All four of us took out our weapons and walked vigilantly up the floor, but just as we were about to go up the stairs, something happened in the direction of the doorway. The sand pit we had dug suddenly collapsed, and the sand flowed in through the tower gate, and in a few seconds the tower gate was blocked by the sand.

The loop was sealed, so we had to go up to the wooden staircase on the second floor, which was obviously old, and the ladder kept creaking as we walked on it. As if it would collapse at any moment, the tiger walked at the bottom.

When he stepped on the wooden ladder, we couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for him. The tonnage of this cargo is really worrying about stepping on such an unsturdy wooden ladder.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Huzi was the last to reach the second layer safely. Under the light of the flashlight, a statue in the center of the second floor, which was completely black and two meters tall, was placed majestically on the spot, with a hideous face and a wide open mouth, as if it wanted to eat the attacker.

With a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he guards this ancient tower like a guardian god. Most of the guardian gods in the ancient gods were dressed as monsters with strange faces, hideous faces, fangs and claws.

After looking around the stone statue, everyone didn't find anything unusual, but the strange thing was that when they were downstairs, they heard a sound upstairs. This ancient city is full of evil spirits inside and out, and we can't study some things that don't conform to common sense, in short, we are safe for now.

"Look at the strange appearance of this statue, the filth of the real girl, and dare to put it in it." Huzi looked at the statue and pointed at his feet.

"Huzi, you don't understand, you may not have noticed, such a fierce statue is used as a god statue for guarding and guarding. For example, some gods such as Yaksha, Shura, and others are the guardian gods of hell, and their faces are enough to scare away some imps and mountain demons. Li Zhen explained to Huzi.

When Li Zhen said this, I was a little confused. Generally speaking, these statues of the gods will appear outside the temple gate and the royal city gate. However, after the death of some wealthy people, in order to avoid being harassed in the place of eternal rest, they will also place such a statue in the direction of the door of their tomb.

One is for the purpose of warding off evil spirits, and the other is to scare away some mountain rats, wild foxes, and other beasts that inadvertently enter. If these beasts enter the tomb, they will eat the corpse of the tomb owner.

The strange thing is that this is not a gate, and the other is not a tomb, and I really don't understand the meaning of building such a statue here.

When everyone looked at the statue in front of them, there was an undoubted squint, and I suddenly saw that the eyes of the black-faced idol seemed to blink suddenly, and suddenly the hair exploded like an electric shock, and the head exploded.

"This! This! This! There is something strange about the statue. "I pointed to the face of the idol, and I couldn't even speak.

"What are you talking about? If this thing grows eight holes, it won't become a monster anymore. "Huzi didn't even hear what I was saying.

"I just saw the idol blink." I said nervously.

", don't you look good at these eyes?" Huzi pointed to the eyes of the idol and said.

Am I dazzled, I saw the idol's eyes twinkle just now? Can ...... now Hey, I may not have had a good rest recently, and I may have hallucinated again. "Forget it, maybe I'm dazzled."

There are some jumbled characters engraved on the back of the statue, and I can't understand any of them. Li Zhen took the flashlight and studied it carefully, and Pei helped Li Zhen make records. This place is evil, and in the consideration of safety, Huzi and I will pay attention to every move around us and respond to emergencies at any time.

"Yang Xiuyuan, what kind of guardian do you think this is? It's so big, if it's small, we won't sell it for 18,000 yuan. "It seems that Huzi is crazy about money.

"I forgot what to guard, but I know that if this thing can be done, let alone 1,800, it will be fun to sell it for 10,000."

When Huzi heard me say this, he hurriedly said, "You hurry up and find a way, we have to get this out, it's enough for us to be chic for a while." ”

This thing is about two tons, and there is no crane that can be moved by manpower alone. Besides, even if you get out, this deadly journey in the desert is impossible.

Huzi and I looked at the statue and talked nonsense without saying a word, and suddenly the eyes of the idol flashed again. This time it wasn't just me, even Huzi saw it clearly.

The scene in front of him frightened Huzi, panicked him, raised his gun and shot at the head of the idol. After the bullet hit the idol in the head, there was nothing abnormal, and the eyes returned to normal.

Li Zhen and Pei were startled by the gunshot, and asked in unison, "What's wrong!" ”

"Just now the Buddha statue winked at the two of us, and it scared people to death." Huzi held a gun to the head of the idol, and his hand kept trembling.

When Li Zhen heard Huzi say this, he was obviously nervous, "No...... It's impossible, it's just a stone sculpture, how can it blink. ”

He looked at the face of the statue and said, "The stone statue is carved behind it, and this statue is called, Tomb Keeper." He is a guardian deity under the tent of the King of Hell Yama, and is a hellish deity who specializes in guarding the tomb and protecting the tomb owner. ”

Weird! How could the statue of the Tomb Keeper Statue appearing in this place who guards the tomb? I was puzzled, and just as I was puzzled, this time all four of us clearly saw that the idol's eyes blinked again.

The accuracy of Pei's throwing knife is comparable to that of a pistol, "Whoosh! A flying knife hit the idol in the eye, and the idol let out a strange scream.

All of us were almost in a nervous breakdown at this point, and this statue was actually alive. Huzi was so frightened that he was about to run to the first floor of the stairs, but as soon as he stepped on the first step of the wooden ladder, the whole ladder collapsed.

Fortunately, the reaction was quick, otherwise I would have fallen. If you fall at such a high height, if you don't lose your life, it's at least a fracture.

Li Zhen, who was panicked, grabbed my back clothes tightly, trembling slightly. Pei was still so calm and calm, holding the flying knife and staring at the idol behind him, and suddenly the eyes of the idol emitted a faint blue light, accompanied by a commotion of "squeak".

From the eyes of the idol, swarms of strange insects with six small legs the size of a corpse maggot surged out, crawling downward. The body of the monster insect is translucent, and the body emits a faint blue light, and it looks very strange, I have never seen such a monster.

"Be careful! This is a corpse maggot cup, and it will be burned if you touch it. Pei recognized this insect at a glance.

I suddenly remembered that Master had once told me that the Corpse Maggot Cup was one of the Miao Family's Gu techniques in the Western Regions. It is said that when this technique is applied to an animal's carcass, a type of corpse maggot is produced in the process of decomposing.

And this kind of corpse maggot is in a state of suspended animation as soon as it is formed, and it can remain immortal for thousands of years. As soon as the breath of living beings interferes, they will immediately wake up, crawling out of the corpses in droves and attacking all living things.

Their attack methods are also quite bizarre, and when they hit their target, their bellies will automatically explode. From the belly came a pale blue liquid, which was extremely corrosive, an adult elephant. If you are surrounded by this herd of corpse maggots, the elephant will not be able to find even a bone within a minute.
