Chapter 45: Poison Gas
The fifth Xiaolou unsheathed his sword and stood on tiptoe on the edge of the sarcophagus, his hand holding the sword stretched out above his head, so that the tip of the sword was aimed at the stone slab blocking the tunnel.
Trap poisons are often hidden in places where heavy treasures are hidden, and whoever opens the door will be cautious, not to mention this method of opening the door without a key.
She didn't think that this slate could be harder than a hundred-pound iron gate, so they had to be prepared to run away at any time in advance, and then let the sword fall freely through the slab to trigger the mechanism.
Yu Wenxia didn't hide away, he was still watching behind her, his legs were tense, and his hands were slightly open, as if he was afraid that she would fall off with one foot in the air, and he was afraid that she would not have time to escape.
He knew that she wasn't very good.
Yu Wenxia said: "I'll let you go, and then you let go." ”
The fifth small building said: "Okay." ”
Yu Wenxia said: "It's not sure what kind of mechanism is hidden under here, I'm afraid that what is hidden inside is poisonous gas, so you run to the door as soon as you let go, and you must run outside." ”
Of course, they can't tell what kind of mechanism it will be from the outside, if it is a dark arrow dart or something, it is easy to deal with, but there is only one way to deal with poison gas.
It's about running, the farther you run, the better, the faster, the better.
Fifth Xiaolou obviously didn't know why he was so cautious, and the few experiences in the rivers and lakes were also telling her, isn't it just a matter of holding her breath to deal with poison gas?
As a time-traveler from a higher-tech world, although she was filed by Yanyulou and lost a lot of sharpness, she always has some indelible sense of superiority in this regard, and she never believes that in this low-tech world similar to the ancient Celestial Empire, someone can make poisonous gas that seeps into people's skin.
She was dragging a long voice, and said lazily, "Got it." ”
Yu Wenxia was still admonishing: "Remember not to look back, run forward desperately." ”
The most taboo thing to do when running for your life is to look back, which will not only waste time to turn back, but more importantly, it will wear out a lot of courage.
The fifth Xiaolou seemed to be a little eager to try, and immediately said, "Then I can let go now?"
Can Aji's sword still be so sharp after leaving his hand?
She was now curious to know if it was the swordsmanship that had a bonus effect on Aji's sword, or if the sword was so sharp in the first place.
Yu Wenxia took a breath, his knees bent and his feet were slightly heavy, his whole body muscles were tense like bowstrings, and he said in a deep voice: "Let go!"
When the word "loose" came out, the fifth Xiaolou hand had already released the hilt of the sword, and the short sword was immediately taken off and stabbed to the ground.
When the word "hand" fell, the two of them jumped to the door like arrows, and as soon as they went out, they heard a "poof" sound from the secret room, like the sound of a toothpick piercing rice paper.
And then.
And then nothing happened.
The basement suddenly became silent, and the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped, and the two of them held their breath and stretched their ears, but they still did not hear the "gurgling" sound that should be made when the mechanism was triggered.
So the fifth Xiaolou squinted at Yu Wenxia and said, "This is the mechanism you are talking about?"
Yu Wenxia frowned and said, "This is unreasonable. ”
The fifth Xiaolou said: "It's that you're thinking too much, maybe it's just a way out, and there is no heavy treasure at all." ”
Yu Wenxia was still pondering, but the fifth small building had already turned around and walked towards the secret room.
Getting the sword back is what she cares about the most, and that short sword has always given her a sense of security that no one can match.
The hand has grasped the hilt of the sword.
She drank intently, and suddenly a sword qi surged out from the sword body, and several cracks immediately appeared on the stone slab, and then with a "bang" sound, the stone slab exploded and shattered into countless fragments and fell into the tunnel below.
She wasn't worried, because the mechanism hadn't been triggered, and even if there was a mechanism in it now, it would never be spared under the sword aura of Aji's sword.
The lights were already dim.
In the dimly lit chamber, the tunnels were pitch black.
The fifth small building was already squatting aside, staring at the darkness, and suddenly said, "It really looks like a way out." ”
Yuwen Xia also squatted down and said, "I just don't know where it will lead." ”
But how can there be a way out in this world that goes deeper and deeper?
He looked at the fifth small building and said, "However, I only see the way out of the past." ”
The fifth small building said: "Go down and take a look." ”
Yu Wenxia sighed and said, "I don't know if there is air in here, it's so sloppy."
His voice suddenly stopped because a gust of wind suddenly blew up from below, and the wind blew on his face, as if he was deliberately slapping him.
The wind was very cold, and the cold wind blew on Yu Wenxia's face, and he seemed to feel a trace of moisture.
Could it be that there is an underground river down there?
No matter where you are, a river is often a way out.
Yu Wenxia suddenly jumped up, bent down again, picked up the fragments of the stone slab on the side and threw them into the tunnel.
Although it is an authentic, it looks like it is just a two-foot round and bottomless hole, and the key is that there is no ladder next to it.
There was a loud noise, and the stone was soon on the ground.
The fifth Xiaolou showed joy on his face and said, "It doesn't sound that deep, do you jump first or do I jump first?"
