People in Zong Tomb, Jieling Pirates

Chapter 332 Red Clothes and Laughter

Facing Hu Bayi's question, Chen Ziyan did not rush to respond, but fell into deep thought.

If things are really like what Hu Bayi said, it means that the direction of many things to consider will have to change accordingly.

The simplest point is that if King Xian's capture of the Zhelong Mountain area was premeditated, does that mean that he also hid other secrets behind his departure from the ancient Dian Kingdom?

However, Shirley Yang thought for a while and said: "If the truth is like this, it means that in addition to the water dragon halo, there must be something that King Xian values ​​​​here. Even in King Xian's view, such a thing will be his success.

An essential link on the path to immortality.”

The most difficult thing about things is not having any ideas, but after you have a clue, you can often get a lot of things just by following along.

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Chen Ziyan pulled away from his thoughts and listed: "We saw a lot of strange objects along the way, including the bluestone bottle with the jade tire and the three-legged toad.

A bronze letter, this ancient tripod in front of you can also be regarded as one."

But after he finished speaking, he took the lead in shaking his head: "No, although this cauldron seems important, it is probably not indispensable. If other things were important, they would not be placed in the gourd."

In the hole."

If you think about it, you will know that if it is really important to a certain extent, it must be taken by King Xian. You can refer to Muchen Bead's treatment for this.

With this thought in his mind, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the mural again. If there is anything that is most likely to be like this now, it is the square thing that King Xian took out of the bronze vessel.

Judging from the special mention of such things on the murals by the King Xian Society, we can know that this is by no means an ordinary object.

After Chen Ziyan searched his memory, he quickly found an item that met the requirements, which was the jade letter that Hu Bayi found in the wall of the apse in the original plot.

It's just that the jade letter was lost together with the ancient Legalist mirror, so it wasn't mentioned much in the original plot, so Chen Ziyan didn't think of it at the first time.

Now thinking of this jade letter, Chen Ziyan felt that it was very likely that there was a Dragon Bone Book containing secret information.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan began to look at the surrounding painted walls uncontrollably.

Since he knew that there was a jade letter hidden in the wall, he naturally couldn't let it go, but now there was a problem before him, that is, he was not sure which wall the jade letter was in.

He couldn't just break down all the painted walls just to find this jade letter. The murals here were considered cultural treasures. If they could be preserved, he wouldn't want to destroy them wantonly.

Although he himself has little interest in these, he has to admit that this 'knowledge' is very helpful in improving his status in the industry.

And if he can, Chen Ziyan is also willing to make some contributions to the archaeological industry.

"You said that since King Xian took that thing out of the cauldron in front of you, is it still in it now?" At this moment, Wang Kaixuan suddenly said.

He thought that since he wanted to study the function of this thing, he might as well just lift the lid of the cauldron and take a look, maybe he could find something out.

It has to be done sooner or later anyway, so why not implement it now so as not to make him always think about it.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and decided that he could give it a try. Although he knew there was something strange on the lid of the bronze vessel, there should be no problem as long as he was careful.

After all, what Hu Bayi said was just speculation, and the existing conditions could not be verified. It was better for them to take care of the current situation first.

"Then try. Fatty is right about what he said. We can't let go of any clues, so we have to open it and take a look no matter what." After thinking about this, Chen Ziyan nodded and said.

"Then let's open it and take a look." Hu Bayi thought about it and decided that this would be a good idea.

Compared with the elusive speculation, the bronze artifact in front of you is within reach, so there is no reason to keep looking far away.

Then they walked around the bronze vessel and found that the lid of the cauldron was sealed with fire paint. There was also a seal on the layer of fire paint. The pattern was of a criminal with a chain through the pipa bone. Although they did not know what it represented, but

But it can prove that this seal has never been opened.

"There may be traps set up here, so please be careful," Chen Ziyan reminded.

"I'll do it." Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang was worried about other people's craftsmanship, so she took the penis-detecting claw from Wang Kaixuan, who was about to step forward, and prepared to personally remove the sealing paint on it.

Others have no objections to this, after all, they really dare not say that they are better than Shirley Yang in this regard.

