My guess is not wrong, the two skeletons did act as guards during their lifetime, and what they guarded was a tomb.

After crossing these two holes, we reached a burial chamber.

The tomb is semicircular in shape, with a diameter of more than 30 meters, and the corridor we walked across the tomb.

There is a coffin in the center, the lid of which is only half covered. Beside the coffin, sits a skeleton holding a dagger.

What surprised me even more was the skeleton's attire.

Dragon robe, and it is exactly the same as the one worn by the fire monkey.

The fire monkey also noticed this, and immediately took off the dragon robe on his body. Compared with the skeleton, his face suddenly became a little more exciting, and then he folded the dragon robe and put it on the coffin lid.

His respectful appearance made me want to laugh.

But at this time, I am even more curious. Throughout history, the more powerful people, most of them will build their tombs magnificently, especially the tombs of emperors. The scale and burial objects are beyond the reach of ordinary people. compared with.

And the skeleton in front of us is probably the Prince Loulan back then.

But why did the majestic Prince Loulan, the king of a country, die alone in such a place?And there is nothing in these tombs except for a coffin and the dagger in the skeleton's hand.

This is a bit too bleak to die, right?

Curiously, I walked up to the skeleton and took the dagger from his hand. After thousands of years, this dagger is still shining with cold light and extremely sharp. It is indeed a royal thing.

It was at this time that I suddenly discovered that there were tiny writings engraved on the side wall of the coffin.And these ancient characters give me a very familiar feeling.

The words of the Honglu people!

All of a sudden, I felt something unusual.

The sudden disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, which has risen and fallen for thousands of years, is also related to the Honglu people?
I couldn't help but look at the skeleton again. It looked like an ordinary person, but I didn't stop there, and raised my hand to lift off the dragon robe on him.

"Why are you pulling the dead man's clothes?"

The fire monkey asked suspiciously from the side.

But what I saw was too shocking, and for a moment I was not in the mood to answer the fire monkey's questions.

The tailbone of this skeleton is about two palms long, and the spine is short and multi-segmented, with as many as 36 joints in its spine.

"Huh..."

The surprised voice of the fire monkey came from behind, which brought me back to my senses from my messy thoughts, and I quickly set my sights on the writing on the coffin. After blowing off the dust on it, the writing became very clear.

Although there are individual small characters on it that I don't recognize, I still vaguely understand what the dead Prince Loulan wants to tell.

Thousands of years ago, the last prince who was about to ascend the throne of emperor was the skeleton in front of me.

All his clan members were from Honglu and believed in God King Lu, but no one had seen God King Lu since the second emperor of Loulan, as if God King had forgotten them.

When he was young, he suffered from a strange disease, and his body developed abnormally rapidly. Later, the imperial doctor told him that he would not live for 30 years at most.

Just when he was in despair, he remembered the legend left by his ancestors, the legend about divine grace,

Since then, he has gone crazy, trying to find the trace of God King Lu, in order to ask for God's favor.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any clues. Until he was 29 years old, when he was about to reach the end of the prophesied life span, he became a little crazy, disregarding the last words of his ancestors, and launched a war.

However, on the day when the war ended, God King Lu appeared.

Although the god king he had dreamed of appeared for only a short moment, it was enough to make him ecstatic. Unfortunately, what he got was not the divine grace that made him immortal, but the divine punishment.

Dark clouds cover the sun, smoke and dust fill the sky, there is nowhere to hide...

The handwriting ends here.

The side of the coffin was engraved with densely packed small characters, and when I read them all, the fire monkey had already dozed off bored.

"Let's go."

I stood up, put the dagger on my waist, and said to the fire monkey.

"What was written on the coffin?"

"The cause of his death."

"How did he die?"

The fire monkey suddenly became interested and asked curiously.

"I did it myself."

I glanced at the corpse and walked towards the other end of the corridor connecting the tomb.

The last words of the Loulan prince only explained his own life and the reasons for the fall of ancient Loulan, but it was not of much use to me.

The top priority now is to find a way to get out of here first.

But after walking for a long time, I found that the air here is getting more and more humid, and the blue bricks under my feet are even a little slippery, and it is easy for people to stumble if they are not careful.

"water leakage?"

The fire monkey touched the wall of the corridor, looked at the water stains on his hands and murmured.

My heart can't help but become a little heavy. Now that we are in this underground passage, we have no way out. If we encounter any crisis here, we can only wait to die on the spot.

But different from what I imagined, the next journey is still stable, and there is no crisis.

Until the road ahead begins to show a downward slope...

The [-]-degree downhill slope is already extremely steep, and with the wet and slippery green bricks under your feet, the corridor in front of you looks like a slide. You can't see the bottom with the flashlight. Once you go down, it will be even more difficult to get up again. Difficult.

Moreover, the temperature here has also become very low, and even makes people shiver uncontrollably.

"You first or me first?"

The fire monkey swallowed and said.

I didn't answer his question, but took off my jacket and put it under my buttocks, and sat on the ground and moved forward a few inches.

Immediately afterwards, I slid down the passage.

The speed is not very fast, but it can't stop at all.

The most unbearable thing for me is the temperature here. Based on the feeling on the body surface, I estimate that the temperature here may be close to zero.

You must know that we were still in the desert before, and the clothes on our bodies were very thin.

But for a moment, I felt that my feet seemed to have touched the cold liquid, and then I fell into it with a plop. I was caught off guard and swallowed several mouthfuls suddenly.

water!
The cold liquid entered my throat, which cheered me up, but then a chill gushed out of my stomach.

Could there be nematode eggs in this water?
I was thinking that as soon as I jumped onto the water to take a breath, a beam of light hit my face directly, and then there was the sound of the fire monkey.

"Step aside!"

But now that I'm in the water, there's no time to escape.

The fire that was drawn down the corridor hit me, and then I fell into the water again, deeper than before.

In the water, I saw a light coming from far away, very blurry.

Is this light coming from the flashlight in the fire monkey's hand?
