Chapter 181: Scrambling(1/2)
There were not too many decorations around the stone pillar, but a stone slab with a diameter of thirty square meters was built on it. Baichi couldn't see clearly what was on it because he was looking up.
At this time, the wretched man had already ran over, and after looking at it for a while, he waved his hand towards Bai Chi to signal him to go over.
When they arrived at Baichi, they discovered that a row of scales on the stone dragon was spreading upwards like a sloping ladder.
This feeling is no less than the feeling of an ordinary poor person walking into the palace. First, there is a burst of surprise, and then there is a heartfelt shock.
One after another, people walked up to the wretched man. Liu Wei glanced at it with a miner's lamp, and Bai Chi discovered that the bottom of the building above the stone pillars was actually inlaid with jade to form a picture of twenty-eight constellations.
However, Baichi couldn't imagine this tomb as a palace in the sky. The gray mist he encountered when he entered reminded people of the Nine Nether Purgatory.
The wretched man also noticed the constellation diagram above his head, but because he didn't understand it, he could only look at it. However, his feet were not idle. When Baichi and the others arrived, he took the lead to walk up the stone staircase formed by the dragon's scales.
Bai Chi was afraid that the wretched man would touch the agency so recklessly again. Just when he was about to hold him back, he found that Liu Wei and Lao Qian walked up without too much worry, so Bai Chi felt relieved.
At this time, several people had already walked six or seven steps high. Just when Bai Chi was about to catch up, his eyes were parallel and he saw something that shocked Bai Chi's soul.
Bai Chi found that the shoes on Lao Qian's feet were exactly the same as Liu Wei's, and when he lifted his feet, Bai Chi saw that the patterns on the soles were also the same.
This proves the reason why I did not find Lao Qian’s footprints in the tomb, because at that time I was blindly observing the pattern of the footprints, but ignored the factors of the length and weight of the shoes.
It turns out that things are so simple. With this clue, the puzzle can basically be solved, but there is no occasion to solve the puzzle.
Now that several people have reached the end, if the speculation of the matter is really as Bai Chi thinks, it will definitely be a fierce fight. The wretched man is still walking arrogantly in front, and he cannot fully understand the concerns in Bai Chi's heart, because
There is something vaguely surprising in this series of events.
There must be someone among the five who has other ideas, and this person must be hiding it very deeply.
At this point, Bai Chi slapped his forehead hard and made a look of realization. At this time, Liu Wei and the others also noticed Bai Chi's strangeness, and they all stopped and looked back at Bai Chi.
The wretched man laughed and said:
"Boss, are you not going to go up? By then the baby will be ours!"
Bai Chi ignored the wretched man, but Liu Wei seemed to see what Bai Chi meant. He looked around and asked cautiously: "My boss, did you find anything?"
Bai Chi shook his head, thinking that it was time to explain the topic thoroughly, and now he had to sacrifice Lao Qian and use him as a breakthrough.
"We're already here, and I think it's time to clarify some things!"
As he spoke, Bai Chi looked at the expressions of several people, except for Bai Thirteen. Bai Chi didn't look at them because they were the Bai family's Black Ice Platform guards he brought out from Baijia Village.
Liu Wei was still as calm as ever, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. Seeing Bai Chi become serious, the wretched man walked towards Bai Chi. But old Qian Bai Chi couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, he should know what Bai Chi meant.
, now looking at Bai Chi with a smile but not a smile. It seems that Bai Chi's words poked a hole.
Several people looked at Bai Chi without saying a word. Bai Chi could only bite the bullet and pointed his eyes at Lao Qian and asked:
"Your disappearance may be a coincidence, but it had to happen."
Liu Wei and the wretched man were startled when they heard this, and then looked at Lao Qian, but he still had the same expression.
Seeing that Lao Qian was at ease, Bai Chi boldly stated his speculation:
"The disappearance of old money is completely planned!"
At this time, Lao Qian smiled strangely at Bai Chi and said:
"Then boss, tell me why I disappeared?"
Bai Chi chuckled and said:
"Your disappearance can be said to be well-intentioned. I haven't determined your purpose yet, but I know that what you really want to do is to board this building alone!"
As soon as he said the last sentence, a trace of evil flashed in Lao Qian's eyes, but at this moment the wretched man suddenly returned to Bai Chi's side, staring at Lao Qian fiercely.
Bai Chi's words are very clear. Only when Lao Qian kills other people on the way can he go up alone. Liu Wei is also in this range. Presumably he will not let go even his apprentice. But he
He never thought about whether he would be able to get here without Bai Chi's animal skin map?
This sentence is not intended to drive a wedge between Liu Wei and Lao Qian's master and apprentice, but to isolate Lao Qian at this time.
Obviously Liu Wei has some taboos about Bai Chi's speculation. Although Bai Chi's words cannot withstand careful scrutiny, it also depends on whose side Liu Wei is on.
Before Old Qian could speak, the wretched man shouted at the top of his lungs:
"You old man, I treat you as my old buddy, why would you do such a thing? I asked you to help me, Bai Chi is my savior, you are my boss, do you know that?"
