Chapter 106: We Are Brothers, Let’s Be Poor Together
After resolving a small incident, the group moved forward again. The road behind them was a series of stone stairs. After walking through a short tomb passage, they came to a tomb chamber with a relatively less rough style.
There was only a high platform in the middle of the tomb, with a sarcophagus placed horizontally on it, and many gold statues piled around it. When a few flashlights were shone, the reflected light illuminated the entire tomb.
The big ones include life-like monkeys with human faces, and the small ones include spiders, snakes, insects and the like. They are all covered in golden light and are all extremely lifelike without exception.
Everyone present was attracted by the golden creations, including Zhang Moyu and Zhang Qiling.
But the others showed either shocked or greedy looks, while Zhang Moyu and Zhang Qiling had one look of suspicion and one frowning slightly.
This scene was too familiar, and Zhang Moyu instantly remembered a special weirdness in the horror world. But isn’t weirdness a specialty of the horror world?
Why is it here? This environment is not suitable for the survival and spread of this thing.
He always felt that this thing was out of tune with the surrounding environment, but for a moment he could not find the source of that strange sense of separation.
Zhang Moyu was a little suspicious whether he was being too nervous, but before verifying his guess, it would be better for them to stay away from the gold.
Treasures are very tempting, and not everyone can remain indifferent when seeing so much wealth.
Gold is not very attractive to Jie Yuchen and Zhang Qiling. After all, one of them is very wealthy, while the other regards money as dirt.
But it’s different for some poor people…
Fatty Wang and Wuxie both moved forward subconsciously, but were held back by Zhang Moyu, one holding each in his hand.
Wuxie withdrew his gaze with difficulty and looked at Zhang Moyu pitifully.
Zhang Moyu met his gaze, the rejection in his eyes was firm and unwavering.
Lao Tai and Boss Li rushed over with their men. Some of them desperately stuffed the lifelike golden snakes and golden insects into their bags and pockets, while others stroked the strangely shaped golden monkeys with greedy eyes and drooling mouths.
The black bear, who was a little more cautious than those people, couldn't help himself when he saw that they were fine after taking it. He moved quietly over there, wanting to give these homeless little babies a warm home.
Worried that he would be stopped by Zhang Moyu as well, he deliberately moved two steps to the side, away from Zhang Moyu who was stopping Wuxie and the others.
But he didn't include Wuxie.
Seeing Wuxie tugging at his sleeve and refusing to let go after several attempts, Hei Xiazi turned around and gave him a fake smile, then said through gritted teeth:
"Let go."
Facing Hei Xia Zi's slightly threatening tone, Wu Xie said that he now had the support of a big boss and was not afraid at all.
"I don't!"
Wuxie shook his head stubbornly and tried to pull it back with his hands, but he was not strong enough to pull Hei Xia Zi away.
"Well done, Wuxie! Lord Hei, we were once friends who bragged, chatted, ate, and drank together... cough, we were close friends, brothers in life and death!"
Fatty Wang shook his head in a nonchalant manner and gave Hei Xiazi a firm and shining look.
"Let's get rich together! Let's get poor together!"
Wuxie nodded frantically, then he and Fatty Wang high-fived each other through Zhang Moyu, who had a helpless look on his face.
Hei Xia Zi was so angry at their "brotherly love" that he had a lot of curse words in his mind but nowhere to vent them. He rolled his eyes at the two of them behind his sunglasses.
"There's something wrong with the gold."
At this time, Zhang Qiling's cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the three people, Hei Xia Zi, who were looking at each other affectionately.
When they turned their eyes over there, they saw a scene that made their hair stand on end.
Lao Tai and his buddies all had red eyes and bloodshot cheeks, and their expressions were crazier than each other, but their bodies were evenly covered with a hint of metallic luster, which showed that they had been hit.
"Can it be saved?"
Zhang Qiling had never seen such a situation before and turned his gaze to Zhang Moyu.
"He went into the tomb without thinking, and his greed outweighed his reason. Even if he was saved this time, something bad would happen to him sooner or later."
Before Zhang Moyu could reply, Xie Yuchen spoke with a look of disgust, obviously looking down on this group of people.
Zhang Moyu had been observing and saw that those who came into contact with gold gradually became metallic and eventually turned into golden statues. He confirmed that this gold was the strange thing he had seen before.
Strange Gold: It can transform other creatures into gold through direct contact. It has a fatal attraction to things with conscious life but low spiritual level. Anyone who wants to possess it will fall into a state of chaotic frenzy.
However, in the horror world, this kind of thing is usually brought to places where people gather by a kind of weirdo called a gold-guarding slave and sold to ordinary people who are unaware of the situation. It has never appeared alone in some remote place.
Zhang Moyu felt that the appearance of this thing was a bit strange, so he pushed Wuxie and the fat man aside and went up to observe those who had turned into gold up close.
Relying on his understanding of these strange methods, Zhang Moyu simply reached out and touched it.
Noticing his movements, Zhang Qiling's expression changed and he quickly went over and grabbed his wrist.
He wanted to ask if these people could be saved, but that didn't mean he was willing to let Zhang Moyu take the risk in order to save them.
"fine."
Zhang Moyu patted his hand comfortingly with his other hand, and felt the numbness gradually rising in his body. He calmly took out a small bottle from his pocket and sprinkled some white powder on his hand. The numbness in his body disappeared instantly.
Zhang Qiling felt relieved when he saw that he was not going to act rashly and that he had a way to handle it.
I glanced at the bottle in his hand and didn't ask why he didn't save those people when he had a way. I guessed that maybe there was something precious in the bottle and it wasn't worth it to save irrelevant people.
"Hey, Brother Mo, what is this?"
As if smelling the scent of the big baby, the elusive Xia Xia suddenly appeared and inserted himself between the two of them.
He didn't say he wanted it, he just wanted to join in the fun.
"salt."
Zhang Moyu gave an answer that surprised everyone present, and received several faces that seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Something that looks so weird can be solved with salt?
This is not a matter of science or not, but why does it feel like my status has suddenly dropped so quickly?
Wuxie, who had been exposed to the most literary works, instantly had some wonderful associations.
In some Western fantasy works, salt once had the same exorcism effect as silver, holy water, garlic, etc.
If salt is useful in reality, does that mean other things can also deal with supernatural things?
Even if those things are useless due to regional differences, what about peach wood swords, black dog blood, boy's urine and the like?
Thinking of this, Wuxie suddenly had a very good idea.
