Several people stood silently in the corridor, staring at the wounds on the corpse. After a while, Bai Chi and Liu Wei planned to walk into the corridor, but as soon as they took a step, Bai Chi was held back by the wretched male Wang Heping.

"Wait a minute, boss, take a look at the wounds on the corpse." The wretched man looked at Bai Chi nervously and said, as if there was something terrifying inside the cave.

Bai Chi looked a little funny when he saw the wretched man. Why did he suddenly become so angry? He was really born to be a timid person. He looked at it briefly and said casually:

"Is this because they didn't share the spoils equally and shot him to death?"

Liu Wei interrupted at this time, waved his hand, and said solemnly:

"A gunshot wound doesn't look like this. Look at the corpse, the skin of the wound has been torn to pieces, and the edges of the skin have turned black. If it was a gunshot wound, the flesh should be turned outwards."

Bai Chi understood what he heard. The bullet moved at high speed, so the wound would not tear the surrounding skin.

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Liu Wei suggested:

"Don't worry about this for now. Let's go in and take a look. We don't even know who the owner of this tomb is! Let's go! Wang Heping, you and I go in front, and the boss and your bodyguard go in the back."

Bai Shisan walked to Bai Chi as soon as he heard this, and the wretched man responded, reluctantly picked up the miner's lamp and walked inside.

When we were about to reach the main tomb chamber, a spicy and pungent smell came from the front. This smell was like the smell of liquid flowing out of soft-bodied insects after being trampled to death, with a faint fishy smell.

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, but shook his head and walked forward. The wretched man followed behind him and clenched his fists unnaturally, feeling an unknown fear in his heart.

This is due to the instinct for unknown things. Similarly, Bai Chi can also feel the depression in the hearts of several people, which is a kind of perception of his own aura. In fact, Bai Chi is also very depressed.

There is absolutely no use here. In this unknown place, all that is left is fear...

The further they walked, the more obvious the smell became. In the end, it filled the nostrils continuously. And because of this smell, Bai Chi was sure that the four of them had reached the main tomb where the deceased was buried.

I always thought that all the tomb chambers were big, but when I walked to the main tomb chamber, everyone's previous thoughts were overturned. The tomb chamber in front of me was only a few hundred square meters in size, and there was only a sarcophagus and a stone table in the empty space.

were placed in the corner of the tomb, and some bamboo pieces that were almost corroded were scattered randomly on the stone table.

Bai Chi walked gently to the stone table, picked up the broken bamboo pieces on the table and observed for himself. Bai Chi believed that he could still see some vague writing on it. At this time, Liu Wei also stood beside Bai Chi, and he also

The picked up the bamboo pieces and started looking at them.

Only Bai Shisan was still looking around with vigilance, and the wretched man was also standing closely beside Bai Shisan. He now knew that Bai Shisan was a courageous and powerful man, and he never encountered such weird things.

This guy's face changed.

After a long time, Bai Chi and Liu Wei put down the bamboo pieces at the same time, and held back two words from their mouths in unison: "Zhao Gao?"

Yes, according to the records on the broken bamboo fragments, this tomb is actually the tomb of Zhao Gao of the Great Qin Dynasty? It is really unbelievable...

At this time, Liu Wei slowly walked towards the coffin. Bai Chi knew that he wanted to open the coffin, but he felt uneasy for some reason.

"squeak……"

The heavy coffin lid was slowly pushed open by Liu Wei and Bai Shisan. Bai Chi's thoughts were interrupted by the harsh sound. After the coffin lid was completely pushed open, Liu Wei carefully looked inside the sarcophagus. Suddenly, there was

A stagger.

Seeing him like this, Bai Chi thought something had happened and hurriedly moved over. When he lowered his head and looked down, he was stunned. There was actually the body of a modern woman in the sarcophagus?

"Are you kidding?!"

The wretched man muttered, his face full of surprise!

