Chapter 245

The way back was peaceful. Although it was different from when they came, Chen Ziyan and the others could feel that they were constantly rising.

Now what they are walking is not a robbery cave, but an underground passage similar to the previous one.

It wasn't that Chen Ziyan and the others didn't want to go back the same way, but that they couldn't find the original way. After coming out of the secret passage, the underground passage appeared in front of them, so they had no choice but to leave through it.

And just when he came to a fork in the road, Ding Sitian suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

While speaking, her nostrils fluttered slightly, as if she was catching certain smells in the air.

When the others saw this, they knew that Ding Sitian had discovered something, and they all stopped and looked at her, quietly waiting for the answer.

After careful identification for a few minutes, Ding Sitian said to the others: "Follow me."

She noticed something special through some subtle smells in the air.

Looking at Ding Sitian who was leading the way, Chen Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he probably knew what attracted Ding Sitian.

It's just that there were too many changes encountered, so Chen Ziyan was not completely sure, he could only say that he had some guesses.

If he hadn't guessed, this thing might be Wen Xiangyu that appeared in the original plot.

After walking not far, a hole appeared in front of them, and everyone else could smell it.

Standing in front of the cave entrance, Wang Kaixuan sniffed fiercely, and said strangely: "Oh, what kind of smell is this? Why is it so fragrant? It's just like chocolate."

Hu Ba instinctively wanted to stop him, but thinking of Ding Sitian's actions before, he didn't say anything, and sniffed and sniffed: "Don't say it, it's really interesting, but where is the chocolate here? "

Hu Bayi instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it. After all, this place is underground at an unknown depth, so no matter how you think about it, there shouldn't be chocolate.

Then he looked at Ding Sitian who was the first to notice the abnormality, and asked, "Sitian, do you know something?"

He has already seen how sensitive Ding Sitian's sense of smell is, plus she did not take any precautions, so Hu Bayi has reason to believe that Ding Sitian already has the answer in her heart.

The fact did not go beyond Hu Bayi's expectations, Ding Sitian nodded lightly, and said: "I roughly know what the smell is, but this kind of thing is too rare, and I have never seen the real thing, so I still have it." Not entirely sure."

Wen Xiangyu is too rare, and Ding Sitian has read some records in the classics, but has never seen the real thing.

Now it is just a little guess based on the characteristics of this smell, so the answer is a bit ambiguous.

"What exactly is it?" Hu Bayi obviously wanted to know more, so he asked.

Hearing his question, Ding Sitian gave the answer she guessed: "If it's correct, it should be Wen Xiangyu."

"Wenxiangyu?" Hu Bayi thought for a while, and asked, "But the rumored royal treasure?"

He didn't know much about Wen Xiangyu, and the label that impressed him the most was the four words 'Royal Secret Treasure', but these four words alone were enough, and there was no need to say more.

"What the hell is this scented jade? Why does it smell so sweet? It's really sweet and greasy, just like that creamy chocolate." Wang Kaixuan had never heard of this word, so he didn't know what it meant. The taste is getting more and more attractive, and the saliva in the mouth is secreting rapidly.

On the contrary, Shirley Yang didn't participate in it, but frowned. At first, she was paying attention to the conversation, but soon realized something was wrong.

Because Shirley Yang discovered that since the sweet smell became more and more intense, her body has also undergone some changes.

After staying underground for so long, it is inevitable to feel a little tired, but after smelling the fragrance for a while, the tiredness of the body disappeared out of thin air.

And the whole person became energetic, it can be said that the muscles and bones of the whole body are crisp, and the limbs are smooth and comfortable.

This phenomenon is very abnormal, and it must be known that there is no good thing in the world.

So the more comfortable she felt, the more uneasy Shirley Yang felt.

Uneasy in her heart, she touched Chen Ziyan quietly and said, "Mr. Chen, is it really all right?"

Among the people present, Shirley Yang trusted Chen Ziyan the most, so he was the first one to think of at this moment.

