The severed neck can no longer be called a flesh and blood body. I don’t know how to deal with the thick wound. The skin and flesh are maintained at the moment when they were beheaded, but they are all glazed, and the pestle is on the mouth of the tripod. , like the clumsy work of a small glass workshop.The executioner who chopped off the neck didn't seem to be very agile at the time. The cervical vertebrae were split into several bone dregs, which were sunk into the bloody rolled flesh. misery.

When the lid was lifted, no one thought that this time it was not a side dish but a main meal. At first sight of such a 'fresh and hot' human corpse, they all backed away half a step in fright.But Lan Zui reacted instantly, ecstatically, and rushed to the side of the tripod again.

The condition of the corpse in the cauldron is quite different from that of the neck, which is much more normal in comparison.Clothes are still worn on the torso, but they are rotted into threads, and the original quality and style are completely invisible. The skin is tanned, and the muscle lines under the skin can be vaguely distinguished. It is a wet corpse.

The corpse stands inside the tripod in a standing posture.Of course, a dead man whose head has been cut off cannot stand in the air. A chain as thick as a thumb is worn on each shoulder of the corpse. The two ends of the chain are respectively connected to the inner wall of the tripod. An unnatural angle of 45 degrees stretched toward the tripod wall, and the parts below the elbows were immersed in the pitch-black liquid with a thick layer of grease. The wrist should also be fixed with a lock to form this posture.

Mengzheng also leaned back to the side of the cauldron after recollecting the taste, seeing the condition of the corpse clearly, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Although she kept saying that she had nothing to do with Xia Ruoqing, and she had borne a lot of blame for that woman for no reason, but when she really saw the corpse that was suspected of being in a previous life being wantonly destroyed, she still felt quite disturbed.

The turmoil in Bai Suhe's heart may not be much calmer than that of Mengzheng, his expression remained motionless, but his hands behind his back suddenly clenched into fists.She thought that after seeing He Lanfu's corpse and seeing Xia Ruoqing's corpse again, she would be able to remain motionless like a mountain, but she didn't expect that beautiful woman who lived in a city to fall into such a field, and her chest tightened inexplicably for a while, as if being killed by someone One punch smashed the bottom upside down.

Bai Suhe smiled wryly to herself, she praised herself as having a clear distinction, but finally found that the human brain can never win the hearts of the people.

Of course, Lan Zui would not have so many complex emotions clouding her judgment, the first thing she did when she approached Dading was to confirm the identity of the corpse.The standing posture of the corpse was convenient for her to observe carefully, but after scanning it from top to bottom, Lan Zui's brows frowned fiercely.

The strips of cloth hanging on the corpse were so rotten that they could not provide any covering effect. Lan Zui could clearly see that the skin and muscles of the corpse's torso had shrunk severely. Although the chest was slightly bulged, it was not as soft as a woman should be. And the radian is very different.Although Lan Zui hadn't seen Xia Ruoqing's naked clothes, judging from Xia Ruoqing's usual clothes in the dream, her breasts were a bit too flat, a bit like the atrophy of male pectoral muscles.But if it is a male corpse, the belly of the corpse protrudes slightly, as if there is an unformed fetus hidden inside.

"Was Xia Ruoqing pregnant when she died?" Lan Zui couldn't make up her mind, so she had to ask the person concerned.

Meng Zheng's expression sank slightly, he hesitated for a while, and gave a soft 'hmm'.

"Emperor Nanzhao didn't know at the time?" This question had nothing to do with confirming his identity, Lan Zui was just purely curious.

The most important heir of the royal family, Emperor Nanzhao would directly kill Xia Ruoqing when she was pregnant and died?

Meng Zheng raised his eyelids and glanced at Lan Zui, and said coldly, "I know, so what."

Meng Zheng was only short of writing the word 'shut up' in capital letters on his face, Lan Zui could not be so ignorant of current affairs, and immediately shut up obediently.

He Lanfu was already dead at that time, Bai Suhe was obviously ignorant of this matter, when he heard the question and answer between the two, his expression was hazy, as if he couldn't explain clearly.

"It's because Emperor Nanzhao had frequent visits to stabilize the Xia Clan's remnant party." Mengzheng let out a light breath, and he didn't know who he wanted to explain this explanation to.

Neither of the two big living men responded.

Knowing that Xia Ruoqing was pregnant, Lan Zui was even more confused. Is the corpse in the tripod a man or a woman, and is it Xia Ruoqing?

The remaining neck of the corpse is almost close to the shoulders, and it is impossible to verify whether there is an Adam's apple.Lan Zui dipped a rake into the black water and hooked the corpse's legs. The corpse shook, causing the black oily water to ripple in circles, but the legs were not hooked up. Obviously, the corpse's two feet were also caught. The chain is fixed at the bottom of the tripod.

Lan Zui was very depressed, and walked back and forth a few steps while rubbing his chin.No matter how daring she is, she will not be able to reach into the corpse fluid without any grudges to touch things, and the black water in this tank is not only the smell of corpses, but also a strong pungent smell, which is definitely not an ordinary tank. Corpse fluid is so simple.Saha taught people to be good at Gu, and if they are good at Gu, they are good at poison. When it was not confirmed whether the corpse belonged to Xia Ruoqing, and whether the corpse really had the Junyihuang ring, Lan Zui felt that it was too wrong to send his life here.

