Chapter 167: Treasure Hunting in the Forbidden Land

Chen Tian and Han Xiang saw that inside the stone gate was a stone room that was not too large, and it was estimated that it was only more than 20 square meters in size.

But the entire stone room was scattered with gold, some were long, ingot-shaped, and what surprised Chen Tian and Hanxiang even more was that there were also those as large as bricks, shining golden yellow under the reflection of the few ever-bright lamps on the wall, making the whole stone room look brilliant.

Hanxiang sighed: "Oh my God, so much gold, I've made a fortune." ”

She immediately ran forward overjoyed, grabbed a handful of gold with both hands and stuffed it into her pocket.

Chen Tian said: "What are you doing, let's only take the purple blood grass, this gold belongs to the Miao family, how can you take it casually?"

Han Xiang's hands couldn't stop at all, and he said: "Cut, isn't the purple blood grass you want also from the Miao family? I heard that this is still the treasure of the Miao family's clan, fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

Chen Tian was dumbfounded, this is indeed the case, why is he not taking the Miao family's things?

So he stopped drinking the incense, and after entering the stone room, he looked for the purple blood grass alone.

But Chen Tian looked around, and there was nothing else here except the gold all over the ground, and he didn't even find the shadow of a medicinal herb, which made him feel surprised.

As we all know, the Purple Blood Grass is in the forbidden land of the Miao family, and the information cannot be wrong.

At this time, Chen Tian noticed the few permanent lamps on the wall, these lamps have relied on an unknown liquid fuel for hundreds of years, which shows that this stone room is ventilated from the outside world, and there is enough oxygen, otherwise the lamps would have gone out long ago.

However, the corridor was too narrow to provide the oxygen burned by the lantern, so there must have been a secret door to the rest of the stone room, a larger space than this one, and connected to the outside world.

Chen Tian thought of this floor, and immediately looked for a mechanism in the stone room that could open the secret door, and he knew very well that whether or not he could open this secret door would become the key to finding the purple blood grass and leaving the forbidden land.

He believed that the mechanism for opening the secret door should also be hidden in the stone chamber, so he began to carefully explore every part of the stone chamber.

Hanxiang was already dazed by the gold all over the ground, and she only blamed herself for not bringing a sack in.

She had stuffed her whole body with gold, and her whole body looked bulging in a circle, which was very funny.

Fortunately, she is strong, and she doesn't feel any hardship with so much gold on her back.

Chen Tian didn't care about what Han Xiang was doing, and was looking for the mechanism of the secret door alone, and he had no time to care about the gold in this place.

As before, Chen Tian banged on the walls, the only difference was that the stone room was well lit, which made it much easier for him to find the mechanism.

The stone chamber was so big, Chen Tian didn't let go of any of the walls, but after all, he didn't find anything.

He once thought that it was his own judgment that he had made a mistake, and perhaps there would be no other passages or stone chambers, but even so, where was the purple blood grass hidden?

With so many questions in mind, he decided to go back the way he came, checking the corridor to see if there were any other mechanisms.

Just as Chen Tian picked up an ever-bright lamp and was about to leave this stone room, Han Xiang, who was squatting on the ground, said in surprise: "Chen Tian, come and see, why is this piece of gold so heavy, you can't pick it up at all." ”

A strong man with a fighting spirit can't afford to hold a piece of gold?Chen Tian thought speechlessly, but still walked towards the place where Han Xiang was squatting.

At this time, Hanxiang desperately pulled this piece of square gold that was partially embedded in the ground, but no matter how hard she tried, this piece of gold still did not move.

Chen Tian was a little surprised, and thought to himself, how is this possible? Could this be the mechanism that opened the secret door of this stone room?

He said to Hanxiang, "You get up first, let me see." ”

Han Xiang left the place, and Chen Tian stepped forward and broke the piece of gold vigorously, a bit like it was poured with the ground, and it was completely impossible to pick it up.

Then he tried to spin, and as Chen Tian expected, this piece of gold was the mechanism of the secret door in the stone room.

The two of them only heard the "rumble" of the mechanism activating, and suddenly a stone door on the side of the stone chamber slowly rose.

Chen Tian was overjoyed, there was indeed another passage here, and he walked towards this stone gate without saying a word.

Han Xiang no longer cherished the gold that could not be contained in this place, and followed Chen Tian into the stone gate.

Chen Tian carried the lantern he had taken from the stone chamber and walked forward cautiously, fearing that he would touch other mechanisms and cause some danger.

After all, for this forbidden place of the Miao family, it was the first time he had set foot in it, and everything had to be careful, not to mention that it was extremely strange here.

By the faint light emitted by the ever-bright lamp, the two found themselves in another corridor, and at a glance, there was an arched stone gate in front of them.

Chen Tian and Han Xiang came to this round stone door after a while, and just as Chen Tian wanted to find the mechanism that opened the stone door, this stone door suddenly rose on its own, and an unpleasant musty smell came out.

The two subconsciously covered their mouths and noses and slowly walked towards the stone gate.

As soon as I passed through the round stone door, rows of permanent lamps on the walls inside lit up one after another.

This startled Han Xiang, and immediately grabbed the corner of Chen Tian's clothes and hid behind him.

Then the two of them were greeted by an empty stone room, which was obviously several times larger than the previous stone room full of gold.

But there is no gold here, let alone other treasures, except for the dozens of inexplicably lit lanterns on the wall, there is also a sarcophagus in the middle of the stone room, giving people an eerie feeling.

Chen Tian dropped the lantern in his hand and walked towards the sarcophagus.

