Chapter 4: Danger Comes

Seeing the picture of the lady on the wall, the breathing sound of the three of them suddenly became heavy. Even for an illiterate person like Li You, he can see at a glance that this picture of a lady is invaluable.

"This, this is a national treasure...... Shi Guangsheng's Adam's apple squirmed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Mo Liancheng was very annoyed, he touched his head again and again: "How to peel off this mural and take it out, this is a problem!" "He obviously thinks more.

Li You also looked excited, but after a while, he first felt cold all over his body, and felt that something was wrong. I don't know why, he actually felt that the maid on the picture was a little familiar, and in this trance, he raised his eyes again, it didn't matter if he saw it, it almost made him lose his soul!

The lady in the painting actually winked at him, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and the two small dimples on her cheeks slowly concave! The lady "smiled" at Li You!

An indescribable fear suddenly spread out from the bottom of Li You's heart, and he almost screamed in an instant. His whole body shook like a swing for two seconds. Finally reinforcing his mind, Li You carefully looked at the ladies on the mural. He suspected that the image was just an illusion. When he was studying civil engineering and architecture, the teacher told him a lot that in extreme environments, people's mental state is unstable and it is easy to hallucinate.

Li You took a deep breath and blinked his eyes vigorously, forcing himself to calm down. But after concentrating his mind, he was close to collapse again, and the maid on the picture not only winked at him, but also the expression on her face was constantly changing, sometimes quiet and quiet, sometimes strange and gloomy, and in addition, it seemed that there was a "rustle" murmur in her ears for a while. It was as if the woman in the painting was attached to his ear at this moment, whispering some secrets. Coupled with the low and eerie sound of "woo-hoo-hoo-......" from the robbery cave, the entire tomb became extremely frightening.

"Brother Mo, Guangsheng ......" Li You said in a trembling voice: "This painting is weird!" ”

"I also think ......" Shi Guangsheng didn't feel any different, and took over Li You's topic with a grin: "From the style of the picture, it can be seen that it should be a product of the Tang Dynasty, but you see, more than a thousand years have passed, and the beauty on the painting is still lifelike, and the paint has not lost its color, which is really rare......" said with interest, Shi Guangsheng also commented on the subtlety of the brushwork and layout on the painting scroll. Mo Liancheng listened with relish. Judging from the level of dedication of the two, it seems that the two are in an art museum, not in an eerie ancient tomb.

Li You was about to cry, and hurriedly interrupted Shi Guangsheng's tirade: "Guangsheng, the ladies in the painting will move!" As he spoke, Li You moved his feet back, keeping himself as far away from the stone wall as possible. If there is danger, he will definitely be the first to find the location of the thief hole and climb out.

"Will it move? Vivid, this is natural, this painting must be a master-level character, I suspect it is Wu Daozi's style of brushwork...... "Shi Guangsheng, a fool, didn't hear the meaning of Li You's words, and he was very dramatic as a commentator. As he spoke, he reached out to the mural with one hand and rubbed it. At this time, Mo Liancheng also felt that something was wrong, frowned slightly, took a step back, and stared at the picture scroll vigilantly.

"Huh...... This doesn't feel right......" Shi Guangsheng finally felt a little inappropriate. He looked up blankly, took a step back, and finally shouted, "There's a layer of cortex here!" The scroll is painted on the cortex, not on the stone wall! As he spoke, he groped around the edge of the scroll, and suddenly made a "huh", as if he had found something, and then gently peeled it off.

The "Hiss ......" mural was peeled off by Shi Guangsheng, but when he saw what Shi Guangsheng was doing, Li You's heart beat for a moment!

"Human skin!" Mo Liancheng also screamed.

Yes, what is in Shi Guangsheng's hand is a good human skin! Although it was still stained with paint, the human form remained fairly intact, and at a glance you could tell that it was a skin peeled from a human body! Judging from the intact nature of the human skin, this is still peeled off from the body of a living person!

