Chapter 97 Detoxification Pill

The vibration was very slight, and the source of the vibration was located in the middle of the stone chamber. After a few seconds, the two stone slabs in the middle of the stone chamber drooped left and right, and a rectangular bluestone slowly rose from the ground, and then stopped moving eighty centimeters above the ground, and the vibration disappeared.

There is a small square box on the bluestone, which is only the size of a palm. What is stored here is undoubtedly a reward for answering the questions correctly.

Since the rewards of the previous two sects were rock sugar and kidney-tonifying pills, Wu Zhongyuan didn't think it would be a good thing for this sect, so he walked over and picked up the stone box and tried to open it.

The lid of the stone box is pressed on the stone box. After pulling it open, I found that it was a gray ball the size of a ping-pong ball. I picked it up and smelled it and there was a slight medicinal gas. Because it was stored for too long, the skin of the pill had become a bit crispy and decomposed. The fine residue that was twisted off was delicate and slippery, and it should be wax.

The method of sealing pills with wax is still in use. Compared with bottles, wax seals can better preserve drugs and ensure that the drug properties do not evaporate.

This stone box was obviously carved out specifically for storing this pill. Only a circular hole the size of a ping-pong ball was chiseled inside the stone box, and the other parts were complete stone surfaces.

"What kind of pill is this?" Wang Xinran asked with a smile.

Wu Zhongyuan did not respond. The inside of the stone box was not carved, and there were no handwriting on the bluestone where the stone box was placed. The lid of the stone box was also flat, and there were no carved texts. What was this pill used for?

Since it is a reward, it must be used, otherwise it will be of no use even if you get it.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan wanted to open the wax seal, he glanced at it and found that there seemed to be words inside the lid of the stone box. Looking closely, it was engraved with "can help all poisons."

Wang Xinran also saw the text inside the lid, "This is a little useful, and it's not a waste of time."

"It seems something is wrong." Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran raised her eyebrows at him.

"Why did he put the detoxification pill here?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Wang Xinran didn't understand why, "What are you doubting?"

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the stone box on the ground to the north, "The man who ran out was carrying the seals and golden compass, which were originally stored in that box, why did he put those things here?"

After Wu Zhongyuan said this, Wang Xinran also felt something was strange. "There was a saying on the stone platform we just pieced together, "I retreated when I saw the difficulties, and took the things in the stone box," he left behind and put the things here. He didn't want us to go back empty-handed, nor did he want us to continue walking in."

"It may also be that I just don't want you to continue walking in." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What does it mean?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "After all, this is his tomb. No one wants his tomb to be involved in by idle people. For him, I am the only one who is not idle people. You are all."

Wang Xinran vaguely understood, "What do you mean is that he left this detoxification pill here, not simply as a reward for answering the questions correctly, but a pass to those stone chambers after entering?"

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "This place should be a watershed. He doesn't want the idle people to wait for me to continue walking forward."

Lu Jiahui, who rarely spoke, said, "No matter how mysterious Qimen Dunjia is, it cannot be calculated so accurately, right? Maybe he is not trying to stop us, but to let those who accidentally enter the grave or tomb robbers stop when they see it."

"There is also a possibility," Wu Zhongyuan did not deny Lu Jiahui's statement, "but no matter what the situation is, you can't continue to walk in. There may be mechanisms for releasing toxic gases in the stone chambers behind."

"We brought gas masks." Lu Jiahui said.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's face was puzzled, Lu Jiahui explained, "We carried gas masks not to prevent poison gas, but to filter dirty air. The ancient tomb has been sealed for many years, and the air inside has long been rotten. There are still many unknown bacteria breeding. There have been precedents of archaeologists getting poisoned and infected with diseases before."

After Lu Jiahui said that, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head slowly. Even though he was wearing a gas mask, he was still worried. However, he had no reason not to let Wang Xinran and others follow him. He pondered for a moment, pointed to the stone gate in the north and said, "Let's see what's going on."

This stone gate is closed. This stone gate is like the stone gates before, and they are all open inside. Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai tried to push them before, but found that the stone gate was blocked from inside.

This time, the four of them worked together and pushed again, but if they didn't work, they still couldn't push them.

After trying several times, everyone had to give up. Lu Jiahui touched the joints of the two stone doors, took out a claw hammer and knocked on the various parts of the stone door, and then came to the conclusion, "The stone door was not blocked by them with something, but there was a stone inside the door."

Wu Zhongyuan studied archaeology and was not unfamiliar with things like top door stones, but Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai did not understand them, so Lu Jiahui explained that there are many types of top door stones, the common ones are sliding top and tilted top, among which the most common ones are the most common, and the principle is somewhat similar to the seesaw. When the funeral team left the tomb chamber, the stone on the inner side of the stone door raised up and closed the tomb door, so that the tomb door could not be pushed open from outside.

