thief, don't run

The sound of footsteps echoed in the quiet corridor, An Lingxue and Zhong Liyun each held a torch, and the bluestone walls reflected chaotic and mottled shadows, red light, black shadows, bluestone slabs , changing each other, creating a weird atmosphere.

However, a shadow that fluctuated up and down swam back and forth, breaking the atmosphere and bringing out a sense of relaxation and joy.Little Yunzi stuck out his tongue and ran back and forth, as if a little excited. After a while, he stepped forward and ran to the front. An Lingxue was still worried that he had gone the wrong way. After a while, he came back by himself wagging his tail. He just came back from a dark place. When she came out, her green eyes startled her.

"Little Yunzi! Don't run around!"

After scolding it, he finally became obedient for a while, following behind the two of them obediently, rubbing his head against them from time to time, his big eyes were innocent.

"A Xue, you are so fierce." Zhong Liyun felt that such a simple step was a bit boring, and it was a bit novel to see Xiao Yunzi acting like a baby.

An Lingxue glared at her, pushed Xiao Yunzi to her side with her knees as if she was disgusted, and felt relieved when she saw Xiao Yunzi go to pester her, and said: "This is the Imperial Tomb, although there is no It's dangerous, but who knows if there are any mechanism traps ahead, what should it do if it ran so carelessly and stepped on some mechanism? Be careful in everything."

Zhongliyun nodded seriously, expressing his approval, "Axue is right." However, she was not worried, because before entering the imperial mausoleum, she had already obtained the design drawings of the mausoleum, and inquired about the news from many sources, so that she could do it in one fell swoop. After finding the secret path left by the craftsmen, they are naturally familiar with the path they will take next.

The obsidian she wants to get is in the main hall of the mausoleum. According to the principle of "death is like life", the structure of the imperial mausoleum is actually simpler than ordinary mausoleums. It is basically designed according to the layout of the imperial city. In addition, she had the blueprints in hand, so she naturally chose a road that was neither dangerous nor dangerous, which can be said to be very safe.

However, everything is uncertain, and what A Xue said is correct. After all, the imperial tomb is buried deep in the ground. Even if they escape the traps of the authorities, there may be other unknown dangers. It is always right to be careful.

Therefore, she didn't tell A Xue about these things, but... She also liked the way A Xue worried about her.

Zhong Liyun saw her small face raised up, her brows were unconsciously frowned, a little happy, and asked: "Axue, are you afraid?"

An Lingxue glanced at her, "What are you afraid of?"

"Maybe a big monster suddenly appeared here. You know that there are a lot of people buried in the imperial tomb. After they die, their resentment will not dissipate. Maybe they will turn into some ghosts and float here..." Zhong Liyun Seeing that her breathing was much lighter, she felt amused, and continued: "There are still more, you know that in the mausoleum, there are often corpses that turn into corpses, the kind of big rice dumplings that can't be beaten to death, chasing them You run, if you meet..."

"That's enough! Shut up!" Saying this, An Lingxue shook the fire folder in her hand, and leaned towards her unconsciously.

Zhongliyun was suspicious, no way, is Ah Xue really afraid of these things?

"Big... zongzi...?" Zhong Liyun asked tentatively.

"Ah——you shut up, good and bad spirits!"

"Pfft -" Zhong Liyun couldn't help laughing, An Lingxue glared at her, but slowly grabbed her cuff.

Sneaky, only grabbing a corner, but holding it tightly.She was really scared. It would be better if Zhong Liyun didn't say anything. Once she said something, she couldn't help imagining a lot of things. It was purely to scare herself, but the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. It was part of her body. Instinct is hard to suppress at all.

He quietly grabbed her sleeve, which made her feel that she was not alone, and somewhat relieved.However, at the next moment, Zhong Liyun used all his strength to break the sleeve from her hand.

Suddenly there was a void in my heart, and a little bit of grievance.

The hanging hand held it unwillingly, and the next moment, it fell into a warm and soft cloud.

She looked up, and fell into her gentle eyes again, "Axue, if you are afraid, just hold my hand, I will protect you."

Zhong Liyun naturally noticed her small movements, so he held her backhand, and finally held hands!However, Ah Xue was really afraid of these things, so what would she do if she used to watch the night every day?Could it be that he went to catch thieves at night because he was afraid?

But if you are afraid, you are afraid, but she still wants to save face and refuse to admit it.

"I'm not afraid!" An Lingxue said stubbornly, not wanting to be caught by her.

That is who is holding my hand and not letting go, Zhong Liyun is amused, Ah Xue is like a cat, some things have to follow her, otherwise it will be difficult to coax her hair, "OK OK OK , I'm afraid, so Axue will protect me and hold me, okay?"

"Humph!"

After a while, An Lingxue glanced at her, took another step towards her, lowered her head to look at their intertwined hands, with a slight smile on her lips, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Zhong Liyun naturally heard it. Although he was duplicity to make him face awkward and not frank, Ah Xue was very gentle and soft.

"Wang-!"

Although they don't have to worry about any danger, after walking for several hours, the bluestone slabs under their feet are still the same, and the surrounding scenery is still completely the same. Such a mediocrity would make people crazy. If Zhong Liyun hadn't told her, She made a mark secretly, and An Lingxue almost thought that they had encountered a ghost hitting the wall and kept circling in circles.

Even Xiao Yunzi lost energy, his ears drooped, his tail was put down, and he dragged his body as if he was sick.An Lingxue was very worried that if it continued like this they would have a mental breakdown, and was about to stop to take a rest when the scene in front of them finally changed a little.

An Lingxue was very happy, no matter what it was, it was better than staying the same, and just as she was about to tell her, Zhong Liyun's complexion was not very good.

