Chapter 40: Huo Meng disappears

Wei Lai's heart became more and more chaotic, and Liuli Pei slowly emitted a cold touch, which calmed Wei Lai's emotions a little, the most important thing now is to find Huo Meng, not to think nonsense here, the more time delayed, the more Huo Meng's life is in danger.

"Find the mechanism first." Wei Lai carried the ancient sword and kept groping on the pagoda.

Wei Lai first searched the stone wall inside, the huge stone wall was smooth and clean, as if it was a whole piece, there was nothing peculiar, just when Wei Lai shook his head and gave up, a depression in the stone wall caught his attention.

The huge stone wall is blocked in front of it, and although the depression is very abrupt, it is difficult to find if you don't look closely, and it is very small compared to the entire stone wall.

The depression looks messy, but it has a specific pattern, and the veins at the edges are angular and chaotic, and there are fixed lines implied in the chaos. Wei Lai decided that this was where the opening mechanism was, and after exhausting all kinds of methods, the depression seemed to be a simple stone wall, and there was no reaction at all, but it made Wei Lai's hand hurt.

"That's how it should be." Wei Lai was a little anxious, the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous Huo Meng became, except for entering the depths of the cemetery, Wei Lai couldn't think of where Huo Meng would go, you must know that the back has been annihilated by the viscous liquid, and the only way forward is to move forward.

Wei Lai's heart was full of doubts, if Huo Meng entered the cemetery, then how did he find the mechanism, or was it not the mechanism that Huo Meng found at all, but some kind of accident and other circumstances?

There was still no movement in the depression of the stone wall, Wei Lai was unwilling to give up his action, and cast his eyes on the two pagodas, in addition to the huge stone wall, the most likely hidden mechanism is the two abrupt pagodas.

In the entire area, only two pagodas were the only buildings, combined with the strange illusion just now, Wei Lai turned his attention to the pagoda, and even began to look forward to it in his heart.

The pagoda is not very tall, but it is also two meters high, Wei Lai began to grope from the base of the pagoda, but found nothing, in the end, Wei Lai set his eyes on the portrait of the pagoda, the portrait of the human face is already his own face at this time, empty eyes and the corners of the mouth upturned, so that Wei Lai's heart is furious, but in order to find the mechanism, Wei Lai swallowed and spit, ruthlessly, stretched out his hand to the mouth and eyes of the portrait.

The mouth of the face portrait looks very weird, but there is nothing strange about it to the touch, Wei Lai tried to break his mouth and blow, but he couldn't shake it, and he couldn't help but dispel the idea of the face and lips, and touched towards the eyes at a higher place.

When Wei Lai touched the eyes of the face portrait, he found that the hollow eyes were sunken in them, Wei Lai's expression was excited, he stood on tiptoe and tried to put his hand in smoothly, and the tips of his fingers actually touched something that could move, Wei Lai's heart trembled.

"Is it a mechanism?" Wei Lai kept shaking, moving up and down, pushing back and forth, but the whole area didn't have any movement.

Wei Lai used his hand hard, and then twisted his wrist hard, and actually broke the things inside, and then took it out smoothly, Wei Lai used a searchlight to shine it, and showed a shocked look on his face, the stone he picked out was actually a jade pendant, and it was the same as the Pisces jade pendant in the package.

"This ......" Wei Lai felt that his mind could not turn, and things had changed beyond his imagination.

This Pisces jade pendant was picked up by Xu Jing in the desert outside, and was taken to his hometown to wear, and then Xu Jing began to have strange dreams, dreaming that she would become the princess of Loulan, and now there is a Pisces jade pendant here again, which makes Wei Lai feel that things are so weird, like a puzzle that is difficult to fathom.

Wei Lai took out the Pisces jade pendant in the package, and compared it with the jade pendant in the eyeball of the human face portrait, and found that the two jade pendants were exactly the same, and even the slightest difference could not be found, as if they were copied and cloned.

"Click."

Wei Lai was still comparing the two pieces of Pisces jade pendants, the two pieces of jade pendants made a crisp sound, and they were actually connected to each other, Wei Lai's heart moved, and he found that the edges of the two jade pendants after the combination seemed to be messy, but they had a fixed vein, which was very similar to the depression at the stone wall.

Wei Lai took the jade pendant to the depression of the stone wall, put the combined two pieces of Pisces jade pendant into it, and found that it was very consistent with the depression, but there was still a gap to fill the depression, Wei Lai was excited in his heart, and walked towards the pagoda.

Similarly, Wei Lai took out three jade pendants from the remaining eyes, put the five Pisces jade pendants together, and after listening to the clicking sound, they formed an inseparable disc, the size and contour were exactly the same as the depression of the stone wall.

When Wei Lai came to the stone wall, put the disc in the depression, and then turned clockwise, the stone wall vibrated violently, and the entire stone wall slowly rose, revealing the true face of the ancient tomb, and the original faint aroma instantly became intense.

