Zhu Qingyang suddenly thought of something and reminded: "The Yin soldiers are not the key, these insects are the root cause. I said before that those things similar to hanging coffins are more like raising Gu."

It seems that these are just raising these poisonous insects!

These poisonous insects drill into the bodies of the Yin soldiers and drive them to move.

The reason why their movements are not flexible is probably because some of their joints are controlled.

But as to why these ghost soldiers can form a military formation, perhaps it has something to do with these red ropes!

Therefore, there is no need to panic. It is not that these mercenaries have really been resurrected, but that these poisonous insects are cooperating with the mechanism to control the actions of the terracotta warriors!

After hearing Zhu Qingyang's reminder, others soon noticed that whenever these ghost soldiers formed a formation to attack or defend, the red rope would always loosen or tighten.

Bai Hua said, "There are mechanisms on it, and the red rope is the key to activate them!"

Zhu Yingying nodded immediately and said, "That's right. The ghost soldiers driven by the poisonous insects should only have the most basic joint movement ability. And these red ropes can drive them to form a formation and kill all intruders. In this way, these poisonous insects can re-enter the flesh and blood of the killed and reproduce again!"

After reaching this conclusion, everyone finally understood the underlying principle and were no longer clueless and helpless.

Since the poisonous insects are the key, we just need to drive them away.

In an instant, Bai Hua cut his palm with a knife, and the blade was instantly stained red with blood.

Immediately afterwards, an intense burning sensation spread from his body, as if his blood was boiling.

Professor Zhang and others looked at Bai Hua in astonishment. They were instantly sweating profusely due to the high temperature radiating from his body and could not help but step back.

At this moment, it seemed that the person standing here was no longer a person, but an angry beast with blazing flames.

"The precious blood opens the way, all evils retreat!" With Bai Hua's cold shout, he pointed forward suddenly!

The next moment, everyone saw that the burning blood actually forced countless poisonous insects to crawl out of the bodies of the ghost soldiers, and they panicked and climbed upwards along the ropes.

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Zhu Yingying had already seized the opportunity to take out the Zhongji Ruler and immediately transformed it into the Xuanji Fan.

She shook her wrist and several silver needles flew out. They were so sharp that they cut the red rope in an instant.

All the poisonous insects fell down with a crackling sound, but they were afraid of Bai Hua's precious blood, so they did not dare to move forward and could only surge in place like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, two more talismans appeared in Zhu Qingyang's hands. They were yellow in color with bright red lines painted on them, and three large characters could be clearly seen: Burning Heaven Talisman!

"Hurry up as a law!"

As Zhu Qingyang chanted a spell, the Burning Heaven Talisman Paper in his hand was thrown out like two fire dragons, instantly forming a sea of ​​fire in the air.

Crackling! All the fallen insects were burned to ashes before they even had time to struggle.

The tacit coordination of their actions instantly stunned Professor Zhang and others.

These unique skills and movements were beyond the scope of their cognition, leaving them stunned in place, with the light of fire reflecting in their astonished eyes.

Although they had been shocked many times along the way, they were still amazed every time they saw this unique skill that only existed in folk tales.

And if this stunt were put into a new era decades later, it would probably be even more shocking.

Because the film and television dramas at that time were enough to show these scenes.

But when the images in the illusion are reflected in reality, the shock is beyond words.

There is such a person in the world!

At this moment, without the control of the poisonous insects and the red rope, all the ghost soldiers stood still, still maintaining the formation just now. The tip of the halberd closest to them was even about to pierce Xu Hao's forehead.

Xu Hao looked at the motionless ghost soldiers in front of him in horror, leaning against the wall, not daring to move.

However, Han Feng did not relax at all at this time.

He suddenly said faintly: "Everyone, don't take it lightly. Those armor pieces scattered on the ground when you first came in...maybe something is alive!"

Hearing this, everyone felt as if they were listening to a ghost story. Their hair stood on end and they looked at Han Feng in astonishment.

