People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 243 Mummy

After a strange silence, several people glanced at each other subconsciously.

Wang Kaixuan then said: "You guys wait here for a while and let the fat man go take a look before we talk."

After saying that, he wanted to go down the steps and take a closer look at the situation.

But before Wang Kaixuan's raised foot could come down, he was stopped by Hu Bayi next to him.

"Fat man, just stay calm and forget about your strange attraction."

After Hu Bayi stopped Wang Kaixuan, he had already left first.

He has not forgotten his brother's strange attraction to men with dark faces.

Let him check the situation. Nothing is wrong but he is fine. But if something goes wrong, the probability of something happening is definitely the highest among everyone present.

After Wang Kaixuan was stopped, he wanted to say something, but Hu Bayi didn't give him this chance at all. He walked down the steps in a few steps and headed towards the nearest man with a black face.

Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan had no choice but to hold back his words. In this situation, he did not dare to speak too loudly, as it would undoubtedly be a trap for Hu Bayi from the side.

Under the watchful eyes of several people, Hu Bayi slowly approached the nearest giant black cockroach.

Because of the angle, Chen Ziyan and the others could not see the specific situation here. They only saw Hu Bayi turning twice in front of the giant black cockroach, and his expression suddenly changed.

Then he walked to the black cockroach next to him, took a look, and then quickly returned along the way he came.

"Lao Hu, what did you find?" Chen Ziyan asked immediately when Hu Bayi approached.

From the change in Hu Bayi's expression just now, we knew that he must have discovered something.

When Hu Bayi heard Chen Ziyan's question, he didn't know how to express it. After thinking about it, he said: "Mr. Chen, these black cockroaches are all dead. You should go and see for yourself what happened."

When Chen Ziyan heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and walked down the steps.

He wanted to see what was going on, which Hu Bayi didn't know how to describe.

When Chen Ziyan walked down the steps and came to a giant black cockroach, he instantly understood why Hu Bayi said that.

The giant black clam lying on the ground was already lifeless, and a hole the size of a washbasin was opened on its head.

Then Chen Ziyan looked around and found that the giant black cockroaches around him all looked the same.

As for the farther places, he couldn't see it, but it looked like it was not much different from here.

Although there is no more evidence, just look at the size of the hole and the tide of weird spiders just now.

Chen Ziyan had reason to suspect that this hole should be the work of the other party.

At the same time, Chen Ziyan also wanted to understand something.

That is the true form of these giant black clams, most likely those weird spiders the size of washbasins just now.

Compared with Hu Bayi's thinking mode that is limited by the times, Chen Ziyan's receptive ability is extremely strong.

He had long concluded that the way Sheng Ji lived to this day was the symbiosis between humans and animals, and the animals she lived with were arachnids.

However, he previously thought that this symbiotic spider was a alien species like the black human-faced spider, but now it seems that his guess was wrong. In fact, this weird spider is the real symbiotic beast.

The role of these black cockroaches is more like acting as guards.

This makes sense, why Sheng Ji would give up such a black pussy without hesitation. It turns out that it is not that important to her.

"Master Chen, have you discovered anything?" Hu Bayi had been following Chen Ziyan. Seeing his thoughtful expression, he knew he must have thought of something.

"There are some small discoveries, but we will talk about this in detail when we go back. It's better to get out of here now. All the black cockroaches here are probably dead." Chen Ziyan didn't talk about the symbiosis of humans and animals, so he didn't explain himself in detail.

discovery.

He planned to find an opportunity to talk about these things after he finished dealing with matters in the capital.

After hearing Chen Ziyan say that he was about to leave, Ding Sitian said: "We can't leave now, we have to find the bronze door."

This is her mission, how could she give up halfway like this?

What's more, now that the threat of black cockroaches has been eliminated, we can search more calmly.

"There is no need to look any further. We have already found the bronze door. Look back at the wall behind you." Chen Ziyan said.

In fact, the moment he got the Ghost Seal, he already knew the specific location of the Bronze Gate, but he didn't have time to tell it yet.

After all, this ghost seal is, in a sense, the key to opening the bronze door.

Not only Ding Sitian, but also everyone else subconsciously looked back when they heard what Chen Ziyan said.