Lying quietly inside the coffin was the body of a middle-aged woman. The white short-sleeved shirt she was wearing had been stained with blood. The exposed skin was covered with large and small wounds.

Not being in a vital location is not a fatal wound.

However, her expression was a little weird, her eyes were very wide, her pupils had shrunk, and her facial muscles seemed very stiff. Bai Chi sighed deeply, it was obvious that she was scared to death after seeing something terrifying...

…

Liu Wei looked at the clothes of the corpse and let out a sigh. He looked towards the passage faintly. Bai Chi's eyes flickered and he realized that the female corpse and the corpse were together because they were wearing the same sweatpants.

.

"What's going on? Where's the body? Where's the body in the coffin? Why did it become a woman?"

The wretched man looked around worriedly, fearing that Zhao Gao would turn into a rice dumpling and be hiding in the dark, spying on the others.

Liu Wei remained silent for a long time and said:

"Before we came in, there was also a group of people. Although we don't know what kind of group it was, judging from the two corpses, this Zhao Gao tomb is very special. The people who came in were colleagues."

Bai Chi hesitated and asked:

"How long have you been doing this? Do you know their identities?"

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Bai Chi and said quietly:

"I don't know, I've never seen these two people!"

"If you look again, you might have forgotten it!"

Under Bai Chi's repeated request, Liu Wei reluctantly looked at the female corpse again. Bai Chi cooperated to help him pick up the miner's lamp and shine it at it. At this moment, Bai Chi's eyes widened and he was shocked.

On both sides of the sarcophagus, are these two lifelike phoenixes carved? How could there be phoenixes carved inside a eunuch's coffin?

"this……"

Bai Chi stood blankly beside the sarcophagus, feeling his throat go dry. Seeing Bai Chi standing still, Liu Wei asked, "What's going on?"

Bai Chi shook his head. Liu Wei didn't know the details, so he had to keep some secrets. This is the secret of the entire Bai family, so he can't say more.

The carvings in the sarcophagus are not unusual, but the appearance of these two phoenixes is what Baichi just saw last night. They are a pattern on the animal skin drawing inside the purple Jiuding. It seems that they are not in the wrong place. The ones of this ancient tomb

The location seems to be at the very bottom of the entire drawing. If the entire drawing is compared to a phoenix, then the position of this tomb is exactly the talon of the bird.

Suddenly, Bai Chi was startled by his own idea. If this idea is correct, it means that this is not only Zhao Gao's ancient tomb, but may also involve more tombs, thus reaching the top of the Phoenix pattern!

Bai Chi calmly stretched out his hand on the stone carving. Although it felt very rough, he could still touch some small details. The phoenix head, the swallow's chin...

Based on what I touched, an outline slowly appeared in my mind. Suddenly my fingers froze, as if I was shocked by electricity. That's right! This stone carving looked like a phoenix.

Bai Chi turned to look at Liu Wei and said softly: "It's a phoenix."

"Phoenix?"

When Liu Wei heard this, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. It was taboo to carve a phoenix into the coffin. The phoenix is ​​a divine bird in mythology. Although it is a myth, it is not groundless after all. To be called a divine bird, it must have its own extraordinary story.

Place. Only certain people from the royal family can carve phoenixes.

Now Zhao Gao carved a phoenix into the sarcophagus, which shocked Liu Wei. There are basically two explanations for this. One is that the owner of the tomb is a female member of the royal family. The other possibility is that this person claimed to be on par with the immortals and gods. But this is really

Unscientific, Zhao Gao? Why should he?

Because this is the tomb of Zhao Gao, and he is a eunuch himself, so naturally he cannot be a member of the royal family. So his intention of carving the divine bird in the coffin is that he thinks he is the real dragon emperor...?

Suddenly a crazy idea emerged from Bai Chi's mind:

"In ancient times, a phoenix was reborn from nirvana. Could it be that Zhao Gao wanted to use the power of the phoenix to regain a new life? That's crazy."

