Although he didn't understand what kind of medicine Liu Zhirou was selling in the gourd, Chang Siguo still followed the order. He asked a nearby soldier to tie some long ropes, which were about forty feet long, and tied one end tightly to the remaining wooden stakes that originally tied the tent. superior.
After giving some instructions to the guards, he took the rope, jumped down into the pit, stepped lightly on the mud and jumped to the stone tower that was still smoking.
Kicking open the closed iron door, a mixture of unpleasant burnt stench hit your nostrils.
Chang Siguo held his breath and scanned the upper and lower floors of the stone tower. There were dozens of crouched corpses inside, three wooden benches were still crackling and burning tenaciously, and there were many charred corpses stacked in one corner.
"Sight" discovered through the gap that under the pile of corpses, there was a stone door that had been struck and hacked with weapons, leaving traces of it.
Through the slight gap on the edge of the stone door, I saw a small stone room under the stone door. A large hole was opened to the north. It was the place where the Beirong cultivators escaped. There was no one inside.
Chang Siguo didn't find any living things in the stone tower, so he tied the rope tightly to the iron window bars, stepped on the rope swinging up and down, and returned to the hanging slope with his black sleeves fluttering.
"It's very bad inside the tower. Brother Liu, you must go in and take a look."
"Hey, I said Brother Chang, you deliberately didn't clean out the disgusting things in the tower."
Liu Zhirou took out a brocade handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose, indicating that she must go, and complained in a low voice.
He saw that Chang Siguo only walked two steps at the entrance of the tower, and then came back without doing anything.
I have never seen such a perfunctory nobleman.
Chang Siguo chuckled, he did it on purpose, he couldn't see the way this guy was pretending to be coquettish.
It's amazing to have a smart brain.
He stretched out his right arm to hold Liu Zhirou, who insisted on going to the stone tower without changing his original intention, jumped onto the dangling rope, and walked forward very carefully. This was his first time using the traceless method to lead people, and he was still walking on a difficult suspended rope.
It is inevitable that the walking will be like walking on thin ice, swaying from side to side.
"Hey, brother Chang, can you do it? Don't fall."
Liu Zhirou was so frightened that her heart lifted up in her throat, and she clutched Chang Siguo's belt tightly.
He thought the black-faced nobleman was joking with him, but the joke was not funny to him at all.
"Talk nonsense." Can a man say no?
Chang Siguo walked five or six feet and quickly adapted to the balance of leading people. He then walked steadily, tapping the rope lightly with his toes, like a dragonfly skimming the water. In just a few breaths, he reached the stone tower and jumped in. He was still holding on to the handle tightly. Liu Zhirou swatted away.
"arrive."
"Oh, oh, so fast."
Liu Zhirou, who believed that there was no danger unless he saw it, opened his eyes and saw a twisted thing baked on the stone slab in a weird shape and dripping with grease. The smell of burnt human flesh filled his nose.
His face turned pale, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with a brocade handkerchief, and looked away.
Although I have fought many battles with the Bei'an Army in suppressing bandits and marching hundreds of miles for reinforcements, and have seen a lot of blood and cruelty, this is the first time I have seen such a tragic situation. It is so disgusting.
Chang Siguo had been observing Liu Zhirou's reaction, and when he saw that this guy was holding back from vomiting, and his expression returned to normal for a moment, he felt a little impressed, so he kicked out the nearby charred corpses and stopped teasing Liu Empress.
Liu Zhirou took a few steps away, trying not to touch other eyesores.
With his left hand in his sleeve, he fiddled with ancient coins and calculated silently. He tried his best to distract the guards of Bailangpo and capture Bailangpo. On the one hand, he made meritorious deeds to show his ability. He also had his own little calculation. .
Now, it was time for him to verify the secrets about the stone tower that he had read in an ancient book of family secrets.
I hope that this blue-black stone tower is old enough and has not been destroyed in the process, nor has the knowledgeable mountain qi practitioners collected the earth spirit fluid that has settled underground in recent years.
For this secret, he traveled throughout the eight states of Nanping in three years and found the remaining six circular double-story ancient stone pagodas.
It's a pity that they are not original. They were destroyed and rebuilt for various reasons during the process, losing the mysterious spirituality of the falling rock below. They spent a lot of money, but they didn't get even a drop of the earth's spiritual liquid.
After calculating for a while, Liu Zhirou looked at the pile of corpses in the corner, and her brows twitched unconsciously.
Chang Siguo stepped forward and swept the charred corpses aside with his feet, clearing the place.
He was a little curious. Liu Zhirou insisted on entering the tower and kept mumbling about what treasure he was looking for.
Liu Zhirou smiled to express his thanks, took out a small bag from his sleeve pocket, took out a white candle and a fire stick inside, and used the fire stick to light the candle. He had prepared it before going out.
Holding a candle in his left hand, he walked to the corner of the darkened stone wall and carefully observed the complex carvings on the stone wall.
After determining the location, press seven times in a certain sequence on the four rough rocks next to the stone pillar.
