Chapter 50: Paper Soldiers Escape from the Illusion
"What are we waiting for? Even if Zongzi comes, we can still defeat him." Wu Suowei put his arm around Wu Xie's neck with a smile and entered the stone gate.
"Hey, hey, Little Brother Wu, why are you the same as Fatty, so impulsive." Wu Xie said helplessly.
After passing through the stone gate, I looked around and found that the fat man was not there. All I saw were soldiers of various strange appearances standing inside, staring at the two people who came in with ferocious looks.
After passing the strange soldiers, there is a Thunder God statue holding a stone hammer and nails, similar to the one outside. However, it is much larger than the small Thunder God statue outside.
The sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time all around, and the whole room was eerie and dark, irritating Wu Xie's nerves.
Wu Xie and Wu Suowei couldn't help but look at the strange mural. At this moment, Wu Suowei had forgotten that the mural had hallucinogenic properties.
The two of them just looked at each other like that for a while.
"Shit, I was so careless. How could I forget about it?" Wu Suowei patted his head.
"Wu Xie, stop looking. There's something wrong with this mural." Wu Suowei shielded Wu Xie's eyes with his hands and said, "This mural is very weird. Looking at it for too long may cause hallucinations.
My blood is fine, but yours probably isn't."
Wu Suowei then remembered that in the original plot, Wu Xie was trapped in an illusion.
However, Wu Xie was unknowingly falling into an illusion.
At this time, Wu Xie saw another situation in his illusion.
The fat man came over with a big belly: "Tian Zhen, Xiao Wu Zi, you are here. It took me a long time to find you. Are you okay?"
"Where have you been?" Wu Xie turned around and looked at Fatty and said.
"Your legs are not in good condition, so you walk a little slowly." Seeing Wu Xie looking at him, he said quickly, "Let's go quickly, it's important to find brother." Seeing the situation, the fat man hurriedly urged Wu Xie.
"Hey, wait a minute, are you pregnant or what?" Wu Xie looked at the fat man's belly which had grown a lot fatter, and he knew that there must be something inside.
I patted the fat man's belly and it was so hard. This fat man can't change.
"Ahaha. Wasn't it like this when we came here?" The fat man continued to argue.
"Take it out." Wu Xie stretched out his hand and said to the fat man.
"What is this?" The fat man couldn't avoid it when he saw this situation: "What, what's going on? Look, what is this? Hey! How come he caught up with us? Who are you?" The fat man started to make fun of him again.
Wu Suowei smiled speechlessly as he watched Fatty joking with Wu Xie. What a funny guy.
"Are we here to look for clues about Third Uncle? Are we here to cause trouble? Look at what you have done?" Wu Xie's three questions confused Fatty.
"I, I'm just hugging you and feeling comfortable, aren't I?" The fat man also felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "Fuck, this is a burial pit, it's so big. The King of the South China Sea is really grand. This is really big."
Fatty handed the little Thunder God statue to Wu Xie, and then walked around with his little eyes looking around.
Oops, I was so busy talking to Wu Xie that I didn’t notice what was going on here.
Now it seems that the things here are much more valuable than those there just now.
Especially the big statue of Lei Gong.
"Fatty, don't touch anything. Besides, the burial pits are usually near the main sacred road. There must be a corridor leading to the main hall nearby. Let's go quickly." Wu Xie felt that the situation here was not simple and said to Fatty.
"I'm just taking a look around. It's been a long time." The fat man said with a sly grin as he touched it.
"Little Angkor, you see the burial system and murals here are very strange. Such abstract murals, whether they are from the Yue people or the Central Plains people, the murals are all in the style of realistic recording." Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei and explained.
The fat guy over there couldn't help knocking and banging.
"But this mural is very strange. What on earth is it about? Why are there so many images of the Thunder God in the underground palace? It seems that the King of the South Sea is quite crazy about thunder."
As the two were talking.
“Gu…du…du…du…”
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard all around.
"what sound."
