I Woke Up Pregnant With An Undead's Child-Chapter 42
Chapter 42: The Tomb of Emperor Hui of Jin [10]
The people are all present
When Li Shu's words finished, at the same time he rushed past very fast; almost instantaneously. Zhang Qiu had not yet responded, but the protruding like a press button on the wall had been smashed by Li Shu's palm.
The stone wall issued 'ka ka' sound and slowly opened to both sides.
Behind it was a tomb chamber. The originally missing Su WanTing sat on the top of the coffin. When she saw the door opened, her pair of eyes swept over. Zhang Qiu internally cried out 'as expected'.
Su WanTing’s black pupils were tiny, her eyes almost becoming all white.
“Big brother Li Shu, do you want to live together with me?” When talking, Su WanTing's pupils had recovered its normalcy. Her legs which were on the wall of the coffin, were swinging, and her face showed some smile. She pointed to Zhang Qiu with her eyes showed disdain, “what’s good about him? He doesn’t match you at all, big brother Li Shu.”
Zhang Qiu wanted to spit on Su WanTing's face; he was good in all aspect and Li Shu eyes were not blind, plus they already had little zongzi.
Li Shu looked indifferent and unmoved. Su WanTing pouted, not happy. With fierce eyes and shrill voice she said, “From small to big, as long as I want, no one can hold me back. Those who dare to destroy me will go to hell like the brothers of Su family! Go to hell!” When it came to the last sentence, her eyes looked crazy and the pupils shrank.
Fuck! Zhang Qiu was not frightened by Su WanTing, but was rather crushed by the contents inside her words. Pei Qing once said that Su Zhicai had two sons, and one after another had gone.
“You killed the Su brothers?!” Pei Qing asked.
Su WanTing, who was still looked crazy a moment ago suddenly laughed when she saw Pei Qing and said “it's me, what are you going to do? They should die, and so are you. You are my big brother, but how can you not listen to me? Those who don't listen to me should all die.”
“You are not my little sister TingTing.” Pei Qing's eyes slowly turned cold. He stared at the person in front of him, “What did you do to my little sister?”
Su WanTing's smiling face immediately sank. It was just like Pei Qing asked. Her eyes were somewhat confused, what was she in the end? A sudden sharp pain in her head made her confused eyes instantly became irritable. “I am Su WanTing. You don’t need to waste words. Like you, such a useless person, is neither worthy to be my big brother!”
As soon as the words were finished, Su WanTing on the coffin suddenly rose and moved very fast; just like a shadow moving towards Pei Qing at the door. Li Shu blocked it, and Pixian Hui Wang came to help. Su WanTing bent her lips in a smile and suddenly, a sweet fragrance filled the entire tomb chamber. Zhang Qiu's eyes became lost. Then his finger felt sore, and his consciousness steadily came back. Xiao Jiang was gripping his hand and showed small tiger's teeth with stained with blood.
Zhang Qiu knew that Su WanTing used the same old trick, but he had Xiao Jiang; this sweet fragrance could not make him hallucinated. He could not help but felt relief and took two steps back.
Suddenly there was silence in the tomb. Zhang Qiu looked up; Li Shu, Pixian Hui Wang, Pei Qing and Su WanTing were gone, and the sweet smell on the tip of his nose was also dispersed. No, this was not right.
Zhang Qiu bit his lower lip to make himself wake up, but his eyes were still seeing nothing and no one was here. Zhang Qiu touched his bag; Xiao Jiang was gone. Xiao Jiang obviously had just bit him.
The whole thing was so weird, only in a matter of a split second; he seemed to have entered another space. There was some terror in the quiet tomb. Zhang Qiu stood in place waiting to be sure, but his heart was beating fiercely. He did not know how long he had been waiting. Might be ten minutes or might be only a few minutes. In the closed quiet space, it was easy to make people think too much.
“Li Shu? Second's wife? Pei Qing?”
There was only his voice echoing in the tomb. Zhang Qiu clutched the flashlight in his hand and swept it around; there was nothing. The coffin situated in the middle was emitting a faint light, like something inside was looking at him through the coffin.
Once this kind of thought generated, he frantically felt frightened. Zhang Qiu did not intend to stay in the tomb. The several times he went down the tomb, he was surrounded by people. But this time, he was alone. Besides stepping forward, there was some fear of retreat. After that, he was unexpectedly calm.
How exactly did Li Shu and the rest disappear in just a split second?
Zhang Qiu walked around in the tomb and not found any way out or mechanisms. The stone wall between the two connected tombs was still opened, but the tomb chamber at the back was impassably sealed. He could not climb up there again, so went back around to the center of the tomb chamber.
The light of the coffin situated in the middle had become more obvious. He went around just now was only to avoid it. Zhang Qiu ground his teeth and came forward with the flashlight. He did not know where he had seen those; the dead person's time in the coffin has stopped. If the coffin is opened and exposed to living human's breath, the corpse inside very likely to rise and become a zongzi.
