Chapter 41: The Gate Changes

I was completely defenseless against his move, I was taken aback, and involuntarily took two steps back, "Damn! What are you doing! ”

Lantern Xiao looked under the scripture cloth, smiled, and then lifted all the scriptures at once, "Look for yourself, what's underneath this?" ”

I looked into the coffin, and sure enough, there was indeed a stone under the prayer cloth, but this stone was carved into the shape of a human being, to be precise, the bottom of the prayer cloth was covered with a stone man.

Lantern Xiao shone a flashlight on the stone man and said, "What is there to be afraid of a stone?" You're afraid it will jump up and hit you! ”

I didn't expect it to be such a thing down there, and it looked like an ordinary stone, nothing special.

Seeing this situation, I don't understand why a good person would bury a stone man in a coffin. Lantern Xiao was actually full of fog, he looked at the other coffins, "Do you think that the people buried in these coffins are also stone people?" ”

We went up to check the situation of the other coffins, and found that the lids of the remaining five coffins were all tightly closed, which was not the same as the situation just now.

I said, "I think the rest of the coffins are different from the one just now, and if it's only that one special, I can probably guess the purpose." ”

"Oh?" As soon as Lantern Xiao heard this, he hurriedly urged me to speak quickly.

I said, "I know that once a coffin is put into the tomb, it must not be empty, otherwise the yin qi will gather, and it will be easy for evil things to occupy it, causing accidents in the tomb and affecting the tomb owner." And if there are special circumstances, you must put the empty coffin in the burial chamber, then you must use something to occupy the place, most of them will be stone or wooden statues. I think that's what we're encountering here. ”

After listening to my words, Lantern Xiao agreed, "What you said sounds very reasonable." Do you mean that these coffins actually have corpses inside? ”

I nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

Lantern Xiao frowned, "Then you say, why did you leave an empty coffin here?" I shook my head, indicating that I didn't have a clue about it. Lantern Xiao thought about it carefully and looked up at me, "Do you think there is any meaning in this?" ”

I looked at him quizzically, "What do you mean?" ”

Lantern Xiao leaned closer and said softly: "I once saw such a thing, two people broke into the murderous house at night, only to find two empty coffins at the back of the house. The two men disappeared after that, and they were eventually found inside the two empty coffins, which were for them! After finishing speaking, Lantern Xiao nodded meaningfully at me.

I got goosebumps when he said it, "You mean, this coffin is actually for one of us?" ”

Lantern Xiao scratched her head, "I'm just guessing." ”

When I saw him like this, I asked, "Who are you listening to about that?" Is it reliable? ”

Lantern Xiao was silent for a long time, and said two words, "Online!" ”

"Holy!" I flew up and kicked over, "You can believe it on the Internet!" Isn't your brain broken!! ”

Lantern Xiao hurriedly dodged sideways, "Hey, I'm just enlivening the tense atmosphere!" ”

"!" I took a sip on him, "Telling ghost stories in the tomb is called livening up the atmosphere?!" ”

Lantern Xiao waved his hand, "Okay, okay, just kidding!" Seriously, what should we do? Do you want to ......" Lantern Xiao paused and continued: "Shall we open a few other coffins and have a look?" ”

I thought about it, but I still shook my head, "I don't think those coffins have been opened, the Zhuo family hasn't opened the coffin for more than 100 years of exploring this ancient tomb, there must be a reason for this, I think we should not act rashly!" ”

Lantern Xiao was obviously a little disappointed, but still nodded, "Then what should we do?" Go on? ”

I looked at the gate of the black hole, and suddenly felt that it was very eerie, so I said: "I still don't want it, but in this ancient city, we are already overwhelmed and difficult to parry, and we must not be able to deal with it further." Let's quit as soon as possible, and make plans when we find my second uncle in the future! ”

Lantern Festival has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he is open-minded, he can afford to put it down, and he can distinguish the importance clearly. Although he still has the underworld weapon in his mind, he understands that my words make sense, and he will never dwell on them, knowing the trade-offs.

Lantern Xiao looked in the direction of the ancient city, "In that case, we still have to travel through the sea of stars again!" ”

I deflected the flashlight and looked at the light in the depths of the ancient city, and to be honest, I was looking forward to the wonderful feeling of stepping on the Milky Way.

At this moment, behind us, there was a sudden "rumbling". Lantern Xiao and I were both so frightened by this sudden sound that we shrank our necks. Looking back in amazement, he saw that the sound was coming from the half-buried gatehouse.