Although Chen Ziyan didn't know what Shirley Yang was thinking, but seeing her worried face, he could somewhat guess the reason, so he explained to her in a low voice:

"Don't worry, Wenxiangyu is not an evil thing. This object is also called Jinxiangyu. It is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth. People often say that the golden fragrance jade is blind to the eyes, and it is this kind of thing."

Although Chen Ziyan's voice was low, in such an environment, other people could hear him clearly.

After hearing what he said, Ding Sitian went on to say: "This object was first seen in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it was mostly collected by the royal family. It is said that this fragrant jade has unique properties and infinite uses. The more it is in a dry environment, its fragrance will be stronger. The richer it is, someone once wrote an article to praise this thing: the world has never heard of flowers explaining the language, but now we see the fragrance of jade; the creation of the heavenly palace is inconceivable, so wonderful that it is infinitely more detailed."

"No one can say exactly what the magical effect is, but one thing is certain, the outer skin of this scented jade is an extremely precious medicinal material."

When Wang Kaixuan heard these words, he quickly asked: "Then Xiaoding, is this Wenxiangyu very valuable?"

Ding Sitian didn't need to answer, Hu Bayi helped to give the answer: "It goes without saying that the price of this thing is not to say that it exceeds gold, but it is definitely about the same."

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and find it!" I don't know if it was caused by the smell of Xiangyu, or because the price aroused his interest, Wang Kaixuan immediately regained his spirits, muttering, he walked forward go.

The others didn't stop him, and followed him into the cave.

When I walked in, I found that the cave was very narrow, with a height of only two meters and a width of only three or four meters. The cave was full of strangely shaped rocks, all winding like old trees with twisted roots.

Wang Kaixuan, who walked in first, was bending over there, sniffing vigorously with his nose, trying to find out where Wen Xiangyu was.

It may be the reason for the strong smell here, or it may be that Wang Kaixuan has a really good nose. After wandering around like this for two times, he really found out where it is.

Chen Ziyan and the others were still observing the situation in the cave when they heard Wang Kaixuan pointing to a rock in the depths of the cave and saying, "That's it, the smell comes from here."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and wiped the edge of his mouth a few times, looking salivating.

Chen Ziyan and the others walked over, looked at the rock that Wang Kaixuan was pointing at, and found that it was a large boulder like a tree trunk, with a brownish-yellow appearance. Transparent, the surface of the stone is covered with broken and scattered patterns. When illuminated by the light, it seems to be able to see the texture of the stone flowing, especially the exposed parts are more coagulated and transparent.

And that refreshing aroma is emitted from this stone.

Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva involuntarily, couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch it, then put his finger next to his nose, turned around and said, "It's really delicious! Do you think this thing can be eaten?"

Hu Bayi shook his head and said, "This is probably a fossil of a tree trunk, so it must not be eaten."

He dug a lot of pits in Kunlun Mountain back then, and various types of rocks were not uncommon, but he had never seen any that were edible.

"But Xiao Ding just said that the skin of this thing is medicine, why can't it be eaten?" Wang Kaixuan asked with some puzzlement when he thought of Ding Sitian's words.

"This..." Hu Bayi was at a loss for words when he asked, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It stands to reason that stones are indeed inedible, but they are also used as medicine, which makes him a little confused about the joints here.

Chen Ziyan said helplessly: "Fatty, don't you just confuse concepts, are being able to be used as medicine and being able to eat the same thing?"

A fan of the authorities, he, a bystander, could hear clearly and knew that Hu Bayi had fallen into a small logical trap, so he spoke out to give him a hand.

Afterwards, Chen Ziyan continued: "Besides, if you eat it, what will you sell it for when you go back?"

When it came to selling money, Wang Kaixuan immediately forgot whether he could eat it or not: "That's true, it's more practical to sell it for money. If you have money, you can eat whatever you want."

Chen Ziyan nodded, looked at the rock wrapped with Wenxiangyu, and said: "Looking at the appearance of this rock, there are no artificial traces. It seems to be formed naturally, which means it has no owner. Since we are destined to meet If it arrives, then simply carry it back.”

Wang Kaixuan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately bent down and hugged Wen Xiangyu in his arms: "That's it!"

