Chapter 148: The Grave Keeper

Tang Zixi glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and sneered: "I know that Gongzi Li is erudite and talented, and you know everything." You know everything, why are you stuck here?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Yu's face, and he said with a smile: "Miss Tang praised it falsely, and she just speculated according to common sense. Actually, I'm not sure. After speaking, he walked to Tang Zixi and knelt down, kowtowing a few times to the sarcophagus.

However, he kowtowed only slightly, and did not actually kowtow. Tang Zixi frowned, but he didn't force it, stood up and said, "Okay, let's take a look around, maybe there are other organs." With that, he began to look around carefully.

Not long after, Miss Tang, who was listening carefully to the sound of the stone wall, suddenly heard Li Yu cheering: "Someone has obviously moved here, and there is still a gap, and the big brother came over to help push it." ”

Tang Zixi looked back and saw Li Yu standing next to the sarcophagus pushing hard, but the weight of the sarcophagus was obviously genuine, and he didn't shake the sarcophagus even if his face was red.

She walked up to Li Yu's side, frowned, and said, "Where is the gap?"

"Wow!" Li Yu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and pointed to the lid of the sarcophagus, "This coffin lid is not sealed, it should have been opened." ”

Tang Zixi was about to speak, when a piercing 'click' sound came, which immediately attracted her attention.

It turned out that the big man didn't know when he stood by Li Yu's side, and raised his hand to directly push out the lid of the sarcophagus for more than half of it.

Before Tang Zixi could reprimand the big man, a rotten breath poured out and covered her face. She only felt a churn in her stomach and couldn't help but retch.

As soon as Li Yu saw the lid of the coffin being pushed open, he vigilantly pulled Miss Tang away, in case there was any hidden weapon in the coffin, but the three of them shrank aside for a long time, and there was nothing abnormal in the sarcophagus. He was bold, and he didn't see him holding his breath or making any preparations, so he walked directly to the sarcophagus and poked his head in.

Tang Zixi was about to make a reminder, Li Yu suddenly let out a miserable scream, and then his whole body began to scratch and kick, as if there was something in the sarcophagus that wanted to drag him in.

She didn't care about thinking about anything else, so she hurriedly ran over and grabbed one of Li Yu's arms and pulled it back desperately. However, the strength in the sarcophagus was extremely great, and soon most of Li Yu's body was dragged in, leaving only that arm outside.

The big man also reacted, and hurriedly ran over to help pull. Before his hand could reach that arm, Li Yu suddenly emerged from the sarcophagus and shouted at the same time: "Ha, I'm scared!"

Tang Zixi was stunned, looked at Li Yu with an excited face, suddenly raised his hand and slapped him, and said angrily: "Are you sick?"

Li Yu's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he muttered after a while: "I see that you have been sullen, and I want to make you happy." ”

It's good that he doesn't explain, this explanation Miss Tang almost lost her breath, and she really wanted to open his head to see if it was filled with grass. She suddenly felt extremely tired, waved her hand, and said, "What's in the sarcophagus?"

Li Yu was so frightened by her raised hand again that he shrank back, and seeing that she didn't mean to hit him again, he hurriedly said flatteringly: "It's empty, it's empty." There's a mechanism at the bottom of the coffin, and I've just opened it to find a secret passage. Seeing Tang Zixi's expressionless appearance, he said tentatively, "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Tang Zixi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect to be hit by him, it was really an empty coffin. Without replying, he walked over directly, and Li Yu quickly flashed to the side to get out of the way.

Inside the sarcophagus, there is a secret passage, and the steps that wind down lead to the deeper ground, which looks unfathomable. Tang Zixi casually took out a night pearl and threw it down, only to see the sound of bones, and soon there was a soft sound of 'dong'.

Li Yu said in surprise: "There is water down there. ”

Tang Zixi nodded and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a miserable cry coming from below, although the voice was extremely weak, she was sure that she had heard correctly. She raised her head to look at Li Yu and the big man, and the two of them obviously heard it too, and they also stared at each other.

Is there anyone else here?

"Tomb robbers?" Tang Zixi blurted out with Li Yu almost at the same time.

The two of them glanced at each other, and both noticed the worried look on each other's faces. Tang Zixi was worried that those people would be bad for him, while Li Yu was worried that the things in the tomb would be taken away.

"You stay here, I'll go down first!"

Li Yu dropped a sentence and quickly got into the secret passage.

Tang Zixi was stunned, and then said to the big man: "You stay here, I'll go and see it too!" The big man wouldn't let her out of his sight, and he followed in.

The three of them moved extremely quickly, and soon stood where the Night Pearl fell. It looks more like a pit here, there is a lot of water in the pit, and it directly covers their legs, and Miss Tang is relatively petite, so almost half of her body is soaked in water. The place where they came down happened to be an oblique passage, so there were no water stains in the previous burial chamber.

At this moment, there was another upward passage above their heads, and a faint light came through the passage, and it could be seen that the steps had not been visited for a long time, and the top was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Li Yu turned his head to look at Tang Zixi and was about to speak, but his mouth was covered by a cold little hand, and then a conversation came.

"How many people are there?"

"In addition to the one just now, there are thirteen people. ”

"Okay, you go and tell the kestrel to get ready. This time, I won't let any of them out, and let them all stay here with their masters. ”

Li Yu's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Tang Zixi, who had a serious face, his eyes were full of admiration, he didn't expect the other party's hearing to be so good, but he didn't find any clues before.

Tang Zixi gestured to the two of them, and climbed up the steps lightly, in order not to make a sound, she almost crawled on the steps on all fours, moving up inch by inch.

Li Yu did the same with the big man, and followed her to climb up slowly.

At this moment, the two people in the stone room didn't notice the abnormality below, one was a thin old man in black robe, although his face was full of wrinkles, he looked energetic, and he was more imposing than the respectful middle-aged man in front of him.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was standing still and frowned, "Why don't you leave?"

The middle-aged man said with some hesitation: "The subordinates seem to have seen the young master." ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then waved his hand and said, "You send someone out to investigate, if it is really the young master who takes him out, remember to protect him thoroughly." Also, don't let him find out about us. ”

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "Yes!"

"Wait!" the old man suddenly shouted to stop the middle-aged man, picked up the long knife on the side and said, "I'd better go, you go to the kestrel to help." With that, he walked out of the stone chamber.

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man walked to the corner of the wall and opened a gold-painted wooden box, took out an object from it and put it in his arms, and then walked out of the stone room.
