Chapter 352: The Guardian(1/2)

Bai Xiao has very deep memories of Mu Tianchen, but these memories seem to have become very blurred at the moment, at least it is difficult to correspond to the person in front of him.

I remember when I was young, when I heard the name "Tianchen", her first feeling was envy. Indeed, this is a name that sounds a bit mid-second, but for children, it doesn't matter whether they are mid-second or not. It sounds nice and domineering is enough. The two words "Tianchen" are both Tian and Chen, which is undoubtedly very domineering.

However, as experience increases, for Bai Xiao, who has been influenced by various Long Aotian novels, the name Tianchen has long since faded from the glitz of the past. Now, it is difficult to find the place where he felt domineering in the past, except for a little bit of a second-rate aura.

Of course, the name Mu Tianchen still sounds very nice.

It took about five years to see her for nearly six years. Bai Xiao had to admit that Mu Tianchen's changes were really great. Not only did he grow taller, he also seemed to be much more handsome. He no longer looked like he used to be a bit old-fashioned, so that she didn't recognize her at first sight.

Otherwise, the most wonderful change for girls is that they happen in high school, while the change for boys is in college. Time is really a killer. While feeling like it, it also creates visual "magic skills" again and again.

Of course, if you want to say something about changes, Bai Xiao dares to say that his own changes are the greatest.

"Tianchen, where have you been there over the years?" After a little silence, Bai Xiao looked at his childhood playmate in front of him with curious eyes.

"This matter is a long story..." Mu Tianchen shook his head and smiled, "We can talk about my matter later. Don't you introduce yourself first?"

Bai Xiao was stunned and said with a slightly awkward expression: "I have anything to introduce, don't you know everything?"

In the previous conversation, Mu Tianchen had already mentioned Bai Xiao's identity as the "Bai Family Miss". The implication was that he knew Bai Xiao's changes, and at least he should know the public information. Bai Xiao was curious about how much he knew about his real situation.

"Yes, since you feel embarrassed, I won't introduce it." Mu Tianchen nodded, and did not force Bai Xiao to tell his situation. After all, he would not do anything that was difficult for others.

"I'm not embarrassed, okay, but you know everything, why are you wasting my words?" Bai Xiao said, and the brief conversation had already made her regain her impression of Mu Tianchen.

In my memory, he is such a person who likes to take advantage of his words, but he doesn't know it himself. He often speaks one sentence and can choke the second half of others back into his stomach. He is very stupid and stupid.

Of course, Mu Tianchen's "no matter" is in line with Bai Xiao's intention. She really doesn't want to explain more about the topic of becoming a girl, because every time she tells her situation, it makes her feel like she is "stripped naked for people to visit". Although she knows it is a "false" story, the person involved is herself after all, which still makes her feel ashamed.

"Well, I'm inappropriate about this matter." Seeing that Bai Xiao was reluctant to say too much, Mu Tianchen decisively admitted his mistake, and then looked at Bai Xiao with appreciation in his eyes.

Bai Xiao was a little awkward to see. She was pretty and she knew that she could not stare at her.

Quickly change the topic: "By the way, let's talk about the old things later. Now let's solve the things in front of us first!" As he said that, Bai Xiao came to the passage and pointed below.

"What's going on here? Why is there a channel? What's underneath?"

"Don't worry, ask one by one, I'll answer one by one."

"Well, then you say it!" Bai Xiao also knew that his questioning was like a cannon, which made the other party unable to answer well.

Mu Tianchen said, "Then I will tell you honestly. In fact, I also occasionally found that there was an abnormality here. As for the specific situation, I don't know."

"Not?"

"Um."

Bai Xiao frowned, feeling teased, staring at the other party: "You really don't know what's going on?"

"I really don't know. I found that this was a coincidence and I got it by chance."

"Speak human, don't be polite."

"Okay, no problem." Mu Tianchen nodded, looking obedient, and his obedient attitude made Bai Xiao feel a little fake.

"Then what did you find after you went down?" she asked.

