People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 217 Human Sacrifice?

"A test of qualifications?" Hu Bayi repeated, and said with some confusion: "Didn't that senior intend to return along the original path from the beginning?"

This was the only possibility he could think of. As for predicting in advance that he would encounter something unexpected, Hu Bayi had never thought about it.

This is too mysterious.

"Isn't it obvious now? The man who broke the thief's cave specially made it like this just for us, Captain Jin. If you want to know what the reason is, then go in and take a look and you'll find out.

." Wang Kaixuan said.

He hadn't thought about it at all. He and Hu Ba had never even touched the golden talisman.

Ding Sitian also nodded: "Judging from the effectiveness of this medicine, the senior should have no ill intentions towards the junior who is trying to make a fortune. I think we can move on."

Anyway, judging from the information she got, the institutions here are beneficial and harmless to the orthodox Colonel Touching Gold, and I guess the other party does not have any malicious intentions.

Although both Ding Sitian and Wang Kaixuan said so, Hu Bayi still hesitated. He asked Chen Ziyan: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"

Hu Bayi was a little wary of continuing on this path, for fear of another trap ahead, so no matter what Ding Sitian and Wang Kaixuan said was true or not, he was not inclined to leave everyone's safety to speculation.

After all, they are now serious and certified people, and they can take care of this tomb openly. There is no need to take risks just because of convenience.

Yes, the reason why they chose to enter from the Fish Bone Temple was to save the time of digging holes.

I thought it would be foolproof if I followed the path that the old timers used decades ago, but I didn't expect that this bargain would be so easy to pick up. I encountered something like this as soon as I entered.

Therefore, rather than continue to step on the trap, Hu Bayi felt that it might be a better choice to find a new place to dig a hole.

"I think... maybe we can just keep walking." Chen Ziyan's mouth twitched slightly, signaling everyone to look behind him.

Several people immediately turned back and saw a stone wall appearing out of thin air once again on the way they came.

This time the stone wall was said to be a wall, but in fact it was just a large stone slab, blocking them not far behind them, completely blocking their escape route.

"Could this be Nao Shizi's hallucination again?" Wang Kaixuan said with a frown.

Although the appearance of the stone wall is different, the way it appears has not changed.

Ding Sitian also reacted very quickly and took out the Awakening Incense immediately, but it had no effect. The stone wall stood there without moving.

clang--

When Chen Ziyan saw this, he stepped forward and thrust out the short stick in his hand.

He was the first to discover the stone wall and was also the closest, so he was the best candidate to conduct physical experiments.

Once bitten, twice shy.

The experience just now is still vivid in my mind. If you want to know whether this is an illusion, it is best to let the results speak for yourself.

But now, the facts tell them that this stone wall is not an illusion.

When the short stick landed on the stone wall, the previous incident of directly passing through the wall did not happen again. Instead, there was a low sound of gold and iron clashing.

Taking back the short stick, Chen Ziyan turned to look at the others and said in a deep voice: "This time it's true!"

He didn't know what mood he should show now.

It's not an illusion, which is something to be happy about, but it's hard to be happy about it being cut off.

This means that they now have no other choice but to go all the way to the end.

Wang Kaixuan shrugged nonchalantly: "No need to worry about it now, we can only move on."

The pattern is now clear.

Unless they dig holes directly from here in other directions, there is nothing they can do with the stone wall behind them.

Even though they were carrying explosives, if they didn't want to bury themselves alive in the ground, they absolutely couldn't use blasting.

What's more, who knows whether the explosives will work.

After all, this is very likely to be a ghost grave. In a sense, it is a manifestation that they cannot understand, rather than a substantial object.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have appeared behind him so suddenly.

Others had nothing to say about this. They also had no choice but to continue walking forward while holding the stone wall.

Even Hu Bayi said nothing and followed Wang Kaixuan silently.

After continuing to march for nearly three hundred meters, Wang Kaixuan at the front stopped again.

As he stopped moving forward, his voice also sounded: "Lao Hu, Mr. Chen, why is there a fork in the road ahead of us, which one should we take?"

"A fork in the road?" Hu Bayi asked in surprise.

This has always been done all the way to the end.

