Chapter Thirty-Six: The Peach Wood Amulet

"What do you guys think?" I turned to the side and asked Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue.

I can't just say anything about this kind of life, and if one of them doesn't want to take the risk, I can't force anything.

"My thoughts are the same as yours, no matter what, I have to find Qin Dong and the three of them first, and then leave here together. Even if it is a big risk, it is worth the big price. When Li Huiyan heard this, she replied without thinking about it.

After all, the six of us came here from school together, and we may not have been familiar with each other in our respective classes a few days ago, but after a few days of riding and traveling, we have already become inseparable companions.

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought." Xiao Yue also nodded again and again, and said in a rare serious tone: "Anyway, if it weren't for Sister Li Zi and rice cakes, I might have died a long time ago." I picked up this little life, of course I want to be with you. ”

Hearing Xiao Yue, who has always been smug and heartless, say this, I can't help but sigh a little, it seems that not everyone values their lives the most, there are still many things in this world that are more valuable than life.

It's just that before I had time to praise Xiao Yue's progress in ideological consciousness, I heard her continue to whisper: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, if I really die, I must be allowed to eat snacks before I die, otherwise I will die blindly." ”

Xiao Yue's little muttering made me and Li Huiyan a little crying and laughing, they were still thinking about eating snacks at this time, they really deserved to be the king of snacks.

was amused by Xiao Yue like this, and the originally depressed mood couldn't help but relax a lot.

Now that you have decided to take the tomb road on the left, you just don't think about it so much, maybe it's not as dangerous as Liu Laoqi said?

"Nephew, have you really decided to take the tomb path on the left?" Liu Laoqi asked me again with a serious expression.

"Well, it's been decided, our three separated friends may be trapped in this graveyard, and we can't sit idly by." I nodded and replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Alright then, I hope all my worries were unnecessary, and maybe both of these tunnels lead to the main burial chamber."

Liu Laoqi sighed, and then said:

"This peach amulet was given to me by my master when I first became a carpenter thirty years ago, it is said to be made of thousand-year-old peach wood, and there are also masters who have passed it with spells, I will give it to you now, I hope it can keep you safe."

After Liu Laoqi finished speaking, he took out a round object with a diameter of about one inch from his arms and handed it to me.

I took the peach wood amulet handed over by Liu Laoqi, and I felt a little warm in my hand, thinking that it was with Liu Laoqi's body temperature. It can be seen that Liu Laoqi is very fond of this peach wood amulet, and he must have kept it close to him all the time.

I took the mahogany amulet in my hand and carefully observed it a few times, and saw that this amulet was dark gold, not like it was dyed with paint, but like the wood was originally this color.

In addition, the front of this amulet is carved with a sword in his left hand and a talisman in his right hand, and a Tai Chi Bagua pattern is carved on the back, and around this Tai Chi Bagua pattern is also carved a circle of obscure Taoist runes.

I can't tell the specific age just by appearance, but the peach wood amulet that Liu Laoqi gave me is not an ordinary item at first glance, and it is definitely an extremely rare treasure.

Of course, I still have some doubts about the origin of this mahogany amulet.

Liu Laoqi is talking about what his master gave him when he first became a carpenter, but it always makes people a little suspicious, how can an ordinary carpenter have such a thing? I secretly guessed that maybe this peach wood amulet was a spiritual weapon that Liu Laoqi poured out of a certain tomb, so I deliberately said this in order to let me accept it with confidence.

Still, I felt a little embarrassed. It was already a last resort to deceive Liu Laoqi in order to save his life, but now how can they ask him for such a valuable thing.

"Uncle Seven, this talisman is too valuable, I can't ask for it, you better take it back." Although I was a little reluctant, after I glanced at the peach wood amulet a few times, I still reached out and handed the amulet back to Liu Laoqi, and said.

"No matter how precious things are, there is no small life precious, and this amulet has saved my life in the tomb several times. Now I give it to you for no other than to hope that it will bless the three of you in peace. For a old man like me, half of my body is already in the ground, this kind of good thing is a waste on me. ”

Liu Laoqi did not reach out to take the talisman, but said with a smile.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

In all fairness, I liked this peach amulet at first sight, but after all, it was someone else's thing, and I always felt a little uncomfortable taking it for nothing.

"Little brother, you can accept this talisman with confidence and boldness, we have a lot of good things on the seventh master, I don't care about the one I give you." The monkey said with a smile on the side.

