Chapter 837: Under the Tomb (II)
That is, in fact, we are going into the pit.
The appearance of this judgment shocked my heart. Regardless of whether it is poor or rich, as long as you choose a yin house, you don't choose it in the pit, even if the conditions are not good and you can't afford to buy a good cemetery, you must find a flat land or a gentle slope, and no one will choose the cemetery in the pit.
With such a great feng shui, why choose such a place?
This is in the "Book of Burial", called "the ancestors lived in the evil pit, and they could not rise for a hundred generations". At the same time, rumors about Liu Xu came to my mind - none of the people who followed him into the tomb could come out alive. Is there really a tomb in this pit?
Even if I don't want to think about Liu Xu in this direction, the changes that are taking place still make me vigilant. I unconsciously lowered the steel knife in my sleeve in case I needed it. And the beggar was the first to hold back his doubts, he stood behind Liu Xu, and asked loudly: "My brother, we have walked so far, we still have to go?" ”
Liu Xu didn't reply, only threw down a sentence: "It's not far away." ”
I tugged at the beggar's sleeve, threw him a look, and motioned for him to stop talking and look back.
Finally, from noon to afternoon, Liu Xu slowly stopped. The beggar panted against the tree and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the black ash and sweat on his face were directly mixed together, like a mandrill.
"Arrived, arrived? Elder brother. The beggar asked breathlessly.
Liu Xu turned his head, looked at me intently, and asked, "Are you tired?" ”
"Me?" I replied, confused, "I'm not tired." ”
"Why aren't you tired?" Liu Xu asked step by step.
I was slightly stunned and asked, "Why am I tired?" Isn't it just a matter of taking a few extra steps? ”
Liu Xu nodded lightly and diverted the topic: "I'm going to go down soon." When you enter the tomb, you two must obey my command unconditionally, and I don't have the extra energy to take care of you two. Also, this trip, at least one or two days, at most three or five days, I hope you two are mentally prepared. Besides, there's so much in this tomb that you haven't seen before, don't be scared out of your mind. ”
"There are not a few people who have gone crazy at the bottom of the tomb." Liu Xu added slowly, unable to tell whether he was concerned or threatened.
The beggar stood up with some difficulty, and muttered, "After walking for so long, can you rest, brother." ”
Liu Xu checked his backpack and said, "You rest slowly, it's your time that is delayed anyway." ”
The beggar hurriedly said, "Yes, let's go down now." ”
I stopped the beggar and said firmly, "You rest, we are not in a hurry anyway." ”
No matter how big a thing is, it is not as important as a person. This is what my master taught me.
The beggar looked at me gratefully, rubbed his knees, and said with a sigh: "You don't know, for so many years, I have either been kneeling or squatting. The knee has long been useless, and this leg can't go far. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood." I comforted the beggar.
Turning my head, I threw my backpack on the ground, leaned against the beggar's side, and pretended to ask casually, "Brother Liu, what if this person is really scared crazy in the tomb?" ”
Liu Xu pulled the backpack rope fiercely, and a cold snort erupted from his nose: "Crazy, crazy." I don't have the energy to care about them. ”
"Is it to fend for itself?" I replied with a feigned lightheartedness.
Liu Xu raised his head, with indescribable emotions hidden in his eyes, and nodded slowly: "That's right." Sometimes, I help them with their pain. ”
As soon as these words came out, the beggar and I looked at each other in unison, and the implication of these words was that it was completely up to us whether we could survive or not below, and if something happened to us in the tomb, he would not help.
In this way, the rumors heard by the beggars are not groundless......
