Chapter 40: Revisiting the Cave
"That's right! There is indeed a secret-" Gong Yehan showed a trace of sadness on his face, and said in a quiet tone: "Thirteen years ago, my father became a three-branch divine craftsman and became famous, so he was given the chief court craftsman by Emperor Xia Ying, responsible for building the imperial mausoleum for him......"
"Oh? It turned out to be the Imperial Tomb! Sannan seemed a little surprised, and he began to have a hunch that this secret might not be so simple.
Emperor Xia Ying should have started to build his own mausoleum according to the mausoleum site selected by the first emperor, but he suddenly abandoned the original site and changed it to Chaoyang Mountain in the Yuquan Mountains. Although my father was strange in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only do it.
The scale of the imperial mausoleum is large, this construction is ten years, my father eats and lives in the imperial mausoleum every day, and can only go home once a month. When my father came home, I noticed that his expression was a little gloomy, so I couldn't help but ask the reason, but I didn't expect my father to tell an amazing secret! Gong Yehan said this in one breath, and suddenly stopped, his body trembling slightly.
"What is the secret that makes Gong Yehan so out of shape?" Sannan thought to himself again.
Gongye Han took a few deep breaths, and then said in a sad voice: "It turned out that during the construction process, one day, there was a leak in the attached hall, and my father didn't dare to report it after knowing it, but secretly organized people to carry out major repairs, who would have thought that a secret passage was found in the attached hall!" This secret passage is extremely long, thousands of meters from the ground, and there are more than 50 corpses in it, all of which are craftsmen known to my father, who were transferred away before, but I didn't expect all of them to die in the secret passage. My father and his craftsmen knew in their hearts that since there was such a secret passage in the imperial tomb, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape death, so they agreed with each other to inform their descendants to flee the imperial capital when they returned home......"
"After that, we, the descendants of the craftsmen, met in the city and fled together. At first, we planned to go east to the sea to avoid the limelight, but before we reached the beach, the officers and men of Kasha were already offering rewards for our arrest. We had no choice but to take a detour, hide all the way to Tibet, flee in all directions, and as a result, more than 100 people died and scattered, until they were captured alive by a gang of slave traders, and there were only so many people left! We didn't dare to say who we were, so they were transported here as slaves......"
Gongye Han said what happened to him with a red eye, thinking that his family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, life and death were unknown at the moment, and he had also become a slave from a high-profile master of three disciplines, the gap was so big, the change was so fast, it was like a nightmare! I couldn't help but feel sad and tears poured down.
After listening to Gong Yehan's narration, Sang Nan couldn't help but feel in his heart, in fact, what happened to him was not like this? It's just that he hasn't given up the fight yet.
He looked at Gong Yehan, who had a look of despair on his face, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I won't exchange you for a bounty, you can do things here with peace of mind in the future, and no one will come to disturb you!" ”
Hearing Sang Nan's words, Gong Yehan cried for a moment, and his face was slightly stunned, but when he saw Sang Nan's sincere and clear eyes, he confirmed that he had heard correctly, and he was so excited that he bowed his head and bowed!
"Thank you for taking it in!"
"Alright, get up!" Sang Nan helped Gongye Han up, and said to him in a calm tone: "You are a master craftsman in the three disciplines, and you are knowledgeable, we need you here." Please think about it carefully, how to improve our strength, after all, the only thing we need to do now is how to survive, I hope you can prove your worth! ”
"But before that, I'm going to take you somewhere!" Seeing Gong Yehan's thoughtful expression, Sang Nan suddenly said mysteriously, "I can guarantee that you will definitely be interested there!" ”
……
Entering the cave space again, Sang Nan made full preparations, and in addition to Mei Jingfeng, Sosa, Qiu Ye, and Mei Dongen, there were also 20 members of the Li Battalion, 30 young guards, and 10 craftsmen led by Gong Yehan, and also carried a large amount of food, fresh water, tents, bags and other supplies.
