After firing a flare towards the passage where he entered and attracting the remaining corpse moths, Chen Ziyan looked back at the human-shaped gap in the wall at the end and said, "Let's go, even if these corpse moths come back, they can't do anything to us." What harm was caused.”
Don't forget that each of them has a protective suit. If the number of corpse moths is too small, they will not even be able to break through the defense.
This is also the reason why Chen Ziyan was so uncertain from beginning to end, because he knew very well that even if his method did not achieve the expected results, there would be no problems with the protective clothing.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, the others discovered that there was an additional entrance on the white stone wall blocking the road.
"This human-shaped gap is completely natural, and there is no trace of artificial carving on the edge. I think it is not so much that it was dug to place the female corpse just now, but that the woman's corpse exists to fill this gap." Shirley Yang looked at the humanoid gap in front of her and said with an inexplicable expression.
"So there was a vacancy first?" Hu Bayi looked thoughtful after hearing this.
This is really not an unbelievable thing. If this place was not built by King Xian, but existed at all, then this statement would make perfect sense.
"Go in and take a look first. Maybe there will be the answer we want inside." Seeing that the reasoning had stalled again, Chen Ziyan said softly.
Being able to deduce this is already due to the family background of these two people. If there are no other clues, no matter how much thinking comes next, it will be in vain, so he will speak at this time.
"Let's go and take a look inside. I hope this is the real tomb of King Xian." When Shirley Yang heard Chen Ziyan's words, she stopped thinking about the humanoid gap and instead focused on the gap. in.
For her, the most important and only purpose of this trip is to find the Muchen Bead that the Bishan family has been pursuing for generations. Everything else can be put aside, not to mention her own curiosity.
Although Hu Bayi didn't say anything, he nodded slightly in agreement.
In order to prevent danger behind the white wall, everyone did not enter rashly. Instead, they used flashlights to shine inside, wanting to see what was going on inside first.
It can be seen through the flashlight beam that there are not many traces of artificial carvings in this tomb, and the space of the tomb is not very large. There are many stone pillars inside, which is obviously a natural cave.
There were several strange artifacts placed on both sides of the tomb, but their purpose could not be discerned for a while. Not far from them was a copper coffin, but this copper coffin was not only unique in shape, but also very small in size. It shouldn't weigh more than two hundred kilograms, and it doesn't look like a coffin that would be used by a king.
After confirming that there was no danger in the tomb, when I got closer, I discovered that although the copper coffin was made of copper, its main frame was all made of nanmu. The outer copper shell was not as plain as it looked from a distance. Strange, but there are hollow micro-withers on all sides. After cleaning the dust covering it a little, it can be seen that these micro-withers are mainly pavilions and palaces.
A huge copper bird is cast on the top of the copper coffin. Its wings are only slightly spread, and it is about to hold the entire copper coffin under its wings.
The most puzzling thing is that the lid of the copper coffin is not sealed, and there is no corpse inside. There is only a set of bird feathers and jade clothes placed flatly inside.
"This jade garment is of exquisite texture, with feather-shaped jade pieces connected by gold threads... It should be the queen's coffin." Hu Bayi took out the jade garment from the coffin and looked at it before saying.
"Queen? Just this one dress?"
When Wang Kaixuan saw that there was nothing else in the coffin, he scraped the bottom of the coffin with a knife unbelievingly, but there was not even a corpse underneath, not to mention a mezzanine, so he had to look at Hu Bayi who was holding a jade coat. I want to get a reasonable answer.
"Queen?" Hu Bayi pursed his lips in the direction he came in: "If I guessed correctly, the one just now is the queen you mentioned, and she is also the last line of defense left by King Xian for himself."
There is a saying, although whether it is the corpse of the woman or the thousands of corpse moths, it seems that Chen Ziyan has handled it lightly, but Hu Bayi knows very well that this is not an exception. If it is an ordinary tomb robber, If you encounter these, even if the entire army is not wiped out on the spot, there will be heavy casualties.
