Chapter 19: The Underground Palace

When it was confirmed that the passage was real, Huo Meng was pleasantly surprised, and at the same time cursed in his heart, who would have thought that this mechanism would be hidden at the bottom of the sarcophagus, if he didn't want to seal the giant ants, he wouldn't have found this escape passage at all.

"Wei Lai, Zhang Qiang, I found the escape route, which is at the bottom of the sarcophagus." Huo Meng didn't care that shouting loudly would attract zombies, and now he needed to find a way to lure the zombies away so that everyone could enter the passage safely.

Wei Lai kept walking in a curve, keeping a safe distance from the zombies behind him, and when he heard Huo Meng's shout, Wei Lai's face showed an expression of surprise, and he slowly approached in the direction of Huo Meng.

"The two of you will first carry Wenxiu into the sarcophagus, cover the coffin lid on the sarcophagus, leave a gap for me to enter, and when I lead the zombies away some distance, you two will quickly close the coffin lid after I come in." Wei Lai handed Wenxiu over to Zhang Qiang, explained the next details, and then lured the zombie away again.

Huo Meng put Wenxiu in the sarcophagus, and then he and Zhang Qiang began to move the coffin lid, the coffin lid made of stone was very heavy, and the two could only move one end slowly, first put one end of the coffin lid on the sarcophagus, and then push the other end.

"Okay, such a big gap is enough for Wei Lai to come in." Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang entered the inside of the sarcophagus, leaving a gap for Wei Lai to enter, and stopped the movement of the coffin lid.

"Wei Lai, throw away the package and come in quickly." After the coffin lid was moved, Huo Meng beckoned Wei Lai.

Wei Lai deliberately led the zombie to the farthest place from the sarcophagus, then took off the package behind it, increased the travel amplitude of the curve, and threw the package behind him, blocking the zombie's journey.

"Damn, hope is in a hurry." Wei Lai can't wait to have a few more legs, the zombie walks in a straight line very quickly, if he can't get the distance, and he doesn't cover the coffin after entering the sarcophagus, if the zombie enters the sarcophagus, the four of them will be sucked into dry corpses by the zombie.

Wei Lai ran desperately, not caring about the situation behind him, and after seeing the gap in the coffin lid, Wei Lai jumped up flexibly and jumped into the sarcophagus neatly.

"Close it." Wei Lai was smashed, he didn't care about the pain all over his body, and Huo Meng pushed the coffin lid hard, and when the last gap in the coffin lid was closed, he could clearly see the zombie's fangs approaching, and the fishy smell was coming.

"Whew, it's dangerous, it's just a little bit close." Wei Lai gasped for breath and rubbed his sore buttocks, if the lid of the coffin was closed a little later, the zombies might enter the sarcophagus.

Wei Lai sat in the sarcophagus, looked at the steps down, and asked Huo Meng curiously: "Mengzi, how did you find the mechanism?" According to ordinary thinking, no one will ever find this mechanism, how Huo Meng found it, Wei Lai was very curious.

When Huo Meng heard Wei Lai's inquiry, he trembled all over, and hurriedly said, "Run, I almost forgot, the human-faced giant ant is about to hatch." ”

After Huo Meng finished speaking, he picked up Wenxiu and walked towards the passage, Wei Lai's pupils contracted, and he was also afraid of the human-faced giant ants, when he saw Huo Meng's package constantly vibrating, Wei Lai couldn't care about the pain all over his body, and followed Huo Meng to the bottom.

Zhang Qiang followed closely behind the two, looked back at the package of the human-faced giant ant, and whispered, "Just throw the package out." ”

Huo Meng said remorsefully: "Who said it wasn't, I didn't think about it that much at the time, now there are zombies outside, and the coffin lid can't be opened at all, so I can only put it here." ”

The human-faced giant ant is the leader of the ant colony, Huo Meng wanted to trample it to pieces, but he always felt that it was not so easy to destroy it, if he did not succeed in destroying the eggs, it would be more dangerous to help them hatch, and it was a good choice to put him in the sarcophagus.

The passage in the sarcophagus is made of black stairs, straight down, the dark space is silent, the footsteps continue to echo in the passage, the walls are smooth and flat, without any patterns and carvings, it looks plain.

However, Huo Meng's expression was very solemn, and every time he stepped on a new staircase, he carefully tempted, for fear that an accident would happen, Huo Meng's reaction attracted the attention of Wei Lai and Zhang Qiang, and both of them also understood Huo Meng's approach, because the three of them walked all the way, the bizarre and weird in the ancient tomb were everywhere, and only extra care could survive.

