Xiong Ming rushed over to look at the stone wall in front of him, stretched out his hand and patted it for a long time, except for a muffled sound of "popping", there was no abnormal movement.

Xiong Ming looked at me and Hua Muling anxiously and said loudly, "Why did you run into a dead end?" Four girls, how did you lead the way? ”

Xiong Ming looked at me again, as if waiting for me to say something. But I didn't speak, but looked at the Yongdaokou not far behind me.

Because at this time, a "squeak, creak" friction sound was coming from that side, which was the characteristic sound of multi-legged arthropods rubbing against the ground when arthropods walked.

Needless to say, it was the black-backed white-spotted millipede that was approaching us little by little at this time.

Faced with the dilemma of having no way out and chasing soldiers behind, the three of us could only choose to retreat a little bit, and try to lean our bodies against the stone wall at the end of the corridor, as if only in this way could we give ourselves a sense of security.

I held my breath, looked at the little elongated figure at the corner of the corridor, and listened to the scalp-numbing "creaking" sound, I knew that the black-backed white-spotted millipede was coming!

Time is often relative, and when you don't pay attention to it, it's always fleeting, but when you put all your attention on it, you may find that it passes much slower than ever.

The minutes ticked by, and none of the three of us spoke, for all our attention was on the black-backed white-spotted millipede.

But what none of us expected was that the black-backed white-spotted millipede was about to cross the corner, and somehow its whole body suddenly stopped moving.

In the face of this sudden change, the three of us are a little confused, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do for a while.

Xiong Ming looked at me, lowered his voice and asked, "Hu Tian, what's the situation?" ”

I also lowered my voice and whispered, "How do I know?" But don't act rashly, Mighty Bear! Let's see the situation first! ”

Xiong Ming nodded and said, "Gotcha!" Don't worry! Master Xiong, I ......"

Xiong Ming said and propped his hand on the wall, trying to straighten his body trapped in the sand. But at this moment, the place where his hand was pressed suddenly "clicked" and fell into a large piece.

Xiong Ming was shocked and shouted in a low voice: "Not good! I think I've pressed some kind of mechanism! ”

After saying that, this guy wanted to take his hand away. But as soon as Xiong Ming was about to move, Hua Muling on the side suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Don't move!" ”

Xiong Ming was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The four girls of the Hua family, what's wrong?" I'm stressed out like this, you know? ”

Hua Muling did not answer Xiong Ming's words, but pointed to the roof of the corridor.

Xiong Ming and I looked up in the direction of Hua Muling's finger, but saw that there were more than a dozen steel arrows on the roof of the corridor at this time.

They flashed with a cold light, and it felt like poisonous snakes were staring at us, and if we made the slightest movement, they would pounce on me and kill me on the spot.

I looked at the steel arrows on the roof, swallowed involuntarily, lowered my voice and said, "I said Mighty Bear, don't move your hands!" I don't even have a girlfriend! Don't be a hedgehog, I don't want to be a hedgehog yet! ”

Xiong Ming listened to my words and scolded in a low voice: "This makes you nag!" It's like who has a girlfriend! ”

After Xiong Ming finished saying this, he glanced sideways at Hua Muling on the side.

Hua Muling found that Xiong Ming looked at him again, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Xiong Ming, what do you think I'm doing?" ”

Xiong Ming looked at Hua Muling for a while, and said thoughtlessly, "The four girls of the Hua family, do you have a boyfriend?" ”

Hua Muling was stunned for a moment, turned her face to glare at Xiong Ming and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Xiong Ming gripped his teeth and said, "You see that's the case! If you have a boyfriend, let's not talk about it. If you don't have a boyfriend, why don't you pick one between the two of us, and if you can make a couple, isn't it? Maybe we will go to see Lord Yama together in a while, and we will not be alone on the Yin and Yang Dao, right? ”

Xiong Ming said a serious thing, which can make Hua Muling angry enough. , according to my estimate, if it weren't for the tense situation now, Hua Muling would have been able to go up directly to give this kid two big mouths!

After listening to it, I couldn't help but give Xiong Ming a thumbs up and said, "Bad cheats, strong bear!" I haven't seen you for a few years, and now you're playing hooligans. ”

The bear understood me, gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice: "Side...... Play Go! ”

Hua Muling whispered, "When is this?" Can you two stop messing around? ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Okay! ”

I saw that Xiong Ming didn't react, so I looked at Xiong Ming in surprise, and found that this guy was looking at his hand pressed into the stone wall seriously.

I realized that something wasn't right, so I asked sharply, "Mighty Bear, what's wrong?" ”

Xiong Ming didn't answer me, but slowly held his other hand on the forearm of the other hand, and after only a while, beads of sweat the size of beans began to flow down Xiong Ming's cheeks.

At the same time, a tooth-aching sound of iron grinding came from inside the walls and from the ceiling.

It took Xiong Ming a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth, "Mechanism begins...... Bounced back...... I can't stand it anymore...... Zoroastrianism...... Think of a way to ......"

More than a dozen steel arrows on the roof of the corridor adjusted their crosshairs little by little with the rotation of the mechanism, ready to shoot the person who appeared in front of them into a hedgehog at any time.

