Chapter Thirty-Eight: Ancient Coins
Thinking of this, I saw the copper coin in my hand, and an inexplicable frenzy surged in my heart.
I said happily, "Why don't we go and find the copper coins together?" ”
"How about we go and find the copper coins together?"
King Ling and I said a sentence at the same time, looked at each other in surprise, and then looked at each other and smiled.
Lingzheng's face was a little cold, and he looked at me and my Ling Wang's tomb with eyes, like a husband who caught his wife cheating...... Wait, what is this analogy for me?
"Lingzheng, do you want to come along?" I blinked, looking at him expectantly.
If he is with us, our strength can increase a lot, not to mention, I may be able to cultivate a good relationship with him on the way.
When we find the copper coin, maybe I'll be with him too, and this ending is so perfect!
Lingzheng didn't speak, looked down at the ancient book in his hand, and just when we retracted our lost gaze and were about to give up, he suddenly hummed softly.
"The Spirit is there, you promised? You promised? Did you really say yes? ”
I screamed in surprise, eager to hug him and kiss him hard.
"Lingzheng, Lingzheng is so good!" I said happily.
"Hmm." He hummed again and looked at me softly.
King Ling's tomb also smiled, smiling and smiling, not knowing what he thought, he snorted lightly.
On the last page of the ancient book, Wang Mingyang mentions that he engraved the secret of the hiding place of the eleven copper coins on his back. We carefully turned Wang Yinyang's body over, and on the skin on the back, a map was drawn, and dense words were written on the map.
The words are too small and too unclear.
The three of us bowed to Wang Mingyang's corpse, kowtowed three times, and said sorry. Then King Ling's tomb took the Tianshui Sword and cut off the skin on Wang Mingyang's back.
We put the coffin back shut, took the map, the ancient book and the copper coins, and began to think about how to get out.
This is the number one priority at the moment, no matter how great we have just imagined, as long as we can't get out, everything is in the vernacular.
"Climb up." Lingzheng looked up at the towering ancient tree.
I looked at it and understood what he meant, no matter what kind of tree it is, it needs sunlight to grow, and this tree can grow so big now, if there is no sunlight to kill me, I don't believe it. In other words, no matter how tall the tree is, there will always be sunlight shining down on it. And there can be no sunlight in the ancient tomb, as long as we see the sun, then we have found the exit.
But......
"This tree is so high, how can we climb it? If you accidentally slip your hands and feet in the middle, you will be finished if you fall off. I said worriedly.
"The old way." As he spoke, he rose into the air and picked up a coiled vine from the tree and came down.
"Tie the vine around your waist, climb up slowly, and replace it with a higher vine after climbing a section, so that if you accidentally fall down, you won't fall directly to the ground." Lingzheng said lightly, handed me the vine, and turned around to get it again.
King Ling's tomb also took down a vine at this time, and carefully tied a knot around his waist.
I pursed my lips, my heart was horizontal, thinking that I would die later, and I would be a good man again in eighteen years.
No, good girl!
After the three of us were tied, King Ling's tomb went up first in front as usual, I was in the middle, and Lingzheng was last.
The trunk is quite thick, the surface is rough, and it is not too difficult for us to climb and climb up slowly.
After climbing for about an hour, we reached a very high altitude, and when I looked down, I felt dizzy, and it would be strange if I fell directly to the ground.
We sat on a small platform in the trees for a while, rested for a while, and changed to a taller vine by the way.
"I mean, how long will it take to get out?" I wiped my sweat and said.
I'm tired and hungry now, I haven't drunk a sip of water since I've been in the tomb, and my lips are drying open.
I don't know how long we've been in the tomb, but I feel like it's been days.
King Ling's tomb looked up and looked up, and shouted with some surprise.
"Look, there's a glimmer of sunlight up there, and it looks like we'll be on the ground soon."
What the? Sunlight?
I looked up excitedly, and sure enough, I saw a faint light from the dense vines above.
Seeing the sun, I took a few deep breaths, regained some strength, and climbed up with energy.
I don't know how long we climbed, but we finally saw the ground, which was about ten meters away from us at this time. I was so excited that I was about to cry, I had never missed the ground and the sun outside so much, and I didn't know how to cherish it if I didn't lose it.
Ten minutes later, we were on the ground.
I was so tired that I didn't even want my image, I just lay on the ground panting, looking up and squinting at the familiar sky.
"Lingzheng, where is this!" I asked.
It doesn't seem like the mass grave we came from, what kind of place is this?
"It's on the mountain." The Spirit is coming back to me.
"Whatever, just come out anyway." King Ling's tomb laughed a few times.
We rested for a while, stood up and looked at the surrounding environment, sure enough, we were on a mountain, our current position is halfway up the mountain, and the height of the mountain is about three or four hundred meters.
