Chapter 177: Four Ghosts Carrying the Coffin

Bai Chi carefully explored the road in front, and first the disappearance of Lao Qian, and then Liu Wei, made anyone feel that there was something hidden inside.

If strictly divided, Bai Chi, Bai Shisan and Wuxiannan belong to the same camp, and Liu Wei and Lao Qian's master and apprentice belong to the same camp. If he really follows his own speculation, it means that Liu Wei's disappearance at this time is not

It was accidental, but it was planned. But what did the two of them want to do? Didn't he invite them in?

Or in other words, the two of them are completely familiar with the layout of this tomb?

It was another crazy idea. Bai Chi didn't know why there were so many wild speculations. Now Bai Chi could no longer control his thoughts and pointed his doubts at the wretched man.

Or maybe the wretched man already knew what he was doing when he came to find Lao Qian? So he wanted to come down with him. However, the arrival of himself and Bai Shisan happened to disrupt Lao Qian's original plan, which made them

The plan was accelerated, but there was a scene where Lao Qian disappeared as soon as he entered the ancient tomb?

Thinking of this, Bai Chi suddenly remembered an uncertain factor isolated outside our two camps, the weird laughter when he first entered the ancient tomb...

The emergence of weird laughter may also be a powerful factor in prompting Lao Qian to disappear, because there were third-party factors involved at the time, which gave Lao Qian an excuse to take the first step.

Everything that started now has been connected, only the one link that made them happen has yet to be concluded.

Bai Chi knew that they didn't enter this ancient tomb to buy some antiques, but what could be worth setting up such a dangerous trap?

Thinking of the animal skin map in the Bai family's Jiuding, is it really to find the tomb located at the bird's head? But this map was hidden by the Bai family in the Ten Thousand Bones Pit. How did they know?

Bai Chi can no longer speculate. Everything is out of his control. Even the wretched man behind him can't figure it out. How can he figure out the two old fritters he just met? The only thing he can do now is

The one who believed it might be Bai Shisan.

Unknowingly, the three of them had reached the end of the stone staircase. At this time, they didn't know where in the tomb chamber they were. In short, Baichi was very lucky that they didn't encounter those ghost-like deformed bats along the way.

Suddenly there was a light behind him. Bai Chi thought it was Liu Wei who had been following him and hurriedly turned around, only to find that the wretched man was holding a miner's lamp to adjust the light.

Bai Chi looked around carefully, and when he saw that there was no such deformed bat flying towards him, he asked strangely:

"Where did the miner's lamp come from?"

The wretched man said unhurriedly:

"Actually, there are them in every backpack. Boss, do you think one of them alone can be of much use? It's just that they are used sparingly and not taken out."

Bai Chi was speechless, but what the wretched man said was indeed true. If there was only one miner's lamp and no electricity, wouldn't he be as stupid as a blind man? Thinking of this, Bai Chi touched the one placed next to him and it was turned off.

mobile phone...

Now that the three of them had gotten rid of the threat of the deformed bat, Bai Chi turned around and looked at the layout in front of him after the wretched man adjusted the miner's lamp.

This is a fifty square meter stone platform. In the middle of the stone platform is a table lifted by four stone figures.

The wretched man glanced downwards with a miner's lamp. Standing on the table, he happened to have a panoramic view of the entire tomb. The densely packed terracotta warriors below also faced this direction.

This is a kind of visual shock, which is far beyond the shock of looking at the terracotta warriors.

Suddenly remembering the plot in "some ancient books", Bai Chi opened his mouth in surprise and said involuntarily:

"Is this the legendary Dianjiangtai?"

Although this is just my own guess, if you think about it, anyone would have such an idea. After all, the current scene is too grand.

Seeing that Bai Chi could no longer control his inner impulse, the wretched man dangled the miner's lamp in front of his eyes. When Bai Chi came back to his senses, he said:

"What's the general order? Boss, you've watched too many mythological movies!"

Bai Chi retorted:

"If not, what do you think it is?"

"Can't you even see this?"

The wretched man pointed at the terracotta warriors below and explained:

"The structure of this tomb can be compared to an ancient battlefield. If the terracotta warriors below were thought of as soldiers about to go out to fight, what do you think our place would be like?"

"School ground?" Bai Chi was surprised. No matter how he thought, it would be impossible to build such a huge project underground.

The wretched man continued:

"Boss, that's not what I meant. If you want to make so many terracotta warriors, someone must supervise the production, and the purpose of building this stone platform is to have an overview of the entire project!"

Bai Chi nodded suddenly, but was still a little puzzled and asked:

“Why build a single stone table on a stone platform?”

The wretched man walked to the stone table disapprovingly and said:

"With this thing, you can lie down and look at it, or you can lie down and look at it. Look, the table is just over two meters long, and the design is quite humane!"

Bai Chi rolled his eyes and was too lazy to fight with the wretched man. Don't pretend to understand if you don't understand...