The other tomb robbers also made a round of noise, which made me a little embarrassed.

"Fuck off, I want you dogs to talk a lot, and you bastards don't have to worry about Lao Tzu's things." Liu Laoqi pretended to be angry and scolded a group of tomb robbers behind him.

The tomb robbers burst into laughter again, and the awkward atmosphere in the audience finally eased a lot.

"Since it is a piece of Old Man Liu's heart, you can accept it, if you can be blessed by this talisman and meet Old Man Liu in the main tomb at that time, you will return it to the old man when the time comes." Li Huiyan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, also whispered on the side.

"Yes, yes, anyway, they all said that this old man has a lot of good things on him, and there is no shortage of this one, right?" Xiao Yue also hurriedly said.

"Then thank you Uncle Seven." Seeing that everyone said this, if I continued to twist it, I would become the target of everyone, and after carefully putting away the peach wood amulet in my hand, I thanked Liu Laoqi.

"Nephew, if you insist on taking the left passage, we may really have to go our separate ways. I still have so many brothers' lives in my hands, and I can't walk through the left graveyard like you, but can only choose a safer and more secure path. Liu Laoqi put away his smile and said to me with a serious expression.

"Uncle Seven, you don't have to say so much, I can understand your thoughts." I nodded and said to Liu Laoqi.

I have no right to judge Liu Laoqi and their choices, after all, they have nothing to do with us, and there is no reason to force others to take risks with us.

If Liu Laoqi hadn't shown up to help before, I'm afraid that the three of us would still be trapped under that pool now, and Xiao Yue would probably have died a long time ago.

It is reasonable for me to have any dissatisfaction and complaints against Liu Laoqi. What's more, he was kind enough to give me all the valuable amulets he kept close to him, so there was no reason to complain about anything.

Subsequently, Liu Laoqi instructed his subordinates to distribute some fresh water and food to us, and gave us a fully charged flashlight that had not been used.

"Take care!" After everything was done, Liu Laoqi patted me on the shoulder and said, then turned around and walked towards the passage on the right.

"Uncle Seven, take care." I replied in the same way.

turned around and looked at Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue. I saw a hint of worry in their expressions and eyes, but there was no fear, everything was silent.

"Let's go too." Glancing at the empty tomb on the left, I said to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue, and then walked into the tomb first.

Fearing danger in the tunnel, the three of us walked slowly, and after about ten minutes, we turned the first corner.

The tomb in front of it was completely different from the empty appearance before, and as far as the eye could see, a few bones covered with cobwebs and some broken ceramic crockpots and other funerary objects could be faintly seen.

Although the three of us did not encounter any danger after passing through the previous passage, none of us dared to let our guard down at this time. I took the lead in the front, taking every step carefully, almost repeating the test several times before I dared to really settle down.

Just when I stretched out my feet together to test it, Li Huiyan, who was originally walking behind me, suddenly pushed me hard. My center of gravity was unsteady for a moment, and I staggered forward several steps under my feet.

The sudden change scared me into a cold sweat, but fortunately there was not a dark crossbow mechanism in this passage before, otherwise I might have been shot into a hedgehog by now.

"Why are you pushing me? Do you know how dangerous it is? I was a little annoyed in my heart, and after stabilizing my figure, I turned around and asked Li Huiyan loudly.

"I'm sorry, I just accidentally kicked a rock and didn't walk steadily." Li Huiyan didn't refute, and said with her head down.

"I'm sorry, I just said in a heavy tone. It's just that there are only three of us now, and if there is any danger, there is no one who can help us anymore, so we have to be cautious. The anger in my heart gradually subsided, and I realized that my tone of speech just now was a bit excessive, and I apologized to Li Huiyan.

Even I don't know why, the deeper I go down the cemetery, the more irritable I feel in my heart, and even my temper is much bigger than before.

"Rice cake, don't scold Sister Lizi, it's all my fault just now, I pushed Sister Lizi from behind, and she will bump into you." Xiao Yue took two steps forward, bit her lip, and said to me.

Before I could speak, I heard Xiao Yue continue: "But you can't blame me, just now something pushed me with a lot of force from behind, so I accidentally pushed Sister Lizi." ”

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yue instantly realized that something was wrong, and his face was instantly filled with horror.

Li Huiyan and I were also frightened by Xiao Yue's words, turned around stiffly, and looked at the tomb behind us.
