Pendulum Master

Chapter 13: The tomb of the West Lord

Views:

Just above our heads, there is a gap like a hole, where the miner’s lamp meets the darkness, a huge face protrudes out, that face is more than twice the size of ordinary people, and it’s covered with white hair. It seems to be fished out of a pile of flour. A pointed nose, a pair of small blood-red round eyes, staring straight at the three of us. The boss with a cracked mouth had two dies sticking out of his mouth. The saliva was almost flowing into a river, dripping down one by one.

The guy's neck was not too long, and even the upper body was lying on his stomach. The hair on his body was black and short, and it was greasy and glowing under the lamp. The guy peeked his head left and right, still couldn't help it. After jumping down, we used the miner's lamp to see clearly, a white-headed mouse the size of a pig. Where did Xiao Li have seen such a big mouse, "Mom!" He was so scared that he would step back! This is the underground, it is the king!

"His grandma! I actually met Gao Changshu, this kind of guy actually exists?" The old man was obviously startled. According to the records of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", Gaochang State-owned Rat King, the big one is like a pig, the small one is like a rabbit, and the head is as white as snow. In the past, if merchants did not worship, their clothes would be hacked, or they would die immediately. Since Gaochang died in the Kara Khanate, this kind of rat has also become extinct. Unexpectedly, I encountered it underground today.

Where did Xiao Li think about it, the guy jumped up, jumped three meters high, and threw himself down at Xiao Li. It turned out that Xiao Li's bloody smell was heavy, and he was quite powerful against that mouse! "Shoot! Li Jie!" "Oh! Just this bastard, I killed a bunch of people!" Li Jie, the real man did not show his face, he squatted, bent the cat's body, and pushed his left hand like a gust of wind to the giant mouse. He fired a shot, and suddenly the shot jumped to his right hand, and then shot again, hitting the mouse's head. The rat grunted and hit Xiao Li hard. The black blood is drenched, and the stench is disgusting!

Li Jupang is not a simple person. His real name is Li Xuanzhong, a tomb robber of the Southern School. In the Taklimakan Desert meteorite incident, Zhang Huo was the captain in name, but the actual captain was Xia Laotou and Li Jielan. The team of more than one hundred people went all the way into the desert, and in the end there were only three of them. Without some means, it was unthinkable.

Unknowingly, a few Gaochang mice crawled out, filed in, chewing the dead Gaochang mice, and bite them into a pile of bones in an instant.

"Quick! Run along the hole in the wall." Old man Xia was fifty-three or four years old, with a little right foot, and his body was like a flying ape sweeping the slope. The stone wall is seven or eight meters high. And from what matters, drop a rope. It was a special soldier of a sharp-sword company like Xiao Li, and he was also stunned. Old man Xia shouted: "Guwazi, don't linger, take the marching bag and run with me!" Xiao Li focused his arms on the rope, and climbed up with three kicks and two kicks.

Li Jilan was alone behind the house and beat Gao Changshu fiercely. Slightly backed up and run, rushed to the wall, pulled the cable with both hands, and a carp came and jumped up. It was Xiao Li who was so knowledgeable and startled, "Where are these two old guys sacred!" The three of them all rolled over and crawled into the hole.

The hole is only half a person tall, and you need to cat your body before you can pass. The soil wall is full of traces of paws clearing the way!

"Lee pimple! Now there are no outsiders, it's time to show your hands!"

"On these three bad boys, I shot them one by one!"

boom! boom! boom!

Li Jupang sat on his feet, twisted his upper body one hundred and eighty degrees, and stretched out his right arm swiftly. After hearing only three shots, the three white-headed mice kicked their legs on the ground, thinking they could not survive. !

Xiao Li was shocked, he was the best gunman on the farm, and he was not as good as this plum bump. Sure enough, the real person does not show his face, the origin of the old man Xia should be even more difficult!

After walking for about ten minutes, Old Man Xia took a picture of the miner's lamp: "Li Jie, there seems to be a tunnel in front of you. I'm going to be a mouse hole now, ha! Ha! Ha!", "Ha! Ha! Ha! I know how. !" The two talked and laughed, not to mention that the three or four Zerro salmon were also killed by the old guy!

