Chapter 14: The Sound of Breathing in the Coffin

I lay stiff in the coffin, not daring to move, my heart was beating wildly, and even my breathing was shaking.

I tried desperately to keep my breath down, for fear of alarming something in the coffin.

After a fierce battle of thoughts, I nervously reached to the side to find out what was going on next to me. With the movement of my hands, my heart was already in my throat. My other hand clutched the short knife tightly, thinking to myself that if there was any movement, whether it was a zongzi monster or something else, I would give it a few knives first!

I felt that my hand was slowly touching the quilt, and the quilt was very soft, but after hundreds of thousands of years, it had already become very fragile. The slightest exertion of my hand would tear the sutra into pieces.

Inside the quilt, I touched something hard. I knew it was the stone man in the coffin. I saw it last time when I opened the coffin with Lantern Festival.

There's nothing terrible about this, the stone man is the stone, although so far, the strange things I've seen can be said to be innumerable, but I know in my heart that it is impossible for the stone to have any strange changes, from ancient times to the present reality and legends are counted, the stone has mutated and there are signs of life, and Sun Wukong is one! But the five-trick stone man is another matter, and that thing is artificially made after all.

In other words, there was something else in this coffin besides me and the stone man. Although my heart was almost jumping out of my mouth, my hand, driven by the most primitive human curiosity, slowly passed over the stone man and felt in the other direction of the coffin.

Suddenly, I touched something soft again, but the stiffness of my body, and the high degree of tension, seemed to make my perception decrease, I didn't feel for a while whether it was a part of the quilt or not, but soon, when I felt its shape, my heart suddenly felt a spirit, and the outstretched hand retracted as if it were an electric shock. Because, what I touched was also a hand, a somewhat cold hand!

There's one more person in there. This discovery made my heart feel from fear to shock in an instant!

I listened intently to the movement outside the museum, and there seemed to be no sound anymore. Maybe the things in the fog have left.

I gently pushed the coffin board with my foot, ready to open the lid and go out. I just wanted to exert myself, but suddenly there was a loud "boom" sound from outside, I was startled, and quickly retracted my legs, I couldn't guess the situation outside, could it be that something had changed?

Although there are some problems in this coffin, at least it doesn't seem fatal now, but it feels more dangerous on the outside. So I once again dismissed the idea of going out for the time being.

Strangely, the loud noise came once and then vanished. I was wondering, but suddenly I felt that someone was shooting the coffin again, and at the same time calling my name, I could hear that it was the voice of Lantern Xiao and the second uncle.

Suddenly, my heart was relieved, and it seemed that it was safe outside. I can't stay in this ghost place for a second, but the coffin is indeed a ghost place, and it's not what people should be in.

The lid of the coffin was pushed open, and a flashlight shone in. I hurriedly blocked my eyes with my hand, and at this time, I heard Lantern Xiao's startled voice coming, "What's the matter??" Immediately afterwards, I felt the flashlight in Lan Xiao's hand slightly deflect to the side, and Lan Xiao continued: "Zhuo Ran, I thought you were alone in this coffin, but I didn't expect it to be a double room!" ”

When I heard Lantern Xiao say this, I hurriedly sat up and took a look, only to find that on the other side of the coffin, there was a person huddled up, this person was very thin, no wonder I didn't notice it when I came in.

The second uncle stretched out his hand and turned this person's face slightly, his face couldn't help but change, and blurted out: "Why is he?!" ”

I also quickly turned my head to take a look, and immediately found that the person huddled there turned out to be Ma Jun, I was surprised, and I couldn't help blurting out: "Ma Jun? How did he end up here? ”

The second uncle looked at me strangely and asked, "Do you know Ma Jun?" ”

I nodded, and didn't hide it from my second uncle, and told him directly: "Yes, and we have already come in once before this!" ”

The second uncle's face changed suddenly, but he soon returned to normal. He sighed, nodded and said, "Actually, I should have thought a long time ago, you would have come here sooner or later, this is the will of heaven, after all, you are also a descendant of the Faqiu Zhuo family!" ”

I would have had a lot of questions to ask, but now is not the time. We didn't say anything more, but hurriedly lifted Ma Jun out of the coffin. Ma Jun was even thinner than the last time we saw him, and when I reached out and grabbed his wrist, it felt as if I had grasped a dry branch, and I was afraid that I would break it with a little force.

