Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 135 Broken Balm

Canaan jumped directly and lightly from the round door.

"Wait a minute, what if there is poisonous gas below? You should wait for the indoor air to circulate!"

Annand's anxious voice came from the ceiling.

"Didn't you notice that the torches were not extinguished? And that handsome little brother can smell the smell of the tomb from far away. Is it possible that the air is not circulating here?"

While explaining, Canaan picked up the torch he dropped.

Flapping torches illuminate more of the burial space.

The plates, jewelry, chains, and gold bars underneath were emitting a deep yellow.

"The funerary objects in this tomb are all made of gold!" Canaan's surprised voice came from below.

Facts speak louder than words. Seeing that Canaan was still standing there, Annand felt restless.

"Then let's hurry down!"

"Let me build a ladder for you first."

Illya volunteered and called out a long, fragrant vine.On the thick green vines, there are wide five-petal white flowers blooming all over the place.

She grabbed the flower vine and slowly lowered it as it grew.

Ah Hao and Anand also used this vine to set foot on the ground of the tomb.

The air in the tomb is not turbid, but has a slight fragrance.Among the messy funerary objects under his feet, there was still some sand mixed in.As he watched this scene, speculation immediately appeared in his mind.

"Somewhere in this tomb may have been destroyed."

"You mean someone has been here?" Ilya immediately moved closer to Ahao nervously.

"No." "No one came."

Ahao and Anand said at the same time.

"There is no smell of living people other than us here."

"The sand told me that it was the earthquake that partially collapsed the tomb here."

While the three of them were talking, Canaan was busy picking up all the gold plates and gold jewelry on the ground with his hands and feet.

"Too heavy! We probably won't be able to take that many treasures home. Do any of you have room to expand your gear?"

The other three present raised their hands at the same time.

Ah Hao held up his briefcase, Ilya pulled his long dress with his hands, and Anand turned down the straw hat he had been wearing on his head.

At this moment, Ah Hao realized that Anand's hair was extremely thin, and he was probably going bald.

When I first met Anand, the mysterious and handsome image he left in Ahao's heart collapsed.

"Bags are pretty common, hats I can barely understand. So are your dresses?"

Canaan looked at Illya strangely: "Doesn't that mean that you can only wear this dress to go out in the future? The space and items are too restrictive."

"No." Illya responded directly, "Every long dress in my closet is a space item, just change it."

Illya's words made the three of them stop breathing for an instant.

At this moment, the light emitting from Ilya's body seemed to be more dazzling than the gold all over the ground.

"Just put it in my suitcase first, and distribute it after you go out." Ahao took the lead in opening his suitcase on the ground.

"it is good!"

Canaan's words also became less, she silently covered her head and threw all the gold objects on her hands into Ah Hao's box.

Soon, all the scattered objects around their landing point were cleaned up.

While cleaning up, everyone slowly walked deeper into the tomb.

Anand put the hat back on.At this moment he was putting the torch on the wall on the right.

On the walls are extremely colorful murals.A few pictures are briefly and finely depicted.

"This painting should be about the life story of the owner of the tomb." Anand said affirmatively.

"There is a big golden mountain here. It should mean that the owner of the tomb once controlled a gold mine."

"No wonder, I just said it. The gold in this tomb is too much." Canaan suddenly realized.

"This may be the legendary home with a mine."

Listening to Ahao's words, Ilya nodded silently.

The tomb is not long, and everyone soon came to the right corner of the "ten"-shaped tomb.

"It seems that this place has collapsed, and it is impossible to pass here."

Anand, who was walking in the front, said briefly.

He moved away, and everyone could see clearly now.The corridor on the right has been filled with sand.

The thick sand crushed the ceiling there and blocked the inner tomb tightly.

Under the sand, there are many broken earthen jars.

Ah Hao squatted down and picked up a piece of broken tiles. There were some milky white remnants on it, and a familiar fragrance was wafting out.

"It's balm." He quickly confirmed.

"Illya, the scent of flowers that you first smelled should be this one. Smell it."

Yi Liya took the broken tile from Ahao's hand, and nodded affirmatively after smelling it.

"Looking at it this way, things are very clear. This tomb should have become fragile under the washing of years. After an earthquake or some other reason was crushed by sand, the ointment buried in the tomb was broken, and the smell slowly faded away. Dispersed."

Canaan interrupted Illya's analysis:
"Let's discuss this kind of thing later. Since the right side can't get through, we should continue to explore the front first. The point at the top of the cross-shaped structure of this tomb should be the main tomb where the owner of the tomb is buried. The previous passages are full. The earth is gold. What do you think is more precious in the main chamber?"

Canaan's eyes seemed to be filled with reflections of golden treasures.

Ahao nodded: "The smell of the mummy is indeed on our left."

Before getting up, he collected some tiles with balm on them.

Only a little sample is needed, and he can slowly reverse the formula of the balm in the future.

The people left the tomb on the right side that they couldn't pass through, and walked straight ahead.

They soon came to an end.

To everyone's surprise, it was empty, without any coffins or treasures.

In the middle of the room, there is only a cylindrical table with a copper book spread out on it.

"Here, where's the mummy?" Canaan said in surprise.

Ah Hao looked straight at the wall opposite him.

Annand also walked around the pillar and walked to the wall.After stroking up and down, he knocked.

"Behind this wall." Anand said affirmatively: "There is still space behind the wall. The topography of the tomb has already been told to me by the sand. This kind of trick can't be hidden."

"I know I know!"

Illya also raised her hand excitedly, "There should be a puzzle to be solved here, and the wall will only be opened after passing the test."

Then she immediately stepped forward, ready to flip through the books on the table.

"Be careful! Don't touch it." Ahao grabbed Ilya's hand.

Canaan shook his head: "It's such an obvious trap, I was just wondering who would take the bait. I didn't expect there to be one of us."

Ilya's expression was slightly awkward: "A trap?"

"Yeah." Ahao nodded, "This book is too weird. It seems that I want people to read it here. It's very unreasonable."

"The more the owner of the tomb wants you to do it, the more he can't do it. Erak has always had the custom of burials, so there will never be fewer organs for tomb robbers." Anand added on the side.

"That's right, it would be bad if we accidentally hurt those of us who came to 'archaeology'."

There was a smile on the corner of Canaan's mouth, and he said with a teaser.

Ilya took two steps back in fear.

"I'll just keep opening a door on the wall."

Ah Hao repeated his old trick and drew a formation on the wall at the end of the tomb.

Soon, the solid wall was turned into a double door by Ahao.

He cautiously opened the door.

Under the light of the torch, Ah Hao saw a sentence engraved on the floor behind the door.

He subconsciously read it out.

"When you sleep, you wake up; just as you die, you live"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange voice came from behind the door.

"Kakaka."

"Squeak!"

That's the sound of wooden boards rubbing against each other, that's the sound of bones moving!
