Chapter 443 Escape (5)

The pungent paste in the white porcelain vat makes me feel a little weird. In ancient times, alchemists put various things into the alchemy furnace for alchemy, and there were many accidents. The most famous substance developed by alchemy is probably gunpowder.

It took a lot of effort to repair this stone room, but there was only such a vat of things in the stone room, which made me doubt whether the things in this vat were also accidentally knocked out by Taoist priests during alchemy.

What is the use of this tank thing?
I don't think I was too curious before, but the experience of more than a year has completely stimulated my curiosity. When I took out a small bottle from the quick hanger at my waist, I put that kind of Scooped part of the green paste into the bottle, collected some samples, and planned to hand them to Xu Kaiyi after he went out. Anyway, he likes to study these things.

After doing all this, I stopped paying attention to the white porcelain jar, and instead searched around the stone room.The road is dead here, and it seems that there is no other exit, but I know this must be an illusion, because the air quality in this place is very good, and it does not seem to be closed all year round.

The stone steps extend down to about [-] meters, and the stone chamber is not very big. If the stone chamber was last opened in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the air quality here would definitely be very bad.

But smelling it now, there is no peculiar smell in this stone room, as if it has been taking a breath.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I found many ventilation holes in the bottom part around the stone chamber.

These ventilation holes are very small, the largest one is no more than the size of a longan, and it is located at the bottom of the stone chamber, so when I came down just now, I didn't notice it at first glance.Now that I was lying on the ground, I could feel an undercurrent pouring in from the tight ventilation holes, as if there was some big space on the other side of the stone chamber.

What is the opposite place?Are these vents natural or man-made?If it is man-made, such small ventilation holes, some of which are only the size of a grain of rice, how did they come about?

Is there some mechanism in this place that can lead to the back of the air hole?I lay on the ground, pondering this question in my mind. After all, I am trapped in this cave at the moment. If I really can’t find a way out, even if there are ventilation holes, I won’t be suffocated. In the end, I can only die of thirst and starvation. That was so fucking hard.

I groped around the entire stone wall, but I didn't see any mechanism. There is only one big tank in this place. If there is a mechanism, it is likely that the mechanism is on the tank.After lying on the ground and studying for a while, I decided to find a way on the tank.

This vat is the most common white vat, and there is no decorative pattern on it, and there are floating particles on the surface, which are obviously caused by the poor quality of the pottery clay and glaze used.

Compared with the huge and exquisite alchemy furnace outside, this simple vat is not of the same grade at all.

Could it be that this big vat was not prepared earlier, but was temporarily needed and burned out temporarily?

So the paste-like object in this jar is also a product of accident?

There was nothing abnormal on the surface of the big tank, so I tried to move the outline by imitating the plots in TV dramas.Isn't that how it's done in TV shows?Turn the bottle and can, and the door of the secret room will open.

Although it is a little unreliable to think about this in reality, but now, I have no other way, I can only be a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and try any possibility before talking about it.

Unexpectedly, when I tried to move the big tank, I found that it was very heavy, and the paste in the tank was quite heavy.My current strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, because most people don’t exercise very much now, but even so, with all my strength, I can’t move this big vat, as if this vat was nailed to death. It looks like it's here.

Three to four minutes later, my palms were burning and painful. I had no choice but to scoop out half of the contents of the tank. In this way, it was easy to move, and the whole tank was moved out of its original position by me. However, there was no movement in the stone room at all.

I became a little irritable and scratched my hair, not knowing what else to do.

The scimitar and the feather corpse got into some kind of secret passage, and disappeared completely. I searched for a long time, but now I only found such a secret passage, and it is still a dead end.

Is it possible that I have to confess here today?
Under the irritability, the thinking of the brain became even more chaotic. I took a deep breath, forced myself to calm down, and slowly figured out a solution.

Why don't you go back to the alchemy room and look for it, to see if you can find the secret path where the scimitar left?
But I have already searched twice, each time carefully, will there be any gains if I search again?

With a flashlight on, I scanned the narrow stone room carefully, feeling confused.It took a lot of time to build such a stone room, it must not be as simple as putting a tank of things.

But even though I know there is something wrong with this stone chamber and this vat, I can't do anything right now.

"Oh!" Just as he couldn't help sighing, something even more unfortunate happened. The flashlight in his hand dimmed for a moment, which was a sign of insufficient power.

The flashlight is almost dead.

How do you say that?The house leak happens to rain all night.

Fortunately, I was prepared. I turned off the flashlight, took out the lighter, and lit the torch I made with a telescopic tube.

I filled the telescopic tube with kerosene, and stuffed gauze at the mouth of the tube, which is enough to burn for a long time. In addition, the mouth of the tube is relatively thick, so the flame is brighter after ignition.There is a vent in this place, so you don’t have to worry about lack of oxygen. However, the only disadvantage of this telescopic tube is that it is relatively heavy, and it is tiring to hold it in your hand for a long time. Therefore, after I ignited it, I put it by the wall. Wandering around, unwilling to give up, wanting to continue looking for the exit.

However, just after I wandered around the stone room for a few times, suddenly, the light in the entire stone room suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings became faintly green in an instant, as if someone had switched the colored lights.

In this environment, the sudden change of light surprised me, and I immediately turned back to look at the telescopic tube by the wall. Only after looking at it did I realize that the telescopic tube had somehow fallen to the ground, and the crater just touched the wall. I scooped the green paste on the ground!

I didn't expect that these ointments were actually combustible substances. After being ignited, a flame rose like ointment.

No, to be precise, it is a green flame, a green flame.

In an instant, I remembered the dream I had when I was sleeping by the hot spring last night. The flame burning under the alchemy furnace in the dream happened to be green?Could it be that these green pastes are actually fuel for alchemy?

Thinking of the fact that there was no ashes in the pill furnace when he checked the pill furnace before, this idea became more firm.

There is no ashes, because it is not ordinary fuel, but the paste in front of me.

"Hiss..." What's so special about these pastes?Why is the flame green?
