I can't play this game

Although the space-time compass in his hand showed that the next time ring would continue to rise, Ji Han still did not suppress his strong curiosity:

Could the elixir of life really exist in such a place?Or is Queen Mother Xi really successful?

But that's not quite right, she really succeeded and developed the formula for the elixir of life, so why did she put the alchemy furnace here as a souvenir?

It was not easy to refine such a huge bronze vessel in that era, why not leave it for future generations to continue to use?

I didn't take into account the questions that popped up in my mind. Anyway, the rope on the railing proves that someone has come up before, and there are indeed no other traces in the house, which means that you are probably safe here.

Thinking that Ji Han stepped into the stone house first and walked to the alchemy furnace, only to find that the small door on the side of the alchemy furnace had been opened when he got closer, revealing the dark inner wall of the alchemy furnace.

I looked back with the flashlight, only to find that there was a small square table made of stone behind the alchemy furnace, and a stone plate was placed on the right side of the small square table, and there was still a line of ink on the stone table:

"The army is in a desperate situation and has no choice but to borrow a plate of magic medicine and hope for immortals."

Ji Han shook his head helplessly, and said to himself, General Guo, you are really quick, and it seems that you have thought of all the ways you can think of to defend the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Ji Han turned around and greeted:

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it, this place has also been looted by General Guo."

Song Qian, Chen Ke, and Eggplant entered one by one. Ji Han took a flashlight to look around, but suddenly found an upside-down stone plate thrown on the ground behind the stone table.

Ji Han's heart suddenly sank: Wait a minute, two plates?Guo Xin's message said he only used one.

Chapter 831 There's Something Below

Song Qian and the three of them saw the plates and words on the table, and they all understood what was going on.

But Ji Han was squatting beside the stone table and scratching his head, when Eggplant stepped forward and patted:

"What are you doing? Are you looking for any medicine residue that fell on the ground?"

Ji Han picked up the stone plate not far away and handed it over:

"I was wondering who took the other plate of medicine."

At this time, Song Qian and the three noticed that there was another stone plate, and they all realized the problem that Ji Han had just noticed.

Eggplant guessed:

"Do you think that General Guo Xin lied? In fact, he looted all the medicines and gold and silver treasures here, and then slipped away with his men? Didn't the purple-clothed Taoist say that Guo Xin's final outcome is unknown to everyone?" I don’t know, there is no relevant record even in historical materials.”

Chen Ke waved his hand and said:

"This is impossible. Although there are no specific documents, this city and the town of Qiuci outside have evidence that General Guo Xin led his soldiers to guard the border here for decades. This cannot be faked."

Song Qian nodded and said:

"That's right, and judging from the handwriting on the first floor and here, Guo Xin still has deep respect for the legendary Queen Mother of the West. Even if he took something from someone else, he still explained the reason on the ground and left Name, if it is looting, there is absolutely no need to do so.”

Ji Han thought about it:

"Indeed, Guo Xin said to use a plate, which means that there were other medicines here at that time. The plate thrown on the ground also proves this, and throwing the plate on the ground is indeed not something that General Guo and the others did."

Eggplant spread his hands and said:

"It doesn't matter. These are not too important. We can't eat them anyway. It seems that there is no hope of immortality. That General Guo Xin really trusts the Queen Mother of the West. He dares to eat this kind of expired food."

Chen Ke shook his head and said:

"I'm rather curious about what kind of medicine they took in the end. I don't think General Guo Xin trusted the medicine or the Queen Mother of the West, but that he really had no other choice at that time."

Ji Han is also more inclined to Chen Ke's guess. If there is a stable backup force and military salary, who would take risks in such a place?

Now that it has been eaten clean, there is no need to think about other things.

Thinking of Ji Han picking up the stone plate on the ground, and wanting to put it back on the table, when holding the plate in his hands, Ji Han subconsciously looked it up, but found that there was something engraved in the middle of the plate.

It looks like the characters of the Western Regions.

With the help of the Quantum Fluctuation Reading Method, Ji Han deciphered the words engraved in the center of the plate:

Burn out the rest of your life.

Ji Han thought he was wrong, so he checked again and again.

Because they are not in the same writing system, the translation of the Quantum Fluctuation Reading Method is not so seamless, but generally speaking, there will be no problem with the semantics.

Burn out the rest of your life?Literally use up the remaining life of a person?

