Unfortunately, at that time, Duan Yun and the Murong brothers mistook their target and went to Mingyu Palace.
This caused the Jade Guanyin to gradually lose patience, and she simply fed them each an insect, so they fell into a deep sleep, unable to awake.
"Sleeping Bug?"
Here, the memory breaks.
But it was also from the memory that Duan Yun found that there was a secret passage in the underground space of the Jade Guanyin.
In Ziyu’s memory, after seeing them, the Jade Guanyin often went to a secret passage that seemed quite hidden.
There, perhaps, lies the secret of the Jade Guanyin.
Wow!
Perhaps both the antidote and the Cultivation Technique are there.
Duan Yun hurriedly asked Shen Ying to take him back.
The dark underground, flames moving about.
It must be said, the fight between Duan Yun and the Jade Guanyin truly turned the world upside down.
The exterior galleries collapsed, the nearby fish were all shocked to death—that’s just on the surface, many places in this underground space got distorted.
For instance, the two thick wooden beams ahead, now twisted like hemp ropes, not to mention the numerous holes blasted into them by their True Qi, appearing as honeycombs, almost triggering trypophobia.
Afterward, the lighting up ahead became much brighter.
It was that yellow jade again, emitting a dim yellow light, illuminating everything around.
The room where Ziyu and Ning Qing were imprisoned was reached.
Following his memory, Duan Yun walked towards the right side.
This place was darker, blacker, and showed no signs of refurbishment; it looked much like a cave naturally formed, which the Jade Guanyin turned into an underground sanctuary, and this area was not renovated.
Ordinary people searching up to here would probably think that this sanctuary had come to an end, nothing left to explore.
But Duan Yun had that piece of memory, so he continued to walk inwards.
Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er followed behind.
At this point, the temperature around them dropped significantly.
Duan Yun flicked his fingers and ignited a Heroic Fire Lotus.
The moment the flames lit up, they could even clearly see the cold air gushing from one side.
Duan Yun followed this cold air and walked over.
This was a long stone pathway, surrounded by rugged and odd-shaped stones, along with the rising cold air, always giving one the illusion of heading towards the netherworld hell.
At this moment, a door indeed appeared in front of them.
A vermilion red gate.
This way all along, the scenery before was very primitive, with little difference from wild mountain caves.
Yet at this moment, a door appeared out of place.
A vermilion red gate.
Honestly, this had a terrifying vibe of Chinese ghost lore.
The secret of the Jade Guanyin, perhaps, was right here.
Duan Yun quickened his pace and headed towards the gate.
Creak, creak, creak...
The heavy gate was slowly pushed open, revealing a dim yellow light inside.
What appeared before them were vast expanses of yellow jade.
These yellow jades were shaped like long strips, entwined together like snakes.
Such a scene undoubtedly caused one’s sanity to slip.
These yellow jades seemed alive, as if they really were snakes.
The key point is that there were too many.
They were entangled closely together, filling the entire space.
Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er felt their scalps tingle.
And this place, perhaps, was where the core secret of the Jade Guanyin resided.
Duan Yun burned the Heroic Fire Lotus and continued to walk inside.
Then, he saw person after person.
Person after person sealed within the yellow jade.
The yellow jade emitted a chill, and those within the jade appeared handsome.
Even if they fell short compared to Duan Yun himself, it was just slightly so.
From here, one could even clearly make out their eyebrows, eyelashes.
It was certain that these people were dead.
But they still preserved the appearance from before death, dressed in luxurious robes, some still holding folding fans, looking elegant and poised.
In total, there were seven individuals.
These seven must have been the many handsome men taken by the Jade Guanyin throughout her life, the ones she favored most.
Perhaps out of kindness, or fondness for them, she couldn’t bear to see them age and their charm fade, so at their best age, she turned them into specimens, placed them in this jade, preserving their eternal youth.
This was indeed the most beautiful state remembered.
Duan Yun and the two with him could even imagine how Jade Guanyin would come here from time to time, watching them with fondness.
This is truly bizarre and twisted.
Duan Yun even imagined that if he were to be defeated, he might just be the eighth person here.
The Mad Women of this world are way too insane; how could someone like him survive if he didn’t wipe them out completely?
