People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 220 Stone Coffin and Convergence

Wang Kaixuan turned a deaf ear to Hu Bayi's teasing and continued to show off his massage skills.

As for where he learned such a skill, it can only be said that practice makes perfect, and you will get better at it the more times you are pressed.

After enjoying the Fatty Wang Edition limited service for a while, Chen Ziyan quickly gave the answer: "Have you forgotten that besides us, there are also those trapped in this tomb?"

Although I don’t know if those people are still alive, this statement cannot be false at all.

Wang Kaixuan failed to react immediately and asked with some confusion: "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to exchange those people for ransom?"

But without waiting for Chen Ziyan to answer, he shook his head and said, "This is not possible. If we do this, the nature of the matter will be different."

Even though this fat man usually looks unattractive, he knows more about serious matters than anyone else. He knows what he can and cannot do, and he has his own scale in his heart.

If the prisoner really came to exchange for ransom, how to explain it to the police outside is another question, but this was undoubtedly a clue given to the other party.

Wang Kaixuan has been involved in three religions and nine streams for many years, and he knows that many things in this world have changed, such as the moral principles that everyone consciously abided by in the past.

If he really makes a blackmail talk, he might be picked on someday.

To be honest, he would rather deal with these people here quietly than take such a risk.

Hearing Wang Kaixuan talking to himself, Chen Ziyan laughed and said: "What are you thinking about? What are these three melons and two dates worth? I'm talking about the information hidden in their heads. Do you think any of these people are not in this business?"

The veterans here probably have to keep track of the ancient tomb information at the bottom of the box."

The reason why he changed his story to saying it was a hidden treasure just now was because he took this into consideration.

Although it is impossible for everyone to hide something, as long as you can ask one thing, it is enough.

Wang Kaixuan was very smart in this regard and immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant: "I understand, Mr. Chen."

"That group of goods are all veterans with many years of experience, and most likely they have something at the bottom of the box. Especially those places that they can't deal with, there must be a lot of treasures."

Chen Ziyan smiled and nodded: "That's almost it."

That's what he meant.

Hu Bayi said with some worry: "But the risk of this matter is not small. What if these guys deliberately cause harm and give us a dangerous position?"

He knew that what Chen Ziyan said was very likely to succeed, but he also knew that although it could not be said that there were no good people who could stay in this industry for a long time, usually the bad people would live longer.

If he were put in a corresponding position, he felt that he should tell the most dangerous place.

In this way, if you can survive afterwards, you will make money. If you don't survive afterwards, you might be able to bring some people to be buried with you.

Chen Ziyan naturally knew about Hu Bayi's worries, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just said with a smile: "Then it depends on our fat master's methods."

When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, depending on Fatty's methods, I'm sure he can make them explain everything obediently."

Hu Ba said nothing more as soon as he heard this. He knew that Chen Ziyan's behavior must have already made a plan in his heart.

After staying in the Hades Hall for a while and finding nothing, they walked through the stone gate and arrived at the front hall.

According to the layout of ancient Chinese mausoleums, the underworld hall is the most important, followed by the front hall.

There is a saying that goes, "things die like things live."

This shows that in the eyes of the ancients, things after death are also very important, and to some extent even more important than before life.

Therefore, the front hall is generally built to imitate the place where you lived during your lifetime. It can be said that wherever you lived when you were alive, the front hall in this tomb will be like that.

The same is true for this Tang Dynasty mausoleum. The front hall is larger than the Hades Hall, but because the construction was stopped halfway, the pavilions and halls are all unfinished semi-finished products.

Standing at the stone gate and looking around, I found that the basic framework here was complete, but some important buildings had not yet been completely repaired.

There is a small fountain pool on the ground of this underground palace, and water is bubbling out of the spring. The sound of water flow they heard earlier came from here.

Hu Bayi looked at the small fountain and said: "It seems that this is the legendary coffin gush. There is such a special spring in the tomb, which is a top-notch treasure."

Wang Kaixuan stared at the water in the fountain and asked curiously: "Does this water have any miraculous effects? Is it like the water bladder we encountered before?"

Judging from his appearance, it is estimated that as soon as Hu Bay says the word 'yes', all the containers on his body will be filled immediately.

