"Haha, what can happen now? The people in the entire capital area have almost finished drinking the vitality soup. We have already won the victory. There are only a few days left. The Holy Lord's plan will be accomplished. By then, those dog officials and dog emperors in the court will not be able to escape. All of them will die. In the future, the Han Empire will belong to our White Lotus Sect. The Holy Lord will be the emperor, and the Kingdom of Heaven will come to the world. It is just around the corner..."
"Haha, Brother Lu is right. If the Kingdom of Heaven comes, Brother Lu can get a general position, and I can get a governor or something. But we should be careful for now. The place we are guarding is a key place. The Holy Lord will come to inspect it. After dinner, we must not relax during the night inspection..."
"Brother Situ is right. Although it is safe here and no one will come to cause trouble, we still cannot relax our patrols at night. I will come back to check later..."
"Um!"
Two people walked out of the cave while talking. Yan Liqiang lowered his head and just saw the heads and shoulders of two people appear under his feet. The two people were walking and talking. Lu Tianxing was holding an oil lamp in his hand and walked towards the yard in front. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the medicine shop in the backyard.
Yan Liqiang quietly slid down from behind the stone wall, like a gecko, and suddenly came to the entrance of the cave, and then flashed into the cave.
A stream flowed down from the cave, and a rough stone staircase extended into the cave along the stream.
The cave was pitch black, with only the faint sound of flowing water. However, in Yan Liqiang's eyes, it was as bright as day, and every detail was clear. Yan Liqiang walked into the cave very carefully with a burning gaze. There was a layer of moss on the stone steps, and on the moss there were footprints left by the people in front of him. Yan Liqiang looked down, then tiptoed, stepping on the footprints left by the people in front of him, and walked silently inside. After walking about ten meters, there was a bend in the cave. After turning the bend, an iron gate appeared in front of Yan Liqiang, blocking the way in, and Yan Liqiang had to stop.
The iron gate was locked. It was covered with steel bars as thick as duck eggs, just like the iron doors in prison cells. The gaps between the steel bars were not big, but a normal person would never be able to get through. The stream in the cave flowed out through the gap at the bottom of the iron gate.
Seeing the iron gate and then looking at the iron lock, Yan Liqiang frowned. The iron gate and the iron lock were like paper in front of his strength. He could twist them off or open them with ease. However, once the door was damaged, it would be easy for people to find it. If he wanted to go in, it would be best not to leave any traces.
He looked at the gaps in the middle of the iron door again, compared them with his hands, and then he felt relieved. Others could not get in through this door, but it was not difficult for him. The foundation of the Thousand Faces Divine Art he practiced was the art of changing the clavicle shape...
Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and stood in front of the iron gate. The bone joints all over his body made a slight sound. Yan Liqiang's whole body suddenly became shorter and smaller, and his whole body became thin and flat. He almost couldn't hold up the clothes on his body. Then Yan Liqiang first put his head in between the fences, and then his body squirmed like a leech. Finally, in the blink of an eye, his whole body drilled through the fence like a rubber man. After drilling in, Yan Liqiang's bones and muscles trembled and returned to their original state. This degree of clavicle replacement cannot be maintained for too long, and in this state, the whole person's strength and combat effectiveness will be affected. So as soon as he came here, Yan Liqiang returned to his previous appearance.
After walking for dozens of meters in the dark and winding cave, the sound of gurgling water became clearer. Then, a huge cave appeared in the belly of the mountain. The cave was full of towering stalactites and rugged rocks everywhere. A stream of spring water flowed down from the cracks in the stone wall of the cave, forming a small pool on the ground of the cave. The water overflowing from the pool flowed out of the cave, which was the stream. The wooden barrels that Lu Tianxing had just brought in were placed next to the small pool.
There is no doubt that this should be the source of those "spring waters"...
Yan Liqiang walked to the side of the small pool, squatted down and took a closer look. The water in the pool flowed out from the cracks in the rock wall. It was clear and transparent, and there didn't seem to be any problems.
Is there something wrong with this spring water? This spring water comes out from the cracks in the rock wall. Could it be that it carries some toxic minerals from underground or in the mountains
Yan Liqiang thought secretly in his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he overturned his idea.
No, because the stream that overflowed from the pool, after passing through the house outside, also flowed down the mountain and passed through the village at the foot of the mountain, and might be drunk by people and animals. Yan Liqiang came to the Imperial Capital several times and stayed in the Imperial Capital for quite a long time. He had never heard anyone say that the water source near the Imperial Capital was poisonous. When he was running the "Han Empire Times", he and Fang Beidou asked people to collect all kinds of interesting news in the capital area, and no one had ever said that the water in any village outside the Imperial Capital was not drinkable and that people and animals would be poisoned if they drank it.
Looking at the clear water in the pool, Yan Liqiang scooped up some water with his hands, tasted it lightly, and savored it carefully. The water was soft and sweet, much better than many bottled mineral waters he drank in his previous life. The problem should not be with the water source.
There is nothing wrong with the water, so what is the problem
Yan Liqiang stood up from the edge of the pool, looked around, and took in the layout of the cave.
Suddenly, Yan Liqiang's eyes focused, because he saw a large gray-black water tank next to a pile of wooden barrels not far away, which was a bit out of place with the environment here. There was already water here, and it was convenient to get water, so it seemed unnecessary to put another large water tank.
He walked to the side of the big water tank and found that it was covered with a wooden cover. Next to the water tank, there was a long-handled wooden ladle. He didn't know what it was used for. He carefully lifted the wooden cover on the big water tank and immediately smelled an indescribable fishy smell. The fishy smell was a bit like the smell of fish, but different. He couldn't tell what kind of smell it was.
Yan Liqiang looked at the water tank and saw that it was filled with some strange gray-brown liquid. The strange fishy smell was the smell of the gray-black liquid.
The gray-brown liquid was sticky, a bit like jelly that had been softened by glue, and a bit like the slippery mucus on a catfish. It looked very strange, and he didn't know what it was. He reached out and carefully touched a little from the edge of the water tank with his fingers, twisted it in his hand, and felt very slippery. The gray-brown mucus in the water tank was transparent when he picked it up, and it was almost impossible to tell what color it was...
What is this
With the knowledge of two lifetimes, Yan Liqiang was also confused when he saw this thing in the tank. He had no idea what it was. However, looking at the tank, the long-handled wooden ladle in front of it, and the wooden barrels filled with spring water, Yan Liqiang was almost certain that this sticky liquid with a strange fishy smell must be the problem with the spring water...