"Fatty, Little Wu, I feel like something is wrong here. And we seem to be going deeper and deeper, the exit must not be here. Let's go, let's find Brother and the others and leave here."
"boom!!!"
The next moment, the light in the entire stone chamber suddenly turned red.
"Who is it? Come out." The fat man was also stunned by the scene and looked around.
He turned his head suddenly.
"What the hell! What is this thing?" The fat man was shocked when he saw the cracked face in front of him.
Wu Xie looked at the soldiers in front of him and immediately remembered the story of the dumb emperor told by his second uncle.
After the third thunderclap, all the paper figures and horses came back to life, and the dumb emperor finally gave birth to his daughter.
"This is a paper soldier." Wu Xie said.
"Paper soldiers?" The fat man didn't react yet.
"The soldiers are made of paper, with sesame seeds as eyes." Wu Xie explained.
“It’s made of paper.”
The fat man rubbed his hands twice and said: "It's really made of paper? Then why are you scaring people? What's so powerful about you who are made of paper?"
When he heard that they were made of paper, the fat man had a sly smile on his face, and he was obviously dissatisfied with being scared by the paper soldiers just now. As he spoke, he poked and muttered with his hands.
It's really amazing. The fat guy still can't change his naughty habit.
However, the next moment, the fat man's frivolous smile froze completely.
Then the paper soldier opened his sesame eyes.
Although it was made of paper, it was extremely powerful. In an instant, the paper man's stiff hands grabbed the fat man's neck, lifted him up into the air, and pushed him against the opposite wall.
Wu Xie pulled out the big white dog and chopped at the paper soldier, but the paper soldier seemed to have eyes on his back. He turned around and threw the fat man at Wu Xie, and the two flew out.
"You're looking for death." Upon seeing this, Wu Suowei drew out the Minghong Sword from his back and swept it towards the paper soldiers.
However, the paper soldier dodged quickly and took up the spear from the corpse next to him.
"You guys hurry up and leave." After Wu Suowei said this, he started to fight with the paper soldiers.
Wu Suowei took the Hongming knife and slashed at the paper soldier quickly, but the paper soldier was even faster and disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the paper soldier's spear was already in front of Wu Suowei.
"Qiang..."
Wu Suowei blocked the attack, and the Minghong Sword and the spear collided, creating a spark.
Wu Suowei took the opportunity to chop at the paper soldier's spear.
"What the hell is this? It can't be cut off. This is impossible." Wu Suowei said and flashed back.
"Little Wu, be careful." The fat man took the bottles and jars in the hall and threw them at the paper soldiers.
"Little Brother Wu, run." Wu Xie said hurriedly.
The three of them ran back and forth in the interconnected corridors, as if they were running around in a maze.
"Tian Zhen, Xiao Wuzi, I found the exit here." The fat man said excitedly.
Wu Xie was the closest and ran towards the fat man.
Suddenly, the fat man was nailed to the wall. Wu Xie hadn't reacted yet, and he felt dizzy and covered his head with his hands. He saw the paper soldier's spear was about to stab him.
At this time, Xiao Ge and Wu Suowei arrived at the same time and resisted. Together, they drove the paper soldiers into the narrow corridor.
"Bro!"
Wu Xie shouted, and then looked at the fat man lying on the ground. For a moment, he looked dazed.
The young man and Wu Suowei were fighting with the paper soldiers in the corridor, and the weapons clanged against each other.
Wu Xie also chased out from the tomb passage and saw that the two of them were barely able to fight the paper soldiers to a draw.
The paper soldier was kicked into a corridor by the young man without being careful. Somehow, his body caught fire and burned fiercely in the tomb passage.
With red eyes, Wu Xie picked up the jar on the ground and smashed it over, accelerating the burning of the paper soldiers.
Watching the paper soldiers fall to the ground in the flames, Wu Xie murmured, "Fatty, he's dead."
Wu Xie looked at Xiao Ge and Wu Suowei with red eyes: "Let's go, take him home."
As soon as the three of them turned around, the soldiers in the sea of fire suddenly threw their spears at them with a whoosh.
