The cup is very small, a little over two inches, round, with a wide mouth and no handle. Although the cup body is dirty, the pattern on the outside still shows its elegance.
Rougu is no stranger to this cup. Three years ago, Shen Xu dug up a coffin. Among the funerary objects next to the coffin was a brocade box wrapped in longevity satin cloth. Inside the brocade box was a set of silver wine vessels. There were seven such silver cups in it.
That tomb is far away in the mountains of Liushi Mountain in Zhenzhou. It is extremely hidden and has a history of about three hundred years. It was not Shen Shu who wanted to dig it, but Shen Shu's master, Qingzhou Sage Lao Fan Zhuyi.
The set of wine vessels was finally taken away by Ji Hong and is now in Lin Qingfeng's hands. She likes to collect these the most.
Shen Xu looked at the small cup and stopped moving his fingers. Rougu didn't know what he was thinking.
Young Master Rougu called out.
Shen Xu raised his eyes to look at her, responded, and threw the cup back.
The cup fell back to where it had rolled out, landing on top of the rotting, dark debris.
Guess what this place is for? Shen Xu looked at the cup and asked.
Rougu shook her head and turned to look at him: You never said it, and I couldn't guess it.
The torch was held by Shen Xu, his face covered with a cloth, and his straight nose held the cloth high.
When it comes to refining elixirs, Shen Xu said lightly, many of them are just dregs of medicine.
Medicine dregs? Rougu looked at the broken head, her eyes filled with surprise. This head was so soft, could it be?
As for this baby, maybe it was too late. Shen Xu said.
It's so disgusting. Rougu wants to vomit.
Shen Xu threw away the handkerchief in his hand, picked up the long sword on the ground, walked forward, and said: This dark hall is called Qianqiu Hall. There are about four alchemy rooms dedicated to making longevity pills.
Changsheng Pill? Rougu thought softly.
Do you believe in immortality in this world? Shen Xu turned back and looked at Rou Gu.
Rou Gu shook her head and said: "I don't believe it. If there is immortality, how can this place be deserted?"
Shen Xu smiled lightly: I don't believe it either.
He looked up and looked around, and said as he walked: But there will definitely be a large collection of medical books and medicines here, and there may also be some medicinal materials.
After a hundred years, the medicinal materials will no longer be usable.
But you can take a look and see which medicinal materials they value.
Rou Gu felt sick to her stomach when she thought of the head and the baby.
Shen Xu seemed to have thought of this as well. He paused and said, "However, I understand what to do and what not to do, what is right and wrong."
Yes, Rougu nodded.
The men searched for a long time and found five doors. Three of them were blocked and could not be entered, and there were two left.
Shen Xu took the people to the nearest one first.
The door was not blocked, but it was difficult to open and it took a lot of effort to get it open.
The long grinding sound was depressing, and I moved inside inch by inch. What appeared was an empty and spacious stone room with a table in the middle, several stools, and corrupted calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls. In addition, it was full of Full of accumulated dust and spiders and nothing else.
Shen Xu stepped forward holding a torch, and there were steps going down in front of him. His men followed behind him, and like him, they looked up and around.
Maybe we are the only ones who have been here in the past hundreds of years. Rougu said.
Shen Xu stopped in front of the table, the sword in his hand lightly crossed the table, and the sharp tip of the long sword gathered the dust into one place.
One day in the middle of the mountain, thousands of years have passed in this world, and I am smiling knowingly. This feels so good.
He turned back, looked at his men, and said: I haven't slept all night, so rest here.
Yes. Everyone responded.
When the light of day falls, the visibility in the abyss is very good, and you can see far and wide.
The frost and snow in the surrounding mountains are slowly sinking, and snow chunks fall from time to time around the cliffs. In some places, thin streams of water are gradually flowing down.
Shen Xu's men who stayed above were constantly cleaning up the frost and snow around them, trying to at least keep this area dry, but it was very difficult. This was the most important reason why Shen Xu would rather go down overnight.
At the same time, their eyes were constantly looking around.
Where has he gone? One of his men said.
The thinner subordinate looked into the distance and said, is there someone there?
The companions all looked up.
Just when they were not far uphill, something seemed to be approaching them.
Beast?
It seems to be a human being.
He is back?
It seems like a little girl?
The group of grass and trees was getting closer and closer, and everyone put up a defensive posture, retreated, and waited sternly.
A piece of lush forest was pushed aside, frost and snow fell, and a smiling face appeared: You have good eyesight!
The girl had a playful and brilliant smile, a crisp voice, and her skin was as white as snow. The purple-edged white clothes of the Yuanhe Sect made her seem to reflect light.
Ah Li. One of her subordinates recognized her.
The others were startled and became more defensive than before, looking at her warily.
What is she doing here at this time?
If something bad happens, it will really be a big trouble.
Who is he you are talking about? Xia Zhaoyi asked.
It's Shen Lie, one person said, are you looking for Shen Lie?
I'm here to see Shen Xu. Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they looked at her more warily.
Pfft! Xia Zhaoyi smiled, as bright as a peach plum, and said, "I won't scare you anymore. I'm here to find Shen Lie. Where is Shen Lie?"
All the subordinates were annoyed. If she were an ordinary child, they would definitely hang her up on the edge of a cliff and scare her for a long time.
Did Shen Lie go down? Xia Zhaoyi looked towards the cliff.
He went to find the way, one of his men said, and he had been walking for about a quarter of an hour.
Didn't he pass here? Xia Zhaoyi stretched out his finger.
He said he was not stupid. The thinnest subordinate on the side replied dryly.
Yes, Xia Zhaoyi nodded, you guys with bad intentions might cut the rope.
What nonsense! One of his subordinates shouted immediately.
Another subordinate muttered in a low voice: I think he is timid and scared.
Oh, Xia Zhaoyi looked at that subordinate, you are very brave, how about I hang you up here and see how brave you are?
She was clearly a little girl, only reaching their shoulders, and there were many of them, and she was the only one in the shadow. But when she said it like this, it made people feel strangely uncomfortable and unkind.
The subordinate stopped talking. The snow-clearing broom was still in front of him, and he remained vigilant.
Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his gaze, looked around, and said: Which direction did Shen Lie go?
Over there. One of the men pointed south.
But what he said was to find a way, maybe he went around to the north somewhere.
Well, thank you very much. Xia Zhaoyi raised his hands and clasped his fists.
She turned around to leave, but after a few steps, she turned back and looked at these men.
I just remembered something, Xia Zhaoyi said, when did you come? Apart from you, have you seen anyone else in this area?
