Chapter 99 Astringent

Wu Zhongyuan could tell if it was a spiritual stone at a glance. He didn't even need to use his hands. He could be sure that the white jade stone was a spiritual stone just by the feeling in his eyes. When he picked it up and took a closer look, he became more and more sure that it was a spiritual stone.

"This is the fourth stone chamber. Why would he put the spirit stone here?" Wang Xinran was confused and surprised.

"But the spirit stone is indeed real." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran shook his head and said, "I don't doubt the authenticity of the spirit stone. I just don't understand why he would put such an important thing here."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately. He thought for a while and said, "The spirit stone is very important to us, but it is useless to him. The reason why he put the spirit stone here may be that he thinks it is the most important thing to put it here." suitable."

Although Wu Zhongyuan's explanation made sense, it did not fundamentally eliminate Wang Xinran's doubts. Wang Xinran asked again, "Why does he think it is most appropriate to place the spiritual stone here?"

Wu Zhongyuan thought longer this time. After dozens of seconds, he said, "The questions he asked, especially the last question, it is impossible for anyone else to answer them correctly except me. By now, he has been able to confirm The person is me, so he put the spirit stone here and let me get it."

Seeing that Wang Xinran was about to interrupt, Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand and said, "Listen to me, he has another explanation for putting the spirit stone here, that is, the mechanisms in the stone chambers inside are getting more and more dangerous, and he doesn't want me to continue. Go ahead."

Seeing Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui stretching their necks outside the door and looking in, Wang Xinran turned and left the stone platform, "Go out and talk."

Wu Zhongyuan took the spirit stone and the stone box containing the spirit stone in his hand, and followed Wang Xinran out of the stone room.

Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui may not have seen the spirit stone before, so they can't help but be curious. They put themselves in danger and should be allowed to take a look. Wu Zhongyuan handed the spirit stone to Zhang Shukai and inspected the stone box himself. However, the stone box had nothing to do with the storage of the spirit stone. The stone box of the Antidote Pill is different. There is no inscription on the inside or outside of this stone box.

Seeing Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui looking at the spirit stone, Wang Xinran grabbed the spirit stone and said, "Don't look at it, it will scare him to death."

Wang Xinran pushed the spirit stone to Wu Zhongyuan, "Put it away. If something goes wrong, don't doubt that we adjusted the package for you."

Wang Xinran's move was really not a villain's opinion of a gentleman. In fact, Wu Zhongyuan was really worried about handing over the spirit stone to others, but he was too embarrassed not to show it to them. Seeing Wang Xinran return the spirit stone, he just He took advantage of the situation and put it away without even saying a word of defense.

Zhang Shukai handed over Wu Zhongyuan's pistol.

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it and returned Zhang Shukai's gun to him.

Wu Zhongyuan's actions were watched carefully by Wang Xinran who was on the side. She naturally knew why Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze, because only his pistol could explode the gas cylinder at a safe distance. Zhang Shukai returned his pistol because Zhang Shukai was watching. Now that they have obtained the spirit stone, the four of them do not need to continue walking in, but Wu Zhongyuan does not want to just leave like this.

"Take a rest and go out." Wang Xinran said.

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui began to pack their belongings, while Wang Xinran lit a cigarette and stood leaning against the wall.

Wu Zhongyuan was very embarrassed, because after getting the spirit stone, there was no reason for the three of them to continue moving forward, not to mention that the stone chambers after that were very dangerous, but if they just retreated, Zhao Ying and others would be dead, but he didn't The reason requires the three people to rescue Zhao Ying, because Zhao Ying is an enemy agent from abroad and the enemy of the three people.

Five minutes passed quickly,

Wang Xinran threw away the cigarette butt and prepared to leave.

No matter how embarrassed he was, Wu Zhongyuan could only speak bravely, "Just leave like this?"

"I've got the spirit stone, what else do you want to do?" Wang Xinran looked at him.

"There is a problem that we have all ignored," Wu Zhongyuan said. "If he only wanted us to get here, there would be no need to set up the subsequent mechanisms. There should be other rewards in the four stone chambers inside."

Wang Xinran sneered and squinted, "Go on."

Seeing Wang Xinran's expression, Wu Zhongyuan knew that she already knew what he wanted to do, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "You have all seen the words on the outermost stone tablet. It mentioned on the stone tablet that a return gift was prepared for me. This spiritual stone does not belong to him in the first place, so naturally it is not a return gift. The rewards in the four stone chambers inside should be a return gift. The more dangerous the mechanism, the richer the reward."

"Do you want to continue walking in?" Wang Xinran asked with a smile.

"That depends on whether you are willing or not." Wu Zhongyuan smiled reluctantly.

"If the black suit is not inside, will you continue walking in?" Wang Xinran asked.

In fact, what Wu Zhongyuan was most afraid of was that Wang Xinran would ask this question, but he also guessed that Wang Xinran would definitely ask this question. Now that Wang Xinran did ask, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed about being exposed.

Everyone might get angry from embarrassment, and Wu Zhongyuan was a little irritated at this moment, but he didn't act hysterically, but said calmly, "You guys go out, I'll go in by myself."

