Chapter 45: Mechanical Stone Statue



It circulates over and over again several times, and from a distance it looks like fairies dancing.

I was stunned by what I saw. The way this brothel owner stole the painting was so fucking amazing.

In a short while, the madam had peeled off the entire mural and was holding it in her hands. I hurriedly got up from the ground, my face full of admiration and respect, but just as I was about to go up and flatter her, something shocking happened.

The stone statues lining the walls suddenly began to move with a creaking sound. Their dimly lit eyes suddenly blazed with a dazzling, dark green light, a breathtaking sight. Before we could react, the entrance we had just entered suddenly slammed shut with a loud rumble.

At the same time, two rows of stone statues rushed towards us step by step with fierce footsteps. They looked so ferocious, as if they were going to crush us here.

It turns out that it’s not that easy to steal the murals, otherwise it would never be our turn!

Frustrated, I hurried over to the brothel owner, took out the golden talisman, and prepared to start. But Su Xiaoniu told me, "These are common stone statues with mechanical mechanisms found in tombs. The golden talismans you use to exorcise ghosts won't work on them."

I was stunned. What should I do? Wait for death?

Su Xiaoniu thought for a moment and said, "It's not that serious. Use a copper purse to fill a piece of yellow paper, light it, and put it into the eyes of the stone statues. The statues will naturally become immobile."

I glanced at the statues—there were at least twenty of them. They wanted me to throw coins into their eyes one by one? Shit, would they crush me to death?

While I was hesitating, the brothel owner bit the knife between her lips, took out a thick rope from her waist with both hands, and ran quickly behind the stone statues. Before the stone statues could react, she had already tied a knot with the rope at their feet. Then she dragged the rope to the feet of another stone statue, circled it twice, and then ran to the feet of the third stone statue, and repeated this process over and over again.

As I was watching, my eyes suddenly lit up. Damn, this brothel owner is really no pushover. She can make these stone statues spin around with just a rope. As long as she can tie these stone statues into a ball, I can easily handle the next thing.

I said to the madam, "Madam, come on! Tie them up and leave the rest to me!"

The brothel owner bent over and glanced at me. Perhaps because she had a knife between her lips, she said nothing and turned around to continue walking around the statue.

I wasn't idle either. I found a safe spot and pulled out a small bag of copper coins, a stack of yellow paper, and a lighter from my backpack. First, I wrapped the yellow paper around the copper coins, about twenty in total. Then, I put some of the copper coins wrapped in yellow paper in my pocket, held the rest in my left hand, and held the lighter in my right, ready to light a fire at any time.

When I was wrapping the copper coins, the madam had almost finished wrapping the stone statues. She used a long, strong and thick rope in her hands with great skill. Judging from the appearance, it should be made of genuine leather. I don't know where she got it from.

Soon, all the stone statues were tied up with the brothel owner's leather ropes. I watched as the brothel owner, holding the leather ropes in her hand, swaggered out from among the stone statues. Then, with a swift tug, more than 20 stone statues behind her were pulled in from all directions with a loud bang, and all were tied together in one place. I was mesmerized by her domineering style...

Su Xiaoniu also said to me in amazement: "This girl is very agile and strong, and she is also very good at wielding a whip. Not bad... Hey, what are you still standing there for? Go up and put the copper coins in the eyes of these stone statues!"

I came to my senses and rushed over, lighting the yellow paper on a copper coin and stuffing it into the stone statue's eyeball. These stone statues were bound by the brothel owner's leather rope and could not move at all. I easily stuffed all the copper coins into the stone statue's eyeballs.

The effect was immediate. After I stuffed the copper coins into these stone statues, the eyes that had just been bright dimmed in an instant, until finally, with a puff, they all went out.

The light inside the tomb dimmed. The madam turned on her flashlight and shone it on the stone statues. She found that they were completely paralyzed. She then retracted the leather rope and looked at me with interest, as if she wanted to learn something from me.
