"Xiao Hua, Senior Hua, don't sleep...don't sleep..."
"You must have a solution, right?"
"You have taken the elixir and become immortal..."
I put one hand on Xiaohua's pulse and held Xiaohua's body with the other.
Li Dabao and Dashan were on guard in the distance, while Li Dabao was squatting on the other side of Xiaohua.
Xiaohua seemed to have a little trouble talking at this time.
As long as he opens his mouth, a lot of blood will flow out of his mouth and nose.
I knew that all the bones in Xiaohua's body had been shattered by the giant python.
And all those broken bones were inserted into the internal organs of the body.
At this time, she was still conscious and could even breathe. This was entirely because Xiaohua had taken the elixir.
Xiaohua smiled, her face covered with blood, she wanted to raise her head but couldn't find the strength.
I dragged Xiaohua's head, dragged her to me, and then whispered something.
When I finally let her down, Xiaohua had already died.
But she died smiling, with a look of relief in her eyes.
I don't know how to describe my mood at this moment.
I don’t even know if I should be angry?
But at least I can understand how the other mummies in the hall appeared.
I held Xiaohua's body and looked at it for a long time.
"Nine days, what did Xiaohua say?"
I glanced at Li Dabao and finally shook my head.
Then he said: "Burn Xiaohua's body."
But Li Dabao grabbed my hand and asked, "Why, you still can't trust me?"
I explained: "Xiaohua said it, but I didn't hear it. Can I lie to you?"
Li Dabao looked at me in disbelief.
Without any evasion, I looked directly at Li Dabao and said, "Dabao, you don't even have this little trust, do you?"
Hearing this, Li Dabao chuckled and said, "How is that possible? Master Bao is not that kind of person."
"I'm just afraid, what did Xiaohua say to you? You take the risk yourself..."
Li Dabao’s words made my heart warm.
Because of his unintentional words, he had already guessed what Xiaohua was talking about.
It is true that some things can only be done by one person, so I lied to Li Dabao.
I heard what Xiaohua said and remembered it.
But I, Chen Xu, will never let anyone take risks for me again.
We put Xiaohua's body into one of the largest alchemy furnaces and burned it.
The so-called immortality will also die in the face of this situation.
As for the other corpses on the ground, they were all gathered together, piled randomly in the hall, and burned.
The light from the flares was gradually extinguished, leaving only the crackling sound of burning corpses.
Li Dabao searched for a while and found nothing worth taking away. He was so angry that he stamped his feet.
Dashan was checking his backpack. He was running out of ammunition. No one knew what would happen next.
I took a deep breath and said, "Xiaohua said before that the ghost boy's final goal must be Shennong Palace."
"The ghost boy just went crazy and sucked the life out of Xiao Hua. He was able to suck all the vitality out of Xiao Hua's body. This is as weird as the power-absorbing technique in martial arts."
Li Dabao sighed: "Didn't Xiaohua say that this ghost boy wouldn't take the initiative to hurt others?"
I carried my backpack and walked toward the steps above.
While answering: "To be precise, is Xiaohua an ordinary person?"
"Have you forgotten how he designed us and how he designed Gu Zangfeng?"
Even the mountains understood.
"What Xiao Wuye means is that the elixir-like fragrance on Senior Hua's body can be hidden as much as possible when faced with ordinary poisonous insects."
"But it doesn't seem to have any effect on other than the ghost boy who became a spirit, or the giant python...!"
I nodded and said yes, and then asked Li Dabao to fire a flare toward the dome ahead.
The flare finally got stuck on a stone strip.
It casts a lot of shadows, but the brightness is like turning on a giant light bulb.
I counted the entire steps, and they turned out to be more than 900. The place below us just now is the side hall, which can also be said to be the front hall.
Then there is also a palace in the center with three coffins, all connected by chains.
But all three coffins were empty, and all the valuable funerary objects around them were gone.
Continuing upward, you can occasionally see a few lifeless mummies.
Either it was caused by that giant python, or there was more than one ghost boy here.
Among us, Dashan thought the horse was following the lead.
Gesang remained silent, always thinking about Uncle Yan's life and death.
In addition, Li Dabao has the fastest change in mentality.
Xiaohua's death didn't seem to bring him any substantial trauma.
All kinds of teasing has started.
But ridicule is nothing but ridicule, Li Dabao has already started preparing explosives.
He wound the detonators together one by one and stuck another grenade on top.
At that time, as long as the grenade is pulled out and thrown into the mouth of the giant python, or the ghost boy catches it, everyone will die.
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
When a few of us walked up the stairs to the square of the real main hall, only Gesang could still stand.
Everyone sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
The giant python was gone, but that didn't matter.
Because on the square, in addition to the broken statues and pillars reaching the sky, there were large tracts of blood on the ground, all of which were fresh.
The bloodstains extended all the way to the main gate of the main hall.
The scale of the main hall is not small, it can even rival Wudang Mountain in reality.
Everyone simply rested for a moment and then began to walk towards the interior of the main hall.
Because there are no holes blown out around us, including above our heads.
This means that all of them came in from where we just came in.
As for the other direction, it should be the location of the main gate.
Standing outside the main hall, no one was in a hurry to enter. Instead, they fired a flare toward the inside from a distance.
This should be our last minute flare.
I didn't bring much with me when I came in this time, mainly because no one expected such a thing to happen.
Although the bodies were dead, the backpacks they carried had been taken away by others.
The flare exploded in the middle of the hall.
I don't know where it fell.
With the flare as the center, a divergent halo of light appeared in the entire hall.
Everyone waited for a while, and then walked in cautiously.
A statue should normally be placed in the center of the hall.
But not here.
In the very center is a very tall platform.
There is a four-cornered bronze tripod with two ears on the high platform.
The size of the bronze tripod is even larger than what we see in the museum.
Li Dabao even exclaimed: "Such a big cauldron, is it far greater than the Simuwu cauldron?"
"If this is done, it will make the country extremely rich."
I replied softly: "If we get out of here, everyone who is related to us by blood will probably go to jail, right?"
Li Dabao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Look what you said, let's get it out and hand it over to the country as soon as possible. What is this called..."
"right……"
"This is called rescue excavation!"
Dashan followed: "Master Bao, you...this reason is very good."
"What does it mean to be good? It can be said to be a brilliant idea..."
With that said, Li Dabao actually climbed up, wanting to see if he could shake the cauldron.
But this is obviously a pipe dream.
This cauldron weighs at least ten thousand kilograms. Even if a small crane comes over, it may not be able to take it away.
Moreover, such a horrifying thing can only sleep here forever.
But what I care about most is not the large cauldron engraved with inscriptions.
As well as huge elixir furnaces placed on both sides.
But the colorful murals on the four walls have never been oxidized even today.
No one has destroyed these colorful murals on a large scale, although they occasionally peel off.
But you can clearly understand the detailed content on the mural.
It is precisely because of these murals that I gradually unraveled what the so-called mystery of immortality means...!
