"Shalala......" seemed to be thousands of centipedes rubbing against the wall, the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was gathering towards the side hall, Liu Hanyuan heard that his scalp was numb, and exclaimed: "Everyone, pay attention, there is a swarm of insects!"

The thieves looked up blankly, and after being stunned for a while, they hesitated: "It's so weird, where are so many bugs?"

Liu Lao Er said solemnly: "It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, everyone leave quickly!"

Everyone didn't care about the funeral goods full of pits, hurriedly picked up a few valuable things, and followed Liu Lao Er towards the back door. When he rushed out of the side hall, he listened to it again, and found that the sound of insects did not follow, Liu Lao Er breathed a sigh of relief, held the compass in his hand and said, "Let's go to the main tomb in the north and open the coffin to touch the treasure." ”

"Good. Liu Hanyuan replied quickly, the torch could only shine on his body, looking at the dark tomb, his eyes were a little cautious.

Under the leadership of Liu Lao Er, the team marched against the wall, and at each point, they smoked arrows with flames to prevent them from getting lost when they turned back. Go around the corner, repeat dozens of steps, and a gate appears in front of you, inlaid with gold and jade, majestic and magnificent.

"Arrived at the main tomb. Liu Lao Er raised his head and looked up and down, but there was no trace of the mechanism, so he tried to push the door, and with a little force, he found that the central gap was loose, and said happily: "If you can push, everyone will take a hand." ”

Everyone held torches in one hand and one palm against the door, shouting: "One, two, go!"

The door slowly opened with a rumbling sound, revealing a three-foot gap, and a light flashed in front of it, and nine oily eyes hung in the air, illuminating half of the tomb.

"What the hell is that?!" Liu Hanyuan exclaimed, taking a few steps back.

Liu Lao Er raised his eyes and looked at it, then smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "That's the pearl of the night, look at you bear-like." ”

Liu Hanyuan looked closely, and there were indeed nine night pearls on the ceiling, all of which were the size of fists, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he took the lead in getting into the door, muttering and complaining: "Damn, rich people like to make pies, which scares Lao Tzu." ”

"Haha. Liu Lao Er laughed heartily and walked into the tomb. When the rest of the people saw the baby, they didn't wait for him to greet him, and they swarmed in, staring at the night pearl overhead, their faces greedy.

"Second brother. One of the thieves said intently, "We'll have to find a way to get a few of them, and we'll be rich." ”

The companions took out the rope and were eager to try, but Liu Lao Er waved his hand and interrupted: "Wait, there seems to be someone over there?"

Hearing his solemn tone, the thieves suddenly changed color, and they all looked around, and saw a humanoid object hanging in the center of the room, with three arm-thick iron chains wrapped around their wrists and waist, leading to the rock wall.

"Stand back. Liu Lao Er's words were slightly vibrato, as the team leader, at this time he had to muster up his courage, stepped closer to the ghost, raised the torch and took a look: it was a statue with a human face and an eagle body, eight feet high, with knees bent back, sharp claws on his feet, and black feathers all over his body, lifelike.

"What kind of statue is this?" asked a grave robber as he walked up to him.

Liu Hanyuan frowned and said, "I remember seeing it before—it's on the mural at the entrance." ”

"Do all this stuff to scare people. Another man interjected, but he was secretly relieved.

Liu Laoer's eyes moved downward, but he saw that there was a sarcophagus at the bottom of the statue's feet, about half a zhang wide, the cover plate was thick, and the surface was engraved with strange inscriptions, crooked, it should be an exotic language.

"Whew, I've found it. He let out a short sigh, threw the torch aside, put his hands on the lid of the coffin, and nodded to the crowd.

The thieves immediately surrounded him, and at the same time exerted their strength to help him push open the lid of the coffin, Liu Hanyuan picked up the torch to illuminate it, and there was only a tattered clothes and a jade box inside, and the bones had long been rotten without a trace.

Liu Laoer's eyes were sharp, and he stretched out his hand to take out the jade box, and at this moment, there was a loud noise overhead, three iron chains were loosened at the same time, and the eagle-faced statue fell violently.

"Be careful!" Liu Hanyuan shouted urgently, dragged Uncle Liu away, and the statue smashed down next to their noses, stuck straight into the coffin, and stood still.

"I almost lost my life...... Liu Lao Er escaped death, wiping the sweat on his forehead, trembling in his legs and abdomen, only to feel afraid for a while.

He looked down at his arms, fortunately the jade box was still there, if he let go just now, the three hundred taels of silver would have to be soaked.

Liu Hanyuan sat paralyzed for a moment, gasped for breath, and stood up staggeringly, before he could be verbose, the stone statue opened its eyes, and purple light bloomed in its pupils.

The dust that had accumulated into the shell of the "Gala ......" for a long time was mottled and shattered from its body, revealing a muscular body, broad shoulders and a thin waist, and the whole was an inverted triangle.

The eagle demon shook off its wings, flapped its wings and flew up, carrying a high dust, its eyes coldly swept over everyone, and its mouth let out a sharp howl, and swooped down.

One of the hapless bastards was caught by the shoulders and lifted into the air, screaming in fright. The eagle demon tore apart with its claws, tearing it in half alive, and splattering flesh and blood.

"The monster is alive!" the crowd was so frightened that they immediately turned around and ran, stumbling towards the gate.

Liu Hanyuan was young and fast, and he was busy pulling Uncle Liu to grab the road and run wildly, and as soon as he jumped over the door, he heard a miserable scream from behind, which stopped abruptly, and another companion was poisoned by the eagle demon.

As soon as the remaining seven people ran back to the side hall, the surrounding walls suddenly swelled and cracked, and countless black beetles poured out, covering the ground like a tide, pressing one pile after another, and surrounded them.