The sudden burst of drinking from the wretched man really startled Bai Chi. Originally, Bai Chi just planned to test Lao Qian and ask him to explain why he left and why he appeared behind us.
The wretched man's violent drinking completely disrupted Bai Chi's plan. If Lao Qian loses control of his temper, he may fall out, but if he still laughs at each other, it means that his time has not come yet. When that time comes, Lao Qian will
It becomes even more difficult to guard against.
Sure enough, Lao Qian thought the same as Bai Chi. He glanced at Liu Wei first and saw that Liu Wei had no intention of helping him. He changed his attitude and said with a little smile:
"Boss, Wang Heping, are you joking, how could I have such thoughts! It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
Bai Chi glared at the wretched man, then suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and sneered:
"If you don't want to say it now, I'll help you pick it out slowly!"
The smoke-free war was about to begin when Liu Wei suddenly walked up to Bai Chi and said:
"Master, now is not the time to talk about this. I think we'll talk about it when we go out!"
Lao Qian seemed to agree with Liu Wei's opinion and looked at Bai Chi with some expectation. Bai Chi originally wanted to say it, but seeing that Liu Wei had already spoken for Lao Qian, he couldn't say anything else. After all, they are the same person.
Although Liu Wei didn't mean to harm anyone, Bai Chi couldn't always bring this topic up.
It's good to let go appropriately, but if you continue to suppress him blindly, even if Lao Qian doesn't get angry, Liu Wei will feel that he is going too far.
Bai Chi thought about going down Liu Wei's steps. At this time, the wretched man said ungratefully:
"No, if the matter is not clarified, whether we can go out or not is one thing!"
Bai Chi thought: Why can't you understand? Liu Wei is now on Lao Qian's side. If you continue like this, we won't get any good!
At this time, Lao Qian looked at the aggressive and wretched man and immediately let go and said with a smile:
"It was part of the plan that I fainted!"
When Lao Qian said this, Bai Chi was still glaring at the wretched man. As soon as Lao Qian's voice fell, Bai Chi was surprised. He didn't expect that he would say it directly. He subconsciously glanced at Liu Wei, his expression also very shocked.
appearance.
Having said this, Bai Chi now regrets that he had to press Lao Qian.
"After I fainted, I really didn't know that a third party would appear in the tomb!"
Lao Qian slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a puff and then said:
"After the laughter disappeared, Liu Wei was afraid of leaving us and ran to the entrance of the corridor as soon as possible. The boss should be very aware of this matter, right?"
When Bai Chi heard this, he looked at Liu Wei in surprise. At that time, Liu Wei ran out first on the pretext of hearing stones rubbing against the ground. When he came back, he said that the entrance to the corridor had been blocked. Bai Chi did not doubt him too much at that time.
Because third-party factors may also do this.
However, Bai Chi did not expect Liu Wei to have such a scheming intention from the beginning. Seeing that Liu Wei had no intention of explaining, he asked Liu Wei:
"Could it be that the corridor was not blocked at that time, but you made up this reason because you were afraid that I would run away?"
Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said:
"Master, there are some things I can't answer you directly, but you just need to remember what I said!"
Bai Chi knew very well what Liu Wei said, but since Liu Wei didn't want to hurt himself, why did he let himself go through the thunder? And why did Liu Wei care so much about him? Why did he not explain some things face to face and insist on hiding them?
There are many doubts, but the truth will always come out...
Bai Chi looked at Liu Wei in surprise. Seeing that he didn't want to speak anymore, he turned to look at Lao Qian. At this time, Lao Qian shrugged:
"Master, don't look at me like this. Although Liu Wei is my apprentice, we haven't been together for long."
"have no idea?"
This time Bai Chi looked at the wretched man. The wretched man had found the two of them. If he wanted to know the details of the other party, he should know it best.
But the wretched man disappointed Bai Chi very much and said helplessly:
"Liu Wei is Lao Qian's apprentice, that's all I know!"
"What the hell is going on?"
Bai Chi shook his head and looked at Liu Wei and asked:
"Can you tell me the truth now? Were all the previous situations set up by you and Lao Qian?"
Before Liu Wei could speak, Lao Qian said first:
"These things have nothing to do with Liu Wei. At first, I thought Liu Wei wanted to do something, so I suddenly disappeared. It wasn't until I observed him in the dark that he risked his life for you, my boss, that I was sure that he had no other intentions.
Your intentions!"
Bai Chi knew what Lao Qian meant. When he encountered the corpse left behind in the "Four Ghosts Carrying the Coffin", Liu Wei helped Bai Chi lure the rice dumpling away.
Could it be that it was really old money who was hiding among the terracotta warriors at that time?
Bai Chi told them the situation at that time, and the wretched man nodded and said he had seen this phenomenon. However, Lao Qian was shocked and said in surprise:
"Boss, you said there were still people in this mausoleum at that time?"
Scared! What Lao Qian said was shocking. What did he mean? He didn’t show up at that time, so who could be the person hiding in the group of terracotta warriors?
