The saying that there is no jade in Hunan is well known, but in fact Hunan is not without jade, but most of the jade in Hunan is ignored and ignored.

He Chenxue didn't stop, talking and walking, completely like the two of them before: "A few years ago, there was a person surnamed Tan in Hunan who went to pick jade in various places, and later applied for a patent called Chuxiang Jasper. ”

Yuan Zhenba followed closely behind He Chenxue and kept looking at her back, although on the surface He Chenxue seemed to be fine now, but in fact she still spoke with a trill, which showed that she was just forcibly suppressing her pain, hoping to transfer the pain of losing her sister to other aspects, at least to concentrate on finding a way to leave this ghost place first.

Yuan Zhenba asked in the back, "Is there anything unique about this jade?" ”

"Do you know He's Bi?" He Chenxue walked in front, her tone was cold, and she would take a deep breath from time to time.

Yuan Zhenba was stunned: "Who doesn't know He's Bi?" But what does He's Bi have to do with Jingshan in Hubei? ”

He Chenxue said calmly: "The reason why it was originally called Chu Yu, and it is called an extremely rare Chu Yu, was named after the Spring and Autumn Chu State, and the territory of Chu State at that time included the current Hubei and Hunan, Hubei produces turquoise, which is well known, but in fact, Chu also produces another kind of jadeite, which is what you see around you now." ”

Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "I don't know much about jade. ”

He Chenxue said: "Everything needs publicity, especially in modern society, if this Chuyu mine is discovered and mined, if there is no proper publicity, the value of these ores will not be too high, the so-called rare is expensive, if it is transported out a little bit, after the polishing and carving of capable people, plus overwhelming publicity, it will be valuable." ”

Yuan Zhenba heard it in a fog: "But I still don't understand, what is unique about this jade?" ”

"The density and hardness of this jade are quite high, and there are certain difficulties in polishing, so it is not something that ordinary people can control......" He Chenxue stopped walking and walking, "This place can't see the light, if it's possible, I really want to completely seal this place, otherwise if someone finds this place and uses it, it will be a considerable impact on the jade market." ”

Yuan Zhenba was stunned again when he heard it this time, he understood from He Chenxue's tone and language that she was now trying her best to change her role, from a weak woman to the head of the next generation of Jade Casting Society, because what she said before, the worry in it, was not what He Chenxue could say before.

No, it should be said that He Chenxue did not change roles, but turned herself back to the cold she was before she encountered the torture.

Yuan Zhenba looked at He Chenxue's back, and didn't understand whether it was the appearance of torture that awakened the self in He Chenxue's heart, or whether Fan Meng personally strangled He Chenxue's original true self.

Coming to the end of the tunnel, He Chenxue and Yuan Zhenba saw Fan Meng standing in front of a jade bi, the jade bib was five meters high and at least fifteen meters wide, it should be a whole jade rough stone.

This kind of whole jade rough stone, not to mention thousands of years ago, even now, it is difficult to dig out the whole stone and bring it to the ground, so thousands of years ago, Miao would polish the original stone on the spot into the current jade.

Fan Meng, who was standing in front of Yubi, had a cold expression, he slowly glanced back at He Chenxue and Yuan Zhenba, did not speak, but lowered his head and closed his eyes to calculate something, his brows were tightly locked, and suddenly he said: "Don't speak, don't disturb me." ”

Yuan Zhenba didn't know what the hell he was doing, and subconsciously stepped forward to look at Yubi, Fan Meng didn't stop him, just concentrated on what to do there.

He Chenxue seemed to be waiting for something, waited for a long time, and saw that Fan Meng did not react at all, but she smiled, walked to Yubi with a smile, looked carefully, and after looking at it for a while, He Chenxue's smile became even stranger, it was completely a contemptuous smile, she turned her head to look at Yuan Zhenba on the left, and said slowly: "Eighth master, it is absolutely impossible for Fan Meng to leave us alone." ”

After He Chenxue finished speaking, the corners of Fan Meng's mouth twitched, his nose took a deep breath, and he continued to count, with words in his mouth.

