Chapter 216: Confusing
In the haze, a trace of light was reflected on his eyes, Liang Chen opened his eyes slightly, but saw that what he saw was a torch, and it was a torch...... At this moment, the last thing Liang Chen wanted to see was the torch, because where the torch was, it must still be in the underground world. This trip to the Qinling Mountains is not an exaggeration to say that it is to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, for the legendary emperor dragon vein, I never thought that I would pay so much......
"He's awake!"
I don't know who shouted, everyone's eyes turned to Liang Chen's body, Hua Lao smiled and nodded: "Your kid is really fateful, if we don't arrive in time, I'm afraid your kid will have to go to see the king of Hades!"
"Haha! You feng shui masters calculate the heavens and the earth, haven't you calculated for yourself that there will be such a catastrophe?"
Brother Pao lit a cigarette and handed it to Liang Chen.
Liang Chen sat up with difficulty, picked up the cigarette and took a deep breath, and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and muttered to Brother Pao: "I am a feng shui master, and I am not a fortune teller!"
"Haha! You, you don't forget to play poor at such a time!"
Hua Lao couldn't help but smile.
Liang Chen smiled slightly, but soon, the smile instantly converged, as if he thought of something, Liang Chen hurriedly stood up, staggered to stabilize his heels, and asked anxiously: "Where is Qianyu?"
"You mean the girl with you, right?"
Hua Lao was stunned and asked rhetorically, and then said with a wry smile: "It's strange to say, you have been besieged by those five poisonous insects for so long, and when we rescued the two of you, we didn't find half of the poisonous wounds on your body, but that girl, which can be described as scaly wounds all over your body! I can't even understand why the five poisonous insects specifically bite that girl?"
"Huh!"
Liang Chen lowered his head to check his injuries, and sure enough, except for the little strength left in his body, and the sore bone frame, there was nothing else. Hua Lao didn't understand, but Liang Chen understood, where were the five poisonous insects that specifically bit Qianyu, and it was clearly Qianyu who was sacrificing his life to protect him and blocking countless poisonous insect attacks for him.
"She's gone. β
At this moment, Zhuo Yinan shrugged his shoulders and said with a blank face: "I have seen a lot of weirdos, but the 'Qianyu' you said in your mouth is simply weird to the extreme, I just bandaged her wounds, she left with a wound, just leave, let me say, Liang Chen, who are you friends with?"
"She likes to be alone and doesn't like to be busy. β
Liang Chen smiled awkwardly, and after hearing that Bai Qianyu was safe and sound, his heart finally let go. Then he asked Hua Lao, "Hua Lao, shouldn't you be in the Qianling area, why did you come here?"
"Hehe! Coincidentally, we heard that someone found a large tomb at the foot of Taibai Mountain, and many tomb robbers gathered here, so of course we wanted to come and see the excitement. But after searching, the tomb robbers did not find it, and were almost destroyed by the strange creatures in the belly of the mountain. So, when we were ready to leave, we found this!"
After Hua Lao finished speaking, he handed a small bottle of green potion to Liang Chen, and then said: " This thing seems ordinary, but its owner is not very ordinary, I have long heard that there is a group of tomb keepers hiding in this Qinling area, specifically to protect the dragon vein and deal with the tomb robber gang, these tomb keepers have strange abilities, and can manipulate beasts, both mysterious and terrifying, this potion we have tested, it is the excrement of poisonous ants refined from things, and it has the effect of expelling many poisonous insects, originally we just had the mentality of giving it a try, I didn't think about it, it really worked, and it saved your life by mistake!"
"Oh, that's what the grave keeper uses to manipulate the beasts?"
Liang Chen frowned, looking at a small bottle of potion the thickness of his fingers, Liang Chen's eyes widened slightly, he really couldn't imagine that such a small bottle of potion could be so powerful.
"Yes, but I can't figure out how they came up with it, and more importantly, these recipes, no one knows or can find out, and maybe they are a means of survival unique to these grave keepers. β
Hua Lao nodded, as if he had thought of something again, and hurriedly took out something from his pocket: "And this, it's with the potion, you open it and take a look!"
Liang Chen immediately opened a stack of crumpled earthy yellow cloths, only to see a detailed dragon vein map drawn on it. Seeing this, Liang Chen immediately closed it, and asked in astonishment: "This is the dragon vein diagram, and, I, I also have a copy, it seems to be exactly the same as this dragon vein diagram!" As he spoke, Liang Chen took the brocade box from his body, opened it, and showed the human skin scroll under the stunned gaze of everyone.
"This is human skin?!"
