Live expedition from tomb raiding

Wu Xie asked, his tone and face were full of inconceivable meaning!

553 Bullying the soft and fearing the hard

"Open a few more coffins to see if it is true."

Glancing at Wu Xie, Ding Ze said something, and immediately, without any hesitation, he decisively opened the coffin with a knife.

Click click.

The tattered coffin lid made harsh sounds one after another.

Work in a while.

Ding Ze opened all the coffins around the three of them.

For a moment, when it was so strong, the stench that could stink people to death mercilessly enveloped the three of them.

In this regard, the old itchy said that he couldn't bear it, and quickly covered his mouth and nose, "Damn it, Brother Ding, you--you want to smell--smelly me to death!!"

Wu Xie also covered her mouth and nose, but not only did she not complain, on the contrary, she made a direct movement, reached into another coffin, and groped for it.

Time flies by.

After about 5 minutes.

Wu Xie's question received an almost definite answer.

So, as a matter of course, looking at the fragments of flower feathers in his hand, the shock on Wu Xie's face was thick and messy.

"How is this going?"

"How come the people in these coffins are all officials above rank five? And they were all murdered?"

"However, how is this possible? There are only so many officials above the fifth rank in the Qing court... There are one or two thousand corpses here... All the officials above the fifth rank in the Qing court were killed, and the number is right No way."

Shocked, Wu Xie talked to himself.

Ding Ze heard it.

The plot has developed to this point, and the content he wants to guide has basically been completed.

So it's time to end this segment and move on, down to the lower levels.

"We only opened a few coffins, maybe there will be officials with lower ranks in other coffins."

"However, I don't think that's the point."

"In my opinion, the focus should be...why do these people in the coffin appear here?"

"This is deep underground, and there is basically no possibility of war...After ruling out this possibility, there is only one reasonable explanation I can think of for the time being."

"These people came to perform a special task. If you think about it in this way...the reason why these people were murdered is very clear."

"I speculate that they discovered some information or items that could not be passed on during their mission... So, in order to keep the secrets, a certain person in power killed them all and simply buried them here..."

Ding Ze said in one breath.

Of course, the 'secret' has something to do with Zhang Qiling, and he didn't mention it.

Ding Ze finished speaking.

Seeing that Wu Xie and Lao Xie were not talking, after thinking about it, he continued, "If I'm right, the mines we walked through might not be mines at all, but these people in the coffin. tunnel dug out."

"The iron chains in the underground river are the tools they use to get to the bottom of the waterfall... There are so many of them, one iron chain is not enough, so many chains are needed. In this way, in the underground river, so many A village with iron chains can be explained."

At this point, what should be said is about the same.

Ding Ze shut up, waiting for Wu Xie or Lao Tiao to make a sound.

He didn't have long to wait.

"Brother Ding, what you said makes sense, maybe the truth is like this. This cave, this labyrinth, can be regarded as a measure to keep secrets..."

Wu Xie nodded, expressing his agreement, then suddenly turned his head to the side, and said with a serious expression on the old itch who had been silent since just now.

"Old itch, I think, if you want to keep the secrets of those in power who kill thousands of people here, it should be almost the same. The great benefits you mentioned are the same thing."

"Are you sure there will be no danger after we go down that deep pit?"

Wu Xie's tone was obviously weird, almost questioning, and he asked the old itch.

Hearing this, Lao Xi frowned, and there was a fleeting surly expression on his face, "Old Wu, it's the same thing, I don't know."

"What I know is, down----there is really no danger down there."

After a pause, the old itchy continued, "I said it, I treat you as—— a brother, I——can't possibly harm you, you still——still doubt me, but It's --- it's a little too much!"

Hear this.

Wu Xie didn't explain, and simply looked away, skipping the unpleasant topic, "Forget it, the situation in this cave is almost clear."

"Now let's concentrate on thinking about how to get through this maze and get to the pit."

The old itchy didn't bother, and replied, "I thought about it just now - after thinking about it, I actually figured it out - the way to pass this maze is very simple."

"We just need to climb --- climb to the top of the coffin, determine the direction of the --- pit, and then step --- step on the coffin, walk --- walk over, and that's it."

Words come out.

Wu Xie didn't make a sound immediately.

Ding Ze glanced at Wu Xie, thought about it for a while, and thought that although the old itching method is actually not a problem, but considering that the cave is very large and there are many big rats, if he walks directly over the coffin, in case One accidentally fell into a pile of mice...

Tsk tsk, that taste is definitely sour and refreshing.

Thinking about it, Ding Ze felt that it would be better to obediently follow the method in the original book, so he said, "I suggest, don't go directly above the maze."

"The coffins here are all rotten. If you go directly, if someone falls inadvertently, it will be like falling into the coffin pile and will be surrounded by the coffins. It will be difficult for others to rescue them."

"Besides, this cave is not considered closed. It's hard to say whether there are any creatures in it... I'm inclined, there is a high possibility that there are some kind of creatures here."

"After all, so many corpses and so much carrion are very attractive to creatures... In this way, if we pass above the maze, we have a certain chance of being surrounded by some kind of creature."

Ding Ze let out a sigh of relief, blah blah blah.

"Don't forget, Comrade Wu Xie's characteristics must be taken into consideration."

"So, to be on the safe side, I think it would be better to walk around the cave wall."
