Chapter 170 [Reunited] (Part 2)
Fukuyama Uji did not explain why he appeared here. He had no time to consider how to weave lies. He asked with a shameless face, "Is there an outlet inside?" In fact, he had guessed in his heart that the possibility was extremely slim. If there was an outlet inside, Luo Lie and the other two would not have spent so much energy to dig out the passage. He did not believe that the few people did this to rescue him, not to mention that he did not call for help at all, nor did he make any noise.
Bai Yunfei said: "The old man thought we would give up the easy and seek difficulties?"
Luo Lie pointed to the entrance of the cave leading to the sarcophagus and said, "The largest cave is inside."
Fukuyama Uji shook his head. He had just crawled out of it and had already checked around. There should be no exit for escape.
Luo Lie expressed his thoughts. The mercury cave was filled with mercury before. Because he activated the valve, the mercury was drained in a short time, and there was a hole in the center of the twelve golden engraving boards. Luo Lie had observed that hole. Although that hole alone could evacuate mercury, it was impossible to discharge mercury so thoroughly in a short time. In other words, there might be other other besides that drain.
Fukuyama Uji also thought what Luo Lie said was very reasonable, so he thought about it and said, "The sarcophagus is enough to accommodate you and me, so why not let's go in and take a look."
Luo Lie nodded. He did not doubt Fukuyama Uji's sincerity at this time. After all, no matter whether they were willing or not, everyone was already sitting on the same boat at this time. Only by working together and gathering the wisdom and strength of everyone can there be a chance to break through, otherwise they would have to be trapped here to die.
Fukuyama Uji and Luo Lie climbed to the bottom of the sarcophagus, and the beam of the flashlight illuminated the limited space. Things were not as optimistic as Luo Lie imagined. Because the golden engraving board was tilted, many small stones rolled down to the bottom of the funnel, blocking the previous discharge port. Fukuyama Uji said: "I have checked it, it should be impossible to leave here."
Luo Lie used his hand to knock on the surrounding metal carvings several times, and selected one of them. With the feedback from his palm, he was able to determine that the rear of the carvings should be hollow.
Fukuyama Uji reminded him: "The thickness of this golden engraving board is about one foot, so we can't open it."
Luo Lie nodded. The switch to activate these engraving boards should be the twelve zodiac statues around the sarcophagus, but now the statues are completely covered by falling rocks, and they cannot move the statues at all.
Bai Yunfei and Lu Weilin saw Luo Lie and others retreating again, and knew that they had no gains this time. After listening to Luo Lie introducing the situation inside, Lu Weilin suggested: "It is better for us to gather all the explosives and detonate from the bottom of the sarcophagus, and perhaps we can smash a big hole."
Bai Yunfei shook his head and said, "The most likely reason is to cause a secondary collapse. At that time, we will be unable to escape. Even if it does not cause a secondary collapse, a hole will be blown out as you wish, and it will be filled with stones above, and we still can't get out."
Fukuyama Uji said: "It's right, if the explosion explodes, we won't even have the last chance to escape."
Lu Weilin retorted: "Then tell me what is the solution? Since you are about to die sooner or later, you might as well give it a try."
The three of them turned their eyes to Luo Lie at the same time. Luo Lie had no choice at this time. Although Lan Ximei provided him with a lot of information about the underground palace, the records about the Mercury Cave were not detailed. In fact, Luo Lie understood from the beginning that Lan Ximei was using it, and he also had the same purpose for Lan Ximei, so even in the predicament, Luo Lie had no complaints about Lan Ximei. The Taoist height was one foot higher and the demon was one foot higher. In this game, he was indeed defeated.
However, the defeat was not completely. At least I am still alive at the moment, and the same is true for Uji Fukuyama. No matter whether the role you played was a mantis or a yellow bird, you have not become the one who laughed to the end. You are undoubtedly lucky compared to Mu Sanshou and the others.
Luo Lie was silent for a while, then opened his bag, took out all the things on his bag, and placed them on the ground. Fukuyama Uji looked at his every move, and secretly admired him. Until this moment, Luo Lie could still show such calmness. Even though he had already started to panic, he had even smelled the smell of death. Fukuyama Uji believed that Luo Lie must be panicked deep in his heart, but his self-control ability was very strong and did not show it outside.
Luo Lie unfolded everything in the backpack, then stood up and walked towards Mu Sanshou's body, and began to search for Mu Sanshou's relics. Lu Weilin couldn't help but frowned. Although he disliked Mu Sanshou's character, Mu Sanshou was already dead. Does Luo Lie's death like this seemingly disrespectful to others?
