Sacrifice of Grave Robbers

"Erzhu is dead, which means that there are other unknown dangers here. We'd better leave now, enter the real ghost town, get that thing, and leave quickly." Yang Laoliu said, the last sentence, is Said to Xu Shaoan.

Xu Shaoan nodded, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. Along the way, out of politeness, the leaders of the three families would discuss matters with him, but this handsome and young team leader seldom expressed his opinions, and mostly listened to them without objection. The proposal of Chen Sen et al.

Walking in the labyrinth-like tunnel, it took a long time for people to realize that the ghost town below is exactly the same as what Chen Yu said above.It's just that the buildings on both sides collapsed and damaged even more, and they were in ruins.Moreover, there are lush green trees in the illusion, but now there is no shadow of half of the plants.

Ma Wenqing turned her head to Chen Yu and muttered: "Little Chen Yu, look, if the ghost towns are like this, what kind of magic weapon can there be in it? Could it be that under the queen's high-handed and brutal rule, her subjects finally couldn't help it?" Rising up, overthrowing the queen, taking valuables and fleeing elsewhere?"

Chen Yu rolled his eyes and replied: "Student Ma Wenqing, your inference is not unreasonable, but according to the situation we have traveled all the way, it may not be easy to walk out of the desert alive at that time. Secondly, no matter what happened here What, the general rulers will start to build their own tombs during their lifetime or even when they first took power. If you can find the queen’s coffin, there must be no less funerary artifacts than other places.”

Ma Wenqing, who was already tired and kept complaining, immediately straightened his back, his eyes lit up, and he searched around energetically.

Walking inside the tunnel was slower than walking outside, the ground was full of potholes, and they had to identify the route. After two hours, they finally arrived at the place where the Jade Pagoda used to be.The tunnel in front of me has become more and more spacious, and the ceiling of the cave is getting higher and higher.

In the fantasy space, there are ten huge statues in front of the Jade Pagoda, forming a fountain.There are ten life-size bronze statues here. Their clothes and expressions are all exquisite and lifelike. Chen Yu always feels that the faces of those statues that seem to be smiling but not smiling are very similar to Tian Wu's head, weird and cold.Although there is no fountain, there is a rather large cistern in the middle of the statue, and there is dark water in the cistern.

Chen Yu couldn't help but think of the giant white snake coming towards him in the pool. Looking at the pool, he felt a little scared, so he couldn't help but stood in the distance.However, the water in this pool is quite calm, even the fish can't be seen, it seems to be a pool of stagnant water.

Everyone left the pool and walked to the place where the Jade Pagoda was originally.No one saw, a white shadow flashed past in the black pool.

"Oh my god, look ahead! This is where the queen should live." Someone exclaimed.

Everyone looked up, and found that there was no jade pagoda here, and it was replaced by a huge and magnificent palace.The strong searchlight shines upwards, and it looks like a huge naturally formed cave, and it is difficult for the light to reach the top.Unlike other buildings that have been severely abandoned and collapsed, and the building materials may be different, this palace is quite well preserved, but thick dust has accumulated on some corners.After thousands of years, this level has become astonishing.

Chen Sen turned his head, shifted his gaze from Shen Xuan to Chen Yu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Chen Yu, go and see if there is a mechanism on the door."

Chen Yu's heart was overwhelmed with joy, this was the first time that the Chen family's father recognized that he was better than the apprentices he personally brought, although it was only in terms of unlocking.Standing in front of the door, Chen Yu took a breath and groped up and down with gloves on.Many people wanted to see the lockpicking skills of this young young master of the Chen family, but Feng Han and Ma Wenqing blocked everyone's view by being in the way.Everyone could only see the plump little leopard's tail on Chen Yu's shoulder, swaying from side to side, it was almost hypnotic after watching it for a long time.

The moment Chen Yu's hand touched the door, he couldn't help frowning. The door under his hand was so cold that it was almost like ice, so he couldn't help but pay more attention.

