Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 673
"Old smoke!"

Professor Xu's voice came from inside, full of excitement, we couldn't discuss anything further, Lao Yan quickly followed, and I also ran up immediately.

Although the door of Lanchi Palace looks unusual, it has no mechanism. After Professor Xu pushed it open, he didn't close it from the inside, so we walked in smoothly.

"Isn't this... quite similar to the palace just now?" I looked at the palace in front of me. This palace was more than double the size of the one just now, but the layout was indeed very similar. There was no difference between the dragon bed, bookshelves, and dragon robes.

The only difference is a sword hanging beside the dragon bed.

The sword was red all over, with two inscriptions engraved on it. Although thousands of years had passed, and even though it was still inserted in the scabbard, it still couldn't block the murderous aura of Ling Ran.

Professor Xu and Yazai were surrounding the sword, less than one meter away, staring at it for a long while. When they heard the sound of us coming in, Professor Xu turned to look at us, his face flushed with excitement.

Seeing him so excited, I also became excited: "This...isn't this the Tai Ah Excalibur?"

After saying this, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was exactly the same as the Tai Ah Sword in the description.

Professor Xu nodded excitedly, his glasses were a little unsteady: "That's right, it's Tai Ah Excalibur! I looked carefully from the outside, but I didn't dare to move, so..."

Lao Yan answered directly: "In other words, it may not be Tai Ah Shenjian."

"Lao Yan, but I'm [-]% sure." Professor Xu was still excited. He was afraid that Lao Yan wouldn't believe it, so he deliberately re-described the appearance of Tai Ah Shenjian after speaking.

Following his description, I felt more and more that the thing that was lying on the sword frame was the Tai Ah Excalibur.

"Old Yan, we have taken this sword, and this mission is considered complete!" I said excitedly.

Lao Yan glanced at us, but he didn't show any excitement. He always felt that something was wrong. If the Tai Ah Shenjian appeared so easily, this mission would be ridiculous.

It's as if someone has put what we want in front of our eyes.

Time passed slowly, but no one responded to Lao Yan's words. Maybe in everyone's heart, they hoped that the task would be completed quickly. Although we like taking risks, it doesn't mean we like to sacrifice.

If the task can be successfully completed, it is also a very good thing for us.

So no one wants to respond to Lao Yan, because everyone hopes that this is the real Tai Ah Excalibur.

"Old Smoke, what if it's real?" I asked unwillingly.

At least the appearance is very similar, even Professor Xu said that he is [-]% sure, and I still trust Professor Xu very much.

Professor Xu is an authority in the archaeological field. If there is [-]% of his judgment, then it is very likely to be true.

But Lao Yan just didn't believe it would be so simple, he looked at Professor Xu, and said word by word: "Old Xu, you should first talk about what is going on with that letter."

Professor Xu patted his head and said: "Look at me, I'm so excited that I forgot! I wanted to tell you about the shocking secret recorded in the letter when you first came in, but when I saw Tai Ah Shenjian, my blood boiled. "

It's no wonder, I would have forgotten it, after all, it is the Tai'an Divine Sword, which was jointly forged by two sword masters, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang!It is said that it can cut iron like mud and slay dragons. In addition to the description that all the jade in Kunshan is not as good as a Tai'a in history, this sword can surpass many national treasures.

So it's understandable that Professor Xu was so excited, and even lost his composure.

Seeing that Professor Xu didn't refuse to talk about the letter, Lao Yan's face softened a little.

But seeing Professor Xu take out the booklet from his arms, he handed it to Lao Yan directly: "Look for yourself, this is Xiaozhuan, you should be able to understand it."

Lao Yan took the letter and read it carefully, perhaps because he had already prepared himself mentally, but his face didn't change much, but he was silent for a long time after reading it, and asked a question.

"Old Xu, are you sure that what is recorded on it is true?"

After hearing this, Professor Xu shook his head and said that he couldn't believe it, so he selected other letters, compared them, and found a problem.

