No one in the crowd squeaked, just looked at Wu Zhiyuan coldly and silently, under the dim light, these figures were clearly outlined and motionless, and they didn't seem to hear Wu Zhiyuan's words at all.

In an instant, a strange chill came up from the bottom of Wu Zhiyuan's heart, and when he saw these wooden figures in the tomb, a word flashed in his mind: "Zombie!" ”

Wu Zhiyuan drove away the corpse, and he also knew how to chase away the corpse charm, but suddenly there were so many zombies standing in front of him, and he really didn't react for a while. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps forward, and approached the figures.

When he got closer, Wu Zhiyuan realized that the shadows of these standing humanoid silhouettes were not zombies, but a group of wooden figurines, and the surface of the wooden figurines was painted with bright colors, making the image more vivid and realistic. These wooden figurines have distinct eyebrows, but their expressions are the same, their expressions are wooden, and their eyes are leveled ahead. The wooden figurines, both male and female, old and young, of varying heights, seem to be carved according to the size of a living person.

Wu Zhiyuan has heard of the Qin figurines, it is said that in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang buried thousands of earthen burial figurines, there are soldiers, generals, slaves and servants, chariots, horses and weapons are readily available, it can be said that Qin Shi Huang copied a qiē in his mausoleum during his lifetime.

The dozen or so wooden figurines in front of him are obviously also used for burial, but compared to the number of Qin figurines in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, it is very cold, it is expected to be caused by the different status of the emperor, Yingzheng is the overlord of the unification of the six countries, and this Xianwu Emperor Murong De is a local emperor who divides Shandong, and its pomp is naturally not the same.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the wooden figurines one by one, counted them, and there were twelve wooden figurines in total, and there was nothing else in this tomb, let alone a tomb door or other organs. This burial chamber is supposed to be a wooden figurine burial room, so the space is not large, and the placement of twelve wooden figurines is even more cramped.

Wu Zhiyuan turned around the tomb a few times, but never found the exit of the tomb, he looked up at the thief hole in the middle of the stone wall, and thought to himself, must he have to go back to the previous tomb from this hole? If you can't find an exit from this tomb, you'll have to turn back.

When he was at a loss, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon, although these wooden figurines stood in a row, not all of them were facing in front of him. The wooden figurine in the center looks straight forward, and the wooden figurines on both sides are slightly sideways towards the wooden figurine in the middle, and its gaze is in the same direction as the wooden figurine in the middle.

In other words, all the figurines seem to have their eyes on the same spot!

"Where are they looking?" Wu Zhiyuan muttered to himself in confusion, he walked to the wooden figurine in the middle and stood still, assuming that he was the wooden figurine, looking forward with the eyes of the wooden figurine, and found that his gaze happened to fall on the stone wall opposite.

It's just a flat stone wall, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual, above the stone wall is the thief hole he climbed out of before, Wu Zhiyuan really can't imagine what is strange about this stone wall.

"Are they looking at the thief hole above?" A thought suddenly flashed through Wu Zhiyuan's mind, and he turned his head suspiciously to look at the wooden figurines behind him, this wooden figurine was almost the same height as him, it was the image of a middle-aged man, the man had a beard in front of his nose, and he didn't look like a person from the Central Plains.

Wu Zhiyuan took a closer look at this wooden figurine, and felt that if he stood in the position of the wooden figurine and looked at the robbery hole, the head of the wooden figurine should be slightly raised, and the eyes should be turned upwards to appear more natural.

Wu Zhiyuan was even more puzzled in his heart, if these wooden figurines were just looking directly in front of them, instead of looking at the same position, there would be nothing suspicious, but the eyes of these twelve wooden figurines were all unified, which would inevitably make people suspicious.

"Where are you looking?" Wu Zhiyuan walked to the stone wall under the entrance of the thief cave in confusion, and touched the stone wall with his probing hand, but found no abnormality, and he clenched his fist and tapped on the stone wall a few times, and there was no unusual sound.

He walked up to the figurines again, looked at the faces of each figurine, and muttered "Wooden figurines...... One, two, three...... Twelve......"

Suddenly, the number "twelve" caught his attention: "Twelve, twelve...... Where will twelve be used? ”

Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that he was greedy for anorexia when he was a child, and only ate five dumplings on the dinner table, his mother Wu would say that it was not good to eat five, it was unlucky to eat five, and then eat one to make up a six, six or six Shun, and Wu Zhiyuan at that time would be suspicious and eat another one.

There are now twelve wooden figurines in this tomb, which is obviously not an unintentional move, and this number must have some kind of profound meaning. Wu Zhiyuan racked his brains and paced back and forth in front of the wooden figurines.

"The Daomen has the eight trigrams of the Four Emperors of Heaven, and the Buddha Gate has the four great Vajra and the Eight Great Bodhisattvas, the twelve ......" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the empty stone wall in front of him, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he shouted in a lost voice, "Twelve Earth Branches!" ”

"By the way, it's the twelve earthly branches!" After figuring it out in an instant, Wu Zhiyuan was a little ecstatic, and hurriedly turned around to look at the twelve wooden figurines, if these wooden figurines were really related to the twelve earthly branches, they would definitely be able to find out the mystery from their external carvings.

The moment he turned around and saw the wooden figurine in the middle behind him, the smile on Wu Zhiyuan's face suddenly froze, and the wooden figurine facing the stone wall in front of him in the middle position behind him actually changed, it was a wooden figurine that was a head shorter than himself, the image of this wooden figurine was like a woman, and the middle-aged man's wooden figurine that was the same height as himself ran to the right of the female wooden figurine, his body was slightly sideways, and he was still looking at the stone wall in front of him.

Looking at this strange scene, Wu Zhiyuan only felt a chill down his spine, and a chill ran out of his heart, he remembered very clearly, only one of the twelve wooden figurines was facing the stone wall in front of him, and the wooden figurines on both sides were all slightly sideways towards the middle, so that the eyes of all the wooden figurines could look at the same position on the stone wall.

But now that the wooden figurines facing the stone wall have actually changed, how is this possible? Are these wooden figurines alive?

Wu Zhiyuan couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that these wooden things in front of him would be living creatures, but he thought that this was a burial chamber of a thousand-year-old tomb, and according to some bizarre things that happened before, it was not impossible for the wooden figurines to become fine, thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back, leaning against the stone wall, and watching the reaction of the twelve wooden figurines from a distance.

When leaning on the stone wall, Wu Zhiyuan found that the eyes of the twelve wooden figurines all fell on the position where he was standing, he couldn't help but shudder, slowly moved to the side, and at the same time observed the reaction of those wooden figurines, all the wooden figurines did not move, just stared coldly at the area of the stone wall below the entrance of the cave.

Wu Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally turned his heart sideways, walked towards the female wooden figurine facing the stone wall, and when he came to its approach, Wu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to its forehead.
