Chapter 174: Rendezvous
I went back to the stone building and looked at it again, and took some stone carvings from it, and I found a silk painting in that layer of books, bamboo slips, and then I didn't get anything. Then, following the instructions of the probe, I found Dery and them, and Dery seemed very excited about returning to the team, and asked me what strange things I had encountered.www.biquge.info At this time, they were hiding on the other side of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the number of people was not as large as before, in my impression there were originally 24 people, except for their team of 23 people, there were only 20 people left.
Earlier Dery said that there were 3 people missing, and the team should be 20 people, but now that I'm back in the team, the number of people is still 20, and one more person is missing.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the camp was a little heavy, and the missing people were 2 of Shan Zhufei's men, 1 of Yin Hu's men, and one of Xie Men's apprentices. As soon as I came back, I was naturally looking for Dery, and I didn't want to disturb the others, but the book spirit of the Hearsay Record passed on to me a kind of talisman that could hide all my qi.
Briefly talk to Dery about my general experience after leaving the team, maybe I said it too bizarrely, I'm afraid that Dery won't believe me. Now I am in a state where I vaguely remember but am very vague, obviously very familiar, but I can't remember, and it is normal to talk nonsense.
I gave the detector back to Dery and asked him to see what the images were scanned from the detector and what the shapes of the faces meant. I still think about that stone building from time to time, and I always feel that some things have been missed by me, but I can't say that I don't have them, if I bring these people, the harvest will be greater.
I started researching the wooden box, and I thought that the secret in the wooden box was huge, and if I could open it, I might be able to make a big gain. The wooden box is unlocked in a unique way, the key is partially made of bronze, and the exterior is sealed with special beeswax. After all this time, the beeswax became as crystal clear as amber, ensuring that the keyhole would not be clogged.
"Black cat, I heard that you are back, and leaving the team without permission is a violation of the rules." Two people walked into the tent, and it was one of them who spoke, about 50 years old with glasses, and he judged in his heart that this person was Professor Li, and the person beside him who was full of evil spirit was probably Yinhu. I still have an impression of them, but I have an impression, and my memory is still a little confusing in terms of matching names and people.
I couldn't unlock the lock of the wooden box for the time being, and when I saw Professor Li coming, I was a little embarrassed and said, "Actually, I just wanted to walk away for a while, but I didn't expect to encounter some accidents, so I got separated from the team." By the time I was ready to look for you, everyone had gone far and I had found something interesting, so I came back late, and you were well-informed, so let's take a look at this and I'll explain the rest later. ”
I held the wooden box in my hand and held it up, the dirt on the surface of the wooden box had been cleaned up, and the exposed lines looked very special. In addition to some decorative patterns, the four sides of the wooden box are engraved with different patterns, and the material has been identified by dery, which belongs to a very rare sandalwood "blood sandalwood". This blood sandalwood is very scarce and needs to be irrigated with the blood of beasts to grow, and the growth rate is very slow, so it only needs to be watered once or twice a year. Every year, when it reaches a certain period, sandalwood will automatically be emitted, and the surrounding snakes, insects, rats and ants will stay away.
In ancient times, this kind of blood sandalwood had a very high status among the tribes, and it was usually only seen during sacrifices.
"This... This is.... ”
Professor Li looked at the wooden box in my hand, like a hungry wolf seeing meat, his eyes glowed green, and he couldn't even speak. Seeing his hungry expression, I was so frightened that I subconsciously retracted my hand. Then, Dery took his computer, also walked over, showed it to Professor Li, and said, "Professor Li is here, look at these pictures, the black cat found it outside, it feels a little interesting." ”
Professor Li had wanted to snatch the wooden box from me, but was attracted by Dery's words and saw a few pictures from the scanner. His face changed and he exclaimed, "How is it possible, this is like a way of recording documents, and there is also an introduction to racial culture." Black cat, where did you find all these things, is there any danger in that place... ”
"Ugh! It's a long story, but these pictures and this wooden box were taken from a stone building, and the place is a bit special, so I can't say the specifics. I also went in by chance, and in the second direction on the first floor of the stone building, they were all these murals, and I scanned them all. I haven't been to the second floor of the stone building or above, and the stone gate seems to be broken, and you need to destroy the stone gate when you go up. ”
I walked over to Dery, took the scanner, and scanned the drawings. Pointing to a pair of middle and said: "This one is the stone carving on the stone door, I thought it was a pity to destroy it so much, and I happened to bring Dery's scanner, so I recorded it and kept it for slow study." ”
"Good, good! You've done a great job, and I won't pursue your unauthorized departure, but you have to lend me these things for research. Professor Li's face was full of smiles, and I had an unreal feeling when I heard that tone, and the information about Professor Li in my memory seemed to be locked, and I couldn't help frowning.
