Well of Mystery

Jiang Chenglu walked for a whole night, and he disappeared at dawn the next day.Bai Xiuqi took the time to call his cell phone several times, but maybe because of the bad signal in the warehouse, Jiang Chenglu didn't answer it once.

Since this is the case, Bai Xiuqi is also happy to relax.

Repairing the apartment, painting, going to the vegetable market, and cooking two or three of my favorite side dishes, the time just passed by bit by bit.

Until dusk, the snowflakes began to fall again.

After dinner, Bai Xiuqi turned on a floor lamp and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the studio in a daze.I don't know how long it took, but finally saw two lights on in the white snow outside, and his family's car drove back slowly.

The moment the car door opened, Jiang Chenglu sneezed due to the cold wind, and he finally regained consciousness a little.He turned up his collar and shrunk his neck, ran quickly under the eaves, shook the snow on his coat, stomped his feet again, and then staggered upstairs.

The corridor on the second floor was very quiet, and there was no light at all.Jiang Chenglu called "Little Bai" twice but got no response. He scratched his hair and pushed open the door. After walking two steps, he found Bai Xiuqi in the studio.

"What are you doing, you don't even bother to turn on the headlights, to save electricity?"

Bai Xiuqi didn't explain, but just asked, "You're back?"

"Yeah." Jiang Chenglu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa casually: "I'm so exhausted, I haven't closed my eyes for a whole day and night. One box after another, nothing can go wrong, alas!"

"Have you found any other problems?"

"No, there is a problem with that one box." Speaking of which, Jiang Chenglu touched his stomach: "Is there anything to eat at home? I'm starving to death."

"There are leftovers." Bai Xiuqi pointed to the kitchen.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with Bai Xiuqi's indifference, Jiang Chenglu still picked up a few mouthfuls of cold dishes, then grabbed a change of clothes and went straight to the bathroom, and lay down on the bed after taking a shower.As soon as my head touched the pillow, I fell asleep.

Bai Xiuqi had been idle all day, and of course she hadn't fallen asleep so early.He continued to paint in the studio for a while, and suddenly felt a little craving for a cigarette, so he grabbed his coat and walked outside.

The corridor was as cold as a refrigerator, and the smell of cigarettes seemed to have been frozen, making it extremely faint.

Bai Xiuqi took two puffs and felt that he was being stupid, so he pinched his cigarette and prepared to take a walk in the courtyard.But as soon as I got down to the first floor, I felt something was wrong.

This is a very indescribable feeling - neither sound, nor light and shadow, nor breath.But Bai Xiuqi believed that he really felt it: in the courtyard covered with snow, there was a "something" that was releasing a very unusual "breath".

A little strange, but a little familiar.It was as if he suddenly picked up a memory fragment that had been lost for a long time.It made his heart beat faster.

Be sure to check it out.

Bai Xiuqi walked forward following the "breath".The twilight of the snowy night was so hazy that after walking a dozen or twenty steps, he realized that what he was looking for was actually the car that Jiang Chenglu had driven by.

The "breath" is on the car, but it is definitely not from the car itself.

The car key is in Bai Xiuqi's coat pocket.He opened the car door and leaned over to check.There was nothing abnormal in the compartment, it was clean and tidy.The amulets from Shang Dou Xing's Taobao shop are also hung on the rearview mirror.

Then he opened the trunk of the car again, and saw what he was looking for at a glance.

A large wooden box with a series of black lacquer numbers printed on the side, and a logo composed of three clouds.

Bai Xiuqi is very sensitive to graphics.He immediately recalled that in the video sent by Ye Feng last night, the same logo was also printed on the wooden box where the situation occurred.

Last night's wooden box had been damaged in the burst.Today this one is obviously brand new.Bai Xiuqi suddenly had a guess: Is the thing that caused trouble yesterday being packed in this new box now?

He took a few steps around the trunk.There are several thoughts popping up in my mind.

Why did Jiang Chenglu bring the box back?Is it going to be brought into the basement of the apartment for storage?In this way, he would definitely not agree to his unauthorized access to the contents of the box.

But if you are locked in the basement, it will be very difficult to see you again...

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help turning his head to look at the second floor.It was pitch black in the direction of home, Jiang Chenglu should be fast asleep.

When it is broken, it is broken, and it is done immediately.Bai Xiuqi encouraged herself, and finally reached into the trunk.

The wooden box was lighter than he had imagined, and it was shaking slightly, and something was shaking vaguely.To be on the safe side, Bai Xiuqi first moved the wooden box to the center of the courtyard where there was a keel grass formation - although it was winter, the keel grass hadn't grown yet, but in case something happened, it would be easier to deal with it in the open surroundings.

The box was brought over, and the next step was how to deal with it.

Thinking of the scene where the wooden box exploded in the video, Bai Xiuqi was indeed a little worried.But by chance, he firmly believed that with the practice during this period, he should be able to protect himself.

The key is to find a handy tool.

For more than a year, except for occasional quarrels, Jiang Chenglu and Bai Xiuqi have always slept together.Over time, the small and crowded shabby room next door was turned into a utility room.

Bai Xiuqi walked up with light steps, took a set of tools and went downstairs, and began to study the technical problem of how to use a screwdriver to pry open the wooden box.

