8. Chapter VIII

Ye Ci stood in the tomb where he couldn't see his five fingers, and when he heard the shouting, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

There was a cold dampness from the tomb behind him, and people couldn't help but shiver.

The sound of footsteps on the ground continued.

She raised her head and tried to shout, but suddenly she felt fine grains of sand fall from the cracks in the stone above her head, falling into her eyes, causing pins and needles to hurt.

Moved a few steps to the depths of the tomb, just cried out the sand in his eyes, wiped the water stains on the side of his eyes with his sleeve, Ye Ci opened his eyes, and Meng Mengran found that there was a faint light not far away, not big, just a little sporadically, accompanied by the figures reflected on the wall, and the sound of rustling in the depths of the tomb, it looked very weird.

Ye Ci was in school back then, although he also went to the tomb with the teacher, he didn't believe in the ghosts and gods.

But at this time, she was alone, and when she encountered this ghost fire of unknown origin, she was still instinctively scared for a while.

But what's the use of being afraid?

Seeing that there is no way out, the entrance of the cave is blocked by the stone tablet and can't get out, and if you stay in place, you will think wildly, and the more you guess, the more afraid you are.

Ye Ci lowered his head and thought for a while, simply touched the amulet that he had worn on his neck for more than 20 years, recited a few words of peace, took a step, and decided to go in to see what was going on.

It's just that although the determination has been made, the fear in his heart has not decreased, and every step Ye Ci takes seems very heavy. It wasn't until she walked through the stone door and came to the real main burial chamber that she saw the qiē in front of her that the fear in her heart relaxed slightly.

The main burial chamber was not as terrible as she had imagined, and in the middle of the chamber was a huge wooden sarcophagus coffin, with some traces of being opened.

Next to the coffin, at this time, a young Taoist priest in white clothes and green robes was standing, holding a candlestick in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand, looking up at the wall in front of him, as if there was something on the wall that was particularly worthy of his in-depth study.

The long silver whisker of dust hung down from his hand, and half fell to the ground, and the whole person was motionless, and he did not look like a living thing.

Ye Ci walked a little slowly at first because he was afraid, but when he saw that the person inside was a Taoist priest, he suddenly became happy, and he stepped forward, not noticing the threshold under the stone gate, and walked in a hurry, and suddenly tripped over the stone threshold, and fell to the ground, making a big noise.

The Taoist priest was disturbed by the sound and slowly turned around.

When Ye Ci saw the Taoist priest turn around, he immediately held his breath and did not dare to move again, and for a while, even the water droplets in the entire tomb became clear.

The Taoist priest was very tall, but his face was a little pale, and when he turned a little from the back of the candlelight, he suddenly brought the illusion of a cold wind welcoming his body.

Ye Ci looked at the clear and beautiful face in front of him, and was stunned for a while.

She really didn't know what kind of words she should use to describe this face at this moment.

It seems that a beautiful word is too pompous, and a word, a qiē elegant word is too bland.

In the end, I only came up with eight big words - flying clouds and falling snow, and my eyebrows are picturesque.

Of course, the Taoist priest didn't know what Ye Ci was thinking at this time.

frowned slightly, seeing that Ye Ci opened her mouth slightly and did not speak, as if she was surprised, and there was a little wetness in the corners of her eyes, thinking that she was a fool, she was silent for a while, raised her hand and pointed in the direction outside the door.

Seeing that the Taoist priest didn't speak, Ye Ci raised his hand and pointed at each other, and also thought: Could it be that this dusty Taoist is a mute?

So, I stood up cautiously and "asked" the sign language I had learned when I was a volunteer: "Who are you?" Why here? ”

Where could the Taoist priest understand Ye Ci's sign language, and as soon as he shook off the dust in his hand, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing him raise his feet, Ye Ci immediately grabbed his wide sleeved robe, pointed at himself, and pointed in the direction outside the ear room, as if to say: "I want to go out, can you help me."

The Taoist priest never let go of his frowning brows when he saw Ye Ci from the beginning, and at this time, Ye Ci suddenly pulled his sleeves, and he was even more unhappy in his heart.

With a flick of the dust, it lightly hit her grip on the hand.

Although the dust was thrown lightly, it had its own ingenuity, and Ye Ci was thrown a little painfully, and couldn't help shouting softly, "Dao Chief's subordinates are merciful."

When the Taoist priest saw her voice, he asked in a deep voice, "You are not a fool?" ”

Ye Ci also raised his head, and didn't know how to answer for a while: "I, when did I say I was a fool, I thought you were a dumb person."

The Taoist priest felt that the woman in front of him was really unreasonable, and she was unstable, half of her heavenly soul was missing, and she was obviously a person with a short lifespan, so he simply stopped talking to her and walked directly to the front.

Ye Ci followed behind him and asked, "How did Gao Dao get in, and besides, this place will be burned later, I, let's go out first."

The Taoist priest looked back at her and asked in confusion, "Burned?" Why burn it".

Ye Ci replied to him: "The village chief of this village said that many men in the village have been sick one after another because there are dirty things in this tomb, so they said that they would burn this tomb to make the village peaceful."

