Chapter 201 The corpse of the woman in red

 Let Qi Tiezui take care of Zhang Wenyu, while Ye Bai and Partridge Shao continued walking towards the back of the stone statue.

When the beam of the flashlight shines, a throne inlaid with gold and jade is located in the deepest part of Huixian Hall in the distance. There is a golden pool in front of it. The pool is not narrow, but the water in it has long dried up.

There was a red jade dragon coiled on the throne. Under the reflection of the light, the dragon's body was filled with light, and there was a faint red light surging. Ye Bai stepped forward and saw that it was full of mercury.

The carving of this jade dragon is ingenious. The dragon's tail and a section of its body lie lazily on the throne. The dragon's head and claws are inserted into the mural, connecting the mural and the throne as one.

The paint on the mural is peeling off badly, but the content on it can still be seen clearly.

In the painting, fairy clouds are like a sea, smoke is lingering, and the heavenly palace on the top of the mountain is looming. A king, surrounded by his ministers, slowly ascends to the heavenly palace.

This seems to depict the scene of the king becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven.

The partridge whistle found something on the mural and moved closer.

On the mural, King Xian is seen wearing a round-necked and wide python robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head. The crown is inlaid with a bead, which looks like a human eye, and it clearly looks like the Muchen Bead.

"Third brother, it seems that the Muchen Pearl is indeed in the hands of King Xian." Partridge Whistle looked excited and said with conviction.

Ye Bai nodded noncommittally, thinking: I've told you so many times, why don't you believe it yet?

There is another space behind the throne, which is the apse of the Huixian Hall. According to the style of the Qin Dynasty, the apse side is for sacrifices, not a sleeping palace. There should be many inscriptions praising the king for future generations to pay homage to.<

/p>

After passing through a short corridor, the two came to the even more gloomy and dark back palace hall.

There is an inscription in the corridor, which is called "Shangzhen Hall".

There are many inscriptions in the hall, and there are eight separate walls arranged in the shape of nine palaces and eight trigrams.

The two of them looked at the content on the wall separately. These murals were basically painted brick by brick, covering all areas of politics, sacrifice, war and other aspects of the ancient Dian Kingdom during the King Xian period.

If a professor who specializes in history discovers this thing, it will really be a priceless treasure.

It's a pity that Ye Bai and Partridge Whistle are not such people.

Partridge Whistle wanted to find some information about the situation in the King's Cemetery Palace from the painting, but Ye Bai was attracted by a painting depicting war.

This mural tells that King Xian led the people of Dian Kingdom to attack Yelang Kingdom during his lifetime.

Both Yelang and the Dian Kingdom were regarded as barbarians in the southwest during the Han Dynasty and had low productivity. However, the Dian Kingdom's bronze smelting technology was much better than that of the Yelang Kingdom, so the Dian Kingdom won the war and captured a large number of Yelangs.

People of Lang Kingdom.

Because these prisoners of war and slaves were the main force in building the king's tomb, the murals and inscriptions exaggerated these achievements.

The key is that the inscription contains a description of the geographical location of Yelang Kingdom. If you study it carefully, you may be able to find the tomb of the king of Yelang Kingdom.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Yelang Kingdom was also considered the largest country in the southwest. At that time, the Han envoy Yelang, King Yelang said, "Which one is greater, Han or me?" This angered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Later, the Yelang Kingdom was destroyed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but there are only a few mentions of this former great foreign country in the history books, and there is also an idiom about Yelang's arrogance, which makes people sigh.

I think there should be a lot of treasures in the tomb of the king of Yelang Kingdom.

At this time, the Partridge Whistle found a two-meter-high six-legged bronze tripod behind the stone tablet, and quickly called Ye Bai over.

The tripod is covered with a copper lid, and there is a huge copper ring on each side. The six legs are six half-kneeling mythical beasts. The shape is vigorous and simple, and the body is covered with scales. It seems to be a mythical beast like a unicorn.

Ye Bai stepped forward and touched the bronze tripod, showing joy. Along the way, this was regarded as the first national treasure-level cultural relic.

