Chapter 183: The Mysterious Palace
But then again, now Baichi has to think about this matter again.
Judging from the fighting power of that rice dumpling at that time, it can indeed crush the wretched man to death in an instant, but it is not so difficult to deal with Liu Wei, and there is not even a life-and-death scene as imagined. In other words, the fighting power of that rice dumpling is really
Not high.
But if you look at it from an alternative perspective, it has reached a very violent state after absorbing the resentment, but in the end it was killed by Liu Wei. Does it mean that there was a fight before this zongzi appeared, thus making it
Attack power greatly reduced?
But who was the person fighting with this zongzi? Baichi racked his brains and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with it. At this time, Lao Qian said intentionally or unintentionally:
"Zongzi at that time should not be killed so easily, are you right, Liu Wei?"
Bai Chi cheered up with a clever idea. Did Lao Qian still have something to say in his words?
Lao Qian must have known that Bai Chi didn't know anything, and what happened there after Bai Chi and Liu Wei separated? And this matter happened to Lao Qian again, so he dared to ask Liu Wei so blatantly now?
Is it possible that Liu Wei released the rice dumpling from the sarcophagus before he walked onto the stone platform, and then reappeared behind everyone after a fight between the two parties?
"I'm completely confused now, what on earth is going on?"
The wretched man scratched his bald head hard and looked at Liu Wei in confusion.
The matter of Lao Qian has been cleared up, but the finger has been pointed at Liu Wei, who has always been taboo to a few people.
Bai Chi controlled his mood and asked as calmly as possible:
"Liu Wei, can you tell me what's going on?"
Liu Wei glanced at Bai Chi and said softly:
"My boss, it's normal for you not to believe me. It would be the same if it were me."
Seeing Liu Wei's calm expression, which was not at all like what Bai Chi had guessed, he asked:
"Then what do you mean by what you said about your master, Lao Qian?"
Liu Wei replied:
"This is the last time I answer this question. After I separated from you, I did lie to you."
Liu Wei's next words made Bai Chi relax:
"I didn't have too much entanglement with those bats at that time. When I came towards you, I ran into the skinless rice dumpling. At that time, I found that it didn't have much strength. In order to find you quickly, I quickly resolved the battle.
But what surprised me was that I didn’t kill it in the end!”
Now when I looked at the holes in Liu Wei's clothes, I realized that they were all caused by the zongzi.
"Why didn't you tell us then?"
Liu Wei glanced at Bai Chi and said:
"I just didn't want you to worry."
Bai Chi didn't realize the meaning of Liu Wei's words. At this time, the wretched man said carelessly:
"Don't look at what time it was, you still looked like a little woman!"
Liu Wei glared at the wretched man, and then said:
"I don't know who released that rice dumpling. It's a bit tricky!"
Liu Wei said:
"When I wanted to open the coffin lid, I found that it had already been opened, but in order not to make you confused, I pretended to open it again!"
At this point, Liu Wei glanced at Lao Qian and the wretched man, and then looked at Bai Chi, which meant that the two of them also had a blank period when they were not together with Bai Chi.
Lao Qian has long wanted to get rid of the doubts of several people about his thoughts. If he continues to ask questions, he will definitely not get the answers he wants.
Now that things have reached this stage, there must be something hidden, but I really don't want to discuss it any more. Bai Chi glanced at the top of his head and said:
"Now that the matter has been clarified, I think there won't be just the five of us in this mausoleum. Let's go out now!"
The wretched man was impatient for a long time. When Bai Chi finished speaking, he planned to go up, but was pulled back by Bai Chi. Liu Wei saw what Bai Chi meant, and he and Lao Qian looked at each other and walked up one after another.
Bai Chi followed the wretched man and looked at the two of them, a little confused. Someone was obviously lying in the conversation just now, but he couldn't tell who it was.
If it was Lao Qian, Bai Chi wouldn't have any taboos. But if it was Liu Wei, he would be a little worried. This person is a bit elusive. Judging from his actions and words, he is very clear about all the settings of this mausoleum.
But every time he pretends to be very surprised to mislead everyone.
The five people walked towards the building above the stone pillar one after another. The scales on this stone dragon were also very clearly carved. Although it looked like a stone ladder, it was no less than a piece of handicraft.
The wretched man also noticed this and started shouting:
"If there's nothing on it, I'll knock a dragon scale off!"
Lao Qian turned around and said:
"If the whole stone dragon is stolen and sold, it's still valuable, but if it's just a scale, it's not worth much!"
At this time, he had reached the middle of the stone pillar. Baichi looked down at random, and found that this stone dragon was somewhat familiar due to the bird's eye view.
