After figuring out the specific experience of his favor during the separation period, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the prisoners again.
Because he was worried about what happened to Chen Ziyan just now, Wang Kaixuan actively took over Wushuanggui's job. At this time, the ropes binding the prisoners were already in his hands.
Others stood aside with weapons in hand, watching these people vigilantly to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
Although these people are mentally depressed and weak, they will not despise each other because of this.
Although I have never experienced it personally, I have heard many stories about boats capsizing in the sewer.
But this also meant that they had no time to pay attention to Chen Ziyan. In addition, Chen Ziyan's voice was very low, so except for Shirley Yang who was closest to him, no one else heard him at all.
Shirley Yang faced the prisoners, but out of the corner of her eye, she kept peeking at Chen Ziyan and the lazy little fairy in his arms. She felt that this person really became more and more mysterious the more she came into contact with him.
However, she wisely kept all her doubts in her heart and had no intention of asking.
She knew the extent of her relationship with the other party, and she didn't think that if she asked, the other party would answer truthfully, and she would just pretend to be perfunctory and not listen.
Chen Ziyan didn't know that his actions had inadvertently deepened Shirley Yang's curiosity about him. He was now thinking in his mind as to why he should open the stone coffin.
Rice Ball Exploration
From Hu Bayi's reaction just now, he knew that these people were very afraid of Shi Cun and did not want to act too arbitrary, so he needed a good reason to convince them.
At this moment, a middle-aged man among the seventeen prisoners suddenly said: "Can you let us eat something, drink some water, and have a good rest?"
When these people came down, they didn't expect to stay for so long, so they didn't bring much supplies, especially food and drinking water.
Half of what they look like now is because of this.
"Eat whatever you want. If you don't eat even one meal, you will starve to death." After Wang Kaixuan heard this, he kicked him without thinking, knocking him to his knees, making him look like an unscrupulous fat man. The image of an overseer.
His kick could be described as merciless. If these people were not tied to a rope, they would definitely kick the middle-aged man to the ground.
Seeing such a scene, Ding Sitian couldn't help but frown slightly, and her cherry lips couldn't help but squirm twice, but after seeing Hu Bayi's calm expression, she still didn't say anything.
Hu Bayi naturally noticed her situation, but he just shook his head slightly and said nothing.
If the situation permits, they don't mind giving these prisoners supplies, but it is absolutely impossible for them to eat and drink enough.
And when this person mentioned this matter at this time, it was difficult not to make people doubt his intentions.
So Hu Bayi said nothing, because Wang Kaixuan was more professional than him in dealing with this situation, so it was better for him not to interfere without authorization.
Hu Bayi did not intervene rashly, but Chen Ziyan said quietly at this moment: "Fat man, these people just do what you said just now. Don't waste time by doing unnecessary things. Just go through the process and get what we want." , those who are willing to cooperate will be thrown to the outsiders afterwards, and those who are unwilling to cooperate... just stay here forever."
There are more and more things going on now, and Chen Ziyan no longer wants to waste time on them, so that's why he said this.
He felt that there was no need to give any polite preferential treatment to people who wanted to do harm to him, he could just use the means to get it done.
As for whether the other party would jump over the wall in a hurry, he didn't care at all.
When these people are fully armed and full of energy, Wushuang Ghost can capture them all alive, let alone in their current state.
Moreover, Fatty Wang is not a fool. It is impossible for these people to play tricks on him.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, just take a look." Wang Kaixuan responded immediately.
After hearing this, the seventeen prisoners all stopped slightly in their steps. Except for a few whose eyes were full of fear, the rest of them subconsciously showed a fierce look.
Again, if you can stay in this industry for a long time, you cannot say that there are no good people, but most of them are definitely ruthless people.
And ruthless people will never be willing to be killed. When faced with the threat of death, they will do everything they can to resist, even if they know they will not succeed, they still have to make the enemy pay the price.
However, these people had no desperate plans at this time, because they were not too stupid and could hear another meaning in Chen Ziyan's words.
If you cooperate obediently, you will survive!
Lei Zi outside, these short five words revealed a lot of information.
The reaction of the people around him to this sentence undoubtedly added a bit of credibility, which was enough to ignite their desire to survive.
It is one thing that Chen Ziyan is impatient, but he will not deliberately force these people to resist. The reason why he says this is to put a sense of oppression on them.
So no matter how cruel they were in their hearts, after a brief stagnation, these people once again returned to their original appearance. Under Wang Kaixuan's urging, they obediently walked towards the side hall.
After getting Chen Ziyan's approval, Wang Kaixuan didn't want to waste a second. He just wanted to get valuable information out of these people's mouths as soon as possible.
Watching Wang Kaixuan and the captives disappear at the stone gate, neither Chen Ziyan nor Hu Bayi had any intention of following to help. They both believed that Wang Kaixuan could do this well.
After the people left completely, Ding Sitian finally couldn't bear the doubts in her heart and asked, "Is it unreasonable and legal for you to do this?"
She thought Chen Ziyan was teasing Wang Kaixuan before, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She could imagine what methods Wang Kaixuan would use to achieve his goal.
Although Ding Sitian is not an inflexible person, this is the first time she has encountered such a thing.
She felt that if Wang Kaixuan really used some kind of lynching, wouldn't it cause a lot of trouble if these people tell the truth afterwards.
What's more, no matter how you look at it, this kind of behavior does not look like the behavior of a decent person.
Chen Ziyan did not answer Ding Sitian's question, but winked at Hu Bayi, indicating that he would solve the problem.
As soon as Hu Ba understood it, he looked at Ding Sitian and said, "Sitian, you have never been in contact with such a person before, so you don't understand the mystery inside."
