Long Xiaomo followed Yang Yuting's instructions and carefully turned the purple skeleton. There was no movement at half-ringing.

Yang Yuting suddenly said, "Get out of the way." Then he pulled Long Xiaomo and stepped aside. As soon as he flashed away, he saw two lumps of green viscous liquid spewing out of the two eye holes of the skeleton.

The viscous liquid fell on the ground not far away, Long Xiaomo curiously leaned over to see what it was, but Yang Yuting pushed him aside and said, "What a curious baby who is not afraid of death." As he spoke, he took out a ball of white powder from his bosom and sprinkled it on top of the two green liquids.

Long Xiaomo asked, "What did you spill?"

Yang Yuting said: "Salt. ”

Long Xiaomo was curious: "What's the use of sprinkling salt?"

Yang Yuting said: "These two lumps of liquid are the Gu poison of the Heart Destroying Hall, if you don't care about it, you may turn into some small insects to surprise you in a while." Sprinkle a little eye and they're done. ”

When Long Xiaomo was startled, there was a sudden "click, click" sound, and a huge hole appeared behind the purple skeleton.

Yang Yuting hid behind Long Xiaomo, as if she was a little scared. Long Xiaomo patted Yang Yuting and said, "Don't be afraid, maybe the way out is inside." ”

The hole between them was about three feet square, and Long Xiaomo was just able to walk in with a bent waist. Yang Yuting dragged Long Xiaomo's shirt and followed behind.

Behind the entrance of the cave was a staircase that sloped downward, and Long Xiaomo walked down the stairs not far before entering another cave.

This cave is similar in size to the outer cave, and its location is roughly below the outer cave. It can be seen that it is a hole in the hole dug by Zhao Fugui back then. Compared to the cave outside, this cave is surrounded by stone walls, and the walls are not densely packed with eyes.

This grotto is densely packed with metal chests. The boxes had apparently been left unattended for a long time, and they had rusted on them.

Long Xiaomo said, "These boxes can't be some kind of mechanism, right?"

Yang Yuting said: "There won't be a mechanism, but I suspect that these boxes are all the tools used by the original Heart Destroying Hall to raise Gu." ”

When Long Xiaomo heard this, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Yang Yuting took out a pair of white gloves from her arms and put them on her hands.

After putting on the white gloves, Yang Yuting seemed to be a different person, and immediately switched to a professional state. Squatted down next to a bronze chest, listened with his ears for a moment, and then gently touched the lock of the box.

These copper boxes are no different from the boxes used by ordinary people in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but these locks are very different.

Most of the locks used in the Sui and Tang dynasties were the padlocks that everyone had seen on TV, but the lock on the box was a machine that could be turned, similar to the combination locks of later generations, but much simpler.

Yang Yuting said: "These locks are cast by our Miaoxinfang Qianjitang, I'll try to see if I can open them." ”

Long Xiaomo nodded with her eyebrows raised, and saw that Yang Yuting seemed to be using the same technique as when she turned the skeleton outside. Turn a third to the left, then half a circle to the right, and a quarter to the left.

With a "kata", the boxes jumped, and it seemed that the boxes were opened. Yang Yuting carefully flipped the lid open. Long Xiaomo also leaned his head to look in. I saw that there were a lot of jars and jars in the box.

Yang Yuting said: "Do you want to continue watching?"

Long Xiaomo asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

Yang Yuting said: "Although I haven't seen it, but

You can roughly guess it. The so-called Gu is actually to let the poisonous insects bite each other, leaving the strongest one in the end called Gu. Gu refining requires a large number of poisonous insects, so it is only popular in the Miaojiang area. Most of these pots and jars should be some poisonous insects. But Zhao Fugui himself has been dead for so long. There was no one to take care of the poisonous insects, and eighty percent of them were dead. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "I didn't expect you to be the first to talk about these things, like a little expert." As he spoke, he reached out and opened a porcelain jar to see if what Yang Yuting said was true.

Yang Yuting immediately opened a porcelain jar, and unsurprisingly, there were three scorpions in the jar, and they were still fighting with each other. There were also some stumps of poisonous insects around, apparently those that had been killed.

Yang Yuting said to Long Xiaomo like a popular science commentator: "Look at it, Gu worms are refined like this. Yang Yuting casually opened a few other jars, which contained rare poisons such as red snakes, Tianzu centipedes, and colorful toads in turn. Apparently they were all fighting each other in the jar.

Obviously, the last surviving poison was not duly rewarded, and in the end it starved to death in the jar.

Long Xiaomo pointed to a jar next to him and said, there should be some poisonous insects in this. Yang Yuting shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Long Xiaomo said: "Don't you know if you look at it?" As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and then a fishy smell rose to the sky, Long Xiaomo was so disgusted that his head hurt, squatted on the side, and vomited.

Yang Yuting has been following her grandmother since she was a child, and she is not very afraid of these smells, so she even touched the inside of the box with white gloves.

Long Xiaomo asked, "What is this?"

