After working for Chen Mo for such a long time, Leng Zhe had long lost his initial vigilance. He obeyed Mr. Zhao's words and got in without any hesitation. Chen Mo was not idle either and was vigilant. All around to prevent changes.
Behind the heavy stone door is a semi-elliptical space made of thick soil. This place is deep underground. If you don't have an accurate location and don't know the protection mechanism behind the earth wall, you can rely on artificial intelligence. Excavation is simply a fantasy.
The moment Leng Zhe came in, all the luminous pearls around him took effect, illuminating the large space. At a glance, he saw four bronze boxes stacked under the earth wall. They were all open. Looking over, A piece of pearly green, with countless gold and silver treasures!
"Sir, come in, there's no danger!" Leng Zhe's eyes shone when he saw the four bronze boxes, and he eagerly called Chen Mo in to take inventory.
Chen Mo also squeezed in through the crack in the door, and also saw the four bronze boxes. He stared there thoughtfully for a while, thought for a while and said: "Don't touch those treasures directly, use this to wipe them." .”
After that, with a little force, he tore off a long piece of cloth from his white robe and threw it to Leng Zhe.
"Master, you are being too cautious!" Leng Zhe grinned. He felt that Chen Mo was making a fuss, but his hands were not idle. He wiped the silver coins of the first bronze box. The white cloth was only stained with some dust.
Chen Mo hummed. He was no longer a cultivator. Even if he had deep inner strength, if he was accidentally poisoned, it would still be enough for him to drink a pot. There is nothing wrong with being careful: "Wipe it all."
Leng Zhe naturally did as he was told, and wiped the treasures in the second box with a smile. When he wiped the third box, Leng Zhe's face suddenly changed, and he looked as ugly as if he had eaten an ant or fly, and he cursed loudly: "Old Duan is so vicious! He's still doing tricks here!"
Chen Mo heard Leng Zhe's angry voice and stepped forward to check. Sure enough, after wiping the silver with the white cloth, it quickly turned black.
These silver coins are enough for the Nieshui Alliance to do many things, but Chen Mo is a little confused. The key he found on Duan Konghen has not been used yet. Where is the key?
Chen Mo thought for a while: "Leng Zhe, knock on this space to see if there is any hollow place."
He suspected that there was a secret compartment here, otherwise how could Duan Konghen carry a key that he couldn't use?
Chen Mo and Leng Zhe acted together and began to touch and tap on the earthen wall. The two of them did not miss any corner. After half a cup of tea, Chen Mo knocked behind a certain luminous pearl on the earthen wall, and it actually sounded " The sound of "bang bang" is hollow!
Sure enough there is something!
Without thinking much, Chen Mo punched him directly. The soil layer originally used to cover up was instantly collapsed, and a one-foot-square hidden compartment suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. There was a palm-sized sandalwood in it. The box has a tiny spiritual lock hanging on it.
Chen Mo knew that if someone tried to forcefully open the small sandalwood box and was hit by an external object, the remaining spiritual energy in the spiritual lock would blow up the contents of the box. Of course, if a cultivator opened this object, it would not So much trouble.
He did not open it in front of Leng Zhe, but put it in his arms: "Leave here, ask a few reliable people to carry away all these gold and silver jewelry, keep some of them, and use the rest to build a new city. .”
Of course, the silver coins left behind were used by him to purchase the heavenly materials and earthly treasures on the marrow cleaning list.
...
In the evening, Chen Mo returned to No. 477 and took out the small sandalwood box he had found in Nancheng District. After confirming that no one was prying around, he opened the box with the key that broke the empty mark.
"Crack!"
What caught Chen Mo's eyes was an irregular stone the size of a fist, all black. Chen Mo was stunned and took it in his hand curiously. It was cold and no different from the stones that could be seen everywhere outside.
"Is Duan Konghen's brain broken? Is there anything he can do to hide a stone?" Chen Mo was troubled. He really wanted to pull the dead man back from the dead and ask what the reason was.
In fact, this was an unjust accusation. When he discovered the secret passage, he also found this black stone behind the stone door. With the same doubts as Chen Mo, he later built a hidden compartment to separate the It is hidden inside, hoping that one day the mystery can be solved.
But before that day came, Chen Mo killed him.
"Dong dong dong..."
Just when Chen Mo was unwilling to give up and wanted to study further, there was an orderly knock on the door, which forced him to give up first, put away the sandalwood box and stones, and said in a calm voice: "Come in."
A middle-aged man walked in through the door, his back slightly bent. When Chen Mo saw the person, he suddenly frowned: "Uncle Lin?"
He really didn't expect that the other party could actually find this place, but with the other party's skills, there was no problem in not alerting Leng Zhe and the others.
Lin Bo raised his hand to him and said, "Master, please follow me for a while."
Chen Mo said helplessly: "You still want me to go back to Chen Mansion?"
Lin Bo: "Young Master, just come here and you will find out. I promise you won't regret it."
Chen Mo estimated that the heat was almost over. If he continued to push it away, he would lose more than he gained by playing hard to get. After all, he had to rely on other people's strength. He immediately spread his hands and said in a rather reluctant but helpless tone: "Who? What if I am not your opponent? Just lead the way!"
