Chapter 34 The Knocking in the Tomb

Lantern Festival hurried forward, and we both tried our best, and we pushed open a gap in the gate of the Niangniang Temple. Through the gap, we saw the light coming out from the inside.

And with the light, we saw the latch behind the door being plugged in.

Yuanxiao was stunned, "What? Is there someone inside? Otherwise, why would the door latch be inserted?" As he said that, Yuanxiao lay on the door and looked inside through the crack of the door.

Just as Lantern Festival was watching, a sudden eye flashed out of the door.

Yuanxiao was caught off guard, screamed "ah", sat on the ground, rolled and crawled back several steps, pointed at the door and shouted, "There is one eye!! There is one eye!!"

I was also shocked and raised my knife in an instant, thinking that I don’t care what you are, as long as you dare to be bad for us, I will give you a knife first!

And just then, I heard a soft scream inside the door, which made me feel a little whispered, "Are the things inside the door also scared?"

I also plucked up my courage and turned to the crack in the door and looked inside. I was stunned. I saw Ma Jun standing behind the door with panic on his face. I cursed in my heart, "It's so scary!"

I turned to Lanxiao and said, "It's okay, it's still Ma Jun inside!"

After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao got up from the ground, "Damn! md!" Yuanxiao rushed to the door and pushed the temple door hard, "Ma Jun! Open the door quickly!"

I saw Ma Jun in the crack of the door and seemed to be very nervous. He had no intention of going forward to open the door. I reached out to stop Yuanxiao, who was about to smash the door, "Don't do this, he was so scared that he didn't dare to open the door!"

Lanxiao then stopped and whispered: "This crazy man!"

I glanced at Yuanxiao, "He was a crazy person." At this time, I heard the strange sounds coming from all sides more obvious. I looked at the darkness on both sides. Although I couldn't see anything, I always felt that there were a lot of things hidden there.

I didn't dare to neglect any more, and I advised Ma Jun through the crack in the door, "Uncle Ma, I am Zhuoran, you are the nephew of your second brother Zhuo, we've seen it outside just now!"

Yuanxiao came over and said, "Think about it, you also ate the ham sausage and bread we gave you, and you also smoked my cigarette!"

Ma Jun seemed to remember some of it, his expression on his face calmed down, but his eyes still seemed a little dull.

I felt the sounds around me getting closer and closer. At this moment, I was anxious, but I still suppressed my anxiety and persuaded Ma Jun with kind words.

Finally, Ma Jun walked over slowly and looked at me through the crack in the door, "Are you the eldest nephew?" I nodded quickly, and Ma Jun looked at Lantern Festival again, "You?" Lantern Festival pointed at me, "I am your eldest nephew's good brother, we are together!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lantern Festival finished speaking, Ma Jun's face changed and he turned around and was about to leave. I quickly stopped him, "Hey! Uncle Ma! Don't leave, he was wrong, he, he is his grandson!"

After hearing what I said, Yuanxiao immediately poked me from the back, "What are you talking about?" I waved my hands repeatedly and asked him to shut up.

After hearing what I said, Ma Jun turned around and walked back, looked at me, and looked at Lantern Festival again, "Nephew? Grandson?"

I quickly nodded, and Yuanxiao nodded with amused and crying.

In this way, under the excited eyes of the two of us, the Ma Jun finally opened the door. We quickly stepped in and quickly inserted the door again! I looked out through the crack of the door. The tomb passage was pitch black and I could see nothing. But I could hear some strange sounds still lingering around.

I quickly withdrew my gaze, and I really didn't want to see that kind of "unexpected" picture.

The three of us returned to the main hall in the temple. The half of the candle was still burning. Although we had not escaped at this time, it should be safe at least for a short time. Yuanxiao and I sat on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although we are not sure whether things happened according to a certain period of time as I inferred, we now have time to think and prepare for countermeasures, and I think the horse army must have much more knowledge about this place than we know.

I pointed to the candle on the Buddha's celestial, "Did you lit this?"

Ma Jun nodded, and I continued to ask, "When we passed by here just now, we only saw the candles, but we didn't see you."

Ma Jun pointed a rough direction with his hands, "I went there and took a look. I have to come back before those things come out!"

Yuanxiao and I drank some water and ate some things. I handed it to Ma Jun and asked him, "Do you know there is something outside?"

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, then nodded nervously.

I continued, "Do you know what's going on outside?"

Ma Jun swallowed what was in his mouth and whispered to us: "Those are all people who live here!"

