When Tang Li found Butler Yang, she saw a little girl with disheveled hair and a black aura floating in front of Butler Yang, strangling him.
The little girl looked to be only four or five years old. Compared to Butler Yang, she looked especially petite. However, when she strangled Butler Yang, he could not move at all. His face turned purple from lack of oxygen.
Tang Li shouted, “Let go of him.”
The little girl tilted her head to look at her.
In the next moment, her eyes started to spin.
“You want to bewitch me with a spell?” As Tang Li spoke, she quickly drew in the air with her finger. Soon, a talisman appeared in front of her. She flicked it towards the little girl.
The girl was immediately sent flying a few meters away.
Tang Li quickly walked up to Butler Yang and reached out to pull him up from the ground. She asked, “Butler Yang, are you alright?”
Butler Yang covered his neck and coughed a few times before he recovered a little.
When he recovered, he quickly said to Tang Li, “Madam, she’s my sister. Please don’t hurt her.”
“Your sister?” Tang Li looked at the little girl who was pinned down by her talisman and walked over.
Butler Yang quickly followed.
After the two of them stood in front of the little girl who was restricted by the talisman, Tang Li asked, “What did you see just now?”
Butler Yang took a deep breath, unable to suppress his strong killing intent. “After they took my sister away, they threw her into a deep valley filled with bones. In that deep valley, there were not only bones of humans and animals, but also various poisonous insects, snakes, rats, and ghosts.
Her sister was still so young and was almost scared to death several times. However, because of her special physical condition, they would bring her back to their territory and cast a spell on her. This way, her sister would not die even if she wanted to.
She lived in this situation for five years. During these five years, she slowly sealed her consciousness. However, her body was corrupted by powerful evil spirits gathered over time.
“The evil spirit corroded her consciousness and turned it partially black.”
When Butler Yang said this, although he tried his best to control his emotions, his voice was still trembling. In the end, he really couldn’t hold it anymore. He covered his eyes with one hand and started sobbing.
It was obvious that he could not accept the fact that his sister had suffered so much.
Tang Li looked at the little girl, who was baring her teeth at them, and thought about how to bring her out.
After a while, she said to Butler Yang, “If I wake your sister up, there are three choices. First, I’ll erase the part of her memory after she was taken away. Otherwise, she will completely turn evil when she goes out. At that time, she will attack everyone indiscriminately. Second, let her turn evil so that she can forget the pain. Third, erase everything in her consciousness.”
Butler Yang gave the choice without thinking. “Erase her painful memory.”
“That’s not safe,” Tang Li said, “Her consciousness has already been divided into two parts, cowardice and darkness. If she goes back to the memories before she was taken away, she might not be able to withstand any stimulation. If she is stimulated, the darkness will erupt. At that time, she will attack everyone.”
“Then… what’s the consequence of erasing all her memories?”
“Her body has been controlled for more than twenty years. If it is removed, she will become very scared and timid. You have to be prepared to take care of her for the rest of her life.”
Butler Yang nodded and said, “I never planned to marry and have children. It’s not a bad idea to spend the rest of my life with my sister.”
Before he found his sister, he planned to be single for the rest of his life.
Now that Tang Li said so, he was even more certain about this.
He wanted to take good care of his sister for the rest of his life.
Tang Li tilted her head to look at Butler Yang. Seeing the determination in his eyes, she nodded. “Alright, I’ll erase her memory when we get out.”
With that, she quickly drew in the air with her finger.
After another talisman, the body of the little girl slowly turned transparent.
At the same time, Tang Li and Butler Yang returned to reality.
Tang Li moved and her body fell into a familiar embrace.
At the same time, a man’s low voice was heard. “Li, are you back?”
Tang Li looked up at him. Seeing the worry and anxiety in his eyes, she could not help but raise her hand to touch his cheek.
Qi Yihan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the masters’ voices were heard. They were obviously relieved.
“Master Tang, you’re finally out.”
“It’s good that you’re out.”
“Master Tang is indeed Master Tang. I believe you can also bring us out of here.”
Hearing that, Tang Li looked around. When she saw that the house had collapsed and there was no light, she asked, “What happened?”
Xu Guanhai told her what had happened.
