The gray-haired rats, each about the size of a four or five-year-old child, looked like humans, sitting cross-legged on the ground with their hands clasped in front of their chests, as if they were meditating.
I was startled and wanted to ask Yuchen what was going on, but when I turned around, I found that Yuchen was not there!
He threw me together with these big rats!
It can be seen that these rats have no ill intentions towards me, but even if they are not malicious, I am still scared to be with a group of rats.
I shrank back warily, and just as I was about to say something, I heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and Yuchen's voice came, "The place has been found. Can you help me dig out the entrance of the cave?"
"
"The third master is kind to the Hui family. This trivial matter is not worth mentioning. I will go now.
"The big rats got up and ran out.
After all the mice were gone, Yuchen walked in and said, "Are you awake?"
I glared at him unhappily.
Yuchen came over, pulled me into his arms, chuckled and coaxed me, "Why are you so angry?"
The moment I entered his arms, all the unhappiness in my heart disappeared.
I am simply addicted to this man.
I turned over and hugged him, "When you wake up from now on, just wake me up."
"
Yuchen gently scratched my nose and said, "Idiot, wouldn't you like to sleep a little longer?"
"No," I said, tired of him, "I want to see you as soon as I open my eyes.
"
Yuchen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and bit my lip hard, "Don't seduce me so early in the morning!"
I whispered, I didn't.
But his hands hugged him tighter, and his whole body wanted to cling to him.
In the past, I always felt that it was a one-sided crush on me, so no matter how close I was to Yuchen, I always felt like something was missing.
But after I heard Yuchen say he loved me last night, the missing piece in my heart was suddenly filled.
My whole heart felt like it was soaked in a honey pot, and it was filled with sweetness from the inside out.
Yuchen took me to have breakfast.
After dinner, a big mouse came over and said that the entrance to the hole had been dug.
Yuchen nodded, "Thank you.
"
"Third Master, there is no need to be polite," the big mouse said with a bow, "I hope that Third Master will say a few nice words to the little fairy when he sees the king.
Xiaoxian'er was very grateful.
"
Yuchen said yes.
The big mouse bowed to Yuchen again, then shrank its body, turned into an ordinary-sized mouse, and ran away.
Shu Xian'er was obviously asked by Yuchen to help us, but after helping us, we had to thank and kowtow to Yuchen in the end.
Yuchen's seniority is advantageous.
I asked Yuchen, is there anyone in the Xian family who is senior to him?
Yuchen said, "Of course.
"
"Then when you see them, do you also want to kowtow?"
Yuchen looked at me and said, "Well, when we see them, I will take you to kowtow together."
"
I felt strange, "Why am I kowtowing!" My seniority in the Xian family has nothing to do with me.
"Stupid," Yuchen said with disgust, "Why don't you be polite when you see the elders in my family? Do you still want to enter my house?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Aren’t all of Yuchen’s clan members dead? Are there any elders in his family?
I realized it later and my face immediately turned red.
I was stupid too.
Now is the time to worry about whether he has elders or not! I don’t care if he has elders or not, what I should care about is Yuchen’s attitude towards me!
My eyes lit up, "Yuchen, you want to marry me?"
As if he thought my question was stupid, Yuchen glanced at me and ignored me.
I excitedly jumped on him and hugged him tightly like an octopus, "You won't leave me, right? You won't leave me even during Ghost Festival, right?"
Yuchen's body stiffened for a moment. After a while, he took me out from under him, and the smile on his face faded, "Go and get the sword.
"
He changed the subject. Was he planning to go to the underworld to find Long Yue?
My heart felt like I had swallowed a large lemon, and it was instantly sour and bitter.
I waited for a while before chasing after Yuchen.
The entrance to the cave was in the courtyard of a farmhouse. I thought that the mouse fairy could at most help dig a robbery hole, but after arriving, I realized that the fairy family is indeed a fairy family, and their ideas are different from those of a commoner like me.
Shu Xian'er opened an entrance to the underground palace in someone's yard, and even dug the steps leading down.
The place next to the entrance is very clean, and I don’t know where Shu Xianer threw the excavated soil.
Looking at this entrance, I was stunned for a moment and thought to myself, this family probably can't live here anymore.
When I was in a daze, Yuchen had already reached the entrance. He stopped and said to me, "I'll go down and take a look. You wait for me above."
"
I nodded.
The Evil-Smashing Sword is a heirloom treasure of the Long family. Who knows if there is any mechanism where the sword is hidden?
