Text Chapter 113: Emerald ambergris
Nine deaths and one life to pass the danger
The ancient picture of the Tang Dynasty hides the mysteries
Out of the stone room where Madame Jin was, there was a very narrow corridor in front of it.
The whole corridor was dark and dark, and there was only boundless darkness as far as the eye could see, and I didn't know where it could lead.
I walked along the wall on the right side of the hallway, not knowing how long I had been walking, when suddenly there was a light in front of me.
That's the light.
The light came from a place that resembled a small square, surrounded by countless large and small arches, and it seemed that whoever was in that room, whoever won the game, would end up in this place.
Where there are lights, there are naturally people.
It's just that at this time, there are far more dead people in the small square than there are still alive.
The dead were lying on the ground, some of whom I had seen, and some of whom I had never seen. Their eyes burst out, their hands clutched their throats, their tongues stretched out at an incredible length, not so much that they had been poisoned as they had been strangled alive by themselves.
And there are only two people alive, one is Lin Ziming, and the other is the one who bets on Sun Bai when he sees people.
I saw the two of them standing in front of a little girl wearing a pink cherry blossom cheongsam, and the little girl was holding a big silver plate in her hand, on which were placed five silver carved dragon wine glasses, and the liquid in the wine glasses was green and exuded a faint fragrance.
The same wine glass, the same turquoise liquid.
However, the hand that Lin Ziming and Sun Bai were busy with that was originally stretched out, but at this time, it seemed to be grasped by an invisible big hand, and they stopped in the air and couldn't move.
"The two of you have been chosen for so long, have you chosen well?" The girl in the pink cheongsam said with a smile.
"Do we have to choose?" Lin Ziming said in a trembling voice.
"Yes! You've come this far, do you want to give up? The girl in the pink cheongsam said leisurely.
"But...... However, there is ...... in this wine" Sun Bai hurriedly said loudly: "This wine is poisonous? ”
"You're right! This wine is called turquoise ambergris, which is a very ancient secret recipe, and there are fourteen cups in it, but only one cup is not poisonous! If the previous test of the two is strength, then this level is a bet on luck. The pink cheongsam girl Ying Ying smiled.
"But what if I don't choose?" Lin Ziming asked in a trembling voice.
"If you don't choose, get out of here!" The girl in the pink cheongsam said and pointed to an iron gate on her left, "If you choose to give up, you can walk out of here directly, but the 100 million you paid when participating in the Rakshasa gamble will be automatically deducted." ”
"Good! Staying in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood, I, Lin Ziming, gave up! After Lin Ziming finished speaking, he shook his hand and really strode towards the iron gate.
"What about you?" The pink girl didn't seem to be surprised by Lin Ziming's decision at all, she watched Lin Ziming walk into the iron gate, then turned her head leisurely, smiled and said, "Lin Ye has given up, so how do you choose, grandpa?" Do you keep gambling, or do you give up? ”
"I ......", Sun Bai, who has always been addicted to gambling, was a little hesitant at this time.
And at this moment, I said loudly behind him: "He doesn't choose, then let me choose first!" ”
After I finished speaking, I walked up to the girl in the pink cheongsam with a smile.
"It turned out to be Liu Ye! Congratulations to Liu Ye for successfully passing the first hurdle! The girl in the pink cheongsam said and made a blessing salute to me, and then said, "Since Liu Ye wants to choose first, then please choose first!" ”
"Good!" As soon as I finished speaking, I reached out and picked up the rightmost cup from the silver tray, and drank the wine from the silver cup with a lift of my neck.
Then, I just felt a burning sensation spread through my whole body in an instant, and then, I didn't know anything.
The night is getting deeper.
The wind blew through the treetops, making the people who were still wandering the streets shiver.
Suzhou, this is the most famous water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
There are not only the most beautiful cities in the country, but also the most famous craftsmen in the rivers and lakes.
There are many kinds of craftsmen, some craftsmen are good at making some strange things, some craftsmen are good at carving knife work, and some even make some traps.
However, the craftsmen here are best at restoring some ancient paintings and calligraphy.
Wang Yiping is one of the most famous in the restoration industry of antique paintings and calligraphy in Suzhou. He is not only a genius in the field of painting and calligraphy, but also a master of copying, and even if the calligraphy and paintings copied by his hands are placed in front of the most professional connoisseurs, there is no difference in them. And no matter how complicated the calligraphy and painting calligraphy is, as long as he looks at it, he will never forget it.
It's just that this Wang Yiping has already washed his hands and quit the rivers and lakes many years ago.
