piecing together the soul

Chapter 163 Chapter 93

"It's okay. It should just be a side issue."

Master Xu didn't care so much, he pulled me forward as soon as he stopped me: "How dare you stop? Hurry up!"

Behind the place where I was standing just now, there was a "bang" sound, and all the surrounding walls and the stones on the top fell to the middle.If I were still there, I'm afraid it would have been smashed to pieces.

It's too late to be afraid.

After his tugging, a half-meter-high stone platform suddenly appeared in front of me. Mr. Xu jumped up first. I didn't have time to condemn him for his selfishness when he had the opportunity to run first. I immediately followed up with all my hands and feet. .The wound on the palm of the right hand was covered with stones and dust, and it hurt for a while.But in order to save a life, there is no time to take care of these.

The front is only three to five meters, and there is another half-meter-high stone platform.We went up to three or four such stone platforms, and I gradually realized that the roar was farther away from us.

Master Xu stood still, panting for breath and asked me, "Are you all right? Let's take a rest."

I was out of breath and couldn't talk to him.

Master Xu continued: "I reckon this mausoleum was designed like this from the beginning. There is a central mechanism that moves the whole body. Fortunately, here is a slope. Even if the other side collapses, it will take a while to affect this side. Cheng Zu This is to see the grave for yourself. If someone dares to disturb him, even if he can't beat him, he will die with them. This old gun is too selfish. Let's go."

"Let's go now?"

"Let's go! Let's put safety first, so don't fall short and die here."

What Master Xu said was reasonable, and he didn't say anything while he was still injured. I was just out of breath and I have no right to shout tired and hurt.

"Where are we going?" Although we continued to walk, our pace slowed down significantly, so I had no time to ask.

Master Xu said: "Naturally, I will go out from the back road left by those skilled craftsmen. You don't know this, do you?"

"Why don't I know?" Mausoleums are generally designed to be sealed, so craftsmen are usually locked inside when they complete the project.The craftsmen were not stupid, so they secretly left a way out for themselves during the construction process.

"We'll just go that way."

"But how do you know it's here?" I asked.

"Although Chengzu's achievements are impressive, his mausoleum is actually not too big. Judging from the location, this side can extend into the mountains. You can figure it out with a little use of your brain. The craftsmen escaped, You can't escape to a place where there are a lot of people, right? It must be in a deserted direction that is easy to deceive people's eyes."

There is some truth to that.

"But the other side can also extend into the mountains." I questioned.

Master Xu hesitated for a moment, and said: "I came in a little earlier than you. After I came in, I did see other ghosts in this direction. I thought that some people who hadn't escaped in time died here, so I deduced that There is a way..."

"Inference?" I also hesitated, "You mean, fleeing in this direction is purely based on guesswork?"

"Well, I'm not guessing blindly, I'm guessing with a basis."

"You..." This is the end of the matter, and I don't bother to talk about him.

Looking back at the ruins of the road, even if you make a mistake, you can't change it.

After walking on the flat ground for a few minutes, steps suddenly appeared in front of us.Different from the big half-meter-high stone steps before, this time it was a very normal small stone step. Master Xu took a photo of the top and saw a stone door.Next to the stone gate is a stone "combined lock".

"I'm probably on the right track." Master Xu was very excited, and so was I.

However, I still have some doubts.Seeing him excitedly facing the password of the "combination lock", I carefully looked around.After all, Master Xu said that he saw other ghosts here, but we came all the way just now, but we didn't see half of them.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "Kattah", which should be the opening of the lock. I have never felt that the sound of unlocking is so pleasant.The three of us looked at each other and smiled, but in an instant, we all began to hesitate and dared not open the door.

"You also have that strange feeling, don't you?" Brother Xiu asked.

"Yes." Master Xu said.

I also wholeheartedly agree: "A kind of, chilling, resentment..."

"What's on the other side of the door? Why is there so much resentment..." Brother Xiu said, "It wasn't so strong just now beside Chengzu's Dragon Soul..."

The light was very dim, but it was obvious that Master Xu's face had changed.I seem to have guessed something, maybe his guess coincides with mine.

"Master Xu, have you guessed it too?" I asked.

He nodded, and the two of us said in unison in tacit understanding: "The burial pit."

"It's terrible. We didn't find a way to escape, but we went to the burial pit. The things on our body couldn't deal with the dense resentment... There is no way, there is no way, there is no way..." Master Xu complained to himself, " I should have thought about it, Cheng Zu was so self-respecting, so many people were buried, and many people died here, how could I judge that those two souls were craftsmen. It's really stupid, stupid, stupid! "

I didn't dare to speak, but silently raised my hand to lock the lock that I had just unlocked, in case our heads were too hot to open the door.

Now there is no way out and no way out. Although there is no danger for the time being, it won't last long.

Are you really going to die here?
Master Xu and I were already slumped on the stone steps, Brother Xiu also fell silent, and the three of us looked at each other.

I broke the silence and said: "You shouldn't let me pretend to be dead, you should let Chengzu send you out, and I may not be able to deal with him myself."

Master Xu said: "You shouldn't just jump down on your own, you should go back with Xiuying first, and I may not be trapped here myself."

"You let me leave you alone?"

"Then you let me leave you alone?"

"It's still my fault." Said Brother Xiu, who didn't talk much all the way, "It wasn't for me, and you wouldn't put yourself in danger. Every time you narrowly escaped death... I thought God let me go, I thought I was really saved this time, so I never tried to persuade you again. Unexpectedly... at the last moment, I would still... implicate you..."

He has been talking with his head down, but at this moment I couldn't help it, so I reached out and lifted his chin, forcing him to look up at me, and then at Master Xu.

"You're poking my heart and hitting him in the face by saying that..."

Before I could finish my sentence, suddenly there was a "click" on my head, and a huge stone fell down!