After a long time, Chen Yu looked back at Chen Sen, with a slight disbelief on his face, and said, "There is no trap on the door." He patted two places with his hands, and there was a rumbling sound, and the door slowly opened. Move sideways.

There are almost two worlds inside and outside the door, the inside of the door is full of light, and the pearls on the stone wall inside the house illuminate the main hall as bright as day.There are piles of gold, silver, jade, pearls and gems everywhere on the ground. Under the bright light, people's eyes are a little overwhelmed.

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help walking towards the door, scrambling towards the treasures.Chen Yu has seen similar scenes in Yunnan, although the rare treasures here are far from comparable to the hidden treasures of Pingxi King Wu Sangui, they have not yet lost their minds.

Holding the leopard in his arms, Chen Yu stared blankly at the main hall. The main hall seemed to have only one floor, and this floor was surprisingly high.There are piles of treasures on the left and right on the ground just after entering the door, and in the middle of the main hall are stairs that spread upwards. There are platforms every other section, and after a few steps, there are the same upward stairs again. I don't know where they extend.Every few meters on both sides of the steps, there are tree trunks made of black jade, wrapped with gold threads and embellished with crystals, forming the shape of trees.This tree is the image of golden branches and jade leaves.

Now, the only ones standing still were Xu Shaoan, Chen Sen and Shen Xuan who was always taking care of him, Mr. Jiang and his grandson who supported him, as well as Yang Laoliu, Chen Yu, Feng Han and the guide Aji.

At this time, Xu Shaoan's follower, Ah Ying, squeezed out of the crowd, stuffed a few shiny things on her body with a smile, and returned to Xu Shaoan's side.

Standing beside Chen Yu, Feng Han looked up at the endless stairs just like him, and said in a low voice, "He smells like him here."

Chen Yu turned to look at Feng Han in surprise, what kind of smell, Chen Yu could only smell a faint scent, although he always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.After hearing Feng Han's words, Chen Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he said excitedly, "That means my green dragon ring can be unlocked?"

Feng Han glanced at Chen Yu silently, turned his face and said indifferently: "Not necessarily."

Damn, what kind of answer is this? Chen Yu was furious, but dared not speak out.

Ma Wenqing came over to grab Chen Yu's big bag, because his own bag was already bulging and probably couldn't hold it anymore.Chen Yu hurriedly thought about his belongings, equipment and food, which could not be left behind, so he casually took a few things from Ma Wenqing's hands, and refused to put them in any more, making Ma Wenqing's teeth itch with hatred.Chen Yu is greedy for money, but he is not greedy. If he can really go out, these few things are enough for him to not have to struggle for a long time.Besides, he came to the desert this time not to ask for money, but to break the curse.

Many people have things in their bags, clothes and even their bodies, but there seems to be no shortage of treasures like mountains on the ground, shining with fatal attraction.Holding one up, I feel that the other is more valuable, and there are people rushing to exchange the treasures on the ground from the bag.

Chen Yu was staring at the steps in a daze, when suddenly the cheers of the people disappeared, and the hall returned to deathly silence.

A few people hurriedly turned around, Chen Yu and the three heads who were quite calm from the beginning to the end were also taken aback. Behind the mountain of treasures, a young man stood up, tall and thin, with a pale face and gloomy eyes, looking at Everyone said coldly: "Don't you want to live?"

The people stuck to the treasure couldn't recover, the man had turned over neatly from the top of the treasure, passed through the crowd, and hurried to the door, seeing the tightly closed stone door, his face was suddenly full of despair.

Turning around, he looked at the group of people with pity and anger, and said, "When you people came in, no one was left at the door? This time the door is closed again, and we will never even think about going out."

Chen Yu was also very surprised to see the Shimen that had been closed silently by himself, and was about to go over to check it out, when someone beside him screamed, "Brother?!"

The young man was shocked when he heard the words, and suddenly looked in Chen Yu's direction, "Aji? Why are you here?!"

