Sure enough, I was standing on a huge black sandstone, and around this black sandstone, which was about seven or eight meters in diameter, was actually covered with fiery red magma! Looking at it, it looked like an extremely huge lake of fire!
It seems that I am trapped on this black sandstone. What is going on!? Before I fainted, I was clearly in my room. How did I end up in such a ghost place now!?
I thought for a moment, and suddenly my mind flashed: Wait! Am I already dead, and this place is the legendary underworld and purgatory!?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. I looked around again. Not to mention, this ghost place was somewhat similar to the legendary underworld purgatory.
According to the records in the book, in the purgatory of the underworld, there is a lake of fire burning with the fire of purgatory, and the endless magma in front of you is just a huge lake of fire!
Am I really dead!?
In an instant, a complex emotion surged into my heart. I didn’t expect that I would “die” like this, and that I would go to hell after my “death”!
I collapsed on the ground, feeling a little confused for a moment. What should I do now? Am I waiting for the devil from hell to catch me and throw me into the hot magma? Or, should I?
I jumped into the lake of fire on my own initiative?
I was muttering in my heart when suddenly there was a loud "crash" sound behind me. I quickly turned around and saw a huge "spray" on the lava lake about ten meters away from me.
I couldn't help but be surprised, is there something in the magma lake? But, what thing can actually live in magma with a temperature of several thousand degrees! I quickly stood up and stared at the surface of the magma lake.
However, nothing emerged from the lake. After a while, the lake surface became calm again.
I was wondering in my heart when I suddenly discovered that a huge whirlpool had appeared just where the waves had just started on the lake. The diameter of the whirlpool was more than ten feet, and it was still expanding. The speed of the magma flowing in the whirlpool also became
Faster and faster. After a while, the entire magma lake even seemed to be boiling.
The situation in front of me made me feel timid. What will happen next? Will the water level of the magma lake rise and eventually engulf the boulder I am now on? Or, the entire boulder I am now on will simply be destroyed.
All were melted by the hot magma?
Thinking that my body might be about to be swallowed up by the fiery magma, I seemed to see my flesh and blood being quickly burned to ashes by the high temperature.
The more I thought about it, the more desperate I became, and my body began to tremble involuntarily.
At this moment, there was suddenly another loud "crash" sound, and a huge wave was stirred up on the lake surface again. Then, a huge pillar of fire suddenly shot out of the whirlpool and rushed into the air.
I subconsciously raised my eyes and was shocked speechless. What emerged from the lava lake was a red fire dragon!
The fire dragon looks very similar to what I saw in the book. It is suspended in mid-air, staring at me with a pair of huge blood-red eyes, its big mouth full of sharp teeth is slightly open, and there is hot molten liquid on its body from time to time.
The drops fell into the lava lake, and it looked as if it would swallow me up at any moment.
I only felt a cold air rushing straight to my forehead, my whole body froze, and my mind went completely blank for an instant.
The fire dragon opened its mouth, raised its head and let out an ear-splitting roar. Then, its huge head slowly moved towards me.
My heart couldn't stop beating wildly. It seemed that I was going to die today. Facing such a ferocious and terrifying dragon, I had almost no chance of survival. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Am I not already dead?
Is it over? Do I have to die again? Or will my soul be scattered and I will never be reincarnated?
The dragon's eyes conveyed an extremely fierce aura, which made me dare not look directly. I simply closed my eyes and quietly waited for what was going to happen next, whether it was dying again or losing my soul.
They all had no choice but to accept their fate.
However, after a long time, the dragon did not attack me. On the contrary, I felt that the surrounding environment was getting brighter and brighter.
What is going on!?
Out of curiosity, I secretly opened my eyes a crack, and what came into my eyes was a bright incandescent lamp and a white ceiling!
I couldn't help but feel startled, and quickly opened my eyes. There was still the shadow of the dragon! The lava lake had also disappeared, and now I was lying on the bed in my room.
I jumped up and looked myself up and down, and found that I was unscathed. I looked at my hand again and saw that I was still holding the ruby tightly. Moreover, the ruby was quite intact and there were no signs of cracking.
.
I quickly put the ruby under the light and took a closer look, but found that the almost black-red mass was no longer visible.
What on earth is going on? Was it just my hallucination? Or was it just a dream?