Lao Yan asked him some questions.

He first took a look at Tai'a Divine Sword, and then slowly said: "The letters in the previous palace are actually supplements to this Lanchi Palace letter. What I read before is not complete, so I came here. Because Only by merging the letters on both sides can we get a complete history..."

Lao Yan remained expressionless: "So you think it's true."

He used declarative sentences, and Professor Xu nodded seriously. I was a little impatient and asked them what was true or not.

Lao Yan looked at me, then sighed heavily: "Do you remember King Yama?"

I was taken aback, then nodded, I remember, of course I remember, the fact that he used me to lure out the fourth girl has not yet come to fruition, how could I forget it first?

But what does this have to do with him?
I watched Lao Yan's increasingly weird expression, and a thought came to my mind, and then I just felt that I didn't have enough brains.

This is the Efang Palace in the Qin Dynasty. Why did King Yan Luo have anything to do with this place? If he has something to do with this place, what about the fourth girl?
I dare not think about it anymore, are they really not human?
"he……"

"Lao Yan!" I shouted suddenly, Lao Yan looked at me, and I raised my palm to him: "Let me slow down first."

Lao Yan didn't say anything, just nodded.

I just feel that my head is blank, and the only thought is that the fourth girl is really from the Qin Dynasty?
But how is it possible?
Does the so-called elixir of life really exist?

How else would they live so long?
But this is also possible, because the fourth girl really will not grow old, every time I see her she looks the same, and sometimes she even looks younger.

So I'm in love with someone who's been alive for over 3000 years?
It's not that I can't accept it, the key is that if this is the case, how can the fourth girl accept me?
She has existed for more than three years, and she has seen so many vicissitudes. A person in my early twenties is probably no different from a doll in her eyes. How can she see me?

"Tell me." I looked up at Lao Yan, I know some things can't be dragged on, even if I run away now, but there will always be a day when I know, instead of guessing here and there, it's better to listen to what they say now , It also saves me from tangling.

Lao Yan asked if I really wanted to understand?
I nodded and said that I naturally figured it out. The initiative in this kind of thing was not with me from the beginning.

Lao Yan nodded and said: "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."

Then I heard the so-called truth: Four Girls and King Yama should be two officials, one civil and one military.

They are responsible for the documents and guards of the Lanchi Palace and the front palace respectively. The fourth girl is in charge of the Lanchi Palace, while Yama is in charge of the front palace.

The combination of the things they are responsible for is the story of the birth of this Efang Palace, but what shocked Professor Xu and the others was not the records of Afang Palace, but the secret about the elixir of life hidden in it.

The development of elixirs naturally requires records.

Because of the outstanding performance of the four girls and Yan Luowang, they were also selected to participate in the development of the elixir of life.

They recorded the development process of the elixir of life. At first they thought it was just a simple record, but later they discovered that the emperor also regarded them as people who tested the medicine.

Batch after batch of medicines came out, and they ate them batch after batch, but the elixir of life was never successfully developed. Fortunately, these medicines were mixed with too many things, and their properties were also different. They offset each other, but they didn't have any problems.

They were still recording until the last test of the medicine, and then Qin Shihuang suddenly died in the sand dunes, and they took the opportunity to escape from Qin...

There will be no record later, because it is another matter for them to escape.

It is estimated that Qin Shihuang did not expect that the last medicine turned out to be ready, but he died of illness immediately, and the two people who tested the medicine also escaped. At the last moment, he did not know whether he had taken the medicine.

"She...was really from that time? What did you base your conclusion on?" I only felt pain in my heart when I heard that.

The fourth girl, such a cold and aloof fairy, was used to test medicine endlessly!
And that King Yama, since he and the fourth girl had such a similar experience, why did they look like this again now?
Where does the fourth girl refer to the place where King Yan Luo will go back?

Does it refer to the Efang Palace, or the place where they lived after they escaped?
All of this was stuck in my mind, but I couldn't speak it out, I just made the last struggle.