Aji had already ran towards the young man, hugged each other, choked up and said: "Brother, you scared me to death, I have come to the desert this time to see so many sinister things, there are so many dead people, I have been I'm worried that we brothers won't be able to see each other for the last time. It's great that you're still alive."

The young man's face was full of emotion and excitement, he hugged Aji speechless, and patted the young man's back with his hands.In the end, his face suddenly darkened, he pushed Aji away, and asked sharply, "Who brought you into the desert?"

Chen Yu suddenly felt a little guilty, so he stood up and said, "It's me."

The young man walked towards Chen Yu angrily, and stretched out his hand to grab Chen Yu's collar, but was caught by Aji who was chasing him.

At the same time, Feng Han reached out and pulled Chen Yu behind him.

Chen Yu felt that it was a bit difficult to speak. They shouldn't have brought Aji in. It was too dangerous. Aji was still so young, and there was even a prophecy that he didn't know if it would come true but had been hanging in his heart.

"No, brother, don't blame him, I insisted on coming. No matter what, I will come in to find you." Aji hurriedly stopped the excited brother and explained.

However, the elder brother still looked at Chen Yu angrily, and said, "You people, you don't want your own life for money, and you don't even care about other people's lives?!"

Chen Yu fell silent, he couldn't find words to explain.

Aji was also angry, and said to his brother: "I told you not to blame him. Without them, I would come in to find you alone, so the chance of survival is even lower. How could I let you come in and ignore it! After all, If you don’t take that group of people into the desert, nothing will happen.”

Aji's elder brother was silent, and finally raised his hand slowly, stroked Aji's head, and said slowly: "Are you satisfied if you die with me like this?"

Aji was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

In addition to Aji, Chen Sen and others also came over and asked, "You are the guide who brought another group of people into the ghost town? Where are the others?"

Aji's brother suddenly smiled. The smile was very strange. He said, "Others? They were all taken away. After seeing these jewels, none of them would listen to me anymore. Naturally, I couldn't keep them."

Aji's elder brother looked at Chen Sen. In his eyes, this person was the most imposing, and he should be tall, so he said: "My name is Abra, and I am Aji's elder brother who brought you in. You already know, yes I brought the previous group of people into the ghost city I found. Now I deeply regret how I made such a stupid decision, which not only hurt myself, but also made Aji come in to find me. After entering this palace, the ending is doomed The stone door at the entrance is easy to open from the outside, but it cannot be opened from the inside. Anyone who comes in cannot get out."

When Chen Yu was in Yunnan, he was worried that he would put something in the middle of the door when the door was closed, and later let those black snakes in to scare him, but this time he didn't think about it again.And being pushed forward by the crowd at that time, I didn't even notice when the door was closed.

He frowned and asked, "This door can only be opened from the outside?"

Abra nodded, and said: "Thinking about it, you have also discovered that it is very easy to open the outside, but it is extremely difficult to open the inside. I have been here alone for three or four days. I finally hoped that someone would come in, but you rushed over. They have all come in. If you want to go out, you can only calculate, how likely is it that someone will open this door again?"

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay. To be honest, the possibility of anyone coming was almost zero, because the bone bridge to the ghost town had been broken.

Ma Wenqing looked at Chen Yu with a pale face, patted him on the shoulder as a comfort, and said to Abra: "That's because the people in your team are too stupid to open it. Why don't we blow it up? We have explosives and detonators here." But I brought a lot."

Abra looked at Ma Wenqing, his face was very ugly: "You should think that we have not remembered that in this room, it is best for all people not to light fire or flammable things, otherwise it will cause unexpected disasters. Don't you hear What's the smell in this room when you come out, have you encountered it before?"

Chen Yu blinked, and finally found that under the cover of the aroma in the room, there was really a familiar pungent smell, and finally his face turned pale: "Menghuoyou?!"

Abra nodded with a sneer, "Well, that is to say, if we want to blow up the door, we will also be buried with the queen. There is a lot of fire oil in this room, probably to prevent people from disturbing her long sleep. And , The Queen of Ghost City believes in Zoroastrianism, and fire is the medium, which can bring her things that you absolutely don't want to see."

