Chapter 245 Wen Xiangyu
The journey back was peaceful. Although it was a little different from when they came, Chen Ziyan and the others could feel that they were constantly rising.
Now what they are walking through is no longer a robbery cave, but an underground passage similar to the one before.
It’s not that Chen Ziyan and the others don’t want to go back the way they came, but that they can no longer find the original way. After coming out of the secret passage, what appears in front of them is the underground passage, so they have no choice but to go through This leaves.
And just when he reached a fork in the road, Ding Sitian suddenly said: "Wait a minute."
While speaking, her nostrils twitched slightly, as if catching some smell in the air.
When the others saw this, they knew that Ding Sitian had discovered something. They all stopped and looked at her, waiting for the answer quietly.
After carefully identifying it for a few minutes, Ding Sitian said to the others: "Follow me."
She noticed something special through some subtle smells in the air. thing.
Looking at Ding Sitian who was leading the way, Chen Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly. He probably knew what attracted Ding Sitian.
It's just that there have been too many changes, so Chen Ziyan is not completely sure. He can only say that he has some guesses.
If he had not guessed, this thing was probably Wen Xiangyu who appeared in the original plot.
Not long after walking, a cave entrance appeared in front of them. At this time, everyone else also smelled the smell.
Wang Kaixuan stood in front of the cave entrance and sniffed fiercely, wondering: "Oh, what kind of smell is this? Why is it so fragrant? It's just like chocolate."
Hu Baxiao The conscious mind wanted to stop it, but thinking of Ding Sitian's previous actions, she did not say anything, and sniffed: "Don't say it, it really means that, but where does the chocolate come from here?"
Hu Bayi could sense that there was something wrong with this. After all, this was an unknown depth underground, and there shouldn't be any chocolate no matter what.
Then he looked at Ding Sitian, who was the first to notice the abnormality, and asked: "Sitian, do you know something?"
He has already seen how sensitive Ding Sitian's sense of smell is. However, coupled with the fact that she didn't take any precautions, Hu Bayi had reason to believe that Ding Sitian already had the answer in his heart.
The fact did not exceed Hu Bayi's expectation. Ding Sitian nodded lightly and said: "I already know roughly what the smell is, but this kind of thing is too rare, and I don't know what it smells like." I have seen the real thing, so I can’t be completely sure.”
Wen Xiangyu is too rare. Ding Sitian has also read some records in the classics, but has never seen the real thing.
Now I'm just making some guesses based on the characteristics of the smell, so my answer is a bit ambiguous.
"What is it?" Hu Bayi obviously wanted to know more, so he asked.
Hearing his question, Ding Sitian gave the answer she guessed: "If it's correct, it should be Wen Xiangyu."
"Wen Xiangyu?" Hu Bayi thought for a moment and asked, "But that rumored royal secret treasure?"
He didn't know much about Wen Xiangyu. The label that impressed him most was the four words 'royal secret treasure', but These four words alone are enough, there is no need to say more.
"What the hell is this smelling jade? Why does it smell so good? It's really sweet and greasy, just like that creamy chocolate." Wang Kaixuan had never heard of this word, so he didn't know what it meant. He just felt that this smell The taste is getting more and more tempting, and saliva is secreting rapidly in the mouth.
However, Shirley Yang did not participate in it. Instead, she frowned. She was also paying attention to the conversation at first, but she soon realized something was wrong.
Because Shirley Yang discovered that since the sweet smell became stronger and stronger, her body also experienced some changes.
After staying underground for so long, it is inevitable to feel a little tired, but after smelling the fragrance, the physical fatigue disappeared out of thin air.
And the whole person became energetic. It can be said that the muscles and bones all over the body are tender, and the limbs are smooth and comfortable.
This phenomenon is very abnormal. It should be noted that there is no such thing as a pie in the sky.
So the more comfortable she felt, the more uneasy Shirley Yang felt.
Feeling uneasy, she quietly touched Chen Ziyan and said, "Mr. Chen, is it really okay?"
Among the people present, Shirley Yang trusted the most. It was Chen Ziyan, so he was the first person who came to mind at this time.
