Chapter 169: Carrying the corpse into the grave

A few months have passed, and Mrs. Zhou is getting more and more sick, and after he confessed to his son in front of the sickbed, he found two personal friends, Ding Zhouhao and Wang Liu.

Mrs. Zhou sighed lowly, glanced at the two of them and said, "How does the master usually treat you." ”

The two family members glanced at each other, knelt down in front of the old lady Zhou's sickbed with a brush, and said with tears in their eyes: "The old lady is as kind to the little one as a mountain, and he will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and he vows to continue to follow and serve the old lady." ”

Old lady Zhou nodded, took out two silver tickets, and said to the two: "You two, it is not in vain that I am the most trusted person, you take these two silver tickets, my lord, I know that my life is over, for the sake of the lord's kindness to you, after the lord's death, quietly carry my body into the mausoleum, after the matter is over, you two will go away, keep your mouth shut about this matter, and never return here." ”

After Zhou Hao and Wang Liu cried and reassured, Old Lady Zhou's eyes closed, and there was no longer any sound.

Zhou Hao tried Old Lady Zhou's snort, and found that Old Lady Zhou had died of anger, and cried loudly.

The son of the old lady Zhou, in accordance with the secret care of the old lady before his death, asked Zhou Hao and Wang Liu overnight to bring the gold and silver they carried with them, and carried the old lady's body to the mausoleum.

Mrs. Zhou's son arranged the mourning hall, prepared an empty coffin, and held a funeral, and a few days later, buried Mrs. Zhou, of course, this is just a fake tomb, and since then, Zhou Hao and Wang Liu have suddenly evaporated from the world,

The son of the old lady Zhou praised the actions of these two righteous servants, and forbade everyone to talk about it, and after a few years passed, everything calmed down, and everyone gradually forgot about it.

Besides, on the night of Mrs. Zhou's death, Zhou Hao and Wang Liu quietly got together, and the two packed up their bodies and prepared to send Mrs. Zhou's body to the mausoleum and then leave the country.

On the night of Mrs. Zhou's death, there was a thunderstorm, and Zhou Hao and Wang Liu, taking turns carrying Mrs. Zhou's corpse, quietly came to the secret entrance of the mausoleum.

The two entered the entrance of the tomb, skillfully avoiding the many mechanisms designed in the tomb, and came to the main tomb.

Although the old lady Zhou is rich and rivals the country, but in order to build this mausoleum, he has exhausted most of his family resources, although the tomb is luxurious, comparable to the tomb of the emperor, but the burial goods in the tomb are not too much, the most conspicuous thing is that the stone coffin wrapped in gold skin in the center of the main tomb is shining with golden light under the everlasting lamp lit by the tomb.

The two carefully followed the instructions of the old lady Zhou before his death, and placed his body in a stone coffin covered with silk and covered with gold skin.

Zhou Hao followed the old lady's instructions, took out a wet handkerchief with the smell of herbs handed to him by the old lady, and covered the old lady's face.

After everything settled down, the two breathed a sigh of relief and began to take a serious look at the tomb of Old Lady Zhou.

In addition to the golden coffin, there are also some of the old lady's favorite antiques around the coffin, and there are a bunch of gold and silver jewelry on the side of the coffin, but these are not the two of them are most concerned, they are all thinking in their hearts, where are the eight night pearls that the old lady liked during his lifetime,

The two looked at it for a while, and didn't find anything, and they couldn't help but wonder and be disappointed.

Zhou Hao inadvertently raised his head, only to feel that in the center of the main tomb, located directly above the coffin, there was a delicate and transparent stone box carved, and from the gap in the stone box, some faint blue light was faintly revealed.

Zhou Hao was overjoyed in his heart, and said to Wang Liu: "Brother, look at the light above, is it from the eight night pearls." ”

Wang Liu was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at it for a while, and confirmed that it was the kind of light he emitted when he saw Old Lady Zhou enjoying the night pearl at night.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but they were silent, and the meaning in their hearts was seen from each other's eyes.

