Chapter 539
The tomb of Fu Liuying and the wordless monument were both organized by Fu Yunshen.
He bought this mountain specifically for this purpose, and during normal times, all entrances are completely blocked off and no one is allowed to enter.
Shanghai City is not like the imperial capital, there is no ancient martial arts community here, and ancient martial artists have to go through the Hall of Justice for permission to come here.
Even more unlike the O Continent side, mercenaries cannot enter Shanghai City on a large scale, occasionally a few hunters will be mixed in, but they definitely cannot escape the IBi’s tracing.
The force value on this side of Shanghai City has to be very low, one could say it is almost non-existent, just a normal international city.
But because of the last incident of Helvin’s kidnapping as well, it made Fu Yun Shen raise his defensive heart.
He specifically had Li Xini call in a team of senior agents from ibi to guard around the mountain and ensure that no one would get in.
Every time he swept the tomb, he would stop for a day and a night.
Even if the wordless monument had been washed away by heavy rain with an extra crack, Fu Yunshen would be able to see it at a glance
Not to mention that the soil around the tombstone had obviously been renovated.
Ying Zidian’s eyes narrowed suddenly: “Are those the people?”
Her hand caressed the grave, her eyes slightly closed.
Within a month, all the things that had happened on this mountain had come to the surface.
It had rained a few times, mostly on sunny days.
Not that anyone had come up.
Proof that things had to happen a month before.
But Fu Liu Ying’s grave had not been destroyed.
Her inner strength penetrated into the earth and she could feel the coffin underneath was well placed.
Fu Yunshen’s hand clasped the tombstone, his tone deep and cold: “Immediately ask the agents on this side of Shanghai City if anyone has come up the mountain in the past few months?”
Li Xini had never heard Fu Yunshen speak in such a cold and hostile tone before, he was stunned for a moment, then reacted with a jerk: “Yes, sir.”
He contacted all the agents in Shanghai as quickly as possible and replied to Fu Yunshen with all the information he had gathered.
None of the agents had found anyone on the mountain, all said everything was normal.
Fu Yunshen restrained the violence that surged within him, his fingers lifted and stroked the turned over earth, his expression was a pause, his peach blossom eyes narrowed.
He saw some more very light and faint incense ashes.
These incense ashes had obviously been cleaned, but there was still some residue.
The reason why the soil had been renovated was because the incense ashes that had fallen on it had been removed.
Ying Ziji pressed his shoulder, his eyes slightly sunken: “Brother, take it easy, the tomb has not been moved.”
“Yes, it’s not a dug grave.” The darkness in Fu Yun Shen’s eyes flip-flopped, his voice low and mute, as if he was relieved, “It’s a worship service.”
But the only person who knew that Fu Liuying was buried here, apart from him, was Elder Fu.
Once Old Master Fu was gone, who else would come to pay their respects?
Even Jiang Ping didn’t know where Fu Liu Ying’s grave was.
Fu Yunshen silently removed all the light incense ashes, but his eyes became even colder.
In his mind, a very vague outline of a man suddenly emerged.
The word father had never existed in Fu Yunshen’s life.
He thought about taking revenge on Fu Liu Ying, but didn’t even think about finding out who the man was that was with Fu Liu Ying back then.
Whether it was forced or not, the result was that Fu Liu Ying returned to Shanghai alone with her child.
And that man, from the beginning to the end, never appeared.
He had abandoned Fu Liu Ying.
Fu Yunshen took the paper from Ying Ziji’s hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly smiled, his tone light: “No wonder I’m having nightmares again these days.”
The events of twenty years ago were like a shadow.
Ying Zidian raised his eyes, “Guess who it is?”
“Yes.” Fu Yun Shen stroked her head and smiled, “Ninety percent chance, it’s the man who abandoned my mother back then, what do you think he’s doing here?”
If it was the man who killed Fu Liu Ying at that time, if he found out, he would indeed lift the tomb straight up.
The phone rang a little at that moment.
This is a video taken by a drone, sir. The video shows that a few people went up the mountain two months ago, they went up with fruit baskets and offerings, stayed for a day and then went back down.
[Li Xini]: Sir, do we need to send more people?
Fu Yunshen looked pale and replied.
[No need, keep the citizens of the world safe.
The senior agents of ibi were all trained up through layers and layers of training, and apart from their force value, they were very good at detecting.