Seeing that what he said was still true, the wretched man looked at Bai Chi and said:

"I'll try lying on it first!"

As he spoke, he was about to lie down, but at this moment, a gunshot was heard from behind, and then the bullet hit the ground and caused countless sparks.

Bai Chi and Bai Shisan instinctively drew their pistols from their waists, but the wretched man was frightened by the sudden shot and shrank back.

Looking back, it turned out to be Liu Wei, but he looked a little embarrassed. His clothes had been torn in five or six places, and blood had flowed from some places. It was obvious that after the three people left, Liu Wei and the deformed bats had an awkward fight.

An imaginary fight. Liu Wei looked at the Type 79 pistols in Bai Chi and Bai Shisan's hands in surprise, and then a look of deep fear appeared in his eyes...

Bai Chi and Bai Shisan looked at each other, still put the pistol back into their waists, and stared at Liu Wei silently.

Before Bai Chi had time to speak, the wretched man jumped up to his height and said at the top of his lungs:

"What the hell is going on with you? If you really want to come, I will stay with you today!"

Seeing that the wretched man was angry, Bai Chi tried to persuade him, saying that if Liu Wei really wanted to kill him, he would have shot him in the head.

The wretched man was still looking at Liu Wei eagerly, as if he was going to tear Liu Wei into pieces in an instant. Because he was the one who found him, if something happened to Baichi, he wouldn't be able to tell...

Liu Wei ignored the wretched man and walked directly to the stone table, and then questioned the wretched man:

"Do you know what this is?"

The wretched man was stunned. Bai Chi was afraid that he would have another attack and hurriedly smoothed things over:

"Isn't this just an ordinary stone table?"

Liu Wei snorted at the wretched man:

"This is not a table at all, these are four ghosts carrying a coffin!"

Hearing the words "Four Ghosts Carrying the Coffin", the wretched man's face suddenly changed. He seemed to have some understanding of this, but he didn't say it clearly. He just muttered a few words angrily and then stepped aside and sat down.

Bai Chi was startled at first and then looked at Liu Wei in confusion. Seeing that there was nothing strange in the coffin, Liu Wei explained to Bai Chi:

"My boss, you don't know. You don't have to look at me like this. There are many taboo things in this industry. Don't talk about you. Even he doesn't know about this!" He pointed at the obscene man.

Bai Chi asked:

"The four figures in this stone sculpture don't look like ghosts. Why do you say that?"

Liu Wei explained:

"The so-called four ghosts are not ghosts in the real sense, but human selfish desires."

"Look at these terracotta warriors below. They protected their family and the country during their lifetime. After their death, they were made into clay figurines, which is their final destination. If their souls are not saved, they may become ownerless wandering souls!"

This theory has gone beyond materialist thinking, and Bai Chi is very skeptical of Liu Wei's explanation: "How do you know?"

Liu Wei wiped the blood from his arm and replied:

"After the three of you walked away, I was surrounded by those deformed bats. Fortunately, I finally escaped. I originally planned to go back to the corridor where the humans were killed, but I accidentally found a roll of bamboo slips!"

As he spoke, Liu Wei took out the bamboo slips from his backpack and handed them to Bai Chi and said:

"Master, take a look!"

Bai Chi took the bamboo slips and spread them out to see that they were basically the seal script of the Qin Dynasty. Although he couldn't understand them all, he could still understand some of the meanings. With the vague light of the miner's lamp, Bai Chi looked carefully...

The bamboo slips probably said that some incredible things happened during the construction of this mausoleum. People died frequently at that time, and in the end there was no way to start building an altar and use living people to worship the mausoleum.

The four ghosts who carried the coffin as Liu Wei said meant using four kinds of people to offer sacrifices. They were four kinds of criminals who had committed the most heinous crimes. The ritual procedures were not complicated, but they were very cruel.

The skin of a living person was peeled off from the body, and the person was unable to die for a while. The prisoner who was sacrificed watched his skin and flesh separate, which made a strong resentment surge in his heart. Then, the four who were not completely dead were killed.

Toru's sacrificial offerings were sealed inside the coffin.

In this way, a pattern of four ghosts carrying the pavilion for sacrifices is formed, which is similar to a time bomb.

Although it is recorded in this way on the bamboo slips, the real truth is probably not that complicated. To put it bluntly, the owner of the tomb was afraid that future generations would defeat him, so he came up with a series of defensive measures.

Now I think that Liu Wei was absolutely right to shoot and stop the wretched man. If the wretched man really rides on this coffin, people will definitely not buy your account. If he jumps out, the consequences will be disastrous. Bai Chi must have thought this was nonsense before.

But now after Bai Qi's jade slip inheritance and Meng Yi's shadow, Bai Chi no longer insists on atheism. Bai Chi thinks that no matter how weird things are, it is possible...

Just thinking about four skinless corpses gives me goosebumps.
