Chapter 307: Zhou the Lunatic's Secret Chamber
A good father suddenly wants to become a mother! This kind of thing is impossible for anyone to accept!
Especially such an eccentric father, he's already so nagging, if he turns into a woman, Zhou Nian really can't imagine what the future days would be like!
So she was very anxious and very hopeful, hoping Liu Zixuan could cure Crazy Zhou!
Liu Zixuan rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment: "As long as it's an illness, there's a way to cure it, but your dad isn't cooperating at all right now!"
"I'll go talk to him!"
Zhou Nian said, then walked directly inside, and in an undeniable tone asked: "Dad, honestly tell the senior, what exactly did you do!"
"I... I just found a woman this morning!"
Crazy Zhou was being stubborn!
Zhou Nian wasn't happy about this and, regardless of how Crazy Zhou felt, directly helped him up: "Dad, this is a matter of life and death, if you keep lying, no one can save you!"
"Ah, I..." Crazy Zhou sighed heavily, "I said, isn't it okay if I say it, last night I went to the Seven-Star Tomb and brought out the tomb owner!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan was instantly furious: "I told you before, it's fine to take the treasures inside, but why are you so greedy, the tomb owner left a message not to mess with his body!"
"You mean my illness is related to the tomb owner?" Crazy Zhou asked in confusion.
"Do you really think that thing is just poisonous!" Liu Zixuan scolded unhappily.
"But... but that's just a dead person!" Crazy Zhou grimaced and felt guilty!
"Dead person? After hundreds of years, the body hasn't decayed, do you think that's just an ordinary dead person? The owner who could build such an ingenious layout for the tomb, could they be simple?"
Liu Zixuan had repeatedly advised Crazy Zhou not to have any improper thoughts about the tomb owner's body, but after leaving Ghost Wood City for only a day, it turned out like this...
Facing someone like this, Liu Zixuan was truly helpless!
Crazy Zhou's mouth twitched a few times, and after carefully considering it, Liu Zixuan made a very valid point.
He struggled to move forward a couple of steps, but unexpectedly, his body was weak, and he stumbled to the ground.
Regardless of appearances, he grabbed Liu Zixuan's pants leg: "Son-in-law, it's my fault, but you have to save me. Once I'm better, I'll put the body back and I will even fund the repair of his tomb!"
The world naturally doesn't subscribe to ghost and deity theories, but people are often naive.
To not touch that body was entirely out of respect for the ancestors, but Crazy Zhou was just bewitched! The final outcome is entirely his fault!
There may be no ghosts and deities, but a body preserved for hundreds or even thousands of years surely has some strange things inside. Crazy Zhou must have been influenced by that strange thing to end up like this!
Now it's too late to say anything, the dead are still dead, but the living must be saved!
Liu Zixuan helplessly shook his head: "I hope you keep your word!"
"I've already given you my daughter, and you still don't believe me!" Crazy Zhou pursed his lips and said.
Liu Zixuan looked up at Zhou Nian: "Did you hear that, big-chested girl, you're mine now. From now on, you have to do what a wife should do!"
"Do what..." Zhou Nian asked, blushing.
"What else do men and women do, how did I end up with such a naive daughter!" Crazy Zhou grinned, now he was truly pleading with Liu Zixuan, so he definitely had to flatter him, grabbing Liu Zixuan's hand: "Son-in-law, my daughter is young and inexperienced, she really doesn't understand things between men and women."
"You, as the man, must take the initiative to teach her, you have to teach her."
Liu Zixuan suddenly had a misconception: it seemed that whether it was the father-in-law or the mother-in-law, for a son-in-law it was about selecting carefully, not marrying unless fitting. But Crazy Zhou... seemed a bit too avant-garde!
"Oh, Dad, what are you saying!"
Zhou Nian, hearing such direct words, couldn't stand it anymore. Her face already red, she stomped lightly and ran outside.
Liu Zixuan grinned, having such a father like Crazy Zhou, is it a blessing or a curse?
"Take me to see the tomb owner. If I want to cure your illness, I need to know what got into your body!" Liu Zixuan said.
"I... I can't move like this." Crazy Zhou said with embarrassment while spreading his hands: "You can go see for yourself, behind my office chair, there's a small secret door, you'll see it once you enter!"
As Crazy Zhou spoke those words, his expression was unwilling.
But Liu Zixuan was quite pleased.
Crazy Zhou was famously stingy and money-loving, his secret door must be full of many hidden treasures!
Ignoring him, Liu Zixuan directly threw him onto the ground and walked towards that side.
He moved the office chair aside, lightly knocked on the wooden board below, and there was indeed something hidden.
He moved the wooden board from one side, and immediately a square entrance appeared in front of Liu Zixuan.
Throwing a teasing smile at Crazy Zhou, Liu Zixuan walked straight in.
It was a space about twenty square meters, very neatly arranged.
The left wall was covered with some ancient masterpieces of calligraphy and paintings, while the right side was filled with boxes of various sizes, and in front was a Luminous Pearl the size of a head.
Liu Zixuan smiled wryly: "Using a Luminous Pearl for lighting, how extravagant! I'm afraid not even an ancient emperor would have such a treatment!"
Saying so, he walked towards the Luminous Pearl.
Placing a simple bed underneath it, and lying on it was the very owner of the tomb from the Ancient Tomb.
Liu Zixuan respectfully bowed to the tomb owner and said: "Senior, Crazy Zhou was foolish to bring you out from the ancient tomb, which was truly disrespectful. Now he's faced the consequences. I, a junior, wish to investigate your body to save him, and afterward, I will definitely return you to the tomb to let you rest in peace forever!"
After speaking, Liu Zixuan moved toward the tomb owner, gently removed the armor on top, and began to investigate carefully.
Liu Zixuan also had a mind for curiosity; after all, it's a millennium-old non-decaying body, the research value is extraordinary.
Taking this opportunity, he used the Silver Needle to conduct an examination.
The strange thing was, there wasn't any blood inside the body, and the black liquid drawn out with the Silver Needle was somewhat similar to what was found in the initially described oddity. Liu Zixuan found a jar from one side and stored some, intending to inspect it later!
During this time, he also discovered what caused Crazy Zhou's illness.
Below the first layer of armor, at the lower abdomen of the tomb owner's body, there was something resembling a plant.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, leaned in for a closer look, and suddenly a look of delight emerged: "Oh my goodness, this time I really struck gold! Such a large Corpse Fungus, I've hit the jackpot! With this treasure, I might break through to the King Realm Middle Stage, without a doubt!"
