Going back 50 years, in an era of chaos and a dozen children in every family, tomb robbing became the only shortcut for adult men in the family to support their families. In the back mountain of Xiakou Village at the west gate, two Tufuzi were running wildly in the dark corridor, and one of the men was holding a delicate doll in his hand.

"Big brother, let's put him back," one of the men said with a trembling glance back.

"Humph!" The dark-skinned man snorted coldly, "Put it back?" What will you do to save your sister-in-law's life if you put it back? What do you want your baby to go to school? ”

The man was silent, wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and continued to run forward. "Second child, do you know what this doll is?" The boss said as he ran, "This is one of the treasures presented to Japan when it came to the Tang Dynasty to meet him. ”

He shook the doll in his hand, it was a forty-centimeter-sized ceramic doll, wearing a small kimono, the porcelain doll's face was smeared with bright blush, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

"Then, boss, how much do you think this thing can sell for!" The second said breathlessly.

"This, at least ten gold bars." The Boss gestured backwards. "Knock, knock, knock," the second child's face didn't have time to show a happy look, and suddenly a heavy voice came from behind the corridor, which didn't sound like the sound of walking step by step, but like the sound of two legs jumping together.

"Big, big brother, what's the sound", the second child was a little panicked.

"What's the panic, isn't this going to the exit right away, and when we get out, even if it's that thing, what threat can it pose to us?" The boss chuckled in his heart and said fiercely, his mind thinking of the kind of thing that the old people had said before.

More than ten meters ahead, the two of them can already see the sky outside the road, facing the boss is tonight's bright full moon, for some reason, the boss suddenly feels that there is a strange face on the moon tonight smiling at him.

"Ahh Eldest brother! Suddenly, a miserable scream came from behind him, and the boss was shocked, and rushed forward, not daring to look back, "Second child, when I go out, I will definitely treat your family well, especially your young baby." ”

Behind him, the second child stood there stunned, looking at the back of the boss leaving, a dry arm pierced his heart, "Goo Dong, Goo Dong", his heart beat vigorously in that hand.

"Three meters, two meters, one meter", the boss was a little ecstatic, "one more step to go out, hahahaha, uh". Suddenly, he lowered his head in disbelief and covered his neck, only to see the porcelain doll he had caught under his armpit grinning and smiling strangely at him.

"Plop", the boss rolled to the ground, and the porcelain doll withdrew her bloodstained hand, grinning, and the corners of her mouth hooked her ears.

That boss is Li Chen's grandfather.

。。。。。。。

"Boss, I'm here to pick up customers", Li Chen's antique shop, there is a special guest today, to say that there are not a few people who come to the antique shop every day to buy and sell antiques, but it is the first time he has seen a child to sell.

"You? What to sell? Li Chen asked suspiciously.

"This", a teenage boy took out a forty-centimeter-high porcelain doll from his back, it can be clearly seen that this is a template design based on traditional Japanese clothing, the porcelain doll has a ruddy complexion, a cute look, and a small kimono on his body, outlining a smile at the corner of his mouth, Li Chen saw it at first glance, he knew that this was a very old thing.

"You're selling alone? What about your parents? Li Chen didn't dare to take it over easily, he hadn't heard of a bear child stealing antiques from his own house and selling them to the Internet, he couldn't afford such a responsibility, especially such an old thing.

"Parents? I don't know how many years since I died", the bear child sneered.

"Then I can't accept your things", Li Chen felt that the child was a little strange, and quickly shook his head and pushed the porcelain doll back.

"You have to take it if you want to, you have to take it if you don't want to, anyway, when the things are in your hands, you have to pay the corresponding price", the bear child suddenly said fiercely, "Just pay with your life!" ”

"Wow!" Li Chen shivered violently, touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, gasped and said, "It turned out to be a dream." He turned his head to look out the door, and suddenly he didn't move, and he saw a porcelain doll smiling at him on the counter, wasn't that the porcelain doll that the bear kid said he was going to sell him?

Li Chen felt chills all over his body, it was not that he had never heard of supernatural events, but when this kind of incident came to his head, he couldn't stand it.

Tonight, Li Chen closed the door early, and he found a few familiar Tufuzi to learn about the porcelain doll.

"Lao Li, what's the matter with calling me over so late?" On the second floor of the antique store, a man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks asked.

"Yes, we're going to go around a Warring States tomb that we just discovered two days ago." Another, stockier man spoke.

The others didn't speak, just looked at him faintly.

Li Chen smiled: "Of course there's something, I invited a few brothers to come over today, I want you to help me identify something." ”

"What's that?" A man said.

Li Chen made a boo gesture and took out the porcelain doll from behind.

