At the front of the stone chamber is a stone screen wall. In addition to the two standing beasts on the left and right, the screen wall is covered with dense regular scripts.

When I saw the writing on the screen wall, I became curious and took two steps forward. I thought: No matter what, I have to figure out whose tomb belongs to whom?

But when I walked in, I unexpectedly found that the writing on the screen wall began to become a little blurry, and some writing even began to appear slightly broken, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.

I couldn't help but be very surprised. I turned back to Xiong Ming to ask him if he had also discovered these abnormalities. But when I turned around, I found that there was no one behind me, and there was no sign of this kid.

I frowned and thought to myself: Damn it, this kid probably saw that this place was a tomb and just wanted to get the burial objects from that person. If you go somewhere else, don't tell me the damn thing. You'll see how I deal with you later!

With this thought in my mind, I stopped thinking about it. Instead, I took a few steps back, squinted my eyes and read the words on the screen wall intently.

After a while, I roughly understood the meaning of the carvings on the screen wall. These writings mainly said two things.

“The first is a regular danger warning, telling all tomb robbers who are about to break into the tomb that if they step into this place privately, they will definitely die.

The second thing mainly tells the origin of the owner of this tomb.

I took a quick look and found that the owner of the tomb was named Wang Meng.

This Wang Meng was the high priest of Nanzhao Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty, and Zheng Maiyi, the first general of Nanzhao Kingdom, ordered him to find the whereabouts of the Fountain of Youth after usurping the throne and becoming emperor. After Wang Meng received the order, he led a 5,000-man troop and began a 27-year trek.

Wang Meng and his party walked through what is now Yunnan, Guangxi, the Sichuan border, and Hunan. Finally, they arrived in Guizhou and found a large tomb from a hundred years ago in a place called Songtaoshan. Wang Meng ordered people to move the tomb Opening it, I finally found the legendary Fountain of Youth inside.

However, Wang Meng was already seriously ill at that time and did not have much time to live. In desperation, Wang Meng had to take the fountain of youth water in advance.

Sure enough, Wang Meng's illness recovered quickly. Not only was his condition cured, Wang Meng unexpectedly found that the wrinkles on his skin that were originally covered with wrinkles began to dissipate little by little in a very short period of time. This made Wang Meng very happy. excited.

However, there are always two sides to everything. Whenever there is good, there will naturally be bad. Just when the king was about to bring the fountain of youth back to the Nanzhao Emperor Zheng Maiyi, he suddenly noticed that while his body was getting younger, a more terrifying change had also occurred..."

Before I could see what that terrible change was, some of the writings on the screen wall began to turn into countless fine powders, then began to rise up little by little, and finally dissipated.

I couldn't help but curse, "Damn you! It's the most annoying thing to see the critical moment without any explanation!"

However, despite the scolding, I hurriedly looked towards the second half of the text that had not yet disappeared.

The second half of the Yingbiwall article reads, "Wang Meng ordered his soldiers to build an oversized black ice stone coffin, and then asked them to lock themselves in this coffin made of black ice stone, and Tie him up with chains as thick as his arms to prevent him from escaping.

In addition, Wang Meng did not return to Nanzhao Kingdom. Instead, the soldiers took the black ice stone coffin and chose to go all the way north. After seven years of trekking through mountains and rivers, they finally arrived at that time. A place called Youdu, and settled in a ravine called Xiongpawo.

However, the soldiers did not stop. After just a few days of short rest, the soldiers began to build a tomb in Xiongpawo. This construction took 16 years.

Sixteen years later, Wang Meng's tomb was finally completed, and of the 5,000 soldiers and horses at that time, there were only about 30 soldiers left.

These 30 good people never returned to Nanzhao from then on, but chose to stay in Xiongpawo, started a family, built a village, and guarded Wang Meng's mausoleum from generation to generation. "

Seeing the text here, all the writing on the entire screen wall has disappeared, but fortunately, I already know about 7788 things about this place.

I frowned and sighed secretly: "It turns out that the owner of this place is a guy named Wang Meng. High priest? Is he a witch and Gu master? Could it be that he developed the mutated big green snails outside? No wonder those Guys don’t dare to enter the tomb!”

As I was thinking about it, I walked around the screen wall and kept shouting: "Dali Bear, where did you go?"

And just when I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a strong wind blowing above my head. I lowered my head subconsciously, and a long knife slashed past my scalp. More than a dozen hairs were cut off and fell to the ground. on the ground.

After dodging the blow, I used all my strength to jump out to the side. I thought it was Xiong Ming joking with me. Just when I was about to yell, I saw Xiong Ming leaning close to me with his right arm covered in blood. From a distance, he kept waving his hand at me to signal me not to speak.

I was suddenly startled and hurriedly raised my eyes and looked around.

I saw that behind the screen wall was a large hall. Although the construction style was not luxurious and unique, I felt that it could be called majestic and luxurious.

