Chapter 191: Two people in one tomb

The clothes behind the corpse have rotted, and what is exposed outside is the wrinkled skin. In other words, the corpse has been dried into a mummy, and a gap has clearly appeared on the waist.

Involuntarily, Bai Chi's head buzzed. Could this be the legendary halving?

It's so terrifying. How could such a punishment appear on this person? I once heard someone say that halving is made. The main organs of a person are on the upper body. After halving, the person who was executed will not die immediately, but will suffer the pain of life worse than death. Because the organs in the upper body are still operating at this moment, I can only watch my own ** and myself separate, and then the upper body crawls on the ground in pain until it dies completely.

Sometimes I think that this punishment should be completely harmonious, and this kind of pain is no less cruel than the creation of the "Four Ghosts Carrying the Coffin". But then again, if someone can be killed by this punishment, the crime will definitely be very serious.

And if it were the owner of this palace, others would not have carried his body here, and they would have dealt with it in such a strange way.

No wonder Liu Wei said at that time that the corpse was not the owner of the palace.

Bai Chi looked outside and said:

"Will this be someone who is very jealous of the owner here, put his body here as a guard?"

The vulgar man no longer had the same trolling momentum as before, but thought for a while and said:

"The boss said something, but I really don't know the identity of this person!"

In a trance, Bai Chi suddenly felt a little strange. It seemed that every sudden incident happened, he would first say the guess, and then the three of them nodded in an enlightenment.

It is also possible that the three of them had already thought of the answer to the question, but they were just giving themselves face to speak out.

Bai Chi thought to himself: It seems that he shouldn't be so stupid in the future. Liu Wei and Lao Qian are both professional tomb robbers. How can he compare himself with them as a half-baked person?

As expected, Liu Wei began to speculate:

"If this corpse is arranged here to confuse future generations' minds, then there is only one candidate that is the most suitable one now!"

The three of them all turned their eyes to Liu Wei. He bought a close call at this time and glanced at Bai Chi. However, seeing that Bai Chi did not think about it, he took a deep breath and smiled:

"I feel that this corpse is the real Zhao Gao!"

Liu Wei's words were too amazing, but at this time, several people could only think deeply about this sentence. Things have come to this point. If he said that the corpse was from Ying Zheng, Bai Chi might have believed it.

Because I have experienced so many incredible things here, the zombies that were only seen in movies before are now seen enough to play mahjong.

However, if the body is defined as Zhao Gao now, the owner of the palace may be able to move forward according to Bai Chi's speculation.

Because of preconceived ideas, the bamboo slips were discovered as soon as they entered the tomb. The information in the bamboo slips also revealed that the tomb was Zhao Gao's tomb, but Zhao Gao's body was not in the coffin, which shows two reasons. One was that the previous tomb robber moved the body away, and the second was that the body in the coffin was not Zhao Gao's body at all.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional when the builder set up this situation. In short, Bai Chi felt that everything he saw was something that confuses people’s direction before he arrived at this palace.

Liu Wei's guess made Bai Chi and the other two not know what to say. At this time, the vulgar man suddenly exclaimed, Bai Chi suddenly came to his senses and asked:

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

The vulgar man bent down carefully. Bai Chi looked in his direction and found a wooden box under the feet of the corpse.

Because I was at the beginning of focusing all my attention behind the corpse, I ignored this direction.

The vulgar man screamed twice again, then reached out to open the wooden box. At this time, Liu Wei suddenly kicked the vulgar man's hand away. Before he could react, he said cautiously:

"This wooden box cannot be opened!"

Bai Chi was not sure, thinking that Liu Wei meant something dangerous inside, and said with a wry smile:

"You said there is an organ in it?"

Liu Wei shook his head, and Lao Qian looked at him for a while and said:

"This wooden box has no threat, but it is a wire that triggers the mechanism. If it is opened rashly, it will trigger the mechanism. Judging from the orientation of the wooden box, this mechanism is connected to the belly of the corpse, and there may be a dark crossbow or something else inside!"

Bai Chi took a breath. His current location was exactly opposite the corpse. If the wretched man had just opened the wooden box directly, the distance was so close, if it was really like Lao Qian said, he might have been penetrated immediately by the dark crossbow.

The vulgar man apologized and smiled bitterly at Bai Chi. Bai Chi had no intention of blaming him, and pointed his eyes at Lao Qian and asked:

"You said that the mechanism is set on the body, so can we climb on the ground and open the wooden box, so that we can avoid the attack of hidden weapons."

Old Qian shook his head and said:

"No, I'm not sure if the dark crossbow is in the belly of the corpse. If it's around us, or above our heads, it's not easy to deal with!"

When I heard that Bai Chi was above my head, I was a little confused. If there was something like this above our heads, it would instantly turn the four of us into scum!

The slutty man laughed, looked at the bronze sword in Lao Qian's hand and said:

"If it doesn't work, we will split the wooden box directly. It has not been opened anyway, and the hidden weapon cannot be activated!"