The sliding top is that there are oblique stone strips inside the tomb door. As the tomb door moves outward, the stone strips inside gradually tilt. After the tomb door is completely closed, the end of the stone strip happens to be stuck in the groove inside the stone door.

After Lu Jiahui finished speaking, Wang Xinran asked, "What is the situation here?"

"It should be a top up." Lu Jiahui said.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "It's meaningless to study this. No matter which one it is, we can't get in unless the people inside take the initiative to open it."

"If there is a top door stone, how did they open the stone door before?" Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

After that, the four of them didn't speak. The questions they thought about should be similar. It was just that it would be better to wait for the rabbit or to blast it into the room.

In the end, Wu Zhongyuan spoke first, "They may not have brought gas masks."

Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked at him without answering the words, and Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui did not say anything.

After waiting for a while, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Why did the dead man take the risk of running out?"

The three still didn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Did he find his companion trapped and ran out to help soldiers? Or did he leave his companion alone for fear of death?"

The three of them didn't respond, and Wu Zhongyuan was not ready for them to answer. He just expressed his thoughts for the three of them to refer to and analyze. "If he went out to bring reinforcements, the people there would definitely be a danger that they could not solve. If he was afraid of escaping alone, he would not be afraid of his companions being able to take revenge on him after they escaped? Since he dared to run away, in his opinion, the companions trapped inside would definitely not be able to go out alive..."

Speaking of this, Wang Xinran raised his hand and interrupted him, and looked at Zhang Shukai at the same time.

Zhang Shukai knew why Wang Xinran looked at him, "If this stone door is the same thickness as those outside, I am sure to blast accurately without destroying the main body of the stone door."

Wang Xinran nodded.

Zhang Shukai didn't procrastinate and turned around and walked out.

"How long will it take?" Wang Xinran asked.

Zhang Shukai said, "There is no * here. You need to call it from another place. It takes as soon as seven or eight hours. It takes three hours to assemble the * and it may take six hours to travel on the road. You can go up first and get some breath."

Wang Xinran nodded.

After Zhang Shukai left, Wang Xin took a few steps back, overturned the stone box, sat on it and lit a cigarette, "Which one of the fourth stone chamber is the eight door?"

Wu Zhongyuan was distracted and did not hear Wang Xinran's words. Lu Jiahui studied archaeology, and those who studied archaeology understood history. Yin and Yang and Five Elements were part of ancient history. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan did not respond, he answered on his behalf, "The fourth gate is the wound gate, and the five elements belong to wood, which is the evil gate."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan absent-minded, Wang Xinran glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "What are you worried about if your senior brother is not inside?"

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was blaming him for caring about Zhao Ying's life and death, and retorted, "Even if she is guilty, she will not be guilty of death, right?"

"You know who she is. You must be without a stance in life." Wang Xinran said.

"Why do I have no position? Will I be with you without a position?" Wu Zhongyuan was also anxious, "If you have a position, do you have to engage in class struggle? I don't hate her so much that she gritted her teeth, but she has no position? Let me tell you the truth, I don't hate her at all."

Wang Xinran glared at Wu Zhongyuan fiercely, stood up angrily, threw away the cigarette that had just been lit, turned around and walked out, "Go out to rest for a few days."

"Who the hell are you scaring?" Wu Zhongyuan cursed.

Wang Xinran turned around angrily, "What did you say?"

"I said who the hell are you scaring?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

Seeing Wang Xinran angrily rushing towards Wu Zhongyuan, Lu Jiahui hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him. Although Wang Xinran was angry, she could not really beat Wu Zhongyuan, leaving behind a sentence of "Ghostly Being Being" and turned around and walked out.

After hesitation, Lu Jiahui chose to stay and appease Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Zhongyuan was still angry and complained to Lu Jiahui, "Why are all people in your system so virtuous? Because of different positions, the other party should die if he is unforgivable? Can you be more objective and not so fanatic?"

"You misunderstood. We are not what you think," Lu Jiahui waved her hands repeatedly, "Didn't you notice it yet? No. 9 is angry that you are not accused of your unstable position."

"Hmm?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

"She seems..." Lu Jiahui wanted to speak, "She seems a little... a little jealous."

Wu Zhongyuan was like a bulging balloon at this time. Lu Jiahui's words instantly made him feel angry. Lu Jiahui is a man from Wang Xinran and will not speak nonsense. Why did he not find out what Lu Jiahui discovered?

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's mood stabilized, Lu Jiahui turned around and walked south, "I'll calm down first, I'll persuade her."

Lu Jiahui stopped when she walked to the door because Zhang Shukai and Wang Xinran were back together.

The two of them were holding the diving gas cylinders placed outside the stone room.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran from the corner of his eyes. Wang Xinran knew that Wu Zhongyuan was looking at her but ignored him.

"What do you do with it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked Zhang Shukai.
