"I haven't seen other members of the Ghost Clan, but it's not difficult for me to recognize you."
Su Li gave an ambiguous answer. Her fingers brushed the smooth forehead of the little girl on the bed, and she said in a subtle tone, "It's very easy for me to cure your daughter, but I need you to promise me one thing."
"You really come here with a purpose …"
The dignified woman was nervous and hesitated for a moment. Seeing her daughter frowning from time to time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead."
Su Li saw her reaction, and a memory flashed in her mind. Her eyes softened a little, and she said in a flat tone, "Madam, is there a dry well in the backyard of the Duan Mansion?"
The dignified woman obviously didn't expect that Su Li would suddenly change the topic. She was stunned for a moment, and then she said in surprise, "There is indeed a dry well in front of the ancestral temple. It seems to be very old, and everyone in the city knows it. Many people in the family have also gone there to investigate, but they didn't find anything. Are you … "
"Madam, you guess too much."
Su Li smiled and narrowed her eyes with perfect radian. The dignified woman heard the warning from her, and immediately shut up. After a while, she changed the topic and said, "What … do you want me to do?"
Su Li's eyes flashed, and she said, "I want to enter the dry well. In addition to the cooperation of the Duan Family, maybe I also need you to guard outside. When I enter the well, no one is allowed to enter! With your strength, it should be very easy. "
The dignified woman opened her mouth slightly and said in surprise, "Only so many requirements?"
Su Li smiled and nodded without saying anything. The dignified woman suddenly relaxed and said confidently, "With my secret help, my husband has completely controlled the Duan Mansion. The dry well has been explored thoroughly by the Duan Family. You won't encounter any resistance at all if you want to enter the dry well. As long as you can cure my daughter … during the time when you enter the well, I will stay by the well and guard it!"
"It's a deal."
"It's a deal!"
…
An hour later, Su Li opened the door and saw Duan Rong, who was anxiously waiting at the door. Duan Rong was stunned when he saw Su Li appear.
It was only an hour. Could it be …
"Sir, my daughter?"
Duan Rong couldn't help but use the honorific title. Su Li smiled and turned slightly, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you. Head of the Duan Family, please go in and have a look."
Duan Rong immediately got excited. Regardless of anything else, he stepped into the room quickly. Then a girl's clear voice sounded in the room like that of an oriole.
"Father!"
"Dou 'er is awake! Madam … God bless you, this is great! "
Duan Rong choked with sobs as he spoke. Su Li stood at the door and didn't disturb them. She turned around and asked the butler of the Duan Family to arrange a rest for her.
A moment later, in the rear hall of the Duan family.
Duan Rong and his wife led their daughter over. Duan Rong's eyes were still a little red. It could be seen that he loved his daughter very much.
The youngest daughter of the Duan Family was named Duan Yuan, and her nickname was Dou 'er. When she saw Su Li, who was sitting in the armchair in the back hall and resting with her eyes closed, she rolled her big black eyes and walked quickly to Su Li in accordance with her parents' instructions. Then she knelt down and said crisply,
"Thank you for saving my life, Doctor Su! My parents said that if you hadn't helped me, my life would have been in danger! Dou 'er will remember this kindness in his heart and will never forget it! "
Su Li opened her eyes and chuckled. She reached out and helped the little girl up. Then she looked up and said, "You are so polite. We just have a fair deal."
"Doctor Su, you are wrong!"
Duan Rong waved his hand and said seriously, "This matter may not be worth mentioning for you, but it is a great favor for me and my wife! Madam has already told me your request. Although our Duan Family has been rooted here for thousands of years, it is recorded in the family classics that the dry well doesn't belong to our Duan Family. If you want to go in, our Duan Family will never stop you. And we will send someone to meet you at the mouth of the well. If you need anything, just tell us! "
"You are really forthright, Head of the Duan Family."
Su Li praised and shook her head with a smile, "I don't have any other request. I just hope that I won't bring you any trouble when I enter the dry well."
"It's no trouble at all. Doctor Su, come with me. I will take you to the ancestral temple …"
Duan Rong was gentle, but he acted decisively. In less than half an hour, Su Li had already stood in front of the gate of the ancestral temple of the Duan Family and saw the dry well overgrown with weeds.
"According to the ancestors, the well has been abandoned for thousands of years, but the mouth of the well is still there. Maybe there is something extraordinary about it."
Duan Rong explained, but he didn't think that Su Li could find anything. According to Madam's description, Su Li was a wandering doctor who liked strange things and wandered around. Her medical skills were extremely excellent. It was a great blessing for his daughter to meet such a highly-skilled doctor to treat her!
Hearing Duan Rong's words, Su Li walked to the well and pulled away the thick yellow weeds. The edge of the mouth of the well came into view. There might have been meaningful patterns and words on it, but after the baptism of time, there was only a bare stone surface left.