Yuwen Xia shook his head and said, "Don't worry. ”
He turned, took a burning candle from the corner of the chamber, and threw it in as well.
The candle flame also fell to the ground quickly.
In such a short period of time when the candle flame landed, Yu Wenxia had already seen that the walls on both sides of the tunnel were made of stone slabs, and the surface was very smooth, and there were no traces of mechanisms.
Then he said, "Wait for my news, I'll go down and take a look first." ”
And he jumped.
Fifth Xiaolou opened her mouth, but she didn't speak, she just watched from above, watching him immediately engulf in darkness.
At this point, it seems useless to say anything.
As soon as Yuwen Xia landed, he immediately took out a fire fold and lit it, the lamp swayed, he felt a faint wind flowing, and then he heard that there seemed to be the sound of water?
The fifth small building poked his head out of it and shouted, "How about down there?"
Yuwen Xia said: "It's not bad, it's a treasure of feng shui." ”
The fifth small building said: "What kind of feng shui treasure?
Sure enough, there is another coffin!
Although it is a coffin, it looks more like a covered boat.
The sound of water is closer.
The two were already standing in front of the coffin.
Yu Wenxia lit the dusty oil lamps on both sides, and then stared at the coffin silently.
He really didn't know what to say now, he had never had nothing to talk about with the coffin.
The fifth Xiaolou wrapped one hand around his chest, and the other hand was supporting his forehead, his face was full of helpless expression, and it was by no means a very lucky thing to be able to see the coffin twice a day.
She suddenly said, "It's not going to be empty too, is it?"
Yu Wenxia suddenly drew a knife and stabbed into the gap, and then pried it open, this posture was very skillful, and it seemed that he had done this kind of thing before.
When the coffin was pried open, the eyes of both men lit up.
Of course, it's not empty, but it's no different from empty, there are no things that should be there, and there are several things that shouldn't be there.
It was four smooth metal balls, and a yellowed piece of paper.
There are words on the paper, and there are even pictures!
Could it be that this is the blueprint for the production of the Earthquake Thunder?
Yu Wenxia's breathing suddenly became short, and he immediately reached out to pick it up, before his fingertips touched the paper, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and the paper suddenly shattered into countless small confetti, and then in Yu Wenxia's complicated eyes, it drifted away with the wind.
This piece of paper had obviously been sitting here for a few years, and whether or not it was the blueprint for the production of Shocking Thunder, it had now been reduced to confetti.
There is no disobedience and no return.
Maybe God doesn't want this kind of thing to remain in the world, and it will only increase the killing.
Fifth Xiaolou quickly came back to her senses, she was not unfamiliar with this kind of thing, although she didn't remember her previous life at all, but this did not prevent her from being proud as a traverser.
She looked at Yu Wenxia, shook her head, and said, "You regret it?"
Yuwen Xia was stunned and said, "Some." ”
The fifth Xiaolou smiled and said, "How do you know that this is the production diagram of the earth-shaking thunder?"
Yu Wenxia didn't know, he didn't see what was written on it at all, but in this environment, there was a piece of paper with a picture in the middle of the four sky-shaking thunders, and anyone would think that this was the production map of the sky-shaking thunder.
The fifth Xiaolou said: "Perhaps, that is the last words left by the last hall master of the Thunderbolt Hall or something, and I remember that you said before that the production plan of the earth-shaking thunder had been destroyed a long time ago. ”
These are just rumors, after all, they happened decades ago, and no one can say for sure whether they are true or not.
Maybe the last hall master of Perak Hall still has a hand?
But he definitely didn't tell his descendants, otherwise Li Ji would have already put away this piece of paper and hid it, and it would not be their turn to see this piece of paper at all.
Yu Wenxia didn't seem to have come back to his senses.
The fifth Xiaolou suddenly reached out and picked up a small metal ball, and said, "This is the earth-shaking thunder?"
The small ball is perfectly round, extremely heavy in the hand, holding it in the fifth small building appears to be slightly larger, the surface is smooth and there are faint engraved words on one side, and the ball on the other side has a lead protrusion.
This thing is a lot behind the grenade in the impression of the fifth small building, at least the grenade is much lighter than it without a lead.
Yu Wenxia finally came back to her senses at this time, took the sky-shaking thunder in her hand, looked at it carefully, and said: "Yes, this is the real sky-shaking thunder, exactly the same as in the record, and the words 'Thunder God Earthquake' are engraved on the front." ”
Seeing that Yu Wenxia had no intention of letting go, the fifth Xiaolou had to take out another one, which felt equally smooth, and there were also word marks and leads, but it was much lighter than the other.
Could it be a bad one?
The fifth small building looked at it for a while, but didn't see the clue, so he could only ask: "You see this is a bit light."
She didn't go any further.
Suddenly, a light green smoke shot out of the small hole, and it was too late for the fifth Xiaolou to react, and the green smoke had already been inhaled into her nose.
She immediately felt her brain dizzy, and her eyes suddenly became blurry, and when Yuwen Xia rushed over, her person had already fallen and fell into Yu Wenxia's arms.
"Xiaolou!?"
That was the last thing she heard.
