Sure enough, I was on a huge black sand stone, and around this black sand stone, which was about seven or eight meters in diameter, it was covered with fiery red magma! As far as the eye can see, it looks like an incomparably huge lake of fire!

Looks like I'm stuck on this black gravel. What the hell is going on!? Didn't I know I was in my room before I passed out, but how did I end up in such a hellish place now!?

I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly my mind jumped: Wait! Am I dead, and this place is the legendary Purgatory of the Underworld!?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and then look around, not to mention, this ghost place is really a little similar to the legendary Purgatory of the Underworld.

According to the book, in the purgatory of the underworld, there is a lake of fire burning with the fire of purgatory, and the endless magma in front of you is not a huge lake of fire!

Am I really dead!?

Suddenly, a complicated feeling came to my heart, I didn't expect that I would "die" like this, and after "death", I would still go to hell!

I sat on the floor, at a loss, what should I do now? Are you waiting for the imps of hell to come and grab me and throw me into this fiery magma? Or do I have to jump into the lake of fire on my own?

I was muttering in my heart when I suddenly heard a loud "bang" behind me. I quickly turned my head to take a look, only to see that on the surface of the magma lake, which was about ten meters away from me, a huge "Lang flower" was lifted.

I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that there was something in the magma lake!? But what could live in magma at thousands of degrees? I quickly stood up, my eyes fixed on the surface of the lava lake.

Nothing, however, came out of the lake, and after a few moments the lake was calm again.

I was wondering when I suddenly noticed that a huge whirlpool had just appeared on the surface of the lake. The diameter of the whirlpool is more than a foot, and it is constantly expanding, and the speed of magma flow in the whirlpool is getting faster and faster. After a while, the entire magma lake seemed to boil.

The situation in front of me made me feel a little scared, what would happen next? Will the water level of the lava lake rise and eventually swallow up the boulder I'm in now? Or is the whole boulder I'm in now simply melted by the fiery lava?

Thinking that my body might be engulfed by fiery magma, I felt as if I had seen my flesh and blood quickly burned to ashes by the heat.

The more I thought about it, the more desperate I felt, and my body trembled involuntarily.

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the surface of the lake was turned up again, and then a huge pillar of fire suddenly burst out of the whirlpool and rushed into the air.

I subconsciously raised my eyes to take a look, and I was suddenly speechless, and what came out of the magma lake was a fire dragon with a red body!

The dragon was very similar to what I had seen in the book, suspended in mid-air, staring at me with a pair of huge blood-red eyes, a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and from time to time hot molten droplets fell into the lava lake, as if it was going to swallow me at any moment.

I felt a chill rush to my head, my whole body froze, and my mind was completely blank for a moment.

The dragon opened its mouth and let out a deafening groan, and then its huge head slowly leaned towards me.

My heart couldn't stop beating wildly, it seemed that I was going to die today, and I had almost no chance of surviving in the face of such a terrifying dragon. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, wasn't I already dead? Do you want to die again? Or will I be gone, and I will never be able to live again!?

The dragon's eyes radiated an incomparably fierce momentum that made me dare not look at it directly, so I simply closed my eyes and waited quietly for what was going to happen next, whether it was to die again or to lose my soul, I had no choice but to accept my fate.

However, after a long time, the dragon did not attack me, on the contrary, I felt that my surroundings were getting brighter and brighter.

What's going on!?

Out of curiosity, I secretly opened my eyes a slit, and I was greeted by a bright incandescent lamp and a white ceiling!

I couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly opened my eyes, where was the shadow of the dragon! The lava lake is gone, and I'm lying on the bed in my room.

I scrambled to my feet and looked myself up and down, unharmed. When I looked at my hand again, I was still clutching the ruby, and the ruby was quite intact and showed no signs of cracking.

I hurriedly put the ruby under the light and looked closely, but I found that I could no longer see the almost black and red mass.

What's going on here? Was it just my hallucination? Or was it just a dream?

I was wondering in my heart, and Huang Yixian suddenly came from outside the door, "Ah! A loud scream. My heart tightened, thinking that something had happened to him, so I put the ruby in my hand on the bed, grabbed the fish intestine sword that was placed aside, and hurriedly opened the door and rushed into the living room.