He was already regretting having burned the Jade Guanyin so rashly.
He should have brought the Mad Woman’s corpse out, let everyone in the Martial World see how he made her kneel, scrounge around for teeth, and then personally sent her to hell.
At least that would act as a deterrent to similar Mad Women in the Martial World, setting a positive example.
He had been careless.
Duan Yun took such matters seriously, because he was quite handsome. The first time he roamed the wilderness after entering the Martial World, he was almost robbed of his first time by the Red House Mad Woman.
This was a concern that all fine young men of the Martial World had to consider.
Not like the Murong brothers, who only needed to guard against mad men.
At this moment, a bed made of yellow jade appeared in front of them.
The entire bed was wrapped by serpentine jade veins.
The Jade Guanyin must have often slept in this bed, as they found quite a few things on it.
At the head of the bed were the secret books that Duan Yun had in mind, and some bottles and jars.
Those bottles and jars likely contained the Jade Guanyin’s poison and antidote.
Duan Yun relayed the scenes he had seen in his memory to Shen Ying and Feng Ling’er.
Shen Ying said, "The Jade Guanyin fed them insects?"
"What kind of insect?"
Duan Yun frowned, recalling, "The size of a fingernail, somewhat yellow."
Shen Ying picked up a porcelain bottle but did not open it.
Because it was very possible it contained poisons similar to Beisu Qingfeng, which could cause poisoning upon inhalation.
From time to time, she tapped on the porcelain bottle, listening carefully.
Finally, she took out a black porcelain bottle and said, "Hold your breath first."
The three of them stopped breathing in an instant.
Shen Ying opened the porcelain bottle.
The next moment, a series of small sounds arose.
As if centipedes were crawling on the ground.
Sure enough, an insect crawled out of the mouth of the bottle.
A multi-legged yellow insect that resembled a maggot with the legs of a centipede.
As these sounds began, Ning Qing and Ziyu, who had been in a coma, suddenly furrowed their brows and began to gasp for air.
With a retch!
Both women suddenly vomited, and two yellow insects fell out of their mouths.
Ziyu slowly opened her eyes and whispered, "Water."
She was given some water to drink slowly, and on the other side, Ning Qing also woke up.
Obviously, it was these insects that put them into a coma.
Shen Ying circulated her True Qi and caught all three insects into the porcelain bottle.
"Do you know the cure?" Feng Ling’er asked, puzzled.
"To use insects for poisoning is very similar to the Gu poison of the Five Immortals Sect. Gu insects often have males and females, which are attracted to each other’s sounds; some Gu poisons from the Five Immortals Sect are resolved this way," explained Shen Ying.
At this moment, the experience of an old riverside finally showed a bit of its wisdom.
Now that Ning Qing and Ziyu had awakened in a dazed state, although they appeared bemused, it seemed they were no longer in harm’s way.
Since the poison was cured and they had obtained what they came for, naturally, it was time to leave.
Duan Yun smoothly and naturally tucked the secret book into his chest and then, one after another, smashed the yellow jade containing the handsome men.
After these corpses were released from the yellow jade, their previously well-preserved visages instantly became hollow and aged, losing all luster.
Duan Yun kindled a flame and set them alight one by one.
These bodies had been trapped here, which was truly pitiful.
Thinking that they once had the same handsome and unrestrained appearance as himself, Duan Yun suddenly felt even more sympathetic.
If there were souls in this world, they might be able to be reincarnated like this.
The roaring flames burned, crackling profusely.
Duan Yun searched the place once more and only found about a dozen gold bracelets; there was no other loot.
The Jade Guanyin must not have fancied gold and silver treasures, such items were nearly nonexistent.
The gold bracelets even had barbs on them; they looked less like jewelry and more like some sort of tools to increase pleasure.
Having some is better than none.
As a Young Hero, he had little interest in money.
If given the choice, he would rather be an ordinary doctor, practicing martial arts leisurely and living a carefree life.
Unfortunately, this world was too rotten.
Thus, what interested him the most was still the Jade Guanyin’s secret book.
Duan Yun had already looked at it, and the cover had six characters written on it — "Yellow Yellow Yellow Yellow Intent Skills."