Zhou Hao said tentatively: "Wang Liu, those eight night pearls are really priceless, compared with them, other gold, silver and jewelry are not worth mentioning, our brothers broke up, and since then they have lived in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness." ”

Wang Liuyin smiled: "People die like lights go out, we have served the old lady all our lives, doing cattle and horses, and now that the old lady is gone, it is also our brothers' turn to enjoy the glory and wealth of life." ”

When Zhou Hao heard this, he understood in his heart, and immediately echoed: "Wang Liu, you said that these eight night pearls, if we are half of the brothers, how many family businesses can we buy." ”

Wang Liu laughed: "Zhou Hao, don't say so much, since we think the same, then what are you waiting for, so let's climb on the coffin, take down those night pearls, and after everyone divides them equally, leave here quickly." ”

When the two were talking proudly, there was a sudden sound of a soft gasp, and the sound of something gently slicing,

At this moment, the two of them screamed in fright, and the two of them looked back to back, looking around the tomb,

After looking at it for a while, they didn't find anything abnormal, and the two looked at the old lady Zhou lying in the coffin, still with her eyes closed, not moving at all.

Zhou Hao and Wang Liu settled down at this time, and secretly thought in their hearts, this panting sound and the sound of scratching things were probably inadvertently made by the other party, and the people were really scared to death, which scared the two of them a lot.

Zhou Hao took advantage of Wang Liu's inattention, quietly pulled out a dagger from his waist, hid it in his sleeve, and slowly approached Wang Liu,

When Wang Liu saw Zhou Hao walking to his side, he suddenly said with a sigh: "Zhou Hao, look, why is the light of the pearl missing that night." ”

Zhou Hao flickered, raised his eyes and looked at Wang Liu's fingers, only to see that the blue light was still there, Zhou Hao knew that something was wrong, and took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Wang Liu fiercely.

Who would have expected that when he just stabbed Wang Liu in the abdomen, there was already a sharp pain in his chest, Zhou Hao subconsciously covered his chest with his hand, but he touched a cold thing and a handful of hot wet mucus,

Zhou Hao looked down and saw that there was a cold dagger in his chest, blood was gurgling out of the wound, and the bright red blood sprayed on the dagger that looked so terrifying,

Seeing Zhou Hao clutching his chest and falling, Wang Liu sneered and said: "Zhou Hao, don't blame me for being too ruthless, with so many treasures, who can not be tempted, don't you also do it, if I hadn't made a quick move just now, I am afraid that it would have been me who fell down at this time." ”

Wang Liu's lower abdomen also faintly felt labor pains, and Zhou Hao's dagger just now also penetrated deeply into his lower abdomen, but Wang Liu didn't dare to pull out the dagger easily at this time, he knew in his heart that if he pulled out the dagger, the blood would not stop, but he was afraid that he would never be able to get out of this tomb.

Wang Liu endured the severe pain, his eyes swept to the old lady lying in the coffin, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he had an idea,

Wang Liu pulled out the dagger from Zhou Hao's chest, staggered to the side of the coffin, and used the dagger to cut a piece of silk from the corpse of the old lady Zhou.

Wang Liu gritted his teeth and struggled to pull out the dagger inserted in his abdomen, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out, and he screamed and fell to the ground.

He endured the severe pain and bandaged his abdomen with silk a few times, which finally stopped the blood.

Wang Liu, who had lost too much blood and had a pale face, only calmed down a little at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the night pearl above the coffin,

Wang Liu regretted it at this time, he knew that the night pearl could only be obtained by standing on the coffin, so he should not have started earlier, but should have coaxed Zhou Hao to cover the coffin lid first, and then step on the coffin lid to remove the night pearl before doing it.

At this time, there was no room for regret, Wang Liu gritted his teeth, climbed onto the top of the coffin, and stepped on the edge of the coffin with two feet.

Just as Wang Liu's feet stepped on the edge of the coffin and wanted to stand up straight and take off the night pearl on it, he suddenly heard a sneer,

Wang Liu was so shocked that Wang Liu, who was bent down on top of the coffin, saw the old lady lying in the coffin, he actually opened his eyes, looked at Wang Liu directly with his eyes, and let out a sneer,

Wang Liu was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he didn't come back to his senses, only to feel a cold in his chest, followed by a sharp pain, which almost made him faint.

Wang Liu "snapped" and fell heavily on the blue brick floor of the main burial chamber outside the coffin.

Old lady Zhou, who had been dead for a long time, actually slowly got up from the coffin, he stepped out of the coffin, holding the cold dagger in his hand, and approached Wang Liu step by step,

Blood continued to flow out, Wang Liu was frightened and could no longer feel the pain at this time, he lay on the ground, and shouted hoarsely: "Old lady, spare my life, the little one knows that he is wrong, please see the little one who is loyal to the old lady all his life, let the little one leave this tomb, and give incense to the old lady's heroic spirit every day in the future." ”