After experiencing the experience of the ancient tomb, Huo Meng's temperament has changed a lot, he is not as reckless as before, he is timid and can overcome his fear at a critical moment, and can think calmly, in the tomb, if Huo Meng does not hit the zombie in time, Zhang Qiang will definitely be bitten off by the zombie.

"The more ordinary the place, the more there will be mechanisms, so let's be cautious." When everyone walked down the stairs, Huo Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and when they saw the scene in front of them, everyone stood on the spot.

The majestic palace is located on a huge platform, the top is arc-shaped, connected to the upper stone wall, the color of the top is red, which is very different from the roofs of other places, and the palace is built around it, and the front of the temple is neatly arranged with stone statues of soldiers and carriage horses, and all kinds of spears and swords are rusty due to moisture.

The glazed roof paved with glazed tiles emitted a pale light, illuminating the entire space, and the horned beast of the eaves held a huge satin white sail, which was depicted with bright red handwriting, and the handwriting on many white sails was the same, which Wei Lai carefully identified as the bloody word "seal".

"I'm afraid this is not a cemetery, but an altar to suppress evil spirits." Wei Lai recovered from the shock, combined with the experience in the ancient tomb, and came to a final conclusion.

"Suppress the wraiths, altar?" Huo Meng was puzzled, and couldn't believe that the palace in front of him was only used to suppress resentful spirits.

Wei Lai's expression was cautious, and he said in a deep voice: "Look at the top of the largest palace, do you feel very familiar, if my guess is correct, it is the altar that leads to meet Feng Jianguo, and the color of the top is different from the other roofs, but the blood flowing above the altar is stained red." ”

Zhang Qiang interrupted Wei Lai's words and said in shock: "The five stone gates at the altar, is there no way to live at all, and the passage behind the stone gates will lead to the tomb with zombies?" ”

Wei Lai nodded and continued: "That's right, the real gateway to the main tomb is the altar, and the five stone gates are all mortal paths, when Li Yutao's living corpse appeared, everyone fled in a hurry, and no one cared about the central altar at all." ”

"Then why do you say that this is the place to suppress the resentful spirits?" Huo Meng put Wenxiu on the ground and sat on the ground to rest.

"This is the cemetery of Prince Lian Yinxi, but during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng, who dares to bury the convicted Prince Lian, let alone such a grand pomp, you must know that Prince Lian and Emperor Yongzheng failed to compete for the throne, and ended up being crushed by Emperor Yongzheng, there is only one person who can dare to bury Prince Lian, that is, Emperor Yongzheng himself, and then look at the white sails around depicted ' The word 'seal', as well as the altar and the five-element gossip diagram, are most likely to be used to suppress the resentful soul of Prince Lian, and as we all know, Emperor Yongzheng is an emperor who advocates superstition, and there are many Taoist priests around him, and in his early years, he claimed to be the first idler in the world, and it is very likely that he can do something to suppress the resentful soul. ”

Wei Lai pointed to the temple and the soldier's horse, walked to the nearest soldier's stone statue, looked at the broken part of the stone statue, and saw that there was actually a dry bone inside, Wei Lai's scalp was numb, and goosebumps were on his body.

"These soldier statues were carved by living people." The skeleton inside the stone statue is intact, apparently a stone statue of a terracotta warrior made by wrapping the outside of a living person in stone slurry.

"What?" Huo Meng couldn't believe it, and wanted to come forward to verify, but when he saw the skeleton inside the terracotta warriors, Huo Meng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what was in front of him.

"The ancient emperor could do anything, not at all what we see in the book" Zhang Qiang sighed, shook his head and sighed.

Wei Lai returned to the place where Wenxiu was, looking at Wenxiu, who was still demented, Wei Lai frowned, and said with some embarrassment: "According to what Feng Jianguo said, Wenxiu should have encountered something fearful, and he became like this because he was frightened." ”

Wei Lai had his own plans, he originally wanted to find a safe place and use his glazed pendant to help Wenxiu recover his mind, but the things in the ancient tomb continued one after another, and they could only keep running for their lives.

"Help me lift her up, I'll try to wake him up." Wei Lai took out the black talisman and the glazed pendant, and began to concentrate, and the three soul fires on his body became vigorous.

Wei Lai placed five black talismans around Wenxiu to form a pocket-sized five-element diagram, then took out the glazed pendant, wrapped it with the black talisman, and printed it on Wenxiu's forehead.

