Chapter 68 Underground

  He Ming looked down at the passage below, which was bottomless, but his super vision could see the end, about 70 or 80 meters away. Liu Hua's slow descent step by step was really too slow. He Ming couldn't help asking: "Is there any danger below? Will I trigger a mechanism if I go down directly? And will there be machine guns firing?"

  "No. The end is a door."

  Liu Huagang had just finished speaking when He Ming let out a strange cry, lightly jumped up and directly left the climbing ladder, falling straight down. The speed was so fast that it's hard to describe.

  Liu Hu sighed, and he knew that He Ming was going to cause trouble again. But this guy's body was too abnormal, even on the steep cliffs of Mount Tai, there was no danger, in the passageway, he absolutely didn't worry about falling off and getting killed.

  He Ming felt the rapid speed of the fall, and before he knew it, he was almost at the end. He used Wei Jie Min's large coat as a friction-reducing material to slow down his descent. When he landed, he rolled over once to reduce the impact force, and landed safely on the ground without a single hair out of place.

  He looked up at Liu Huo, who was still slowly crawling down, and at over 60 meters, he took out the four red lights that he had snatched from Wei Jieming's body, one by one, to detect them.

  He took down Super Sonic, what a rich reward! The first red glow was that bell.

  Eastern Jin Dynasty Taoist Bell, value 75.

  This is a strange bell, its maker should be in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, made with an almost magical craftsmanship. It's a masterpiece.

  When you shake it slowly, it can confuse people's minds. When you shake it violently, others and even yourself will feel a headache.

  Due to its long history, you'd better treat it gently, otherwise it will soon become history.

  Look at this bell carefully, there are figures and landscape patterns on the surface, which are very beautiful and realistic. The black and white colors, the exterior of porcelain, and the touch is also porcelain, indicating that the shell of the bell is made of porcelain.

  But undoubtedly, inside is metal, so saying this is a true masterpiece, without mentioning that it can produce magical sounds, just talking about the manufacturing process itself, is priceless.

  He Ming put the small bell into an exquisite box specially used for small bells, which was also taken from Master Wei. He took out the second red light, a leather glove, only one, the right hand glove. It looked very old and had a sense of vicissitudes of life, with a color like tree bark, and the thickness was not bad either.

  What you find is a Hill Giant's Gauntlets, worth 120 gold pieces.

  It should have come from 4000 years ago. It was made with the most tenacious skin of the mountain monster, and a large number of successful and unsuccessful sacrifices were made, so the gloves had bloody power. When you wear it, your hand defense becomes stronger, and your wrist strength +10.

  It is extremely resilient and difficult to destroy, able to withstand low-level flames.

  Note: This glove is too murderous, wearing it will make you brave and pugnacious.

  "Ah, isn't this equipment for gaming?" He Ming laughed, put it on and clenched his fist, punching the concrete wall of the corridor. His fist sank deeply into it, feeling like he had punched through rotten wood. It turned out that he was very strong, able to dig through earth like tofu. With this glove, he felt invincible.

  Awesome! First equipment! He Ming is extremely pleased and has become stronger!

  Wei Jieming is indeed a talented person, able to find such good things. An absolute elite, no wonder he was appreciated by the great Chairman Mao himself. What a pity that he had to go crazy and betray his country.

  The third item was found in the wallet, a small gourd-shaped bottle about ten centimeters in size, with excellent workmanship, and a figure's back shadow in the misty mountains and clouds, giving it an otherworldly feel.

  A red light came from the bottle. He Ming picked up the lid and took a look inside, where there was a golden pill the size of a bullet.

  Congratulations on discovering a red light item, a legendary item, Early Tang Golden Elixir, worth 120.

  This is a magical elixir made by a mysterious person from the early Tang Dynasty. Taking it directly will give you +30 to all attributes and grant multiple traits.

  Longevity: Golden Elixir greatly enhances cellular vitality, you will gain more than 30 years of lifespan.

  Divine aura: Your aura will become extraordinary and attract people's attention.

  It greatly increases your male hormone, so you will become very lustful.

