As I said that, I stood up straight and looked behind me. The ghost road behind me was quiet and there was nothing there.
Then I looked at Loach and Lao Bai, "Since we have rushed from one end of the ghost road to the other, it is too late to turn back now. Why don't we continue walking ahead and have a look, maybe we will have unexpected gains!"
Now that the three of us have basically recovered our strength, Lao Bai and Ni Yi will naturally not object.
Then we simply tidied up and continued walking.
But as I walked, my steps began to slow down, because something evil happened before our eyes. I found a row of footprints in front of us.
The moment I saw these footprints, I just felt creepy. There was an extra row of footprints in the tomb. Could there be someone else here besides us?
Loach, when Lao Bai saw the row of footprints, his body trembled violently.
This is really weird.
Lao Bai squatted down and looked at the row of footprints carefully. "Dongfang, you see, the size of these footprints is about the same as the three of us. If there is someone else here besides us, then he must be similar in stature to us, right?"
Could it be that people from this village entered here by mistake, and then because this ancient tomb was so big, they got lost?"
"There is a possibility, but I don't think it is very likely that he is a villager in Lujiacun."
I continued, "Let's not think too much now. At least we can be sure that these footprints were left by Yang people. As long as everyone has room for communication, our safety can be guaranteed."
"Well..." Lao Bai stood up slowly, "Let's not scare ourselves for the time being, let's continue to the front and take a look!"
"Okay!" I promised Lao Bai, and then I took a step forward and continued walking forward.
But after I walked a few steps, I found that the loach had not followed. When I turned around, I saw that the loach was still standing there blankly, looking at a certain corner in a daze.
"Hey, Loach, what are you looking at?" I walked over and patted Loach on the shoulder.
Loach then slowly turned around and looked at me, "Dongfang, I just seemed to hear a voice coming from somewhere."
Loach's expression was dull, exactly the same as when he got up in the morning and hadn't yet woken up.
Is someone talking in that corner?
I looked at the corner pointed by Loach's hand. It was pitch black there. Even if someone was really hiding there, I couldn't see it from such a distance.
Moreover, Loach is famous for his good listening skills. Relying on this trait of his, we have saved ourselves from danger several times.
I took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the breath I took in. Finally, I took out the Lightning Strike Peach Wood Sword and slowly walked towards the corner pointed by Loach's hand.
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. No matter how much speculation you make, it will be in vain. If you want to know if anyone is secretly hiding there, the easiest way is to go and take a look.
I held my breath and walked very slowly with every step. When I got there, I quickly turned on the flashlight, but there was nothing there.
"Dongfang, is there anyone there?" Loach asked loudly behind me.
"No." I turned off the flashlight and walked to Loach. "Loach, maybe you are worrying too much. I just took a look and there is nothing there."
Loach nodded, looking a little disappointed, "Maybe I heard wrong!"
I patted Loach on the shoulder and we continued walking forward.
Although we didn't find anything just now, the row of footprints still reminded me that danger is everywhere in this ancient tomb.
As we were walking, my eyes suddenly blurred. In my daze, I seemed to see a person running past us.
But when I wanted to speak to stop him, the man quickly disappeared.
"Did you all see it just now? There seemed to be someone running past us." Lao Bai, who was walking at the front, looked back at us. He looked very excited.
I didn't answer Loach's words, because the speed of the figure just now was too fast. I just saw a shadow flashing in front of my eyes. It's hard to say whether it was a person or not.
"Look!" Just when I lowered my head to think about the problem, Loach suddenly shouted excitedly.
I quickly raised my head and looked before walking, and the figure that just disappeared ran past our eyes again.
"Dongfang, let's chase him and have a look!" Lao Bai suggested.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look and figure out what's going on with that figure?"
Then we ran together to where the figure was sitting. When we got there, before we had time to take a look at the situation, the figure appeared not far from us. I glanced at the three of us, and then turned around.
Ran to another place.
"Dongfang, that figure keeps flashing and appearing in various locations, as if to deliberately attract our attention and take us somewhere. Do we want to continue to follow?"
As soon as Lao Bai finished speaking, Loach said, "No, didn't we all say it before? There are many dangers in this ancient tomb, and we don't know what the purpose of that figure is. If the figure is to take us to
If a strange place harms us, if we go there by ourselves, isn’t this just throwing ourselves into a trap??”
I shook my head. "The figure moved very quickly. He appeared in front of us for a moment, and then disappeared. It can be seen that he is not a human being, but a ghost in this ancient tomb. If he really wants to harm us, how can we do it?"
There are simply too many to go to such trouble."
"Since you think there is no danger in Dongfang, let's go there and have a look!" Loach said.
Then I walked in front, and we changed direction and walked towards the place where the figure disappeared just now.
When we turned a corner, we saw that figure again.
We have formed a tacit understanding. As soon as they see us, the figure will run quickly and then appear in another place.
Finally we were taken to a tomb, with a person leaning against the wall of the tomb.
No, to be precise, it was not a dead person, but a mummy.
The clothes of this mummy are the same as those of the four corpses we found at the beginning. It seems that they should be in a group. The mummy in front of us is also a tomb robber.
But it’s still unclear why four of these tomb robbers died outside and only one died here.
"Dongfang, that figure just now brought us all the way here just so that we can admire his majestic appearance when he died?"
