Looking at the stone that came into view, Chu Yu took it out of the soil with trembling hands. He stared at the corner of the stone for a moment. Chu Yu carefully placed the stone on the ground, and then began to carefully remove the edges on the stone.
After wiping off the dirt for a while, a stone box engraved with various patterns appeared in front of Chu Yu's eyes.
The stone box was about a foot long and less than half a foot high. Putting the stone box on the ground, Chu Yu sat aside and looked at Huo Xiaoyao's remains - Huo Xiaoyao's last words were to dig a foot into the ground for a proper burial.
They dug three feet into the ground to find Huo Xiaoyao's remains, but unexpectedly this stone box appeared. This was Huo Xiaoyao's original intention.
Or is there another mystery? What's in the stone box? Is it a suicide note left by Huo Xiaoyao? Or a treasure map? Or a pill to improve his power? Thinking like this, Chu Yu put his hand on the stone box and placed his hand on the dark side.
Where he clicked the button, Chu Yu knew that as long as he applied a little force, he could see what was inside the stone box.
But Chu Yu stared at the stone box and hesitated - no matter who Huo Xiaoyao was, since his surname was Huo, he should be closely related to the Huo family in Xuanji City. What are the people of the Huo family good at, divination and prophecy, and the art of foreknowledge?
Chu Yu had already seen the mystery of the old cake seller outside Haoran Academy, so naturally he would not regard these as nonsense. From various previous signs, it can be seen that this Huo Xiaoyao is not an ordinary person. Since he is dead
Will there be no backup here?
At this moment, Chu Yu believed in his intuition. Since the stone box was hidden three feet underground by Huo Xiaoyao instead of one foot, it meant that Huo Xiaoyao had other deep meanings. But what was Huo Xiaoyao's test for?
Thinking like this, Chu Yu took back his hand on the stone box, even though at this moment he was very eager to see what was inside the stone box.
Chu Yu once again looked at the last words left by Huo Xiaoyao: If anyone comes, please bury the bones under this chair.
It is impossible to bury all the remains of Huo Xiaoyao under one foot of ground. If the visitor is perfunctory, he will naturally not dig deeper. If he digs deeper, he will find the stone box. After discovering the stone box, what will other people do?
?
Open the stone box and see what's inside.
In the face of huge curiosity and temptation, few people can remain indifferent.
Chu Yu, who had been learning killing skills in the Chu family since he was a child, had already made a decision in his mind when he thought of this - people die for money, and birds die for food. Sometimes if you want to live, you can only do your own thing well. The city is as deep as
Huo Xiaoyao should have a clear view of human nature. Since he didn't explain in advance that there was a stone box hidden underground, it was best not to touch the stone box in front of him.
Chu Yu began to speculate on Huo Xiaoyao's thoughts with the greatest malice. Then he placed the stone box in its original place again, and then began to bury Huo Xiaoyao's remains. When the last handful of soil was filled in, Chu Yu
Quietly looking at the slightly raised mound of soil in front of me, I felt a mixture of emotions in my heart.
After a hundred years of life, no matter how majestic and majestic you are during your lifetime, what if you are still just a pile of loess after your death?
Looking at the mound, Chu Yu couldn't help but think of the stone box. Would it be a pity if he didn't look at what was in the stone box? This thought just arose in Chu Yu's mind, and soon it became a prairie fire. He looked at the closed stone chamber.
, the desire in Chu Yu's heart began to swell - if the result of not being able to get out was to die here, why didn't he take a look at the contents of the stone box before dying?
Looking at the mound of earth, Chu Yu raised the dagger in his hand, but soon he suppressed the idea of digging out the stone box again - don't do good deeds because they are small, and don't do evil because they are small, Chu Yu said.
Yu thought of what the old man selling cakes said outside Bai's house. He was unhappy with the cycle of heaven's retribution. If he had been greedy at Bai's house at that time, he might have been buried in the yellow sand. Now he dug out the stone box again and shared it with those
What's the difference between Tomb Raiders?
God is watching what people are doing, these six words are like a basin of water pouring down from Chu Yu's head, suppressing the desires in Chu Yu's heart.
But how to get out?
After looking around, Chu Yu finally sat helplessly in front of the mound where Huo Xiaoyao was buried - although the surrounding stone walls were mottled and uneven, there were no gaps, just like a natural stone, watertight.
"You said you were dead, why did you drag me with you?" Chu Yu looked at the mound and complained bitterly. When he said this, Chu Yu unconsciously clenched his fist and hit the mound hard.
superior.
As Chu Yu's fist landed on the mound, he felt the mound shaking slightly. Soon the shaking turned into vibrations. Before Chu Yu could react, the entire stone chamber shook violently.
Chu Yu's body rolled uncontrollably along with the stone chamber.
Is the stone chamber going to collapse? Chu Yu, who had just had this thought in his mind, hit the stone wall as the stone chamber shook. Before he could react, the stone chamber returned to its original state. The difference was that a person appeared on one side of the stone chamber.
A secret passage that can only be passed by one person.
Seeing the secret passage, Chu Yu felt happy and quickly got up from the ground and ran over.
After squeezing through the secret passage, Chu Yu stepped into a stone room again. There was a bright night pearl inlaid in the sky above the stone room. The difference was that this stone room had a stone bed, a stone table, a stone bench, and even a pot of wine on the stone table!
There was also a stone box next to the wine pot. When he came to the stone table and looked at the words left on the stone table, Chu Yu became excited: Open the stone box.
At this moment, Chu Yu did not hesitate anymore and opened the stone box. Chu Yu saw the things inside the stone box: a pair of parchment scrolls, a white jade key, and a jade ring.
There is only a simple sentence on the parchment: Take off the luminous pearl, and you have half a minute to leave here.
Looking at the contents of the stone box, Chu Yu put the keys and rings in his pockets respectively. After glancing at the parchment, he hesitated for a moment and stuffed the parchment into his arms.
After doing all this, Chu Yu jumped up and grabbed the luminous pearl on the top of the stone chamber. As Chu Yu fell, the light in the stone chamber dimmed. Chu Yu, who had taken off the luminous pearl, touched the mechanism, and a stone door appeared on the side of the stone chamber. After the stone door opened,
, Chu Yu held the luminous pearl in his hand and ran along the stone path.
What does half a minute mean? At this moment, Chu Yu only had this question in his mind. Soon, he knew the answer - in just over twenty seconds, Chu Yu ran out of the stone road and came to the land.
, looking at the starry sky above his head, Chu Yu felt his feet shake, and the ground began to shake. In the blink of an eye, a deep pit with a radius of several hundred meters appeared behind Chu Yu. The pit was very deep.
The entire underground world collapsed.
Looking at the location, Chu Yu found that he was still in the high wall where Huo Yunhan had brought him before. He touched the things he took from the stone box, and Chu Yu's body quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after Chu Yu left, the Huo family came to the collapse area. Looking at the scene in front of them, the leading man began to call to inform them of the situation. Half an hour later, all the Huo family members received a message from Huo Xueman, the head of the Huo family.
Secret order - go find a young man named Chu Yu immediately, I want him to come to see me alive!
An hour later, everyone in the other four major families of the Chinese Alliance knew the name Chu Yu. Just when they were guessing who this little-known Chu Yu was and what grievances he had with the Huo family, another order came to them.
Shocking news came that the former residence of Huo Xiaoyao, the previous guardian of the alliance, collapsed.
