Chapter 12 The Book of Fate

"Brother Li, Brother Li!" Li Shilan shouted and looked at the other side of the corridor, but there was still no one.

was wondering, I heard a voice on the left, and saw Li Cheng walking out of the first secret room where the clothes were collected, while still sorting out his clothes. "Ahem-" Seeing that Li Luo and the others were looking at him, he coughed a little embarrassed and said, "Brothers, how is it?" Did you find someone? ”

"Not yet, is your dizziness getting better?"

"It's much better, I checked carefully just now, but I still haven't found a mechanism that can go up." Li Cheng said a little frustratedly.

Li Shilan and Luo Jian's hearts sank when they heard the news, and they had just seen the beautiful treasures, so they really had mixed feelings in their hearts at this time. But young people are young people, and it's always easy to be optimistic.

"It's okay, Brother Li, there will always be a way!" Li Shilan said reluctantly, and she didn't know what to do.

"Do you want me to help find someone? I'm fine right now. Li Cheng said as he walked over.

"Great! Brother Li. Li Shilan was still hesitating, but Luo Jian readily agreed, "Brother Li, come on, let's find it together!" One more person, one more power! As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Li Shilan again, and pulled Li Cheng towards the end of the corridor. Only then did Li Shilan understand that Luo Jian didn't want Li Cheng to stay by himself, for fear that he would discover the treasures in this room.

The three of them walked briskly to the depths of the corridor, and before they had gone far, they reached the end, where there was a stone door on the right wall and another stone door at the end a few meters ahead. "Let's check this room on the right, you check this one." Luo Jian pointed to the stone gate at the end and said to the fat man Li Cheng, it seems that he wants to support him as far as possible.

"No problem!" Li Cheng said and walked over to push the stone gate effortlessly. Li Luo and the others also quickly entered the room on the right.

After pushing the door in, I looked at the room again, and there were tall bookshelves on three sides. It is full of ancient books and scrolls of calligraphy and paintings. Obviously, these ancient books and calligraphy paintings are also priceless, but they have just experienced the test of gold and silver treasures, and these things are obviously no longer in their eyes. After a brief check, and was about to leave, two pamphlets fell at Li Shilan's feet, Li Shilan bent down to pick up one, and just wanted to pick up the second one, but Luo Jian was already holding it in his hand. "Hehe, be careful, don't damage the artifact again." If this Luo Jian didn't play tricks, he wouldn't be him. "Interesting, when I checked it just now, they were all tomes, but these two books are so small, what kind of books?" Listening to Luo Jian's words, Li Shilan couldn't help but bow her head and carefully look at the booklet in front of her.

I saw a big word written on the dark yellow cover - "Qi"! Turning the first page, there are a few lines of ancient Chinese written vertically, but fortunately, Li Shilan learned well in the ancient Chinese course in middle school. The meaning is probably this: Qi comes from nature and is integrated into all things, so there is a huge amount of energy hidden in it! This book is a recipe for mastering the use of this natural mystery. "It's kind of interesting!" Li Shilan turned the second page while thinking. This page talks about the benefits of practicing this exercise, and the most basic thing is to strengthen the body. As Kung Fu continues to advance, it will be sensitive to various smells and breaths, and it will begin to be collected, controlled, and utilized. At a higher level, you can create the scents, breaths, and airflows you want, and use them to control people and things. If you have talent and hard work, coupled with the assistance of chance, this skill can be practiced to perfection in the realm, and you can have the divine power to turn things around.

"So mysterious!" In normal times, he would certainly not believe it. It's just that after seeing all kinds of incredibles in these secret rooms, he couldn't help but not believe it, and Li Shilan immediately turned the third page. This page is about what kind of people can practice this divine skill. First, you must be a person with a pure nature and good character to practice this skill, and a cunning and deceitful person will go crazy if he practices this skill. Second, those who practice this skill must be extremely sensitive to smells from an early age and have an excellent sense of smell. Li Shilan believes that these two items are in line. Third, it is a specific test method through which it is possible to conclusively determine whether it is suitable for the practice of this skill. The text requires the test taker to: feet open, shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent; Arms raised, shoulder-height, elbows slightly bent, hands as if gripped; The neck and spine are in a line, and the jaw is slightly retracted. Seeing this, Li Shilan thought: "Isn't this Tai Chi?" When I was a child, I went to the park with my grandfather to learn! I couldn't help but pose on the spot and continue to watch. After standing upright, relax your whole body. The abdomen bulges when inhaling, and the chest does not move; The abdomen is concave when exhaling, and the chest does not move. Six times in a row. "Isn't this abdominal breathing? I know. Li Shilan followed and practiced "toad gong". Then it says: Close your eyes at this point, and in turn, take six chest breaths. Then, use the palm of your right hand to press down the dantian three inches below the umbilicus. Li Shilan did so. "Huh!" He found that there seemed to be a small ball in the dantian, and it hit the palm of his hand with a jump!

