Chapter 19: Falling from the Tomb
Chapter 19: Falling into the Tomb
Follow Bao Ye into the study. It's just that my speed is really not as good as his, and I only listen to the string of scolding in front of me.
"Master Bao, what are you doing! Slow down, don't bump. ”
"Ouch, you treasure! Don't touch anything. ”
By the time I arrived at the study, Ren Qiancang had already walked out. It's just that Ren Qiancang is much calmer than Bao Ye. He turned around and whispered something to Bao Ye, and Bao Ye rushed out.
I met Ren Qiancang: "Gu Yuze, are you going to deal with it now?"
"Well, don't come with me, it might be dangerous." He patted me and ran to the back door.
I knew that I would only be a burden to them if I followed now, so I didn't keep up. I just walked around aimlessly in a state of confusion.
I didn't even notice that I had been following them in the direction they had left and went to the back door. When I saw the back door, I was shocked. How did I get here? Looking up, there was an enchantment of the Five Elements Array around the big courtyard, Wu Ao couldn't get in, and Ren Qiancang couldn't get out. But Bao Ye will temporarily unravel this enchantment when Ren Qiancang needs to leave.
Not far away, I saw a black flag that had been pulled out and flattened. At this moment, a stout figure also climbed the wall.
Wu Ao! After so many days of observing from here, they must have seen some reason. And Gu Yuze is also a person who understands something, but I'm afraid that Gu Yuze will wait for this time to let Wu Ao come in and arrest me.
I had just taken a step inside, but I still ran outside the back door. Now there are a lot of people in the family, and those antiques are also in the process of inventory and transportation. At this time, if I introduce Wu Ao into the courtyard, no one can help me, because Wu Ao is not an ordinary person. His entry into the big courtyard will only hurt more people.
In this second of thinking, I immediately chose to run in the direction of the back door. I didn't look back, I just ran out with all my might, ran across the basketball court, and ran into the bamboo forest. I kept running, and sure enough, I heard footsteps behind me. This is Wu Ao chasing after him.
It's just that I kept running, and it was pretty much the fastest I've ever run in my life. There was no fear in my heart, only a feeling that I was going to run faster, faster. My breathing started to get heavier, and my chest was burning like it was about to burn. Gradually, the ground in the bamboo forest was no longer clean, and I entered the depths of the bamboo forest that had not been cleaned for many years.
I wanted to shout Ren Qiancang, in such an empty bamboo forest, if I shouted loudly, he would definitely be able to hear it, but my throat couldn't shout, my breathing was also short, and I couldn't shout loudly at all.
Run fast, run hard, I can't get caught by him. I'm going to find Ren Qiancang or Bao Ye before he catches up.
At that moment, I could no longer hear anything else in my ears, only the sound of my own footsteps and the sound of my breathing and heartbeat. Later, I learned that after Wu Ao's corpse transformation, his speed did not increase but decreased. That's why I was able to run for so long without being caught up by him. He was able to follow me before, and that was because Gu Yuze drove him to follow me.
I can't remember the situation in the bamboo forest, I don't know where the former wellhead and the current quicksand are, so I can only guess and run according to my intuition.
But my physical strength was still declining rapidly, and there was still a bamboo forest in front of me, and there was no figure, not a sound. Suddenly, my body lost its balance and I sank into the quicksand.
"Ah~" My voice was unusually ugly, because of thirst, I panicked, if I just fell like this, if no one pulled me up, would I still die again? The fear of death made me struggle in a panic, but when the sand was about to reach my neck, I waved my hands and put them down, covered my mouth and nose, and closed my eyes. I knew that even if I fell, I wouldn't die immediately, and I had to conserve my strength and not allow myself to suffocate in the sand.
When my eyes closed, I saw Wu Ao, and he chased after me, and he stood by the quicksand and looked at me. There is no way to describe the fear in my heart. If he jumps down after me, I will only have to be bled by him in the tomb below. Even if Gu Yuze gave him the task to take away my key, he wouldn't kill me below, but even a person who couldn't get out would not die in the end?
But he didn't come, but stood by the quicksand, looked at his arm, his expression was frightened, and then suddenly he screamed wildly, and ran towards the bamboo forest.
