The noise was quite loud and soon alarmed Lu Zhu, who was practicing in the inner room, to come out and watch.
After a night, his anger had subsided a lot, but his face was still very sour. Seeing Xiang Sheng rummaging around for something, he didn't want to ask, but he couldn't help but feel curious and hummed, "What are you looking for?"
Xiang Sheng looked up and said, "A mechanism."
"A mechanism? What kind of mechanism could there be in a shabby little earthen building like this?"
Lu Zhu grumbled in disgust and started searching again.
After searching for most of the day, the two found nothing.
Xiang Sheng stood in the middle of the room, his expression still calm, but there was a lingering hint of irritation between his brows.
This was the first time Lu Zhu saw Xiang Sheng with such an expression, and his heart tightened. He racked his brains, repeatedly recalling what else in the room was worth noting.
But it seemed that he had looked in all the places he cared about.
No, there's one more!
Lu Zhu suddenly rushed into the inner room, and after a while, he called out in surprise: "Sister Chen, come and see!"
Xiang Sheng's eyes fixed, and he immediately followed in, and saw Lu Zhu kneeling beside the oil lamp by the bed, pointing excitedly at the lamp holder: "Sister, most of the rooms I passed by were equipped with spirit stone lamps, and only this room has an oil lamp.
At the time, I thought every bit of spiritual stone I could save was a lot. Now, looking back, the arrangement of the oil lamps themselves was quite odd, and the oil stains on the oil lamp holders in the inner room were much thinner than those outside. So I came in and wiped them, and I didn't expect there was something really odd going on!
Xiang Sheng took a closer look and indeed saw a strange pattern engraved on the bottom of the lamp holder. She immediately reached out and pressed the pattern and gently turned the lamp holder.
The next moment, the dust on the ground beside the bed shook, revealing an entrance. It was pitch black inside and could not be seen clearly, but a faint smell of decay wafted out.
Lu Zhu's expression changed slightly, "This tastes a bit like..."
"Shhh."
Xiang Sheng put his index finger to his lips, and Lu Zhu immediately kept silent. He watched Xiang Sheng take out a night pearl from his storage ring and throw it into his mouth.
The white light flowed down along the entrance, illuminating everything around it, and finally fell into a thick pile of bones. The beads rolled a few times and stopped moving.
Lu Zhu was horrified and grabbed Xiang Sheng's arm tightly. His feet seemed to have taken root and he was too frightened to move.
Xiang Sheng took a deep breath, and an indescribable chill surged from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body.
Just a quick glance, she saw no less than a hundred corpses.
Who would have thought that there would be a corpse pit in this small earthen building.
After a brief silence, Xiang Sheng took out another night pearl from the ring and threw it down.
This time, I can see it more clearly.
Although there are only piles of bones left in the corpse pit and it has been many years, the arrangement of the bones can still reveal how the person died.
After losing four night-shining pearls in a row, Xiang Sheng suddenly said, "Something's not right."
Lu Zhu was so frightened that he trembled, his voice shaking, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go down and take a look. You stay up there."
Lu Zhu's scalp tingled, "Go down?!"
Xiang Sheng tilted his head, his tone slightly strange: "Could it be that you still want to be with me?"
Lu Zhu immediately shook his head vigorously.
Xiang Sheng smiled, took a step forward without hesitation, and fell straight into the entrance.
Lu Zhu squatted nervously at the side of the entrance, feeling that this sister was too brave. Wasn't she afraid that something under the corpse pit would take her life in an instant?
After a short fall, Xiang Sheng took a deep breath and landed lightly on the pile of bones. He picked up the dropped night pearl and looked around.
When she looked at it just now, she found that the arrangement of these bones was very strange, as if they were thrown in neatly while standing.
Now looking below, Xiang Sheng saw more details.
She took two steps, squatted down, picked up a rotten storage ring, and squeezed it lightly, and it turned into smoke and dust.
At this moment, her guess was confirmed.
This was not a corpse pit, but as she had thought before, a refuge.
However, no one knew what kind of incident had happened in Xuanwang City that year, which caused all the monks who had taken refuge there to die in an instant, which was why the corpses were packed upright and neatly arranged.
After coming to this conclusion, Xiang Sheng was about to go forward when he suddenly had an idea. He grabbed the two skeletons and jumped out.
Lu Zhu was so frightened that she took several steps back. "Sister, what are you doing? The person is dead. We shouldn't disrespect the body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhu saw Xiang Sheng jump down again.
