Chapter 278: Smelling Jade
Ye Tingbai: "Since you said that he is so dangerous, then we should leave here?" ”
The little monk glanced around, but did not answer immediately.
Chun Xia: "I don't know how to say it, I feel that he can use those purple crystals to achieve the kind of power, those crystals are very particular about the placement of those crystals, if I didn't just detonate those crystals, I probably wouldn't have escaped so easily."
This mezzanine world is likely to be the hub for him to gather power.
I don't think we can afford to let go of this opportunity, and once we leave now, we probably won't be able to come back. ”
Ye Tingbai felt that what the little monk said was not unreasonable, the key retrieved from the third child was directly to the inner world full of monsters, and it was the little monk who stumbled into it by mistake and copied the key to come here.
Normally, Ye Tingbai would not have the opportunity to enter this mezzanine world, although the two worlds are very similar, but the difference in essence is very great.
Ye Tingbai: "If you destroy this place, will it make him weaker?" ”
Chunxia: "I'm not sure, but it's likely.
Just now he asked you what you mean by the method of purifying your divine power? ”
Ye Tingbai took out a few drops of starry sky divine power from the kingdom of God, this is the purification method he obtained from the future, this world may not have invented it yet, this kind of divine power is pure and abnormal, ordinary divine power cannot be condensed, and those gods in the future world can only hunt the relatives of the outer gods to purify.
But Ye Tingbai has the divine power given by the outer gods, which can be purified infinitely, although the speed is very slow, but after more than a year, it has accumulated enough to accumulate the size of a small pond.
This can be used as a high-concentration fuel, but most of the divine power disks in Ye Tingbai's hands can't withstand the strengthening of this kind of divine power, and with high-energy fuel, there is no weapon to match it, which is very chicken.
The little monk looked at the few shimmering starlight droplets in Ye Tingbai's hand, and felt unusually kind, but she had never seen this kind of thing, let alone how to use it.
Chun Xia: "It must have something to do with the stars, but I don't know what it has to do with it." ”
Ye Tingbai: "Why are you so sure?" ”
"Hunting the native gods is a high-risk matter, it doesn't matter if it's those weak gods, but once we meet that kind of god who has a fighting type, we are not opponents at all.
So no one would risk doing such a thing, and there was no deep hatred.
There is no more reason to hunt the native gods, and there will be no other reason for wanting the wreckage, so this thing must have something to do with the wreckage. ”
Ye Tingbai made two drops of starry sky divine power and placed them directly on the crystals of his wrist, but nothing happened.
Ye Tingbai: "It's headless to guess this, it's better to tear down his nest." ”
The place where they were was was a rectangular storage room of about 5 x 10, which was full of storage shelves, and what was stored here was nothing but the masks on the faces of those people.
Those strange masks that can replace other people's skins, this mask is cold to the touch, like an ordinary stone texture, but the weight is very wrong, light and fluttery, like completely dehydrated wood.
The deputy personality picked up the mask and sniffed it, and then said: "It is contained in the book, there is a birth of Baoyu everywhere with corpses and bones, Baoyu is white but light as a feather, smells a strange fragrance, has a strong calming effect, and is called smelling jade." ”
Ye Tingbai: "What book?" ”
Alternate personality: "Wu Yi's Chronicle of Everything, I'm not sure if it's or not, but I feel that this description is very similar, and it does have a faint fragrance... There is also the smell of sweaty hands. ”
Ye Tingbai: "Calming effect? ”
Sub-personality: "There is a lot of record of this fragrant jade in the Chronicles of All Things, there are more than 1,000 words, you must know that the length of that book is very precious, and there are very few things that can be described in more than 1,000 words."
It is said that it can cure any and all mental illnesses, and even if you are not sick, you can sleep peacefully, and the thumb-sized piece of Wenxiang jade is worth 10,000 gold. ”
Chun Xia: "But there are too many scented jades here, right?" ”
Ye Tingbai: "No matter what kind of material this is, there are so many of them, and there is an endless stream of them, it can only mean that they have a way to make it."
This is the storage room, then there should be a carving room, there should be a material room, let's look for it. ”
The masks here are basically made in batches, and there may be hundreds of masks of the same type, such as the simplest smile mask, compared to the smile, there are other types of masks, sadness, and anger.