Even they hadn’t noticed that the visitor was strong.
And these people who paid their respects had very consciously avoided the drone shots, not even showing their faces.
But on their clothes, there was indeed no black skull logo.
That force was arrogant enough to either embroider the logo on their clothes or to leave a corresponding mark.
For example, the fragments of clothes left behind after the explosion in the o-continent university city.
Ying’s eyes fell on the man in black at the head of the video.
The man’s back was stern and his stride powerful.
Clearly the pressure of a man who had lived in a position of authority for a long time.
She pondered for a moment, “Could it be him?”
Only after Fu Yunshen had finished reviewing the footage and confirmed that the grave mound was indeed untouched did he speak, very cool and light: “I don’t care.”
After a pause, “Yoyo, do you still have the miniature camera that Doll Face gave you?”
“Yes.” Ying Ziji took a few out of her school bag.
Fu Yunshen took them and mounted two very concealed on the tombstone.
He squatted down again, “It’s really not safe here anymore, I’ll help my mother move her grave.”
Ying Zidian nodded, understanding: “The ancient martial world?”
“Mm.” Fu Yunshen made two more phone calls, “The Ancient Martial World is indeed the safest place.”
There was nothing high-tech inside, at most wifi and signal generation devices, hacking was useless.
He turned his head sideways, his peach blossom eyes curving up, “Yoyo, you can help me calculate, it’s advisable not to move the grave today.”
Moving a grave does have certain feng shui precautions, and he didn’t want to alarm Fu Liuying.
Ying Ziji pondered for a long time, her eyes narrowed and she calculated, “It’s very suitable, 11pm, an auspicious time.”
Fu Yunshen nodded and had someone come up at that time.
**
Ying Ziji stayed in Shanghai for two more days with Master Zhong, and then set off back to the ancient martial world.
She helped Fu Yunshen choose a feng shui site and once again buried Fu Liuying.
When she returned to the Ye family, the Ye family head was cleaning up.
All of Ye’s second uncle’s faction had had their internal energy abolished and had been driven out of the Ye family.
Now they were taking inventory of their belongings.
Ying Ziji paused in her steps and walked in.
“Miss Ying.” Ye Ling saw the girl coming and immediately greeted her, “Miss Ying, are you all right?”
That day, Ying Ziji and she had left separately, but left Yunshan behind.
On the way back to the Ye family, Ye Ling had endured an interception.
But none of those ancient martial artists had more than thirty years of cultivation, so Yun Shan dealt with them easily.
Once the sacks were filled, they were thrown directly in front of Ye Erhu’s courtyard.
Second Uncle Ye did not expect at all that not only had all the ancient martial artists he had hired been lost, they were also provoked so openly.
Although Second Uncle Ye had always been eager for the position of family head, he really did not have much power in his hands, so he only dared to do something behind his back.
But after the matter was put out in the open, he was about to have his family copied.
The Ye family head did not show the slightest mercy either.
Ancient martial artists were supposed to be clean and sharp.
“I’m fine.” Ying Ziji shook her head slightly as she turned her head, looking at Yun Shan with a rare praise, “Well done.”
Yun Shan was overjoyed.
He immediately ran back into the house, took out the women’s clothes he had bought and compared them to himself.
His expression was serious, not half joking.
“Miss Ying, do you think it’s okay for me to wear the body?”
Ying Ziji closed her eyes, didn’t say a word, turned around and walked away.
She was afraid that if she lingered for another second, she wouldn’t be able to resist kicking Yun Shan into the sack.
**
The other side.
The Ji family.
Research Institute.
The day of the heir selection was getting closer and closer, and everyone in the Ji family was ready.
But inevitably there is some trepidation.
There are many factions in the Ji family, and whichever one comes to the top means that the right family is bound to suffer a crackdown.
At noon, the researchers came out of the lab and gathered in twos and threes to go to the cafeteria.
“Vice President Liu and Vice President Chen are both prepared to vote for Wen Fengmian.” A researcher said, “It says that anyone can choose the heir, but in the end, it’s the Ji family, so it’s better not to give it to someone with a foreign surname.”
“Yes, it’s no difference to the family, but it’s a big difference to us. ”
“If Professor Yan hadn’t been expelled from Imperial University, I might have voted for her.”
Yan Ruoxue listened to all of it and her face was cold.