After Shirley Yang scraped off the paint and tested it with the needle on her vaginal claw, she nodded to Chen Ziyan: "That's it."

The next steps are beyond her ability.

Chen Ziyan naturally understood, and immediately called to Hu Bayi and others, preparing to work together to lift the cauldron lid.

Because he suspected that the mechanism would be triggered by directly removing the lid of the tripod, he planned to open it vertically.

But the moment Chen Ziyan put his hand on the copper ring, his whole body stagnated for a moment, and a message imprinted deep in his blood emerged in his heart.

This piece of information was exactly about the bronze in front of him.

Hu Bayi guessed correctly, this was not a cauldron, but a cauldron used for cooking.

But this is not an ordinary cauldron, but one made by the ancestors of the human race in the barbaric era for the ancient gods to cook food.

The animal-shaped cauldron feet above are the totems of the forged tribes. For example, the Shennong bloodline he inherited, the tribe's cauldron has the shape of an ox as its feet.

After receiving this information, Chen Ziyan's eyes towards the ancient cauldron had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He thought the origin of this thing was mysterious, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

At the same time, he also understood why both King Xian and King Fu were like this ancient cauldron. He didn't need to know it as clearly as he did. He only needed to know a little bit to know that this was definitely a supreme treasure.

The utensil used to cook the ancient gods, if you round it off a little, it can be regarded as an artifact, okay?

"Master Chen, what's wrong?" When Hu Ba saw Chen Ziyan in a daze, he thought he had discovered something.

But before Chen Ziyan could react, a cold laughter suddenly sounded from the depths of the palace.

The voice sounded like it was made by a woman, but it was as cold as frost, and it was filled with unabashed malice.

In the deathly quiet palace, such a strange laughter suddenly sounded, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.

But when they followed the sound and shined their flashlights on it, the cold and weird laughter stopped abruptly, and nothing was found.

Several people subconsciously approached, but no one made a sound for a while. After a while, Wang Kaixuan asked in an anxious voice: "What is this sound?"

"A woman's laughter... but it's probably not a human being." Chen Ziyan looked up at the top of the hall and said in an incomprehensible tone.

Although there was a 'scientific' explanation for this laughter in the original plot, he was now certain that it was definitely caused by something weird.

Hu Bayi obviously also thought of this, reached out and took the black donkey's hoof in his hand, and said: "The ones who come are not good, and the good ones will not come, so everyone should be ready to take action."

This weird laughter reminded him of a few golden rules widely circulated among tomb robbers.

Make the Qiu seal, touch the golden talisman, and blow the lamp to protect yourself from ghosts;

The cellar coffin, the bronze coffin, don’t come near it if it’s not hard;

Vertical burial pits, box graves, moving mountains and unloading ridges to walk around;

Red clothes are fierce, smiling faces are corpses, it is better to listen to ghosts cry than to laugh at ghosts;

When he thought of this in his heart, Hu Bayi subconsciously read it in a low voice.

After hearing this, Chen Ziyan said in a faint tone: "What if we encounter two kinds at the same time?"

At this moment, under his gaze, a red robe on the top of the palace was moving automatically in the calm breeze.

"Which two kinds?" Hu Ba asked unconsciously, but then he realized what he was saying and looked towards the top of the palace.

When he saw the red robe, he squeezed out four words through his teeth: "Red-robed fierce ghost!"

Then he reminded sternly: "Remember, never look back!"

Although it was his first time to encounter such a vicious thing, he had heard the name of this kind of thing. This kind of ominous thing is called "black star" in physiognomy. When a mortal encounters it, it will be extinguished by the samadhi fire of the human body.

, then it will be difficult to save your life.

This is why he reminded everyone not to look back, because if you don't look back, you may be able to survive for a while, but once your own fire is extinguished, it will be really dangerous.

Fortunately, everyone's psychological quality is very good, and each of them has something to ward off evil spirits, so they have some confidence in their hearts, so they can maintain their composure.

Wang Kaixuan stared at the red robe fluttering above him, lowered his voice and asked: "Master Chen, Lao Hu, what should we do now?"

If it were a tangible enemy, he wouldn't even hesitate for a moment, but he really didn't know how to deal with such an evil thing.