At this time, Bai Chi began to doubt whether the owner of the tomb was Zhao Gao, but Liu Wei was more direct than Bai Chi. He gently lifted the head of the female corpse in the coffin and took out a stone pillow from under her neck.

Bai Chi asked in confusion: "What to do?"

Liu Wei replied:

"The owner of the tomb will basically write his life in the pillow. Now we can't guess whether this is Zhao Gao's tomb. Maybe we can find some clues in this stone pillow!"

Bai Chi also agreed with Liu Wei's statement, so he asked him to take out the contents of the stone pillow. Liu Wei nodded, reached in and took out a roll of bamboo slips, and carefully unfolded it. The writing on it was extremely blurry and vague.

Bai Chi saw some very sensitive words, such as First Emperor, mausoleum...

Liu Wei obviously knew little about these ancient texts. While he was studying the bamboo scroll, Bai Chi kept looking at what was special about the two stone phoenixes, but he couldn't see anything special after looking at them for half an hour.

Sighing, Baichi turned around and asked Liu Wei what he had discovered. Liu Wei, however, stared at Zhujuan intently because he was too absorbed in hearing Baichi's voice.

Seeing that the guy was so attentive, Bai Chi couldn't disturb him, so he leaned on the stone table behind him and took out Lao Qian's half pack of cigarettes from his backpack, lit one and took a deep drag. The wretched man saw this and came over to ask for it.

Got a cigarette.

At this time, Liu Wei didn't know whether he had finished reading or smelled the smell of cigarettes. He turned his head and asked Bai Chi for one. He leaned next to the wretched man and took a deep puff and said:

"This is indeed Zhao Gao's tomb. Yes, what's strange is the corpse? Are there also tomb robbers who steal corpses? I've never seen anything like this. The pillow is also valuable, why didn't you take it away together? Strange...

…”

When Bai Chi heard Liu Wei's words, he turned around and asked:

"What does it say?"

Liu Wei looked at Bai Chi, his ugly face was troubled, and he replied:

"The records of Zhao Gao's past events only started when he became prime minister. The events are almost the same as those recorded in the history books, but some things are not recorded in the history books. What is said is that when Qin Shihuang was building the imperial mausoleum, Zhao Gao, because of his identity,

The prime minister, who was inferior to one person but surpassed ten thousand people, secretly designed an underground palace for himself that was comparable to Qin Shihuang's mausoleum.

At that time, Li Si had mobilized all the labor force to build the imperial mausoleum. Zhao Gao found Li Si as he should. At first, Li Si did not agree and wanted to report the matter in front of Qin Shihuang, but after Zhao Gao repeatedly politely said so, he no longer pursued the matter.

thing.

But one day Zhao Gao mysteriously found Li Si and went to a brothel with him several times. For some reason, Li Si quietly mobilized 10,000 craftsmen for Zhao Gao to help him build his tomb."

After hearing the last part, Bai Chi frowned, looked at Liu Wei's confused face, thought for a moment, and finally asked:

"You said that anyone other than the emperor would be beheaded if he built a mausoleum. Why did Li Si take such risks to help Zhao Gao? There seems to be no record in history that their relationship has reached the point where they share weal and woe, right?"

Liu Wei rolled his big eyes and said with a smile:

"Master, think about it, what did they do between Li Si's refusal and his agreement?"

"What did you do? Visit a brothel?"

Bai Chi thought for a moment, suddenly understood, and said with a smile:

"Isn't Zhao Gao a eunuch? Why would he go to a place like that? Could it be that he..."

"Who said Zhao Gao was a eunuch?"

Liu Wei interrupted Bai Chi and continued:

"It's normal for him to be in and out of places like that!"

"Isn't that what history says? Zhao Gao was the eunuch beside Qin Shihuang..."

Bai Chi looked at Liu Wei in confusion. Is there an error in this history? These things are not found on the inheritance jade slips that Bai Qi gave him. I didn't expect a tomb robber to know so much? Is this really true?