The dark red sand still flowed and rustled, as if to bury everything that entered it.

The faint fluorescent red still shrouded the entire corridor in an extremely strange atmosphere, and at the same time, it also stretched the figure of the black-backed white-spotted millipede extremely long at the turn of the Yongdao crossing.

—— —— —— ——

The red light was beating, but the light at this time did not come from the weird fine sand of Yongdao, but from the candle in the hand of a person, the candle in the hand of Xu Erye.

Xu Erye stood in front of the coffin lying in front of Bashou Liu with a candle, looking at everything in that coffin.

This is already the fourth coffin that Xu Erye has carefully inspected.

Like the previous three coffins, there was really nothing in the coffin except for the black-brown sand.

Xu Erye stood in front of the coffin, thought for a while, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he slowly reached into the coffin and grabbed a handful of black-brown sand, twisted it with his thumb, index finger and ring finger, and then put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly felt that an unpleasant fishy smell had penetrated into his nose.

The smell is very special, although it smells extremely fishy, but there seems to be some kind of aroma of Chinese herbs mixed with the fishy smell.

Second Master Xu frowned, raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Ming and asked, "When did they disappear?" ”

Xu Ming thought for a while and said, "It was only about half an hour ago. ”

Second Master Xu frowned and asked, "Half an hour ago?" What were you doing then? Aren't you watching here? ”

Xu Ming didn't answer, but glanced at Chen Liansheng who was standing on the side.

Chen Liansheng is the steward of these three generations of disciples, and the class guarding these coffins today was also arranged by Chen Liansheng himself.

When Chen Liansheng saw Xu Ming looking at him, he immediately understood what Xu Ming meant by being afraid of taking responsibility, so he stood up and said, "Second Master Xu, it's like this!" Because most of the brothers had gone out to check the news today, and there were not many people left in the house, I only asked the two of them to take turns guarding the coffins. ”

Xu Ming nodded on the side and said, "Yes, yes!" That is true! ”

Chen Liansheng continued: "And just half an hour ago, when Xu Ming and Li Xiaocong from the previous shift were changing shifts, they suddenly found smoke coming out of one of the coffins, and then smoke was also coming out of the other three coffins. ”

Xu Ming added on the side: "At that time, Li Xiaocong and I thought that someone in the coffin deliberately set fire, so I hurriedly ran back to find a fire extinguisher. But when I came back with the fire extinguisher, the white smoke from the coffin suddenly disappeared. Then, Li Xiaocong and I went to inspect the smoking coffins, and found that the people who were lying inside were gone. ”

After listening to Xu Ming's words, Second Master Xu frowned and asked, "Are you sure there was no one else in the courtyard at that time?" ”

Xu Ming said: "I'm sure! It took me less than two minutes to go back and forth, and with Li Xiaocong from the previous shift watching, I was sure that there was no one in the yard at that time. ”

Second Master Xu didn't seem to believe Xu Ming's words very much, so he asked again: "Are you sure?" ”

Xu Ming nodded and said, "I'm sure!" ”

Xu Erye nodded, then turned his head and asked Chen Liansheng: "Where is Li Xiaocong and the others?" ”

Chen Liansheng said: "At this time, he should go back to his room to sleep." ”

Xu Erye frowned slightly, and said, "There is such a big thing in Yiyuan Zhai, this kid still has the heart to sleep!" Damn it! Let's go, take me to his room! ”

Chen Liansheng hurriedly said: "Yes! Second Master Xu, go this way! ”

After speaking, Chen Liansheng led the way first, leaving Xu Ming to continue to guard the coffin, after all, the remaining two coffins were still lying Hou Dayong and Hua Sanniang.

Chen Liansheng took Xu Erye around the backyard where the coffin was parked, passed a small building, and stopped in front of the third room below the small building.

Chen Liansheng looked at Second Master Xu and said, "Second Master Xu, it's here!" This is Li Xiaocong's room. ”

Xu Erye nodded and said, "Knock on the door!" Call this kid out of here! ”

After Chen Liansheng nodded in response, he strode to the door and knocked three times.

Chen Liansheng's knock on the door was not small, but what was strange was that the kid named Li Xiaocong didn't come out to open the door after three clicks, or rather, there was no reaction at all in the room.

Chen Liansheng said in surprise: "Huh? ”

Second Master Xu asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Liansheng said: "That's not right! ”

Xu Erye asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Liansheng said: "Li Xiaocong, this kid has a serious mental breakdown, whoever farts in front of his door on weekdays, he can wake up, what's wrong with it today?" He didn't react at all when I knocked on the door? That's weird too! ”

After listening to Chen Liansheng's words, Xu Erye frowned and thought for a while, then pushed Chen Liansheng away, raised his foot and kicked Li Xiaocong's door open.

What Xu Erye and Chen Liansheng didn't expect at all was that the kid named Li Xiaocong was sitting in the middle of the room at this time, looking at them with a weird smile.

It's just that Li Xiaocong's head is not on his own neck, but on the palm of his hand.
