Wang Kaixuan turned a deaf ear to Hu Bayi's teasing and showed off the massage skills he learned from his technician friend.
After enjoying the Fatty Wang Edition limited service for a while, Chen Ziyan gave a cheerful answer: "Have you forgotten that besides us, there are also those trapped in this tomb?"
Although I don’t know if those people are still alive, these words are not false.
Wang Kaixuan didn't understand it immediately, and asked with some confusion: "Master Chen, what do you mean by this? Do you want to exchange those people for ransom?"
After finishing speaking, before Chen Ziyan could answer, he shook his head: "No, if we do it this way, the nature of the matter will be different."
Although this fat man usually looks out of place, he can still handle serious matters clearly.
If the prisoners are really exchanged for ransom, how do you explain it to the public security and militia outside or tell them something else? This is equivalent to actively giving the other party a clue.
Wang Kaixuan had been involved in three religions and nine streams for many years, and he knew that morality in this era had changed. If he really wanted to blackmail him, he might be punished one day.
To be honest, Wang Kaixuan would rather deal with these people here quietly than exchange money for it.
Hearing what Wang Kaixuan said, Hu Bayi, who had looked disgusted just now, showed a touch of relief in his eyes.
Chen Ziyan smiled and said: "What are you thinking about? How much are these three melons and two dates worth? I'm talking about the information hidden in their heads. Do you think any of these people are not veterans in this industry? How much? There is some ancient tomb information at the bottom of the box.”
The reason why he changed his name to hidden treasures was because he considered that these things had no substance for the time being.
Although it is impossible for everyone to have one, it is enough if one can be asked.
Wang Kaixuan was very smart in this regard and immediately understood what Chen Ziyan meant: "I understand, Master Chen. Those guys are all veterans. If there is really information about the ancient tomb, they must be the ones to deal with it." There are places that cannot be reached, and there must be a lot of treasures in these places."
Chen Ziyan nodded slightly: "That's almost it."
That's what he meant.
Hu Bayi said with some worry: "But the risk is not small. What if these guys deliberately cause harm and give us a dangerous position?"
Hu Bayi knew that although it could not be said that there were not all good people in this industry, bad people usually lived longer.
If he were placed in a corresponding place, he would definitely reveal the most dangerous places he knew.
If you can survive afterwards, you will earn money. If you don't survive afterwards, you may be able to bring some people to be buried with you.
Chen Ziyan was certainly aware of Hu Bayi's concerns, but he didn't pay too much attention. Instead, he said with a smile: "Then it depends on our fat master's methods."
Wang Kaixuan immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, depending on Fatty's methods, I guarantee that they will tell you everything."
Hu Ba stopped saying anything when he saw this. He knew that Chen Ziyan would say this, and he must have had a plan in mind.
After staying in the Hades Hall for a while and finding nothing, they passed through the stone gate and came to the front hall.
According to the layout of ancient Chinese mausoleums, the underworld hall is the most important, followed by the front hall.
There is a saying that goes, 'things die like things live'.
This shows that in the eyes of the ancients, the importance of things after death is no less important than those during life.
The front hall is built to imitate the place where he lived during his lifetime. It can be said that the front hall in this tomb is what the living residence is like.
The same is true for this Tang Dynasty mausoleum. The front hall is larger than the underworld hall, but because the construction was stopped halfway, the pavilions and halls are all semi-finished products that have not yet been completed.
Standing outside the stone gate and looking around, I found that the framework here is complete, but some buildings have not been completely repaired.
There is a small fountain pool on the ground of this underground palace. Water is bubbling out of the spring. The sound of water flow they heard before came from here.
Hu Bayi looked at the small fountain and said, "This is the rumored coffin gush. There is such a spring in the tomb, which is a top-notch treasure."
Wang Kaixuan stared at the water in the fountain and asked curiously: "Does this water have any miraculous effects? Is it like the water bladder we encountered before?"
Judging from his appearance, it is estimated that as soon as Hu Bay says the word 'yes', the container on his body will be filled immediately.
