Chapter Forty-Seven: The Female Corpse on the Stone Steps (Four Watches)
The blood baby is gone, and I don't know where it disappeared. Because of the darkness around it, it was difficult to see its tracks at the speed at which the blood baby was crawling.
The seventh master stood in front of a piece of broken wood, stunned and in a daze.
Then I remembered, how can there be no stone steps up this third floor?!
"Let's go, go to Shixun's hole!" The seventh master said suddenly.
We hurried to follow, and soon found the hole in the third layer, the one that made the horn rhythm. It was about four feet in diameter, chiseled diagonally, and had a small hole in it, the size of a thumb, which was probably the ventilation hole that blew the horn rhythm.
"I'll go out and see!" The Seventh Master swept around, thinking that only he could go out and take a look first.
A few seconds later, the Seventh Master squatted on the edge of the half-human-tall Lekong and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's outside!" The stairs to the fourth floor are outside! Come along! ”
As he spoke, the Seventh Master jumped up slightly, as if he had caught something outside, his body shook for a while, and then disappeared. The cloth bag monk looked at me: "I'm second, you follow, Liang Shizhu pay attention to protection." ”
Burst! I almost suffocated to death in one breath, when did this old monk change his name to someone else's "benefactor"......
After the cloth bag monk finished speaking, he also climbed up. I followed him, walked to the edge of the Lekong, and looked at it, and my legs trembled: there was endless darkness below, and I couldn't tell how tall it was, just like a big mouth, and something terrible. Looking up, on the outer surface of the Shixun tomb, more than a dozen stone steps were carved out to lead to the fourth layer, and the angle was very steep, some like the cliffs of Huashan.
"Okay?" Liang Ruoyi regained that ice beauty's face, with disdain in her eyes.
"Okay!" I put the flashlight in my mouth, slowly stretched one foot over, found a place to stay, quickly jumped, came to the stone steps without danger, and walked up cautiously.
Soon, covered in cold sweat, I stepped into the ground on the fourth floor through the Lekong on the fourth floor.
Liang Ruoyi then came up, and the four of us stood in a corner, shining a flashlight on our surroundings. It was empty, just like the first floor, with nothing, and it looked like an old and unfinished building.
We were watching, and suddenly the flashlight in our hands flickered twice again and went out in an instant!
It's the same as the first floor! I hurriedly searched for the location of the other three in the dark, but I noticed that the back of my head that I had ignored before was full of coldness, and hurriedly said, "Be careful! There's something! ”
Before I could finish speaking, a white shadow suddenly rose from a corner and went straight in my direction! I knew that its target was not me, and it didn't dare to approach me, so without waiting for the seventh master to say, it took a step forward and stood in front of a figure beside me: "Be careful!" ”
"Xiao Gu, where are you?!" Suddenly the voice of the seventh master came from the darkness, and I heard a slight and rapid footsteps coming from the side, it didn't sound like a person!
Who's behind me?! I stared as the white mass grew farther and farther away from me, disappearing into the darkness in an instant......
I hurriedly ran two steps forward, then turned to look behind me, only to find that the figure behind me had disappeared at some point! Is that a human or a ghost? Before, the blood baby came in my direction, and I could only conclude that his target was not me, but the figure behind me?!
I remembered that I had just shone my flashlight through the stone staircase in the middle of the fourth floor to the fifth floor, and I groped my way to that direction.
"Seventh Master? Where are you? I shouted with my mouth open.
At this time, if you can see the blood baby, you can also follow him to find the seventh master and them. In the darkness, it was quiet, and no one answered me.
I had a bad feeling and groped my way to the stone steps, my clothes soaked with sweat.
"Whew......" I let out a sigh and pressed the flashlight twice, but it still didn't come on.
"Seventh Master? Guru? Liang Ruoyi? I whispered the names of the three men, but no one paid any attention to me.
Damn it! I cursed from the bottom of my heart and decided to go to the fifth floor first. I turned around to go up, and suddenly I found a black shadow standing on the fourth and fifth steps of the stone steps, and I couldn't see what it looked like.
"Y-Who are you?" I asked softly.
That person didn't speak, wasn't it the Seventh Master? That is it possible that in this fourth layer, in addition to that blood baby, there is also an evil thing? Flesh corpses? Or something else?
I was thinking that a dark shadow in the darkness slowly raised an arm towards me!
Now I could see clearly, in the darkness, when the man raised his arm, he took the clothes on his body by the way, and by shaking it, I could make out that it was a long skirt - this was a woman? No, exactly, it should be a female ghost?
"What are you doing?" I asked as if I was a fool. Dealing with female ghosts, I have a bottom in my heart, anyway, those evil things don't dare to deal with me, what about female ghosts?
The man stretched out his slender hand to me in the darkness and waved it twice, motioning for me to come over.
I was stunned, isn't this evil creature afraid of me? When I was hesitating, I suddenly felt dizzy in my head, and in a trance, I heard the sound of the fourth layer of rhythm, this time, the sound was not loud, but it was tactfully listened to, and with bursts of echoes, like gurgling water slowly flowing into my body, and my whole body was as soft as flowing water.
I opened my eyes and saw that in the darkness, the dark shadow was slowly approaching, and I could see clearly, it was a young woman with her hair in a bun, delicate, smiling, wearing a pale green dress, with willow eyebrows and cherry lips, walking slowly towards me.
It's beautiful. Although not as peerless as Diao Chan, she is still a beauty. I stood still, watching her get closer and closer to me.
The silence was broken with a "poof", and a fire flickered in the darkness around me, and I suddenly woke up, and when I looked ahead, I saw a female corpse with a cloak and a skinny body, and all the skin on her body was festering!
"This?!" I was so frightened that I took two steps back, crashed into someone's arms, stumbled a little, and looked up to see that it was the Budai monk.
"What is this?!" I asked, looking at the torch in the hand of the cloth bag monk.
"You saw it all, it's a corpse." The voice of the seventh master came, and I followed the sound and saw that the seventh master and Liang Ruoyi came out of the darkness.
"Corpses? What about the blood baby?! ”
"The blood baby is gone." The seventh master smiled: "You smell it, do you smell something." ”
I sniffled my nose as I was told, and sure enough, there was a vague scent in the air, like a processed musk!
