Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1551 Medicine Man
  On the other side, Shao Yu carefully said nice words to appease Shi Lan and said:
  "Don't worry too much, Shi Lan. Your brother may have seen some critical situation and had no choice but to leave first."

"Let's keep looking and see if he left any other information."

Tianming, who was pulling the drawer hard over there, did not forget to interject, "Yes, we also need to look for Qiantaki, she is probably also on the boat."

Shi Lan heard this and replied, "If I can find my brother, he will definitely know more about the situation on the ship, and our next actions will be easier."

"That's great!" Tianming responded with a thick nasal voice.

Shi Lan made up her mind, turned to her friends and said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave first!"

As soon as she said this, Tianming loosened his grip and fell to the ground due to his unbalanced strength.

After getting up, Tianming simply gave up, thinking that when Yun Zhongjun made the cabinet, he didn't need the drawer and made it solid.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, the door suddenly creaked and opened slowly.

Shao Yu lowered his voice and exclaimed, "No, someone is coming!"

"Hurry and hide!" Shi Lan immediately looked around to find a suitable hiding place.

Tian Ming was startled and couldn't help but take half a step back. His elbow happened to touch the drawer that he couldn't open just now, and he felt a slight push.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting used to it, but Tianming didn’t rush to find a place to hide in. Instead, he reached out and poked the drawer first.

Sure enough, you can push it inward.

It dawned on him.

Yes, just because it can’t be pulled, doesn’t mean it can’t be pushed!

He hurriedly pushed the drawer to the innermost position, and the sound of opening was heard immediately, and the mirage mural at the innermost side began to slowly rise, revealing a dark area behind it.

The three of them didn't know what this hidden room was for, but it was obviously very suitable for them to hide at this time. .

Without any nonsense, the three of them looked at each other and entered the secret room in unison.

When the outer door was completely opened, the mirage mural inside also fell down again, and the medicine cabinet with many drawers opened was also reset at this time, making it look as if no outsider had ever been here.

Yun Zhongjun walked slowly in from outside the gate, his eyes glanced around playfully, and his eyes paused on the mural.

Then he walked slowly to the three-story round platform, glanced over the medicine cabinets on both sides, and then continued walking in, stopping in front of the mural.

In front of the wall is a couch for resting, with a special large lampstand on each side of the couch.

I saw Yun Zhongjun raise his right hand, and the invisible inner force stretched out, urging the two lampstands to glow. Then, purple mist began to emit from the lampstands, and spread towards the direction of the mural, along the gaps. Little by little, it penetrated into the secret room behind the mural.

Yun Zhongjun looked at this scene and showed a satisfied smile.

In the secret room behind the mural, Tianming and the others looked at the scene in front of them and hesitated for a while.

In a gloomy and dark environment, there were scattered transparent glazed water tanks erected. There was some kind of green liquid stored in the water tank, and there were some... things soaked in it. Judging from the shape, they should be people.

There are rectangular wooden boards on the ground. The wooden boards are covered with white cloth. There are also things under the white cloth. Judging from the shape and the arms exposed from the edge of the cloth, they must be human.

There are also large cloth bags hanging on the ceiling, and there are things inside. Judging from the conditions on the ground and in the water tank, they are probably people.

Feeling the undisguised cold and terrifying feeling coming from the front, Tianming couldn't help but shudder and asked tremblingly:

"Here... what is this place? Why... why is it so gloomy?"

"Is this a place for people?"

Shi Lan looked at the mess in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little scared in her heart, and guessed:
  "This is probably where Yun Zhongjun develops and tests the medicine he refined."

Shaoyu added, "I guess the method he used was not very good."

"Experiment..." Tianming repeated the word, as if he felt a deeper malice and fear in his heart.

Shaoyu continued, "Regardless of what is going on here, Yun Zhongjun will probably find that someone has touched the medicine cabinet. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Find a way out quickly."

After saying that, he and Shi Lan took the lead and dispersed to find a way out - this place was dark and dark, with insufficient light, and their sight was limited.

Only Tianming was very scared of this environment where a ghost might appear at any time, so he stumbled forward two steps.

Then he hit the uneven ground with his foot, threw himself onto the street, and fell headfirst to the ground.

Just in time, he fell in front of a wooden board, and when he opened his eyes, his blue and black arms were exposed at the edge of the white cloth.

