Mandrill's body?
Chen Ziyan looked closely and found that, as Shirley Yang said, there were some stitching marks on the sides of these special corpses.
"Put the cauldron lid back first." Chen Ziyan said after looking back.
The most important thing for them now is to get more effective information from the red-robed flash woman, instead of worrying about the details of the corpse in the cauldron.
"Okay." Hu nodded.
After all, it's just a guess that the red-robed Shanpo can't attack them. What if this thing is playing them?
After all, whoever stipulates that ghosts must have the same mindset as humans, let alone a ghost that is thousands of years old.
Therefore, we must take advantage of this opportunity to maximize our benefits.
Seeing that the two leaders in the team said this, the others naturally had no objection.
Immediately, several people restored the removed cauldron cover to its original state in the same manner as before.
After the copper cauldron was restored, Chen Ziyan returned his attention to the red-robed Shan Po. He said to the little green-scaled python:
"Little guy, help me tell it that we have shown sincerity and asked it if it knows what is hidden here."
Chen Ziyan did not follow what Wang Kaixuan and Hu said and asked about the tomb of the king and the treasures in the tomb. He knew without thinking that Shanpo probably didn't know this, so he might as well ask about the jade letter.
At least this place can be regarded as its territory, and maybe it can provide some clues.
"Hiss—" the little green-scaled python relayed truthfully.
After hearing the little green-scaled python relaying the past questions, the red-robed Shanpo's face full of strange makeup turned faintly to a painting wall not far away, and then slowly disappeared in front of everyone.
"What is this?" Wang Kaixuan asked incomprehensibly as he glanced at the place where the red-robed Shan Po disappeared.
Although everyone can't communicate, there is no need to be so perfunctory.
However, Chen Ziyan understood immediately that what the red-robed Shanpo wanted to express was that there was something inside the painted wall.
Of course, this was because he knew beforehand that there was a jade letter hidden in the painting wall, so he was the first to react.
However, although the reactions of others were not as good as his, they soon came up with speculations. Hu tentatively said: "It means...it should be that there is something hidden in that wall painting, right?"
He felt that it should be so, but he couldn't be completely sure.
"You'll know after you try it." Chen Ziyan, who already had the answer in mind, said without hesitation.
There must be something extremely important in the jade letter hidden in the sacrificial hall. Chen Ziyan will not give up easily if he has the chance to get it.
"Do we really want to destroy these paintings?" Shirley Yang asked.
She feels that these painted walls have profound archaeological value and would not want to destroy them if possible.
Faced with Shirley Yang's question, Chen Ziyan just said indifferently: "The things that can hide King Xian here, even if they don't help us enter the tomb next, will definitely be more valuable than these murals."
Shirley Yang only hesitated for a second, then nodded and agreed: "Then let's try it."
She still understands the principle of the lesser of two powers harming each other, not to mention that it may also be related to their next actions.
In the face of her family's curse, these will have to stand aside.
Then she said, "I'll see if I can find the mechanism."
Although she agreed with Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang still wanted to give it a last try, so that even if she had to destroy the painting wall in the end, she would have nothing to regret.
At least... I have a clear conscience.
"Yes, but as soon as possible." Chen Ziyan probably understood her thoughts, so he didn't refuse, but just gave a little time.
After Shirley Yang went to study the painted wall, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the copper cauldron in front of him.
Through inheritance from the bloodline, he can be said to be the person who knows the most about this thing today, and naturally knows how to use it.
He promised red
Pao Shanpo's confidence in handling these corpses comes from this.
Before he received the bloodline inheritance, he might have been afraid that activating the copper cauldron would trigger other mechanisms, but now he no longer had this worry.
However, Chen Ziyan did not take action now, but planned to observe it first and wait until he got the jade letter.
No one noticed that just when they were focusing on the painted wall and the copper cauldron, the red-robed flash woman who had disappeared before quietly appeared behind them again.
