Zhang Qixun pondered it later, and deduced that the old man should have found the little brother alone and wanted the little brother to help him take out something from the ancient building.

And when Wu Xiaoye and the fat man were away, thinking about it, that time could only be when the little brother was hospitalized.

Huo Xiangu couldn't understand what dumb riddles these two were playing, and when she saw the little brother put the two jade rings in her arms, she said suspiciously: "Could it be this?" ”

"What's that?" Huo Xiaoli also looked over curiously, but he didn't see anything clearly, but his attention was quickly attracted by the treasures at the bottom of the coffin.

"It's not." Zhang Qixun shook his head, "The things you want are not here, this kind of jade ring is anti-corpse." ”

Huo Xiangu's face couldn't hide her disappointment, she coughed a few times with some difficulty, and her body fell a little, "As soon as possible, I won't be able to last long." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and motioned for Huo Xiuxiu to help her to the side.

Huo Xiaoli looked at the other jade artifacts at the bottom of the coffin, and his eyes were about to glow green, but he didn't forget to ask for instructions, "Master Yu, can we take these things?" ”

Zhang Qixun picked out the best string of gold silk old beeswax bracelets from it, and took a coral bead agate necklace, which is something that the Tibetan side will give to distinguished guests, even at that time it was extremely precious.

Then he got up and made a casual gesture, and the Huo family cheered a few times, and divided the remaining dozen or so jade artifacts equally according to the valuation.

Huo Xiaoli was lying on the edge of the coffin, reaching into the quilt with both hands and rummaging carefully, and the whole person was about to fall in.

Zhang Qixun turned to look at the wooden plaque on the wall, which recorded the big and small things that Zhang Ruitong had done since he was elected as "Zhang Qiling" at the age of nineteen, but the description of the cause of Zhang Ruitong's death on the last row of wooden plaques was very vague, as if he was deliberately covering up this.

It's just that when he was fighting, he died of illness due to a seizure of soul.

But as far as he knows, that year's "Zhang Qiling" died inexplicably in Sizhou City during the family infighting, and later, at the suggestion of the elders in the clan, in order to cover up the truth, his brother Zhang Ruishan, who was against him, led people to dig through the embankment and flooded Sizhou City with great water, and since then the inheritance of the Zhang family has been broken.

It doesn't matter what the truth is, the important thing is that the little brother got the hexagonal copper bell symbolizing the patriarch's status from the ground when he was released into the wild for the first time.

After that, everything was logical, and the little brother was elected as "Zhang Qiling" by the elders of the clan, and took over the family stall that was already corrupt and disordered internally.

But the emergence of the new "Zhang Qiling" did not change the status quo of the Zhang family's disintegration.

As the patriarch Zhang Qiling, who has not accepted the inheritance ceremony and knows nothing about the secrets of the generational guard, he can only keep entering various cemeteries, hoping to find the meaning of the Zhang family's existence and what he wants to protect.

At this moment, Huo Xiangu, who was standing by the door, began to cough violently again, vomiting blood from her mouth, and the mask of the gas mask was full of blackened blood.

"Head of the house!" Huo Xiuxiu exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly supported the fainted old lady Huo, originally planning to give first aid, but when she touched the old lady's hand, she found that her clothes had soaked the blood oozing from the skin.

It was hard to hide the itch in her throat, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she looked outside, in the dark blue space, a large cloud of white mist spread up from the cracks in the floor, like a demon covered in a white cloth, fluttering out of hell, and the pillars around her were constantly emitting white gas, which was already very close to them.

"Oh no, we need to get out of here!" Huo Xiuxiu carried the old lady on her back and shouted, "The mechanism has been activated, and the alkaline gas will soon spread to our side!" ”

The bodies of the Huo family also had a similar discomfort reaction, and they began to cough incessantly, the alkaline gas in the air was so thick that it was suffocating, and the throat was as uncomfortable as swallowing charcoal, and the lungs seemed to be squeezed by a heavy object, and they could exhale out, but there was very little breath in and in, and the gas mask had completely failed.

The little brother carried the knife, went out to take a look, his face suddenly changed, and he dropped a sentence, "Follow me." He immediately ran down the hallway, where the alkaline had not yet spread.

Everyone in the Huo family stumbled behind him like a swarm, coughing and panting, and the more they inhaled, the more they coughed.