But he was looking at the other side of the tomb with a strange look.

Everyone instinctively followed his gaze, but were horrified the next second!

Because they clearly saw a series of clear footprints on the ground not far away...

The surroundings were as quiet as death. After a long silence, a sound of people sucking in cold air broke the silence.

"What's going on with these footprints?" Everyone finally came to their senses, their eyes filled with horror.

Their attention was attracted by these inexplicable footprints. After careful observation, they found that the footprints extended directly to an unknown tomb passage.

Zhu Qingyang walked closer first, measured the size of the footprint with his fingers, then ran to the feet of the ghost soldier for comparison, and finally looked up at Han Feng and nodded slightly.

It goes without saying that these footprints are completely consistent with those of the ghost soldiers and are most likely left by the ghost soldiers!

However, the strange thing is that based on previous experience of fighting against the Yin soldiers, these Yin soldiers are controlled by poisonous insects and driven by a red line connected to the top mechanism.

Although they are able to move and form military formations, any other joint movements are the result of the insect's actions.

Moreover, from just now until now, there has been no change in the military formation that would affect here, so no footprints should be left here.

At the same time, Professor Zhang and others also conducted a detailed study in front of the scattered broken armor, but the results made them more and more confused. The armor was obviously broken and scattered under a huge external force, and the force was so great that it even left a finger-mark-shaped damage on the armor.

However, this place is the imperial tomb, how could such a thing happen?

Combining this strange footprint, Xu Hao said carelessly: "This is really a ghost. Could it be that a corpse from more than 2,000 years ago has come back to life?"

After saying this, Xu Hao suddenly felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

The rest of the archaeological team also noticed something and immediately looked at the 788 Exploration Team.

Han Feng and the others looked at each other solemnly, frowning, and then nodded gently. It seemed that they had a silent conversation just now.

"Is this really happening?"

"This should be the biggest possibility at the moment..."

"If this is true, the nature of the situation is different..."

The conversation between the several people was meaningful and full of worry. The members of the archaeological team were confused.

Ah Jing frowned in confusion and asked, "What are you... talking about? What happened?"

In response to Ajing's question, everyone was silent for a moment.

But when he saw that the rest of the archaeological team was also full of doubts, Han Feng finally sighed and said, "I'm afraid that a corpse has occurred in this imperial tomb..."

"Corpse?" Professor Zhang and others repeated these two words in astonishment. After all, it sounded too ethereal.

Then, Professor Zhang shook his head firmly: "This is impossible. Although there are often records of corpse transformation in the historical materials of China, the so-called corpse transformation refers to the resurrection of a dead body due to some external factors, turning it into a walking corpse without humanity, that is, a zombie... But I have been in this business for many years, and there has never been any confirmation of such a thing!"

Although Professor Zhang was greatly shocked by the strength of the 788 Exploration Team, he always treated their words with an exploratory attitude.

But after all, he felt that this matter was too close to his profession.

If there really is such a thing as corpse transformation, how could I, and even the entire archaeological community, who have been doing archaeology for most of my life, have never heard of it?

However, Professor Zhang's questions did not receive any response.

Because at this time Han Feng and others were discussing something with serious expressions.

Zhu Qingyang looked at the others and said, "During the training not long ago, the commander mentioned zombies. How come we are encountering them now?"

Wen Wenbin said in astonishment: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything? Even now, I still don't quite understand what the leader taught me during the training..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingyang immediately waved his hand: "Don't interrupt, let's talk about business!"

Zhu Yingying also looked at Han Feng and asked, "Captain, my grandfather once told me that he encountered Zongzi when he went to the tomb. And the commander has also trained on this, so it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Han Feng thought for a moment and then said, "If it was just a corpse transformation, I wouldn't be so worried if I was dealing with ordinary zongzi. After all, zongzi are just zombies without intelligence, no different from wild beasts, and there is nothing to be afraid of! But could this be related to the damage to the dragon vein? If so, this corpse transformation might be unusual! After all, it is impossible for zongzi to endanger the dragon vein!"

