Chapter 129 Chapter 12 Barrier

When I saw this, I was stunned for a moment. It had only been a few minutes, why did the old ghost come back again, with a sharp dagger on his stomach?The old ghost was in a trance, and he didn't feel pain when he was stabbed, and he kept trying to pinch my neck.Fortunately, the old ghost lost a lot of blood and his strength was greatly reduced, so I easily turned over.Lao Er Liao came back and helped me up, not forgetting to kick the old ghost.I saw that the old ghost had lost the ability to hurt people, so he let go of his defenses. Who knew that the old ghost seemed not afraid of pain, and pulled out the dagger in his abdomen to fight us desperately.

When the old ghost pulled out the dagger, blood splattered everywhere, spraying salty mucus all over my face.Liao's second brother was not much better either. When the old ghost pulled out the dagger, he tried to snatch it back to his own doom, but his eyes were stained red with blood.This happened within a few seconds, and before I had time to react, the old ghost temporarily took the lead.To make matters worse, the old ghost pulled out his dagger, but he was still able to move, rushing over with bared teeth and claws.Liao Er'er's eyes were covered with blood, he couldn't see anything, and he kept rubbing his eyes.I saw that the old ghost was about to stab the dagger at Liao Lao Er, so he rushed to save him regardless of the severe pain in his left foot.

I can't protect myself, and I still try to be a hero without knowing what I can do. I'm sure I won't get good results.When the dagger held by the old ghost was a few centimeters away from Liao Lao Er, I pushed Liao Lao Er away, and then snatched the sharp blade with my bare hands.The old ghost is not easy to deal with. When I grabbed the dagger, I was cut on the palm of my right hand. Fortunately, the wound was not deep.When I took down the weapon, I immediately gave the old ghost a head-on blow, knocking out the old immortal monster with one punch. Liao Er'er's eyes were full of blood. Leaving aside the old ghost whose life and death were uncertain, I took Liao Erer to the dripping stone path to wash his eyes.It took a few minutes, and we finally washed the blood away, but when we came back, the old ghost was almost dead.I squatted down lamentingly, looking at the old ghost with dull eyes, regretting this life that was about to end.The old ghost's tongue was gone. He seemed to want to speak, so he gestured with his hand, but finally gave up.

I remember Liao Lao Er tied the old ghost next to Taoist Wangqiao, and then we walked to the scripture room. At that time, the old ghost was still alive, and the dagger had not yet penetrated his abdomen.Liao Er Er was not a fool, he distanced himself from the relationship from the very beginning, swore he didn't hurt the old ghost at all, and only tied him to a stone pillar.I also doubted Liao Erer, after all, the dagger belongs to us, and there is no one else in the cave.But Liao's second child had never had any enmity with the old ghost, so there was no reason to kill him. It was the first time they both met.

I wanted to help the old ghost stop the bleeding, but I couldn't stop it at all. It didn't take long for him to become cold.Looking at the old ghost's gradually stiff body, my nose felt sore, and the scenes that happened in the ancient city of Yuequan appeared in my mind.Although I have no friendship with the old ghost, he even wanted to kill us, but I never wanted his life.I let out a long sigh and stood up with difficulty, the pain in my left foot pierced into my veins, and my tears were about to burst into tears. Second Liao stood aside and explained: "I really tied up the old ghost, and I definitely didn't lie to you! As for how the dagger got into his stomach, I really don't know, I still want to ask you."

I believed that Liao's second child would not do anything poisonous, so I asked: "That night watchman sucked the breath of the corpse, it is impossible for him to wake up so quickly, and it is impossible for him to stab the dagger into the belly of the old ghost who cannot resist. Taoist Wangqiao is dead." After so many years, it is even more impossible to be the murderer." "But I really never did that!" Liao Laoer reiterated, "I really didn't lie to you this time!" "I didn't say you did it." I supported the desk and stood tremblingly, "I've seen every place I walked along the way just now, and there can't be other passages. Therefore, where we walked, If we hid someone else, we would have discovered it long ago.”

"Then you mean..." Liao Er asked in a low voice. "I mean..." I stretched out the tone and took a deep breath, "Since it's not someone hiding in the cave, someone probably followed us in." This is the only possibility. When we walked into the scripture room, the follower stabbed the old ghost with our dagger.Although the old ghost didn't die immediately, he was too weak to recover from this kind of injury, so he was certain to die.The stalker may still be in the hole, or may have escaped.Then the old ghost broke free, ran into the cave, and attacked us crazily.If the old ghost hadn't run in, we wouldn't have found out that something happened to him.Although we didn't stab the dagger into the old ghost's stomach, we tied him so that he couldn't resist.After all, we actually killed him.

I fell into self-blame, didn't think deeply, but Liao Lao Er reminded me, since the old ghost has no tongue, why did he kill him.I thought it was right, the old ghost's tongue was cut off, isn't this trying to seal the old ghost's big mouth.The old ghost has been imprisoned here for many years. He has long been insane and crazy. There is no need to kill him.But in fact, the old ghost was still killed. Why did the murderer do this? Why did a madman without a tongue have to die? I wanted to go back to the stalagmite cave, maybe the murderer hadn't left yet, but Liao Er Er stopped me and scolded me for being an idiot.Whether the murderer was one, or two, none of us knew.What's more, my left foot is injured like that, and ducks can run faster than me, so how can I catch the murderer.It's okay if we didn't catch it, if it happens, the murderer will definitely be silenced, aren't we hitting the muzzle of the gun?

