Chapter 104 Animal Tooth Miniature Carving
"Boy, is there really no treasure here?" Huangfu Kun raised his eyebrows and asked with his eyes wide open.

"If you don't believe it, general, you can go in and look for it. However, I have a word to tell you. There are many traps and murderous intentions everywhere. General, please make your own decision." Li Canghai said seriously.

Looking at those entrances, Huangfu Kun and Liang Xiu looked at each other, and fell into hesitation.

Everywhere in this palace of the underworld is full of strangeness. Although there are secret signs left by Li Canghai along the way, the dangers encountered have not diminished in the slightest.

The two hundred elite soldiers he brought here have already died dozens of people for no reason due to various strange reasons.You must know that you have never paid such a heavy price for exterminating a bandit on weekdays. Why bother to pile up countless bones here, the danger can be imagined.

After hesitating for a while, Huangfu Kun finally decided not to take any more risks. Even though he was a general, it was difficult for him to explain to the court that so many people had died in the prosperous age.

What's more, these people are all brothers who fought with him on the battlefield and licked blood with knives. He didn't want them to die in this ghost place for no reason.

"Forget it, this general came here this time just to repay you for finding the murderer of my son, and not for the treasure. Since the villain has been captured, this general has withdrawn his troops and returned." Huangfu Kun waved his hand in disgust. Wave your hands, the rancid smell here is too strong, it makes people feel nauseous after smelling too much.

"General, wait a moment, I have something to ask." Li Canghai hurried forward and said when he saw him withdraw his troops and leave.

"What's the matter?" Huangfu Kun frowned, thinking that this kid really has a lot to do.

Li Canghai walked up to him, muttered something to him, Huangfu Kun nodded repeatedly, patted his shoulder vigorously, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, this general will deal with it properly."

Li Canghai's shoulder was already seriously injured, and his shoulder blade was almost deformed due to repeated injuries. When he slapped him, the pain caused him to gasp.

Huangfu Kun had a bold personality and didn't notice Li Canghai's expression. He laughed loudly and said, "Boy, I'm going to prepare some good food and wine for you first. When you go out, I will clean up the dust for you!"

With that said, Huangfu Kun led a group of soldiers out of the corpse pit.

Di Qingxiu frowned, and hurried up, seeing the cracked wound on Li Canghai's shoulder, she immediately became annoyed.

"Is he blind? He can't see your serious injury?"

Li Canghai grinned in pain. He took out the medicine bottle he had obtained from Di Hentian from his bosom, and said, "General Huangfu has a straightforward temper, and he didn't do it on purpose. Qing'er, help me clear this Apply the medicine to me."

Di Qing took the porcelain bottle from him, then tore off the cloth strips tied around his shoulders, and several shocking claw marks came into view.

"How did you get such a serious injury!" Di Qing lightly touched the scar with her pale jade fingers, and tears suddenly flowed out.

"Cang Hai...it's all my fault for not protecting you well." Di Qing's eyes were red, her nose was sore, and she burst into tears.

Li Canghai's heart warmed up, he straightened his scarred chest, and comforted him: "You see, I'm alive and well, but I've died once, and I'm so hard-fated that even Lord Hades won't accept me!"

"Miss Di, I have a good gold-chuang medicine here, you can use it for Mr. Li." Xue Xuan, who had been watching the two quietly from the side, had a complicated look in her eyes, and took out a medicine from her sleeve. Porcelain bottle, said softly.

Di Qing heard Li Canghai say that Xue Xuan had saved him many times, and her attitude towards her was no longer the same as the first time they met. She nodded gratefully to Xue Xuan, then took the bottle, and seriously applied the medicine to Li Canghai.

"Now that the matter is clear, let's get out of here quickly. This brocade box is so important, it's better to send it back to the government office as soon as possible." Liang Xiu seemed to be unable to bear the rotten smell here, he waved his hand and said .

Li Canghai pondered for a while, and said, "My lord, I still have some things to do, you guys go back first."

"All the villains have been arrested, what else do you have to do?" Liang Xiu was a little puzzled.

"There are some mysteries that have not been solved, and I must find out the result." Li Canghai said.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Liang Xiu couldn't persuade him anymore, so he said: "In that case, I will leave first. However, this brocade box must be protected!"

Staring at the brocade box for a while, Liang Xiu seemed to want to say something, but then he shook his head and led a group of yamen servants away.

After everyone left, Li Canghai climbed up to the Buddha statue, put the jade turtle button under the Buddhist scriptures, and then twisted it in the opposite direction.

There was only a crackling sound, and the entrances closed one after another.

"Cang Hai, why didn't you tell them the truth about the treasure?" Di Qing helped him apply the medicine, then tore off a piece of the skirt and bandaged him, asking curiously.

Li Canghai weighed the jade tortoise button in his hand, and said deeply: "The real use of these treasures is in troubled times, not today. Besides, this is a secret that Huiguang and Ma Shang guarded together. Ma Shang died because of me. All I can do is fulfill his last wish.”

Di Qing nodded earnestly, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Ma Shang is a good person. He has guarded the Nether Palace all his life. Every plant and tree here should be buried in the world forever."

Di Qing's words made Li Canghai's heart move suddenly. He took out the pottery figurine that Ma Shang gave him from his bosom, thought of what Ma Shang said before he died, and threw the pottery figurine to the ground after a little thought.

The terracotta figurines were directly smashed to pieces, Li Canghai squatted down, pushed aside the fragments of the terracotta figurines, and found a half-finger-long animal tooth inside.

Many traces were densely carved on the animal teeth, and upon closer inspection, he found that all of those traces were words.

Li Canghai's first reaction was that it was a miniature sculpture.

In his previous life, he had visited the micro-carving exhibition and knew that micro-carving can carve a picture on extremely small objects.

This animal tooth is densely covered with words, could it be that all the secrets are on this animal tooth?
Li Canghai pondered for a moment, then hurried outside.

Seeing him looking around, Di Qing and the others couldn't help being a little curious, and followed closely.

Xue Xuan supported He Xiao, and soon followed Li Canghai to a mountain stream with gurgling water. He found a hollow, held a handful of water, and put the animal teeth into it.

"Cang Hai, what are you doing?" Di Qing looked puzzled.

Li Canghai brought the torch closer to him, looked at it carefully by the light of the fire, and said, "There are words on this animal tooth, but it is too small to see clearly. Water can magnify the effect. I want to see what is written on this animal tooth." Write content."

Hearing what he said, Di Qing and Xue Xuan immediately moved closer together, followed by the firelight, and they saw the densely packed characters on the animal teeth.

Those fonts were originally smaller than a sesame seed, but after being enlarged by the water surface, they became about the size of a sesame seed, and the handwriting could barely be read.