My heart suddenly chuckled, oh no, it couldn't be that the city gate really opened by itself, right?

I was going to turn around and take a look, but then the dirt above my head began to fall, and in an instant there was a thick layer of dirt on both of us' heads, necks, and shoulders, and the fall was intensifying. Lantern Xiao grabbed me, "Let's go, it seems like this place is going to collapse!" ”

So the two of us turned off the flashlight, and the light spots flashing from the countless scorpions on the ground of the ancient city next to us pointed out the way for us again. I didn't dare to slack off with Lantern Xiao, I took the first step, stepping on the blank area in the middle of countless points of light and moving forward quickly, Lantern Xiao followed closely behind me, with the experience of the last time, this time the speed of the two of us was obviously a lot faster, and at the same time, I also paid attention to distinguishing the direction, so as not to run in the wrong position again.

But as I ran, I noticed a very serious problem, the light under my feet was rapidly fading, which means that these scorpions are decreasing, and they seem to be re-burrowing into the soil.

As I ran, I said to Lantern Xiao: "Oh no, we have to speed up, you have to follow!" ”

The Lantern Festival in the back was already tired and out of breath, and said breathlessly: "Huh? Why, why! ”

I pointed to the ground and said, "You see the scorpions on the ground are decreasing, we must find an exit before they become fewer!" ”

Lantern Xiao was so tired that his brain didn't turn too much, and he even said stupidly: "Scorpions are decreasing? Isn't that a good thing? Let's just sit down and rest, I'm dying of exhaustion! ”

"No way!!" I immediately shouted forbidden, while the shaking continued, and I shook off the dirt that had fallen off my head, "Lantern Festival, you kid be sober!" Think about it, if there are fewer scorpions to a certain extent, these foothold markers formed on the ground will disappear, and at that time, we will be trapped by this ancient city labyrinth again, and if we want to get out, we can only wait until the next time these scorpions gather, but look at this situation," I said halfway through, a handful of soil fell on the bridge of my nose, and a lot of salty dirt slid into my mouth, I quickly spit it out, I took a few sips, "Look at this situation, if we are trapped here, Just wait to be buried alive! ”

After I finished speaking, but I didn't hear the reply from Lantern Xiao behind, I turned my head to look at Lantern Xiao while running, "Are you okay?" Speak! ”

Lantern Xiao pushed me from behind, "Don't, don't talk to me, I want to hold my strength, hurry!" Speed up!! ”

Lantern Xiao and I ran forward with our best efforts in this underground ancient city, but the situation of the light spots on the ground is changing rapidly, which means that the number of scorpions is still decreasing sharply, and I estimate that in less than half a minute, the route markers on the ground will disappear completely. At that time, we will have more than one bad luck.

I now fully understand a sentence, what is it called only hating my parents to give me two legs! I wish I was Usain Bolt now, but these were just good wishes, and in the end, the light spots on the ground gradually disappeared, and Lantern Xiao and I had to stop, and at the same time, the vibration just now also disappeared at this time.

The two of us were in the dark, all fell into silence, and even forgot to turn on the flashlight, and after a while, the flashlight of Lantern Festival lit up, and he looked at me with an ugly expression, and slowly spit out a word: "Damn!" ”

And I probably have such an emotion in my heart, and after tossing around, we are back to the same place again! The frustration and frustration are indescribable, and the strength of the whole body is instantly drained, and we don't even have the idea of re-exploring.

Just when we were in despair, Lantern Xiao suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted, "Look!! There's a light on that!! ”

I quickly turned my head to look, and sure enough, in one direction of the ancient city, a firelight kept beating. The discovery of this situation undoubtedly brought a life-saving straw to our desperate situation. At this time, Lantern Xiao and I couldn't care about whether the straw was auspicious or vicious, and we couldn't wait to hold on to it without hesitation.

Lantern Xiao and I looked at the direction of the firelight, and no longer spared our physical strength, and ran in that direction with all our might.

When we wandered around this underground ancient city several times, we finally found the stone gate where we entered. At the same time, I also saw Ma Jun standing in front of the door, carrying a cloth bag, holding two torches, shaking vigorously.

Seeing this, my tears almost fell, I never thought that I would feel so kind when I saw this crazy horse army.

I waved my hand and shouted, "Uncle Ma, we're here!" ”

The two of us ran to Ma Jun, and I said to him, "Uncle Ma, the city gate inside ......"
