Just above our heads, there was a hole like a hole, and where the lamp met with darkness, a very large face protruded, more than twice as large as that of an ordinary person, and covered with white hair, as if fished out of a flour heap. With a pointed nose and a pair of blood-red eyes, he stared straight at the three of us. The mouth was cracked, and two teeth poked out of the mouth. The saliva is about to flow into a river, and it is dripping down one by one.

The guy's neck was not too long, even the upper half of his body was lying out, and the hair on his body was black and short, greasy and glowing under the lamp. The guy poked his head left and right, but he couldn't help it. Suddenly, with the help of the miner's lamp, we could see clearly, a white-headed mouse as big as a pig. Where has Xiao Li ever seen such a big mouse, "Mom! "With a bang, I was so scared that I was about to retreat! This is the underground, and it is the king!

"His grandmother's! actually met a Gaochang rat, this kind of guy really exists? The old man was obviously taken aback. According to the records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, there is a rat king in Gaochang State, the big one is like a pig, the small one is like a rabbit, and the head is as white as snow. In the past, if the merchants did not worship, their clothes would be bitten, and at worst, they would die immediately. Since Gaochang was destroyed in the Qarakhanid, this rat has also become extinct. Unexpectedly, I actually encountered it underground today.

Where did Xiao Li think about it, the guy jumped up, jumped three meters high, and puffed down on Xiao Li. It turned out that Xiao Li's body smelled of blood, and it was quite tempting to the mouse! "Shoot! Li pimple! "Oh! Just this king and eight lambs, Lao Tzu killed a group of people back then! Li Pimple didn't show his face, only to see him squatting, bending the cat's body, pushing his left hand like a gale, and firing a shot at the giant rat, and suddenly the gun jumped to his right hand and released another shot, hitting the mouse's head. The rat grunted and smashed into Xiao Li. The black blood flows, and the smell is disgusting!

Li Pimple is not a simple person, his real name is Li Xuanzhong, a master of tomb robbers in the south, he can look at the face, watch the feng shui and fix the dragon's lair. In the Taklamakan Desert meteorite incident, Zhang Huzi was nominally the captain, but the actual captain was Old Man Xia and Li Pimple. The team of more than 100 people fought all the way into the desert, and in the end there were only three of them left, and it was unimaginable that there were no means.

Unconsciously, a few more Gaochang rats crawled out, and the fish rushed in, chewing the dead Gaochang rat wildly, biting the flesh and blood into a blur, and it became a pile of white bones in an instant.

"Quick! Run down the hole in the wall. "Old man Xia is fifty-three or four years old, with a little right foot, his body is like a flying ape sweeping the slope, jumping up the stone cave, kicking hard with both hands and feet, and swishing up the stone wall seven or eight meters high. And from the matter, throw down a rope. was stunned that Xiao Li, a special soldier of the Sharp Knife Company, was also stunned. Old man Xia shouted: "Gua Wazi, don't wilt a few times, quickly grab the marching bag and run with me!" Xiao Li focused on his arms, grabbed the rope with both hands, and climbed up with three kicks and two kicks.

That Li Pimple was alone behind the palace and beat the Gaochang rat wildly. Slightly retreated to help run, rushed to the bottom of the wall, dragged the rope with both hands, and a carp struck, turned over and jumped up. Xiao Li was stunned and well-informed, and he was also startled, "These two old guys, where are they sacred!" All three rolled over and crawled into the hole.

The cave is only half a man high, and you need to be a cat to get through. The earthen walls are full of traces of claws opening the way!

"Li Pimple! Now there are no outsiders, it's time to show your hands! ”

"Just these three decrepit cubs, I will collapse one by one!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Li Pimple sat on his feet, his upper body twisted one hundred and eighty degrees, stretched out his right arm suddenly, the gun was like a dragonfly in the water, only to hear three gunshots, the three white-headed rats were kicking their legs on the ground, thinking that they would not survive!

Xiao Li was shocked into a white sweat, he was the best gunman on the farm, and he was not as good as this Li pimple. Sure enough, if the real person doesn't show his face, the origin of the old man Xia should be even more difficult!

After walking for about ten minutes, Old Man Xia took a miner's lamp and shone it: "Li Pimple, it seems to be a road ahead." I'm going down a rat hole right now, ha! Ha! Ha! "Hah! Ha! Ha! I know! The two of them talked and laughed, not to mention that the three or four salmon were also killed by the old guy!

