Suddenly, someone said that something had been pierced, and he pulled out his rifle with a bayonet, and it turned out to be a strangely shaped creature—at first glance it looked like a three-year-old child, with jet-black eyes, elephant-like ears, and slender arms like monkeys.

The crowd was speechless with astonishment, only to realize that it was a living creature, slowly wriggling on the spear, but no blood flowed out.

Xiao Mu shouted, "Don't move!" ”

The soldier with the rifle was already frightened and his legs weakened. Just as he was about to fall, the monster had jumped off the bayonet, climbed on his head, and bit down. In an instant, blood flew everywhere, and almost half of the head was gone. Everyone had blood and brains on their faces, and they looked at the monster and ate the soldiers' brains with relish.

The battalion commander's face was pale, but there was no ambiguity in his hands, after all, he had killed countless people, and throwing his hand was a shot to blow up the monster.

But more monsters emerge from the water, and all behind them. Xiaomu shouted, "Hurry up and run forward!" ”

A few soldiers who were running slowly, or who had stiffened their limbs with fright, were entangled by the monster. They bite straight open their chests and dig out the internal organs of living people. Suddenly there was a scream in the tomb, and the other soldiers ran forward and put their guns behind, even if they killed their own people, it was better than their companions dying tragically at the hands of monsters. Xiao Mu really saw that the two parts of the human body that these water monsters love to eat the most: the liver and the brain.

I don't know how long I ran, only to find that the stagnant water is gone. It used to be the lowest point of the tomb just now, but now the terrain has gone up again, and it has naturally become dry. The battalion commander was shocked, and counted the number of survivors, almost half of them were left, and the rest were dismantled by the water monsters.

"It's a reckless elephant!" Xiao Mu's face turned pale, squatting on the ground and panting, "It's the first time I've seen it, and it's all legendary in the Tufuzi line before." This is a water monster that specializes in lurking beneath mausoleums and loves to eat the livers and brains of the dead. If you meet a living person, you will not be polite! ”

"So how can you restrain them?"

"It is said to be a pine and cypress. You see that the cemetery will be planted with cypress trees, this is the reason. The mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang at the foot of Lishan Mountain next door is also full of pines and cypresses. ”

"And the White Deer Plain is full of farmland and wilderness, and there is hardly a pine or cypress tree, so there is a nest of water monsters."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment and added: "There is another thing, which is also specialized in restraining elephants, that is, the tomb beast." ”

"Tomb Beast?" The battalion commander scratched his head and reloaded the pistol, "Those stones at the gate of the grave?" ”

"No, that's the Weng Zhong of the Shinto Monument, the stone man and the stone horse, they are just used to decorate and show off their majesty. The real tomb beast is only in the underground palace of the mausoleum. But I've never seen it—it is said that none of the tomb robbers who have seen the tomb beast with their own eyes have come out alive. ”

"You say—will there be a tomb beast in this tomb?"

"It's hard to say."

Xiao Mu shook his head and continued walking into the graveyard. After a catastrophe, everyone's courage was propped up. The road in front of you becomes open and flat, and the murals become more and more vivid.

The King Kong wall and the tomb door arrived.

A pair of deer are carved on the door of the burial chamber.

This is something that Kogi has never seen before. Usually the door of the tomb is carved with samurai, bodhisattvas, beasts of prey, and even carvings, but no one has ever carved a deer. Could it be related to this white deer? The pair of deer in front of me are different, with rather exaggerated antlers, almost piercing auspicious clouds.

The battalion commander urged beside him: "Don't rub it off! Hurry up and open the door! ”

Everyone was gearing up, and Xiao Mu took out a special tool and inserted it along the gap in the tomb door. The tool is like a fork and a wire ferrule that moves the top door stone away. This is something that only a veteran tomb robber can do, Xiaomu tossed for more than half an hour, sweating profusely, which made the tomb door loose.

