Chapter 171 [Will Die] (I)

The liquid reacted immediately when it landed on the gold carved plate, and they were even more pleased that the liquid was more corrosive to gold than steel.

The two carefully controlled the scope of the liquid corroding the gold, and used most of the bottle, and the gold carved plate below had dissolved an irregular round hole with a diameter of about eighty centimeters, Lu Weilin saw that there was still liquid in it, and decided to expand the hole a little more, and when the bottle mouth was poured, a yellowish transparent object the size of a dragon's eye rolled out with the liquid. The ball landed on the metal plate and slid down at an angle.

Luo Hunt's eyes were quick, and he pressed the ball down, he was wearing gloves, and it had been proven that the liquid in the bottle would not corrode the gloves.

Luo Lie's first reaction was that the small ball in this celadon vase was likely to be the treasure collected by Prince Rui Yixun, Prince Rui's scheming can be described as unfathomable, and he had already realized that there was something wrong with the people around him before he returned from overseas, so he made preparations in advance, and even the worst results had been considered.

The four keys carved from the Seven Treasures Shelter Talisman were handed over to the four cronies, ostensibly to trust them, but in fact, just in case, even if they were killed, these people would inevitably have suspicion and infighting, and it turned out that Yixun's layout finally got his wish.

Luo Lie pocketed the small ball, but fortunately, the person next to him was Lu Weilin, and he and Luo Lie trusted each other, even if it was a rare treasure, they would not covet it.

"I think that's enough!" Lu Weilin said as he looked at the hole they had dissolved.

Luo Lie nodded, the two of them used flashlights to illuminate the bottom, and saw that there was an extremely empty space below, from their position to the bottom should be about twenty meters away, the air below was humid but there was nothing unusual, even compared to the air in the mercury cave was much fresher, the mercury that flowed away from the mercury cave before did not flow into the space below, and the gold coins they threw down before did not know where to go, it seems that the excretion port at the bottom of the mercury cave is not connected here.

The two fixed the rope on the sarcophagus, Luo Lie first slid down the rope, his feet fell to the ground, the ground was paved with dark bricks, Luo Lie first looked around, and did not find any danger, so he flashed the flashlight twice to transmit a signal to his companions above.

Lu Weilin conveyed the information to Bai Yunfei and Fukuyama Uji, and the four of them slipped down from it in turn, originally they all thought that their life was slim, waiting for death in the narrow space in the mercury cave, but now they suddenly came to such a large space, although they could not get out of trouble for the time being, but for them there was already a feeling of willow and flower.

Lu Weilin took off his mask, took a breath of fresh air, and said with relief: "I finally escaped." ”

Bai Yunfei couldn't help but remind him not to be too optimistic: "We just changed to a bigger place, and we haven't escaped yet." ”

Lu Weilin said: "People must be optimistic, according to my experience, Luo Lie's luck has always been good. His words not only showed his optimism, but also expressed his trust in Luo Lie.

Bai Yunfei and Luo Lie have known each other for the shortest time, but Fukuyama Uji deeply agrees with Lu Weilin's words, Luo Lie's ability to retreat from the dangerous Pale Mountain has fully proved this, this guy is indeed a great fortune, maybe this time he can turn evil into good fortune like in the past. Fukuyama Uji didn't expect that Luo Hunt was lucky enough to pick up the hidden treasure in the celadon bottle from under his nose, if he knew, he would inevitably sigh again.

Although the tone of several people was relaxed, no one dared to really relax, maybe they could find a way out, maybe they just went from one cage to another.

They used the beam of the flashlight to look for a possible way to leave, and it didn't take much effort to find a road in front of their right, and after walking along the road for more than ten meters, they saw traces of water seepage, the ground was very clean, almost dusty, if it wasn't in the underground palace, they would even suspect that someone was cleaning here.

Luo Lie was the first to smell the aroma of barbecued meat, he sniffed to make sure that he was not wrong, and the other three also smelled it one after another, they were all very surprised, how could there be a smell of barbecue in this dark underground? But the more he moved forward, the stronger the smell of meat became.

At first, they were pleasantly surprised, since there was barbecue, it proved that there were people living here, but soon they felt apprehensive, after encountering all kinds of underground monsters, who knew if it was a strange creature that barbecued meat?

As they move forward, the aroma of the roast becomes more and more intense. Luo Lie made a gesture, and everyone turned off their flashlights at the same time and took out their respective weapons.

There was a faint light in front of them, and they walked in the direction of the light, and it was not difficult to deduce from the fluctuating light and darkness of the light that there must have been a bonfire lit in front of them. Walking out of the road, the front is cheerful, this should be a place for storing stones, there are all kinds of stones piled up everywhere, in the middle of the field there is a beautiful bronze tripod, under the pile of chopping wood, so valuable bronze tripod is only used as an ordinary pot here.

