Chapter 197: The Hidden Secret(1/2)
The wretched man on the side had completely forgotten about the jade corpse just now, and muttered with a smile:
"I'll watch for a while and let's pull the golden thread off this bird!"
Lao Qian shook his head and advised:
"You can't do this. This big bird should have been placed here deliberately when the palace was being built. Maybe it was to keep something. We haven't figured out these things yet, so we can't do it rashly!"
Bai Chi looked sideways at Liu Wei and found that he was looking into Big Bird's eyes, with some unnatural worry in his eyes.
Lao Qian and the wretched man stopped talking. They rubbed their hands and admired each other.
I don’t know why, when I see this stone phoenix, I always feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before. This is not seen in the traditional sense, but from the depths of my soul. To put it in layman’s terms, it’s like people are born with it.
I like the feeling of money.
Baichi didn't know when this feeling arose, but at this moment, the feeling of depression in his heart was extremely strong. If it persisted, it was as if he saw a divine bird reduced to ashes in the flames, and then reborn in nirvana.
Suddenly, Bai Chi felt someone patting him. He quickly turned his head and saw that the wretched man was looking at him in panic and asked:
"Boss, what were you doing just now?"
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. He secretly thought that something was strange just now. After taking a breath, Bai Chi said with lingering fear:
"I don't know, I feel like my soul sank into the abyss at this moment!"
Liu Wei turned his head and said with a faint smile:
"My boss, this is not the fall of the soul, but the sublimation of the soul!"
Bai Chi looked at Liu Wei in surprise and asked:
"You mean you felt this way just now?"
Liu Wei smiled softly, turned his head and stopped talking. Bai Chi was too lazy to ask the question. This person was used to being mysterious. If he told the answer all at once, Bai Chi would not be able to adapt to it.
The next moment Liu Wei coughed dryly, and then he slowly moved the miner's lamp away from the stone sculpture and extended it to the sky in the direction of his head.
In an instant, the vision of several people disappeared into the darkness, and directly above, a scene that they should have expected appeared.
A mummy has its hands tied with two chains and is hanging in the air. It is only more than 20 meters away from Baichi and the others. The clothes on its body have been corroded by time and are full of holes...
At this time, Bai Chi knew who this person was without much explanation. He was Ying Ziying, the most controversial person in history...
"Damn, this is incredible!"
The wretched man raised his head and muttered involuntarily.
At this time, Lao Qian also smacked his lips in surprise. In fact, from the moment he walked out of the palace, Bai Chi thought that Lao Qian also knew that there was Ying Ziying's body behind the palace, but now seeing him showing such an expression, it didn't look like he was pretending.
.
Bai Chi turned his head in confusion and saw Liu Wei staring at the body hanging in mid-air in a daze.
Bai Chi looked over there again and asked to himself:
"Why is his body not in the palace, but here instead?"
The wretched man was closest to Bai Chi and replied:
"What else is the boss thinking about now? Even if his body is riding on that bird's neck, it has nothing to do with us!"
Bai Chi glared at the wretched man, but Lao Qian said:
"This doesn't seem to be a burial custom."
Bai Chi looked at Lao Qian in surprise and thought: What could this be if it wasn't a tomb? Could it be that Ying Ziying was reborn as he imagined...
Liu Wei finally spoke again at this time and said:
"Master is right, this is indeed not a burial custom!"
"Everyone knows this isn't true. Look at Ying Ziying's body, it's obvious that he has been tortured!"
The wretched man thought for a moment and then said:
"I'm thinking, he should have been tied up while still alive?"
Bai Chi shook his head, what kind of nonsense is this wretched man talking about? From the box under Zhao Gao's feet, he already knew that this place was built by Ying Ziying, who would hang himself alive in this place if he had nothing to do.
But in an instant, Bai Chi remembered something. Both Lao Qian and Liu Wei said that this was not an ordinary burial custom. If this relationship is excluded, what would this place be? It can't be a place where torture is used to extract confessions!
Thinking that Ying Ziying was killed by Xiang Yu, Bai Chi had a ridiculous idea in his mind, but he denied it and forced himself to smash this nonsense.
Lao Qian suddenly slapped his head and shouted:
"I remembered, this is the pattern of sacrifice!"
Liu Wei nodded and said in agreement:
"This is indeed a sacrificial pattern!"
Bai Chi tilted his head and planned to ask Liu Wei, but then gave up the idea, and finally looked at Lao Qian and asked:
"Who do you think this is for?"
