69. Deception
"What!" I asked incredulously.
Brother Neng and Mi Ye nodded seriously.
I've been dead for seven days? Then how can I still come back to life, this is too.
"How so, didn't I fall asleep? We didn't arrange a vigil, I just slept for a while, how could I have been dead for seven days. You're not kidding me. I said to Brother Neng and Mi Ye.
"I don't know, but something very strange happened here. You and I did fall asleep during our vigil, and Sayoko stayed awake, but by the time I woke up, it was the next day, and we always thought you were asleep, but your body gradually became colder. After I found out that something was wrong with you, I originally went out with you on my back, but it's a big deal that you'll be cured and we'll come back. But the entrance to the hall has been sealed, and there is no way out at all, and Sayoko and I have been walking around this ghost tomb for several days, but we haven't found a way out. And you're long gone. Finally we came back here and wanted to bury you in that nanmu coffin. Later, when we were about to leave, we heard your movement, I couldn't believe it at first, but you died silently, and suddenly there was a movement I still think that you must not be dead, we were mistaken. Sure enough, when the coffin lid was opened, I was so happy to see that you weren't dead. Brother Neng said excitedly.
"But why didn't I feel anything, just sleep?" I said.
"Brother, you really don't remember anything? So how can you inexplicably die and come back to life? Mi Ye asked.
"I don't know, but I just slept and didn't dream or anything. You say I'm dead, but I don't feel anything. At most, I'm feeling a little tired now. I said.
"Xiao Linzi, you're still tired after sleeping for so long, it's really strange for you." Brother Neng said with a smile.
"I also think it's weird. By the way, how many days have we been in? I asked.
Brother Neng thought for a while and said, "Today should be the ninth day." ”
"What! Then we have to get out quickly, otherwise Uncle Mi will be in danger. I said quickly.
Mi Ye looked at me and pursed her lips, and finally said: "But brother, Brother Neng and I have searched all over this ghost tomb these days, and all the tombs have been sealed by the Broken Dragon Stone, and we can't get in, and we can't find the "Witch Book", let alone find a way out. ”
"Don't care about these for now, the "Witch Book" can't be found, it's important to save Uncle Mi first. Let's go out and have a look, maybe we can find a way out this time. I said.
Mi Ye nodded obediently.
We put our backpacks on our backs and walked with our weapons on our hands towards the cemetery outside.
I rushed to the front, constantly looking for a way out.
"Xiaolinzi, can you see your surroundings?" Brother Neng looked at me rushing ahead, and didn't turn on the flashlight or headlamp, so he easily avoided the curves and steps and asked strangely.
I was a little puzzled by Brother Neng's question, and said, "Isn't it very bright here?" Why use a flashlight? ”
Brother Neng and Mi Ye immediately stood at a distance from me and looked at me with some vigilance.
"Who the hell are you?" Brother Neng asked solemnly.
I couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Brother Neng, you won't suspect that I'm a corpse pretend, right?" I'm Liu Lin'a, and we opened an antique shop together. What nerves do you have? ”
"You fart, Lao Tzu's brother doesn't have night vision, so he won't walk as smoothly as you in the dark graveyard." Brother Neng said with some annoyance.
"What is this, it's really bright, why do you think it's dark?" I said puzzled.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew.
I saw Brother Neng and Mi Ye faint, and the two of them were held by the air and slowly lay on the ground. Then a shadow came out around the corner. His whole body seemed to be covered in a pitch-black cloak, and he couldn't see it at all. If it weren't for the cloak, I would have thought it was a ghost manipulating the cloak.
"Who are you? What did you do to my friend? "I don't know why I didn't rush up and fight him, but I didn't think he would hurt Brother Neng and Miye.
The Shadow didn't speak. He just took out a white jade scroll from his bosom and threw it to me.
I reached out and grabbed the scroll, and it suddenly disappeared from my hand. It doesn't seem to have happened again.
I looked at my hand incredulously.
The shadow walked over and said in a very jerky tone: "Liu Lin, learn to hide your strength, you have to rely on yourself in the future." You can't use what you learned to be alone, you have to live to the end. ”
With that, he disappeared into the tomb.
"What have I learned?" I asked inwardly. I don't think I've learned anything, huh? Why such inexplicable words.
After I saw him leave, I hurried to check on Brother Neng and Mi Ye, but it was okay, but he fainted temporarily.
I found the sobering medicine bottle from Mi Ye's backpack, put it under the noses of Brother Neng and Mi Ye and shook it. They soon woke up.
I quickly turned on my headlamp, though I didn't know why I was doing it.
"Xiaolinzi, why are you here? What's wrong with us? Brother Neng asked excitedly. And he reached out and hugged me.
I was taken aback by his warm embrace. said: "Brother Neng, let go of me." ”
Brother Neng smiled happily and let go of me. said: "You let us find it, did we encounter any traps that were trapped?" We've been looking for seven days. Thought you were dead. ”
I'm a little confused, weren't we together just now? Why would he ask that.
But my intuition told me that there were some things that I couldn't let Brother Neng and Mi Ye know, so I said with a little weakness: "Yes, I was trapped in a secret room, and I thought I was going to die, but I escaped in the end." ”
"It's okay, let's find the exit quickly, it's almost time, Uncle Mi is still waiting for us." Brother Neng put away his emotions and said.
I'm a little happy and a little sad. I lied to Brother Noh and Mi Ye, but I always felt that the shadow must be right about what I said.
"By the way, why are you here?" I wondered what kind of experience the Shadow had woven for him, and I quickly asked.
"Brother, we have been looking for you in the tomb for seven days, and just now Brother Cai proposed to take a break, so we fell asleep, but I don't know why both of us fell asleep." Mi Ye said with some suspicion.
"I see, I must be too tired these days, it's okay and now we're together again. The time is almost up, let's find the exit. I said quickly.
The Shadow must have made them forget something, and I felt that the muddy waters were too deep and that I had to bear some things myself, so I didn't tell the truth.
The three of us walked in the graveyard. I didn't really need a flashlight to see everything in the graveyard, but I pretended to use one.
"I'm sorry, Brother Neng, Xiaoye. I have deceived you. I whispered to myself.