The partridge whistle knocked on the bronze cauldron, and there was a thick echo. The bronze cauldron seemed to be filled with something.

Nodding slightly to Ye Bai, Partridge Whistle turned over the big cauldron and kicked up the copper lid with skillful force. A faint fishy smell suddenly came out from the cauldron.

Ye Bai also turned over and stepped on the edge of the bronze cauldron, only to see white flowers inside, all naked men and women. Judging from the corpses, there were men, women, old and young, and the number was at least a dozen.

These corpses were piled up in white solidified grease and made into wax corpses. They were so disgusting that even Ye Bai, who had seen strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

King Xian is really not a human being!

As early as the Xia and Shang dynasties, there are records of using cauldrons to cook people to sacrifice to the gods, and the people being cooked could not be ordinary slaves. It is estimated that among these corpses are the princes and nobles of the Yelang Kingdom.

Ye Bai wanted to burn these corpses, but most of the beams in Huixian Hall were made of nanmu, which could not be burned, so Ye Bai put the entire cauldron into the space and burned it after leaving.

Seeing the six-legged cauldron in front of him suddenly disappear, Partridge Whistle knew that it had been taken away by Ye Bai, and he was no longer surprised.

At this time, the stone bricks carrying the cauldron suddenly sank, and the sound of gear rotation echoed in the empty hall.

It seems that some mechanism was triggered.

Ye Bai and Partridge Whistle looked wary, looking around, and heard the laughter of "Kekehehehehe!" coming from the depths of the lifeless palace.

The voice sounded like that of a woman, but the cold laughter revealed something sinister, as if a female ghost had come to seek life.

Qi Tiezui and Zhang Wenyu, who were in the front hall, were alerted by the sound and knew what was going on inside.

Zhang Wenyu couldn't help but said: "Brother Tiezui, the voices inside have bad intentions. Should we go in and take a look? Help them?"

"Don't worry, one of them is the mountain-moving leader, and the other is the golden captain. Even if the thousand-year-old female ghost revives, they are no match for them. Besides, you are half disabled and I am completely disabled. Wouldn't it add chaos if you go in?"

Having said that, Qi Tiezui couldn't help but look into the depths of the main hall, dear, how could there be a woman's voice in this palace that has been vacant for two thousand years? Could it be that the Third Master and the others found out King Xian's wife?<

/p>

"Third brother, southeast corner!"

The Partridge Whistle reacted quickly, jumped on its feet, rolled over the beams and pillars, and ran towards the source of the sound.

Ye Bai also followed, and the two of them came to a corner of the palace, where the woman's voice came from.

The two of them looked above their heads and saw a sleeveless woman in a red robe hanging from a beam. The ceiling of the palace was dark and they couldn't see clearly even with a flashlight.

What's strange is that the woman in red sways with the hanging rope, as if the wind is constantly blowing.

But both of them knew that this hall was closed, so how could there be wind?

Partridge Whistle was just about to go up and take a look when he was pulled back by Ye Bai. From the perspective of the strange eyes, the woman in red robe was covered in black energy, and there was obviously something unclean attached to it.

Ye Bai handed a talisman made by Sun Guofu to Partridge Whistle, held a thousand-year-old peach wood sword, and climbed up to the top of the palace.

What hangs above is indeed a female corpse wearing a red robe, but the legs of this female corpse have been cut off, and the remaining half of the body has been made into a black wax corpse.

There was still carrion on the face of the female corpse, her eyes were sunken, and she had a weird smile, as if she was staring at Ye Bai.

As the saying goes, if you encounter a dead body wearing pure red mourning clothes, or a dead person wearing a smile on his face, it is a sign of great misfortune.

This female corpse is both!

But Ye Bai was not intimidated by this thing yet. He swung the red peach wood sword in his hand and stabbed the female corpse in red with the blade. Then he heard a miserable scream that exploded in his ears.

Most of the black air clinging to the female corpse dissipated and condensed into two groups, one of which rushed towards the Partridge Whistle below.

The talismans on Partridge Whistle automatically burned to protect his body, and the black energy was directly dispersed.