But with a normal smile, the other expressions are less pitiful.
Spring/Summer: "Look, I've found a strange mask. ”
Ye listened to Bai Xunsheng and looked over, the little monk squatted on the ground and held a mask in his hand, the mask was engraved with a woman, and her face was also a warm smile, but it was different from all masks, it was unique.
All the masks here are carved out of a mold, as if there were drawings, but this mask, with a hairstyle, can be seen to be a woman, and there are many more details.
The deputy picked up the mask and sniffed it, frowning.
"There are four different smells on this mask, one is the smell of the material itself, and the smell of sweat of three people, one of which is the girl named Shen Jiujiu."
Chun Xia: "Why do you even know the body smell of others, heh~"
Alternate personality: "It's not very simple, if you want to, I'll do it right now..."
Ye Tingbai glared at the deputy personality and asked him not to continue, so that the more he talked, the more people would think that they were a pervert, and the reason why the deputy personality knew these details was not that he would deliberately remember these things, but that these things were clearly placed in front of him.
That girl Ye Tingbai had a little impression of chatting with her before, she was a carver.
The carver is a profession, and more than half of the shops in the town are related to this profession, and it is clear from the conversations of people on the street that the carver is very respected here.
In his eyes, this so-called carver is a group of carvers, and this mask is carved by them little by little, so it is normal to smell a little sweaty hands.
As for the taste of the other two people, it's a bit interesting, ordinary pick up and watch, generally will not leave the smell of sweat, unless the person is a sweaty hand, after all, there are not many cases of sweaty palms.
Being able to leave the smell of sweat that can clearly distinguish the sub-personality can only mean that they may have played with this mask carefully, could it be that the people here still have the habit of dispensing masks?
Ye Tingbai secretly took away a few masks that had fallen to ashes, and then sat on a few ordinary plastic masks and threw them on, he was a little curious about this kind of noodles, and it might be useful to keep a few in the future.
The three of them tiptoed to the door, carefully observed behind the door for a while, and after confirming that there was no patrol outside the door, they pried open the door and came to the corridor.
The fact that they can return to this place from that mine shows that this storage room is the same spatial coordinate as the place full of amethysts, in other words, if there is a mining cave in this mezzanine world, this storage room should be the core of the mine.
Therefore, there must be something special about this place for the mezzanine world.
Ye Tingbai: "Wait, how many floors are here?" ”
Chun Xia raised her chin and showed a thoughtful gesture: "I remember that it looks like two layers from the outside, what's wrong?" ”
Ye Tingbai: "It's just that I remember that the mine cave has always been diagonally downward, if this room is the same as that mine space, this place is at least more than thirty meters underground." ”
According to the height of the floor here, about three meters and a half, the ceiling and floor are counted as thickest, and one floor is counted as four meters, and there may be seven underground floors here.
If it's really that deep, it's going to be a bit of a struggle for them to get back to the surface.
Vice-personality: "There's too little information, let's take a look outside." ”
As he spoke, the deputy used a dagger to cut off the lock of the door in front of him, and the shrill sound of metal was particularly piercing in the silent night, and beyond the gate was a dark corridor, empty, not even a window.
Not only the windows, but also the door, there is no room outside of this storage room.
Ye Tingbai put his palm on the wall and tapped it carefully, his voice was muffled, not hollow.
Vice-personality: "Why didn't you just ask me?"
The back of the wall was indeed solid, but there were bodies buried, and there was a clear dividing line between the wall and the floor.
Therefore, this wall must have been built later. ”
Ye Tingbai kicked it directly after hearing this, this kind of wall was fragile like a tofu block in front of him, Ye Tingbai kicked the wall completely open with a few kicks, and behind the wall was soft and glutinous soil, mixed with some bones.
It's just that this pile of bones doesn't smell rancid, but has some fragrance.
Spring/Summer: "Ah! It tastes about the same as those masks! ”
Alternate Personality: "The bones here are only vertebrae, and the bones are very dense, and they are transformed in the frontal material that carves the mask. ”
Looking at this pile of bones, Ye Tingbai thought of a word, fermentation.
The bones were wrapped in a strange powder of earth and piled up in the room, which was sealed like a fermented place.
