Well of Mystery

The collapse of the Duantang happened around one o'clock in the morning this morning—calculated, if Bai Xiuqi hadn't been delayed by Jiang Chenglu, it would just be able to catch up with the "live broadcast".

According to Su Zi's description, the ruins of Duantang have many similarities with the tomb pavilion that collapsed before - both of them were caused by the collapse of the foundation, which caused the entire building on the ground to fall into the tomb pit below.

It is precisely because of this that the most important tomb is now a mess.There is not enough manpower in the mausoleum area, and even people from Haotang Company have joined the cleaning and rescue team.

As for the tomb-suppressing beast that Bai Xiuqi is most concerned about, Su Zi said that no one has seen it yet.Once there is news, the "spy" he installed will report immediately.

"But I advise you not to get your hopes up too much. I think it was either destroyed or taken away."

"Take it away?" Bai Xiuqi frowned: "Don't you say that there is an eyeliner at the scene, will you notify me?"

"The notification was taken by the research institute in a fair and honest manner." Su Zi explained: "According to my judgment, your little monster was probably taken away when the tomb collapsed."

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help urging him: "...how do you know? Don't be foolish and tell me quickly."

"Because I was right there at the time."

Having said that, Su Zi on the other end of the phone yawned big.

------

Just a few hours ago, Su Zi, who was released by Bai Xiuqi, walked out of the guest house, but did not return home to rest.He slipped out of the family's apartment, took the night commuter bus of the research institute, and returned to Zhangling under the darkness of night.

What Bai Xiuqi said before was not wrong - he was indeed silently paying attention to the change in the mausoleum area, and from a certain point of view, he was even more concerned than Bai Xiuqi.

Because, after all, this is the body of oneself and that person.The place where they "sleep forever".

Of course, this is not just sentimental, there are more sufficient reasons - after all, the previous collapse of the tomb pavilion directly led to the replacement of the branch dean, if the same mistake happened again, Zhang Han would probably leave as well.

Once you leave, there will be another gap between clouds and mud, and it will not be so easy to meet again.

With this in mind, Su Zi sneaked into the mausoleum quietly.

Because of the earthquake in the afternoon.Tonight, Zhangling is no longer just a mass of darkness—the lighting facilities beside all roads have been turned on.From a distance, the museum looks like a jewelry box buried in the soil.

But hidden behind this rare "scenic scene" is a sense of tension on high alert.Zhang Han should still be sitting in the mausoleum supervisor's mansion, supervising the inventory of various cultural relics...

Relying on the familiarity with the mausoleum area.Su Zi nimbly avoided all the open areas where his whereabouts could be easily exposed, and came to the vicinity of Duantang smoothly.

From a distance, the old Xiangtang surrounded by yellow warning tapes is pitch black inside and out, and the mausoleum area employees on duty are wrapped in thick cotton coats and sit on chairs and take a nap—everything looks even more peaceful and stable than other places in the mausoleum area .

However, Su Zi became vigilant.

He stopped immediately.At the same time, he made a handprint, bit his fingertips and smeared the blood on his eyelids.

Like ripples on the surface of calm water, the scene in front of him began to distort.

The illusion of tranquility disappeared.The staff in charge of guarding passed out on the ground, the earthen wall collapsed, and the bricks and tiles on the hall were crackling and falling, making a crushing sound!

That's right.The peaceful Duantang just now is not reality, but a pot of heaven!

There is a person, a person with extremely deep cultivation, who created a pot of heaven that is exactly the same as the Duantang as a blindfold.Covers up the reality of what is happening!

Su Zi suddenly became nervous, he knew that with his current magic power.It is absolutely impossible to compete with people of this level.But after finding such an important clue with great difficulty, how could he just let it go? !

After a short thought, he decided to stay where he was.Even if they can't prevent what's going to happen next, at least they can figure out who caused this series of strange things.

At this moment, the movement in the Duantang has not stopped.It can be heard that there should be something fighting, and from time to time there are broken bricks and tiles, human grunts, and animal-like howls.

The tomb-suppressing beast that Bai Xiuqi mentioned had obviously been awakened, and it should be fighting the intruder at this moment.Su Zi reckoned that it was unlikely that she would be discovered, so she ran to the edge of the fence in one breath, and boldly raised her head to look inside.

There are indeed people, and there are more than one.

The distance is still too far, Su Zi still can't see the appearance of those two people clearly, but he can be sure that they are not ordinary people.They circled around in the courtyard behind Xiangtang, every movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to see the number of paths, occasionally accompanied by the dim light activated by the magic circle and the burning smoke of the spell.

And in the darkness, the two blood-like "red lights" were the most eye-catching—exactly the same as what Su Zi saw through the crack of the door a year ago, they were the eyes of the tomb-slayer beast!

With the previous experience, Su Zi originally thought that this was another battle between the tomb-suppressing beasts with one against two.However, he soon discovered that the situation was different. The Tomb Slayer seemed to be attacking only one of them!

How is this going?Knowing that Xiuqi is still asleep in the guest house, who else can make those beasts obey?