The main hall is in the middle, with an ear room on the left and right sides. Most of them are used to hold the daily necessities of the tomb owner, as well as some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, porcelain and other funerary objects.

There is also a screen wall at the back of the main hall. From my current angle and position, I can’t see clearly what’s behind the screen wall for a while, but based on common sense, I initially estimate that the main tomb chamber behind the screen wall is called Wang Meng. The guy is put wherever he goes without incident.

And those are secondary for now, the most terrible thing is the place I am in now.

There are a total of eight red-painted pillars surrounded by three people in the main hall. The red-painted pillars are divided into four rows on the left and four on the right, dividing the main hall into three equal parts. Twenty-one bronze bells are placed on the left side of the main hall. , beside each bronze bell is a musician's harp holding different instruments and covered with patina.

On the right side of the main hall, there are fourteen iron shelves. The shelves are covered with various animal bones. They make a rattling sound when the wind blows. Next to the iron shelves, there are also fourteen iron shelves with different shapes. Musician Yong.

And the most terrible thing is that in the center of the hall are stood the rusty copper figurines in various costumes.

But what surprised me very much was that the bronze figurines in front of me were not products of the same period at all, nor could they be artifacts of the same period. Let’s not talk about what they were wearing, but just looking at the things they held in their hands, some of them were holding high swords from the Tang Dynasty, some were holding hooks and sickles unique to the Ming Dynasty, and some were holding weapons from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Yang Huapao made me laugh and cry even more. There were a few guys dressed up as Japanese, and they even raised the tortoise box towards me.

The scene in front of me really made me a little confused. I really couldn't figure out what the situation was. I didn't say anything, but gestured towards Xiong Ming not far away: "What is the situation?"

Xiong Ming spread his hands and gestured in the same way: "How the hell did I know that I was fine when I first came here. Suddenly, the bones on the iron shelf over there made a clattering sound, and then these guys rushed towards me. Hand. Then, your kid came running over."

After Xiong Ming talked about the bones on the iron shelf, I couldn't help but look over there. I saw the bones that were dropped by the red rope on the shelf. They were swaying gently at this time, very slowly, but there seemed to be a kind of Indescribably weird.

To be honest, I didn't notice this thing at the beginning, but when I looked at it again, a word couldn't help but emerge in my mind - "ghost-faced wind chime".

So, what are ghost-faced wind chimes?

Simply put, it is a kind of Miao witchcraft.

I once heard my grandfather mention to me that the witchcraft of the Miao family is divided into "living voodoo, death voodoo, spiritual voodoo, and sound-transmitting voodoo."

And this kind of "ghost-faced wind chime" is a kind of sound transmission Gu. Specifically, a poisonous insect is planted into the human body, and this poisonous insect will quickly erode the human brain and all sensory organs, turning the host into a living dead, retaining only the sensitivity to sound.

Once they hear the sound of bones hitting each other, they will become very violent in an instant and attack wherever the sound is made.

Due to the huge power of this sound transmission Gu, it also got the reputation of "the wind blows to the bones, and ten thousand people cannot stop it".

However, according to my grandfather, this ghost-faced wind chime has disappeared from this world for nearly a thousand years. I didn’t expect that I would meet it today.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take a breath, slowly raised my hand and gestured at Xiong Ming: "This is... the ghost-faced wind chime... Once the wind chime rings, these guys will kill all the living people who appear. So be careful. Also, these guys can’t see anything, they’re only sensitive to sound, so don’t make any noise.”

Xiong Ming nodded and gestured: "I understand! Why didn't you tell me if you knew earlier? I almost died just now."

I gestured and said, "I just remembered that this thing was told to me by my grandfather when I was a child. He said that he had only seen this thing once in his life. He also said that he had been extinct for a long time. Who knew that today we could both be together?" An encounter? I guess most of these people are tomb robbers who want to get in. For some reason, they were parasitized by those damn bugs, so they look like bronze-armored corpses now."

Xiong Ming didn't say anything more, but slowly raised his middle finger to me. After a while, he gestured again: "What should I do now?"

I thought about it and replied: "Don't make any sound! Move to the back hall little by little!"

And just when I finished the gesture and was about to take action, suddenly the ghost-faced wind chime beside me began to shake violently, followed by waves of very uncomfortable "clatter" sounds, and then, sadly What happened was that the cell phone in my pocket rang at the wrong time.

Just listen to the melodious song of Jay Chou's blue and white porcelain from the mobile phone, "The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I'm waiting for you. The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river. The writing on the bottom of the bottle imitates the elegance of the previous dynasty. Just think of me Foreshadowing my meeting with you..."

To be honest, the song was a good one, but it came at the wrong time. Just when I reached for my phone and was about to hang up, three bronze figurines holding long knives rushed in front of me.