"What's the matter?" An Lingxue followed her line of sight, and under the faint firelight of Huozhezi, a round tomb chamber could be vaguely seen in front of it. It should not look big, but it is a bit strange, it is not closed. It is semi-open, and the place connected to the bluestone corridor is an arched opening. There is no tomb door, so you can directly see the scene inside.

It's really strange, it's like a... hole, and it's dark inside, I don't know what's there.

An Lingxue was a little scared, but she immediately cheered herself up again. Since she had decided to come down to accompany her, she naturally couldn't retreat now, let alone hold her back.

But Zhong Liyun could always detect her thoughts immediately, she looked away, smiled at her, and said: "It's okay, we have to pass through here, don't be afraid, just remember to hold on to me later."

An Lingxue shook her head, looking at her with firm eyes, "I'm not afraid." As long as you are by my side, I'm not afraid of anything, because you will protect me, I know.

And, I want to protect you too.

Xiao Yunzi also shook his spirits, and the two of them went forward together.

"What we fear is fear itself."

"Then there is nothing to fear but fear itself."

An Lingxue's heart really settled down, she entered the door, held the torch and looked around, it was indeed only a semi-circular tomb, she was relieved, and was about to move on, but her wrist tightened.

Zhong Liyun pulled her back, and pointed the torch in his hand downwards.

An Lingxue followed her gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and she took a deep breath.

Under her feet was a circular deep pit, only half a step away, if Zhong Liyun hadn't held her back, she would have stepped into it.This is not the key point, the eyes gradually adapted to the brightness, and then they could see clearly that inside the deep pit, there were dense white bones, glowing with a penetrating light under the illumination of the fire folds.

"It's a burial pit."

What Zhong Liyun said was right, An Lingxue naturally understood it, but what she cared more about was that the hands she shook were a little cold, and Zhong Liyun's face was even a little pale.

Why didn't you notice it?An Lingxue let out a sigh of relief, shook her hand, and called out, "Zhong Liyun, look at me."

Zhong Liyun turned his head, his eyes were a little dull, An Lingxue took back the firefly she had shown below, and said to her: "Look at me, don't be afraid."

Zhong Liyun's tense body relaxed, feeling a little helpless, "I'm not afraid, let's go." She was really not afraid, but it was a bit difficult to adapt to. She studied medicine with her master when she was young, and his medical skills were the best in the world. For those whose Master cannot save them, their greatest pride as a doctor is the moment when a life returns to the world from the brink of death.

However, this place is full of the most uncomfortable breath of death for her, and the people who were buried may not have died on the spot, but bound their hands and feet, and stayed here to die slowly. Standing here, she can imagine How fearful and helpless these people are when they are approaching death step by step.

Her heart was a little stuffy, but luckily Ah Xue was by her side.

An Lingxue thought she was scared too, so she pulled her, called Xiao Yunzi again, and led them along the edge of the deep pit to the opposite side, where there was another exit.

Zhong Liyun gradually recovered, and felt that Axue was cute. She must have mistakenly thought that she was also afraid. Really, he was so scared that he was dying, but he insisted on pretending that nothing happened.

However, even though he was afraid, he still came to comfort her...

After walking two quick steps, Zhong Liyun walked side by side with her and approached the burial pit by himself, protecting her inside. Seeing her looking over, he smiled, "It's okay, I'm not afraid, I will protect you."

An Lingxue smiled back at her, but the next moment, a small flower took her sight away.

It should be an orchid, but it is whiter than ordinary orchids. No, this kind of flower can no longer be called white, it should be crystal.And straight stems without leaves, the whole body is crystal clear, the flowers are gathered, and the head hangs down, like a shy lady.

It seemed to tremble slightly, and An Lingxue seemed to smell a faint fragrance, which was indeterminate and always changing, like glutinous rice cakes, or sweet-scented osmanthus wine, sweet and intoxicating.

No, why are there flowers here?

Suddenly, she had a headache, as if there was a layer of fog in front of her eyes, An Lingxue shook her head vigorously, a little spark from the fire in her hand splashed on the back of her hand, a heart-pounding burning pain hit her, and on the contrary, she woke up a bit.

The fog in front of her eyes gradually faded away, and An Lingxue's pain also gradually disappeared. Only then did she distinguish the scene in front of her. She had already come out at some point. She raised her right hand and looked, and there was a red spot on the back of her hand that was burnt by sparks. point.

"Why are you in a daze? Let's go."

Right in front of her, Zhong Liyun waved his hand in front of her with some doubts, then smiled, turned around and continued to lead the way.At the foot, Xiao Yunzi watched her look over, wagged his tail, and rubbed against her leg again.

An Lingxue followed and asked, "What happened to that flower just now? How could there be flowers in that kind of place?"

Zhong Liyun turned his head to look at her, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "That, it's crystal orchid, also called saprophytic flower, it's not surprising that it grows in that kind of place."

that kind of place?An Lingxue felt that there was something wrong with her tone, and asked again: "What kind of place is that?"

Zhong Liyun frowned, looked at her and sighed, and said as he walked, "Where there are corpses."

That's it.

After solving this problem, An Lingxue realized that she had let go of Zhong Liyun's hand at some point, and Zhong Liyun didn't seem to want to hold her again, so she couldn't speak.

Looking at the empty palm, she felt a little uncomfortable, she shouldn't let go, why did she let go?

The author has something to say: crystal orchid, known as the flower of the underworld, or the flower of death, dream orchid, saprophytic flower, is also regarded as a ghost flower.There are rumors that saprophytic flowers are one of the plants owned by the underworld. They are cultivated with the corpses of dead people and absorb the resentment, sorrow and despair of human beings. (From Baidu Encyclopedia)
