Chapter 20: A dilemma

Huo Meng shouted loudly, he was the first to react, and when he heard a strange noise in the sarcophagus passage, he thought that the human-faced giant ant had successfully hatched, and when he thought of the disgusting and terrifying giant ant, everyone didn't even have the courage to resist.

"Follow me, let's go inside the palace and out from the altar." Wei Lai pointed to the majestic underground palace in the center and led everyone to flee quickly.

Wei Lai wants to find the Soul Suppression Nail, and now his last hope is in the dungeon, if there is no one in the dungeon, he can also reach the altar above from the top of the dungeon, which is the only way for everyone to go out.

In addition to Wenxiu, Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang also understand the truth, they have experienced many bizarre things in the ancient tomb, and they can't wait to leave the ancient tomb as soon as possible.

Soon after everyone left, the face of a human poked out of the sarcophagus passage, and the face was connected to the body of an ant, which looked very terrifying and weird, the giant ant was the size of a dog, with two huge fangs in its mouth, and the green black body with red spots, obviously with poison.

The human-faced giant ant appeared in the dungeon, the human face swayed from side to side, sniffing the breath around him, when he saw the direction, he chased towards the place where Wei Lai and the others left, and the six feet with fluffy barbs quickly stepped on, and the body moved quickly.

Wei Lai walked in the front, holding a glass pendant in his hand to explore the road, Huo Meng behind him remained vigilant, always on guard against the organs in the underground palace, Zhang Qiang and Wen Xiu fell last, holding their breath nervously, not daring to disturb Wei Lai and Huo Meng's actions.

Passing through the terracotta statues and coming to the door of the palace, Wei Lai breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to everyone: "I explained in advance that the purpose of my visit this time is to find the soul straining nail, if there is a soul settling nail in the palace, I hope you can help me get it, if not, I will take everyone out, but you must follow my command." ”

Wei Lai's words were mainly said to Wen Xiu, after all, Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang completely trusted themselves, Wei Lai needed to explain to Wen Xiu that this palace was the most important existence of the ancient tomb, if they were in danger because of Wen Xiu's private actions, it would be too late for Wei Lai to regret it, so it was necessary to explain it in advance.

Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang instantly understood Wei Lai's intentions and immediately expressed their support, while Wen Xiu was curious about why the two obeyed Wei Lai so much, but they could only promise Wei Lai, saying that they would not act privately.

The gates of the palace were closed, the heavy doors were still bright and vermilion, and instead of stone lions, black and white statues of impermanence were placed in the doorways, holding chains and awls in their hands, their tongues hanging to the ground, and their towering hats were very peculiar.

Wei Lai and the others kept groping, not even letting go of the black and white statue of impermanence, trying to find the mechanism to enter the palace, when Wei Lai walked to the vermilion bronze door, and after pulling the knocker vigorously, the door made a clicking sound and slowly moved open.

"Stand back, everybody." Wei Lai's expression was cautious, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

When the vermilion bronze door was completely opened, Wei Lai saw that there was no accident, and squinted his eyes to look at the inside of the gate, the standard royal court structure, and all kinds of furnishings and utensils were beautiful, as if he was in a royal palace. However, in such a beautiful design, the gossip diagram on the floor seems abrupt and incompatible with the overall layout.

When Wei Lai and the others saw that there was no danger, they stepped into the palace, and there was a mural on the wall, which was the portrait of Prince Lian himself, and there was nothing protruding in this floor.

Looking at the exquisite porcelain and incense burner, Wei Lai and the others swallowed and smeared, and suppressed the greedy **, you must know that these things are priceless, and you can exchange them for a lot of wealth if you take them out, and anyone will be greedy, but these things are inconvenient to carry, and there is a living corpse of Li Yutao on the altar, and compared with these heavy antique cultural relics, it is more important to have your own life.

"Let's go." Wei Lai's eyes swept around, and he didn't find any small antiques, so he took the lead and walked upstairs.

Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang hesitated for a moment, reluctantly looked at the cultural relics around them, and followed Wei Lai's footsteps in frustration, while Wenxiu got some jewelry and cultural relics in Dading, although it was not very valuable, but it was also a big gain, so they did not miss the antiques around them.

"We've called the police, it's best not to touch these conspicuous things, if you find something inconspicuous and valuable, you can take them out." Wei Lai walked in front and said to the three people behind him.

