People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

Chapter 332 Red Clothes and Laughter

Facing Hu Bayi's question, Chen Ziyan did not rush to respond, but fell into deep thought.

If things are really as Hu Bayi said, it means that the direction of consideration of many things will change accordingly.

The simplest point is, if King Xian's capture of the Zhelong Mountain area was premeditated, does that mean that he also hid other inside information when he left the ancient Dian kingdom?
But Shirley Yang thought for a while and said: "If this is the truth, it means that besides the water dragon halo, there must be something that King Xian values. Even in King Xian's opinion, such things will be his success. It is an essential part of the fairy road."

The most difficult thing is to have no ideas, but after having a clue, many times you can get a lot of things just by pushing forward.

Hearing Xue Liyang's words, Chen Ziyan pulled out of his thoughts and listed them: "We have seen a lot of strange objects along the way, including the bluestone vase containing the jade fetus, and the three-legged toad. The bronze letter, the ancient tripod in front of me can also be regarded as one."

But after he finished speaking, he himself shook his head first: "No, although this tripod looks important, it should not be indispensable, and if other things are important, they will not be placed in the gourd. It's in the hole."

If you think about it, you will know that if it is really important to a certain extent, it must be brought by Xian Wang's side. For this point, you can refer to Muchen Zhu's treatment.

Thinking of this in his heart, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the mural again. If there is anything that has the most possibility, it is the square object that King Xian took out from the bronze vessel.

Judging from the mention of such things on the murals by Xianwanghui, we can know that this is by no means an ordinary object.

After Chen Ziyan searched his memory, he quickly found an item that met the requirements, which was the jade letter that Hu Bayi found in the wall of the apse in the original plot.

It's just that the jade letter was lost together with the legalist mirror, so it wasn't mentioned too much in the original plot, so Chen Ziyan didn't think of it in the first place.

Thinking of this jade letter now, Chen Ziyan felt that it was very likely that there was a Dragon Bone Heavenly Book that recorded secret information in it.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan began to look uncontrollably at the surrounding painted walls.

Since he knew that there was a jade letter hidden in the wall, he naturally couldn't let it go, but now there was a problem in front of him, that was, he was not sure which wall the jade letter was in.

We can't just break down all the painted walls just to find this jade letter. The murals here can be regarded as cultural treasures, and he doesn't want to wantonly destroy them if they can be preserved.

Although he himself lacks interest in these things, he has to admit that these 'knowledge' are very helpful to his promotion in the industry.

Moreover, Chen Ziyan is also willing to make some contributions to the archaeological industry if he can.

"You said that since King Xian took that thing out of the cauldron in front of him, would it still be in it now?" At this moment, Wang Kaixuan said suddenly.

He felt that since he wanted to study the function of this thing, he might as well lift the lid of the cauldron and have a look, maybe he could find something.

Anyway, he had to do this sooner or later, so it's better to implement it now, so as not to keep him thinking about it.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while, and he was able to give it a try. Although he knew that there was something weird on the lid of the bronze vessel, as long as he was careful, there should be no problem.

After all, what Hu Bayi said is just speculation, and the existing conditions cannot be verified, so it is better for them to take care of the present first.

"Then try it. Fatty said something right. We can't let go of any clues, so we have to open it no matter what." After thinking about this, Chen Ziyan nodded and said.

"Then open it and have a look." Hu Bayi thought for a while and thought it was good.

Compared with the elusive guess, the bronze vessel in front of me is within reach, so there is no reason to keep looking far away.

Then they walked around the bronze vessel and found that the lid of the tripod was sealed with wax paint, and there was an imprint on the layer of wax paint. The pattern was a criminal chained through the lute. Although they didn't know what it represented, they But it can prove that the seal has never been opened.

"Maybe there may be a mechanism set up here, everyone be careful." Chen Ziyan reminded.

"Let me do it." Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Xue Liyang was worried about other people's workmanship, so she took the Yin-Exploring Claw from Wang Kaixuan who was about to step forward, and prepared to remove the seal paint on it herself.

Others have no objection to this, after all they dare not say that they are stronger than Shirley Yang in this respect.

