Chapter 30: Can't this kind of thing be done secretly?
"The carriage is also radiating cold air... What are these guys up to?" Tang Yuan murmured, his face full of suspicion.
However, since the people from Mingjian Manor had not invited him, he couldn't very well get involved.
When Yang Jiuli arrived at the Mingjian Mountain Villa convoy, the tents had already been set up.
He went inside, and Qin Jianhe opened the carriage door, releasing a blast of cold air.
The carriage was spacious, over sixteen feet long and about ten feet wide, with wooden barrels on both sides, each containing ice stones.
The golden nanmu coffin was placed in the middle, and there was still about a foot of space in front, behind, left, and right.
"Please!" The tent was already in place, and Qin Shisan gestured for them to enter.
Yang Jiuli bowed and then stepped onto the carriage.
Qin Shisan followed and stepped forward, standing to the left, and gestured to Yang Jiuli that he could proceed with the inspection.
Yang Jiuli nodded slightly and glanced at the coffin in front of him.
The coffin lid showed signs of having been opened.
As the letter suggests, the body of the Qin family patriarch should be well preserved.
After glancing at it, Yang Jiuli moved his hand, and a palm-sized incense burner fell from his sleeve.
At the same time, a bundle of sandalwood fell down.
He picked up a small table from the carriage and placed it in front of the coffin.
The incense burner is placed on the coffee table.
Yang Jiuli took out a tinderbox and three sticks of sandalwood, lit them, raised his hands above his head, and bowed respectfully.
"The Qin family has met with Elder Mei. Now the Great Wei royal family is eyeing us covetously, wanting to unify the martial world. Famous Sword Manor is in imminent danger."
"To protect the descendants of the Qin family!" Yang Jiuli said respectfully.
"So meticulous?" Qin Shisan, standing nearby, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, feeling a little apprehensive.
He forgot to offer incense when he opened the coffin earlier because of the urgency of the situation!
But this outsider is so polite.
This made Qin Shisan feel ashamed, and he thought to himself that his nephew Jiuli was a good child.
"To protect the Qin family's seven-hundred-year-old legacy and the lives of tens of thousands of people, this unfilial grandson, Qin Shisan, has no choice but to borrow your immortal body!"
Yang Jiuli continued speaking.
"I hope the patriarch will not blame me!" After saying that, he inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner.
"If this incense does not burn out in three breaths, then I will take it as your agreement!" After offering the incense, Yang Jiuli put his hands together and raised them above his head in a salute.
He closed his eyes, his face filled with piety.
Qin Shisan, who was standing next to him, was stunned after hearing this.
"Wait, so the unfilial grandson Qin Shisan had no choice but to borrow your immortal body? This brat prayed to the ancestor in my name?"
Slightly startled, Qin Shisan's eyelids twitched.
"Isn't it better to do this secretly? Can it be told out loud?" Qin Shisan looked at Yang Jiuli with a resentful expression and thought to himself.
Thank you!
He really wanted to grab the brat by the neck and tell him to stop spouting nonsense.
But soon, he thought of something else.
"It didn't go out for three breaths? Unless the incense got damp, how could it go out in just three breaths after being lit?"
Qin Shisan thought to himself, "This little guy... he's not being fair!"
"Old Yang has always been a law-abiding citizen, how come he raised such a son?"
He glanced at Yang Jiuli out of the corner of his eye with a strange look, as if he were seeing this young man for the first time.
Three breaths passed quickly.
The incense did not go out.
"Very good." Yang Jiuli nodded in satisfaction.
"It seems that Elder Mei also cares about the rise and fall of the family and is willing to continue to contribute to the inheritance of Mingjian Manor."
"In that case, Qin Shisan will be offended!" After saying that, Yang Jiuli carefully lifted the coffin lid, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"XX..." Qin Shisan's face turned pale and then red. He had seen shameless people before.
I've never seen such a shameless person.
