I carefully pushed the rock onto the sunken floor tile and the water elementalist's feet successfully moved out. The hidden weapon holes on both sides didn't shoot anything strange, so I immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the water elementalist's grip tightened and he grabbed me by the waist and lunged forward.
Thump!
We fell heavily to the ground, and he protected me firmly under his body. I turned around and saw smoke and dust billowing. The two-meter-wide stone roof we were standing on just now fell down. I was so scared that my chest was thumping. I had clearly seen it just now, and there was nothing abnormal.
The water elementalist seemed to have noticed my frustration and comforted me."That's a double mechanism. Once the first one is broken, the second one will automatically activate.”
"Since you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?”I grumbled.
He wiped the corner of my eyes with the back of his hand and explained,"I didn't know at first, but I only noticed it the moment the stone slab fell off.”
"Fortunately, you're a water ghost and not a ghost from an ancient tomb.”I murmured.
"Now that you mention it, I'll have to study these mechanisms properly. I'll have to install them when I go back.”
"Why do you need to install these?"
"To prevent others from stealing the treasure, of course."
I thought about it and realized that I don't have many treasures at home. Moreover, I know that there are water ghosts in Qin Shui Bay. Who had nothing better to do than to swim to the bottom of a ghost's lake to steal treasures?
He teased him,"There's nothing valuable. Who would steal it?"”
"There is a priceless treasure," he replied solemnly.”
I'm not happy. There's actually a priceless treasure that I don't know about. You hid so much money behind my back, and you still dare to say it so confidently.
"What is it?" I asked with a straight face.
"The bride of the water ghost," he said mysteriously.”
My heart immediately bloomed with joy. There was no other way. My position would often change because of his words or actions.
I pursed my lips and chuckled." Don't talk nonsense. If you don't find the bead, you won't be able to get your priceless treasure back."”
Following us, we got up and continued to walk inside. At the end of the cave, two tomb passages appeared. The atmosphere in the left and right tomb passages was completely different. It should look warm while the other one looked cold. The flame on the left was dark yellow, like an oil lamp. The light on the right was green, similar to the ghost fire outside the cave.
Here, I couldn't help but want to walk to the left. This was an instinctive reaction of my body. Even though both sides were eerie and terrifying, the warm color on the left made me feel more at ease. However, the water elementalist's first reaction was to go to the right. His toes were already leaning in that direction. He didn't go over because of my choice.
Even such a small action made me realize the huge gap between us. It seemed that he was accommodating me many times. We are not a like-minded couple.
" Hubby, I…" I hesitated.
"Go to the left first. The oil lamp is most likely an eternal lamp. It's probably the place that leads to the main tomb.”he said.
I turned my head to look at the right side of the catacomb. The creepy feeling was very uncomfortable. Perhaps water elementalists felt that it was more comfortable there.
"Do you want to go to the right?" I asked him.
"I'm just curious." He paused and said," We have to find Concubine Xi quickly and leave this place. The Yin energy here is too strong. Your body won't be able to take it."”
Even though he said so, I could still vaguely feel a trace of regret in his eyes. After cultivating for 500 years, it would be beneficial for him to see more demons and ghosts. Although I, as a human, didn't understand their behavior, it was probably his hobby as a ghost. Speaking of which, ever since we got married, he has basically been accompanying me. Even when he was cultivating his heart, his heart was in turmoil.
I began to wonder if our marriage had deprived him of his ideals and joy.
Looking at his back view, my heart ached. I can't give him an equal price. I have nothing. I can't even crack a mechanism.
Boom!
A stone door in front of me opened, interrupting my thoughts.
There was an empty chamber inside the stone door, and there was another stone door at the other end of the chamber.
The water elementalist held my hand and we entered the empty tomb chamber one after another. There was nothing inside, and there were no traces of any traps. So we carefully walked forward until we reached the stone door at the end. The stone door opened automatically.
After passing through this stone door, there was still an empty tomb room. There was another stone door opposite. We passed through three empty chambers, and there was another identical stone door on the other side.
"Are we lost, or are we going in circles?”I said.
The water elementalist stopped and looked up at the ceiling of the tomb. I looked up like him, but I couldn't see anything.
"Yin Qi is seeping out from the crack in the ceiling.”He pointed to the upper right corner.
"In that case, what could be there?”
"Yes."
We slowly approached the corner of the wall. He reached out and pushed the wall of the tomb.
Whoosh--
The two walls were like automatic doors, slowly shrinking back to the sides. A magnificent hall appeared in front of us. It was as luxurious as a palace.
We were just walking in a dimly lit place. The golden light here dazzled me.
The water elementalist whispered into my ear,"Follow me closely and don't touch anything inside.”
I gulped and nodded stiffly.
Actually, I really wanted to touch those shiny golden things. Every one of them was so exquisite. For example, if the golden screen in the middle of the hall was moved back and placed outside the bedroom, it would definitely be high-end. There was also that golden vase, which was so delicate that even the veins of the leaves were carved out.
"Hubby, shouldn't we change the sandalwood screen at home? And shouldn't we get rid of the blue and white porcelain vase in the study?”I softly asked the water elementalist.
"You're a snake that swallows an elephant, silly wife.”Water Elementalist paused for a moment before saying," If you were to move all these back, I would really have to install an anti-theft mechanism.”
I pursed my lips. It wasn't true. I couldn't even say it.
We went around the screen and up a few steps until we saw a beaded curtain. Behind the curtain was a corridor with a large incense burner. The corridor led to the left and right, and there were rooms on both sides.
Before coming here, the water elementalist chose to follow me to the left. This time, I pointed to the right in advance. Although I know that the nature is different, I want to do my best to balance his heart.
On the right side of the corridor was a guest room. There was a quaint red carpet in the middle of the room, and a set of armchairs and tea seats were neatly placed on both sides. There were a few expensive calligraphy and paintings hanging on the two walls, and gold, silver, and jade ornaments of various sizes were displayed on the shelves.
Even the guest room was so gorgeous, but it was still not likable. Because it was a place where the dead lived, there were no windows.
We exited the guest room and walked to the left side of the corridor.# Review: 1314mx Time:013120191: 48PM #
