Chapter 36: Ancient Corpses

When they approached the house, this house was very different from the houses they had seen before, the houses in front were made of stones, but this house had blue brick walls and tile roofs, and the style was very similar to the ancient Chinese architecture.

Directly in front of the house are carved two lion statues, the mighty male lion is slightly gentle, and there is a large door behind the lion, the door is inlaid with rows of copper ingots, and in the middle are carved two dragon heads, and two copper rings hang from the dragon's mouth.

Dr. Lu sighed: "It is really a great project to bring the culture of the Central Plains to the underground. ”

"There's no one living in here, is there?" Sha Dutian said, meaning that if there is no one, the treasures inside will belong to him.

How can a house that has been sealed underground for thousands of years live in people, if there are really people living there, it is estimated that it is either a thousand-year-old demon or a zombie monster. Zhao Ruozhi looked at the house in front of him with some fear and said, "It's impossible to live here, there are still people." His voice was a little small, confused and a little scared.

"What are you afraid of, just open it and see if you know." Shen Zhutian said proudly, he didn't seem to care about what was in it at all, in his heart, the president's purpose was the most important.

Dr. Lu said: "According to common sense, there can't be anyone here, after all, thousands of years have passed. In fact, he was not sure in his heart, after all, the ruins of the Snake Country were full of strangeness, and whether there were any unclean things in them, it was really not necessarily.

Yunhai motioned for Qi Lenghan to go and check it out, and Zhao Ruozhi said worriedly: "Be careful of what mechanism is on the door." Qi Lenghan nodded and stepped forward.

The gate was all black, Qi Lenghan carefully stretched out his rifle and pressed the muzzle against the gate, he looked at the edge of the gate, there didn't seem to be any mechanism, even then he didn't dare to make it bigger, his hand was a little harder, and the force was transmitted to the gate through the gun.

"Squeak." The door opened, Qi Lenghan remained vigilant, he didn't expect to open the door so easily, he felt a little unreasonable, he immediately picked up his rifle, ready to shoot at any time,

The door opened a crack, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief for fear that something would rush out of it, but nothing happened.

After a few minutes, the door was still as quiet as ever, Qi Lenghan took a deep breath, stretched out his left hand, and pressed it on the door, "squeak", the door was half opened, the door was dark inside, and a strange smell came to his nose.

Qi Lenghan frowned slightly, wondering if these smells would be weird, and after a few seconds, nothing happened, and he motioned for everyone to come over.

After everyone walked into the door, there were two rows of pillars in the house, each of them surrounded by a person, there were twelve in total, the pillars were on top of the roof, the roof was flat, and the structure of the outside looked very different, the decoration in the house was very simple, and there were not even any murals.

At the end of the house there is a spiraling staircase, all made of wood. I thought that such a big house must be where the snake king lived, but who would have thought that it would be an empty house.

"Hey, you see, there's writing on the pillar." Zhao Ruozhi said in surprise. He found that the pillar was engraved with a seal script.

Everyone's attention was attracted, and Zhao Ruozhi read: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." Although the seal scripts are all in traditional characters, from the approximate point of view, he can still see a few words, and he guesses that it is a sentence in the Book of Poetry.

"What's that? Could it be that the people here still learn the Book of Poetry? Sha Dutian said.

"Look at it, it seems that every pillar has words carved on it." Dr. Lu said in front of another pillar.

I saw the inscription on the pillar in front of Dr. Lu: "There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang." ”

The twelve pillars are engraved with love verses in the Book of Songs, which makes everyone is the second monk puzzled, and the strange snake country actually has famous sayings of the Book of Poetry, and they are all love quotes.

Lu Shuiyi was a little intoxicated by these sentences, and she said with a confused look in her eyes: "Is there also a beautiful love story here?" Lu Shuiyi has never been in love, she can't understand love, but for love stories, she likes it very much, in her heart, all men in the world are womanizers, only in those ancient love stories, is the true love, therefore, when she saw the poems on the pillar, she inevitably began to think about it.

Seeing that there was no information here, Yun Hai kept staring at the stairs in front of him, maybe what he was looking for was upstairs.

Lu Shuiyi stayed in front of the pillar and was reluctant to leave, Yunhai and the others walked to the stairs, Zhao Ruozhi was helpless, and stayed to accompany Lu Shuiyi, in his heart, although Lu Shuiyi was fierce on the outside, he was still innocent on the inside.

Lu Shui asked meaningfully: "Do you believe that there is really love in this world, just like the love stories in these poems." ”

Zhao Ruozhi replied: "Maybe it's a lot." ”

A thick layer of dust fell on the wooden board, Qi Lenghan stepped on the stairs with one foot, and tried the bearing capacity of the wooden board, after thousands of years, the wooden board was as strong as ever, and he stepped on the other foot, except for a little elastic sound, there was nothing abnormal.