The round stone pillars silently slid open to both sides like doors, revealing a dark hole.
There was a cold wind coming from inside, causing the candle in Liu Zhirou's hand to sway from side to side.
Chang Siguo never thought that this stone tower was so weird. The stone wall at the gate was only a few feet thick, but there was a secret passage four feet wide hidden in this place including the pillars.
His "sight" penetrated into the secret passage, and he could easily see the whole picture below the secret passage. It was a square stone room two feet in size, without anything, and covered with a thin layer of dust.
A happy look appeared on Liu Zhirou's face. She protected the candlelight with her right hand and raised it to the entrance of the cave for illumination.
Seeing that the stone ladder going down was covered with dust, covering the true color of the blue-black rock, his face became even more happy.
This is an ancient tower that has not been destroyed. It must be that no one has explored the rock crypt here for a long time.
Climbing the narrow stone stairs, he didn't care about getting his precious white fur dirty, and called out, "Brother Chang, come down together. This place has a lot of history. Maybe with luck, we can find something special." thing."
Chang Siguo heard what Liu Zhirou said and followed him without hesitation.
After Liu Zhirou waited for Chang Siguo to calm down, he pressed a few times on the stone wall, and the stone pillars on it closed again. He handed the candle to Chang Siguo, leaned down to the ground, and started to clean the dust with his palms from the middle.
The dust-covered rock surface is engraved with circular insect and bird patterns that extend in all directions.
On the ground near the stone wall on all four sides, there were complex carvings on each side. Liu Zhirou cleaned up all the carvings. He was dirty and didn't care. He used his fingers to trace among the carvings to identify something.
Lying on the ground and groping around for a long time, Liu Zhirou excitedly pointed at a group of patterns and said, "I found it. Brother Chang, next I need to trouble you to pour your true energy into your fingers and follow the order of the runes." Carve and draw to open the secret cave in the rock."
He asked Chang Siguo to squat down and said, "Brother Chang, please don't engrave in the wrong order. I'll demonstrate it twice and you can remember it."
Chang Siguo squatted on the side, holding a candle, watching Liu Zhirou gesticulating with her fingers among the complex patterns. He suddenly felt that the patterns looked familiar. He turned his head over and was stunned for a moment. What was carved on the ground was the traditional Chinese character Kai.
Although there were many useless lines interspersed in the middle that disturbed his vision, he still recognized it as a Chinese character.
Liu Zhirou used her fingers to wipe the dust from the strokes of the word "kai" back and forth, making the word more obvious.
Then he smiled bitterly in his heart calmly. One thing is certain, this place was built by the predecessors who came from the soul of the earth many years ago.
At least, the round stone tower is related to the predecessors from the earth, which is why it left such obvious marks.
At this time, it was not appropriate to get to the root of the matter. Chang Siguo noticed that Liu Zhirou was standing opposite the word "kai". The order of the finger gestures was the correct stroke order of the word "kai". It was really difficult for him. He could remember such a complicated sequence. Still remembering it backwards.
"Remember?"
"good."
Chang Si Guo responded humbly.
Liu Zhirou was a little worried, so she took the candle and said, "Brother Chang, come to my position, don't use your real energy first, and try to see if you can draw accurately. It's not that I can't trust you, Brother Chang. It's really a matter of great importance. Can this mechanism be turned on?" When you are on a business trip, you should not give up halfway, otherwise you will destroy the rare items inside."
He deliberately used the word rare to show his importance.
Chang Siguo did not move. He stretched out his hand to draw on the strokes of the text and said, "I wrote it from this position. There is no need to change the place."
If he were in the position where Liu Zhirou was squatting, he would definitely not be able to remember the reversed stroke order for a while, so why create difficulties for himself when there is no difficulty?
He doesn't want to cause trouble.
Liu Zhirou saw that although Chang Siguo painted slowly, he was very accurate stroke by stroke, and she was worried about letting Chang Si practice it twice to make sure it was perfect. Seeing that Chang Siguo really remembered it, Liu Zhirou said a little nervously
"Brother Chang, please transfer your true energy to your fingers and draw them in the same order. Don't pause in the middle. You must not make any mistakes. Please, please."
Holding a candle in his hand, he bowed with a flattering smile and saluted.
Chang Siguo nodded, this guy was confused now because he was concerned, he was dirty, and he no longer had the charm of a wise counselor.
He transferred his true energy to the index finger of his right hand, positioned his body more directly towards the word "kai", and carved in the order of strokes without haste or slowness. He could feel the bottom of the notch where his finger touched, and a slight suction came out, which made him even more Caution.
When the last stroke was finished, a slight vibration was heard from under the rock.
A rock in the corner retreated silently toward the wall, revealing a hole about a foot large.
Liu Zhirou cheered, quickly came closer and stretched her head to take a look, she couldn't help but excitedly shouted, "Earth Spiritual Liquid!"
Years of hard work are all worth it at this moment.
He is now extremely sure that Chang Siguo is the noble person in his destiny, the kind that is indescribably precious. ,,,
