Chapter 41: The Treasure Hall of the Dragon Tower

"Boom. Xue Ergou switched to the laser cannon mode and smashed the entire city gate with one shot.

The three of them walked towards the city, and a senior otaku in the live broadcast room: "According to my estimates, the power of this laser cannon can be adjusted." ”

Other viewers: "I can know everything, and I want you to say it." ”

Not long after passing the city gate, the three of them arrived at the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall, looking at the countless stairs in front of them, Xue Ergou was a little speechless: "What did the ancients have in their heads, so hard to work the people and waste money, just to build such a high ladder." ”

Dou Liwan: "I also feel too extravagant and wasteful. ”

"Old Xue, look over there, there is a stone stele. Xue Ergou followed the direction of Wang Mang's finger and saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the stairs.

The three of them approached, Wang Mang and Xue Ergou looked at the two words engraved on the stone tablet, a little blindfolded, and they couldn't understand it.

Xue Ergou: "Old Dou, can you understand?"

Dou Liwan didn't speak, and approached the stone tablet to observe carefully: "If I guess correctly, this is the script of Loulan Kingdom, which belongs to the Tocharian language, and these two words mean the ladder of heaven." ”

In the live broadcast room, many viewers left messages, who knows Tocharian language, at this time, a language department called the beast jumped out to popularize science for everyone.

Beast: "The language of the Loulan people is a dialect of the so-called "Tocharian language", which belongs to the Indo-European language family.

They used both scripts in ancient times:

1. As the suzerainty and garrison of the Central Plains Dynasty, the common script is Chinese characters, which can also be used by educated people in the local area, and a large number of Han, Jin and later Chinese slips have been found at the Loulan site;

The second is the "Lulu script", which is a pinyin script originating from Gandhara in northwestern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and was used in the Western Regions until the 7th century AD. ”

Xue Ergou and the three of them didn't pay too much attention to the situation in the live broadcast room, and it was important to wait for the ladder at this time.

Looking at the Dragon Tower Treasure Hall at the end of the ladder, Xue Ergou stepped directly forward, and there was nothing abnormal.

"Click. After walking for about half an hour, Xue Ergou heard a sudden sound and immediately stopped his feet that continued to move up.

"What's going on?" Xue Ergou looked back at Wang Mang and Dou Liwan, and saw that the two of them were not different, so he relieved himself.

No, it's supposed to be the ladder's mechanism activated. I made a mistake and forgot to see through the scanning ladder before.

"Knight, hurry up and scan the ladder. Xue Ergou ordered with a little anxiety.

"Okay. The knight replied, only to see Xue Ergou's back armor taken care of, and a dozen or so black circles flew out, scanning towards the ladder section by section.

Time passed little by little, and the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast room also rose.

The red light emitted by the black circle in the distance flew back one after another, and the knight: "Sir, the total number of layers of the ladder is nine hundred and ninety-nine, and there are indeed organs in it, but it does not act on the ladder, and the current data is too small to analyze and conclude." ”

Wang Mang and Dou Liwan didn't say anything, looking at Xue Ergou.

"So, it seems that the mechanism just now has only one trigger function, which is used to activate the dormant mechanism in the tomb. Xue Ergou then said, "Let's go, let's continue to wait for the ladder." ”

Two: "Okay." ”

Immediately, the speed of the three of them increased significantly, and under the increase of armor, they were not long enough to be climbed to the top of the ladder.

Above the ladder, there is a small square, and at the end is the palace gate of the treasure hall.

There is an altar in the center of the square, and there are four pillars at the four corners of the altar, and the pillars depict the picture of Ru Mao drinking blood in the time of recklessness.

There were two large tripods not far from both sides of the altar, and the three of them walked in and found that the tripod was full of black blood stains and oil stains.

Xue Ergou: "If I'm not mistaken, this Dading was originally used to refine corpse oil." ”

"It's bloody, isn't it? Wang Mang looked at the nearly one-person tall Da Ding, and couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, many viewers in the live broadcast room are the same.

Dou Liwan: "Old Xue, do you think there is any mechanism here?"

Xue Ergou looked at the surrounding environment: "This is for sacrificial use, there can't be a mechanism, let's go into the hall and take a look." ”

Wang Mang: "Lao Xue is right, what do you have to be afraid of, what are you afraid of with armor." ”

Dou Liwan smiled wryly.

Xue Ergou took the lead, pushed open the door of the main hall, and stood at the door to look at the furnishings in the hall.