Bai Chi was shocked. How could a wretched man say such a low IQ? The effect of this wooden box must be extraordinary, and the things placed inside must be very attractive. If the wooden box is blindly destroyed, it is likely that even the things inside will be damaged.

Bai Chi can understand this truth, but I don’t know what the vulgar man thought in his heart.

This time it was Bai Chi's turn to deny the wretched man's opinion. He was obviously a little confused and muttered:

"This is not OK, that is not OK. Otherwise, let's go home quickly and save time here and be scared!"

Bai Chi glanced at the vulgar man without saying anything.

Liu Wei moved over and took the knife back. He reached out and touched the abdomen of the corpse carefully, and then his face changed. It was probably Lao Qian who really hit it. The belly of the corpse was really strange.

All three of them looked at Liu Wei, and he bent down again and repeated Lao Qian's actions just now. After watching for about a minute, Liu Wei suddenly stood up and said affirmatively:

"This wooden box can be opened, but it's a bit dangerous!"

Bai Chi just heard the previous sentence and suddenly became energetic, but another basin of cold water was poured on the latter sentence.

Isn't this the same as saying nothing? Anyone can open it, but the consequence may be that the whole army is wiped out.

Liu Wei continued:

"You retreat to the door later. If I'm not wrong, there is a silver wire that triggers the mechanism in this wooden box. As long as you cut the silver wire before it triggers the mechanism, there will be no danger!"

Why did Bai Chi feel like he was dismantling a bomb? He wondered if one of the wooden boxes would explode if they didn’t get the right one?

At this time, Lao Qian slowly stepped back. Bai Chi took a casual look and found that Lao Qian's eyes were very strange, as if he was reluctant to let go of that...

The vulgar man planned to retreat outside the door, but Bai Chi said because he was worried about Liu Wei's next situation:

"Be careful later. If you die, we will be missing one person!"

Liu Wei's movements suddenly stopped. Maybe he didn't expect Bai Chi to show his position at this time. Bai Chi's words really conveyed a meaning to Liu Wei, that is, Bai Chi has defined you as his own person. If you dare to be careless next, not only will you be killed by a hidden weapon, but others will not be much better.

After saying that, Bai Chi and the vulgar man slowly walked outside the door. At this time, Old Qian made a gesture to Liu Wei that he could start. Several people did not dare to show up and quietly watched his movements. Even Bai Shisan outside the door also stared at Liu Wei's movements from afar.

Liu Wei's series of actions are very simple, but also very fast.

He took out two needle-like things, then stuck one into the gap in the wooden box, and slowly inserted the other one into it, and tried it from left to right.

When he reached the middle of the wooden box, Liu Wei suddenly became cautious because the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Next, it may be that the silver wire of the wooden box was found. Liu Wei slowly opened the wooden box, and suddenly a 'cruff' came out of the wooden box.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. At this moment, Bai Chi really sweated coldly for Liu Wei. Fortunately, the sound was not the sound of the body that was turned on, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Liu Wei reached out and wiped his forehead, then carefully reached into the wooden box. Immediately afterwards, a crisp broken sound came from Liu Wei. At the same time, Bai Chi also knew that the silver thread was broken.

However, Liu Wei waved his hand to Bai Chi and told him not to go over. He pulled his hand back and tried it with a long needle. He confirmed that there was no other danger and waved.

When the three of them arrived one after another, Liu Wei had already opened the wooden box. There was nothing else in it except a roll of bamboo slips...

The vulgar man couldn't help but scold:

"I'm so stingy. The agency is so dangerous but I'm doing such a thing in it. I feel that it's not worth it for Liu Wei's frightened mood just now!"

"screw you!"

Bai Chi smiled and said:

"Will something that can be placed in this box be something that can be seen everywhere?"

While speaking, Liu Wei had already taken out the bamboo slips. After spreading them out, he found that the words engraved on them were all unmovable. At this time, Lao Qian was suitable for appearance. After looking at them for a long time, his face changed again and again. After deliberating on every word, he said:

"This is not a tomb for one person!"

"Um?"

Bai Chi didn't realize what he meant and asked:

"It's the tomb of how many people?"

Lao Qian was silent for a while, as if summarizing what to explain next. The wretched man was a little anxious because of him. When he planned to ask again, Lao Qian said:

"I didn't explain it clearly just now. In fact, we had guessed this tomb when we met the second tomb. It was indeed Zhao Gao's tomb."

Damn! Why do you feel a little confused when you hear this? If it is Zhao Gao’s tomb, then who belongs to this corpse? Don’t say it is not Zhao Gao’s?

Old Qian seemed to be deliberately stimulating Bai Chi. As soon as this idea arose, he said:

"The bamboo slip says that this corpse is Zhao Gao!"

Bai Chi then said to Lao Qian:

"You finish talking quickly, don't pee like you!"

Old Qian looked at Bai Chi resentfully and muttered:

"Boss, do you think it's easy to see this? I'm slowly thinking about the meaning above!"

Bai Chi said angrily:

"Then you think about it quickly, and you can understand and then finish talking!"

As the wretched man explained little by little, Bai Chi finally knew what was going on... (To be continued.)
