Song Yun handed the torch to Ziyi and said, "Don't worry, I'll come up after I find out the situation."
Ziyi frowned and asked, "It's pitch black down there, I can't see a thing. Don't you have a torch?"
Song Yun shook her head. "Some pits are not suitable for using torches, so don't use them for now. I brought a small flashlight with me, and I'll use it after I get out of the cave."
Ziyi knew that Song Yun had a small flashlight, which she had bought when she and her uncle went to China. It was only the size of a palm, and the bulb was quite bright, but it consumed a lot of batteries, so she rarely took it out to use it. She didn't expect her sister to bring a small flashlight here.
Song Yun took out a small flashlight from her trouser pocket, which was actually moved out from the storage compartment. After turning on the flashlight, she put it in her mouth and grabbed the rope to go down the pit.
After Song Yun left the room, someone curiously asked Ziyi, "Why is the captain's flashlight so small? I've never seen such a small flashlight before."
Ziyi said, "We don't have one here. My sister brought it back from her mission in Country Y. It consumes a lot of electricity."
When they heard it was a product from Y country, everyone's desire to buy one was gone.
Song Yun went down the pit very quickly, and the rope was long enough. In just two or three minutes, she was standing at the bottom of the pit. When she shone the flashlight, an underground secret passage appeared in front of her. The collapsed space where she was was completely covered by the collapsed soil, and her original appearance could not be seen at all.
The entrance to the underground tunnel is right in front of us. Judging from the traces, this underground tunnel was obviously dug by humans.
The ground was covered with a mess of fresh footprints, all heading into the secret passage.
Song Yun held a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other, and followed the footprints into the underground passage.
As soon as I walked into the underground passage, a subtle and barely perceptible smell entered my nose.
Song Yun frowned, held her breath immediately, and took out a special mask from the storage compartment that she had made in Lingnan. The mask was filled with ox heart grass.
If she guessed correctly, the smell just now should be the "nightmare incense" that she had seen in ancient books and had been extinct for many years.
Whether it is humans or animals, as long as they inhale the nightmare incense, they will have hallucinations and cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. When the nightmare incense confuses people's minds, it will infinitely magnify the desires hidden deep in their hearts, which is extremely dangerous.
If anyone who is affected by the nightmare incense has a bad heart, there is a possibility of disaster.
Why is there nightmare incense in this place?
Continuing to walk forward, we found that the originally pitch-black underground tunnel began to see light. It turned out that the eternal lamps on both walls of the tunnel were lit. It seemed that they were lit by Captain Ke and his men.
There is such a perpetual lamp and such a wide secret passage dug underground. It goes without saying that this is an ancient tomb.
Captain Ke and his men must have gone in to explore.
The closer she got to the eternal lamp, the stronger the smell of the nightmare incense became. She could smell it even through her mask. Fortunately, there was oxheart grass in the mask, so she was not affected by the nightmare incense.
Thinking of Captain Ke and the others, Song Yun's heart sank.
Walking under the eternally burning lamp, she finally knew where the nightmare incense came from.
The faint fragrance comes from the oil in the eternal lamp.
Holding the mask tightly, Song Yunqi walked forward quickly.
After turning a corner, she saw a half-open stone door at the end of the secret passage. Voices came from the stone door, but because of the echo, she couldn't hear clearly and could only continue to quicken her pace.
While walking quickly, he took out a bottle of Mingxin Pills from the storage compartment and took one pill himself.
Initially treated with Mingxin Dan
These Mingxin Pills were medicines she made from ice bamboo when she was in Sichuan Province. When she was about to leave Sichuan Province, she collected all the ice bamboo in the yard, put some of it in the storage compartment, and made Mingxin Pills from the rest of it, which she also kept in the storage compartment for future use.
Mingxin Dan is mainly used to treat mental breakdown and unclear consciousness. It should also be good for calming the mind, and its efficacy has been verified.
Just as I ran to the stone door, a scream suddenly came from inside.
