Huaiyu is slightly cool

In the underground palace without any beams and pillars, the rectangular room is cold and silent, like a sarcophagus buried underground for thousands of years, but at this time a figure suddenly broke into it.

The sound of slow and slight footsteps, the sound of iron chains under the unicorn stone beast seat at the gate of the tomb, the sound of gears slowly moving to the sides of the stone gate, these sounds are so clearly discernible in this quiet tomb hall.Then a bunch of white flashlights shone into the tomb from the door of the tomb, just like a firefly suddenly flashing light, and then soared and danced solo in the boundless darkness.

The person who came in swept the flashlight around the tomb room, approached the three-story circular mound-shaped platform without stopping, and walked up the steps slowly and steadily.This altar building is quite similar to the Earth Altar among the Five Altars in Beijing. The three-story circular mound is about five meters high, and each floor has nine steps on all four sides.In the center of the upper layer is a round stone with a diameter of about two meters and no obvious cutting marks. The bottom of the round stone is carved with five dragons intertwined and held up. Extending outward in turn, the railings and pillars made of black jade are also in multiples of nine or nine.

The light of the flashlight penetrated the black jade pillar and refracted out again. The light spread out at once, vaguely reflecting the appearance of that person.It was a delicate woman who looked about 25 or [-] years old. Her overly thin body was carrying a huge black bag on her shoulders that didn't match her figure, just like a snail carrying weight, which made her look more slender and slow overall. The body in the black stand-up collar windbreaker coat seemed to be overwhelmed, and it looked a little awkward.Her face was as pale as paper, and her expressionless facial features were a little too cold and silent.She walked up to the last step on the upper floor, stopped and looked at the circular mound platform in front of her, then leaned on the lookout post next to her, panting slightly, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her short messy hair was pulled out, revealing A pair of cold and distant eyes.

Holding the flashlight, the woman unloaded her backpack and put it aside gently, then sat down along the pillar. She looked down at the coin-sized words written in cinnabar on the huge table, and after a long time looked at the three words on top of her head. The four-meter-high curved dome roof, then whispered to himself with a smile: "So it's Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly."

She got up and was about to go to the round platform to have a look, but when she stood up, she swayed and fell heavily on the ground. She hissed softly in pain, her stomach suddenly convulsed, and a fishy sweetness gushed up from her throat , but was forced to swallow by her pursed lips, coughed a few times, then slowly stood up, subconsciously licked her dry and peeled lips, her lips were extremely pale, but at this moment they were suddenly painted into a strange bright red.

It's just that as soon as she stopped coughing, there was a faint sound outside the palace door, which was clearly audible in the silent underground palace.

The woman immediately turned off the flashlight, turned around vigilantly and asked, "Who? Is it a person or a ghost? Come out!"

The hall was pitch black for an instant, and then there was deathly silence.After a short while in the darkness, several strong lights suddenly lit up outside the hall door, and the next moment, five men in camouflage uniforms and a thin old man in a tunic suit rushed in at the same time.And those five men wore searchlights on their heads, they were tall and big, with strong limbs, fierce eyes, and some weapons pinned to their belts. As soon as those people entered, the empty and dark hall was instantly illuminated like daylight.But there was only one woman in the hall, she looked down at the people who came in, and stood silently.

The thin old man squinted his eyes and glanced around the hall first, then sized up the person opposite him for a moment, then sneered disdainfully, and asked the other person in a cold voice: "Zhou Huai? Don't you always steal things from the living? Come underground to grab a job with us?" The old man's deep and hoarse voice rang out in the hall with a chill, and it was even more eerie and treacherous.

The woman named Zhou Huai on the opposite side was not afraid of these people at all, or she ignored the attitude and questioning of the other party. Instead, she chuckled. The low and deep laughter was melodious. She clasped her fist at the other party and said freely and freely: " Ghost old man, lucky to meet, I did not expect such a coincidence, I met here. You are right, I used to only take things from living people, but it is not easy to make money these days. One way to make money is called cross-border. Everyone depends on their own abilities, how can it be considered a robbery? But today is considered unlucky. The tomb is empty and there is nothing in it. Or some senior searched too carefully and didn't lose any of them, so this trip was a waste of time."

The ghost old man just smiled when he heard the words, stared at every word and said: "So you came in by mistake? But I have lived all my life, and I have never heard of thieves and starvation! But no matter you What is the reason, since you have entered the tomb, you must understand the rules of this industry!"

When Zhou Huai saw him say this, a cold light flickered in his eyes, his gaze was as serious as a poisonous snake in human skin.She blinked slightly, scanning the group of people.There were so many people on the other side, and they blocked the door aggressively to teach her the rules. She raised the corners of her mouth with great interest, and asked kindly: "Your junior has just crossed the line not long ago, so please give me some advice, senior?"

The ghost old man slowly approached Zhou Huai with his hands and said, "According to the rules of the Mojin school..."

"Is it lighting candles in the southeast corner? I've heard of it, but I didn't bring it with me, why don't seniors lend me one?" Zhou Huai watched those people approaching in a fan shape with indifference, but she had no color at all. The ghost old man was talking nonsense, but out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the fluorescent needle on her wrist watch, and then glanced outside the tomb door, with a cold look in her eyes, and a slight frown between her brows, but all the expressions disappeared after a flash. indifferent.