I was wondering in my heart when Huang Yixian suddenly shouted "Ah!" from outside the door. My heart tightened, thinking that something had happened to him, so I put the ruby in my hand on the bed and grabbed the ruby placed aside.
Yuchangjian quickly opened the door and rushed into the living room.
At first glance, Huang Yixian was already awake. He was looking for something around the sofa with his head looking anxious.
Uncle Zhai and Jianjian also ran out of their respective rooms. Jianjian asked: "What's wrong, dad!?"
Huang Yixian raised his head, looked at us, and said solemnly: "Then... that stone box is missing..."
When I heard what happened, I quickly said, "I took the stone box."
"It turns out you kid took it away! I was shocked!" Huang Yixian breathed a sigh of relief.
I explained: "I just walked into the living room and saw you dozing off, so I took the stone box into the room."
Huang Yixian glared at me: "Why are you taking it to the room if you have nothing to do! If you don't take it out quickly, it will be dawn soon. I have to find a way to open the stone box as soon as possible!"
"No need, Uncle Master, I...I have already opened that stone box."
"What!? You opened the stone box!?" Huang Yixian's eyes widened with an incredible look on his face, and he quickly asked: "How did you open it!?"
"I accidentally cut the palm of my hand, and the blood dripped on the stone box, and it opened by itself." I answered truthfully.
"Can your blood open this stone box!?" Huang Yixian was even more surprised.
Uncle Zhai said from the side: "Now that the stone box has been opened, what exactly is sealed inside?"
"A ruby!"
"Ruby!? What ruby?"
"Uh...it's just a ruby. Just wait, I'll take it out and show it to you!" As I said that, I turned around and entered the room, picking up the ruby on the bed and the stone box that had been opened.
I handed the ruby and the stone box to Huang Yixian, and the three of them immediately gathered around and studied the ruby with great interest.
Because he always believed that what was sealed in the stone box was an evil object, Huang Yixian specially brought a compass and placed it next to the ruby, but the pointer on the compass did not react at all.
Huang Yixian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and murmured: "It's really strange, this thing doesn't emit any evil aura. It shouldn't be considered an evil thing, but why is the evil aura in the Lin family's old house so strong?"
Uncle Zhai took the ruby from Huang Yixian's hand and looked at it for a long time, but could not see any clues. He turned to me and asked: "When you opened the box, was there just such a ruby inside?"
I hesitated for a moment. I originally wanted to tell them that the ruby once split in half and a black gas was breathed into my body, but then I thought about it. Now the ruby is obviously fine, and my body is not weird at all.
Maybe it was just my illusion, so I nodded and said, "It's just a ruby."
"So, Mr. Lin set up such a big scheme just to hide such a ruby?"
Jianjian asked curiously: "Such a big ruby should be worth a lot of money, right?"
Huang Yixian nodded and said: "This ruby is very transparent, and the color is quite uniform, and there is not a trace of impurities in it. It should be worth a lot of money. If it is not done well, it is a priceless good thing!" Huang Yixian said about jewelry.
I have always been interested in jade. Although I am not an expert in this area, I can still tell some tips.
After listening to Huang Yixian's words, Jianjian immediately said with certainty: "If this ruby is really valuable, then needless to say, the massacre of the Lin family sixty years ago must be related to this thing!"
"How do you know?" Huang Yixian asked.
"Needless to say! Someone must have known that Mr. Lin hid such a priceless treasure at home, so they came to the door and killed people to seize the treasure. Unfortunately, they did not expect that Mr. Lin would hide this thing on the ceiling.
All your efforts were wasted."
Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, then turned to me and asked: "Shi Yu, what do you think?"
I calmed myself down and replied: "I agree with what you said. People in the cult seem to have a special preference for various rare treasures. First, the soul sarcophagus in Shao Yuanjie's tomb, and then the Sui Hou Pearl in Chuang Wang's treasure.
Each time they seem to be looking for a unique and rare treasure. It is not surprising that this ruby has become their coveted target."
Huang Yixian nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes sense, but I'm afraid things are not that simple. If it is really just such a ruby, what about the extremely heavy Yin Qi in the Lin family's old house?
explain?"
"Could it be that there are other evil things hidden in the Lin family's old house?" Jianjian said.