Several people understood what Han Feng meant. During the training, Zhao Qi had even divided the corpse transformation into eighteen types.

For example, the corpse drivers in the Xiangxi area use ancient methods to induce corpses to transform into the most harmless flesh corpses, so that the corpses can obey the corpse driver's command and cross mountains and rivers.

Another example is a leather corpse, which is a corpse without internal organs. After it decays, it will grow black hair and will never rot.

There are eighteen types of corpses, and there are also eighteen factors that cause them to turn into corpses.

But these don't seem to affect the dragon veins, because what are dragon veins?

It is an existence that absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and is nurtured between heaven and earth!

Not to mention the water dragon veins here, which are even superior dragon veins and much larger than the potential dragon veins in Hong Kong!

So let alone a few zongzi, even if a group of zongzi came, they would not harm the dragon vein here.

That's why Han Feng felt confused and even a little worried. The fact that a dragon vein was almost dead was a serious matter, but it also involved corpse transformation in this place. Could there really be any connection between the two?

After much deliberation, the 788 Exploration Team was unable to come to an accurate conclusion.

After all, we have only grasped some clues now, which is not enough to answer this question.

Looking at the direction where the footprints continued to disappear, Han Feng finally made a decision: "Let's go, there seem to be many secrets hidden here. Perhaps to get the answers, we have to go deeper..."

The rest of the team members nodded, almost completely ignoring the archaeological team, and followed Han Feng inside.

The archaeological team and others saw this and were very confused: "Why are they suddenly... so serious?"

Xu Hao touched his head and asked with a confused look on his face. He never expected that a casual remark of his would actually touch upon the hidden concerns of the 788 Exploration Team.

Zhang Xiaoxian also frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Is it true that a corpse can be resurrected from the dead?"

Professor Zhang pushed his glasses and stared at the backs of several people, but remained silent.

If it were in the past, he would definitely be the first to stand up and oppose such remarks that go against scientific theory, and would never allow it to echo in his ears.

But now, the one who said this was the 788 Exploration Team, which made Professor Zhang himself feel a little confused.

His attitude at this time was not a resolute resistance, but rather curiosity about why they came to such a conclusion.

Even in his heart, Professor Zhang kept asking himself, is this true?

Even he himself couldn't explain why there was such a change.

Perhaps, it is because this team itself is full of things that go against scientific theory...

Therefore, the attitude of Professor Zhang and others is not so much disbelief as it is disbelief.

Soon, Professor Zhang waved his hand and decided to explore further: "Let's go, let's take a closer look..."

Looking at Professor Zhang who was the first to catch up, Xu Hao muttered quietly: "What's wrong with this Old Wu? Before, when I talked about ghosts and gods, he always argued with me righteously and insisted that I change my opinion. Now that I mentioned the corpse transformation, he didn't react at all?"

Zhang Xiaoxian glanced at Han Feng, said, "Whether it is true or not, it is hard to say..." and followed him.

The others left in silence, leaving Xu Hao standing there in a daze.

I don’t know when it started, but this archaeological team has undergone tremendous changes.

Why are these members of the archaeological team, who once firmly believed in science and rejected feudal superstition, now beginning to waver one by one?

As for Xu Hao, he has never been a qualified member of the archaeological team and he came here just to join in the fun.

Therefore, he knew a lot about folk stories and weird legends, and from the very beginning he had a different stance from the archaeological team members.

That is why this change is so obvious in them.

Soon, everyone else had gone far away, and Xu Hao realized that he was alone here.

He inadvertently glanced at the motionless ghost soldier beside him, and the darkness around him made him feel a little scared.

He shrank his neck and hurried to follow.

The footprints disappeared at the entrance of the tomb passage, and Han Feng led everyone into the tomb passage...

What happened just now is still lingering in everyone's mind and cannot be shaken off for a long time.

Therefore, the atmosphere in this team has become somewhat heavy...