Yuan Zhenba asked suspiciously, "What do you want to say?" ”

"He needs me." He Chenxue said coldly, raised her hand and pointed to the jade, "There are words in the jade, there are very small words, densely packed with them, just carving these words onto the jade, it will take several years, and the people who carve these words, like me, are all green pupils, but they are green single pupils!" Therefore, I think that Xing Renju must have hidden the clues in it. ”

Yuan Zhenba was stunned for a moment, stepped back and looked at the jade bi and said, "You mean, after Xing Renju came here, he carved the clue into it?" He's also a green eye? ”

"Nope." He Chenxue shook her head, "This piece of jade is divided into three layers, the first layer and the second layer can be moved, just like a puzzle, and countless small jade bibs are composed, each jade bib is the same size, there should be two ways to find that different jade bi, the first is a special calculation method, because Xing Renju is a cargo chaser, he should use the ancient vertical and horizontal method of arithmetic calculation." ”

Yuan Zhenba glanced at Fan Meng, who was still calculating, frowning and shaking his head from time to time, and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

He Chenxue said: "That is, to find which piece of jade one by one, it does not belong here, because the whole piece of jade is Chu jade, which is not the same as jade in other places, but ordinary people need to check them one by one, it takes a long time, three or four days at most, and one or two days for burning, but the second method is a trap." ”

He Chenxue laughed after speaking, the smile was very weird and terrifying, which made Yuan Zhenba feel frightened.

After Yuan Zhenba looked at the surrounding environment, he concluded: "The reason why the second method is a trap is because if people carefully look for the small jade bi that does not belong here in this environment for a long time, their eyes will not be able to stand it, and they will be blind at least and permanently blind at worst, right?"

He Chenxue walked along the jade bi, looked at them one by one, and said at the same time: "Yes, the eighth master is really powerful." ”

Yuan Zhenba looked at He Chenxue and couldn't help but say, "Miss He, you don't have to cover yourself up like this and torture yourself. ”

He Chenxue's steps stopped, and she slowly turned her head to look at Yuan Zhenba, and asked in an extremely gentle, but eerie voice, "Eighth Master, what are you talking about?" Yuejia: I don't understand. ”

Yuejia? Yuan Zhenba involuntarily gasped, stared at He Chenxue, and suddenly felt that what was standing in front of him seemed not to be He Chenxue, but He Yuejia, until a few seconds ago, he didn't realize this, He Chenxue was schizophrenic because he was stimulated, or was it the so-called ghost upper body?

Yuan Zhenba glanced at the tunnel when he came and went, and He Chenxue continued to look for it with a shallow smile, humming a song while looking for it, humming and humming, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Fan Meng and asked, "Hey, do you remember the song I hummed just now?" When I was in the first year of junior high school, it was one of our favorite songs. ”

Fan Meng was shocked, opened his eyes, looked at the ground, and then moved his gaze to He Chenxue's feet, and then slowly moved from his footsteps to her face, and when he looked at He Chenxue's eyes, Fan Meng involuntarily took half a step back.

He Chenxue suddenly smiled: "You forgot? ”

Fan Meng was stunned, at this moment, the thoughts in his mind were exactly the same as what Yuan Zhenba thought a few minutes ago-He Chenxue is crazy? Or is it a ghost?

Fan Meng also involuntarily turned around and glanced in the direction he came, at that moment, he seemed to see He Yuejia standing in the tunnel with a vague figure, Fan Meng shivered, and slowly looked back at He Chenxue.

When he turned around, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, because the moment he turned around, he saw He Chenxue standing in front of him without knowing when he didn't know when, and he also put his face up.

Yuan Zhenba frowned and looked at it on one side, he didn't say a word, he didn't dare to say it, his mind was blank, because at this time, He Chenxue's body exuded a strange aura, which was mixed with the thin air of the cave, making it more difficult for people to breathe.

Fan Meng sat on the ground, staring at He Chenxue with wide eyes, and then saw He Chenxue turn into a magic spell, shook his hand, raised a small jade bi, and said with a smile: "I found it." ”

At this time, Yuan Zhenba noticed that there was indeed a piece missing from the jade bi, maybe she had found it and taken it down before He Chenxue turned around before.

But then He Chenxue made a move that Ning Yuanzhen was extremely surprised by - she handed the jade bi to Fan Meng.

"Miss He-" Yuan Zhenba was about to step forward to stop it, but just after taking a step, He Chenxue slowly turned his head and stopped what he was going to do next with a cold gaze.

Fan Meng didn't understand what He Chenxue was going to do at all, his eyes finally moved to the piece of jade, and finally quickly stretched out his hand, snatched the piece of jade, and crawled backwards for a while, before standing up and leaning against the cave wall and looking at He Chenxue with vigilant eyes.