Hu Bayi explained helplessly: "Of course not, the two are completely different things. The water bladder is a rare condensed water of vitality. The spring water here is just an external feature of the Feng Shui terrain. In fact, it is ordinary groundwater.

It has no magical effect.”

"oh."

After hearing what he said, Wang Kaixuan instantly lost interest in the coffin.

Because the stone gate of the underground palace had been completely sealed, after staying here for a while, the group of them returned along the original route and went to the back hall and the side halls on both sides to have a look. Unfortunately, they were as empty as the Hades Palace.

.

After returning to the Hades Palace again, Wang Kaixuan suddenly asked: "That's not right, Mr. Chen, we have looked around this tomb, why don't we see the shadows of the Wushuang brothers and those people?"

He only suddenly realized this now.

Others were also reminded by him and looked at Chen Ziyan, wanting to hear what he would say.

Just like Wang Kaixuan said, they have already visited this tomb once, and the only remaining area is the outer area sealed outside the stone gate. Is it possible that Wushuang Ghost and others are there?

"Look there."

Chen Ziyan did not answer this question directly, but pointed to the southeast corner of the Hades Hall.

Everyone followed his guidance and saw a tall, vague figure appearing in the corner that was empty just now.

Due to the angle, the light of the flashlight was only slightly refracted, so I could barely see the outline of a human figure, but couldn't see it more clearly.

At this time, they were standing at the stone gate of the side hall and the underworld hall. Because of the distance, the figure looked extremely strange.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the figure and asked tentatively: "Brother Wushuang, is that you?"

A figure suddenly appeared here, and the first thing he thought of was the Wushuang ghost who had already come down.

As for the other people, their height doesn't fit the bill.

But there was no response from the other party, and the only answer to him was silence.

After waiting for a while, when he saw that the person was still motionless, Wang Kaixuan was heartbroken and turned his flashlight to shine on him.

He wants to see what it is, and it's just playing tricks with him here!

Anyway, they now have a large number of people, and they all have weapons at their side. No matter what the opponent is, if they don't say anything, then they can see what happens for themselves.

However, under the illumination of the flashlight, what appeared was not a person, but a simple stone statue.

Behind the stone statue, there was a huge stone coffin. However, all their attention was previously attracted by the stone statue, so they did not notice the lower stone coffin.

"Hey, there's a stone coffin popping up here?" Wang Kaixuan's attention was immediately attracted by the stone coffin.

They had carefully inspected this before. At that time, except for the half-finished murals on the walls, there was absolutely nothing in the Hades Palace.

Why did I go out for a walk and come back, and these two things suddenly appeared?

Hu Bayi, on the other hand, was relatively calm and said thoughtfully: "This stone coffin should not be from the Tang Dynasty tomb, but from the ghost tomb."

The cloud and thunder patterns on the base of this stone coffin clearly prove this point.

While speaking, he slowly came closer and carefully looked at the stone coffin that suddenly appeared.

The stone coffin was gray in color, about 3.5 meters long and 1.7 meters high. The whole body was made of whole stone. There was a giant relief sculpture of a human face on the four sides of the coffin body and on the cover.

These human face reliefs seem to be the decoration of stone coffins. The carvings are clear and detailed. At first glance, they look like ordinary people, except that the ears are slightly larger, the eyes are straight, and there is no expression on the face.

Even though I knew it was a stone sculpture, it still gave people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

As he got closer to the stone coffin, the throbbing in Hu Bayi's heart became heavier.

It was as if a voice kept reminding him not to approach the stone coffin again.

As Hu Bayi set off, others followed.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the strange-looking stone coffin and said, "Why does this thing look so evil? I think something related to the ghost tomb is abnormal."

The cold feeling faintly emanating from the stone coffin not only made Hu Bayi feel bad, but also made Wang Kaixuan, who was always greedy for money, feel wary.

He no longer had the intention of opening a museum to collect treasures when he first saw the stone coffin, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from this thing.

Given his character, one can imagine how strange this stone coffin is.

Chen Ziyan was also staring closely at the stone coffin. If he was most curious about something in the tomb before, it was undoubtedly the stone coffin from the Ghost Tomb in front of him.

In the original plot, after weighing the pros and cons, Hu Bayi and others chose to stay away from the sudden appearance of the stone coffin.

But Chen Ziyan wanted to open the coffin and take a look to see what was inside.

