And all around the cave, countless pieces of gold and silver jewelry were scattered.
It was as if all the burial items were dumped here in a rush.
But Bai Zhi’er saw that there were four ordinary coffins placed in the corners, without any yellow talisman affixed.
On the ground nearby, there were even several scattered white bones.
The crying she heard earlier had also vanished at this mont.
In the cave, there was only dead silence!
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but speak: "Was soone crying just now?"
Her soft child-like voice echoed here, making it feel even more spacious.
Suddenly!
A black shadow swept past behind her.
Bai Zhi’er jerked her head back, her watery eyes filled with confusion.
"Who is it?"
She looked at the deathly silent cave, asking softly.
But no one answered.
Yet, Bai Zhi’er felt the cave seed to be getting colder.
Moreover, she could sense a strong hostility, waiting for the right mont to approach her.
At the sa ti.
Feng Fuce, the Xiu Luo Envoys, and Guoguo had already arrived at the opening where Bai Zhi’er fell.
The Xiu Luo Envoys lit the Flint, leaning over to shine it downward.
They frowned and said: "It’s too deep, we can’t see the bottom."
Soone shouted: "Your Highness! Are you there?"
No response.
Guoguo watched from the side, stunned.
"Could this be the legendary Evil Ghost Cave?"
Feng Fuce glanced at him: "What’s the Evil Ghost Cave?"
The aura inside indeed seed unusual.
"I also heard from the elders, more than sixty years ago, in Yongquan Village, there was a beautiful and wealthy widow who, after marrying another man in the village, was found having an affair with soone else."
"In a fit of rage, her husband accidentally killed her, and she was buried around the village."
"But they all say, that widow turned into a fierce ghost after her death, forever lingering in the village."
"Sotis, people could even hear her mournful and shrill cries."
"And once, so unwitting tomb robbers heard that the widow’s grave was buried with many precious gold and silver jewelry, so they ca to steal, but none of them ever ca out alive!"
As Guoguo spoke, fear surfaced in his eyes.
"She wouldn’t have fallen right into it, would she? Evil ghosts harming people, it’s real!"
Feng Fuce narrowed his eyes.
Almost instantly, he ordered the Xiu Luo Envoys.
"You stay here and watch A Guo, I’m going down to rescue the Princess."
Lei Hu, the Xiu Luo Envoy, was anxious: "Marquis! If down there is truly as perilous as A Guo said, how can we be at ease with you going alone."
Feng Fuce replied coldly: "No more nonsense, keep an eye on him, I’ll be back soon."
With that, he leaped down.
Guoguo was dumbfounded.
Did he just jump without hesitation?
And he’s going alone, facing a fierce ghost!
Bai Zhi’er walked with her little feet to the large coffin in the center.
She reached out and tugged on the red string tied to the coffin.
The Copper Coins clashed, emitting a crisp and eerie sound.
In such a cave, it sounded particularly clear.
The little one pressed her ear against the coffin.
In her soft and endearing child voice: "Was it you crying just now? If you hear, please respond!"
Naturally, there was no response.
Just then, she heard a rumbling sound behind her.
Bai Zhi’er turned around to see that the stone gate had closed on its own!
Without the light from the wall lamps outside, the cave instantly fell into complete darkness.
Bai Zhi’er wasn’t afraid of the dark; despite not being able to see, she remained calm.
This place wasn’t all that scary, at least there were no large rats!
She just mumbled a bit discontentedly: "Closing without warning, how rude, hmph!"
