Chapter 49: The Hanging Coffin
The little girl in red was still bouncing in front of her, humming an old song that was very pleasant, and it seemed that she had no ill will towards us.
However, for the sake of safety, I walked quickly in front of Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue, and used my body to isolate the two girls from the little girl.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue thought that I was afraid that the bronze door would be closed and I wouldn't be able to enter, so I kept muttering that I was not kind and should give priority to women.
I ignored her and focused all my attention on the little girl in red in front of me. I still wonder why I can see this little girl in red and hear her humming songs, but Li Huiyan and the two of them can't see or hear it.
The little girl in red walked in front of me, and from time to time she turned around and grimaced at me, and I couldn't get angry, and I also made a grimace at her, causing her to giggle.
I was a little speechless, and I said that you have died and become a ghost, and you can still laugh so happily, but I really think about it.
Following these Great Qin Yin soldiers, we finally walked in just as the bronze gate was about to close. As soon as Li Huiyan, who was walking at the back, left the diameter range of the bronze door, the bronze door behind her was completely closed with a bang without warning.
I couldn't help but turn my head to look at it, and when I turned around again, my whole body was instantly petrified in place.
In just a few seconds when I turned around, the Yin soldiers and the little girl in red who were walking in front of us all disappeared, leaving only a black and empty tombway.
At the same time, a cold breath came to my face, and my whole body was instantly enveloped by a biting chill, and it felt like I had traveled to the ice and snow in an instant.
Because it was still summer in the outside world, we were all wearing thin clothes and short sleeves when we fell into the tomb, and the surrounding environment suddenly became cold, and everyone shivered a little.
"Do you have any questions?" I turned around and asked Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue behind me.
The sudden biting cold in the tomb made even me feel a little unbearable, not to mention the two girls, Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue.
"Also...... Luckily, let's go. Hearing this, Li Huiyan replied in a low voice.
Although she had deliberately pretended to be casual, I could still hear her voice trembling a little, and I could even hear Xiao Yue's teeth chattering on the side.
Li ...... Sister Lizi, we ...... Shouldn't you follow those Yin soldiers to the Netherworld? Xiao Yue shrunk her neck and asked Li Huiyan beside her, her voice sounding much more trembling than Li Huiyan.
"Don't talk nonsense, there is no hell of a hell, we are still in the tomb." Li Huiyan comforted Xiao Yue and said.
"If it's not the Netherworld, how can it be so cold?" Xiao Yue said again.
Hearing the conversation between the two, I didn't dare to hesitate any longer and immediately took the lead and walked forward.
I'm a little worried in my heart, Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue have both been poisoned by corpses before, and I don't know if they can adapt to this weird environment.
Although the corpse poison on the two bodies has been completely cleared now, the damage caused by the poison to the two bodies is still obvious.
Especially Xiao Yue, the corpse poison in her is the deepest and longest, and she herself belongs to that kind of thin and small girl. The sequelae caused by corpse poison may not be visible in normal times, but they will immediately manifest themselves in this bad environment.
The cemetery is only about 20 meters away, and there are no security mechanisms in the cemetery, so we easily passed through this cemetery.
As soon as he walked out of the tomb, he was stunned by the scene he saw.
At the end of the tomb is a stalactite cave, two or three times larger than the one we saw earlier.
But this is not surprising, I was surprised by the fact that in the very center of the lowest stalactite cave, an ancient well with a diameter of about two meters was built.
And, directly above the ancient well, two wrist-thick bronze chains hang straight from the top of the cave, and a translucent crystal coffin without a lid is tightly wrapped around the end.
Two bronze chains suspended the crystal coffin in mid-air, about a meter from the ancient well.
What puzzled me a little was that the two bronze chains did not end after wrapping around the crystal coffin several times, but finally extended towards the ancient well, as if there was something else in the ancient well.
I soon noticed that the crystal coffin was constantly bubbling out with a hint of chill.
Obviously, the crystal coffin in the middle of the cave is the culprit of the unusually cold temperature in the cave.
"Hanging coffin! It turned out to be a hanging coffin! At this time, Li Huiyan, who was behind her, exclaimed in surprise for a moment when she saw the crystal coffin wrapped in bronze chains above the ancient well.
"Hanging coffin? What is it? Hearing this, I asked with some curiosity.
Li Huiyan shook her head and didn't open her mouth to explain, so I had no choice but to suppress the doubts in my heart for the time being.
"You two stay here for the time being, I'll go over and take a look, and then call you over if there's no danger." Feeling that the temperature in the cave was much lower than in the tomb, I immediately said to Li Huiyan and Xiao Yue.
"No, I'm almost used to this temperature, I'll go with you." Li Huiyan heard this, but shook her head and said.
Xiao Yue on the side saw that Li Huiyan and I were both going to go to the cave, and how dare she stay alone in the tomb, so she finally followed up.
Seeing this, I was a little helpless, so I had to let them. But before I went into the cave, I was careful to tell them to follow me, so that I could come to my rescue in case of any danger.