Ji Han didn't try to draw conclusions lightly, but picked up another stone plate on the table.

But it was found that the exact same text was engraved on it.

Song Qian and the three of them also came together when they saw Ji Han's abnormal state, and they were all taken aback when they saw the words engraved on the bottom of the plate.

Reminiscent of Guo Xin's outnumbered generals who had to stand firm to guard against the heavy attacks of Tubo, combined with the words on the plate, Eggplant slapped his thigh and said:

"Grass, this fucking thing must be a stimulant! No one would regard a medicine that accelerates death for no reason as a magic medicine, unless the medicine can bring strange effects. Take it away, which means that this thing will definitely help you on the battlefield.”

Eggplant's deduction is indeed reasonable. Under the circumstances at that time, it was probably the only possibility to help Guo Xin rely on those old and wounded soldiers to turn defeat into victory.

I didn't expect that the magic medicine that Queen Mother of the West finally refined would be something like this.

Of course, it is also possible that this is just her practice.

produced part.

Ji Han pinched his chin and thought:

"Eggplant is right. This medicine is indeed not what we imagined, and it cannot be the elixir of life. And I believe that even if General Guo Xin is desperate, he will not let his subordinates try it on himself without knowing the truth at all. medicine.

So I reckon that no matter what method he used, he must have known the effect of this medicine, and finally used one of the medicines to burn out his remaining life when the situation was extremely urgent. "

Although I don't know what the effect of time is, but if I burn out the rest of my life, I am afraid that the ability I get is quite terrifying.

Judging from the fact that he was able to lead his subordinates to stay here for decades, it was indeed the case. Since the drug would speed up the death of users, they might have used it in batches.

Thinking that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed so much to defend the frontier thousands of years ago, it is not only a bit sad.

Putting the stone plate back on the table, Ji Han began to think about the second question:

According to the words left by General Guo Xin, there should have been two plates of medicine on the table at that time, and someone should have come to get them after he left. If you just took them away, you can understand, but why throw the other plate away?

No matter how you think about it, the person who took the second tray of pills didn't have the right motives.

Unless, it wasn't what he wanted to throw away, but what he had to touch while taking the medicine.

Could it be that some monster here ate this plate of medicine?

It didn't seem quite right, there were no traces of any monsters on the way up, unless the thing flew up directly.

But this medicine is not a tonic, even if a monster really eats it, it will definitely not be alive now.

At this time, Ji Han didn't have any extra energy to think about these issues, and glanced at the aperture on the space-time compass. Although he still had plenty of time, there was no need to waste it here.

Thinking of Ji Han, he walked out with Song Qian and the three of them. Everyone went around the third floor, but they didn't find the stairs that continued up.

Did Ji Hanxin say that Queen Mother Xi and her family can fly?They just want to save materials in this kind of place, but it's also possible that they don't want anyone to come up at any time.

This time, before Ji Han could unleash the devil's tentacles, Song Qian untied the heart lock chain on the railing and threw it up.

Then three steps and two steps along the chain quickly climbed to the top, Ji Han followed behind.

It should be that he has more trust in the bluestone slab here, but this time the eggplant was not the last one to come up, and he didn't have time to explore inside. Ji Han, who helped pull the eggplant up, first reached Chen Ke who was holding the chain.

Chen Ke climbed up along the chain and just grabbed the stone slab and was about to reach out to Ji Han when his body suddenly sank down, almost falling.

Ji Han swooped and grabbed Chen Ke's hand, and was about to lift him up, but felt a powerful force seemed to be pulling Chen Ke's body from below.

Something down there was pulling him.

Chapter 832 The Fourth Floor

Although they didn't see what was underneath with their own eyes, all three of them could see the strength and expression coming from Chen Ke's hand.

Ji Han took a step forward and grabbed Chen Ke's arm. Relying on the strength of the demon's tentacles, as long as the floor didn't collapse, he would definitely not be dragged down.

Song Qian then pasted an amulet on Chen Ke's body, at least to ensure that he would not suffer any secondary damage.

Eggplant didn't pause at all, frowning tightly, he opened his see-through eyes again, took out the silver-white [All Things Penetrating] from his backpack, glanced at it, and then shot through the bluestone slab.

Ji Han knew that the stone slab under his feet should be specially made, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand the strength of the four of them, but for that special game sniper rifle, it wasn't an impenetrable obstacle.