Liu Hanyuan held back his nausea, forced back the swarm with a torch, pulled Uncle Liu's arm, and rushed out of the palace without looking back.

"Wait for me!" cried the last fat thief in the group, instantly swallowed by the sea of worms, leaving only one arm to struggle.

Thousands of black beetles covered his body, burrowing through his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and weaving under his skin, tearing at his flesh. The fat thief puffed up and opened his mouth to call for help, but he didn't expect the insects to enter more and more, and in the blink of an eye, he was eaten into a wreckage and killed on the spot.

When the others heard the screams, they dared to turn back and rushed out of the side hall in a panic. Liu Hanyuan's face was full of horror, and he suddenly stepped on the square bricks on the soles of his feet, and two rock walls squeezed from the left and right, and the rumbling sound was endless.

After running for more than ten steps, seeing that the aisle in front of him was getting narrower and narrower, Liu Hanyuan gritted his teeth fiercely, pushed Uncle Liu forward, and fell out of the tunnel even rolling over.

Liu Hanyuan shook his head and gasped, and was about to step to catch up, when a thief slammed into him, ran to the tunnel by himself, and ran halfway, his body was stuck by the squeezed wall, and he couldn't advance or retreat, so he hurriedly turned around and begged: "Brother Liu, help me!"

Liu Hanyuan hesitated for a few breaths, and finally chose to ignore his previous suspicions, and quickly grabbed his hand and pulled it out. He had barely dragged a few inches before the thief was crushed by the wall, his features slowly deformed, and then with a scream, his skull exploded, his chest shattered, and he turned into a puddle of flesh.

"Boom!" The wall closed, blood seeped out along the gap, Liu Hanyuan fell to the ground in fright, still dragging half of his arm in his hand, stunned, and disheartened.

The words were divided into two ends, Liu Lao Er rushed forward and fell to the ground, fell lightly, rubbed his waist and groaned and stood up. Hurriedly turned around, and saw the wall closing, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he pounced on it and roared, "Nephew——!"

Several thieves who had escaped death stopped and surrounded him and persuaded: "Second brother, your nephew is not saved, let's go quickly." ”

"Woo...... O my nephew!" he knelt on the ground, and raised his head with a weeping face, his face full of old tears, and his heart was broken.

"Alas. One of the thieves lifted him up, shaking his head and sighing.

Liu Lao Er stood up straight, restrained his grief, and was about to leave with them, when he heard a sharp whistling overhead. When he looked up, he saw a two-foot gap above the wall, and the eagle demon bare his head, supporting the ceiling with his wings, and moving his body out a little bit, trying to crawl out of the slit.

The crowd was like frightened birds, and they jumped away in fright. Liu Lao Er was angry from his heart, pointed at the eagle demon and scolded: "You flat-haired beast dare to harm my nephew, Lao Tzu will burn your bird's nest next time!"

The eagle demon felt the provocation and howled in protest, keeping his eyes on the jade box in his hand. Liu Laoer's eyes lit up, and he had an epiphany: "It's all because of this and graceful, and everyone was buried in the ancient tomb......"

He lifted the jade box, smashed it into the gap, and said angrily, "you!"

The box bounced a few times and landed on the other side of the wall. Sure enough, the Eagle Demon gave up on the people who were close at hand, walked backwards, and turned around to chase the box.

"Second brother, what kind of treasure is there?" asked a tomb robber sharply, his tone reproachful.

"I don't know. Liu Lao Er shook his head, his expression was gloomy, as if he had been old for ten years, and he was tired in his bones.

The thief glared at him with resentment, spat at him, crept to the end, and took out a dagger, ready to stab him in the waistcoat to vent his indignation.

The thief was just about to make a move, when the soles of his feet suddenly stepped into the air, the floor cracked without warning, and the whole person fell weightlessly, snorted a few times, and was pierced into meat skewers by the gun, and died in Huangquan.

When Liu Lao Er heard the movement, he turned around sharply, and then saw this horrible scene: the fellow was hanging on the tip of the gun at the bottom of the pit, and the iron blade pierced his chest and thighs, blood gurgling, spasmodizing, and his lips sobbing and dying.

The two thieves who walked in the front turned their heads when they heard the sound, and they were distracted by the accident, and kicked the tripwire without paying attention, and the iron arrows on both sides poured out.

As soon as the abnormal noise started, Liu Lao Er guessed the result, but the rescue was too late, so he could only watch the iron arrow shoot them into a sieve.

The other thief sat down in amazement, letting the urine wash his crotch and not even screaming. Today, only two of the nine people in the tomb remain, plus the women who were letting off the wind outside, almost all of them have been wiped out.

......

Since then, Liu Lao Er has been seriously ill for several days when he returned home, drinking all day without leaving his hands, wandering in a brothel and gambling hall in despair, squandering half of his life savings, just to forget his inner sorrow.

On this day, he came to the abandoned alley in the east of the city as promised. A masked man listened to what he had said, and asked with anger, "Did you leave the jade box in the ancient tomb?"

"Hehe, uh~" Liu Lao Er burped and said with a drunken voice: "Lao Tzu died of his nephew, how can he care about anything else!" ”

He pulled out a crumpled silver ticket and shook it and handed it over. The masked man stretched out his hand to catch it, looking at the other party's sluggish appearance, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he coldly pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed him into the heart like lightning.

Liu Laoer's chest was cold, he woke up for three minutes, stared at the half-blood-stained blade, and said in a trembling voice: "Why did you kill me?"

"Waste. The man said coldly, twisting his wrist, crushing his liver and taking his life.
