A cave resembling the inside of a medicine jar, in the densely arranged holes on the cave wall, there are medicine jars, medicine jars and medicine bottles, and at the top of the cave hangs an iron chain, which connects the top of the lid of a round dome below, and the round dome is actually bipedal.

Bai Zhongzheng stood in front of Yuanding, turned his head and said to Samuchuan: "Samuchuan, you are a Miao person, you know the things here, you hurry up and find a medicine that can save the torture, Kent will help you, I, the king of Hades and the king of guns hurry up to find the exit, after we go out, we have to rush back first, or survey the route, and see if we can block the miscellaneous pieces of Fan Meng on the way!" ”

Samuchuan nodded, glanced at Safon, and immediately set out to search, because he was not only looking for an antidote, but also trying to find a medicine that could restore Safon to a normal person.

Kent saw Samuchuan's thoughts, and whispered beside him: "You should also know that the 'next life' may be a kind of bacteria, or some kind of toxin, it is this toxin that has supported your cousin to live until now, although it is only nominally alive, once the toxin is removed, I think, he will die immediately." ”

Samuchuan turned his head to glare at Kent and said, "Shut up!" ”

Bai Zhongzheng didn't arrange for Xu You, but Xu You was idle, walking around the medicine cave with his hands behind his back, and finally focused his attention on the round tripod: "This round tripod is two-legged, which is very rare. ”

"I know." Bai Zhongzheng, who was searching for the organ on the side, replied, "Generally speaking, the tripod is either four-legged or three-legged, let's not talk about the reason, because the feet can't stand up at all, this round tripod is strange, it actually stands up." ”

Xu You squatted down, looked at Dingzu and said: "This tripod is a stone tripod, not made of bronze, copper or iron, it should be carved out of a boulder in the cave when digging this cave, and the feet are just its balance support, and it is the iron chain that has been dragging this tripod, which makes the tripod continue for thousands of years." ”

Tan Tong observed from the side, and said for a long time: "So, the inside of this tripod is actually solid?" And not empty? Is this lid and body connected? ”

Xu Youdao: "On the surface, it seems like this, but what I am most interested in now is these tadpole-like characters carved on the surface of this round tripod, if I am not mistaken, this should be Gu Miao script." ”

Bai Zhongzheng frowned and walked over: "What is Gu Miaowen?" ”

Not far away, climbing on the cave wall, looking for it one by one, Samuchuan turned around and explained: "In fact, the so-called Miao script is after the founding of the People's Republic of China, to be precise, after 1956, scholars from the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Nationalities helped the Miao people to reformulate, but because the Miao people are not concentrated, coupled with the relationship between dialects and other languages for many years, this script has basically been abandoned now." Prior to that, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, there had been people who helped the Miao people create writing, but none of them were officially used. The well-documented ancient Miao script refers to the Miao script before the Miao uprising, that is, during the Qianlong period, my ancestor said that there were actually books to record, but after the failure of the uprising, under the will of the Tartar Emperor, all of them were destroyed. ”

Tan Tong looked at the words closely: "Are these ancient Miao scripts?" ”

Samuchuan held a jar and looked at it carefully, and said at the same time: "It should be, I don't know, I have seen it before, but I don't know it at all, I don't have any research on ancient Miao script." ”

Tan Tong nodded slightly, while Bai Zhongzheng looked at Xu You, who was walking slowly around Yuanding, and was chanting words in his mouth.

Just when Yan Gang came over and was about to say something to Bai Zhongzheng, Bai Zhongzheng motioned for him not to speak and asked him to look at Xu You, which meant: Xu You seems to know this kind of writing.

