Chapter 242: A Familiar Scene
The more you go to the inner palace, the more corpses you encounter, and like the ones you encountered before, the corpses are still in a lifelike state, so in order to prevent the corpse cockroaches from coming out again, these six people all walked around the corpses, for fear that blowing a little closer would break the corpses.
According to the records of the Su family's caravan, Su Tong led the people to look in the direction of the treasury, and they did not encounter any danger again under the caution, and came to the so-called Loulan treasury, a gate was closed, and a lock was put on it, and several dead guards were next to it.
Wang Changsheng glanced at Su Tong again, there was no excitement or excitement on the face of this demon girl, Shen Qiu, Tan He and Wang Chang were the same, their performance was particularly bland, Wang Changsheng felt even more deeply, it seemed that only he and Emperor Zhou were quite pitiful, because the two of them didn't know what secrets were hidden in this Lou Lan.
It's all in front of the treasury, and you say that you don't get excited, and it is clear that you are not here for this purpose at all.
Emperor Zhou gently walked to the door of the treasury, stretched out his hand and pulled the lock twice, and made a crisp "dangchang" sound, he turned around and bared his teeth and said, "You won't fight later, will you?"
Master Shen Qiu said lightly: "Lady first, I don't care, the family is not bad for money." ”
Su Tong glanced at him and said, "The little girl will not take the favor of others, there are so many things in the treasury, not necessarily all of them will look at the same thing." ”
"Hehe......" Emperor Zhou smiled, holding the lock tightly with both hands, and suddenly pulled it down, and actually pulled the lock down.
Tan He's eyes narrowed beside the master, the other party's hand strength is really not small, this is the Loulan Ancient Palace underground, of course the lock has not been weathered, naturally it is impossible to break it as soon as it is pulled, this is obviously a master's style.
Emperor Zhou tore off the lock on the door, stretched out his hand and gently pushed it open, many people behind him stared at it with wide eyes, they didn't care much before, maybe because they were not bad for money, but now the door opened because of curiosity.
Loulan is the richest of the many countries in the Western Regions, so what is hidden in the treasury will definitely shock the world?
Emperor Zhou was the first to look in, and when he saw the treasury through the crack in the door, his shocked expression gradually appeared on his face, and then he kept his mouth open and did not move.
The people behind saw him in this state with a accustomed expression, this is the normal reaction of opening the treasury, otherwise wouldn't Loulan, who was known as the rich side on the Silk Road, be in vain?
Wang Changsheng, Su Tong and Shen Qiu walked over together, their eyes looked past Emperor Zhou, and the three of them were stunned for a moment.
The treasury was empty, no, no, no, it could not be said to be empty, the emptiness meant that it was not full of treasures as they had imagined, but it was full of heavily armed Loulan guards, who stood straight, with long swords straddling their waists, and in their hands were those ancient long-roded scythes, and then all of them had resolute faces and open eyes, as lifelike as the corpses they had seen before.
The soldiers were in a square formation, and at the front stood a middle-aged man with a long knife and armor, his gaze was coldly looking straight ahead, although the general and the soldier looked as if they were alive, but they all knew along the way that this might still be the kind of corpse with corpses buried in their bodies.
Emperor Zhou shrugged his shoulders, sighed and said, "The bamboo basket is empty, and there is no hair ......."
Shen Qiu also frowned and said: "It is said that the king of Loulan often plundered everywhere at the beginning, and all the belongings he saved were put into the treasury of Loulan, and Loulan was the richest among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and then the ancient city of Loulan disappeared overnight, where did such a large amount of treasures go?"
Su Tong was also very puzzled, after the caravan in the family came back, it was clearly recorded that when the king of Loulan led them to the treasury to choose gifts, he obviously saw that they were full of priceless treasures, and then the caravan came back and Loulan disappeared overnight after about a year or two, in such a short period of time, the king of Loulan could not spend it all even if he was a loser.
Su Tong said: "Something is wrong, there are no traces of the war in the Loulan Palace, which means that this has not been looted, and the things in the treasury have not been robbed, so the empty treasury is unreasonable." ”
Emperor Zhou said: "Then do you say that this King of Loulan is quite idle? There is nothing in the treasury, and a whole team of heavily armed soldiers came to guard it, not to mention, the gate is locked again, he hurts......
