The preservation condition of this mummy is not very good either.

It is not so much a mummy as a skeleton with only a small part of the shriveled skin remaining. Most of the bones have long since lost their dry skin wrapping and are exposed.

However, compared with the coffin owners in those hanging coffins, the arrangement of the bones still maintains the human shape.

This shows that the mummy may not have moved after death, and the posture it maintains at this moment may be the posture it held at the time of death.

Just looking at his appearance...

After confirming that what was in front of him was a mummy with no signs of life or transformation, Wu Liang was shocked and gradually calmed down. He carefully observed the mummy in the passage with the light of the Suihou Pearl.

A small portion of shriveled skin remained on the mummy's face.

Although it is impossible to accurately judge the expression of the mummy through this incomplete and shriveled skin, some inferences can still be drawn through his mouth that remains open in a somewhat exaggerated state.

In what state would a person open his mouth so exaggeratedly?

There are just a few: uncontrollable sneezing, extreme panic, being surprised by something, or yawning while dozing off.

Sneezing and yawning can basically be ruled out.

Because the posture the mummy is holding at this moment does not quite match it. It is obviously a posture only seen in sudden death. When a person faces the threat of death, the body usually secretes a lot of substances to keep the body awake and even to stimulate the body.

Material, yawning is certainly impossible, and sneezing is extremely unlikely.

So.

There is a high possibility that it should be fear and surprise.

But what exactly scares or surprises the mummy?

This is another question worth exploring.

After thinking about it deeply, looking at the dark passage behind the evidence mummy, Wu Liang felt a chill again.

The posture maintained by this mummy is most likely crawling outward.

That is to say, the things that frightened or surprised him were likely to come from the depths of this passage... and Wu Liang was about to enter the passage to investigate, and he felt a little unsure.

the most important is.

In this situation, it is obviously not possible to bring a few key members of the Hu army to accompany you like you did when you visited the tomb. Otherwise, if there is something inside, in this passage that can only be used by an adult to crawl forward, you will think about it for a while.

It is impossible to withdraw, there is not even room for resistance, it will only plunge everyone into death.

In other words, I'm afraid he can only rely on himself this time. At least he can only rely on himself to explore this passage.

And knowing that the legendary "Gongshu Tomb" is nearby, and that this passage may even be the only way, Wu Liang cannot give up easily...

So I thought backward.

Wu Liang first moved the mysterious drum to his chest, and then confirmed that the Taigong Seal was in his arms. Then he put away the copper dagger and replaced it with a longer engineer shovel. Then he raised his head and shouted: "Dian"

Wei!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Dian Wei's response immediately came from the top of the cliff.

"Tell everyone, I found a passage behind the hanging coffin. Now I have to go in alone to investigate. I temporarily tied the silkworm treasure silk to the hanging coffin with a slip knot. Wait for me for half an hour. If after half an hour

I haven't come out yet. Take back the Silkworm God Silk Silk and let Yang Wanli come down to try to find me. If you find me dead at that time, give up this operation and ignore my body. You only need to retrieve Suihou Zhujiao.

To Bai Jingjing, you can divide the remaining things among yourself, and then return to Deng County together to lead our people. You can decide for yourself whether to disband on the spot or return, do you understand?"

Wu Liang explained to Dian Wei loudly.

But for some reason, even he felt a little touched by these words, and felt that he was actually a good leader, at least he was fair to his own people.

"..."

After hearing these words, everyone in the Hu army fell into silence for an instant.

It seems that this passage is not a simple passage.

This was not the first day they had followed Wu Liang. They knew him well enough and knew that they would not be able to dissuade him from what he had decided.

Naturally, there is no need to say too much about those pretentious words. Wu Liang basically won't do this, and sometimes even shows some disgust, even if it is sincerely pretentious.

"Dianwei?"

Wu Liang knew that the people above him must have heard his explanation clearly, but maybe they were being hypocritical again and did not respond, so he called out again.