When he thought of these, he couldn’t help holding his breath while the flashlight explored down. Zhang Qiu’s brave eyes opened wide. It turned out that the faint light came out from the inside of the coffin. The coffin cover had been opened into a gap which a person could pass. Inside the coffin was small lane of steps, made of slab. Who knew what it led to?
He was hesitating whether to go down or not, but a gust of wind blew from behind. As if someone had pushed him, his whole person fell head first into the coffin like a watermelon. After entering, Zhang Qiu just wanted to say: fortunately, it was quite narrow here or he would roll down the steps.
After Zhang Qiu settled down, only then he thought of the force that pushed him just now. He felt panic-stricken but he had already come and neither did he have the courage to turn back. No matter what had pushed him, the other party obviously wanted him to come in. It seemed that he could not get out. He had no other choice but to stick to one way.
After summoning up courage, Zhang Qiu held his flashlight while his mouth incessantly muttered Li Shu's and Xiao Jiang's names.
The more he walked the wider the inside and there was also wind flow. He should arrive soon. He quickened several steps, and sure enough, the exit was under the coffin as in his past experience.
Zhang Qiu was about to go up but suddenly heard a muffled voice. After that, came Bald Head gasping for breath and said, “Su WanTing is a monster. You'll be finished sooner or later if you following her. Brother, we have known each other for more than ten years —”
“You don’t need to play any emotional cards. You should have thought (of a villain) to do the dirty on another villain when we were doing this business.”
It was Pingquan’s voice that interrupted Bald Head. Bald Head gasped, and then the sound of a knife stabbing into the meat was vaguely heard. “At least I could live a little longer following her…”
Zhang Qiu could not hear what was said later, because the voice was too small and vague. However if he did not make a move soon, Bald Head would die in the hands of Pingquan. After pulling himself together, he gently knocked the coffin wall, and after a while pressed a rhythm one at a time. At the end, the 'Dong Dong Dong' became faster and faster. His other hand held a dagger at the coffin ridge. This dagger was put in his small bag by Li Shu before going down the pit.
It was quiet outside. Zhang Qiu nestled in the coffin, heard the footsteps slowly approaching. His heart beat was just as fast as he knocked on the coffin wall. The footsteps stopped. Zhang Qiu could feel that Pingquan was not far away from the coffin. He was afraid to even take a breath. The time seemed to be very long. He moved his hand from the coffin wall to the lid; rocked it one at a time, not daring to be too vigorous for fear that the lid of the coffin would be overthrown.
The sound outside seemed to be walking away, but Zhang Qiu's knocking was too loud to listen carefully.
“You stay here to feed the zongzi.”
It was Pingquan talking to Bald Head. Zhang Qiu knocked again, and after making sure that there was no sound outside, only then he felt relieved. The lid of the coffin was movable, and was not sealed; it had moved a bit by the excessive knocking. Zhang Qiu saw the outside from the crack; it was dark, and there was a faint figure in the corner.
No Pingquan. After confirming that, Zhang Qiu jumped out of the lid and ran to the corner quickly. It was indeed Bald Head, who was already bleeding from the bottom of his abdomen.
Zhang Qiu fished out the first aid medicine from the small bag. He sprinkled the homeostatic powder to Bald Head's wound, and bandaged it. During the period, Bald Head woke up and clutched his wrist tightly.
“Hold on. Stopping the blood first and as soon as we go up, we'll look for a hospital.”
Bald Head gripped his arm and did not let go, instead, he gripped tighter. He moved his lower body, and drew a breath of pain. Grounding his teeth, he said, “Pingquan is with that stinky girl Su WanTing. They bring people down to the pit to kill them all.”
Zhang Qiu's hands shook and he quickened the dressing. After he was done, he hurriedly said, “You carry on yourself, don’t die.” He must quickly find Li Shu. It was not just in a split second that they were all gone, but it was Su WanTing causing the damnable. This person was even more difficult to deal with than Jin LaoDa.
There were two roads after coming out of the tomb chamber. Zhang Qiu shone the light on the ground, and sure enough, he saw a trace of blood. It was Pingquan who dripped it with the bloody knife when he had just left.
Without hesitation, Zhang Qiu ran towards the left side. He did not know that there were several dark shadows leaning on his back.
Delicious smell, even more fragrant than that in the tomb.
This is mine.
It is mine.
The shadows were quarreling, and finally merged into a huge black shadow. They opened their mouths and swallowed up the head of the completely lack of perception Zhang Qiu.
Zhang Qiu felt something weigh down on his neck. When he took it out to take a look, it was the spirit bead. He didn’t know what was going on the brocade's surface for it to almost break off. Conveniently, he wrapped the cloth and put it into the bag, then rushed to the front. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt a heavy feeling on his back.