I remember when I was a child, I heard my father tell a story. There was once an evil dragon that harmed the world. Finally, the god found out about it. The god went down to the lower world and nailed the dragon's tail to a dead place with a halberd. In order to escape from this place, the evil dragon
He tried to pull out the halberd with endless pain, but in the end it was still in vain.
In the end, the evil dragon died with a long halberd wrapped around it, and finally turned into a stone sculpture. If those who are lucky enough to see it can climb the dragon's head, they can reach the legendary fairyland.
Baichi once had a great yearning for this legend, but as he grew older, he gradually lost interest in it because it was just a story. But now he thinks back to the story his father told...
The stone dragon that the five people are standing on now is climbing on a huge pillar. If you imagine this pillar as the halberd of the god, let's think about the legend. Baichi's body suddenly paused, and the dragon's head was on top of it.
Is that building really a wonderland??
If that's really the case, who would live in this fairyland? Could it be that what I'm looking for is up there?
Suddenly, Bai Chi had a bright idea. This was the clearest moment since he entered the tomb...
The person standing on the fourth mural that I saw in the corridor was not Zhao Gao, but the one whose head was lying on the ground in a different place was Zhao Gao.
The meaning of that mural is that Zhao Gao has been killed by him.
In other words, the first two tombs are virtual tombs, built for this underground wonderland, and also to disturb the minds of tomb robbers and protect the tombs here.
Zhao Gao was killed by Ziying, which means that the place where Baichi and the others are now is probably Ying Ziying's tomb.
Bai Chi shook his head. It would be futile to make too many guesses now. He had already come here, and any puzzle would be easily solved if he walked halfway through.
Walking along the dragon scale stairs to the entrance, a layer of mist spreads on the top of the stairs, making the surrounding buildings feel a bit unreal.
After a few people went up from the entrance, what they saw was the majestic palace building.
At this moment, not only Bai Chi, but also Liu Wei, Lao Qian, the wretched man and Bai Shisan were also shocked and dumbfounded. Who would have thought that this so-called inconspicuous mausoleum could actually be an underground palace.
The main hall in front is really like a fairyland shrouded in mist. The top of the main hall is almost connected to the top of the tomb. The mining lamp in Liu Wei's hand is constantly sweeping. Two rows of lamp slaves carved from stone stand neatly on both sides of the aisle in front of him.
The wretched man exclaimed:
"Oh my god, why can't you see the treasures outside? It turns out they are all hidden here! It seems that this old boy Zhao Gao is also a miser!"
Bai Chi was not amused by the dirty man's joke. If you still think that this palace and even the entire mausoleum were built by Zhao Gao, then this person's IQ is really low.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lao Qian said:
"You still think this mausoleum was built by Zhao Gao?"
Bai Chi was also stunned when he heard this. Seeing the horrified expression of the wretched man, he secretly thought about the subtlety of Lao Qian's observation. But if it weren't for Zhao Gao's tomb, whose tomb would it be? Is it really Ying Ziying?
Now there are some speculations that cannot be hidden. Just when Bai Chi was hesitating whether to reveal his speculations, Liu Wei said:
"This is indeed not Zhao Gao's tomb!"
A trace of surprise flashed in Bai Chi's eyes and he asked:
"How did you know?"
Liu Wei replied:
"Before I entered here, I thought that the owner of this tomb was Zhao Gao, but judging from the magnificence of the palace in front of me, it was no longer something that Zhao Gao could have built by himself!"
Bai Chi has always been suspicious of Liu Wei's identity. He is definitely not a simple tomb robber, but now he says such inconsistent words, what is his intention?
Liu Wei didn't know whether he should ask clearly now or go in. When he was hesitating, the wretched man said:
"I don't think we should discuss this matter anymore. We only need to go in and take a look to find out whose tomb this is!"
There was some truth to what the wretched man said. Bai Chi looked at the palace in front of him, and for some reason he suddenly felt a sense of fear.
There was no way, even if there was a room full of rice dumplings locked up in the palace in front, they still had to go in now. Liu Wei still acted as the vanguard, with Lao Qian and the wretched man in the middle, and Bai Chi and Bai Shisan behind. Before entering, Bai Chi looked back.
Bai Shisan looked gloomy...
Originally, Lao Qian wanted to go last, but because he suddenly disappeared and feared that Lao Qian would attack us at the critical moment, Bai Chi could only politely reject him.
After walking to the front of the palace, the mist slowly faded away. At this time, Liu Wei swept upwards with a miner's lamp. The name of the palace caught Bai Chi's attention.
From the phoenix pattern seen in the second tomb to the phoenix pattern in the four murals, Bai Chi's heart began to beat wildly. He thought that all this would pass, but reality once again made a mysterious joke.
