Chapter 78
My scalp went numb when I heard this. I never thought that there would be such a terrifying and cruel thing. 0
"Where's that man-in-law?" He Sheng was more concerned about this issue.
"That ghost husband didn't expect that he would harm her like this. After being stimulated, he would become a demon." The mother-in-law sighed heavily," Of course, he was quickly captured by the people of Sheol. As for what punishment he received in the end, it's not within my ability. "And to be honest, it's just that the people who got married are in a rather miserable state. The rest of the situation can be said to be strange, but the outcome is not good."
No wonder her mother-in-law always said that people were different. Even when He Sheng and I had started to like each other, she still had extra worries about me.
It turned out that she was really worried about me because she had seen too many examples of failure.
Such an underworld marriage should be the will of ghosts. After all, there were very few people like me who could accept it.
However, my own situation was quite special, so I was able to get to this point with He Sheng.
"Grandma, you're too worried." He Sheng shared a similar view with me." The situation between Shi Yin and me is completely different from the one you mentioned."
"It's only now that Shi Yin' ve accepted you that you dare to argue." Her mother-in-law returned to the way she had been fighting with him before." You've naturally treated her well now, but at first, I do n' t know who's going all out."
"Forget it, Grandma. But I don't want to stop you from using the past." He Sheng smiled and said," What happened in the past has already passed. At the very least, we are very happy now. Isn't it Shi Yin?"
He stretched out a hand towards me, as if he wanted to drag me into his embrace. At the same time, he looked at me with a low expression, as if he wanted to hear my affirmative answer.
Actually, it would be fine if it was normal, but now that He Dao Ba was present, I couldn't let go.
As a result, I embarrassedly knocked off his hand that reached for me." I don't have time to play a scoundrel with you."
He Sheng face changed and pretended to sigh.
Her mother-in-law smiled and He Dao Ba also smiled.
Afterwards, even He Sheng and I started laughing together. All the previous questions about emotions seemed to become clearer at this moment.
We stopped talking and rested for a while before leaving the room.
"I wonder if we'll take the wrong path."
Not long after I walked out of the room, I found that there were many paths in the tomb.
I was afraid that we would get lost.
"In any case, the way we're going now is definitely not the one we' ve just taken, so don't worry." He Sheng comforted me.
"That's right. It's fine. Anyway, we need to explore every place. As long as we don't return on our way back, we do n' t have to go wrong."
He Dao Ba seemed to come with an inquisitive attitude, and his words were downplayed.
We walked forward for a while and soon arrived at another fork.
"Is this going left or right?" He Sheng asked.
"The last time was to the right." Grandma said," This time, why don't you go to the left first?"
I felt that they were a little too casual. However, He Dao Ba said that no matter how you choose in the tomb, you wouldn't know what would happen next.
We walked to the left side of the road. We didn't go far but found a place with a door.
"I'm finally lucky." He Sheng said.
The few roads that he had chosen earlier were either dead ends or he had walked over and found nothing. He had to return to the original road.
It seemed that we had really chosen the right one this time.
Since they were here, we had to investigate this place.
The door was made of bronze and had been damaged for a long time, but the lock on the door was still very sturdy.
"How do I open it?" I was a little discouraged." We don't have any keys at all."
"Try this." He Dao Ba took out a dagger and threw it to He Sheng." Young man, do me a favor."
"Young man, I like this title." He Sheng took the dagger with a smile. When she passed me, she whispered," It's much better than a little brat."
He Sheng stepped forward and tried to pry open the lock. Unexpectedly, the moment the knife touched the lock cylinder, I heard a "whoosh" sound above my head.
"Get down." Grandma almost dragged me to the ground.
At the same time, I heard a whizzing sound coming from above my head.
The sound lasted for about five minutes before it stopped. After confirming that there was no hidden danger, I carefully stood up.
The two sides of the tomb that was close to the bronze gate were already filled with the arrows that had just been shot out.
"It's so close." I was a little scared. If my mother-in-law hadn't stopped me in time, I would have become a dead soul under an arrow.
I saw He Dao Ba stand up carefully from the side, and He Sheng had already hid to the side.
It seemed like I had the slowest reaction in the entire team. In the future, I had to strengthen my defenses.
"It should be the defensive mechanism set up by those who cultivate this tomb." He Dao Ba said affirmatively," Either the people buried here don't want us to disturb them, or there's something important inside."
"Then we have to go in and take a look." He Sheng sounded a little hopeful.
"There seems to be no obvious mechanism on this door." The mother-in-law looked around and said.
"Definitely." He Sheng was quite certain," If not, where did those arrows come from?"
As he spoke, he jumped up and floated to the top of the door.
"The top of the door is a little strange." He observed and said," The top row seems to be missing two copper nails."
"Did those arrows come from there?" He Dao Ba speculated.
He Sheng observed carefully for a while and shouted," Uncle He, you're right. Those arrows came from here."
He floated down from the top of the door and slowly fell back to the ground.
"Although it's easy to find the mechanism for firing arrows, I still do n' t know how to get there." He Sheng looked at us for help.
From the looks of it, he didn't know more about the matter in the tomb than He Scarface.
"Although I didn't go to many tombs, generally speaking, this kind of door mechanism is n' t far from the arrow mechanism." Grandma said.
He Sheng lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking, but I noticed that the arrow closest to me seemed a little different from the other arrows.
"Did you see that arrow?" I asked," Did something hang on its handle?"
He Sheng immediately ran over to confirm it and took that thing off the handle of the arrow.
It was a copper nail.