Hu Bayi explained helplessly: "Of course not, the two are completely different things. Water bladder is a rare condensed water of vitality. What is here is just an external manifestation caused by Feng Shui. In fact, it is ordinary groundwater. There is no What a magical effect.”
"oh."
Hearing what he said, Wang Kaixuan instantly lost interest in the coffin.
Because the stone gate of this underground palace has been completely sealed, after staying here for a while, the group of them returned along the original route and went to the back hall and the side halls on both sides to have a look. Unfortunately, they were as empty as the Hades Palace. .
After returning to the Hades Palace again, Wang Kaixuan suddenly asked: "That's not right, Mr. Chen, we have looked around this tomb, why don't we see the shadows of the Wushuang brothers and those people?"
He also suddenly realized this.
Others also looked at Chen Ziyan, wanting to hear what he would say.
Just like Wang Kaixuan said, they have already visited this tomb, and the rest is the peripheral area sealed outside the stone gate. Is it possible that Wushuang Ghost and those people will be there?
"Look at that."
Chen Ziyan did not answer this question directly, but pointed to the southeast corner of the Hades Hall.
Everyone followed his guidance and saw a figure that looked like a lake appearing in the corner that was empty just now.
Because only a little light is refracted by the flashlight, I can barely see the outline of a human figure, but I can't see it more clearly.
At this time, they were standing at the stone gate of the side hall and the underworld hall. Because the distance was relatively far away, the figure looked even weirder.
Wang Kaixuan looked at the figure and asked tentatively: "Brother Wushuang, is that you?"
A figure suddenly appeared here, and the first thing he thought of was the Wushuang ghost who had already come down.
As for the other people, their height doesn't fit the bill.
No response was received, and Wang Kaixuan was still silent.
After waiting for a while, when he saw that the figure was still motionless, Wang Kaixuan became cruel and shined his flashlight directly.
They were now outnumbered and had weapons at their side. No matter what was on the opposite side, he was not afraid. Since he was silent, he would see what happened for himself.
Then when the flashlight shone away, what appeared in the light was a stone statue.
Behind the stone statue, there was a huge stone coffin, but their attention was previously attracted by the stone statue, so they did not notice the lower stone coffin.
"Hey, you, there's a stone coffin popping up here?" Wang Kaixuan's attention was immediately attracted.
They had looked at this carefully before. At that time, except for the half-finished murals on the wall, this Hades Palace was absolutely empty.
How could he go out for such a long walk and then come back and find a stone coffin?
On the other hand, Hu Bayi said thoughtfully: "This stone coffin should not be from the Tang tomb, but from the ghost tomb."
As he spoke, he slowly moved closer and looked at the stone coffin that suddenly appeared.
The stone coffin was gray in color, about 3.5 meters long and 1.7 meters high. The whole body was made of whole stone, and there was a giant human face embossed on the four sides and on the cover of the coffin.
These human faces seem to be the decoration of stone coffins. The carvings are clear and detailed. They look no different from ordinary people, except that their ears are slightly larger, their eyes are straight, and there is no expression on their faces. Although they know they are stone coffins, they still give them a sense of People feel an indescribable weirdness.
Although this was just a relief on the stone coffin, it gave Hu Bayi a very dangerous feeling.
His intuition kept warning him not to open the stone coffin rashly.
Seeing Hu Bayi walking over, the others naturally followed.
Wang Kaixuan looked at this strange-looking stone coffin and asked, "Why does this thing look so evil? I think everything related to the ghost tomb is quite weird."
The cold feeling emanating from the stone coffin not only made Hu Bayi feel bad, but also Wang Kaixuan, who had always been greedy for money, no longer wanted to open a museum to collect treasures.
Given his character, the intimidating power of this stone coffin can be imagined.
Chen Ziyan was also staring closely at the stone coffin. If he was most curious about something in the tomb before, it was undoubtedly the stone coffin from the Ghost Tomb in front of him.
In the original plot, Hu Bayi and others, after weighing the pros and cons, chose to turn a blind eye to the sudden appearance of the stone coffin.
But Chen Ziyan wanted to open the coffin and see what was inside.
However, he was not in a hurry to open the coffin right now. He planned to wait until he reunited with the Wushuang Ghost.