At first they didn't see any clues, but after careful observation, they soon discovered something was wrong.

There is no wall behind this temple. It is clearly a huge door that is tightly closed.

It's just that the scale of this giant gate is too huge, so they didn't discover it at the first time.

There was no need to verify it at close range. Ding Sitian and others knew that this was the bronze door they were looking for.

Wang Kaixuan looked at the huge bronze door and couldn't help but said: "Dear me, who has such a big door?"

I didn't realize it when I saw the mural before, but now after seeing the real thing with my own eyes, I realized that the mural was still a painting.

Hu Bayi didn't pay much attention to the bronze door. Instead, he looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Mr. Chen, have you seen this giant bronze door elsewhere?"

He felt that Chen Ziyan acted too familiar and calm, as if he had seen this thing more than once.

Chen Ziyan shook his head gently: "I know this bronze door exists, but this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."

Little did he know that the reason why Chen Ziyan was so calm was because in his heart, the bronze door was a very magical thing, and its huge size alone would not shock him.

Ding Sitian looked at the bronze door and subconsciously wanted to get closer, but she just took two steps.

Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi beside him: "Old Hu, stop her!"

Hu Bayi didn't have time to think of a reason, when he stepped forward and grabbed Ding Sitian who was trying to approach the bronze door.

Being pulled by Hu Bayi like this, Ding Sitian's somewhat dazed eyes suddenly cleared. She quickly took two steps back and asked, "What happened to me just now?"

"It should be the problem with the dragon talisman on your body, but it's not a big problem, as long as you stop staring at it." Chen Ziyan expressed his guess.

He had suspected before that the material of the bronze dragon talisman should have some connection with the bronze door or meteorite copper. Now Ding Sitian's performance has undoubtedly confirmed this.

Upon hearing this, Ding Sitian immediately pressed her hand on the location where the bronze dragon talisman was located, and was very obedient and did not look at the huge bronze door.

Although she knew little about the bronze door, she knew that it would be inappropriate to approach it rashly.

This meant that there were other people around, and if he was the only one here, there's no telling what would happen.

"Let's leave now. There are too many strange things happening in this place." Hu Bayi didn't want to stay any longer and thought it would be better to leave first.

First, Wang Kaixuan had a strange attraction to black cockroaches, now the bronze door can make people subconsciously approach, and what happened just now when Chen Ziyan met Sheng Ji, this place is no longer an ordinary evil place.

Anyway, their goal has been basically achieved. The bronze door they were looking for has been found, and the black turtles they wanted to eliminate are all dead. There is no point in continuing to stay here. It is better to leave directly.

This time no one raised any objections, they all nodded in agreement.

It's not just Hu Bayi who thinks it's not suitable to stay here any longer. Maybe everyone else has the same idea except Chen Ziyan, who doesn't care.

Immediately, several people passed through the spider swarm again, trying to return to the original path.

But just when he was halfway there, Wang Kaixuan suddenly called out to everyone: "Hey? Do you think there is someone there?"

Several people quickly stopped and looked towards where Wang Kaixuan was pointing.

They discovered that inside the spider swarm next to them, there was a two-meter-square space, and inside that space there was a figure sitting cross-legged.

The figure's back was turned to them, so the specific appearance could not be clearly seen, but the clothes looked like those from the Republic of China period.

Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "Could this be the senior who built the Fish Bone Temple?"

He felt that there should be no one except those seniors who could protect him and go deep here.

Others also think what he said makes sense. This is not a place that can be reached casually.

Wang Kaixuan glanced at the corpse of the black cockroach next to him and said: "Anyway, these big spiders are dead, why don't we go over and have a look. We are all one family in this world. If it is really that senior, now that we have seen it,

We can't let him continue to be left here like this, he has to be taken out and buried anyway."

Of course, if he didn't stare at the package next to the figure when he spoke, the credibility of his words would be even higher.

Hu Bayi naturally knew what the fat man was thinking, but regardless of the starting point, this was how things really had to be done.

If they hadn't seen it, there would be no need to mention it, but now that they have seen it, it would be better to take the person out and bury him in peace.

