Chapter Twenty-Six: The Remains Are He
The white jade flute fell on the sarcophagus in a dashing manner, looking at the stone steps, I saw an iron machete inserted on the second stone steps, a crescent moon sword on the third stone steps, a giant axe on the fourth stone steps, and a silver spear on the fifth stone steps.

Bai Yuxiao knew at a glance that it was the weapon in the hands of those generals. Look at the sixth stone staircase, two flames one foot high are spewing out. The seventh stone step disappeared to reveal a hole, and Bai Yuxiao could imagine that the bottom of the hole must have been full of stabs, and when people stepped on the stone steps, they fell into the air.
On the eighth stone step, two huge iron balls hanging on the top of the main hall are constantly swaying from side to side, and if people step on the eighth stone steps, they are afraid that they will be knocked into meat cakes.
There is an iron cage on the ninth stone step, and the iron cage weighs only a thousand catties, and if a person is one step slower and trapped in it, he is afraid that he will be trapped until he dies.
The tenth stone staircase kept emitting a silvery white viscous liquid, and the liquid was emitting white smoke. Bai Yuxiao sniffed the white smoke, but felt that the smell was pungent.
Bai Yuxiao was secretly surprised, this was the smell of mercury evaporation, if he was trapped in the ninth level and couldn't get out immediately, he was afraid that he would be poisoned and die.
He landed on the ground and slammed the lid of the sarcophagus away, and looked into the sarcophagus, but there was only one piece of clothing inside.
The smell of mercury evaporation became heavier and heavier, and Bai Yuxiao didn't dare to stay, jumped three feet away, avoided the fire of the sixth stone step, and landed next to Wen Shijie, who was anxiously waiting.
Wen Shijie hurriedly asked, "How?"
Bai Yuxiao hurriedly said: "Hurry up, it's dangerous here." ”
The two hurriedly ran out, and after only a few steps, Bai Yuxiao stepped on a piece of the floor, the floor sank, the sound of the mechanism starting, and a thousand catties of boulders fell from the stone gate, blocking the way out.
This is good, there is no way out, Bai Yuxiao and Wen Shijie's hearts also sink like this thousand catties of boulders.
Wen Shijie hurriedly said, "What did you find in the coffin?"
Bai Yuxiao shook his head and said, "Nothing, this is just a suspicious grave for Cao Cao." ”
Wen Shijie said: "According to Cao Cao's character, even if it is a suspicious tomb, there will be funeral goods to make it realistic, and the main hall has no valuables at all, I believe there must be an ear room nearby, let's look for it." ”
The two of them did not dare to delay, because they knew that the mercury evaporated badly, and they knew that the air in this hall would soon be consumed by the fire burning on the stone steps.
The two hurriedly pressed every piece of masonry on the wall, for they found that the mechanism of the door must be a brick on the wall. But it seems that the situation is not as they think.
After half an hour, they began to feel uncomfortable, and Bai Yuxiao felt that he had to find a mechanism for the door on tens of thousands of bricks and stones, undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
Time passed slowly, the air became thinner and thinner, and the two of them felt dizzy.
Bai Yuxiao suddenly laughed and said three times: "Cao Cao built this underground palace just for us, and our corpses have a place to stay." He said so chicly, he didn't seem to be afraid of death, but who knew that he was afraid of death, but Bai Yuxiao was helpless.
Bai Yuxiao walked towards the sarcophagus, breathing uncomfortably, and his eyes were a little foggy. Wen Shijie looked at Bai Yuxiao and said secretly: "This young hero can face death so proudly, am I not as good as him?" After thinking about it, he laughed and followed behind Bai Yuxiao.
At this time, the two of them were ready to face death, the air was thin, and the fire on the stone steps was gradually decreasing. Bai Yuxiao and Wen Shijie slowly walked up the stone steps, in the past, they walked on the eaves and walls like walking on the ground, but now they feel that they are climbing a high mountain.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, each level of the two of them is so difficult, this is the reflection of hypoxia.
Fourth, fifth, Bai Yuxiao and Wen Shijie only felt that this was a stairway to hell.
At the sixth level, the fire became weak, as fragile as the lives of Bai Yuxiao and Bai Yuxiao, as if a gust of wind could blow it out. Bai Yuxiao didn't want to die on this stone step, he strode through the sixth level and stepped on the seventh level. But he seemed to have forgotten that there were no stone steps on the seventh level, so as soon as he stepped on it, his whole body fell into the hole.
Only then did Bai Yuxiao remember that the seventh stone step was gone, and the seventh level was full of stabs, and he sighed that he was going to die so miserably, and he waited to land on the knife mountain. But he waited a long time and didn't hit the ground, he smelled the wine, and he felt that someone was splashing him with water.
Bai Yuxiao couldn't help but scold: "Your grandmother, do you know that water in the secret room is very precious?"
When he opened his eyes, he found Wen Shijie smiling at him.
Bai Yuxiao stood up and looked at his body, and found that there was no injury at all, but he felt pain all over his body.
Wen Shijie said with a smile: "When I saw you fall into that hole, I felt that it was too lonely for me to die alone in the main hall, so I jumped down to accompany you." Unexpectedly, the cave on the seventh stone step was the passage to another secret room. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Why did I fall and faint, but you are fine." ”
Wen Shijie smiled: "Thanks to the little brother underneath, I accidentally fell on you when I jumped down, fortunately, you have deep internal strength, so you are unharmed." ”
Bai Yuxiao couldn't help but scold a hundred words of your grandmother angrily in her heart, but she still smiled on her face: "It's okay, how long have I been dizzy?"