If there really are any big rice dumplings here, it will be easy to deal with then.
Perhaps aware of Chen Ziyan's intention, Hu Bayi said quickly: "Let's avoid causing trouble and go find Brother Wushuang first."
Wang Kaixuan also responded from the side: "Yes, I guess they ran outside the underground palace. Let's go back down and dig a hole outside. We will find them soon."
Although Shirley Yang and Ding Sitian did not speak, their silent attitude was also a sign of recognition.
It was okay for Shirley Yang, but Ding Sitian was also experienced in life and death. The first time she saw the stone coffin, she already felt a sense of danger.
However, Hu Bayi had already taken the lead in saying to leave, so she didn't say anything more.
"Okay, then I'll go find Wushuang first." Chen Ziyan did not refuse. After all, his original idea was to find Wushuang ghost first before talking about anything else.
But as luck would have it, just when they were about to return to the robbery cave, a head suddenly popped up from below.
This sudden scene really startled them. If Chen Ziyan hadn't stopped him quickly with his quick eyes and hands, Wang Kaixuan's engineer shovel would have hit them.
When I calmed down and took a closer look, I realized that the head that emerged from the thief's cave was the Wushuang ghost I just talked about.
"Brother Wushuang, do you know what it means to be scary?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help complaining after seeing clearly.
"The First Clan"
However, Wushuang Guili ignored him and remained silent as before. After placing the wooden box he carried with him next to him, he got out of it directly.
After Wushuang Ghost came out, the attention of others, including Wang Kaixuan, was attracted by his next actions.
I saw a rope tied around Wushuanggui's wrist. After standing at the entrance of the thief's cave, he grabbed the rope and lifted it, and more than a dozen people escaped from inside.
These people are obviously the people who followed them before, but I don't know if they are the only ones trapped here, or if they are the only ones trapped here.
Although these people did not look like they were hurt, their mental outlook was generally very poor, and their faces were full of exhaustion.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan noticed with sharp eyes that after seeing himself and others, these people actually showed a hint of joy, which made him a little confused.
But Chen Ziyan did not show it, but stood quietly aside, watching Wushuang Ghost take the prisoners out of the robbery cave one by one.
After the last person came out, he came up with an accurate number.
Seventeen!
Wushuanggui captured a total of seventeen people.
This number is not too many, but too few.
You must know that after getting rid of the few who stayed up there, the number of people who came down at the beginning was far more than these. It would have to be at least doubled, or even tripled.
Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan walked to the wooden box that Wushuang Ghost had put aside and knocked on it a few times.
And when he knocked the second time, a pair of smart little eyes saw him through the ventilation hole, and then a gap opened in the wooden box, and then an exquisite and small figure sprang out from inside and went straight into Chen Ziyan's arms. .
This is exactly the second level of protection originally arranged by Chen Ziyan, his spirit weasel - Little Fairy Girl.
After firmly catching the little fairy who came out, Chen Ziyan gently scratched her chin and asked the doubts in his heart: "Have you only met so many people since you came down?"
"Squeak—" Little Fairy Girl squinted her eyes in enjoyment, and after hearing Chen Ziyan's words, she called out softly.
After hearing the little fairy's answer, Chen Ziyan felt a little relieved, but also had new doubts.
Because the little fairy told him that only these seventeen people entered the tomb, and the others did not appear nearby at all.
For some reason, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of those people hiding in the underground passage. He had a hunch that this unexpected change might have something to do with those people.
But he had no clue what the specific connection was, so he had no way of knowing.
Afterwards, he continued to ask some questions, and then he learned that after Wushuanggui and the others entered the underground, they first walked around the underground passage for a while, and then found the outer area of the underground palace. Shortly after arriving at the outer area, they Without knowing it, I entered a very ancient tomb.
After Wushuang Ghost caught everyone who entered, he stayed there quietly, waiting for the arrival of his master, Chen Ziyan.
Just now, the scene they were in changed again, from a tomb to a robbery cave.
The Wushuang Ghost's location was just below the entrance of the cave, so he didn't come out at all, but appeared directly there.
