29 Grave keepers

After about a few hours of driving, near dusk, I came to a stop in a farmhouse deep in the mountains.

The name of the villa is "Youfeng Laiyi". It looks like a villa of a farmhouse, the mountains and rivers are beautiful outside, the scenery is charming, the inside is very quiet, the gate is a miscellaneous aunt, and the voice should be a nearby villager.

There are a lot of rooms in the villa, we only saw the aunt in charge of the door and a girl who tidied up the house, the girl is about the same age as Xiaoxue, she is ingenious, she saw me, her expression seemed to be a little surprised, but she didn't say much, and when she saw us arrive, she prepared delicious food for us.

Today I am like a wooden man, Xiaoxue took me to Dugu's house in the morning, and then held a succession ceremony, measured the fate of immortals, and other messy things, and now entered the villa. I was tired and hungry, but luckily I had something to eat at the lodge, and I began to gobble it up.

Dugu Mingyue and Dugu Lengyue seem to have something on their minds, they just eat a few bites and it's over, maybe they are immortal cultivators, and their interest in food is not as strong as that of ordinary people.

After Dugu Lengyue saw that I finished eating, she said to the girl who was tidying up: "Xiaozhu, take us to see Granny Gu."

The girl named Xiaozhu said, "Yes, two aunts, I will take you to see Granny Gu."

Xiaozhu led the way, and we followed, walking past a few houses and a small area of ancient forest, and saw three very ordinary tiled houses in the corner behind the villa.

This tile house has only one floor, and the outside is a green brick, very similar to the farmhouse in ancient times, simple and simple, but at this time it is already hazy at night, under the faint moonlight, these three tile houses are covered by the towering ancient trees next to them, which looks a little mysterious and terrifying.

Xiaozhu knocked on the door of the middle room and said inside: "Granny Gu, the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt want to see you."

An old voice came out: "Call them in!" Xiaozhu pushed open the door and said, "Two aunts, please."

Dugu Mingyue, Dugu Lengyue took me in, and I saw that it was pitch black inside. If it weren't for Dugu Lengyue holding hands next to me, I wouldn't have been able to take a step.

When we entered, the door of the tiled house closed silently. An old voice said: "Mingyue, Leng Yue, you brought a stranger in, what is the matter, have you even forgotten the rules of the Dugu family."

Dugu Lengyue said: "Ancient mother-in-law, I brought someone from the ancient tomb." Suddenly, there was a flash of fire, and I saw a candle lit, and next to the candlelight was an old woman with gray hair, her face was full of wrinkles.

I couldn't tell her age, I guessed she was over eighty years old, and the first thing that came to my mind was that of an old witch.

Granny Gu looked at me, and I felt that her gaze was very vicious, and I was uncomfortable being stared at by her.

The ancient woman said in an old and slightly hoarse voice: "Leng Yue, you are going to open the ancient tomb for him." Dugu Lengyue said very respectfully: "Granny Gu, in order to save him, I have no choice."

The old woman said in an old voice: "Leng Yue, don't you know the consequences of opening the ancient tomb."

Leng Yue said: "I know, I just die without regrets."

Granny Gu snorted coldly: "Leng Yue, I haven't seen you for a few years, you dare to break the spell for selfish desires, and now you dare to take a strange boy into the ancient tomb, if you wake up Princess Xiang and blame it, you dare to die."

Dugu Lengyue said: "If Princess Xiang is really to blame, then I will bear it alone."

Granny Gu ignored her, and then swept her gaze to Dugu Mingyue: "Mingyue, you are the eldest sister, and you are getting more and more confused when you can't think of it, and you won't persuade her if Leng Yue is willful."

Dugu Mingyue, her face was flushed, and she looked uncomfortable, so she could only explain: "Granny Gu, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and my fifth sister and I are also here to save him, so we have to bring him here as a last resort, and I hope that Granny Gu will achieve it."

Granny Gu shook her head and said: "It's useless for me to achieve, if you want to enter the ancient tomb, how many risks and tests are needed, even if I let you in, you will also die for a lifetime."

Dugu Lengyue bit her lip and said: "Granny Gu, we have made up our minds, we have no regrets in life and death, and I hope that Granny Gu will be convenient."

The ancient mother-in-law sighed: "Love and hate for thousands of years, love is born by fate; Woe is a blessing, hey! Destiny is determined by heaven, since you are obsessed, then come with me."

