Chapter 304: Poison

Brother Yaozi's eyes were too strange, which made people imagine.

Although Shunzi was quite dull, he was also frightened by Brother Yaozi's look. He couldn't help but take a step back and asked stutteringly: "What's wrong?"

"I need to borrow an object from you!"

Brother Yaozi smiled and said: "Take out the holy object left by your father?"

Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out the palm-sized metal piece that Luo Songyuan had taken from the giant stone temple at the foot of the mountain.

Brother Yaozi took the object, rubbed it in his palm, squinted his eyes slightly, and his expression was unclear. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took the metal piece and tried to insert it into the narrow hole of the tomb door.

However, the metal piece was a little big and could not be inserted at all.

This made Brother Yaozi frown and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Xinya asked: "Do you suspect that this so-called holy object is the key to open this tomb door?"

"I have to think so."

Brother Yaozi nodded solemnly.

He said that this place is very strange.

A small path for the craftsmen to escape. After the craftsmen came out, they should have made a dead door directly and completely sealed the tomb, but left a living door. Coupled with the strange behavior of this mysterious ancient country, and then connected with the song sung by the mermaid, people can't help but have a weird idea-this ancient tomb is of great significance, and the people of this ancient country will come back! !

If this speculation is true, then the key to open this door must be here!

And the holy temple at the foot of the mountain is really strange. It is completely different from the houses built by the sailors who drifted here. It is obviously something from the same era as the ancient tomb. The sailors controlled by the Poli beast are extremely respectful to the megalithic temple. The Poli beast itself is the guardian beast of this ancient tomb.

When all these are combined, an answer is obvious - the sacred objects enshrined in the temple must have a great relationship with this ancient tomb! !

"And, think carefully about what Luo Songyuan's remaining soul said at the last moment."

Brother Yaozi narrowed his eyes slightly: "He only mentioned two words, one is the top of the mountain, and the other is the bug. There is no need to say more about the bug. This is his reminder to us that Qi Monkey and others have long been controlled by the young beast of the Poli beast!

Only the top of the mountain puzzled us at that time.

Now it seems that the top of the mountain that Luo Songyuan mentioned refers to this ancient tomb!!

When he said the word top of the mountain, his eyes were always staring straight at the cabin where he lived before his death. It was in that cabin that we found his navigation diary, and this holy object was sandwiched in the diary. This hint is already very straightforward.

It seems that Luo Songyuan and his people should have walked very far back then, at least they have glimpsed some secrets of this ancient tomb. If nothing unexpected happens, I guess they may have found the main entrance of the ancient tomb, and finally encountered an inexplicable murder, and all of them were robbed and became Yinshanwen."

At this point, Brother Yaozi fell into deep thought, holding the holy object tightly between his fingers, trembling slightly. He must be hesitating and struggling in his heart. After a moment of silence, he really couldn't think of an answer, and said irritably: "All the clues tell me that this holy object should be the key to the tomb door, but why can't it be inserted? There must be something wrong..."

If you want to figure out some things, you can use your imagination.

Moreover, Brother Yaozi's words connected all the puzzles we had experienced before, with evidence, and people couldn't help but pay attention to it.

I forced myself to calm down. This holy object was discovered by Luo Songyuan, but he didn't mention how to use it. So, the answer to how to use it might be in the megalithic temple. I couldn't help but close my eyes and carefully review everything I saw when I entered the megalithic temple, every decoration...

In fact, the megalithic temple was extremely simple. Apart from the architectural structure of the temple, the only thing that attracted my attention was the pile of huge stones in the center that looked like a burning flame. In front of it was a stone plate with holy objects on it.

"Flame?"

My eyes lit up, and I took the holy object from Brother Yaozi. It can be divided into two parts. The central part is iron, and the outer part is indeed magnesium! !

If my chemistry teacher didn't lie to me, I remember... magnesium can burn!

"Give me the lighter!"

When I said this, Lao Bai's face changed wildly.

"Too reckless!!"

Brother Yaozi also shook his head: "Once it burns, if we don't guess it right, we can't restore this thing, and we can't cross this door!"

"What can people do about it?"

I laughed and said, "That's all the clues. Apart from this, we have no better way. If we fail, it can only mean that God doesn't let me take the Earth Spirit Pearl born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. I can only die. I'm betting!!"

Although I laughed calmly, the tomb door made us helpless. I had already been stubborn in my heart. The crazy gambling nature that almost pushed me to the road of destruction several times emerged again, so I bet on my own future and life. Under the gaze of Brother Yaozi and Lao Bai, I took out a lighter and gently roasted the holy object on the flame.

Tsk!

A dazzling white light burst out, and I casually threw the holy object away. After a moment, the flame went out. A tree-shaped iron object was mixed in a pile of white magnesium oxide. I picked it out casually. The residual heat had not yet dissipated, and it was a little hot. I pinched it slightly and immediately put it on the hole of the tomb door.

The thickness is just right, and the size is exactly right!

I laughed and stuffed the tree-shaped iron piece in at once.

"This ancient country... does have some tricks."

