Chapter 22: The Ancient Bronze Sword

Wei Lai looked at the living corpse and the giant ant, only to see that the two were not completely dead, but tried to devour each other, the giant ant's mouth and palate continued to open and close, devouring the flesh and blood of the living corpse, the pale face was greedy and fierce, the cloudy eyes were as white as dead fish, and the eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

At the same time as the human-faced giant ant devoured, the fangs of the living corpse stirred, and the nails of both hands buckled the abdomen of the giant ant, which was also devouring the body of the other party, and the flesh and blood swallowed by the living corpse was swallowed from the throat, and it happened to fall where the giant ant swallowed, and the giant ant ate its own flesh and blood, and it continued to be devoured in a cycle, and no one was willing to compromise and retreat.

"Damn, I'm sick to death, I almost threw up, let's take the opportunity to run." Wei Lai endured the feeling of nausea, beckoned Huo Meng and the others to leave immediately, and also gave up the idea of the blood of the mobile phone giant ant.

Huo Meng had Zhang Qiang, who was injured on his back and feet, and several people followed Wei Lai to the top floor, when passing by the living corpses and giant ants, Wen Xiu looked curiously, but was frightened and screamed in panic. "Not dead yet, aren't they dead yet?"

Wei Lai stepped forward to cover Wen Xiu's mouth and led him up the stairs, for fear that Wen Xiu would alarm the living corpses and giant ants, although they were on the verge of death, Wei Lai did not dare to guarantee whether the other party was a threat, and the toxin of the human-faced giant ants alone could kill everyone.

"Auntie, do you dare to shout at this time, for fear that the other party will not know that you have escaped?" When everyone reached the top floor, Wei Lai let go of the hand that was covering Wen Xiu and accused him.

It's not that Wei Lai doesn't know the reason, if Wei Lai doesn't tell the matter, Wenxiu doesn't know the importance of the matter at all, and maybe it will lead everyone into a desperate situation.

Wen Xiu took the initiative to admit his mistake, and also understood the thrill just now, fortunately, he did not alarm the giant ants and living corpses, otherwise everyone's lives would be threatened, and then he would become a sinner.

The top floor is very empty, only in the middle is a blood-red sarcophagus, the surface of the sarcophagus is carved with patterns, and the patterns outline various charm styles, which are very different from the previous coffins.

The most peculiar part is the coffin lid, the shape of the coffin lid is not a regular arc row, but the middle part is concave downward, deliberately opening up a hollow area, and in this area is placed a slender brocade box, which is covered with various yellowed rune paper.

"Wei Lai?" Huo Meng put down Zhang Qiang, stared at the brocade box on the sarcophagus, then turned his head to look at Wei Lai, and asked in a low voice.

Wei Lai was depressed at this time, when he saw that the coffin was not wooden, he knew that the plan to find the soul suppression nail had come to naught, and after sensing Huo Meng's gaze, Wei Lai's eyes fell on the brocade box on the coffin lid.

"This?" Wei Lai hesitated, originally planned to come to the top floor to find the soul nail, if not, he would lead everyone out, but this brocade box can be on the coffin lid of the tomb owner, it is definitely a rare treasure, maybe it is to suppress the sarcophagus.

"The sound of the sword weapon concussion just now should be the contents of the brocade box, and it is the one that dispelled the ghosts." Huo Meng and Wei Lai have been going all the way, knowing how important things are that can dispel ghosts, and they will definitely enter the ancient tomb in the future, and they can't help but be moved by the things in the brocade box.

"Wei Lai, help me get it." Huo Meng stared at the brocade box and said solemnly to Wei.

Wei Lai saw Huo Meng's expression, Huo Meng rarely spoke to himself like this, and couldn't help but nod and said, "Damn, you go find the way first." ”

"Okay." Huo Meng saw Wei Lai agree, and Lisuo ran to find the mechanism to get out.

Wei Lai cautiously approached the sarcophagus, it stands to reason that Prince Lian has been bruised and scattered, this coffin should be an empty coffin, but this ancient tomb was built to suppress ghosts, presumably the things in this coffin will never be so simple, at least it will not be an empty coffin.

"What could it be, Prince Lian's grudge?" Wei Lai suddenly remembered the dream he had had, and when he appeared in the blood coffin, he suddenly felt chills all over his body, and he regretted agreeing to Huo Meng's request.

Wei Lai was ruthless, put the glazed pendant on the coffin lid, took out all the remaining black runes, and placed them around the sarcophagus.

Wei Lai stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid of the brocade box, a slight metallic sound vibrate, Wei Lai's heart tightened, knowing that he was bad, and opening the brocade box led to some kind of mechanism.

There is an ancient sword in the brocade box, the color of the bronze is simple and vicissitudes, it is covered with mysterious lines, mysterious and weird, and there seems to be something missing under the hilt, giving people a feeling of tiger and snake tail.

Vaguely, Wei Lai felt that this long sword was very familiar, very similar to the long sword mold found on the second floor with the bronze ancient ring.

"Strange thing, no matter what." Wei Lai stretched out his hand to pick up the ancient sword, but found that the ancient sword was extremely heavy.

Wei Lai sighed lightly and stretched out his hand again curiously, but there was a noise inside the sarcophagus, and it was getting bigger and bigger, but no matter how the sarcophagus vibroke, it just couldn't lift the lid of the coffin suppressed by the ancient sword.

