Chapter 54 The Belief in Ghosts and Gods 7
Before he even entered the room, a soft female voice rang in his ears.
“You can go with him.”
The voice lingered in his ears, and he could feel the chilling, eerie aura that made him shiver.
However, having received a satisfactory reply, Zheng Laoqi was still content. A smile appeared on his face as he turned and went to Zhang Laosan's room.
After discussing with Zhang Laosan about going down to the tomb together that night, and mentioning that an elder from their side might be going with them, Zheng Laoqi gave Zhang Biao a heads-up before going back to pack his things.
The Zhang family was puzzled. This time, only Zheng Laoqi and his brothers came. Were there any other people from the Zheng family?
Then I thought about how they booked four rooms, one of which seemed to be empty and only used for meals (they would bring food to Luo Shu each time), which was also very strange.
However, they are now in the same boat. The Zhang family and the Zheng family have a good personal relationship, and for the time being, the Zheng family can still be trusted.
Moreover, the Zhang family was going down into the tomb to find someone, and they weren't competing with them for anything. There was no conflict of interest between the two families, so they felt at ease.
After 8 p.m., there are no entertainment venues in this area. The streetlights are turned off early and people go to sleep. Only one or two hotels and barbecue restaurants are still open.
The Zhang family, carrying their belongings, waited outside for the Zheng family. The night was deep, and their figures were indistinct in the darkness, with only a few orange-red cigarettes dangling from their lips burning silently in the night.
Zheng Laoqi and the others arrived a little late, mainly because they were waiting for Luo Shu to "eat" dinner, which took a while.
By the time they met up with the Zhang family, most of the smoke had burned out. Zhang Laosan and the others didn't say anything, just exchanged a glance, and led the Zheng family to the tomb.
Zhang Biao was somewhat puzzled. Zheng Laoqi had said he was bringing an elder along, but he hadn't seen him. Besides, it was quite cold that night; it felt chilly.
Luo Shu was surrounded by a chilling aura. She had set up a small sofa for herself and nestled into it, feeling lazy and comfortable. The sofa, carrying her, floated behind the group, following at a leisurely pace.
When they arrived at the pit, there were many people guarding it, with flashlights on. However, the people guarding it looked pale and unwell, as if they had suffered a great shock.
When the leader saw Zhang Laosan and Zheng Laoqi, he came up to them. They were all in the same line of work, so they knew each other, if not intimately.
The man's face was filled with sorrow, and he said in a pained voice, "Gentlemen, this pit is cursed. None of the people who went in yesterday have come out today. I've sent many people in to search for them, but they haven't come out either. It's really strange."
He lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling, and took a deep drag before saying, "No one here dares to go down. If you go down and bring the person out, I'll give you a 3% discount!"
This is quite a big deal. Although the tomb below is large, with about 20 people going in, it's bound to happen that we ran into each other.
Moreover, those who went in weren't ordinary people; they were all experts. They were all trained practitioners with some skills. The shortest time they had been in the business was five years, and they all failed there. He no longer needs to do this.
Let's call the police tomorrow and then go to jail to shovel dirt.
Zhang Laosan and Zheng Laoqi exchanged a glance. This was a tough opponent, but they had no choice but to go down.
The two men carried their equipment and two large flashlights, and cautiously descended into the tomb.
The tomb chamber was no different from the others, except that the patterns on the stone walls were denser and more intricate, making them difficult to see clearly. Shining a flashlight on them made my eyes feel dizzy.
Luo Shu didn't have these concerns. She gently touched the patterns on the stone slab with her hand, and a smile appeared on her lips, both gorgeous and eerie.
These patterns are for funerary sacrifices.
The group cautiously moved forward. Next to the main burial chamber were some other burial chambers, which were used to store funerary objects. They saw many porcelain fragments and broken clay figurines lying haphazardly on the ground, giving them a somewhat indescribable feeling.
We carefully examined each tomb chamber, but so far we haven't found a single living person. They couldn't all be in the main tomb chamber, could they?
The main burial chamber was right in front of them. There were still traces of burnt candles in the southeast corner. The burial chamber door was open, and it was pitch black inside. Zheng Laoqi shone his flashlight inside, but it was completely dark. The light from the flashlight shone on the nearest stone wall, which looked no different from the outside.
Several people, each holding a weapon, moved slowly and cautiously towards the main burial chamber, back to back.
The moment they entered the main burial chamber, the flashlights suddenly went out. The group panicked for a moment, but they were all experienced and had encountered this situation before.
They quickly calmed down, and then they heard a loud crash as the main tomb door slammed shut, sealing the inner chamber.
The Zhang family members panicked. Some tomb chambers had doors like jacks, allowing only entry and no exit. If this one was like that, they would have a hard time getting out.
Zheng Laoqi and his companions remained relatively calm, having spent day and night with a ghost, which had toughened their courage.
Moreover, Luo Shu came in this time, and for some reason, Zheng Laoqi and the others felt somewhat at ease knowing that Luo Shu was with them.
Although she knew that this jinx might not necessarily save her from certain death, she still remained calm.
Then they saw a faint candlelight in the distance, so weak that it would probably go out in a gust of wind. There were living people around the candlelight, and they could hear heavy breathing coming from there.
Then they heard a creaking sound, the sound of something heavy being moved. Zheng Laoqi and the others found themselves stiff and unable to move, their eyes wide open, making hoarse sounds, but unable to utter a single word.
A pair of blood-red eyes drew closer and closer to them in the distance, until they were right in front of them, accompanied by the stench of rotting corpses, which filled them with despair.
Is this really where I'm going to die?
Then, from afar as they approached, clusters of pale blue flames rose from the candlesticks, gradually illuminating the space.
Zheng Laoqi and the others could see clearly that there was a crowd of people gathered by the candlelight. At a rough count, there were about 20 people, including a man and a woman dressed as Taoist priests. They had handsome features, but were in a sorry state.
His face was ashen, and his breath was barely a whisper; he must have been seriously injured. There was a thin line of blood at the corner of his mouth, and his body was covered in cuts of all sizes, from which blood was seeping.
It's not hard to see that these two are what made the red-eyed ghost wary, but these two are already at their last gasp, and it's estimated that they will all perish here soon.
The living people present all thought that the eerie blue light was caused by the red-eyed monster, but the Zheng family members felt that it was somewhat familiar.
The red-eyed ghost was also taken aback. It had the nature of a ghost and had gained intelligence after a hundred years of cultivation, but it was still somewhat dull. At this moment, it stared blankly at the blue flames, seemingly unable to understand why this thing had appeared here.
Then, a dark aura gathered before them, and the immense ghostly energy pressed down on their hearts, causing them to feel restless, fearful, and deeply chilled.
Then, a single sofa appeared in mid-air, with a woman reclining on it.
She wore an ordinary tank top, the thin straps cinching her snow-white arms and outlining her alluring curves. Her chest was a dazzling expanse of white, and she wore denim shorts, her jade-like legs stretched out, exuding charm and allure.
Her peach blossom eyes were alluring and passionate, her black hair cascaded down, and her red lips were full; she was truly captivating.
Such unparalleled beauty left everyone present dumbfounded, stunned and unable to recover.
When they came to their senses, they realized that the stunning beauty in front of them was floating in the air, surrounded by black mist, exuding an eerie aura.
This, this, this probably isn't even a person!