It was said that abandonment and re-opening happened from time to time, but this was the first time he had heard of such a thing as forking a road underground.

Wang Kaixuan said: "Can I still fool you? If you don't believe me, just see for yourself. There are three ways ahead."

With doubts, Hu Bayi wanted to see the situation through the gap.

But as they went deeper, the size of the robbery cave had gradually shrunk. At this time, although their position was not yet to the point where they needed to crawl forward, it could barely accommodate one person, and they had to hunch down.

situation.

So when Wang Kaixuan moved his head forward, the view behind him was completely blocked, making it impossible to see clearly.

In desperation, Hu Bayi patted Wang Kaixuan: "Fat man, you can go in through any hole first, remember not to go in really."

This was the method he came up with, otherwise there would be no way to observe it.

"Okay." Wang Kaixuan responded and got into the hole directly in front.

He just took a glance and found that this one was quite spacious. He might not be able to get in the other two, so naturally he had to choose this one.

After Wang Kaixuan got out of the way, Hu Bayi immediately stepped forward and looked at the three thieves' holes in front of him with a flashlight.

One of these three robbery holes is directly in front of them, and the remaining two are on the left and right sides. They form a relatively regular intersection with the robbery hole where they are.

After careful inspection, Hu Bayi discovered the differences between these three robbery holes.

The robbery hole directly in front should be the same as the one they came in. From the neat and smooth digging marks, it can be seen that the other party should be in a calm and calm state when digging.

However, the robbery holes on the left and right sides are a different story.

Although the technique was done by the same person, the work was extremely rough and the excavation traces were messy. It was obvious that the other party had lost his previous calmness and was in a state of anxiety.

"The methods used in these three robbery holes are the same. They should be made by one person. Not surprisingly, they should be the ones left by the senior who built the Fish Bone Temple." Hu Bayi said what he could confirm.

Wang Kaixuan, who was squatting in the robbery cave in front, asked angrily: "Then what is he trying to do? Is it because there is that kind of stone wall in front, so he wants to escape from both sides?"

"It's not impossible." Hu Bayi was also a little confused.

Then, he said to Chen Ziyan at the back of the team: "Mr. Chen, why don't you come and take a look?"

He has almost developed a habit of asking Chen Ziyan when he is in doubt.

There is no way, who allows Chen Ziyan to give the answer every time.

Then he himself got into the robbery cave where Wang Kaixuan was, and asked Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian behind him to enter the robbery caves on both sides respectively, making way for Chen Ziyan.

Chen Ziyan walked to this fork. After looking around the three cave entrances, he rubbed his chin and said: "With limited conditions, we can't analyze much, but judging from the excavation of these two caves, the excavators must have been there at that time."

It was done in a very urgent situation."

Of course he knew what was going on, and this was the crossroads he was talking about just now, but he couldn't tell what he knew.

I have to use this method to give some reasonable information tips.

"Yes." Hu Ba nodded and thought: "But what caused this senior to do such a thing?"

"He might want to escape from here." Shirley Yang expressed her thoughts at this time.

"The mountain here is seriously eroded, and the inside of the mountain is already riddled with holes. It's okay to go down from the top, but if you want to drill holes from below, it will easily cause regional collapse. I think this senior can

To find hidden tombs in such a place must be an experienced expert, and it is impossible for him to ignore such an important issue."

"But in the face of such hidden dangers, he still chose to dig a new robbery hole. Apart from the reason why he was busy escaping for his life, I can't think of any other possibility."

Chen Ziyan nodded to her and said: "Miss Yang's statement is very likely, so let's analyze it based on this."

"No matter what the senior encountered, but we all assume that he wanted to escape from here, then I think he should have been to the Hades Palace at that time, and probably discovered a problem on the way back."

Hu Bayi agreed with this guess: "This is very possible. It can be seen from the robbery hole in the center that the senior was not in that state when he was digging towards the Hades Palace."

Then, he expressed his inference: "When he was planning to return the same way, he encountered some unexpected unexpected situation, which is why the two robbery holes next to him appeared."

"Then doesn't this mean that the Thief's Cave we are staying in can safely reach the Hades Palace?" Wang Kaixuan suddenly asked at this time.

As a person who is good at focusing on key points, he still lived up to expectations this time.

