From seeing it

Xiao Ling was relieved to see that the earthen jar was still intact by his side, and hurriedly picked up the earthen jar again.

Seeing the earthen jar Xiao Ling held in his hand, the others hurriedly gathered over.

Everyone thought like him, since Xu Fu left a bamboo slip to warn future generations, if he really left a solution, he must have stored it in an earthen jar with the bamboo slip and preserved it, but Sun Tao saw it just now. After arriving at the bamboo slips placed inside, they took them out, and searched the earthen jar carefully, and put it aside when they saw that there was nothing inside. Everyone's attention was attracted by the bamboo slips, and they ignored the earthen jar itself.

Xiao Ling looked into the earthen jar, it was empty and there was nothing.

"Impossible. If Xu Fu really has a solution, what better place to store it than here? Could it be that there are other earthen jars?" Xiao Ling did not give up, took out the flashlight, and shined it into the earthen jar for careful observation. .

"Did you see anything?" Li Zhibao asked. Although everyone returned to their original appearance again, they all felt weak and weak, and the situation was very bad. Can't wake up.

Xiao Ling used a flashlight to shine this time, including the bottom and side walls of the crock, but found nothing, let alone any other objects inside.

He told his discovery, Li Zhibao pondered slightly, took the earthen pot in his hand, looked at it carefully, then put it down, and murmured: "Strange."

Originally, everyone thought that Xu Fu would leave something in the earthen jar, which might save everyone's lives, but now it seems that there is nothing in the earthen jar, and everyone's hope was in vain.

"Vermiculite can be solved. Can this kind of vermiculite solve our predicament? But where is this vermiculite?" Hu Shengzhe frowned and thought hard.

Li Zhibao didn't see anything, so Yu Tingting took it again, first watched it carefully, shook the crock pot in her hand, and listened carefully, then measured it outside with her hand, and then measured it inside, Everyone couldn't figure out what she was looking at, and they all thought that there was nothing in the crock pot and they could see the bottom at a glance, but what was she doing.

"No, the inside of this earthen jar is much shallower than the outside. From this point of view, the bottom of this earthen jar is very thick, at least five centimeters thick, which is a bit wrong." Yu Tingting spoke suddenly.

Xiao Ling moved in his heart and said, "Sister Ting, what do you mean there is a compartment at the bottom of this earthen jar?"

Yu Tingting nodded.

Li Zhibao said: "We don't have much time, whether we have it or not, we can only break it open and have a look."

The others also nodded to her. Seeing that everyone agreed, Yu Tingting raised the earthen pot and carefully smashed it on the black rock beside her.

The crock shattered, and the bottom was cracked. Sure enough, there were two layers. After the shattered, an extremely exquisitely crafted flat bronze box was exposed inside.

Seeing the bronze box, everyone was refreshed. It seemed that Xu Fu really had a backhand, but he just sealed it at the bottom of the earthen jar. If everyone hadn't observed carefully, it would be hard to find out that he had the heart to save the fateful people later. , but left this method, it seems to test everyone intentionally, making people unable to guess what Xu Fu was thinking back then.

Everyone didn't open the bronze box hastily, but retreated to the side one after another. Only Sun Tao stepped forward and did it himself, carefully opening the bronze box with a military waist knife.

The box was opened, and Qin Yang approached it with a searchlight. Under the light, he saw that there were densely packed white sesame seeds inside the small flat bronze box, which looked like a single white sesame seed.

"What is this? Is it for eating?" Sun Tao was a little surprised.

Xiao Ling, Li Zhibao, Zhou Kesheng, Yu Tingting and others all gathered around and looked at the white particles placed in the box.

Li Zhibao had a look of enlightenment on his face, he tried to pass the saber in Sun Tao's hand, and cut his left index finger.

Blood gushed from the wound, and he reached into the bronze box.

Everyone took a deep breath a little nervously, gathered around, and watched quietly. Several beams of flashlights shone on the bronze box.

Blood dripped onto the white granule, and soon seeped into it.

Strange to say, those white sesame-like particles soaked by blood suddenly became active, as if they had come alive from the original dead state.

Li Zhibao's expression was shocked, and he picked up his finger, and everyone saw a lot of white sesame seeds sticking to the wound of his index finger. These white sesame seeds were slowly expanding and wriggling, and they had already turned into living things.

As it continued to expand, everyone quickly saw that it was not a sesame seed, but a white worm, like a leech, sucking the blood from Li Zhibao's wound.

As the blood was drawn, their bodies seemed to be inflated and slowly expanding.

"I see. This is vermiculite. The essence may be a special kind of leech. They are now in a dehydrated state and look like dead objects. They are called vermiculite. As long as they are nourished with blood, they can come alive. The parasites are extracted, this is what Xu Fu left for us to save."

Yu Tingting also fully understood, picked up the saber, carefully cut a small wound on her index finger, and then put the bloody index finger into the bronze box. After that, a few white insects that came alive also adhered to the wound on her finger, and slowly Slow expansion becomes larger.

Everyone followed suit one after another. Fortunately, there was enough vermiculite in the box for them to use. Everyone carefully cut a small wound on their finger, and used vermiculite to adsorb on the wound.

Xiao Ling looked at the vermiculite, which was originally a dead thing, and it came back to life after absorbing blood. It sucked on the wound of his finger, and his body continued to expand and grow, like a balloon being inflated. Bai, finally turned white and shone faintly. Suddenly, one of the images reached the limit and fell from the wound on his index finger.

After landing, a ball of faint white light juice slowly gushed out from the front of the vermiculite body, and its body was slowly shrinking and shrinking.

Xiao Ling looked at the ball of pale white light, and thought, could this be the ghost jellyfish from the lighthouse? Or the water recorded in the ancient books that Wang Lei said.

The vermiculite adsorbed on the wounds of everyone's fingers fell down one after another, and Zhou Kesheng took out his pocket watch to check the time.

Before, every fifteen minutes or so, everyone would start to age again, and eventually passed out due to extreme aging.

Looking at the time now, seventeen minutes have passed, and everyone still maintains their original appearance, showing no signs of aging.

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and there was still no change.
