The sound of footsteps followed intermittently, accompanied by the familiar drama of Chen Sui.

"Don't love heroes, don't envy arrogance, voluntarily live together, die with the same hole......."

Now, however, it was no longer the woman's voice, but from the mouth of Qiu Ran, who sang it in the most mournful way, mixed with a faint cry, which echoed through the forest like a ghost howl from hell.

Chen Sui felt that the entire bamboo forest was filled with his voice, and the bamboo leaves were shaken by it, and they rushed to fall from above, and an emerald green "rain" fell in the forest.

"Help." Chen Sui ran forward while calling for help, she didn't know how long she had been running, and she didn't know how deep this bamboo forest was, she had no other choice but to run in the direction she identified, although her scarred legs were so tired that they were about to break.

A glimmer of light appeared in the scattered bamboo shadows, orange-red, like a cluster of flickering firelight. Chen Sui's heart was overjoyed, and his steps unconsciously sped up a little.

"Help," she cried out, her voice trembling so hard that she couldn't hear clearly, as if it didn't come from her mouth, "help...... Someone is going to kill me......"

The firelight was ahead, Chen Sui could see clearly, it was a bonfire, the fire was burning very strongly, and there seemed to be a few figures next to it, and now, they seemed to hear her cry for help, and they all stood up and looked at her.

"Help......

After making the last cry for help, Chen Sui's braid was suddenly grabbed by a hand from behind, and she slammed her whole body backwards and fell to the muddy ground.

The moment before closing her eyes, she saw Qiu Ran's face, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, no different from the first time she saw him.

"It seems that there is still a breath, this person's life is really big enough, the bamboo shoot passed through the chest, and he didn't die." After Baotian tried the breath of the disheveled strange woman lying in the bamboo forest, he raised his head and said to Zhao Zimai.

"It's not that she has a big life, it's that the thing that killed her escaped too quickly, so she barely picked up a life." Sang glanced at the woman, then strode to the bamboo forest, twitched his nose slightly, squatted down and twisted up a little soil, leaned in front of his nose and sniffed, then laughed coldly, "I'm worried about being hungry, and there is one here who has been sent to the door." ”

Zhao Zimai followed it closely, and after forgetting a glance at the gloomy forest, he frowned and asked, "What is it?" ”

Sang smirked, "None of the people who have an appetite for me are good, but what it is will only be known when we look at the back of this forest." Zhao Gongzi, do you want to continue on the road or come over to see the excitement? ”

Zhao Zimai was originally going to travel overnight, but when he heard Sang's invitation that he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his heart moved, and he decided to go with it without hesitation.

"Baotian, you take that woman back to the city hospital for healing, and if she wakes up and says something, you will come back and report to me." After turning around and instructing Baotian, he followed behind Sang and Mu Cripple and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Childe, aren't we going back to the capital?" Baotian hugged the woman to the horse, and then remembered this matter, so he chased over and shouted in the forest.

"There's no hurry."

He only waited for two words, Baotian shrugged, shook his head slightly at the back of Zhao Zimai, who was almost covered by green bamboo, and muttered, "Since I met this Mu girl, Gongzi is really less and less like himself." ”

***

At the other end of the bamboo grove was a clearing, and the ground was bare, without even a single weed. But the ground was surrounded by lush bamboo, and this one was empty, like a bald spot on the top of a hairy head, which looked even more strange.

"There is no grass," Mu Cripple poked the ground a few times with the bamboo pole he picked up casually, stroked his beard and smiled, "I don't know what is buried underneath?" ”

Zhao Zimai looked at the open space in front of him, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see the slightest doorway, so he locked two thick eyebrows, and asked at Mu Cripple, "Senior, what will make a piece of fertile soil not grow vegetation?" ”

"Yin Qi, Yin Qi governs all things." Mu Cripple pursed his lips, "In my opinion, there should be a tomb under this land, a big tomb, but to open this tomb, it is not something that my old bones can do." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and then whispered to Sang, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken, "Great Immortal, now that the sky is almost dawn, let's go to the nearby village and hire a few young and strong villagers and ask them to open this tomb." ”

"It's easy to open a tomb, but it's hard to get rid of it." After a while, Sang said this slowly, and his red eyes seemed to penetrate through the soil layer and come to some unknown place underground.

"It ran away."

After a long time, under the doubtful gazes of Zhao Zimai and Mu Cripple, Sang had a cold face and squeezed these words out of his lips with dissatisfaction.

***

The rammed earth was dug up layer by layer, and as Mu Cripple guessed, there was indeed a large ancient tomb hidden under this barren clearing.

The burial chamber is made of blue bricks, the burial roof is vaulted, and there are two large stone doors locked in the front and back, which are carved with moire patterns. There are also eight cat's head tiles and dripping water of the same style on the gatehouse at the top of the tomb gate, four brick carving bucket arches with phoenix tail patterns below, and two brick carvings hanging down below, which looks like a shrunken mansion.

"The tomb is so exquisite, it can be seen that the owner of this tomb is either a high-ranking official or a wealthy businessman," Mu lame sighed, "The dead live better than me, an old man who has lived for half a life. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Zimai couldn't help but smile, but when he turned his gaze to Sang who was squatting next to the tomb, he suddenly put away his smile.

Sang stared at the lower right corner of the tomb, where there was a black hole, not large, but for one person to get out of, and it looked like it had been broken by a robbed tomb. But a single hole was nothing, and just as Zhao Zimai looked inside, he heard a burst of intermittent singing.

The voice came from the mouth of a woman, thin and soft, hidden in a noise, and you had to hold your breath to listen carefully to hear it clearly.

"Don't love heroes, don't envy arrogance, voluntarily live together, die with the same hole......."

It is the lyrics of "The Legend of the West Chamber", she sang this drama poignantly, and every word seemed to be smashed into Zhao Zimai's heart, rippling several water lines.

"Seniors, you ...... Did you hear that? He shook his body and asked at Mu Cripple.

But before he finished speaking, Mu Cripple suddenly pointed to the villagers working below and exclaimed, "Look, the tomb door is open." ”