  Boundless Energy: Your energy is boundless and you are unlikely to get tired easily. You recover quickly after resting.

  Warning: this dan pill possesses unfathomable energy, you need a physique of 40 or above to digest it, otherwise instant death. It has successfully claimed hundreds of lives. Hope you won't be the next one.

  Scanning in progress, you can easily digest it, strongly recommended for consumption.

  Another good thing, He Ming didn't say a word and swallowed the golden pill. It seems that Wei Jie Min had used others to test this golden pill before and found it couldn't be taken, but he wasn't willing to give up, so he kept it with him, which ended up benefiting He Ming.

  Unlike eating internal elixir, which requires a long time, He Ming quickly had the feeling that he himself became stronger again. He felt his breathing becoming deeper and his senses more acute. Lightly stretching out one finger was like inserting it into mud, or inserting it into a high-strength concrete wall.

  He looked up to see Liu alive, still over ten meters away. He Ming quickly scanned the last red light, which was a palm-sized bright red jade Buddha. After probing, it was found to be a Tang Dynasty Blood Jade Buddha, worth 85 points. Frequently playing with it can calm one's mind and slow down the aging process.

  The workmanship is extremely good, the carving is exquisite, and the quality is perfect. The surface of the jade Buddha is very smooth, obviously Wei Jieming often holds it in his hand to play with, no wonder it's so well maintained.

  He Ming casually put it in his pocket, and took a look at Wei Jieming's wallet, which still had several thousand yuan and five or six bank cards. However, it was clear that they would soon be frozen by the country, and who knows how much money there was, he might even get half of it himself. There were also Wei Jieming's identification documents, a few passports.

  He Ming was delighted, and after cleaning up, he got a total of one coat, absolutely high-end goods, which couldn't be bought for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. A scarf, also high-end goods, was wrapped around He Ming's neck. An old-fashioned Tang suit jacket, with extremely good material, was put in the backpack. It might be useful for wrapping things. There were also leather shoes and a leather belt, all made of genuine high-quality leather. A green jade ring was very beautiful, with flawless green jade, definitely worth a lot of money.

  There is also an old-fashioned Rolex gold watch on the right hand, estimated to be from decades ago, which cannot be bought even with money. Finally, there is a high-end brand wallet and a high-end pen.

  Liu Huo walked down, and He Ming followed behind him. They continued walking for another seven or eight meters before arriving in front of a steel door.

  This steel door looks very heavy, Liu Huo took out a key and said: "This door weighs 10 tons, is the last line of defense, only one key can open it. This was temporarily given to me by the chairman. And the passage we just entered, the opening time is only 30 seconds. That is to say, without this key, you will be trapped here to death."

  Liu Huo held a peculiarly-shaped metal key in his hand, showed it to He Ming for a moment, and then opened the last door. The mechanical sound roared, and the iron gate was opened. Liu Huo quickly beckoned He Ming to hurry through, and after walking more than ten meters down the corridor, the view ahead became brighter and more expansive.

  He Ming suddenly saw a row of rooms in front of him, from left to right, numbered one to nine.

  "Go to room number one first." Liu Huo said, leading the way to the left, He Ming quickly followed. As Liu Huo walked and turned on the lights, He Ming found that in the corridor in front of the door, another wall was lined with mirrors, which meant that as he followed Liu Huo, his own reflection and Liu Huo's kept appearing in the mirrors, looking extremely strange and even a little eerie.

  Liu Huo smiled and explained, "These mirrors are used to guard against some strange things in the rooms. Because they can't see themselves in the mirror, we embedded mirrors on one side of the wall in the corridor outside the door. Even if they come out of the room, they won't be able to escape. And look at the floor."

  He Ming lowered his head to take a look, it was a peach wood floor, but on it were carved numerous images of door gods, Zhong Kui, and heavenly gods. One side was pasted with numerous talismans, as time passed, the yellow talismans had all turned black, and even rotted away, the lower half had all disappeared.