"Ridiculous", the Taoist priest shouted in a low voice, glanced at Ye Ci, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked: "Then why are you here, is it also to find that half of the aura?" ”

Where did Ye Ci know what aura was, and hurriedly bowed and replied: "Don't hide it from you, I am a cultural relics restoration, and I usually don't have any preferences, but I have a natural preference for some things left by my ancestors." I saw that the things they dug up from the tomb outside were all ancient relics of the Song Dynasty, and I couldn't bear to see that this tomb was destroyed in vain, so I argued with them, annoyed them, and was pushed down."

The Taoist priest listened to Ye Ci's words, but now calmed down a little of the initial displeasure, held the candlestick and walked around the depths of the left and right ear chambers, and came out and said: "You wait for me here, I will go to the other tomb to see, and you will go up with me when you come back."

Ye Ci asked a little puzzled: "In another tomb?" What does the Taoist mean is that there is another tomb under this tomb? ”

The Taoist priest turned and walked to the back hall and replied softly, "This is nature."

After speaking, I saw him sweep the dust, and disappeared from Ye Ci's sight with the candlelight.

Ye Ci stood in place, left and right, and simply groped his way to the side of the wall, wanting to touch it with his hand to see, there was something on the wall that had just caused the Taoist priest to stop and stare at it.

It's a pity that she is not blind after all, in the dark, the sensitivity of touch is far from as high as she imagined, and after touching it for a while, she found that the undulating wall is not too strange, but it hurts a little to prick her hand, so she simply gave up, turned around and sat down next to the corner.

The Taoist priest didn't lie to him, and after a while, he came back again, glanced at Ye Ci indifferently, and didn't speak, just walked straight to the stone door of the tomb.

Ye Ci cautiously followed behind him, and when he saw that he extinguished the candlestick in his hand after leaving the stone gate, he couldn't help but ask: "Why did the Taoist master put out the fire."

But before he could speak, he was covered by the Taoist priest from behind, and a sandalwood fragrance greeted his nose. It wasn't until the two of them walked to the bottom of the cave entrance of the tomb that the bustling voices on the ground came again, and the Taoist priest let go of her and said in a deep voice: "Enter the extreme yin land, disturb people's purity, and leave now, and you want to return its purity." If you talk about it, you are likely to get into trouble in the future."

Ye Ci didn't seem to understand it, and he wasn't ready to ask again.

Suddenly, I smelled a strong smell of smoke wafting in, and thought that it must be that the people in the village had begun to start a fire outside.

While coughing, he tilted his head and said, "Dao, Dao Chief, this cave has been sealed by the people in the village outside with a big stone tablet, and we can't get out of here."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pair of hands around his waist tightly, and then his whole body was light, only to hear a huge rumbling sound from the top of his head, and then his feet fell to the ground, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already standing on the flat ground with a large plastic sheet outside the cave.

The people in the village didn't speak for a while, looking at Ye Ci with a frightened expression, or rather, at the Taoist priest standing beside her.

Ye Ci had never been stared at like this, and now in the face of these dozens of pairs of blazing eyes, he immediately felt dizzy, and he was taken by the Taoist priest for a while just now, and now the whole person is a little prostration.

The Taoist priest seemed to be able to feel her illness, and gently brushed her back with a whisk behind him, and after a moment, his whole body suddenly felt much clearer.

Miao Lili had already run over from the side at this time, shouting: "Master, are you okay, did this beauty save you just now, master."

The person next to the village chief who was called Lao Zhuang immediately stood up and shouted: "Put your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu has never seen a Taoist priest who looks like this, uh, looks so good, and when he comes out of that tomb, he must be a monster!" ”

As soon as he said this, the people around him began to echo him, holding axes and shouting, "Youkai! Monster! ”

Where had Ye Ci seen such a formation, and a cold sweat flowed out for a while.

But the Taoist priest didn't seem to care at all, brushed the dust lightly, and whispered to Lao Zhuang not far away: "There will be residual grievances with big grievances." Your past hatred has been avenged, don't do anything desperate again. If you can always be with good people, perhaps, you can live a few more years, otherwise".

Where could Lao Zhuang listen to the words of the Taoist priest, and immediately shouted loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, you really think you are the king of heaven."

Seeing that Lao Zhuang did not listen to persuasion, the Taoist priest had to sigh lightly, put his finger on Ye Ci's forehead slightly, and recited a few words silently in his mouth, then withdrew his finger and turned to leave.

A few men in the village would let him walk lightly, and came up one by one to block him, but unfortunately they were all resisted by the Taoist priest with the palm wind, and then shook off the dust, and they were shaken out half a meter away, and they all lay on the ground whining and wailing.

Ye Ci came back to his senses and couldn't help shouting at the back of the Taoist priest leaving: "I don't know the number of the high Dao law, where to practice, and in the future, the good believers will go to visit and thank you!" ”

The Taoist priest glanced back at her, his calm gaze was not shocked, and replied, "I'll see you again."
