Chapter 120: The Secret Room in the Forest

ใ€Lewenใ€‘. Alas, for you to read wonderfully.

Seeing Li Yunsheng cautiously moving forward, there was nothing else to be found around except for the two phalanges in his hands, and he could only see leaves and weeds covering the ground.

The more I walked, the deeper I went into the east mountain, and suddenly I found that there was a cave on the stone wall in front of me, which was hidden by the trees and grass growing indiscriminately in front of the cave, and I could only see through the gap in the grass.

Li Yunsheng walked quickly to the door of the cave, there was a wooden door outside the door, but there was no lock on the wooden door, and the door buckle was covered with ash and a fallen yellow leaf.

Li Yunsheng felt that his heart was beating faster, and he involuntarily moved his Adam's apple, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door, the wooden door was a little heavy, and Li Yunsheng increased the strength in his hand to push the door open.

By opening the door and letting in the light, I found that the cave in front of me was not very large, with only a few old wooden tables and some cleaning tools, and some bamboo baskets on the ground, which were much larger than those in ordinary people's homes.

Presumably just a pile of debris and a cleaning tool to clean up this forest, Li Yunsheng looked back and forth in the cave by the light, except for the confusion of why he wanted to place debris so far away, what kept coming to his mind were the two finger bones of the person in his hand.

Before Li Yunsheng realized that he was about to leave the cave, when he turned around, he accidentally bumped into the corner of the wooden table, and dropped the half of the phalanges he was holding in his hand into the back basket, and the back basket overlapped the other, and the slender finger bones continued to fall down from the gap in the first back basket.

These two phalanges must have appeared in the woods here, because something had happened here, and even though he had not found anything now, these two phalanges were to be brought back anyway, after all, human life was at stake, and he had to tell his uncle truthfully when he returned, and come here to investigate carefully.

Li Yunsheng took out the stacked back baskets one by one, and finally picked up half of the phalanges, wiped the ashes on the bones, and put them into his arms.

When I looked down, I suddenly found that there was a not-so-obvious gap between the ground where the basket had been placed and the ground next to it.

Li Yunsheng touched the gap in the ground, removed the other baskets and brooms placed above, and saw that there was a large floor on the ground that was separated from the surrounding ground.

Constantly groping the ground with his hands, he suddenly felt a bulge near the corner of the wall, and Li Yunsheng pressed it hard.

The ground that was separated in front of him slowly made a "squeak" sound, and gradually opened, Li Yunsheng looked down through the sunlight, and the range that could be seen was not much, only the steps could be clearly seen down, and beyond that, it was pitch black.

I wonder what this will look like down here? What does the phalanx in his bosom have to do with this underground chamber?

If it weren't for the fact that I felt extremely relaxed in this Taoist temple and wanted to go out and take a look, if I hadn't kicked the white bones that fell into the pile of trees, I would not have discovered this secret room hidden in the deep mountains of the Taoist temple.

Look at the ash in this cave, no one has been here for some time, and now there are only a few people in this Taoist temple, if you don't go down to this secret room to check it today, there will definitely be no such a good time to explore in the future.

Li Yunsheng stood at the entrance and thought about it, but decided to go down and have a look today.

The entrance of the stone slab is very large, and it must not be a problem for two people to pass side by side, Li Yunsheng hunched over and stepped lightly on the steps, groping his way down.

After walking the steps in the faint light, when I got up, I felt the feel of a fire fold on the ground, and when I saw it, it was indeed a fire fold, and then I squatted down and touched the flint that was placed next to it.

After Li Yunsheng rubbed the flint to light the fire fold, he found that there were candles inserted in the surrounding walls through the light emitted by the fire fold, so he walked forward and lit a row of candles inserted in the wall.

Because Li Yunsheng's entry brought up the dust on the ground, the already dark room was even more gray, Li Yunsheng expected that no one had come in this room for a while, so he brushed away the dust floating in front of him with his hands, and walked on tiptoe indoors.

After Li Yunsheng put the fire fold back in its place, the first thing he saw was the bottles and cans on the wooden table, in addition to the many bottles and cans on the table, there were also spots of dark red that seemed to have soaked into the wooden table, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be a piece of blood stains.

