In this world full of cemeteries, it is very difficult to find an ancient tomb. After all, once found, it will be a major discovery in human history.
Xu Qian thought he lived in a modern world, and even if he had seen ghosts, that kind of power could eventually be controlled by humans. However, when he and Ye Kaixuan were taken by Tushan Ling to an ancient tomb, he almost thought he had come to another era.
Piled up jewels, torn cloth, heavy sarcophagus, continuous murals, and a cold breath constantly poured into the body.
Tushan pushed open the sarcophagus casually. Inside lay a dried-up corpse. He looked at Xu Qian, who was rubbing his arms, and said, "Lie down in there."
Xu Qian looked inside. Even though the corpse was wrapped in silk, satin, and various jades, indicating that its owner had been wealthy, it was still a corpse. "Will he come back to life if I go in?"
"That depends on your perseverance. Are you really willing to die for each other or are you just talking? Humans are the most cunning creatures and are the best at deceiving foxes." Tushan looked at him and said, "Go in, or I'll throw you both in now."
Xu Qian took a deep breath, shook off Ye Kaixuan's hand and said, "I understand."
Xu Qian lay down in it, and Tushan Ling closed the coffin lid, plunging the interior into darkness. Ye Kaixuan looked at Tushan Ling with complicated eyes, his fingers clenched tightly. A life for a life is indeed the right way, but when it comes to the one he loves, he really can't help but hate this trick of fate: "What should I do?"
Tushan took out a bundle of ropes from among the countless treasures. The ropes were pure white, without any trace of being tainted by time. He passed the ropes through the ring at the top of the tomb, tied one end to the side of the coffin, and tied a loop on the other end, which was just enough for a person's head to pass through.
A box was placed under the rope. Tu Shanlu tied Ye Kaixuan's hands and gestured for him to stand on the box. He said, "Put your head through it. That's right. If you fall, the coffin lid will lift up and Xu Qian can breathe. If you don't fall, he will die. As long as one of you dies, I will let the other go. The one in the coffin, do you hear me?"
A muffled voice came from inside: "I know..."
The sound was hollow and dull, and there was a sense of deathly silence in the tomb.
Ye Kaixuan's head passed through the rope. Lifting such a heavy coffin with his head was almost like committing suicide, but he still tried to pull it down. Even though his face turned pale, he did not let go.
The heavy coffin was lifted a little, and Xu Qian's voice came out: "Ye Kaixuan, don't do that!"
Ye Kaixuan's face was filled with pain, and he had no way of answering him.
Tushan sat aside, stroking his tail while watching the scene, feeling somewhat pleased.
The sight of humans being punished really made the fox happy. Really happy...
Time passed minute by minute. Even though Ye Kaixuan tried hard to pull the coffin lid, the air that entered through such a small gap was not enough for an adult to breathe and survive. He tried hard to pull it, and even tried to kick the box under his feet, but he didn't know what was inside it, and no matter how hard he kicked it, it didn't move at all.
He closed his eyes, made up his mind, and fell down desperately. People cannot really strangle themselves because they have self-protection mechanisms. When the body reaches the limit, the body will choose to stop. When his feet slipped from the box and his body really fell, Xu Qian, who felt his breathing rapid in the coffin, touched a hairpin and stabbed it into his chest with his eyes closed.
The rope broke with a sound, and the coffin was blown away by a force. The moment Xu Qian breathed smoothly, his hands lost strength and he felt dizzy and passed out. Ye Kaixuan fell to the ground, also losing strength and losing consciousness with his eyes closed.
In a tomb, three people lay. Tushan Li pursed her lips as she looked at the person lying in the coffin. She reached out and took off the jade pendant from his neck. She looked at the fox shape and tightened her fingers: "How boring..."
It's like the fox is bullying people.
A thousand years seems so long, yet so short. It’s so long that one wishes one would die, yet so short that it seems like just a dream.
The human who sealed him back then was like the mummy in this coffin, deader than dead. This human knew nothing during the twenty years he lived.
In the end, he just couldn't do it. Once he killed someone, he would be no different from a bad fox, and even Lin Su would hate him.
When Xu Qian opened his eyes, he didn't expect that he was still alive. He tilted his head, and when he saw the dry face, he sat up with a somersault. The first thing he saw was Ye Kaixuan's body lying on the ground.
One is alive, the other is dead. He is alive, so Ye Kaixuan is dead?!
Xu Qian jumped out of the coffin and almost crawled to Ye Kaixuan's side. He picked him up and shook him, "Ye Kaixuan, Ye Kaixuan, wake up, don't die! Why are you so stupid! It's obviously me who should die, just let me die! Please, please don't die! "
"You're so noisy." Tushan Lu said as he looked at the jade pendant.
Xu Qian raised her eyes to look at him, tears already streaming down her face. "Why don't you let me die? Just kill me. I owe you. Can you kill me and save him?"
"I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life." Tushan glanced at him, "And who said he was dead? You held me so tightly, if he really died, it's not my fault."
Xu Qian was a little stunned, but the defeated man in his arms coughed twice and took a deep breath to regain his breath: "Don't, don't cry..."
"Are you okay?" Xu Qian's tears were still falling. "Are you really okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay." Ye Kaixuan took a few deep breaths and tried to get up, saying, "Help me untie the rope."
"Okay, okay." Xu Qian wiped her tears frantically and helped him untie the rope behind him.
The experience of life and death only deepened the bond between the two. Ye Kaixuan sat up and wiped his tears, then looked at Tushan who was sitting beside him and said, "You won't kill us?"
"You've already died once." Tushan looked at Xu Qian and said, "How does it feel to be locked up in that dark place?"
Next to him was a rotting corpse, cold and dark. Breathing gradually became difficult, his hands and feet felt weak, and he couldn't breathe. There was really no one to ask for help. If he hadn't been thinking about Ye Kaixuan, Xu Qian felt that he might collapse, just like the Diba last time, making people despair.
"I'm sorry." Xu Qian looked at him and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping you locked up in there for so long."
Tushan looked at him straight, and after a while asked, "Where did you get this jade pendant?"
