Back...down
This was the only thing the man in black robe did after I saw him.
His voice was hazy, hoarse and extremely dry, as if he was speaking for the first time in a long time.
Miraculously, just these two words made Lu Renchang's two corpses stop.
They no longer attack us frantically, their facial textures gradually balance, and they silently retreat to the man in black robe.
Shao Xiaolong tried pointing his gun at the tall mummy, even though there was a high probability that it would be useless.
"Hey, are you kidding me? Is this thing really from the coffin in the back room?"
Ah Huai held the engineering shovel in his hand and trembled together, and said funnyly: "What do you think?".
Shao Xiaolong only felt his head hurt:
"It was already difficult enough for unknown things to possess the two corpses, but now a real corpse appears."
"If this thing were real, how old would it be?"
"It's unbelievable that a real ancient corpse would come out of the coffin."
"It's blocking our way out, and it doesn't look like it's easy to talk to."
The man in black robe's large black robe suddenly started to flap without wind, and something was staring at us from the eye sockets of the black abyss.
The swing of his sleeves and robe caused a burst of wind, and he took a step with his hands behind his back.
Boom...everyone of us was shocked in an instant,
No, the whole tomb shook.
Crack...bang...cracks like spider webs started to spread from under its feet,
Cracks suddenly appeared on the walls of the middle room and on the top of the tomb, and dust, sand and gravel fell down.
One has to wonder, if it takes another step forward, will the middle chamber collapse?
The soul flame in my right hand also succumbed for the first time, and the fire was very weak. The other hand held the talisman borrowed from Ah Huai.
If we were prepared to have a chance encounter before, our thoughts changed after the man in black robe took a step forward.
Ah Huai closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then took the initiative to throw away the engineer shovel.
Shao Xiaolong sighed helplessly. He seemed to understand something and threw the gun aside.
In the next scene, the two of them knelt down simultaneously facing the man in black robe.
Qin Yan and I were still standing. I didn't understand, but Qin Yan ignored her.
Ah Huai and Shao Xiaolong put their hands on the ground, their foreheads touched, and they kowtowed three times in a row.
When the third one finished kowtowing, the two of them did not raise their heads but touched their heads to the ground and said sincerely:
"I am truly sorry and regretful for disturbing your noble slumber."
"Please forgive me, sir. We have no ill intentions. We just came down to look for something."
"We are not the same people as those who disturbed your noble lord before, but our intrusion is also disrespectful to your noble lord. Please forgive me for our offense."
"We will leave this place immediately and swear never to enter again!"
The man in black robe can understand our words because he reacts,
The throat, as dry as a dead tree, rose and fell with difficulty, as if a hard object had been stuffed into the skin.
"You have not offended my little master, and you are repentant."
"I allow you to withdraw, and you must guarantee that you will survive until your death, and this place will no longer be invaded."
"Can you respond?"
Shao Xiaolong and Ah Huai hesitated for a moment, but still nodded in agreement: "Yes!".
"We swear that we will guard this place from being invaded by others as long as we live for one day."
What can you do if you don't agree? Is it really possible to have a fight with this ancient corpse?
Moreover, Ah Huai and the others agreed to take me and Qin Yan out first, so that we were not bound by the contract.
This is a trick and a risk.
The only thing I can compete with the man in black robe is summoning Ma Qing. Let’s not talk about whether I can survive after summoning Ma Qing.
We can't get through it based on logic alone. We break into other people's tombs and disturb their rest.
If someone gets angry and you refuse to obey, you want to kill them. Isn't this a bad person?
Besides, now that people take the initiative to give you access to the stairs, it’s already a miracle that it makes concessions.
Ah Huai and Shao Xiaolong continued to kowtow and wait for the man in black robe's reply.
Witnessing this situation, it was really hard for me to accept it.
Maybe it was because he couldn't bear to see Ah Huai and Shao Xiaolong humbled, or maybe it was because of his weak self-esteem.
Indeed, now that we can go out safely is the most perfect ending.
As for guarding this tomb, it's not a big deal. A Huai has always done this kind of thing.
And I also captured an important message from the words of the man in black robe, little master!
There is a master above him. Isn’t he the master of the tomb?
He is just a guardian, is there someone else who owns the tomb?
Rustling... the sound of rolling gravel appeared again, and the tall man in black robe slowly moved away to make way for the passage behind.
"Go back."
Shao Xiaolong and Ah Huai were overjoyed when they heard this. This was exactly what they expected.
The two of them thanked each other quickly, and I silently grabbed A Huai and Shao Xiaolong's shoulders and helped them up.
They did enough and we were able to get out.
As we gathered together to go out together, we could clearly feel the dark eye sockets of the man in black robe looking at each of us.
When it saw me, it stopped, as if it had discovered something, and just stared at me.
I didn't want to look him in the eye, so I could only pretend that I didn't know, and at the same time hoped that he wouldn't change his mind.
"Shasha...does it hurt...?", the words of the man in black robe suddenly rang in my ears.
My steps suddenly stopped, and I looked sideways at him.
I am extremely sure that what he just said was directed at me.
"What do you mean?", I asked it.
"Would it... be heartbreaking?", the face with dead tree bark opened its mouth and repeated.
I stopped, leaving Shao Xiaolong and Ah Huai puzzled.
The conversation I had with the man in black robe made their hair stand on end and they were dumbfounded.
"Brother Zhang is talking to that guy?"
"That's wrong, it seems like it's talking to Daozhang Zhang."
'impossible......'
Ah Huai took a step back and grabbed my arm: "Brother Zhang, we have to leave."
"He may be saying to himself, this is a rare opportunity, we must seize it."
"Oh, I'm sorry," I apologized and was about to start, but suddenly stopped.
My eyes were fixed on Ah Huai’s arm.
The silver jewelry on his hand is missing...