We lay Ma Jun flat on the ground, Ma Jun's face was pale, his breath was weak, and I couldn't imagine what he had experienced since the last encounter. Remembering what the second uncle had told me before, I suddenly felt that Ma Jun was very pitiful, and at the same time complained a little about the second uncle, how could he use such a mentally disabled person!

The second uncle squatted down and drained Ma Jun's pulse, and he couldn't help frowning, "I have to take him out for treatment as soon as possible!" ”

When this happens, the rest of the situation can only be put aside for the time being, and the Ma army will be rescued first. Lantern Xiao and I set up Ma Jun one by one, at this time Ma Jun was already in a semi-comatose state, but there was still a trace of consciousness, and when we pulled him up, he still whispered something. But we didn't hear it clearly.

While supporting Ma Jun, I said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, Ma Jun has a problem with his brain, how can you still keep him here!" Even if you treat him, he owes you, but you shouldn't use him like that. ”

The second uncle looked at me strangely, and suddenly smiled, "You kid doesn't know anything, so you're here to fight nonsense!" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I heard the second uncle continue: "Let me tell you, your second uncle has done some things that are not very righteous in his life, but he is not enough to take advantage of such a fool!" Doing a bad fight has already damaged yin morality, how can I still do such a lack of morality! ”

"Then ..... you" I was a little confused at this time, "I heard Ma Jun say, you left him here?" Didn't you put him here? ”

The second uncle shook his head, "On the surface, it seems like this, speaking of which, let's use each other, if I hadn't let Ma Jun stay here, he would have died a long time ago!" ”

Lantern Xiao and I looked at each other, not understanding what the second uncle meant at all, "Second uncle, what the hell is going on?" Can you make it clear! ”

The second uncle waved his hand, "Let's talk about this later, if we continue to rub it off, Ma Jun will really die!" ”

I had no choice but to nod and walk out with the Lantern Festival with the horse army. But we had barely walked a few steps when a "boom" suddenly sounded from behind us without warning. I was so frightened that I almost threw the horse army on the ground. The sound was the same as what I had just heard in the coffin.

I followed the voice and looked back and asked, "This, what's going on?" ”

But Lantern Xiao and the second uncle looked at each other in some horror, I could see that they seemed to know something, I pulled Lantern Xiao, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lan Xiao's eyes were full of nervousness, "Zhuo Ran, when we came here just now, we didn't notice a single situation. In fact, at that time, there was a gap in the city gate. ”

"What!" I was stunned, I thought back to when I first came here, when we only noticed the light lit by the second uncle on the city tower, and indeed did not notice the situation of the city gate, the black piece in the door hole is indeed completely unclear if you don't look carefully, and who would have thought that the city gate can really be opened on the city tower that is half buried in the earth!

I looked at Lantern Xiao and said, "You saw the city gate open at that time?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Lantern Xiao shook his head, and then said: "I didn't pay attention at that time, I only noticed it after I climbed up the city tower and was instructed by my second uncle!" ”

I looked at the dark direction of the city gate, froze for a moment, and suddenly a very strange thought appeared in my mind, I asked the second uncle a little blankly, "In this way, the rumbling just now is actually ......" I said this, and the second uncle said: "It was the sound of the city gate closing, so the two of us thought it was okay and came down!" ”

Speaking of this, a cool air suddenly appeared from my back, "If the sound just now was the sound of the city gate closing, then this one just now is ......" I swallowed my saliva and said hard: "Could it be that the city gate is open again!" ”