But the red-robed Shan Po did not make any sound this time. Instead, after looking at Chen Ziyan's Shengqian bracelet with fear, she turned into a ray of light and got into the bluestone bottle. If Chen Ziyan looked at the bluestone bottle at this time, he would You will find that the jade body inside has been completely formed and has obvious female characteristics.
Obviously, the red-robed flash woman's cooperation just now was not just that she could not hurt Chen Ziyan and the others, but she also had her own plan inside.
At the same time, this also proves that this red-robed Shanpo is far more intelligent than she appears.
However, Chen Ziyan and the others don't know this yet. Although they are always vigilant about their surroundings, most of their attention is focused on the things in front of them.
After circling the copper cauldron twice, Chen Ziyan had found the activated mechanism, and then moved his eyes to Shirley Yang.
Perhaps feeling Chen Ziyan's gaze, Shirley Yang shook her head slightly and said, "Without the mechanism, this wall is just a simple building."
In other words, if something is really hidden inside, the only way to take it out is to destroy the painted wall.
"Then just tear down this wall." Chen Ziyan said.
Since even Shirley Yang couldn't find anything, there is no need for others to check.
"I'll come!" Wang Kaixuan stepped forward immediately.
He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time!
Seeing him like this, Hu didn't forget to remind him: "Fat man, be gentle when you do it."
Although it is inevitable to destroy this painted wall, it is not a bad thing to save a little more. It won't be troublesome anyway, as long as you use some caution when doing it.
"Don't worry!" Wang Kaixuan said without looking back.
He knew that it was too late for him to get started in other areas, so he deliberately learned these jobs that were more physical than technical.
There was no need to explain the process of demolishing the wall. The fat man was quite accomplished in this aspect, so Chen Ziyan soon saw the jade box in his memory.
This jade letter seems to be made from a whole piece of jade, about 30 centimeters long and 14 to 15 centimeters wide. It does not have any decorative patterns on it. There is only a gold edge on the lid. There is no key. Things like holes exist, but after Chen Ziyan took it and tried it, he couldn't open it directly.
It seems that this thing still has a mechanism, but it is not reflected too much on the outside.
After Chen Ziyan looked at the jade box, he put it into his personal space. He planned to wait until he was in a safe place to study it.
Then he raised his flashlight and shined it at the top of the hall, and saw more than a dozen sets of clothes hanging above. There were witch robes similar to those worn by Shan Po, as well as noble clothing, and armor and stomach worn by soldiers. The most eye-catching thing is Shan Po in red robe.
"I said where did this thing go? It turns out to be here." Wang Kaixuan said the moment he saw the red-robed Shan Po.
Although he didn't show it, he was always thinking about where this thing was going.
Now that I see it, I finally feel relieved.
Seeing these different clothes, Hu thought about it and looked at the bronze cauldron: "It seems like there is nothing inside these clothes. The original owner should be the corpse in this cauldron."
Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement: "That's true. Look at the edges. Those sets of clothes are obviously not for adults."
This is the best proof. After all, there is also a child's body in the copper cauldron.
"King Xian has put the barbarian nobles and the gods into a pot." Wang Kaixuan said with emotion.
"He must have a unique reason for doing this. Now that copper
Strictly speaking, the corpse in the cauldron can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. "Ding Sitian said.
Shirley Yang also said: "The similarities are striking. Both King Xian and King Chuang not only use the same copper cauldron to cook prisoners, but also use the highest-status prisoners as the main ingredients. We must be among them. I still don’t know the reason.”
She has always believed that everything happens for a reason, and she feels that the reason for this similar scene may be the same.
Chen Ziyan heard this and said with a smile: "If what I guess is correct, the reason is probably in the jade letter we just found."
Although he still doesn't know what is in the jade letter, he must be right. Otherwise, why would King Xian hide the jade letter in this sacrificial hall.
Hu reminded at this time: "Master Chen, should we withdraw? This place is not a place to stay for a long time."
"Wait a moment, there is one thing left to deal with." Chen Ziyan nodded first and then said.
