With strong unwillingness, Wu Liang immediately moved to the end of the Bronze Hall.

Unexpectedly, although the clothes on this tanned corpse had long since decayed, and even though they were broken in places before Wu Liang touched them, the two boots on the feet were relatively well preserved.

So the boot on his left foot became something that hindered Wu Liang from further verifying the identity of the tomb owner.

"Brother Dianwei, help me keep an eye on her."

Wu Liang turned around and handed over to Dian Wei, handing the rope holding Bai Jingjing into his hand.

He had to take off the boots for the tanned corpse himself. This fact could not be left to Cao Zhen and a few soldiers, lest they damage the tanned corpse, especially the skin on the left foot of the tanned corpse.

, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Seeing Wu Liang bending down and slowly stretching his hand towards the body in the bronze coffin, Bai Jingjing immediately stamped her feet again and cursed loudly with red eyes: "You renegade villain, what else are you going to do before you give up?"

Unfortunately, Dian Wei's strength was astonishing. No matter how hard she struggled on the rope, she could not get even an inch closer to stop Wu Liang.

Wu Liang simply ignored her and concentrated on holding the boot on the tanned corpse's left foot.

Then he gently pulled it outwards. It seemed that the boots were quite tight, and there was no intention of them coming off the tanned feet.

"It seems like this is the only way to do it."

Wu Liang had no choice but to hold the copper dagger in one hand and gently lift the left leg of the tanned corpse through the boot with the other hand, and then use the sharp edge of the copper dagger to spread it down bit by bit along the top of the shoe.

Wu Liang was very careful and his expression was as focused as a doctor undergoing surgery.

Cao Zhen and others did not dare to disturb them, they just stood in the distance and watched quietly.

In this way, the boots were soon opened halfway.

This is entirely due to the relationship of time. Although the boots did not shatter like the clothes, they were still much more fragile and could almost break with a light pick.

Just then.

"Gurgling!"

Suddenly there was a strange noise inside the bronze coffin.

This noise was accompanied by the sound of liquid flowing, and there was also a dull sound, just like... like the sound made by a person's abdomen when he is hungry or has indigestion.

!?

Cao Zhen and others couldn't help but trembled.

Wu Liang also stopped immediately and carefully looked at the tanned corpse in the coffin.

It doesn’t matter if you look at it!

At some point, half of the small piece of blue jade polished in the tanned corpse's mouth was spit out by everyone without their knowledge!?

This piece of jade has been corroded, and black and red threads seeped into the jade, making it look like a genuine "dead jade".

This kind of "death jade" is said to be a very harmful and evil thing in the folklore of later generations. If you wear it on your body or leave it at home, not only your own health will be affected, but your family will also be implicated.

In this regard, Wu Liang has always held the view that it is better to believe that it is true than to believe that it is not true.

After all, this thing has been with the dead body for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even if there is no so-called "yin energy" and "evil energy", God knows how many ancient viruses and bacteria are hidden in the red and black threads that seep into it...

But now is not the time to talk about this!

"Young and talented brother, this is..."

Cao Zhen looked flustered, and several soldiers also wrinkled their faces, fighting with each other.

"You guys go back and stay away."

Without looking back, Wu Liang gently released the tanned corpse's left foot and quickly moved a few steps to the side of the bronze coffin, alerting everyone with great vigilance.

at this time.

"Whoosh!"

The upper body of the tanned corpse suddenly sat up like a spring!

At the same time, a large mouthful of unknown dark brown viscous liquid spurted out from the mouth of the tanned corpse together with the piece of mouth, and spit out two meters away with a "swish" sound.

Fortunately, Wu Liang avoided it in advance, otherwise he would have been sprayed all over his face by this disgusting unknown liquid.

"ah!"

Seeing this horrifying scene, Cao Zhen and several soldiers were so frightened that their pupils shrank and they jumped back a long way. Their faces were as white as paper and they broke out in cold sweat.

Some people's lips trembled, looking at the tanned corpse that suddenly sat up in the bronze coffin in horror, their teeth chattering continuously: "This, this, this, this... this can't be a ghost, can it? Colonel, Captain,

Sima, this, this place is too evil, why don't we just take the gold and leave quickly?"

Not only them, but also Bai Jingjing looked shocked at this moment.

Obviously, this situation has gone beyond her knowledge as the tombkeeper. After all, if it has been more than two hundred years since Wang Liu of Guangchuan committed suicide, even if she is the tombkeeper, she is just a descendant who has been passed down for many generations.

People may not know all the details in the tomb.

"call--"

Even Wu Liang was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

The scene just now was so weird and sudden that even he was completely unprepared.

Now that he finally calmed down a little, Wu Liangcai finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the tanned corpse sitting up and burying his head between his legs. There was no more movement from then on.

Then he braved the courage to get closer, and after using the firelight to examine it carefully, he finally turned back and smiled at the timid people: "Don't panic! This is not a ghost, but a man-made anti-theft mechanism."

"Anti-theft mechanism?"

Everyone was puzzled, and Bai Jingjing also looked over in confusion.

"Yes, the real killer move of this mechanism is actually the venom!"

Wu Liang pointed to the dark brown liquid on the ground and said, "You only need to inject gas into the corpse cavity in advance, pour the venom down the throat, and seal it with your mouth. If someone moves the corpse, it will

Squeeze the gas in the corpse cavity, so that the corpse will sit up and spray out the venom. It will be bad if it is wet... The strange sound we heard just now was when I lifted the leg of the corpse, the corpse cavity

The gas inside is squeezed."

This kind of tomb structure was recorded in the "Shu Zhai Laoxue Cong Tan" of the Yuan Dynasty.

It is said that at the end of the Jin Dynasty, a tomb robber named Zhu stole the imperial mausoleum of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and found that Zhao Kuangyin's body had an extremely valuable jade belt tied around his waist.

Unfortunately, Zhao Kuangyin's body was so fat that he couldn't move it even with all his strength. So the tomb robber looped a rope around the back of the body, tied the rope around his own neck and tied a knot to move it.

Unexpectedly, the gas in the body of the corpse was squeezed a little, and it was possible that he suddenly sat up and sprayed a mouthful of unknown liquid into the face of the tomb robber.

The tomb robber had no choice but to run away and wash his face with water when he returned home. Only then did he realize that the liquid spit out from the corpse's mouth was poisonous. Any place contaminated by the "corpse liquid" would leave reddish-brown traces, no matter how he washed it.

Can't be washed clean.

Since then, the tomb robbers have been nicknamed "Zhuqi Lian".

Later, precisely because of this "red face" that could not be hidden, the poor tomb robber was captured by the government not long after and was killed with a stick in the government office.

But having said that, the venom encountered by "Zhuqi Lian" was relatively merciful and only left a large mark.