  Liu Huaidao said, "Isn't it strange? For the sake of some ghostly things, I had to do this, and it seems to have some effect. A large number of exorcisms and ghost-repelling objects were placed on top, and the ghostly energy in all nine rooms was suppressed."

  As he spoke, he turned his head towards He Ming, smiled and said: "Are you scared?"

  "Of course I'm scared," He Ming said, and suddenly saw a ghostly face in the mirror.

  He Ming hastily pointed at the ghost face and said: "Liu Daxi, look quickly, a ghost face."

  Liu shrugged and said, "It's nothing much, it's just trapped in the mirror. But you don't seem to be afraid? I was so scared when I first saw it that I almost fainted."

  He Ming squinted his nose, how to say it, the ghost in the mirror had no light, was white light he feared nothing. "I'm not afraid of those weaker than me. Right, can I take a picture?"

  Liu Huo cried and laughed, saying: "Okay, but you must keep all the information here absolutely confidential. You can't leak it out. You can take some ghost photos and put them on the internet, but you can't reveal anything that damages national interests, especially about this place. You absolutely cannot reveal."

  "He said with a smile: 'Of course! Ah, Ghost Brother, Eggplant! Come on, let's have a laugh!'"

  He Ming took a few shots, saw the ghost not reacting, he went over and knocked on the mirror, the ghost's face finally made a fierce expression, He Ming quickly took it and said: "That's it, be professional, be fierce. Fierce, you're a ghost!"

  Liu Huo shook his head helplessly, he understood He Ming's personality, like ordinary people, greedy for wealth and beauty, extremely impulsive, daring and fond of acting.

  Liu Huo glanced at his watch and said, "We'll head out at three. We still have more than two hours to go. Let's go, I think you must be hungry too, right? There's only frozen food here that we can eat."

  He Ming was shocked and said: "There is still something to eat here?"

  Liu Hua continued walking forward, turning his head back and saying: "Yes, but they are all specially made frozen foods with a history of several decades. I don't dare to eat them."

  "I don't dare eat either."

  Following Liu Huo into the first gate, as soon as he pushed open the iron door, countless rays of light appeared. In He Ming's glasses, there were large amounts of blue light, red light, and some extremely strong red light!

  He Ming's heart was racing wildly as he walked in, just like walking into an ocean of light!

  It took a long time to see clearly that it was a room as big as a basketball court, filled with all kinds of boxes, emitting various blue lights and red lights!

  He Ming saw at a glance, placed in the center of the room a huge skull, it was enormous, as big as a large basin, he didn't have two eye sockets like ordinary humans, only one huge eye socket between his eyebrows, meaning, he was a Cyclops!

  Liu Huo took out a notebook from his bag, ready to take notes, and said: "You quickly take a look at the skull, what's its origin. Archaeological experts say that the skull is from the one-eyed giants of ancient Asia's vast grasslands, before the Xiongnu rose to power, they once ruled the grasslands. Extremely huge, over 3.5 meters tall. Incredibly powerful, can easily tear open a fine horse. Loves to eat humans, especially loves to devour humans alive, listening to their painful screams.

  He Ming said, "Yes, in ancient times there was a one-eyed giant who roamed the area from present-day Siberia to the Huns' grasslands. They liked to eat people alive and were very large and powerful. They used to be the masters of the Huns but were later exterminated by them."

  "What's so special about them? Is there some unique energy or civilization?"

  He Ming shrugged and said, "Big brother, I don't have such detailed information. I only know his origin and function. At most, he is valuable because of his long history, not a treasure."

  Liu nodded and said, "Indeed, just as the expert said, it's just a historical relic. Although it looks big, I can imagine why they were exterminated by the Xiongnu people. I think it's because there was no horse that could match theirs, so they couldn't outrun the Xiongnu people and were shot to death."

  He Ming rubbed his chin and said, "I think the number is too small. The larger body size means lower reproductive capacity and greater food demand. In the age of dinosaurs, the primitive era, this had an advantage, but later, in the collective era, it couldn't keep up with the trend and was eliminated."

  Liu's face was surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to say something so insightful."