"The entrance of the ancestral land is so damaged?! It seems that no one has entered the ancestral land for thousands of years. "
Black Lotus screamed in the ring. Su Li turned a deaf ear to him and didn't go down the well immediately. Instead, she turned to Duan Rong and said with a smile, "After all, this is the ancestral temple of your mansion. It is disrespectful for me to go down the well rashly. Can I go to the ancestral temple and burn a stick of incense to express my apology?"
When Duan Rong heard this, the discomfort in his heart immediately disappeared. He said with a smile on his face, "Dr. Su, you are so considerate. In this way, I can explain it to my ancestors. I'll order someone to prepare it!"
Duan Rong turned and left. Only Su Li and the dignified woman were left in the ancestral temple.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant. Su Li looked at the dignified woman who was a little nervous and asked with a smile, "May I know your name?"
The dignified woman forced a smile, "My surname is also Duan. We are from the same family."
Su Li nodded and didn't continue to ask. She turned to look at the dense plaques in the ancestral temple.
Hearing this, Black Lotus couldn't help thinking, "This half-human half-ghost baby is also surnamed Duan. Is she the offspring of the royal family of Ghost Clan and Human Clan? Tut-tut. After tens of thousands of years, her bloodline is so mixed that I can't recognize whether she is a descendant of the royal family. Well … "
Hearing Black Lotus's words, Su Li's eyes flashed. When she was about to continue to ask something, Duan Rong hurried in with an incense cup. She immediately gave up the idea.
Even if Madam Duan was really a descendant of the royal family of Ghost Clan, it had nothing to do with her.
It was better to avoid trouble. At least, she didn't want to get into trouble before she reached her goal.
Under the gaze of Duan Rong and his wife, Su Li picked up three sticks of incense and lit them. Then she put them into the incense burner. Her movements were rigorous and smooth.
After finishing this step, Su Li didn't think more. She walked to the dry well and opened the gap between the withered grass. Then she jumped into the well alone and soon disappeared from the sight of Duan Rong and his wife.
"Although there is a different world in this well, there is nothing special. I think Doctor Su will come back in a few days. Madam, let's go. We will come back in two days."
Duan Rong said, but the dignified woman shook her head, "I want to stay here and pray for Dou 'er."
Duan Rong was slightly stunned, and then he was moved, "Madam, you are so considerate. I will send someone to arrange it."
…
After Su Li jumped into the well, she quickly landed.
It was dark at the bottom of the well, and no light shone in. Although Su Li saw clearly with her divine awareness, she still took out a lamp to light and held it in her hand according to Black Lotus's request.
"The entrance to the ancestral land is deep here, but the entrance can't be sensed by divine awareness. It must be observed with the naked eye. Take a good look. I am a spiritual body, so I can at most point the way for you, but I don't have eyes to help you see."
Su Li nodded gently and followed the wet passage slowly. She heard the sound of dripping water occasionally, but no other sound came. It seemed that she was isolated from the world.
"The entrance to the ancestral land. Is it like a gate …"
Su Li thought secretly. The spiritual stone lamp in her hand was lit with celestial stones, which illuminated the surrounding area of about ten feet. It was the width of the passage, so she didn't have to stay in one place for too long.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye. Su Li came to the end of the passage, but she didn't find anything.
Although the underground space was strangely large, as Duan Rong said, there was nothing special about it.
Su Li took a breath slightly and looked very calm.
There was a reason why the entrance to the ancestral land could be hidden for thousands of years. It was normal that she couldn't find it at the first try.
Next, Su Li continued to search back and forth, not letting go of any clues.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Su Li stopped and sat on a bare stone, with helplessness in her eyes.
She still didn't find the entrance to the ancestral land.
Black Lotus said that the pneuma in this area was so strong that she could definitely see something extraordinary with the naked eye. She searched every corner and confirmed it again and again, but still found nothing.
Even so, Su Li didn't mean to give up.
After a short rest, Su Li's exhausted mind recovered. She was about to get up and continue to search. Suddenly, she stopped and looked up.
At this moment, her pupils suddenly shrank, and her back was numb.
The passage was so high that it could accommodate three or four people, so Su Li only saw darkness when she looked up occasionally. But it was different this time. When she looked up, she vaguely saw the outline of a large cave with the naked eye. When she spread her divine awareness, she saw a wall.
"Black Lotus!"
Su Li whispered in her heart. Black Lotus immediately rushed out of the ring and looked up excitedly. After his spiritual body sensed the bare wall, he became more excited, "What do you see?"
Su Li tiptoed and wanted to fly up, but was stopped by Black Lotus. She could only condense her soul into her eyes and try to see the outline clearly.
The realm of Perfect Nature Soul was indeed extraordinary. After she condensed all the power of her soul into her eyes, the outline suddenly became clear in her field of vision.
In an instant, Su Li's face changed, and she had goosebumps.
"That is … a coffin!"
