendant?"

Zheng Mingxian laughed: "Miss Daosheng, don't you think this is a bit presumptuous for a person who is capable of gambling stones? I started learning gambling stones with my father since I was seven. When I was twenty, I had basically understood all kinds of stones in this world. If a rough stone I didn't know appeared, do you think I wouldn't take a few more glances?"

Lin Wu heard that too.

Zheng Mingxian said again: "So I asked them if they could read carefully at that time. It would be fine to offer a high price, but they immediately refused me, took the room number and went up. The next day, seeing that they were gone, I had no gains, so I left Zhangjia Village. Finally, I barely found a useful raw stone elsewhere, and I left Lingnan."

After a pause, Zheng Mingxian added: "I was thinking about this raw stone later. I had never seen it. I searched a lot of information privately. It was not until last year that I barely found it. This seemed to be a unique ore in a sinkhole deep in Dayu Ridge in Lingnan. The substance contained in it is not very good to the human body. Only then did I give up looking for it."

When Lin Wu heard this, his heart was shocked.

Sure enough, the radioactive elements that are extra in my grandfather’s body are caused by it!

Lin Wu asked: "If it is used to make peace talismans around you, what is the effect of not only being harmful to the human body?"

She always felt that Lin Shenghai would not ask Master Zhang to get a high price for the old man because of this.

There must be other functions.

Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "That's all I know."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Wu had no choice but to say.

Fortunately, knowing this information is also a breakthrough.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Wu stood up and said, "I will send that piece of jade to you when I go back and say goodbye."

Zheng Mingxian also stood up, nodded gently, and sent Lin Wu out.

Until Lin Wu's figure disappeared from sight, Uncle Huang finally couldn't help but walk to Zheng Mingxian quickly and said, "Young master, why do you have to tell her!"

Zheng Mingxian walked back and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank a sip to moisten his throat.

He said: "I checked Daosheng's pendant rough stone before. As I checked, I found that there was an unknown group of forces in Lingnan that were operating, which seemed to be targeting the Five Elements. However, the people sent were missing and the investigation had to be interrupted. However, not long ago, the people from Xuanmen also found an abnormality through a case and found it there."

As he said that, Zheng Mingxian's expression became a little calmer.

"For this matter, my father planned to watch, so as not to break the Shixing staff again. But the person chasing the Xuanmen was Cheng Man, how could I stand by and watch? What if Cheng Man continues to investigate, he will encounter danger?"

Uncle Huang sighed: "Master Cheng Tian is the lifeblood of Xuanmen, and he will be fine."

Zheng Mingxian shook his head: "Then I can't ignore Chengman. Moreover, we had always thought that this group of forces was only entrenched in Lingnan, but the pendant brought by Daosheng shows that its people had appeared in the North City long ago, but we didn't find it. If it weren't for Daosheng, maybe they wouldn't have found it later."

He looked up at Uncle Huang, "Uncle Huang, have you ever thought that this group of people can appear in the North City without knowing it, and can appear in other places in the Five Elements."

Uncle Huang's expression stagnated.

After a long time, Uncle Huang asked, "Then do you want to inform Master Cheng Tian about these things?"

Zheng Mingxian knocked on the table with thoughtful fingers.

After a moment, he shook his head, pressed his glasses with his fingertips, and said calmly: "Cheng Man has just started to check, and I guess he hasn't found too much, so there is no need to tell him. So he doesn't know that he has to go deeper into the investigation. Since Daosheng has started to check now, let's see how Daosheng will find it."

Uncle Huang couldn't help but say, "That Daosheng is a little girl! She... what can she find?"

Zheng Mingxian smiled, "Uncle Huang, don't underestimate people too much. Since Cheng Man praises her, it means that she is a very capable person."

"Can……"

"Okay, let's just stop talking about it."

Zheng Mingxian interrupted Uncle Huang and then stood up. He said in a relaxed tone: "After Daosheng sends Cheng Man's jade back, I will go back to Beijing to find Cheng Man and return the jade to him."

Uncle Huang couldn't help but say, "Why bother to get it back from Daosheng? Anyway, the jade was also carved by you. Wouldn't it be enough to carve another piece for Master Cheng Tian?"

"Different," Zheng Mingxian shook his head, "that piece is the first gift I gave to Cheng Man."

At the same time, Lin Wu, who had left the black market, suddenly received news from Bo Yuting.

[I have found the pendant you want to check.]

【The raw stone from a sinkhole in Dayuling, Lingnan is very dangerous, and few people can enter and come out safely, so the raw stone circulating on the market is very rare and the price is extremely expensive.】

[The last time it was more than half a month ago, Zhang Yuge, a famous master Zhang in Beicheng, sold three pendants made of raw stones. In addition to your grandfather, the other ones were bought by the Zhao family and Chen family in Beicheng, and they were also bought for their old men.]

[However, the old men of these two families passed away one after another shortly after receiving the pendant.]
