Corpse in the tomb

  Lin Ruoshui didn't exert much force, she just lifted it up a bit, and the two-meter-long Turov shovel was pulled out of the ground like this, with mud all over its body, just like a magnet absorbing iron filings all over its body.

  Then Lin Ruoshui slowly moved the Luoyang shovel in front of him, as if examining the changes in the soil layer on it. I suddenly remembered that my grandfather had told me before that the southern school's grave exploration method was to use the Luoyang shovel to dig a hole and analyze the soil layers pulled out from underground to determine the age and orientation of the tomb. It is a practical method of exploring tombs, although there is no golden finger or divination to determine the location of the tomb beforehand. However, as long as you try several times, you will eventually find the correct location, which is also a folk method used by people who do not understand Bagua Xuanwu and other things.

  Is Lin Ruoshui the successor of the Southern School? But listening to her accent doesn't seem like a southerner, and the Wu Liuqi behind her is a typical Northeastern big man. Although he looks quite handsome, he always has a gloomy face and hasn't seen him smile, as if everyone owes him millions of dollars. At this time, Wu Liuqi was carrying a large travel bag on his back, and in his hand, he was holding a rod-shaped object over one meter long, wrapped in cloth. Is it a fishing rod?

  Just as I was thinking, Lin Ruoshui had already dug several holes in different places, each time carefully examining the soil on the shovel, and finally found a clue at the end of this "Jia" shaped pit.

  Because her Turoku shovel was sucked in here, it seemed to be sucked in by something underground. Not only couldn't she pull it up, but there was also a danger of falling down. If Lin Ruoshui hadn't reacted quickly, the Turoku shovel would have dug into the ground long ago.

  "Hurry up and help! There's something down there!" Lin Ruoshui shouted at us.

  Wu Liu Qi had already rushed to her side before she could even open her mouth, helping her grab the end of the trowel. By the time I hurried over, there was no room for me to lend a hand.

  "Hurry up and take out the shovel from your bag and dig a hole here, it won't be wrong." Lin Ruoshui said.

  I let out a sound, then took out a small shovel over half a meter long from my backpack and started digging around them. The silent one on the other side also took out an iron trowel to help with the task. However, I had never done much physical labor since childhood, so after digging for a few times, I was out of energy and panting heavily.

  "It's really useless." Wu Liuqi said coldly to me, after which the veins on his forehead bulged out and his arm seemed to thicken instantly. Then I saw him forcibly pull out the Tuo Luo shovel from the ground.

  I couldn't help but be stunned by his incredible strength, I didn't expect this guy's power to be so great, if it were me, I'm afraid both hands wouldn't be able to pull it out.

  "Quickly hide, the grave energy is coming out!" Lin Ruoshui rushed towards me and knocked me to the ground.

  As I fell to the ground, the flashlight in my hand happened to shine on a small hole dug by Tuo Luo, and a burst of black smoke suddenly emerged from it, rushing into the air. In an instant, all the stars in the sky disappeared, and even the moon was surrounded by this black gas.

  "What's going on?" I said anxiously.

  "This is the underground tomb energy, it has been sealed for too long. Once there's a gap, it will drill out by itself. If you're injured by this tomb energy, you'll directly become a hopping corpse." Lin Ruoshui said in my ear.

  "Living dead? What is that thing? A zombie?" I asked.

  Lin Ruoshui didn't even bother to answer me, instead pulling me up and running far away. But I saw Moqi and Wu Liuqi still lying there motionless, why did he pull me to run? Had they been injured by the grave energy inside?

  But no matter how I asked, Lin Ruoshui just pulled me to run, and ran very quickly, as if eager to leave here quickly. However, I inadvertently discovered that this Lin Ruoshui seemed to have become much shorter and thinner, with disheveled hair, and those long fingernails pinched the flesh on my arm so painfully.

  "Come back quickly!" At this time, Lin Ruoshui's voice sounded behind me. If the person who called me was Lin Ruoshui, then who was the one pulling me to run in front?

  "Who are you!" I suddenly stopped and asked her, because I wasn't clear how the fifth person would suddenly run out.

  But I stopped, the person who was pulling me to run didn't stop, all I saw was her arm left on my wrist, and then she disappeared from my sight with one arm missing, just in a flash.

  Suddenly I felt scared, both legs immediately went soft, and I didn't know how I was standing here. Only the arm on my wrist was still swinging regularly, illuminated by the flashlight, it was a white arm.

  "You're fine, why are you running so fast!" Lin Ruoshui came to my side, seemingly a bit out of breath.

  "What's on my hand? Quickly help me take a look." I didn't dare to look at my left hand again.

  "This is terrible! It's a corpse in the grave, don't let it leave anything on you or you'll become its substitute ghost!" Lin Ruoshui shouted to those behind her.

  "What... what is a corpse in the grave?" I asked tremulously.

  "The corpses in the tomb are those who have been sealed inside and still don't believe they're dead, so they continue to struggle for survival. They wander around like a living corpse until someone breaks through the tomb, at which point they suddenly burst out and excitedly turn into ashes, only then realizing they had long since died. If you don't get rid of the things that remain with you, they will haunt you forever - this is the 'corpse sickness' left behind by the tomb's malevolent bacteria." Lin Ruoshui explained.

  "But where are there bacteria that big?" I stared at the arm called bacteria, my heart rate had already exceeded three hundred.

  "The desks in the classroom would grow mushrooms if they got wet, let alone people underground. Don't worry, Wu Liu Qi is an expert at dealing with this." Lin Ruo Shui finished speaking, and I saw Wu Liu Qi tear open the outer packaging of the strip-shaped object, revealing a rusty ancient sword inside. The sword had many strange characters etched onto it. Before I could even react, he chopped off my arm with it.