The reason for choosing the Li Battalion is mainly because if there is a battle in the cave, the members of the Li Battalion who are good at foot combat will have an advantage.
At the beginning, the passage was too narrow, so Sang Nan asked Gong Yehan to find someone to enlarge the entrance of the cave in advance, so that the process of everyone entering the cave was very smooth, but even so, these tall Li Battalion members could only move forward in a half-squat.
The silver sable still ran alone in front, while the others walked through the long dark passage with nervousness, curiosity, and excitement, and half an hour later, a dreamlike underground space appeared in front of everyone......
Everyone was suddenly collectively petrified!
Strange glowing crystals, colorful stone walls, gorgeous and colorful plants, dazzling and charming light curtains...... Although it was the second time he had seen everything in front of him, Sang Nan still had a feeling that it was not very real.
At this moment, everyone without exception was deeply shocked by everything in front of them, first their eyes were glazed, and then they were flashing with brilliance, they could hardly believe that they were in an underground world thousands of meters above the ground, such a beautiful and charming world!
The silver sable let out a cheerful cry and ran quickly in the direction of the colorful lotus. The crowd was attracted by its cry, and gradually came back to their senses!
"Creation of nature, the sky cannot be taken away!" Looking at everything in front of her, Mei let out a deep sigh!
"Childe, this kind of place can actually be found by you, is there any heavenly reason!" Qiu was also full of excitement, looking like he was cheap and behaved.
Sosa looked a little puzzled.
"Let's team up to investigate around first, remember not to go far, and don't touch it casually!" Sang Nan solemnly admonished everyone, and said to Mei Jingfeng and Sosa: "Come with me!" After speaking, he walked in the direction of the colorful lotus.
At this time, the silver sable was lying comfortably under the branches and leaves of the colorful lotus, and when he saw the three of Sang Nan coming over, he was slightly vigilant, as if he was worried that his treasure would be snatched away. The corpse of the strange frog was still not far away, and Sang Nan remembered that he had a strange illness that day, and his heart was still palpitating, but he still took a piece of the flesh of the strange frog and put it in a porcelain bottle.
"Have you ever seen this strange frog before?" Sang Nan asked, pointing to the corpse of the strange frog.
Among the group, Mei and Sosa were well-informed, especially Sosa, who was born in the temple and was extremely knowledgeable, and if they had heard of it, they would have a little more hope of solving the strange disease.
However, after the two of them looked at it with amazement, they both shook their heads and denied that they had seen it, and Sang Nan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw this.
"This is called the Colorful Lotus, which is said to be a holy spirit grass that can improve people's physique. Have you heard of it before? He didn't give up, and pointed to the colorful lotus and asked.
saw that the two of them also shook their heads.
Sang Nan's heart suddenly moved, "Could it be that this Colorful Lotus is not a thing of the Moya Continent?" And has the man who drew the drawing ever been to a similar underground space? ”
Thinking of this, my heart was shaken.
Mei Jingfeng's heart was full of curiosity about this crystal clear, dusty and extraordinary colorful lotus, and walked straight forward, the silver sable seemed to know his relationship with Mei Dongen, and surprisingly did not stop it.
"Uncle Mei, be careful!" Sang Nan reminded him, and told him again about the abnormal changes that had happened to him.
"It's okay!" Mei shook her hand, responded slightly to Sang Nan's kindness, and then observed it carefully.
Sang Nan always pays attention to his demeanor and actions, so that once he finds out about the situation, he can stop it in time. Sosa, beside her, still had a pensive expression.
"Huh?" After a while, Mei Jingfeng suddenly let out an exclamation, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "This flower is a little strange! ”
He had taken an ice berry before, and most of the dark diseases on his body had recovered, and at this time, he suddenly noticed that the blood and qi around his body were surging, and his flesh and bones were numb, so he didn't have time to say anything, so he quickly sat down cross-legged and breathed up.
