The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 131 [131] Strange Lama

Liu Xianglian smiled and said:
"These monks have lived in the mountains for a long time and have no contact with the outside world all year round. Naturally, their speech and behavior will be a little weird."

Bao Yong reminded softly: "Be careful, there is something wrong with that lama."

Jia Baoyu asked, "Bao Yong, did you find anything?"

Bao Yong shook his head slightly and said:
"I haven't found it yet, but I just feel that the lama is not like a normal person."

Liu Xianglian waved her hands and said:
"Let's not worry about it, anyway, we only stay here for one night, and we will leave tomorrow morning."

Seeing no one around, Jia Baoyu said in a low voice:

"Let's take the time to get a good night's sleep first, so that we can get enough energy, and get up at 12:30 in the middle of the night to dig treasures."

When they entered the guest room, they found that there was no electricity.

All the windows in the front main hall were also dark.

"Such a big temple has a power outage." Jia Baoyu complained.

Liu Xianglian comforted: "This is an almost deserted temple. It's normal without electricity. Go to sleep."

After sleeping until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Jia Baoyu woke up from urinating and got up to go to the bathroom.

He yawned and drowsily walked across the backyard to pee in the diagonally opposite hut.

On the way back, he glanced at the guest room to the west from the corner of his eye, but suddenly his sleepy eyes widened.

Through the broken glass window, he discovered that there was a coffin on the bed in the guest room!
It was a fiery red coffin, which looked particularly creepy under the dim yellow moonlight.

After being startled, Jia Baoyu rushed back to the guest room on the east side and woke up Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong.

"Liu Xianglian, Bao Yong, I saw a coffin in the west guest room. I wonder if there is any treasure in it?"

Jia Baoyu was spitting all over the place excitedly, his eyes were shining brightly.

Liu Xianglian and Bao Yong looked at each other and said with a smile:

"Fatty is really a lucky general. I am worried about how to find the entrance to the underground treasure. Let's go and see this coffin first."

Bao Yong nodded expressionlessly.

The three of them tiptoed out the door with engineering shovels, crowbars and other tools, and stopped at the door of the west guest room.

"I checked just now, and there was no one inside." Jia Baoyu whispered as thinly as a mosquito.

Liu Xianglian took out a wire, stirred it a few times into the keyhole, and opened the door easily.

The three slipped into the house lightly and closed the door behind them.

The bright red coffin was quietly placed on the bed, covered with a layer of dim moonlight.

Jia Baoyu complained, sucking his teeth, "Why is this room so gloomy, so creepy?"

Liu Xianglian comforted: "You are psychological, don't be afraid, we haven't seen any battles before?"

Jia Baoyu nodded, carefully inserted the crowbar into the crack of the coffin, and pried it violently.

There was a crisp "creak".

The coffin lid was easily pried off.

The three of them were slightly taken aback. It turned out that the coffin had not been nailed yet.

Jia Baoyu pushed open the coffin lid.

"Huh? Why is there an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl lying inside? She looks pretty." Jia Baoyu murmured in shock.

Just when Liu Xianglian wanted to reach out to touch the corpse, suddenly, the girl opened her eyes!
"oops!"

Liu Xianglian screamed, and jumped back like a cat whose hair has exploded.

The next moment, the girl sat up straight.

In the blink of an eye, Bao Yong pulled out the ancient black gold knife behind his back and slashed horizontally.

The girl shrank her neck back and exclaimed, "Don't kill me!"

The sharp tip of the knife brushed across the girl's throat, within two millimeters, it would cut her skin.

Panting heavily, Jia Baoyu complained, "Damn it, I was shocked, so you are a human being, I thought you were a fake corpse."

The girl blinked her red phoenix eyes, and said resentfully:

"I still want to ask you, I have been sleeping in the coffin just now, why did you lift the lid of my coffin?"

The three of them looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

Liu Xianglian smiled sheepishly and said, "We are curious why there is a coffin in this room, so we want to open it and have a look."

Before the girl could respond, Jia Baoyu changed the topic with a guilty conscience:
"Little sister, why do you sleep in a coffin? What kind of weird habit is this?"

The girl rolled her eyes: "This is my personal privacy, can you control it?"

"Da da da"

Outside the window, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.

It sounded stiff and heavy, like wooden stakes hitting the floor.

The girl shuddered, her pretty face turned pale, and urged Liu Xianglian and the other three:

"Hurry up and find a place to hide, they are coming!"

"Who are they?" Just as Liu Xianglian wanted to ask clearly, the girl had already laid back in the coffin and put the coffin lid back on.

The footsteps outside the window became louder and louder, and it seemed that several people were walking towards the backyard.

But these footsteps were too heavy, like wooden stakes poking into the floor, it didn't seem like a person could step on it.

The cold wind engulfed the snow particles, smashing them messily on the glass, crackling, adding a bit of restlessness to the atmosphere that was already on the verge of suffocation.

"It seems that the person who came was not a human being," Jia Baoyu murmured in a low voice.

"Hush!" Bao Yong made a silent gesture, and put the black gold ancient knife across his chest, in a guarded posture.

Under the dim moonlight, a figure came out from the back door of the main hall.

He was wearing a dark red cassock, and his strides were large, but his walking posture was very strange.

The two legs hardly bend, like two tree stumps, poking the ground straight.

Moreover, each swing of his two arms is exactly the same, a bit like a puppet in a shadow play.

Due to the distance, his face could not be seen clearly, but his two eyes were very bright, shining with a gloomy white light.

When he got to the middle of the yard, he suddenly lay down stiffly, put his hands on the ground, looked around with his neck stuck up, and flapped his nose like a wolf dog, as if he wanted to smell something.

"click, click, click"

Accompanied by the sound of joint friction, his neck twisted stiffly, and his eyes finally fell on the room where Liu Xianglian and the others were.

The eyes are full of tyranny, cruelty and hunger, like a beast that has been hungry for a long time.

"Da da da"

With heavy steps, he approached the room step by step with all four limbs.

Liu Xianglian's heart was beating wildly, and she reached out tremblingly to the right side of the belt, where a dogleg knife with a leather sheath hung.

Jia Baoyu also clenched his engineering shovel, bowed his waist and stared out of the window, not even daring to breathe.

Bao Yong, standing between the two, squinted his eyes slightly, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand, ready to draw the knife at any time.

When the strange person got closer and closer, Liu Xianglian finally saw the other person's face clearly:
His skin was an eerie slate-gray, his cheeks were thin, and his eyes were sunken deep below the browbones.

The two eyeballs are white and white, but there are no pupils, as if he is blind.

His nostrils kept flapping, as if he was always smelling the air.

When there were still three or four meters away from the door, the strange man suddenly kicked his hind legs, jumped, and jumped to the bottom of the wall.

Because there was a wall across, the strange person at this time was right in the blind spot of Liu Xianglian and the other three.