After a long time, he immediately led the two into the main hall.

The main hall is empty, only a stone tablet stands alone in the center of the main hall, and no one cares about it for thousands of years.

Looking at the stele, the three of them were a little speechless, this was also helpless. Who let this stele not have a word on it?

Wang Mang: "Old Xue, what's the situation?"

Dou Liwan also agreed.

"Old Dou, you can't see it with your palms?" Xue Ergou asked rhetorically.

Dou Liwan: "I'm not omnipotent, no matter how strong my palm eye ability is, there are times when I don't know." ”

Xue Ergou: "Well, do you want to know the friends in the live broadcast room? ”

In the live broadcast room, in the face of Xue Ergou, who suddenly changed his painting style, most of the previous audience was a little uncomfortable.

In the live broadcast room:

"It's shameless, but I like it." ”

System prompt: Some, so, give the anchor a space shuttle.

Dabin Xiaohao??? "Let's talk about it. ”

System prompt: Dabin Xiaohao??? , give the anchor a Lamborghini.

Xue Ergou: "Okay, then I'll tell you the origin of this stele, this stele is called the Wordless Book of Heaven, I only know that in ancient times, when the aura of heaven and earth was not exhausted, this thing was of great use to cultivators." ”

In the live broadcast room:

Picked up his daughter-in-law: "What, the anchor, you joked, you really think this is a fantasy novel." ”

Little?: "Yes, yes, you're lying. ”

"I didn't lie to you, and I'm sure soon you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not. The tsundere Xue Ergou no longer cares about the audience in the live broadcast room.

Xue Ergou: "Let's go, let's go to the next place to have a look." ”

Wang Mang and Dou Liwan: "Hmm." ”

The three of them went out of the Dragon Tower Treasure Palace, went down the ladder, walked not far away, and saw a palace again, and the palace plaque read, the main hall of the Spirit Palace.

Entering the main hall, I saw that the entire hall was hollowed out, and an unknown black liquid was stored, and there was a stone bridge from the center of the hall to the entrance of the hall.

On each side of the stone bridge stand four huge stone pillars, on which the carved dragons and phoenixes are exquisitely carved. Each pillar is flanked by two statues, standing on both sides of the bridge with lamps.

In the dark, the visibility was not high, and no one knew what was on the other side of the stone bridge, so the three of them walked up to the stone bridge in turn.

Wang Mang walked and suddenly said: "Old Xue, come and see, this seems to be a wax figure made of living people!"

Xue Ergou, who was walking in front, did not pay attention to the statues holding lights on both sides of the stone bridge, and when he heard Wang Mang's voice, he immediately squatted and carefully inspected the statue.

"Old Xue, what the hell is this?" Wang Mang asked.

Xue Ergou was not in a hurry to return, and looked at Dou Liwan, who shook his head slightly at this, indicating that he did not know.

Xue Ergou: "Okay, friends and viewers in the live broadcast room, I'll tell you as soon as the gifts go." ”

In the live broadcast room:

My little sneakers: "You big liar. ”

System prompt: My small board shoes, give the anchor a tricycle......

Looking at the gifts that swiped the screen in the live broadcast room, Xue Ergou smiled with satisfaction: "The statues on both sides of this stone bridge are called lamp slaves." ”

Dou Liwan: "What is a lamp slave?"

Wang Mang also agreed and looked at Xue Ergou.

In the dark hall, Xue Ergou organized the words in his head: "In ancient feudal society, I liked to choose boys and girls to accompany the burial, and they were the burial objects of the owner of the tomb here. ”

Wang Mang and the audience in the live broadcast room: "Hmm"

"Just now the fat man said that these lamp slaves look like wax figures, but in fact, this is just the dust attached to the surface of the lamp slaves, they are all made of living people. Xue Ergou said and stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off the lamp slave's face.

"Old Xue, why is the color of the blood vessels under the skin of these lamp slaves wrong. Wang Mang looked at the place where Xue Ergou wiped off the dust on the lamp slave's face, and saw that the subcutaneous blood vessels were thick and hideous, and they were blue-black.

Xue Ergou: "That's why they call them lamp slaves, which is a bit cruel to say, first make a hole in the top of the person's head and pour mercury, this method is also called empowerment.

At this time, people have not yet died, but can only bear the pain, slowly suffering and dying. After the mercury cools and solidifies, it is made into a lamp slave, and it will be accompanied by the tomb owner for eternity and eternity. ”
