There was dead silence all around, but I knew they were guarding in every corner, so I didn't dare breathe heavily. Shen Bing raised her head, leaned on my shoulder, and asked me in a voice as low as it could be: "Are they gone?"
I turned around and whispered in her ear, "We haven't left yet. Let's wait patiently until Team Leader Long and Su Yao rescue us."
"Aren't you a Taoist priest? Can't you run away?"
"You heard me wrong. I am a natural eater. No one can beat me when it comes to eating."
"I despise you. I think you are an idiot."
"Is there any idiot as handsome as me? Besides, you were so scared just now that you crawled into my arms, didn't you?" I said to her angrily.
When she heard this, she might have been shy, and hurriedly left me, whispering fiercely: "I will sue you when we get out. How dare you tease me? Let Su Yao give you a good beating."
"If you don't sue me you're a puppy! I was just thinking of breaking up with her and finding someone new."
"You bastard, how dare you bully my sister like this!" Shen Bing got anxious and pinched my arm hard.
This movement was quite large and made a noise. Immediately, a gasp of an evil ghost was heard nearby. Shen Bing was so scared that she quickly hugged my arm and dared not move anymore.
The ghost gasped again and made a "huh" sound. It was less than a meter away from us, just blocked by the pile of things in front. My heart was in my throat, thinking that if this thing just jumped forward, it would find us. Fortunately, this dead ghost did not do so. I heard the panting sound and it was a few meters away.
Shen Bing immediately let go of my arm and retracted her body. I ignored her and reached out to touch what was in front of me. It turned out to be a table with a stone statue on it. I touched the statue again and it seemed to be a black tortoise. Oh, I understand. Old Yan must have placed the statues of the Four Spirits in the four corners, otherwise he couldn't suppress so many evil spirits. The dead ghost found this place just now, but he didn't dare to enter the corner because he was afraid of the statue of the Black Tortoise.
I guess these dead ghosts were all kept in the container by Old Yan, but I don't know how they got out. Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, and I asked Shen Bing in a low voice: "Did you knock over anything after you came down just now?"
"Yes, I couldn't see anything when I first came down, so I was groping around and accidentally knocked over a glass bottle. It seemed to be quite big."
No wonder, it was she, the reckless girl, who broke the ghost-sealing container. What I stepped on when I came in was a piece of glass.
"How did you get in?" I wondered. I smashed Old Yan's portrait and a hole appeared on the ground. How did she find the mechanism
"I don't know. I came in in a daze and walked down." Shen Bing sounded annoyed.
I nodded. She must have been manipulated by the Willow Spirit last night, so that her mind was controlled and she was not very clear when she came in. I turned my head and looked around in the darkness. I thought that the Four Spirits statues were not powerful enough because they could not cast spells. Only when I lit candles in front of the Four Spirits statues and chanted spells and burned talismans, would they become powerful. Then these dead ghosts would have no choice but to run for their lives.
I reached forward and touched the table. Sure enough, there were candles and a bunch of incense. Just as I was thinking about asking Xuanwu to show up and help us escape, I suddenly heard the first "click" sound in the distance, and I vaguely saw a ray of light, and the cave entrance opened. I quickly held my breath and stared at the front.
The sound of footsteps coming down the stairs could be heard clearly in the silent basement.
Shen Bing whispered, "Could it be Team Leader Long and Su Yao who are here?"
I covered her mouth with my hand and whispered to her, "I don't think so. Don't open your mouth from now on."
If Long Shaohui and Su Yao came, they would never be so low-key, nor would they be alone. There would definitely be a large number of police officers rushing in. Being able to open the basement mechanism, and the footsteps sounded very calm, gave me an ominous premonition!