The one-meter-diameter lid was casually thrown aside, and the water inside the ding should have been boiled, and they could all hear the boiling sound inside.

A man dressed in a tattered Qing Dynasty official uniform sat next to the bronze tripod with his back to his back, holding his knees with his hands, because his body was too thin, and a pair of shoulder blades rose high, like an eagle about to flapp its wings and fly.

On the back of his head was a snow-white braid, neat and meticulous.

Luo Lie and the others stopped at the same time, although the man sat motionless next to Ding, they were all sure that this person must be alive.

Bai Yunfei maintained the style of a character in the rivers and lakes at all times, and said with his fists clenched: "This senior, we have strayed into the treasure land, and I hope that we will not be surprised by the disturbances." ”

The man raised his right hand, and the wide sleeves of his robe slid down, revealing a skinny, swarthy arm, with five fingers like bird's claws, skinny and sharp nails, and slowly waved his hand.

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, this person didn't know how long he had lived underground, and a long claustrophobic life would greatly damage a person's language ability, maybe he couldn't speak anymore.

Fukuyama Uji said in a low voice: "This person is weird. ”

Lu Weilin picked up his pistol and aimed it at the man's head, as long as the strange man made any abnormal move, he would unceremoniously blow up the man's head.

Bai Yunfei lowered his voice and said, "Look at his clothes, they are the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Luo Lie suddenly remembered one thing Ye Qinghong had told himself, when the British and French troops broke into the Old Summer Palace to burn and loot, Wen Feng, the minister in charge of the Old Summer Palace, committed suicide by throwing himself into the sea, there are many things to say about Wen Feng's death, some people say that Wen Feng is afraid of guilt and guilt after committing suicide, some people say that Wen Feng is loyal to his liver and courage, and in order to protect the secret in the garden, he chose to commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea, after so many years, the truth has become unimportant, anyway, Wen Feng's death did not let the Old Summer Palace escape the successive disasters, and now it is reduced to a ruin.

Could this person be Wen Feng? This thought quietly appeared in Luo Lie's mind.

Luo Lie took two steps forward, carefully looked at the official uniform on the man's body, although it was tattered and faded seriously, he could still see some clues, Luo Lie said: "Dare to ask you if you are Lord Wen?"

The man turned his head slowly, his body not moving, but his head spinning all over. The four of them were all very brave, but they also felt shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. A face before their eyes was more of a skeleton than a human.

Not only does this person have no flesh on his arms, but also on his face, his skin is full of bones, and this epidermis is by no means normal, densely covered with black bumps the size of mung beans, seven points ghostly appearance, three points human form.

Luo Lie was not frightened by this person's strange description, and still said politely: "Are you Lord Wen?"

The strange man looked at Luo Lie, then turned his neck back a little bit, and after a while he heard a strange voice say, "Which Lord Wen?"

The four of them heard this strange sound at the same time, and it was definitely not through the larynx, Bai Yunfei pointed to his stomach, and the other party used ventriloquism, which occurred by adjusting the air pressure in his abdomen. This is also one of the secret skills of martial arts, few people can master, this kind of martial arts is often only practiced by some people who have diseases in the throat, ordinary people practice this kind of martial arts does not have any practical significance, but it is also extremely difficult to practice, and the cultivator needs to have a strong internal force.

Luo Lie said: "Minister of the Old Summer Palace, Lord Wen Fengwen!" He approached the strange man as he spoke, and listened to the person's breathing and heartbeat with both ears, with Luo Lie's recent rapid improvement in hearing and ear power, he believed that he could completely grasp the subtle changes in the rhythm of the other party's breathing and heartbeat, but what amazed Luo Lie was that the rhythm of the other party's breathing and heartbeat did not change by half a point, even if he pointed out Wen Feng's name, the other party's emotions did not rise at all.

The other said in ventriloquism: "I thought no one in this world remembered me anymore." He slowly stood up from the ground and then turned around, because his knees were excessively bent, so it looked like he was a little short, so his arms were extremely long, his hands touched his knees, his back was bowed very strongly, the whole person looked like a large shrimp, and his lifeless eyes stared at Luo Lie: "You will all die!"

Lu Weilin said coldly: "Then let's see who will die first." ”

Luo Lie said: "Anyone will die, it's just sooner or later, Lord Wen should live here better than dead." "A person has lived underground away from the crowd and light for a long time, and its loneliness and hard work can be imagined, Fang Kewen has only stayed in the Nine Secret Realm for five years, and has already become the appearance of a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, if the strange person in front of him is really Wen Feng, then he has been living in the underground of the Old Summer Palace for more than fifty years, and it is unimaginable for anyone to suffer such a long time.
