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

Chapter 334
The body of a mandrill?
Chen Ziyan took a closer look and found that there were some traces of stitching on the sides of these special corpses, just as Shirley Yang said.

"Put back the lid of the cauldron first." Chen Ziyan said after looking away.

The most important thing for them now is to get more effective information from the red-robed Shanpo, instead of tangling about the details of the corpse in that cauldron.

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded.

The inability of the red-robed flash woman to attack them is just a guess after all, what if this thing is playing them?

After all, whoever stipulates that ghosts have to have the same thinking mode as people, let alone this is an old ghost that has been around for thousands of years.

So we must take advantage of this opportunity to maximize the benefits.

Seeing that the two leaders in the team said so, the others naturally would not object.

Immediately, several people followed the method just now, and restored the lid of the cauldron that was removed to its original state.

After recovering the copper cauldron, Chen Ziyan turned his attention back to the red-robed Shan Po, and said to the little green-scaled python:
"Little guy, tell it for me. We have shown our sincerity and asked it if it knows what is hidden here."

Chen Ziyan didn't follow what Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi said, like asking about offering the king's tomb and the treasures in the tomb. He knew it without thinking about it. This lady Shan probably didn't know about it, so why not ask about Yuhan's situation? .

At least this place can barely be regarded as its territory, maybe it can provide some clues.

"Hiss—" the little green-scaled python truthfully relayed it.

After hearing the little green-scaled python's recitation of the past questions, the red-robed Shanpo's face full of strange makeup turned quietly to a painted wall not far away, and then slowly disappeared in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Wang Kaixuan asked incomprehensibly as he glanced at the place where the red-robed Shan Po disappeared.

Although everyone can't communicate, there is no need to be so perfunctory.

It was Chen Ziyan who understood right away. What the red-robed woman wanted to express was that there was something inside that painted wall.

Of course, this is because he knew that there was a jade letter hidden in the painting wall before, so he was the first to react.

However, although other people's reactions were not as good as his, they quickly had guesses. Hu Bayi tentatively said: "It means... it should be that there is something hidden in the wall?"

He felt it should be so, but wasn't entirely sure.

"Try it and you'll know." Chen Ziyan, who already had the answer in his heart, said without hesitation.

There must be something extremely important in the jade letter hidden in the sacrificial hall. As long as there is a chance to get it, Chen Ziyan will not give up easily.

"Are you really going to destroy these painted walls?" Shirley Yang asked.

She feels that these painted walls have profound archaeological value, and she does not want to destroy them if possible.

Facing Xue Liyang's question, Chen Ziyan just said lightly: "Things that can hide King Xian here, even if they don't help us enter the tomb, will definitely be more valuable than these murals."

Shirley Yang only hesitated for a second, then nodded and agreed: "Then try."

She still understands the truth that the harm between the two powers is the lesser, not to mention that it may affect their next actions.

In the face of her family's curse, these must stand aside.

Then she said, "I'll try to see if I can find out the mechanism."

Although she agreed with Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang still wanted to try it one last time, so that even if she had to destroy the painted wall in the end, she would have nothing to regret.

At least...with a clear conscience.

"Yes, but as soon as possible." Chen Ziyan probably understood her thoughts, so he didn't refuse, but just mentioned the time.

After Shirley Yang went to study the painted wall, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the copper cauldron in front of him.

Through the inheritance from the blood, he can be said to be the person who understands this thing best today, so he naturally knows how to use it.

This is the reason why he promised the red-robed Shan Po to deal with these corpses.

Before he got the bloodline inheritance, he might be afraid that activating the copper cauldron would trigger other organs, but now he doesn't have this concern.

However, Chen Ziyan didn't do it now, but planned to observe first, and talk about it after he got the jade letter.

But no one noticed that just as they were focusing on the painted wall and the copper cauldron, the red-robed Shanpo who disappeared by virtue of her previous power quietly reappeared behind them.

