Chapter 1886 Heading to the Maze

"Captain, can I instill modern knowledge into her and tell her your true identity and origin?" Nuwa asked tentatively.

"Yes! She belongs to the kind of existence that was created by me and is completely loyal to me under the influence of the system. Just like the pets in the original world." Jia Zhengjin responded.

"Pet?" Nuwa smiled, "Then I understand! Captain, don't worry, I will take good care of her."

"Well! Then she will stay here and listen to your command. Teleport me to the chemical station. I want to make medicine."

"Yes! By the way, Captain, can I mobilize her to perform tasks elsewhere? For example, to be responsible for receiving intelligence in Kang County instead of me?" Nuwa asked.

Jia Zhengjin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay! Anyway, it's under your command."

"Okay Captain! Huo'er, shall I arrange a place for you first?" Nuwa smiled and turned to look at Huo'er.

Huo'er turned his attention to Jia Zhengjin and asked him for instructions.

"Huo'er, you stay here first and follow Nuwa's arrangements. Her orders are my orders, you know?" Jia Zhengjin ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, Huo'er immediately turned around and bent towards Nuwa, "Since it is your Majesty's order, Huo'er is willing to obey your orders!"

"Good boy~" Nuwa looked very happy.

"Okay, take me to the chemical station."

"As you command, Captain!"

Go to the chemical station to process the medicinal materials and make the golden sore medicine and Qubing pills. Jia Zhengjin packaged them and placed them in exquisite small boxes.

Then she asked Nuwa to teleport herself down, enter the place closest to the entrance in the maze, stack it side by side with the first box of treasure, and then put the bamboo slips written in advance on it.

The world already has paper, and it is widespread enough. But except for the more educated people, most still use bamboo slips.

Since the labyrinth is to be turned into a historical monument, it is necessary to consider the possibility that paper has not yet appeared, and it is not easy to make mistakes with bamboo slips.

After everything was ready, we returned to Niu Shun's home and waited for dawn.

At dawn the next day, Niu Xi's friends came to invite him again.

As expected, Niu Xi rejected them, saying that he wanted to go up the mountain to cut firewood.

Not just his friends,

Even his father Niu Bao was surprised and couldn't believe it.

When Niu Xi asked "Niu Shun" to get up and went up the mountain with him, people in the village were talking about it and expressed doubts about this strange sight.

Some people think Niu Xi wants to change his past, but most people don't believe it. Even Niu Bao himself thinks it's impossible.

But at least it's better to go chop wood with Niu Shun, who is recognized as the most honest person in the village, than to continue to associate with his bad friends.

On the other side, Niu Shun, transformed by Jia Zhengjin, took Niu Xi up the mountain and headed towards the maze.

When they arrived at a deserted area, Niu Shun took off the wooden bow his father used to use from his back, put on an arrow branch and paid careful attention to the surroundings: "Shunzi, we have to be careful."

"Well! Don't worry, this area is quite safe." Jia Zhengjin held a hatchet and opened the way. "Those wild beasts have their own activity areas. Although there are cases where they come here, they are only a few after all."

"Shh~ We'd better not make too much noise to avoid attracting the beast's attention." Niu Xi looked very nervous and couldn't stay calm.

"Yeah!" Jia Zhengjin didn't panic at all and led him slowly along the mountain road.

The journey was uneventful, and soon they left the safe area where villagers in Niulan Village lived, and entered the mountains where wild beasts roamed.

Niu Xi was even more nervous, and he could clearly hear the rapid breathing. This was not due to mountain climbing.

The two of them were speechless all the way, mustering their best energy and proceeding carefully in the dangerous area.

Encountering several venomous snakes on the way, Jia Zhengjin drove them away directly, making Niu Xi feel at ease.

Finally, they successfully arrived at the bottom of the cliff, and took Niu Xi to the entrance of the very hidden maze. After the two of them got in, Niu Xi was sweating profusely, but felt much more at ease.

"Shunzi, you don't look afraid at all?" Niu Xi, who was always wearing rough clothes due to fear and the fatigue of climbing the mountain, looked up and saw that the expression of the person walking in front of him was as usual, and he was a little emotional.

"I'm familiar with this area!" Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "Except for poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, there are very few ferocious wild animals."

"After all, he often goes up the mountain." Niu Xi admired him. "I was thinking all the time whether a wild beast would suddenly rush out and panic to death."

"It's okay! I've been here once before. Don't worry, there won't be any surprises." Jia Zhengjin said with a smile, "By the way, did he feel weird when you declined to that person today?"

"Hou Li?"

"Yes, it's him."

"He thought it was strange, and he even advised me not to chop wood." Niu Xi said, "But we already agreed, so of course we have to come."

The possibility that Hou Li is Yue Lang's change is quite high. Jia Zhengjin nodded: "Xizi, don't have any contact with Hou Li in the future. If he finds out that you are getting rich, he may not be able to keep his mouth shut. After this matter is over, It’s not too late for you to interact with them.”

"He shouldn't be that quick with his mouth..." Niu Xi hesitated, "But I know the seriousness, at least until we handle this matter, I won't tell them."

"That's good!" Jia Zhengjin nodded. As long as Niu Xi doesn't associate with Yue Lang's changed people, he can rest assured.

"Is this the maze you're talking about?" Niu Xi glanced around, "I think it's just a cave. Where is the maze?"

"The previous copper coins and silver ingots were picked up here at the entrance of the cave." Jia Zhengjin said, "Follow me."

"good!"

Take Niu Xi and walk inside, and soon arrive in front of a huge stone door.

Near the stone door, there are murals and ancient characters carved by Jia Zhengjin in advance.

"Do you think it is a maze? And this door, is it very similar to this point in the painting?" Jia Zhengjin pointed at the mural.

Niu Xi went forward to take a look. There is indeed a maze plan on the mural, and the door at the entrance is painted very similar to the stone door in front of him. There are two lines of words next to the mural: "Thousands of years of practice have achieved the Tao, and the family wealth of ten thousand guan will be left to future generations."

"Ten thousand guan family wealth, there are really gold and silver treasures in it, right?" This is actually Jia Zhengjin's masterpiece, and this question is also deliberately asked.

"From the literal meaning, it seems to be the wealth left by a cultivator. He has cultivated to become an immortal and does not need these mundane things." Niu Xi seemed quite excited because this proved that the treasure really existed.

"In addition to the treasure, will there be other treasures?" Jia Zhengjin asked.

"It's possible!" Niu Xi nodded repeatedly, "If it really exists, how should we divide it?"

"Anyway, we will divide it equally according to the value of the treasure we got according to the previous agreement!"

"Yes! Equally..." Niu Xi nodded excitedly.

"But Xizi, my biggest headache now is this maze door. I really don't know how to get in." Jia Zhengjin pretended to look around, "This stone is so heavy that I can't push it!"

"There must be a mechanism!"

"I don't understand these either. You are smarter. Let's see how to get in!"

"Okay! Let's look around now. Maybe there are clues."
