Chapter 436: Something More Valuable
Wan Kill glanced at the place where he took the treasure box just now, and said, "There is a hole here, and this black thing is bubbling out. What is this? ”
Qingdi felt that the black didn't look like a good thing, and the smell was uncomfortable, so he said worriedly, "Is this poisonous?" Will I get hurt if I touch this after killing it? ”
Wan Kill blinked, looked at it with a frown, and said, "I didn't feel any discomfort, and I didn't feel poisoned, but it was quite disgusting......"
Chu Yaocen dipped a little with his index finger, leaned under his nose and sniffed it, and said after a while, "This is stone lipid water, which is not poisonous." ”
"Paraffin?" Disappearing seemed to think of something, and asked, "Kerose?" ”
"Well," Chu Yaocen nodded, "The existence of this kind of thing was mentioned in the "Notes on the Water Classic" written by a famous geographer in the previous dynasty, and there are some methods for refining it. ”
"So what's the use of it? Is it worth the money? Qingdi asked.
"Of course it's useful, to extract salt, or to use it as fuel." Chu Yaocen wiped his hands and said, "No wonder it is recorded on the wall that the things here are the real treasures." Although these oil can't be converted into money for a while, as long as you put in the energy to do it in the future, it will definitely be more valuable than the gold. ”
"But we can't get the oil out now. If we go out soon, we have to fight with Yin Lihui, we still have to use that gold, right? Qingdi asked.
Chu Yaocen nodded, "However, after the peace is over, let people dig up these oils, and my regime will definitely be more stable with a steady stream of wealth support." ”
Qingdi glanced at him and sighed: "I originally thought that Xiaohu brought so many people to move gold, and after we went out, we would be able to take action, and we would be foolproof, but I didn't expect her to fall out with us at this time, and then, even if she brought the gold out, we wouldn't be able to take the slightest benefit." ”
Chu Yaocen hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "Yes, I didn't expect us to work in vain to help Xiaohu find gold, and Xiaohu won't take us to play." ”
When Qingdi saw his calm expression, he felt that he was not worried about anything at all. She wondered: "Did you expect Xiaohu to betray us a long time ago, and you have already thought of countermeasures?" ”
"Well, I can feel Xiaohu's inner entanglement a lot of times in the early stage, she is actually quite simple and won't hide anything, so I also guessed that she would cross the river and tear down the bridge when she saw the treasure. As for the solution...... I need an opportunity now to make this happen. Chu Yaocen took Qingdi's hand and began to walk outside.
"It's really hard to estimate people's hearts, but the general direction is still according to my plan. There's plenty of time, and we still have a chance. ”
The road behind seems to be much smoother, and the mechanisms are rare. Qingdi even suspected that Chu Yaocen knew that this road was safe from the beginning, but he deliberately took Xiaohu and them to another way, because he knew that Xiaohu was going to betray them, so he used this method to get rid of Xiaohu.
Otherwise, why not go this way in the first place?
Soon they reached the exit of the mausoleum, where the harsh sunlight shone in, and all four of them stopped, intending to wait for their eyes to adjust to the light before going out.
By the light, Chu Yaocen looked at the Qingdi carefully and couldn't help laughing.
Qingdi also glanced at him, and asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Chu Yaocen stretched out his hand, wiped her face with gentle movements, and said, "It really made you suffer a lot and make it dirty." ”
Although Qingdi can't see his face, he knows when he thinks about it, it must be dust. She also wiped it vigorously, and originally wanted to laugh at Chu Yaocen, but when she looked at him, she found that his hair was neat and there was no dust on his face...... It's so infuriating!
"Did we walk all night in the mausoleum?" Wan Kill asked out loud as he covered the light with his hand.
"All night? How do I think we've spent four or five days in the mausoleum? Shadow said suspiciously, touched his stomach again, and said: "I've eaten all the dry food I brought, I'm still hungry, if I don't come out again, I'll consider eating the corpses of those who died." ”
Wan Kill glanced at him with disgust: "As for it?" And you feel wrong, where are there so many days, I haven't eaten much dry food with me. ”
"Are you embarrassed? You don't want to think about how long you were in a coma, I was taking care of you during your coma. "There is no trace to argue with him.
The meaningless quarrel between the two of them will not be annoying, but will be interesting and relaxed. Qingdi finally felt that she had come out of the oppressive atmosphere, and the burden on her body was suddenly lifted, she walked outside, and after her eyes gradually saw things, she turned back to everyone and said, "Come out and see, all the flowers on the mountain are blooming." ”
The three of them listened to it, and they also went out to take a look, and really saw the spring flowers all over the mountains, which bloomed exceptionally warmly.
