Chapter 70: The Calm Before the Storm

Not to mention how the people who built the ancient tombs wrote the dense text under the roof, the paint should have faded long after thousands of years.

If this is a completely enclosed area, where there is no oxygen and no oxidation reaction, I can understand that the pigment can be preserved intact.

However, although the inside of this stone gate is protected by a stone gate, it is actually an open space - in the center of the zenith, there is a small open garden roof.

At that roof, a ray of moonlight shone obliquely down and shone on the tomb. The only thing that could be in a closed state here is probably the sarcophagus.

I looked at this structure and guessed that the coffin in this stone gate should be a coffin within a coffin.

There is no burial bed here, but a rectangular rectangular groove has been dug in the ground, and a huge sarcophagus is inlaid in the groove, and the coffin is supposed to be encapsulated in a special way.

Hu Dabao didn't know how to deal with this kind of coffin within a coffin, so he circled around the sarcophagus and didn't find any doorways, so he directly asked his subordinates to continue to try to pry open the four sides of the sarcophagus first, and then everyone opened the lid together.

The sarcophagus was unexpectedly easy to open, after opening, Hu Dabao actually found that there was a wooden coffin inside, startled, everyone looked around for a while, and found the nails nailed to the four corners, so they took out their tools and began to knock out the nails of the cover first.

Hu Dabao took his subordinates to watch inside at this time, but I kept watching from behind.

The white candle placed in the southeast corner had completely melted and extinguished at some point, and was gradually turning into a pool of blood, slowly passing in the direction of the Jaw Stone Gate.

That kind of thick white candle is usually impossible to burn out even if it is left for a whole day, but just now, after the flame trembled for a while, it was immediately replaced by a dark blue candle flame, and the burning speed increased sharply, but what was emitted was a chill that forced people to freeze their bones.

What surprised me was that Hu Dabao pried open the wooden coffin outside of this, and sure enough, a bunch of gold and silver treasures were found around the dried corpses in the wooden coffin, among which there were four divine beast jade, Hu Dabao did not touch the other treasures inside, but just took out the divine beast jade.

The place where these four divine beast jade is placed is also weird, two are in the left and right hands, one is in the mouth of the dry corpse, and the last one is actually stuffed in the eyes.

I originally thought that Hu Dabao would definitely not be able to leave the ancient tomb alive this time, but in the end, Hu Dabao actually left the ancient tomb unharmed after taking out the Four Divine Beast Jade.

In that case, what is the previous phenomenon? This stone gate doesn't seem to be much different from the ordinary ancient tomb chamber? I had some doubts in my mind.

Liu Tian didn't seem to expect that Hu Dabao would really be able to collect the Four Divine Beast Jade, and he was very shocked at the moment, and then immediately cast a spell to summon Hu Hui's scattered soul back.

With the help of the Four Divine Beast Jade, let alone Liu Tian, I estimate that even I can easily bring Hu Hui's soul back - the Four Divine Beast Jade has a great effect, but this kind of heaven and earth spiritual creature is something that can be encountered but not sought.

I have to say that although Hu Dabao had a bumpy fate in the first half of his life, he was really favored by God in the second half of his life. However, God still doesn't seem to plan Hu Dabao's smooth end of life after all.

After Hu Hui's soul was brought back by the Four Divine Beast Jade, Hu Hui cultivated for a period of time and was able to get out of bed again. Of course, the happiest one is Hu Dabao, and the sad one is Hu Xiang - after knowing that Hu Hui has become a vegetative person, she can wake up laughing every day when she falls asleep.

Although he still couldn't get Hu Dabao's love, and even his adoptive mother, who had always loved him, had the intention of snubbing him, Hu Xiang didn't feel sad.

In any case, she is already a child who grew up in the Hu family, as long as Hu Hui can continue to live in a vegetative state like this, then everything in the Hu family will not be hers in the end?

Hu Xiang is not the only one who thinks like this, the subordinates of the Hu family have also changed their attitude towards Hu Xiang after Hu Hui fell into a coma.

In fact, most of the subordinates of the Hu family don't like Hu Xiang, mainly compared to Hu Hui, Hu Xiang is too poisonous, but now Hu Hui is no longer there after all.

They are just mere people, and if they want to live a good life, they must choose a good master and stand in a good team. In this kind of big family, in fact, the attitude of the subordinates can truly reflect some of the situation in the family.

However, it has only been less than half a year since Hu Xiang's dream came true, and the news that Hu Hui suddenly woke up came to her ears like a thunderbolt from a sunny day.

When Hu Xiang went to the hospital to see his sister who had woken up, it was like eating, his face was stiff and black, not to mention how ugly it was.

In fact, it was not only Hu Dabao's wife who caused Hu Hui's soul to fly away, but Hu Xiang also knew about it, that is, an accomplice. But his wife knew that Hu Dabao would definitely exile Hu Xiang if he knew the truth, so she chose to hide it.

In any case, Hu Xiang's child was also raised by herself, and she can't bear to watch that kind of scene if she is driven out of the house now. When Hu Xiang arrived at the hospital, Hu Dabao's wife immediately pulled Hu Xiang into the bathroom.

His wife said to Hu Xiang, when you enter the ward for a while, you must take your stinky face away from me, otherwise your father will definitely suspect it if you see it.

