Chapter 3: Shadow

There was a black gap between the two stone doors, barely enough for a hand.

Mu Xiaowu put her eyes on the gap, trying to see what was in the tomb, but no matter how she squeezed her eyebrows, there was only a condensed black in front of her, and there was nothing else.

"What do you see?" Mu Cripple anxiously urged her beside him.

"I can't see anything," Mu Xiaowu turned around and glanced at Mu Cripple, "This tomb may have been robbed, otherwise the tomb door would have been pried open." ”

Mu Cripple's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "Why don't we go in and have a look?" Maybe there's one or two gold, silver, and jewels left in it......"

"I don't dare to do anything that damages yin morality, do you remember the two gold touchers I saw in Jiangxi before? He died so badly, his head was swollen to the size of three, his eyeballs burst out, and he rolled to the ground, scared to death. ”

Her words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on Mu Cripple's head, completely extinguishing his newly ignited enthusiasm.

"Tsk, forget it," he waved his hand and turned around, "It's too late to hide, how dare you hit these things." ”

When Mu Xiaowu saw him like this, he didn't feel funny, so he said, "Your old courage is getting smaller and smaller, according to me, let's not do that lack of morality, there is nothing wrong with going to this tomb to see, aren't you still curious why there is no monument in front of the tomb?" ”

Mu Cripple thought for a moment and whispered, "It's still ...... Forget it, it's the middle of the night, why bother with that effort......"

"I can't sleep anyway, find something to do."

Mu Xiaowu said that he had already put his hand into the crack of the door, and pulled it to the right, only to hear a "bang", and the dust above the door fell one after another, covering the faces of the two of them, and the seemingly stable stone door was actually opened by her.

Mu Xiaowu covered her nose and squinted her eyes to look into the tomb, with the light outside, the darkness inside was finally diluted, and she could see a straight tomb road leading to the deepest part of the tomb, and there seemed to be something at the end of the tomb, reflecting a few stars of silver light.

"Yes...... Is it a coffin? Mu lame held her shoulder, tiptoed to look in, and then quickly closed his palms and bowed around a few times, "The owner of the tomb is offended, don't mind, the villains just come in to take a look, they will never steal a gold or silver, and they will leave after a while." ”

Mu Xiaowu sighed and said to him, "Don't worship blindly, I don't think it's like a coffin, how many coffins are inlaid with gold and silver?" In my opinion, there may really be a piano, flute, painting or something buried here, let's go in and see. ”

As she spoke, she walked into the narrow tomb passage, and Mu Cripple hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better to stand here with her, so he hurriedly followed and walked with her towards the depths of the tomb.

After walking more than halfway, the light was completely dimmed, Mu Xiaowu lit the fire and waved it inside, and with a "huh" in his mouth, he stood still.

"It's a big box."

Oh, she muttered, and walked inside with the fire fold. Mu lame looked inside, and saw that there was a large wooden box in the innermost part of the tomb, the length and width were close to ten feet, the plate structure, the lid was opened, there were brass ornaments on the front, the pull rings were on both sides of the box, and the nail nose button was not locked.

The wooden box is painted with red lacquer and gold patterns, but over time, most of these gold patterns have already fallen off, and it is no longer clear what is painted. I can only look at the flecked patterns, the stars scatter out little by little, and the firelight flashes, like countless golden ants crawling all over the surface of the box.

Mu Xiaowu hesitated slightly, then walked to the wooden box, she held the fire fold on the box, reached out and touched it, and then said, "Strange, the general box is either camphor wood or nanmu, but this box is made of peach wood." ”

"Peach Wood to ward off evil spirits......" Mu Cripple reminded carefully, and seeing that Mu Xiaowu didn't seem to react, he hurriedly added, "Moreover, this box is not locked, don't run out of it for a while, something evil......"

Mu Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Are you scared and confused?" The copper needle did not move at all, proving that there was no evil spirit here, otherwise I would not dare to come in. ”

"Yes, yes, I am less daring than mustard seeds now, and I have forgotten about it." Mu lame stroked his chest and gasped softly.

However, when Rao said this, the two of them were still a little jealous, especially when a cold wind blew in at the entrance of the tomb. The wind was very strong, and there were rain stars mixed in it, which swooped down on them, causing them to shiver at the same time.

Mu lame shrunk his neck, stared at the nail nose button of the wooden box, and after a while, he hesitated to ask, "That...... Do you want to open it or not? ”

Mu Xiaowu had just laughed at Mu Cripple for being timid, and now he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of him, so he could only say strongly, "It's all come to this point, don't you just take a look and leave?" ”

As she spoke, she handed the fire fold in her hand to Mu Cripple, grabbed the lid of the box herself, and lifted it upwards with force.

The lid sank more than she expected, and with all her might, it didn't move, as if it had been nailed to death. So Mu Cripple put the fire fold on the ground, and also grabbed the lid of the box, and the two of them numbered to three, and at the same time exerted their strength, and finally, the lid of the box was lifted a little.

"Whew."

The moment the lid of the box was lifted, there seemed to be a whimpering sound floating from inside, and Mu Cripple was bluffed coldly, and quickly let go. Mu Xiaowu couldn't support it alone, so he could only let go with him. The lid then fell heavily with a dull "thud".

"You...... You...... Did you hear that? Mu lame staggered back two steps, his hand pointing to the box trembling slightly.

Mu Xiaowu also heard it, not only that, but at the moment when she let go, she also saw a dark shadow passing by the tomb door, and the shadow was close to the tomb door, and the speed was very fast, and it disappeared all of a sudden. However, its taste remained, a fishy, sweet, bloody smell.

"Let's go."

Mu Xiaowu made a decisive decision, and then dragged Mu Cripple, who was still in place, and walked quickly in the direction of the tomb gate, but as soon as Fang turned around, a cold wind covered the surface and blew out the fire on the ground.

The burial chamber was plunged into darkness again, and the wind and rain outside seemed to have stopped for a moment, and the whole burial chamber was silent except for the darkness, which was as if it were about to suck people in.

"End...... It's over, I'm afraid I'm going to provoke these things again. Mu Cripple said dejected words on the side, shrunk and shrunk, and hid behind Mu Xiaowu.

"It's good to eat this bowl of rice, and I know how to panic when I encounter something, and I even forget the ability to take care of the house."

Mu Xiaowu was a little annoyed by what he said, and as soon as he stretched his hand forward, the burden at the tomb door shook a few times, and then, a copper needle dragging a white thread flew towards the two of them.