This wooden box was of little use in my hands, so since Professor Li liked it, I gave it to him. I said, "Professor Li, since you are interested in this, I will leave it to you to study, but you have to inform me as soon as you find anything." ”
"Deal."
When Professor Li saw that I had agreed, he quickly ran over and snatched the wooden box from my hand, and held it in his hand as if he were looking at some kind of treasure. However, this wooden box is indeed a treasure, not to mention the year, just to say that the material of this blood sandalwood is absolutely rare in the world.
After solving Professor Li, the commander-in-chief of this whereabouts on the side had a cold face and said, "Black cat, you have done it for Professor Li, it is not so easy for me to get over here." If you don't give me a reasonable explanation now, I won't let you go. ”
Yinhu was standing there with a sinister face at the moment, giving people the feeling that no matter what I said, it would be useless. But I've already thought of this countermeasure, and I can't use hard ones to deal with this Yinhu, but only soft ones. He took out a Geosha Order from his pocket, threw it to Yinhu, and said, "This is what I found in that place, you can see if it belongs to the missing person in your team, or the relics of the previous team." ”
The token was taken by Yin Hu, I could see the slight change on his face, Yin Hu glanced at me coldly, put away the token and walked out. Before walking out of the battalion commander, he said: "You have passed, but you have to tell you later about where you have been, and if you find anything, you have to tell everyone again." ”
Yin Hu left after speaking, holding the token in his hand and looking very excited. After Yinhu left, Professor Li requisitioned our tent for the convenience of work, mainly because I was unwilling to let him take the wooden box. Dery's computer and detector are even more impossible, there are a lot of Dery's personal things in them, and when Professor Li is researching, Dery is watching from the sidelines, as if he has become his new assistant.
I got bored, remembered that there were other things I had learned from the stone building, and pulled a scroll out of my backpack. This is the only painting left on the stone table that can still be seen, the material of this painting is like silk, the hand is still tough to the touch, and it smells a faint fragrance, it must have been soaked in a special potion.
The silk depicts a city, and a strange-looking tree grows in the middle of the city, and there are many alien people living in the city. This tree faintly gave me a sense of familiarity, it was in my previous memories, and the message it conveyed deep down was fear.
Then I walked around the camp and set up a talisman in some places called the "Evil Breaking Rune Array", which would make a noise whenever an evil thing approached. This is a kind of low-level rune array arranged with yang talismans, which only has an effect on the evil spirit, and the yang energy in the talisman array reacts with the yin energy on the evil body, resulting in a thundering effect. There are a large number of realgar, cinnabar, and sulfur in the backpack, and some parts are buried in several key points around it, and with the direction of the eight trigrams, the breath of realgar, cinnabar, and sulfur permeates the entire camp.
I wanted to know my old self and asked Dery, firstly, he is busier now, and he gives me the impression that he is not as meticulous in his observations as Giselle. Second, I found that Giselle is a relatively low-key person, and in general, Giselle observes what she sees and analyzes it, and does not express it until she reaches a conclusion. The combination of Dery and Giselle is weird, with Drey excelling at networking and funny, with mediocre combat capabilities. And Giselle is good at scouting, and it's easy to ignore her when she's with Dery, and when you think of her, maybe your own situation has been figured out by her, and she has a strong personal combat ability.