Wei Lai was flustered in his heart, he opened the brocade box by himself, and alarmed the contents of the sarcophagus, if it wasn't for the ancient sword suppression, the contents would definitely come out, and all of them would die here.

"Huo Meng, have you found the exit?" Wei Lai asked back, accidentally touching the ancient ring in his pocket.

"I found it, I found it along the bloodstains from the living corpse, and I went up to the altar, Zhang Qiang and Wenxiu have already gone up, how are you there?" After Huo Meng finished speaking, he ran in the direction of Wei Lai.

Wei Lai touched the ancient ring, remembering the missing part of the ancient sword, and the shape of the ancient ring just matched it, there was some unbelievable comparison, the ancient ring and the ancient sword were completely connected together, Wei Lai mentioned it easily, and the ancient sword was easily lifted.

Wei Lai frowned, he didn't expect that the heavy ancient sword would be lifted so easily, when he saw that the coffin lid also vibrate, he knew that the things in the sarcophagus were about to come out, and threw the ancient sword in his hand to Huo Meng, who ran over, and turned around and ran.

"Fierce son, run, or you will die."

Huo Meng knew that something was wrong when he saw Wei Lai's face, and when Wei Lai shouted, Huo Meng ran towards the exit with the ancient sword, while Wei Lai followed behind Huo Meng, not daring to look back at the scene behind him.

The sound behind it became louder and louder, and suddenly there was a rumbling vibration, and the smell of blood filled the entire top floor, and the smell of rancid smell filled the air, and a huge tulip flower quickly bloomed from the sarcophagus, exactly the same as on the black door when it entered, and in the center of the flower was a human face, and the petals were made of flesh and blood, and the stamens were like human hair, strangely scattered and fluttering.

And the moment the flesh and blood flower appeared, the mourning bell on the second floor made a huge sound, and the ghosts outside the main hall frantically converged towards the top floor, and the entire underground palace began to collapse, gradually collapsing.

When the mourning bell rang and the ghosts outside the main hall rushed towards the flower, the human face instantly opened its eyes, blood flowed from its scarlet eyes, staring at the direction of Wei Lai's escape, whimpering and roaring.

And Wei Lai had already run to the altar at this time, and when he turned around, he happened to see the scene below, and the face in the tulip flower was opposite, and suddenly felt that his head was dizzy, and he found that he was slowly turning into the face of the center of the tulip flower, and vaguely felt that the sarcophagus where the tulip flower was located was his home, and his body couldn't control and wanted to return to the top floor.

"Bang, wake up." Huo Meng saw Wei Lai's strange behavior, and wanted to return to the top floor, went up to pull Wei Lai out, and directly slapped him twice.

Wei Lai was slapped by Huo Meng, and he was completely awake from his dizziness, and he was terrified, if he really returned to the top floor, it would be himself who would replace the face of Tu Hua, and his fate would not belong to him.

When he saw the tulip flowers in the sarcophagus, Wei Lai remembered a memory left by the weasel, Taoism in the Qing Dynasty advocated alchemy spells, and Buddhism advocated reincarnation and immortality, Emperor Yongzheng was an obsessive of Buddhism, surrounded by countless Buddhism and Taoism, and the four major mysteries of the Qing Dynasty, the headless corpse of Emperor Yongzheng was one of them, in the study of later generations, it is believed that the death of Emperor Yongzheng has a great relationship with Buddhism.

Tulip flower is the meaning of Buddhism's transcendent reincarnation, just in line with Emperor Yongzheng's intention to try immortality, using Taoist strange spells and alchemy skills, maybe you can really seal yourself, when Emperor Yongzheng is alive, never come to Chengde Summer Resort, is it in order to hide people's eyes and ears, there is an ulterior secret?

"Could it be that the face in the sarcophagus is not Prince Lian, but ......" Wei Lai shuddered, and the idea of subverting cognition appeared in his mind, and even he felt unrealistic.

However, Wei Lai's mind is extremely active, and he can't stop analyzing in his heart, this underground palace tomb is not as simple as it seems, and there may be more secrets, but with the collapse of the tomb, this history has been submerged in the soil after all, and it doesn't matter who the face in the tulip flower is, he already has his own answer in Wei Lai's heart.

Seeing that Wei Lai came to his senses, Huo Meng picked up Zhang Qiang, who had bad legs and feet, and shouted for Wei Lai to run quickly, the collapse of the underground palace slowly spread to the entire cemetery, although there was no danger at this time, but everyone no longer had the courage to stay.

Just as Wei Lai and the others were running away towards the Shinto Monument, Feng Jianguo and the others actually ran out of a stone gate, looking very embarrassed, and some even broke their arms.

"You're not dead?" Huo Meng's words were questionable, as if he knew that the other party would die, but not dying now aroused suspicion.

Feng Jianguo panted and waved his hand: "Don't say it, there are already three dead, if the stone door is not opened at the end, we will all die tragically inside, there are terrifying zombies inside." ”

Wei Lai counted the number of people present, and there were eleven people left, that is to say, in addition to Li Yutao and Li Guangming, there were three people who died in the ancient tomb, and the luck of Feng Jianguo and the others was surprisingly good.

Wei Lai was still worried about how to explain to the police, but seeing that Feng Jianguo was safe and sound, Wei Lai was relieved, and he could completely shift the responsibility to Feng Jianguo, after all, it was Feng Jianguo who led everyone into the ancient tomb, and he just went in to save people, if Feng Jianguo and the others died, it would be difficult for the remaining four of them to get rid of the guilt.
