The clothes on the back of the corpse have completely rotted, and what is exposed is the wrinkled and shapeless skin. In other words, the corpse has been dried into a mummy, and there is a clear gap at the waist.

Involuntarily, Bai Chi's head buzzed. Could this be the legendary cut in half?

It’s so terrifying. How could this kind of capital punishment happen to this person? I once heard someone talk about being cut in half. The main organs of a person are in the upper body. After being cut in half, the person being executed will not die immediately, but will

Suffering pain that is worse than death. Because the organs in the upper body are still functioning at this moment, you can only watch your lower body separate from yourself, and then your upper body crawls on the ground in pain until you completely die.

Sometimes I think that this punishment should be completely harmonized. This kind of pain is no less cruel than creating the pattern of "four ghosts carrying coffins". But then I think about it, if someone can be killed by this kind of punishment, the crime must be very serious.

.

And if he was the owner of this palace, others would definitely not carry his body here and dispose of it in such a weird way.

No wonder Liu Wei said at the time that the corpse was not that of the palace owner.

Bai Chi looked outside and said:

"Could this be someone the owner of this place hates so much that he placed his body here as a caretaker?"

At this time, the wretched man no longer had the same chirping energy as before. Instead, he thought for a while and said:

"What the boss said makes sense, but I really don't know the identity of this person!"

In a daze, Bai Chi suddenly felt something strange. It seemed that every time something unexpected happened, he would first tell his guess, and then the three of them would suddenly understand and nod in agreement.

It's also possible that the three of them have already thought of the answer to the question, and they just said it to save their own face.

Bai Chi thought to himself: It seems that we shouldn't be so clueless in the future. Liu Wei and Lao Qian are both professional tomb robbers. How can I, a dabbler, compare with them?

Sure enough, it was the same as Bai Chi thought. Liu Wei then began to speculate:

"If this corpse is placed here to confuse the minds of future generations, then there is only one candidate who is most suitable!"

The three of them unanimously turned their attention to Liu Wei. At this time, he took advantage of it and glanced at Bai Chi. However, seeing that Bai Chi didn't think about it, he took a deep breath and smiled:

"I feel that this corpse is the real Zhao Gao!"

Liu Wei's words were so shocking, but at this time several people could only think deeply about the meaning of these words. Things have reached this point, if he said that this corpse was Ying Zheng's, Bai Chi might believe it.

Because I have experienced so many incredible things here, zombies that could only be seen in movies before are now seen in enough numbers to play mahjong.

But now if this corpse is defined as Zhao Gao, then the owner of this palace may be able to move forward according to Bai Chi's speculation.

Because of preconceptions, I found those bamboo slips as soon as I entered the tomb. The information in the bamboo slips also revealed that the tomb was the tomb of Zhao Gao, but Zhao Gao’s body was not in the coffin. This explains two reasons. One.

It was the previous tomb robbers who removed the body, and the second thing was that the body in the coffin was not Zhao Gao's body at all.

I don’t know whether the builder set up this situation intentionally or not. In short, Baichi felt that everything he saw before arriving at the palace was confusing.

Liu Wei's guess made Bai Chi and the others not sure what to say. At this time, the wretched man suddenly let out a sigh, and Bai Chi calmed down and asked:

"What happened? What did you find?"

The wretched man carefully leaned down. Bai Chi looked in his direction and found that there was a wooden box under the feet of the corpse.

Because all the attention was focused on the back of the body at first, this direction was ignored.

The wretched man clicked his tongue twice more, then stretched out his hand to open the wooden box. At this time, Liu Wei suddenly kicked the wretched man's hand away. Before he could react, he said cautiously:

"This wooden box cannot be opened!"

Bai Chi didn't know why. He thought Liu Wei meant there was something dangerous inside, and said with a wry smile:

"You said there is a mechanism in here?"

Liu Wei shook his head. At this time, Lao Qian leaned over and looked at it for a while and said:

"This wooden box is not a threat, but inside is a wire that triggers a mechanism. If it is opened carelessly, the mechanism will be triggered. Judging from the orientation of the wooden box, this mechanism is connected to the belly of the corpse. There is probably a secret inside.

A crossbow or something!”

Bai Chi took a breath. His current position was directly opposite the corpse. If the wretched man had just opened the wooden box so close, and if it was like what Lao Qian said, he would have been penetrated by the dark crossbow immediately.

.

The wretched man also smiled apologetically at Bai Chi. Bai Chi didn't mean to blame him. He turned his gaze to Lao Qian and asked:

"You said that the mechanism is set on the body, then can we crawl on the ground and open the wooden box, so that we can avoid the attack of hidden weapons."

Lao Qian shook his head and said:

"No, I'm not sure if the Dark Crossbow is in the belly of the corpse. It would be difficult if it was around us or above our heads!"

I was a little confused when I heard the white pool above our heads. If there was such a thing above our heads, the four of us would turn into scum in an instant!

The wretched male monster laughed, looked at the bronze sword in Lao Qian's hand and said:

"If it doesn't work, we'll just chop the wooden box. It won't be opened anyway, and the hidden weapon won't be activated!"