Yang Yuting said: "Didn't you just ask those male people where the snakes were? ”

Long Xiaomo propped herself up, stretched her neck and looked over, and saw that inside the box were some skeletons of flesh and blood that had been eaten clean. Due to the fact that the time is not very long, the minced meat on the skeleton has not completely decayed, and it can be distinguished that these are the skeletons of the human body and the tail of a snake.

Long Xiaomo said: "Sure enough, it seems that the nature of those beautiful snakes is to eat their spouses after love is completed." These are supposed to be the bones of the male human snakes that were eaten. But there is one thing I am puzzled about, why does Zhao Fugui still have these bones?"

Yang Yuting said: "I heard my grandmother say that the bones of male snakes are ground into powder, which is a medicine that instantly improves strength. The people of the Heartbreaker Hall will use this drug to produce some explosive and powerful assassins, which are said to have been tried and tested repeatedly. ”

Long Xiaomo shook his head, indicating that these people were inhumane. He pointed to the boxes on the ground and said, "These three boxes are similar in style, and it is estimated that all of them store human snake bones." What's this doing here?"

Yang Yuting said: "Don't you like to say open it and take a look? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Long Xiaomo shook his head like a rattle and said, "It's better to leave such a good opportunity to you, it's better to let professional people do professional things." ”

Yang Yuting shook her head, didn't continue to argue with Long Xiaomo, and opened the box. Long Xiaomo stretched out his head to take a look, and found that it was a red light liquid inside.

The box can hold liquids, which can be regarded as high-tech in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Long Xiaomo lifted the fire fold and took a picture around, and saw that the surrounding of the box was carefully nailed with sheepskin, so the sealing was very good.

Yang Yuting took out something like an iron hook from behind her back and stuck into the liquid and fished it back and forth. It didn't take two moments to pick it out as if it had touched something, and picked it out with a hook

When you look at it, it's something like a intestine. Yang Yuting kept dragging back with white gloves, and finally pulled out a big ball of meat from the liquid, slimy, still flowing down the liquid.

Long Xiaomo said, "What is this?"

Yang Yuting said: "I estimate that those human snakes were born from here. Yang Yuting was still talking, and the egg on the intestine suddenly trembled.

Long Xiaomo said: "I'll go, I'm still alive." ”

Yang Yuting hurriedly put the egg back into the red liquid, and then closed the lid of the box and the big lock layer by layer. Although the box was closed, you could still feel the big meat egg beating inside the box, constantly hitting the box, adding a bit of weirdness to the basement.

With this mental test, Long Xiaomo's heart seemed to be a little stronger, and he opened several other boxes one after another. Unexpectedly, the box was filled with real money, and the box was full of yellow and white things.

Long Xiaomo is a master who sees money, seeing so many real guys, he is so happy that the snot bubbles are about to come out, and holding those gold ingots in both hands is a burst of cheers.

Yang Yuting said faintly behind her back: "What's the use of so much money? ”

Long Xiaomo suddenly realized this problem, and couldn't help but put a few large pieces of gold ingots in his arms.

The two of them rummaged through all the chests underground, and found that in addition to the things that raised Gu, there were real money and silver here. Although Long Xiaomo was very happy for a while, she quickly returned to the problem of how to get out.

Long Xiaomo said: "It's really depressing, but I think about it, and if I want to find a way, I still have to start from the nail soul peg to find a way." ”

Yang Yuting said: "My brother Xiaomo, I don't know if I guessed right if I had such an idea. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "What do you think, you can say it." ”

Yang Yuting said: "After entering this house, those beautiful snakes outside have not harassed us for a long time. ”

Long Xiaomo said, "What?

Yang Yuting said: "I hate it. I was thinking. Zhao Fugui deliberately separated this house from the house above, is there any special purpose. ”

Long Xiaomo said: "You reminded me by saying this. The cave above is densely packed with caves for beautiful snakes to crawl into, but there is not a single cave here, and all around it are hard stone walls. Apparently to prevent the beauty snake from coming in. But it's all Gu raising utensils here, otherwise it's some real money, which is of no use to the beautiful snake. ”

The two of them thought for a moment, and at the same time stretched out their fingers and said, "Nail the soul sling." ”

Long Xiaomo said: "In this way, we can basically judge that the nail soul is in the cave below. Zhao Fugui built the cave so well to prevent the beautiful snake from coming in to find the nail soul peg, and then open the ban and escape. ”

Yang Yuting said worriedly: "But we have searched here, and we have not found the location of the soul sling. Do you really have to dig three feet into the ground?"

Long Xiaomo said: "It's not necessary to dig three feet into the ground, I have a way." You take this Nether Fire Fold. ”

Yang Yuting carefully took the fire fold.

Long Xiaomo continued: "After entering this cave, I found a problem. ”

Yang Yuting said: "What's the problem?"

Long Xiaomo said: "Our master has a skill called Qi Observation Technique, whether it is a creature or a ghost, I can detect it through Qi Observation Technique. ”