These bones were obviously not buried for concealment, because the dirt was not tamped and was very loose, and besides, who would build a separate room to bury the vertebrae?
The group smashed a dozen walls in a row, and found that all the rooms were the same as the previous one, with vertebrae and specially prepared dirt, and that these rooms had been sealed for more than a few years.
The longer the closure lasts, the closer the bones in the room are to the material of the Wenxiang jade, and the real finished Wenxiang jade is a whole vertebrae that turn into a puddle of round cakes, just right for carving masks.
Ye Tingbai picked up a piece of the initial round cake and smelled the fragrant jade, put it in front of his nose and sucked it a few times, except for a faint fragrance, it was the fishy smell of the earth, and no matter how he smoked, he couldn't feel anything abnormal in his body.
Ye Tingbai: "This thing can really calm the nerves?" ”
Vice-personality: "According to the record, there should be, and the effect is very good, we are useless may be too special, you are a spirit body, not a person, and my spirit will not be affected."
As for her... It is impossible for the soul to be calmed even if the soul is strong. ”
Ye Tingbai picked the corners of his mouth, ordinary people?
Doesn't he have a ready-made one here?
Ye Tingbai grabbed Li Xiaoxiao out of the kingdom of God, Li Xiaoxiao looked worried after laughing, and he was resentful in his heart, but he gasped when he saw this corridor full of white bones.
Li Xiaoxiao: "We, where is this?" ”
Ye Tingbai: "In the underground of Kerong Courtyard, you smell this piece of jade, and try to see if you feel sleepy." ”
Li Xiaoxiao took the jade plate in Ye Tingbai's hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, I have to say that the smell of fragrant jade is very good, except that the production process is a little disgusting, this fragrance has surpassed most perfumes, the smell is very light, but it is very top-notch.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled for another five minutes, since he was in good spirits and did not feel sleepy at all, this made Ye Tingbai gradually suspicious, maybe this thing and the Wen Xiangyu that the deputy personality had seen just happened to be similar.
The deputy personality stood in front of Li Xiaoxiao, attracted her attention with his fingers, and then snapped his fingers crisply.
"You slept~"
Li smiled: "I... Slept~"
Li Xiaoxiao fell directly on the body of the deputy personality, fell into a deep sleep, breathed steadily, and did not have any painful expression, but Ye Tingbai didn't understand this process at all.
Vice-personality: "It's just a little psychological suggestion, she's too focused, but I didn't expect to sleep so fast, this thing may not be a calming effect, but makes people's spirits very focused, and it is easy to be hypnotized or guided."
Those people thought that they would fall asleep if they sucked it, and they would naturally fall asleep.
And Li Xiaoxiao didn't have this cognition, and she didn't even feel sleepy when she smelled it. ”
Ye Tingbai: "Spiritual suggestion?" ”
People here can change their faces, which means that the real engraving does not exist in the mask, as Shen Jiujiu said, the engraving can bring changes in people's personality and talent, which may really have something to do with spiritual suggestion.
At first, when Ye Tingbai heard that Kerong could give people a fixed talent, he thought that the mask was passive, but then he thought about it, since the mask could be replaced at will, it must not be a problem with the mask.
Engraving is always accompanied by a mask change, so most people think that the engraving ceremony is equivalent to changing the mask, but in fact, the engraving ceremony should be something else.
The face made by smelling Xiangyu should just be an auxiliary prop.
The incarnation ritual is more like writing something special into the heads of these people, treating these people as robots, instilling preconceived notions in their heads.
Or simply hypnosis, so that the person will be a certain profession in the future, and this mask permanently solidifies this hypnosis.
All this is just Ye Tingbai's speculation, there is no evidence, but he feels that it should be eight or nine.
But the most important question remains, what is the meaning of carving?
Only by finding this key problem can Ye Tingbai destroy this place in a targeted manner, ruin that person's back garden, and make him pay for his actions.
Chun Xia looked at the bones all over the ground, and there were a lot of doubts in his heart.
"Why are there so many bones, but there is no resentment and soul at all, and the vertebrae are singled out, it should be very painful."
Ye Tingbai: "Not at all?" ”
Chun Xia: "Well, not at all, even the dry bones on the side of the road, you can feel a little soul, but these bones are not at all, it's like... It's like a normal stone! ”