Sure enough, within a hundred steps, this soil cave came to an end. The Yongdao is more than one person high, all made of big bluestone carving, and the top of the cave is arched. "Guawazi, wait a minute, you will follow me three steps straight, four steps diagonally to the left, three steps straight ahead, and four steps diagonally to the right. Walking in such a straight and diagonal way, you can't make a mistake. The old man held his chest high, didn't even look at the ground, and walked back and forth for about ten minutes. Xiao Li was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he stumbled out half of his feet. "Get down!" Li Pimple heard the sound of metal scraping against the stones, and threw Xiao Li down. Sure enough, "Whoosh! Whoosh!", several dark arrows grazed the scalp.

"Gua baby! This is a Han-style tomb, and there are hanging crossbows and flying arrows in this kind of corridor. Lao Tzu went to the tomb back then, and your grandson didn't know where to reincarnate! Old man Xia picked up Xiao Li, took three steps to the left and two steps to the right and walked for more than ten minutes. A large stone wall blocked the way. The wall was hewn out of a single stone, with three lines of text written in the center. One line resembles Sanskrit, one line is Chinese, and one line resembles Semitic. Xiao Li was confused: "What is painted on this?" ”

Old man Xia muttered in a strange voice, and finally spoke: "It says, those who dare to send me Qiu will never be the queen!" Old man Xia added: "In today's words, it is to dare to dig Lao Tzu's grave and curse the whole family to death!" Li Pimple smiled: "It's really Lu Wen and Khotan Saiwen." It seems that this is the tomb of Khotan! ”

The full name of Lu Wen is "Timid Lu Lice Diwen", also known as Galu Wen. Legend has it that Tianzhu was a donkey-faced immortal who created this kind of pinyin script written from left to right. Later, it spread from Tianzhu to the Western Regions Niya and Loulan generations, and became the local common language.

"Old man Xia, isn't this stone wall the King Kong Wall?"

"Burst it with explosives?" Seeing that no one responded, Xiao Li continued.

"Gua Wazi, you lit the explosives, aren't we all dead?"

"How can this little break down on me?" Old man Xia took out a thin iron claw from his arms and slashed at the stone door, and the stone door opened a crack, revealing a ghostly light through the crack! Old man Xia took out a hard steel wire from the marching bag again, and hooked it slightly into the crack of the door. The left and right hands against both sides of the door, and with a gentle push, the door of thousands of pounds creaked open. Old man Xia put his hands behind his back, as if he was going home!

Xiao Li also followed, perhaps in the dark for a long time, and a sudden burst of light pierced his eyes. After a long time, I opened my eyes slightly, but I couldn't close them, and I was stunned by the scene in front of me.

The burial chamber is the size of a basketball court, up to four or five meters, and is supported by six stone pillars on the left and right, all of which are jade from the Karakoram Mountains, and the pillars are carved with a Gandhara-style relief of a dancing girl, and the image is extremely vivid. Pearls, agate, jade, and jade are piled underneath! The pearl of the night sparkles. The burial chamber emitted bursts of fluorescence, cold and bleak. The fluorescent sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb emitted a blue light.

The fluorite sarcophagus is three meters long, up to two meters wide, and one and a half meters high. The coffin was crystal clear, smooth throughout, and faintly visible in the coffin. It seems that with the naked eye, you can see its chill. On the four sides of the coffin, four relief murals in the Gandhara style are carved on each side, with smooth lines and realistic shapes.

Beside the fluorite coffin, there are dozens of naked corpses of young women, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with three-dimensional faces, which can show the characteristics of the Aryan race. The flesh was crystal white, and it seemed as if he had just died. Needless to say, it was a martyred Chaotian girl. With so many jade bodies lying horizontally, Xiao Li blushed to the base of his neck.

The load-bearing jade of the tomb roof bulges towards the center, forming a dome-shaped. A three-dimensional mural is painted on the top of the dome, and in the center of the view is a man dressed in royal attire, dressed similar to ancient India, holding a scimitar around his neck, as if to kill himself, and a rat-headed man kneeling next to him. The rat-headed man stared at the pile of soldiers' corpses scattered around him. The battle flag behind the man was also broken, and on the edge of the mural, a circle of soldiers resembling the faces of Han people appeared, and one flag was written "Son of the Eastern Emperor" in Zuo Ti Lu Wen, and under the flag stood a young descendant, with a handsome face and elated, as if the war was about to be won.

"Gua baby! Can you understand this mural? ”

"I don't know!"