"Have you watched "Baoqing Mansion Chronicles"? There is also information about the Miao uprising in the early Qing Dynasty. Xu You said with a strange smile, "I have read, many documents have recorded, in the Miao uprising, they used the ancient Miao script to print a large number of letters, announcements and stamps, etc., these words can only be recognized by the Miao people themselves, the Qing soldiers can't understand what it is, in the words of the literature, that is, 'like a tadpole, like a seal is not a seal, there is no sentence to read'." It was a headache for the Qing court at that time, because they couldn't understand even if they intercepted the relevant text intelligence list or something, so after the failure of the uprising, Emperor Qianlong ordered that all the ancient Miao literature that the Miao people could find was banned, even if it was a piece of wood with ancient Miao literature on it, it had to be burned clean, this ancient Miao script was found to be carved on some stones in modern times, because it was found in Chengbu County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province, so it is also called Chengbu Miao Wen. ”

Bai Zhongzheng immediately asked, "Do you know?" ”

"Heh-" Xu You raised his eyes and looked at Bai Zhongzheng, "I know a lot of ancient characters, and I have also studied Chengbu Miao script, so I can only say that I can read a rough idea." ”

Tan Tong immediately asked, "What are you talking nonsense for?" Say, what's written on it? ”

Xu You stretched out his index finger and pointed at the Yuanding and said: "In short, the raw materials that say 'Alternate World' are in it, and the thing that wants to unravel the toxin of 'Alternate World' is also in it, in other words, 'Alternate World' itself is a poison and an antidote." ”

Samuchuan's eyes lit up and he jumped straight down.

After hearing this, Bai Zhongzheng immediately asked, "What about the torture technique!?" Now it's not just Samuchuan who wants to save his cousin, but we also have to save the torture arts! ”

Xu You was not in a hurry, got up and said, "Mr. Bai, aren't you looking for clues about Qimen?" ”

Bai Zhongzheng was stunned, of course he knew that this was the most important task he shouldered.

Bai Zhongzheng shook his head: "Human life is at stake!" ”

Xu You smiled and said: "Well, yes, you guys are really different from Fan Meng, I admire you a little." ”

Yan Gang grabbed Xu You: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Samuchuan and Kent also looked at Xu You with expectant eyes, after all, Kent's original purpose of coming here was for that kind of miracle medicine, and now that the secret of the "next world" was near, of course he wanted to find out what was going on.

"Let go of me!" Xu You frowned slightly, but there was still a strange smile on his face, which made the expression on his face look even more weird, "You are not the kind of person like Fan Meng, and neither am I, so I will help you, because to help you is to help myself." ”

"Hades!" Bai Zhongzheng motioned for Yan Gang to let go, but Yan Gang let go of Xu You, still glaring at him.

Xu You looked at Na Yuanding and said: "According to the above records, the poison in the torture technique is also 'the next world', but the dose is lighter, and it can't be left alone, if it is not detoxified within two hours, he will become the same as that guy." ”

As he spoke, Xu You pointed to Safeng who was standing on one side, and Samuchuan frowned and looked at it, wanting to say something, but held back.

Everyone was patient and didn't ask, just waiting for Xu You to continue.

Xu You stepped forward and approached the round tripod and looked up: "This round tripod is not solid, the antidote is contained in it, open this round tripod, you can find a solution, at the same time, it is also written that as long as this tripod is opened, the exit will also appear." ”

Tan Tong raised his eyebrows: "It seems to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"I think it's like a trap." Bai Zhongzheng touched his chin and said, "Don't you think? According to the consistent practice of the Cast Iron Immortal, he would not let people easily get their hands on the contents of it. ”

Yan Gang stepped forward and grabbed the iron chain and shook it gently: "Is it just a matter of dragging the chain and opening the lid of the tripod?" ”

Xu You shrugged: "Maybe, who knows." ”

"Gu." Samuchuan suddenly said a word, and everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at him.

Tan Tong asked, "What did you just say?" ”

Samuchuan stepped forward and said, "I'm talking about Gu, Gu poison Gu. ”

Kent, who was behind Samuchuan, was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stepped forward and listened carefully.

Xu You became interested, crossed his arms and asked, "You mean, what is contained in this tripod is Gu?" ”

Samuchuan nodded: "Actually, Gu was given a myth by the Han people, as far as the Miao people themselves are concerned, many people don't know what Gu is, broadly speaking, it's just a poison, to go deeper, maybe it's bacteria, even my ancestors didn't understand what Gu is." ”

Tan Tong clapped his hands: "I know!" Do you mean that this tripod is what kind of Gu thing is made, just like everyone guessed, throw all kinds of poisons into the tripod and let them kill each other, and the last one who survives is Gu? ”

Samuchuan said: "Probably, I can only say approximately, it's just a guess." ”

