Chapter 216 Tonic and Test(2/2)

Hu Bayi thought of another question: "Now it is basically certain that this mechanism was left by the senior who built the fish bone temple, but why did he leave such a time-consuming and laborious mechanism in the hole where he entered the tomb?

Where is the agency?"

He found it very confusing and could not guess the other party's purpose at all.

Although the principle of this mechanism is not very complicated, it is still a delicate job to arrange it without leaving any trace.

If the other party is trying to stop latecomers, then why not deploy some violent poisons? Wouldn't the effect be better?

This is only the outer scope of the robbery cave. With such an arrangement, no one knows what the other party has set up inside.

If they couldn't figure it out, Hu Bayi thought it might be better for them to dig another hole.

Not only Hu Bayi, Chen Ziyan also has this idea now.

He realized that something unexpected had happened in this robbery hole. There was no such thing in the original plot.

"Sitian!"

At this moment, Hu Bayi's anxious shout interrupted Chen Ziyan's thoughts.

Following his line of sight, Chen Ziyan found that Ding Sitian had taken out the triangular bag at some point and was now putting it in front of his nose and sniffing it.

Faced with Hu Bayi's worries, Ding Sitian did not say anything, but raised her other hand. The lid of the Xingshen Incense she held on it had been opened.

Obviously, she was well prepared.

Under everyone's gaze, Ding Sitian's nostrils twitched slightly for a while, and then she murmured in a low voice: "Sea lice, mountain lychee kernels, wormwood, red hands and green hands... and old ginseng, cinnamon..."

After a long while, Ding Sitian put the triangular bag into a sealed bag.

Wang Kaixuan was the most impatient. Seeing that she was fine, he asked: "Xiao Ding, do you smell anything?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi quickly patted the guy and said, "Don't pay attention to this guy. Are you feeling unwell?"

He was more concerned about Ding Sitian's body than what he had discovered.

Ding Sitian waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay. Shirley is right. The effect of the medicine has worn off."

Then she took out another porcelain bottle, poured out some powder with a faint bitter smell from it, and motioned for everyone to rub the powder into people's bodies.

After everyone complied, he explained: "I just identified the medicinal materials in the kit and found that although this medicine can induce hallucinations, its real effect is just a tonic."

Basically everyone who is good at illusion is an expert in pharmacology, and Ding Sixian is no exception.

Although it was not as accurate as the equipment analysis, the inference of the materials was enough for her to analyze the true effect of the hallucinogenic drug.

"Tonic medicine?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes widened: "Is it real or fake?"

There was a saying, but it was hard for him to believe it.

"It is indeed a tonic, but it is an incomplete tonic." Ding Sitian expressed her inference: "Maybe it is the main medicine, but if there is no medicine, there will be side effects such as hallucinations."

"So..." Chen Ziyan looked at the powder on his fingertips and said, "Saltpeter is the medicine?"

The moment he came into contact with the powder, he already knew what it was.

Ding Sitian said: "Saltpeter is just one of the medicinal ingredients. There are two medicinal ingredients needed for this medicine. One is saltpeter, and the other is the Honglian Miaoxin Pills mentioned before."

"Then... why do you go to all the trouble to set up a mechanism to release tonics here?" Hu Bayi said with a frown.

Chen Ziyan had an information advantage, so he knew who the senior who had made the fortune was, and coupled with what he was encountering now, he tentatively said: "Is it possible that this is a test? A test for qualifications?"

He suspected that Jin Abacus might have vaguely noticed something before entering the tomb, so he made such an arrangement.

The purpose is to screen out latecomers and eliminate those who are not of the gold-mining lineage.
