"Pills?" Zhao Xuan looked carefully, the box was already shattered, and palm-sized pieces of wood, some fragments of paper or leather were scattered around the box.

I really didn't see any traces of "pills".

"This is." Zhang Yuan approached the wooden box, held the headlamp in one hand, and pointed to the black things in the box with the other and said, "It's wrapped in oily paper." And this one, which is spread out. ”

"This is the elixir? The kind of immortal cultivators? Zhao Xuan really had no way to connect the things in front of him that were similar to excrement with the legendary elixir.

"Cultivating immortals!" Zhang Yuan scolded and said, "I've read too many of you in the novel." ”

"Didn't you say it's an elixir?"

"Hmph." Zhang Yuan sneered and said, "Write 'pill', pronounce 'poison'!" 'Pin'! ”

"What do you mean!" Zhao Xuan was taken aback.

Zhang Yuan explained: "It is said that it is alchemy, most of the materials are poisonous, especially after modern times, hmph, I don't believe that half of the content is opium poppy." ”

"What does that have to do with the well?"

"I took this thing out when the spring went out." Zhang Yuan pointed to the hole next to him: "From here, it flows down to the well." When Song Shaozhen and them came in the afternoon, they went down to the well to find out if there was anything similar, and then tested the composition of the well water. ”

"But this 'elixir' has no healing effect?" Zhao Xuan deliberately accented the word "pill".

"It's definitely not okay to eat it directly. But if diluted in water, the sedative and analgesic effects of these things are still there. Zhang Yuan said: "Coupled with the psychological effect of superstition, you will naturally feel 'cured'." ”

Zhao Xuan nodded. This explanation makes sense, of course, these are all speculations, and everything will not be determined until Song Shaozhen and his party study it.

Of course, it's best to be sure that there are no anomalies. Although this is what the job does, according to the bureau, the best discovery is not discovered.

The two of them then went through the rest of the boxes one by one.

In addition to the elixir, there are also some antiques, Taoist magic weapons and the like, and most of the rest are weapons, armor, food, and so on.

In fact, Zhao Xuan couldn't see anything except the weapons and armor that could see the shapes, and the rest of the things didn't see what they were.

"This should be something that was put away after the Qing Dynasty." Zhang Yuan shone his headlamp around and said, "This is to prepare for disaster avoidance." ”

"Disaster avoidance? Not afraid of drowning? ”

"Please, brother, use your brain, don't ask me anything." Zhang Yuan complained, but still said to Zhao Xuan: "The materials are dead people, aren't they, the materials should be hidden deeply, why are people going so deep?" ”

"Okay, okay, okay. Is there nothing you're looking for? Zhao Xuan hadn't forgotten the real purpose of the two of them coming here, but he didn't find any books or anything like that.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan raised his finger and pointed to the stone wall that could shoot hidden weapons, and said, "There is another room behind here, and valuables should be in it." ”

"How do you see that?" Zhao Xuan took the headlamp and leaned over the stone wall, but he didn't see anything special.

"Speculative." Zhang Yuan curled his fingers, knocked on the small hole in the stone wall with the knuckle of his index finger, and said, "This is not an ancient tomb, the mechanism is disposable." Since it's a secret room, it definitely needs to be maintained. ”

"So there must be a room behind this mechanism, and since there are more hidden rooms, then valuables will naturally be placed in it." Zhao Xuan continued to follow Zhang Yuan's speculation, and admired Zhang Yuan's reasoning ability a little.

"Haha, lied to you." Zhang Yuanle said: "Actually, I measured it outside the door and found that the depth of the room was wrong." ”

"Your uncle."

"Alright, let's take a look."

The two searched for a short time before they found the entrance to the second secret room.

Just two or three meters to the left of the large and small holes, there is a small strip of stone that is separate, not staggered like the others.

In ancient times, whether it was with torches or oil lamps, the lighting conditions would have made this place difficult to find, but in modern lighting conditions, it is somewhat obvious.

Zhang Yuan touched up and down in front of the secret door, and found that one of the stones could be moved, and pushed it in, and the other side of the stone turned out, and the stone was empty, just enough to turn into a doorknob.

"Yo Roar, that's a good design." Zhang Yuan sighed, pulled the handle and pulled the stone door open.

This time, I didn't encounter any hidden weapons or anything, and the length and width of the stone gate were about one meter, so you can enter by bending down.

The two of them bent into the second room, which was half smaller than the one outside.

The walls on both sides are directly connected to the natural rocks.

The inward side is directly the rock wall, and there is no wall.

Behind the wall where the mechanism was installed, more than a dozen holes the size of shoeboxes, large and small, were cut, and a stone pillar hung down from the roof, and some hooks of different lengths were carved into them.

This pillar should be connected to the stone gate outside in some way, causing a general effect, causing Zhao Xuan to shoot it as soon as they pushed the door.

As for your own people, it's also simple, as long as you don't open such a big angle.

The bowstring inside the hole is also made in the stone, tied directly to the stone.

Zhao Xuan went up to check them one by one with great interest, and found that only four or five strings were still intact, and the rest had been broken.

