There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 166 Finding General Zining’s Body 3
"It's not a 'stranger', it's an 'acquaintance'." Chu Xiu said with a half-smile.

"But when it comes to acquaintances... If Senior Brother Huangfu has nothing to do, is there anyone else from Huangfu's family who can come here to collect ghosts?" Zi Gui felt puzzled.

"It's also possible that that person was not seen when he entered the village and up the mountain." Chu Xiu added another possibility.

Huangfu Lv didn't say much about this matter, and kept walking in silence, not participating in their discussion.

Soon, they came to the general's tomb.The cold tombstone stared at the crowd silently, and the mottled sunlight fell on the tombstone, making the tombstones that are often seen under the cold moonlight a bit more ancient and solemn. "First of all, you have to go into the tomb first." Chu Xiu said.

"Really want to go in?" Zigui glanced at Huangfulu anxiously.To be honest, just looking at those walls makes people feel goosebumps all over their bodies, and those people were all buried under the order of King Gui—that is, Brother Huangfu’s previous life. ?But she couldn't see any emotion from Huangfu Lu's expressionless face.

"It's best to let Zigui lead the way." Chu Xiu said, "After all, there are evil spirit beasts guarding here. If one is not careful, the beast will think that we are intruders, and then tear us to pieces."

"Evil-proof beast..." Xiuwen asked curiously, "Could it be the monster that the villagers talk about?"

Several black lines suddenly appeared on Chu Xiu's forehead, "Can you not use "monster" to describe a mighty and ferocious beast like the evil spirit beast? "If the evil spirit beast knew, it would definitely die of anger.

"Everyone in the village says it's a monster." Xiuwen tried his best to "reasonably" say, "An unusual and strange beast, what is it if it's not a 'monster'? "

Chu Xiu realized that he had done another stupid thing—what kind of idiotic arguing with Xiuwen for no reason?
Because Zigui thought that his spells were not enough to bring the four of them into the tomb, so Zigui led Huangfu Lv, Chu Xiu led Xiuwen, and entered the tomb in two groups.

It was the first time for Huangfu Lv to enter this tomb that was kept absolutely isolated from the outside world. The resentful and gloomy faces on the wall seemed to want to yell at him the resentment that had passed thousands of years. He felt his once proud strong nerves tremble slightly.

"Senior Brother Huangfu, are you alright?" Zi Gui asked tentatively as if he had been paying attention to his every move.

The slightly caring tone surprised Huangfu Lv, he seemed to feel that this slight concern was both kind and hateful.What a contradictory mentality!He pressed his forehead with his hand and shook his neck to show that he was fine.

"Junior Sister, the sculpture on the wall is so realistic!" Of course, Xiuwen is the only one who still enjoys himself in this kind of space as if he was visiting.

"Then, those are not sculptures..." Zigui smiled stiffly, not knowing how to explain Xiuwen's optimistic misunderstanding, "Actually, they are actually buried..."

"Isn't it a sculpture? Could it be a mural?" Xiuwen popped up another answer, his eyes sparkling in surprise, "Junior Sister, you said this is a sacrificial object? Isn't this a tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period? Could it be that there were all three-dimensional paintings at that time?" La?"

I admire it... Chu Xiu laughed dryly, he really deserves to be a person who can treat the dead as an ascetic, and his thoughts are very understandable.

Huangfu Lv, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "Junior Sister, how did you enter the real tomb before?"

Zigui noticed that Huangfu Lv had been carefully checking the words on the sarcophagus, although he was talking to her, he didn't turn his head to look at her. "Oh, actually, I don't know what happened, but when I was reading the words in the sarcophagus..." Zigui said apologetically.There's no way, after all, she hit it by mistake at the time, and she still can't figure out what's going on until now.

Huangfulu straightened up, looked down at the armor inside the sarcophagus, and couldn't help stretching out his fingertips to gently stroke the slightly cold armor. "You mean, are you looking at the words inside the sarcophagus?" Huangfu Lv asked softly, still without diverting his gaze.

"Well, senior brother, I'm afraid you have to climb into the coffin to see clearly..." Zigui said hesitantly, oh my god, she actually asked someone else to climb into the coffin, what the hell is she talking about?

Fortunately, Huangfu Lv didn't care about her "slight slip of the tongue", leaning on the sarcophagus with one hand, he turned over and entered the sarcophagus with a light leap.Zigui also walked over, and was about to tell him what words he was reading. When he entered the secret room where General Zining's body was stored, he saw Huangfu Lv gently stroking the words engraved on the sarcophagus.She rarely saw Huangfu Lv showing such a look in his eyes, which seemed sad, remorseful, and nostalgic.She suddenly felt that it would be very wrong and disrespectful to talk to him and disturb him at this time, so she stood quietly by the side before Huangfu Lv came back to notice her.

"Ah Lu! What's interesting inside?" Xiuwen suddenly leaned over and asked expectantly—of course, the sad and gloomy atmosphere was swept away immediately.

"Is there anything interesting in the coffin?" Chu Xiu couldn't help but ridiculed.

"Junior Sister." Huangfu Lu said, "Have you read all the words carved on this sarcophagus?"

"Well, I've read it." Pointing to a line of writing, she said, "When I was reading that line of writing, I suddenly entered the secret room where the corpse was hidden."