"Isn't this just a doll, what is there to identify, a doll in the Tang Dynasty, the market price starts at one million", the man with the sharp beak and monkey cheeks glanced at it and said confidently.

Li Chen shook his head: "It's not this. "Nonsense, of course he didn't want to hear that, he just wanted to know what the boy meant.

"This is", the other two men glanced at each other, and each saw a look of horror in the other's eyes.

"Da Mao, Er Mao, what's wrong, you two have seen this thing?" Li Chen felt the emotional changes between the two and spoke.

The man named Da Mao said with an ugly face: "To be honest, I really know this thing, it's just。。。。。。 ”

"It's just what", Li Chen asked with some curiosity.

"Alas, let's talk about it", Ermao continued, "This thing is actually called a blessing doll, in ancient times, it was a gift from Japan to the royal family when it came to China to meet the court, and the name was used to pray for blessings, but no one knows the actual purpose, but the people who got these dolls at that time were 。。。。。。 ”

"What's wrong?" Li Chen was a little anxious, "Don't sell it, what's wrong?" ”

"Dead, all dead", Ermao said lightly, "Although this kind of doll is nominally called a blessing doll, in fact, everyone who knows him is called a death ticket." ”

"Death, death ticket?" Li Chen's face was a little ugly.

"Yes, everyone who got him died inexplicably, but since the fifties and sixties of the last century, such dolls, which have disappeared for hundreds of years, have suddenly reappeared, and, as far as I know, this doll of yours should be the second".

"The second, what about the first?"

Da Mao glanced at him: "The first one is your grandfather." ”

Da Mao Ermao is gone, everyone is gone, and they all sympathize with Li Chen's experience, but that's all. Li Chen, who was left behind, was still thinking about the sentence "It's your grandfather." ”

In Li Chen's impression, there is no memory of his grandfather, and even his father's memory only exists before he was three years old, since his grandmother said that after his grandfather went to the tomb fifty years ago, he never came back, and his father disappeared mysteriously when he was three years old.

Da Mao walked on the road, remembering the smiling face of the porcelain doll in his mind, he actually didn't tell Li Chen a sentence, that porcelain doll was actually a ticket, a ticket to the hell trial, there was an ancient book in his home that recorded that during the Warring States Period, there was a group of weird dolls, and those who owned the dolls were able to enter a terrifying trial, and those who survived the trial would get great benefits.

He looked at Ermao who was walking in front, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, a sharp dagger appeared in his hand, he walked forward quickly, "poof, ah, woo woo", Ermao's mouth was covered, he turned his head, his eyes were full of incredulity, Ermao couldn't understand why the eldest brother who shared the bed with him last night would attack him.

"There is only one qualification for the trial, Ermao, not only you, Li Chen is also going to die, walk slowly on Huangquan Road, I will let Li Chen go to your funeral."

Li Chen frowned, looked at the porcelain doll in front of him, and suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness. "When, when", the midnight hand turned to half past two in the morning, at this time there was no bell, but at this moment it suddenly rang strangely. Li Chen was already asleep, and the porcelain doll on the table suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his smiling mouth became bigger and bigger, and a sentence popped out of his mouth: "The trial has begun, and the trial has begun." ”

Da Mao pinched the time, and waited until more than two o'clock, he counted that Li Chen had fallen asleep, so he carefully touched the upstairs, as soon as he went upstairs, he saw the sleeping Li Chen and the porcelain doll on the table, and he was overjoyed, when he was about to catch the porcelain doll, he suddenly felt dizzy in front of him, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Li Chen's consciousness left his body, and he felt his head swell, as if he had been stuffed with a lot of things, "Hell trial? Extreme horror experience? What the hell is this? You can get rewards by passing the trial, but if you can't pass the trial, you'll die in the trial, Nani? Don't", Li Chen finally knew the role of porcelain dolls, to be honest, he was actually a little excited in his heart, perhaps inheriting the genes of his father and his grandfather, and had a soft spot for this kind of adventure.

"Earlier, I thought I would die at the hands of the porcelain doll tonight, after a long time, it turned out that he was just a ticket", Li Chen muttered in his heart, "Could it be that this is the place of trial?" He looked up and saw that it was obviously a new environment, the gray sky, the whistling wind mixed with yellow sand grains, which hurt his face, and a ruined palace in the yellow sand not far away, which was the only thing Li Chen could see.