After all, he was a senior member of the gold-mining sect, and he couldn't just expose his body here.

Although it has not been determined yet, Hu Bayi has basically determined that this figure is probably a corpse.

His basis is very simple. You must know that these black cockroaches have just died, so it is conceivable whether the senior who somehow fell into the spider swarm is dead or alive.

Chen Ziyan also felt that this was Jin Abacus's body. Although it was somewhat different from what he knew, it was more consistent with the situation.

After all, if the famous Jin Abacus was attacked and killed by those little guys outside, this way of ending would be somewhat inconsistent with his status.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan thought it would be better to confirm again, and said: "Let's go over and see if it is true or not, and help restrain it."

When several people came to this figure, they discovered that it was indeed a corpse, and it was also a mummified corpse.

There was an irregular gap on the top of the corpse's head, as if it had been pierced by some kind of sharp weapon.

However, it does not look like it was caused by being sucked by black cockroaches. The reason why it became a mummy is more like natural drying.

Wang Kaixuan had a clear goal, so while Chen Ziyan and the others were observing the corpse, he had already opened the package next to him.

After fiddling with it for a while, Wang Kaixuan simply poured out everything in the package.

This package contained only some scattered items, so it kept making clanging sounds on the ground.

The sound attracted the attention of others, so they put down the mummy first and gathered around it, hoping to see what was inside and maybe find clues to the other party's identity.

This package is a bag sewn with cloth, and it looks like a treasure bag.

The things poured out were very messy, including seven or eight candles, a few stacked paper lamps, and a few old-fashioned German dry batteries. Finally, there was a compass and a small porcelain bottle, which contained a few small red pills.

The first time Hu Ba saw the pill, he said: "Isn't this the red elixir that touches Captain Jin?"

But he wasn't sure. After all, he had only heard about it and had never seen the real thing.

Ding Sitian took the porcelain bottle over, looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This should be it."

Chen Ziyan glanced at the porcelain bottle in Ding Sitian's hand and asked: "Miss Ding, with these physical objects, can you deduce the formula of this thing?"

This Red Pill is considered a good thing. Not only can it be used for fighting in the tomb, but it can also be used to prove identity at special moments. Therefore, Chen Ziyan thought that if he could copy it, he and others would carry some with them.

Ding Sitian shook her head gently: "This is difficult. Let alone the fact that this medicine has been around for decades, it has already changed. Even for a new medicine that has just been released, it is basically impossible to deduce the formula. It is possible to use materials like this

, but there’s nothing you can do about the technique and the heat.”

"Why is it just this little thing?" Wang Kaixuan muttered with some disappointment and subconsciously shook the treasure bag in his hand.

But with just such a flick, he realized something was wrong, because the treasure bag still had some weight, and obviously the contents were not completely poured out.

Turning the treasure bag around again, Wang Kaixuan quickly found the reason. It turned out that there was a mezzanine inside, and the contents had not been poured out just now.

However, when he took out the contents of the mezzanine, he was disappointed again, because it was also not a treasure.

Inside this interlayer was a bundle of slender steel wires, a knife more than three inches long, a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, a roll of ink thread, and something they were very familiar with - a black donkey's hoof.

However, this black donkey's hooves are different from theirs. The entire hoof looks very delicate. It has obviously been specially treated, and the surface is covered with runes drawn with cinnabar mixed with gold powder.

No need to say much to know that this is definitely a treasure in the black donkey's hooves.

When Wang Kaixuan saw the black donkey's hooves, he immediately became energetic and looked at it happily.

Although I didn't get any obvious weapons, the black donkey's hoof looks good just by its appearance. I guess it's also a treasure that can ward off evil spirits and suppress corpses, so it can be considered a gain.

Unlike Wang Kaixuan who focused on black donkey hooves, Chen Ziyan paid more attention to the humble bottle of Yunnan Baiyao.

He handed the bottle containing Yunnan Baiyao to Ding Sixian and asked again: "Miss Ding, can you help me check how this medicine is?"

Chen Ziyan felt that with Jin Abacus' qualifications, he would definitely not bring ordinary wound medicine, and this Yunnan Baiyao was probably the ancient prescription with extraordinary effects.