As soon as Ma Jun finished speaking, Yuanxiao didn't swallow a sip of water, and all spewed out. Yuanxiao wiped her mouth and said, "Damn! Can you still call someone? No living people live in this place!"

I was also cold all over by Ma Jun's words.

I asked Ma Jun if he often came here. Ma Jun nodded, "Second brother asked me to come here often to see!"

"My second uncle asked you to come?" Every time I mentioned my second uncle, I would be a little excited, "What did he ask you to come?"

Ma Jun bit the food in his hand and said while chewing: "Second brother, let me see if the city gate is opened."

"City Gate?" Yuanxiao asked, "How can there be a city gate? You are talking crazy again." Yuanxiao looked at me, "Zhuoran, I see if you ask him, you can't ask anything. We should make plans for ourselves."

When Ma Jun heard the words of Lanxiao, he rolled his eyes and argued: "There is a city gate! Of course there is a city gate! It's inside!"

I didn't seem to be talking nonsense when Ma Jun said, "You mean, someone has not only built a street here, but even built a city gate?"

Ma Jun nodded firmly. Yuanxiao also showed a surprised expression, "I'll go, this tomb owner is playing simulation city, and it's all the same thing!"

Sure enough, this situation is similar to what I thought. There is a reason why Ma Jun was left here by my second uncle. I am afraid that there is a reason why Uncle Second, and even the ancestors of the Zhuo family, stayed around this ancient tomb.

I quickly asked Ma Jun, "Why are you staring at the city gate?"

Ma Jun's expression was a little strange this time. He sat next to me and Yuanxiao and said mysteriously: "From here, you will be the Rakshasa City under the jurisdiction of the King of Hell. All the lonely ghosts of all sizes live in it! Once the city gate is opened, all the ghosts there will be run out! So my second brother asked me to stare at it!"

Yuanxiao smiled, "What's the use of letting you stare at me? You are not Sun Wukong!"

Ma Jun seemed to not like what Yuanxiao said, and gave him a blank look and said, "My second brother said that once he saw the city gate open, if he didn't come back, he would blow it up! Just like blowing up the underground house in the village at the foot of the mountain!"

My heart suddenly sank. I don’t know what my second uncle’s purpose is, but there must be some secret hidden in this ancient tomb.

Of course, it is definitely not the saying of the lonely ghost in Rakshasa City. It must have been made up by the Second Uncle to fool the Ma Jun. The Second Uncle is sometimes very bold, but sometimes he is very cautious. He must not say anything he can say, and he knows very well.

I looked at Ma Jun and asked, "You often come here alone, aren't you afraid?"

Ma Jun nodded, "I was a little scared at first, but my second brother said that as long as I light this candle, it would be fine!" I also wanted to continue asking about information from Ma Jun, but after all, he still had some mental problems. Is it difficult to concentrate? After that, I asked him a few more questions, and he said it was so wrong that he didn't know what he was saying, so I could only give up.

Yuanxiao and I looked at each other, and Yuanxiao sighed, "I know why your Zhuo family has surrounded this ancient tomb for more than a hundred years. It's really too difficult."

I didn't say anything, but fell into thinking. Why did the Zhuo family bit such an ancient tomb? Is the tomb under the ancestral house the same as the tomb here? The most important thing is what the coffin and tablet in that tomb?

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Yuanxiao gently pushed me, "Would we want to find that city gate and take a look? Maybe we will find it."

I looked at Lanxiao and sneered, "Let's get out of our current situation first!"

"But..." Before the Lantern Festival could finish his words, we suddenly heard a knock on the door of the temple!

Yuanxiao and I were stunned at first. When we heard clearly what the sound was, our faces turned pale in an instant. Ma Jun suddenly retreated into the bottom of the Buddhist niche.

I asked Ma Jun in a low voice, "Have you encountered this situation before?"

Ma Jun shook his head in panic.

The knock on the door continued, and it was like a good-tempered friend coming to visit. However, in this quiet environment, every knock on the door made our heart tremble.

In the end, Yuanxiao couldn't sit still, held the sushi knife, put the flashlight into her arms, and slowly walked towards the door. At this time, I felt extremely nervous and fearful, but after gritting my teeth, I decided to go over and take a look with Yuanxiao.

Just as we walked out of the hall a few steps, the knock on the door suddenly stopped. The heart I kept holding was temporarily let go.

Yuanxiao looked at me and signaled whether to go over and see. I shook my head and pointed to the hall. Yuanxiao looked at the door, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked back!

I shook my head and sat down again, "I really didn't expect this to be like this. I really don't want to stay here anymore."
