Chapter 34: A knock at the door of the tomb
Lantern Xiao also hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of us worked together, and the gate of Niangniang Temple was pushed open by us. Through the cracks, we saw the light shining through.
And by the light we saw that the latch behind the door was plugged in.
Lantern Xiao was stunned, "What?" Could it be that there is someone inside? How else would the latch be plugged in? As he spoke, Lantern Xiao leaned on the door and looked inside through the crack in the door.
Just when Lantern Xiao was concentrating, suddenly, an eye flashed out of the doorway.
Lantern Xiao was caught off guard, with a loud cry of "ah", he sat on the ground, took several steps back, pointed to the door and shouted, "There is an eye!" There is an eye!! ”
I was also taken aback, and instantly raised the knife, and said in my heart that whatever you do, as long as you dare to disadvantage us, I will give you a knife first!
And at this moment, I heard a soft exclamation inside the door, which made me feel a turn in my heart, "Could it be that the things inside the door are also afraid?" ”
I also had the courage to turn to the crack in the door and look in, and I was stunned. I saw behind the door, Ma Jun was standing with a panicked face. I cursed in my heart, "It's scary and scary!" ”
I turned to Lantern Xiao and said, "It's okay, it's still Ma Jun inside!" ”
When Lantern Xiao heard me say this, she got up from the ground with a grunt, "Damn!" MD! Lantern Xiao rushed to the door and pushed the temple door hard, "Ma Jun!" Hurry up and open the door! ”
I saw through the crack in the door that Ma Jun still seemed to be very nervous, and he didn't mean to step forward to open the door, I stretched out my hand to stop the Lantern Festival who was about to smash the door, "Don't be like this, he won't dare to open the door when he is scared!" ”
Lantern Xiao stopped and whispered, "This neurosis! ”
I glanced at Lantern Xiao, "He's a psychopath." At this time, I heard strange voices coming from all sides, and when I looked at the darkness on both sides, I couldn't see anything, but I always felt that there were many things hidden there.
I didn't dare to slack off any longer, and persuaded Ma Jun through the crack in the door, "Uncle Ma, I'm Zhuo Ran, it's your second brother Zhuo's nephew, we met outside just now!" ”
Lantern Xiao leaned over and said, "Think about it again, you also ate the ham sausage and bread we gave you, and you also smoked my cigarette!" ”
Ma Jun seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face softened, but his gaze still looked a little dull.
I felt that the voices around me were getting closer and closer, and I was anxious at this time, but I still held back the anxiety in my heart and persuaded Ma Jun with good words.
Eventually, Ma Jun walked over slowly and looked at me through the crack in the door, "Are you the eldest nephew?" I nodded hurriedly, and Ma Jun looked at Lantern Xiao again, "You?" Lantern Xiao pointed at me, "I'm your eldest nephew's good brother, we're all together!" ”
Who knows, as soon as the Lantern Festival voice fell, Ma Jun's face changed, and he turned around and was about to leave. I hurriedly stopped him, "Oops! Uncle Ma! Don't go, he's wrong, he, he's a grandson! ”
Lantern Xiao listened to my words and immediately stabbed me in the back, "What are you talking about!" I waved my hand and told him to shut up.
Ma Jun listened to my words, and sure enough, he turned around and walked back, looked at me, and then looked at Lantern Xiao, "Nephew? Grandson? ”
I quickly nodded, and Lantern Xiao also nodded with a smile on her face.
In this way, under the excited eyes of the two of us, Ma Jun finally opened the latch, and we hurriedly stepped in, and quickly re-inserted the door! I looked out through the crack in the door again, and it was pitch black in the tunnel, and I couldn't see anything. But I could hear some strange sounds lingering around.
I quickly withdrew my gaze, I really didn't want to see that kind of "unexpected" picture.
The three of us returned to the main hall of the temple. The half of the candle was still burning, and although we were not out of trouble at this time, it should be safe for at least a short time, and I sat on the ground with Lantern Xiao, and we could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although we are not yet sure whether things happened according to a certain period of time, as I have inferred, we now have time to think and prepare for countermeasures, and I think that Ma Jun must know much more about this place than we do.
I pointed to the candle on the altar, "You lit this?" ”
Ma Jun nodded, and I then asked, "When we passed by here just now, we only saw candles, but we didn't see you." ”
Ma Jun pointed in a general direction with his hand, "I'm going over there to have a look, I have to rush back before those things come out!" ”
I drank some water and ate something with Lantern Xiao, I handed some to Ma Jun casually, and then asked him, "Do you know that there is something outside?" ”
Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little nervously.