Besides, with this thing floating above, the things in their hands may not be useful.

Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said, "Let's continue to open this ancient cauldron and lure this thing down."

He is not the kind of character who is passive and takes beatings, so he wants to turn his passivity into initiative!

The appearance of blood just now reminded him that although he did not have the ability to quell evil with blood like Zhang Qiling, such things might not be able to hurt him.

And with what I have in hand, I might be able to sort this thing out.

"Okay." Hu Bayi immediately understood that it was their attempt to open the copper cauldron that triggered this thing's reaction.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for them to remain silent for a long time. As soon as they touched the copper cauldron, they started to laugh strangely.

Immediately, while guarding the surroundings, several people returned to their previous positions, intending to continue what they had not finished.

"Kekeke~"

As expected, as Chen Ziyan expected, the moment they grabbed the copper ring again, the creeping and weird laughter sounded again.

And this time they also felt a cool air on the back of their necks, as if someone was blowing air on them from behind.

Fortunately, everyone remembered Hu Bayi's words, and despite the cool breeze blowing behind them, they resisted and did not look back.

Chen Ziyan and the others seemed not to notice the change. The four of them, including Hua Hu, stood on both sides of the copper cauldron and lifted the cauldron lid with all their strength.

And as the cauldron lid separated from the cauldron body, the weird laughter became more and more shrill, echoing in every corner of the back hall.

Chen Ziyan and the others did not dare to lift the cauldron cover, so after lifting the cauldron lid, they quickly and carefully put it aside.

After confirming that no mechanism had been triggered, Chen Ziyan quickly jumped up and looked inside the cauldron. He saw that the inside was filled with white flowers, and they were all skinned, dried and washed corpses, including men, women, old and young. There must be at least a dozen bodies.

These corpses were piled together, covered with transparent grease that had long solidified, like skin jelly, and looked like they had been made into wax corpses.

"Ahhhh——"

Just when Chen Ziyan looked inside the copper cauldron, a wail containing immense resentment suddenly sounded.

Then the red robe hanging on the top of the hall appeared above the copper cauldron as if teleporting.

As the distance got closer, this time they finally saw the full picture of the red robe. The craftsmanship of this dress was very complicated. It didn't look like Han craftsmanship at all, but more like a witch robe.

The body of the owner of the red robe was hidden in the loose robe, and only the head and face could be seen clearly. It was a face with heavy and strange makeup, and a mouth full of fangs, which was constantly making piercing howls!

"This is Shan Po, a witch from the Yi people!" Shirley Yang immediately recognized the identity of the owner of the witch robe and quickly reminded her.

Wang Kaixuan directly raised his gun and fired, and instantly the palace burst into flames, but it had no effect.

Those bullets seemed to hit something ethereal, passing directly through the figure of Sam Po on the copper cauldron and landing on the painting wall behind.

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan quickly stopped him: "Fat man, you can't use a gun!"

There are a lot of painted walls here, which makes the environment complicated. If you shoot unscrupulously, it's hard to say whether it can cause damage to the demigods, but the splashing ricochet will definitely fall on them.

Wang Kaixuan actually realized this shortly after pulling the trigger, so after hearing Chen Ziyan's words, he immediately stopped shooting.

But he did curse: "What the hell is this!"

He just felt scared and aggrieved now. Looking at the situation, it was obvious that he would be in a situation where he could only be beaten but could not fight back.

Hu Bayi then took out a handful of glutinous rice and threw it towards it, and said at the same time: "Even if this thing is not a red-clothed ghost, it is definitely not a good thing. Let's retreat first!"

He felt that there was no good way to deal with this thing at the moment, so it was better to stay out of the way and come back when he thought of a solution.

After all, it seems that this thing was left by King Xian to guard the back hall. Even if he could leave here, he would probably not be able to leave Minglou.

When Chen Ziyan heard what he said, he said: "If you persist a little longer, I will have a way to deal with her!"

He feels a little regretful now. He was so busy with the agency that he forgot about Shan Po.

Otherwise, if we had prepared in advance, we would not need to be so passive now.

He was thinking this in his heart, but he was not satisfied with the movements of his hands at all, and quickly took out several items from the portable space.