  He Ming burst out laughing and said, "Of course, I'm a university student too. By the way, can I take a photo? This one-eyed giant skull is so cool! Can I take a selfie with it?"

  "Cannot."

  He Ming sighed regretfully, shrugged his shoulders, and came to the nearest wooden box. After probing it carefully, he found no danger and opened it. Inside was a wooden carving of a crying baby Buddha, about the same size as an ordinary Guanyin statue.

  Good heavens! He Ming felt uncomfortable as soon as he saw this thing. What kind of master sculptor is this? It's so realistic, with a sense of intangible despair.

  Liu Huo took out another notebook and flipped through it, saying: "The crying female infant. On January 12, 1971, a peasant named Hu Shi-jiang from the outskirts of the provincial capital of Qi Lu found it by a lake and thought it was an artifact, so he brought it home. A few days later, he hacked to death his pregnant wife and went on a rampage, hacking at people indiscriminately. When he was caught and interrogated, he had already forgotten what he had done. Later, when he was sentenced to life imprisonment in court, he learned that he had hacked to death his pregnant wife, and the child in her womb was a boy. Ah, yes, he had three daughters and always wanted a son. Later, he went mad in prison."

  "It feels like something bad is going on." He Ming said, picking up the female infant figurine to examine it, marveling at the excellent craftsmanship, and then the test results came out.

  You discovered a red light grade evil object, Despairing Female Infant Image.

  It was made in a chaotic era, the creator was an extremely intelligent person, he collected the corpses of female infants who were abandoned and died at that time, put carving materials inside, and then took out the materials from the rotting corpse. After many craftsmen died, it finally carved into a statue of a female infant.

  She can confuse people's minds, make them go crazy, kill pregnant women, especially those who are carrying boys.

  She is an evil thing. If you hate someone and he has a pregnant wife, then put this female infant into his house like on a moonless night.

  He Ming was speechless and put back the female infant figurine. He simply explained that it was an evil object, which had no use, and its age could not be determined.

  Liu recorded the information and said, "Her codename is Little Girl in Room No. 1. According to the records above, an expert who studied it thought that the craftsmanship was very good, roughly from the Three Kingdoms period, and must be a cultural relic. At night, he secretly studied it, and then he also went crazy."

  He Ming nodded and continued to open a red light box, inside which there were more than ten blue lights, three or four red lights. With limited time, he first took out a red light, another smiling Buddha statue that could be held in one hand. However, between its eyebrows, it seemed to have an evil aura. He sensed: "It's another evil Buddha statue, capable of bewildering people's minds and killing them invisibly. Made by the villains of the Qing dynasty."

  Liu Huo recorded the information and returned the Buddha statue to He Ming, saying: "Why didn't you destroy these things?"

  "Destroy? They all have mysterious powers! There is great research value, and we can't study and utilize them now. In the future, when technology advances, it may not be possible. This is a country's inner connotation."

  He Mingxiang also thinks so, for a country, there is no good or evil, only benefits and losses.

  He picked up another red glow, which was a golden ball with various strange patterns. Liu Hu explained: "This golden ball was chosen because of its pattern, which can form a sentence: '1945 Hu Yushi calligrapher died in a car accident.' We investigated and found that there really was such a person who died in a car accident in 1945. What's inexplicable is that experts say this thing is a golden ball from the Ming Jiajing era."

  He Ming investigated and smiled bitterly: "Damn it, it's really Ming Yongle's strange golden ball. Its value is extremely high because——"

  He Ming hadn't finished speaking when Liu Huo let out a startled yelp and retreated several steps, landing with a thud on the skull of the one-eyed giant.

  He Ming was slightly startled, having never seen Liu Hai lose his composure like this, and it was because of fear.

  The chairman returned to his youth at that time. Liu Huo's face was full of tears because he was so excited that he lost his composure. After that, Liu Huo remained calm.

  What did he see? Heiming soon found out, he heard a faint sound from the golden ball in his hand, and when he lowered his head to take a look, a bit of black air was emerging from the golden ball, behind him, gradually forming a dark warrior wearing armor.