Wei Lai looked at the rising stone wall, took off the Pisces disc placed on the stone wall, lifted the ancient sword and walked inside, Wei Lai turned around and looked at the pagoda, did not find anything abnormal, and thought about Huo Meng in his heart, so he left in a hurry.

When Wei Lai left the pagoda, a few drops of viscous liquid dripped from above where Huo Meng was staying, and when he looked up along the liquid, he saw that the black top was not a flat stone wall at all, but a huge cave like a hornet's nest.

There was a huge body squirming faintly in the cave, and the miserable white eyes were staring at the direction where Wei Lai had disappeared, and when Wei Lai left, the things in the cave began to become active, obviously afraid of something on Wei Lai's body.

……

Wei Lai put the disc composed of Pisces jade pendants in the package, until now he still does not understand the relationship, the simplest guess is that someone took one of the Pisces jade pendants out, for some reason lost outside, happened to be picked up by Xu Jing who passed by, and then was brought back here by himself, just with the four jade pendants in the eyes of the portrait as a whole, successfully opened the mechanism of the stone wall.

"Bah, this coincidence is harder than winning the ** lottery." Wei Lai scolded and scolded, he was able to encounter such a coincidental thing, and it was a little unbelievable to this day.

Now that Huo Meng is missing, Wei Lai can only act alone, and all he can do is to keep moving towards the ancient tomb, trying to find Huo Meng inside, Wei Lai has a vague premonition, it seems that Huo Meng is in the ancient tomb, but in what direction is unknown.

The space behind the stone wall has become even more huge, who would have thought that there is such a magnificent tomb group under the desert, the dark ancient tomb can not see the five fingers, Wei Lai is very bright with a searchlight, but he can't see the edge, which shows its huge extent.

Wei Lai was sure that the place where he was was definitely not the central area of the tomb complex, because he groped his way forward for a long time, but he did not find any signs of coffins except for scattered bones and broken wood, and in some places there were even collapses, this is like a destroyed area, maybe there were many coffins before, but for some reason they were ruthlessly destroyed.

"This aroma is so strong." As Wei Lai deepened, the humidity around him became heavier and heavier, and the lingering fragrance became stronger.

When Wei Lai was puzzled, someone behind him suddenly patted him on the shoulder, Wei Lai's instant reaction was Huo Meng, and when he turned his head to look, he found that there was nothing behind him, and there was nothing at all.

"Oops." Wei Lai secretly said in his heart, when turning back in the ancient tomb, it will cause the soul fire to weaken, and if he turns back when he encounters strange things, he will be approached by unclean things.

Wei Lai still maintained a state of turning around, and did not turn back easily, you must know that someone patted him on the shoulder just now, and because he was worried about Huo Meng, he ignored the footsteps, it stands to reason that the surroundings are very quiet, even if someone approaches him, there will be clear footsteps, but there was no sound just now.

After experiencing the hallucination, Wei Lai's thoughts were already a little confused, but he could still judge normally, and now he felt that his soul fire was shaking, and it seemed to be weakening, and Liuli Pei slowly emitted light, indicating that something unclean appeared around him.

Wei Lai lifted the ancient sword and waved it behind him, and his body also turned around with the swing of the ancient sword, at this time, Liuli Pei Qingguang was sheng, it seemed that he had encountered a ghost and a wild spirit, and took the initiative to ward off evil spirits, Wei Lai's eyes looked at it, only to see a vague black figure hit by the ancient sword, and then revealed a hideous appearance.

The black ghost's face was hideous, his scarlet eyes stared at Wei Lai, and he made a whining sound, Wei Lai's whole body instantly became cold, and when he was hit by the ancient sword, the ghost became even more blurred, the whole body was thin and transparent, and the blue light of Liulipei was shrouded, and the ghost screamed and was sucked into it by Liulipei.

When the ghost disappeared completely, the coldness on Wei Lai's body receded, and the gloomy atmosphere around him was no longer thick, Wei Lai picked up the glass pendant, only to see that the red liquid inside was even more bright red, and his squinted eyes were weird and mysterious.

Wei Lai turned around, the reason why he didn't turn back immediately, because there is an ancient legend in his hometown, that is, the sound of the night, don't respond, turn your head, don't hurry away, which means that if someone suddenly calls you in a gloomy place, and you don't answer immediately, first of all, you must identify who is calling you, and secondly, don't look back, because there are often unclean things following you on the night road, and when you turn back, the yang energy will be washed away by the yin breath, and the soul will be weakened unconsciously, and when you have turned back, it is best not to turn back easily, At this time, you need to stay calm, or regulate your breathing, so that your mind will not be disturbed.

Wei Lai remembered that in the clouds**, there was a villager who went out at night to make it convenient, and heard the neighbor couple calling his name, he answered directly, but when he agreed, he found that there was no one at all, and the next day the villager was seriously ill and depressed, and then the village chief came forward and found a hen with a cockscomb in the villager's chicken coop, as well as an otter rabbit without rabbit lips, according to the words of the village chief at the time, these things have become sperm, and if they continue to be raised, they will harm more people.