"If you can get out alive, read more books, and don't mess around! Legend has it that the assistant of the crown prince of Sanssouci and his subordinates were moved to the western border of Khotan by the king of Sanssouci in anger. The emperor of the eastern soil occupied the eastern boundary, and later the east and west met on a narrow road, and the east lord defeated the west lord and unified in Khotan. This story is the story of the defeat of the West Lord! ”

"That's right! Nine times out of ten, this tomb is the tomb of the West Lord! ”

"This west master may be an impostor, don't believe it, take a look at the relief on this coffin."

I saw that on the front of the coffin, a beggar was carved in the middle who was dragged away by two soldiers, and a noble woman on the city gate was happy. On the reverse side of the coffin, a beautiful woman with a snake body and a human face is engraved, sealed in the furnace by a person dressed as a soldier. A line of incantations was written on each end of the coffin in Khotanese, Tilu, Tocharo, Gaochang, Uighur, Chinese, and Tibetan scripts! The Chinese character reads "dust to dust, earth to earth, life to peace, death to peace".

"Li Pimple, do you know the story of the beggar?"

"I really don't know this, I know everything about the Han land, and I only know a little bit about this Xinjiang!"

"That beggar is the real West Lord, and this one in the coffin is an impostor. Legend has it that there was a woodcutter living in the tug-of-war in Shoutug-of-war, who coveted his wife's beauty and refused to work. Later, his wife painted a portrait of herself and asked him to take it to work. One day, the wind blew the portrait into the hands of the West Lord, and when the West Lord saw such a beautiful woman, he took it by force. The woman was naturally sullen! She quietly sent a book to her husband and asked him to disguise himself as a beggar and beg downstairs in the imperial city. When she saw her husband coming, she smiled for the first time in a long time. When the king saw this, he disguised himself as a beggar to curry favor with her. But she ordered the soldiers to take away the beggar disguised as the king and kill him. The woodcutter became the king of the country! ”

Xiao Li was stunned when he heard it, he had never seen such a story. Pointing to the relief of the human-faced snake body, staring at Old Man Xia, his eyes kept blinking, as if he was full of doubts.

"This is the story of a beautiful snake. The woodcutter became a king and went hunting for a day. In the woods, he met a beautiful woman who claimed to be a princess and wanted the king to marry her because the kingdom was ruined. The king agreed without even thinking about it, and when the woman entered the palace, she not only killed the queen, but also ate a pair of boys and girls every year. In the third year of eating, the snake demon named the princess who pretended to be a beggar king. The new king, of course, couldn't be more than happy. In this year, a Taoist priest who claimed to be a heavenly master came from the east and said to the king, "Your queen is a snake demon." The Taoist priest made a trick in front of the king, and the queen became a monster with a human head and a snake body. The Taoist priest sacrificed his mana and sealed the snake demon in the furnace, saying that after 1,700 years, the snake demon might escape, and then he would come back to this country. Because of his love for the snake demon, the western lord was mediocre and was soon eliminated by the proprietor. The princess secretly wrote down the name of the Taoist priest, and later the princess and the Taoist priest did not know their whereabouts. ”

After Old Man Xia finished speaking in one go, Xiao Li was dumbfounded. I am even more curious about the so-called West Lord in the sarcophagus. Inside the coffin lay a male corpse, dressed exactly like the one on the mural.

Suddenly, the whole coffin moved, and a puff of black smoke rose up.

A strange aroma came out from the bottom of the coffin, and a human-headed snake with a long body was standing tall and straightening up, making an attack posture, spitting scarlet letters, and the snake's eyes exuded a cold and fierce murderous aura. A black liquid with an incomparably fishy smell squirted out of the snake's tooth gland towards Xiao Li. Xiao Li rolled over, and the human head snake turned into a black python, bit Xiao Li's foot and began to swallow. Li Pimple and Old Man Xia hurriedly tugged on Xiao Li's arm. Two black clues flashed, snap! Syllable! Li Pimple and Old Man Xia were both whipped by the snake's tail, and their bones rolled to the side. Seeing that Xiao Li was in danger.

"Beast, shut up!" A soft female voice came, and the beautiful snake hurriedly retched, spit out Xiao Li, and slipped into the black hole under the coffin......

The three of them gasped for a long time before they came to their senses. Qi Shushu looked into the coffin, and the eyes of the male corpse inside suddenly opened, with a pair of empty blood-red eyes, and a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
