We all followed the sound and looked at the gate of the palace. Chen Mo, wearing a black cloak, appeared at the gate at some unknown time.
Seeing that Chen Mo was safe and sound, I ran over almost crying with joy. I felt like I had millions of words scrambling to speak out, but in the end I couldn't say anything.
Chen Mo patted my back and said softly: "The old man is an alarmist. Don't listen to him. These people are so ambitious that none of their words can be taken seriously."
Zhang Jisheng also walked up, but he was probably still afraid of the water vapor brought by the waterfall on the pool outside the door, so he did not dare to get too close. He stopped when he was still some distance away from us, and then said: "Chen Mo,
Where did you go before, we are all worried."
Chen Mo glanced at Zhang Jisheng and said lightly: "I did something else." The perfunctory tone was obvious in his tone, and Zhang Jisheng's face looked a little ugly.
After he finished speaking, he walked to Xiangyu and asked her: "How are your eyes? Have you touched the water in the pool or the water of the waterfall?"
Xiangyu became nervous again after being asked this question by Chen Mo. She was always careful and very organized, but what she said now was almost incoherent, "I was close to the pool to take pictures of the waterfall, and suddenly my eyes hurt. I can't
Do you know if I have touched the water, Chen Mo, am I going to go blind?"
She held Chen Mo's hand, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
"This is air embolism." Chen Mo gently broke away from Xiangyu's hand and said.
Xiangyu's face turned pale instantly. Although Chen Mo didn't say anything more, judging from Xiangyu's performance, this should be a more serious disease.
Probably seeing our doubts, Xiangyu calmed down for a while and then began to explain to us what air embolism was.
"Air embolism means that air enters the blood circulation and reaches the lungs, blocking the main pathway of the pulmonary artery. The common symptoms are pain and neurological symptoms. The symptoms in my eyes may be because the air in the blood affects the central nervous system. Air embolism
If the disease is serious, it can cause blindness in both eyes." Xiangyu said feebly, with a tone full of helplessness.
"But how does this air enter our blood?" I asked in confusion.
"Everything in this cave, including waterfalls, pools, stalactites, etc., may contain things that can harm the human body." Chen Mo said.
"Are you saying there is radiation here?" I asked.
"Perhaps there is something more powerful than radiation, beyond the current level of human understanding." Chen Mo said lightly.
"Then what should we do now? Should we go back the way we came?" Xiangyu asked, grabbing Chen Mo's words. She was sick and she was more anxious than anyone else.
"Jisheng, you take Xiangyu for treatment first. There is something in this ancient temple that can suppress air embolism."
Chen Mo said this suddenly, and all of us seemed not to understand and looked at him in confusion.
"You guys go back the way you came. When you go to the stone chamber with the beeswax coffin engraved with the Zhu Yin statue, open the book. This book contains the methods of treating diseases." Chen Mo handed a small square book to Zhang Jisheng.
When the old man on the side saw this, he snorted coldly and ignored us. He walked to the edge of the cave and sat down with his back against the wall.
After trekking in such an environment for a long time, I felt that the old man's physical strength had reached its limit.
Zhang Jisheng took the small book and was about to open it to read, but Chen Mo held his hand down: "It's too late, Xiangyu doesn't have much time to wait."
"What about you? There's something wrong with this arrangement. Wouldn't it be better if we all act together? We are true brothers who share blessings and hardships." Zhang Jisheng said reluctantly.
"Meet here later and I'll take you out." Chen Mo skipped Zhang Jisheng's questions and went straight to his plan.
"Chen Mo, why don't you let Zhou Cang accompany me?" Xiang Yu's voice was low, as if pleading with Chen Mo. She looked at me with red eyes and wide eyes.
"No." Chen Mo said bluntly.
Xiangyu was so frightened that she flinched. It felt like a breath was blocking her throat, which made her eyes red. The injured eyes directly broke her psychological defense. Xiangyu was now as frightened as a bird.
, a sudden surprise.
"But..." Zhang Jisheng planned to say something else.
However, Chen Mo didn't give him a chance to finish. He suddenly raised his eyes, stared with a pair of fierce eyes, and said in an extremely terrifying voice: "But what?"
It was a look I had never seen before, full of hostility. I could hardly believe that Chen Mo could have such a ferocious moment.
Zhang Jisheng was immediately discouraged and muttered: "The entrance to the cave is so high, I can't even get Xiangyu up."
Hearing that Zhang Jisheng relented, Chen Mo also withdrew his eyes, walked to the pottery lamp, and motioned for me to come over and help.
He wanted to use the pottery lamp as a ladder for Xiangyu and others to climb up.
What was unexpected was that the pottery lamp was so heavy. Chen Mo and I could hardly shake it, let alone move it.
Upon seeing this, Xiangyu immediately stepped forward to help, but her strength as a weak woman was nothing compared to the weight of the pottery lamp.
Zhang Jisheng was probably embarrassed, so he came to help. The four of us, after a lot of effort and dragging, finally moved the pottery lamp to the side and lower part of the cave entrance.
"Climb up along the pottery lamp, Xiangyu, can you do it?" I asked Xiangyu.
Xiangyu nodded heavily.
With our help, they finally climbed up to the entrance of the cave.
I held the pottery lamp and panted. Looking at Chen Mo, whose expression remained unchanged and his breathing rate hardly changed, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Chen Mo, what is this method of treatment?" I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"The leeches in the beeswax coffin can suck out the excess air in the blood while sucking blood."
This answer made my jaw drop in shock, and I instantly felt uncomfortable all over my body, "You asked Xiangyu to lie down in a beeswax coffin and let leeches suck blood? But how did you know that leeches have this function?"
"Because I have just climbed out of the candle-shadowed beeswax coffin."
Chen Mo said, looking at the waterfall outside the door, his eyes a little confused.
"Chen Mo, don't tell me, you have already been here." I felt my heart tightening and looked at Chen Mo with my mouth wide open.
Chen Mo looked at me and walked out of the hall without saying a word. When I saw this, I followed him.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, the wooden kite that fell down with Xiang Yu from the crystal head actually stood in the open space outside the door.
"Chen Mo, did you bring it?" I said in surprise.
"Hmm." Chen Mo squatted down and played with the wooden kite on the ground.
"Why?"
"It can help you enter the ancient pagoda," Chen Mo raised his head and looked at me.
"How do you know this?"
"It's the mural in the hall."
"Where are the murals? Why haven't we seen them?"
"You were so anxious to escape, of course you didn't notice the changes in the stone pillars."
From Chen Mo's words, I roughly figured out that the mural he was talking about should be on the four rows of stone pillars in the middle of the hall that was just on fire.
Before I had time to ask Chen Mo what was painted on the mural, he had already lifted one of the wings of the wooden kite and motioned for me to come over and take a look.
This rather large wooden kite actually resembles a small airplane. Under its wings, there is a small space that can probably accommodate a person squatting in it.
"Do you want me to sit in this thing and fly over there?" I looked at Chen Mo and said, thinking this is too incredible.
"It's us." He said, about to get into the wooden kite.
"Are you desperate for your life?"
A voice came from behind me, and I turned around. It was the old man speaking to Chen Mo.