After Shirley Yang scraped off the wax and tested it with the inch needle on the probing paw, she nodded to Chen Ziyan: "It's ok."

The next steps were beyond her reach.

Chen Ziyan naturally understood, and immediately greeted Hu Bayi and the others, ready to work together to lift the cauldron cover.

Because he suspected that the mechanism would be activated after the cauldron cover was removed directly, he planned to open it vertically.

But the moment Chen Ziyan put his hand on the copper ring, his whole body froze for a moment, and a message imprinted deep in his veins emerged in his heart.

This message was about the bronze vessel in front of him.

Hu Bayi guessed right, this is not a tripod, but a cauldron for cooking.

But this is not an ordinary cauldron, it was cast by the ancestors of the human race in the barbaric era for the ancient god of cooking.

The beast-shaped cauldron feet on it are the totem of the cast tribe, like the Shennong bloodline he inherited, and the tribe's cauldrons have cow-shaped feet as their feet.

After accepting this piece of information, Chen Ziyan's gaze towards the ancient cauldron has changed drastically.

He felt that the origin of this thing was mysterious, but he didn't expect it to reach this level.

At the same time, he also understands why both King Xian and King Fu are like this ancient cauldron. They don't need to know it as clearly as he does. He only needs to know some superficial information to know that this is definitely a supreme treasure.

The utensils used to cook the ancient gods can be regarded as a divine utensil if rounded up a little bit.

"Master Chen, what's the matter?" Seeing Chen Ziyan in a daze, Hu Bayi thought he had discovered something.

But before Chen Ziyan could react, a cold 'giggle' laughter suddenly sounded from the depths of the palace.

The voice sounded like a woman's, but it was as cold as frost, mixed with undisguised and thick malice.

In the quiet and dead palace, such a strange laughter suddenly sounded, which made everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

But after they followed the sound and shone the flashlight, the cold and strange laughter stopped abruptly, and they couldn't find anything.

Several people approached subconsciously, and no one made a sound for a while. After a while, Wang Kaixuan asked anxiously: "What kind of sound is that?"

"The woman's laughter... But it's probably not a person." Chen Ziyan looked up at the top of the hall, and said in an inexplicable tone.

Although there was a 'scientific' explanation for the laughter in the original plot, he is now very sure that it is definitely caused by weird things.

Hu Bayi obviously thought of this too, reached out and took the black donkey's hoof in his hand, and said: "Whoever comes is not kind, and those who are kind will not come, everyone, get ready to do it."

This weird laughter reminded him of a few golden rules widely circulated in the tomb robbery.

Send out the mound seal, touch the golden talisman, protect the body but not the ghost and blow the lamp;
Cellar coffin, bronze coffin, don't come near if you don't have a hard character;
Vertical burial pits, box graves, moving mountains and ridges to walk around;
Fierce in red clothes, dead with a smiling face, laughing at ghosts is better than listening to ghosts cry;
When thinking of these in his heart, Hu Bayi subconsciously read out in a low voice.

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan said in a low tone: "Then what if you meet two kinds at the same time?"

At this moment, under his gaze, the red robe on the top of the hall is moving automatically without wind.

"Which two?" Hu Ba asked subconsciously, but then he reacted and looked towards the top of the hall.

When he saw the red robe, he squeezed out four words through his teeth: "The red-clothed ghost!"

Then he reminded sharply: "Remember, don't look back!"

Although this is the first time he has encountered such a fierce thing, he has heard the name of this kind of thing. This kind of unlucky thing is called "black star" in physiognomy, and the samadhi fire will be extinguished by ordinary people after encountering it. , At that time, it will be difficult to save my life.

This is why he reminded everyone not to look back, because if you don't look back, you may be able to last for a while, but once your own fire is extinguished, it will be really dangerous.

Fortunately, everyone's psychological quality is very good, and each of them has evil spirits around them, so they have a bottom in their hearts, so they can maintain their composure.

Wang Kaixuan stared at the fluttering red robe above, and asked in a low voice, "Master Chen, Lao Hu, what should we do now?"

If it was a tangible and qualitative enemy, he wouldn't even hesitate, but he really didn't know how to deal with such an evil thing.