But the red-robed Shanpo didn't make any sound this time. Instead, she turned into a ray of light and entered into the bluestone bottle after looking at Chen Ziyan's money bracelet in fear. If Chen Ziyan looked at the bluestone bottle at this time, You will find that the jade fetus inside has been fully formed, and has obvious feminine characteristics.

Obviously, the cooperation of the red-robed flash lady just now was not just that she couldn't hurt Chen Ziyan and the others, but also had her own plan in it.

At the same time, this also proves that the wisdom of this red-robed Shanpo is far more than what it shows.

But Chen Ziyan and the others didn't know about it for the time being. Although they were always vigilant about their surroundings, most of their attention was focused on the things in front of them.

After walking around the copper cauldron twice, Chen Ziyan had already found the trigger, and then moved his gaze to Xue Liyang.

Perhaps feeling Chen Ziyan's gaze, Xue Liyang shook him slightly: "There is no mechanism, this painted wall is just a simple building."

In other words, if there is something hidden inside, the only way to get it out is to destroy the painting wall.

"Then just tear down the wall." Chen Ziyan said.

Since even Shirley Yang couldn't find anything, there was no need for others to check.

"I'm coming!" Wang Kaixuan was about to step forward immediately.

He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time!

Seeing him like this, Hu Bayi did not forget to remind him: "Fatty, be gentle with your hands."

Although it is inevitable to destroy this painting wall, it is not a bad thing to keep a little more, anyway, it will not be troublesome, as long as you use snacks when you do it.

"Don't worry!" Wang Kaixuan said without looking back.

He knew that he was too late to get started in other fields, so he deliberately learned these jobs that were more physical than technical.

Not much to say about the process of tearing down the wall, and this fat man was quite accomplished in this area, so soon Chen Ziyan saw the jade box in his memory.

This jade letter seems to be made of a whole piece of jade, about [-] centimeters long and [-] to [-] centimeters wide. There is no carved decoration on it, except for a gold border on the lid, and no key. Things like holes exist, but after Chen Ziyan took it and tried it, he couldn't open it directly.

It seems that this thing still has a mechanism, but it doesn't show too much on the outside.

After Chen Ziyan looked at the jade box for a while, he put it into his personal space, and he planned to study it in a safe place.

Then he raised his flashlight to shine on the top of the hall, and saw more than a dozen sets of clothes hanging above, including witch robes similar to those worn by Shempo, noble costumes, and armor worn by soldiers, and finally What caught people's attention was the lady in the red robe.

"I said where did this thing go, so it's here." Wang Kaixuan said the moment he saw the red-robed woman.

Although he didn't show it, he has been thinking about the whereabouts of this thing.

After seeing it now, I finally feel relieved.

Seeing these different costumes, Hu Bayi thought for a while, then looked at the copper cauldron: "There seems to be nothing in these clothes. The original owner should be the corpse in this cauldron."

Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement: "That's true, look at the edges, those sets of clothes are obviously not for adults."

This is the best proof, after all, there are children's corpses in the copper cauldron.

"Xian Wang is a pot of the barbarian nobles and gods." Wang Kaixuan said with emotion.

"He must have a unique reason for doing this. Strictly speaking, the corpse in the copper cauldron can only be regarded as a semi-finished product." Ding Sitian said.

Shirley Yang also said: "There is an astonishing similarity, whether it is King Xian or King Chuang, they not only use this copper cauldron to cook the captives, but also use the highest-ranking captives as the main ingredients. There must be us in it." Still don't know why."

She has always believed that things happen for a reason, and she feels that the reason for this similar scene is likely to be the same.

When Chen Ziyan heard this, he smiled and said, "If my predictions are correct, the reason is likely to be on the jade letter we just found."

Although he still doesn't know what is in the jade letter, but it should be so, otherwise why would King Xian hide the jade letter in this sacrificial hall?

Hu Bayi reminded at this time: "Master Chen, should we withdraw, this place is not a place to stay for a long time."