He now has some understanding of Ding Sitian's experience, and knows that although she often goes through life and death, she mostly faces strange things and monsters, rather than the twists and turns of people's hearts, so he said this.
Ding Sitian didn't speak. She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.
Later, Hu Bayi asked: "Take the request of that person just now, do you think we should meet his request?"
Ding Sitian thought for a while and said: "If we are afraid that they will take the opportunity to recover their strength, then we can supply the minimum quantity."
She could think of this and knew that if those people regained their strength, they would probably do something.
Hu Bayi asked again: "Then do you think he asked for food and water really just to replenish his physical strength?"
Ding Sitian frowned: "Is there any other purpose?"
"Of course, his real purpose of doing this is to test our bottom line and even part of our character." Hu Bayi answered.
When he was in the army, he would never have thought about things so deeply, because the environment at that time did not make it necessary.
But where he is now, he can better understand the stories his grandfather told back then, and he can also understand that the most terrifying thing is the human heart.
Under such circumstances, he had to think twice when something happened.
Just like what happened this time, the other party's request is actually very simple, but the hidden thoughts are not as simple as they appear.
If they happily provide food and drinking water, there is no guarantee that the other party will not make further demands until they test their bottom line.
And by that time, it is very likely that these prisoners have already made some preparations, and what will greet them will definitely not be gratitude, but some deeper malice.
It is true that Hu Bayi may be overthinking or overestimating the other party.
But he didn't dare to gamble, didn't dare to risk his own safety and the safety of his partners.
After all, these prisoners are not people who can be kind to you with a little favor. Not to mention guys like this who have been engaged in illegal activities all year round. Even ordinary people who can be seen everywhere will never pay sincerely for this. Thank you.
It’s hard to see how many people have been beaten down, and how many good intentions have been consumed by malicious intentions.
After hearing Hu Bayi's words, Ding Sitian fell silent.
She is not a stubborn person, and she also knows the ugliness of human nature, but as Hu Bayi said, although her experiences are magnificent enough, she has only dealt with weird things and anecdotes, and has not had much actual contact with them. type, so for the time being I still use my previous thinking model to think about the problem.
Seeing that Hu Bayi had settled the matter, Chen Ziyan secretly gave him a thumbs up.
With this method, there is hope for the family throne!
Then, he looked at the stone coffin not far away and said softly: "I think that in order to understand the contents of the temple murals, it is necessary to open this stone coffin and take a look."
That's the reason he came up with.
Likewise, it is also his true thoughts.
"This..." Hu Bayi hesitated. This stone coffin gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, and he did not want to open it rashly.
After thinking about it, he looked at Chen Ziyan and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you tell me the reason?"
He wanted to know why Chen Ziyan thought that the stone coffin was related to the temple murals.
Chen Ziyan said the prepared words: "The temple and the black-faced turtle are undoubtedly related to the ghost tomb. Not to mention that both parties appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Even if they are so close, it is difficult to Let the two separate themselves."
These words sounded slightly contradictory, but Hu Bayi understood them clearly.
What Chen Ziyan means is that no matter in terms of time or location, the temple and the original ghost tomb should be together.
And this also raises the possibility that the original temples and ghost tombs were built by the nobles depicted in the murals?
If they want to find evidence that can prove this, they need to start from the ghost tomb, and what they are most likely to find at present is the stone coffin that suddenly appeared in front of them.
After thinking about it, Hu Bayi realized that this was really what happened, and he had no reason to veto Chen Ziyan's proposal.
You can't just rely on your own feelings. Such baseless things are untenable.
However, Hu Bayi still felt that he should be cautious, so he looked at the two girls next to him and asked: "You two, what are your opinions?"
There are five people present now, so it can't just be the two of them who make the decision, other people's opinions must also be listened to.
As for why there are five people, but only four people’s opinions are adopted.
Naturally, Hu Bayi knew Wushuanggui's virtues, so he didn't bother to waste his words, because if he asked, he would only get silence.
In response, Shirley Yang showed an indifferent expression: "You just make the decision, I can do it."
Although Ding Sitian, like Hu Bayi, also felt that there might be some kind of danger in this stone coffin, she wanted to know more about the temple murals, so she said: "We may not know about other places in the Ghost Tomb. I can get in, but I haven’t been able to get any valuable clues so far, so I tend to open the stone coffin.”
Even if this stone coffin is dangerous, the area behind the temple will not be more dangerous.
After hearing the two people's statements, Hu Bayi gave up his thoughts and asked Chen Ziyan directly: "In this case, Mr. Chen...shall you do it or me?"
He is not a procrastinator. Now that the direction of things has been decided, he immediately adjusted his mentality and started to concentrate on this matter.
Chen Ziyan looked at the stone coffin and said, "To be on the safe side, I'll do it."
No one knew what was in this stone coffin, so in order to prevent any accidents, Chen Ziyan thought it would be better to do it himself.
His strength ensures that he can choose the point of exertion at will. Even if there is any mechanical rice dumpling inside, he can still be in a visual blind spot when opening the coffin.
If it were anyone else, it would be very difficult to do this.
And he also has the puppet armor Wushuang Gui guarding him. Although the puppet armor's main job is fighting, he is also a good hand at this kind of physical work.
Regardless of technique, if only strength is concerned, there is no one who can be his opponent.
What's more, if the situation is really serious, Wushuang Ghost can resist immediately, while others do not have such personal protection.
Afterwards, Chen Ziyan asked Hu Bayi to take the two girls back a few steps, and then led Wushuang Ghost to the side of the stone coffin.
He and Wushuang Gui both put their hands on the lid of the stone coffin, and then exerted force in one direction. They only heard a "stuck" sound, and the seemingly extremely heavy lid was slowly pushed away. Move forward.