"But... alas!" I said unwillingly. "Forget it, let him go. It's good for the old ghost to stay here. He has no status outside, so it's better to give birth to a good family as soon as possible, so as to avoid the suffering of being dumb." Second Liao said bitterly. I leaned against the counter with a lot of emotion, looking at the dead old ghost, and suddenly remembered that the old ghost ran out from behind the stone gate.But we searched all over the scripture room. There are no daily necessities, no smell of old ghosts, and no coffins for dead bodies.I suspected that we missed something when we searched, so I asked Liao Erer to pick up the flashlight on the ground and search again together.The second Liao retreated a little bit, but he didn't dare to escape the cave by the same way. He was afraid that the murderer would be in ambush, so he could only bite the bullet and stay in the scripture room with me.

Although the scripture room is large, there is nothing else except bookshelves, table cases, and stone screens.We moved all these things slightly, no mechanism was revealed, and no secret door was opened.The Tibetan scripture stone is surrounded by stalagmites. If you want to build a hidden pavilion in this kind of landform, I am afraid that Lu Ban will not break it when he comes.Those stalagmites are all natural, not artificially piled up, so there is no other space behind the wall. After searching for a long time, the second Liao couldn't hold back his temper and gave up, "Xiaolu, maybe this is the end here. No matter how hard we search, it will be in vain."

"There's always something wrong with me, we must be missing something..." I mused. We walked among the bookshelves to check if there were any tricks in the bookshelves. The second brother Liao didn't want to continue searching, so he took out a book and flipped through it casually.I thought of something, looked at the neat rows of books, looked at the stalagmites around the bookshelves, and finally realized the disharmony in the scripture room. The stalagmites in the scripture room are of different heights, which are formed by the dripping water in the cave, so the time span can range from tens of thousands of years to millions of years.If the scripture storage room keeps dripping water, it is not suitable for scripture collection, otherwise the paper classics will be easily corroded.In the stone corridor and the cave where the Wangqiao Taoist sits, there is not only water dripping, there are not only protruding stalagmites, but also upside-down stalactites.However, starting from the second stone gate, there is no water dripping in the cave. At this moment, I raised my head excitedly, took a flashlight and looked at the top, and as expected, there were a lot of articles on the top of the scripture room. The place above our heads is flat, just like the ceiling at home, which rarely exists in natural caves.What's more, there are so many stalagmites on the ground, how can there be no upside-down stalactites on the top of our heads, but smooth as a mirror.Seeing the dawn, Liao Lao Er excitedly said that it was no wonder that he couldn't find it. It turned out to be on the top of his head, so close at hand. The slate above our heads is almost close to the top of the shelves. In this dim environment, we only pay attention to the surroundings, but we don't look up.The building of this structure is actually very simple, and the principle is the same as that of a brick house.In tile-roofed houses, in order to block sunlight and heat, construction workers will build a layer of ceiling under the tiles, and the space between the tiles and the ceiling is like a small attic.The reason why the stalagmites above our heads can't be seen is because someone divided the cave into two, and the first layer is above our heads. "The Lin family really knows how to use space." Liao Er admired. I shook my head and said, "It definitely wasn't done by the Lin family. It's a huge project. Either it was built by the tea factory, or it was an ancient person who was earlier than the tea factory." Liao Laoer looked up and said confusedly: "The top is at least three or four meters from the ground. Although it is not very high, how did the old ghosts climb up? Could it be that they climbed up from the side of the cave? There's no ladder there, and... there's no entrance to the ceiling overhead." "Of course you can't see the entrance, or we would have discovered it earlier, even if it is a tile-roofed house, the entrance to the ceiling is sealed." I am very sure of this. We have a goal, and this time we are full of confidence, Lin Hongyan will definitely not be able to run away.After a thorough search, we found a rectangular gap in the top of the desk, which must have been a cover.We just need to put the lid on, and we will find the entrance naturally.The desk is nearly one meter high. As long as we stand on it, we will be more than one meter away from the ceiling of the scripture room.However, this was not enough, Liao Er Er couldn't reach the ceiling at all after standing on it, and even after jumping a few times, he missed by a tiny bit, a thousand miles away. If my left foot hadn't been injured, I couldn't wait to replace Liao Er Er. Seeing him struggle for a long time without success, I was so anxious that my teeth itch.Liao's second child lamented unceasingly for this, complaining that he didn't eat good food when he was a child, which made him not tall enough, which delayed the big event now.In fact, I am not tall. If I were to go up, the result would not be different.I thought about it, so I moved the stone chair to the desk to make Mr. Liao "heightened".The stone chair was tall and stood on the desk. After Liao Laoer stepped on it, he could touch the ceiling without jumping. I looked up expectantly, imagining that Lin Hongyan was waiting for us above, ready to answer our every question.But when Lao Er Liao raised his hand to push the hidden cover, he was trembling all over, and immediately retracted his hand in fright.
