Heaven's Formula

Xia Fan suddenly felt that it would be better to equip himself with an extra golden iron sword.

"These two guys really have a problem." Wang Renzhi cursed, "What ghost paths did they choose! I'm afraid no one has ever been to this place."

"Not necessarily." Shangguan Cai picked off a broken short branch, put it in front of his eyes and looked it over carefully, "From the point of view of the break, someone came here a week ago, and there were quite a few people..."

"How many people say?"

"Don't you claim to be the top ten in the scholar examination?"

"Then... the test is alchemy, and it has nothing to do with magic."

"Okay." Shangguan Cai threw down the short branch, "It's okay to tell you, this is a common judgment method used by military scouts. If there is a small group of people advancing in the forest, the more people there are, the more often the branches will be broken. The more frequently. Because it is impossible for people to maintain a straight line, you will inevitably encounter more things.”

"So there is such a reason." Wang Renzhi clicked his tongue in amazement, "Then... have you ever killed someone?"

Shangguan Cai cast him a glance, "Of course."

Wang Renzhi couldn't help being taken aback, "Did you really kill him?"

"Isn't it normal for you to die and live on the battlefield? There's nothing to make a fuss about. You don't think that the border of Daqi is as safe as a mountain?"

He couldn't help but take two steps slowly, putting some distance between him and the other party.

Shangguan Cai couldn't help but frowned, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you haven't killed anyone?"

"Of course not!" Wang Renzhi retorted loudly, and then suddenly covered his mouth, "Why do you think so?"

"Naturally, you are the second son of the Wang family." She sneered, "There is nothing to hide, a place like the Wang family is so powerful, how can it not have blood on its hands. Of course, I have no interest in blaming you, this is the way of the world. "

"I admit that I have bullied others and provoked many girls, but you said that murder—"

"Hush!" Xia Fan suddenly made a quiet gesture, and at the same time extinguished the oil lamp in his hand.

The three of them immediately shut up and crouched down.

"what's the situation?"

"They stopped."

An imprint on a tree becomes two white lines crossing.

This means the target stops advancing and hides in place.

"Oh, anti-reconnaissance?" Shangguan Cai raised his eyebrows, "These two are considered to have some experience - but that's all."

If you rush forward because you lost your tracking target at this time, you will be spotted by the opponent.

"You think they're not doing enough?"

"Of course, if it were me, I would arrange one person to go forward and one person to stay behind. If there are many people, you can also conduct a reverse search. It is inevitable for an unprofessional team like ours to be discovered."

Xia Fan was dumbfounded, just now who said that he was not a gentleman.

Obviously, she is much more professional than herself in terms of beginning and end.

Another quarter of an hour later, the flash appeared again.

"Okay, let's go. They're moving again."

After walking around like this for about an hour, an old stone gate half hidden in the mountain wall appeared in front of the four of them.

The inside of the stone gate was pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast. Standing at the gate, one could feel the gusts of wind blowing from inside.Judging from the cracked and moss-covered stone walls, this building probably existed for quite a long time.

"Around Gaoshan County...is there such a thing?" Wei Wushuang swallowed.

And Xia Fan looked dignified, the "grotto" that Hu Huairen was talking about should be here.The answer he wanted to find - why the frequency of evil disasters showed periodic changes, and nine out of ten of them were also among them.

"There are only two outcomes. Either you don't get an answer, or you don't get an answer. Either way, it's worse than not knowing."

Li's words came back to his ears.

But in fact, he wanted to say that Li was wrong.

For him, not knowing is the worst outcome.

That means, he will be fooled by this world forever.

"Next, let's see what the magistrate wants to hide." Xia Fan raised the oil lamp and was the first to walk into the stone gate.

Chapter 69 Bronze Casters

The interior of the grotto was unexpectedly deep, and there were stone ladders descending spirally under his feet. With the help of the dim light, he could still see that there were multiple sliding rails embedded in the rock walls on both sides, which were probably used to place movable gates.However, due to disrepair, these grooves have been blocked by moss, and the stone slabs that serve as gates are broken here and there.

Obviously, this place is by no means an ancient tomb or mausoleum. Not only people used to go in and out of it, but they were also guarded permanently.

After walking about 30 meters, Xia Fan suddenly heard a strange sound.

It's kind of like the background noise a radio makes when it's dead, rustling.

It made goosebumps pop up on his back.

The radio is a product of the electronic age, and it could never have appeared in this era, which is why it is so creepy!

Someone from behind tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"What, what is this sound?"

He thought it was Wei Wushuang, but when the other party opened his mouth, he realized that it was Shangguancai. There was a rare fluctuation in her voice.

"I don't know." Xia Fan looked back at her in surprise, "You're not afraid, are you?"

"Isn't it natural to be afraid of the unknown?" Shangguan Cai gritted his teeth and replied.

"But you are not afraid of the previous ghost."

"It's just a physical thing. What's there to be afraid of? You can destroy it if you touch it. It's completely different from the situation here, okay?"

It seems to be quite reasonable.

"Brother Xia, I'm also a little scared..." Wei Wushuang couldn't help echoing, "This place always feels so evil..."

At this time, the rustling sound became louder and louder, from vague to ubiquitous, and the more it sounded, the more it sounded like electromagnetic noise.

This made Xia Fan feel a little apprehensive.

But when he thought that the answer was close at hand, he still bite the bullet and took a step forward.

"Look further down, if we still can't find anyone, we will return to the entrance."

Fortunately, they arrived at the bottom of the grotto within a short distance this time.At the end was also a thick stone gate, but beyond the gate, he saw a swaying flame.

This means that the Du Brothers are not far away.

They finally caught each other's tail!