"It's too perverted, isn't it?!"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β
Everyone immediately pointed at the human skin scroll and began to discuss, and no one dared to step forward to touch the human skin ancient scroll. However, Hua Lao frowned, stared at the human skin scroll for a long time, slowly stretched out his hand, took it, and carefully studied it for a long time, Hua Lao suddenly turned his head and asked Liang Chen solemnly: "You came here for the purpose of the dragon vein referred to above?"
"Not bad!"
Liang Chen didn't want to hide it anymore, so he calmly agreed.
"No wonder...... No wonder you kid ran away in a hurry, it turns out that you have another purpose. Well, this dragon vein map does have a striking resemblance to that one, but there seems to be something wrong with the details inside!"
Hua Lao lightly broke Liang Chen's purpose, and the words changed and fell on the two identical dragon vein maps, Hua Lao took the opportunity to compare the two dragon vein maps, and nodded again: "That's right, the only difference above is a real dragon vein that is referred to! The dragon vein map we picked up, where the dragon veins are located, has disappeared, and the human skin scroll in your hand ...... But it is clearly marked the location of the dragon vein. β
"The second year of Kangxi?"
Liang Chen suddenly noticed Hua Lao's dragon vein map, and the date of payment on it was obviously the second year of Kangxi.
"Well, it's more than 300 years old from today, but your human skin scroll is very old!"
Hua Lao picked up the human skin scroll and carefully observed it for a long time before nodding and saying: "This human skin has been soaked in a special antiseptic potion, although I can't tell the specific age, but at least in the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, the difference between the two is more than 1,000 years!"
"What does that mean?"
Liang Chen narrowed his eyes, thought for a long time, and then muttered: "The location of the dragon vein marked on the human skin scroll is the same as the position marked on the dragon vein map, but the two are compared with each other, and the latter is missing the dragon vein, is it possible...... The dragon vein has been displaced more than three hundred years ago?!"
"There are nine dragon veins in the world, and there are countless branch veins, since it is the vein of the real dragon, it is naturally a living vein, not a dead vein, of course, it will not stay in the same place all the time!"
Hua Lao brought out everything he knew about the dragon veins in the world: "You are a feng shui master, you must know this better than me." Why, do you think that there really is a true dragon vein under this West Taibai Mountain?"
"If the True Dragon's Vein is displaced, why did the grave keeper bring me here?"
Liang Chen said in a deep voice: "Could it be that they have long known that there is no real dragon vein here, so they brought me here, and set up a net of heaven and earth, wanting me to stay here forever." If...... If that's the case, then I've been led by their nose all along, and I've never escaped their trap!"
"Although you are a smart man, you have absolutely no chance of winning against that mysterious and terrifying grave keeper!"
Hua Lao shook his head: "They have the most primitive, The most wonderful means of survival, Ru Mao drinks blood, eats and sleeps in the open, and eats unimaginable hardships for ordinary people, their existence, the only explanation is to guard the Qinling Mountains from being disturbed by all people, especially the dragon veins hidden in them, this may be their faith, but I can't think of how there is such a belief in this world, but, since I met them, I think I am unlucky, all in all, they have the heart to protect the Qinling Mountains, from the overall situation, it is not a bad thing, at least we don't have to go to great lengths to protect those stolen tombsγ β
"No, even if they are god-like beings, I will tear off their god's cloak this time!"
How do you know that Liang Chen burst out with an angry word without hitting the south wall and not looking back, and glanced at Hua Lao deeply: "Because, they captured my brother Fatty, if the fat man is missing a hair, no matter what kind of grave keeper they are, I will also make them pay the due price!"
"What? They arrested your people? But, but they have not heard from you for a long time, there is no trace, where are we going to save people?"
Hua Lao looked at Liang Chen in shock, and for a while, his mind seemed to be a little more confused, and the things in this didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined...... "Moreover, we don't know what the grave keeper eats on weekdays, and he captured your companion fat man, maybe ...... Maybe we should look for clues, a few of you go your separate ways, and all suspicious clues within a radius of 500 meters cannot be let go!"
But seeing that Hua Lao deliberately diverted the topic, but Liang Chen knew what Hua Lao might mean by the first one, everyone scattered, Liang Chen picked up the two pictures again and compared them, and suddenly, Liang Chen asked Hua Lao again: "Hua Lao, where did you pick up this picture? Such an important thing, how can you say that you can pick it up?"
"I, I don't know! It was like it fell from the sky and hit us. β
Hua Lao smiled bitterly and spread his hands, and in an instant, Hua Lao said anxiously: "Do you mean that someone is deliberately secretly helping you? The other party not only calculated that we would come here, but also calculated that you would definitely see this picture, and more importantly, matched such a bottle of potion......"
Halfway through the words, Hua Lao looked at Liang Chen blankly: "What kind of person will help you so kindly?" After speaking, Hua Lao stared at Liang Chen tightly, as if he wanted to find the answer from Liang Chen's face.
