Chapter 15: Thoughts in the Heart
The three of us looked at each other, and I asked the second uncle, "When will this gate be opened and when will it be closed, is there any explanation?" ”
The second uncle shook his head, "This city gate is indeed opened every once in a while, and the resulting scene is the same as just now, I also saw it before you." But now this kind of situation of opening and closing once, and then opening again, I have never seen or heard of it! ”
"But," I wondered, "why did this heavy gate open on its own?" ”
The second uncle stared closely at the two huge black city gates and said, "That's because there is a special change behind the city gates. ”
As he was talking, Lantern Xiao suddenly "shh ”
I listened closely, and there was indeed an ethereal sound coming from that direction. I nodded, "Yes, and it sounds familiar!" ”
Before I could finish speaking, the second uncle suddenly opened his mouth wide to us and said something, but I only saw him open his mouth, but I didn't hear his voice. This makes me very strange, why didn't the second uncle dare to speak out, was it because he was afraid of being heard by something?
Curious, I turned my head again to look at the open city gate, but I didn't expect to see some light coming out of the gap in the open gate, and then a figure stood in front of the door.
I was slightly stunned, but when I looked at it again, my heart almost stopped beating in surprise, and I cried out, "Grandpa! ”
I couldn't believe my eyes, and rubbed them vigorously, yes, it's grandpa! It was still that familiar face, and Grandpa was standing there with a smile on his white hair.
I suddenly felt a sour nose, and I had lived at my grandfather's house for many years due to my poor health since I was a child, so my relationship with my grandfather was very deep. But as I grew up, my grandfather got older, and finally one day he was gone. Until now, after I have experienced so many things, I have a deeper understanding of his extraordinary, and I have always regretted not really understanding my grandfather!
But I didn't expect that at this moment, grandpa appeared in front of me. My whole body trembled violently, and for a moment my eyes blurred.
"Grandpa!" I put down what I was holding and turned and ran towards the stone door. Seeing that I had run to my grandfather, I threw myself on it with open arms. Unexpectedly, my body flew into the air, and the whole person fell to the ground all of a sudden.
I lay on the ground and looked up in surprise, only to see my grandfather looking at me and stepping back step by step. I climbed a few steps forward, "Grandpa, don't go, I miss you so much!" When a sentence came out, it seemed that the thoughts that had been suppressed in my chest for many years burst out like a burst, and by the end of the words, I couldn't cry!
I wanted to pounce and grab my grandfather, but suddenly I found that I couldn't crawl, and when I turned around, I saw that Lantern Xiao was grabbing my ankle.
I yelled anxiously, "Let me go!!" ”
Lantern Xiao opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, I couldn't hear clearly, but I still struggled regardless of it. At this time, the second uncle rushed over, rode on me, and slapped two big mouths at my face!
I was blindfolded all at once, my ears were ringing, and it took me a while to come to my senses.
At this time, I heard Lantern Xiao saying to me: "Zhuo Ran, calm down!" You're a bad boy! ”
I frowned, thinking back to what had just happened, "What are you talking about?" What's wrong with me? What about my grandfather! ”
Lantern Xiao looked at me in surprise, "What's your grandfather, how can there be anyone here!" Crazy you! ”
I turned my head to look at the second uncle, "Second uncle, have you seen it?" My grandfather was here just now! ”
The second uncle was stunned for a moment, his frowning brows couldn't help but relax, and he sighed and said: "Silly boy, your grandfather is long gone, what you see is fake, look back for yourself!" ”
I immediately turned my head to look at it, and I couldn't help but be startled, I didn't know when. I had reached the two huge gates, and the gap between them was less than two meters in front of my eyes.
There was not a trace of light in the dark cracks, and the scene I had just seen disappeared without a trace. I realized what the problem was and hurriedly retracted.
The two huge gates already gave people a huge pressure, and now the gap between the gates was even darker and mysterious.
Attracted by the gap in the middle of the door, I muttered, "Could it be that what I just saw was a hallucination!" ”
Lantern Xiao nodded, "Well, yes, I find that your keen hearing seems to have become a burden here, and you are more likely to be tricked than us ordinary people." ”
I knew that the culprit was that ethereal sound, and that it seemed to be coming from behind these two giant doors.
I looked at the second uncle, and then asked, "Second uncle, what is behind these two doors?" ”
The second uncle looked at these two giant doors and said, "There is a mysterious power in this world, its power is unpredictable, but it is difficult to master. Faqiu Yimen is one of them, and our Zhuo family ......" The second uncle had just said this, when suddenly a series of strange sounds rang out.
The second uncle hurriedly stopped, I thought it was that strange sound again, and hurriedly blocked my ears. We followed the voice, but to our horror found that the sound came from the coffins in front of the tower. There were six coffins here, and except for the empty one, which had been opened by us, the lids of the other coffins all shook violently, as if something inside was about to break out of the coffin.
We were all so startled that I almost fell to the ground with my legs limp.
The second uncle looked panicked, ran to a few coffins in two steps, knelt down in front of a few coffins with a "poof", and after kowtowing a few times, he said: "Ancestors, Zhuo Qiu, the unfilial descendant of the Zhuo family, is also here, disturbing you and begging to atone for your sins!" ”
I was a little stunned for a moment, and asked the second uncle in disbelief, "Second uncle, are all the ancestors of the Zhuo family in this coffin?" ”
The second uncle nodded and made a silent motion. However, the second uncle's prayer did not have any effect. The shaking of the coffin continued.
Lantern Xiao looked at the stone door, then looked at the coffin and said, "Second uncle, these elders in your family don't seem to care about your stubble!" What are we going to do? ”
The second uncle frowned, muttered for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oh no, this is going to happen!" ”
I hurriedly asked the second uncle, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The second uncle told me that these six coffins were left here by the ancestors of the Zhuo family, and they have a special meaning! I just accidentally touched the doorway.
"Left by the ancestors of the Zhuo family?" I asked, "What's the point?" How did I not know? ”
The second uncle muttered in a low voice, "There are so many things you don't know!" ”
I was just about to ask again, but Lantern Xiao suddenly pointed to the city gate and shouted, "I, I, I'm leaning !! Lantern Xiao didn't know what she saw, and she was so scared that she stammered!
I turned my head to look, and I was so frightened that I didn't know that at the same time, a hand stretched out from the crack between the two huge doors!
And when I saw the appearance of this hand clearly, I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore, and the whole person was as if I had been immobilized, and I was stupid on the spot.
For I clearly saw that there was a wound on this hand, and I could see that it was a right hand that was stretched out, and a piece of skin had been rubbed off the back of this hand. The wound on that hand was exactly the same as the wound on my hand, both in terms of location and shape. For a moment I was in a trance, could this hand be mine? I couldn't help but raise my right hand and look at it carefully.
Lantern Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled me, "What are you doing stupidly!" Don't go yet! ”
I didn't speak, but raised my right hand to show him, Lantern Xiao didn't understand what I meant at first, but when I pointed to my wound, Lantern Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, opened her mouth, and she didn't say anything for a long time!
Although the second uncle was not as shocked as Lantern Xiao, his face also became very ugly! He rushed forward, raised his dagger and slashed at the outstretched hand.
The second uncle slashed more than a dozen times in a row like a madman, slashing that arm so much that it was bloody, and it was almost broken. I watched from the sidelines, and I felt terrified!
Looking at the unrecognizable arm that had been cut off by himself, he retreated back into the door. The second uncle reached out and pulled me and Lantern Xiao, "Run!" ”
