The body of a mandrill?

Chen Ziyan looked closely and found that, just as Shirley Yang said, there were some stitching marks on the sides of these special corpses.

"Put the cauldron lid back first." Chen Ziyan said after looking back.

The most important thing for them now is to get more effective information from the red-robed flash woman, instead of worrying about the details of the corpse in the cauldron.

"Okay." Hu Ba nodded.

After all, it's just a guess that the red-robed Shanpo can't attack them. What if this thing is playing them?

After all, whoever stipulates that ghosts must have the same mindset as humans, let alone a ghost that has been around for thousands of years.

Therefore, we must take advantage of this opportunity to maximize our benefits.

Seeing that the two leaders in the team said this, the others naturally had no objections.

Immediately, several people restored the removed cauldron cover to its original state in the same manner as before.

After the copper cauldron was restored, Chen Ziyan returned his attention to the red-robed Shan Po. He said to the little green-scaled python:

"Little guy, tell it for me that we have shown sincerity and asked it if it knows what is hidden here."

Chen Ziyan did not follow what Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi said and asked about the tomb of the king and the treasures in the tomb. He knew without thinking that Shanpo probably didn't know this, so he might as well ask about the jade letter.

.

At least this place can be regarded as its territory, and maybe it can provide some clues.

"Hiss—" the little green-scaled python relayed truthfully.

After hearing the little green-scaled python relaying the past questions, the red-robed Shan Po's face covered in strange makeup turned faintly to a painting wall not far away, and then slowly disappeared in front of everyone.

"What is this?" Wang Kaixuan asked incomprehensibly as he glanced at the place where the red-robed Shan Po disappeared.

Although everyone can't communicate, there is no need to be so perfunctory.

However, Chen Ziyan understood immediately that what the red-robed Shanpo wanted to express was that there was something inside the painted wall.

Of course, this is because he knew beforehand that there was a jade letter hidden in the painting wall, so he was the first to react.

However, although the reactions of others were not as good as his, they soon came up with speculations. Hu Bayi tentatively said: "It means...it should be that there is something hidden in the wall painting, right?"

He thought it should be so, but he couldn't be completely sure.

"You'll know after you try it." Chen Ziyan, who already had the answer in his mind, said without hesitation.

There must be something extremely important in the jade letter hidden in this sacrificial hall. Chen Ziyan will not give up easily if he has the chance to get it.

"Do we really want to destroy these paintings?" Shirley Yang asked.

She felt that these mural paintings had profound archaeological value and did not want to destroy them if possible.

Facing Shirley Yang's question, Chen Ziyan just said lightly: "The things that can hide King Xian here, even if they don't help us enter the tomb next, will definitely be more valuable than these murals."

Shirley Yang only hesitated for a second, then nodded and agreed: "Then let's try it."

She still understands the principle of the lesser of two powers harming each other, not to mention that it may also be related to their next actions.

In the face of her family's curse, all these will have to stand aside.

Then she said: "I'll see if I can find the mechanism."

Although she agreed with Chen Ziyan's words, Shirley Yang still wanted to give it one last try, so that even if she had to destroy the painting wall in the end, she would have nothing to regret.

At least... I have a clear conscience.

"Yes, but as soon as possible." Chen Ziyan probably understood what she was thinking, so he didn't refuse, but just gave a little time.

After Shirley Yang went to study the painted wall, Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the copper cauldron in front of him.

Through the inheritance from the bloodline, he can be said to be the person who knows the most about this thing today, so he naturally knows how to use it.

This was the source of his confidence in agreeing to the red-robed Shanpo to deal with these corpses.

Before receiving the bloodline inheritance, he might have been afraid that activating the copper cauldron would trigger other mechanisms, but now he no longer has this worry.

However, Chen Ziyan did not take action now, but planned to observe it first and wait until he got the jade letter.

No one noticed that just when they were focusing on the painted wall and the copper cauldron, the flash woman in red robe who disappeared before quietly appeared behind them again.

But the red-robed Shan Po didn't make any sound this time. Instead, after looking at Chen Ziyan's Shengqian bracelet with fear, she turned into a ray of light and got into the bluestone bottle. If Chen Ziyan looked at the bluestone bottle at this time, he would

You will find that the jade body inside has been completely formed and has obvious female characteristics.

Obviously, the red-robed lady's cooperation just now was not just as simple as being unable to hurt Chen Ziyan and the others, but she also had her own plans behind it.

At the same time, this also proves that the wisdom of this red-robed woman is far more than what she shows.

However, Chen Ziyan and the others don't know this yet. Although they are always vigilant about their surroundings, most of their attention is focused on the things in front of them.