Xia Fan extinguished the oil lamp, made a gesture of "ready to meet the enemy" behind him, and then pulled out the mahogany sword at his waist.

This also calmed the minds of the other three.

Although the weird voice was still there, since the people from Huzhi County were found, it proved that this place was not as dangerous as expected.

When everyone walked through the second stone gate with their waists bent, and after walking a few steps, the figure of the target finally appeared in the field of vision.

It was a grotto like a karst cave, with torches hanging around it, I don't know if it was originally there or added later.There are several openings around the grotto, but they are not deep, and you can see to the bottom at a glance. Judging from the fence at the entrance, those small holes are probably used as cages.

The Du brothers were busy picking up a pile of clothes, as if they were planning to burn them on the spot, and they didn't notice someone sneaking in at the door.

There will never be a better opportunity than now.

Xia Fan stretched out his hand and gestured three, two, and one in turn.

"action!"

The four of them swarmed up from four directions and rushed towards the two brothers.

The distance of less than ten meters was nothing more than a blink of an eye for the opponent, but the huge background noise covered up the sound of sprinting footsteps. The moment the opponent heard the sound, Xia Fan and others had already killed him.

The two brothers may have learned a little kung fu, but in the face of the overwhelming speed advantage, they didn't even have a chance to fight back.One of them was knocked to the ground in an instant, while the other rolled on the ground and tried to escape, but was hit in the ankle by Shangguan Cai's precise spear, and fell headlong.

A frightening thing happened, and the person who was shot disappeared instantly as if he had melted.

"No, Brother Yin!"

The other person let out a miserable cry. He twisted and wanted to go to the place where the other person disappeared, but Wei Wushuang sat firmly under him, unable to move even an inch.

Such a big living person, how can he still say that he is gone?

Xia Fan hurried forward two steps, but stopped suddenly.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, and almost subconsciously spit out the word "fuck".

What suddenly appeared in front of him was a huge bronze disc!

It is almost five meters wide, and it is placed horizontally in the center of the cave. Because of its low terrain, it was not seen by everyone at first.Inside it, there are more than [-] hexagonal openings, each with a diameter of nearly fifty centimeters, enough to fit an adult. These openings are neatly close together, like a honeycomb made of metal!

In Xia Fan's impression, the largest bronze vessel "Houmuwuding" discovered by archeology is only more than one meter long, but the bronze creation in front of him is already five times that of the former, and the internal complexity is not at the same level.

More importantly, in this dark cave, why is it necessary to cast such a huge bronze disc?

Xia Fan carefully searched along the edge, and soon found the trace of the fallen person in an opening.

Since that person called him Brother Yin, it must be Du Mingyin who fell.

He seemed to have temporarily fallen into a coma due to the impact, and his whole body was stuck about half a meter above the ground, and only his head could be seen from above.

However, Xia Fan soon discovered that there were barbs protruding from the inner side of the small section of bronze wall above Du Mingyin's head, which was obviously designed to prevent people who fell from climbing out.At the same time, he also noticed that brown hard scabs were all over the entire cast "honeycomb", especially inside the openings. Some of the hard scabs were relatively new, showing a dull blood red color under the light of the torch.

This was a mixture of blood and bronze. He realized that the bronze had been oxidized over the years, and the surface gradually peeled off. After these raised surfaces were soaked in blood, they would form scab-like lumps.

He suppressed the chill in his heart, and quickly returned to Du Mingjin's side, "What's going on here!?"

"My brother... can you save my brother first!"

Du Mingjin looked at the place where his brother fell with a look of despair.

"There are metal barbs on the top. If you don't have a handy tool, it's impossible to get him out. If you tell me everything you know, I might consider saving his life."

"No...it's too late. That thing is about to shrink."

"What does it mean to shrink?" Xia Fan grabbed his collar and shouted, "What is that thing for?"

Du Mingjin was shaken back and forth, his eyes were a little dazed.

"You haven't interrogated anyone, have you?" Shangguan Cai came over and said.

"Could it be that you have experience?"

"I haven't done it myself, but I have seen it many times." She picked up the half of the spear at some point, "You can't ask anything with a gentle question like yours."

Xia Fan consciously stepped aside.

Shangguan Cai squatted down, motioned Wei Wushuang to lift him up, changed to a sitting position facing each other, then waved his hand and slapped him away——

"Snapped!"

The force was so great that blood dripped from the corner of Du Mingjin's mouth immediately.

"look at me."

Shangguan Cai took the tip of the gun and shook it in front of him, then stabbed hard.

"Ahhh————————!"

A piercing scream immediately overwhelmed the rustling noise in the grotto.

Chapter 70 The Cave of Forging Evil

"Ah, ah... Hu... Hu, you..." After a while, Du Mingjin recovered from the severe pain.He breathed in heavily, his forehead was covered with bead-sized beads of sweat.

"Are you crazy? Or did the Privy Council let you intervene in this matter? If not, then you are doomed. I'm afraid the huge Shenzhou can't accommodate it!"

Shangguan Cai drew out the tip of his gun again, "I am asking you, not you asking us. Have you thought about how to answer?"

"Huh...I...you...huh..."

She raised her weapon for the third time.

"Stop, stop, stop... please stop, ho... I'll say, I'll say anything!" In desperation, Du Mingjin spit out his saliva.

"It should have been like this a long time ago, shouldn't it?" Shangguancai wiped away the blood from the gun head as if nothing had happened, "Then hurry up."

"This is a place to dump corpses." He gritted his teeth, "but...it's not a pure corpse dump."

"What charades are you playing?" Shangguan Cai looked at him coldly.

"Girl, spare your life! I don't know much. I just discovered this through my daily observations—Master Hu just asked me to bring people here and put them into those cubes!"

The square should refer to the hexagonal "honeycomb" on the bronze disc.
