In a flash, I saw something about a meter tall slip inside, and it was this thing that opened the wooden door!
Seeing this, she could no longer hide her horror. She turned to call out to Tian Tian, but the red figure that had been approaching her on the bridge had vanished...
Qin Qing was taken aback, and a sense of panic inevitably arose in her heart. After looking around again, she still couldn't find Tian Tian, and the fear in her heart gradually intensified!
She had always been an atheist, but after her own transmigration, she couldn't help but wonder if ghosts and gods really existed in this world. Besides, the space she possessed was also quite magical...
Subconsciously, she swallowed and gently placed one hand on her chest. The swelling and pain in her left arm made her involuntarily frown and gasp!
She was so excited that she forgot about the injury on her arm, and now that she realized it, it hurt terribly!
At that moment, she seemed to hear a sound, her mind went blank for a moment, and then she looked up sharply and saw Tian Tian standing next to her looking at her, her expression still cold, but with a hint of impatience.
"If you're afraid, why did you come in? If you're after the treasures inside, you'd better be alive to enjoy them!"
Qin Qing sat there on the ground, staring blankly at her. She had clearly disappeared just now... how could she suddenly reappear! It was as if she were hallucinating!
Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, quickly got up from the ground, and after carefully scanning the surrounding area with her flashlight, she noticed the patch of small purple flowers blooming on the stone wall…
Although she didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, this place never sees the sun all year round, so how could flowers possibly grow here? Besides, she had never seen these flowers before, so it was impossible for them to be harmless!
Thinking it over, she quickly walked over, took out a bamboo tube from her bosom, and pulled up several flowers by the roots through her clothes, picked them and put them away, then closed the bamboo tube!
It was just a few ordinary movements, but they left her exhausted, drenched in sweat, and unable to stop herself from breathing heavily.
Tian Tian was startled by her sudden action. After looking at her behavior with a puzzled expression, she realized that something was wrong!
"But what's wrong with these flowers? You..."
Qin Qing looked up and smiled, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I must have inhaled the pollen from these flowers and was hallucinating. When I turned around, I didn't see you coming at all. For some reason, I was suddenly terrified. If it weren't for the pain in my arm stimulating my nerves, I probably would have been consumed by fear. If that had happened, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
A person can do anything when they are terrified. Going insane or hallucinating are the least of their worries. Besides, this place is so dangerous. If she's not careful, she might jump!
Thinking about it, she covered the redness and swelling on her arm. The pain made her more awake, and she felt fortunate, but at the same time, she became more cautious.
Tian Tian was surprised after hearing her words.
"Are you... a doctor?"
Qin Qing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in understanding. She was, after all, a doctor...
Seeing this, Tian Tian didn't say anything more, but her opinion of Qin Qing changed greatly. After all, a capable doctor is rare, especially a woman!
Thinking it over, she walked forward again, pushed open the wooden door without hesitation, and then cautiously turned her body to the side…
The surroundings became extremely quiet. The two waited for a long time but still didn't see any hidden weapons or anything like that, so they slowly walked out.
Qin Qing had just turned off her flashlight, worried that it might stimulate something inside. However, the scene that was now exposed to her greatly shocked her!
Inside a massive hall, a gigantic, strangely shaped flower stood prominently in the center, its roots planted straight into the ground. Its petals were open in a circular pattern, and a long, conical stamen extended high from the center. The entire giant flower emitted a faint purplish-blue light, making it slightly clear in the darkness.
Tian Tian glanced warily at the flowers, then her eyes widened in shock. She quickly gestured for Qin Qing to cover her nose. Qin Qing wasn't stupid; seeing her gesture, she immediately covered her nose with her sleeve and listened to Tian Tian's explanation.
"Corpse-scented Devil's Tongue! According to our clan's records, this thing is not poisonous, but it changes depending on its environment. This place has no sunlight all year round, yet it can grow to such a size. If there are not ten thousand coffins below, then there must be some strange thing that could make it grow to such a size!"
Qin Qing nodded, looking at its roots. It was hard to imagine that such a large flower could grow on such a hard stone wall, which meant…
The coffin is most likely located below!
At this moment, Tian Tian gave a sarcastic laugh.
"So, this is it?"
Qin Qing looked up in confusion, following her gaze. Although the light was dim, the faint glowing light was enough for her to see a pile of items in a corner of the hall…
Looking around, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be full of gold, silver and jewels, and precious vessels!
She hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question.
"Will something happen if I turn on the lights?"
Tian Tian turned around and looked at her, her eyes filled with surprise.
"So you suddenly turned off the light just now because you were afraid of stimulating something inside?"
Qin Qing was taken aback by what she heard, then nodded. What's wrong? Was she wrong? That's how it's portrayed in movies.
Seeing this, Tian Tian quickly recovered from her surprise, but she could no longer look down on this peasant woman! Even though she was knowledgeable and experienced, she couldn't see through the woman's suspicious behavior. If she was incompetent, she clearly didn't know martial arts and had no means of self-defense, yet she was able to safely bring her child across the Qi Kingdom in such weather!
Calling her foolish is an understatement; she clearly doesn't understand many things, even managing to drive a carriage off a cliff! Yet, she possesses astonishing ideas about these very things, even knowing a method of crossing locked roads she'd never heard of before…
"Whatever you want. There's no sunlight here all year round, and hardly any plants. It's impossible for any life to survive here!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing immediately turned on her flashlight…
In an instant! The entire hall suddenly became bright, and its golden and magnificent colors shone in every corner!
Qin Qing was suddenly blinded by the light, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes!
What I saw before me was simply beyond words! The floor was covered with large wooden crates filled with gold and silver jewelry, a far cry from what you'd see in TV dramas.
Even with all the dust covering the small hill of gold nuggets, the golden light still shone brightly throughout the hall! A dazzling array of unique jewels and ornaments were on display, almost too extravagant to be true.