It looked like a human before, but now that it's close, Tianming is absolutely sure...this is a human!
  But judging from the color of this arm, the person's condition is not normal.

Tianming boldly reached out and poked it, and found that it was cold and hard. He was immediately startled and shouted:
  "Oh my God!"

As soon as Shaoyu Shilan heard Tianming's voice, she quickly turned around and ran over.

"What's wrong Tianming?"

Tianming pointed at the white cloth, stumbling when speaking because of surprise and fear:
  "Human! It's a dead person!"

Shao Yu frowned when he heard this, then reached out and lifted up the white cloth.

Sure enough, there was a human body under the white cloth. There were only some rags covering the body. The arms were covered with wooden wristbands, and the feet had shackles like anklets. The skin all over the body was covered with abnormal green color. It's black, and the strangest thing is that the entire head is covered by a wooden barrel.

At first glance, this is a corpse that cannot die anymore.

Shao Yu frowned and spat, and cursed bitterly:

"asshole!"

"This Lord Yun Zhong is really experimenting on people!"

Tianming was so frightened that he was trembling all over and speechless.

It wasn't that he was afraid of dead people, he had seen a lot of corpses, but the appearance of the dead corpses in front of him was a bit weird and strange, and combined with the gloomy atmosphere of the place, it really made people feel trembling from the bottom of their hearts.

And the area of ​​this secret room is not small. There are hanging corpses on the ground and in the water tank. At a glance, they are all densely packed with these weird green and black corpses.

The total number of these corpses is at least hundreds, which is not a lot at all.

Shi Lan sighed with emotion:

"On the outside, the mirage looks magnificent and like a fairyland, but inside there is this terrifying scene like hell..."

After hearing this, Shao Yu couldn't help but think of the legend about mirages that he and Tian Ming had talked about before.

Legendary monsters like mirages rely on conjuring up gorgeous pavilions and buildings to lure passing ships closer so they can hunt.

"It seems like the name Mirage is really apt!" Shao Yu couldn't help but express his feelings.

Shi Lan glanced at Shao Yu with some confusion, not understanding what he meant.

At this time, Tianming suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and asked uncertainly:

"Look over there, is there a stage?"

Shaoyu Shilan looked in the direction of Tianming's finger and vaguely saw a low dark platform with a body covered by a white cloth seemingly placed on it.

Hmm...it seems that this corpse is the most special here!
  However, Shao Yu was too lazy to think about this problem, "This place is dangerous. There may be some dangerous mechanism hidden there. It's better to find a way out as soon as possible."

Although Yun Zhongjun's human experimentation was very infuriating, they could only condemn it in their hearts at this time. Otherwise... we would talk about it later when we have the opportunity. After saying that, he and Shi Lan immediately dispersed again to look for a way out.

Tianming was still a little trembling in his heart, but he also wanted to leave this hellish place as soon as possible, so he began to fumble tremblingly.

None of the three people noticed that behind them, where they entered, wisps of purple mist slowly penetrated and spread into the secret room.

Shao Yu carefully walked through the corpses and discovered another blind spot that he had not noticed just now:

"These corpses seem to have been specially treated. They are all piled up here, but there is no sign of decay at all. Instead, they still... Why do they still have a faint fragrance?"

At the same time, he also thought of a doubt:
  "But... why are they all piled up in this secret room?"

On the other side, Tianming found a path...well, it looked like a walkway or some kind of track. He walked up and followed it all the way inside, and finally found a square hole.

Although it is unclear what it is used for, the joystick next to it indicates that it must be some kind of mechanism.

When the probe looked down, there was only darkness, and it was impossible to see the bottom.

Seeing the deep darkness, Tianming's heart began to tremble again, and he hurriedly called to his friends:
  "Come here quickly, I found a cave entrance."

It was Shaoyu who responded most positively to his friend. He immediately came over and took a look.

Tianming looked up at Shaoyu and asked, "Where do you think this leads?"

Shaoyu shrugged and replied, "I don't know, but... I don't think it's a good place, maybe more terrifying than here."

"Hey!" Shaoyu's words made Tianming even more frightened.

Shi Lan also came over at this time and said worriedly:
  "Tianming Shaoyu, something seems wrong..."

Shao Yu's nose suddenly twitched when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "The fragrance is getting stronger and stronger!"

Tianming stood up, his body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.

He held his head and shook it hard twice, and said a little dizzy, "No, I...why am I a little dizzy!"