Qi Lenghan walked up step by step, and everyone was sweating in their hands, for fear that Qi Lenghan would fall down.

There are about 20 steps of stairs, Qi Lenghan soon reached the second floor of the house, he poked his head out and saw a person sitting in front of him, no matter how careful he was, he was also surprised at this time, there was a person sitting in the dark room, it was really bizarre.

I saw that the man was dressed in gold and silver, sitting motionless on a small bed, sitting upright, his eyes were open, and he had a lifelike expression. Qi Lenghan shone a flashlight at the man and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The people below heard Qi Lenghan's voice, and their hearts were shocked, could it be that there are really people living here? Shen Zhutian stepped up the stairs and walked quickly upstairs.

The man sitting didn't answer, Qi Lenghan was about to step forward to take a look, Shen Zhutian walked up, and when he saw the scene in front of him, Shen Zhutian was also slightly surprised.

Shen Zhutian whispered: "Second brother, he won't be a dead man." Only then did Qi Lenghan realize that the person sitting there might be a dead man.

Immediately afterwards, Yun Hai, Dr. Lu, Sha Dutian and others also went upstairs, and Sha Dutian came up and shouted, "Damn, I cheated the corpse." Then he saw the jewel on the man seated, and his eyes instantly showed greed.

The space upstairs is not very large, except for a bed and a table, there is nothing else, Dr. Lu said in surprise: "You see, he has a wooden expression, his skin is lifeless, he has been dead for a long time, if he is the snake king, he should have been dead for a thousand years, but the person in front of him seems to have just died, it is really strange." ”

Yunhai stared at the man and said, "Leng Han, go and take a look." He was very clear, to see if there was anything to be found in the dead man.

Before Qi Lenghan could take a step, Sha Dutian couldn't wait to run forward. Yun Hai's eyes changed, and he suddenly became murderous, he thought that Sha Dutian really didn't know what to do.

Sha Dutian stretched out his hand to take the jewelry on the dead body, he was not afraid of anything, how could he care about these details if he was careless, if it was Qi Lenghan, he must have taken it carefully.

Qi looked at Sha Dutian coldly and dishappily, and Yun Hai said behind him: "Forget it, it's not here." There was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Sha Dutian happily put away the jewelry, he looked down at the small bed to see if he could find anything more, his eyes lit up and said, "Come and see, there are words here." ”

Those fonts are the same as the fonts on the pillars below, Dr. Lu stared at those words, he said happily: "It seems that these words were written by him, which means that he found a barbaric people, snake-headed people, and ate a lot of nearby villagers, so he came alone to want to influence the snake king here, the snake king let him stay in the snake country in order to torture him, and then the two actually fell in love, the snake king longed for the love story in the Book of Poetry, and even wanted to become a real person, so she opened the ice palace and took out the black box, I don't know what was released, causing the entire snake country to cease to exist, everyone disappeared, and at this time the snake king became a beautiful woman, but she lost consciousness, as if she had become a living dead, before his consciousness disappeared, he froze the snake king in the ice palace, and used ancient methods to keep the corpse from rotting, and always guarded her side. ”

Sha Dutian said: "What kind of ancient recipe, obviously I just want to monopolize the jewelry." ”

Yun Hai was originally very disappointed, but he didn't expect to finally find a clue, his eyes lit up and asked, "It seems that the black box must be in the Ice Palace, Dr. Lu, is there any mention of where the Ice Palace is?" ”

Dr. Lu shook his head and said, "I didn't say where it was, but since he said that he wanted to guard the Snake King, it means that the Ice Palace is near here." ”

Suddenly, the corpse stretched out his hands and grabbed Sha Dutian's arm, "Damn, it's really a corpse." He was about to kick the dead body, but he didn't expect the dead body to smile at Shadutianyin.

It was so evil that the corpse moved on its own, and Sha Dutian had goosebumps on his arm. Immediately afterwards, the corpse's mouth suddenly opened, revealing a face, so frightened that Sha Dutian kicked on the corpse, he clenched his strength, how could the corpse withstand his strength, "Bang!" The body slammed into the wall.

The corpse rolled on the ground and did not move, and then, a snake came out of his mouth, the snake's sinister face was exposed to hideousness, Qi Lenghan took an arrow step, the cold light flashed, the snake was in a different place in an instant, most of its body remained in the corpse, and the corpse on the ground actually shook.

Yunhai suddenly said: "It's not good, this may be a trap, let's quickly quit." ”

Blood kept pouring out of the corpse's mouth, and the appearance of the strange snake made the surroundings even more strange. Sha Dutian remembered that Zhao Ruozhi was still below, and secretly screamed badly, at this moment, he heard Zhao Ruozhi shouting loudly below: "Old Sha, come down quickly, snake..."
