Just as Lin Yi was thinking deeply, he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.
"Consultant Lin, Master Wang has been found!"
Looking back, Wang Qiang was lying on the lid of a coffin that had been lifted, with his eyes closed and his hands clenched into fists. The expression on his face was nervous and fearful, and his hair was covered with beads of sweat, as if it had just been washed.
The veins on his forehead popped out, as if he was struggling with something.
"Wang Qiang, brother Qiangzi, wake up!"
Abdul knelt down, making a gesture to wake him up.
Lin Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed Abdul's arm. He directly covered his mouth with his other hand. He quickly freed up his other hand and made a silent gesture towards him, whispering instructions.
"Brother, you must not scream. He is now under the 'Nightmare Curse'. If he is interrupted, he will be trapped in the 'Nightmare Illusion' forever."
Upon hearing this, Abdul immediately covered his mouth and stayed away from Wang Qiang.
Everyone else also remained silent, standing there not daring to make any sound.
"Consultant Lin, what is this 'nightmare curse' you are talking about?"
Bai Lu came forward with a curious expression and asked in a low voice.
Lin Yi pulled her sleeve aside and explained:
"It's a bit similar to what we often call 'ghost in bed', that is, when a person is half asleep and half awake, it feels like reality and hallucination, as if he is awake but still in a dream."
Bai Lu nodded heavily, expressing her understanding.
"I've also had this feeling. It's a bit like an out-of-body feeling. I'm clearly awake, but I just can't wake up my body."
"Me too, I obviously have my eyes closed, but I can see things around me, but I can't get out of bed, and it feels like my hands and feet are all tied up."
Everyone seems to have had this experience and resonates with what Lin Yi said.
"However, what Lao Wang is doing is a kind of evil spell that allows people to enter a 'dream' created by the caster. It seems to be a normal sleep state, but in fact, the body and consciousness are completely out of control.
This evil spell is very vicious and will make others think that the person who is affected by the spell is just sleeping. Once you try to wake him up and want him to wake up from the "nightmare illusion", in reality, he will never wake up again. . "
When everyone around him heard what he said, they were all stunned.
This kind of evil magic is simply impossible to guard against.
If Lin Yi hadn't been well-informed and stopped Abdul's behavior in time, Wang Qiang might have fallen into a "nightmare illusion" and never woke up.
"How could Xiao Wang, who was so good, suddenly become possessed by evil spirits?"
Mr. Lu asked puzzledly.
"It must have something to do with him entering this empty coffin. I was careless! I thought I was out of danger after getting rid of the control of 'Snake Eyes Cistanches', but I didn't expect that in this 'Kunlun Secret Realm', there are still dangers."
Lin Yi blamed himself.
Li Li and Abu both came up and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, please don't say that. If you hadn't led us all the way, I'm afraid we would have gathered on the Huangquan Road."
"Yes, Consultant Lin, since you know what the problem with Hadron is, there must be a way to solve it, right?"
Lin Yi frowned and shook his head slightly.
"It's not that easy! To undo this 'nightmare curse', he either has to come out of the 'illusion' himself, or he has to find the medium for the caster to cast the spell, a picture, a sentence, a spell, or It is an object, and it may become a medium for performing magic.
If you can't find this medium, you can't wake him up. "
"That's troublesome!"
Abdul rubbed his hands anxiously and paced back and forth.
Suddenly, Bai Lu winked at Lin Yi and the others, and pointed at Wang Qiang, who was still lying on the coffin board.
Several people quickly tiptoed over and took a look, and found that Wang Qiang's expression had changed.
The tension and fear just now turned into a lewd smile, the corners of his mouth began to tilt up uncontrollably, and the movements of his fingers relaxed a lot.
"Are you going to 'wake up'?"
Bai Lu gestured quietly.
Lin Yi let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to gather everyone to the other side.
"This is a state of completely entering the 'Nightmare Fantasy'. The caster will do what he wants and let him find the kind of happiness he wants most in the 'Fantasy'. The more this happens, the harder it will be to escape from the 'Fantasy' Come out on your own."
Wang Qiang behind him even laughed out loud at this time. The dumbbell-like laughter echoed in the space, with an indescribable weirdness.
"Until we find the 'medium', we can only let him stay in this 'nightmare fantasy' for a while. Remember, don't make any big noise. I'll look for clues."
After saying that, Lin Yi turned back and glanced at the candle lit in the southeast corner of the hall.
The candle was still burning, and nothing unusual was noticed.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, and once again came to the coffin that Wang Qiang fell into just now, and studied it carefully.
The outer coffin chamber is made of stone slabs connected together, and the bends are connected with bronze decoration. Stonemasons cut holes in the stone slabs, drive bronze rivets in, and then wrap them with bronze ornaments.
The materials look old and the workmanship is beyond fault.
It's exquisite, but I feel that the coffin chamber is made with an indescribable feeling.
I always feel like something is wrong.
"Comrade Xiaolin, do you think something went wrong?"
Mr. Lu came to Lin Yi on crutches and asked softly.
Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.
"Do you feel that the shape, materials and craftsmanship of these coffins are not consistent with the identity of King Jingjue?"
As the saying goes, one sentence can awaken the dreamer.
Lin Yi was currently thinking about how to undo Wang Qiang's "Nightmare Curse", and his mind was in a state of confusion. He clearly saw many details, but was unable to make a correct judgment.
Mr. Lu's words made him suddenly enlightened.
"Yes! Mr. Lu, you are right. According to the national strength, financial, human and material resources of Jingjue Country, there is absolutely no need to make such low-grade things."
"Yes, that's how I felt when I saw it for the first time! It doesn't look like the hegemon of the Thirty-six Kingdoms in the Western Regions in terms of appearance. Instead, it has a bit of a petty spirit, or in other words, it feels like the gold on the outside is ruined.
Even the coffins unearthed from the royal families of Shanshan, Loulan, Ruoqiang and other countries are more gorgeous and solemn than these. "
After Mr. Lu analyzed this, Lin Yi also expressed his agreement.
How noble is the Queen of Jingjue Kingdom?
Dismissing her in such a "thin-skinned coffin" is really not in line with her status.
If we take a closer look at the "Kunlun Sacred Tree" that was buried with Queen Jingjue in the legend, the problem becomes more obvious.
What kind of "Kunlun sacred tree" is this? The wood of this coffin is not even comparable to golden nanmu.
It's just ordinary basswood.
However, the layer of bark wrapped around the basswood does exude a fragrance that is refreshing.
Lin Yi stretched out his hand and pressed the bottom of the coffin board. It was actually movable. With another push, the entire coffin board turned 180°, almost trapping Lin Yi.
