Chapter 44: The Monk Bets

As soon as I finished speaking, several feather arrows suddenly shot out from the wall next to me, fanning straight ahead! Thankfully, I realized that I had touched the mechanism, and I was already leaning against the wall to one side, dodging a wave of arrows.

And the Seventh Master and they were a little flustered, after all, the house was extremely dim, and the distance was too close, Mazi and the Budai Monk struggled to dodge several arrows, but the Seventh Master was brushed by a feather arrow, and a bloody wound was cut.

"Whew...... It's okay! Be careful, everyone. The seventh master glanced at his wound, took a deep breath and said.

I hesitated, and then poked the wall in the wooden door, making a muffled noise, and it seemed that the wall was solid and thick, and there should be nothing else in it.

The four of us came to the third door, and it was still the seventh master who stretched out his hand to push it open, and it was dark inside, with several empty cabinets that had been opened.

"Alas, all the good things have been taken away!" Asako said.

The seventh master ignored Mazi, walked to the last door and stretched out his hand to push it open, and found that there was a stone staircase to the third floor, turned around and said, "Let's go, go to the upper floor!" ”

We answered and walked over, but the Seventh Master suddenly stopped, frowned and listened for a while, opened his mouth and whispered: "Old clam?!" ”

We've just come back to our senses, why can't the old clam come? hurriedly turned around and went to the entrance of the stone steps to look, but he was stunned for a moment: the old clam that was guarding here before was gone!

"Hah!" Mazi laughed self-deprecatingly on the side: "This is good, one person is lost on the first floor, and when we reach the sixth layer, we are not all lost!" ”

Several of us frowned, what Mazi said was not unreasonable, if it goes on like this, it is difficult to say whether we can successfully reach the sixth layer.

"We just opened the door, and there's no way he's going to go to the third floor." Budai Monk said suddenly.

The seventh master nodded, took out a flashlight from his bag and tried to light it up, and when he saw that it could be opened, he gritted his teeth and said: "No, now we must find out Miss Liang and Lao Clam, I will look for it with Mazi on the second layer, Xiao Gu You and the master of the cloth bag will go to the first floor to look for it, be more careful, you must be careful, unless they have left the Shixun tomb, they will definitely be somewhere on these two floors!" ”

"Okay." I answered and went down with the cloth bag monk.

There is a hole on the first floor, so a breeze blows in.

"Master, who could have taken Liang Ruoyi and the old clam away?" I asked, standing on the ground on the ground floor.

"Hehe......" The cloth bag monk smiled coldly, stood still and did not speak.

I don't know what kind of medicine the old monk sells in the gourd, shrugged my shoulders, and looked around with the torch in the old monk's hand, because there was nothing on the first floor, and I could see the difference if I looked around: everywhere was empty, not to mention hiding two people, even the puppy strong man had nowhere to hide in this kind of place.

"Master?" I couldn't hold it back, so I asked again.

The cloth bag monk turned his head to look at me: "Do you dare to bet with me?" ”

I was stunned: "Bet? What to bet on? Master, you're a monk, how could you do such a thing......

"Huh!" The Budai monk smiled for the first time: "I've lived for so long, I've been betting with others, if I hadn't been able to win every bet, I would have died I don't know how many times!" ”

This old monk, what's wrong today?

I smiled bitterly and said, "Then master, what do you say, betting?" ”

"If I win, you have to do one thing for me unconditionally!" The face of the Budai monk was red in the firelight, and it originally looked kind, but now it looked a little terrifying. If any ghost is born like this, it can be regarded as a conscience.

"And what if you lose?" I asked.

"Huh!" The old monk actually showed a very disdainful look: "If I lose, I will do something for you unconditionally!" ”

Is the old monk fishing for my fish? I glanced at him: "Okay, since the master has proposed it, then the junior will make a bet with the master, what does the master bet on?" ”

"Bet on the seventh master and Mazi, and they are still not on the second floor!"

"Of course!" After I finished speaking, I felt that I had fallen for the old monk's plan! However, there shouldn't be a problem with the abilities of the Seventh Master and Mazi alone, and I didn't hear any sound from the second floor, the two of them should still be good on the second floor!

"Okay, then I won't take advantage of you, since you said it first, then I chose not to be." After speaking, the cloth bag monk did not give me the slightest chance to regret it, and turned around and walked towards the second floor.

I reached out and took out a flashlight from my bag, and hurriedly opened it on the second floor: sure enough, the seventh master and Mazi were no longer there, and the four doors were open, needless to say, either something happened or they had already gone to the third floor.

Could it be that the Seventh Master and Mazi deliberately wanted to separate me and the Budai monk?!

I became more and more confused in my heart, and I felt more and more that these people were too scheming. On the surface, these people don't know each other well, and they don't have any other goals in common, but why do I always think that these people are wearing masks at a certain time?

Even if the Seventh Master wants to break up the two of us, what about Lao Clam and Liang Ruoyi? Furthermore, as a member of the Gu family, I should be very important to the Seventh Master, why did I have to be supported at such a critical moment after entering the tomb?

A series of questions came out of my heart, and the cloth bag monk on the side regained his expressionless face again, recited a Buddha name, and whispered to me: "You lose, when I want to ask you to do something, you must not refuse." ”

With that, the old monk turned and walked towards the stone steps that led to the third floor.

I shook my head self-deprecatingly and followed. Halfway through, I suddenly grabbed the cloth bag monk and said in a low voice: "Master, why is there no sound in the stone hole on the second floor?" ”

The Budai monk looked at me: "Maybe someone broke it, maybe someone broke it before." ”

I was stunned, it seems that this old monk already knew.

Seeing the cloth bag monk walking up, I didn't dare to stay here alone, so I hurriedly followed. Soon we came to the third floor, and for a while, the back of my head was cold, but I couldn't see anything evil, but my heart kept in my throat.

The third layer is the widest layer of the whole Shixun tomb, it looks like the size of a basketball court, the structure is like a hall, there are more than ten stone pillars dotted around, starting from our feet, a round staircase from the outside to the inside, to the highest in the center, the circular platform is about three feet high, you can vaguely see a sacrificial furnace, look carefully, you can find that there is a coffin placed there!

"Coffin?!" I pointed there and said, just about to walk over, suddenly there was a whistling in my ears, I turned around, a black shadow suddenly came to me, and I stood up in an instant: "Who?!" Liang Ruoyi?! ”

The person who came turned out to be Liang Ruoyi, who disappeared on the first floor!

"Where did you just go?" I asked hurriedly, "The Seventh Master said that someone took you away!" ”

Liang Ruoyi was expressionless, and looked at me coldly: "It's not a human, it's a ghost." ”

"Where's the old clam?" I asked.

"The old clam is gone?" Liang Ruoyi frowned.

I nodded, "yes, he's not seen on the second floor." ”
