Seeing that Ouyang Yi was determined to go over and see what was going on, Wen Qingshan couldn't hold on to his objection anymore and had to say: "Since we want to go over, let's go over and have a look. But everyone had better be careful, no matter whether the stone is
The evil stone we are looking for, we all need to get out of here as soon as possible."
Ouyang Yi nodded: "Okay! Regardless of whether it is an evil stone or not, we will leave immediately after checking it!"
Under the leadership of Ouyang Yi, the group headed straight for the reflective stone. Worried that the mandrills hiding in the caves above their heads might come back at any time, everyone speeded up their pace in order to rush for time. After a while,
Then we came to the reflective stone.
Standing next to the lake, I found that the temperature seemed to be lower, and I found that the strange combination of fragrance and smell in the air seemed to have become a little stronger, but I didn't think much about it and quickly looked down.
Take a look at the stone that reflects light.
Only when I got closer could I see clearly that it was a piece of stone that was about a foot tall, yellow-brown, and oval in shape. The surface of the stone was very smooth, which was why it could reflect light.
Seeing this stone, Ouyang Yi's face immediately showed a look of disappointment. He sighed and didn't say much. But even if he didn't say it, he knew what was going on. This stone was not what we were looking for.
Evil stone.
Ouyang Yi waved his hand and said: "It seems that we can't find this evil stone today, let's go!"
As soon as he turned around, Wen Qingshan said: "Wait a minute!"
Ouyang Yi immediately turned around: "What's wrong with Mr. Wen?"
"I think this stone is a bit weird." Wen Qingshan stared at the stone, tilted his head and looked at it for a while. Suddenly he seemed to have discovered something, and he immediately squatted down and hugged the stone.
stand up.
The stone was almost over a foot high and not small in size. If it were really made of stone, it would probably weigh hundreds of kilograms. But what surprised me was that Wen Qingshan seemed very relaxed when he picked it up. Not only did it
His face remained calm and he was out of breath, and he even weighed it with his hands after picking it up.
Even though Wen Qingshan had practiced, he still couldn't pick up a stone weighing more than 100 kilograms so easily. I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled and asked: "Boss Wen, when did you become a strongman!?"
Wen Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "This is not just a stone!"
"Isn't it a stone?" I was slightly startled, staring at the "stone" in Wen Qingshan's hand and said, "Looking from left to right, this thing looks just like a stone, so what is it if it's not a stone?"
Wen Qingshan handed over the "stone" without saying a word and said, "You will know after you try it."
I felt that even if this thing was not a stone, it must have some weight. I took a deep breath, got ready, and took the stone from Wen Qingshan's hand. What I didn't expect was that this thing was really not that light. Don't look at it.
Such a large piece weighs only a few kilograms at most, even lighter than wood of the same volume.
I couldn't help being surprised: "Holy crap! Why is it so light? What on earth is it?"
Wen Qingshan asked back: "Didn't you notice that this thing exudes a strange smell that combines fragrance and smell?"
After hearing what he said, I quickly put my nose close to the stone and smelled it. I immediately smelled a very strong fragrance, and this fragrance was vaguely mixed with a faint odor.
I suddenly understood that the strange combination of fragrance and smell we smelled was really emanating from this "stone". No wonder the smell became stronger the closer we got.
I was a little surprised and said: "It turns out that this monster is emitted by this thing. What on earth is this?"
Wen Qingshan said: "This should also be the secretion of some kind of animal, just like the dragon's incense. Let's take this thing back and study it carefully!" After he finished speaking, he stuffed the thing into his backpack.
The group was about to leave when suddenly there was a sound of water, and a big wave rose again on the lake.
Wen Qingshan hurriedly shouted: "Get out of here quickly!"
Everyone didn't care so much and hurriedly ran towards the arched corridor until they reached the entrance of the corridor. I dared to turn around and take a look. However, the lake surface had returned to calm and nothing emerged from the lake.
Although I really wanted to find out what was hidden under the cold lake water, this place was not a long-term stay after all, so we followed the original path and returned to the tomb.
Perhaps because he was worried about the monster in the strange cave coming out, Ouyang Yi called everyone again and put the stone lid back together, sealing the secret passage leading there.
Unknowingly, we have been working here for six or seven hours. Although we failed to find the evil stone, the discovery of the strange cave still made Ouyang Yi and others excited. Ouyang Yi immediately said that he would organize manpower as soon as possible.
Conduct an all-round exploration of the cave. On the one hand, it is necessary to find out whether the evil stone is hidden in the cave. On the other hand, the underground lake is obviously not a pool of stagnant water, so it is necessary to find out where the lake water comes from.
, and where does it flow to?
