Chapter 98 Huang Bai's Old Face
"This mushroom looks horrible."
Li Chu took one look and didn't dare to look anymore. He couldn't help but say, "Chen Lan, don't pick all kinds of mushrooms. Many of them are poisonous."
Jiang Nanxi said quietly, "Oh~ If you poison us, no one will know that you have schizophrenia and almost killed Song Wanwan, right?"
Chen Lan said with an unpleasant expression, "I picked mushrooms for you out of kindness and apologized to you. Isn't that enough? What else do you want?"
"You know exactly what you're thinking. Do you really need someone to point it out?"
Jiang Nanxi snorted lightly, leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes to rest, ignoring Shen Lan.
Li Chu also stared at Chen Lan suspiciously, and deliberately took a few steps away from him, as if the mushrooms he picked would bite people.
[We just had a fight and you picked mushrooms for everyone to eat. Who would dare to eat them? Chen Lan, don't be so funny.]
[This mushroom seems to have an old man's face growing on it. If you look closely, the old man's face seems to be moving. The more you look at it, the scarier it becomes. Where did Shen Lan get it from?!]
[This seems to be... Huang Bai's old face? ]
What is Huangbo Laolian?
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Shen Lan went to deal with the mushrooms himself, then took a small iron pot to boil water, preparing to stew a pot of mushroom soup.
As he put the mushrooms into the hot soup, the strange fragrance in the cave became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Nanxi opened his eyes, stared at the pot of mushroom soup, and then looked at Shen Lan.
It turned out to be Huang Bai’s old face.
It seems her guess was correct.
Under this rainforest, there is an ancient evil tomb that is more than a thousand years old. The human-faced spider ran out from that evil tomb.
This Huangbai old face is a plant that grows on cypress trees in extremely dark places. Legend has it that it was used by ancient Miao doctors to summon spirits, and it has the effect of causing hallucinations and coma in living people.
There will be no living cypress trees in extremely yin places, so most coffins are made of cypress. The most famous and weird one is the Huangchangtichou from the Han Dynasty.
This thing is commonly seen in the coffin chambers of the Western Han Dynasty emperors' tombs. It is mainly a frame structure made of cypress wood, which covers the coffin chamber and the emperor's coffin. It not only has the function of anti-theft, but is also an important part of the emperor's tomb along with the coffin chamber, toilet room, and outer coffin.
It would be funny if these old Huangbai faces grew on Huangchangtichou.
A hint of interest flashed in Jiang Nanxi's eyes. "If that's true, this thousand-year-old evil tomb underground is very likely from the Han Dynasty or before, and it might even be the tomb of an exceptionally noble emperor."
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanxi discovered that after Huang Bai's face was cooked, the aroma became stronger and stronger.
Everyone else in the cave was feeling drowsy, and the old man Hou Xiao fell to the ground with a thud and fainted completely.
Seeing Hou Xiao fall to the ground, Shen Lan's eyes lit up, "It really works. This mushroom can knock people unconscious without even eating it."
Of course he wasn't that kind.
He said he was inviting these people to eat mushrooms, but in fact he was just looking for an opportunity to cook mushrooms.
The strange fragrance on Huang Bailao's face has a hallucinogenic and coma-inducing effect. After being boiled in water, the strange fragrance will become more intense and the toxin will become more powerful.
Shen Lan took out a small bottle from his pocket. This bottle was similar to a snuff bottle. After coming back from outside just now, he would take out this small bottle from time to time to smell it.
Soon, everyone else fainted on the ground, and only Shen Lan was still awake.
Shen Lan's eyes rolled around, and he took out a wooden stick and shot down the drone that was broadcasting live in the air.
The director had been watching the live broadcast and immediately said, "Chen Lan, what are you doing? Why did everyone else faint?"
Chen Lan said, "It's so late, they must be tired and asleep. Director, to avoid wasting the drone's battery, we won't broadcast live while we sleep. I'll turn off the drone first."
The director felt something was wrong, "No, you can't turn it off, keep the drone on."
But Shen Lan still turned off the drone, and the live broadcast of the program was instantly interrupted.
[??? No, Shen Lan, what do you want to do? I feel like you're holding your fart in!]
Those people weren't asleep, they were poisoned! Huang Bo's face exudes a strange fragrance, and anyone who smells it will be poisoned. At the very least, they'll experience hallucinations, while at the worst, they'll fall into a coma and suffocate to death!
[What! That bastard Chen Lan, is he trying to kill us all?!]
The audience suddenly became anxious, and the director was also very worried, so he quickly contacted the rescue team.
In the cave at this time.
Jiang Nanxi had already used his spiritual power to block his breathing, and then pretended to faint on the ground.
Her spiritual sense sensed that Shen Lan had gone out, and there were bursts of footsteps outside the cave, followed by the voices of Shen Lan and two unfamiliar voices.
Two dusty men, one old and one young, emerged from the bushes outside the cave. Not only were their clothes torn, but they were also covered in mud and dust.
But the eyes of these two men were extremely sharp, like hawks, and there was a hint of cruelty in them.
The younger man was holding a bloody Luoyang shovel in his hand.
Shen Lan said to them, "I have done what you ordered. You must let me go! Can I leave now?"
"Of course not. We have to get these living people into the tomb. There's no way the two of us can carry them. Please help us move them."
After the voice finished speaking, another person said, "Is that camera-like thing turned off? Don't let it cause us any trouble!"
"It's closed."
Shen Lan said with a sad face, "Then I'll help you move over there. Once we get there, I'll leave!"
They didn't say whether he could leave or not. The old man just spread his hands towards him and said, "Where's the antidote for Huang Bai's old face? Return it to me first."
Shen Lan took out the small bottle that looked like a snuff bottle and placed it in the old man's hand.
The old man took the antidote back and said to the young man beside him, "Monkey, you and him move the people out and quickly send them to the entrance of the tomb. Use them to attract attention so we can go in."
Remember to hurry up. The Psychic Bureau has already learned that a thousand-year-old imperial tomb has been discovered in this area. They will send people here soon. We must get into the tomb before the Psychic Bureau does."
"good."
They moved the people over quickly.
The entrance to the tomb was a sealed earthen cave. Two men had dug a passage with a Luoyang shovel before, so they were able to come in.
After passing the passage, the space inside the cave became much larger.
When Shen Lan came to this space, he inexplicably felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help sneezing several times.
He turned his head to look nearby and saw that the walls on both sides were embedded with half-human-high pottery jars.
At the very front is a stone door with exquisite black and red relief carvings on it. On the large black background is a blood-red firebird crying towards the sky.
There was no one here except them, but Shen Lan always felt that there were many eyes staring at him in secret.
He quickly said, "I brought the person here for you. I'm leaving now!"
Shen Lan turned around and was about to go back the way he came, but the old man sneered and kicked him on the knee, kicking him back.