The dark shadows on Zhang Qiu’s back once again opened its mouth and headed towards his head.
But just as its getting closer, the condensed dark shadows suddenly dispersed and let out a mournful cry. As if it was going to get devoured by something, one by one dispersed to run away.
This person's body has a very powerful force.
Ahhhh, it hurts, it hurts.
The completely lack perception Zhang Qiu had run to the top most. The stone gate was opened wide. The top wall was carved with mired decorative designs. On the either sides were the tomb's beast guards. Their workmanship was refined and meticulous that they seemed to be aggressively guarding the master inside.
This was the main tomb chamber.
Zhang Qiu slowed down his footsteps. When he arrived, he found that he was too impulsive. Pingquan should be inside, if he went in now, it would be death. While he was hesitating, he heard Pei Qing's voice from inside.
“Why are you here? What about other people?”
“Wandered off.”
Zhang Qiu went in and happened to see Pingquan holding a dagger to stab behind Pei Qing. “Watch out!” He blurted out. Pei Qing, as if he had been prepared, with a lightning move of his hand took Pingquan's dagger directly, and kicked the man out at the same time.
The action flowing was smooth and neat.
Zhang Qiu then remembered that Pei Qing's origin was a soldier. “Pingquan is Su WanTing's people. Just a moment ago he wanted to kill Bald Head. Where are Li Shu and second's wife?”
Pei Qing tied up Pingquan and threw him in the corner. He heard Zhang Qiu asked the question and shook his head. “Wandered off. I don’t know what’s going on. When we're still at the location below, you just disappeared in a flash. I'd climbed up from above. Then met several Zongzis on the way and dealt them. I haven’t met Li Shu and the rest.”
“Me too.” Zhang Qiu wrinkled his eyebrows and said what he had just met. “I don’t know what Su WanTing had done. Where are Li Shu and the rest? And Xiao Jiang —”
“Xiao Qiu.”
It was Li Shu's voice. Zhang Qiu looked back, it was indeed Li Shu. At the back, there was also second's wife. Clearly, they were separated and soon after met again, Zhang Qiu eyes turned red. Without thinking, he rushed forward, but was pulled from behind by Pei Qing.
“They are zongzis, see it clearly.” Pei Qing snapped.
Zhang Qiu sharply stood in place and looked carefully at “Li Shu” and “Pixian Hui Wang” in front of him. They had no expression on their faces; their facial features were stiff and rigid. By Pei Qing's reminder, he knew they were not right. Just now when he saw Li Shu, he was too happy to be lost in mind. Now that he thought about it, just now, Li Shu called him Xiao Qiu, which he was rarely called during normal times, and there was no emotion in Li Shu's eyes.
“Pei Qing, you will die by your blabbing mouth.”
Zhang Qiu looked over following the voice. Su WanTing slowly came in, with a wave of hand, 'Li Shu' and 'Pixian Hui Wang' whom were blocking the way, stiffly opened the way for her. Su WanTing's clothes were a sorry figure, and there were scars on her face. Zhang Qiu breath a sigh of relief upon that look. There were not many people in the pit who could hurt Su WanTing, Li Shu should have nothing happened to him.
Su WanTing swept her eyes on Pei Qing with a ruthless look. “I advise you not to interfere with my affairs, even can leave you with your corpse intact.”
“These words are better gift to you.” Pei Qing was emanating chillness from head to toe, he swept over his sharp eyes and said, “You are not my little sister.”
Su WanTing smiled in ridicule, ” You don’t deserve it either!” The voice just fell, she directly rushed over. At the back, the two zongzis disguised as Li Shu and Pixian Hui Wang also ran over.
Although Zhang Qiu knew that the other side was a zongzi, but with the face of Li Shu, he was still under great pressure. With teeth grinding, a knife went to stab in. The piercing blow did not sound like stabbing flesh, but it was very hard. When he pulled out the dagger, a fishy smell wafted out. The zongzi disguised as Li Shu had restored to its original appearance.
Zhang Qiu saw the shrunken black face of the zongzi at the close distance. The contrast was too big. His hand gave it an energetic stab after stab, stabbing it to broken bits.
“Be careful!”
This voice was like passing through from his body and came out. When Zhang Qiu looked back, the zongzi with the Pixian Hui Wang's shell was coming. The sharp claws were striking straight at his face. A nearly transparent human shadow suddenly appeared before him, blocking him for a moment.
“Finally, all are present.”
Su WanTing beat Pei Qing to the ground, narrowing her eyes at the human shadow in front of her. She coldly snorted. It was unknown what was pulled out from her hand, but she struck it at the transparent human shadow's body and the shadow gradually became an entity. Only, this person's complexion was terribly paled and appeared very much in pain.
Who knew when Pingquan, who had been tied up in the corner, broke free from the rope and stabbed in Zhang Qiu's lower back.