"You clearly know that you are protecting animals now, and we can't let you go into danger alone," Wang Xinran tilted his head and looked coldly, "Are you forcing us to take risks with you in disguise to save people?"

"No." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.

"Okay, that's fine if not," Wang Xinran nodded seriously, "Answer my question directly, if the black suit is not inside, will you continue to walk in?"

"There must be rewards that are equal to the danger." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Stop rambling for me and answer directly." Wang Xinran looked at him.

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer immediately. Answering this question requires courage. It not only requires courage, but also tests whether it is sincerity. He hesitated because he was guessing Wang Xinran's possible reaction after telling the truth. At the same time, he was also questioning himself, if Zhao Ying was not inside , will he risk his life for the reward?

After thinking for a long time, Wu Zhongyuan shook his head. What his master warned Lin Qingming the most when he was alive was to never put himself in danger unless necessary. This also led to him never doing bungee jumping or rock climbing when he grew up. There is a price to pay for dangerous activities and excitement. Even if something doesn't necessarily happen, the chance of death or injury is much higher than if you just stay on the ground.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan shaking his head, Wang Xinran did not reprimand and ridicule, but turned to look at Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui, "There are two sets of respirators outside, bring them over."

Even before she spoke, the two of them had already guessed that they couldn't just leave. They weren't surprised when she said that, so they put down their backpacks and went outside to get the respirators.

After the two left, Wang Xinran sighed, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"She has never harmed me, I can't leave her alone." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"The reason you saved her is because she didn't harm you?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It's because she hasn't harmed me."

Wang Xinran looked at Wu Zhongyuan again. Although he was looking at him, his face looked much better.

Wu Zhongyuan was not a fool. By this time, he was already convinced that Wang Xinran liked him. On the stone tablet outside the underground palace where the great wizard slept, he had told his modern self that Wang Xinran liked him when he went back to ancient times, but he did not know this. When did the love start? In fact, he didn't know exactly when it started until now, but he knew it had already started.

Once you know that the other person likes you, your mentality will quietly change. When you look at Wang Xinran again, the feeling will be different. There is a bit more strange closeness, and a little excitement and nervousness.

After confirming that Wang Xinran liked him, the first thing he did subconsciously was to ask himself if he also liked Wang Xinran. The answer to this question was almost instantaneously, he did.

Next, he asked himself why he liked Wang Xinran. The first reason that came to mind made him feel very superficial. It was that Wang Xinran was very good-looking. This was his first instinctive reaction. Then he thought of Wang Xinran in the Great Wizard. He helped him escape outside the underground palace and did not hesitate to disobey orders and break his trust. This shows that Wang Xinran is bloody and principled.

In the next few seconds, he was thinking about whether it was appropriate for him and Wang Xinran to be together. Wang Xinran's personality was more like a man's, and had nothing to do with gentleness. She would look at him at every turn, and even wanted to make a move after being choked. When the two of them were together, he He will definitely be the one who gets offended, and may even get beaten. Besides, Wang Xinran also smokes. I heard that women smoking is not good for the next generation.

Naturally, Wang Xinran didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan had already thought about the next generation in these short ten seconds. When he saw him looking at her with his mouth open and his expression weird, he said in disgust, "You don't want us to help you save people, right?" ?”

Wu Zhongyuan came to his senses hastily and answered awkwardly, "Oh, yes, well, you're right."

"What a mess." Wang Xinran looked at him again, his eyes full of contempt and dissatisfaction.

Just this look made Wu Zhongyuan wonder if he was being sentimental. If he liked someone, how could he look at him with such disgusting eyes.

Effortless and fluent, this is a state that can only be achieved by experienced lovers. The emotions of boys and girls are not smooth or natural at all. They are very young, worried about gains and losses, and have no rules.

Seeing Wang Xinran open his backpack to get a drink of water, Wu Zhongyuan also put down his backpack and took a bottle of water. Before finishing the self-heating dry food he stole before, he took out a box and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Wang Xinran didn't answer and responded with a glance.

At this time, the footsteps of Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui could be heard outside the stone room. Knowing that the two were coming back and it would be inconvenient to talk later, Wu Zhongyuan whispered, "It's not that I like her, I just feel like leaving her here to die." not too good."

What is self-defeating? This is not only clumsy, but also very clumsy. Wang Xinran frowned, "Why are you telling me this? It's none of my business whether you like her or not?"

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't be more embarrassed, but fortunately his reaction was quite smart, "I'm just telling you that I have a stand, and I'm not obsessed with it."

Wang Xinran didn't answer and glanced at him again.

It was the same glance, but it contained different meanings and different levels. Compared with the previous glances, this glance contained almost no hostility and hatred.

Zhang Shukai and Lu Jiahui came back with the breathing apparatus and disassembled the pressure regulator outside the stone gate. Wang Xinran sat on a bluestone and smoked.

Wu Zhongyuan unscrewed the water bottle and took a gulp of water to cool down. There were some things he could only think about in his heart. No matter whether Wang Xinran really liked him or not, he would never accept him because he would go back sooner or later. …