Zhang Xinya looked embarrassed and couldn't help saying: "An ancient country that predates the Tang Dynasty actually began to study the characteristics of matter. This is already on the road of modern science. When did modern science really begin? It should have started with Newton and his people. It's only been three hundred years ago. Even if they coexisted with the Tang Dynasty, they were a full thousand years ahead of other countries. If they hadn't had any complications, who knows what would happen now...

What are those countries of the same period doing? Muhammad is using the saying that there are ninety-nine virgins waiting in heaven after death to attract believers!!"

Shunzi naturally had no time to sigh about these. He stared at the iron piece stuffed into the hole with a look of reluctance. After all, this was left to him by his father. It was probably the biggest gain of his trip. After looking at it for a long time and seeing that he couldn't take it out, he couldn't help saying: "But... this door still doesn't respond at all!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the keyhole. As a result, he screamed "Ah" as soon as he touched it. His index finger cramped instantly, his face was twisted, and the screams were frightening. The fingertips "sizzled" and the white eyes appeared. The skin and flesh turned into soup in the blink of an eye...

My face changed drastically, and I pulled him over and immediately turned on the kettle to wash his fingers. Then, I didn't care whether it was clean or not. I grabbed the hem of my shirt and wrapped it around his fingers. I didn't know what it was, but it was always right to wash it.

Shunzi screamed in pain and struggled constantly. Brother Yaozi and Wushuang came up and restrained him.

My hand holding his fingers was shaking gently. Although there was a piece of clothing between us, I could clearly feel that it was hard underneath, and it was obvious that the bones were exposed...

What on earth was that? It could melt the flesh and blood in an instant. If it hadn't been washed in time, Shunzi's finger would probably have been corroded completely!

Shunzi's screams became weaker and weaker, and it seemed that the pain was over. I let go of him and took a look. As expected, the bones on his fingers were clearly visible.

"Wushuang, bandage him."

I sighed and asked Wushuang to help him to the side. Then I leaned over to the keyhole to observe carefully. I saw some transparent liquid flowing out of it. I leaned over to smell it, and the liquid actually exuded a smell similar to alcohol.

Where the liquid flowed, the black steel was emitting white foam, which should be corroding the black steel.

I went to observe the crack of the door again, and as expected, there was also similar acid flowing out there.

"I understand."

I said, "This strong acid is hidden inside the tomb door. When we insert the key, the strong acid will break and corrode the gap of the tomb door, and then the tomb door will naturally open. As for the strong acid overflowing from the keyhole, it is entirely because of the long time. Some places are not so well sealed, which is an acid leak."

My master leaned in front of the door and looked at it for a moment, saying that this acid is called Mian Poison.

There is a river in China called Mianshui, located in the upper reaches of Hanshui in Shaanxi, and this Mian Poison has nothing to do with Mianshui. It has something to do with a clan called Qi Diao in the past.

Qi Diao was originally a descendant of Shennong, and originally had the surname Jiang. However, when it was passed down to the 41st generation, it was probably the grandson of Boyi and Shuqi. They lived in seclusion to the east of Qishui, and later moved to Qiyuan in Shangqiu, so they changed their surnames.

When the clan passed down to the 51st generation, a relatively promising child was born. His name was Qimian. He had always been ambitious and liked to travel. He once went all the way south and went deep into Yunmengze, which is now the Jianghan Plain in Hubei. However, Yunmengze at that time was not as rich as it is now. It was completely a swamp. Poisonous insects and miasma were everywhere. Alligators lay by the water and would eat people at any time. It was not suitable for human survival at all. Therefore, those who could return from Yunmengze were all ruthless people.

Qi Mian once saw a very special cicada in Yunmengze. This cicada was usually invisible and would only appear on branches when it rained. He called it Yunmeng Rain Cicada and was very interested in this elusive creature. Later, he found that any large tree where this rain cicada had lived would wither and die soon. He carefully observed for a long time before gradually confirming that this rain cicada would secrete an acid on rainy days, which killed the trees. Nothing could be contained except the waxed skin.

At that time, people did not have the concept of strong acid and weak acid. Because Qi Mian discovered this thing, he called it Mian poison.

However, because the silt brought by the Yangtze River and Han River continued to accumulate, the Hanjiang Delta continued to expand, and Yunmengze was gradually dismembered. Many creatures living in it at that time gradually went extinct because their habitats were destroyed. Rain cicadas were among them. Like the 鸩鸟, it was an extinct ancient creature.

My master said that during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yunmeng Lake had shrunk by half, and this kind of rain cicada was already very rare at that time. When Yunmeng Lake completely disintegrated during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the rain cicada completely disappeared, and only some texts recorded the characteristics of this creature.

It seems that there should be a large number of rain cicadas living in the territory of this ancient country, and they have begun to use this thing early.

Soon, a large amount of white foam began to flow out of the cracks of the nearly perfect tomb door, and the air was filled with a sour smell and a strong smell of alcohol. Not long after, I heard a strange "crackling" sound.

"The tomb door is disconnected!"

My eyes lit up, and I kicked the tomb door. I heard a "boom" and the tomb door fell forward. A narrow tomb passage appeared in front of us. Lao Bai got closer and saw gray mist floating in the tomb passage, floating out...

Lao Bai got closer and took a big breath. He squinted his eyes slightly, his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting. After a moment, he jumped up and shouted: "Run!!!"