"That's really what happened." Hu Bayi was reminded by him and realized this.

Regardless of what the other party encountered when he returned, he should have arrived at the Hades Palace before that, and without any accident, he took the same road they were on.

"Ghost Tomb." Just as he was thinking about this, Ding Sitian suddenly uttered three words.

"Ghost Tomb?" Hu Ba looked in the direction of Chen Ziyan and felt that this was entirely possible.

If the other party did not encounter something when they came in but encountered something when they left, then based on their experience, it is most likely a ghost tomb.

This ghost tomb doesn't seem to stop people from coming in, but only blocks the way out when they leave.

Ding Sitian added: "If you say so, then the mechanism just now has an explanation."

Chen Ziyan asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

He was very interested in things that didn't appear in the original plot, and wanted to know why.

Ding Sitian explained: "If the senior was really trapped here by the Ghost Tomb, then if he tried to no avail, he would probably leave something to his companions or juniors who knew his whereabouts, and that illusion

The mechanism may be used to screen out outsiders."

Wang Kaixuan asked: "But didn't you say it was a tonic?"

"It's a tonic for Colonel Mo Jin, but it may not be for others." Ding Sitian replied softly.

It's okay to say that saltpeter will be carried by some knowledgeable local masters, but the Hongshan Miaoxin Pill, a secret medicine exclusive to Captain Touch Jin, is not something that outsiders can carry with them.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the ingredients in her Xingshen Xiang were similar to those of Hongxian Miaoxin Pills, and they accidentally replaced each other, they would probably still be worrying about how to remove the effects of the medicine.

Thinking of this, Ding Sitian suddenly thought of a possibility. She looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "Mr. Chen, I heard you said before that you could remove the ghost tomb. I wonder what method you used?"

"In ancient times, when the ancient cemetery palace was about to be completed, three animals were sacrificed to the sky and three birds were tied to the ground. The rules of this ghost tomb are also the same. As long as you bring the sacrifices into it, it will be awakened.

If the sacrifices are carried out again, the ghost tomb will disappear." Chen Ziyan answered truthfully.

This saying is: three animals reach the sky, three birds reach the earth.

It is said that poultry and livestock can connect the remaining qi of the true acupoints, so in all ancient tombs and burial pits, poultry and livestock must be buried in order to follow the stars and palaces to regulate the earth's veins.

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Hu Bayi suddenly slapped his head and said: "This makes sense. When the senior captain Mojin came in, he must have carried the weapon with him according to the old method of our fighting business.

The bird was used to detect the breath, and then the ghost tomb was alerted and trapped."

But unexpectedly, Ding Sitian shook her head: "The senior was not trapped by the Ghost Tomb. He might have been trapped for a while, but he quickly figured out what was going on with his rich experience.

While escaping from trouble, he also used this ghost tomb to set up a trap."

"Game?" What Chen Ziyan heard earlier was fine, and it was consistent with what he knew. But what is the layout?

Ding Sitian asked: "Everyone, do you know what the oldest sacrifice is?"

Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of something and asked, "You mean human sacrifice?"

Sacrifice has been around since ancient times, but when it comes to the oldest sacrifices, the only ones that have not survived are the abandoned human sacrifices.

"That's right." Ding Sitian nodded lightly, and then said: "Just like Mr. Chen said, this ghost tomb can be cracked with animal sacrifices, but what if the sacrifices were artificially changed?"

Hu Bayi also understood at this moment: "Sitian, do you mean that the senior has tampered with this?"

Ding Si nodded: "The secret medicine in the agency we just met is a medicine that can enhance blood energy, but if there is no medicine to neutralize it, you will probably die of blood congestion in the hallucination, and this will happen naturally.

Become a sacrifice in the Ghost Tomb."

"In this way, after the Ghost Tomb has experienced human sacrifices, it is likely that people will automatically be included in the category of sacrifices. Then it will not be that simple for people who come in in the future to leave."

Chen Ziyan's tone was a little dry at this time: "If the ghost tomb really includes people as sacrifices, then it will not automatically disappear until all the people who come in are dead."

What he hopes most now is that the Wushuang ghost did not kill people in the tomb, otherwise this idea may become a reality that they need to face.