The glazed pendant can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and can keep the spirit awake, Wei Lai often wears the glazed pendant, and feels that his soul fire continues to grow, obviously, the glazed pendant also has the effect of nourishing the soul fire.

Wen Xiu's dull eyes slowly appeared, his painful expression returned to calm, his eyes slowly closed, and when he opened them again, he looked at Wei Lai and the others in confusion, and said, "Where is this, you guys?" ”

After Wen Xiu finished speaking, he covered his head with his hands and screamed in horror, obviously recalling the terrible things he encountered, after a long time, Wen Xiu slowly raised his head, tears appeared on his face, and asked suspiciously: "You saved me?" Li Guangming didn't kill you? ”

"Ah, Li Guangming?" Wei Lai and the three of them were stunned for a moment by what Wen Xiu said, and then reacted and asked curiously: "You mean, Li Yutao killed by Li Guangming?" ”

When Wei Lai mentioned Li Yutao, Wen Xiu's face instantly turned pale, and he calmed down for a long time before he said: "You don't believe it, I saw something terrible in the ancient tomb." ”

Huo Meng and Wei Lai Zhang Qiang looked at each other, how terrifying what they had experienced, others would not know, and they were embarrassed to interrupt Wen Xiu's words, and motioned for Wen Xiu to continue.

Wenxiu plucked up his courage and said: "Outside the ancient tomb, I was woken up by them in the early morning, saying that I would leave you and secretly enter the ancient tomb, if you don't agree, you will be abandoned by them, out of curiosity, I followed into the ancient tomb, when I walked to the big ding, there were a lot of ancient jade treasures piled up in the big ding, and everyone began to divide equally, and then when they walked to the gate, Li Yutao was timid and wanted to go back, Li Guangming and he had some relatives, so he dissuaded him not to leave, then everyone rested for a while, because I wanted convenience, just me was a woman, I walked far away, and when I saw Li Guangming and Li Yutao walking towards me, they didn't find me because of the darkness in the tomb, and then the two seemed to have a broken down, so Li Yutao walked out, and Li Guangming smashed something on the back of Li Yutao's head, and then took it off to the big ding. ”

Wei Lai's eyes lit up and said: "That's right, we saw obvious traces of the corpse dragging at Dading, it turned out that this is the case, then the business card in Li Yutao's hand was Li Guangming who framed Feng Jianguo, that's right." ”

Wen Xiu pursed her lips, her body trembled a little, and her voice trembled a little and said: "I was very scared, I didn't know if Li Guangming had other accomplices, so I didn't dare to tell everyone, when Li Guangming came back, I wanted to cover up the past, but the next scene made me can't remember anything, and I woke up here." ”

"What's that?" Huo Meng asked suspiciously.

"Maybe you don't believe it, I saw Li Yutao's ghost lying behind Li Guangming, rushing at ...... Towards me...... Hideous laughter. After Wenxiu finished speaking, she covered her head again and fell into a state of loss of control.

Wei Lai picked up the glazed pendant and went to Wenxiu to seal it, and when Wenxiu regained his composure again, he said: "When I was at the altar, I said a word to Li Guangming, I asked him if he felt that his back was very heavy, and at that time I found that there was something unclean behind Li Guangming's back, but I didn't expect it to be Li Yutao's ghost." ”

Huo Meng and Zhang Qiang absolutely believed in Wei Lai, Wei Lai comforted Wenxiu a few words, and then briefly recounted his experience in the ancient tomb, which frightened Wenxiu, only to find that the ancient tomb was so weird, and what she experienced herself was not worth mentioning at all.

"No, Li Yutao's ghost is behind Li Guangming, so what is Li Yutao's living corpse, it is impossible to have two Li Yutao ghosts." Huo Meng found the problem.

Wei Lai frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said uncertainly: "I can't say this clearly, but this kind of place is the most gloomy, and it is also the most weird thing that is most likely to happen, if I guess correctly, Li Yutao's living corpses are those ghosts in the burial pit, their bodies are eaten by ant colonies, and the remaining remnants of resentful souls gather into huge resentments, attached to Li Yutao's corpse, and want to kill everyone in the ancient tomb." ”

Wei Lai's words are very reasonable, it is normal for strange things to appear in the ancient tomb, when everyone was about to pack their luggage, a strange sound came from the sarcophagus passage above, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the sound of knocking on the stairs could be clearly heard.

"Run, run, it's a giant ant with a human face, he hatched successfully."