After circling the copper cauldron twice, Chen Ziyan had found the activated mechanism, and then moved his eyes to Shirley Yang.

Perhaps sensing Chen Ziyan's gaze, Shirley Yang shook her head slightly: "Without any mechanism, this wall is just a simple building."

In other words, if something is really hidden inside, the only way to take it out is to destroy the painted wall.

"Then just tear down this wall." Chen Ziyan said.

Since even Shirley Yang couldn't find anything, there is no need for others to check.

"I'll come!" Wang Kaixuan stepped forward immediately.

He has been waiting for this sentence for a long time!

When Hu Ba saw him like this, he did not forget to remind him: "Fat man, be gentle when you do it."

Although it is inevitable to destroy this painted wall, it is not a bad thing to save a little more. It won't be troublesome anyway, as long as you use some caution when doing it.

"Don't worry!" Wang Kaixuan said without looking back.

He knew that it was too late for him to get started in other areas, so he deliberately learned these jobs that were more physical than technical.

There is no need to explain the process of demolishing the wall. The fat man is quite accomplished in this aspect, so Chen Ziyan soon saw the jade box in his memory.

This jade letter seems to be made from a whole piece of jade, about 30 centimeters long and 14 to 15 centimeters wide. There is no carving decoration on it. There is only a gold edge on the lid. There is no key.

Things like holes exist, but after Chen Ziyan took it and tried it, he couldn't open it directly.

It seems that this thing still has a mechanism, but it is not reflected too much on the outside.

After Chen Ziyan looked at the jade box, he put it into his personal space. He planned to wait until he was in a safe place before studying it.

Then he raised his flashlight and shined it at the top of the hall, and saw more than a dozen sets of clothes hanging above. There were witch robes similar to those worn by Shan Po, as well as noble clothes, and armors worn by soldiers, and finally

What caught people's attention was Shan Po in red robe.

"I asked where did this thing go? It turns out to be here." Wang Kaixuan said the moment he saw the red-robed Shan Po.

Although he didn't show it, he was always thinking about where this thing was going.

Now that I see it, I finally feel relieved.

Seeing these different clothes, Hu Bayi thought for a while and looked at the bronze cauldron: "It seems like there is nothing inside these clothes. The original owner should be the corpse in this cauldron."

Chen Ziyan nodded in agreement: "That's true. Look at the edges. Those sets of clothes are obviously not for adults."

This is the best proof. After all, there was a child's body in the copper cauldron.

"King Xian has stewed the nobles and gods of the Yi people in one pot." Wang Kaixuan sighed with emotion.

"He must have a unique reason for doing this. Strictly speaking, the corpse in the copper cauldron can only be regarded as a semi-finished product," Ding Sitian said.

Shirley Yang also said: "The similarities are striking. Both King Xian and King Chuang not only use the same copper cauldron to cook prisoners, but also use the highest-status prisoners as the main ingredients. We must be among them.

I still don’t know the reason.”

She has always believed that everything happens for a reason, and she feels that the reason for this similar scene to occur is probably the same.

Chen Ziyan heard this and said with a smile: "If my prediction is correct, the reason is probably in the jade letter we just found."

Although he still doesn't know what is in the jade letter, he must be right, otherwise why would King Xian hide the jade letter in this sacrificial hall.

Hu Bayi reminded at this time: "Master Chen, should we withdraw? This place is not a place to stay for a long time."

"Wait a moment, there is one thing left to deal with." Chen Ziyan nodded first and then said.

Now that the jade letter has been obtained, there is no need for them to stay here any longer, so it is time to complete what they promised to Po Shan.

Although he doesn't make many promises easily, as long as he promises something, he will try his best to complete it.

Then he activated the mechanism on the copper cauldron. When Chen Ziyan activated the mechanism, he saw a stream of flames spitting out from the mouths of the six beast feet at the same time, forming a ring of fire around the bottom of the copper cauldron.

Driven by this ring of fire, the black material in the cauldron also began to burn violently. In an instant, the entire copper cauldron was enveloped in flames, like a big fireball.

Because the cauldron lid was sealed, they couldn't see the specific situation, but they could smell the oil and corpses being cooked inside, so they quickly put on their masks.

Seeing this, Hu Bayi couldn't help but said: "Master Chen, is this your method..."

Although what he said later was unspoken, everyone present knew what it was. It was obvious that they also felt that Chen Ziyan's method was a bit unusual. This was not helping to dispose of the body, but simply helping King Xian complete the remaining steps.

You don't need to look now to know what's going on in the cauldron.

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan smiled slightly, then he pointed out the long stick in his hand and struck directly at the connection between the cauldron lid and the cauldron body, creating a gap. The flames all over the cauldron body poured in instantly after the gap appeared.