Is this person an enemy or a friend?

While thinking about it, there was another crackling sound in the hall.The man who was attacked by a man and a beast was obviously exhausted and defeated.He turned to run away, but just ran towards Su Zi's direction.

Uh, what should I do now?

Su Zi's instinctive reaction was to run away, but she was afraid of making a noise and throwing herself into the trap instead.He was in a dilemma when he saw that the man was already running close, so close that he could see his face clearly.

It was an unfamiliar face.

The visitor was in his early twenties, dressed in modern clothes, handsome and even wore a pair of glasses.Such a person seems to be more suitable for walking wearily in the office building, dealing with criticism and accusations from the middle-aged boss.To use the current popular vocabulary, it should be "community animals".

Right now, the "community animal" obviously also found Su Zi, the voyeur, and he slowed down a little.Then he suddenly increased his speed and rushed towards Su Zi!

Oops, this is being treated as an enemy!

There is no need to compare and judge anymore, Su Zi is sure that she can't beat this man, it seems that she can only feint two moves before looking for a chance to escape.

But just as he made up his mind, a golden light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes!

This is……

Su Zi sucked in a breath of cold air abruptly, and she was on the ground only one meter away from him.A towering "wall of fire" suddenly stood up.The golden-red flames were burning fiercely.In an instant, he and that person were separated on both sides.

This turned out to be "real fire"!

The legend from 2000 years ago immediately came to mind, but Su Zi didn't have time to think too much.By the barrier of the wall of fire.He quickly turned around and ran towards the outside, and ran 200 meters in one breath, only then did he hear the loud sound of the collapse of the Duantang from behind.

"Then I escaped from the mausoleum area in one breath, and I was worried that that guy would follow me all the way to my house. Instead, I would cause trouble for the landlord and neighbors, so I just found a place to spend the night."

Speaking of which.Su Zi yawned again: "When I went to look at it again this morning, Duantang became a ruin."

"It turned out that so many things happened. If I could be there..."

Bai Xiuqi couldn't help but began to complain about Jiang Chenglu again in his heart, and immediately began to move his hands: "You take a rest first, I'll be right over. One o'clock in the afternoon. Let's meet at Ximen."

Su Zi agreed, and the two finally ended the call.

After a while, Jiang Chenglu came in with two packed bowls of noodles.

"Xiaobai. Let's make do with something, and I'll make you stewed tonic when I get back... What. You want to go out?"

Bai Xiuqi didn't intend to hide it either: "I went to the mausoleum in the afternoon, something happened last night."

"I'll go as well."

"No, you forgot about the earthquake yesterday?" Bai Xiuqi refused without even thinking about it: "Stay here obediently, and only move when I tell you to move, or you'll go back to the apartment, do you hear me? "

"But I'm worried..."

"..."

It seems that reasoning is useless, Bai Xiuqi glared at Jiang Chenglu, and hooked his fingers to signal him to come over.Jiang Chenglu obeyed obediently, and what he got was a kiss on his lips.

"Be obedient, if I have anything, I will be the first to let you know."

________

About two hours later, at the entrance on the west side of the Tailing Mausoleum, Bai Xiuqi found Su Zi who was sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun.The two of them passed through the ticket gate and walked directly to the office area in the northwest direction.

According to Su Zi's introduction, early this morning, the hospital was tightly sealed off within [-] meters of several earthquake sites.Fortunately, it was the off-season, so there weren't many tourists on the road; in addition, the scenic spot had temporarily taken some diversion measures, and the road in front of me seemed much deserted than yesterday.

"Zhangyuan didn't come to the garden this morning. It is said that he was called by the people in the city to explain the situation urgently. But I thought it was wrong... The Mausoleum Research Institute is directly under the State Council. What about the people in the city? What's the matter?"

Su Zi said as she walked, basically three sentences along the way did not leave Zhang Han.After listening for a long time, Bai Xiuqi couldn't help teasing him: "Do you like Zhang Yuan?"

"Is it so obvious?!" Su Zi suddenly stopped and stared at him.

"It's actually okay. It's just because my family is also a man, so I will pay more attention to this aspect than others."

Bai Xiuqi told him not to be nervous first, and then remembered some details: "Speaking of which, Zhang Han not only gave you a job, but also sent you home in person, and asked me to bring you a message yesterday... Now that I think about it, he seems to be very nervous too. Care about you!"

Su Zi didn't answer, but bent her beautiful black eyes.Although he often laughed, Bai Xiuqi had never seen him smile so brightly and movingly.

In an instant, an idea popped up in Bai Xiuqi's mind.

"The two of you...couldn't be love at first sight, would you?"

"..."

Su Zi was about to answer, but at this moment, the mobile phone in his pocket issued a notification tone for a message.

The text message was sent by Chen Chao from the Law Enforcement Office, and there were only a few numbers on it, asking him to come to the mausoleum supervisor's mansion.

Now, immediately, immediately.

"I have an ominous premonition." Su Zi smiled wryly.