"No!" Wang Changsheng lowered his head stiffly, and said a little dryly: "It's not that the treasury is empty, it's that the things in the treasury are not placed here at all, but they were transferred away by King Loulan, and there is only one reason why he put a team of heavily armed soldiers here, that is, King Loulan is worried that after the palace sinks to the bottom of the desert, someone will come to look for the treasures in the treasury, and these people are used to prevent it." ”
Tan He interjected and said: "If he can prevent it for ten days and a half months, or even ten or eight years, can he still prevent it for more than a thousand years?" After so many years, I am afraid that these guards will die a long time ago." ”
"No, it's not dead...... Wang Changsheng looked at the square bricks under the treasury and the straight-built guards, and the scene when he went to the tomb of King Beji with Tang Kun and Liang Pingping suddenly appeared in his mind.
The guards in the tomb of King Begi are the same as those in the palace treasury, except that the former are stone statues and the latter look like they are alive, but they are indeed used for defensive purposes.
After the lines under the floor tiles of the treasury were extended, they converged at the feet of the guards in the middle of the treasury, forming a feng shui array, which Wang Changsheng recognized almost at a glance, and these lines were almost more than eighty percent similar to the one depicted in the tomb of King Beji.
In other words, these guards are probably going to live soon.
"Not dead, why not dead?" Shen Qiu asked puzzledly, except for Wang Changsheng, none of them had this experience, and they couldn't realize how the ancients, who had been separated by nearly two thousand years, could not have died.
Wang Changsheng said dryly: "It could have been dead, but when we opened the door of the treasury and so many people were standing outside, our anger was drawn out and gathered on those guards, they ...... Just lived."
"Huh" Everyone immediately looked confused, Wang Changsheng immediately stepped back, and said cautiously: "Go, hurry up, leave the treasury here, I hope we still have time to ......"
Wang Changsheng reacted, but he must have reacted a step too late, because he had just thought that the feng shui array in the treasury of the Loulan Palace would be similar to the tomb of King Beji, and as soon as the thoughts in his head came out, the vitality of their group must have been sucked out a lot.
Sure enough, as soon as Wang Changsheng's words fell, when a few people came back to their senses a little, they suddenly heard a few crisp sounds of "Gaba, Gaba" from the treasury, and then the general who was standing at the front of the guards moved, his body may have been a little stiff because he had not been active for a long time, and there was movement between his bones and joints as soon as he moved.
The next moment, the bodies of the soldiers in the first row behind the general also appeared in the same way, and the eyes of a total of four guards moved slightly.
"Stampede, trampled......"
In an instant, a general and four guards walked quickly towards the outside of the treasury with their weapons, at the same time, Wang Changsheng and they had already turned around and left, and they were almost running wildly, several of them felt that this nameless guard might not be their opponent, but they were afraid that if they really killed the other party, if a few more corpse cockroaches were drilled out of their bodies, it would be more troublesome.
But what I didn't expect was that the speed of those guards and generals was too fast, and almost at the moment when they rushed out of the treasury, the people rose into the air, and after crossing an afterimage, they fell directly behind them, and at the same time, the long knife in their hands slashed over.
Tan He obviously felt a strong wind coming from behind him, his left hand first pushed Shen Qiu's back, and pushed the person out with his strength, and then his right hand pulled Wang Chang's arm aside and pulled the person aside, and with two consecutive sharp strokes, he first sent his person out of the range of the long knife before he turned around, and without looking at it, his body deviated slightly, and he raised his leg and kicked towards the general's wrist.
Feeling that the crisis behind them was coming, Wang Changsheng and Emperor Zhou almost turned around one after another, protecting Su Tong behind him, and the two intercepted the four guards respectively.
Between the electric light and flint, the two sides fought each other.
"Bang!" Tan He kicked the other party's wrist and there was a muffled sound, he realized that his toes were almost like kicking a stone, he let out a "huh" in disbelief, but his subordinates did not stop, and quickly bullied up.
The general had a tense face, and the long knife in his hand was as fast as a shock, "Huh, Huh" surrounded Tan He in a few clicks, and when the two fought, it could almost be described as a sword and sword, and the movements were very fast.
On the other hand, Wang Changsheng and Emperor Zhou were a little more relaxed, and the long-rod sickle in the hands of these four guards was slightly inconvenient to use after close proximity.
Emperor Zhou wisely got close to the other party, clenched his hands into fists and hammered at the other party a few times, and then there was a "pop, pop" on the guard's armor With a few crisp sounds, he suddenly let go of his fist and grabbed the knife pole with one hand, then leaned forward, and reached out to grab the long sword pinned to the other party's waist, Emperor Zhou held the hilt of the sword and pulled it upwards at the same time, the long sword was suddenly grabbed by him in his hand, and a cold light flashed on the blade, obviously separated by nearly two thousand years or so, the sword body did not have any effect, and it seemed that the years were not reflected in the palace of Loulan at all.
