Li Xiangling covered her nose and retreated to the wall." Su Li, why don't we go out first? It's too cold here, and the smell of the corpses can't escape. I can't breathe!"”
I had finished reading here. I should go out and find Li Changtian to understand the situation of the person on duty. This time I took the initiative to pull her hand to leave, but Li Xiangling deliberately avoided me and walked out alone.
This little Daoist nun's emotions were always like this, making it hard to fathom.
The light outside slowly dimmed, but why did I feel that it was still early when I first arrived? I only checked a few coffin drawers. It shouldn't be night yet!
The door suddenly turned dark. There was a " ding dong " and a red circular flash lit up inside.
"This is bad!"
I woke up from a dream and hurriedly squeezed past Li Xiangling's body in front and rushed to the door, but it was still too late.
The door of the morgue was locked, and the red flashing light was the lock signal. Naturally, we were trapped in this strange place. The light that I saw just now dimmed. It wasn't because it was night, but because someone was closing the door from outside.
The moment the door was closed, all the bad premonitions surged into his heart. It was cold, humid, and there was no food or water. There were also dried corpses. All of this showed that the mortuary had become a sealed hell that could devour us at any time.
Li Xiangling wasn't stupid. She understood our current situation without me mentioning it. She hugged the Taoist robe tightly and curled up in the first drawer, falling into silence.
Then, the five lamps in front of the drawer went out one by one. The whole room fell into darkness.
Fear, depression, heartache, all negative emotions appeared at this moment. Is this my destiny? Not long after I left my hometown, I was about to die in a foreign land. No one knew my identity after I died.
No, no way!
I haven't completed Second Uncle's instructions, I haven't completed my goal, and I haven't completed my promise to Jessica!
In the darkness, I groped my way to Li Xiangling's position and gently touched her body. I didn't know where I touched her. After confirming that it was her, I got closer and hugged her tightly, hoping that the temperature of the two of us could slightly resist the cold here. However, I also knew that in this environment, ordinary people wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
One drop, two drops, three drops.
My hand was constantly hit by the water droplets. I knew that it was Li Xiangling's tears. She was crying silently, but it was not like crying in front of the door. It was depressing and heartbreaking.
As a man, I can't always hide under Second Uncle's protection and live a muddleheaded life. I should have my own life. From then on, I felt like I had changed into a different person. I was no longer pretentious or afraid. Instead, I had become an heir to Lu Banshu and Taoist skills.
"Xiangling, stop crying!" I gently leaned over and wrapped my arm around her body. I said word by word," Trust me, we'll be able to get out soon!”
"Really?" Li Xiangling's voice was full of doubts, and there was also a strong sobbing tone.
I nodded, but I instantly realized that she definitely couldn't see, so I said," You know my second uncle's identity, and you also know that I have the Book of Luban. Although I haven't finished learning it, it's still a small matter to deal with the current situation.”
Of course, I said this to encourage her, and it was quite exaggerated. However, just as I was determined to fight to the death, some ideas had already appeared, so I wasn't really at my wit's end.
Hearing me say this, Li Xiangling was skeptical, but it was always good to have hope. She didn't resist as much as before and naturally leaned into my arms. In fact, our bodies are both cold now. It's already very difficult to give each other warmth. Leaning against each other is just a comfort in our hearts.
Li Xiangling then dragged out her identity. It turned out that she was not a disciple of the orthodox sect of Taoism, but an orphan. Therefore, she did not receive special training from Taoism, so the Taoist skills she learned were not very standard. The so-called master was just an otherworldly expert who knew some Daoist techniques. Similarly, he did not come from the Dao Sect. Li Xiangling had lived with her master since she was young. She had studied and trained hard, but her progress had always been slow. When she grew up, her master told her that it was because her spiritual energy had been sealed by Dao Kui, so she could not learn anything. However, the reason why her master still taught her Daoist techniques was that once the spiritual energy seal was lifted one day, she would be able to quickly use what she had learned in her body. At that time, her strength would be limitless.