He Chenxue stood there and said with a smile: "The clue of Qimen has been found, we can go, lead the way." ”

Fan Meng kept rubbing the piece of jade in his hand for a long time before nodding, because he was confirming the texture of the piece of jade in his hand, although the appearance of the jade was very similar to Chu Yu, but in fact, as long as the person who could look at the jade could find something different with a little dim sum.

Fan Meng pointed to the jade bi and said: "If you remove the first layer of jade in an orderly manner, there will be many grooves, climb up along those grooves, and see the multi-layered rocks at the top?" The exit was in the crevice of the rock. ”

He Chenxue just laughed and didn't say anything.

Fan Meng coughed, nodded and said: "It's true, I don't need to lie to you, you know, I still need you, I can't read what is written on the jade bi, but you can." ”

He Chenxue nodded after a long time: "I believe you, you first." ”

"Don't! I'll go first! Yuan Zhenba stepped forward to stop Fan Meng who was about to come forward, "Miss He, if he goes up first, in this environment, he can completely stop us from climbing up on it, or go up first to block the entrance." ”

He Chenxue looked at Yuan Zhenba and asked lightly, "You mean you first, and then what?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Then you, and finally him!" ”

He Chenxue said coldly: "What if this is not an exit?" What about him waiting for us all to climb up and leave through the real exit? Even if you go up first and let him go up second, you will definitely drag me up when I climb up, because I am always a woman, and what if he takes the opportunity to push you down then? No matter how you think about it, there are always dangers and uncertainties, so it's better to gamble, don't you think? ”

Fan Meng looked at Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue in front of him, and said, "I guarantee that it is a real exit, but you have to promise me one thing, no, two things!" ”

"Say!" He Chenxue said immediately.

Fan Meng said: "First, you have to promise that after you go out, you will not retaliate against me. ”

He Chenxue laughed, laughing so much that Fan Meng and Yuan Zhenba's hearts trembled, and then He Chenxue nodded: "Okay, the second one." ”

Fan Meng said: "The second condition, you cooperate with me, I guarantee that you can cooperate with me and carry forward the Jade Casting Society!" And, as long as you cooperate with me, the torture won't trouble me, of course, if he's still alive. ”

Yuan Zhenba looked at Fan Meng and shook his head, he was already so disgusted with the person in front of him that he couldn't speak.

He Chenxue nodded: "You should know that you are shameless, right?" ”

Fan Meng smiled and put away his smile again: "Yes, I know, but people don't kill for themselves, no one knows how to be satisfied, right?" Do you agree? Chenxue, I know you agree with me. ”

After speaking, Fan Meng laughed again.

He Chenxue said: "Very good, at least you start to be honest, let's go, you go first." ”

Subsequently, Fan Meng faced Yubi and took the lead in climbing, followed by Yuan Zhenba, and finally He Chenxue.

After climbing to the top, there was still a cave on top, but the cave had a 45-degree slope tunnel towards the ground, and after climbing up the tunnel for about thirty meters, Fan Meng finally led the two of them out from behind the rock next to a big tree.

After returning to the ground, Yuan Zhenba took a big breath of the outside air, and at the same time was surprised to find that the three of them were at the top of a mountain peak, and looking around, there were clouds and mist on all sides, like a fairyland.

Fan Meng stood there, looked around, and said, "Next, I don't know how to go, and the clue of that picture ends here." ”

"Eighth Master." He Chenxue pointed to his eyes and said, "He doesn't know how to walk, and my eyes can't see too far, so I can only trouble you to lead the way, let's go, let's go down the mountain first, as far as we can go." ”

Yuan Zhenba hesitated and said, "Don't wait for others?" ”

He Chenxue didn't speak, just slowly passed by Yuan Zhenba, and threw down a sentence: "If you have something to say, I know that the other person you said is a torture technique, let's go." ”

Yuan Zhenba looked back at the rocks, and finally took a step, catching up with He Chenxue and Fan Meng, who were gradually moving away.

At the same time that the three of them left the mountain peak, Bai Zhongzheng and the others, who were in the medicine cave, had already found a way to open the round tripod, that is, to pull the iron chain vigorously.

This was completely discovered by Yan Gang after pulling the chain in desperation and anxiety, when he pulled down the chain hard, he found that the chain would bounce back like a spring rope, and in the process of rebounding, its pulling force would reverse the tripod cover below, because he was not strong enough at that time, the tripod cover was just uncovered a gap, and it was quickly closed again.

