Chapter 334 Minglou is over


Chapter 334: Minglou is over

Mandrill’s body?

Chen Ziyan looked closely and found that just like Shirley Yang said, there were some stitching marks on the sides of these special corpses.

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

The most important thing for them now is to get more effective information from the red-robed woman, rather than worrying about the details of the corpse in the cauldron.

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded.

After all, it’s just a guess that Red Robe Shanpo can’t attack them. What if this thing is playing them?

After all, whoever stipulates that ghosts must have the same mindset as humans, let alone a ghost that is thousands of years old.

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

Seeing that the two leaders in the team said this, the others naturally had no objection.

Immediately, several people restored the removed cauldron cover to its original state in the same manner as before.

After the copper cauldron was restored, Chen Ziyan returned his attention to the red-robed Shanpo. He said to the little green-scaled python:

"Little guy, you Help me tell it that we have shown sincerity and ask it if it knows what is hidden here."

Chen Ziyan did not ask about King Xian's tomb and tomb as Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi said. He didn't need to think about it to know about the treasure in the treasure. Shan Po probably didn't know this, so he might as well ask about Yuhan.

At least this place can be regarded as its territory, and it may be able to provide some clues.

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

After hearing the little green-scaled python relaying the past problems, the face of the red-robed Shanpo with strange makeup turned faintly to a painting 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.

However, Chen Ziyan understood immediately. What the red-robed Shanpo wanted to express was that there was something inside the painted wall.

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

However, although the reactions of others were not as good as his, they soon came up with speculations. Hu Bayi tentatively said: "It means...it should be that there is something hidden in the wall painting, right?"

He thought it should be so, but he couldn't be completely sure.

"You'll know after you try it." Chen Ziyan, who already had the answer in his mind, said without hesitation.

There must be something extremely important in the jade letter hidden in the sacrificial hall. Chen Ziyan will not give up easily if he has the chance to get it.

"Do we really want to destroy these paintings?" Shirley Yang asked.

She feels that these mural paintings have profound archaeological value and would not want to destroy them if possible.

Faced with Shirley Yang's question, Chen Ziyan just said lightly: "Even if the things that can hide King Xian here are not helpful for us to enter the tomb next, they will definitely be better than these murals. It’s more valuable.”

Shirley Yang only hesitated for a second, then nodded and agreed: “Then give it a try.”

It’s the lesser of two powers. She still understood, not to mention that it might be related to their next actions.

In the face of her family's curse, these will have to stand aside.

Then she said: "I'll try to find out the trap."

Although she agreed with Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang still wanted to give it one last try, so that even if she had to destroy it in the end Painting the walls, then she has nothing to regret.

At least... I have a clear conscience.

"Yes, but as soon as possible." Chen Ziyan probably understood what she was thinking, so he didn't refuse, but just gave a little 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 bloodline, he can be said to be the person who knows the most about this thing today, and naturally knows how to use it.

This is the source of his confidence in agreeing to the red-robed Shanpo to deal with these corpses.

Before receiving the bloodline inheritance, he might have been afraid that activating the copper cauldron would trigger other agencies, but now he no longer has this worry.

However, Chen Ziyan did not take action now, but planned to observe it first and wait until he got the jade letter.

No one noticed that just when they were focusing on the painted wall and the copper cauldron, the red-robed flash woman who had disappeared before quietly reappeared behind them.

But the red-robed Shanpo didn’t make any sound this time. Instead, after looking at Chen Ziyan’s Shengqian bracelet with fear, she turned into a ray of light and got into the bluestone bottle. If Chen Ziyan was at this time Looking at the bluestone bottle, you will find that the jade body inside has been completely formed and has obvious female characteristics.

Obviously, the red-robed woman's cooperation just now was not just because she could not hurt Chen Ziyan and the others, but she also had her own plan inside.

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

However, Chen Ziyan and the others don’t know this yet. Although they have been vigilant about their surroundings, most of their attention is focused on the things in front of them.

After circling the copper cauldron twice, Chen Ziyan had found the activated mechanism, and then moved his eyes to Shirley Yang.

Perhaps feeling Chen Ziyan’s gaze, Shirley Yang shook his head gently: “Without the mechanism, this wall is just a simple building.”

In other words , if something is really hidden inside, the only way to take it out is to destroy the painted wall.

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

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

"I'll come!" Wang Kaixuan stepped forward immediately.

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

When Hu Ba saw him like this, he did not forget to remind him: "Fat man, be gentle when you do it."

Although it is inevitable to destroy the painted wall, but it can be preserved a little more It's not a bad thing, it won't take much trouble anyway, just be careful when doing it.

“Don’t worry!” Wang Kaixuan said without looking back. He knew that it was too late for him to get started in other areas, so he deliberately learned these jobs that were more physical than technical.

The process of demolishing the wall goes without saying. The fat man is quite accomplished in this aspect, so Chen Ziyan soon saw the jade box in his memory.