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and there was a small hole penetrating through the bluestone board under his feet. At the same time, Chen Ke's body was also thrown outwards. Ke's body.

Chen Ke himself also took the opportunity to earn money to shake his legs, and finally got rid of the shackles, and quickly climbed down with the help of Ji Han and Song Qian.

In order to prevent the things below from following up to launch another surprise attack, Ji Han and the others immediately stuck together by the window of this floor after receiving Chen Ke.

However, there was no movement below at this moment.

"Chen Ke, are you okay? What was it just now?"

Chen Ke took out a hundred ghost pills, waved his hands and said:

"It's okay, but I can't see it clearly because those bluestone slabs are blocking it. The touch feels like someone is grabbing my ankle."

As a frequent ankle victim, Ji Han did not doubt Chen Ke's judgment at all, after all, he had encountered this situation more than once.

Seeing the eggplant next to him rubbing his eyes red, Song Qian handed over the green nutrient solution and asked:

"Is it overused?"

Eggplant squatted [Everything runs through] shook his head and said:

"Fortunately, what Chen Ke said is correct. Just now I also saw that there seemed to be a person below. I should have been hit just now, but after shooting, the guy disappeared in a blink of an eye."

Ji Han looked around to make sure that eggplant's shot just now did not cause any trouble, and then replied:

"It seems that he is a guy who knows this tower very well. Don't spread out, and don't get too close to the railing."

As he spoke, he glanced at the space-time compass in his hand, and it actually showed that he would continue to go up.

This is already the fourth floor. Looking up, you can see a space of eight or nine square meters. It is more like a small cubicle than the fifth floor.

And this floor is the same as the third floor, it is a fully opened room, and the furnishings in the room are even simpler.

It's just that there is a bluestone platform in the center, and a pale corpse is lying on the platform.

Surprisingly, the corpse on the Qingshi platform didn't seem to have any decay, and many details can be seen from the door.

The pale corpse was not too different in color from the blue stone platform below, Ji Han even suspected that it was a work carved on the stone platform.

Judging from the prominent secondary sexual characteristics on the upper body of the corpse, it should be a female corpse.

The surprise at seeing this corpse seemed to temporarily suppress Chen Ke's fear of being attacked just now. Chen Ke said in surprise:

"Could it be the body left by Queen Mother Xi before her ascension?"

These words are indeed a bit out of mind, but they are also an explanation for the situation in front of Xing.

Ji Han has not heard many myths and legends, but he does know that there is such a saying: the "remains" left by immortals after becoming immortals are neither rotten nor bad.

The thought flashed through his mind, and was quickly denied by Ji Han again:

"Even if it's the remains of the Queen Mother of the West, it shouldn't be put here naked like this. At least it should be dressed neatly for future generations to worship. Although the customs are different, how decent is it to lie here naked like this? "

Ji Han doesn't want to cause more trouble at this time, I don't know if there is any threat below, so search from the outside as soon as possible.

The clock is what matters.

Just now it seemed that the area of ​​the fifth floor should be very small, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for four people to go up together.

Even if you can go up, it is not easy to deal with the sudden possibility. If you fall from this height without any preparation, you will either die or be disabled.

However, because of the small area, if you want to go up to the threat below, you must climb to this floor first, and there will be no more unexpected surprise attacks just now.

But at this time Song Qian patted Ji Han lightly, pointed to the top of her head and said:

"Brother Han, look up."

Looking up Song Qian's flashlight, I saw that the center of the roof of the Qingyu Building on the fourth floor was actually empty, and I could directly see the fifth floor above.

Looking up from below, Ji Han found that the roofs of the fourth and fifth floors were actually empty, and the light from the flashlight could directly penetrate upwards from the fourth floor.

And in the hollow place on the top of the fourth floor, there is a shelf composed of several sapphire strips, and a jade ring that is emitting a faint white light is placed in the middle.

Damn, actually put it there.

From the position point of view, this time ring still belongs to the space of the fourth floor. The top and bottom holes of the fourth floor and the fifth floor are aligned with the middle of the lower hour ring, as if different lenses of a microscope are combined together.

I don't know why the designer arranged it like this at the time, because they wanted to use the special effect of this time ring, but if they want to get it now, I'm afraid they can only climb up from the inside of the fourth floor.