Xiao Ge and Wu Suowei, who noticed something was wrong, pushed Wu Xie aside. Unexpectedly, the spear was so powerful that it pierced Xiao Ge and Wu Suowei like a candied haws.
Blood splattered all over Wu Xie's face.
Wu Xie just stared blankly at the fallen guy and Wu Suowei.
how so.
How could Brother and Wu Suowei, who are so skilled in martial arts, die here?
No, no way, no way.
Wu Xie covered his head, his head buzzing.
"wake up……"
Wu Suowei pointed his finger at Wu Xie's head and spoke loudly.
"Ugh... cough cough."
Wu Xie coughed a few times and found that the red light around him had dissipated. He returned to the tomb chamber.
"Little Brother Wu, what happened to me just now?" Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei and asked.
"You just fell into an illusion. Everything you saw was fake." Wu Suowei said, patting Wu Xie on the back.
"Then how did you pull me out of the illusion?" Wu Xie asked.
"Hehe, you can't say it, you can't say it." Wu Suowei laughed slyly.
"Little Brother Wu, you are still so naughty." Wu Xie looked at Wu Suowei and showed a helpless smile.
"However, let's not touch the Lei Gong statue and murals in Angkor Wat."
After a while, the fat man came around the corner.
I saw Wu Xie and Wu Suowei.
"Hey, Tian Zhen, Xiao Ge Wu. I finally found you." The fat man walked over.
Wu Xie turned around suddenly and saw Fatty walking towards him with his back bent.
With a panicked look on his face, he shone the flashlight directly into the fat man's face.
"Hey, are you okay?" the fat man said, bending over.
Wu Xie ignored Fatty's words and stared at Fatty's bulging belly.
"Fatty, did you hide a golden statue of Lei Gong?"
"How do you know it's the statue of Lei Gong?" the fat man asked curiously, his eyes unconsciously scanning around.
"Oh, I only have one grandson, and grandpa is here." After saying that, the fat man handed the statue of Thunder God to Wu Xie.
"I know why Uncle San is here. He's not here to listen to thunder. He's here to find treasure, and he's doing it under a pretext..." the fat man muttered to himself.
These are all priceless treasures.
After saying that, he wanted to touch the statue of Thunder God.
"Fatty, don't touch the statue of Thunder God."
"What are you doing? Is this your stuff? You won't let me touch it."
"If you don't want to die, don't touch it."
"I won't touch it, okay? I'll look at the mural."
“Neither can the murals.”
"You are not allowed to look at the murals, why? Tian Zhen, are you upset? Little Angkor, look at him.
"Hey, wait a minute, what's wrong with your forehead? It's a little red, Nezha?" Fatty looked at Wu Xie and said.
"Hehe, that's my blood. It's still very effective." Wu Suowei said with a smile.
"What's going on?" the fat man said, looking at them.
"This mural can hypnotize people and cause hallucinations. And its hallucinogenic ability is very strong. Just now, Wu Xie was affected by the illusion after just taking a look at it. So, I will use my blood to break his hallucinations." Wu Suowei said.
"This place is too weird. We can't stay here for long. My third uncle once told me that there are many strange things in the murals below. They are used to confuse tomb robbers. I just fell into their trap. Fortunately, I have little Angkor." Wu Xie said to the fat man.
"Okay, okay, let's go now."
"Oh my, I'm really hallucinating."
Fatty walked behind Wu Xie and picked up the golden Thunder God statue on the ground.
It’s fine if he is not allowed to see the murals, but he must take his statue of Lei Gong away.
Otherwise, it would be a wasted trip.
"So many hallucinations, all of them are hallucinations..."
"Hey, I'll take you there. There are a lot of murals over there. I've seen them all, and I'm not hallucinating. Come on, come on..."
"It's a hallucination..." The fat man was like a happy little pony.
"This fat man..."
Wu Xie and Wu Suowei glanced at each other, and the atmosphere became lively again because of Fatty.