I then asked, "Do you know what the hell is out there?" ”
Ma Jun swallowed the contents of his mouth and whispered to us, "Those are the people who live here!" ”
As soon as Ma Jun's voice fell, Lantern Xiao didn't swallow a mouthful of water, and all of them squirted out, and Lantern Xiao wiped his mouth and said, "Damn!" Can that still be called! There is no living person who lives in this place! ”
I was also chilled by Ma Jun's words.
I asked Ma Jun if he came here often. Ma Jun nodded, "Second brother asked me to come here often!" ”
"My second uncle asked you to come?" Every time I mention my second uncle, I will be inexplicably a little excited, "What did he ask you to do?" ”
Ma Jun took a bite of the food in his hand, and said while chewing: "Second brother, let me see if the city gate is opened." ”
"City gates?" Lantern Xiao asked, "How can there be a city gate here?" Crazy again. Lantern Xiao looked at me, "Zhuo Ran, I see that you can't ask him anything, let's make our own plans." ”
Ma Jun was a little anxious when he heard Lantern Xiao's words, rolled his eyes and argued: "There is a city gate!" Of course there are gates! It's inside! ”
I don't think Ma Jun is talking like he's talking nonsense, "You mean, someone has not only built a street here, but even built a city gate?!" ”
Ma Jun nodded firmly. Lantern Xiao also showed a surprised expression, "I'll go, this tomb owner is playing SimCity, and it's quite complete one set!" ”
Sure enough, this situation is similar to what I thought, there is a reason why Ma Jun was left here by my second uncle, and I am afraid that there is also a reason why the second uncle and even the ancestors of the Zhuo family stayed around this ancient tomb.
I hurriedly asked Ma Jun, "Why is my second uncle staring at the city gate?" ”
Ma Jun's expression was a little strange this time, he sat next to me and Lantern Xiao, and said mysteriously: "Further from here, it is the Rakshasa City managed by the Lord of Yama, where large and small lonely souls and wild ghosts all live in it!" Once the city gate is opened, won't all the ghosts inside escape! So the second brother let me stare at it! ”
Lantern Xiao smiled, "What's the use of letting you stare at it, you're not Sun Wukong!" ”
Ma Jun didn't seem to like what Lantern Xiao said, so he glanced at him and said, "Second brother said, once you see the city gate open, if he doesn't come back, he will blow it up!" It's like that underground house in Yamashita Village! ”
My heart suddenly sank, I don't know what the purpose of the second uncle is, but there must be some secret hidden in this ancient tomb.
Of course, it is definitely not the statement of the lonely soul and wild ghost of Rakshasa City, it must be made up by the second uncle to fool Ma Jun, the second uncle is sometimes very bold, but sometimes he is also very cautious, what can be said must not be said, he knows very well in his heart.
I looked at Ma Jun and asked, "You often come here alone, aren't you afraid?" ”
Ma Jun nodded, "I was a little scared at first, but the second brother said that as long as this candle is lit, it's fine!" "I still want to continue to ask for information from Ma Jun, but after all, he still has some mental problems, is it difficult to concentrate, and then I asked him a few more questions, and he said that the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth, and he didn't know what to say, so I had to give up.
I looked at each other with Lantern Xiao, and Lantern Xiao sighed, "I now know why your Zhuo family has been surrounding this ancient tomb for more than a hundred years, it is indeed too tricky." ”
I didn't speak, but fell into thought. Why did the Zhuo family bite such an ancient tomb? Is the burial chamber under the ancestral house the same thing as the ancient tomb here? The most important question is what happened to the coffin and tablet in that burial chamber?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Lantern Xiao gently pushed me, "Let's find that city gate and take a look, maybe there will be a discovery." ”
I looked at Lantern Xiao and sneered, "Let's get out of the current situation first!" ”
"But ......" Lantern Festival didn't finish speaking, and suddenly we heard a knock on the door of "Dangdang" at the door of the temple!
Lantern Xiao and I were stunned for a moment, and when we heard clearly what the sound was, our faces turned white in an instant. Ma Jun even shrank under the Buddhist shrine at once.
I asked Ma Jun in a low voice, "Have you ever encountered this situation before?" ”
Ma Jun shook his head in horror.
The knock on the door continued, so unhurriedly, one after another, as if a good-natured friend was visiting, but in this quiet environment, every knock on the door made our hearts tremble.
In the end, Lantern Xiao couldn't sit still, held the sushi knife, put the flashlight into his arms, and slowly walked towards the door. At this time, I felt extremely nervous and frightened, but I gritted my teeth and decided to go over with Lantern Festival to have a look.
Just as we were just a few steps out of the main hall, the knock on the door suddenly stopped. The heart that I have been carrying is only temporarily put back.
Lantern Xiao looked at me and motioned if I wanted to take a look in the past, I shook my head and pointed to the main hall, Lantern Xiao looked at the door, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked back!
I shook my head and sat down again, "This damn place, I really didn't expect it to be like this, I really don't want to stay here anymore." ”