Stepping on the second floor of the attic, the layout inside is very simple, it is still the standard specification of the royal family, but the gossip map on the ground has been replaced by a strange formation, the color of the demon red is still bright, as if the blood is as charming, the formation is all over the ground, and there is a huge mourning bell in the center, the ancient vicissitudes of life, the whole body is rusty, and the bottom of the mourning bell is the base of the green bricks, and the green bricks are huge and gossip.

Huo Meng looked at the big bell and said, "If a person lies down, he can just enter the inside of the mourning bell, and the zombies can block it." ”

"It's ...... Mourning Bell. Huo Meng turned around, saw that Wei Lai's face was wrong, and asked suspiciously.

"That's right, the so-called soul-losers, wandering in the earthly underworld, there are no physical remains in the yang world, and the underworld does not accept the soul, when there is a remnant soul and a wild soul, this bell will sound by itself, and the soul of the living will be scattered after hearing it, and the qi is weak." In Wei Lai's mind, information about the Dead Bell came flooding out.

Huo Meng was just about to approach the Mourning Bell, when he heard Wei Lai say this, he timidly stepped back, patted his chest and said, "It's better for me to touch this kind of unclean thing." ”

Wei Lai nodded and said: "Actually, this kind of thing rarely appears, and it only exists in the deep mountains and broken temples, I wonder why there is a mourning bell here, is it the suppression of Prince Lian's soul?" ”

Wei Lai thought for a moment, and then patted his head self-deprecatingly, don't think about these things if you don't understand them, as long as you find the soul suppression nail, other things have nothing to do with you, even if you think about it, there is no benefit.

Huo Meng kept searching for the mechanism, Wei Lai was just about to laugh at him, but he didn't expect to be really found by him, and took out the ancient silk from it, with a map carved on it, Huo Meng excitedly stuffed the silk into his pocket, and seemed to want to take it out.

When Wei Lai and the three of them saw it, they showed a look of disdain on their faces, and then their eyes shook around, looking for something that was convenient to carry, Wen Xiu found a wooden comb made of red nan wood, and Zhang Qiang buckled a piece of square jade on the wooden table.

Wei Lai carefully distinguished the breath, came to the place where the yang energy was strongest in the house, found the enshrined sword-shaped mold in the most secret mechanism, and finally found the cyan ancient ring in the sword-shaped mold, which did not have any jewelry and jade, only carved with mysterious and simple texture veins.

Under such a secret mechanism, this cyan ancient ring must be extraordinary, when Wei Lai was about to study, there was a sudden vibration downstairs, and the strange sound became clearer and clearer, and it was constantly approaching the second floor, and this voice was particularly familiar, just like the sound of the sarcophagus passage.

"Oh no, the human-faced giant ants are coming, let's hurry up to the top floor." Wei Lai hurriedly woke up and found that they were in a state of greed just now, wanting to find more treasures, and delaying the search for the Soul Suppression Nail.

Wei Lai was very remorseful and didn't remind everyone to set off earlier, but when faced with many cultural relics, as long as people are greedy, just like tomb robbers, they were not designed to die by the mechanism of the ancient tomb, but because of greed.

The appearance of the human-faced giant ant made several people panic, and under Wei Lai's reminder, everyone fled towards the top floor of the temple, and when they stepped on the stairs on the top floor, the scene in front of them made the four of them completely frightened.

The top floor of the hall is not decorated, and there is a crimson coffin in the empty hall, in front of the coffin, the living corpse Li Yutao is eating a corpse, judging from the broken clothes, the corpse is Li Guangming Undoubtedly, the clicking sound echoes in the hall, stimulating everyone's nerves.

The living corpse Li Yutao seemed to sense the breath of the living, and slowly raised his head, the remaining flesh and blood at the corners of his mouth were dripping with blood, his empty eyes were lifeless, the corners of his mouth were grinning and chewing, and red and white colors gushed out between his teeth, which was obviously Li Guangming's brain.

When he felt that a living person appeared, the living corpse Li Yutao stood up, threw down Li Guangming's corpse, and approached Wei Lai and the others, his movements were more flexible than those of zombies, and there were even living expressions, which looked extremely terrifying.

Everyone was at the top of the stairs, looking at the living corpse approaching quickly, and the instant reaction was to retreat, but there was a clear sound downstairs, and the human-faced giant ants were getting closer and closer, blocking the way for everyone to retreat, and fell into a desperate dilemma.
