Zhang Shukai's voice was very low, and it was obvious that he was in a low mood, but he did not show any tension, panic and at a loss.

Hearing Zhang Shukai's words, Wang Xinran's expression changed drastically and she walked quickly.

Wu Zhongyuan put the jade box into his backpack and followed him anxiously.

When he went out, Wang Xinran was squatting beside Zhang Shukai and looking at his eyes. Lu Jiahui sat on Zhang Shukai's left, dazed in a daze.

There may be relevant information on recording and describing corpse poison within the 18th branch. The three of them should have read the relevant information and know what symptoms will be if they are infected with corpse poison. After checking Zhang Shukai's eyes, Wang Xinran stood up blankly, took out a cigarette and lit one.

"Give me one." Zhang Shukai said.

Wang Xinran pulled out a cigarette and handed it over, pressed the lighter to help him light it.

Although I have never seen Zhang Shukai smoke before, this does not mean that he can't smoke. After lit the cigarette, Zhang Shukai took a deep breath, "I'm honored to be able to work with you."

"Are we sacrificed our lives for the country?" Lu Jiahui said to herself.

"For sure, we can all be called martyrs." Wang Xinran smiled very reluctantly.

"We don't have much time," said Zhang Shukai. "Nine, please record my last words."

Wang Xinran took out her phone and turned on the recording function, "Okay."

Zhang Shukai cleared his throat and laughed a few times. It was obvious that he wanted to show open-mindedness and fearlessness, but he smiled very unsuccessfully, and he couldn't control his wry smile.

After a bitter smile, Zhang Shukai began to speak. His parents seemed to have passed away. The last words were left to his sister who was still studying. He first said that he was about to die soon, and then told the other party about his bank card password and the preferential treatment he would enjoy in the future. Under his efforts, his emotions and tone were still stable.

Zhang Shukai is relatively dull. Even if he or she tells his last words, it is like a routine, very brief and has no affectionate expression.

While Zhang Shukai was dictating his last words, Lu Jiahui was also doing the same thing, but she walked to the corner to record it herself. Her voice was very low and she couldn't hear what she said. She didn't know who the last words were left for, but she was sad and excited and kept crying.

After Zhang Shukai finished speaking, he stood up and said to Wang Xinran, "Do what you should do, we will go out first."

Wang Xinran clenched her teeth and did not respond. She knew why Zhang Shukai did this. Zhang Shukai wanted to leave the underwater tomb while she was still able to walk at this time, so as not to go into the water to search for the body after her sacrifice.

"Let's go." Zhang Shukai said to Lu Jiahui.

Hearing Zhang Shukai's words, Lu Jiahui sobbed and walked over from the corner, handing the recording device in her hand to Wang Xinran.

"My eyesight is seriously damaged, please help me." Zhang Shukai said to Lu Jiahui.

Lu Jiahui did not support Zhang Shukai, but kept looking at Wu Zhongyuan, with a sad expression and complicated look.

After more than ten seconds of gaze, Lu Jiahui suddenly pointed her gun at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect Lu Jiahui to do this, and instinctively took a step back in surprise.

Almost as Lu Jiahui raised her gun, Wang Xinran also drew her pistol and pointed it at her.

Lu Jiahui was excited and didn't say anything. Wang Xinran's expression was solemn and didn't say anything. Zhang Shukai's eyes were already white. He guessed that something had happened, but he didn't know what had happened, and he didn't say anything.

Wang Xinran took out the cigarette box with his left hand and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan, "turned his back and took three, two of which pinched off the filter."

It was not until this moment that Wu Zhongyuan understood why Lu Jiahui had a gun at him. In the stone chamber in front, he had obtained a pill that could detoxify hundreds of poisons, but there was no punishment mechanism in the stone chamber since then. There was no doubt that Zuo Ci was worried that he would be bitten by a monkey, so he left him a glimmer of life.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head and did not accept the cigarette box handed over by Wang Xinran. He was bitten by a mercenary who had fallen to the ground. The situation was chaotic at the time, and Wang Xinran and others did not notice this.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Wang Xinran raised his eyebrows and urged him, "Hold it!"

