"Zhou Cang, the beeswax coffin is moving. Is there another golden python inside?"
"Giant python, giant python~"
As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, two more echoes came.
This time I heard it clearly, the echo came from the beeswax coffin.
At this time, I had a vague feeling that the source of the echo was coming from the beeswax coffin.
Xiangyu must have also come forward, grabbing my arm hard, his eyes wide open, and his eyes fell on my face.
I made a silent movement towards Xiangyu, and then I quickly thought about what to do.
Is the echo coming from the beeswax coffin coming from the woman standing behind the window sill just now?
Since she lit a lamp to bring us into this room, she must have had other purposes than just hiding in the beeswax coffin and playing tricks.
Secondly, if we say that the echo came from her, there are some things that don’t make sense. For example, before we went to the attic, the sound of the conversation with Xiangyu downstairs was very small. She was hiding in the attic.
It is impossible to hear our conversation in the coffin, so where do those echoes come from? Unless she has a good ear.
Just when I stood there, hesitating and not knowing whether to move forward or back, the lid of the beeswax coffin, which had been shaking just now, suddenly slowly moved to the side, and not long after, a gap appeared.
At the same time, a faint fragrance floated out of the beeswax coffin. This smell is very familiar to me. It is the fragrance that has always filled the ancient temple.
Xiangyu moved closer to me, covering her mouth with her other hand and staring motionlessly at the slowly moving coffin lid.
I stood next to her and could clearly feel her breathing slowly becoming faster.
Suddenly, the "thing" in the beeswax coffin exerted force and lifted the entire coffin lid.
At the same time, the tungsten lamp hanging in the center of the room under the attic also went out.
The room was dark, with only the moonlight outside shining in through the carved door, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground.
"Ah~"
Xiangyu yelled, let go of the hand that was holding my arm, and took several steps back.
We were originally at the entrance to the attic at the end of the wooden ladder. Xiangyu was so frightened that she choked on the next few steps. Without any mental preparation, her last step was missed. The imbalance of her center of gravity made her
Lean your whole body back.
"Xiangyu," I shouted, stretched out my right hand and lunged forward.
However, it was still too late, Xiangyu had already rolled down the stairs.
At this time, I felt that the thing in the beeswax coffin seemed to stand up. Anyway, I saw a dark thing with long hair out of the corner of my eye, but there was too much space in the room.
It was dark, and under this situation, I had no energy to take care of other things. I only cared about whether Xiangyu had fallen or not.
Therefore, I didn't pay attention to what exactly was climbing out of the beeswax coffin. I just rushed to the top of the stairs in one stride, and then jumped down in three steps. After only three jumps, I got down to the attic.
Xiangyu was still rolling on the ground. I hurriedly ran to her side and hugged Xiangyu.
"Xiangyu, Xiangyu, how are you? Are you injured anywhere?" I asked eagerly to Xiangyu who was half lying in my arms.
"Zhou Cang, I, I'm fine, I'm fine, hurry up, run." Xiangyu opened his eyes, but looked behind me, and said with a look of horror.
Hearing what Xiang Yu said, I couldn't help but look back.
Oh my god, this look really scared my insides out.
Behind me, stood a woman with long hair. The woman grinned and stared straight at us with a pair of empty eyes.
This is nothing, but the most disgusting thing is that there is a small red four-legged snake lying on the woman's face at the moment, with its long tail hanging down on her neck.
"Zhou Cang, run, run." Xiang Yu struggled to stand up, pulling me along, and then ran outside.
Being pulled by Xiang Yu, I came to my senses in an instant and fled out of the house.
But when we ran to the carved wooden door, we found that the door had been locked from the outside at some point. No matter how hard I tried inside, I couldn't open the door.
At this time, a "giggle" laughter came from behind me.
Wait a minute, why is this voice so familiar? It seems like I have seen it somewhere.
"Zhou Cang, she is the woman crawling on the ground in the ancient temple, no, that man." Xiangyu took my hand and stood sideways behind me, her whole body almost pressed against mine, trembling.
said.
"Xiangyu, are you saying that the woman who has been following us in the ancient temple came to this Sanpu Mountain Sanatorium?"
"I fought against him, and I remember his appearance. It's him." Xiang Yu's voice was filled with tears, and her hands were shaking violently.
"Didn't the ancient temple in Wawu Mountain collapse due to a landslide? Why was he still able to run to this Sanpu Mountain Sanatorium?" I said, not daring to take my eyes away from the long-haired woman who was still standing there and grinning at us.
"That's right, I climbed out, and climbed into the Sangpu Mountain." The woman suddenly stopped smiling, and then said.
Xiangyu and I were frightened by the sudden sound and took a step back in unison.
"Zhou Cang, do you think why this voice sounds so familiar?" Xiangyu whispered, still holding my arm and not daring to let go.
"I also feel very familiar, but I can't seem to remember who it is." I said, and then I immediately remembered who it was, "No, I know who it is? But how is this possible?"
I almost said to myself.
"Zhou Cang, he, he, he, he," it was obvious that Xiangyu also thought about it. She was so shocked that she couldn't even hold her tongue straight, and couldn't utter a complete sentence intermittently.
"Hahaha, it seems that my status is quite high in your minds. With just one sentence, you all remembered me." The long-haired woman said, and laughed loudly again.
"Professor Wang, if it's you, then we can be regarded as former teammates even if we are not friends. Why did you deliberately lead us here and scare us with all your tricks? When you fell into the abyss,
It was a complete accident and has nothing to do with us." Although I was still scared to death in my heart, the words I spoke out were sonorous and powerful, without any trace of fear.
"It has nothing to do with you, giggling, giggling, in the ancient temple, how many times have you shot me to death because you were afraid of being dragged down by me." Wang Zhishui took a step forward, with a fierce look on his face.
"When did we shoot? It was Zhang Jisheng, and we don't know his identity." Xiangyu also plucked up the courage and shouted at Zhang Jisheng.
"Okay, even if the shooting has nothing to do with you, then, how many times have I wanted to recognize you, but one or two of you have to kill me. You can't excuse yourself from this, right?"
Wang Zhishui's voice was obviously raised, and the anger in his words could be heard.
"In the environment at that time, and you appeared like this, we would naturally regard you as a monster living in the ancient temple, or the guardian beast of the ancient temple, so it is normal for us to attack you." I said.
He explained softly, taking a step back involuntarily.
"Anyway, if I become like this, you won't have a good time. Neither of you two can even think of leaving this house today." Wang Zhishui said fiercely.
"The person who called me was not Professor Chen, but you, because the radiation from the abyss changed your appearance and voice, but gave your facial features more refined functions, so you can see clearly in the dark.
Objects can hear the tiniest sounds, so they can hide in beeswax coffins and imitate our voices to create echoes, right?" I said.
"Zhou Cang, you are still so smart, and you are right." Wang Zhishui looked at us with a pair of empty eyes and said.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want the astrolabe."
"Don't even think about it." I said without hesitation.
"Then don't blame me for being rude." Wang Zhishui said and pounced on him with all his teeth and claws.
When I saw this, I immediately regretted my unguarded words just now and found a way out for myself.
Just when I thought I was dead, a woman's voice came from the attic.
