The current situation was not favorable to her, and it was not wise to confront him head-on. Since the man did not seem to have any intention of touching her for the time being, it would be better for her to leave first and talk about it later.
Seeing that Lin Wu didn't say anything, the man took it as a consent and turned to walk towards the ice coffin.
After taking only two steps, his arm was suddenly grabbed.
The man stopped immediately, tilted his head and lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on Lin Wu's hand holding his.
Then he moved slowly upwards, staring at Lin Wu, his eyes silently questioning.
Lin Wu himself was a little annoyed.
She didn't know why she just grabbed the other person, maybe because... she really didn't sense any hostility from the other person?
"You," Lin Wu calmed down and looked at the man, "Who are you?"
It looked like the man was going out with her. She couldn't really bring someone she didn't know around her. What if he got tricked? She had to ask the right questions.
The man spoke after a while.
"Mochuan."
"……What?"
"My name, Master."
He said.
Lin Wu was slightly startled, thinking that the name was a bit mysterious, just like him.
She let go of his hand and said, "I'm asking who you are."
What's the importance of a name? The key is who he is and why he is here.
Oh, by the way, you can ask him where this place is, what the magic outside is about, and what happened to those missing archaeologists.
"Who is it..." Mo Chuan murmured a few words, but Lin Wu didn't hear clearly. He saw him turn around and walk towards the ice coffin, pick up the robe inside and put it on, and said at the same time.
"I am nothing, just an ordinary person who travels around and has no fixed place to live."
"?"
Can she believe this?
Lin Wu saw that the other party didn't want to talk, so he turned to test: "You mentioned the thirty-six villages in Lingnan, what is your relationship with them?"
Lin Wu thought that the other party would most likely not answer, but surprisingly, the other party turned around and looked at her and actually answered her.
"I passed through Lingnan in the past and accidentally saved the ancestors of the Thirty-Six Villages. I was indebted to them. To repay them, they left a place for me to live in Lingnan. It was pretty good and I could live there. I stayed there and would go out from time to time, but the people of the Thirty-Six Villages didn't know where I was."
Lin Wu automatically ignored the fact that he kept calling her "Master".
Anyway, he won't change even if I tell him.
After listening to Mo Chuan's words, she looked at the empty stone room and asked incomprehensibly: "You don't live... here?"
This is not bad? ? "..." Mo Chuan seemed a little speechless, looking at Lin Wu as if he was a fool, and said: "Although the master does not pay attention to material desires, it is not to this extent. This place is just a place suitable for retreat and sleep when the master was injured in the past. It is not a residence."
Here it comes!
Lin Wu perked up and immediately asked, "What is this place? Why do people disappear when they come in?"
"…What disappeared? Who came in?"
Mochuan paused as he was tying his belt and looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu hesitated for half a second, then said, "Like I said, I'm here to look for someone. It was rumored that there was a tomb group underground nearby, so an archaeological team came to search for it, but they disappeared without a trace. The few people who survived also lost their memories and didn't remember what happened. My friend was also bewitched. So I came to look for them to find out what happened."
After hearing this, Mo Chuan shook his head and said calmly, "There is no such tomb group as you said. Since I fell asleep, you are the only one who has come here."
"? Are you sure?"
Lin Wu suspected that he was hiding something from her.
Mochuan straightened his collar, turned around and walked back to Lin Wu.
Being too close, Lin Wu felt insecure and immediately said, "Stay away from me! Just talk from a distance!"
Mo Chuan paused and followed Lin Wu's instructions to step back and keep some distance.
Then he asked, "How did you get in?"
Mo Chuan listened quietly, and waited until she finished speaking before saying, "First, this is the remains of the ancestors of the Thirty-Six Villages. There are only secret passages and stone chambers, but no tombs as you said. I have been here for decades, and I have not found any tombs that are so secret that I don't know about them."
"Second, this place is completely independent and closed. The entrance is formed by a mysterious magic array. You must trigger the mysterious magic to unlock it before the entrance will appear. There is no other way. When you said it just now, I felt the restrictions left by Xia Shen before he fell asleep. Only you opened it, no one else. How did those people you mentioned come in if they didn't open the entrance mysterious magic?"
Lin Wu had a reason: "I didn't know there was a mysterious technique here. It suddenly appeared inexplicably, which shows that it can be triggered actively without anyone doing anything. Then those people may also come in..."
Mo Chuan interrupted Lin Wu and said, "That is the restriction left by the master. Only the master can break it... Maybe you and the master are destined to be together, and you are also special, so your blood can trigger it. No one else can do it."
"Blood……"
Lin Wu looked down at his hands.
Mo Chuan nodded: "It was your blood that opened it by accident. If it was someone else, it would be impossible."
"So your friend didn't enter here, but went somewhere else." He concluded, "Then there must be the tombs you mentioned nearby, or some other space. In short, it's not where I am. In addition, I haven't noticed it, so this tomb should be not simple and dangerous. It's not suitable for you to go there."
Lin Wu looked up at Mo Chuan, thinking how credible his words were.
"What? You don't believe in me as your master?"
Mochuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lin Wu said: "If this is really not what you have, then what is the thing I found in the river outside? I didn't find anything else at the time, and those people from the archaeological team did disappear by the river. If it wasn't because of that thing that could get in here, what else could it be?"
"Are you sure that the only abnormality nearby is the restriction left by my master?" Mochuan said.
"I……"
Lin Wu was silent.
She wasn't done looking.
Could it be that the appearance of that thing was really just a coincidence, and what she really needed to find was something else? Lin Wu was not giving up, and said, "I want to see it with my own eyes."
She would only believe it after she confirmed with her own eyes that there was indeed no other passage here and that it was indeed sealed and independent.
Mo Chuan: “…”
Why is this little girl so stubborn? She won't turn back until she hits the wall? Mo Chuan opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Lin Wudi's calculating eyes, he swallowed his words and compromised: "Master will help you solve the illusion here. Go and walk around by yourself, and come back when you are done. If you get lost, stay where you are and don't walk around. In half an hour, Master will find you..."
After a pause, he changed his words: "Forget it, I will accompany you..."
"don't want!"
Lin Wu took a big step towards the door and refused.
Mochuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Wu.
Lin Wu doesn't trust Mo Chuan and feels uneasy staying with him.
Besides, since she could get in, she could always find a way out. Then she could either find a way out or secretly find a way out. Then she wouldn't have to see Mo Chuan again, and she wouldn't have to worry about what he did.
"I can go by myself. I won't be scared. I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Lin Wu moved towards the door.
Mo Chuan looked at Lin Wu meaningfully and said, "It's up to you."
Lin Wu immediately took off his robe and tried to return it to him.
"If you want to get sick, or don't mind your clothes being in disarray, you can return them to your master." Mo Chuan said slowly.
"..." Lin Wu looked at herself with a dark face. Half of her body was chilly because her clothes were torn. This stone chamber was too cold and she was indeed shivering from the cold.
But isn't Mo Chuan the culprit? !
If he hadn't torn her clothes to see her tattoo, she wouldn't be as embarrassed as she is now!
Yes, it was the other person’s fault, so it was reasonable for her to ask for a piece of clothing from him.
Lin Wu immediately wrapped himself up tightly with a righteous look, glared at Mo Chuan fiercely, and turned away.
Mochuan folded his arms and looked at Lin Wu's back.
Until the person disappeared from his sight, he pulled the corners of his mouth in an ambiguous way and murmured in a low voice: "Silly, don't you know that your mind is all on your face..."
