I am the tomb keeper

As for the emperor, nine out of ten like the power over ten thousand people and the ease of being supported and served by others.So most emperors will be buried for those who built their tombs.

A large part of this is the carpenter.And they are all top-notch craftsmen with superb craftsmanship.

In the dream, "Wind Sound Wood" has given him a hint, as long as there is a carpenter, he can help them open the locked city.

Baihu led Jiang Zhao all the way to an empty tomb, unlike other places where there are flat bluestone slabs, there is only one huge tower here.

The blue-gray lotus pagoda goes straight to the top of the cave, and the white tiger stands there. Jiang Zhao can clearly see from behind that the so-called pagoda is actually very much like the pagoda in the temple.

The pagoda is used to bury monks who passed away, and this pagoda is also used to bury people.

But the first is not burial, and the second is not the dead.

If you look closely, you will find that the tower is made of rectangular wooden boxes.Different wooden boxes have patterns of different light colors, although they are not luxurious but very delicate, they are obviously made by different carpenters.

The size of the wooden box is just enough to accommodate the curled up body of an adult.

And in the mural illuminated by the wall lamp lit by the white tiger, it can be seen that a monster drives many people to secretly build a tomb for him on a beautiful palace, and the owner of the palace is still kept in the dark by the monster.

After the tomb was built, the monster drove a tiger and killed many people in the palace while the owner of the palace was away.Some of them hid in a city in the garden of the palace. They destroyed the mechanism of entering the city and closed the city made of locks tightly.

So the monster ordered his soldiers to take the carpenters who were about to be killed outside the city and let them open the city.It took thousands of carpenters two days and two nights to open a small opening in the city gate, and the monster set fire to choke the people in the city with smoke.But those people would rather die than come out.

The monster was furious. It thought the carpenters were incompetent.It took two days to open a small opening, so that its army could not enter, and the people in the city were not captured alive.

So he figured out a way to punish these hateful carpenters.It ordered the carpenter to make the most exquisite wooden box, and whoever made the best one would put it back.

The carpenters tried their best to make the best works of their lives in order to go home.Then the monster ordered them to lie in the box so that the soldiers could transport them out of the tomb. After all, not everyone can see the whole picture and location of the tomb.

The carpenters believed it, and they curled up and lay down in the box, and some tall carpenters even broke their own legs to lie down in it.

Then the monster laughed and ordered the soldiers to nail the box, and ignored the howls and howls of the carpenters, and stacked them layer by layer to form a lotus tower.

The carpenters saw hope from despair, but fell into hell from hope.So their ghosts refused to disperse, cursing monsters and the world in this tower.

The recorder of this mural left his own message at the end of the mural.

A blue-gray box.

The delicate dark gray pattern slowly stood out and condensed in the eyes of the three, and finally turned into a crying and smiling face.

A howl of resentment roared out of its wide-open mouth, the tall lotus tower trembled, and harsh scratching sounds continued to be heard.

The blue-gray box made a shattering sound, and dense white bones protruded from the box, swinging and scratching, as if continuing the struggle to break through the box during his lifetime.

Countless bone claws protruded, but none of them were complete. The phalanges were broken, and some of them were even missing. The fractures were covered with wear marks.

In the eyes of Jiang Zhao and his party, the blue-gray pagoda looks like a huge pear tree, "Suddenly like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and thousands of pear blossoms bloom." It is so vivid.

The white tiger pulled the mermaid master back without a trace, even if there were so many skeletons, he would not be able to protect these two people well, but if something happened to Jiang Zhao, the mermaid master would definitely not forgive him.

Just when the white tiger was feeling melancholy and distressed, Jiang Zhao lifted his feet and walked towards the face on the wall.

Seeing Jiang Zhao approaching, Human Face suddenly stretched out bone claws from its empty mouth.Jiang Zhao calmly slapped away a bone arm that almost disfigured him, "Don't make trouble, I'm here to discuss business with you."

"Ahh~" The shrill scream changed its tone.Talk about business?Did you make a mistake, you?You do business with the dead?You are courting death!

"I know you are conscious. I'm here to discuss business. A deal where you can only make money." It's hard for a carpenter to become a ghost.How to say, the tools used by the carpenter belong to the 28 constellations, so it is almost impossible to see the carpenter's house haunted.

A good carpenter carries tools with him, just like you are used to a brand of cosmetics and always use them.A carpenter calls his tools old buddies, and he will talk to them if he has any troubles, so the tools are inseparable.

With the carpenter's tools, the resentment in this tomb will not affect the dead carpenter. Even if the carpenter wants to turn into a ghost, there are stars to control them.

The screaming face slowly separated from the wall, the blue-gray stone and soil continued to peel off from its face, and the dense white bones became more and more clear.

A skeleton came out from the wall, and the two eyeballs in the eye sockets rolled around several times.

"Hey, I haven't come out for a long time, these eyes are not obedient, little brother, are you talking about business? Wait a moment, wait a moment." The skeleton greeted Jiang Zhao with a crumbling accent, and used the bone claws to hold the eyeballs by the way. Pick out the sub, turn them one by one and press them in again.

"Little brother, sit down." The skeleton waved his hand and asked the bone to bring the stone table and chair. "There's no tea or anything here, so let's just talk about it, little brother."

Is this business familiar?Jiang Zhao was surprised, were all carpenters so good in the past?Can you still do business and do carpentry?

"To tell you the truth, little brother, I'm a businessman. I brought this group of carpenters into the tomb, and I'm also helping to negotiate any business now." Skull patted his head honestly.

