summer market

The disappearing speed of the stairway gradually accelerated, like dominoes being pushed down, it disappeared into the darkness at once, and Chen Si and Gu Fengchun looked at each other in dismay.Chen Si thought to himself that he had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a weird thing.However, in the core area of ​​the Great Forbidden Land, no matter how strange things encountered, it was no surprise.

"What's going on?" Luo Xiaodan said with a look of shock.She was quite anxious, the darkness at the end of the stairway in front of her was enough to chill her heart, and the stairway above her head quickly sank into the darkness, who knew if there was any danger hidden in this darkness?

"I don't know." Chen Si's expression was not very good.But he stepped out and stepped into the darkness.He originally thought that this kick would definitely fail, but he didn't expect that this kick actually stepped on the ground.

Chen Si relaxed in his heart, greeted everyone, and said: "Come down, it's dark here, but it's real." Outside the beam of light, there is no diffused light source.

After Gu Fengchun came down, he found that there was an empty place around him.But he kept his eyes open, holding the railing with his hands, and resisting the cold brought by the latent stone.But a few seconds later, the darkness also engulfed the handrail he was holding on to, and he felt his arm suddenly fall into the air, and the handrail disappeared out of thin air!

"Evil door", Gu Fengchun thought to himself, why did the railing suddenly disappear?Gu Fengchun gave a wry smile, it seems that this Burning Spirit Palace is even more mysterious than that hidden city!

Gu Fengchun saw that this batch of pitch black had the effect of swallowing the light source, he squatted down slowly, and touched the ground under his feet with his hands.It was cold for a while.It felt like it was paved with stones.

"Stones are not so weird." Gu Fengchun murmured. "Bring a lamp over here." Gu Fengchun said to the people around him.Mammoth was standing next to him, he quickly turned on the flashlight and handed it over.After receiving the light source, Gu Fengchun lay down on his stomach.After a closer look, how weird is this slate, it can swallow the light.

Gu Fengchun squinted his eyes, and found that the light only hit the ground about one or two centimeters before disappearing, and he was surprised again.He originally thought that it should be that the surrounding floors and walls were covered with a strange black paint, which should be able to absorb the light source.But seeing this situation, Gu Fengchun doubted his thoughts.The light has basically disappeared before it touches the ground, as if there is an invisible membrane that isolates the light from contacting everything around, so it seems that this place has become an absolutely dark environment.

Gu Fengchun secretly marveled.However, he still did not take it lightly, pulled out the military thorn, and carefully scraped the ground a few times.He had to collect some materials on the ground to prove whether his judgment was wrong.

The dark environment here makes everyone feel stressed.Especially Da Yumu and Luo Xiaodan, the two of them have not received training and experience in surviving in an absolutely dark environment, so they seem very nervous.Coupled with the silence around him, Luo Xiaodan's forehead was already dripping with sweat.If it weren't for the large group of people surrounding her, she would have been shaking all over by now.It was so quiet that she could even hear everyone's breaths of different lengths.

"Everyone should pay attention to safety." Chen Si said.It's so dark here, if something hides in the darkness and makes a sudden attack, we will be caught off guard. "As a master strategist, Chen Si is very clear that arranging an ambush somewhere will give the enemy an unexpected blow. Therefore, he can see that here, the people who designed this place back then could not have seen this. No matter what the danger is, when the main force appears, there is a great possibility that everyone will suffer, so he had to remind them again and again.

"What is this?" Gu Fengchun stroked the powder scraped from the floor with his palm. The powder was off-white and hard, and it was not easy to blow it up. However, the powder didn't look like it was hanging from a stone. s things.He put the powder under his nose and smelled it, and it seemed to have a fishy smell.He raised his head and said to Chen Si: "Chen Si, come here and see what these are?" He thought that Chen Si was more knowledgeable than him, so he should be able to tell him the answer.

When Chen Si heard the words, he stepped over in three steps and two steps.He has been paying attention to Gu Fengchun's movements, and he is seldom happy when he sees that Gu Fengchun has discovered something.

Chen Si squatted down at once, and Gu Fengchun poured the powder into his palm, and said: "I started because the environment here was dark, and it was because of some black paint, but now it seems that it is not That's what happened."

