Chapter 188: Scream
Now Bai Chi can also imagine that when he shouted the name of the wretched man outside the main hall, he didn't respond. Maybe his hearing was fully used at that time, and when Liu Weiwei drank danger just now, he happened to be there.
At that time.
Bai Chi laughed at himself, the development of the matter was too dramatic. Liu Wei had no other opinions on this explanation and didn't know what to say for a while.
After a few more minutes without anyone speaking, Bai Chi took out the mineral water from his backpack, took a sip and handed it to the wretched man. He took it and shook it with his hand.
Bai Chi turned his attention to Liu Wei, and suddenly thought that he and Lao Qian had disappeared just now, and why he appeared again by some strange coincidence, and even ran into the stone man.
At this time, the wretched man stopped shaking the water bottle, and suddenly snatched the miner's lamp from Bai Chi's hand and shined it behind him. Bai Chi quickly looked back and found that Lao Qian had appeared behind them at some unknown time, with a swollen face.
There was a piece of it, and some parts of the clothes were also scratched.
Bai Chi was wondering why he appeared when he was just about to mention him.
When Lao Qian saw the four people looking at him in surprise, he smiled awkwardly and said:
"I made a way here. I actually fell from here just now. Fortunately, there were stone steps to stop me. Otherwise, if I fell from here, I would be seriously injured even if I didn't die!"
As he spoke, Lao Qian came over, took the water bottle from the wretched man's hand without any courtesy, drank a few gulps before wiping his mouth and saying: [
"It belongs to his grandfather. If I knew who designed this stone platform, I would burn incense and curse them every day!"
After a while of Lao Qian's cursing explanation, Bai Chi found out why he disappeared.
The moment Liu Wei opened the palace door, the wretched man fired two shots inside. At this moment, Lao Qian was about to duck to the side of the door, but as soon as his front foot fell, he felt his foot was empty. When he reacted, he was already
Lying on the dragon scale stone steps.
The wretched man walked over and took a look in the direction pointed by Lao Qian. The surface of the ground seemed to be intact, but there was a shaft in the middle. When he stepped on it with his feet, the other side would rise up. When a person fell, it would
Restore to its original appearance.
Bai Chi couldn't help but think of manhole covers, but there were stone steps under one and sewage under the other.
"Such traps are very common in ancient tombs. Most of them are to prevent outsiders from entering. There are dense bamboo arrows under the traps. If one accidentally falls, he will not be able to survive for a long time without dying on the spot!"
When Bai Chi saw Liu Wei talking calmly, he felt afraid for Lao Qian from time to time. If there were bamboo arrows under this mechanism, Lao Qian might have become a hedgehog by now.
Although this metaphor is funny, Baichi can't laugh at all at this moment. I don't know why. It always feels like something is weird!
Liu Wei said that sharp objects are usually placed under traps, but there is nothing in this trap.
In other words, the owner of this palace has no intention of harming outside intruders. So how should we explain the institutions built outside this palace?
Bai Chi expressed his thoughts, Liu Wei shook his head and said:
"I can't say for sure. If he may have overestimated the hidden weapons around him, he didn't pay too much attention to the ones here!"
Bai Chi understood what Liu Wei said. After all, there is no danger now. If there is, it should be an unknown thing in the palace.
Liu Wei put the bronze sword in his hand on the ground, thought for a moment and said to Bai Chi:
"My boss, I don't think it's that simple. If the owner of this palace values the peripheral mechanisms so much, he won't build traps here. My boss, have you forgotten those crossbows?" [
Bai Chi turned pale when he heard this. Liu Wei would have forgotten it if he hadn't mentioned it. In the beginning, those bows and crossbows killed people everywhere in the palace, but why were the traps outside the palace so simple?
Liu Wei slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the palace in front of him and said thoughtfully:
"I think the owner of this palace wants to scare away the intruders!"
"Just give up when you're in trouble!"
Suddenly, the wretched man shouted, pointing at the palace in front of him and saying:
"If he really wanted Grandpa and me to retreat, he wouldn't have set up such agencies. As long as he set up a battalion of rice dumplings at the door, I'm sure no one would dare to take a step forward!"
Bai Chi couldn't laugh or cry. He still didn't know what danger he was about to face, but the wretched man actually knew how to make a joke at this juncture.
However, Bai Chi didn't have the same interest as the wretched man. Seeing Liu Wei walking slowly towards the palace, Bai Chi cursed at the wretched man: "You have a whole camp of rice dumplings at home? Do you think this thing is a commercial product?"
The wretched man knew that he was in the wrong and stopped talking about these irrelevant things.
Seeing that Bai Chi was silent, Lao Qian came over and poked Bai Chi and said:
"My boss, what happened to you in the palace just now? It sounds like there are hidden weapons inside?"
Bai Chi looked at Lao Qian puzzled and asked:
"What's wrong? Do you still like to study those things?"
Lao Qian was stunned by Bai Chi's rhetorical question. He spoke for half a minute before he could say a word and said with a smile:
"No, I was wondering why there are no powerful mechanisms outside, but they are all set up inside!"