Sure enough, within a hundred steps, this earth hole will come to an end. The corridor is as high as one person, and it's all carved with large bluestone, and the roof of the cave is arched. "Guwazi, you will follow me three steps straight, four steps diagonally to the left, then three steps straight, and four steps diagonally to the right. You can't make a mistake when you walk straight and diagonally." Don't look, I walked again and again for about ten minutes. Xiao Li was so frightened that he was sweating, and he staggered out of half of his foot. "Get down!" Li Jupao heard the sound of metal rubbing against the stones, and slammed Xiao Li down. Sure enough, "Swish! Swish!", a few dark arrows wiped past the scalp.

"Guwazi! This is a Han-style tomb. There are flying arrows in this kind of tunnel. I went to the tomb, and you grandson didn't know where to reincarnate!" Old man Xia grabbed Xiao Li and took three steps to the left and right. Two steps took more than ten minutes. A huge stone wall blocked the way. The wall was hewn out of a whole piece of stone, and three lines of text were written in the middle. One line is similar to Sanskrit, one line is Chinese, and one line is similar to Semitic. Xiao Li looked confused: "What is painted on this?"

Old man Xia muttered in a strange voice, and finally spoke human words: "It says, "Everyone who dares to send me up will make you no one behind!" Old man Xia added: "In today's words, just dare to dig. Lao Tzu’s grave, curse the whole family to death!" Li Jilan smiled: "It’s really Lu Wen and Tian Sai Wen. It seems that this is the tomb of Yutian State!"

Lu Wen, the full name is "King Lu Shi Di Wen", also known as Galu Wen. According to legend, Yu Lu Shi is an immortal with a donkey face and a human body in Tianzhu. He created this kind of Pinyin script written from left to right. Later, it spread from Tianzhu to Xiyu Niya and Loulan generations, and became the common local script.

"Old man Xia, is this stone wall the Diamond Wall?"

"Take explosives to break it?" Seeing no one responds, Xiao Li continued.

"Guwazi, you ordered explosives, aren't we all dead?"

"How can this small broken door stump me?" Old man Xia took out a thin iron claw from his arms and slashed at the stone gate. The stone gate opened a gap, and the gap revealed a gloomy light! Old Man Xia took out a hard steel wire from the marching bag again, and slightly hooked it into the crack of the door. Putting the left and right hands against the two sides of the door, gently pushed the door, which was a thousand jin, opened with a creak. Old man Xia carried his hands on his back, as if going home!

Xiao Li also followed in, perhaps after being in the dark for a long time, a sudden burst of light made his eyes unable to open. For a long time, slightly opened and opened his eyes, but they couldn't close them, and was stunned by the sight in front of him.

The tomb is the size of a basketball court and is four or five meters high. It is supported by six stone pillars on the left and right, all of which are whole blocks of Karakunlun Mountain. The pillars are carved with reliefs of dancing girls in the style of Gandhara. It is full of pearls, agate, jade and jade! The night pearl is shining. There was bursts of fluorescence in the tomb, cold and bleak. The fluorite coffin in the middle of the tomb emits blue light.

The fluorite coffin is three meters long, two meters wide, and one and a half meters high. The coffin was crystal clear, smooth and faintly visible in the coffin. It seems that the naked eye can see its compelling chill. On the four sides of the coffin, four more relief murals in the style of Gandhara were carved, with smooth lines and lifelike shapes.

Beside the fluorite coffin, dozens of naked corpses of young women, about seventeen or eighteen years old, lie on the side of the fluorite coffin. The three-dimensional face shows the characteristics of the Aryan race. The flesh was crystal clear and white, and it seemed that he had just died. Needless to say, it was a sacrificial lady. With so many jade bodies, Xiao Li blushed to the base of his neck.

The load-bearing jade on the top of the tomb rises toward the center and becomes a dome shape. A three-dimensional mural is painted on the top of the dome. In the center of the angle of view is a man dressed as a royal family. He is dressed like ancient India. He is holding a machete on his neck, as if he is about to slay himself. A rat-headed man is kneeling next to him. The Rathead stared at the piles of soldiers' corpses around him in a daze. The battle flag behind the man was also broken. On the edge of the mural, a circle of soldiers resembling Han faces appeared. On one of the flags was written "Son of East Emperor" in Zuoqi Luwen. Under the flag stood a young descendant with a handsome face. Excited, as if the war was about to be won.

"Guwazi! Can you understand this mural?"

"do not know!"

