Since Daoist Li is here, it doesn't seem to make much sense for me to hide these things from him.

And Daochang Li nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask anything more after that.

After Brother Bao led us into the tunnel, he kept walking towards the depths of the tunnel, and when he was digging this tunnel, Brother Bao pulled the wires and prepared a lot of light bulbs.

At this point, all the light bulbs were nailed to the top of the tunnel, and since the tunnel itself was not too high, I could feel the heat emanating from the yellow light bulbs above my head when I walked inside. In addition, since the tunnel was located ten meters below the soil layer, the air inside was damp, and occasionally the dirt fell from the top and landed on my bare skin, making me feel a slight itch.

After about ten minutes of walking, I could smell a faint smell of blood.

Daochang Li asked me, "Someone is hurt?" ”

As soon as I smelled that smell, I was a little nauseous, and I didn't really want to respond to Daochang Li, so I simply shook my head.

After a few more minutes, Brother Bao led us to a fork in the tunnel, and he raised his hand to signal us to stop.

I looked towards the hole that had been dug diagonally into the wall of the tunnel, there was no electric light, it was pitch black, I couldn't see what was inside, but I could smell the constant smell of blood wafting from it.

Senior Brother Bao turned his head and shouted behind us: "Dafa, diesel lamp!" ”

After my senior brother Bao shouted like this, Zhang Dafa quickly ran over with a diesel lamp.

Brother Bao lit the diesel lamp and placed it in the hole, and then there was a light in the hole, and I saw that not far from the mouth of the cave, there was a silver metal tube about the thickness of my little arm, and the smell of blood emanated from this tube.

And there was nothing else in the hole except this tube.

Senior Brother Bao flicked the pipe with his fingers and said to me, "Sterling silver." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the pipe and continued: "I didn't know that there was such a pipe buried in the soil before, and the first person who dug it up had a heavy shovel and cut a gap in the pipe. ”

I looked in the direction of Brother Bao's finger and saw a very short gap in the silver tube, but because the shadow near the gap was too heavy, it was not very clear.

I simply walked into the cave, picked up the diesel lamp and shone it at the place where the gap was, and I saw that fresh blood was slowly flowing out of the gap.

In other words, the notch in the silver tube is the real source of the smell of blood.

Senior Brother Bao, who was standing on the side, said to me: "Judging from the direction of the silver pipe, it should be the back mountain that connects the blood pool and the Huang family ancestral hall. There is a way, I suspect, that this pipe should lead to the evil tomb, and the blood in the blood pool should also be drawn from the evil tomb. ”

As Senior Brother Bao spoke, Daochang Li also leaned against the wall, and came to me a little reluctantly, he stretched out his hand, wiped a little blood on the gap in the silver tube, and put his finger in front of his nose to smell it, and then said to me: "This thing is not blood." ”

As he spoke, Daochang Li raised the finger stained with "blood" in front of me and asked me to smell it.

I tried to smell it, and the liquid on his fingers was obviously emitting a strong smell of blood, and the smell was so pungent that I just took a breath through my nose, and my stomach was filled with nausea.

I can't be mistaken, this smell is the smell of blood, what is the red liquid on Li Daochang's hand if it is not blood?

Li Daochang's face was facing me, but his facial features were still hidden in the shadows, and I could only see some burning scars on the skin on his neck, and after a while, he withdrew his hand and said to me, "How is it, it's not blood, right?" The smell of blood is not so pungent. ”

This sentence woke me up on the spot.

By the way, although the smell emanating from those liquids smells no different from blood, the pure smell of blood can't be so pungent.

When I first entered the blood pool, I smelled such a pungent smell of blood, which can also be attributed to the large amount of blood in the blood pool.

But at this time, Li Daochang's fingers were only smeared with a little bit of red liquid, why did there be such a strong smell of blood?

I also smeared a little liquid from the notch of the silver tube and put my finger in front of my nose again to smell it.

Yes, this smell is indeed bloody, but normal blood can never be so pungent.

Recall that when I walked in the blood pool before, the blood in the blood pool also seemed to be much thicker than normal blood.

At this time, Li Daochang said to himself: "This liquid still has a trace of temperature, well, it is about the same as the body temperature of a human being, but the blood on a living person should be full of life...... What the hell is this thing? ”

I listened to all what he said, and my heart began to wonder.

Li Daochang is right, this liquid is indeed very similar to the blood of a living person, but there is no life in this "blood".

Senior Brother Bao asked me next to me, "Do you want to continue digging?" ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Daochang Li stopped and said: "Don't dig it, we don't know what is in the evil tomb now, this kind of silver pipe is connected to the evil tomb, if you dig like this, you will dig up troublesome things." Xiaobao, in my opinion, you should try to contact Master Chai and ask him to come back. ”

Senior Brother Bao smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I can't do this thing, Uncle Shi said when he left, unless I have a Daoist brother who has a hundred thousand urgent things to find him, otherwise he will never come back." ”

I looked at Brother Bao with some confusion, and Brother Bao winked at me.