"Li Chen!" Suddenly, an angry shout came from behind him, and he turned to look: "Hey, Da Mao, why are you here." ”

"You, you, you," Da Mao pointed at Li Chen with a helpless face, couldn't say a word for a long time, half a sound, he put down his fingers, and said to Li Chen with a lost face: "You know." ”

Li Chen sneered: "Of course I know, I didn't expect there to be this kind of secret, it seems that if it weren't for the trial, I'm afraid I would have died under your knife!" ”

Da Mao said fiercely: "It's not because of you, Lao Tzu could have prepared to enter the trial safely, but you 。。。。。。 ”

Li Chen glanced at him, didn't quarrel with him, and walked straight to the palace.

The palace is a ruined ruins, but it is not difficult to see its luxury from its appearance. "This, in ancient times, should have been a palace where the emperor lived," Li Chen muttered.

"Hmph", Da Mao snorted coldly from the side, bumped into Li Chen, and walked straight towards the palace.

"Who is coming", suddenly there was a hearty shout, and I saw a soldier covered in armor in the palace come out, but under the armor was Sensen's white bones, "Who is coming?" The soldier asked again, raising his spear to the two men.

"Don't, don't, big brother, we're here to see the emperor", Li Chen hurriedly explained, and at the same time scolded the reckless Da Mao in his heart I don't know how many times.

"The emperor hasn't been to the court yet, and if you want to see him, go to the side room and take it, and I'll notify you when the emperor goes to court." The soldier pointed his spear at a small palace next to him, said coldly, and then turned and walked towards the palace.

"Let's go," Li Chen pushed Da Mao and said angrily, "Just like you, you still compete with me for the qualification of the trial?" ”

Da Mao was furious in his heart, he just didn't react and was put on top of his head with a spear, besides, who wouldn't tell a lie.

"Humph!" Da Mao shook his arm and walked straight towards the side hall.

"Soldiers? The soldiers in armor have been dead for I don't know how many years", Li Chen thought to himself, "I wonder how many similar soldiers there will be here?" ”

Pushing open the door of the side hall, an old musty smell came, Li Chen frowned, and waved his hand to disperse a cloud of dust. He found a table that was not completely rotten and sat on it, and asked Da Mao, "Hey, what else do you know?" ”

Da Mao raised his head and said viciously, "What else do I know?" I knew we were going to die! ”

Li Chen shook his head, with Da Mao's mentality, playing a villain in a TV series generally doesn't survive the second episode. Ignoring him, Li Chen began to think about what kind of trial would this time be, allowing himself to assassinate the emperor? No, not to mention that after so many years, the emperor is already a dead man, not to mention that there are such unknown armored soldiers here, and he can't assassinate himself if he wants to, and a spear can pierce three or four of them.

Li Chen couldn't figure out what he was going to do, but fortunately he didn't think about it, closed his eyes and quietly waited for the emperor's call.

Outside the antique store, the sky is getting brighter, and the place where Ermao was killed was suddenly shrouded in a puff of black smoke, and after a while, the black smoke dissipated, and what dissipated was Ermao's long dried corpse, as well as the blood flowing on the ground, everything seemed to have happened, but everything happened.

"On the early court, the prime minister was announced, and the general was visited." Suddenly, a harsh voice came to their ears, which was the voice of a eunuch in a movie.

The two glanced at each other, Li Chen took the lead and walked out, there were only two of them alive here, naturally it was impossible to summon others.

"Hmph", Da Mao snorted coldly, although he was not sure, but he just kept up.

Came to the gate of the palace again, this time Li Chen stepped into the palace with confidence, the armored soldier from the last time really did not appear, as the two entered, a green oil lamp appeared in the dark palace, illuminating a path in the palace.

Li Chen saw at a glance that there was a man sitting on the throne in front of him, with a ruddy face, a wide figure, and a mighty armor, which made Li Chen feel that something was wrong. Sure enough, after the two walked in, Li Chen found that where was the ruddy face, it was clearly the flesh and blood exposed after the skin of the face was scratched off, and it was still oozing blood, the mighty armor was good, but there was only a huge skeleton under the armor.

Standing next to him were two skeletons like the soldiers the two had seen before, and a man in a eunuch uniform with his head bowed, and one of the two had just spoken.

"Prime Minister, General, I don't know why the two of you came to disturb me while I was resting?" The emperor above had blood dripping from his face, looked at the two of them and said gloomily, "General, you speak first." ”。

"I 。。。。。。" Da Mao's hair suddenly exploded, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Why didn't the general speak, didn't he come to my dormitory for recreation?" The Ghost Emperor glared at Da Mao, and there was murder in his eyes.

"Minister, minister, minister, minister begging the emperor to give him a marriage", just as Li Chen was about to open his mouth to help him break the siege, Da Mao suddenly stammered.

"Poof", hearing this, Li Chen almost laughed, what kind of reason is this, was Da Mao's brain kicked by a donkey?