"I am crazy in this life, but Yu will always stand by my side. I feel that my heart is the same. I would like to bear the infamy of future generations and swear to keep Yu's soul forever." Huangfulu murmured, with a faint wry smile on his face.

"Senior Brother Huangfu?" She rarely saw the "expressive" Huangfu Lu.

"There seems to be no response." Xiuwen smiled and propped himself on the sarcophagus, and said with his chin in his hand, "Maybe it will only be effective if the younger sister touches those words, just like the special mechanism that only certain people can open that are often shown in serial dramas."

"Then I'll give it a try." She also wanted to know the reason why Senior Brother Huangfu wanted to find the corpse, and what he wanted to do after he found the corpse, so she readily offered to help.When she was about to climb into the sarcophagus, she noticed that Huangfu Lv's face changed slightly. "Senior brother Huangfu?" She stretched out her hand to grab Huangfulu's clothes, but she felt a blur in front of her eyes—"Little Xiuxiu." Xiuwen raised his head and called Chu Xiu who was still sitting on the other side of the sarcophagus studying chess records.

"What?" Chu Xiu casually agreed without looking back.

Xiuwen blinked his eyes and said, "I seem to be dazzled..." Why did Junior Sister and Ah Lu suddenly disappear?

"Not only are you dazzled, but you are also often mentally retarded, what's so strange." Chu Xiu said harshly.

"Really?" Xiuwen scratched his hair, not caring about the offense of Chu Xiu's words, and continued, "But I just now..."

"Stop talking, you should either be quiet for a while, or chat with your younger sister Zigui!" Chu Xiu said in a bad tone.The only thing left in this tomb is these chess games, but judging from the chess games, he can only see that they are records of certain battles, but since they will be expressed in words and engraved on the sarcophagus, there may be more What secrets are hidden inside.He has to think hard, how can he have time to listen to Xiuwen, a sparrow who doesn't know the so-called chirping, a lot of meaningless things!

"Oh." Xiuwen shrugged, "Okay then, since you said so." Since you can't chat with junior sister now, let's be quiet for a while.

It seemed a little too quiet.

After a long while, Chu Xiu found that there was no sound around him, and the silence was too unusual.Even if Xiuwen is really so obedient and silent, it is impossible for Zigui not to talk to her favorite brother Xiuwen!He stood up and looked back. There was a high-quality silence in the tomb.What about Zigui?What about Huangfu Law?Asleep in a coffin?He probed into the sarcophagus, and there was not even a ghost inside except for the armor. "Zigui?" Does that girl still have the leisure to play hide-and-seek with him?He detoured around the back of the sarcophagus, only to see Xiuwen lying on the ground and sleeping soundly—was he able to fall asleep in the tomb?Chu Xiu felt that he underestimated Xiuwen's nerves that were thicker than a whale bone.Although he really wanted to wake Xiuwen up with his feet, he still had lingering fears about Xiuwen's "joke", so he squatted down and pushed Xiuwen, "Hey, where are Zigui and Huangfu?"

Xiuwen yawned and sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and said with his usual non-nervous smile, "Hey, little Xiuxiu, good morning."

"Morning, morning, good." Chu Xiu said with a half smile, "You slept really well." How come you didn't freeze to death?

"It's okay, I woke up early in the morning to bake bread, and I'm a little sleep deprived, so I'll catch up on sleep if I have nothing to do." Xiuwen stretched his waist and said.

"If you want to catch up on sleep, don't come up the mountain with us to join in the fun!" Chu Xiu said patiently.

"That won't work, I will be responsible for your safety!" Xiuwen said sternly.

The person who slept next to him had the nerve to say that he was responsible for their safety?Chu Xiu sneered twice, and said, "Why are Zigui and Huangfu missing?" Xiuwen dared to say that he would try it if he fell asleep, and he would definitely vomit blood for him to see!
"Oh, they suddenly disappeared when they were looking at the words inside the sarcophagus." Xiuwen pointed into the sarcophagus.

"When did it happen?" Chu Xiu's eyes widened.Why didn't Xiuwen say anything about such a serious matter?
"Shortly before I catch up on sleep." Xiuwen replied without thinking.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Chu Xiu was surprised and angry.

"You told me not to chatter just now, and you said that I should either be quiet for a while, or chat with my junior sister. I thought that since my junior sister was gone, I could only stay quietly. I stayed quietly for a while, and felt I'm a little sleepy, so I plan to sleep for a while..." Xiuwen told him the ins and outs very carefully.

"Please talk about such an important matter earlier, okay?!" Chu Xiu roared, the sound was louder in the tomb, even his own ears were a little buzzing.

"It was you who told me not to talk too much." Xiuwen said innocently.

Although he didn't vomit blood, he really wanted to hit the wall now.He could hear himself grinding his teeth now - he must calm down, he must calm down, getting angry with Xiuwen now will not help anything, and his blood pressure will also soar.He took a deep breath to calm himself down a bit before jumping into the sarcophagus to see if there were any clues left behind.But just like Zigui disappeared suddenly before, there was not even a single hair left in the sarcophagus.

"Xiao Xiuxiu, don't worry." Xiuwen said with a relaxed smile, "Junior sister and Ah Lu are together, Ah Lu will definitely protect junior sister."

"How do you know the two of them are together?" he asked back.Besides, staying with Huangfulu is not necessarily safe, sometimes Huangfulu has an inexplicable hostility towards Zigui, maybe he will do something.