Chen Si nodded.He knows that the military has been developing various paints with stealth functions. At the beginning, his Gu Fengchun's judgment is not much gone, but Chen Si is much more mature and stable than Gu Fengchun after all, and he knows that it is not that simple here. .The people who built this Burning Spirit Palace may have the ability to develop a paint that can completely absorb light, but it doesn't seem necessary to use it here.Because they are not going to let anyone come here alive at all, and the means they arrange should be the most straightforward way to kill people. If it is paint, they only need to be covered with something, then it should have no effect at all.

Chen Si touched it and felt that these powders were very familiar.He frowned and said, "Can you feel the age of these things?" Gu Fengchun paused, then suddenly remembered, his face changed slightly; "I don't feel anything. It's like holding a very ordinary It's just an ordinary thing." Gu Fengchun knew that this phenomenon was not normal.Even if it is an ordinary stone, if it was touched by someone one day 3000 years ago, Gu Fengchun would be able to sense it.Therefore, for many antiques, the time Gu Fengchun judged was accurate to a perverted level.But he didn't feel the slightest touch of the powder in his hand.That would be very strange.

"Bazi, come here and see what these things are." Chen Si beckoned, and said to Bazi who had already taken off the 05-type automatic rifle on his back.

"Mm." Bazi always said little, and after a deadpan reply, he walked over.His footsteps are still calm and steady, and it seems impossible to judge from his expression what kind of change in his mood here.Bazi's nose is very good, so he will never forget the things he has smelled in his life.

Bazi's expression was serious.He contacted and smelled it twice before he let out a "huh" and slowly raised his head and said, "It's very strange. These powders seem to be mixed with ambergris and human bones!" Bazi's eyes flickered clean.

"What?" Both Gu Fengchun and Chen Si were quite surprised.

Chen Si murmured: "So that's the case, no wonder I think this smell is so familiar?" He could smell the smell of the dead in the powder in his hand, but this smell is very weak. It was so light that he didn't dare to make a judgment, so he called Ba Zi to come over to help.

Hearing ambergris, Gu Fengchun couldn't help but startled.But it was Luo Xiaodan who was most interested.

Luo Xiaodan is a master jewelry connoisseur, but she is also a first-class expert in perfume research.So she knew better than anyone present what the effect of ambergris was.Ambergris is the secretion of the digestive system of sperm whales in the deep sea, similar to stones, and has the title of gray amber in the West.Burn it with a lasting fragrance.It has long been one of the raw materials used to make high-end perfumes, but the price of ambergris is comparable to gold.Luo Xiaodan likes to collect all kinds of strange things, and ambergris is one of them.However, the ambergris exudes a stench in the initial stage, and only the ambergris that has been soaked in seawater for dozens or even hundreds of years can exude an attractive fragrance.There is only a small piece of this kind of natural treasure in Luo Xiaodan's collection cabinet.So when she heard the ambergris, she was very happy.But she didn't hear the words behind Bazi clearly, otherwise she would have to be disappointed and even more disgusted.One can imagine how she should feel when she is stepping on a pile of corpses.

Luo Xiaodan was about to come over to see if Gu Fengchun had discovered ambergris.But she heard Gu Fengchun suddenly say: "Yes, I read in an ancient book that ambergris is mixed with human bones, and then mixed with other secret ingredients to make boards, which can be used to lay floors. There is a special effect."

"Oh?" Although Chen Si had lived for thousands of years, he knew nothing about this, so he couldn't help frowning.

Gu Fengchun nodded and said: "The ancients believed that ambergris came from the deep-sea dragon clan and has the effect of suppressing evil. Mixing it with the ashes of abnormal deaths can trap the souls of these people and drive them to serve them. Do things." Gu Fengchun frowned and said.

"What book, so evil?" Chen Si shook his head.He thought to himself that he read everything in ancient books, so why didn't he have an impression?

Gu Fengchun smiled and said: "A few years ago, an ancient tomb was unearthed in the Liaodong area. It was the tomb of a nobleman in the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period. There was a silk book inside, and this was recorded in it. I was also in this archaeological team at the time. Work in the team. The content of the silk script is very difficult. It is not written in the Central Plains. If the content of the article is completely different from mine, I can’t publish it.”

Chen Si nodded, and was about to speak, but his body suddenly moved, and the military thorn in his hand swung heavily behind Gu Fengchun, then pulled Gu Fengchun up, and rolled heavily to the side.