I think he remembered the pain this place had given him. The little ghosts bit the flesh of his hands, and the horror and pain he remembered even when he died, so when he stood in front of this place again, he was so frightened that he didn't take a step closer even though the little ghosts were no longer there.
The sand was over my head, and I could feel myself sliding. Even if I knew in my heart that it was a trap, a quicksand, I would have fallen into the graveyard below. But when my whole body is covered with sand, I still panic, I feel scared, I feel like I'm going to die. Finally, I fell heavily to the ground. It is only in this kind of winter, wearing such thick clothes, that I can not fall and get injured when I fall. However, the elbow that landed first was still very painful.
Even though my elbow hurt, I coughed for a while, and the feeling of suffocation in the sand made my lungs, which were already hot, reach a critical point. Wait for the qi to come over, and then pay attention to the surrounding area.
What surprised me was that what I thought was supposed to be a dark tomb was now reflected in the light coming from the burial chamber inside. Could it really be as Bao Ye thought, Gu Yuze has already found here? I shook the sand off my body, rubbed my elbows, and examined my body to make sure there was no injury other than my elbows, and then looked around. Looking at the silent running water beside the tomb, I knew that the other end of the water was the ancient well in the northwest of the large courtyard, but now I couldn't take care of it so much. After running for such a long distance and getting stuck in the sand, now it's just a matter of giving me a glass of corpse water, and I can drink it. But I guess that water is about the same as corpse water.
I knelt beside the tomb and picked up a handful of cold water by the faint light reflected from it. After hesitating for a moment, I still cautiously took a few sips, after all, drinking this water will be a great psychological burden. It's just that the water is really icy, especially in a big winter like this. I remember that it was said in previous books that the groundwater was warm in winter and cool in summer. But this water is so cold in such a winter, it should have something to do with the fact that the water is soaked in corpses and has a strong yin qi. But the water doesn't smell bad, but has a sweet smell of blood.
I only took one sip of water, and even though it didn't stink, I wasn't going to actually take a few sips. You can drink something to make yourself speak and not collapse. The sweat on my body also stopped, and I sat on the ground, just thinking that it was difficult to move my hands and feet now. But I also know that after a sudden excess of exercise, people will have a state of detachment. Now I'm going to find Ren Qiancang alive before I get out of strength. Whoever the person in the tomb is, I will go there. Because he was my only hope of getting out. I don't want to die here, no one knows, only when I go out, can I have a chance to return to Ren Qiancang's side.
I walked towards the tomb road, no matter whether I was Ren Qiancang or Gu Yuze inside, I would not die immediately. But if the corpse inside had changed, then I would have been going to die in an instant.
The light was getting clearer and clearer, but my heart was getting more and more uneasy. Because when the light is clear, I can see the color of the light, which is not the usual light from a flashlight, but a blue-blue light. My first instinct was that only ghosts could make the light. This light hits the wall, revealing a very eerie feeling.
This thought slowed down my pace a lot, if it was really not people inside, but the dozens of corpses that fell at the beginning, would they still remember me, would they give me face? I was sweating just now, but now I'm in a cold sweat from nervousness.
I crept into the wall of the tomb, and judging by the light, I was almost in the final chamber. In this tomb, the organs are all in the big courtyard above, and the bottom is arranged for later generations to pull the sarcophagus up, so there will be no bows or crossbows on the walls.
The blue light grew brighter and brighter, and gradually, I could hear the voices of people talking inside. In such a burial chamber, the sound of speech is easily amplified by echoes.
The voice said, "Yo, play with me like this, you're too underestimated." Come to Uncle Ren, pull out a hair of your hair and give it to me, and I will also use you as my fighting tool. ”
Bao Ye? Ren Qiancang? I had an indescribable ecstasy in my heart, and they were in it, and I finally found them. But I haven't forgotten either, we were all locked up in it, no one was pulling us on it, we couldn't get out.
I was about to run out, but I heard Gu Yuze's voice, and he said, "Don't brag, I investigated you, you're just a little gangster who loves to fight." Wait for these corpses and tear you all to shreds. ”
Ren Qiancang's voice said, "I guess it can't be as you wish." ”
Then there was the sound of fighting. I didn't dare to look at it, but I was worried that it would be Ren Qiancang who would be injured. I just stuck it on the wall and watched what was going on in the tomb. In order not to expose myself, all I could see was half of the tomb.
