Chapter 20: Monty Python

Li Yishan said with some discouragement: "Gu Loulan has disappeared for more than a thousand years, and it disappeared so suddenly, there is no information left at all, we have to find out the identities of the three monsters, it is simply impossible." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Wu Jian shook his head and said: "Although the Loulan people have disappeared, we still have a clue, that is, to start from the Yi village. The ancient Yi people have classics left, maybe the relevant information about the three monsters mentioned above. ”

Professor Zhang patted his head and said excitedly: "Yes, how did we forget about the things on the side of the ancient Yi people." Well, after I went back this time, I started to investigate this matter, and I must find out what happened between the Guloulan people and the Gu Yi people, and maybe there will be unexpected gains. ”

Biaozi shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's too early to say this, there is a gate next to it that leads to the side hall, should we go in and take a walk?" Perhaps the gains inside will be even greater. ”

According to the normal situation, the side hall is the king's office, or sleeping place, of course, if it is a palace of the level of the Forbidden City, it is another matter. The palaces in the Forbidden City are very clear, the study room has an independent courtyard, and the sleeping place is also called the sleeping palace, so the huge scale is naturally not comparable to a small country like Loulan.

The side hall is about half smaller than the main hall, but it is divided into two rooms, which are connected by an arched round door in the middle, and a crystal curtain hangs down from it. The room outside contained several bronze tripods, and the rest of the room was rotting wood and shattered colored porcelain vases.

Professor Zhang picked up a piece of wood and looked at it carefully, then turned back to us and said regretfully: "This is a fine mahogany, it seems that there were a lot of good furniture here in the past, but because it is too old, it has become a pile of rotten wood, what a pity." ”

Biaozi was more concerned about the vases scattered on the ground, looking at this, looking at that, and smiling on his face: "Damn, these vases are painted on them, and the workmanship is very fine, if you can take one out, at least it will be worth hundreds of thousands of banknotes, and it is an extreme waste to throw it here." ”

Although the label is itchy and unbearable, he really wants to take those colored porcelain bottles on the ground as his own, but with Tan Jia and Professor Zhang here, how dare he come nonsense? Aiming at Tan Jia's sharp eyes, the mark couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly laughed dryly, and reluctantly put those colored porcelain bottles back.

Tan Jia snorted coldly, didn't look at the sign again, turned her head and walked towards the room inside, and when she arrived at the circular doorway, she stopped, her eyes attracted by the crystal curtain. The crystals were all white, and a small hole was drilled by a craftsman in the middle, and then threaded one by one with copper wire, and hung on the wall of the doorway, forming the extravagant crystal bead curtain in front of you.

There are many more things in this room inside, and they are much more elaborate, and there are many patterns carved on the ground, all of which are monsters with human heads and snake bodies. But what makes us feel embarrassed is that the monster on the pattern is naked, and there are men and women in it, and they are having copulation, and those who look at it can't help but think about it.

Tan Jia is a girl after all, she just glanced at it, and then looked away, but her face was flushed. Following Tan Jia's gaze, on the right side of the room was a row of bronze mirrors, a total of seven, all placed on a stone platform. In the innermost part of the room, there is a white marble bed, and it is incredible that the white curtains on the stone bed are well preserved, and there is no damage at all.

The sign tells us that it is a tent woven of silk, and in such a dry environment, even if it is left for two thousand years, it will not necessarily rot, so there is no fuss at all. He said that the plain yarn Zen clothes unearthed in Mawangdui in Changsha were woven of silk, and after more than 2,000 years, they were still intact.

The plain yarn Zen robe weighs only 49 grams, and it is as light as nothing on the body, but the texture is very strong, which was called a miracle in silk fabrics by archaeologists at the time.

The curtain enclosed the entire stone bed, but I stumbled upon what appeared to be a black shadow in the drapery, shaped like a seated person. The more I looked at it, the more I felt like it, and my heart suddenly struck, this palace is at least 1,600 years old, even if there is really a person in that curtain, it must be a skeleton man, how can he maintain a sitting posture?

I thought to myself, isn't it that I'm too nervous and dazzled? I couldn't believe it, rubbed my eyes, and looked at it again, and at that moment, the shadow in the curtain suddenly moved, and seemed to raise its hand. My head exploded, and I was half frightened, and I took several steps back, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

I was suddenly so startled, the other four people were also startled, and the mark was stunned for a moment, and then said to me seriously: "I said Lao Yang, you are also a big boss, how do you always be so frizzy and frizzy?" This character will have to be changed in the future! Seeing that my face was wrong, the mark paused for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Oh, I said Lao Yang, what did you see, why did you become so scared?" ”

I pointed to the stone bed and stammered, "Shadow! There's a moving shadow in that curtain! ”

"Lao Yang, are you dazzled, this underground palace has a history of more than a thousand years, how can there be living creatures?" Biaozi turned his head suspiciously, looked at the stone bed, under the illumination of the flashlight, the figure in the curtain became more and more clear, and Biaozi said in surprise: "Damn, it seems that there is really a figure in that tent, what the hell is going on?" ”

Professor Zhang believes that someone died on a stone bed, and under special circumstances, became a dried corpse, and the figure is the shadow of the dried corpse. Or, there was no one on the stone bed at all, but an object that resembled a person, and it was because we ourselves were so suspicious that we took the shadow for a human figure.