Besides, if this thing is floating on it, the things in their hands may not be useful.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said, "Let's continue to open this ancient cauldron and lure this thing down."

He is not the kind of character who is passive and beaten, so he wants to turn passive into active!
The appearance of the bloodline just now reminded him that although he does not have the ability to ward off evil spirits like Zhang Qiling, such things may not be able to hurt him.

And relying on the guy in his hand, maybe he can clean up this thing.

"Okay." Hu Bayi immediately understood that it was they trying to open the copper cauldron that triggered the thing's reaction.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that they didn't move for a long time, and they laughed strangely as soon as they touched the copper cauldron.

Immediately, while guarding against the surroundings, several people returned to the position just now, intending to continue the unfinished business.

"Cuckoo~"

Sure enough, as Chen Ziyan expected, the moment they grabbed the copper ring again, that eerie laughter sounded again.

And this time they also felt a cool air appearing on the back of their necks, as if someone was blowing wind on them from behind.

Fortunately, everyone kept Hu Bayi's words in mind, despite the cool wind blowing behind them, they resisted not looking back.

Chen Ziyan and the others acted as if they hadn't noticed the change. The four of them, including Huahu, stood on both sides of the copper cauldron, and lifted the lid of the cauldron with all their strength.

And as the lid of the cauldron was separated from the body of the cauldron, the weird laughter became more and more shrill, echoing in every corner of the apse.

Chen Ziyan and the others didn't dare to take it too seriously. After lifting the lid of the cauldron, they quickly put it aside carefully.

After confirming that no mechanism had been triggered, Chen Ziyan quickly jumped up and looked into the cauldron, and saw that there were white flowers inside, all of them were stripped and washed corpses, including men, women, old and young, at least a dozen of them.

These corpses are piled up together, and the transparent grease that has solidified on it looks like skin jelly. It looks like it has been made into a wax corpse.

"Ahhh-"

Just as Chen Ziyan looked into the copper cauldron, a wailing choked with incomparable resentment suddenly resounded.

Then the red robe hanging from the roof of the hall appeared above the copper cauldron as if teleported.

As the distance drew closer, this time they could finally see the whole picture of the red robe. The craftsmanship of this dress was very complicated, not at all like the craftsmanship of the Han nationality, but more like a witch's robe.

The red-robed owner's body was hidden in the wide robe, only the head and face could be seen clearly. It was a face with thick and strange makeup, a mouth full of fangs, and it was constantly howling harshly!

"This is Shanpo, a barbarian witch!" Shirley Yang immediately recognized the identity of the witch-robed owner, and hurriedly reminded her.

Wang Kaixuan directly raised his gun to shoot, and the hall burst into flames in an instant, but it had no effect.

Those bullets seemed to hit a nothingness, directly passing through the figure of Shanva on the copper cauldron, and landed on the painted wall behind.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan quickly stopped: "Fatty, you can't use a gun!"

There are a lot of painted walls here, resulting in a complex environment. If you shoot recklessly, it's unclear whether it can cause damage to the flash woman, but the splashing ricochets will definitely fall on them.

Wang Kaixuan actually realized this shortly after he pulled the trigger, so he stopped shooting immediately after hearing what Chen Ziyan said.

But he did curse: "What the hell is this damn thing!"

Right now, he only felt terrified and aggrieved. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that he would be in a situation where he could only be beaten but could not fight back.

At this time, Hu Bayi took out a handful of glutinous rice and threw it at it, saying at the same time: "Even if this thing is not a red-clothed ghost, it is by no means a good thing. Let's retreat first!"

He felt that there was no good way to deal with this thing right now, so it was better to avoid the edge first, and come back when he thought of a solution.

After all, it seems that this thing is obviously left by King Xian to guard the apse, so even if he can leave here, it is unlikely that he will leave Minglou.

When Chen Ziyan heard him say this, he said, "Persist a little longer, I have a way to deal with her!"

He is also a little regretful now, patronizing the affairs of the agency, forgetting about Shan Po.

Otherwise, if you have prepared in advance, you don't need to be so passive now.

Thinking this way in his heart, he was not dissatisfied with the movements in his hands, and quickly took out several items from the portable space.
