Chapter 122: Digging for Treasure
Su Wen was so frightened that he trembled, but he was still very righteous enough, and insisted on entering this dark strange temple with Lu Lie to find out.
Lu Lie was depressed, but he was not particularly flustered. It's only a few dozen kilometers away from my home, and if something really happens, I can get out of danger with a howl and run for a while, and basically nothing big will happen.
According to his experience, judging from the current situation, he inevitably thinks too much, and in the end it is likely to be a false alarm.
So he didn't stop Su Wen, who insisted on following him. Lu Lie tiptoed in front, Su Wen put down the wine pot and roast chicken he was carrying, and followed Lu Lie cautiously. Together, the two sneaked into this dark forbidden area.
There is no difference between the temple and the first time Lu Lie stepped in, dust to dust, dust to dust, dust to earth, but the hall that originally enshrined the Buddha statue of cannibalism was empty at this time.
Lu Lie probed into it, although it was pitch black, there didn't seem to be any terrifying monsters lurking in it, and he unconsciously slowly relaxed. And continue to explore deeply. This small temple is so big in total, Lu Lie and Su Wen touched it all the way along the root of the wall, not to mention Liu Laosi, who didn't even touch a single hair. Gradually, it was solid, there were only the two of them in this empty black temple, although they finally didn't have to be as cautious as before, but with another clue broken, Lu Lie's heart was always a little empty.
"Damn, I'm so angry. Su Wen sat in the corner of the wall, no matter how dirty the floor was, and said angrily with his arms crossed, "This Liu Laosi is very hateful, hiding in this temple to scare people, and he wants to ask us to get him food." Now, the roast chicken and wine have also been brought to him, but they have really disappeared. ”
Now, Lu Lie has calmed down. He always felt that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of something, but he couldn't catch or touch the shadow of that vague thing. He patted Su Wen's head and motioned for her to stand up: "Forget it, don't care about that hateful Liu Laosi." By the way, didn't you say that I used to bury things behind the temple when I was a child, so let's go and see what I buried seven years ago?"
Su Wen's temperament was really like a child, he was slightly distracted, and the unhappiness in front of him immediately disappeared: "Hey, I'll take you to have a look." I remember when you were a kid and you were very stingy, and you didn't want to tell anyone, including me, about anything you buried in that pit. For seven years, no one knows how much you've buried in that pit......"
The two talked and came to a hidden muddy clearing behind the temple. It's been seven years, and even if this place was dug up seven years ago, the mud and rocks on the ground are so tight that you can't see any flaws.
Lu Lie became more and more curious in his heart, and knelt down directly and used his fingers to pick up the land.
He didn't want to use his fingers to fiddle with it, but the more he dug down, the harder the soil became, and he was about to dig into the underground stone layer, and the soil he dug out was almost piled up into a hill, and he still didn't see anything.
Looking at the traces of blood flowing from his fingers, Lu Lie wanted to cry without tears.
Su Wen couldn't stand it anymore, picked a thick branch, and while helping Lu Lie dig the ground, he said to himself with some curiosity: "Strange, it's almost over, why haven't you seen it yet?" I said, what did you bury underneath at that time, how did you bury it so deeply......
Lu Lie said angrily: "I said, sister, did you remember the wrong position? Otherwise, what kind of food was buried seven years ago, and by now, it would have been corrupted into mud a long time ago?"
As they were talking, Lu Lie suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingers, as if he had been stung by something while stirring in the mud. He subconsciously retracted his hand and snorted softly.
"What? what?" Su Wen's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Lie with interest. Apparently, he was digging in front of him when he came across something underneath.
"I don't know, but it's sharp to the touch, so it can't be a sword or something. Lu Lie muttered in his heart. He sent Su Wen to the temple to fetch a lampstand that was close to the end of the lamp, took two stone tablets, skillfully knocked out the sparks, lit the lampstand, and placed it on the mud pit to watch carefully.
Under the cloudy light, Lu Lie and Su Wen saw that it was something white, revealing a sharp tip in the soil, and it was obvious that it was this pointed tip that had coldly "ding" Lu Lie in the dark just now. It's only now that it's the tip of the iceberg, and it's hard to tell what it is.
"Bear child. Lu Lie scolded viciously, and he didn't know whether he was scolding himself seven years ago, or Su Wen behind him, or the white unknown object in the mud pit. He just bent down and continued his great excavation.
Find the right direction, and the next excavation speed will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
It was only halfway through the excavation, and the white thing was exposed more and more, and Lu Lie faintly felt that something was wrong. When a third of it was exposed, Su Wen covered his eyes and screamed loudly in fright.
It was a complete pair of ribs.
It's not clear, though, whether it's a human or an animal's rib. But even if it's an animal's ribs, it's too sensational. Just imagine, seven years ago, Lu Lie was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, how could he secretly bury the corpse of such a big animal behind this temple?
Lu Lie's face was as ugly as iron blue, and naturally, he didn't remember that he had this experience at all.
He didn't say a word, just sped up his excavation. As more soil was dug up, Su Wen was already shivering with fear, huddled into a corner and curled up in a ball.
The entire skeleton was finally completely dug out by Lu Lie, and it was really a human skeleton.
Look at the owner of this skeleton, he was about a head shorter than Lu Lie before his death, and his body was petite. For the time being, it was impossible to distinguish between men and women, and no fatal wounds were found on the bones.
Su Wen ...... Are you really sure...... This is the 'treasure cave' that I used to have. ”
"Yes...... Yes...... Absolute...... Can't go wrong......"
Lu Lie's pupils shrank into two points.
Seven years ago, he buried a body here.
Seven years later, he dug up the remaining bones of the corpse with his own hands.
For...... Why is that?
Things have changed again.
The little light that Lu Lie had managed to grasp in his mind was suddenly and completely disrupted in front of the bones that suddenly appeared.