Wu Zhongyuan still didn't move. Lu Jiahui lost control of her emotions, lowered her gun and cried out loud, "I'm sorry, I'm so scared."

"We have carved all the wartime regulations. If you encounter danger on the battlefield, you will give priority to ensuring the safety of the commander," Zhang Shukai reached out to explore Lu Jiahui. "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you on the road to the underworld."

Lu Jiahui reached out and grabbed Zhang Shukai, nodded cryingly, "Thank you."

Zhang Shukai took the lead, and Lu Jiahui led him and walked beside him. The two of them did not carry backpacks or carry respirators.

"Take out the detoxification pill." Wang Xinran roared at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

"You don't have the power to decide the life and death of others." Wang Xinran came over to snatch the backpack.

Wu Zhongyuan pressed against the stone wall and reached out to entangle her, preventing her from getting her backpack.

"They participated in this mission because of me," Wang Xinran felt guilty and blamed himself, "I can't leave the opportunity to live for myself."

"Everyone has to face a choice, right?" Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away.

"You can't be so selfish," Wang Xinran choked and grabbed it, "Get lots away, let God decide, that's the fairest."

"God cannot decide anything." Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away again.

"Bang." A gunshot came from the stone chamber outside.

The two looked back in shock, and saw that Lu Jiahui had fallen down. Zhang Shukai pointed his gun at his right temple without any hesitation, "Bang."

After two gunshots, the two stopped fighting. This was not their original plan. The reason why they committed suicide early was that they didn't want to make Wu Zhongyuan and Wang Xinran embarrassed.

Wang Xinran was very sad, leaning against the stone wall, choking silently.

Wu Zhongyuan took off his backpack, found the pill, crushed the wax seal, and handed it to Wang Xinran.

Seeing the life-saving pill, Wang Xinran became more and more sad, "You are too selfish, and I am too selfish."

"We are not selfish, we just did what we should do." Wu Zhongyuan stuffed the detoxification pill into Wang Xinran's mouth, unscrewed the water bottle and fed her to take it.

After doing these, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the square jade box. The jade box also has a lid buckle structure, which is quite laborious to open. After opening it, it was found that there were glue-like residues at the connection between the jade box and the jade cover. The function of these glue-like residues should be sealed and moisture-proof. If they were not destroyed, it means that although the mercenaries took the jade box, they did not open it.

The jade box contains nine rolls of sheepskin, placed side by side, and its shape is somewhat like a cigar, about fifteen centimeters in length, and the diameter is only the thickness of a thumb.

Take out the roll on the right edge and it feels a bit heavy when you buy it, and it should be covered with other things.

When you open the sheepskin, the things inside reveal their true appearance. They are a roll of things similar to bamboo slips, but they are smaller and thinner than bamboo slips. Their material is not wood, but a light and thin metal with a golden color.

The golden slices are connected to each other with golden wires. A roll of thumb is thirty centimeters long. Each golden slicing has ancient characters, and the number of characters varies.

"What is it?" Wang Xinran asked.

"Tianzang Seal Book." Wu Zhongyuan said that in order to communicate with others as soon as possible after returning, he had studied ancient characters seriously.

"The Tianzhang Book? Is it the predecessor of Qimen Dunjia?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, rolled up the golden bamboo slips again, wrapped them in a sheepskin and put them in the jade box.

After putting the jade box into the backpack, Wu Zhongyuan did not carry the backpack, but handed the backpack to Wang Xinran, "Please help me get it."

Wang Xinran didn't understand why, so he thought he felt that his backpack was too heavy and was too lazy to carry it all the time, so he reached out to take it over.

Wu Zhongyuan turned around and walked towards the eighth stone chamber. As the main tomb chamber sinks, the gap between the main tomb chamber and the stone chamber becomes larger and larger, and more and more lake water surges in from the gap.

Wu Zhongyuan walked to the stone platform and placed the pistol that Zhang Shukai had given him on the side of the stone platform. Then he supported the stone platform with both hands and looked at the copper plate on the stone platform.