This jade letter seems to be made from a whole piece of jade, about 30 centimeters long and 14 to 15 centimeters wide. There is no carving decoration on it, only a gold edge on the lid. , I didn’t see anything like a keyhole, 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 is not reflected too much on the outside.

After Chen Ziyan looked at the jade box, he put it into his personal space. He planned to wait until he was in a safe place to study this.

Then he raised his flashlight and shined it at the top of the hall, and saw more than a dozen sets of clothes hanging above. There were witch robes similar to those worn by Shan Po, as well as noble clothes, and armors worn by soldiers, and finally What caught people's attention was Shan Po in red robe.

"I said where did this thing go? It turns out to be here." Wang Kaixuan said the moment he saw the red-robed Shan Po.

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

Now that I see it, I finally feel relieved.

Seeing these different clothes, Hu Bayi thought about it and looked at the bronze cauldron: "It seems like there is nothing inside 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 also children's bodies in the copper cauldron.

"King Xian has stewed the nobles and gods of the Yi people in one pot." 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: "The similarities are striking. Whether it is King Xian or King Chuang, not only do they use the same copper cauldron to cook prisoners, but they also use the highest-status prisoners as the main ingredients. , there must be a reason that we don’t know yet.”

She has always believed that everything happens for a reason, and she feels that the reason for this similar scene may be the same.

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan said with a smile: "If what I expected is correct, the reason is probably in the jade letter we just found."

Although he doesn't know yet There is something in the jade letter, but I guess it must be this way, otherwise why would King Xian hide the jade letter in this sacrificial hall.

Hu Bayi reminded at this time: "Master Chen, should we evacuate? This place is not a place to stay for a long time after all."

"Wait a moment, there is one thing left. The matter is not settled." 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, so it is time to complete what they promised Shan Po.

Although he doesn't make many promises easily, as long as he promises something, he will try his best to complete it.

Then he activated the mechanism on the copper cauldron. When Chen Ziyan activated the mechanism, he saw a stream of flames erupting from the mouths of the six beasts at the same time, surrounding the bottom of the copper cauldron. A ring of fire.

Driven by this ring of fire, the black material in the cauldron began to burn violently. In an instant, the entire copper cauldron was enveloped in flames, like a big fireball.

Because the cauldron lid was sealed, they could not see the specific situation, but they could smell the oil and corpses being cooked inside, and they quickly put on their masks.

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

Although he did not say what he said next, everyone present knew what it was, and it was obvious that they also felt that Chen Ziyan This method is a bit different. Rather than helping dispose of the corpse, it is 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 connection between the cauldron lid and the cauldron body, creating a gap, and the flames all over the cauldron body appeared after the gap appeared. , poured into it in an instant. After seeing the flames entering, Chen Ziyan withdrew his long stick.

"Ashes to ashes, soil to soil. When everything inside is burned out, there will be nothing left. Is it possible that you want to take those corpses out and bury them?"

He knew that the copper cauldron had a vent, so it would definitely be able to burn until there was nothing left.

"Then forget it, your method is quite good." Wang Kaixuan said quickly.

The corpses inside had been stored in the cellar for many years. Even though they were wrapped in grease, it was nothing, but when he thought about it, he knew that it would definitely look bad once it was taken out. He didn't want to get close to that thing.

Hu Bayi also said: "That's good. I didn't see that the flash lady didn't react just now. This means that she agrees with our disposal plan."

"Let's go. "I don't know how long this cauldron will continue to burn. There is no need for us to wait here." Chen Ziyan said.

Perhaps because there was no interference from the evil man, the dragon head hidden in the wall did not appear, but even if the other party did not appear, there was no need for them to continue to stay here.

Shirley Yang glanced at the high 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 will probably burn The entire Minglou was burned down.”

She was not interested in how to deal with the corpses, but she did not want to destroy the Minglou because of such a 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 was not worried about this at all. , let alone not easily involving Minglou, even if it does, the changes in the celestial phenomena will stop the fire.

Hu Bayi also said: "The layer of black substance outside the cauldron is probably a kind of combustion accelerant. It will be consumed quickly, and the fire will naturally decrease by then. And I don't think those Padfoots are there either." It will last for a long time. It is estimated that the only thing left burning in the cauldron will be the cauldron.”

I am afraid that the fire in the cauldron will not be extinguished even if it is poured out. After all, it is a cauldron full of grease.

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

Now everyone obviously thinks that this is more appropriate, so she can't insist too much on her principle that nothing is too necessary.

After all, the main reason why they went to such a dangerous place was to get the Muchen Bead that could lift the curse, not to protect any antiquities with research value.

"Let's go, leave here first before talking about anything else." After Chen Ziyan finished speaking this time, he took the lead and returned the way he came.

He didn’t know whether the celestial phenomenon of the black pig crossing the river would come as scheduled, but it was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to see it if he stayed here.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, but just when Wang Kaixuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt like he had hit something under his feet.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that the red-robed Shan Po who had been hanging on the top of the hall just now had fallen down at some point.
