Before the mechanism started, there was a huge vibration under the feet, as if there were countless precision gears turning, it was very huge.
The bones piled up on the ground were spread out even more and scattered in all directions due to the loud noise.
Ten feet away from the bones, Shen Xu said in a deep voice: "Since there is a mechanism, someone is tampering with it. There may be other people here."
"We are here, and the agency is moving at this moment. Perhaps it is an enemy rather than a friend." Rou Gu said.
Shen Xu looked at Shen Lie, who had been thinking a lot today and was often lost in thought.
"Zhiyan." Shen Xu called.
Shen Lie's black eyes stared blankly at the cold bones in the darkness. After hearing the words, he came back to his senses and turned around and walked towards the water bridge: "From what you heard just now, it seems that there is an alchemy room ahead?"
Shen Xu followed up: "Yeah."
"So, this place is for alchemy?" Shen Lie looked at the iron prison on the other side in the firelight and said, "The living people imprisoned in the iron prison, what are they used for?"
"Maybe it's medicinal materials."
"Medicinal materials..." Shen Lie stopped and looked back at Shen Shu, who was walking towards Shuiqiaoqian, "Using people as medicinal materials?"
"yes."
"Then what are you doing here?" Shen Lie said, "Study?"
Shen Xu smiled and said: "If I really want to learn, I won't call you this time. How can I let you help others do evil and cover their hands in mud? Even if I want to do such a dirty thing, I won't do it." Let you know."
It's like digging up graves, robbing graves, opening coffins and digging up corpses, but I have never called him.
As for murder and arson, if you can prevent him from knowing, then don't let him know.
It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to uphold the image of a brother in front of Shen Lie. Anyway, he doesn't have a positive image at all. He just doesn't want him to touch the darkness that cannot see the light.
His younger brother should be a good man who is sunny and upright and grows up freely. He should not be like him.
Shen Lie withdrew his gaze coldly and walked onto the water bridge.
In the iron prison, some of the bones that had been shaken many times were still leaning on them, while others were completely shattered.
There are twenty-eight cells in total, and each cell contains at least two corpses.
Coming out of the corridor, there is the alchemy room three feet in front. There is a cold return wind on the left, which looks like a cliff, and there is another long corridor on the right.
The alchemy room also had a stone door, which was very heavy and bulky. Several men worked together to push it, and it took a while to move the stone door a little further.
The thick fragrance of medicinal materials spread out from the stone door. When the stone door was completely opened, the medicinal fragrance dispersed and became strong.
There are also lamp holders all around, all lit up, making the entire alchemy room completely illuminated like daylight.
The door they entered was not the main door. The largest door was on the east side, three people high. There were two floor-to-ceiling lamp holders with crane statues on both sides of the door.
There is a large furnace cauldron in the middle of the stone chamber, and there are three small furnace cauldrons on each side. There are many exhaust vents around it, and on the westernmost side, there are two large square vents for discharging waste residue.
There is a long medicine cabinet on the right side of the steps. In front of the medicine cabinet are two large tables put together. On the table are seven white heads. They are no longer clay sculptures outside, but real human bones.
In addition to the medicine cabinet, there are two bookcases on the surrounding stone walls. There are only a few books on the bookcases.
Shen Xu went over to flip through the book, while his men went to look for medicine cabinets.
There is nothing interesting about these few books. They are all medical books that have been widely circulated throughout the world. The only value is probably the date and month when they were signed.
There is the Xia Dynasty six hundred years ago, the Zhang Dynasty three hundred years ago, and between the Xia Dynasty and the Zhang Dynasty, there were nearly two hundred years of historical periods in which several countries were separated and powerful families were divided.
"Is this furnace hundreds of years old?" came a deep voice.
Shen Xu turned around and saw his younger brother standing in front of the largest alchemy furnace and looking at it.
"At least three hundred years." Shen Xu replied.
"I don't think it looks like it." Shen Lie said.
Shen Shu just looked back to read the book. After hearing the words, he looked again, his eyes fell on the alchemy furnace, and said: "Is it because it is still bright and the color has not changed after hundreds of years?" Shen Shu smiled, "I know, this underground palace was like that back then. It was built by the royal family for hundreds of years, and was used, excavated and constructed from generation to generation. All the investment was the most advanced casting technology and design at that time."
"It's dust," Shen Lie looked at the exquisite patterns outside the alchemy furnace and said, "These alchemy furnaces are all different in size, and the craftsmanship and casting methods are all of the same period. However, other alchemy furnaces are full of dust, except this one."
Shen Xu frowned lightly, closed the book, and walked towards him. When he got closer, he stretched out his hand to touch the alchemy furnace, but Shen Lie, who was very fast, grabbed his wrist.
"What if it's poisonous?" Shen Lie said.
"That's poisonous." Shen Xu said, wiping away the fine dust with her slender fingers on the outside of the alchemy furnace.
Indeed, as Shen Lie said, there is very little dust.
He turned around and went to several other alchemy furnaces without reaching out to wipe them. The thick dust accumulated outside could make snow drift when he blew it.
He looked at the big alchemy furnace in front of Shen Lie in confusion and walked back.
"Indeed," Shen Xu raised his hand and placed it on the alchemy furnace, "In the past three hundred years, someone has been here."
"The scope should be smaller," Shen Lie said, "five years."
"Could he be from the Yuanhe Sect?" As he said this, Shen Xu thought of the agency, "Or maybe, that person is right here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight movement came from behind the bookcase where Shen Xu was standing just now.
Shen Lie was stunned and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Following his gaze, Shen Xu also turned her head and looked at the bookcase.
The movement was very subtle, almost inaudible, but it was definitely there, and you could feel it getting closer.
It seems that there is a secret room behind this bookcase.
The men who had just been paying attention to their movements stopped what they were doing and looked at the bookcase.
Rougu walked slowly, approached them, and said very softly: "Master, let me go and take a look."
"Be careful." Shen Xu said.
"Yes." Rougu responded in a low voice, silently pulled out the dagger and walked towards the bookcase.
The movement was getting closer and closer, and then I heard the slight scraping sound of the bookcase, as if something was being pushed out from the inside.
Rougu's eyes were serious, staring at the edge of the bookcase, her breathing stagnant.
Inch by inch, the bookcase was pushed open a crack, and a lot of dust fell from the top of the bookcase. At the same time, a soft little hand was placed on the dark back of the bookcase.
Shen Lie was startled and said quickly: "Stop!"
It was too late, everything happened in an instant, Rougu couldn't see the back of the bookcase, she had already raised the dagger and stabbed towards the front.
The boy who rushed over grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Rougu attacked him in response. Without even a round, she was kicked and thrown to the ground.
The person behind the bookcase took his hand back after seeing the light. Shen Lie opened the bookcase. Behind it was a long step. A little girl stood with her back against the wall. She didn't panic at all and looked at it with bright eyes. A handsome young man standing in a condescending position.
"Ah Li," Shen Lie said, "it's really you."
Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips and smiled and said, "Is it an accident?" bdshare();