Every researcher had a vote.
These days, she had indeed lost a lot of hearts and minds.
If those few Vice Presidents all voted for Wen Fengmian, there was indeed no way for her to inherit the Institute.
Yan Ruoxue gave a cold laugh.
She entered the Institute and went straight to Vice President Xu’s office.
“Vice President Xu.” Yan Ruoxue put down her bag with grace and elegance, “You should know the purpose of my visit.”
Vice President Xu frowned, very coldly, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what Professor Yan means.”
The matter of Yan Ruoxue’s dismissal from Imperial University had been sent to the Ji family with a paper from Chen Junxian, and the entire Institute knew about it.
They were not sure what exactly Yan Ruoxue had done, but what could it be if she had all been dismissed from the Imperial Capital University?
“Vice President Xu, a smart person doesn’t need to play any sloppy games.” Yan Ruoxue spoke indifferently, “You have great authority in the inner court, and the other vice deans listen to you, you only need to join them in voting for me in the heir election.”
She lowered her voice, “As long as you vote for me, I will let An He hire an ancient doctor to treat your wife’s illness and guarantee a cure.”
Vice President Xu’s hand lurched and he jerked his head up, “An ancient doctor?”
Madam Xu was a member of the Ji family and a researcher, and had been exposed to radiation and was weak.
This was indeed Vice President Xu’s heartache.
“Vice President Xu, you should also know that although An He was withdrawn from Imperial Capital University, she is still a member of the Dan Alliance anyways.” Yan Ruoxue smiled lightly, “She naturally knows quite a few ancient doctors.”
Vice President Xu didn’t speak anymore.
Yan Ruoxue knew that this was his heart moving, and didn’t say much: “I’ll wait for Vice President Xu’s good news.”
As long as she pulled in this vote from Vice President Xu, the other fellows would also follow him.
Her position as the heir was very secure.
Vice President Xu was indeed very moved, and his mind struggled for a while before he surrendered to the ancient doctor.
But unable to get past that mental hurdle, he got up and went to the villa area.
This was the villa where Madam Ji’s father was.
When the old man got well, he walked with the wind and only watered the flowers for a walk every day.
After seeing Vice President Xu arrive, he put down the kettle, “Little Xu, you’re here.”
“Elder Yuan, I’m really sorry.” Vice President Xu pursed his lips and sighed, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with the selection of the successor this time.”
Hearing these words, the old man frowned, “What’s going on?”
Vice President Xu had been promoted by him and was considered his beloved.
Over the years, it was also Vice President Xu who had secretly helped to take care of a lot, otherwise Ji Yihang and his wife would indeed have been a*sa*sinated by Ji Yiyuan long ago.
“You know, my wife’s illness …… alas.” Vice President Xu didn’t say much, “I’m really sorry, Professor Yan said that she could ask an ancient doctor to cure my wife’s illness.”
The old man’s face sank.
He knew that it had nothing to do with Yan Ruoxue.
But an ancient doctor?
“Ancient doctors?” The old man thought for a moment, “You only need ancient doctors?”
Vice President Xu was stunned, “What do you mean, only need?”
These days, can you see ancient doctors everywhere in the imperial capital?
Vice President Xu shook his head, thinking to himself that this Yuan Lao wasn’t quite clear-headed after he had retired from his position as Vice President.
In this top circle in the imperial capital, the Ji family was indeed a step above the Mu family and the Nie family.
But there was one thing that could not be compared.
The Ji family had to go through the ancient martial arts community’s own family to hire ancient doctors.
This family was not allowed to have any exchanges between the Ji family and any families in the Ancient Martial World and Ancient Medical World to prevent betrayers from appearing.
Even the dean, who did not have the ability to talk his way into the family’s hands, went to get the family to help bring in the ancient doctors.
Anyway, he had reached the age of almost retirement, and his surname was not Ji, so it did not matter much to him who was in charge of the Ji family.
Then he would vote for Yan Ruoxue.
Vice President Xu got up and said nothing more: “Elder Yuan, I’ll leave first.”
Chapter 540
Before he could turn around, he was called to a halt.
“Little Xu, wait.”
Vice President Xu only had to stop and sighed again, “Elder Yuan, it really can’t be helped, you should also know my family’s situation, I can’t bear to see my wife suffer.”