We began to walk slowly down the mountain, and after an hour, we came to the bottom of the mountain, and the crowd around us looked at us with strange eyes.
"These stupid humans are looking at me like this!" King Ling gritted his teeth and said, he is now disgraced, just like he just came back from digging coal, and he is not as handsome and chic as before.
"Don't forget that you were human before, and you may still be human in the future." I retorted to him.
“……”
King Ling's tomb was choked for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond, so he could only stare at passers-by angrily.
"Ah, mom, look, there's a strange Shuli staring at me there, he's so scary, mom, I'm afraid. - He's still glaring at me! Woohoo......"
At this time, a three- or four-year-old child pointed to the tomb of King Ling and shouted, and he was about to cry.
The woman glanced at King Ling's tomb unhappily, and then reluctantly smiled: "Ignore him!" He's sick, let's go. ”
The child took it seriously, looked at the tomb of King Ling sympathetically, obediently left with his mother, and naughtily stuck out his tongue towards the tomb of King Ling before leaving.
King Ling's already dark face became even darker, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"King Ling's tomb, I didn't expect you to have today, hahahahaha......"
“……”
"That...... I'll go take a shower first, and then I'll join you in three days to look for ancient money. King Ling coughed twice, and then quickly left.
I didn't expect him to be a white-faced man, and he paid attention to cleanliness and image.
Lingzheng took me into a taxi and gave me the address to go back to his house.
"Eh, wait a minute, I want to take a shower too, your family shouldn't have the right clothes for me, I'd better go home first." I'm a little embarrassed to say.
Lingzheng didn't seem to think of this, so he turned his face away unnaturally, nodded, and re-reported my address.
When I got home, the first thing I did was to rush into the bathroom with a change of clothes, take a shower, and as soon as I came out, I received a continuous message tone and a phone ringtone.
When I was in the tomb, my phone had no signal at all, and it turned off automatically when it ran out of power.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, including calls from my grandmother, my parents, and a few friends who used to play with good relationships.
And also...... Tang Meng's parents called.
Seeing this, I stiffened for a moment, and at that moment, the phone rang again.
Caller ID: Tang Meng!
I looked at those two familiar words, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Tang Meng!
Tang Meng!
Tang Meng must not be dead!
He didn't kill Tang Meng in King Ling's Tomb, it was just King Ling's Tomb that was lying to me last time, otherwise how could Tang Meng call me?
I trembled my fingers and pressed the answer button.
"Hello?" I fed it.
Instead of the familiar voice, an old female voice came from inside.
"Hey, it's the first year of junior high school?"
It's Tang Meng's mother's.
"Well, auntie, is there something wrong? I've been out for something these days, and I just got home. Hearing this voice, the little hope that had just risen in my heart was suddenly shattered.
"On the first day of junior high school, our family was cloudy...... He's dead! ”
Aunt Tang cried as she spoke, and I could feel her great sadness and despair over the phone.
I covered my mouth to keep myself from crying, and asked softly, "Tang Meng, how did she die?" ”
“…… Someone, someone ripped off the skin alive, the murderer has not been found yet, who do you say is so ruthless, our family Xiaomeng has never had a grudge against people on weekdays, she treats people kindly, how could she ...... How could such a thing happen......"
Aunt Tang couldn't cry on the other end of the phone, and my heart was like a knife at this end.
"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"
I felt like my whole body was broken.
It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me being targeted by King Ling's tomb, he wouldn't have killed Tang Meng and pretended to be her to seduce me.
Tang Meng was killed by me......
"You kid, I'm sorry for what you say, you don't know. Our family's funeral has been scheduled, tomorrow morning, can you come and see her off for the last time? ”
Aunt Tang obviously misunderstood, thinking that when I said sorry, I meant that I didn't know about Tang Meng's affairs in time.
I choked up, "...... Good. ”
If Tang Meng's ghost was still there, she wouldn't want to see me, but I still wanted to see her one last time.
Tang Meng, I'm sorry!
At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, I dressed in white and held a bouquet of flowers, and appeared at Tang Meng's house on time.
Before I entered the door, I felt a strong yin qi, and there was a faint cry from inside the door, there were Aunt Tang's, as well as some other relatives in Tang Meng's family, I have seen a lot of relatives in their family, and the relationship is okay.
I walked in slowly, my nose was sour, and when Aunt Tang saw me coming in, she quickly wiped her tears and came to entertain me.
There was a delicate coffin in the living room, and I Tang Meng was lying in it.
I walked over to the coffin and felt a strong ghostly aura, and then my eyes were jerked over my hands, and I couldn't see anything in front of me, and I felt someone blowing in the back of my neck.