Anyway, first find the gap in the wooden box.

With the light of the soul fires up and down in the Xuanjing apartment, Bai Xiuqi could clearly see the spells plastered all over the surface of the wooden box.He knew these strokes, they were the most expensive ones in Shang Dou Xing's Taobao store, and the person who posted them should be Jiang Chenglu.

He used the tip of the screwdriver in his hand to slide over the talisman lightly, and quickly found the depression hidden under the surface of the talisman paper, and stabbed it hard.

"...!"

The breath in the box suddenly expanded dozens of times, like a stream of high-pressure steam gushing out from a small opening.

For a moment, Bai Xiuqi felt the violence and fury in his breath; but before he could recover, all the negative feelings were swept away and turned into inexplicable joy.

After this breath left the wooden box, it has been lingering around Bai Xiuqi.It seems to be spinning around.Bai Xiuqi seemed to be affected by it, and couldn't help laughing. At the same time, his hands became more and more forceful, and he pried the wooden box open two or three times.

A gust of cold wind came from nowhere, blowing away the waste rice paper stuffed in the box.The "real guy" hidden in it was revealed—it turned out to be a pottery beast as tall as half a man, with sharp horns on its head and wings on its back.It has scales on its body.For a while, I couldn't see what kind of monster it was.

After all, Bai Xiuqi has seen a lot, and soon realized that this is a tomb-suppressing pottery beast.

Could it be this guy who caused the trouble?

Bai Xiuqi was about to take a closer look, when suddenly the aura surrounding him returned to the tomb-slayer beast.Immediately afterwards, an unbelievable scene happened—the original hard and cold pottery beast turned into a living creature!

within seconds.The tomb-suppressing beast, which was originally only half a person tall, has grown two or three times in size. It scratched the ground lightly with its claws, and rushed towards Bai Xiuqi!

Bai Xiuqi didn't know why he didn't dodge, the Tomb Slayer just threw him down on the snow.What came next was not the pain of being torn or bitten.It's moist and soft to the touch.

"..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, he dared to be sure - he was actually being licked by this grave-slayer beast.

What's the situation now?Are they really familiar?

Being overwhelmed, Bai Xiuqi tried to push the tomb-slayer beast away from her body.But that big monster is really amazing in brute force.It seems that I won't let it go without licking Bai Xiuqi from beginning to end.

And when this person and beast were entangled, a figure suddenly ran out from the corridor on the second floor, and when he saw the movement in the yard clearly, he shouted: "Xiaobai——!!!"

Bai Xiuqi knew it was Jiang Chenglu's voice as soon as he heard it, and immediately knew that something was wrong.But he hadn't had time to look up.I felt the power that was pressing on me suddenly disappear.

The Graveslayer began to be angry and violent again. It opened its mouth full of fangs, and its roar echoed throughout the yard.

for a moment.More than half of the soul fires up and down in the Xuanjing apartment were extinguished, and some timid soul fires even let out a creepy scream.

"Why are you telling people not to watch TV!?"

Xiao Hong in the bathroom poked her head out dissatisfied.But he retracted his head after only one glance.Le Yaochun also looked out through the glass window of the Taobao shop.

"I'm fine!"

Bai Xiuqi hurriedly stood up from the snow and explained loudly.But Jiang Chenglu couldn't care less - because the tomb-suppressing beast jumped up and rushed towards the second floor.

This time, of course, it couldn't be a friendly hug.

Of course Jiang Chenglu was prepared and dodged to avoid the attack of the beast.

However, the mobility of four legs is better than that of two legs after all. Almost at the moment of landing, the beast jumped up again...

This time, Jiang Chenglu was not so relaxed.

The right arm that was blocked in front of him instinctively was tightly bitten, but fortunately the winter clothes were thick enough, so it didn't seem to cause any actual damage.

Seeing that the beast had no intention of letting go, Jiang Chenglu could only swing his arm vigorously, and threw it under the base of the wall two or three times.

The beast stood up quickly with a "woo", shook off the wall dust that fell on its body, and then rushed into the utility room with Jiang Chenglu.

The sound of impact and landing is simply heart-pounding!

The expanding spiritual power was constantly clashing and vibrating in the narrow space, as if a pot had exploded in the room.The glass wine bottles placed in the corner waiting to be exchanged for money exploded one after another, and then even the window glass was shattered into thousands of pieces, flying towards the outside.

Bai Xiuqi, who rushed to the door, hurriedly gestured in the air, and the glass flying towards him suddenly fell to the ground.

After confirming that the walls of the apartment were not seriously damaged, he looked into the room again, and saw Jiang Chenglu holding Tao Beast's head firmly, looking to suppress it with all his strength.

"Go away quickly and get a rope!" Jiang Chenglu raised his head and saw Bai Xiuqi, and hurriedly made a request.

But Bai Xiuqi didn't do it right away - a bold hypothesis appeared in his head from just now, and now he decided to try it out.

"do not move!"

Bai Xiuqi still stood where he was, and said these two words towards the struggling tomb-slayer beast.

A wonderful thing happened again, the ferocious pottery beast stopped struggling immediately, lying on the ground docilely, looking up at Bai Xiuqi with two copper bell-sized eyeballs.

Jiang Chenglu also stared at Bai Xiuqi with wide eyes.
