My eyes were fixed on the Buddha statue directly in front of me, and my head roared, as if I had been struck by lightning!

"Lao Muti, don't block it..." I murmured.

Lao Muti looked back at me and jumped down from the table.

There was only the Buddha statue in my eyes. I walked forward slowly with my feet, and even my breathing began to become a little short...

"Boss, what's wrong?" Lao Muti asked quietly from the side.

I didn't look at him and said, "Please help me pull off the gauze on the Buddha statue."

Lao Muti hesitated for a moment, but still did as he was told. He slowly pulled the tulle off the Buddha statue. I raised my head and saw the Buddha statue under the tulle at a glance, revealing its original appearance...

"How could it be a female Buddha statue?" Zhou Xiaoshe behind me asked in surprise.

But soon, Zhou Xiaoshe's eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face.

"How could it be, how could it be her..."

Zhou Xiaoshe was dumbfounded, and my mind was completely blank!

Yes, the Buddha statue in front of me at this moment is actually the statue of a woman, and the appearance of this woman is actually Yue Li who has appeared in my dreams countless times.

"Is it you? Yueli, is it really you??"

I couldn't believe my eyes, and I couldn't believe that I could actually see a statue of Yueli here, and it was placed in a temple.

There are two Buddha statues on the left and right sides of the temple, but the main seat to the north is the statue of Yue Li...

If Lao Muti hadn't lifted the gauze on the statue, I wouldn't have discovered that it was Yueli.

"Boss, do you know this statue?" Lao Mu asked.

I nodded, then shook my head, "We know each other, but we don't know each other."

"It's normal to know each other. The owner of this statue is in our Lop Nur, but everyone kowtows and worships." Lao Muti said.

"Why?"

What Lao Muti said next shocked me even more!

Lao Muti said calmly: "Why, because she is the goddess of Loulan. Rumor has it that she was the first king of the ancient Loulan country, the king of women... Her remains are buried in the Tomb of the Sun.

"

"Goddess Loulan... Tomb of the Sun..."

I was completely shocked. At the same time, a picture flashed through my mind. It was a dream I had before. In the dream, I became a general, and in front of me, I was attacked by the enemy.

In Loulan City, which is heavily besieged by soldiers, a woman is standing on top, and her figure looks somewhat similar to Yue Li...

"How could I have that dream? Yue Li is actually the goddess Loulan, the first king of Loulan Kingdom... What on earth is going on?"

I couldn't turn my head around at all. No matter how hard I racked my brains, I couldn't figure out why Yueli had such a connection with the Loulan Ancient Congress.

Lao Muti bowed respectfully to the statue of Yue Li several times.

Zhou Xiaoshe and I looked at each other with shock in our eyes.

Zhou Xiaoshe had seen Yue Li's, so he could recognize that the statue looked like Yue Li's.

And I have a deeper understanding of Yue Li. I have seen her in countless dreams. I thought that she and I would never have the chance to meet each other in this life, but I didn't expect that I would still be here.

Seeing her here, even though it is just a statue, gave me a big shock...

"Humph, there is a scoundrel who can't help but look at the statue, and he's not ashamed." Nie Xiaobai's voice on the side suddenly brought me back to reality from my thoughts.

I touched my nose and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Why are you laughing? You can drool when you see a female statue. If you see a live one, you won't have a nosebleed." Nie Xiaobai said angrily.

"I can't help it. The statue is prettier than you, so I can only look at it." I said deliberately.

Nie Xiaobai was so angry that he gritted his teeth, "You scoundrel, are you telling me that I don't have a good-looking statue yet?"

"I didn't say it, you admitted it yourself."

"Ah! You stinking scoundrel, I'm going to kill you. This girl has big breasts and a curvy butt, and a face as well as a face. She can't compare to a statue..."

Nie Xiaobai was furious, but I didn't take it seriously. To be honest, Nie Xiaobai is indeed pretty. To use a common saying, she can be considered a child-like face with big breasts. But I don't know why, but I feel more like the statue in front of me.

It still made my mind wander a little bit more. Even though it was just a cold and speechless statue, it still made me look at it dozens of times...

We slept outdoors in the temple that day.

As soon as the wooden door of the temple was closed, a small bonfire was lit inside, and everyone gathered around, creating a great atmosphere. If there were a few more bottles of wine, I thought Zhou Xiaoshe and Niu Jianguo could brag all night long...

"Everyone, take a rest early. Although the ancient city of Loulan is not exposed to the sun, it is enough for us to explore for several days, so conserve your energy!" I said.