I shook my head firmly: "Professor, it's definitely not a dry corpse, I looked at it very carefully just now, and the shadow still raised its hand, if it's a dry corpse, how can it move?" ”

Professor Zhang glanced at the stone bed, looked back at me suspiciously, and said, "Xiao Yang, are you too nervous, when did the shadow raise his hand, why can't I see it?" ”

I vaguely felt that something was wrong in my heart, and when I looked back, I was stunned, his grandmother's, it was really hell, just now I remember very clearly, the figure suddenly moved, and raised his hand mechanically, but now I look at it, the figure's hand is still under him, as if it has never moved.

What the fuck is going on, did I really look dazzled just now? Can't I, I'm not short-sighted, can I be wrong even if a dark shadow doesn't move?

Biaozi looked at me with a confused face, patted me on the shoulder and said: "When people are nervous, it is easy to have delusions, that is a normal thing, you don't have to think about it." ”

I was dumbfounded for a while, my mouth moved a few times, but I didn't say a word, and I felt very aggrieved in my heart. The mark seemed to see my thoughts, and said: "Don't look like you're going to die, if you really don't worry, just go over and take a look?" ”

After saying that, he took the submachine gun on his chest and began to walk towards the stone bed step by step. My nerves tightened, my breathing became rapid, and I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that I was really dazzled, otherwise the sign would pass by alone, and the ghost knew what the consequences would be.

The sign did not dare to be careless, and walked extremely carefully along the way, his eyes fixed on the shadow on the curtain, and it took him about ten seconds to reach the stone bed. The sign smiled back at us, ready to pull the curtain away with his submachine gun.

But at this critical moment, what I feared most happened when the black figure in the curtain suddenly moved, and his hands were raised mechanically. Even if the mark was bold, at that moment, he was so frightened that his face was colorless, and he almost climbed back.

When he came to us, Biaozi exclaimed again and again: "Sure enough, there is an evil thing in it, it is very likely to be the monster with the head of the snake body, I said Lao Yang, move quickly, lend me some blood." His grandmother's, he actually dared to scare your family Biao Ye, if I don't give you some color today, you won't know what Biao Ye used to do. ”

Having said that, Kebiaozi's forehead was full of cold sweat from fright, and the muscles on his face were trembling. I pulled out the dagger and was about to scratch it on my finger, Wu Jian blocked me with his hand, and said, "Don't worry, I suspect that the thing in there is not a zombie or something, otherwise I must be able to feel the strong yin qi, there may be another way out, I'll go over and take a look first." ”

Wu Jian opened the baggage, looked inside, and the bronze sword was taken out by him. He gripped the bronze sword tightly with both hands, and with a blushing face, he approached the stone bed step by step.

We watched him go over with fear, and we didn't even dare to come out, for fear that the things inside the curtain would be alarmed, and suddenly burst out of it and hurt people. When they arrived at the stone bed, sure enough, the black shadow inside suddenly moved again, but at this time everyone was psychologically prepared, although they were still a little scared, but they were still within the scope of bearing.

Wu Jian seemed to have expected such a thing a long time ago, and the moment the black shadow moved, his bronze sword slashed straight over. All I heard was "Woo-ra!" With a sound, the silk curtain was split in two by the bronze sword, revealing a hole.

Without the curtain, I could see everything on the stone bed, and my suspicions were correct, for a monster with a snake head sat on the stone bed, his hands raised high. But what makes me very strange is that the monster's skin has turned purple-brown, and there is no moisture on its body, and it is clearly a real mummy, but I don't understand why it can still raise its hands, can it be resurrected?