"Businessman? Then you are also..."

"No." The skeleton understood what Jiang Zhao wanted to say. "I was let out when the carpenters were buried alive."

The skeleton bowed its head, and its two bone claws were tightly kneaded together. "I found thousands of carpenters one by one. I told them that there is a big job here. After I finish it, I will live comfortably for the rest of my life. I will also work with them." The family members said they will definitely bring them back safely."

The skeleton's voice was hoarse, "In the end, I didn't keep any of them. I went back alive, so what face would I have to see their wives, children, and mothers. It's useless even if I knelt down in front of people and smashed my head."

"So I sneaked back after those soldiers left. If I couldn't save them, I would die with them. I put away the carpenter's tools, and found a dry wall to embed myself in."

The skeleton touched its empty chest, "Little brother, don't look at me as a businessman who is a traitor and loves money. But I have a conscience. Although my place has long been rotten to dust, I understand that I have to guard them, and I cannot let them Become ghosts. Ghosts can't be reincarnated, I can't let them have no afterlife."

"So even if I'm a watchdog, I have to guard them."

"I understand." Jiang Zhao nodded, the ancients paid attention to a word of righteousness.These were the carpenters he indirectly killed. Even if the merchant really escaped by himself, he would be so guilty that he couldn't even sleep well.

But the businessman told him so much to tell him in advance that the businessman is very conscientious in doing business, so Jiang Zhao can talk about it with confidence, and he can control the undead when he guards the carpenters. If there is any action that endangers them, the businessman has enough ability to make Jiang Zhao come and go.

Jiang Zhao understood the businessman's warning. "Then let's open the skylight and speak honestly. I came to ask you carpenters to help me open the locked city, and the reward is to break the curse and let you out of the tomb."

The skeleton didn't answer, and neither did Jiang Zhao.He knew that the businessman had to think about it. After all, the carpenters died because they opened the locked city. It is not clear whether they are willing to let them go again.

"I have to discuss it with them, little brother, let us think about it." This is a temptation.It has been thousands of years, even though their wives and children have been reincarnated for several generations, they are still looking forward to going back to see them.

The skeleton returned to the wall, and the bones on the Tower of White Bone also fell silent.Jiang Zhao waited patiently, he was absolutely sure, so he was not in a hurry.

Soon the skeleton came out again, and its two eyeballs flashed a sharp light, "Little brother, we can open the lock for you. But is it true what you said about letting us out?"

Jiang Zhao smiled and took out a piece of talisman, "There is a moment in this tomb, which traps all the dead souls in the tomb. This talisman can break the formation for a moment, and a moment is enough for you to get out of the tomb."

The businessman stared at the piece of talisman. It is true that there was indeed a moment on the tomb. After his death, his soul searched for it for a long time but could not find it.This person could sense that maybe his talisman paper was real too.

The businessman decides to take a gamble, and if he wins the bet, he makes money.If you lose the bet, at worst, you can kill him.But the businessman has a good plan.

"Okay, then we'll take over the business." As soon as the merchant's voice fell, the lotus pagoda collapsed in an instant.Thousands of skeletons twisted together, like a centipede, everything they passed was dug out, and the businessman sat on the centipede's head and followed it out of the hole.

The bone's speed was too fast, and when Jiang Zhao and the others arrived at Suomen City, the bone centipede had already climbed up the cliff on the other side, and then the centipede stepped on a tool, and wherever it climbed, it made a 'click' sound The sound of unlocking.

Maybe it was something that happened once before, and soon the city of Suomen was opened wide, and the businessman kindly helped Jiang Zhao and the others cross the cliff.

Jiang Zhao gave the talisman paper to the merchant, and dripped blood on the talisman paper.As soon as the businessman took the talisman paper, he was sucked away by a force, along with the bone centipede.

Before they could say goodbye, Jiang Zhao and the others entered the city without stopping.

And he didn't know what would happen to the carpenters who were sent out.

On the way, the mermaid owner asked Jiang Zhao how he got the talisman paper, and Jiang Zhao smiled triumphantly, "It's nothing, my wife gave it to me."

……

Wang Li's home is near Beishan. At night, after putting her child to sleep, she dreamed of a man.The man was dressed in tatters, and when he saw her, he quickly took out a jade plug from his body and gave it to her.

"I'm back." The man touched his clothes in embarrassment. "Is that your current husband? Is he treating you well?"

Wang Li turned her head to look at her husband who was lying on the bed and wrapped her in his arms, and nodded happily.

When the man saw it, his eyes were red and he said several times, "That's good."

"You take that piece of jade. It's my wages. I didn't give you a good life, and I didn't grow old with you. Maybe he can." The man wiped his tears in embarrassment.

Wang Li didn't know him, but she felt a throbbing pain in her heart.She stepped forward and carefully wiped away tears for the man.Subconsciously said, "I don't blame you."

The man smiled, "I have to go, you, you have a good life, you must live a good life." The man's words were incoherent.

Wang Li wanted to say something but found that the man was gone.And beside her ear was her husband's voice, "Lili, wake up, Lili, what's wrong with you?"

What's up with her?Wang Li opened her eyes strangely, and the coolness on her face made her startled, did she cry?

Why?Hey, why does she have a piece of jade in her hand?

Wang Li didn't remember what her dream was about.

And on that same night, many people got a lot of valuable things inexplicably.They also didn't know what they were dreaming about.

There are also many people who later found out that there was a simple new tomb in their ancestral tomb. Someone bravely dug it up, but found only a skeleton with incomplete phalanx and a few old and corrupt carpenter's tools inside...