Bai Yunfei didn't understand Luo Lie's motive at first, but he quickly figured out Luo Lie's intentions and soon began to re-check his backpack just like Luo Lie. After Lu Weilin saw Bai Yunfei moving, he realized that Luo Lie was not trying to make money. He had never thought of giving up. He was reorganizing his items and looking for possible tools.
Uji Fukuyama looked at the three young men who had already started to move again, his eyes full of expectations. The three men were obviously very tenacious in their willpower. They also felt a little regretful when they appreciated it. They were already in their sixties, and it would be a pity that even if they died, they had just begun.
Luo Lie suddenly turned around and said to Fukuyama Uji: "Uncle Fukuyama, what are there anything you can do with you?"
Fukuyama Uji shook his head. He knew clearly what he had with him. Of course there was no need to take out all the things like the three of them. However, Fukuyama Uji remembered something again. There was something on him that he did not belong to him.
He took out the porcelain bottle, which was the one hidden in the safe. Mu Sanshou was ambushed because of this porcelain bottle, blinded his eyes by the steel needle ejaculated from the safe, and eventually died in the mercury cave.
The thing that Mu Sanshou, the hero who dominates Huangpu, is looking for at all his life, must be of great value. Fukuyama Uji didn't know what was inside the celadon bottle, but he was sure that there was no Jizhou tripod. The tripod-grabbing campaign planned by Ryoko Matsuyuki had failed before he saw the target. They wanted to hide behind the scenes and play the role of the yellow bird, unfortunately became others' prey.
Mu Sanshou was obviously not consistent with his goals. He was looking for a safe. In the information of Ryoko Matsuyuki, the three words "safe" were not mentioned from beginning to end. With Fukuyama Uji's wisdom, he already understood what happened today. Whether the Jizhou Ding is no longer important here. The target is neither a celadon bottle nor a Jizhou Ding. He and the dead Mu Sanshou and Luo Lie who are still alive are all the same. They are just the objects that Ryoko Matsuyuki wants to remove.
Thinking of this, Uji Fukuyama couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that he had done everything, but he ended up falling into the hands of a little woman. However, even now Uji Fukuyama still couldn't guess the real reason why Ryoko Matsuyuki dealt with him. According to common sense, he believed that Ryoko Matsuyuki should want to eradicate himself to take office.
The celadon bottle should contain liquid. Mu Sanshou used a knife to clear the sealing wax and hot paint, opened the bottle plug, and a pungent breath suddenly escaped from the bottle.
Luo Lie and the other two knew the origin of the celadon bottle after hearing Fukuyama Uji's statement, but no one knew what it contained. Before Fukuyama Uji opened the bottle plug, some people even guessed that there might be a pill for rejuvenation collected by Zhang Taixu. But when they smelled the pungent smell, the idea disappeared. It was definitely not a magic pill, but poison.
Luo Lie brought the armed shovel and asked Fukuyama Uji to pour a drop on it. He wanted to get closer to see what happened, but he never thought that the liquid fell on the armed shovel and quickly produced a chemical reaction. After a while, the armed shovel had corroded a hole the size of a thumb, and the hole continued to expand, and eventually became the size of a red date.
Lu Weilin took a breath of air conditioning. The liquid was too corrosive. You must know that Fukuyama Uji only dripped one drop. If the whole bottle was poured out, would it be fine?
Luo Lie thought to himself that if the liquid in the celadon bottle was hidden by Prince Rui Yixun, this person's intention would be so vicious. Not only did there be poisonous needles in the safe, but there was also a liquid with such a severe toxicity. Mu Sanshou had been planning for a lifetime, and although he finally found this safe, the matter was set up by Yixun from beginning to end.
Luo Lie was not frustrated by the liquid in the celadon bottle. Although this liquid is not a magic pill that can rejuvenate, for them at this moment, this liquid is even more precious than all the magic pills in the world. Because the bottom of the mercury cave is made of twelve golden engraving boards, the only way to get out of the predicament is to pass through these golden engraving boards with a thickness of more than one foot.
Although they are not short of weapons and ammunition, the actual conditions determine that they cannot use it easily. Any explosion and vibration are likely to cause a secondary collapse of the cave. Once this happens, they will have no chance to see the light of day again.
The four of them discussed and agreed to use the liquid in the celadon bottle to corrode the golden engraving board at the bottom of the mercury cave. According to the situation of corroding the armed shovel just now, the celadon bottle should contain liquids such as aqua regia, but it will never be aqua regia. The celadon is a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid at a volume ratio of 3:1, which can dissolve metals. However, the celadon bottle is extremely unstable and is usually used now. This celadon bottle has a history of at least ten years. Even if the seal is excellent, it should have failed at this moment.
