Chapter 122 Digging for Treasures
Su Wen was so scared that he was trembling all over, but he was still very loyal and insisted on entering this dark temple with Lu Lie to find out.
Lu Lie was depressed, but he was not particularly panicked. It was only a few dozen kilometers away from his home. If something really happened, he would scream and run a long way, and he would escape the danger. There was basically no big deal.
According to his experience, from the current situation, it is because he is thinking too much, and in the end it is likely to be a false alarm.
So he did not stop Su Wen who insisted on following him. Lu Lie tiptoed in front. Su Wen put down the wine pot and roast chicken in his hand, and followed Lu Lie carefully. Together, the two of them sneaked into the dark forbidden area.
There was no difference between the temple and when Lu Lie stepped in for the first time. The dust returned to dust and soil, but the temple that originally worshiped Buddha statues that were flesh and blood was now empty.
Lu Lie explored it. Although it was pitch black during the period, there seemed to be no horrible monster lurking in it. He unconsciously relaxed slowly and continued to explore deeper. This small temple was so big that Lu Lie and Su Wen all the way along the wall. Not to mention Liu Laosi, they didn't even touch a hair. It gradually confirmed that there were only two of them in this empty black temple. Although there was no need to be as cautious as before, as another clue broke, Lu Lie's heart was always a little empty.
"Damn it, I'm so angry." Su Wen sat in the corner of the wall, regardless of how dirty the floor was, and held his arms and said furiously, "This Liu Laosi is very hateful. He hid in this temple in front of him to scare people, and wanted to order us to get him some food. Now, the roast chicken and wine were brought to him, but it really disappeared."
Now that things have come, Lu Lie has calmed down. He always feels that he is getting closer and closer to the truth of something, but he can't catch it and can't touch the shadow of the vague thing. He patted Su Wen's head and signaled her to stand up: "Forget it, don't worry about the hateful Liu Laosi. By the way, don't you say that I often buried things behind the temple when I was a child? Just right, let's see what I buried seven years ago?"
Su Wen's temperament was indeed like a child, and his attention was slightly diverted. The unhappiness in front immediately disappeared: "Hey, I'll take you to see it. I still remember that you were very stingy when you were a child. No matter what you buried in that pit, you were unwilling to tell others, including me. In the past seven years, no one has known how much you buried in that pit..."
The two of them talked and came to a hidden muddy open space behind the temple. It has been seven years since, and even if it was dug up here seven years ago, the mud and stone on the ground are now firmly formed, and there is no flaw at all.
Lu Lie became more and more curious, and he knelt down and used his fingers to dig the land.
He originally thought that he was just a child seven years ago, and how deep the pit he dug was like a house-like house? He didn't want to use his fingers to tick it. The more he digs, the harder the soil below, and it almost digs to the stone layer underground. The soil dug out almost piles into hills, and still no one is seen.
Looking at the bloodstains flowing between his fingers, Lu Lie was in tears.
Su Wen couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked a thick branch, helping Lu Lie to dig the land, while talking to himself curiously: "Strange, I'm almost seeing it, why is there no trace yet? I said, what did you bury underneath at that time? Why is it so deep..."
Lu Lie said angrily: "I said, sister, have you remembered the wrong position? Otherwise, I would have buried something like food seven years ago. Now, it has long since been corrupted and turned into mud?"
As they were talking, Lu Lie felt a sharp pain in his fingers, as if something was hibernating when he was stirred in the mud. He subconsciously retracted his hand and whispered softly.
"What? What?" Su Wen widened his eyes and looked at Lu Lie with interest. Obviously, he encountered something below while digging the soil in front of him.
"I don't know, but the touch is very sharp, it's not something like a sword." Lu Lie muttered in his heart. He sent Su Wen to the hall to pick up a lampstand that was almost gone, took two stone pieces, skillfully knocked out the sparks, lit the lampstand, and placed it on the mud pit to watch carefully.
Under the sunny lights, Lu Lie and Su Wen saw something pure white, revealing a pointed tip in the soil. Obviously, it was this pointed tip that was "dang" in the darkness just now. It was just now that it exposed the tip of the iceberg, and it was hard to determine what it was.
"Naked child." Lu Lie cursed viciously, not knowing whether he was scolding himself seven years ago, Su Wen behind him, or the white unknown object in the mud pit. He just bent down and continued his excavation.
Once you find the right direction, the subsequent excavation speed will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
Just halfway through the digging, the white thing was exposed more and more, and Lu Lie faintly felt something was right. After one-third of it was exposed outside, Su Wen covered his eyes and screamed loudly in fear.
It turned out to be a complete set of ribs.
Although it is not very clear, it is the ribs of humans or animals. However, even the ribs of animals are too sensational. Just imagine, seven years ago, Lu Lie was just an eleven or two-year-old child. How could he secretly bury the body of such a large animal behind this temple?
Lu Lie's face looked ugly as if it was ashen. Naturally, he didn't remember that he had this experience at all.
He didn't say a word, but just accelerated his excavation speed. As more soil was dug out, Su Wen was already trembling with fear and shrank to a corner and curled up.
The entire skeleton was finally completely dug out by Lu Lie. It was really a human skeleton.
Looking at the owner of this skeleton, he was about one head shorter than Lu Lie during his lifetime and was petite. He couldn't tell the difference between men and women for the time being, and no fatal wounds were found in the skeleton.
"Su Wen... are you really sure... this is my once 'treasure cave'?"
“Yes…yes…absolutely…can’t be wrong…”
Lu Lie's pupils shrank into two points.
Seven years ago, he buried a corpse here.
Seven years later, he dug out the remaining bones of the corpse with his own hands.
For...why is this?
Things have changed again.
The little light that Lu Lie finally caught in his mind was suddenly completely disrupted in front of the sudden appearance of the bones.
