Celestial Masters Alliance

Xiaoba responded. Shan Yu saw me following Mu Mu, so he had to follow Xiaoba to find the stairs.

The wood led me to the wall at the gate, and I used a torch to shine on the wall for me to see. There is a smooth stone slab inlaid on the wall, and the beautiful handwriting on the stone slab is engraved: Phoenix Mausoleum, built in 1935. Founders: Zhu Shirong, Zhao Yusheng, Wang Xi, Miao Qiaoying, Tan Jingjiang, Zhang Yunhe, Ma Qingshan. I was stunned for a moment. Isn’t Zhu Shirong my great-grandfather’s name?

My family's genealogy is on my grandma's incense table. Both Mu Mu and I have read it, so we are naturally impressed by the names of our recent ancestors. Was this tower built by my great-grandfather? It wouldn’t be surprising if there is only one name that shares the same meaning as my great-grandfather’s! But the Zhao, Wang and Miao families, who have been friends with the Zhu family for generations, all overlap, what a coincidence! So I can be sure that Zhu Shirong who built this tower is my great-grandfather. What's the point of a big landowner in the silk and satin business building a tower in the middle of a war? I've never heard anything about this tower either.

Zhao Yusheng... I looked at Zhao Shuang and pointed to Zhao Yusheng's name. He shook his head. Also, didn't Grandma tell us when she gave us something last time that we couldn't tell Mu Mu about his grandfather, and this Zhao Yusheng should be the great-great-grandfather's generation! Grandma told him to remember... what to remember? He's just a good person anyway.

"Brother! Over here!" The trumpet greeted us from a distance. I responded, quickly took out my phone and took a picture of the stone slab.

"Let's go! We can't figure it out anyway! But next time we go back, we can trick the aunt." Mu Mu nodded lightly, and we followed the sound of the trumpet.

The stairs were leaning against the corner. They were quite simple, without even handrails. They looked like a piece of origami leaning against the wall and extending upward. I complained in my mind, is this cutting corners or insufficient funds? Mu Mu held the torch, passed Xiaoba and Shan Yu and took the lead towards the second floor. Xiaoba followed the wood, and I walked at the end to protect Shan Yu. My steps were a little shaky on the thin stairs. Perhaps because we were afraid of the dark, we both walked softly, and even breathed softly, for fear that we would not be discovered in time. Mortal danger. I felt a cold sweat start to form on the back of my neck.

The second floor looked more empty than the first floor, and there were even fewer pillars. I was a little lucky, but also a little disappointed. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any danger when I entered, but I was disappointed that I didn't find any valuable clues. Mu Mu turned his head and looked at me, then took the lead and walked upstairs.

Xiaoba's steps began to be sluggish, and after a moment's hesitation, he followed the wood. Shan Yu's curiosity remained unabated, and he followed Xiaoba closely.

"I'm going!" Trumpet shouted from the entrance of the stairs.

"What's wrong?" I asked, looking up at the dancing figure in the firelight.

The trumpet was blocked at the entrance of the stairs for a while. Shan Yu had no choice but to push him, and then he carefully gave up his position.

When I stood on the third floor, I finally understood why Xiaoba was so shocked. Everything on the third floor was wrapped in white. I looked carefully at the wall closest to me. The white color looked like insect protein secretions, such as It is said that moth larvae leave similar traces when they migrate. Of course, it may also be the cocoon that the larvae made for themselves when they evolved.

The bulging little bags tilt the truth towards the cocoon.

"What could be inside?" Xiaoba curiously reached out to touch it, but was pulled by the wood.

Mu Mu turned back to me and said, "Give me a pair of rubber gloves."

I responded. This guy really understood my habits and knew what I brought without asking.

I took off my backpack and dug out the first aid kit, and Mu Mu asked again: "Did you bring any knives?"

As I handed him the rubber gloves, I began to count the tools I brought: "I brought No. 3 and No. 4 extended scalpels, tissue scissors and suture removal scissors."