"If you can go out alive, you have to read more and don't go crazy! According to legend, the assistant of the Prince Wuyou and his clan were moved to the western boundary of Khotan by the Prince Wuyou. The emperor of the east land occupies the eastern boundary. Later, the proprietor and the west master met on a narrow path, and the proprietor defeated the west master to unite Khotan. This story tells the story of the defeat of the west master!"

"Yes! This tomb is almost always the tomb of the West Lord!"

"The West Lord may be a counterfeit. Don't believe me, take a look at the relief on the coffin."

I saw a beggar dragged away by two soldiers on the front of the coffin, and a noble woman on the gate of the city was beaming with joy. On the opposite side of the coffin, a beautiful woman with a snake body and a human face was carved, sealed in the furnace by a man dressed as a priest. On both ends of the coffin, a line of incantations were written in Essay, Kulu, Tuhuro, Gaochang, Uyghur, Chinese, and Tubo! The Chinese character reads "Dust return to dust, soil return to soil, live peacefully, and die peacefully".

"Lipi, do you know the story of that beggar?"

"I really don't know this. I know the story of Han Di well, and I only know some furs about this frontier!"

"That beggar is the real West Lord, and this one in the coffin is a fake. Legend has it that there was a woodcutter who lived in the first tug-of-war. He was greedy for his wife's beauty and refused to work. Later, his wife painted a portrait of him. Take it to work. One day, the wind blew the portrait into the hands of Xizhu, and Xizhu saw such a beautiful woman, so he took it. The woman was naturally depressed! She quietly sent a book to her husband to let him Pretending to be a beggar walking down the imperial castle, she smiled when she saw her husband coming. When the king saw her, she also pretended to be a beggar to please her. But she ordered the soldiers to capture and kill the beggar the king was pretending to be. The famous woodcutter became the king of this country!"

Xiao Li was stunned. He had never seen such a story. Pointing to the relief of the human face and snake body, staring at the old man Xia, his eyes kept blinking, as if full of doubts.

"This is the story of a beautiful snake. This woodcutter became a king and went hunting in a day. I met a beautiful woman in the woods. The woman claimed to be a princess. Because the country was ruined and her family was destroyed, she hoped that the king would marry her. The king Without even thinking about it, she agreed. After the woman entered the palace, she not only killed the queen, she also had to eat a pair of virgin boys and virgins every year. In the third year of eating, the snake demon asked to eat the princess who pretended to be the king of beggars. The new king naturally I couldn’t be more happy. This year, a Taoist who claimed to be a celestial master came from the East and said to the king, your queen is a snake monster. The Taoist priest made a trick in front of the king, and the queen turned into a human head and a snake body. Daoist sacrificed mana to seal the snake demon in the furnace, and said that after 1,700 years, the snake demon might escape, and then he will come to this country again. Because he loves the snake demon, the Western ruler's government is mediocre. It was quickly wiped out by the proprietor. The princess secretly wrote down the name of the Taoist priest, and later neither the princess nor the Taoist priest had been whereabouts."

When the old man Xia finished speaking in a hurry, Xiao Li was dumbfounded. I am even more curious about the so-called West Lord in the sarcophagus. Lying in the coffin was a male corpse, wearing the same appearance as on the mural.

Suddenly, the entire coffin moved, and a burst of black smoke rose.

A strange scent came out from the bottom of the coffin. A long-footed snake with a head stood tall and upright, in an attacking posture, spitting scarlet letters, and the eyes of the snakes were cold and sharp. murderous look. A black cock exuding an incomparable fishy smell, sprayed out of the snake's tooth glands towards Xiao Li. Xiao Li turned over and rolled, the human-headed snake turned into a black python, biting Xiao Li's foot and then began to swallow it. Li Jinlan and Old Man Xia hurriedly pulled Xiao Li's arm. Two black clues flashed past, pop! Snapped! Li Jinlan and Old Man Xia were both caught in their tails, and Gu Lulu rolled aside. Seeing Xiao Li in danger.

"Naughty animal, shut up!" came a soft female voice, the beautiful snake retched hurriedly, spit out Xiao Li, and slumped into the black hole under the coffin...

The three of them panted for a long time before they came to their senses. Looking into the coffin together, the eyes of the male corpse inside suddenly opened, a pair of hollow blood-red eyes, and a strange smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. (To be continued) (End of this chapter)
