Chapter 238: Tomb of the Living Dead

The ancient palace of Loulan was empty, nearly two thousand years had passed, and it was naturally impossible for anyone to be seen again, but after the three of them came in from the stone gate, they couldn't help but hold their breath, and then a trace of tension spread.

The buildings in the palace are basically intact, after all, it has not been desertified and weathered, and it is still in its original state.

Wang Changsheng stretched out his hand and rubbed a wall, it was still very strong, not even a bit of the wall skin fell off, they should be walking in the square in front of the palace now, which is probably equivalent to the Taihemen Square of the Forbidden City.

The ground is paved with green bricks, walking on the top of the sole friction also emitted a "tap" movement, the floor tiles are arranged in an orderly manner, the lines are straight, the edges are the corners, the process is quite perfect.

On both sides of the square are rows of buildings that are probably similar to the wings, Emperor Zhou and Wang Changsheng walked towards both sides, the wings are quite empty, there are only some tables, chairs and benches, and there are finely made tea bowls on the table, Wang Changsheng reached out and picked up a bowl after entering the wing, and found that there was still a little stain at the bottom of the bowl, obviously there was tea before and then dried up.

The floor of the wing room was all ash, and after Wang Changsheng walked out of it, he left a long series of footprints on the ground, and Emperor Zhou came back and shook his head at him, saying, "It's empty, nothing." ”

Wang Changsheng said "um" and said to Su Tong: "Fight quickly, go directly to the treasure house of the palace, and then come out as soon as possible." ”

Su Tong frowned and said, "Do you think there may be any crisis here?"

Wang Changsheng shook his head and said: "You ask me if there is a crisis, I definitely don't know, but I know that an ancient palace from two thousand years ago is best not to be easily investigated, and you don't know what kind of arrangement this place will have, after all, you have said that the King of Loulan is very talented, I really don't believe that his palace will be useless...... Even if there is not a single living person here. ”

Su Tong thought about it, and felt that what he said was quite appropriate, so he said: "The caravan in our family has been to Loulan several times, and they have presented gifts from Middle Earth, and the king of Loulan has led the ancestors of the Su family to their treasure house in order to show his friendliness and atmosphere, so that people can admire his collection, and he has also given us some, and the family has recorded that the Loulan treasury is in the east of the palace, and it used to be a heavily guarded ......."

"Okay, hurry up!"

The three of them walked through the square, all the way quickly towards the buildings on the east side of the palace, after passing the square, the buildings inside were a little denser, Su Tong and Wang Changsheng walked quickly in the direction of the treasury, and Emperor Zhou was a little behind.

When passing by a building, Emperor Zhou craned his neck and glanced inside, and suddenly a creepy feeling made his scalp numb.

"Goo" Emperor Zhou swallowed his saliva and paused at his feet.

Su Tong and Wang Changsheng, who were walking in front, heard no footsteps behind them, so they turned around and saw Emperor Zhou standing there in a daze, Su Tong was just about to speak, Wang Changsheng pulled her arm, and then the two turned around again.

Emperor Zhou looked in the direction of a side hall, the area is quite large, and it is also empty, only two rows of chairs are placed on both sides, but unlike the empty building before, there are actually people in this side hall, and they are still living people, but these people are completely crooked on the chairs or lying on the ground, looking at it as if they are asleep, the reason why it gives people such an illusion is because from their distance, these people's hair, facial features and clothing are clear.

These people are all obviously the appearance characteristics of the people of the Western Regions, which are probably equivalent to the races in Central Asia or West Asia now, and they are a bit similar to the ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang in our country.

Emperor Zhou's scalp was numb and said, "What the hell is this, what the hell, is it alive?"

", obviously dead"

"Then why do they look like they are alive, big brother, I'm not blind, you see that their skin is blown and broken. ”

If it weren't for being in the ancient palace of Loulan two thousand years ago, Wang Changsheng would definitely think that they were asleep when they saw these people, but those people in the side hall were all lifelike, and what Emperor Zhou said was not an exaggeration.

"Stepping on ......"

The three of them walked forward tentatively, the closer they got to see the more real they became, these Loulan people's faces were as usual, the capillary blood pores on the skin were clearly visible, Wang Changsheng "squeaked" and pushed open the door of the side hall, stepped over the threshold and came inside, squatting in front of the person closest to him.

This man "slept" very sweetly, his head was still resting on his arm, his lips were a little torn and even had a few tooth marks.

Although there are thousands of books in the Kunlun Temple, he has never seen similar records in these classics, because you normally say that when people die, there must be signs, although there are also people who die in their sleep, but it is impossible to be all of them, and the corpses of these people are so intact that they are the same as those who are alive, which is completely unreasonable.

The three of them squatted next to the corpse and looked at each other for a long time, looking at each other, and Emperor Zhou said in amazement: "I really don't know in what state these Loulan people died, but they can maintain this appearance, it's really amazing."

Wang Changsheng turned back to Su Tong and asked, "From their clothes, can you see what kind of identity they are?"

These people who fell in the side hall were generally dressed well, but the silk and satin could not be reached, but it could be seen that the clothes were very neat and the colors were relatively gorgeous, judging by the hierarchy at that time, the identity of these Loulan people should be good, but because the costumes were different, it was definitely not the guards in the palace or the maids and eunuchs who wore them.

"These are the clothes of rich and noble families, they are definitely not civilians, they should be businessmen, and the status and role of merchants in Loulan are probably in the middle and lower reaches."

Wang Changsheng said suspiciously, "Then what are these merchants doing in the palace?"

Emperor Zhou grinned: "You ask us, where can we know, you have to ask these Loulan people, let's study this now, it's better to know how people die, after all, we can also take precautions, in case there is any danger in the palace?"

Wang Changsheng suppressed a thought that had just popped up in his head, and then turned around and reached out to turn over the corpse, because this person's body was lying on his side, he wanted to turn it around to find out the cause of death, Wang Changsheng's hands just turned the other person's body around, and suddenly this person's body was immediately shattered.

Yes, shattered!

Starting from the surface of the corpse, the skin shattered into pieces, as if the ice had suddenly collapsed, and in an instant it was divided into several parts, but there was no damage to the corpse's clothing.

The next moment, Wang Changsheng, Su Tong and Emperor Zhou all looked at the shattered corpse with a blank expression, and a black beetle poured out of it in an instant.