At this time, the corpse poison had begun to attack, and the graphics on the copper plate were a little ghosted and blurred in his eyes.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that he had not had much time, so he did not dare to delay. He reached out and turned the disc and pointed the Yang in Liangyi at the "king". Zuo Ci's last question tests the way to be a king. As a king, he must be upright and open and open.

He chose the Qinglong for the Four Symbols. The Qinglong is Shaoyang and spring. As a king, he must have an enterprising spirit and lead his subjects to develop in a better way, but he cannot be eager for quick success and quick progress, and needs to proceed step by step, so Laoyang Zhuque is excluded.

He chose the earth for the Five Elements. As a king, he must be kind and virtuous.

He chose Ze in the Bagua. The king is the leader of the world. He is condescending. Without the heart of the people and the virtue of protecting and nourishing, how can he be the king and the king?

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan turning the copper plate anxiously, Wang Xinran was afraid that he would make a mistake in the chaos and said, "Don't worry, we still have time."

Wu Zhongyuan had been gritting his teeth and holding on, fearing that his emotions would be out of control. He heard Wang Xinran's words and felt more sad and desperate. He sighed and shook his head with a bitter smile.

When it was the Nine Palaces, Wu Zhongyuan hesitated. The king was the noble of the Nine Five. There were nine and five in the Nine Palaces, nine of the Li Palace was the supreme, and five of the Central Palace was eternal. You cannot take into account both, so you can only choose one.

At this time, the discomfort caused by the corpse poison attack became more and more obvious. In addition to unclear vision, it also began to have a severe fever, and the internal organs seemed to be burned.

After a brief pondering, Wu Zhongyuan chose the Central Palace. Five not only represents eternity, but also represents peace and justice. A king cannot be impatient and resentful and revengeful. He needs to be calm and peaceful, and take into account the overall situation.

In the Ten Heavenly Stems, he chose himself as the land of the countryside and as the king, who is both a noble leader and a cornerstone for supporting the people.

Once the corpse poison occurs, the symptoms become more and more serious. At this time, Wu Zhongyuan was already sweating profusely and his whole body was trembling involuntarily.

Wang Xinran found that something was wrong with Wu Zhongyuan and looked at him with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Wu Zhongyuan was afraid that Wang Xinran would notice his eyes were abnormal, so he hurriedly tilted his head to the side, "It's okay, it's a little hot, bring me some water."

While the king was happily taking the water, Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand again and turned the twelve earthly branches. This time he chose the horse. The reason why he chose the horse but did not choose the dragon was because the horse was a dragon of the world, and it was more peaceful and easy than the dragon. In his opinion, the king could not be arrogant and kind and friendly to the people.

Wang Xinran took out the mineral water, unscrewed it and handed it to Wu Zhongyuan. After a glance, he found that Wu Zhongyuan's eyes were covered with white cataracts, and he took a breath of cold air in an instant, "Your eyes?!"

Wu Zhongyuan could no longer see the many hexagrams on the outermost ring. When he heard Wang Xinran's exclamation, he felt relieved and stepped back a few steps and stood against the wall, gasping for breath.

"What's going on?" Wang Xinran asked nervously.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer the conversation.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan not answering, Wang Xinran urgently examined his arms and legs. After seeing the bite on his right leg, his face changed drastically and he was stunned and speechless.

The sharp rise in body temperature affected Wu Zhongyuan's mind. At this time, he was already a little confused. He was breathing heavily and he said to himself, "We cannot punish the people casually. The reason why they are the people is because they have insufficient knowledge and low structure. They cannot use the standards of wise people to ask them to be tolerant, forgive their ignorance and stupidity, and cannot punish them casually..."

Wang Xinran was already confused at this time, nervous and anxious but helpless, "What are you talking about?"

"Aim the hexagrams of water and metal combination at the king." Wu Zhongyuan couldn't stand up and sat on the ground.

There was water on the ground. Seeing him collapse, Wang Xinran hurriedly went to help him.

"Go quickly." Wu Zhongyuan pushed Wang Xinran away.

"What do you care about those things?" Wang Xinran said in a crying voice.