Seeing this, I just turned the page, and when I turned it, it was written in the book: If there is an air mass hitting the palm of your hand at the dantian, it means that you do have the qualifications to practice this skill. Li Shilan was overjoyed! I couldn't help but jump up and shout: "Yay! ”

"I'm sick!" Luo Jian next to him was taken aback, because before that, he was fascinated by the book in his hand with the word "Mou" written on the cover.

"Brothers, come! Here's the clue! Before Li Shilan could explain to Luo Jian, she heard Li Cheng's eager shout outside the door.

Ebony sarcophagus

Hearing the shout of the fat man Li Cheng, Li Shilan casually put the booklet in her pocket and immediately ran out with Luo Jian. Li Chengzheng stood outside the stone gate at the end of the corridor, waved his hand at Li Luo and the others, and said, "Come with me!" The two followed Li Cheng into the room at the end of the corridor.

When you enter the room, you will see a wall on the right and the space to the left. On the wall opposite the door are two shelves, about the size of a normal bookshelf, except that instead of books, there are bottles and jars and boxes. The two didn't have time to take a closer look, and had already followed Li Cheng to the left wall. Li Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed, "Look! The two of them were shocked again!

I saw three big black and glowing sarcophagi side by side! Right! That's right! It's jet black glowing, glowing with "black light"! "These three sarcophagi must have been made of some precious special material!" Li Shilan thought to herself. At the same time, it was found that the lids of the three sarcophagi were all leaning against the side of the coffin, all of which were already open. Then he looked into the sarcophagus on the far left, although Li Shilan's heart had experienced a lot of ups and downs in the past two days, she still couldn't help but feel a nervous feeling in her heart - it was another corpse! "What can it be if there is not a dead man in the coffin?" Li Shilan was so relieved in her heart.

"Brother, look here!" Li Cheng pulled Li Shilan to the two sarcophagi on the right, pointed inside, and said.

"It's all empty!" Luo Jian said.

"That's not right!" Li Cheng said, "You look carefully at the bottom of the coffin. ”

Li Luo and the others leaned down separately to take a closer look. "Huh! What is furry? Luo Jian reached out and touched it, "It's fur!" At this time, Li Shilan also saw the situation clearly, and a thick fur coat was spread in each of the two coffins. When I took it out and looked closely, the style of the fur clothes was a bit strange, and there were no buttons, and the condition also looked very old. And the most important thing is that he smelled the long-lost orchid fragrance again!

"Thank you, Brother Li, we've found the right place!" Li Shilan was a little excited, "They should have spent the night here before!" ”

"You mean, the female classmate you're looking for has spent the night in a coffin before? It's not a small amount of courage! Li Cheng was a little unconvinced.

"I don't think it's impossible. These chambers are all made of stone, and it can be cold on the ground at night in the current season! Luo Jian analyzed, "And they have been trapped for several days without eating, and their bodies must be very weak and afraid of cold!" So, I guess those two fur coats were taken in the box in the first room, and then spread in the sarcophagus, so that the space is small and you can try to keep it as warm as possible! Do you think so? ”

"Makes sense! Reasonable! Li Cheng clapped his hands and agreed, "College students are college students, and the head of analysis is the Tao!" ”

"Brother Li, you were here just now, did you find any other clues?" Li Shilan asked.

"Hmm—I briefly checked the bottles and cans on the shelves over there, and I didn't find anything special."

"Okay, Brother Li, thank you! You take a break and we'll check it again. After Li Shilan finished speaking, she beckoned to Luo Jian and walked towards the storage shelf.

Li Cheng made an OK gesture, then rested against the wall, picked up the mineral water and took a sip.

Li Luo and the others can now say that they basically trust Li Cheng, so they don't shy away from looking for the mechanism on the shelf. They thought that no one had been found in any of the rooms now, and Lin Lanyue and the others must have been here, according to their previous experience, there must be another entrance to the secret room!

The two of them carefully examined the objects on the shelves, trying the previous method, lifting, rotating, and pressing the utensils. In the process, I found that although the things placed here are also exquisitely made, the value is definitely far less than that of the previous room, and it seems that they are all utensils or boxes for holding items. Some boxes say "agarwood"; Some bottles read "intermittent cream"; There are also jars with "Tiger Whip" written on them - it seems that most of them are precious medicinal herbs and spices.

Just as the two of them were still concentrating on investigating, they suddenly heard a scream from the corridor! Then came the howling of ghosts and wolves. It sounds familiar!