Huo Xiuxiu carried the old lady on her back, the weight was not light, and she was short of breath during the run, and soon she was physically exhausted due to insufficient oxygen supply.

Huo Chushi hurriedly wanted to take over, but Zhang Jixun quickly picked up the person and threw it on his back, and urged quickly: "You two go quickly!" ”

Huo Chu and the eleven looked at him gratefully, didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ran away after everyone.

Zhang Qi turned around and glanced at the large white mist that was about ten meters away from his feet, took out two new gas masks from the space, put them on for himself and Huo Xiangu, and then chased after him with people on his back.

The little brother led the people straight to the end of the corridor before stopping.

When the Huo family saw that there was a wall at the end, they immediately shouted, "Dead end!" Can't get out here! ”

The little brother ignored them, raised his hand and smashed his elbow against the wall, and the wall that originally seemed to be stone was smashed open a round hole, and then he reached in and buckled the iron ring inside, and pulled it outward, and a series of chain friction sounds sounded on the ceiling above his head, and a gap was opened for only one person to enter and exit.

"......" Everyone in the Huo family was overjoyed at first, and then reacted with a look of despair, and there was a mouth, but they couldn't jump up at all at the height of Teniang, and the stacking Arhats were not high enough, and there was no time for them to do the test.

The little brother didn't care what they thought, grabbed a man casually, raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder, jumped up with his strength, stepped on the fence in mid-air, flew up and grabbed the edge of the compartment with a turn of his waist, and climbed up and got into the hole in the ceiling in an instant.

The Huo family jumped down in a hurry, and they didn't know what to do, but when they saw a rope ladder hanging down from above, they were immediately overjoyed, and they hurried up as quickly as possible.

The alkaline gas spread faster than expected, and in the blink of an eye, it flooded the calf.

Zhang Qixun was glad that he had made solid efforts in holding his breath in his early years of training, and only inhaled a little when he couldn't hold on, and with a new gas mask, the poisonous gas he inhaled was only a trace amount.

He suppressed the feeling of wanting to cough in his throat, and quickly climbed the rope ladder with one hand on his back, and when he was about to reach the end, the people above dragged them up.

Seeing that Zhang Qi came up, the little brother immediately put away the rope ladder and pushed the stone slab back to close it.

This space is a very, very small mezzanine chamber, in which people can barely stand up straight, tiptoe their heads to touch the roof, and the walls are dark and oppressive.

Everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief here, but they saw the little brother standing by the wall for a few seconds, and suddenly pushed open a door and flashed in.

The Huo family hurriedly helped each other to stand up, and some people planned to follow over there, but the little brother quickly came out of it again, holding a lot of black window paper in his hand, pouring water from the kettle into the lid, and smearing the water on the edge with his fingers and pasting them one by one on the wall like a New Year's painting.

Everyone looked at them in a daze, hanging their two paws, and some didn't know what to do.

Zhang Qixun had just finished stuffing the gap in the stone slab, turned his head to see such a situation, scolded, and kicked up the person sitting on the ground with three or two feet, "me embarrassed to look at it, why don't you find something to block the gaps here, that's alkaline, gas doesn't understand, it's as slim as air, and it can come in if there is a gap." ”

The Huo family suddenly came to their senses, hurriedly took out the extra clothes from their backpacks, tore them with knives and straps to make strips of cloth, plugged the gaps that might leak, and then completely sealed them with soft wax and oil.

After tossing for more than ten minutes, I finally made this mezzanine room solid to ensure that no alkaline gas leaked in from the outside.

When everything was finally done, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground tiredly.

Huo Xiuxiu was treating Mrs. Huo on the side, Huo Chushi turned on the light and began to count the number of people, counting and counting, no matter how counting, there were two people missing.

"Who isn't there? Name them all. "Huo Chu Shidao.

It's dark here, in order to save resources, they only turned on two flashlights, one in Huo Xiuxiu's hand, and the other Huo Chushi held it, plus they all wore gas masks on their faces, and the black holes were almost the same at first glance.

When the Huo family heard this, they immediately took off their masks and showed their faces, and each reported their names.

After reporting it twice, it was confirmed that there were indeed two people missing, Huo Chushi scolded secretly, "Oh no, Huo Xiaoli and Chu Qi are not here." ”

Zhang Qixun frowned slightly, there was a lot of commotion at that time, he ran out of the cubicle early, and he really didn't pay attention to whether there was anyone left behind, Huo Xiaoli was still turning over the coffin at the time, wouldn't it be in a hurry to fall inside.

