"Uh-uh," Fei Nian suddenly pushed away the shield in front of him and sat up from the smelly vagina.
He found that he was sitting in a bronze coffin, and what he thought was the body was actually a black fog. When the lid of the coffin was pushed open, the fog quickly dissipated with the influx of light, as if it had never existed. generally.
But the stench still lingered in his nose for a long time.
"Sir, you are awake."
Fei Nian looked around and saw a man covered in black robes bowing his head to greet him.
This man was the gravekeeper, he realized.
There were only a few torches burning around, and the dim light reflected the outline of the place. It looks like a crypt, but compared to a natural grotto, the walls here can be seen with traces of chiseling with knives and axes, and they have obviously been carefully taken care of.
"Is this a certain bronze ruin? Have I left Huiyang City?"
"Unfortunately, I can only say that you are still in Liuzhou," the gravekeeper's voice was very hoarse. Based on the voice, he was estimated to be over fifty years old. "This place is more than ninety miles away from Huiyang City. It will take a day and a half to drive back by fast horse."
How far apart!
Fei Nian couldn't help but be a little surprised - the effect of this magic weapon was really powerful, and it could actually transport people hundreds of miles away in an instant.
He only knew that this device could escape, but it was the first time he had experienced it in person.
By the way, it seems that I was pierced by the listener's flying blade.
Feinian touched his chest. The holes in his clothes proved that a sharp blade had penetrated there, but there was no trace of the injury.
"If your soul is not there, your body will be Ji. For Black Mist, it is easy to make up for Ji's damage." The tombkeeper took the initiative to explain.
This sounds a bit strange, even unpleasant - after all, Ji is a dead thing, and he is still alive. Even if his soul is temporarily dormant, his body should not be a dead thing.
But now is not the time to worry about words.
"I must return to Huiyang City immediately." Feinian said, "Are there any horses here?"
"Of course not." The other party shook his head, "But we can make arrangements for you. After leaving the ruins and heading east, there is a town within five miles where you can borrow horses."
"Are you an alchemist?"
"Rank Six asked."
"How many more usable bronze relics like this are there in Qi State?"
"I don't know about this issue. I can only be sure that all discovered ruins can no longer be used as "soul stations." I have been stationed here for thirty-four years, and you were the first to use it. "
"So you don't know who I am or why I'm here."
"That's not something the tombkeeper should ask about. My duty is to greet every guest who arrives at the inn - there must be something extraordinary about those who can get the secret copper pill."
A man has been guarding the cave for so many years... but still behaves hard-working and loyal. It seems that Qixing has more secrets than he imagined.
Fei Nian turned over and stepped out of the bronze coffin, and suddenly an indescribable pain rushed into his mind! He suddenly covered his forehead and stumbled out for two steps. Just as he was about to fall, the tombkeeper rushed over and helped him in time.
In the midst of severe pain, some hazy images flashed through my mind, and they seemed to have appeared after I was swallowed by darkness—
It is surrounded by high black walls.
The sky is full of cracks.
There is only a square inch of land underfoot, and there is nowhere to stand.
He originally thought it was an illusion caused by being squeezed by the Abyss Ghost, but now when it reappeared, he felt that it didn't seem to be the case.
"Sir, this is a side effect of using copper pills. It will disappear in two days." The tombkeeper comforted him.
"I... seem to have seen something." Feinian shook his head and stood firm.
"If it's an illusion, it's normal - after all, the thing you use involves the original power, and it will inevitably affect consciousness. You don't need to take it to heart."
When Feinian was about to leave after the pain subsided, the tombkeeper stopped him again and handed him a wooden box.
He opened the wooden box and found that there was another copper pill inside.
"this… "
"Be prepared, aren't you?"
Feinian hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the copper pill and put it into his sleeve. He knew that using this thing too much was not a good thing, but if he died, everything would be out of the question. It was the lesser of two evils, and it was not wise to refuse the escape card.
The gravekeeper seemed to have guessed that he would accept it, and laughed softly - the laughter was like a poisonous snake spitting a message, "As for the matters that need to be paid attention to when using it, sir, you should still remember it, so I won't remind you anymore. "
"Of course I remember." Fei Nian frowned and replied coldly. Then he pushed open the bronze door and walked into the corridor leading to the ground without looking back.
After the bronze door slowly closed, the swaying torches were extinguished one by one, and darkness quickly surged back, swallowing up the cave section by section.
The tombkeeper was also covered by this boundless ink color, as if he was integrated with it. The outline that lost support began to collapse inward, and finally fell to the ground, leaving only a set of empty cloth robes.
…
Huiyang City, the compound of the Prefectural Mufu.
The attack three days ago temporarily paralyzed the frontline intelligence agency. Although the ruins of the smashed lobby have been cleared, the loss of personnel and documents cannot be replaced in a short time.
In addition, Fei Nian's whereabouts are unknown, and the reconstruction of the intelligence center temporarily falls on Fei Junzhi.
The State Shepherd's Mansion was obviously no longer a safe place, and he planned to find a hidden location to move the new center underground.
It was already dark at this time, and the sound of banging at midnight had just come. Fei Junzhi put down the brush in his hand and planned to add some new oil to the lampstand, when suddenly there was a creaking sound of the door being pushed behind him.
Visiting at this point, there is no announcement from the guards yet
Fei Junzhi already had the medicine guide in his hand. He turned around and was startled - the person coming turned out to be the missing Fei Nian.
He looked extremely tired and slightly pale.
"Is your kid okay?" Fei Junzhi quickly connected him to the house and poured him a cup of hot tea.
"It's a long story." Fei Nian held the tea cup and smiled bitterly, "How have things been these past few days? Has the information from Shenzhou been sent out?"
"People are dying and being injured. Not to mention collecting information about Shenzhou, even asking for help from Gyeonggi has become a problem. In desperation, I can only use ordinary post stations to send letters. I hope Shangyuan City can dispatch manpower here soon. .”
An ordinary post means that the letter must not mention anything confidential.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm back and things will get better." Feinian said with relief.
"By the way, where have you been these days? And... why did the technique you performed at that time look like... "
"It's like the art of evil spirits, right? This is what I'm going to explain to my uncle next, but -" Fei Nian paused for a moment and looked around.
Fei Junzhi got up and checked the doors and windows with understanding, "Don't worry, there's no one outside right now—"
In the middle of his words, a hand suddenly grabbed his neck from behind and lifted him off the ground. The strength of that hand was so amazing that even though he was a test striker, he couldn't break it at all.
Fei Junzhi touched his sleeve, but his other hand reached out and pinched his wrist tightly.
The force coming from his throat was getting stronger and stronger. Within a few breaths, his vision was blurred and his consciousness was also blurred.
"Heh...heh...heh..."
Fei Junzhi was getting older after all. He wanted to shout, but in the end he could only spit out a few inaudible vibratos from his throat.
Finally, even this sound disappeared.
He calmed down completely.
Fei Nian gently put the other person down, with a hint of exhaustion on his face.
He didn't expect that Luo Qingqing didn't kill Fei Junzhi after he left. Fei Nian was also surprised when he returned to Huiyang City and found that the latter was still alive.
Facts have proved that as a survivor in the lobby, the other party did notice the vision caused by the secret method of escaping.
In this case, he has only one choice left.
This is the "code" for using copper pills.