"... There is a long corridor inside. Of course, before I went deeper, I noticed that there was movement at the entrance of the passage and came out again. Who knew that it was you."

Mu Tianchen looked a little scared and looked at Bai Xiao and said, "Fortunately you dodged in time, otherwise if I couldn't hold back the attack, I would have hurt you."

"Haha, it's not that easy to hurt me." Bai Xiao glanced at the other party, but was a little unhappy about being underestimated.

Of course, she was a little scared now, because judging from the attack just now, Mu Tianchen seemed to be so "a little bit" better than her.

Mu Tianchen didn't even expose it, and glanced at the girl with a smile, then focused on the entrance of the passage.

Of course, Bai Xiao would not reveal his own shortcomings. Seeing Mu Tianchen looking at the entrance, he truthfully told the information he knew: "As far as I know, this stone tablet on Jingyu Mountain was erected by a monk more than a hundred years ago. At that time, Jingyu Mountain was the inner mountain of a temple. There was a private school built on the mountain. This private school was the predecessor of Binhe University of Technology, and it has a history of more than 150 years."

"Later, for various reasons, the temple was relocated. It is said that this stone tablet was erected by a monk when it was relocated. Rumors were opened. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it may be true."

"I have heard of these too." Mu Tianchen nodded, and then Bai Xiao continued to say, "In fact, before the establishment of Jingyu Zen Temple, it was said that this was a charity house specially used by the government to park the bodies of those unclaimed dead people."

"Yizhuang?" Bai Xiao's shock flashed by. She really didn't know that Binhe University of Technology... was actually established on the original site of the Yizhuang. No matter how you look at it, it gave people a creepy feeling.

"Yes." Mu Tianchen nodded affirmatively, "I have read the local county annals and found that there are a brief description of the relevant situation in the county annals."

"According to the county chant and literature, the Yizhuang was established for a long time. Due to insufficient manpower and neglecting management, rodents often bite the corpse here."

"You know, the ancients all believed that the whole body should be left after death. Only in this way could they get the approval of the City God to go to the underworld. Therefore, the body was gnawed, and the government also had concerns, worried that the people who died in vain were too heavy, so they later invited a master to save these people who died in vain. After that, the master came here, he surveyed the terrain and felt that the place had formed a yin house, so he specially built a large-scale construction to establish a temple to suppress it. Later, a private school was set up to guard the yang energy of a boy."

Bai Xiao listened and looked at Mu Tianchen in surprise, but couldn't explain clearly what happened. Isn't this much clearer than the person who is studying here?

"Later, the temple was moved and the private schools were gone, so this stone tablet was erected to suppress the soul?" she asked in surprise.

"That's not clear." Mu Tianchen shook his head, "Really speaking, since the temple was built, it has no longer served as a charity village. After nearly a hundred years of incense, the original spiritual spirit has long been saved."

"So, erecting this stone tablet has other uses!" Bai Xiao reacted.

Mu Tianchen nodded solemnly.

...

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

After being silent for a long time, Bai Xiao suddenly asked.

"What's up?"

"Why did you appear here? Yesterday, before I discovered the zombie, I saw you appear on Jingyu Mountain. Why did you hide from me again?"

Mu Tianchen looked at Bai Xiao’s serious eyes and said helplessly: “You said everything. You found a zombie on Jingyu Mountain at that time. In fact, I also discovered an abnormality at that time, so I came here specially. You thought... If I showed up at that time, would you misunderstand that I did all this?"

"So you hide first?"

"Yes, it's better to have less than more things. I don't want our meeting again to be in that context."

After hearing this, Bai Xiao said "hehe" and ignored his statement.

Although Mu Tianchen was her classmate and playmate, she would not relax her vigilance against him just because she was familiar with each other.

People will change. Six years are too long. A docile benevolent person may become black-hearted and use any means to achieve his goals. She is not so naive that she hopes that a person will always maintain his true nature.