It is estimated that the poisonous gas outside has completely diffused around these two floors at this time, and if the two of them can't find a suitable shelter in time, they will definitely not last long and will die, turning into bones wrapped in dried meat.

Huo Chushi was silent for a few seconds, didn't mention the lack of people, and instead began to arrange the next preparations, "All count the equipment in their respective backpacks, this alkaline gas still doesn't know how long it will be released, we have to save resources as much as possible in order for everyone to survive." ”

Huo Chushi is the leader of this small team, although his name is Chu Shi, he is indeed the most powerful one in it, and his leadership ability to deal with emergencies like the current one is still very qualified.

Zhang Qixun also threw away his and his brother's backpacks, "Plus." ”

"Okay." Huo Chushi took it from Shanruliu, added it with their equipment, and then was surprised to find that most of Zhang Jixun's backpack was food, all kinds of things, all kinds of things.

Huo Chushi quietly glanced at Zhang Qixun, and said in his heart that this is really a strange person, but this also just solves their urgent need and allows them to hold on for a while longer.

Huo Chushi gave everyone a part of the food, and everyone didn't even move the nest, half lying down, trying to save their physical strength.

It's not that people who don't have a lively mind glance at the secret door with their eyes slanted, but Zhang Qixun and the little brother are sitting on the edge of the secret door, and they don't have the courage to make a mistake here.

The only person who can be in charge of their affairs and be on an equal footing with Zhang Qixun is Huo Xiangu, but Mrs. Huo has been lying there in a coma, and she can't wake up for a while, looking at the solemn expression on Huo Xiuxiu's face, it is unknown whether she can wake up or not.

For a moment, everyone's thoughts became gloomy, although they were ready to die at any time before they came in, but the process of death was still unbearable for them.

Looking at the two Zhang family members who calmly closed their eyes and recuperated, they felt a little relieved.

Huo Chushi hesitated for two seconds, then cautiously leaned over and asked, "Yu Ye, do you estimate when this wave of Milota will retreat?" ”

Zhang Qixun opened his eyes and glanced at him coldly, "I don't know, but I can tell you that we are not the only people who have come in this building, don't forget that the gringo has been wandering outside for a long time, and they must have found something, the more people come in, the more Milota will be attracted." ”

"Then when Milota retreats, will we be able to get out?" One of the Huo family asked.

"Save it." Zhang Qixun said lazily, "The mechanism has stopped, the alkaline gas has not disappeared, and the wooden structure is the most easily penetrated by gas, even if Milota retreats, they can't get out." ”

"You guys?" The Huo family repeated, staring at Zhang Qixun tightly, "Why you?" Do you know what, and how the caustic mechanism is turned on, we didn't hear the machine running at the time. ”

Zhang Qixun's face turned cold, he tilted his head, and his tone was unclear, "Are you questioning me?" ”

The sweat on the Huo family's head immediately fell, and he stammered a little: "No...... No, I'm just curious, yes, just curious. ”

Zhang Qixun snorted and laughed, his momentum undiminished.

Huo Chushi hurriedly played a round, "Master Yu, you have a lot, don't worry about this kid, he lacks tendons in his brain, and he can't talk with his brain." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and scolded the Huo family, "Chu Jiu, don't hurry up and apologize to Yu Ye!" ”

Huo Chujiu's face turned pale and apologized.

They are all dying people, and Zhang Qixun has no intention of bothering with him, "With such a huge mechanism in the entire ancient building, do you really think that it can be shaken by just a few manpower?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Chu Shi and the others showed inquiring expressions on their faces, "How did that start?" ”

"The rock layer of the mountain where Zhangjia Gulou is located contains a large amount of strong alkali, the top of the mountain in this area is a huge alkali ore, Guangxi has a lot of rain, every time it rains, all the rainwater on the mountain will be washed down from the top of the mountain, and it will be introduced into the canal designed in advance, and it will reach the bottom of the mountain along the dark river channel."

"The start of these natural mountain roads is very special, the flow of rainwater here is greatly slowed down, and there will be a lot of water accumulation on the surface of the mountain roads, which is how the waterholes in the caves we have seen before are formed."