"Oh, ask for a marriage?" After hearing this, the Ghost Emperor was immediately overjoyed, and Li Chen suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

"Aiqing, it's rare that you have fought on the battlefield for me for a long time, but I forgot to give you a reward", the ghost emperor didn't even call the general this time, waved his hand, and said: "Since Aiqing is interested, I naturally can't live up to Aiqing's heart, let's say, Aiqing, which princess do you like?" I have promised her to you. ”

"Ahh Da Mao didn't expect the ghost emperor to let him choose a princess, how could he know which princess there was. Da Mao was dumbfounded and didn't speak for a long time.

"Say it quickly, Aiqing, I still have to rest", the ghost emperor was a little angry.

"Your Majesty, general, he is concerned about the princess of the Dayue clan", seeing that the ghost emperor was angry, Li Chen hurriedly spoke.

"Princess Otsuki?" The Ghost Emperor spoke: "Yes, yes, it turns out that Aiqing is good at this, I, yes." ”

"Princess Otsuki?" Da Mao was a little dumbfounded, as a tomb robber who had been in the ancient tomb for a long time, of course he knew who Princess Da Yue was, could it be here?

That's right, when Li Chen waved his hand to the Ghost Emperor, he keenly saw a strangely shaped seal on the table in front of him, maybe anyone else might not recognize what it was, but Li Chen recognized it at a glance as the imperial seal of the ancient country of Loulan in history, coupled with the environment of the Huangsha Flying House outside, Li Chen confidently said the name Princess Dayue.

"I just don't know if the emperor in front of me is the emperor of the Dayue clan or the emperor of the ancient kingdom of Loulan?" Li Chen pondered.

Just when Li Chen was thinking, the ghost emperor had already ordered the soldiers to bring a woman with a light body, and from a distance, even Li Chen couldn't help but praise it No wonder history said that Loulan was a domestic beauty. It was only when the woman walked in that Li Chen saw clearly where this was a beauty, and it was a terrible ghost at all. The palm-sized face, I don't know what was cut a pit five or six centimeters in diameter, and the black blood flowed down from the face and dripped on the ground, exuding a fishy smell.

"Your Majesty", Princess Dayue came to the Ghost Emperor and stretched out her hand to salute. This time, Li Chen clearly saw a clear strangulation mark on the female ghost's wrist.

"Excuse me," the Ghost Emperor waved his hand, "The general asked me for a marriage, and I gave you to him, do you have any opinions?" ”

The ghost princess raised her head and glanced at Da Mao: "Obey Your Majesty's words." After saying that, the ghost princess floated to Da Mao's side lightly, staring at Da Mao with a face flowing black blood.

At this time, Da Mao didn't dare to speak, he lowered his head, and resented why he said such nonsense as asking for marriage, and even resented why the emperor didn't ask Li Chen first.

"Prime Minister, the general's problem has been solved, now it's your turn," the Ghost Emperor began.

The Ghost Emperor stared at Li Chen with two blood-soaked glasses, Li Chen was a little hairy, what should he say? State affairs? The people of Limin? National war? Suddenly, a light flashed in Li Chen's mind, Li Min, this is Loulan Kingdom.

He said confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister came this time for the overwhelming yellow sand outside, the minister knows that the perennial sandstorm covers Loulan, not only destroying the fields and water sources of Loulan, but also destroying the health of the people of Li. ”

The Ghost Emperor was stunned for a moment, half loud, he didn't know what he thought, he slapped his thigh suddenly, black and smelly blood oozed from his eyes, and laughed: "Okay, good, Aiqing is worthy of being my sibling, she has thought about it so thoughtfully, I am right." ”

Li Chen let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that his guess was not wrong, "Since this is the case, the minister asks to retire and go back to think about the way to control the sandstorm", after thinking about it, Li Chen said speculatively.

The Ghost Emperor was now happy, and waved his big hand: "Go." ”

Da Mao also wanted to leave with Li Chen, but she didn't want to be pulled by the Da Yue clan, Da Yue's face suddenly showed countless cracks, some of which were even deep in the flesh, she had a weird smile on her face, and said to Da Mao: "Don Ma, since Your Majesty has agreed, then you don't have to go home, just live in the palace." ”

It's okay that she didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, the blood in the cracks on her face began to leak out, instantly soaking her into a blood ghost

。

"Ahh , Where did Da Mao want to be with her, he screamed and ran his legs outside, Da Yue's clan suddenly became angry, grabbed Da Mao's shoulders, and didn't care that the long nails had been pierced into his flesh, dragging him towards the inside of the palace, the ghost emperor didn't do anything about it, but the little eunuch shook his head.

Li Chen walked outside the palace and casually threw the ceramics of a female figure to the ground, and several cracks directly fell out of the face of the ceramics.