After a few glances at the spring flowers, Qingdi looked back at the back and said, "I don't know when Xiaohu will come out." ”
"If she's not too stupid, she'll be able to come out in two hours. Even if she's stupid, some of her subordinates still have brains, don't worry, it'll be fine. ”
Qingdi nodded: "That's the best." ”
"No, it's not good at all, we still have an urgent matter to solve now." Chu Yaocen finally showed a little worry, he looked at Qingdi and said, "Next, let's go north." ”
"Heading further north?" Qingdi twisted his brows and said, "Are you going to find Yin Sheng now?" ”
"No, I'm going to find the golden lotus and save you."
Qingdi also thought of this, pondered for a moment, turned around and asked without a trace: "Without a trace, does it really have to be a golden lotus?" I don't feel anything uncomfortable now, I feel like the poison in my body has been unraveled. ”
"It really has to be...... Madame doesn't feel uncomfortable now, because the bugs are still sucking toxins, not Madame's flesh. In two or three days, Madame will ...... "I can't go on without a trace, Chu Yaocen is also a person with superb medical skills, and he understands the seriousness of this matter."
"So you have to find the nasturtium by tomorrow night. Nasturtium lives in the high mountains and mountains of the north, and it is very precious, so we will go north now, and contact the people of the Huilong Sect along the way to look for this flower, and if we know who has it, no matter how much it costs, we must buy it. Chu Yaocen said.
"Let's go now, we'll find it by tomorrow night?" Qingdi really felt that this idea was too unreal, and said, "Yao Cen, we just came out of the mausoleum, we are sleepy and tired, we need to rest for at least two days before we can continue to act, right?" You're a human being, and you need to rest. ”
Chu Yaocen shook his head, "Nothing is more important than your life. After killing and disappearing, continue to wait here for us to come back, and I will go with Qingdi. ”
Wan Kill and Shadow looked at each other without a trace, and Wan Kill stepped forward and said: "Second Master, I'd better go with you, I can help you contact the people of the Dragon Sect in advance, otherwise you have to contact others while looking for herbs, I'm afraid there won't be enough time." ”
Shadow also said: "Second master, I am also with you, no matter what, I can also help out." ”
Chu Yaocen hesitated for a moment and said, "You better stay here, firstly, you really need to have a good rest, and secondly, you can also help me keep an eye on the little tigers and see what they do after they come out." ”
The task here is also very important, and I can't refuse to be without a trace and finish killing, so I have to agree to stay.
Qingdi couldn't resist Chu Yaocen, not to mention that his life was really important, so he went back to the inn to clean up, took a simple bath, and was about to leave here when someone suddenly found Chu Yaocen.
It's Yin Jixuan.
Yin Jixuan had been waiting for Chu Yaocen here for a long time, and he knew that if Chu Yaocen came out of the mausoleum, he would definitely have to go back to the inn to clean up. Now when he saw Chu Yaocen, he flew over and hugged him, patted him on the back and said, "Brother Chu, it's so good to see you, I know you won't die easily." ”
When Chu Yaocen saw him, he was also surprised for a while, and then smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, when Yin Lihui wanted to take my life, I couldn't fight them alone, so I fled somewhere else. I still have something to do, and I'll tell you all about it later. ”
Yin Jixuan let go of him and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Have you got the treasure from the First Emperor's Mausoleum? ”
"As you can see, I didn't bring anything out. It was not easy for us to make it out alive. I need to get out of here now and find a herb for Qingdi to save her life. ”
"What's wrong with my sister-in-law?" Yin Jixuan said with concern: "What medicine are you looking for?" Where to look? I'll help you. ”
Chu Yaocen thought about it quickly, now that Yin Jixuan is still a prince, it is indeed much easier to have his help, so he said: "Golden lotus, there are more in the north, there should be no here." ”
Yin Jixuan nodded: "You take your sister-in-law to the north first, I will immediately ask my people to help find the golden lotus, if you find it, the people through the post station will contact you at any time and send you the herbs." The speed of the post station is fast and safer. ”
Chu Yaocen nodded, it is convenient to be an official, and the messengers and horses used to deliver letters are the best and fastest.
Chu Yaocen said goodbye to him and left Chang'an with Qingdi.
At the same time, Xiaohu and Yin Yongmin finally came out of the mausoleum. About three hundred and fifty of her guards found them, and they all did their best to bring out some of the gold. And the few guards that Yin Yongmin brought down did not follow. Xiaohu's people tied up Yin Yongmin, thinking that this person would definitely be useful in the future.
The place that comes out is not the entrance that came in at the beginning. So Yin Yongmin's people didn't have a chance to plot against Xiaohu and them.
Xiaohu saw that the gold was not easy to move, so he asked people to go back to the place where they had come in at the beginning, because there were still a few carriages there to hold gold. As a result, when they got there, they found that the person they had left to guard the entrance had indeed been killed by Yin Jixuan's people. Xiaohu and many guards were angry, Xiaohu pointed at Yin Yongmin and ordered his guards: "Kill him!" ”
Note: Paraffin water and fire oil are all other names for black gold oil.
