Chapter 42: Entering the Central Tomb
Lu Xiaofeng pointed to a passage on the right and said, "The central tomb is connected to the nine outer tombs and ten tombs around it. That passage leads to the central tomb. When you go in later, be careful when you lead away those little ghosts. They are very difficult to deal with."
"Were you possessed by that kind of little ghost before?"
I asked quickly. She hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "There aren't many little ghosts, but they are much more powerful than the ones you encountered when you were doing missions with me before, so you must be careful."
"No way, there are more than one such powerful little devil. How can we deal with them with just two of us, one a fool and one a rookie? Aren't you asking us to die?"
"You may be a rookie, but I'm not stupid. If you're afraid of death, I'll go and lure those little devils away by myself."
I don't know if Zhao Hai, this bastard, is really not afraid of death, or is he just blinded by love. I glanced at Yang Ling behind him, and then cursed: "You are leading a fart, you can't even see ghosts."
"Shut up, damn it!"
Zhao Hai and I were both stunned, staring at Lu Xiaofeng in a daze. This girl cursed again. She glared at both of us, then said to me, "Are you scared now? It was you who begged your uncle to accept you as his disciple. Among the hundreds of disciples in our Yushen Sect, you are the most cowardly!"
This girl scolded me so much that I was stunned. Although I was upset, I was powerless to refute her. That's right, I was useless, afraid of death, and a coward. I only knew two half-baked magic spells, so of course I was afraid, damn!
Even though I thought this in my heart, I still forced a smile on my face and said, "Don't get excited. Excitement is harmful to your health. I'll do whatever you say."
The girl also took a deep breath and seemed to have calmed down. She said to me, "You will be the one to attract those little ghosts later."
My heart tightened and I said, "I am no match for those little devils."
"You are afraid of nothing. Don't you have the Moon Wheel? And with your Yin-Yang constitution, your blood can restrain the ghosts in the underworld, which is just right for dealing with the little ghost."
I was stunned. Is there such a thing? My blood can restrain ghosts, so I am born to catch ghosts? This girl doesn't look like she is lying, but why didn't she tell me before? If it is true as she said, then it should not be me who is afraid of ghosts, but the ghosts who are afraid of me.
I still didn't quite believe it, so I asked, "Is this true? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"Humph, if you knew that your physique and blood could restrain ghosts, would you still study magic well and abide by the rules of patrolling hunters?"
Lu Xiaofeng snorted and said.
What are you talking about? When did I not study and train seriously? Is it you who has never taught me?
She glared at me, as if she could see what I was thinking, and said, "After this mission is over, let's go back to Yushenmen."
She seemed to have mentioned this Yushen Sect just now, which seemed to be the sect she and her old master belonged to. Just hearing the name made it sound very powerful. It was like the different sects, weapons, and martial arts in the martial arts TV shows.
"this……"
I was just about to ask about the Yushen Gate, but Lu Xiaofeng glared and said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's move on. There's no benefit in staying in a place like this for too long."
As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the passage leading to the central tomb. Zhao Hai and I looked at each other and hurriedly followed. As soon as we stepped into the passage, a "clattering" sound suddenly came from behind us, like the sound of iron chains shaking.
Zhao Hai turned his head and tried to look back, but Lu Xiaofeng shouted in a low voice: "Don't look back, that's the sound made by the ghost substitute. If you look back now, your soul will be possessed."
Zhao Hai turned around quickly, his face full of fear. I glared at him and scolded him, "Boy, be quiet. Don't look around."
Damn, that was a close call. Actually, I wanted to look back just now, but luckily Zhao Hai got there first, otherwise I would have been scolded again.
Damn, I've only heard that black dog blood can deal with unclean things, but I didn't expect my blood to have this effect. As I walked forward, the tingling sensation on the moon wheel in my palm became stronger and stronger I couldn't help scratching it, but it didn't work at all.
"Girl, my moon disc keeps itching, how do you use this thing?"
The Moon Wheel can absorb and devour ghosts. If you can master the method of using it, it is a good way to deal with ghosts. Lu Xiaofeng glanced at me and said in a low voice: "How would I know? I don't have a Moon Wheel. When we get back to the sect, you can ask the elders for advice."
From this girl and the old man, Master Shi, we can guess that the Yushenmen must be an unusual place. It is an organization that specializes in studying magic and hunting ghosts. I don't know where the stinky old master has gone to live happily. I can't count on him. It seems that I really need to go there to find out about the Moon Wheel and see if anyone recognizes the formation in my body.
Soon, we reached the end of the passage. There was a very dim green light flickering outside the exit, which was extremely eerie. We approached the exit carefully. Although I was scared, I still looked forward secretly out of curiosity.
Outside the passage was an unusually large space, several times the size of the outer chamber, but the interior was empty, with only a circular stone platform, behind which was a huge stone statue, and above the platform there seemed to be a coffin, more than twice the size of the pipe outside. There were also nine stone pillars around the platform, but there were no iron chains connecting the coffins, but there was a person tied to each pillar.
"Damn, aren't those the ones who came to dig the graves?"
I asked in a low voice.
"What? Have you seen Yang Ling's dad? Where is he? Why can't I see him?"
Zhao Hai asked anxiously. I glanced at him. This kid looked anxious, as if he really couldn't see. When did my eyesight become so good?
The light here also comes from the coffin, but it is much dimmer. The space here is large, so the whole space is a little dim, and it gives people a hazy feeling. I had an illusion that this place was familiar and I wanted to walk in involuntarily.
"Snapped!"
There was a sudden pain at the back of his head, and then he heard Lu Xiaofeng's low voice: "Can you be more careful? You are a hunter after all. Don't stare at the coffin. There is a formation guarding the outside of the coffin. This formation has the effect of confusing people."
I was startled and turned back quickly, but I couldn't help but glance at the coffin. It was really fucking weird. This mission is full of dangers. After completing the mission, I must ask this girl for more money.