Bai Zhongzheng looked at the iron chain and said, "It seems that the mechanism is on it." ”

Xu You interjected: "Don't forget, the exit to leave is also on it." ”

Just when Yan Gang was about to pull the chain again, Yan Gang immediately stepped forward and stopped: "Wait! Wait a minute! ”

"What's wrong?" Yan Gang looked at him strangely, "What are you waiting for?" The torture is half dead! ”

Samuchuan, who was surrounding the round tripod, also looked up at it and said, "I should wait, something is wrong." ”

Yan Gang asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Yan Gang pointed to the text on the top of the round tripod: "Crazy Xu said, it says that when the top cover is opened, the exit above will also appear, which is a bit contradictory, an iron chain controls two organs at the same time, take a step back and say, there is also the kind of Gu that Samuchuan said in this round tripod, if that thing is alive and aggressive, what should I do?" How do we cope? And most importantly, what will happen if the exit above is opened? These are unknowns. ”

Bai Zhongzheng nodded: "According to the method of the Cast Iron Immortal, this must be some kind of psychological trap." ”

Tan Daodao: "And the psychological traps of the cast iron immortal are all to make people die!" ”

Yan Gang looked at the iron chain, and said firmly for a long time: "No, I'm worried that if I don't hurry up and take out the antidote, the torture will die, no matter what, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull this iron chain alone, and someone has to volunteer to help me, you should understand what I mean, right?" ”

Everyone understands, because no one is sure what will happen after pulling the chain, the worst result is that when the mechanism on it is opened, there will be hidden arrows or other things falling, and the two people who hold the chain will die for life, and the probability of survival is extremely low.

"I'll do it!" Tan Tong stepped forward and climbed directly onto Yuanding, "Don't fight with me, I have been completely taken care of by you all the way, and I have not played any role, so let me come." ”

Although Tan Tong said this, everyone knows that Tan Tong is now the favor of the torture technique on the ship before, after all, if it wasn't for the torture technique that replaced him, the one lying there now would not be the torture technique.

Yan Gang grabbed the chain, took a deep breath and said, "If I am poisoned, the torture technique will definitely help me, right?" So, don't fight with me. ”

Everyone nodded and slowly retreated, Tan Tong grabbed the chain and said to Yan Gang: "Come on, let's merge the two kings this time and kill the Quartet!" ”

Yan Gang smiled and nodded, grabbed the chain, and after shouting "one, two, three", the two of them dragged down the chain vigorously.

While the two of them pulled the chain, the rest of the people took a step back, and Xu You helped Xu You carry the torture technique on his back, first looking at the round ding, and then at the top of the cave at the top of the chain.

The iron chain was desperately dragged by Yan Gang and Tan Tongxia, and because of the excessive force, their faces were red.

After a long time, Yan Gang finally said, "Okay! Steady! I can't pull it! ”

Tan Tong also turned his head slightly and looked at the others: "We're going to loosen the chains!" Get ready! ”

Everyone around Yuanding nodded, and then Tan Tong and Yan Gang also nodded at each other, and then let go at the same time and jumped down to the sides.

The moment the two of them let go of the chain, the chain made a sound like the grinding of the teeth of a wild beast, and the sound echoed through the cave as it bounced back, and the lid was lifted.

"It's on!" Xu You shouted, and then ran forward to look at Yuanding, and at the same time he stepped forward, Kent, who had already been impatient, also ran forward, and when the two of them just rushed to Yuanding, they saw a puff of red smoke rising from it.

"Be careful!" Yan Gang shouted, and Tan Tong, who had just gotten up, pushed away Xu You and Kent respectively.

While the four of them avoided the smoke, the entire cave began to shake violently, and it was difficult for everyone to even get up and stand firmly.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Kent, who was close to the cave wall, stared at the round and saw that something was exposed in the round ding, to be exact, it was a head, the head of a giant centipede, that is, the kind of ghost insect they encountered in the valley, the difference was that the ghost insect in front of him was at least two to three times larger than the previous encounter.

The giant ghost insect climbed on the edge of the dome, stood up in the midst of the vibration, and slowly twisted its body, as if looking around at its surroundings, as if a demon that had been imprisoned for thousands of years had finally rediscovered the light of day.

Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded, and then they all raised their weapons in their hands.