Li Yunsheng casually picked up a bottle on the table, tore off the stopper, and found that there were several black pills inside, Li Yunsheng poured one out on the table, and couldn't see anything abnormal, so he picked it up with his hand and smelled it, as if there was a trace of sweetness, because he didn't dare to try it casually, he had to put the pill back into the bottle.

After opening the other bottles on the table, he found that there were powdered bottles in addition to the pills, thinking about the finger bones of the person he was carrying in his arms, Li Yunshan didn't dare to even take a big breath in the room.

Walking towards the secret room, he also found an iron railing, and in the middle of the iron fence was a chained with the thickness of his wrist, Li Yunsheng opened the door of the railing and picked up the iron chain, which looked like a bracelet and leg cuffs in an official prison cell.

There were a few pieces of clothing under the chain, not the clothes of Taoist priests, but some clothes worn by ordinary people, Li Yunsheng shook his clothes, the clothes were larger, it looked like the outer robe of an adult man, and there were spots of dark red blood stains on it, even smaller than those on the table, if you didn't look carefully, this little blood stain would definitely not be found.

That's where the phalanges in your arms came from, right?

What happened in the woods, with the iron bars of the people, the bloodstained clothes, and the bones that fell in the woods? What is this chamber for? What were the pills and powders on the table?

In this already pure and holy Taoist place, why is there a blood-stained secret room, and is the owner of this secret room a Taoist or someone else?

Standing in this secret room, looking at the clothes in his hands, Li Yunsheng's heart was full of doubts and anger, and the feelings of justice rooted in his heart kept coming out, and he desperately wanted to know more secrets about this place.

Li Yunsheng walked out of the iron bar, and next to it was a huge cabinet, under which were several chicken feathers scattered on the ground.

When he opened the cabinet, he found that in addition to many bottles and jars, there were also some withered plants, and a few of the grasses made Li Yunsheng frown, and picked up one of the grasses, the roots of the grass had slightly different lines.

I look like I've seen it somewhere... Yes! This is clearly a withered vine grass!

In the past, when I was training in the lieutenant camp, I went to the woods to train in the camp once, and I went with my uncle to camp in a mountain.

During this period, a soldier was suddenly poisoned and died, and he followed his uncle to check, and he was already bleeding from the seven orifices, and the posture of his hands and feet was very strange, not like the angle that ordinary people could pose, but the surrounding soldiers all said that the dead soldier just came back after drinking water by the stream, but the soldier who drank water next to him did not show signs of poisoning.

The uncle opened the mouth of the dead soldier and found some leaves that had not yet been chewed clean, and when he pulled them out, he felt so disgusted and frightened that he just watched from a distance and did not dare to come near.

In the evening, my uncle told him about the incident, and it turned out that the soldier had accidentally eaten the poisonous withered vine grass and died in his stomach.

Withered vine grass likes shade and generally grows not far from the stream and river, except that the root of the grass has a line very similar to that of the dead tree, and it is no different from other non-poisonous grasses.

After the dead soldier drank the stream water, he prepared to walk back, pulled a few grasses beside him, and walked back with the grass in his mouth without noticing.

On the way back, the roots of the grass in his mouth were bitten away, and the juice of the withered vine grass slowly overflowed, and as the swallowed saliva flowed into the soldier's pharynx, intestines, and stomach, the poison spread quickly through the body, and in a short time it spread from the stomach to the whole body.

Without immediate detection and detoxification, the soldier walked back to the camp and died of bleeding and stiffness.

My uncle specially explained to him the growth habits and characteristics of withered vine grass, and it will not be poisoned if you touch it at will, but it will only cause poisoning after eating the juice of the root of withered vine grass.

Poisonous withered vine grass was found in this secret room, and the other plants placed with withered vine grass must not be gentle and harmless.

In this way, it seems that most of the bottles and cans contained in these bottles and cans are very likely to be poisonous, but Li Yunsheng can't test the medicine himself, so he can only take one bottle from each and study it carefully when he returns.