Wen Shijie said: "After you fainted, I checked this stone room and found that this is a treasure room, and there is a wine room nearby. Therefore I poured wine on you, and you could not wake up. ”
Only then did Bai Yuxiao find that he was full of wine and soaking wet. He glanced at the stone chamber and saw that the floor was full of gold and silver utensils, jewelry, each of which was enough to eat and drink for a year.
He went to the wine room and found a skeleton in a corner.
The two came to the skeleton, this skeleton is still very complete, Wen Shijie said: "This skeleton, the skeleton has not been dispersed, this person is only afraid that he will die for no more than five years." ”
Bai Yuxiao said happily: "In this way, he may be a tomb robber, then we can get out as long as we find the robbery hole." ”
Wen Shijie sighed and said, "I thought so at the time, but I searched for the two stone chambers, but unfortunately I didn't find any robbery holes. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "When we get to this secret room, we don't feel suffocated at all, which means that there is a ventilated place, and there will be an exit where there is a ventilated place." ”
Wen Shijie nodded and said, "That makes sense." ”
Bai Yuxiao looked at this corpse and frowned, "How did this person die?" ”
Wen Shijie said: "I have checked, there is a mark on the backbone of his back, it should be slashed from behind before his death." ”
Bai Yuxiao looked at his backbone, and sure enough, he saw a knife mark.
Bai Yuxiao saw a wooden board near his finger bones, which seemed to have words, and picked it up unconsciously. He opened the jar of wine again, and the wine was fragrant, Bai Yuxiao was not in the mood to drink, so he washed off the dust on the wooden board with wine.
I saw ten blood-red words written crookedly on the wooden board: I am Zhang Tianze, Ma Yanfei killed me.
These ten big characters can startle Bai Yuxiao, and Wen Shijie can't help but be shocked after reading it.
Before Bai Yuxiao came to Yunzhuang, he had heard Meng Yu say that Zhang Tianze had killed the snitch Ma Yanfei, why did this wooden board say that Ma Yanfei killed Zhang Tianze?
Wen Shijie couldn't help but sigh and said: "I wonder why Zhang Tianze, the chivalrous and courageous "jade-faced judge" five years ago, wants to take refuge in the Mongols now. It turned out that Zhang Tianze, who returned to Yunzhuang, was played by the snitch Ma Yanfei. ”
Bai Yuxiao said strangely: "How do you know?"
Wen Shijie said: "Five years ago, I had a relationship with Zhang Tianze, when he was on his right hand
Missing index finger. ”
Bai Yuxiao took a look, and sure enough, he found that the right finger bone of this skeleton was missing his index finger.
Wen Shijie said again: "At that time, he said that the index finger of his right hand was injured by chasing and killing the flower thief Jiang Boyong, and after he killed the flower thief Jiang Boyong at that time, he was ready to chase and kill the thief Ma Yanfei. Maybe when he found Ma Yanfei, he found that Ma Yanfei was stealing Cao Cao's suspicious tomb, so he followed him into the underground palace, but he didn't expect to be attacked by Ma Yanfei in the end and die in this dark underground palace Li. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "That is to say, Ma Yanfei later pretended to be Zhang Tianze and walked on the rivers and lakes, and he got the treasure of Cao Cao's doubtful tomb, so he had the financial resources to build this Guiyunzhuang." ”
Wen Shijie said: "Yes, the purpose of his building Guiyunzhuang here is also to be afraid that others will find out that this is an ancient tomb, after he built Guiyunzhuang, not only no one suspects that this is Cao Cao's suspicious tomb with treasures, but it is also very easy for him to get the treasure." ”
Bai Yuxiao nodded and said: "So it's true that Zhang Tianze left a word before he died, hoping that someone would know that he was killed by Ma Yanfei, but why did he leave these ten words before he died, could he have predicted that Ma Yanfei was going to pretend to be him?"
Wen Shijie said: "Five years ago, Zhang Tianze was alone, walking the rivers and lakes alone, acting chivalrous and righteous, but few people have seen his true face. But Zhang Tianze has a pair of stainless steel special judge pens, and friends on the rivers and lakes know that the person holding it is Zhang Tianze as soon as they see the pair of silver rod judge pens, so many people judge whether it is Zhang Tianze according to the judge pen. And a month ago, I came to persuade him to resist the Yuan Bao Song, and when I first saw Ma Yanfei in Guiyunzhuang, although it was strange that he had become shorter, but when I saw a pair of judge pens in his hand, I could only think that he was Zhang Tianze. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "In this way, before Zhang Tianze died, Ma Yanfei took away his judge's pen. Therefore, Zhang Tianze predicted that Ma Yanfei was going to pretend to be him, so he left a few words, hoping that a righteous person could expose him after reading it. ”
Wen Shijie said: "That's right. ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Why did Ma Yanfei leave this board?"
Wen Shijie thought for a while and said: "Maybe after Ma Yanfei successfully attacked him in the wine cellar, he knew that he would definitely die, so he didn't pay attention to him, because he didn't know that Zhang Tianze left a word." There is also a possibility that Ma Yanfei knew that Zhang Tianze left a word, but he thought that no one could come to this underground palace, so he didn't care. ”
Ma Yanfei must have spent a lot of money to build and return to Yunzhuang, and he must have gone to the underground palace to get treasures, so how could he not find that Zhang Tianze left a word, so Bai Yuxiao chose the last hypothesis.
Bai Yuxiao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said secretly in his heart: "Zhang Tianze wants to often go to the underground palace to get treasures, so isn't there a passage to Guiyunzhuang above." ”
Bai Yuxiao said: "Since Ma Yanfei can maintain such a large expenditure as Guiyunzhuang, he must often enter this underground palace to get treasures, so there must be a way to go out." ”
Wen Shijie was overjoyed and said, "That's right, but where will that passage be?"