Bai Chi and the wretched man looked at each other, thinking that Lao Qian was so good at talking about things that were obviously unrelated to each other, but he could still talk about them!
Suddenly, Bai Chi thought about Lao Qian's words again and felt a little strange.
What Lao Qian said is right. If hidden weapons that can hurt people's lives are set up outside, there is no need to build those hidden bows and crossbows in the palace. This can also ensure the integrity of the equipment in the palace. But the opposite is true.
What problem does it explain?
Bai Chi threw all his questions to Lao Qian. He lit a cigarette, thought about it carefully, and said:
"I feel like everything we experienced before was just childish, and now we are really exposed to things we shouldn't be exposed to..."
In fact, what Lao Qian said is no different than if he didn't say it, and if he said it, it would increase the psychological burden on several people.
Even if Bai Chi knew that the danger inside was not as simple as one plus one, Bai Chi couldn't figure out why Lao Qian wanted to talk about this topic so thoroughly, and he didn't know if he was deliberately creating pressure.
The wretched man rolled his eyes at Lao Qian disdainfully, which meant that he was despising Lao Qian for saying nonsense. Bai Chi was too lazy to think about this tangled issue now, so he just took it one step at a time.
Bai Chi did a rough calculation. He was shocked. He didn't even have a day! Thinking that it was already night, Bai Chi gave the miner's lamp to the wretched man and asked him to hold it for a while. Bai Chi planned to take a nap. Bai Shi was beside him.
If the three are here, it won't be a big deal.
As soon as Bai Chi closed his eyes, he felt Liu Wei coming back from a distance. Bai Chi looked at the wretched man and Lao Hu with half-squinted eyes, and saw that they were not paying attention to anything else and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
After resting for about half an hour, Baichi woke up. He picked up the miner's lamp and swept it casually to one side. But when the light reached the second floor of the palace, Baichi was suddenly startled and his heart skipped a beat.
Bai Chi touched the wretched man with his foot and said:
"Things are not simple anymore, the jade corpse is missing!"
"Boss, don't scare me!"
The wretched man yelled reflexively and jumped up in a hurry. Lao Qian also discovered this at this time. He also stood up with a cry. Bai Shisan also looked around vigilantly.
"His uncle! When did you disappear?"
The wretched man looked around and cursed cautiously.
Bai Chi sat on the ground, frowning. Although the jade corpse was not very lethal, if she were to catch it, she would probably have to skin it off even if she died, so she said:
"I don't know. It should have happened after we entered the palace!"
"I know this too!"
Lao Qian cursed and snatched the miner's lamp from Bai Chi.
Baichi didn't have the mining lamp, so he asked Bai Shisan to guard the gate of the palace, while he couldn't help but move closer to Liu Wei. But he was still wondering. In the past, Liu Wei was always the first to make such unbelievable things.
Reflection, why did it fall behind the wretched man this time?
At this time, because he was too close, Bai Chi touched Liu Wei's hand and felt it was so cold. However, he didn't think about it carefully, and he didn't pay too much attention to anything at this time.
Just when Bai Chi was about to ask what was going on, a dry cough suddenly came from the front.
"Is there anyone else?"
The wretched man was surprised at first, then turned to look at Bai Chi.
A chill suddenly rose in Bai Chi's heart and went straight to his forehead. Why did this voice sound so familiar? After thinking about it carefully, he found that the dry cough just now was Liu Wei's voice.
Bai Chi secretly screamed, and picked up the shotgun from his side with one hand. At this time, Liu Wei, who was not far away, shouted:
"Why is the jade corpse on the second floor of the palace missing?"
"Damn it! Liu Wei, why did you run over there all of a sudden?"
The wretched man screamed, suddenly pointed the miner's lamp at 'Liu Wei' beside Bai Chi, and suddenly screamed:
"His grandfather's, is this the jade corpse?"
Bai Chi's head buzzed again, and he instinctively punched out, then pulled back and shouted at several people:
"Run quickly, why are you hanging here?"
The wretched man reacted the fastest and disappeared immediately. Bai Chi cursed in his heart, how could this grandson run faster than a rabbit at this critical moment?
But before Bai Chi could curse, he touched the jade corpse again, and was shocked again. The jade corpse that was beside him just now disappeared again!
While Baichi rushed back and moved away slowly, he looked around carefully. Because as soon as the wretched man left, Baichi fell into absolute darkness. Now he couldn't see his fingers. Baichi's heart was also tightened. If the jade corpse was...
Run over and give yourself a thorough explanation. Then you won't even have a chance to resist, so all your efforts here will probably be useless.
Bai Chi thought and quickly took out the lighter, hit it twice before lighting it up, and used the firefly-like light to shine around.
That jade corpse is really not around!
Just when I was wondering what was going on, there was suddenly a strange "crunching" sound coming from in front of Baichi, which sounded like a beast gnawing bones.
At some point, a pale and ferocious face appeared in front of Bai Chi. At this time, he was grinding his teeth coldly at Bai Chi.