As for the stick, it was actually called a rolling pin. However, her master had added animal blood and some unique spells that she had created. It was mainly used to find and expel ghosts. However, due to Li Xiangling's lack of spiritual energy, it was very difficult to use it. Just like last night outside the funeral parlor, she could have hit the ghost, but she missed because of the lack of speed and strength.
After saying so much, Xiangling didn't hide anything from me anymore. It seemed like she had something to say because she mentioned her master. She said that if anything happened to her, she would let me bring her body to her master's place to be buried.
At this moment, my heart was unusually sad.
However, I still smiled and thought that if she died here, I probably wouldn't be able to live either. However, I still comforted her," Don't worry. Since I said that I can leave, I will definitely be able to leave. You should go back and see Master yourself!”
I stood up and took out my new phone. This phone is a new model, so I didn't buy it. I asked Li Changtian to buy it for me and Li Xiangling at the gas station. Anyway, he has money, and we need to strengthen our relationship. I threw away the old phone.
After a period of darkness, the light was very dazzling. I covered my eyes with my hand and squinted at the depths of the morgue.
"Follow me, Xiangling!" I helped her up and squatted for a long time. Her feet were numb.
This time, I didn't hold her hand again. I held my phone in one hand and took out the Bone and Blood Sword in the other. Even if there were no ghosts here, it was not wrong to be on guard. My target was the iron coffin behind the fifth drawer.
I couldn't find any tables or chairs. There was no place to stand on, so I could only jump into the coffin. There was no cover on the top. Under the illumination of the phone screen, I could only see that the top layer was empty. I could roughly see that the side wall was the same as the outside, a black iron board.
However, I couldn't see the bottom of the coffin. No matter how hard I jumped, I couldn't jump my entire head over the side wall of the coffin. Naturally, my eyes couldn't see what was inside and below the coffin.
"Xiangling, help me take a picture with my phone. I'd better think of a way to climb up!”I handed the phone to the back.
However, after a few seconds, no one picked up the phone, and there was no response from behind.
In that instant, my heart sank. Did something happen to Li Xiangling? Disappeared?
I turned around in panic and used my phone to shine. There was really no trace. Li Xiangling, a living person, had disappeared!
It was all his fault for being careless. He should have let her walk in front of him. I just promised her that I would ensure her safety when she went to see Master. In just a few seconds, she disappeared.
"Xiangling, Li Xiangling!" I shouted loudly, my heart filled with pain.
If anything happens to her, I can't forgive myself!
Silence. One second, two seconds, and then…
"I'm here, I'm here!" Li Xiangling's crisp voice sounded as she came out of the darkness.
I didn't know if I should be happy or anxious. I looked at her and was immediately furious." Where did you go? How could you run around blindly? I thought something had happened to you!”
Li Xiangling paused. Seeing that I was really angry, she lowered her head slightly like a child who had done something wrong. She walked to me aggrievedly and handed over the black bag in her hands.
There were a few bundles of paper money in the bag.
"What are you doing with these?" I'm still angry.
Li Xiangling didn't say anything. She stretched her neck and looked at the iron coffin behind me.
Finally, I understood. She found these paper money so that I could lay them on the ground. This way, I could increase my stature and see everything inside the iron coffin.
In that instant, I knew that I had wronged her. Xiangling wasn't running around, she was thinking of a way. There was nothing else in this morgue, but there was paper money. Many people would place them beside their deceased relatives in advance until they were cremated.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that.”I knew that I had gone overboard, so I apologized directly. However, I still reminded her worriedly," Xiangling, it's very dangerous here. If something like this happens in the future, you have to tell me first, okay?”
"Yes!" Her eyes were red as she nodded obediently.
I touched her head affectionately. Now she didn't hide anymore. She wasn't as embarrassed as before.
However, after this action, my heart felt a sharp pain. I gritted my teeth and endured it. I didn't show it so that Li Xiangling wouldn't worry, but I really didn't understand what was wrong with me. It was already the third time in a row in the morgue. Every time I maintained it for half a second, it would be fine.
I couldn't care about it for the time being. I seized the time and stood on the pile of paper money. I thought that there might be another highly decomposed corpse inside, and I was already prepared to feel disgusted.
However, when I finally climbed up and shone the light from my phone down, I realized that it was different from what I had expected.#