Lao Qian shrugged to Bai Chi and replied:
"Master, I don't know the details about this!"
Bai Chi wondered in his mind that if this thing were called a sacrifice, it would be very meaningful.
This kind of ritual is basically aimed at ghosts and gods, but except for a mummy hanging in mid-air or a stone sculpture in front of several people, there is no object of sacrifice at all.
As he spoke, the wretched man turned back to look at the stone sculpture and suddenly said:
"It's better to strike first, otherwise, all these golden threads will become mine!"
Bai Chi glared at the wretched man and said:
"All you can think about now is money. It will take at least several hours to remove these gold threads. Then we will leave. You can slowly remove them alone!"
The wretched man scratched his bald head and said nothing more, but still looked at the stone sculpture with great reluctance.
Bai Chi glanced at the wretched man again, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't think about it carefully. The situation just now was not clear yet. Thinking of this, Bai Chi suddenly looked at the stone phoenix, and he seemed to understand in his heart.
It’s not that there is no object of sacrifice here, but that it has been ignored. The phoenix is a sacred bird, so the object of sacrifice is this stone phoenix!
Bai Chi's body trembled. This problem has been solved, and the answer to the next question is that Ying Ziying is the sacrificial object of the phoenix bird.
Bai Chi only felt his ears burning, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. All of this seemed complicated, but after careful observation, the answer was so simple, but it was also unbelievable.
Liu Wei saw Bai Chi's shock and said with a very cold expression:
"Yingziying is the object to be sacrificed!"
Bai Chi already knew the answer, but when it came out of Liu Wei's mouth, it had a different taste. Now that the matter has been determined, Bai Chi originally didn't intend to believe it, but now he must believe it.
For some reason, Bai Chi suddenly felt helpless. His legs involuntarily took a step forward. Bai Shisan suddenly grabbed Bai Chi and asked Bai Chi:
"Master, why are you going?"
Bai Chi suddenly came back to his senses and saw that he had walked to the opposite side, and at this time there was a chain hanging under his neck.
Bai Chi took a breath, the chain was very close to his nose...
Bai Shisan dragged Bai Chi back. At this time, the miner's lamp in his hand inadvertently shined on the ground. Bai Chi suddenly discovered that there was a large dense mass of things carved at the feet of the stone sculpture.
Seeing this, Bai Chi hurriedly shook off Bai Shisan's hand and snatched the miner's lamp from the wretched man's hand. The wretched man was surprised at first, but when he saw Bai Chi hurriedly shining his light on the ground, he also came over.
The wretched man looked at it for a while. These were not fonts he recognized. Because Lao Qian didn't know that Bai Chi had discovered this thing, he thought about his problem thoughtfully. Instead, Liu Wei came over to look at it for a while.
Bai Chi glanced sideways at Liu Wei and saw that his face was pale and the corners of his mouth began to tremble involuntarily.
Damn! I was surprised. Isn’t this girl obsessed with watching this?
Bai Chi reached out and pushed Liu Wei. Liu Wei trembled violently, then looked at Bai Chi with a trembling mouth, and slurred:
"Master, this is something that ordinary people can't see!"
When Bai Chi heard this, he was horrified. This is not something that ordinary people can see. Who could see it? Bai Chi suddenly remembered Liu Wei's profession, and his face instantly turned pale. He pointed with his finger and asked:
"Don't tell me this is for ghosts!?"
Liu Wei's sudden expression really startled Bai Chi. After listening to Liu Wei's trembling words, Bai Chi began to feel uncertain. Could this thing really be for ghosts?
Liu Wei slowly squatted on the ground, shiveringly took out a cigarette and lit it, and explained softly to Bai Chi with a very ugly face:
"This thing is not for ghosts to see, because it contains things that are not recorded in history books!"
Bai Chi stared at Liu Wei dumbfounded, and the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. What exactly did it mean, Liu Wei seemed unwilling to reveal it!
Lao Qian came back to his senses at some point and saw Bai Chi standing there, but Liu Wei was squatting on the ground, so he hurried over.
"Master, what are you two doing here?"
Lao Qian was walking in front and was startled when he saw that the two people looked very ugly. When they turned the corner, they saw those words on the ground.
Liu Wei suddenly shouted:
"Don't look!"
This sound almost frightened Lao Qian. When he looked at it carefully, his expression instantly changed.
At this time, both Liu Wei and Lao Qian were staring at the ground, and the wretched man was about to cry because he couldn't understand what was written on it.
