Origin Chapter 97: Jiedu Dan


The vibration was very slight. The epicenter was located in the middle of the stone room. After a few seconds, the two stone slabs in the middle of the stone room sagged left and right, and a rectangular bluestone slowly rose from the ground. After 80 cm above the ground, it stopped and shook. also disappeared.

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

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

The lid of the stone box is fastened on the stone box. After unplugging it, I found that there was a gray ball the size of a ping-pong ball. I picked it up and smelled it. The skin has been somewhat crispy and the **** has fallen off. After twisting the fine **** that fell off, it is delicate and slippery, and it should be wax.

The practice of sealing pills with wax is still in use. Compared with bottled, wax sealing can better preserve the medicine and ensure that the medicinal properties do not evaporate.

This stone box was obviously carved out to store this pill. Only a round hole the size of a ping-pong ball was carved out of the entire stone box, while the rest of the stone was a complete stone surface.

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

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer. The inside of the stone box was not engraved with words, and there was no writing on the bluestone on which the stone box was placed. The lid of the stone box was also flat with no engraved words. What is the purpose of this pill?

Since it is a reward, it must explain its purpose, otherwise it will be useless even if it is obtained.

Just when Wu Zhongyuan was about to pinch open the wax seal, he glanced at the stone box's lid and found that there were words on the inside. He looked closely, and the inscription was 'Can cure hundreds of poisons. ’

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

"It doesn't seem quite right." Wu Zhongyuan frowned and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran raised an eyebrow at him.

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

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

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the stone box on the ground to the north, "The seal and golden compass that the man who ran out carried with him should have been stored in that box. Why did he put those things here?"

Wu Zhongyuan said this, and Wang Xinran also felt that something was wrong, "There is a sentence on the stone platform we just pieced together, 'Retreat in spite of difficulties, take the contents of the stone letter and go,' he left such words, and then Putting things here, I don't want us to come back empty-handed, and don't want us to keep going."

"Maybe it's just that you don't want to let you go further," Wu Zhongyuan said.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "This is his mausoleum after all. No one wants his tomb to be set foot in by other people. For him, I'm the only one who is not a person. You are all."

Wang Xinran vaguely understood, "You mean that he left this antidote here, not just as a reward for your correct answer, but as a pass to those stone chambers after entering?"

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, "this should be a watershed, he doesn't want to wait for other people to accompany me to move on."

Lv Jiahui, who rarely speaks, said, "No matter how mysterious Qimen Dunjia is, it can't be calculated so accurately, right? Maybe he didn't want to stop us, but to let those who stray into the grave or tomb robbers. Take it when you see it."

"There is also this possibility," Wu Zhongyuan did not deny Lv Jiahui's statement, "but no matter what the situation is, you can't continue to go inside, and there may be organs that release toxic gases in the stone chambers that follow. ."

"We brought gas masks." Lv Jiahui said.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's puzzled face, Lv Jiahui explained, "We wear gas masks not to prevent poisonous gas, but to filter the dirty air. The ancient tomb has been sealed for many years, and the air inside is already decomposed, and there are many unknown bacteria breeding. There have been precedents of archaeologists being poisoned and infected before.”

After Lv Jiahui finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head slowly. Even with a gas mask, he was still worried, but at the moment he had no reason not to let Wang Xinran and others follow him. What's going on?"

This stone gate is closed. Like the previous stone gates, this stone gate opens inward. Before Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai tried to push it, they found that the stone gate was blocked from the inside.

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

After trying several times, everyone could only give up. Lv Jiahui stroked the joints of the two stone gates, then took out the claw hammer and slammed the stone gates everywhere, and then came to the conclusion, "The stone gates are not being held back by them with something. , but there was originally a top door stone inside."

Wu Zhongyuan studied archaeology and was not unfamiliar with the top door stone, but Wang Xinran and Zhang Shukai didn't understand it, so Lv Jiahui explained that there are many styles of top door stones, the common ones are sliding roof and upturned roof. Among them, the tilted roof is the most common. The principle is somewhat similar to the seesaw. When the funeral team leaves the tomb, the stone gate is pulled up. After the stone gate is closed, the top stone on the inner side of the stone gate is lifted up, closing the tomb door, so that the tomb door cannot be pushed from the outside. open.