Cautiously pushing the door open, a large stone fell overhead. Fortunately, Xiao Mu was prepared and dodged in time, otherwise he would have been stoned to death. A puff of black smoke rose from the dungeon, and the soldiers put on gas masks. Looking at each other, they all looked like demons and monsters.

The battalion commander made a joke: "Don't get to the end, it's not the corpse that scares people, it's the people wearing gas masks who scare the ghosts to death." ”

As usual, Xiaomu was at the forefront, using the candle flame to explore the path and make sure that there was enough oxygen. This underground palace is long and narrow, and both sides are covered with Tang Dynasty murals. There seems to be a complicated plot, but it's too late to look at it in detail. The only thing he remembered was that there was a woman dressed in the emperor's clothes in the mural, and the painting was disproportionately tall, and it was estimated that it was the empress Wu Zetian.

There are many pottery urns in the underground palace, stuffed with decayed ancient books. The Tang Dynasty had just invented engraving printing, which should not have been popularized, and the books were all hand-copied scrolls. There are also many paintings and calligraphy, I don't know if there are any authentic works of Wang Xizhi? Most of the soldiers were illiterate and felt that the torn paper was worthless.

Xiao Mu saw a pair of stone Go, black and white made of two colors of jade. There was also a pair of wooden chess, complete with carts and horses, just like now. Strangely, there is a strange endgame on this chessboard, which seems to have reached the most critical moment, as if there were two ghosts playing against each other just now. It so happened that the battalion commander could play chess, and he shone a horse lantern on the chessboard and said: "Is this red side going to be checkmated?" ”

One of the soldiers shouted, "Look what these things are?" ”

In another pottery urn, there are rattles, tumblers, small stoves, hexagonal windmills, small flower baskets, small fences, bells, gossip plates, bamboo snakes, masks, kites, small bamboo chairs, clappers, long-handled mallets, and spinning top balls......

"Hey! It's all toys from our childhood! ”

The soldiers turned their heads to each other: "Look at these little dolls." ”

It turned out to be a large number of Tang Sancai's child figurines, Xiao Mu judged from this - the owner of the tomb is a child, at most a teenager,

Suddenly, a scream rang out, and several gunshots rang out in succession. Suddenly, the bullets rained sideways, and the little wooden soul flew away, and hurriedly jumped into the urn to hide.

In the depths of the dungeon, a crystal clear fireball flew out. From a distance, it looks like a burning glass, spinning and crashing into the intruder, instantly igniting the person. The flame seemed to be extremely hot, and in less than two or three seconds, and without the help of the bellows, it had burned the flesh and skin of the human body, leaving clear and distinguishable white bones, and then burned into charcoal, leaving only a piece of ash on the ground. The fireball flew up and down, as if it had been precisely controlled, and it took several turns to burn the soldiers in turn, and the screams of one after another only flickered.

The battalion commander shot aimlessly into the darkness and turned to flee towards the entrance of the dungeon, but the fireball had pierced his back and the fireball flew out of his chest. He took off his gas mask and found that he had burned a large hole in his chest, which was bright from front to back, and his heart, lungs, and spine were all gone. The battalion commander seemed to be alive, his head hung upside down, and he looked back through his chest in horror, only to see a tomb beast walking in the dungeon behind him.

From a distance, it looks like a fierce dog, with a golden light all over its body, and it looks like a young buffalo. The four thick legs stepped on the bluestone floor tiles, but they didn't make any sound, as if they were floating in the air. Several lanterns were scattered in the dungeon, gradually illuminating a pair of horns above the monster's head. It's not a simple horn, but several branches like branches, more like antlers. An indescribable monster's face emerges underneath.

This was the last thing in the battalion commander's eyes, the last thing he saw in his life, and then he fell to the ground and died.

The only living person in the dungeon is Tufuzi Xiaomu hiding in the urn. He poked his head out slightly, and saw the monster's whole body from the side—