Inside the carved grooves, there were also wooden crossbow arrows, which, like the chests outside, had been reduced to debris, and the iron arrows were crooked to the side.

"Tetanus enchanted, I'll go." Zhao Xuan reached in and pinched an arrow.

I found that it was already brittle, and the iron filings fell down with a slight force. Putting the arrow back, he asked Zhang Yuan again: "Is there a precedent for this design?" Probably from what dynasty? ”

"I haven't seen it." Zhang Yuan clasped his hands and was also looking at this mechanism.

Hearing Zhao Xuan's question, he shook his head and said: "If you know the principle, the design method will be strange." As for the dynasties, there are no characteristics, and they all have to be identified. ”

Zhao Xuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then take a look inside." ”

With that, turn around and look inside.

There was a wooden chest near the wall near the mechanism, and like the outside, there were crossbow arrows and bowstrings.

Others are supposed to be tools, and appear to be used to maintain mechanisms.

Further in is a three-meter-long stone table with only two legs, half of which is stuck in the cliff wall.

On the stone table lay three or four small chests, dark gold, well preserved.

"Kim, I'll it." Zhang Yuan got closer to take a closer look, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "This box is at least dozens of catties, these boxes are not considered cultural relics, and precious metals alone are worth tens of millions." ”

"So, it's not unjust that your old Zhang family was cut down after the founding of the People's Republic of China." Zhao Xuan also went up and found that there were some patterns carved on the box, but it was stained with water stains and could not be seen clearly.

"What our family, that's their old Zhang family! My family is a side branch, and it can't be counted. Zhang Yuan refuted Zhao Xuan dissatisfied, and walked to the room outside: "Don't move, I'll go get the gloves." ”

Zhang Yuan handed Zhao Xuan a pair of two pairs of plastic gloves for surgery from the bag placed outside, and said while wearing them: "It's more or less a cultural relic, let's protect it." ”

Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and said in his heart that if you really want to protect, you should turn around and go back at this time, and then conduct professional archaeological research when professional archaeologists come.

But this is also in the mind, after all, it is not spoken.

Zhang Yuan didn't stop while talking, and he had already opened the lock of a box.

I don't know how to seal the box, but it wasn't soaked in water.

Zhang Yuan continued: "This place should be maintained for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to open it, if it is sealed for a long time, it will all turn to ashes when it is opened." ”

Zhao Xuan also knows that some items that have been stored in an oxygen-free environment for a long time will oxidize rapidly if they are suddenly exposed to oxygen, but that is no more.

Originally, I wanted to ask Zhang Yuan, but when I heard Zhang Yuan say this, I should be very familiar with these things, so I went with him.

Sure enough, as Zhang Yuan expected, after opening it, the contents of the box did not change much.

Flipping through the oiled paper wrapped in the box, I found that the box contained some jade, which should be something related to the inheritance of the main gate.

Zhang Yuan saw that it had nothing to do with what he was looking for, so he re-covered the oiled paper, carefully closed the box, and buckled it up.

Further down, the other chests contained things like seals, scrolls, and the like.

At this time, Zhao Xuan and the others didn't know how much damage they had dealt to the self-proclaimed orthodox Heavenly Master heirs on the other side.

Whether it is a seal belonging to the righteous faction, or a holy decree that conspires with the feudal rulers to prey on the common people.

or a famous painting with a clear record of accompanying someone's funeral, which makes the orthodox dispute no longer suspenseful.

Of course, the current two don't know this, and they are still checking the boxes one by one.

"The last one......" Zhang Yuan was a little nervous: "If this is not in this box, the master will jump from here." ”

"You're such a big buffer, you can't fall to death." Zhao Xuan didn't know how to comfort Zhang Yuan, so he had to tease.

"Get out." Zhang Yuan scolded back and slowly opened the box in front of him.

Flipping through the oiled paper, there were indeed half boxes of books in the box, but what stunned the two of them was that above these books, there was a wrapped plastic bag!

The two looked at each other, this thing, this place should definitely not appear.

There was only one possibility, and that someone had already been here before they came.

Strangely, there was no sign of theft, except for a little thing left.

Zhang Yuan picked up the plastic bag, opened it, and found that there was only a folded letter inside.

Spreading out the letterhead, as soon as he shone his headlamp on the letterhead, he let out an exclamation: "I'll wipe it." ”

There weren't a few lines on the letterhead, but I just glanced at it casually and read it in a few seconds.

Zhang Yuan handed the letter to Zhao Xuan and said, "How can it be so coincidental? ”

Zhao Xuan took the letterhead, and it was written: "I took away a copy of the Xuanyi Sutra, it is useful." If you have the chance, please send the letter to the 'Second Special Service Bureau of the Ministry of State Security'. ”

Then there is a dragon flying and phoenix dancing "Zhang" character.

"Holy." When Zhao Xuan saw this, he let out an exclamation just like Zhang Yuan. Turning his head and asking Zhang Yuan, "Do you know this handwriting?" Someone in the unit? ”

"Know, why don't you know!" Zhang Yuan exhaled and said, "Your uncle's, my grandfather!" ”