In the ancient city of Loulan, there is no sunshine at all. Inside, there is almost no difference between day and night. If Zhou Xiaoshe hadn’t brought a watch with him, we would have had to reverse day and night...

Everyone rested. That night, I arranged for Niu Jianguo, Lao Muti and Zhou Xiaoshe to take turns staying on duty at night to avoid any danger.

But in the second half of the night, I suddenly woke up and vaguely heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the temple.

The footsteps were extremely soft, and if you didn't listen carefully, it would be hard to hear them.

I opened my eyes and saw that Niu Jianguo, who was on duty at night, was snoring loudly and had obviously fallen asleep.

The wooden door of the temple is still closed, but the footsteps outside gradually become clearer.

My heart tightened. Who else could be hearing footsteps at this time?

Are they Leng Tong and Tao Hua Ji? That's impossible. They both shouted in front of each other. If they really came to the temple, there would never be such a slight sound of footsteps...

If it's not Leng Tong and Tao Hua Ji, whose footsteps outside the temple could it be?

I looked back at the temple inside. Bai Yu and Nie Xiaobai had already fallen asleep, and Nie Zifeng, Zhou Xiaoshe and the others were also sleeping soundly.

My eyes accidentally fell on Yue Li's statue. The dim oil lamp illuminated the face of Yue Li's statue. Although this statue was not particularly similar to Yue Li's real face, it could still be seen between the eyebrows and eyes.

To the unique temperament of Yueli.

My heart suddenly moved, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of my mouth...

But at this time, the footsteps outside the temple were getting closer and closer, which touched my heart.

I didn't hesitate, carefully stepped over the sleeping Niu Jianguo, and then opened the wooden door a crack.

Through the crack in the door, I saw a black figure flashing outside the dimly lit temple.

I was suddenly startled. The black figure in the dimness could be vaguely identified as a man. However, this man did not look like an evil thing or a zombie, but how could he appear in the ancient city of Loulan?

I was full of suspicion and decided to go outside the temple to find out!

I want to see who the owner of this figure is.

I'm not worried about my own safety. Although I'm a little afraid of the abnormal things in my heart, now that I have the Yinbinghu Talisman in my hand, I naturally have a little more confidence in whatever I do!

I quietly walked out of the temple, hiding my body in the darkness, and then slowly caught up with the black shadow in front of me.

As I got closer, I found that the human-shaped black figure in front of me was obviously a man, but his body was hunched over, like an old man in his seventies or eighties. His back was extremely severe, and his clothes were in tatters, as if he were dozens of years old.

It hasn't been changed in years.

Who could this person be?

I became more and more curious, and then I quickened my pace, and suddenly I blocked the path of this human-shaped black shadow!

In the dimness, the human-shaped black shadow seemed a little surprised by my appearance.

He lowered his head and didn't look at me. He just stared at my shadow on the ground, motionless.

I stared at the human-shaped black figure three or four meters away from me and asked, "Are you also a tomb robber?"

After I finished speaking, the humanoid black figure did not respond to me immediately. After hesitating for a while, he slowly raised his head.

And the moment he looked up and saw his face, I was suddenly startled.

The face of the human figure's back was actually covered with a layer of terrifying snake skin. The skin on the face was completely changed, as if it was like a huge snake head...

I was uneasy. This person's face really scared me. It looked like snake skin. If it weren't for his nose and eyes, I would have thought this guy was a snake spirit.

"Are you a living person or a corpse?" I couldn't help but ask.

The humanoid shadow hesitated for a moment, then moved its throat and made a particularly hoarse but unfamiliar sound.

"Although he is a living person, life is worse than death..."

As soon as the humanoid shadow spoke, I was immediately relieved. Being able to speak means that he is still a human being.

But, how could he appear here?

I continued to ask: "When did you come here?"

A trace of reminiscence flashed in the eyes of the snake-skin-faced man, and he smiled bitterly: "It's day and night here, and I have forgotten when I came..."

"Then what's your name? You should know it, right?"

"So what if I have a name? People outside already thought I was dead..."

The snake-skin-faced man's face twitched, as if he was touched by what I said, and his eyes suddenly became a little sad.

"This is not far from the city gate, why don't you go out?" I asked curiously.

The snake-skin-faced man looked at me with a strange expression. He suddenly grinned, then took off his tattered clothes and slowly approached me in the dim light.

"This is why I don't go out..."

I focused my eyes and saw that the body of the man with the snakeskin face was actually covered with dense snakeskin. At first glance, he looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.

He paused and continued: "Decades ago, I accidentally stepped into this place and have been trapped until now. I have seen some of you tomb robbers, but none of them can escape safely, little guy.

Good luck……"