Bai Zhongzheng looked puzzled: "You mean, the medicine of 'Alternate World' itself is Gu poison?" The torture is also poisonous? ”

"One thing I can be sure of is that Gu poison can only be solved with Gu poison, which is passed down from the ancestors." Samuchuan glanced back at Safeng, "However, this kind of attacking Gu poison with Gu poison is not the same as fighting poison with ordinary poison, attacking poison with poison may completely cancel out the two, but once a person is poisoned by Gu poison, even if he is saved with Gu poison, there will still be some Gu poison left in his body, but it will not be fatal, it varies from person to person, and the results are different." ”

Tan Tong frowned: "Result? ”

Kent accosted on the side: "What he wants to say should be the sequelae." ”

Samuchuan turned his head to look at Kent and nodded, "Yes, it's the sequelae." ”

Yan Gang grabbed the chain and said, "No matter what kind of sequelae there are, save people first!" As long as you live, it's better than anything else! Find a way to open the Ding! ”

Everyone nodded and gathered around the round ......

At the same time, in the jade cave on the far right, Fan Meng held the hand power station at the entrance of the tunnel, which was not an ordinary cave at all, but a long and spreading tunnel, with an elusive smile and a strange laugh in his throat.

Yuan Zhenba helped He Yuejia to step forward slowly, He Chenxue kept glaring ahead, and after seeing Fan Meng's back, she clenched her fists, swept around with a flashlight, and found a stone that fit her hand and put it in her bag.

He Chenxue now knows very well that Fan Meng is really not credible, and even more clearly that her sister He Yuejia's chance of survival is close to zero.

But she couldn't do it directly, because even Yuan Zhenba, a person who could easily kill Fan Meng, could only suppress her anger because she was worried that she would not be able to leave safely.

However, what puzzled He Chenxue was that once he left, how would Fan Meng get out? With his skills, he will definitely be directly restrained by Yuan Zhenba, and Yuan Zhenba will definitely let him repay all the debts he owes here.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped into his mind, that is, Fan Meng would kill himself, He Yuejia and Yuan Zhenba, and then leave alone.

That's why Fan Meng didn't worry about Yuan Zhenba's revenge after leaving!

Why is this happening? Why did Van Meng become like this? The previous Van Meng was not like this at all! Could it be that Fan Meng has always been like this, but he has been acting, and he has never seen through him?

He Chenxue stood there, stunned, and the words of the torture technique flashed in his mind, as well as Fan Meng's sentence - "Do you regret it?" ”

"Regret ......" He Chenxue stood there and replied involuntarily, although it was very low, but it still made Yuan Zhenba in front of him stop, he subconsciously glanced at Fan Meng who had walked into the tunnel, turned around and asked in a low voice, "What did you say?" ”

He Chenxue looked at the mouth of the tunnel and said, "Eighth Master, Fan Meng will not let us go, he will definitely kill us all before leaving." ”

Yuan Zhenba was not surprised at all: "I know, if he doesn't do that, he knows very well what will happen to him after he goes out." ”

He Chenxue asked again: "Do you have any solution?" You can leave me alone, but you can't leave my sister alone. ”

Yuan Zhenba supported He Yuejia and kept holding her arm, but it was actually on her pulse all the time.

Yuan Zhenba shook his head: "Miss He, let me tell you the truth, if after going out, there is a helicopter parked there waiting for us, and quickly send your sister to the nearest city hospital, maybe she can still be saved, but the chance of survival is not great, but that kind of thing can't happen, so, you know what I mean, go as far as you can." ”

He Chenxue stood there, opened her eyes and looked at Yuan Zhenba, tears rolling out in big eyes.

Just when Yuan Zhenba was about to comfort her, He Yuejia looked up with difficulty, looked at He Chenxue, and said in a low voice: "Chenxue, don't cry, this is my sister's own choice, I chose the wrong one, you also chose the wrong one, I can't turn back, you still have a chance." ”

He Chenxue stepped forward and hugged He Yuejia, and said "don't" vigorously.

Yuan Zhenba walked away from the sisters, took two steps back, and just frowned and watched.

