23, Tuogu

It was yellow, with scales on its body, like a fish, but it had gastropods, and it got up very quickly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

No, it's not gone, it's hidden in the walls, and if you don't look closely, you can't make out it.

"It's a tombfish." I conclude.

The people around me looked confused, obviously not knowing what a tomb fish was.

It seems that these people were really pulled by Liangtou as stepping stones, and Liangtou should know more.

Tombfish are very old creatures, most of the time only in legends, and only in ancient tombs that are quite old.

They are attached to the tomb and are responsible for guarding the tomb and its owner.

There are tomb fish in this ancient tomb, but we have been in the tomb for so long, but we have not encountered tomb fish outside, but we have been attacked here, which shows that these tomb fish are guarding the tomb chamber in the corridor.

Then, the main burial chamber with a double coffin above is most likely not buried, and it may be just a well-dressed mound at best.

The real owner of the tomb is at the end of the road, in the small gold mine.

While I was thinking about these things, the man who was grabbing my leg just now suddenly screamed again, and I hurriedly looked over and saw him covering his legs, dripping in cold sweat.

He lifted his trouser legs, and saw that several gold threads were squirming upwards on his legs, and there was an obvious wound on his ankle.

"He's hit the Golden Silk Gu." The rest of the people took two steps back in an instant, but they didn't dare to go too far away from me, for fear that they would be tricked.

The man reached out to grab me again: "Miss Meng, Aunt Meng, please save me, I am old and young, I can't die!" ”

He begged me as he desperately tried to grab my leg and stand up, which was pathetic.

I don't know what to do, after all, we don't have much time to stay in the tomb, and we can be attacked by tomb fish or something else at any time, not to mention, now I can be sure that there may not only be Gu seeds in the small gold mine, but also the real tomb owner may be alarmed, and the crisis will exist at any time.

When I was so entangled, behind me, a man rushed up and kicked the man who was dragging me away, and the thief shovel in his hand stabbed it hard.

All I saw was a streak of blood flying out, and the man fell to the ground with a thud, out of breath.

I couldn't believe what I saw, and angrily asked the man with the shovel in his hand: "Why did you kill him?" He's a brother to you! ”

"Yes, it's the brothers who do that!" The man glared and gritted his teeth and said, "We had an agreement before we went to the tomb, once we were infected with the Golden Silk Gu, we would never drag others down, and when we got the gold mine, the brothers' families would all get the best arrangements." ”

"But he was still begging for help just now." I still can't take it.

The man smiled sadly: "Are there still fewer people dyed with golden silk Gu?" Who has survived so far? Do you think we're all wiped out because of him? ”

"You are the hope that will help us live, and we must not be dragged down by him."

The rest of the people all nodded, and one of them said, "Didn't you notice, where you are, those tomb fish don't dare to approach, and the golden silk Gu seems to have spread through those tomb fish." ”

As soon as they said this, I realized that indeed, I came ahead of them, but the tombfish did not attack me, and those who were bitten by the tombfish would have a golden silk Gu attack on their bodies.

But why don't those gravefish come near me?

It's because ...... Jade pendant?

"Why is it so quiet inside? Liang Tou: They don't know what happened. ”

"They've entered the gold mine, so I guess they're counting the gold, right?"

"Then what are we doing in a daze, the gold we got in exchange for our lives can't be less than their share, right?"

A few people, every word you say to me, their minds are full of gold mines, and they have long forgotten about the tomb fish and the golden silk Gu, as well as those brothers who have died.

They used me as a shield and surrounded me in the middle, pushing me in the direction of the gold mine.

The closer I got to the gold mine, the more uneasy my heart became, and the jade pendant in my hand began to shake again, more violently than the previous time outside the tomb.

At the end of the road is a semi-arched stone door, the stone door has been opened, the golden light inside is a little dazzling, we have not seen the legendary gold, but look at this golden light, it is indeed exciting.

"You see, it's really a small gold mine, and this glittering gold is definitely enough for us to squander it in peace for several lifetimes." Someone said excitedly.

As soon as his words fell, a burst of laughter came from inside: "Haha, hahaha! ”

"It was Liang Tou's laughter, and he was so happy that he got carried away."

"I heard it too, it was indeed Liang Tou's laughter, they got it!"

"Let's go in too!"

Saying this, over there, several people had already rushed in without hesitation, leaving me and the man with the shovel in his hand standing still and not moving.

I glanced at him and asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”

"I also have a younger sister at home." He suddenly said, "My sister is seriously ill and needs to go to Kyoto University Hospital to see a doctor, I have no money, and I just happened to meet Liangtou recruiting people, so I came with me." ”

"I don't want much, just enough for my sister to see a doctor, but I have to live to get enough gold, otherwise, my sister will definitely die."

His voice was not loud, but it was loud, and his whole body was tense and his face was very solemn.

The group of people who followed Liang Tou to the tomb were all greedy for money without exception, but the reasons for their greed for money were different, some were greedy from the heart, and some people were the last resort.

I began to sympathize with the man in front of me, and instead asked, "What would you and your sister do if it wasn't a gold mine?" ”

"I'll think of another way, as long as I live, there will always be another way." The man said firmly, suddenly looked up at me suddenly, and said very seriously, "Miss Meng, can I ask you for something?" ”

I wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

He paused, knelt down for me with a pop, startled me, and stretched out his hand to help him up, but he refused: "Miss Meng, the contemptible surname is Wu, called Wu Yong, sister Wu Xin, brother and sister depend on each other, if I can't get out of this ancient tomb in the end, can I ask Miss Meng to settle my sister on my behalf?" ”

This is Tuogu, I can't protect myself now, how can I boast that Haikou promised to take care of his sick sister?

"You don't have to take care of her for the rest of your life, just help her find a better orphanage." Wu Yong looked at me eagerly, I had to nod and agree to him, "But I still hope that you can live well, after all, your sister is only you." ”

Wu Yong nodded vigorously: "I will try to live." ”

With that, he stood up and walked inside the arch.

I let out a long breath and followed.

As soon as I entered the arch and saw the scene in front of me, I was simply stunned.

Inside the arch, it is resplendent like a royal palace.

The surroundings were empty, and they were all standing there, smiling stupidly, looking at what they were stunned by, and on their bodies, the golden threads kept moving, obviously they had been hit by the golden silk Gu.

The strange thing is that they didn't notice it, and they didn't have the slightest pain, everything, it was weirdly scary.

I subconsciously wanted to quit, but as soon as I lifted my foot, I heard a female voice ringing in my ears: "Since you're here, are you going to leave without something?"
