The ancient small seal script is engraved on the edge of the white jade plate. Even though thousands of years have passed, it is still painted with iron hooks and silver, and it is domineering, as if there is an ancient emperor looking down from the end of the years, just looking at it. It's mind-blowing.
Six out of nine?
This means there are nine pills in total?
Is this really the elixir forged by the original emperor Ying Zheng?
Looking at this small line of text, Ye Qingyao and Chu Yi looked at each other and swallowed hard.
"Be careful."
Chu Yi said softly.
Ye Qingyao nodded, stretched out the tool, and gently pinched it towards the white jade plate.
The white jade plate is not close to the location where the cauldron corroded. Even with the help of tools, it is still difficult to add it without destroying the ruins itself.
Ye Qingyao held her breath and carefully stretched out her hand. Sweat gradually appeared on her white forehead, but her outstretched arm was exceptionally stable.
While the two were taking the jade plate, many people looked over.
After all, apart from the alchemy furnace itself which cannot be taken away, the white jade plate holding three elixirs at the center of the furnace is probably one of the most important cultural relics.
Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ye Qingyao slowly picked up the white jade plate.
"Caught!"
Ye Qingyao clenched his jade fingers tightly, holding the white jade plate tightly with tools. Three gray pills rolled back and forth on it, but they never fell.
"Slow down." Chu Yi held her arm and spoke carefully.
Ye Qingyao nodded.
The two of them moved back inch by inch.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qingyao finally took out the white jade plate and held it in his palm.
On the white ancient jade plate, three gray elixirs lay there quietly.
"call!"
Ye Qingyao took a long breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled brightly: "I got it!"
Seeing this scene, many archaeological experts who were worried about it also let out a sigh of relief.
In the following period, many archaeologists came together to study the white jade plate.
"He actually wrote an article! Is this the elixir that was refined more than two thousand years ago?"
"Six out of nine, which means six have been used?"
"Can you analyze the ingredients?"
"It's terrible. Most of them have been carbonized, and the appearance is really ugly."
"Is this really the alchemy furnace built by the First Emperor Ying Zheng when he was still a son?"
"I don't know. It still needs to be verified. We need to find some other evidence."
Looking at the white jade plate, many archaeological experts discussed it carefully, and they were all a little excited. Regardless of whether it was written by Ying Zheng himself, this white jade plate itself can definitely be regarded as a treasure.
In the following period, everyone continued to clean up the cultural relics.
But the cleanup work was still too difficult.
It took many archaeologists three days and three nights to clear out about a quarter of the ruins.
Cleaning up the rest will take a long time.
After a brief discussion, everyone was divided into two teams.
One of the teams continues to clear the excavation here.
The other team brought the cleaned cultural relics back to the museum together with the previously discovered waste elixirs, white jade stone tablets, etc.
The mountains are clear and the water is beautiful, with dew sprinkling on the green branches and leaves.
In the mountains of ancient Xianyang, more than 20 archaeologists were carefully carrying the wrapped relics and walking out of the jungle under the protection of ten special police officers.
Ye Qingyao was also among them. In her backpack were a white jade plate and three black elixirs, all placed in a box filled with soft weeds.
Under the protection of the SWAT team, many archaeologists walked on the road with extreme caution, fearing that something might happen to the relics they were protecting.
The jungle was silent, the sun was shining down, and the surrounding jungle cast large shadows, bringing a slight chill and causing many archaeologists to tighten their clothes.
The breeze was blowing, and I don't know how long this progress lasted. Just when everyone was nervously moving forward...
The SWAT captain walking at the front frowned slightly.
"Is there something wrong...around?" His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and his hands gradually placed on the firearm.
This is a Type 95 assault rifle, a firearm specially applied for in order to protect the safety of the ruins.
"What's wrong, Captain?" A SWAT team member keenly noticed the abnormality, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice.
"Something's wrong," the SWAT captain said in a deep voice, "Did you hear anything?"
"sound?"
The team member was stunned: "No."
The SWAT captain frowned, said nothing, and continued to move forward.
However, not long after they continued walking, everyone noticed something was wrong.
Because there were bursts of rustling sounds in the surrounding jungle.
The sounds were noisy and small, as if something was following them nearby.
Many SWAT team members frowned.
At this time, not only the special police, but also many archaeologists noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Keep going." The SWAT captain said in a deep voice, his hand already on the trigger of the gun.
Everyone nodded and moved on.
However, as they continued to move forward, the rustling around them seemed to get louder.
And not just coming from one direction.
There seemed to be a rustle throughout the jungle.
And the sound was not that of a gentle breeze.
It's like something is stalking nearby.
this moment.
The world seemed to be silent.
Just when the special team leader had sharp eyes, held a gun, and was about to ask the team to stop and carefully check the surroundings...
A sudden change occurred! ! !
'brush! ! '
A dark shadow came from nowhere, fell from the sky, and landed directly on Ye Qingyao's face with a snap!
"ah!!"
Ye Qingyao was so excited that his face suddenly changed due to fright!
But the black shadow didn't hesitate at all. He stretched out his claws and grabbed Ye Qingyao's backpack!
"Watch out!!"
At the critical moment, a SWAT team member roared, ran over directly, and whipped out the black figure with a single stroke of his rifle butt!
“Quack quack!!!”
The black figure screamed, was fluttered away, and fell to the ground.
However, it rolled up, flapped its wings, and seemed to want to continue running towards Ye Qingyao, but was directly stepped on the ground by the SWAT captain!
Looking at the black figure who was half-pressed under the shovel and still struggling, everyone suddenly became a little sluggish!
Because this thing is nothing else.
It was a pitch-black crow the size of a human head! !
Everyone was a little confused when they saw this scene!
This is....
what happened?
A...crow?
Why does it attack people?
However, before everyone could figure it out, the SWAT team leader looked ugly and suddenly yelled!
"Look out!"
"Be alert!"
No one came back to their senses at all, but in the next moment, they felt that the sky had darkened.
They raised their heads and watched subconsciously, but soon their faces suddenly turned pale.
'rustle.....'
In the silent jungle, pairs of green eyes lit up.
Rats, squirrels, hares, red deer, wild boars, roe deer, and badgers gradually emerged from the jungle.
'Plop la la....'
Bird feathers are flying.
In the dark sky, hundreds of magpies, cuckoos and other birds flapped their wings, fell from the sky, and landed on the tips of the branches. Their eyes, the size of mung beans, stared at the group of dozens of people below, in a dark and eerie atmosphere.
'Gudong. '
Ye Qingyao, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and looked at the densely packed animals around him, feeling confused for a while.
How is this going?
How come there are so many animals?
Where do they come from? !