"Not good!" Li You chuckled in his heart, his mind raced, and he thought of some of the secret techniques mentioned in the "Ten Methods of Secret Storage" that he had read, and finally understood what was going on.

"Get out of here!" Throwing down such a sentence, Li You turned around and wanted to escape. But before he could take a step, there was a loud bang in the ear chamber in front of him, and the tomb collapsed, blocking the circuit.

When Shi Guangsheng heard that it was a human skin, he kept talking about bad luck, threw the human skin in his hand to the ground, saw Li You's panicked appearance, and said Isn't it a human skin, how can you be scared like this... It's just that before the words fell, he saw that the ear chamber had collapsed, and he suddenly lost his voice, looked at Li You and Mo Liancheng, was stunned, scratched his head and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The collapse of the auricle is not serious. At least it didn't affect the safety of the main cemetery. But it just happened to block all the retreats of the three of them. If this was an accident, Li You would not believe it. It must have touched the hidden mechanism in the tomb to cause such trouble. Li You's calves couldn't help shaking, the trouble on the mural was big enough, and now even the escape road has been blocked, it seems that this little life is in danger.

The maid's eyes don't move, and she naturally doesn't smile at people. However, Li You knew that there was a kind of secret technique that was not widely spread in the "Ten Methods of Secret Collection", which flowed into the Central Plains from the Western Regions during the Sui and Tang dynasties, and was originally just a method of storing poisonous scorpions in the tombs of nobles to prevent tomb robbers from breaking in, but for some reason, it flowed to the southern Xinjiang region and was later introduced to the Tang Dynasty. After the fusion of masters who are proficient in Gu arts, it has become an even more terrifying Gu worm technique, Gu worms can hide in the realgar for thousands of years without decay, sealed with dead human skin, but once the human skin is torn open, these Gu worms can be resurrected, smelling the breath of the living and devouring.

Intuition told Li You that there might be this kind of Gu worm hidden behind the picture of a lady in human skin, and Shi Guangsheng accidentally uncovered a layer of human skin and woke these guys up.

However, at this moment, the wall rattled again, and the whole picture of a lady in human skin peeled off the wall. When the human skin floated to the ground, what appeared in front of the three of them was a wall of orange-red soil. A strong smell of sulfur filled the air. This is not sulfur, but realgar after crushing and drying! Li You immediately believed his guess!

"What should I do?" Li You muttered to himself, but he didn't have a clue to deal with it for a while. There is a way to deal with Gu worms in the "Ten Methods of Secret Storage", but the three of them did not carry anything related to them.

Soon, a lot of dust peeled off the orange walls, and then the sound of "rustling" like silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves appeared, and then some maroon myriad insects came out of the yellow interlayer, constantly swimming on the wall, dense, and from time to time some fell to the root of the wall, slowly writhing their stiff bodies, apparently not able to recover from their dormancy.

Li You and Mo Liancheng looked at each other, seeing the fear in each other's eyes. Immediately afterwards, both of them screamed, and ran away from the depths of the graveyard very tacitly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Guangsheng didn't wait for Li You and Mo Liancheng to greet him, followed up, and asked urgently, "What is this?" Fucking disgusting......"

"Shut the fuck!" Mo Liancheng turned around and roared: "If you want to live, don't say anything!" "Mo Liancheng has his own family heritage, and he is still more useful than Li You and Shi Guangsheng at critical moments. While leading Li You and Shi Guangsheng to the depths of the tomb, he took something out of his backpack. And at this time, there was also a rustling sound behind him. Li You looked back, his scalp couldn't help tingling, and goosebumps wrinkled all over his body.

The Gu worms that had fallen to the ground had already gathered into a stream of water and chased towards the position of the three of them. And in the male yellow layer, there is a steady stream of more Gu worms, these Gu worms are bigger and stronger, they look like scorpions, but there are many more arthropods on their bodies than scorpions. They clinged to the wall, their limbs clinging mightily up the stone wall towards several people, flicking the long stingers behind them......