With that, I strode into the cave.
Even though I had already prepared for it, the moment I walked into the cave, I couldn't help but shiver, and goosebumps rose all over my body.
The temperature inside the cave was much cooler than I had imagined, and it was almost as hot as winter.
I led the way in front of me, and every step was extremely careful.
Hundreds of stalactites hanging upside down above their heads dripped, and the entire cave became a water curtain cave, which also made the entire cave floor covered with moss, extremely wet and slippery.
No, Xiao Yue, who was walking at the back, was careless, and sat on the ground with a butt as soon as his feet slipped, screaming in pain.
"Xiao Yue, be careful. If you're lucky, the next time you sit on a stalactite pillar, you'll be miserable. I turned back to Xiao Yue and reminded him.
When this guy just fell, he hit me and almost caused me to fall and eat.
"Zhang three years, you are a big hooligan." But who knows, as soon as my voice fell, Xiao Yue yelled at me loudly.
I looked confused, I felt that I was more wronged than Dou E, and I kindly reminded her to be careful, but she became a hooligan?
"I remind you to be careful, how did you become a hooligan?" I couldn't help but ask rhetorically.
"You...... You also asked. Xiao Yue stood up, grinned and patted her buttocks, and said, "Hmph, don't think I don't know the dirty thoughts in your stinky men's hearts, although Aunt Ben has never had a boyfriend, she knows everything."
If I can't react this time, then I'm really not a man.
Seeing Xiao Yue's annoyed and somewhat shy appearance, I couldn't help but cry and laugh, this guy's imagination is too rich.
I wanted to cry without tears, it was obviously a normal word of concern, but she wanted to be crooked like that.
"Okay, Xiao Yue, don't talk about it, I believe that Zhang Sansan will not be so boring, making that kind of boring joke at this time." Before I could say anything more, Li Huiyan on the side spoke.
I don't know what to say, I can only sigh silently in my heart, and Li Huiyan, who knows me.
Putting away my boring thoughts, I cautiously walked forward again.
At this moment, the closer you get to the ancient well, the more clearly you can feel that the temperature around you is getting lower and lower. When there was still a distance of about two zhang from the ancient well, Xiao Yue, who was the weakest in his body, couldn't stand it anymore and offered to stay where he was.
In the end, only me and Li Huiyan were left to move on.
When I was still about a foot away from the ancient well, my feet suddenly slipped, and then the whole person suddenly fell backwards.
I was startled by the sudden turn of events, for I had just bypassed a stalactite stalagmite that was about a foot tall and the thickness of my thigh. At this moment, the direction in which I fell was facing the sharp stalagmite.
Finished! At this point, my whole body froze, completely forgetting that it was time to react.
This, if the back has a close contact with the stalactite stalagmites on the ground, if you don't die, you will have to be crippled.
At this moment, two palms pressed against my back, and then I was held up with just the right amount of force.
At this time, my body was half-up, and my eyes were met with a pair of gentle eyes, which were Li Huiyan who was closely following me.
"Thanks, this is the second time you've saved my life." After I regained my footing, I sincerely thanked Li Huiyan.
Earlier in another stalactite cave, Li Huiyan was bitten because she blocked the ghoul fish for me, and now she saved me again who slipped under my feet and was almost pierced by the stalactite pillar.
I have to say that Li Huiyan is indeed my fateful general.
"It's easy, not to mention that you also saved my life." Li Huiyan said with a calm expression.
I nodded, and didn't say anything more, knowing that being in such a dangerous place was not the time to be polite to each other.
It's just that what I don't understand is that I have already taken every step very carefully, how could I suddenly slip.
I shone the light of my flashlight on the ground, and immediately I realized that the ground was already icing. No wonder I slipped on the slippery ice and seemed to be unprepared to step on the slippery ice.
The crystal coffin on the ancient well is really too weird, the cold air that keeps coming out of the coffin makes the temperature in the cave surprisingly low, not to mention, at this moment, it is still frozen in the last mile.
"Zhang Sansan, you have a ...... on your back You have two small children's palm prints on your back. At this moment, Li Huiyan behind me suddenly exclaimed.
Palm prints of small children? Hearing this, I quickly took off my clothes.
I was stunned at first glance, and sure enough, I saw two children's palm prints on the back that were exactly the same as Xiao Yue's body before.
I secretly thought about it, and when I was about to fall down just now, I did feel that in addition to being supported by Li Huiyan's hands, there were two other places on my back that were suddenly very cold.
At the time, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was just the strange cold in the cave that gave me the illusion, but I didn't expect it to be real.
For some reason, after seeing the palm prints of these two children, the first thing that came to my mind was the little girl in red who followed behind the Yin Soldier and was bouncing and grimacing at me.
I estimated in my heart that the age of the little girl in red was only eight or nine years old, and it was somewhat consistent according to the palm prints on my clothes.
Could it be her?
I'm a little strange, didn't this little girl disappear with those Yin soldiers after entering the bronze door?
