Just when Mo Shouchen was thinking about where this strange smell came from, someone next to him turned on a flashlight.

By the light of the flashlight, he saw a face in front of him, a face covered in blood.

Because the face was so close to him, he didn't realize who it was for a moment, but he heard Scarface's frightened voice.

"Mantis...mantis?!"

Mantis?!

Only then did Mo Shouchen realize that underneath the blood that had not yet solidified, it was indeed a woman's face.

And isn’t this familiar aroma the same one that Mantis smelled when he tied the safety rope on himself?

But isn't the mantis already...

Mo Shouchen suddenly felt his hair standing on end. He wanted to step back, but found that his back was already leaning against the wall and he could not move back at all.

"Ghost!"

Scarface let out a pitiful howl. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he had not escaped alone at the chain bridge, the mantis would not have died. So in his opinion, the mantis came back to seek his life.

"Mantis, I'm sorry. I was so scared at the time that I left you and ran away. In fact, I really regret it. Really, if you give me another chance, I will definitely not leave you. I

swear!"

Scarface knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mantis desperately, trying to beg her for forgiveness.

At this time, Mantis looked particularly miserable. Not only did she have many scratches on her face, but the clothes on her body were also torn in many places, and blood seeped out from inside.

She looked at Scarface, and then said coldly: "Okay, stop kowtowing, I'm not a ghost, I'm still alive."

"You're not a ghost?"

Scarface looked at Mantis with doubtful eyes, obviously he didn't believe what Mantis said, how could he still be alive after falling from such a high cliff.

Seeing Scarface and several others looking at him with suspicion, Mantis pointed at the shadow on the wall and said:

"You see, I have a shadow. Although I fell off the cliff at that time, my flying dragon claw was still hooked on the cliff. Later, I grabbed the rope of the flying dragon claw and finally climbed up. When I came up, I found that you were all gone. You

Isn’t that a bit too cruel?”

At this time, Hu Jiu asked again: "Why did you let go of the rope after that ghost jumped on you?"

Mantis explained: "As soon as the ghost touched me, my body couldn't move. Later, during the fall, I hit a protruding stone. The ghost was shaken away, and I finally regained consciousness.

Caught the rope."

This explanation sounded sound, and Scarface finally believed that Mantis was still alive. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said:

"It scared me to death. I thought you had turned into a ghost. It's great that you are alive!"

Mantis sneered, showing great disdain for Scarface's attitude. Scarface also knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

At this time, Master Zhou also came up and asked with concern: "How are your injuries? Why don't you stay here to rest, and don't follow us to find the imperial mausoleum."

Mantis shook his head: "Second Master, I just suffered a little skin injury. It's not a problem. You'd better let me go with you, otherwise I won't worry."

"Well, after I go back this time, I will definitely reward you well!"

Mr. Zhou deliberately used the word "reward" very strongly, and I don't know if it means another meaning.

A few people were on the road again. At this time, Mo Shouchen remembered his previous question and asked Hu Jiu: "What is the 'yin soldier' ​​you mentioned just now?"

Hu Jiu explained: "Yin soldiers, to put it simply, are soldiers composed of ghosts. In ancient times, there were terracotta warriors buried in imperial tombs. These terracotta warriors were not for decoration, but to protect the imperial tombs."

"Soldiers made of ghosts? Could it be that the terracotta warriors in the imperial tombs are all made of living people..."

Hu Jiu smiled and shook his head: "It's not as scary as you think. Soldiers are the foundation of a country. It is impossible for those in power to do such a ridiculous thing as letting soldiers be buried with them."

"However, before firing the terracotta warriors, the blood of soldiers will be mixed into the mud, so the terracotta warriors guarding the imperial tomb will contain evil spirits, and they will even become Yin soldiers patrolling the tomb. However, because they are just residual thoughts, as long as they are not alarmed

They will not be in danger."

It seems that those footsteps just now should be patrolling by the Yin soldiers guarding the Imperial Tomb. In that case, this place should not be very far from the Imperial Tomb.

Mo Shouchen suddenly remembered that the cold air that stopped in front of him just now, maybe it was one of the Yin soldiers.

Fortunately, I refrained from escaping at that time, otherwise once those underworld soldiers were alerted, something terrible might not happen!

Just as he was talking to Hu Jiu about the Yin soldiers, Scarface suddenly caught up with him quickly from behind.

Mo Shouchen thought he was here to retaliate against Hu Jiu for speaking rudely to him just now, so he quickly pulled Hu Jiu behind him and asked warily: "What are you going to do?"

But Scarface looked panicked, and he didn't seem to be looking for trouble.

He winked at Mo Shouchen, then leaned forward and whispered, "I found that there seems to be something wrong with Mantis."

Mo Shouchen asked in confusion: "What's the problem?"

Scarface glanced at Mantis walking behind with his peripheral vision, and then whispered: "Just now when the second master called her, she turned her head. I noticed that her shadow's head turning movement was half a beat slower."

"A half beat too slow?" Mo Shouchen didn't quite understand what Scarface meant.

"Her head has already turned around, but her shadow has just started to turn around."

"You mean her movements are inconsistent with her own shadow?"

Scarface nodded, his face turned pale and he looked frightened.

In fact, Mo Shouchen also felt that there was something wrong with the current Mantis, because she appeared just as the Yin soldiers passed by.

Just now, she just moved her legs and attracted the attention of the Yin soldiers. But she walked directly from behind, so she would definitely come into contact with those Yin soldiers. How could she be fine?

After Mo Shouchen expressed his judgment, Hu Jiu's expression became solemn. The three of them discussed it and finally decided to try Mantis' true identity.

"I have long disliked you!"

After saying that, Mo Shouchen punched Scarface in the face.

Although he was just acting, because he particularly disliked Scarface, Mo Shouchen's punch was fake and a little harder.

Scarface, who had been punched, took several steps back, then deliberately bumped into Mantis, knocking her directly to the ground.

At the same time, Mo Shouchen and Hu Jiu were paying attention to Mantis's shadow.

Sure enough, as Scarface said, when Mantis fell down, her shadow paused for a moment, and then fell down unconsciously.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit..."

Scarface originally wanted to apologize, but as soon as he finished speaking, he pointed at the mantis lying on the ground and backed away in horror.

Because he saw that Mantis was about to stand up from the ground. Her body was facing forward, but her face was facing backward.