Han Xiangliu frowned, and asked puzzledly: "Chen Tian, there must be someone living here? Otherwise, how could this lamp suddenly turn on? Also, will there be a corpse lying in this sarcophagus, this is also too scary." ”

Chen Tian said with a smile: "Why this ever-bright lamp lit up on its own, I don't know, maybe there was enough oxygen for it to rekindle when the stone gate was opened." And what's inside this sarcophagus, you can know when you open it. ”

Hanka said, "Wait... Wait, what are you talking about? You're going to open this dead man's coffin? This is a great disrespect to the deceased, and it must not be opened. ”

Chen Tian smiled: "What's the matter, are you still afraid of ghosts?"

Han Xiang said angrily: "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of the king of heaven, I'm just talking about things." ”

Chen Tian said: "Since you are not afraid, then don't stop me from opening the coffin." ”

Hanxiang hesitated for a moment and said, "Uh...... Chen Tian, I think it's better not to open it, it's really a little scary. ”

Chen Tian shook his head and sighed: "You are still a strong man, you are even afraid of a dead person, you are really speechless." ”

While speaking, Chen Tian was already standing beside the sarcophagus, ready to open the sarcophagus.

Han Xiang understood that it was impossible to get Chen Tian to give up opening the coffin, so he had to let him go.

What if this sarcophagus is not a hundred-year-old corpse, but a treasure?

With fear and curiosity, Han Xiang followed closely behind Chen Tian.

Chen Tian put his palms on the lid of the coffin and pushed hard, and the sound of rubbing stones sounded.

He struggled and said, "Come and do me a favor, this thing is too heavy." ”

Hanxiang hesitated and said in a daze: "I... I... Hey, okay. ”

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes and put her hands on the lid of the coffin, urging the fighting energy in her body to protect her whole body, afraid that a hundred-year-old zombie would suddenly jump out of the sarcophagus.

The two of them used all their strength to finally open the lid of the coffin halfway, but there was no body in the sarcophagus, but nothing, which made Hanxiang's hanging heart suddenly fall.

Chen Tian picked up the everlasting lamp that had just been thrown aside, put it in the sarcophagus and looked inside.

I saw that there was a round stone plate attached to the coffin wall, and he did not hesitate to turn the round stone plate around, and then the sound of "click" came from the bottom of the sarcophagus.

The stone slab at the bottom of the coffin suddenly moved to the side, and a stone staircase extending underground appeared in front of the two of them.

Han Xiang said impatiently: "This Miao family ancestor dares to be full of food, and arranging so many dark rooms scares me, let's go." ”

With that, she got into the sarcophagus and walked slowly down the stairs.

Chen Tian looked confused, he was afraid just now, but now he is so bold again?

Seeing that Han Xiang's whole person was submerged in the sarcophagus, Chen Tian immediately jumped in and followed.

The two of them saw that it was a spiral staircase, which continued downward, and each wondered what was underneath.

When they went to the lowest floor, they found that it was a stone chamber of nearly 500 square meters.

The everlasting lamp on the stone wall was also instantly lit, illuminating the entire stone chamber.

When Chen Tian saw the scene in this large stone room, he immediately became excited.

There are all kinds of exotic grasses growing here, and the stone walls are covered with Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, and dendrobium, all of which are wild and at least a few hundred years old.

Chen Tian thought that he was dazzled, because there was no sunlight in the stone room all day long, and why there were so many rare and exotic grasses alive, he really couldn't figure it out for a while.

But now is not the time to think about this, since there are so many herbs here, then the purple blood grass must be among them.

Chen Tian tiptoed along, afraid of stepping on those herbs on the ground, every herb here is a treasure, even if he has money, it is difficult to buy them on the market.

After searching for a while, he finally saw two plants with purple bodies, five-finger-shaped leaves, and a length of about twenty centimeters.

Their leaves also have a bright red liquid flowing from their leaves, like animal blood, which seeps into the ground drop by drop, dyeing the entire stone chamber bright red for hundreds of years.

Seeing this scene, Chen Tian finally understood that the reason why these precious herbs could grow here was because the bright red juice of the Purple Blood Grass continuously provided them with enough nutrients.

However, purple blood grass itself is suitable for growing in a dark and damp environment, and if exposed to sunlight, it will wilt and wither.

It can be seen that every herb here relies on those two purple blood plants to survive.

Originally, Chen Tian planned to take these two purple blood grasses away, but considering this, he hesitated.

If these herbs were left without the nutrients of the purple blood grass, they would die not long after, and if that was the case, it would be a great pity.

After thinking about it again, Chen Tian decided to take only one of them, so he lightly went to the two purple blood plants and pulled out one of them.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tian found a plant called Falling Spirit Grass and was immediately overjoyed.

Because it is a miracle medicine for rheumatism, this herb has only been recorded in ancient books, and the world has long been ignorant of its existence.

Chen Tian didn't expect that such a miracle medicine was still growing in this forbidden place of the Miao family, and thought to himself, grandpa's rheumatoid arthritis could be cured in advance.

Without hesitation, he picked the Falling Spirit Grass and hid it in his arms.

Later, he picked a lot of wild Ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus and dendrobium on the stone wall, while keeping their roots.

Chen Tian wanted to bring such a rare herb to Tianlong Island for cultivation, and he was ready for an emergency.

He took off his coat and laid it on the ground, arranging the herbs one by one on top of his coat until several layers were piled up, and then the coat was wrapped into a package.

Han Xiang was obviously not as interested in the plants in this place as she was in gold, and she was sitting leisurely on the stairs not far away at the moment, quietly watching Chen Tian.

This handsome man has long occupied an important position in Han Xiang's heart, and the more he looks at it, the more interesting it becomes.

Chen Tian inadvertently glanced at Han Xiang, and suddenly said, "Han Xiang, take off your coat quickly." ”

Han Xiang was pulled back from her thoughts, and immediately put her hands on her chest, and said in a daze: "Chen... Chen Tian, what do you want to do?"