Bai Chi is horrified, how could a wretched man say something with such a low IQ? The function of this wooden box must be extraordinary, and the things placed inside must be very attractive. If the wooden box is blindly destroyed, it is very likely that the contents will be lost.

’s things were also damaged.

Bai Chi can understand this truth, but I don't know what the wretched man is thinking.

This time it was Bai Chi's turn to deny the wretched man's opinion. He was obviously a little confused and muttered:

"This won't work, that won't work either. Why don't we go home quickly so we don't waste time and worry here!"

Bai Chi glanced at the wretched man but said nothing.

Liu Wei moved over and put the dagger back. He reached out and carefully touched the corpse's abdomen, and then his expression changed. I guess Lao Qian was right, the corpse's belly was really weird.

All three people looked at Liu Wei, who leaned down again and repeated what Lao Qian had just done. After watching for about a minute, Liu Wei suddenly stood up and said affirmatively:

"This wooden box can be opened, but it's a little dangerous!"

When he heard the first sentence, Bai Chi became energetic, but the next sentence poured a bucket of cold water on him.

Isn’t this the same as not saying anything? Anyone can open it, but the consequence may be that the entire army is annihilated.

Liu Wei went on to say:

"You guys will retreat outside the door in a moment. If I guess correctly, there is a silver wire in this wooden box that triggers the mechanism. As long as you cut the silver wire before triggering the mechanism, there will be no danger!"

When Bai Chi heard this, he felt like he was dismantling a bomb. He wondered if the wooden box would explode if it was not done properly.

At this time, Lao Qian slowly backed away. Bai Chi took a casual look and found that Lao Qian's eyes were very strange. He seemed a little reluctant to let go...

The wretched man planned to retreat outside the door. Bai Chi was worried about Liu Wei's next situation and said:

"Be careful later. If you die, we will lose one of our people!"

Liu Wei's movements suddenly stopped, maybe because he didn't expect Bai Chi to take a stand at this time. Bai Chi's words really conveyed a meaning to Liu Wei, that is, Bai Chi has defined you as one of his own, if you want to

If you dare to be careless, not only will you be killed by a hidden weapon, but others will not be much better off either.

After finishing speaking, Bai Chi and the wretched man slowly walked out the door. At this time, Lao Qian made a start gesture to Liu Wei, and several people did not dare to express their anger. They watched his movements quietly.

Even Bai Shisan outside the door was watching Liu Wei's movements from a distance.

Liu Wei's series of movements is very simple, but also very fast.

He took out two needle-like things, stuck one in the gap of the wooden box, and slowly inserted the other in, trying from left to right.

When he reached the middle of the wooden box, Liu Wei suddenly became cautious because he was far away and could not see his expression clearly.

Next, he may have discovered the location of the silver wire in the wooden box. Liu Wei slowly opened the wooden box, and suddenly a "creak" came from the wooden box.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. At this moment, Bai Chi actually broke out in a cold sweat for Liu Wei. Fortunately, the sound was not the sound of the machine being turned on, so he breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Liu Wei stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, and then carefully reached his hand into the wooden box. Immediately afterwards, a crisp breaking sound came from Liu Wei, and at the same time, Bai Chi also knew that the silver wire was broken.

However, Liu Wei waved to Bai Chi not to go over. He withdrew his hand and tested it with a long needle again. After confirming that there was no other danger, he waved.

When the three of them arrived one after another, Liu Wei had already opened the wooden box. There was nothing else inside except a roll of bamboo slips...

The wretched man couldn't help but cursed:

"It's so stingy to have something like this in such a dangerous institution. I feel sorry for Liu Wei's frightened mood just now!"

"screw you!"

Bai Chi smiled and said:

"Are the things that can be put in this box something that can be found everywhere?"

While he was talking, Liu Wei had already taken out the bamboo slips. When he spread them out and took a look, he found that the words engraved on them were all unreadable. It was a suitable time for Lao Qian to appear. After looking at it for a long time, his expression changed again and again. From now on, the words

The words are considered:

"This is not a person's grave!"

"Um?"

Bai Chi didn't realize what he meant and asked:

"How many people's graves are they?"

Lao Qian was silent for a while, seeming to be summarizing how to explain next. The wretched man was a little anxious because of him, and when he was about to ask again, Lao Qian said:

"I didn't make it clear just now. In fact, we already guessed this tomb when we encountered the second tomb. It was indeed the tomb of Zhao Gao."

Holy shit! I’m a little confused when I hear this. If this is Zhao Gao’s tomb, then whose body is it? Don’t say it’s not Zhao Gao’s?

Lao Qian seemed to be deliberately provoking Bai Chi. As soon as the idea came up, he said:

"The bamboo slips say this corpse is Zhao Gao!"

Bai Chi then said to Lao Qian:

"Hurry up and finish it, don't act like you're peeing!"

Lao Qian glanced at Bai Chi resentfully and muttered:

"Master, do you think it's easy to read this? I'm slowly figuring out what it means!"

Bai Chi said angrily:

"Then think about it quickly, and then finish it if you can understand it!"
Chapter completed!