Everyone brought explosives, but there is kerosene in the house, so they must not be used.

Abra said again: "Also, I advise you not to touch the queen's treasures. Almost everyone who touched those things was dragged away by the shadows guarding the queen's resting place. If you don't believe it, you can go and see The corpses behind are from our team, and it is difficult to find out the cause of death."

"Then why were you left behind?" Chen Sen suddenly asked after hearing this.

Although Aji was glaring at the side, Chen Yu actually wanted to ask this question. He wondered why Abra was the only one left.

After hearing this question, Abra obviously fell into doubts that he couldn't answer, and finally he said slowly: "Actually, I don't know why I was left behind. It's not that I didn't touch things on the ground. Moreover, When people discovered that the shadows were drawn out by treasures, many people threw things out. But those shadows still took everyone away, but didn’t take me away.”

After hearing Abra's words, all those who brought their treasures and were full of joy poured out their things in great frustration and pain.Chen Yu secretly took out the mirror of truth and asked Abra if what he said was true and whether the door could not be opened. However, at the critical moment, the mirror of truth was silent, and Chen Yu wanted to drop the mirror.In the end, I was still reluctant, so I had to pretend again.

"Why is there no shadow you mentioned now? What is that shadow?" Mr. Jiang asked.

"Because it's not yet the time to trigger them to come out, and I don't know what it is. It's dark, and the people wrapped in the shadow are all dead. Their faces are blue and purple. It seems to be poisoned or suffocated. However, Maybe the shadows just appear at certain times," Abra said.

This is the worst situation, if the shadow that can take people's lives always appears, they must leave here quickly.

Chen Sen has already said: "This must be the queen's funeral objects. She put all the treasures she searched here, and there must be the queen's coffin on it. Since we can't move, let's go up to find the queen's coffin, maybe Can undo the curse of the shadow."

Everyone could only start to walk up the steps, and when they looked back and saw the mountain of treasures left behind, they were really distressed.

Chen Yu had few things in his bag, and it was easy to throw them out, but Ma Wenqing was in a terrible situation, and kept groping for things from various places along the way to throw them out.

Chen Yu silently counted the number of steps. When he reached the first platform, he found that there were exactly nine steps in each step. After walking a few steps, the platform was still a staircase.According to China's admiration for the return of nine to one, it is estimated that there are nine steps, with a total of 81 steps.

Counting to the top, sure enough.

At the very top is a white jade stone platform, on which there is a huge coffin.

Different from the luxury below, it was a stone coffin, square and square, with simple patterns carved around it.On the front of the coffin is a beautifully carved golden phoenix, that noble divine bird, looking at everyone coldly.

Arriving on the Baiyu platform, Chen Yu felt that the air-conditioning was also pressing under his feet.Involuntarily turning around to look at Feng Han, only to find that Feng Han was staring intently at the inside of the coffin.

The coffin was not tightly closed, and there was a gap in the outer coffin lid.

Feng Han took a few steps forward, and with a light push, the huge stone cover had been moved aside.

Everyone followed him and stood a few steps forward, and found that inside the coffin, the queen in white was lying inside, wearing a golden mask, and her figure was extremely beautiful.The exposed arms were white and smooth, not like a corpse at all, as if this peerless beauty was just asleep.

Except for Chen Yu, Feng Han and Aji, no one else had seen the queen before, so they couldn't help but be amazed.

The strange thing is that the queen is holding a box in her arms, which is made of crystal, and inside the transparent box, a hand can be clearly seen.

A slender, beautiful, extremely elegant hand with two golden rings.Although gold is very vulgar, it shows a domineering look on that hand.

And the weirdest thing is that above the queen's heart, there is a black stone the size of an ordinary person's fist floating in the air. The shape of the stone is irregular, lumpy, almost ugly.

"This... this queen's heart is still beating! She is alive!"
