Chapter 93, The Odd Stone Mill

Three months later, Chen Miao sat cross-legged at the foot of the cliff and carefully comprehended the sword book.

In the past three months, Chen Miao has been quite hard, in addition to fighting poison with poison every day, it is to study the sword spectrum.

According to the Danfang given by the blood factor at the beginning, the refined detoxification powder was also taken a lot.

Its medicinal effect can be said to be minimal, only a little better than the effect of fighting poison with poison, at least it doesn't have to be so painful.

At this moment, the young man in gray suddenly ran up and said in a somewhat breathless voice.

"Brother Miao! The head of the sect and the village chief called you over, saying that there is something important to discuss!"

Hearing this, Chen Miao hurriedly put away the sword book in his hand, turned his head and asked.

"Where are they?"

The young man in gray sat on the ground, let out a few long breaths, and hurriedly spoke.

"It's in your yard! They're waiting there!"

Chen Miao hurriedly got up and ran towards the courtyard at a very fast speed.

It only took five minutes for Chen Miao to come to the courtyard, where there were more than a dozen people waiting.

"I've seen all the elders!"

The Great Elder hurriedly arched his hand, his face full of smiles.

"Chen Miao is here, let's go! Let's go inside and talk!"

The Great Elder led the way and led everyone to the study, only to see his right hand gently placed on the wall tiles, and pressed it violently, and the wall tiles directly sunken in.

With a bang, the floor tiles on the left side retracted, revealing a stone staircase passage with oil lamps lit on both sides of the passage, and the road inside was clearly visible.

The rest of the elders walked down without hesitation, and Chen Miao followed closely behind, slowly entering the underground passage.

Not long after leaving, Chen Miao saw a wide hall, there was a long table in the hall, a map on the table, a dozen mahogany chairs next to the table, the village chief and the cheap father, the three of them were discussing something, and there were closed stone doors around them.

Don't think about it, there must be warehouses behind the stone gate.

Chen Tianyu heard the footsteps, slowly raised his head, and said lightly.

"You're all here! We're talking about it! You're here to give me a comment!"

Chen Miao stepped forward to take a look, it was a very detailed geographical map, with four big characters written on the right side, Cangzhou boundary.

A mountain peak on the map was circled, and Chen Tianyu was pointing at this peak with his right hand.

"We've all been to this tomb before! everyone knows something, let's explain it to Miao'er now!"

As soon as Chen Miao heard the word tomb, she quickly cheered up and hurriedly asked.

"Daddy means that we're going to rob the tomb this time?"

Chen Tianyu nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.

"We're going to rob tombs to be exact, but can we be tactful? These things are buried in the ground and can't see the light! We're doing a good deed to make them see the light of day!"

Chen Miao saw that Chen Tianyu was brainwashing herself, and hurriedly spoke.

"I understand the reason! I don't know what the arrangements are for this time!"

Chen Tianyu frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said slowly.

"The first time you go to the grave, you don't need to do anything!

Chen Miao nodded, then stopped speaking, Chen Tianyu pointed to the circle on the map, and continued to speak.

"This place is the tomb of King Qi! It is said that it is not the King of Qi himself who is buried inside, but the descendants of King Qi!"

"We went there last time twenty people, and a dozen of us came out! The rest died in the grave!"

"Last time we were in the south, this time we chose the north!

When Chen Miao heard this, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly asked.

"Did you bring anything out last time?"

Chen Tianyu thought about it carefully when he heard this, and then quickly nodded and said.

"I did bring things out! But some of them have been disposed of! Now there's only one thing left like a stone grinder!"

Chen Miao touched her chin, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly asked.

"Where's this stone mill? Can you move over and take a look?"

Chen Tianyu's face was full of doubts, and he asked rhetorically.

"What do you want this for? What's there to see?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Miao's mouth, pointed to the circle on the map, and said lightly.

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles! Maybe you can bring something out of it! Find a breakthrough!"

Chen Tianyu hurriedly turned around and opened a stone door and took out a stone mill inside.

"It's this stone grinder!

Chen Tianyu put it on the ground, and Chen Miao slowly stepped forward and began to release his divine sense to check.

At this glance, there was really a slight discovery, and a faint mana fluctuation came from this stone mill.

Chen Miao squatted down, looked at the stone mill carefully, and did not let go of the slightest, only to see that the stone mill was surrounded by dense patterns.

Chen Miao slowly released his divine sense and entered the stone skin, and then his face was full of surprise.

"These patterns are actually words! But I only know a few of the words on them!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly came over to take a look, but everyone only saw that it was just a pattern, and there was no so-called text.

"These are obviously patterns, so how can there be any words?"

Chen Miao shook her head, pointed to the pattern on it, and said slowly.

"This is a Xuan character! This is a left word! This is a machine character. ”

Everyone was confused, and Chen Miao continued to point to the words below and said.

"This is an inner word, this is a dry word, this is a Kun word, this is a word!"

Chen Miao lowered her head and pondered carefully, took out a knife, and carved these words one by one.

"Xuan, stay, machine, inside, Qian, Kun, there is!"

Everyone looked down at the words carved out by Chen Miao, and whispered silently.

Chen Miao heard Chen Tianyu's voice, her face changed, and she hurriedly spoke.

"Daddy, what did you just read?"

Chen Tianyu was a little confused, and hurriedly spoke.

"The mystery is left, and there is a lot of luck inside!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Miao's mouth, and she said slowly.