The researchers of the Ji family were like that, especially those doing biochemical experiments, they were exposed to radiation almost every day.
No matter how advanced the radiation suits were, that couldn’t have blocked it all.
There are many people who suffer from illnesses, and most importantly, radiation can easily lead to genetic mutations.
There are some diseases that modern medical technology has not yet developed to that level and cannot be cured.
Although Vice President Xu’s wife did not have cancer, her health was also terrible, with occasional cone pains.
“I understand how you feel, your wife is very important.” The old man nodded, “You know, I was also very sick at first, I was in the intensive care unit, but look at me now, I’m still fine?”
Vice President Xu froze and suddenly became excited, “Right, Elder Yuan, do you know an ancient doctor?”
“Whether it’s the ancient doctor or not, I’m not sure, but her medical skills are very strong.” The old man said, “I can guarantee that she will definitely be able to cure your wife.”
Hearing so, Vice President Xu also responded.
Madam Ji’s father’s illness was much more serious than his wife’s.
Since he could get well, then his wife could too.
“The heir is not chosen until Friday, there are still a few days left.” The old man picked up his phone, “I’ll ask her first, if not, you do as you think, no force.”
Vice President Xu had taken care of Ji Yihang and his wife for so many years, and had not asked for anything in return.
But the old man believed that Mrs Xu’s illness would be a breeze for Ying Ziji.
**
The ancient medical world.
Ying Ziji made another trip to the Dan League, this time to make an appointment for the examination.
This time she went to make an appointment for the test. The test at the Dan League must start from level one and cannot be skipped.
The level one test is about pill making.
It was the simplest of all, the Health Raising Pill.
It is the kind that can be taken by ordinary people to prolong their lives and strengthen their bodies, not the fake health products that cheat the elderly in the market.
She found it tasteless, so she refined it and made various flavours to take with her as sugar beans.
She prefers chocolate flavour.
After the appointment, Ying Ziyi received a call from Wen Fengmian.
After listening to it, she thought for a moment: “OK, I’ll go over now and take a look. From this description, it’s not difficult to treat.”
Ying Ziji thought about it according to Mrs. Xu’s symptoms and went over to the herb store to buy a few more herbs.
All of a sudden, a lot of money was spent.
After all, the currency in the ancient medical world and the ancient martial world was one to ten compared to the outside.
She needed to go back and ask her dad to reimburse her.
Yun Shan followed behind Ying Zigui, keeping a check on the movements around her.
Just a short distance away from the Dan League, a garden was pa*sed by.
At the entrance of the garden sat an old woman, old and with white hair.
“Little girl, can you help me clear the weeds inside this field.” She heard footsteps and raised her head tremulously, “People are old, this old eyes are dizzy, I can’t see well.”
Yun Shan froze, and before he could say anything, he saw the girl take a step and already step over first.
He hurriedly followed, but was a little confused when he entered.
This was a piece of land that had not long been reclaimed, and the green shoots of plants had only just emerged.
At a glance, it was impossible to tell which was planted.
“Old, old man, which are the weeds?”
“Bad eyes, I can’t see.”
Yun Shan: “……”
Ying crouched down, her eyes moving slightly.
She sniffed, and her hand pressed down on a weed.
“Miss Ying, in case you pull-” Before Yun Shan could finish this sentence, Ying Zigui had already dryly pulled out the gra*s.
Yun Shan’s heart thudded and he subconsciously looked back at the old lady.
The old lady did not react, but nodded her head, seemingly satisfied.
Yun Shan breathed a sigh of relief, “Miss Ying, you know how to tell the difference?”
He was originally an ancient martial artist and his eyesight had to exceed that of ordinary people, but he really couldn’t see any difference.
“Well, you can’t recognise it.” Ying Ziji went on to pluck the weed from the root, “These herbs are not much different from weeds at first, you need to use your eyes, nose and ears to judge them all at the same time, not even close.”
After a pause, she sighed softly, “What a treasured herb.”
She had just taken a glance, just inside this one medicinal field, there were ten Fire Lotus fruits.
A ripe fire lotus fruit could be bought on the nok forum for a million dollars.
No, it should be a lot of money.
Yunshan didn’t expect that this was planted with medicinal herbs, he asked, “Miss Ying, the young master has a share in hand and can help you plan out a ten-mu large medicinal field, if you need it, I’ll report it to him here.”
