Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

"Huh? There is a small crack here!" I couldn't help but feel very surprised, and my eyes were immediately attracted by this crack.

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the tombstone didn't seem to be completely firmly attached to the ground. Could it be that it held some hidden secret, perhaps even one that could be unlocked? This thought welled up in my mind.

With full of curiosity, my eyes were fixed on the slit, and my mind was thinking as fast as lightning.

Could this be the Blood Knife King's hidden treasure? The more I thought about it, the more I became tantalized, and I decided to explore it myself.

So, I squatted down and carefully began to poke at the dirt in front of the tombstone. As the dirt was gradually moved away, the gap gradually became clearer. As I had initially imagined, there was a gap between the tombstone and the ground, large enough for a finger to fit through.

Without hesitation, I slowly reached into the gap. However, when I tried to push the tombstone, it didn't budge at all, as if held firmly in place by a mysterious force. Despite this, I could still sense through the touch of my fingers that there was nothing underneath.

Since ordinary strength can't move it, let's use all my strength! I took a deep breath and pushed again with all my strength. Only to hear a loud "boom", I finally succeeded in flipping the tombstone over.

Just then, Li Ling, who had been sitting quietly nearby, heard the commotion and hurried over. We both looked under the tombstone, wanting to see what was hidden inside.

Sure enough, everything was just as we had guessed before. When I carefully moved the tombstone, there was a hole underneath.

However, to everyone's surprise, the expected secret passage leading deep underground did not appear here. Instead, there was an iron box lying quietly inside, and a red-covered book.

With full of curiosity and anticipation, I slowly squatted down, first reached out to pick up the notebook, and then focused my eyes on the iron box below.

Looking closely, I saw that the surface of the iron box was already rusty, and the traces of time were clearly visible. It was obvious that it had gone through a lot of ups and downs.

Despite this, it still exudes an indescribable mysterious atmosphere, as if silently telling an unknown past, which makes people yearn for it and eager to know what kind of precious treasures or shocking secrets are hidden in this box.

Unable to suppress my inner urge, I reached out my hands without hesitation and took the iron box out of the grave. After placing it on the ground, I moved closer and examined it more carefully.

I soon discovered that the box seemed to be locked, and the key I had found earlier came in handy. I quickly took out the key, carefully inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it gently. With a crisp "click", the lock cylinder opened.

So he opened the iron box, and what appeared before his eyes were a lot of jewels and gold coins. It seemed that this was the treasure house of the Blood Knife King.

"Wow, the amount of gold coins and jewels here is simply jaw-dropping!" Li Ling stood aside, her eyes as big as copper bells, her mouth opened into an O shape, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Her pretty face was filled with disbelief, clearly having never seen such a vast amount of gold, silver, and treasure. I, on the other hand, quietly gazed at the iron box filled with riches, my heart not filled with the same turmoil as Li Ling's. After all, given my status, these mere jewels weren't enough to make me lose my composure and become deeply enmeshed.

"From the looks of it, this must be the Blood Knife King's treasure house. Judging by its size, it's clear he must have plundered countless people's wealth. But what's the purpose of this red book beneath the tombstone? Is there something important written in it?"

I murmured thoughtfully, my eyes immediately falling on the bright red notebook. Driven by strong curiosity, I carefully closed the iron box again, then slowly reached out and gently picked up the red notebook next to it.

Li Ling came over and looked at the book with curiosity. It looked like a diary, and the content was quite rich, with dense text filling page after page.

We were so engrossed in reading that time seemed to stand still. Before we knew it, a long while had passed until we had finally finished reading the entire red book.

When I closed the last page, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It turns out that there are so many unknown stories about this Blood Knife King."

In fact, the content of this book mainly records the story of the Blood Knife King’s wife Liu.

In the distant past, Liu and the Blood Knife King had known each other. They had been companions since childhood, childhood sweethearts. As time passed, their bond deepened with age, eventually marrying and having a son.

Unfortunately, at that time, their family was very poor and had almost no money, so they had never held a wedding. They originally wanted to work hard to earn money and hold a grand wedding for Liu, but fate played a cruel joke on them.

A sudden natural disaster struck the place where they lived, houses collapsed, fields were destroyed, and people were displaced. At the same time, a group of ferocious and brutal monsters took advantage of the situation and attacked them.

Faced with such a horrific disaster, the Blood Knife King's family fought hard, but they were outnumbered and outmatched. After a fierce battle, all but one of them, Blood Knife King, Liu, and his son, survived.

From then on, the Blood Knife King, Liu Shi, and his son relied on each other and supported each other as they struggled to survive in this dangerous world. The Blood Knife King knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect the people he loved.

So, he practiced martial arts day and night, constantly improving his strength, and at the same time worked to earn money, all in order to hold a wedding for his wife and live a happy life as a family of three.

With his extraordinary talent and unremitting efforts, the Blood Knife King finally reached the pinnacle of martial arts step by step, becoming the famous Blood Knife King in the martial arts world, and also accumulated a lot of savings.

They thought their days would continue peacefully, but fate dealt them another heavy blow. One day, Liu suddenly fell seriously ill and was bedridden. The Blood Knife King was extremely worried and sought medical help everywhere.

Although he was well-known and popular in the underworld, he did not save much because he was an upright and kind person who never bothered to make money through improper means.

In order to treat Liu's illness, the Blood Knife King spent all his money and even sold valuable items in his home, but the money was just a drop in the bucket compared to the expensive medical expenses.

Seeing Liu's condition worsening, Blood Knife King felt heartbroken. He begged the doctor to save his wife, even if it meant just a little longer. But the doctor was powerless. After all, a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Without enough money to buy precious herbs, even the most skilled doctors could not perform their duties.

On the last day before his wife's death, he and his wife held a simple wedding at home with his son as the witness, because this was Liu's last dream before her death, she wanted to leave as the wife of the Blood Knife King.