Mu Mu sighed with disdain and looked at me and asked, "Don't you have a utility knife with you?"

"I'm not a killer, why don't you carry a knife with you! It's just to open the cocoon, any knife is the same!" Shan Yu helped me with lighting, and I quickly put the blade on the No. 4 extended scalpel holder and handed it to the wood . After rummaging in the backpack for a while, I found the tool scissors I took from the trunk: "And this!" Zhao Shuang took it from my hand without saying a word.

Xiaoba was shining light on the wood and muttered: "These threads seem to be very sticky, I'm afraid they won't be easy to break."

Mu Mu ignored him and started to attack a relatively large cocoon with a scalpel. As soon as the blade of the knife touched the silk thread, it was immediately stuck and he couldn't use any force at all. Wood handed the knife back to me and used tool scissors to painstakingly dismantle it. The cocoon silk is very dense, and the layers are extremely thick. Both Xiaoba and Shan Yu were very excited. I hid in the back and began to feel flustered and nauseous. I had difficulty breathing and my blood pressure continued to rise.

I held my chest and turned my head to look far away, as if this would make me feel better. The load-bearing pillar was not far from me, and even in the low light, I could tell that it was not covered in white cocoons. strangeness! I took the torch in Shan Yu's hand and walked towards the load-bearing pillar. That's right, not to mention white cocoons on the pillar, there wasn't even a single white thread. There were more feathers embossed on the load-bearing pillar on this floor, like the middle part of the tail. , with a more three-dimensional pattern, logically speaking, these corners should be filled with dust, but from the perspective of the eye, the pillar body is a bit too clean. I blew on the pillar, and apart from the dust in the air, no more dust was raised. Could it be that someone cleans this place every day?

"Ah!" A scream interrupted my thoughts. I looked towards the scream, and my body immediately stiffened, and all my hairs stood up as if attracted by static electricity. A large number of spiders are pouring out from the cocoon opened in the wood. Spiders the size of palms on the ground are spreading out like a tide. Xiaoba and the others had no choice but to retreat towards me.

sky! If there is any animal in this world that is my nemesis, then spiders are definitely number one. No wonder I felt extremely uncomfortable just now. It turned out that I had a premonition of its coming. My heart was beating violently, as if it was pumping in a desperate struggle, and every time it beat, it no longer pumped fresh blood into the blood vessels, but continued to inflate the blood.

"Go upstairs quickly!" Mu Mu, the troublemaker, shouted, and Shan Yu ran towards the stairs behind him.

"Brother! It's okay! They haven't come here yet!" Xiaoba has lived with me for many years and naturally knows my weaknesses. "I'll use torches to set up defenses! Let's go!" Xiaoba pulled me towards the stairs.

My body has been filled with air, and I followed him lightly when I was pulled by the trumpet.

The situation on the fourth floor was similar to that on the third floor. The whole room was white, and even the ground was covered with white cocoons. There was barely room to put my feet down, and I stared at the wood, and he stared at the white cocoon on the ground. Xiaoba asked: "Brother Mumu, do you want to open another one and take a look?"

"Open it and look at it, you expect your wife to be wrapped up here." I cursed, beginning to suspect that there was no point in coming to Phoenix Mausoleum other than to be frightened.

The trumpet was still holding me, who was almost unconscious. Shan Yu asked with some worry: "Zhu Mo? What's wrong with you?"

Of course I couldn't show my timidity in front of Shan Yu, so I quickly answered with my lips curled up: "It's okay, I just have a little headache." The sound I made reached my ears, as if the ear canals were filled with water, and every word had to pass through the water. conveyed to the mind.

Shan Yu frowned and glanced at Xiaoba, but still kept up with Mu Mu's pace. Xiaodao whispered to me: "The corridor on the third floor is blocked by spiders, we can only go up. Brother! Can you still hold on?"

I nodded numbly. I cursed in my heart, so what if I can't hold on.