I won't go down and hold you back.
After Yuchen went down, I sat at the entrance of the cave in a daze.
After waiting for half an hour, Yuchen didn't come up. I got a little anxious, so I stood up and walked a few steps into the cave.
Maybe it's because the cave leads underground. As soon as I entered the cave, I felt that the temperature around me instantly dropped a few degrees, making it damp and cold.
After going down about a dozen steps, the sun couldn't shine in anymore. The road ahead was getting darker and darker. I didn't dare to go any further. Just when I was about to shout Yuchen, I heard a woman talking from the front.
the sound of.
"Yuchen, it's so great that you helped me find my body! Now, I no longer have to possess someone else.
Yuchen, all that's left is the sacrifice. On the Ghost Festival, don't let me down.
"
The woman's voice is very beautiful, ethereal and charming.
Although I haven't seen her in person, I can tell just by hearing her voice that she is definitely a beautiful woman.
This voice was the woman who talked to Yuchen that night.
"Well, the sacrifice is under my control and nothing will go wrong.
"
Hearing what Yuchen said, the woman said happily, "I knew you wouldn't fall in love with that idiot woman.
Yuchen, I have worked hard for you for the past thousand years. If the dragon's soul hadn't been scattered and it took you a thousand years to put away her soul, we wouldn't have had to wait so long.
When the sacrifice is over, I promise to be with you. A thousand years have allowed me to understand that you are the one who truly loves me.
"
No wonder you said you have been waiting for me for a thousand years, because it took a thousand years for the dragon spirit to reincarnate me in this life!
So, the sacrifice under Yuchen's control is me, right?
I felt a little difficult to breathe. For a moment, I even regretted why I came down! It was better not to know anything.
My courage was exhausted and I didn't have the guts to listen anymore, so I turned around and walked up the stairs as if I was running away.
Because I was walking too fast, I accidentally knocked my foot on the step.
My ankle sprained, and my body suddenly lost balance and fell backward.
"Ah!" I screamed instinctively.
Before my body fell onto the steps, an arm wrapped around my waist, and then I was pulled up and pulled into a cold, solid embrace.
I thought I was dead.
I was in shock and my body was shaking slightly.
Yuchen held my waist and imprisoned me in his arms. He looked down at me, his dark eyes slightly angry, "Didn't I tell you to wait up there? Why are you running around like this!"
I originally wanted to pretend that I didn't hear anything, but when I heard these words, the fire in my heart suddenly burned up. I raised my head and looked at Yuchen, "Why can't I come down? Is there anything I can't see down here?"
Something!"
I suddenly became angry, and Yuchen's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly returned to his usual indifference, "There is nothing here, the Evil-Breaking Sword is not here, it was my mistake.
"
As he spoke, he picked me up and walked up.
But I was unwilling and struggled to get down, "I want to go down and have a look. I have never seen an ancient tomb in my life."
Yuchen, put me down!"
Yuchen hugged me tightly and said in a colder voice, "Don't be ridiculous, there is nothing down there.
"
Why lie to me!
The more he conceals it, the more I feel like he has something up his sleeve.
I couldn't hold back the tears rolling down my face.
Seeing me crying suddenly, Yuchen panicked, "Lin Xi, you..."
"I want to go down and watch! I want to go down!" I cried and shouted, acting like a rogue.
I dare not say that I heard the conversation between him and the woman. I am afraid that after I tell him, he will no longer even pretend to be nice to me.
I really love him so much that even if I knew he might be cheated, I wouldn't want to expose him.
Finally, Yuchen compromised and walked down with me in his arms.
At the end of the steps is a tomb chamber. There is only one tomb chamber. It is made of white jade. I don't know what is embedded in the jade. It emits a faint silver light. This light can barely make people see the layout of the tomb chamber.
A wooden stake was nailed to each of the four corners of the tomb, and an iron chain as thick as an adult's arm was tied to the wooden stake. The other end of the iron chain was wrapped around the stone coffin in the center of the tomb.
Four iron chains almost wrapped the entire stone coffin.
A copper coin sword is inserted on the ground in each of the eight directions of the sarcophagus, including the southeast and southwest.
Although I don't understand the formation, but looking at this arrangement, it looks like a seal.
I pointed to the sarcophagus and asked Yuchen, "Who is inside here? Can I have a look?"
Yuchen said nothing and carried me to the side of the sarcophagus.
After getting closer, I discovered that the lid of the sarcophagus was not completely closed, and the exposed gap was exactly the distance of a human head.