Now that the jade letter has been obtained, there is no need for them to stay here any longer, so it is time to complete what they promised Shan Po.
Although he doesn't make many promises easily, as long as he promises something, he will try his best to complete it.
Then he activated the mechanism on the copper cauldron. When Chen Ziyan activated the mechanism, he saw a stream of flames spitting out from the mouths of the six beasts at the same time, forming a ring of fire around the bottom of the copper cauldron.
Driven by this ring of fire, the black material in the cauldron began to burn violently. In an instant, the entire copper cauldron was enveloped in flames, like a big fireball.
Because the cauldron lid was sealed, they couldn't see the specific situation, but they could smell the oil and corpses being boiled inside, so they quickly put on their masks.
Seeing this, Hu couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen, is this your method..."
Although what he said later was unspoken, everyone present knew what it was. It was obvious that they also felt that Chen Ziyan's method was a bit unusual. This was not helping to dispose of the body, but simply helping King Xian complete the remaining steps.
You don't need to look now to know what's going on in the cauldron.
Hearing this, Chen Ziyan smiled slightly, then pointed out the long stick in his hand, and hit the connection between the cauldron lid and the cauldron body, creating a gap, and the flames all over the cauldron body poured in instantly after the gap appeared. Among them, Chen Ziyan withdrew his long stick after seeing the flames entering the room.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. When everything inside is burned out, there will be nothing left. Is it possible that you want to take those corpses out and bury them?"
He knew that the copper cauldron had a vent, so it would definitely be able to burn until there was nothing left.
"Then forget it, your method is quite good." Wang Kaixuan said quickly.
The corpses inside had been stored in the cellar for many years. Even though they were wrapped in grease, it was nothing, but when he thought about it, he knew that once they were taken out, they would definitely look terrible. He didn't want to come into close contact with that thing.
Hu Ye also said: "That's good. I didn't see that the flash lady didn't react just now. This means that she agrees with our disposal plan."
"Let's go. I don't know how long this cauldron will continue to burn. There is no need for us to wait here." Chen Ziyan said.
Perhaps because there was no interference from the evil man, the dragon head hidden in the wall did not appear, but even if the other party did not appear, there was no need for them to continue to stay here.
Shirley Yang glanced at the high flames and said, "The air here is so dry, and the structure is mainly made of wood. If it continues to burn like this, it will probably burn down the entire Minglou. "
She was not interested in how to dispose of the corpses, but she did not want to destroy this bright building because of such a thing.
Chen Ziyan said: "Don't worry too much. Don't forget that King Xian originally planned to do this. How could he burn down the entire Minglou just because of this?"
He was not worried about this at all, not to mention that Minglou would not be easily involved. Even if it did, the changes in the celestial phenomena would stop the fire.
Hu also said: "The layer of black outside the cauldron
Most of the colored substances are things like combustion accelerants, which will be consumed quickly, and the fire will naturally come down by then. And I don’t think those Padfoots will last long. It is estimated that only the ones that can still burn will be burned after a while. All that's left is inside the cauldron. "
The fire in the cauldron may not be extinguished even if it is poured, after all, it is a cauldron full of grease.
"Okay." After hearing what he said, Shirley Yang couldn't say anything more.
Now everyone obviously thinks that this is more appropriate, so she can't insist too much on her principle that nothing is too necessary.
After all, the main reason why they went to such a dangerous place was to get the Muchen Beads that could lift the curse, not to protect any antiquities with research value.
"Let's go, leave here first before talking about anything else." After Chen Ziyan finished speaking this time, he took the lead and returned the way he came.
He didn't know if the celestial phenomenon of the black pig crossing the river would come as scheduled, but it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to see it if he stayed here.
Seeing this, the others followed, but just when Wang Kaixuan was about to leave, he suddenly felt like he had hit something under his feet.
He subconsciously looked down and saw that the red-robed Shan Po who was hanging on the top of the hall just now fell down at some point.