However, in my opinion, Ouyang Yi's so-called all-round detection is just a hot-headed talk. In fact, it is almost an impossible task. After all, the danger level in that cave is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and even
Even Wen Qingshan, who has rich experience in exploration, dare not continue to explore in depth. If he wants to conduct a comprehensive exploration inside, I am afraid that he will have to send an army.
Of course, thinking about it, I didn't object to Ouyang Yi's words. At this moment, I only had one thought, which was to get out of this hellish place quickly, because the oxygen bottles we brought seemed like they couldn't last too long.
We walked back along the original path. Unexpectedly, as soon as we walked out of this tomb and entered the previous tomb, we discovered that there was a person standing in the center of this tomb!
This man was wearing an official uniform from the Qing Dynasty, his face was pale, the brim of his hat was pulled down slightly, and his eyes could not be seen. I stared at him for a while, and suddenly I recognized who the man in front of me was. He was the one we least wanted to meet.
That guy, Hanbao——Chen Zhonghao!
I immediately shouted: "Everyone, be careful! It's Chen Zhonghao!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately got into trouble and got into a stance. Chen Biao pointed the mercury gun at Chen Zhonghao, and he might pull the trigger at any time.
At this time, Chen Zhonghao spoke: "You guys broke into this place. What do you want?"
Ouyang Yi didn't seem to expect that Chen Zhonghao could still speak. He was slightly startled, looked at Wen Qingshan and me, and asked in a low voice: "How can this guy talk? Are you sure it is really a zombie?"
Wen Qingshan immediately corrected him: "No! It's not just a zombie, but a drought demon that is almost a demon!"
After saying that, he took a step forward, cupped his hands towards Chen Zhonghao, and said: "Mr. Chen, this is the second time we have met. I won't beat around the bush. We are here with no intention of offending, just for the sake of Emperor Qianlong."
The evil stone left behind!"
After hearing this, Chen Zhonghao hummed: "Huh! Sure enough, I came here for that piece of underworld stone!"
As soon as I heard him say the word "yes", I immediately understood that several of the cultists who broke into this place before had also encountered Chen Zhonghao, and most likely died at the hands of Chen Zhonghao.
Wen Qingshan naturally understood the meaning of Chen Zhonghao's words. He hurriedly said: "We are not on the same road as those cultists. We are here just to prevent the evil stones from falling into the hands of the cultists...
…”
Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhonghao interrupted him: "Don't argue! The Ming Stone is the emperor's favorite thing. The emperor ordered me to place it in his biological father's mausoleum in order to allow his biological father's soul to be preserved."
Rest in peace. You guys trespassing here are obviously treasonous!"
After hearing what Chen Zhonghao said, everyone was stunned. Judging from his tone, it seemed that they still didn't know the true purpose of the evil stone.
Wen Qingshan calmed down and asked, "Is it possible that Mr. Chen still doesn't know the origin of this evil stone?"
Chen Zhonghao snorted softly and replied: "Huh! How could I not know! The Ming Stone is a treasure gathered by the spirit of the God of the Underworld, which can ensure the souls of the deceased rest in peace! No one dares to disturb them. Because of this, Wuliang Zhenren
I would recommend that the Hades Stone be placed in the mausoleum of the emperor’s biological father.”
Hearing what he said, I immediately understood what was going on: Chen Zhonghao really didn’t know the true origin of the evil stone, let alone what the evil stone meant to the people in the cult.
The secret decree actually had nothing to do with the evil stone, but the secret construction of a mausoleum for Chen Shiguan, his Han biological father. As for the evil stone, it was just used as a burial object for Chen Shiguan.
But in any case, Chen Zhonghao's words confirmed one thing, that is, the evil stone is indeed in this mausoleum.
Ouyang Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Where is that evil stone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Zhonghao raised his head and laughed.
Just when we all thought that it was impossible for him to tell the whereabouts of the Evil Stone, he suddenly stopped laughing, stared at us with his dark eyes, completely missing the whites of his eyes, and said coldly: "You want to know the whereabouts of the Evil Stone.
, it’s okay to tell you that the Ming Stone is lying quietly at the bottom of Xuan Ming Lake along with the remains of the emperor’s biological father!”
"Xuanming Lake? Could it be the underground Yin Lake?" Ouyang Yi asked.
Chen Zhonghao laughed and said: "Hahahaha, why, Mo Feier and others still want to dive into the nine-foot-deep Xuanming Lake and fish out the Mingshi Stone? Don't say you don't have this ability, even if you do, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, because
Today next year will be your death anniversary!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared without a trace right under our noses.
Long Yi was shocked and said: "Holy crap! Why did this devil suddenly disappear?"
I quickly said: "Everyone, please be careful, the Drought Demon is extremely fast and can move a long distance instantly."
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a burst of gunshots. Needless to say, Weizi must have pulled the trigger, because only the automatic rifle in his hand could fire bursts of bullets.