Lin Bo hummed, and the two of them set off from the back door and galloped eastward against the starry sky.
After walking for less than a stick of incense, Chen Mo felt something was wrong. This was not the way to the Chen Mansion at all. Seeing that he was leaving the city, he wondered, had Uncle Lin seen through him and wanted to kill someone and silence him?
Chen Mo followed behind and asked, "Uncle Lin, where are you going?"
"Master, you will know when you arrive."
Uncle Lin's mouth was quite strict, so Chen Mo had no choice but to follow. However, his mind was not idle. He repeatedly deduced the details of his contact with the Chen family to make sure that nothing was missed. With curiosity, he followed Lin Mo. Bo goes forward.
They walked for more than three hours, and it was already late at night. The two of them arrived in a deep mountain forest far away from the county. This place was inaccessible and it was impossible for anyone to come here.
Chen Mo was highly concentrated, and the long sword at his waist was always ready to be unsheathed to seize the opportunity. Even if Lin Bo made a sneak attack, he would have time to react and would not be killed by one move.
Uncle Lin didn't know what Chen Mo was thinking. He led him deep into the dense forest and walked for a while. When Chen Mo took a sniff, there was a faint medicinal scent coming from not far away. The smell was very strange.
"Coming..."
Lin Bo couldn't wait any longer. He grabbed Chen Mo's collar to signal him not to resist. After a few moments, he arrived at a secret house in the forest. Chen Mo landed and pushed the door open with Lin Bo.
In the middle of the room, a huge bronze cauldron was resting on a burning pile of firewood. The heat wave was rolling, and the rich scent of medicine wafted out from the cauldron. Chen Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling refreshed and refreshed with him. The scent of the medicine was exactly the same as before.
Only then did he notice that there were many servants busy in the house deep in the mountains and old forests. No, they couldn't be called servants. Chen Mo could clearly feel it, so he stood next to the cauldron and used a thick wooden stick to stir the things inside. Humanly speaking, the aura of cultivation on his body is more than twice that of Uncle Lin next to him!
And the man who added firewood to the fire had spiritual pressure that was at least the eighth level of Qi refining, the same as Chen Mo's previous state!
This is a group of cultivators! Chen Mo was shocked. How could there be so many monks in this small Chen Mansion?
These people ignored Lin Bo and Chen Mo and were still busy with their own business. Chen Mo walked forward again and took a look at the red piece in the cauldron. It was bottomless but very sticky. He had some guesses in his heart, but he was not sure. , he asked: "Uncle Lin, what exactly are you doing?"
Lin Bo said slowly: "Young Master, this is how I used the power of my family to help you cleanse the marrow of the I Ching. From now on, you will embark on a special path, completely different from ordinary people!"
"call...."
Even though Chen Mo was mentally prepared, he still felt unbelievable when he heard it with his own ears. The first step that he had not completed yet after all his efforts, was so easily accomplished by Chen Mansion?
"Okay." When Chen Mo was in a daze, the man who messed with the things in the cauldron said lightly, and Uncle Lin immediately asked Chen Mo to take off his clothes and enter the cauldron.
With such a God-given opportunity, how could Chen Mo give up, but in front of Lin Bo, he still pretended to think for a while, then turned over and entered the cauldron with a "gudong" sound.
With internal power to protect his body, Chen Mo was not afraid of being cooked. Uncle Lin was watching him from the side, so that he could be rescued in time if there was any danger.
When he first entered, Chen Mo did feel that the inside of the cauldron was unbearably hot, but not long after, he felt that the temperature began to drop. The red sticky substance followed his pores and entered his body continuously, causing He felt extremely comfortable.
"Creak..."
There were constant sounds from the bones in his body. The medicine in the cauldron was changing his physique little by little. The whip wounds and hidden wounds he had suffered in the Lingshi Mine were actually slowly healed by being soaked in the medicinal soup. .
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after he felt such a comfortable feeling, the red substance that had entered Chen Mo's body before was wrapped with impurities and rushed out of the pores again. The feeling as if his whole body was being eaten by thousands of ants came to Chen Mo's mind. , causing him unbearable pain, big beads of sweat secreted from his forehead, and within a few breaths, Chen Mo was sweating like rain.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth and endured this difficult time. When he looked down, one-fifth of the originally red medicinal soup had turned into black.
The refreshing feeling came again, and the red substance entered Chen Mo's body again. The latter smiled bitterly, fearing that he would experience the heartbreaking pain again soon...
The servants turned a blind eye to the scene in front of them, and those who should fill the firewood had to fill it. This scene continued until the next morning. Lin Bo looked at the pot full of black viscous substance and nodded slightly. The same was true after Master Feng finished washing the marrow. Feeling relieved, he said to Chen Mo, who was about to faint, "Master, it's over."
Chen Mo's consciousness was a little blurry, and he could only vaguely hear Uncle Lin calling him, but he really didn't have the strength to respond and continued to remain silent.
Lin Bo smiled bitterly, pulled Chen Mo out of the cauldron, put him into a slightly smaller tank, rinsed him, put him in clothes, and put him on the bed in the hut to rest, while he stayed by the side. , protecting Chen Mo's safety.