As for the sliding roof, there are diagonal stone bars inside the tomb door. As the tomb door moves outwards, the stone bars inside gradually slope. slot.

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

"It should be the top." Lv Jiahui said.

Wu Zhongyuan said, "It's pointless to study this. No matter what kind of thing it is, we won't be able to 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.

The four of them didn't speak for a period of time, and the four of them thought about the same question, whether it was better to wait and see, or it would be better to blast into the room.

In the end, Wu Zhongyuan spoke first, "They may not be wearing gas masks."

Wang Xinran tilted his head and glanced at him, but did not answer, nor did Zhang Shukai and Lv Jiahui say a word.

After waiting for a while, Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Why did the dead person take the risk to run out?"

The three still did not answer.

Wu Zhongyuan said again, "Did he find that his companion was trapped and ran out to rescue soldiers? Or was he greedy for life and fear of death and left his companion to escape alone?"

The three of them didn't answer, and Wu Zhongyuan didn't prepare them to answer. He just expressed his thoughts for the three of them to analyze and analyze, "If he went out to rescue soldiers, the people inside must have encountered something that he couldn't solve. Dangerous. If he is greedy for life and afraid of death and escapes alone, he is not afraid of revenge on his companions after he escapes? Since he dares to run, it is in his opinion that his companions trapped inside will definitely not be able to escape alive..."

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

Zhang Shukai knew why Wang Xinran was looking at him, "If this stone gate is the same thickness as the stone gates outside, I can be sure to blast it accurately without destroying the main body of the stone gate."

Wang Xinran nodded.

Zhang Shukai didn't hesitate, turned around and walked out.

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

Zhang Shukai said, "There is no security here, it needs to be called from elsewhere, the fastest time is seven or eight hours, the assembly process takes three hours, and the round trip may take six hours. You can go up and get some air first."

Wang Xinran nodded.

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

Wu Zhongyuan was distracted. He didn't hear Wang Xinran's words. Lv Jiahui studied archaeology. Anyone who studied archaeology knew history. Yin-yang and the five elements were part of ancient history. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, he answered on his behalf, "The fourth door It is the door of injury, the five elements belong to wood, and it is the door of evil."

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's absent-mindedness, Wang Xinran gave him a dissatisfied look, "Your senior brother is not there, what are you worried about?"

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 won't die, right?"

"You know who she is, and you can't be without a position." Wang Xinran said.

"Why don't I have a position? Will I stay with you if I don't have a position?" Wu Zhongyuan was also anxious, "Do you have to engage in class struggle if you have a position? Tell the truth, I don't hate her at all."

Wang Xinran gave Wu Zhongyuan a stern look, got up angrily, threw away the cigarette he just lit, turned around and walked out, "Go out and rest for a few days."

"Who the **** are you scaring?" Wu Zhongyuan scolded.

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

"Who the **** did I say you scare?" Wu Zhongyuan shouted.

Seeing Wang Xinran rushing towards Wu Zhongyuan, Lv Jiahui hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. Although Wang Xinran was angry, she couldn't really beat Wu Zhongyuan.

After hesitating, Lv Jiahui chose to stay behind to appease Wu Zhongyuan, but Wu Zhongyuan was still angry and complained at Lv Jiahui, "How come everyone in your system is so virtuous? Can you be more objective and not so fanatical.”

"You misunderstood, we are not what you think we are at all," Lv Jiahui waved her hands again and again, "Have you not found out, No. 9 is angry because you are not firm."

"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

"She seems..." Lv Jiahui hesitated, "She seems a little... a little jealous."

Wu Zhongyuan is like a bulging balloon at this time. Lv Jiahui's words will instantly make him discouraged. Lv Jiahui is a person on Wang Xinran's side, so he won't open his mouth. Why did he not find out what Lv Jiahui had discovered?

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

Lv Jiahui stopped at the door because Zhang Shukai and Wang Xinran came back together.

In their hands are the diving tanks that were placed outside the rock.

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

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

"The respirator they use is an imported CCR. The gas cylinder contains oxygen instead of compressed air. You can try to use it to blow up the stone gate..."
