After gesturing to Miss Hong to be careful, Chen Wenxuan walked into the entrance of the second floor.
The entrance on the second floor was similar to the first floor, and there was a statue of the King of Medicine at the entrance.
The entrance was no different, so the problem must be in the inner room.
He looked around the entrance and into the inner room, only to see a strange fog lingering in the inner room. In the fog, there was a woman's figure looming.
The woman's back was facing the entrance, and she stood motionless in the strange fog as if she was a dead object, without any aura or movement.
"Paddy Field Clothes?"
When Chen Wenxuan saw the woman's clothes, he felt relieved.
The woman was wearing a paddy field dress, which had only become popular since the end of the Ming Dynasty.
The paddy field garment came from the imagination of the ancient people about the nature of the earth. It was famous because the colors of the entire garment were interlaced and pieced together. It was shaped like a paddy field and was the earliest plaid outer garment.
At the peak of extravagance in the late Ming Dynasty, many women of noble families would even cut a complete piece of silk to make a paddy field coat that they liked, just to get a small piece of material for making paddy field clothes.
This was the second time he had seen Mizuki in this tomb.
Earlier, he saw a stack of paper human talismans on the Mountain Guardian's corpse.
On those paper human talismans, there were drawings of paddy field clothes!
Considering that the woman did not move at all and did not look like a ghost, and that the iron building was tightly locked, the answer was obvious.
That woman was just a paper doll that had been enchanted to steal treasures.
Chen Wenxuan did not care about the serious faces of Francolin Whistle and the others. He directly unloaded the pistol clip.
He took out a bullet from the magazine and threw it at the woman.
The moment the bullet touched the woman, she exploded in the air and turned into a gray fog that scattered in the dark inner room.
"Be careful!"
The three senior brothers and Miss Hong all thought that it was poisonous. They hurriedly took a few steps back, covered their mouths and noses, and stopped breathing.
Seeing this, Chen Wenxuan waved his hand.
"Don't worry, it's just a paper figurine.”
"Paper people?"
Hearing Chen Wenxuan's words, everyone was stunned.
Francolin Whistle reacted the fastest. He walked directly to the place where the woman had been standing and reached out to grab the ground.
Under the light of the torch, he saw that he was holding some paper scraps. He could vaguely see some paintings on them.
"I see."
After seeing it clearly, Francolin Whistle sighed and scattered the paper scraps in his hand.
The old foreigner was the most impatient. When he saw his senior brother's expression, he asked directly,
"Senior Brother, what's going on?”
"This is Paper Figurine Technique!"
Francolin Whistle organized his thoughts and explained.
"There was a corpse of Mountain Guardian in the cave earlier. This paper human technique must have been cast by him.”
"So powerful? You can even get into this iron building!"
The old foreigner was shocked and looked around the inner room, afraid that there was another paper figurine hidden somewhere.
Francolin Whistle nodded." The Emperor will listen to you. Of course, ordinary bandits can't compare to you."”
"Legend has it that the Mountain Guardian used to be a noble clan of Coffin Mountain. He had stolen many Heavenly Tomes in Coffin Gorge and learned the ancient witchcraft. He could command insects and paper people to take treasures for him.”
"Because of their well-to-do family background, the Mountain Guardian did not pursue gold and silver. They fought for the ancient scrolls hidden in the ancient tombs.”
With that, Zhe Gushao said to Chen Wenxuan,""Brother Chen has good eyesight. If it wasn't for Brother Chen's reminder, I really wouldn't have thought that this was left behind by the Mountain Watching Guardian.”
"After all, I was the one who found the corpse. The paper talisman on it is very similar to that woman from before.”
Chen Wenxuan replied casually. His mind was no longer on the second floor.
This was the place where ancient books were placed. On them were records of furnace fire secret techniques and medicinal paintings.
It was precious, but not to his taste.
Compared to these, he preferred more practical things.
It was like an ancient and precious funerary object, a rare medicinal herb, an inner core, and other treasures.
.................
After greeting Zhe Gushao, Chen Wenxuan brought Miss Hong downstairs.
As for Zhe Gushao and the other two, they were still searching upstairs.
He probably wanted to find some precious ancient recipes or clues about the Muchen Bead. After all, the Muchen Bead was related to longevity. Ancient alchemists should have recorded information about the Muchen Bead.
When he went downstairs, he happened to bump into a group of workers who were going upstairs to search for treasures. Chen Wenxuan was stunned and asked,
"Where's my big brother?"
"Second Master, the Head Chief and Luo Shuai are opening the doors of the other three buildings.”
Chen Wenxuan quickened his pace.
It seemed that he had gone to open the other three buildings. No wonder he had stayed on the second floor for so long and did not see his brother follow him.
When he returned to the outside of the building, the second building had already been opened.
Chen Wenxuan quickly followed after the waiters who were holding rattan shields.
"Tsk!"
Just as he reached the door, he hurriedly stopped in his tracks.
There was an indescribable smell in this building, mixed with a trace of corpse qi.
The smell was faintly discernible. It smelled like the Nine Orifices Stuff used on Zongzi. It was very strange.