Shi Lan reacted at this time, "No, it's a trap!"

"Hurry and hold your breath, this scent is poisonous!"

Shaoyu and Tianming understood what was said and quickly raised their arms to cover their mouths and noses.

Although I don't know if this is useful, but... at least they tried hard.

At this moment, the gates on both sides of the cave suddenly closed with a clang, and the wall of the entrance where they entered rose again.

Little by little, Yun Zhongjun's figure appeared in the eyes of the three of them.

Walking in unhurriedly, Yun Zhongjun had a sinister smile on his face and praised hypocritically:

"I have to say, it's really unexpected that you guys were able to escape the Yin-Yang Vision and get in here."

"It's a pity. Originally I just wanted to catch him alive, but now you know too much!"

"I can't let you walk out of here!"

Seeing Yun Zhongjun's murderous intention, Shao Yu glanced at the previous cave entrance subconsciously.

Although he felt that the cave entrance was not a good place, there was only one way to escape at this time.

Yun Zhongjun noticed Shao Yu's eyes with vigilance, laughed and said:

"Want to escape? But that passage has been closed. Only I can open it!"

"You guys have no way to escape!"

Hearing this, knowing that there was no way out, Shao Yu did not hesitate and waved his hand, "In that case, we will rush out on the body of a demon like you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianming Shi Lan drew out his weapons at the same time, and Shao Yu also drew out his non-attack, ready to change forms at any time.

Just when the three of them were about to join forces and attack side by side, their movements stopped at the same time.

The three of them felt a sense of powerlessness at the same time, and their minds were drowsy.

"No, I'm even more dizzy!" Tianming supported his head with his hands and said through gritted teeth.

Seeing their performance, Yun Zhongjun immediately laughed proudly and wildly:
  "Ha ha ha ha……"

"A bunch of smart-alecky idiots!"

"The moment you broke into Yunxiao Pavilion without authorization, you have already stepped into my trap to capture prey!"

"Is it that scent?" Shao Yu tried hard to stay awake and asked Yun Zhongjun.

To Shaoyu's surprise, Yun Zhongjun denied:
  "you are wrong."

"The crisp soul fragrance spread in Yunxiao Pavilion is colorless and odorless, and it is impossible to detect it!"

"It can make you feel ecstatic and drowsy at the same time."

"Guess what will happen after you fall asleep?" Yun Zhongjun's smile became more ferocious and his voice became colder.

"What about the fragrance just now?" Shi Lan was a little confused.

Yun Zhongjun turned his gaze to Shi Lan, with scrutiny in his eyes, "Oh, that fragrance is not for you."

Tianming looked at his frustrated look and cursed angrily, "You devil, you killed so many people and put them all here, you are really a pervert!"

"Innocent!" Yun Zhongjun laughed, raised his hands, and responded meaningfully, "Kill? Who said they are dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden Qi like burning flames rose up from Yun Zhongjun's palm, dispersing into the air bit by bit.

As Yun Zhongjun's true energy spread, the 'corpses' lying on the ground suddenly moved.

Tianming was the first to observe this scene, and he jumped in fright. He pointed at the corpse in the form of a pupa under the white cloth and exclaimed:

"Move... move... move!"

"The body is moving!"

Shaoyu Shilan heard the sound and looked over, only to see that the lifeless green and black corpse that had been lying on the ground actually stood up little by little. The posture when he stood up was extremely twisted, as if every bone had its own thoughts. , using the reverse iron bridge method to stiffen it up.

The two hurriedly looked around again, and sure enough, almost all the corpses were getting up.

Shaoyu remembered the elixir that Yun Zhongjun had mentioned before, and he probably understood what was going on:
  "Driving people away is like controlling ghosts... This is a puppet he controlled with the ghost-controlling pill!"

"Humph, you have a bright mind!" Yun Zhongjun replied with a smile, confirming Shao Yu's statement, "But I prefer to call them medicine people."

Shao Yu was not interested in talking nonsense with him, and reminded his companions, "If we delay for a moment longer, the poison will deepen for us. We must break out of the encirclement as soon as possible."

At this time, Shi Lan reached out and patted Tianming and Shaoyu respectively. They both felt a chill coming into their hearts, and their original sense of drowsiness was instantly swept away.

Shi Lan's deliberately lowered voice followed:

“Treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and do it quickly!”
