Chapter 20: Tomb of Prince Gumo

Zhang Lin saw that Fatty Wang was speaking nicely, but he and Hu Bayi were vaguely sandwiched between him. Although he didn't know why the two of them were like this, when Wang Kaixuan talked about the big golden tooth, he remembered the tomb of Prince Gumo in the original work.
There was no danger, I could definitely follow him and have a look, so he agreed.
When Hu Bayi and the others saw that Zhang Lin agreed to go to the tomb, they looked at each other and nodded, and arranged the equipment for him very considerately.
Zhang Lin didn't understand what he was seeing, but he followed the others down the ladder to the tomb door. Everyone worked together to open the tomb door sealed with animal skins and entered the upper level of Prince Gumo's tomb: the sacrificial hall.
"ah!"
Suddenly, just as a group of people were about to enter the sacrificial hall, a cry of surprise rang out, which also startled them.
It turned out that the oil lamp in the sacrificial hall had spontaneously ignited without anyone lighting it.
This sudden incident made Ye Yixin, who was behind several people, scream with fright, and even Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi were so frightened that they broke into cold sweats.
The two people walking at the front carefully looked at the main hall illuminated by the oil lamp. Wang Kaixuan asked Hu Badi in a low voice: "Old Hu, isn't it a ghost who blows the lamp? Why did he turn into a ghost and light the lamp?"
"Don't be afraid, everyone!" Professor Chen, who came in at the end, explained to everyone: "This is a method commonly used in the past. It uses white phosphorus. White phosphorus has a low ignition point. When exposed to air, it spontaneously ignites and then ignites an oil lamp. It is an ordinary method.
s method."
Wang Kaixuan said: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's too cruel!"
When Hu Bayi heard this, he said blankly to the other party: "Aren't you afraid? Your voice has changed!"
Wang Kaixuan heard this and said, "Am I afraid? I am worried about everyone."
After that, everyone moved forward and walked to the altar and said, "Isn't this a tomb? Why is there no coffin?"
When Hu Ba heard this, he suddenly remembered that they were at the tomb of a general from the Yuan Dynasty, and they didn't see a coffin when they first entered.
Thinking that there might be some mechanism, they used flashlights to illuminate the surroundings to check. When everyone saw that wherever the flashlights shined, there were all kinds of mummies in extremely miserable death conditions, tied with iron chains to the pillars around the sacrificial altar.
Ye Yixin and Sa Dipeng, who were traveling together, vomited on the spot and ran to the back.
Professor Chen quickly asked Ye Yixin. When Hu Bayi saw this, he looked at Shirley Yang and said, "Are you okay?"
Shirley Yang nodded and said she was fine, then went to talk to Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, these should be slaves or prisoners buried here."
Professor Chen nodded and said: "It seems that this is really not a tomb, but a place where large-scale sacrificial activities are held.
The customs of most small countries in the Western Region are similar. They will tie criminals or prisoners who have violated the law in the desert to die of thirst. After they are completely dried into mummies, they will be placed here, and then the blood of the slaughtered animals will be poured on these mummies.
.”
"It's so miserable!"
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he sighed with emotion: "Fortunately, we grew up in a new society. This evil old society is too barbaric!"
Hu Bayi also said: "***!"
Hao Aiguo on the side heard this and said: "This is very common in slave society."
With that said, he took Sa Di Peng and others and began to study these mummies. Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang were surrounded by a large number of altars.
Shirley Yang asked Zhang Lin: "Weren't you scared just now?"
"What are you still afraid of?" Zhang Lin said: "I have been dealing with corpses since I was a child. Sleeping on graves is a common occurrence."
Shirley Yang smiled and said, "Really?"
Then he went aside.
Seeing Shirley Yang leaving, Zhang Lin quickly patted his legs.
"Well, there's sand on the legs of my trousers, let me pat it!" Zhang Lin explained with a smile while shielding himself from the bright light of the flashlight with one hand.
Shirley Yang nodded and said: "Then hurry up and take pictures. If not, you can take a shower outside."
Zhang Lin calmly stayed away from the mummies and said with a smile: "That's not necessary, you still want to drink."
Seeing Shirley Yang turn around, Zhang Lin said: "By the way, boss, if you drink the water outside, will you have soaked in these corpses or there are corpses under the water..."
"Wow……"
Ye Yixin, who was walking by, heard the words and spat it out again.
"You kid, don't be disgusting. No, I can't stand Lao Hu anymore..."
As Fatty Wang vomited, everyone who heard Zhang Lin's words vomited out. Sa Di Peng and Hao Aiguo heard the sound and hurriedly came over and asked several people: "What's wrong with you? Why are you vomiting?"
Hu Bayi waved his hand and said: "We are fine. Professor Hao, you continue to inspect, we will look around."
"Oh!" Hao Aiguo and Sa Dipeng looked at the few people suspiciously, then went to study the mummies.
Hu Bayi and others looked at Zhang Lin fiercely, and Shirley Yang said, "Didn't you drink too?"
"No!" Zhang Lin spread his hands and said, "I've never drunk the water in the desert. In this damn place, you only know what's in the water, right?"
Several people were confused when they heard this: "How come you haven't drank water for so many days?"
"Everyone should look around to see if there are any secret passages from other agencies!" Zhang Lin changed the topic and said: "There is no way that there is no other place for a sacrificial hall as big as this.
There should be at least some locker rooms, guard rooms, etc. After all, in ancient times, this sacrificial ritual was an important weapon in both tribes and feudal countries, so here...it's not complete."
"That makes sense!" Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan nodded after hearing this, and then went to find the agency to talk secretly.
"No, why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Lin asked uncomfortably when he saw Shirley Yang still staring at him.
"Since entering the desert, you haven't drank from the water we found. How did you do it for so long? Or what did you drink?"
Seeing that Zhang Lin was about to speak, Shirley Yang said seriously: "Mr. Zhang, you have to think carefully before speaking. All our supplies are equal. We are all short of water, aren't you?
Also, if you didn’t mention it, I haven’t noticed that from last night to now, you haven’t drank the water outside. I’m curious, aren’t you thirsty?”
"Did you see that?" On the side, Hu Bayi and his two men were absentmindedly looking for the agency. They held their ears open and looked at Zhang Lin and Shirley Yang secretly. Seeing Shirley Yang looking like they were interrogating, Hu Bayi said to the fat man: "Fat man.
, it’s right to tell you not to talk too much. Look, if I hadn’t given you the chance to talk, we would be the ones standing there now.”
Wang Kaixuan said: "I keep my mouth shut! But Lao Hu, are you curious about what this guy drinks? I think this guy is very mysterious.
Think about it, our group almost didn't go out because of lack of water a few days ago, but if you think back, this kid was called Youran at that time. Along the way, this kid has never been short of anything but water.
If you think about it again, is he still a human being with his skills?
The ice block as big as the front of the car was smashed with a shovel, and the ordnance shovel was deformed, but his expression remained unchanged...
In short, this guy is too evil. I think Miss Yang did a good job in interrogating him and it is best to find out who this guy is."
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang watched the show secretly. Zhang Lin looked at Shirley Yang and rubbed his forehead.
"You come with me!"
Zhang Lin walked out of the sacrificial hall. Shirley Yang hesitated and followed him out.
"Where are they going?" Wang Kaixuan bumped into Hu Ba and asked, "Do you want to follow them?"
Chapter completed!
