Chapter 73

With strong unwillingness, Wu Liang immediately moved to the end of the bronze hall.

Unexpectedly, although the clothes on this tanned corpse had long been rotten, even if Wu Liang hadn't touched them, some places had been torn, but the two boots on the feet were relatively well preserved.

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

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

Wu Liang turned around and called Dian Wei, and handed the rope that tied Bai Jingjing to him.

He has to take off the boots for the tanned corpse himself. This fact cannot be left to Cao Ting and a few soldiers, in case 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 bent down and slowly stretched out his hands towards the corpse in the bronze coffin, Bai Jingjing immediately stomped her feet again, scolding loudly with red eyes: "You rebellious villain, what else do you want to give up?"

It's a pity that Dian Wei's strength is astonishing, no matter how much she struggles while pulling the rope, it is difficult for her to get an inch closer to stop Wu Liang.

Wu Liang simply ignored her and concentrated on pinching the boot on the left foot of the tanned corpse.

Then gently pulled it outwards, it seemed that the boots were worn tightly, and they didn't even seem to come off the tanned corpse's feet in the slightest.

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

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

Wu Liang held his measure very carefully, his expression focused like a doctor performing an operation.

Cao Ti and the others didn't dare to disturb, they just stood in the distance and watched quietly.

In this way, the boots were quickly picked up in half.

This is all due to the relationship of time. Although the boots did not shatter like clothes, they are also much more fragile, and they almost break when picked lightly.

Just then.

"Grrrr!"

A strange sound suddenly came from inside the bronze coffin.

The sound was accompanied by the sound of liquid flowing, and there was some dullness, as if... It was the sound of a person's stomach when they were hungry or had indigestion.

!! ?
Cao Ting and the others couldn't help but shudder.

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

It doesn't matter!

At some point, a small piece of cyan jade in the mouth of the tanned corpse spit out half of the mouth without everyone knowing it! ?

The mouth of this piece of jade has been eroded, and black and red silk threads have penetrated into the jade, making it seem like a genuine "dead jade".

In the folklore of later generations, this kind of "dead jade" is a very evil and evil thing. If you wear it on your body or keep 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 he would rather believe what he has than believe what he has not.

After all, this thing has been with dead bodies 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 those red and black threads that seep into it...

But now is not the time to talk about this!
"Brother talented and virtuous, this is..."

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

"Stand back, stay away."

Without looking back, Wu Liang gently let go of the left foot of the tanned corpse, and hurriedly moved a few steps to the side of the bronze coffin, reminding everyone very vigilantly.

at this time.

"Shh!"

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

At the same time, a large mouthful of unknown black-brown viscous liquid, together with the buccal, sprayed out from the mouth of the tanned corpse, and spit out two meters away with a "wow".

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

"what!"

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

Some people's lips trembled, looking in horror at the tanned corpse that suddenly sat up in the bronze coffin, their teeth chattering non-stop: "This, this, this, this... this can't be haunted, right? Captain, Captain, Sima, this, this place is too evil, so, why don't we just grab the gold and leave quickly?"

Not only them, even Bai Jingjing was shocked at the moment.

Obviously, this situation has exceeded her cognition as a tomb keeper. After all, if Guangchuan Wang Liu committed suicide more than 200 years ago, even if she is a tomb keeper, she is only a descendant who has been passed down for many generations. Not all details of the tomb are known.

"call--"

Even Wu Liang broke out in a cold sweat.

The scene just now was too weird and too sudden, even he was completely unprepared.

Now that he finally calmed down a little, seeing the tanned corpse sitting up and burying his head between his legs, Wu Liangcai was finally relieved when there was no movement since then.

Then he boldly approached it a little closer, and after carefully examining it with the help of the firelight, he finally turned around and smiled at the frightened crowd: "Don't panic! This is not a haunting, but a man-made anti-theft mechanism."

"Anti-theft mechanism?"

Everyone was puzzled, and Bai Jingjing also looked over suspiciously.

"That's right, the real killer move of this agency is actually those venoms!"

Wu Liang pointed to the dark brown liquid on the ground and said, "Just inject gas into the cavity of the corpse in advance, pour the venom down the throat, and seal it with a mouthful. 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 terrible if it is drenched... The strange sound we heard in advance is that when I lifted the corpse's legs, the corpse cavity It is caused by the compression of the gas inside."

This kind of burial institution was recorded in the "Shu Zhai Lao Xue Cong Tan" in the Yuan Dynasty.

It is said that in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, there was a tomb robber surnamed Zhu. When he stole the imperial tomb of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, he found a very valuable jade belt tied around the waist of Zhao Kuangyin's body.

But Zhao Kuangyin's body was so fat that he couldn't move it with all his strength, so the tomb robber made a rope around the back of the corpse, tied the rope around his neck and tied a knot to move it vigorously.

Unexpectedly, the air in the body of the corpse was slightly squeezed, so it might suddenly sit up and spray a mouthful of unknown liquid on the tomb robber's face.

The tomb robber had no choice but to flee, and returned home to wash his face with clean water, only to find that the liquid spit out of the corpse was poisonous, and all the places contaminated by the "corpse fluid" left reddish-brown traces, no matter how you wash it It can't be washed clean.

Since then, the tomb robber has had the title of "Red Painted Face".

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

But having said that, the venom encountered by "Zhu Qilian" was relatively benevolent, it just left a large mark.

The venom that Wu Liang encountered this time may not be so benevolent, maybe even a little bit of it will kill him!