Although Chen Ziyan didn’t know what Shirley Yang was thinking, seeing the worried look on her face, he could guess some of the reasons, so he explained to her in a low voice:
"Don't worry, the fragrant jade is not an evil thing. This object is also called golden fragrant jade. It is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth. People often say that the golden fragrant jade cannot be recognized by eyes. This is what they are talking about."
< br>Although Chen Ziyan’s voice was low, others could hear it clearly in such an environment.
After Ding Sitian heard what he said, she continued: "This object was first seen in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was mostly collected by the royal family. It is said that this fragrant jade has unique properties and infinite uses. The more it dries, the more it is dried. The environment, the stronger its aroma. Someone once wrote an article praising this thing: The world has never heard of flowers explaining its meaning, but now we can see the fragrance of jade; the creation of the heavenly palace is unimaginable, and it is infinitely wonderful."
" No one can tell exactly what the magical effect is, but one thing is certain, the outer skin of this fragrant jade is a very precious medicinal material."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he quickly asked: " Then Xiao Ding, is this scented jade valuable? ”
Ding Sitian didn't need to answer, Hu Bayi helped give the answer: "Of course, the price of this thing is not more than gold, but it is definitely about the same."
"Then what are we waiting for? Ah, hurry up and find the things!" Whether it was because of the fragrance of the fragrant jade or because the price aroused his interest, Wang Kaixuan immediately became energetic and muttered as he walked forward.
The others did not stop him and followed him into the cave entrance.
As soon as I walked in, I found that the cave was very narrow, with a height of only more than two meters and a width of only three or four meters. The cave was full of strange-shaped rocks, all winding and circling like old trees. .
Wang Kaixuan, who walked in first, was bending over and sniffing hard with his nose, trying to find out where Wen Xiangyu was.
Maybe it's because the smell here is so strong, or maybe it's because Wang Kaixuan's nose is really good. After wandering around like this for two times, he actually found where it was.
Chen Ziyan and others were still observing the situation in the cave when they heard Wang Kaixuan pointing to a rock deep in the cave and saying: "That's it, the smell is coming from here."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth a few times, looking salivating.
Chen Ziyan and several others walked over and looked at the rock pointed by Wang Kaixuan. They found that it was a large rock like a tree trunk, with a brownish-yellow appearance. At first glance, it looked like it was covered with a layer of slurry, with some of it exposed. All parts are translucent, and the stone surface is covered with cracked and scattered patterns. When illuminated by the light, it seems that you can see the texture inside the stone flowing, especially the exposed parts are even more greasy and transparent. .
And the refreshing and rich aroma emanates from this stone.
Wang Kaixuan swallowed involuntarily, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it, then put his finger to his nose, turned around and said: "It really smells good! Do you think this thing is edible?"
Hu Bayi shook his head and said: "This is probably a fossil of a tree trunk. It must not be eaten."
He dug a lot of holes in Kunlun Mountain back then, and various types of rocks were not uncommon, but he had never seen them before. Which ones are edible?
"But didn't Xiao Ding just say that the outer skin of this thing is medicine? Why can't it be eaten?" Wang Kaixuan asked with some confusion, thinking of Ding Sitian's words.
"This..." Hu Bayi was speechless by his question and didn't know how to answer for a while. Logically speaking, stones cannot be eaten, but they are also used as medicine, which makes him confused about the joints here.
Chen Ziyan said helplessly: "Fat man, aren't you confusing the concept? Can it be used as medicine and can it be eaten?" I understand, I know that Hu Bayi has fallen into a little logical trap, so I try to help him out.
Then, Chen Ziyan continued: "Besides, if you eat it, what will you get to sell it for?"
When it comes to selling money, Wang Kaixuan instantly wondered whether he could eat it. Put it behind his mind: "That's true, it's more practical to sell money. If you have money, you can eat whatever you want."
Chen Ziyan nodded, looked at the rock wrapped with Wenxiang Jade, and said: "Looking at the appearance of this stone, there are no artificial traces. It seems to be naturally formed. This is an ownerless thing. Since we are destined to meet each other, Then just take it back."
Wang Kaixuan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately bent down to hold Wen Xiangyu in his arms: "Okay!"< br>
As soon as Hu Ba saw this, he wanted to take the wooden box from his back. The remaining road was still far away, and Wang Kaixuan could not be allowed to hold the stone while carrying a heavy weight on his back. A large, light wooden box.