The ancient casting utensils are all solid. With the weight of this tripod, ten people may not be able to knock it down. The way of pouring liquid is not feasible.Then you can only find a container to scoop out the corpse fluid, but the shape of this tripod is disgusting. The shoulders of the corpse and the two chains take up seven or eight of the space in the mouth of the tripod. The larger container can't fit at all. It takes a little In what year and month will such a large vat be scooped up?

Lan Zui also thought about breaking the chain and pushing the corpse down, leaving room for scooping water.But after checking it just now, she found that the two unattractive chains were actually made of black iron. Unless they used an electric hacksaw, they couldn't do it with their current equipment.The two ends of the chain are not in a hole inside the cauldron, and there is a keyhole as thick as a little finger on the hole. If the mechanism is not bad, Lan Zui can find a way to dismantle it, but that is the most common door lock hole, and Lan Zui learned the opposite way. Fighting to break the various organs of the tomb, but he has never learned the trick of stealing chickens and dogs, so he can only stare at the keyhole.

Counting with fingers like this, there is really no other way but the last one.

"Is there a machete?" Lan Zui hadn't moved yet, Mengzheng opened his mouth suddenly, and his thoughts coincided with hers.

Lan Zui was surprised for a moment: "Aren't you afraid it's really Xia Ruoqing?"

Meng Zheng's expression was calm: "Okay, let's go."

Lan Zui: "..."

Standing behind the two cross-eyed parrots, Bai Suhe felt exhausted physically and mentally, and finally understood the feeling of Rong's sandwich biscuits in Junyihuang's tomb.

Lan Zui's plan was that since she couldn't untie the chain, she would use a knife to remove the corpse's shoulders and push the torso into the water. Anyway, what she needed was nothing more than what was in the corpse's hands.

Although it is said that according to the rules, it is not allowed to desecrate the corpse of the dead, Lan Zui tried to abide by it before, but if there is a choice between the ancestral rules and Jun Yihuang, Lan Zui would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

No machetes, only daggers.

The edge of the dagger cut into the bone seam of the shoulder joint, and it could only be cut down little by little in a sawing posture.The tanned flesh looks like over-dried old bacon, dry and astringent, and the ligaments are full of toughness, which is a solid tendon belt.Lan Zui's own dagger was broken, followed by Bai Suhe's, and Meng Zheng held his own, one on the left and one on the right, silently dismembering the unlucky corpse in the tripod.

Bai Suhe was scraping off the rust of the remaining three tripods, and every time she turned her head and saw this scene, she felt an indescribably weird feeling.

Whether it is cutting meat or leather, the blade will cut faster when it works in the same place.However, there is a layer of corpse oil on the skin and flesh of the corpse, which is extremely slippery, and the blade will fly away with a little force.After all, Lan Zui only had one eye left, and his vision would be shifted when looking for a small cutting edge under the dim light, and his movements were still a little slower than Meng Zheng's.Lan Zuizheng was sweating profusely when he heard Mengzheng say: "It's done."

Lan Zui was a little bit unconvinced, he still had to work hard, and then he heard Meng Zheng say "Hey", his back tightened, and Meng Zheng pulled him away from the corpse.

"What are you doing!" Meng Zheng moved without warning, Lan Zui's knife slipped and almost pierced into his palm, and he became angry immediately.

"There's something in the corpse." Mengzheng didn't pay attention to Lan Zui's anger, and his eyes still stopped at the corpse, with a confused and dignified expression.

"What's the matter?" Meng Zheng's expression didn't look fake and bluffing, Lan Zui couldn't help but calm down, and turned to look.

The corpse was still standing upright, and the shoulders on both sides had been half-removed by the two violent elements, half-collapsed forward in an uncomfortable posture, motionless.

"There is something wrapped around the bones of this corpse." Mengzheng pointed to the first three tripods, "That kind of white silk."

Lan Zui was stunned, although she said that her eyesight was not very good, at least when cutting the meat she made sure that there was no white thread in the muscle layer, nor in the cauldron, which meant that it must not have penetrated from the skin and wrapped around the bone.

If not from the outside, then only from the inside.

Reminiscent of the slightly protruding abdomen of the corpse, the indistinguishable gender, and the special wound treatment on the broken neck, Lan Zui suddenly felt that the object of their hard work seemed to be mistaken. This corpse should not belong to Xia Ruoqing. I'm afraid it's not a baby in the belly.

It's just that the eggs in the first three tripods are so big, compared to the one in the corpse, it's too small.

However, no one seems to say that these things must all grow to the same size, and people can be tall, short, fat, and thin, so we can't just ask people to grow into the same mold and print them out.

In two or three seconds, a lot of messy thoughts had already turned in Lan Zui's mind.If the belly of the corpse really contained that kind of egg-like thing, then the corpse was nothing more than a hatching container or a provider of nutrition.As for why there were no corpses in the first three cauldrons, maybe something happened before the corpses could be put into the City of Longevity, or they had already been put in, but even the belt and bones were swallowed clean by that thing, so they Did not see.

Could it be that the Dan Ding mentioned in that letter was used as this kind of container?If so, would Xia Ruoqing's body have been swallowed?

And what the hell is this egg?It seems that the aggressiveness is not too strong, and the movements are slow.This alchemy room should be the most important thing in the City of Longevity. What's the use of the Saha Sect's painstaking efforts to raise them in such a secret place?

Lan Zui thought hard, but she found many fragments, but she couldn't find a thread to tie them together, which caused the fragments to be fragmented, making her heart agitated.

When Lan Zuimu was staring at the corpse in a daze, concentrating on the cause and effect, he saw that the shoulders of the corpse with most of its head removed slightly shrugged, and its forward-collapsed posture was slightly propped up backwards.
