Tomb Robber: I am Hu Bayi’s cousin

Hu Ming directed several people to look ahead at the door leading to the front hall.

On a pair of pillars in front of the door hang two couplets carved out of wooden boards.

It was covered with fungus-like mold. After wiping away the dirt on it, the contents of the couplet came into view.

Already, Yanran is playing a triumphant song, but I am still thinking about Qufu and singing poems in a low voice.

These are two very common couplets, which roughly mean that the owner of this courtyard has military merit and is a soldier.

The undercurrent at the bottom of the lake became more and more rapid at this time. In the perception of several people, the center of the undercurrent was obviously deep in this ancient building.

This made Wu Xie somewhat uneasy. The water flow became more and more rapid, which meant that the resistance became greater when they returned the same way.

In addition, more than half of their oxygen has been consumed, and this situation is really not good.

But ahead, Hu Ming and his brother had already passed through the portal and entered the ancient building deeper.

The fat man, on the other hand, rubbed his hands together and followed the two of them enthusiastically, without any worry at all.

Seeing this, Wu Xie sighed slightly, gave up the idea of ​​persuading the three of them, and swam over.

Having already found this place, how could we be willing to just return without success without digging out some useful information?

At this time, Hu Ming, who was walking at the front, had already followed the corridor to the door of a front hall and stopped here, waiting for the people behind him.

The front building has been soaked in water for many years, and most of it has rotted away. Only the frame made of specially treated wood remains intact.

According to the habits of the Han people in the past, the front hall of a wealthy family must have plaques, spiritual tablets and other things in the attic. These things will inevitably reveal some information about the owner.

Of course, Hu Ming knew that this was the building on the ancient Zhang family building, and that those people once lived here.

There must be no such thing as a spiritual tablet attic here. The deceased ancestors of the Zhang family, spiritual tablets and other things are all buried underground!

However, Hu Ming did find an almost rotten plaque in the front hall.

The specific content on it can no longer be seen clearly. After wiping off the attachments, only the signature on the lower right side is still clear.

The owner of the Zhang family!

These are the only words that can be vaguely read on it. They are very beautiful calligraphy written in thin gold with profound skills.

He casually threw the plaque to Wu Xie who was coming from behind. No matter how complicated Wu Xie's inner activities were when he saw this thing, he continued to move along the corridor.

The source of the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, the entrance to the first underground floor of Zhangjia Ancient Building, is not far ahead.

After swimming in the corridor for about five minutes, a few people walked through the long and narrow corridor and walked around to the back hall.

The door to the back hall was locked with a rusty lock, and there were no windows around it for people to enter.

Seeing this, Hu Ming turned over his hand and took out his sword. He didn't care that the current patriarch of the Zhang family was in front of him. He violently cut off the lock and pushed open the door.

The back hall was empty except for some necessary furniture items.

And these furniture items have already rotted into balls after balls of floc.

The light of the diving light lit up the back hall, and in the corner of the back hall, a human-shaped shadow suddenly appeared!

"That"

Wu Xie and Fatty swam in behind Hu Ming. When they saw the shadow at first sight, their hearts tightened.

"Be patient and don't be impatient."

Hu Ming shook his head and gestured to the two of them not to be nervous.

At the same time, adjust the focus of the diving light to illuminate the shadowed parts.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a screen standing in the corner of the back hall.

I don’t know what material the screen is made of, but it shows no signs of decay and is still intact.

Looking from a distance, the shadow just now seems to be a scroll on the screen.

But upon closer inspection, Wu Xie's scalp suddenly felt numb.

The screen is clearly blank. Is there any scroll somewhere?

That figure was clearly reflected from something behind the screen!

Subconsciously, Wu Xie took a few steps back, facing the strange looks from Hu Ming and the others without changing his expression.

The powerful light of the diving light penetrates downwards, and the figure behind is quite clear.

What makes people's hair stand on end is that the figure's posture is unusually strange.

The whole figure just stood upright in the back, and its shoulders were collapsed!

For the first time, Wu Xie suddenly remembered the ghost he saw in the wooden building of Agui's house on the first night he came to Yao Village!

If he wasn't in the water, Wu Xie might not have gasped subconsciously.

After Wu Xie saw this shadow of slumped shoulders once, he was deeply impressed and would never forget it.

Take a closer look.

".GuluGulu cough cough"

Wu Xie's back felt cold, and he subconsciously wanted to spit out the fragrance to vent the horror in his heart, but when he opened his mouth, lake water mixed with countless unknown floating objects poured into his mouth.

Wu Xie couldn't care about this at this time. He swallowed a big mouthful of lake water with difficulty, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and his eyes widened.

This screen, this ghost, this environment

It is clearly the image in the photo that Brother Chu gave to Wu Xie before!

Where is the Gerwood Sanatorium? That photo was clearly taken here!!!

In particular, whether it was an illusion or not, Wu Xie always felt that the shadow seemed to be floating in place, like a living thing.

What is this thing? The humanoid-like monster we encountered before?

No, that thing's shoulders are not slumped.

Could it be that it's a water ghost? But

Seeing Hu Ming pouting, Wu Xie was a little confused.

After being together for such a long time, Wu Xie already understood the meaning of some of Hu Ming's little actions.

What does puckering mean? This thing is not threatening?

I saw Hu Ming swimming through the water with his flippers, grabbing the screen, and throwing it out.

"..Gulu gulu, cough cough..."

Wu Xie's face instantly turned green not because he lost control of his emotions and drank a lot of dirty water twice in a row, but because he felt that his feelings had been deceived.