Even though she hoped in her heart... Mu Tianchen was still the Mu Tianchen she knew. But once she entered the Spirit Realm, who knew whether all this could be done as she wished, especially when he lost contact six years ago, it was so abrupt, but now it appeared again, it was so sudden, and he seemed to be very clear about his situation, which forced Bai Xiao to be cautious.

It seemed that the other party's vigilance was seen from Bai Xiao's attitude. Mu Tianchen was a little stunned and soon smiled helplessly.

"Let's go, let's go into the passage and take a look..." After saying that, Mu Tianchen took the lead in entering the passage.

Bai Xiao hesitated for a moment, took a breath quickly, and followed him in.

She was not afraid of Mu Tianchen's malice. On the one hand, this possibility was extremely low. After all, the two were childhood friends. Judging from their current gender, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were childhood sweethearts. Mu Tianchen had no reason to harm her; on the other hand, she also believed in her own strength, and with the turtle sword and the mysterious phoenix, Bai Xiao was confident... Her safety was still very guaranteed.

Down into the channel.

The dark environment did not prevent Bai Xiao from seeing the situation inside clearly.

As Mu Tianchen said, this is a long corridor.

"I'll go ahead, you'll follow behind..." Mu Tianchen whispered.

Bai Xiao nodded and followed.

The corridor is very long and has a spiral shape of a certain arc. After walking about twenty meters, when the two of them reached a certain distance, they suddenly became clear.

This is a spacious space, with a length and width of more than five meters and a height of three meters. Is it a... huge tomb chamber?

I saw a circle of stone-carved lamp holders standing around the tomb. These lamp holders are about one meter high, carved from white marble, with a single body and an oil cup on the top, with a total of twelve seats.

Of course, what attracted Bai Xiao and the others' attention was not only these twelve lamp holders, but a huge sarcophagus located in the center of the tomb.

The sarcophagus was hanging upside down, about half a meter away from the ground. Around the sarcophagus were inlaid with black beads.

"This is..." Bai Xiao's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he took two steps forward, but was pulled by Mu Tianchen.

"Don't go over, there's something strange about this coffin!"

"Huh?" Bai Xiao calmed down and saw that... there was indeed something strange about this coffin.

Generally speaking, the coffin is composed of six wooden boards with "four long and two short", among which the top and bottom are called "heaven and earth", the left and right are called "sun and moon", and the front and back are short, which are called colorful heads and tails. Usually the lid of the coffin will be trapezoidal in a certain arc, one end is large and the other end is small, like a growing tree, which is a metaphor for returning to nature. However, the sarcophagus in front of you is not...

Bai Xiao was shocked to find that it was actually in the same shape on all sides, which was composed of four coffin lids and two colorful tails! Each direction was a coffin lid, and the shape was strange.

"how so!"

Bai Xiao was puzzled.

"It's true that it's a bit weird, facing the sky, not down the ground, and the sarcophagus is hanging upside down with its head facing down! Although I don't know why it was set up like this, do you feel that there is a decay surrounding it?"

"Huh!" Bai Xiao really felt it when he heard Mu Tianchen say this.

Then her nose moved slightly, and her eyebrows frowned and felt uncomfortable. This breath was very decayed, not the smell of the object rotting, but the decay from spiritual power. It made people feel a little dizzy if they smelled too much. At the same time, the spiritual power seemed to be imprisoned by some kind of power.

"Look here!" Bai Xiao shouted in surprise.

Mu Tianchen walked over, but saw the hanging sarcophagus. A coffin board actually released a hole, and it was about to collapse.

And the rotten aura came from the coffin.

Zheng! A gentle chant flashed instantly.

"What are you doing?" Bai Xiao saw that there was a shiny long sword in Mu Tianchen's hand. Before she could figure it out, Mu Tianchen raised his hand and raised it, and a touch of spiritual power was emitted from the tip and headed towards the sarcophagus.

Wow! The heavy sound of falling to the ground, the originally loose coffin lid fell to the ground, causing a vast white dust.