"No! It should be a good thing inside! You look at the direction depicted in these characters, they are all southeast, northwest, northwest!"

Everyone looked carefully, and began to ponder slowly in the order of Chen Miao's fingers, and they all got an answer.

"This thing has a lot of things inside!

Chen Miao released his divine sense, and began to look at every inch and every inch.

Chen Miao was surprised to find that there were some tight holes around this lovelorn, like a coiling dragon, one after another.

These holes are the size of a needle's eye, and if you don't look closely, it's really hard to find.

"Alright, find a blacksmith to make an iron bucket with a thickness of one foot, and cover this stone mill! Make a triangular hole at the bottom of it, and the position corresponds to this!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they didn't know what Chen Miao was trying to do? The second elder couldn't help but ask.

"Chen Miao, what do you want to do with an iron bucket? We have it in our village! But there is no such thick one!"

Chen Miao carefully observed the triangular hole on the top, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Of course it's unlocked! Otherwise, how can you see the inside of it?"

When the Great Elder heard this, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of lightness, and he patted Chen Miao's shoulder.

"This unlocking! We've got a master here! What are you doing with an iron bucket?"

Chen Miao was a little speechless, so she had to spread her hands and speak truthfully.

"It's not trivial here, there are mechanisms, and there may be poison above the mechanisms!

When everyone heard this, they all took a few steps back, away from the seemingly ordinary stone mill, as if avoiding a snake and scorpion.

The village chief's eyes widened, and he pointed to the stone mill and asked.

"Is there really a mechanism here? And it's poisonous?"

Chen Miao looked at the expression of the village chief, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she pointed to Xiao Kong and said slowly.

"Look at these dense holes, if I guessed correctly, they should be needle-like hidden weapons, and there is residual purple powder in the holes, which should be the so-called poison!"

The village chief squinted his eyes and took a closer look, nodded slightly, and hurriedly spoke.

"Then go to the blacksmith and forge an iron bucket!"

Chen Miao nodded, thought about it, and hurriedly said to the village chief.

"Village chief, your legs and feet are fast! Go to the blacksmith! This iron bucket must be thick and sized enough! Otherwise, you will die!"

The village chief ran towards the exit of the passage, and thought to himself, "You kid is faster than me, and you actually let me run errands!"

Although the village chief thought so in his heart, his footsteps did not mean to stop in the slightest.

"Okay! Wrap it up on me! Nothing will go wrong!"

After the village chief left, Chen Miao slowly stood up, walked quickly to the long wooden table, and raised his hand to point to the map on it.

"If we untie the stone mill, maybe it will help this! At least we'll get some information, and we'll all have a good idea in our hearts!"

When everyone heard this, it seemed that what Chen Miao said was very reasonable, and they all nodded and pondered the circles on the map.

After three hours, under the joint research of everyone, a plan was finally sorted out.

That is to enter from the north cave mouth, because the south cave mouth entered in the early years, according to the great elder, in the early years of entering not far away, a large number of blood corpses were found, and there was no way but to flee from the wind.

Today's southern entrance has long been blown up, and if you want to enter the interior, you have to go to the north to reopen the hole.

At this moment, the village chief walked over slowly holding a large iron bucket, and looked at it like this, the weight of the large iron bucket was quite sufficient.

"Chen Miao, the big iron bucket you want has been built, do you think it's appropriate?"

The village chief put the big iron bucket on the ground, Chen Miao stepped forward and tapped it gently, visually measured the thickness of the barrel, and nodded slightly.

"It shouldn't be a big problem! Get out of the way! Stand far away!"

Chen Miao picked up the big iron bucket, covered the stone grinder, and the two triangular holes were aligned, barely matching, and hurriedly turned his head to look at everyone.

"Who gave me a hairpin?"

The third elder hurriedly stepped forward, and took out a dagger from his waist with his right hand, this dagger was slender, only as wide as an index finger, but the length was only about ten centimeters.

"I don't have an iron hairpin, I don't know if this thing can replace it!"

Chen Miao hurriedly took the dagger, compared it slightly with Xiao Kong, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Yes! There should be no problem! You all stand a little further back! I'm afraid that I won't be able to control this meeting for a while!"

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Chen Miao held the dagger in his hand, jumped up in the air in an upside-down posture, inserted the dagger into the triangular hole, and then violently pressed downward.

"Woo Woo Woo~"

A series of metal crashes were heard, rhythmically like a sewing machine running.

Looking at the surface of the iron bucket again, dense bumps appeared, like a big hedgehog.

The sound of metal striking lasted for about twenty seconds before it slowly stopped.

Then, there was a soft clicking sound from inside the bucket, as if something had shattered.

Chen Miao carefully removed the iron bucket, only to see that the inside of the iron bucket was full of steel needles several inches long.

Inside the iron bucket, there is a large amount of purple liquid, and some of the metal has been corroded.

An unpleasant smell filled his nose, making people a little dizzy, Chen Miao felt abnormal, and hurriedly exclaimed.

"Be careful, it's poisonous!"

Chen Miao raised his hand and threw away a jade bottle, and everyone present took the jade bottle, poured out a few pills, and stuffed them into their mouths.

Chen Miao unhurriedly took the big iron bucket away and checked the stone grinder inside.

At this moment, the stone mill had become a pile of broken pieces, shrunk by nearly one-third, and Chen Miao picked up the dagger and slowly stirred up the broken stones.

Something in the stone was revealed, shaped like a disc, about the thickness of a dagger, and its whole body was like white jade, with dense runes engraved on it.