I now very much doubt that Master had instructed him in this way, but I remember that Master was in a hurry at that time, and he didn't seem to talk to Brother Bao much, or did he want me to make up my mind and let me decide whether or not to invite Master back?

I was thinking so in my heart, and Daochang Li looked at me and said, "There is a way, you still have to find a way to let Master Chai come back, I always have a bad premonition recently, Huangjiazhuang, something may happen." ”

I still don't trust Daochang Li very much, hearing him say this, I really can't make up my mind, and I don't know whether I should invite my master back, after all, I have a hunch that this kind of place, I can't explain clearly, I can't ask my master to come back for this reason, what if he has something more important over there in Baishuidu?

And I have figured it out now, Senior Brother Bao should be the same as me, and he doesn't trust Daochang Li very much, he just said that, on the surface, it was for me to decide whether to invite Master back, but in fact, he just didn't want to take responsibility, so he threw the hot potato of Daochang Li to me.

Damn, this old fox!

Li Daochang probably saw that I was a little hesitant, so he said to me: "Let me tell you the truth, the sleeping lion in the ancestral hall has changed, and if Master Chai doesn't come, no one can control this matter." ”

Sleeping Lion is in flux? Now that I know what the sleeping lion means to the old Huang family, I can't help but get nervous, and hurriedly ask Li Daochang: "What's wrong?" ”

"Alas," Daochang Li sighed lightly before he said, "If I hadn't heard you say that there was a pool of blood under Old Lady Huang's house, I wouldn't have wanted to talk about this matter in the first place." The two sleeping lions in the ancestral hall opened their eyes. ”

Can a lion carved in stone open its eyes? I absolutely don't believe in this kind of thing, but when I see that Li Daochang speaks, he looks like he is swearing, and it doesn't look like he is lying.

Not only did I not make up my mind, but even the expression on Senior Brother Bao's face became solemn.

In the end, I still planned to go back to the ancestral hall to have a look before making a decision, and Li Daochang did not object to this.

I carried Li Daochang back to the ancestral hall, and Liang Houzai and Senior Brother Bao followed me.

As soon as I entered the gate of the ancestral hall, Li Daochang jumped off my back, pointed to the sleeping lion next to the door and said to me, "Look carefully at its eyes." ”

I approached the sleeping lion and looked closely at its closed eyes, and I saw that there was a very thin crack between the two pairs of eyelids, which at first glance looked like the sleeping lion was about to open its eyes.

Senior Brother Bao touched one of the cracks with his hand, and said with a heavy heart: "It's a natural crack, not a man-made one." Now things are really in trouble. ”

Li Daochang also said on the side: "The sleeping lion at the back door has also opened its eyes, and the situation is exactly the same as the one in front of you." ”

Senior Brother Bao asked him, "When did the sleeping lion open its eyes?" ”

Li Daochang replied with two words cleanly: "Last night." ”

After that, Senior Brother Bao lowered his head and was silent for a moment before he raised his head and said to me: "There is a way, so let's do it, you are not familiar with Baishuidu, so I should go to Uncle Chai." You take a shower and get a good night's sleep, I guess Master Chai may do something when he comes back. ”

After saying this, Senior Brother Bao hurried away without waiting for my response.

Daochang Li watched Senior Brother Bao's back disappear into the alley in the distance, and suddenly turned his head and asked me: "Didn't Xiaobao say before that Master Chai would not come back, it should be up to you to decide?" ”

I smiled at Daochang Li with some embarrassment, Daochang Li was stunned for a moment, and then sighed softly, but after all, he didn't say much.

Since there was no place to take a bath in the back bed of the ancestral hall, I went to Huang Changsheng's house and took a good bath.

When I took a shower, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang stayed in the living room of Huang Changsheng's house, on the one hand, because they did not trust Huang Changsheng, and on the other hand, Liang Houzai and Liu Shangang were also covered in mud in the past two years, and they also wanted to wash it well.

As for why my brother Bao suggested that I take a bath and sleep, it is actually very easy to explain.

The sleeping lion opened its eyes, which meant that the blood demon array was about to attack, and the Huang family spent thirteen lives to make this formation fifty years ago, which is enough to show the power of this formation. Senior Brother Bao said before that my master might do a Dharma service, and this is not a random speculation, although I think that if Master wants to suppress the bloody array, the best way is to go to Gang.

But nothing is so absolute, if Master wants to do things and needs my help at that time, I have to purify my body in advance, and doing things like this kind of thing is very mind-consuming, so I also need to cultivate my spirit now.

After taking a bath, the three of us went back to the back bed of the ancestral hall, and Li Daochang had already helped us change into clean sheets at this time.
