Chapter 231 The truth of the matter

"The marrow powder of the strange fish used...the conditions are really harsh." After learning the information about Wu Ying Miasma, Chen Ziyan thought silently in his heart.

This shadowless miasma is indeed the secret art of the Yellow River water ghost, an ancient inheritance, and it is really not easy for outsiders to decipher it.

In his opinion, this is equivalent to setting up a layer of genetic lock. If the corresponding key cannot be obtained, then no one can take it.

But Chen Ziyan was not too worried about this. He felt that this thing should not be the other party's belongings, but more likely something that the ghost tomb originally had, so even if the other party had marrow powder, there would never be too many of them. The invisible space limits the performance of Shadowless Miasma.

And if he guessed correctly, the passage that trapped them earlier, or more precisely the weird wall that sealed the portal, should also be the product of the condensed formless miasma.

This means that there may be more than one place to place the marrow powder, and they are also likely to get it. At that time, the opponent's reliance will be useless.

But what puzzled Chen Ziyan was why they were able to pass through the barrier smoothly from that end, and it was this that made him not 100% sure that the opponent's reliance was Shadowless Miasma.

After all, according to the records in the inheritance, without marrow powder, they couldn't pass through the shadowless miasma.

Regarding what happened to him, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of two possibilities. One was that the records in the Xiling inheritance were wrong and did not conform to the actual situation, and the other was that the shadowless miasma they encountered was a mutant.

Considering the reliability of Xiling inheritance, Chen Ziyan felt that the probability of the second possibility was higher.

Of course, the possibility of a connection between the two cannot be ruled out.

After all, all guesses may be the correct answer before the exact answer is obtained.

While Chen Ziyan was thinking about this, the team had successfully completed the rest of the journey and arrived in front of the tomb that Wang Kaixuan had mentioned earlier.

The rest of the journey did not encounter any waves, and that strange disappearance never appeared again.

"Master Chen, we've arrived." Standing in front of the door of the tomb, Wang Kaixuan turned his head and said to Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan glanced at the prisoner in front of him, then nodded to him: "Go, let's go in."

He felt that if he wanted to figure everything out, he had to start with the remaining prisoners.

If he guessed correctly, the remaining captives should cooperate with him very well, because they are likely to have become abandoned children now.

If the opponent really used Shadowless Miasma to do all this, it would be even more difficult to find suitable opportunities in the future if he didn't continue to do it on the way.

Considering his guess, Chen Ziyan felt that it was possible that there were not many marrow fans, so the other party decisively gave up the remaining people.

After all, they may not be together in the first place, so it is normal to give up at this time.

After entering this tomb, the first thing Chen Ziyan saw was the murals all over the wall. It was just like what Wang Kaixuan said, even more exaggerated than his description.

But he just glanced at it briefly, and temporarily put the mural aside.

Others in the team can also decipher the content of the mural, so he can do other things now, such as trying to disintegrate the enemy from the inside.

Chen Ziyan felt that these people were also smart people, probably not only because he had guessed that the rest of these people had been regarded as outcasts, but also these people themselves should have a premonition, and this was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of it.

After making a decision in his mind, Chen Ziyan began to assign tasks: "Old Hu, go and see the murals and check the condition of the tomb. Fatty and Wushuang will follow me."

Everyone was quite satisfied with Chen Ziyan's assignment, and it could be considered that each of them performed their duties.

Wushuanggui and Wang Kaixuan are of no help in deciphering the murals. It's better to talk to the captives with him. At least that stop can also serve as a deterrent.

As for Hu Bayi and the others who were able to decipher the murals, they naturally wanted to do their essential work well.

With the second general Heng Ha behind him, Chen Ziyan walked up to the captives by the wall. After scanning the only seven captives, he asked slowly, "Everyone, how about we chat?"

After the seven people heard Chen Ziyan's words, they looked at each other, and finally the eyes of six of them fell on a middle-aged man standing in the center.

Obviously, among the seven of them, this person must be the most prestigious one.