  The warrior's face gradually took shape, with an evil grin on his face. He had a metallic voice and said: "You two are going to die now. In this room filled with evil energy, my power has recovered, and I yearn for slaughter again. After you die, I will write on the golden ball: He Ming, Liu Huo, January 28, 2012, died of massacre."

  He Ming's reaction was one of disdainful cold laughter. This warrior, who was only at the Blue Light level, actually dared to say to him, who had just taken a Golden Elixir, "I'm going to chop you to death."

  He Ming shrugged his shoulders and said to Liu Huo, "There's a fool who's asking for it!" After finishing speaking, he raised his right fist equipped with the Mountain Monster Gloves and directly blasted the elegant warrior's face, exploding his face, and then a massacre began.

  Liu Huo looked for a while, couldn't help but turn his head around, what a tragedy.

  After a minute, the sound of gurgling water came from behind, He Ming urinated towards the golden ball, his urine contained unparalleled yang energy. The glasses said that this entity ghost was afraid of urine, especially the urine of a man with strong blood and energy.

  The warrior hiding in the golden ball let out a miserable howl and finally disintegrated, revealing the true nature of the golden ball: it was an orange-sized, withered, golden fruit shell.

  After He Ming's probe, he laughed and said: "Killing that idiot just now was indeed worthwhile. This is the shell of a Golden Fruit, it's a treasure, there are four pieces, eating one piece will have an effect on restoring life for about 12 years or more." Then he took out mineral water to rinse it off.

  Awesome! Four pieces, four old comrades! Liu was extremely excited and rushed over to grab them. Unexpectedly, He Ming's hand, wearing a green glove, grasped the Golden Fruit, his face with a very greedy expression. "How about we split it? This is good stuff, eating it can restore 24 years of life! You eat one piece, give one piece to your wife."

  Liu's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "No! You must hand it over. This is a precious thing to be presented to the national veteran cadres——"

  He Ming tore off a piece and stuffed it into Liu Huo's mouth, forcing him to eat it. This nearly 50-year-old man, after eating the Yuanqi Teng and then another piece of Huangjin Guo, transformed into a robust thirty-year-old man.

  "You look quite handsome. Being young is great. Here, I'll give you another one. Go give it to your wife. The other two are mine."

  He Ming smiled and handed over a piece of paper. Liu Huo stomped his foot, furious to the point of wanting to erupt in anger, which was very effective against some high-ranking officials.

  But he knew it was meaningless to He Ming, the angrier you were, the happier he became, and the more exaggerated your expression, the more he appreciated.

  Liu Hua smiled wryly and said: "You take one piece, I'll give two pieces to the chairman. This is the best outcome!"

  He Ming thought for a moment, then agreed. However, when handing over two pieces of golden fruit shell to Liu Huo, his eyes showed disdain and he said: "It seems that you don't love your wife. I've even obtained power for your wife, but you're fine with eating the Yuanqi Teng and the golden fruit shell yourself, without giving a single piece to your own wife."

  Liu's face turned red, this deep and introverted man, who was usually calm as a mountain, had never been seen angry by anyone before, but he lost his composure again in front of He Ming, and said angrily: "My wife is 45 years old, I know she wants to be young! She wants this kind of thing! But some veteran cadres are 85 years old! They have rich experience, quick minds, and far-sighted vision! They are all elites! They have been tested by blood and fire, and are the country's precious talents! I absolutely cannot harm the country's interests for my own selfish desires!"

  He Ming applauded lightly and said: "Good acting skills. I wasn't moved. Your acting skills are better than mine. I need to learn from you how to speak like that."

  Liu Huo turned his head in frustration, this bastard, he would eventually be driven to death by him. However, the next moment, he saw He Ming hand over a piece of golden fruit shell that belonged to him, with sincere eyes saying: "This is my heart's intention, I give it to your wife."

  Liu Huo suddenly felt a little moved, stretched out his hand to take it over, but He Ming withdrew his hand and put it into his own pocket, scratching his nose and saying: "I'll deliver it personally, I'm afraid you'll embezzle it and give it to the chairman."

  "You!!"