Seeing Zhou Huai retreating, the ghost old man just smiled faintly, didn't answer her words, and continued to lead people closer.On the contrary, the man guarding the door chuckled, and suddenly said: "No, in the tomb, the candlesticks are used by the gold touchers themselves, if you meet outsiders or other sects, you should switch to lighting sky lanterns! "

Zhou Huai looked calm and was not frightened by the other party's words.Seeing the other party go up the steps and outflank him, he stretched out his hand to the backpack beside him, but stopped halfway, glanced at the door calmly, hesitated for a moment, then withdrew his hand and said, "Now is the rule of law." In society, everyone lives in harmony, and everything is easy to discuss. In this way, I will leave everything behind, and you let me go there, pretending that you have never met, okay?" She asked the old ghost in a negotiating tone, and looked at the old man again. The man guarding the door.

The man didn't make a statement, but turned his gaze to the old man Gui. Zhou Huai saw the old man stop two steps away from her. After carefully looking at the round stone plate, he looked back coldly. Zhou Huai said: "Hand over the things on the altar first, and we can discuss it!"

Zhou Huai asked in confusion: "Things? When I came in, the top of the table was empty, and I never approached it."

The ghost old man stared at her and shook his head, he said with a smile: "You came in first, if something is missing, I will naturally look for you. Hand it over as soon as possible, maybe I can give you a good time later."

Zhou Huai took a few steps back, only looked at the other party and said indifferently, "Nonsense, I never took anything from here."

The ghost old man stopped arguing with her, and only waved to the people around him, "Tie him up first, then search him!"

As soon as this was said, both sides moved for a while.

Zhou Huai drew out the Eagle-headed Hidden Knife and threw it across at the two people who rushed up, but the opponent used the wide-backed katana saber to block it, and the other took advantage of the momentum to approach Zhou Huai with the three-striped L saber. poke.Zhou Huai hurriedly retreated. Although he moved quickly, the knife still stabbed his abdomen. Although the wound was not deep, there was a big hole in his left pocket, and something fell out of the pocket with a crisp sound of 'pop' , fell apart when it fell to the ground.

Both sides paused slightly, and each took two steps back to look down.I saw that it was a black jade handle that looked as long as a finger. At this time, the emerald dark green jade skin on the outside was cracked, revealing the real body of a jade fish that was about a finger wide and slightly longer than a thumb.A layer of physical fake leather was made on the outside of the jade fish, and then the leather was added to change the color. The second layer of reinforced skin made Moyu's jade fish jade pendant into an emerald dark green handle, which changed from color to shape. If it weren't for this fall, who would have thought that there was a universe in this jade.Looking closely at the unscathed jade fish, the fine engraved lines carved on the scales on it are as thin as a hair, resembling the "gossamer hair carving" craft that has been lost since the Han Dynasty.The ghost old man immediately stepped forward to pick up the jade fish, his eyes were overjoyed, he didn't even look at Zhou Huai again, and only ordered the other two to go and tie him up.

Zhou Huai covered her wound, and stopped doing unnecessary resistance. She obediently let her hands go, but she said unwillingly, with her hands tied behind her back by the nylon rope, "Hey, this is my own thing. Robbery?"

The old ghost chuckled happily and said, "I've only been doing #过#robbing in my life, but I don't care whether the corpses in the tomb are old dead, dead, or newly dead when picking things up." After the old man bit down the sound of the word "new death" slightly, he squinted at Zhou Huai as if looking at a dead #corpse, then walked alone into the middle altar and put the jade fish in his hand into the circular groove of the well. It fits perfectly with the engraved groove, as if it was inlaid there by nature.As soon as the ghost's eyes lit up, he pressed the bead in the middle of the ring with his hand, only to hear a 'click', the bead sank, and the whole stone platform shook, but there was no movement after that.

When everyone was staring at the stone platform from a distance, only Zhou Huai's voice suddenly sounded: "Ghost old man, what is this platform for?"

After realizing that there was no movement on the altar, the old ghost turned around and walked to Zhou Huai's side. He frowned and looked at her carefully before asking in doubt: "You're quite curious, you really don't care about yourself, little girl!" Worried about my life, I still think I dare not kill you? But isn’t your family the townsman here? How could you not know that this is the Hall of Rebirth? It is said that after the circular altar is opened, the living can go to the bliss through the passage below. The world, truly freed from the six realms, has unlimited lifespan."

"You have to die, don't you understand?" Zhou Huai smiled, and said, "Isn't everyone advocating science now? Why are you still superstitious? Hey, who made up this nonsense?"

The ghost old man only glanced at her, and said with a mysterious smile: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as someone pays."

Zhou Huai also smiled when she saw the greed in the gloomy and cold eyes of the ghost old man. She glanced at the people present with a very shallow smile and said to herself: "Her ability to make up nonsense is amazing. It's getting better and better."

The ghost old man had already walked to the edge of the platform and nodded to the person guarding the door, but he didn't hear her words.The person at the door also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, turned around with a relaxed expression and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Boss, no problem, come in."

There was a sound of thin wheels sliding in the dark outside the door, gradually approaching the door, and then slowly approaching the steps, Zhou Huai squinted at the person who came in.It was a pale and thin woman in a wheelchair, wearing a large black cape-style robe with a hood, but her unusually thin bones made the dress look extremely empty and weird, like a skeleton in a black robe.She covered her head with the hood on her clothes, only revealing the strange pale half of her face under the bridge of the nose, but she couldn't hide her petite and delicate features.Those strong men went down, and the two carefully lifted the wheelchair up the steps, and placed it on the circular mound table with care, as if they were dealing with a fragile porcelain doll, but the eyes of the woman in the wheelchair were always watching Looking at Zhou Huai, it took a long time to say to Zhou Huai with a hoarse voice: "Xiao Huai, are you having fun?"