"Wait a minute, there is one thing left to deal with." Chen Ziyan nodded first, and then said.

Now that the jade letter has been obtained, there is no need for them to stay here any longer, and it is time to complete the promise to Mrs. Shan.

Although he doesn't promise much easily, as long as he promises, he will try his best to complete it.

Then he activated the mechanism on the copper cauldron, and when Chen Ziyan activated the mechanism, he saw a burst of flames spewed out from the mouths of the six beast feet at the same time, forming a circle of fire around the bottom of the copper cauldron.

Driven by this circle of fire, the black substance on the cauldron body also began to burn violently, and instantly the entire copper cauldron was surrounded by flames, like a big fireball.

Because of the sealing of the lid of the cauldron, they couldn't see the specific situation, but they could smell the oil and the smell of the corpse being boiled, so they quickly put on their masks.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but said: "Master Chen, is your method..."

Although he didn't say what he said later, everyone present knew what it was. Apparently they also felt that Chen Ziyan's method was a bit different. This was not helping to dispose of the corpse, it was simply helping King Xian complete the remaining steps.

You don't need to look now to know what's going on in the cauldron.

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan smiled slightly, and then pointed out the long stick in his hand, hitting the joint between the lid and the body of the cauldron, creating a gap, and the flames that spread all over the body of the cauldron poured in instantly after the gap appeared. Among them, Chen Ziyan withdrew his stick after seeing the flames entering.

"Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes, when the things inside are burnt out, there will be nothing left. Could it be that you want to carry those corpses out for burial?"

He knew that the copper cauldron had vents, so it would definitely burn until there was nothing left.

"Forget it then, your method is quite good." Wang Kaixuan said hastily.

The corpses inside have been hidden for many years, even though there is nothing under the grease wrap, but after thinking about it, it will definitely not look good once it is taken out, and he doesn't want to get close to that thing.

Hu Bayi also said: "That's not bad. I didn't see that Shan Po didn't respond just now. This means that we agree with our disposal plan."

"Let's go. I don't know how long this cauldron will continue to burn. We don't need to wait here." Chen Ziyan said.

It may be because there is no interference from the scorpion, so the dragon head hidden in the wall did not appear, but even if the other party did not appear, there is no need for them to stay here any longer.

Shirley Yang glanced at the burning flames, and said: "The air here is so dry, and the structure is mainly made of wood, if it continues to burn like this, it is very likely that the entire Minglou will be burned down. "

She wasn't interested in how to deal with those corpses, but she didn't want to destroy the building because of this kind of thing.

Chen Ziyan said: "Don't worry too much, don't forget that King Xian originally planned to do this, how could he burn down the entire Minglou because of this."

He didn't worry about this at all, not to mention that Minglou would not be easily involved, even if it were, the celestial changes later would stop the fire.

Hu Bayi also said: "The black substance on the outside of the cauldron is mostly combustion accelerant, which will be consumed soon, and the fire will naturally come down by then, and I don't think those beast feet It will last for a long time, and it is estimated that only the cauldron will be left to burn after a while."

The fire in the cauldron may not be extinguished even if it is poured, after all, it is a cauldron full of grease.

"Okay." Hearing what he said, Shirley Yang couldn't say anything more.

Now everyone obviously thinks it is more appropriate to do so, so she can't insist too much on her principle that it is not necessary.

After all, the reason why they came to such a dangerous place was to obtain the Muchen Bead that could undo the curse, not to protect any research-worthy ancient artifact.

"Let's go, leave here first and then talk about other things." After Chen Ziyan finished speaking this time, he took the lead to return to the way he came from.

He didn't know if the astronomical phenomenon of the black pig crossing the river would come as scheduled, but it was obvious that he couldn't see it if he stayed here.

Seeing this, the others also followed, but just when Wang Kaixuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt as if he had touched something under his feet.

He looked down subconsciously, and saw that the red-robed Shan Po who was hanging on the roof of the hall just now fell down at some point.