Most likely, it was still the heads of the other six people.

When Chen Ziyan saw this middle-aged man, he immediately recognized him as the one who had tested them in the Underworld.

The moment he saw this person clearly, Chen Ziyan confirmed his guess even more. This guy is definitely the leader of these people.

But this is a good thing for him, because it means that the other party has a certain ability to judge himself and will be more aware of his situation at this time.

The middle-aged man didn't look at his subordinates anymore, but looked at the Wushuang ghost standing behind Chen Ziyan with a jealous look, then looked at Chen Ziyan in front of him, and asked neither humble nor overbearing: "I don't know this boss Want to talk about something?"

Chen Ziyan did not directly ask out the doubts in his heart, but looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "I think there should be a prerequisite for chatting, that is, let's get to know each other first, and I don't need to introduce myself. Come to my Everyone knows the information, but what is the name of this gentleman?"

It is said that adversity can tell the truth, but sometimes special circumstances can also reveal a bit of human nature. Chen Ziyan felt that the middle-aged man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.

So I want to use this to pressure him, so that I can better grasp the rhythm of the conversation.

The middle-aged man showed a wry smile when he heard the words, and said, "My surname is Shen, and the single name is Rong. Because I mainly deal in porcelain, people in Taoism call me Porcelain Rong."

Shen Rong understood Chen Ziyan's intentions, but he had to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to honestly say his name.

Chen Ziyan nodded slightly, and asked, "I think Boss Shen is a smart person. Regarding the current situation, I don't think I need to say anything more."

Shen Rong was silent for a moment, then sighed in a subtle way: "I understand, if you have any questions about Master Chen, just tell me, and I promise to tell you the truth."

He didn't put forward any conditions, but asked Chen Ziyan to ask directly.

It's not that Shen Rong doesn't want to bargain with Chen Ziyan, but that he knows that he no longer has the capital.

The essence of bargaining is a transaction, and the basis of the transaction is the bargaining chip, but now they can be said to be fish on the stick, and there is no bargaining chip that can be offered.

If he could fight for the secret of disappearance before, but now those people have obviously abandoned them, so this secret has become their reminder instead.

What's more important is that their status is not equal. Chen Ziyan and others can take everything from them at any time, including the most precious life. This is the core issue.

And they couldn't even resist at the very least. Previously, when they were full of energy and armed with weapons, Wushuang Ghost was able to capture more than a dozen of them by himself, not to mention that the other party had so many people now.

If Chen Ziyan really wanted to do something to them, then they could only be lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Who is not afraid in the face of life and death, maybe there are heroes in the world who are willing to face death, but this definitely does not include Shen Rong and his buddies.

So he chose to fully cooperate with this path, in exchange for a chance of survival.

Yes, a chance, because he wasn't sure whether Chen Ziyan would give him a way out.

But still the same sentence, he and the guys under him had no choice at this time.

This can be seen from the fact that none of the buddies beside him objected, and they should also think the same way.

Chen Ziyan was very satisfied with Shen Rong's understanding of current affairs, and after a while, he started to get down to business, and asked, "Boss Shen, please tell me, what happened to the so-called mysterious disappearance?"

This is what Chen Ziyan is most concerned about at the moment, because only by understanding this, can he deduce the next move of those who disappeared.

And he also wanted to know if the opponent's reliance was the shadowless miasma he had learned from the inheritance.

If it was really Shadowless Miasma, as long as the other party was still nearby, he might have a way to roughly determine the other party's location.

In this way, even if it cannot be cracked, effective prevention can be made.

After all, that group of people is really hiding nearby, which is also a big hidden danger for them.

Although their strengths are not bad, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. People will always relax when they are caught.

Moreover, Chen Ziyan noticed that after deciding to explain everything, no matter whether it was Shen Rong in front of him or the silent guys beside him, they all secretly raised a bit of vigilance, obviously guarding against something.

This undoubtedly confirmed his guess from the side, those who disappeared were probably wandering nearby.