However, at this time, the old man, who was nearly seventy years old, sat in front of a very large Nanmu table, and carefully looked at the ancient animal skin map on the table with a magnifying glass.
"This ...... Where did you get this? Wang Yiping kept stroking the map on the table with his dry and trembling hands. If I'm not mistaken, this should be from the Tang Dynasty, many years ago. ”
"That's right, this is indeed from the Tang Dynasty! Do you have a way to fix it? A woman sitting opposite Wang Yiping said.
This woman was young and beautiful, but her delicate and beautiful face was as cold as ice, without a trace of expression, and even the tone of her voice was as cold as ice.
This man turned out to be ICE.
I only heard Ice coldly answer: "If you can, I hope you can help me restore it, as much as you want." ”
"It's not about money! Girl, you know what? Wang Yiping let out a long sigh and slowly continued: "How much time and energy does it take to restore such a map of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"But I ......" Ice wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Yiping.
"Nothing! You see where I am, girl! Wang Yiping sighed: "I'm already old, and it's been a long time since I quit the rivers and lakes, I don't think I can help you." ”
"There's nothing you can do?" ICE looked at Wang Yiping and said a little anxiously.
"In the early years, the rivers and lakes have always said that there is Wang Yiping in the south and Luo Sanzhi in the north in terms of repairing antiquities, but unfortunately I have never seen this Luo Sanzhi in my life, and there is no way to introduce you to it. However, if there is one person who can help you, then this person must be Luo Sanzhi. You might as well go find him. Wang Yi said flatly.
"Alright! Still appreciate your time. Ice bowed deeply and turned to leave.
And just as ICE walked out of the door of Wang Yiping's house, a man dressed in black suddenly turned out from behind the curtain behind Wang Yiping.
The man was covered in a black scarf, and all that was left was a pair of eyes that were as cold as beasts, making people look very strange, as if they were ghosts from hell.
I heard him say coldly: "Have you written it down?" ”
"Write it down!" Wang Yiping said to that person very respectfully.
"Good!" The man in black said coldly.
"What do you want me to do next?" Wang Yiping said respectfully.
"I want you to make twenty copies of that map in three days. Can you do it? The man in black said coldly.
"Three days? Three days......" Wang Yiping said hesitantly.
"What? You can't do it? The man in black looked at Wang Yiping coldly and said.
"It can be done! It can be done! Absolutely! Wang Yiping nodded again and again when he heard the words of the man in black.
"Good!" The man in black nodded.
"Then when do you want me to ......," Wang Yiping asked tentatively.
"Three days later, someone will come looking for you! All you need to do is get these twenty maps ready! The man in black turned around and walked out.
Only the trembling Wang Yiping was left.
The bed, the big, soft bed.
When I woke up, I found myself comfortably lying on such a bed.
There was also a woman sitting next to me, a very beautiful woman. I saw that she was dressed in white like snow, a long skirt dragged straight to the ground, her eyes were gentle and beautiful, there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't move, she just sat there quietly, but somehow I thought of Shen Xiaoyue in an instant, and then, my heartbeat accelerated unconsciously.
"You're awake!" Seeing that I woke up, the woman said with a smile.
"Where is this?" I looked at the woman and said.
"This is my room." The woman laughed.
"I'm not dead?" I looked at her and asked.
"Naturally, there is no death. How could the dead be here? Do you think I look like the palace of Hades here? Or is it like that layer of hell? The woman pursed her lips and laughed.
"Hahaha! That's right, too! There is no such comfortable bed in hell! I said with a smile as I let out a long sigh of relief, trying to relax my limbs.
After a while, I suddenly turned my head, looked at the woman and asked, "But why am I here?" ”
"Of course, the reason why you are here is that I asked someone to carry you here!" The woman said.
"You asked someone to bring it to me? Are you ......" I asked, looking at her.
"That's right! I am the master here, Mrs. Shen! The woman said with a smile.
"Since I'm not dead, so I won the Rakshasa game?" I asked.
"You've got to win! You've only won against others, you haven't won against yourself. Mrs. Shen said lightly.
"But I still passed the four levels of gold, silver, copper and iron, and I chose the right non-poisonous emerald ambergris?" I looked at Mrs. Shen and said.
"You've done that. But......" said Mrs. Shen and paused, "but you are still one thing away." ”
"Which one?" I looked at him and asked.
"You come with me!" Mrs. Shen looked at me and said.
"Good!" After I finished speaking, I followed Mrs. Shen into the room at the back of her house.
