Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 797 The Strange Mercenary

Fortunately, the previous tomb robber had already opened the stone gate, and Zhang Liang walked in with a torch in hand.

Leaving the burial chamber, there is a corridor with cobwebs criss-crossing, and many bones piled up on both sides.

The feet stepped on the bone, making a crisp sound.

This kind of weird noise seemed even more frightening in the tomb.

Looking at those bones, Zhang Liang suddenly thought of retreating.

But when he thought that he had already boasted about Haikou and wanted to bring some treasures back from the imperial mausoleum, if he returned so empty-handed, he would definitely be laughed at.

So Zhang Liang plucked up his courage, took the hatchet in his hand, and walked in cautiously.

At the end of the corridor, it was shrouded in darkness, as if it could not be seen at a glance.

Zhang Liang walked for a long time before he walked out of the corridor and came to a larger tomb.

In the tomb, there was darkness, and the eyes couldn't see anything.

Zhang Liang knew that there were many traps in the tomb, so he walked along the corridor, the reason why he didn't meet the traps was because the traps had been destroyed by tomb robbers before.

But when he came to this tomb, Zhang Liang didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to move forward.

He hesitated, and after struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind to go and have a look.

Zhang Liang waved the torch and walked carefully into the tomb.

This tomb is very large, there are many servants inside, and there is a high platform in the middle of the tomb.

On the high platform, there is a huge coffin.

Zhang Liang stared with bated breath, walking cautiously among the servants.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a 'clack' sound.

The sound was like teeth grinding, and it made one's scalp tingle.

Zhang Liang bit the bullet and walked forward slowly.

For some reason, he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Every time I take a step, I feel that someone is following closely behind me.

Although there is no breath, the cold feeling is particularly strong.

Whenever he looked back, there was no one behind him.

This made Zhang Liang feel even more fearful, he just wanted to find the baby quickly and leave this ghostly place.

The entire tomb is very large, but there is nothing of value.

But the coffin is different. Although the material of the coffin is stone, there are many precious stones inlaid on it.

Zhang Liang walked towards the coffin while chanting 'Amitabha Buddha' in his heart.

From the corridor to the coffin, there was a distance of more than ten feet, and nothing unusual happened.

Zhang Liang gradually became more courageous, so he used a hatchet to pry off an emerald from the coffin.

After all, Zhang Liang is from the village of guarding the mausoleum, and he still feels a little in awe of the imperial mausoleum in his heart. After taking a gem, he didn't dare to be greedy anymore, so he put the gem away and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, something strange happened.

Zhang Liang turned around, and suddenly found that all the servants were turning their heads and staring at him.

Zhang Liang didn't pay attention to it at first, but when he recalled his previous state as a military servant, he broke out in a cold sweat!
Originally, the soldiers on both sides of the road from the corridor to the coffin were all standing face to face, and he remembered this very clearly.

But now, all the servants turned their necks and looked at him!
Suddenly encountering such a strange thing in such a gloomy tomb, Zhang Liang instantly felt that his body was poured with cold water, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe out.

Strangely, those servants just looked at him without any movement.

Zhang Liang stood beside the coffin for a full quarter of an hour, seeing that there was nothing unusual about the servant, so he bravely raised his right foot.

Almost at the same time as he was taking a step, those servants suddenly shook their bodies.

In the next moment, the servant closest to him slashed at him with the bronze sword in his hand at the same time.

Zhang Liang screamed in fright, and hurriedly bent over to avoid being split in half.

In the next instant, more weapons slashed at him.

Fortunately, those soldiers didn't move very fast, Zhang Liang relied on his kung fu to walk among the soldiers.

But no matter where he went, those servants could always find his position.

It seems that these soldiers are not clay sculptures, but living people!
Zhang Liang looked at the dead-faced, slow-moving soldiers who seemed to be alive, and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he rushed towards the corridor where he came from like crazy.

What's weird is that those servants followed closely behind him, and they couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

Zhang Liang was lucky enough to rush into the corridor, and those servants also rushed towards the passage, but luckily the passage was narrow, so those servants were blocked in the passage.

Zhang Liang didn't dare to look back, and rushed to the tomb room when he arrived like crazy, and crawled towards the entrance of the cave in a hurry.

After escaping from the sky, Zhang Liang was afraid that those servants would also climb up, so he pushed down a huge boulder nearby and blocked the entrance of the cave.

Although he was lucky enough to escape from birth, Zhang Liang was so frightened that he became insane. He went crazy all day long and died soon after.

After listening, several people suddenly fell into silence.

After a while, Li Yu let out a sigh of relief, and said excitedly: "Could it be that those soldiers were cast under a spell? Otherwise, how could they come back to life?"

The old man Zhang sighed, and said: "According to ancient legend, there are ghosts and gods guarding the imperial mausoleum. Anyone who disturbs the first emperor will die. According to the old man in the village, those servants are the guardians of the first emperor."

"Could there really be ghosts in this world?" A thin layer of sweat broke out on the tip of Di Qing's nose.

Di Qing is not afraid of anything, the only thing she is afraid of is ghosts. After listening to the old man Zhang, Di Qing's mind is full of strange scenes of those soldiers killing people.

"Canghai, what's your opinion on this matter?" Di Qing subconsciously held Li Canghai's hand. Only when Li Canghai was by her side could she feel safe.

Li Canghai, who had been silent all this time, comforted Di Qing, then looked at the old man Zhang and said, "From what the old man said, this matter is really hard to understand, but the old man also said that after Zhang Liang came back, he fell into madness. These, Perhaps his imagination is also unknown."

The old man Zhang stood up suddenly, and he said solemnly: "Master, everything the old man said is true! Although Zhang Liang said he was crazy, he never lied to me. If you don't believe me, the old man has evidence to prove it!"

"What evidence is it?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

Old man Zhang walked to the head of the bed, lifted the quilt, took out a wooden box from under the bed, and handed it to Li Canghai.

After Li Canghai opened it, he saw a crystal clear emerald in the box.

"Wow, what a beautiful gem!" Di Qing held the gem in her hand and said fondly.

This is indeed a beautiful gem.

The gemstone is about the size of a pigeon's egg. It is crystal clear and exudes a faint fluorescence. There seems to be a nebula map circulating in the gemstone, which looks very magical.

"Where did you get such a beautiful gemstone?" Li Yu asked curiously after praising her.

The old man Zhang said: "This gem is the one that Zhang Liang brought out from the tomb. Before Zhang Liang died, he gave the gem to me, and asked me to return this gem if I can go down to the tomb in my lifetime."
