Shadow Code - C32
” “I don’t believe you. Come, San-zi, come over here and bind the hands of those old women. I’ll do it again!”
” Can this work? ” I looked at my sister subconsciously.
” Let me do it. I want to see what exactly is being stewed in this pot. ” The little sister waved her hand and made me take half a step back.
This time, it was unknown if it was really a forceful method or just a coincidence. The old woman did not scoop up any more water to raise the lid and add it to the pot, and the hemp smoothly lifted the lid.
It was a surprise to see us so close.
There was actually a mirror in this pot.
“It’s actually not meat? But the smell does come from the pot. How can a mirror smell meat? ”
“Is this a mirror made of meat?”
“Why is there a mirror being stewed? What is this mirror?”
“Damn, I’ve already taken it for so long. Right, why is the lid of such a steaming hot pot cold?”
“This is too damn unbelievable, why isn’t there any normal objects here? Since the lid of the pot isn’t hot, then the pot must be cold, why don’t we take out the mirror and take a look?” See if you can find anything? ”
” Let me do it! Just watch out for this old lady. Although she’s a dead person, who knows what cultivation experience or mechanism she has! ” The pockmark threw the lid of the pot into the pit where the old woman sat with her legs crossed.
This, let me remember now, stone statues often see stone lions, in front of many buildings, two magnificent stone lions, this kind of lion’s mouth usually contains stone beads, but you can never think of taking out the bead from this lion’s mouth, because at that time, when the mason was making the stone beads, it was inside the lion’s mouth that the cutting process was completed, is this mirror also? When someone had made this pot, they had polished a mirror inside it?
Since the pockmark had failed, he could only withdraw his hand.
” However, this is different from a lion. The lion’s entire body is made of a piece of stone, a material made of, and this pot is clearly not made of the same material as the mirror inside, so how can it be? ”
” No, there are several possibilities, one is that this pot is some kind of cast iron, so at that time when trying to find a way to put the mirror inside the pot into the cast iron grinder, after the cast iron is formed, the mirror will naturally be inside, but this pot doesn’t seem to belong to any kind of metal, it is more like a natural rock, if it is a natural rock, then that is another kind of possibility, this rock itself is a piece of jade mine, inside there is a type of core, the ore outside has become a mirror, and the ore outside has become a pot body, that is why a raw material, two types of materials, create this kind of vessel! ” the little sister said.
” The second possibility sounded reliable. If that was the case, then this pot and the mirror inside it would be completed using a piece of ore. Wouldn’t it be priceless? The value of the mine itself, coupled with the craftsmanship of the craftsman, were still ancient! “When I get back, I’ll be at the Tsui Tsui [1]. I’ll make this pot of stewed rice with golden beans and white rice and treat you to dinner!” Ma Zi’s eyes flashed with curiosity.
” There’s no market for it, and you have no road ahead of you. Who would dare to believe that it’s not easy to get it, and who would buy it at such a high price? ”
” A good girl is not worried about marriage. Fuck, that’s stupid, this thing is so valuable, why are we fishing for it alone, even if it’s just a pot. Since this is a set, it’s worthless to be separated! ” As he spoke, the pockmarked fellow was about to move the pot. He was impatient and quick. Just as I was about to stop him, he had already moved the pot.
How could any of us still stand? We fell into the soup pond, and just as we were about to struggle and hold on to the pot, the water in the soup tank suddenly surged up, and in our desperation, we didn’t forget to pick up the pot lid that was placed on the old woman’s abdomen, covering it with the pot and stuffing it into the cotton-padded jacket.
I want to call you a fool who wants money more than his life, so I choked a mouthful of water out of my mouth. Seeing that the pool of soup is already as high as the water of Jinshan Temple, and it’s still going on, I immediately held my breath and looked at my sister under the water. I saw that she actually swam to the spot where we were standing just moments ago, by the way, the old woman looks back every time she turns her head, is there a trap there? What did my little sister discover?
I couldn’t speak, so I patted my pockmarks to indicate that I should swim to that side as well.
When we swam over, my sister was already studying that piece. It turned out that there was only a layer of bone ash on the surface, and as the water in the soup pond rose, it flooded the surrounding platform and washed away the bone dust, revealing a clean floor tile.
Every tile on the ground is about the length of a person’s foot and about the width of his palm. Furthermore, they are all in very strange shapes, and I can’t see anything for a while, so I quickly took advantage of the fact that there’s still some water on the surface to swim up to catch my breath, or else I’ll suffocate to death.
I swam up to the surface of the water and inhaled deeply a few times. I was just about to give it to the two of them when I realized that there was nothing I could do. I could give them anything, but I just couldn’t let them go.
I found that the water was already rising very high, and somehow I felt that this height had long since exceeded the distance between the hole we fell into and the ground. At that time, I suddenly thought to myself, whether there are any other holes in this burial site, if this goes on, wouldn’t the water rise up to the hole we came in, and flood Blackwater Cliff?
Afraid of losing track of the situation and not daring to linger for more than a second, he quickly turned back.
When I returned, the two of them had already pried open a floor tile. There was no way to communicate with them, I didn’t know how they managed to find their way in such a short period of time, but looking at the floor tile, there was actually light.
That’s right, I suddenly had a bad feeling when I saw the light. Our old torch had been extinguished when it fell into the spoon. That meant that while we were in the water, we didn’t have any lighting tools, but we could clearly see everything. Where did the light come from?
As he thought of this, he looked around and discovered that there was a luminous pearl the size of a goose egg carved into the phoenix crown at the bottom of the white phoenix pattern on the bottom of the soup pond.
I pointed to the location of the Night Pearl to the pockmarks, which immediately lit up. I thought to myself, If you can hold your breath, you can swim over and dig it out.
As expected, the pockmark turned around and swam away. The little sister glanced at it before continuing to concentrate on the floor tiles.
When I started to count, the floor tiles that were picked out looked no different from those around us. Furthermore, there weren’t any special marks on the floor where she pointed, but I actually clicked on another one, which was similar to a Chinese acupuncture point. I couldn’t help but admire my sister, while at the same time, my curiosity towards her background and background deepened.
After that, she lied down on the floor tiles, took big breaths, and then raised her head to signal me to do the same.
The floor tiles had been opened, and we lay on our bellies, breathing hard at the same time.
Through the brick entrance, I could clearly see the forest underneath. The light I saw was actually like the light of the sun, but how was that possible? Could it be that this isn’t the underground world? It was actually on the ground? Could it be that the place where he was buried was in the woods of the Great Xing’Anling Mountains?
Impossible, absolutely impossible. We fell from Blackwater Cliff, and the Blackwater Cliff is in the forest. Isn’t the bottom of Blackwater Cliff supposed to be in the forest? How can it be the forest on the ground?
I don’t know what method the pockmarked brat used, but he actually managed to obtain the Night Pearl and swam back. His face was purple from holding it in. I hastily pressed his head against the floor and stuffed it into the mouth of the brick.
Ma Zi greedily took a few breaths and I guessed that he must have also seen the ground underneath the brick. As expected, he raised his head to look at me and my little sister with a questioning gaze.