Hu Xiang smiled miserably and said self-deprecatingly, so what? Now that Hu Hui has come to life, there is no difference between my father knowing and not, anyway, I will never be able to compare to Hu Hui.

The wife solemnly said to Hu Xiang, if you want to be a rich lady in this life, then you will listen to me, put away the thoughts that harm Hu Hui from now on, and never move evil thoughts again, otherwise, I will be the first to clean you up.

Hu Xiang looked at his adoptive mother's indifferent and resolute face, and suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, and muttered, Mother, do you remember what you told me that if you meet someone better than you, what should you do?

My wife said I don't remember, I don't remember what I said to you, so you don't remember it from now on, understand?

Hu Xiang didn't answer her, just lowered his head deeply and was silent. The wife told her to come to the hospital room after she had sorted out her emotions, and then left the bathroom.

After a long time, Hu Xiang slowly raised her head, her eyes were full of indifference and emptiness, she looked at the ceiling, and muttered: "Mother, you forgot, but...... I can't forget who brought me up like this......

Looking at Hu Xiang like this, I also sighed secretly in my heart. I know that a child like Hu Xiang has actually been distorted in his heart since he was a child.

Just imagine, when you are only eight or nine years old, you can watch your partner die, how indifferent a person must be?

Maybe Hu Xiang was not born with this kind of character, but when she was in the orphanage, her initial personality had already been formed. When people grow up, they will find that the habits they developed in childhood are the most difficult things to change.

After Hu Hui left the hospital, Hu Dabao's wife began to treat Hu Hui well after reconciling with her husband.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, although Hu Hui's soul has changed, after all, it is the child she conceived and born in October, and she has no reason not to be in pain.

After changing her mind, Hu Dabao's wife found that Hu Hui's child didn't know how many times stronger than Hu Xiang.

is not only talented in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also has a simple and kind personality, which completely follows her father. At first, his wife still felt guilty about Hu Hui, but when Hu Hui took the initiative to open up to her, she completely spoiled her own daughter.

After Hu Hui woke up, Hu Xiang's status at home was passively plummeting - although Hu Hui had never bullied Hu Xiang with her identity, I think it was almost inevitable that Hu Xiang would have hatred for Hu Hui.

The people of the Lin family also learned about Hu Hui's recovery, and Lin Fei rushed over as soon as possible - this kid is also an infatuated species, and he has not seen other women since Hu Hui became a vegetative person.

In order to seize the opportunity during this period, Hu Xiang actually took the initiative to hook up with Lin Fei many times, but Lin Fei didn't look at Hu Xiang at all, which also hit Hu Xiang hard.

The two young people discussed the matter of marriage again, and this time Hu Dabao was very cautious and invited Liu Tian to choose a good day for himself. This time, there was no mistake, Hu Hui and Lin Fei held a wedding banquet and became husband and wife.

But Lin Fei is also a good man, he knew that Hu Hui was in love with his family and couldn't bear his father, so he promised Hu Hui to settle down in Qingyun Town. So Hu Dabao and Hu Hui can also meet each other in three days, and Hu Dabao can be regarded as having no last wishes.

However, rather than saying that this is the beginning of the Hu family's happy life from now on, I feel more like the eve of a storm.

Grandpa must have his reason for not letting Hu Dabao open the jaw stone door. More than a month after Hu Hui got married, strange phenomena began to appear on Hu Dabao's body.

Hu Dabao had never had the habit of sleepwalking before, but I don't know what day it started, when Hu Dabao woke up, he suddenly found himself standing by the well, and his whole body was wet.

At the beginning, Hu Dabao didn't take things to heart, but when this phenomenon of sleepwalking continued to occur frequently, in the end, Hu Dabao woke up once and found himself pinching his wife's neck, this time he realized the seriousness of the matter.

Not only did he almost strangle his wife, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, Hu Dabao seemed to see his nails become thin and long in an instant, still blood-red, and a pair of stubby hands turned into skinny and bones.

After that, Hu Dabao felt that he had become very afraid of the cold - it was obviously a hot summer of more than 30 degrees, but Hu Dabao had to shrink in the quilt and shiver, his face was pale, and cold sweat continued to flow down.

At the same time, he felt his skin gradually numb to the touch, and his hands almost couldn't help but scratch his neck. The whole body is getting more and more numb, and only the feeling of the neck is very sensitive, even extremely sensitive.

Even if it was just a gentle gust of wind, Hu Dabao had to immediately scratch his neck for more than ten minutes, and the scratched skin broke and the blood flowed before he stopped, and soon after there were many more blood scabs on his neck.

But even these blood scabs couldn't last too long, and these blood scabs would soon be scratched by Hu Dabao himself. Although Hu Dabao wanted to hide his symptoms, he was finally recognized by his family.

His wife and Hu Hui kept asking Hu Dabao what was wrong, but Hu Dabao was silent for a long time before he talked about what his grandfather told him that he should not open the stone door.

After Hu Dabao finished speaking, in order to comfort his daughter, he said that it might have nothing to do with the matter of the Jiejing Shimen, but he was sick, and he would go to the hospital in two days. Hu Hui was filial and wanted to reassure his father, so he complied, but the next day he quietly went to find Liu Tian, the underground burial master.