Dugu Lengyue pulled me to kneel down to Granny Gu and said, "Thank you Granny Gu for your achievements." Obviously, this ancient mother-in-law is much higher than Dugu Lengyue.

Granny Gu said coldly: "No thanks, whether it is heaven or hell to go in, the old body doesn't know, but the old body has felt for many years, the two girls are lucky and unlucky when they go in, and this young man is unpredictable when he goes in."

Dugu Lengyue said quietly: "Granny Gu, my eldest sister and I also know this, but unfortunately sometimes we can't help ourselves, hey!" Maybe it's as fate should be."

Granny Gu didn't persuade again, she took the candle and walked in front, under the candlelight, her rickety figure staggered, much like the old witch who opened the gate of hell in the movie.

She walked to the corner of the room, and saw that there was a fierce portrait of Zhong Kui, and after she recited the words, the portrait of Zhong Kui slowly rose.

Behind the portrait is a stone wall made of ordinary stones. The ancient mother-in-law's dry and skeletal fingers gently stroked the stone wall, and her mouth recited words, and gradually the appearance of a stone gate appeared on the stone wall.

Granny Gu said to Dugu Leng Yue: "Leng Yue, you are the thirty-eighth palace master of the Dugu family, you insist on entering the ancient tomb, you can only use your blood to open the first stone door."

Dugu Lengyue silently bit her finger and dripped blood on the stone door. The blood dripped onto the stone gate and disappeared immediately.

The ancient mother-in-law said: "Shimen has a spirit, lonely for a hundred years, I haven't fed it for so many years, I'm so hungry, Mingyue, you help Leng Yue." Dugu Mingyue also silently bit her fingers and dripped blood on the stone door.

After about a few minutes, Leng Yue and Mingyue dripped a lot of blood, and the original pale color of the stone gate slowly turned red, and finally the stone door slowly opened, revealing the hole of the black Bu Longdong inside.

I looked at it with a terrible hair, and thought to myself that this first seemingly ordinary stone gate was such an evil door, and it could only be opened after sucking human blood.

The entrance of the cave is one meter five wide, about one meter nine high, just enough for an adult to stand up and walk in, Gu Granny leads the way in front, she is followed by Dugu Mingyue, I and Leng Yue are at the back, and the foot is paved with bluestone.

Granny Gu said: "There is a mechanism under this bluestone, you have to follow the shadow of my footsteps, otherwise it will cause big trouble."

Saying that her figure was like a sneaky figure, she began to float over, her fluttering step was three meters away, I was dumbfounded, but I also understood that there must be a mechanism where she didn't stay, she didn't want to touch the mechanism, so she jumped over.

Dugu Lengyue and Dugu Mingyue are both cultivators, according to their abilities, ordinary hidden weapons will definitely not be able to hurt them, but I will be in trouble, once I step on the mechanism, maybe the arrows will fly, and if I can't dodge, I will die.

I am fifteen years old, about one meter seven tall, Dugu Mingyue is about the same height as me, and Dugu Lengyue is two or three centimeters taller than me. If I want to cross three meters in such a narrow tunnel, I can't do it at all.

Dugu Lengyue obviously knew my difficulties, and she whispered in my ear: "Hold my neck, I'll take you over."

As she leaned her neck over, I reached out and put my arms around her neck, and she put one hand around my waist, like a mother crossing a river with her baby in her arms. Being hugged by her like this, my body was tightly pressed against her chest, and I smelled the fragrance coming from her, and my heart instinctively fluttered.

I want to say thank you, and then I think about it, it's already this relationship now, and it's redundant to say thank you again.

Dugu Lengyue's steps were very light, she hugged me, and gently followed the pace of Dugu Mingyue in front.

After walking for a distance of about a few hundred meters, the passage suddenly became cheerful, and the ancient grandmother stopped there, waved her fingers, and lit the lantern hanging on the stone wall.

I see that it is an open space with an area of more than 20 square meters, and there is a huge stone gate in front, the front of the door slab is a relief carved with the totem of the phoenix flying, and there are two stone carved lions kneeling on both sides of the stone door.

After Dugu Lengyue landed, she gently put me down.

Gu Po said: "This stone gate is guarded by a spirit snake, and if you want to enter, you need the consent of the spirit snake."

As she spoke, she pointed to a small hole and said, "The spirit snake is dormant inside, and it needs blood to wake it up before it will help you open the stone door."