Facing Chen Ziyan's question, Shen Rong organized his words before replying: "The reason why people can disappear suddenly is because we found something in the tomb in front, so we were able to do this."

"Something?" Before Chen Ziyan replied, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help asking: "What is it, why don't I know?"

This answer was beyond his expectations. Wang Kaixuan never thought that these prisoners would cut off their beards right under his nose.

Shen Rong glanced at Wang Kaixuan, and said an answer that shocked him even more: "Because you fell into a coma at that time, so you didn't know anything about it."

These words almost made Wang Kaixuan jump up, and asked in disbelief: "What the hell? You said I fell into a coma? Why don't I have any impression?"

"You can remember it well." After Shen Rong said this, he ignored the jumping Wang Kaixuan, looked at Chen Ziyan and continued: "That is the first tomb we arrived after we realized something was wrong. Two found something inside, it was an object that could hide the body, even the sound and light can be isolated, and it was with this kind of thing that they could pretend to disappear out of thin air."

Chen Ziyan asked: "Can you describe the appearance or characteristics of this object in detail?"

He felt that the answer was close at hand, and there was an 80.00% possibility that it was the Shadowless Miasma recorded in his inheritance.

Shen Rong shook his head lightly: "I haven't seen the specific appearance, that thing looks invisible from the outside, but judging from what Ma Laoer said at the time, that thing should be a square cover, Able to accommodate all of us.”

From Shen Rong's words, it is not difficult to hear that the person who discovered and obtained the object at that time was wary of Shen Rong.

It is estimated that Shen Rong also agreed to the cooperation between them in a forced and helpless state.

But no matter what, this can be regarded as a preliminary verification of Chen Ziyan's guess.

But at this time, after thinking hard for a while, Wang Kaixuan still couldn't remember the unconscious Wang Kaixuan, and asked unwillingly: "Why do I feel that you are fooling me? I clearly remember all the experiences along the way. If it is really like You were in a coma like you said, so it’s impossible to remember so clearly.”

"You were indeed in a coma, but it wasn't the kind of unconscious coma, but in a state of half-awake confusion. At that time, you subconsciously ignored the external situation, which is why you didn't notice it."

After Shen Rong finished speaking, he turned his body sideways, and with the fingers tied upside down behind his back, he lightly hooked the rope that bound him.

I saw that with his touch, the rope that seemed to bind him tightly fell off lightly.

Then Shen Rong didn't see any movement, his bound hands were free again, leaving only a rope loop tied around his waist like a belt.

At the same time that Shen Rong made a move, the other six people beside him also made the same move, and they all released the restraint in the same way.

After everyone finished doing this, Shen Rong looked at Wang Kaixuan and said, "This is the evidence."

It was obvious that all of them had long since returned to freedom, but for some reason, they had been pretending to be the same.

After seeing this scene, the corners of Wang Kaixuan's eyes twitched violently, and he frowned and asked, "Then why am I confused... No, I passed out?"

He has now believed Shen Rong's words, because the facts speak louder than words, but he is still at a loss as to how he was tricked.

Especially thinking that in the eyes of this group of people, I was fooled like a fool, and I felt bad all over.

Shen Rong gave the answer decisively, and at the same time expressed his speculation: "You have been drugged by Ma Lao Er, it may be because the time is very short, so you didn't notice the abnormality."

Time is indeed a very important factor. If the time is too long, then Wang Kaixuan will be able to recall some violations now.

Chen Ziyan nodded secretly beside him, which was in line with his previous speculation that there were masters hidden among these people.

Regardless of whether this second horse is good at medicine or got medicine from other places, he can already be regarded as a good hand in terms of this secret way of prescribing medicine.

What's more, the other party also discovered and successfully used the invisible miasma in the tomb, which is something that ordinary people cannot do.

Hearing what Shen Rong added, Wang Kaixuan didn't know whether he should be happy or unhappy, these words made him feel very complicated.
