Zhu Gui let go of his hand and didn't say anything, we tiptoed closer to the dried corpse. When I arrived, I found a large pit in the stomach of the dried corpse, and I finally knew what I had just stepped on.

"Seniors, it's rude to redeem the juniors, I really didn't see it just now!" I muttered under my breath.

"Is he your relative?" Zhu Gui said in surprise with his mouth open.

I gave him a blank look: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of offending the gods!" ”

"Huh? What is it? As he spoke, Zhu Gui used a spade to flick under the corpse, and after a while, he picked out a string of beads. I recognized it at a glance, it was Chaozhu. Zhu Gui's face suddenly blossomed: "Wow! This time it was not in vain! Hey, you're an expert in this, see if it's genuine? ”

I took the beads, which were a string of gray-black morning beads, heavy and cold to the touch.

Although I have never been exposed to this kind of thing, I know something about it. The Qing Dynasty had strict regulations on the pearls, which must be five grades for civil officials and four grades for military attachés. It is a symbol of status and status, and the common people should never wear it.

Each string of beads has one hundred and eight, one is not many, one is not less, every twenty-seven beads are sandwiched in the middle of a Buddha's head, which is derived from the Buddhist prayer beads.

These are all well-established rules, without exception.

Although the string of pearls in his hand has been for hundreds of years, it has a bright color and a lasting appearance, and it looks like it is made of fine jewelry.

Zhu Gui was still staring at me with big eyes at this time, and his saliva seemed to be about to flow out: "How is it?" Is it genuine? ”

"Of course it's true, the masters are all here, can there be a fake?"

Zhu Gui's face showed an expression that would only appear when he saw a beautiful woman, and he grinned and said: "My old Zhu has finally come and turned, and now he can make a fortune!" ”

I glared at him, "What do you want to do?" ”

"If you don't take it for nothing, you won't take it for nothing, take it back and sell it, and we will divide the money equally." After that, he seemed to think of something again, and then added: "By the way, there is Hu San, wait until you find him, and after you get out, the three of us will divide it equally." ”

I took a deep breath of cold air, and looking at Zhu Gui's expression at this time, I seemed to understand something. Hu San said that he might not have a pure purpose when he came with us, could it be that this kid came to rob the tomb?

If this inference is true, then could his calculation of Master's whereabouts be nonsense? If so, he'll do us a terrible loss. But after thinking about it, it's unlikely, after such a long period of contact, I found that Zhu Gui is still a good person, he shouldn't be able to do such a shameless thing, besides, if he really wants to rob the tomb, there is no need to drag us.

I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't think about what was going on, and then I looked at Zhu Gui, and I had already begun to rummage through the corpse, but after looking for a long time, I couldn't find anything else valuable, and I sighed and said: "Hey, there is only one string of pearls, but it's not bad, this thing is guaranteed to sell for millions." ”

As for taking other people's pearls, I am a hundred unwilling, although this kind of behavior is not considered tomb robbery, but it is also ill-gotten gains, and I always feel uncomfortable when I hold it. But when you think about it, most of the corrupt officials in our dynasty were corrupt officials, and most of their money was looted from the people's fat and people's ointment, and taking his things also belonged to robbing the rich and helping the poor, right?

Anyway, I should be poor now, since the disappearance of Master, Hu San and I have lost our financial resources, relying on my meager silver to survive twice. Hu San is not very serious, playing games every day to make a little money, while I belong to a black household, and I can't find a job.

I gritted my teeth for a long time and struggled for a long time before I finally made up my mind to take this pearl.

After rummaging with Zhu Gui for a while, we didn't see anything useful, so we walked to the depths of the passage.

Thinking of the situation at this time, I have always been uneasy in my heart, this trip to Xiangxi is simply unlucky. The master didn't say any clues, but now he has lost Hu San, and he is trapped in this ghost place again, not knowing when he will be able to get out, or if he can get out.

Not long after walking in the passage, a black wall appeared at the end of the flashlight, and Zhu Gui and I gasped, don't be a dead end!

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a wall, but a door. It's just that there is no gap between the top and bottom of this door, and the middle is not very obvious, and when you look at it from a distance, it looks like a wall.

The color of the door is extremely black, and it is not known what it is dyed from. I suddenly remembered the pile of black planks at the entrance when I came in, could it be that there was a door like this there? So this door must have been damaged by man, and it is very likely that the dead ghost did it, so why did he die there?

Zhu Gui walked to the door and gently pushed it with a shovel, the black door made a light and crisp sound, but he didn't move, he increased his strength again, and smashed it hard, but the door still didn't open.

Zhu Gui took a breath and scolded: "Damn, it seems to have been latched from the inside!" ”

I asked him to pull aside, and luckily, I raised my foot and kicked the door, and with a bang, it stirred up a cloud of dust, and the black door trembled slightly, but it still didn't open.

I was surprised, strange, I know my strength, this foot does not have a thousand catties of strength, the black door has not opened yet, even if it is an iron latch inside, this time it should be kicked.

At this time, Zhu Gui raised his flashlight and looked at the crack in the door in the middle, but because the gap was too small, he looked at it for a long time and saw nothing, and finally sighed: "Hey! It would be nice if you brought explosives. ”

"Shh I made a silent gesture, and I seemed to hear some voices in the door. Zhu Gui immediately understood what I meant, and looked into the door vigilantly.

"Thorn," a staccato stabbing sound came from within. I was so frightened that my scalp went numb, how could this be like the sound of scratching the door, it wouldn't be a ghost scratching the door.

Zhu Gui is much more courageous than me, although he is also a little nervous, but he does not look afraid. He held the folding shovel tightly in his hand, and his white-gloved left hand was slightly raised, as if facing a great enemy.

The sound of scratching the door stops intermittently, and there seems to be no regularity, which makes us anxious, I say in my heart that it is a person or a ghost, you are coming out, what does it mean to scratch the door, do you want to scare us to death? Then he underestimated us too much.

After waiting like this for a long time, the sound still did not stop, and it did not change, it was still intermittent and irregular. In the end, Zhu Guixian couldn't help it and shouted: "Hey, the person on the other side of the door is a person or a ghost, you are a fart, don't scratch the door." ”

As soon as his voice fell, the voice suddenly disappeared, which was beyond our expectations, and we thought that the voice would continue. So it seems that the thing behind the door is really alive, and probably understands us.