However, the matter of opening the coffin was not urgent at this time. He planned to wait until he reunited with the Wushuang Ghost before taking action.

If there really are any old rice dumplings here, it will be easy to deal with them then.

Perhaps aware of Chen Ziyan's intention, Hu Bayi said quickly: "I think we should avoid causing trouble. Let's go find Brother Wushuang as soon as possible."

Wang Kaixuan also responded from the side: "Yes, I guess they ran outside the underground palace. Let's go back down and dig a hole outside. We should be able to find them soon."

Although Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian did not speak, the silence at this time represented recognition.

Shirley Yang is actually okay, she hasn't experienced many adventures yet, so her sense of danger is not yet sensitive.

Ding Sitian had experienced many hardships, and the first time she saw this stone coffin, she already felt a strong sense of threat.

However, Hu Bayi had already taken the initiative to propose leaving, so she didn't say anything more.

"Okay, let's go find Wushuang first." Chen Ziyan did not refuse, after all, that was what he originally thought.

But as luck would have it, just when they were about to descend to the Robber's Cave again, a head suddenly popped up from below.

This sudden scene really startled them. If Chen Ziyan hadn't stopped him quickly with his quick eyes and hands, Wang Kaixuan's engineer shovel would have hit them.

After they calmed down and looked again, everyone realized that the head that suddenly popped out of the thief's cave was the Wushuang ghost we just talked about.

"Brother Wushuang, do you know what it means to scare people to death?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but complain after seeing clearly.

However, Wushuang Guili ignored him and remained as silent as ever.

His eyes scanned the people in front of him, and after lingering on Chen Ziyan for a moment, he took the one he had with him up first, and then got out directly.

The Wushuang Ghost's next move made others instantly forget to ask why he was in the robbery cave.

After coming out, Wushuang Ghost had a rope tied to his wrist. After standing at the entrance of the robbery cave, he grabbed the rope and lifted it, and more than a dozen people slipped out one after another.

These people are obviously the people who followed them before, but I don't know if these are the only ones trapped, or if these are the only ones trapped.

Although these people do not look like they are hurt, their mental outlook is generally very poor, and their faces are full of exhaustion.

Moreover, Chen Ziyan also found that after seeing himself and others, these people unexpectedly showed a hint of joy, which he did not understand.

But he didn't show it, but stood there quietly, watching Wushuang Ghost take the prisoners out of the robbery cave one by one.

After the last person appeared, he got an accurate number.

Seventeen!

There are a total of seventeen prisoners of the Wushuang Ghost.

This number is not large, but rather too small.

You must know that except for those who stayed above, everyone who followed them went underground. The number of people is far more than these. The number must be at least doubled, or even tripled.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan frowned slightly, maybe something he didn't want to see happened.

At this moment, the wooden box that Wushuang Ghost had put aside suddenly opened a gap from the inside, and then a small and exquisite figure came out of it and went straight into Chen Ziyan's arms.

It was the second level of protection originally arranged by Chen Ziyan, his spirit weasel - Little Fairy Girl.

After firmly catching the little fairy girl in his arms, Chen Ziyan gently scratched her chin and asked in a low voice the doubts in his heart: "Have you only met so many people since you came down?"

"Squeak——" The little fairy squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, and at the same time she told Chen Ziyan about their experience.

After listening to the little fairy's description, Chen Ziyan felt a little relieved, but also had new doubts.

Because the little fairy told him that the only people who entered the tomb...or were trapped in the ghost tomb were the seventeen in front of him, and the others had not appeared.

For some reason, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of those people hiding in the underground passage. He had a hunch that the reason for this unexpected change might be those people.

But he has no clue as to what the specific connection is, so he has no way of knowing yet.

Then he continued to ask some questions.

Only then did they learn that after Wushuanggui and the others went underground, they first walked in the underground passage for a while, and then came to the outer area of ​​the underground palace.

After arriving here, they entered a very ancient tomb without knowing it.

After Wushuang Ghost took care of the dummies, he arrested the people who entered the Ghost Tomb one by one, and then found a tomb to wait for the arrival of the owner, Chen Ziyan.

But just now, the scene they were in changed again, and a hole appeared out of thin air on the top of the tomb.

At the same time that the cave entrance appeared, Wushuanggui and Xiaoxiangu felt the presence of Chen Ziyan, which led to the scene just now.