At a glance, Huang Yixian had woken up, and he was looking down for something around the sofa, with an anxious face.

Uncle Zhai and Cheap also ran out of their respective rooms, and Cheap asked, "What's wrong, Dad!?" ”

Huang Yixian raised his head and looked at us, and said with a solemn expression, "That...... That stone box is gone......"

When I heard this, I hurriedly said, "I took the stone box." ”

"It turned out that you kid took it! Scare Lao Tzu! Huang Yixian breathed a sigh of relief.

I explained, "I just went into the living room and saw you dozing off, so I took the stone box into the room. ”

Huang Yixian glared at me: "What are you doing in the room if you have nothing to do!" If you don't take it out quickly, the day is about to dawn, and I have to find a way to open the stone box as much as possible! ”

"No need, uncle, that stone box, I'...... I've opened it. ”

"What!? You opened the stone box!? Huang Yixian's eyes widened, with an incredible look on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "How did you open it!?" ”

"I accidentally cut the palm of my hand, and the blood dripped onto the stone box, and it opened on its own." I replied truthfully.

"Your blood can open this stone box!?" Huang Yixian was even more surprised.

Zhai Bo said on the side: "Since the stone box has been opened, what is sealed inside?" ”

"A ruby!"

"Ruby!? What ruby? ”

"Uh...... It's just a ruby, you wait, I'll show you! As I spoke, I turned and went into the room, picking up the ruby on the bed and the stone box that had been opened.

I handed the ruby and the stone box to Huang Yixian, and the two of them immediately gathered around and studied the ruby with great interest.

Because he always thought that the stone box was sealed with an evil thing, Huang Yixian deliberately brought a compass and placed it next to the ruby, but the pointer on the compass did not react in the slightest.

Huang Yixian couldn't help but wonder a little, and muttered, "It's really strange, this thing doesn't exude the slightest yin and evil aura. It shouldn't be considered an evil thing, but why is the yin qi in the Lin family's old mansion so heavy? ”

Zhai Bo took the ruby in Huang Yixian's hand, looked at it for a long time, and couldn't see any doorway, he turned his head and asked me: "When you opened the box, was there such a ruby in it?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, and I wanted to tell them that the ruby had been split in half and that there was a black gas that I had inhaled into my body, but then I thought about it, and now the ruby was obviously good, and my body was not the slightest abnormal, maybe it was just my own illusion just now, so I nodded and said, "Just such a ruby." ”

"According to that, Old Man Lin is making such a big game just to hide such a ruby?"

The cheap guy asked curiously on the side, "Such a big piece of ruby, it should be worth a lot of money, right?" ”

Huang Yixian nodded and said: "This ruby is very transparent, and the color is quite uniform, and there is not a trace of impurities in it, it should be worth a lot of money, if it is not done well, it is a good thing of great value!" "Huang Yixian has always been interested in jewelry and jade, and although he is not an expert in this regard, he can still say some things.

After listening to Huang Yixian's words, the cheap immediately said with great certainty: "If this ruby is really priceless, then needless to say, the Lin family's tragedy sixty years ago must be related to this thing!" ”

"How do you know?" Huang Yixian asked rhetorically.

"Needless to say! Someone must have known that Old Man Lin had such a priceless treasure hidden in his house, so they came to the door and killed people to seize the treasure, but unfortunately they didn't expect Old Man Lin to hide this thing on the ceiling. All the effort was in vain. ”

Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, then turned his head and asked me, "Shi Yu, what do you think?" ”

I settled down and replied, "I agree with the cheap statement, the people in the cult seem to have a special preference for all kinds of rare treasures, first the soul sarcophagus in Shao Yuanjie's mausoleum, and then the Sui Hou Zhu in the treasure of King Chuang, they seem to be for a unique rare treasure every time. It is not surprising that this ruby became a coveted target. ”

Huang Yixian nodded thoughtfully: "You have some truth in what you said, but I'm afraid things are not so simple." If it was really just such a ruby, how could the extremely heavy yin qi in the Lin family's old mansion be explained? ”

"Could it be that there are other evil things hidden in the Lin family's old mansion?" Cheap said.
