Chapter 029 The head of the family came to support
But how much can a young master who has never suffered endure?
After enduring for less than two seconds, Wuxie's breathing stagnated, his face turned three parts pale, he gasped in pain, and withdrew his hand tremblingly.
Wuxie put his hands in his pockets and walked a little stiffly. He wanted to pretend to be calm and follow, but then he suddenly remembered that there was Zhang Qiling behind him.
He turned his head stiffly and saw that Zhang Qiling's face was expressionless, just the same as before.
Then he thought that this person was very taciturn and probably wouldn't make a sound even if he was hit with three sticks. He probably wouldn't talk about his affairs everywhere, so Wuxie felt relieved.
This section of the tomb passage extends obliquely downward. The passage is not long and ends at a stone chamber with a simple layout.
The surroundings were all smooth stone bricks, seemingly unremarkable. In the center stood a stone platform about two meters long and a little over a meter high. On top of the stone platform stood a half-meter-high, four-legged square tripod covered in copper rust, exuding a sense of ancient charm.
Behind the four-legged square tripod, you can see a huge stone coffin. There are no patterns or words carved on the coffin, and there is not even an epitaph indicating the identity of the tomb owner.
Behind the sarcophagus, there is a deep tunnel that is large enough for two people to walk through. It is pitch black and you can't see what's going on inside.
Wu Sansheng and his companions were all focused on the sarcophagus. When they weren't paying attention, the daring Da Kui climbed into the four-legged square tripod, holding a handful of gold, silver and jade ornaments with an ecstatic look on his face. Pan Zi was also standing next to the tripod, waving and calling out to Wu Sansheng with a happy look on his face.
"Third Master! Look, there are so many treasures here! These alone are worth our trip."
Seeing that they were so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter, Wu Sansheng's face changed and he shouted at them.
"Come down quickly! Are you two going to die? That's a square tripod used for sacrifices. How dare you touch such an evil thing!"
Wu Sansheng was extremely angry.
Forget about Da Kui, he's a newbie who knows nothing. He's here just to help them. If he hadn't come to him and cried miserably in the past few days, he wouldn't have wanted to take him with him.
But Pan Zi is his confidant, and he has been to the tomb with him so many times. It is really wrong for him to be so careless until now!
"Third Master, you are just too cautious. What era is this? You still believe in those supernatural things."
Da Kui disagreed with his words, grinned, and thought to himself that Wu Sansheng was really old and was afraid of this and that.
Pan Zi actually listened to Wu Sansheng's words. He let go of his hand almost the moment he finished speaking, and wanted to pull Da Kui out of the cauldron.
Seeing that Da Kui was holding and wearing valuable goods, Wu Xie, a complete pauper, couldn't help but be tempted.
I thought that if Da Kui took it and it was okay, could I also go up and secretly take some to ease the financial pressure?
Guided by selfish motives, Wuxie couldn't help but make excuses for Da Kui.
"It should be okay, Uncle San, you see..."
Before Wuxie could finish his words, he heard a strange giggling sound coming from behind him, and he froze in place in an instant.
Could this be...
Not far from them, the originally dusty and motionless sarcophagus suddenly began to emit wisps of black air, and the coffin lid kept shaking, as if something inside was about to wake up.
The scary gurgling sound I heard just now came from there.
Before Wuxie turned around to follow the sound, he heard another similar giggling sound.
And this time the sound source is closer, right next to him!
"Brother, you...you, are you a human or a ghost..."
Wuxie looked at Zhang Qiling beside him and asked carefully, his heart trembling.
Zhang Qiling ignored his question and started chatting with the things in the coffin.
Wu Sansheng walked lightly to Wuxie's side, covered his mouth before he could say anything, and pulled him back.
Pan Zi tensed up, staring at the sarcophagus warily as he leaned toward Wu Sansheng. Da Kui, shaking with fear, crawled out of the four-legged square tripod and stumbled toward Pan Zi.
Zhang Qiling was still communicating with the things in the coffin in corpse language. Wu Sansheng whispered in Wuxie's ear that Zhang Qiling was very powerful and had a good reputation in the underworld, and would not harm them. He comforted Wuxie and told her to do everything according to Zhang Qiling's instructions, and they would be fine.
With one hand trembling and tightly grasping the breath-concealing jade token on his chest, Wuxie patted Wu Sansheng's shoulder behind him, indicating that these were all trivial matters and he was not afraid at all.
As the conversation continued, the noise inside the coffin not only did not subside, but instead intensified. It was so exciting that it seemed as if the owner was going to lift the coffin lid and perform a live resurrection show for them at any moment.
Zhang Qiling frowned slightly when he heard the excessive demands made by Zongzi in the coffin.
Just as he was hesitating, another gurgling sound was suddenly heard, accompanied by a faint sense of pressure, and the movement in the coffin suddenly subsided.
Hearing another voice coming from the way they came in, Wu Sansheng and his companions felt their scalps tingle instantly. They felt that they were attacked from both sides and their situation was getting worse.
But when Zhang Qiling heard the voice, his eyes lit up and he straightened his back without saying a word.
The strange gurgling sound stopped, and the coffin lid stopped shaking. The entire tomb suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, but the black mist continued to spread out.
Zhang Moyu stood at the entrance of the tomb, out of sight of them. His eyes were sharp, and his face expressionless as he looked at the road leading down.
Thinking back to what he had just heard, that blood corpse had spoken rudely to his own little Qilin, and even dreamed of taking advantage of the fact that his own child was without an elder by his side to threaten him, bullying the weak...
One of Zhang Moyu's hands unconsciously touched the bone whip wrapped around his waist. He was thinking about whether he should go down and whip the daring bastard to death with one whip after everyone else left, or should he whip him a few more times to vent his anger.
After a moment's confrontation, the rice dumpling in the coffin clucked twice again, and the black mist in the air began to condense as if retreating, and then disappeared into the coffin.
Seeing Zongzi, who had been unable to reach an agreement with him for a long time and became as quiet as a chicken after being threatened by the aura released by Zhang Moyu, Zhang Qiling suddenly wanted to laugh. He curled the corners of his lips and felt a long-lost sense of relief in his heart.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly had some evil intentions to fool people. He turned around and spoke to the others in a serious tone.
"You must leave tonight. Be careful not to touch the coffin."
"Okay, bro."
Wu Sansheng was the first to respond to his words, and then he gave instructions to the three people next to him.
"Pay attention, don't move."
Because there had never been any negative rumors about Zhang Qiling, Wu Sanxing had no doubts about his words, and the other three people had no other thoughts at all. They all regarded Zhang Qiling's words as an imperial edict and kept them firmly in mind.
"Yeah, don't worry, Third Uncle, I'm the most honest person."
"Don't worry, Third Master!"
"Third... Third Master, don't move. I really don't dare to move."