This time Wang Kaixuan did not shirk. He also knew that carrying these two things at the same time would consume too much of his physical strength.
Ding Sitian said at this moment: "It's not good to hold her like this. You have to cover up the fragrance. At the very least, you have to find something to hold her up."
Through the observation just now, she found that the aroma of this fragrant jade was a bit strange. If she brought it in without concealing it, she might cause some trouble.
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately took out a sealed bag from his bag and put the rock in it.
Then he took off his coat and wrapped it in another layer.
This sealed bag was prepared by him for the artifacts in the tomb, but he didn’t expect to use it here.
After taking care of the fragrant jade, several people exited the cave and continued along the same path.
After walking in the underground passage for almost an hour, Chen Ziyan found a cave entrance again in front of him.
I quickly walked over and took a look, and suddenly I felt a sense of enlightenment. I saw a familiar vast space in front of me.
Unknowingly, they walked to the cave they had discovered before.
Wang Kaixuan laughed immediately when he saw that they had reached this point: "It's stable this time."
After reaching this point, they only need to follow the route in their memory, and they will naturally be able to Get out of this underground.
This discovery refreshed everyone's spirits, and they had no intention of resting here. They immediately rushed towards the exit along the underground passage they had opened up.
The rest of the way was smooth sailing. They successfully returned to the ground without encountering any obstacles.
"Back! The leaders are back!"
Chen Ziyan and the others had just emerged when they heard an exclamation from above their heads.
This made several people look at each other, a little confused.
When they returned to the camp, they happened to meet Captain Lin who came in a hurry.
Seeing that Chen Ziyan and others, especially the nominal commander Ding Sitian, were fine, Captain Lin breathed an unabashed sigh of relief.
His actions made several people puzzled, so Ding Sitian asked: "Captain Lin, what happened?"
"You will be fine when you come back. ." Captain Lin's tone was full of emotion, and then he said with some complaint: "I said leaders, why did you go down for so long before coming back?"
But he was worried, what if Chen Ziyan and the others were there today. If he doesn't come back, Captain Lin plans to report the situation here and apply to take people underground for rescue.
Chen Ziyan heard something was wrong and asked: "Captain Lin, how long have we been gone?"
Although Captain Lin was a little confused as to why he asked, he still replied: "Nearly three days."
Hearing this answer, Chen Ziyan finally understood why Captain Lin behaved like this.
But what he couldn't understand was that they hadn't even made it to one day, so how could three days have passed?
Wang Kaixuan even asked directly: ‘What? Three days? ’
Captain Lin nodded: "Yes, it's not long until three days."
Seeing that Captain Lin's expression did not seem to be fake, he looked at Hu Bayi in disbelief: "Old Hu, should we Will you really stay down there for that long?”
Wang Kaixuan was also a little unsure, after all, he had been in a trance for a while.
Hu Bayi pondered for a moment and said: "It seems like it, but my memory doesn't last that long."
Shirley Yang said at this time: "It should be the ghost Tomb.”
Her thoughts were not disturbed, so she quickly grasped the key points.
If something went wrong, the most likely problem would be the ghost tomb as a supernatural product.
As for the temple at the back, only Chen Ziyan was in trouble at that time, and the others remained rational from beginning to end.
"Is it possible that the time in the Ghost Tomb is chaotic?" Chen Ziyan thought.
He suspected that the Ghost Tomb not only had spatial attributes, but also that some time changes had occurred over the long years, such as the different speed of time from the outside world.
Although it is strange to say this, it is not too special compared to the other things below.
But this is not the time to talk about this, so Chen Ziyan decisively cut off his thoughts and said: "We will talk about this later. Captain Lin, I don’t know if anyone else will come out before we come out. ?”
He thought of Shen Rong and others, that’s why he asked.
Faced with Chen Ziyan's question, Captain Lin shook his head: "No one came out. We have been controlling the surrounding area."
"That's it." Chen Ziyan nodded, no Ask more.
If you put it this way, Shen Rong and others should have left here through other methods.
Such a result is not surprising. After all, he is a veteran who has been around for many years. He should have his own way to avoid being noticed.