Qi Yihan also told her what the old woman said at the end.
Tang Li frowned but did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Butler Yang and his sister.
When Butler Yang saw her looking over, he quickly asked, “Madam, what about my sister?”
Tang Li said, “Now is not the time to erase her memory. We have to wait until we get out.”
Butler Yang knew that it was useless to be anxious and nodded.
Only then did Tang Li take out an instrument that looked like a compass but was different from a compass.
She quickly drew on it with her finger. After a flash of silver light, the needle on the compass started spinning quickly.
The masters held their breaths and looked at the thing in her hand.
After nearly half a minute, the needle stopped.
Tang Li said, “We’re in the northwest, probably around the Qinling Mountains.”
“Ah!”
They were extremely surprised.
“Master Tang, you mean we’re in the mountains?”
“Sort of.”
After saying that, Tang Li asked them, “Where are the townspeople?”
“We gathered them in one place. The townspeople were panicking. After we gathered them, we used an immobilization talisman to freeze them there.”
Tang Li nodded and asked, “Have you checked the terrain outside the town?”
“Not yet, we came straight to look for you.”
Tang Li nodded again. Then, she took out some tools that they could use from the bag. “Take these. Later, we’ll split up and take a look at places outside the town. Whether we can find where this is or not, we’ll gather here in five hours.”
The few of them agreed and took what they needed. After discussing for a while, the four of them planned to split up into two groups.
Then, they looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li said, “I’ll go with Yihan. We’ll split into three groups heading towards three different directions.”
Butler Yang quickly asked, “Madam, what about me?”
Qiqi and Linlin quickly asked, “Godmother, what about us?”
“Stay here,” Tang Li said to Butler Yang. “I’ll use mystic techniques to protect this town later. You just have to watch over the townspeople.”
Butler Yang knew that he could not help at all at a time like this, so he nodded.
Tang Li looked at the Kylins. “Come with us.”
“Yes, Godmother.”
After discussing it, they walked out of the town.
After separating from the four masters, Tang Li got the Kylins to scout the way. She held Qi Yihan’s hand and her body emitted a silver light.
The light spread to Qi Yihan.
After the two of them walked out of the town, it was still dark all around, but they could tell that they were in a cave.
Qi Yihan said, “Li, take out my toolbox. If we’re really in the cave, I think my tools will come in handy.”
Tang Li took out his toolbox.
Qi Yihan took the toolbox and placed it on the ground. After opening it, he quickly assembled a tool. In just half an hour, he actually assembled a multi-purpose instrument. Then, he placed the instrument on the ground and operated it to go deeper.
“Let’s keep walking. This device can detect the condition of the soil here and the surrounding magnetic field. It will send me a message every ten minutes. We should be able to know where we are soon.”
Tang Li looked at him with admiration. “Hubby, being a CEO is really a waste of your talent.”
Qi Yihan touched her head and put the controller in his pocket. After the toolbox was put away, he held her hand and continued walking. As they walked, he said, “After I leave the company, I’ll go and do what I want. I can travel around the world with you.”
Tang Li smiled and nodded. “Alright, I’ll make money to support us. You just have to do what you like.”
Qi Yihan smiled.
The two of them walked for ten minutes before Qi Yihan took out the controller and his phone.
Tang Li asked curiously, “There’s no signal here, is there?”
Qi Yihan told her as he operated, “The device I released can send me information through the magnetic field.”
Tang Li clicked her tongue. “This is too advanced!”
Then, she craned her neck to look at the display on his phone.
Qi Yihan said to her, “We’re about 1500 meters underground.”
Tang Li lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before making a guess. “We might be in one of the ancient tombs.”
Qi Yihan frowned. “If we’re really in the ancient tomb, and it’s in the Qinling Mountains, it shouldn’t be easy to get out.”
“Maybe. It depends on what tomb it is.”
Tang Li said, “The tombs of the past emperors are all in the Qinling Mountains. There are more than 70 known tombs, and these are all imperial tombs. There are also tombs of generals, high-ranking officials, and unknown people.”
“If we enter a tomb that hasn’t been explored, there will definitely be many dangers around. It won’t be hard for us to get out, but it’ll be very difficult to bring all the townspeople out.”