Biaozi also seemed to be a little incredulous, walked over and touched the monster's raised hands with a dagger, made sure that the other party did not react, turned around and said strangely: "Damn, this monster is already dead and can't die anymore, even if there is no possibility of becoming a zombie, but why can he still move?" Could it be that we are collectively hallucinating? ”

"Definitely not an illusion." Li Yishan said with a dead face: "Don't guess, to tell you the truth, this monster doesn't move, it's just the machine in his stomach, to put it bluntly, this monster is just an ornament, and his existence is to hide a mechanism." ”

Tan Jia obviously didn't believe it, so she said, "Why are you so sure?" ”

Li Yishan smiled bitterly, pointed behind us and said, "You can see for yourself." ”

I wondered if there was a room full of rotten wooden boards, and I had already looked at it carefully when we came, and it seemed that there was nothing special about it. But as my gaze stretched outward, my whole body froze at once, because the arched doorway in the crystal curtain disappeared, or rather, sealed, to be exact.

Biaozi said angrily: "When was the door blocked, since you guys know, why don't you remind us, it's okay now, the retreat is blocked, let's prepare to wait here for death." ”

Li Yishan said with an innocent face: "It's none of my business, when I found out, the doorway was completely sealed, if I guessed correctly, it should be activated when the monster raised his hand, so I am sure that the monster has a hidden mechanism." ”

I thought there was nothing worse than the situation in front of us, but at that moment, the room we were in suddenly began to tremble, and then a rumbling sound came from under our feet. The trembling lasted for three seconds, and the large bluestone on the ground in front of him began to sink, revealing a large pit with a diameter of about ten meters.

Biaozi's face changed, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "His grandmother's, which one is this singing?" How can there be a big pit? Could it be a trap inside? ”

Everyone is a second monk who is confused, and his face is full of suspicion, and I am secretly glad in my heart, fortunately, we all came to this side of the room just now, otherwise we would all fall into that big pit.

I don't know how deep this square pit is, it's dark inside, and the flashlight shines into it, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. Biaozi seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly became interested, and smiled at our thief: "You say, this pit is so secret, could it be the treasury of the ancient Loulan Kingdom?" ”

Professor Zhang said angrily: "Now that the situation is urgent, if you don't want to do anything, why do you just think about those things that are not boundary, besides, even if you put the gold and silver mountains in front of you now, can you take them out?" ”

Biaozi said disapprerovingly: "It doesn't matter if you can't take it out, I'm having a good time, what's the matter, you old guy is red-eyed?" Besides, I'm not an expert in mechanics, so I can come up with any ideas. ”

Tan Jia pondered for a moment and said, "The mechanism was activated because of the corpse of that monster, I think we have to start studying from that monster, only by understanding the principle of the mechanism on that monster, can we get out of here." ”

What Tan Jia said makes a lot of sense, but what makes me very strange is why we don't notice it at all when the circular doorway is blocked? Or is it so clever that it activates so silently that people don't even notice it?

After all, the problem was still on the corpse of the monster, and Wu Jian went to check it, and found that the stomach of the dried corpse was bulging, as if something very hard was hidden in it, and he suspected that it was a device of the mechanism.

However, Wu Jian felt that since the mechanism was so cleverly designed, it must be difficult to unravel, and if we moved the dry corpse, we would destroy the mechanism in its stomach, and even if he knew the way to open the mechanism, he would regret it, although he knew where the mechanism was, he still didn't dare to act rashly.

The sign knocked on the wall of the stone room, shook his head and said to us: "This house is too strong, it is all made of hundreds of pounds of big stones, even if you use grenades to blow up, you may not be able to blow up an escape, this is really a big trouble." ”

We all gathered around the stone bed, looking at the dried corpse of the monster, and there was an evil fire in our stomachs rushing up to our heads, and we almost couldn't help it several times, and wanted to break open the stomach of the dried corpse to see what kind of mechanism was inside, but Professor Zhang stopped us.

Professor Zhang said: "If this dried corpse can be moved casually, then it will not be put here as a mechanism, I think it is better not to touch it until we are completely sure, otherwise we will lose even the last hope." ”

Li Yishan said with some worry: "Professor, we all know what you said, but if we don't try it just because of the danger, then we don't just wait here to die?" Anyway, we don't have much time, let's do it! ”

Professor Zhang didn't reply, but the expression on his face was very solemn, probably considering Li Yishan's words. Biaozi and I couldn't stand this dreary atmosphere the most, so we planned to go to the big pit to have a look, but the moment we turned back, we were surprised to find that the huge pit was gone.

But what is even more unacceptable is that in the place where the pit disappeared, more than a dozen black pythons with thighs thick were lying there, spitting out their forked tongues, staring at us viciously.

This sudden change was something that no one expected, and while we were stunned, we couldn't help but say, and immediately picked up the submachine gun, and the next moment, a continuous burst of gunfire rang out in the stone room.

Although those black pythons are huge, their bodies are very agile, except for the first two big snakes whose heads were opened by us, the other pythons are like arrows off the string, swimming towards us. The speed of those pythons was so fast that we didn't have time to aim our guns before we felt a few black shadows pounce on us. (To be continued.)
