Chapter 66: Dragon Abyss

Returning to Linjia Village, from a distance, the original straw houses had transformed into the current white walls and tiled roofs, exuding an ancient charm.

Surrounded by high walls outside the courtyard, shaded by green trees, Chen Xin felt as if she had traveled back to another era.

Carrying Fang Ziyu off the carriage, with a warm expression, she took his hand. “Let’s go, we’re home.”

Fang Ziyu also looked at Chen Xin with a smile, holding her hand. “Okay.”

Pushing open the tightly closed vermilion wooden door, Fang Ziyu immediately exclaimed, “It’s beautiful!”

The first thing that caught his eye was the winding cobblestone path, with green waves of willows swaying on both sides, small bridges spanning over the rippling lake, and fish swimming under the bridge. Pavilions, rockeries, winding corridors, carved doors, and hollow lanterns dotted the scene. The courtyard was full of blooming peonies, with butterflies and birds fluttering around, showcasing the delicacy of the Jiangnan water town.

At that moment, a gentle breeze swept by, and the bells hanging under the eaves rang out crisply, melodious and pleasant, echoing softly in the ears…

How could it not be beautiful? Chen Xin had put a lot of thought into it. Thinking so, she took Fang Ziyu to admire everything along the way. However, Fang Ziyu frowned slightly. “Xin, the stones hurt my feet.”

Chen Xin chuckled at his words. “There are many acupuncture points on the soles of the feet. It may hurt at first, but after some time, it won’t hurt anymore. However, proper foot massage is very beneficial to the body. Don’t underestimate its effects. The foot is the root of the body, the center of gathering vitality, and our second heart. Massaging the soles of the feet with cobblestones has many benefits, such as strengthening the root, clearing the meridians, and improving health.”

Fang Ziyu widened his beautiful eyes, enduring the pain as he walked slowly. “There are so many benefits? It’s really incredible!”

Chen Xin thought that since Fang Ziyu usually stayed indoors and didn’t exercise much, she might as well lay down a cobblestone path. Over time, there would be unexpected benefits.

Walking through the main corridor, Chen Xin introduced to Fang Ziyu, who was eager to explore, “Here, three independent small courtyards have been built. Each of these two corridors leads to one. We will stay in the main courtyard, and the other two will be left for future needs.”

As Fang Ziyu listened and admired the scenery, he suddenly pointed in a direction and exclaimed in surprise, “Xin, it’s the vegetable patch! Thanks god! The vegetable patch is still here.” With that, he made a gesture of gratitude, as if thanking the heavens.

Chen Xin was speechless. Even if there was gratitude, shouldn’t it be directed at her? What could the heaven do for you?

Looking at the lush vegetable patch below, if it weren’t for the timed bomb buried underneath, what else could be done? If it were dug up and discovered, it would probably lead to a bloody catastrophe.

Since that day, Chen Xin had inexplicably searched for a lot of information, but found nothing. One day, she found some clues from an ancient book passed down by Mrs. Lu’s ancestors. It was said that this gold medal was called “Dragon Abyss,” a treasured possession of the Cang family during the unification of the Mogo Continent.

Two hundred years ago, various princess suddenly launched a coup d’état, fighting for territory. With war raging, the people were displaced, and refugees and beggars multiplied. The leaders realized that if they continued fighting, they would only get an empty city and a group of poor people. After negotiations, peace was finally achieved, and the era was known as the “Princessly Coup.”

The princesses who ruled at that time were now the Yunwen Kingdom, Cangyue Kingdom, Tuoba Kingdom, and Xia Qiong Kingdom. Few people knew the true cause of everything, which was simply because of the “Dragon Abyss,” hinted at in the ancient book.

Although she didn’t know the function of the “Dragon Abyss,” it was enough for Chen Xin to understand the danger of this gold medal.