The soil of the medicinal fields where ancient doctors grow medicine is special, and these lands are controlled by several ancient medical families.
Hearing this, Ying raised his eyebrows, “Who says I can grow medicinal herbs? I don’t know anything about it.”
Yun Shan was stunned, “Huh?”
As far as he was concerned, Miss Ying was a jack-of-all-trades.
Ying Zidian didn’t reply and went on to weed the herb fields.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know anything about it, because she really hadn’t thought about it.
There are two kinds of rare herbs.
Those that are born in nature, that have survived the wind and rain, that have survived the years, that have preserved the essence of the herbs to the best of their ability.
The other type of artificial cultivation is much more demanding.
She was a lazy person and had not been exposed to this aspect of herb growing.
Growing medicinal herbs was really tiring.
In the past, when she needed any medicine in the Spirit Cultivation World, her good friend had brought it directly for her.
She was also given a medicinal garden at the back, which had enough seeds that she couldn’t even use them up.
After returning to Earth, this aspect of medicinal herbs really became a problem.
The main thing was that the money spent on medicine was too much.
With this money, she would rather invest in First Light Media and let the company recruit more beautiful actresses.
Ying finished picking all the weeds in the patch.
“Thank you, little girl.” The old lady stood up, she walked slowly, holding a green round fruit in her hand, “There’s nothing today, I’ll give you a fruit to eat, it will quench your thirst, don’t refuse.”
Ying Zidian paused, not brushing her off, and took it, “You’re welcome.”
As the old lady walked inside, she said, “It’s getting late, it’s dangerous for a young girl not to stay outside alone.”
Yun Shan: “???”
Was he not a human being in the old lady’s eyes?
Just because he didn’t know which herbs were herbs and which were gra*ses?
“It’s not a physical illness, old man.” Ying Ziji held the fruit and suddenly spoke, “It’s a heart disease, but it’s become a heart disease and the heart chakra is damaged, so if it’s not cured, I’m afraid there won’t be much time left.”
Yun Shan listened and scratched his head straight.
Miss Ying hadn’t been in the ancient medical world before, so why did she speak with the same emphasis as the natives born and bred here?
Hearing this, the old lady’s body stalled, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
She leaned on her crutches and continued walking.
Ying Ziji didn’t stop any longer and went out of the garden.
She looked at the round green fruit in her hand and mused, “This is a fifty-year old green ginseng fruit.”
“Green ginseng fruit?!” Yun Shan cracked up instantly, “Used to quench your thirst?!”
Green ginseng fruit was not considered much of a rare medicinal herb, but most of them were twenty years old.
Fifty-year ones were basically invisible.
The Hall of Justice had once only collected two forty year old ones, one of which was put up for auction and ended up selling for a million.
This TM was only used to quench thirst in the old lady’s mouth?
Yun Shan suddenly reacted: “Miss Ying, the Tea Saint! She must be the Tea Saint! No wonder you went in to help her.”
Apart from the Tea Saint, who else could grow a fifty-year portion of green ginseng fruit?
Anyone would want the Tea Saint’s favours.
If you could get to know the Tea Saint, you would be able to get first-hand access to the treasured herbs.
But why is the Tea Saint here?
Not that mountain over there?
“No, I was thinking of my grandfather.” Ying Ziji looked up, narrowing her phoenix eyes and looking faintly at the sky, “If one day he’s away and I’m not around and he needs help and there’s no one to help him, he must be very sad.”
Just empathising.
The cycle of karma.
Doing more good deeds can indeed accumulate blessings and luck.
**
After refining the herbs she had bought, Ying Ziji asked Yunshan to stay at Ye’s house and made a trip back to Ji’s house first.
She went to Vice President Xu’s residence.
Both Ji Yihang and his wife and Wen Fengmian were there.
Ying Ziji nodded in greeting, “Dad, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Elder Yuan.”
Vice-President Xu was thinking that Madam Ji’s father, being the patriarch of the Ji family, would surely not lie to him.
But once he saw how young the girl was, not even twenty years old, there was really no way to believe it.
After all, Vice President Xu had been at the Institute for more than ten years, and although he had never been to the ancient martial world or the ancient medical world, he had heard of several young ancient doctors’ names.
It was needless to say that Lin Qingjia was twenty-two years old, a supreme genius who was trained in both ancient medicine and ancient martial arts.