When Hu Bayi saw this, he wanted to take over the wooden box behind him. I don't know how far the rest of the road is, so Wang Kaixuan can't just hold this stone and carry a heavy wooden box. .

This time, Wang Kaixuan didn't shirk it. He also knew that carrying these two things at the same time would consume too much energy on him.

But Ding Sitian said at this time: "You can't hug like this, the scent has to be covered, at least you have to find something to hug."

Through the observation just now, she found that the aroma of this scented jade is a bit weird, if she just brought it up so undisguisedly, she might cause some trouble.

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately took out a sealed bag from his bag and put the rock in it.

Then he took off his coat and wrapped another layer around it.

This sealed bag was prepared by him for the artifact in the tomb, but he didn't expect to use it here.

After dealing with the scented jade, several people withdrew from the hole and continued along the road just now.

Walking in the underground passage like this, after walking for about an hour, Chen Ziyan found another opening in front of him.

Walking over quickly to look, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment welling up in my heart, and there was a familiar vast space in front of me.

Unknowingly, they walked to the cave they had discovered before.

Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan laughed immediately: "It's safe this time."

When they got here, they only needed to follow the route in memory, and they would naturally be able to get out of the underground.

This discovery lifted everyone's spirits, and they had no intention of resting here, so they immediately rushed towards the exit along the underground passage they had opened up.

The rest of the road was smooth and smooth, and they successfully returned to the ground without encountering any obstacles.

"Back! The leaders are back!"

Just as Chen Ziyan and the others showed their heads, they heard an exclamation from above their heads.

This made several people look at each other in blank dismay, a little confused.

And when they returned to the camp, they happened to meet Captain Lin who came in a hurry.

Seeing the figures of Chen Ziyan and others, especially the nominal commander Ding Sitian, Captain Lin was unabashedly relieved.

His actions made several people puzzled, Ding Sitian asked: "Captain Lin, what happened?"

"You'll be fine when you come back." Captain Lin's tone was full of emotion, and then he said with some complaints: "I'm talking about the leaders, why did you come back after going down for so long?"

But he was so worried that if Chen Ziyan and the others didn't come back today, Captain Lin planned to report the situation here and apply to take someone underground for rescue.

Chen Ziyan sensed something was wrong and asked, "Captain Lin, how long have we been away?"

Although captain Lin was a little puzzled as to why he asked such a question, he still replied, "It's been almost three days."

After hearing this answer, Chen Ziyan finally understood why Captain Lin behaved like this.

But what he couldn't understand was that they didn't make it to one day, so how could it be three days?
Wang Kaixuan asked directly: 'What?three days? '

Captain Lin nodded: "That's right, it's not long before three days."

Seeing that Captain Lin's expression did not seem to be fake, he looked at Hu Bayi in disbelief: "Old Hu, are we really going to stay down there for so long?"

Wang Kaixuan was also a little uncertain, after all, he was in a trance for a while.

Hu Bayi pondered for a while, and said: "It seems to be, but I don't remember that long."

Xue Liyang said at this time: "It should be the ghost tomb."

Her thoughts were not disturbed by this, so she quickly grasped the point.

If there is something wrong, it is most likely to be the ghost tomb as a supernatural product.

As for the temple in the back, only Chen Ziyan had the situation at that time, and the others remained rational from the beginning to the end.

"Could it be that the time in the Ghost Tomb is out of order?" Chen Ziyan pondered.

He suspects that the ghost tomb not only has the attribute of space, but also that some time changes have occurred over the long years, such as the fact that the time flow rate is different from that of the outside world.

Although it is strange to say so, it is not too special compared to other things below.

But this is not the time to talk about these things, so Chen Ziyan decisively cut off his thoughts and said, "We'll talk about this later, Captain Lin, I wonder if anyone else will come out before we come out?"

He thought of Shen Rong and others, that's why he asked such a question.

Faced with Chen Ziyan's question, Captain Lin shook his head: "No one came out, and we have been monitoring the surrounding area."

"That's it." Chen Ziyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In this way, Shen Rong and those people should have left here through other methods.

Such a result is not surprising, after all, he is a veteran who has been around for many years, and he should have his own way to avoid people's eyes and ears.