It is precisely because of this that Hu Bayi feels that this is the last line of defense arranged by King Xian for him.
"Is it possible that this empty coffin is just a decoration, and its actual function is far less than its symbolic meaning?" Ding Sitian put forward another view.
Shirley Yang thought of the Muchen Bead she was looking for and said, "The Muchen Bead is also known as the Phoenix Gallbladder. The bird and beast on this copper coffin may be a phoenix. Maybe this special copper coffin is used to hold the Muchen Bead." From Chenzhu?”
"I think... instead of making random guesses around the copper coffin with no clues, it is better to take a look at these murals and artifacts. If this is really the tomb of King Xian, then all his secrets should be here."
While several people were thinking, Chen Ziyan's voice sounded slowly.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's words, several people suddenly realized that they were focusing on studying the copper coffin and completely ignored the murals in the tomb.
You must know that compared to the coffin, the murals are the best way to understand the tomb owner.
Immediately, several people came to Chen Ziyan and looked at the murals on the wall together.
The murals in this tomb are completely different from the exquisite paintings outside. The composition and brushwork are extremely simple, and they seem to be the product of King Xian's personal drawings.
The reason why people think this is the product of King Xian's own hands is because the content inside... is definitely King Xian's biggest secret.
The first part of this chapter is not that King Xian left the ancient Dian Kingdom and came to the mountains to create his own kingdom, but that he received an inheritance from afar when he was young.
It was this unique inheritance that enabled King Xian to learn the art of evil and know the secrets hidden deep in Zhelong Mountain, which eventually led him to take the Muchen Pearl away and attack the people who originally occupied it. The Yi tribe spent a lifetime of energy and time building such a strange tomb of King Xian.
"It says that King Xian was taught by a foreigner when he was young. Not only did he learn advanced techniques, he also learned a secret related to immortality when the foreigner was dying." Hu Bayi frowned when he saw this.
Immortality... these two words are too vague.
He seriously doubted whether King Xian had been deceived.
"This stranger seems to be the source of everything, but there isn't much information about him." Shirley Yang said with some pity.
"This stranger...should come from Tibet." Chen Ziyan expressed his guess.
"It's very possible. After all, whether it's the magic technique or the Muchen Bead, it can be traced back to the Snowy Area at the earliest. If this strange person comes from there, then many things will be explained." Shirley Yang nodded slightly, I think Chen Ziyan's guess is very possible.
"Snow area..." Hu Bayi thought for a moment when he heard this word, but didn't say anything.
He had some speculation in his mind, but the content on the mural in front of him was not enough to confirm his suspicion, and it had nothing to do with the current matter, so there was no need to say more now.
Then they saw the mural introducing the Yi people's artifacts.
The first thing is the jade fetus they obtained earlier. According to the introduction above, this jade fetus seems to be related to some kind of fertility worship. The mural depicts that before the mountain gods were destroyed by King Xian, during every full moon period, the Yi people A young woman will be enshrined to the mountain god.
When Wang Kaixuan saw this, he couldn't help but said: "These damn monkeys really deserve to be killed. They are really spoiled by the locals. How dare you ask the yellow flower girl as a sacrifice!"
Shirley Yang sighed: "The full moon happens to be the time when apes and monkeys are most restless, and mandrills are no exception. There were too many such outrageous things in the ignorant era."
She felt that Wang Kaixuan was right, those mandrills really deserved to be killed!
But no one knew that after hearing their words, a strange idea suddenly flashed in Chen Ziyan's mind.
He didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly thought of those evil people, and felt that the appearance of such evil people was probably related to this cruel and ignorant offering ceremony.
But he didn't think too much, and quickly suppressed this thought in his heart, and continued to look at the mural behind him.
There is also a record of the three-legged toad in the mural at the back, but let alone King Xian, even the Yi people know very little about it, so there are not many descriptions. I only know that if you wait for a long time, the three-legged toad Next to it, there will be a chance of a powerful warrior appearing, but the success rate of such warriors is very low, and most of them will die due to failure.