It was clearly you who opened the coffin.
Qin Shisan has offended you!?
Qin Shisan was right there beside him!
However, since he needed someone's help, Qin Shisan couldn't make a statement.
The coffin was opened.
A fragrant aroma wafts out.
"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Jiuli nodded, then held his breath and looked into the coffin.
At first glance, one could see a white-haired man in the coffin, middle-aged in appearance, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples, exuding a heroic aura.
This was none other than Qin Jianmei, the patriarch of the Famous Sword Manor.
He lived to be 188 years old before passing away.
Logically speaking, he should be extremely old.
Little did anyone know what strange herbs and elixirs she had consumed that kept her youthful appearance.
"Nephew, how is it?" Qin Shisan asked somewhat nervously.
"The blood and qi are still there, it's feasible!" Yang Jiuli glanced at Qin Jianmei in the coffin and nodded slightly.
"Excellent!" Qin Shisan was overjoyed.
Yang Jiuli straightened up and said, "Uncle, please step aside."
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, my dear nephew!" Qin Shisan hesitated slightly, then bowed and said.
He knew that Yang Jiuli was about to use a secret technique and was afraid of being spied on, so he asked him to step back.
Qin Shisan stepped off the carriage and closed the door.
Yang Jiuli then looked into the coffin and, with a thought, sank into his sea of consciousness.
Within his sea of consciousness, the light patterns of the 'Past Life Talisman' intertwined, evolving into an identical talisman seed that flew out from between his eyebrows.
Under Yang Jiuli's control, the talisman was planted between Qin Jianmei's eyebrows inside the coffin.
The talismanic patterns intertwined, transforming into meridians that seeped into Qin Jianmei's entire body, bones, and blood.
A moment later, the talisman flashed and disappeared completely into Qin Jianmei's brow.
After doing all this, Yang Jiuli breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he focused his mind on the Three Lives Stone.
The seed for the 'Past Life Talisman' 1 has been planted and awaits activation. [The recipient is Yang Xiangru]
The second "Past Life Talisman" has been planted and awaits activation. [Recipient: Qin Jianmei]
The prototype of the "Past Life Talisman" (30/100)
"Next, we need to condense the third 'Past Life Talisman' into shape!" Yang Jiuli whispered.
The sooner he condenses a "Past Life Talisman", the more foundation he will have.
Otherwise, if any crisis were to suddenly arise once he entered the 'Black Abyss,' where would he find the time to condense the 'Past Life Talisman'?
Subsequently, Yang Jiuli's mind withdrew from his sea of consciousness.
"Uncle, you can come and inspect it now!" Yang Jiuli pushed open the carriage door and said to Qin Shisan.
"Is it ready?" Qin Shisan asked.
"Yes!" Yang Jiuli nodded.
Qin Shisan came up and checked the ancestor inside the coffin.
Seeing that the ancestor's immortal body was unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief and closed the coffin lid.
"Thank you for your help, my dear nephew!" Qin Shisan said, cupping his hands in greeting.
As he spoke, he gestured for Yang Jiuli to get out of the car.
"Of course! We have been friends for generations, like one family, so we should support each other!" Yang Jiuli bowed and said.
He then stepped down from the carriage.
Qin Shisan also stepped down from the carriage and asked, "Nephew, what should we do next?"
"I have exhausted a lot of my vital energy by using this secret technique, and I need to recuperate for a while," Yang Jiuli said. "I wonder if Uncle has any precious medicines with him?" Yang Jiuli had mentioned before that he asked Qin Shisan to try to find some medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years old.
"I brought it!" Qin Shisan said.
"Sword River!" he called out to the outside of the tent, "Bring me the old medicine from my manor!"
"Yes!" Qin Jianhe walked in from outside the tent, carrying a large cloth bag.
There was a table inside the tent.
Qin Jianhe opened the cloth bag, and inside were six jade boxes.
Each one contains medicine that is over a hundred years old.