"Please be careful, Master. Wei is here to wait for Master's safe return."

Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied.

"The surname is Wu!"

Bai Jingjing suddenly screamed for some unknown reason.

"ah?"

Wu Liang was about to respond, but he heard her continue, "Listen carefully, if you can come out unscathed this time, I will promise you to violate the Bai family's ancestral precepts once and never break your promise after you go back!"

"?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Hu army was stunned, and turned back to look at Bai Jingjing with doubts on their faces.

They only knew that Wu Liang often stayed in the same room with Bai Jingjing late at night, but they did not know how far the two of them were, let alone what the Bai family's ancestral precepts were, so they could not understand the meaning of Bai Jingjing's words.

As a result, Wu Liang's already excited and even slightly frivolous voice came from below: "You said this yourself. Everyone, please bear witness to me, just say this...Dian Wei, pull me up now,

I have decided not to explore this passage, please replace Yang Wanli with me!"

"well?!"

Everyone in the Hu army was stunned again.

What kind of code words are these two talking about, and why do they become more and more confused the more they listen to it.

"?!"

Bai Jingjing's pretty face was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned red with embarrassment, and a look of nervousness appeared between her eyebrows.

Obviously she didn't expect that Wu Liang would react like this. He had absolutely no martial ethics and no bottom line that humans should have. No wonder it was so easy when he was just hooked by Wen Renzhao of Le'an Kingdom.

Letting someone hurt your own bed is dirty!

"Wu Youcai, you shameless and dirty person! It's best for you to die in there and never come out. No one cares about your life or death!"

After being embarrassed, Bai Jingjing became angry again, immediately stamped her feet, and scolded him angrily. Although she didn't dare to say that she turned against him faster than turning over a book in front of everyone, she was already a completely different person.

Naturally, everyone became more and more confused.

"This... old gentleman, what are Sister Jingjing and Brother Youcai talking about? Why can't I understand a word of it?"

Zhuge Liang's slightly childish face was already full of confusion. He looked at Yu Ji and asked weakly.

"Can we, mortals, actually guess what a woman is thinking?"

Yu Ji stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, sighing as if he had come before, "If you still have sense, just listen to my advice and stick to the Tao like me. Although this fruit of Tao is hard to find, it is clearer than a woman's mind.

There are many."

"..."

Zhuge Liang seemed to understand but subconsciously glanced at Huang Yueying beside him.

The other side.

After listening to Wu Liang's words, although he also didn't understand what Wu Liang and Bai Jingjing were talking about, Wu Liang's orders would not be discounted by Dian Wei. He immediately responded loudly: "No! Master, please hold on to the rope, and Wei will do it."

Pull the young master up!"

Yang Wanli also quickly checked his equipment and prepared to go explore the unknown passage that seemed to involve huge risks on Wu Liang's behalf.

"No need."

Wu Liang suddenly changed his words and said, "Don't waste time, just wait above, remember what I just told you, and remember what Jingjing just said for me, I will ask her to honor it later!"

Talking.

Wu Liang, who had made all preparations, finally lowered his waist and reached into the passage.

…

Within a moment, Wu Liang had arrived next to the mummy.

There are still some pieces of linen left on the mummy, which should be the remains of the mummy's previous clothing.

Next to the mummy, Wu Liang also found several strange tools.

Among them was a chisel made of metal about half a meter long.

This thing looks like iron but not iron, and the material is somewhat different from Wu Liang's copper dagger.

Although a layer of rust has developed on the surface of the chisel, the rust is very thin. It is more like patina formed from long-term use than rust.

The relatively flat front end of this chisel just matches the carving marks on this passage and the previous small caves... From this point of view, those small caves and this passage should have been carved out using such a chisel.

, that is to say, this mummy should be the person or one of the people who built this hanging coffin.

Wu Liang temporarily pinned the chisel behind his waist.
To be continued...