"Is this some kind of radiation?" Wang Kaixuan blurted out when he saw this.
As far as he knows, this phenomenon is most likely to be radiation.
"It should be, but it's not as scary as the radiation sources we know. If it's not a long-term close contact, it'll be fine." Chen Ziyan didn't want everyone to be too afraid of the three-legged toad, so he explained.
Shirley Yang vaguely understood his purpose, and also said: "And this kind of radiation is not all bad. According to what is said above, the nobles of the Yi people were all special warriors in the beginning, and only the strongest among them Only the older person can become the clan leader. You can see that the clan leader above is obviously an old man, which means that only good changes will occur in people who successfully transform."
When translating these, Shirley Yang was also full of curiosity and wanted to explore the three-legged toad.
There are many patients who suffer from incurable diseases due to radiation, and some even suffer deformations or even die. However, she has never heard of cases of becoming powerful after being exposed to radiation.
Ding Sitian hesitated and said: "I know a little bit about this. It is said that some unique places are like this. I don't know if you have heard of longevity village. According to the research of our department, it should exist deep underground in that area." There is some kind of radiation source that is difficult to find, so after drinking radiated groundwater all year round, the lifespan of people there will be far longer than that of people living in other places."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he immediately said: "Xiao Ding, are you talking about the longevity village where the entire village can live to be more than 100 years old? Isn't that false? I remember there were reports in the newspapers, urging everyone not to believe those Ignorant remarks of feudal superstition!”
As for other things, Wang Kaixuan may not know about it, but he is very familiar with this kind of market rumors.
"What you said is indeed a lie, but this matter is true. However, the real location of the longevity village has long been a secret. Even only a few people in our department know it." Ding Sitian stopped here. Having stopped talking, the remaining things are no longer suitable for discussion.
But even if she didn't say it explicitly, none of them were stupid, and they all knew the unfinished meaning of her words.
When Hu Ba saw this, he said: "Doesn't this mean that we can become stronger with this three-legged toad?"
It is recorded on the mural that three or five of the Yi warriors can drive away the green dragon in Zhelong Mountain.
This so-called green dragon is the giant blue-scaled python. Chen Ziyan and the others have personal experience of the combat power of this thing, so they know very well what it is like to be able to expel three or five people in ancient times.
Not to mention the era when iron weapons were not yet completely popular, but now the era when firearms are very popular. Even three or five men with firearms may not be able to effectively repel such behemoths. They can escape as much as possible with their lives. Not bad.
Wang Kaixuan was also very interested in becoming stronger. Hearing this, he quickly asked: "Yes, if that thing really works, can we also become stronger!"
In the past, he might have thought that he was not weak, not only the first class but also the second class in the world, but after seeing the abilities of Chen Ziyan, Wushuang Ghost and Huahu, Wang Kaixuan didn't say anything in his heart. He was also silently interested in becoming stronger.
"It is possible, but how to do it needs to be studied." Chen Ziyan thought for a while and said: "You have also seen the content of the mural. If we use the native methods of the barbarians, the probability of problems is really high."
This discovery was something he didn't expect, but it was a good thing for him.
If he could really find a safe and effective method, it would be equivalent to having a method that could mass-produce powerful subordinates.
Although he created a museum and an archaeological team, and even affiliated himself and others to the powerful department, Chen Ziyan knew one thing very well, that is, they were in a secretive business after all, so force value was the most indispensable thing.
Perhaps even without strong force, he could do everything he wanted to do by relying on his own means and financial resources to find the tomb, but in that case it would be better to have strong force on his own.
Take the simplest thing as an example. When Chen Ziyan and the others were plotted earlier, if Chen Ziyan had the power not to be underestimated in the dark world, and could even overturn the table at any time, then those who wanted to plot against them would have been much more careful. He didn't even dare to take action easily, how could he be so unscrupulous!
There is a saying that Chen Ziyan always thinks makes sense...
If you can get others to listen to you and reason with you, that's a lot better than trying to reason with others.
