There was a strong rancid smell in the cold air.
Looking at the four ancient coffins in front of him, He Chuntao felt like his soul was about to fly out.
If she didn't really have any other choice, she would never want to come to this hellish place.
He knelt down tremblingly on the futon in front of the four coffins.
He Chuntao kowtowed three very standard times on the wet ground.
She took out a folded piece of paper from her coat pocket, unfolded it, and began to read the words on it.
"Caomin He Chuntao, I have met several adults."
"The common people came here today to ask for a talisman to save me and my son's life!"
"I promise that once I get my wish, I will honor all of you with my blood every month from now on, and I will never break my promise!"
After saying that, He Chuntao knelt on the ground motionless.
She was lying on the ground, and her hand that was extended forward felt the cold touch on the wet ground. The pain was piercing to the bone, but she resisted and remained motionless.
Soon, a heavy dragging sound was heard.
Among the four coffins in front of He Chuntao, the lid of the second coffin on the left slowly opened.
Suddenly, He Chuntao, who was already trembling, shivered even more fiercely. She hit the ground on her head and did not dare to lift it up at all.
boom!
He Chuntao heard a muffled sound, and from the shadows on both sides of the four coffins, two pale dead people walked out.
The two dead men first placed a table in front of He Chuntao, and then went to the coffin with the lid opened. With both hands, they very respectfully helped out a man wearing an ancient Song Dynasty official uniform... .
Mummy.
At first glance, the mummy looked like a clothed skeleton.
But if you look carefully, you can find that there are pieces of rotten flesh growing between the gaps between the bones.
The two dead men respectfully lifted the mummy from the coffin, then helped it carry it out of the coffin, and finally carried it behind the table in front of He Chuntao.
The two dead men left, and when they came back, one was holding a chair and the other was holding a basin.
Support it!
The chair was placed behind the mummy in official uniform.
Bang!
The basin was thrown on the table.
The two dead men stood to one side, and the mummy sat down slowly but with dignity.
He knocked on the edge of the table with the bones of his hand that looked like they could be blown away by the wind.
When, when, when——
Hearing such a voice, He Chuntao, who was kneeling on the ground, dared to raise his head little by little.
But she didn't dare to look at the mummy in official uniform and the dead man in front of her. Instead, she brought the basin on the table in front of her.
He took out a carving knife from his body and scratched his hand.
Maybe she was afraid of pain, or maybe she was nervous, but her pull didn't draw any blood.
Just try again.
However, by some strange combination of circumstances, He Chuntao failed to draw blood from his finger after several strokes!
This made her anxious, so she quickly increased her strength and stabbed——
Finally, after several attempts, a drop of bright red blood emerged between her fingers!
The moment the blood beads appeared, He Chuntao clearly heard that the whole body of the mummy in front of him was shaking slightly!
He Chuntao couldn't understand the emotions of a mummy, but she had a vague feeling that the mummy seemed to be very excited.
He turned around and dropped the blood drops on his hand into the basin on the table. He Chuntao gently squeezed the bleeding fingers.
Tick tock, tick tock——
Blood fell drop by drop, and the bones on the mummy shook more and more violently.
Until the blood completely covers the pelvic floor, bang!
A blue-gray hand bone covered the table, and He Chuntao was startled.
The hand bone slid towards He Chuntao and slowly took it away, revealing two yellow talisman papers stacked in a triangle shape.
One has "Life" written in parallel script, and the other has "Death" written on it.
Looking at these two talismans, He Chuntao grabbed them in his hand and said excitedly: "There are many grassroots people, thank you sir! Thank you sir!"
After saying that, He Chuntao knelt down again and kowtowed to the mummy in front of her, so that all the blood dripping from her hands fell to the ground.
At this time, the door of the darkroom opened, and the dwarf's voice outside was hoarse and harsh: "It's time for you to go!"
"Oh, oh! Okay, okay!"
He Chuntao put the talisman away, kowtowed to the mummy in front of him, and then turned around and left in a hurry!
After she left, the mummy sitting behind the table got up little by little.
With the support of a dead man, the mummy slowly lay on the ground. Facing the blood that He Chuntao had just dripped on the ground, he opened his mouth and stuck out a rotten tongue...
Outside the darkroom, when He Chuntao left, the stone door of the darkroom closed automatically.
Following the way he came, He Chuntao walked towards the top of the steps.
The dwarf followed her silently.
When he reached the top, He Chuntao turned around and took a look. The dwarf stepped forward. He was about to push open the secret door hidden in the ancient city wall...
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the dwarf's face!
He grabbed He Chuntao, put his dirty fingers in front of his mouth to make a "shh" gesture, and looked at the secret door on the ancient city wall with a very careful look.
It was obvious that the dwarf was a little nervous.
His whole body was shaking, and his short calves couldn't stop trembling.
Similarly, He Chuntao was also very nervous. She was already panicking, but this situation made her tremble even more.
The dwarf was nervous because he felt that there was someone nearby, and that person was most likely waiting outside the secret door on the ancient city wall.
Wait for the secret door to open and go out by yourself.
He Chuntao was nervous because she looked back just now...
She saw a big boy with a gentle appearance and gold-rimmed glasses on his face, standing behind the dwarf, making a "shh" gesture to her with the same movement as the dwarf's hand.
At this moment, the dwarf was wary of the stranger who was most likely to exist outside the wall.
He had no idea that danger might be behind him.
Gradually, the dwarf seemed to have discovered something. His eyes began to shift from the outside of the secret door of the ancient city wall in front to the inside, and then slowly looked around him, surrounding...
His eyes finally fell on He Chuntao.
A hoarse and harsh, but deliberately suppressed voice sounded: "The smell on you is wrong!"
"I, I, I—"
He Chuntao was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was speechless!
At this time, Yang Ning's cold voice sounded close to the dwarf's ear: "I also think that you smell wrong."
Suddenly hearing the sound coming from behind him, the dwarf jumped more than one meter high as if he was electrocuted!
Comparable to twice his height!
When the dwarf turned around, he saw Yang Ning's gentle face with a peaceful smile!
Yang Ning said with a smile: "I smell the smell of death on you. Today, either you take me to see the dead at the bottom of the lake, or..."
Comparing the height of the dwarf by one and a half meters, Yang Ning raised the corners of his mouth, and something else gradually appeared in his smile——
"Or, I will take you to see the dead people at the bottom of the lake, the kind that are more than half a meter high!"
...