He Yuejia closed her eyes and hugged He Chenxue: "The torture technique is actually the most correct choice, but the relationship between you and the torture technique has ended, and you have ended it with your own hands, so, after you leave, don't have any thoughts of wanting to reconcile with the torture technique, that will only hurt him and yourself more, Dad is gone, the torture technique will not be the first worker, and the four former chief workers will not succeed again, the only choice is you, I believe that others will assist you, my only wish is that you can live well and help my father and I take care of the Jade Casting Society, Don't let the cast jade disappear. ”

He Chenxue kept crying and kept saying "don't".

He Yuejia let go of her arms, and then pushed He Chenxue away with all her might, and she fell because of it, when He Chenxue stepped forward, He Yuejia pulled out her dagger and pointed it at her throat: "I'll drag you down, let's go, I know I won't live long, and there is no point in you carrying a corpse." ”

He Chenxue stood there, crying silently. Yuan Zhenba only sighed in a low voice, and other than that, he couldn't do anything.

He Yuejia leaned on the rock and looked at the top of the cave: "This is the birthplace of the Xuan family and the Jade Casting Society, I think, this should be the will of heaven, the will of heaven let me die here, go quickly, time waits for no one, go quickly!" ”

Yuan Zhenba stepped forward and grabbed He Chenxue, dragged her out, but he couldn't pull He Chenxue away, He Chenxue was crying there as if her feet were buried in the ground.

"Remember my sister's words." He Yuejia said with a smile, "Don't remember my sister's words, and don't think about revenge, there are some things that don't need you to take revenge, God has eyes, Fan Meng won't end well, goodbye, Chenxue, if there is really an afterlife, let's not be sisters anymore, it's my sister who hurt you......"

After He Yuejia finished speaking, she grabbed the dagger and stabbed it towards her throat.

He Chenxue let out a scream, pounced, grabbed He Yuejia's hands that clenched the dagger, and cried there.

The blood oozing from He Yuejia's throat stained He Chenxue's hand, and He Chenxue sat there crying weakly.

Yuan Zhenba on one side couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but when he turned around, he saw Fan Meng's figure flashing past the mouth of the tunnel.

In the tunnel, Fan Meng hid close to the cave wall, his hands trembled slightly, he heard He Yuejia's words clearly, in fact, he knew that He Yuejia would cut himself off, he could obviously stop it, but he knew better that even if he stopped it, He Yuejia would die sooner or later.

When he made a choice in front of the three caves, Fan Meng knew that He Yuejia was dead, and at that time, the only thing he hoped was that he would not see He Yuejia die with his own eyes.

After all, his love for He Yuejia is true, but that love can't compare to his own life at all, and it can't compare to his heart that has been completely occupied by selfish desires.

"I'm sorry." After Fan Meng whispered, he strode towards the front of the tunnel, he knew that he had to find the clue immediately, leave this place immediately, and get rid of Yuan Zhenba and He Chenxue.

Fan Meng's hurried footsteps came, which made Yuan Zhenba even more anxious, he dragged He Chenxue last time, He Chenxue just didn't want to leave, he had to say: "I'll chase Fan Meng first, you hurry up and keep up!" ”

Yuan Zhenba said this, took two steps, and then stopped and said: "He Chenxue, you heard clearly, I am still worried about your life and death, it is completely for the sake of torture, although I have no friendship with him, but he is a good person, if something happens to you, he will definitely be very sad." ”

After speaking, Yuan Zhenba pulled his legs to catch up, although He Chenxue's tears were still flowing, but because of Yuan Zhenba's words, his heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

When Yuan Zhenba chased into the tunnel, he suddenly stopped, because he found that the tunnel in front of him was actually a mine, a jade mine, and a lot of jade mines could be seen with the naked eye in the mine, although there were many traces of artificial mining, but it was at least a thousand years old.

"These are all Chu Yu rough stones." He Chenxue's cold voice sounded from behind, Yuan Zhenba turned around, and saw He Chenxue carrying his and his sister He Yuejia's backpacks in front and back, and walked over with trekking poles, "Although I can't see it from such a distance, the reflection of the flashlight in your hand on the rough stone can already make me sure that these must be Chu Yu." ”

Yuan Zhenba was puzzled and asked, "Chu Yu?" What kind of jade is that? ”

He Chenxue stepped forward slowly: "It should be the uncommon Xiangyu that was said in the industry later." ”
