10. Chapter 10 Moonlight Treasure Box
The night was dark, but fortunately, a few days after Halloween, the moon in the sky was still half of the moon, so there was moonlight to pave the way, and it was smooth to walk all the way to the foot of the West Mountain.
Looking at the not too high West Mountain in front of her, Qin Mingyue couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
He always felt that the little female ghost was cheating on his father, but looking at her serious face, it was really impossible to refuse.
Of course, the most important thing is Bai Suya's killer feature.
Divorce!
Threatened to withdraw from the marriage, Qin Mingyue naturally had no choice but to be obedient.
Since I met Bai Suya, I have been unlucky in the past few days.
I was frightened in class, I was frightened after class, and the dormitory was still haunted, and now I have to dig a grave again......
Hey, unlucky things have happened, I'm unlucky enough, can I be even more unlucky?
Emboldened himself, and looked up at the twisted trees growing on the west mountain.
In the moonlight, the shadows of the trees swayed in the wind, like the claws of demons dancing wildly, and there were bursts of rustling sounds.
Not far from the west mountain, there is a small road that winds and turns to the mountain.
This should be the path Bai Suya said.
The path was not too steep, and with the help of a shovel, Qin Mingyue was quite smooth, and walked halfway up the mountain.
It's just that there are occasional bursts of inexplicable sounds behind him, which startles him.
The owls in the woods, as well as the unknown strange calls, made Qin Mingyue feel terrified.
After climbing for half an hour, I finally came to the three-way intersection that Bai Suya said.
The three-way intersection is a herringbone, and from here you go up again, and you separate the two roads.
And at the three-way intersection, sure enough, there is a tree with a crooked neck.
Look at the tree again, there is indeed a low dirt bag.
In the night, the shadows of the crooked-necked trees swayed, and the reflection on the ground was like something hanging from the trees.
I used to hear that most of the crooked neck trees have been hanged, but have you ever seen one on the tree in front of you?
Thinking like this, Qin Mingyue didn't dare to look at that tree.
Although he didn't dare to look, out of the corner of his eye, he always felt that there was a person hanging on the tree, hiding in the sparse leaves, peeking at him.
Leaning against the crooked-necked tree, Qin Mingyue looked at the low grave on the ground.
The tomb had no headstones, and the head was so low that it would not have been possible to see it unless it had been known in advance that it was a tomb.
This is it, since it is here, let's dig it.
Although the little female ghost is unreliable, she really has no intention of killing herself.
Although I don't know what she asked her to dig the grave for, she kept saying that it was a good thing, so let's do it as a good thing.
If it was in the past, Qin Mingyue would definitely not dare to do such a thing.
However, since she encountered the ghost, Qin Mingyue's courage has also increased a lot.
There was not much soil on the grave, and it didn't take long for Qin Mingyue to dig it out.
I continued to dig down, and after digging for more than ten minutes, when I dug to a depth of about half a meter, the shovel touched a hard thing.
Got a coffin?
Qin Mingyue cleared the surrounding soil, and the digging position was expanded a little.
After another ten minutes, I finally dug up what was underneath.
What was buried in the soil was not a coffin, but a large box one meter square.
The large box is painted with red paint and at first glance resembles a coffin.
However, after seeing that this was a box, Qin Mingyue felt less afraid.
Who is it who buries a coffin in the grave instead of a coffin?
Qin Mingyue also became interested in this box.
Standing in the pit, I looked carefully and saw a brass lock hanging from the front of the box.
In the moonlight, a layer of green rust was faintly visible on the lock.
Raise your shovel and slash at the rusty little lock.
With a "click", the lock snapped.
Tearing off the broken lock, Qin Mingyue couldn't suppress her curiosity and hurriedly opened the lid of the box.
The moment he opened the lid of the box, he was still mentally prepared.
Even if there was a corpse inside, he wouldn't be afraid, he was afraid that if he opened the box, something would jump out of it.
A faint smell of decay came. But luckily, the lid of the box was opened, and nothing jumped out of it.
Looking into the box, it was dark.
If you look closely, there is a small wooden box the size of a palm in the huge box.
This is the box that Bai Suya said?
Qin Mingyue hurriedly took out the small box from the box.
If you look closely at the box, there is nothing.
Holding the box, Qin Mingyue jumped out of the pit.
Since taking the elixir given by that old ghost, Qin Mingyue's physical fitness has improved a lot.
Although it can't reach the level of a martial arts master, with Qin Mingyue's strength and reaction speed now, it is no worse than a strong man.
Jumping out of the pit, Qin Mingyue carefully observed this box by the moonlight.
This box doesn't seem to have any gaps, and it looks a bit similar to the moonlight treasure box on TV.
Try chanting "Prajnaparamita"?
Qin Mingyue dispelled this ridiculous idea, but after fiddling with it for a long time, she couldn't open this strange box.
The underground environment is dark and damp, and I don't know how many years this small wooden box has been buried in it, but at this time, I can't feel that it has just been dug up, and there is no dampness or smell.
Whatever, it's the female ghost who wants it anyway, just bring it back to her.
Putting away the wooden box, Qin Mingyue was about to leave.
As soon as I took a step, there was a little silver thing in the box in the pit, which suddenly flashed.
It should be a reflection of moonlight.
But I've checked it just now, and there's nothing in the box, so what kind of flash will it be?
Can't help but be curious, Qin Mingyue moved again and took a step back.
Sure enough, when I came to this position, I saw a little light flashing lightly in the box.
Qin Mingyue changed a few more angles, but she didn't see the bright light.
It seems that only when standing in that position does the reflection appear.
Returning to that position, Qin Mingyue carefully looked for the place in the box that could reflect the light.
It was just an ordinary wooden box, buried in the ground for an unknown amount of time, although it had not completely decayed, but it had rotted extremely fragile, and there was nothing to reflect.
I looked at the time, and it was exactly twelve o'clock in the morning.
If you look at the spot where you can see the reflection, it is due north.
If you follow the direction on the clock, with the wooden box as the center, it is exactly north of the wooden box.
Looking at the moon in the sky, it is also due north of the wooden box.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence, but more like a scene that can only occur at a certain time and place.
If it weren't for this time, if you weren't standing in this position, it would be impossible to see the reflection in the box.
So what exactly is reflective?
Qin Mingyue jumped into the pit again, and the upper half of her body poked into the box, carefully observing the location where there was a bright light just now.
It was a gap in one corner of the chest, and it seemed that the corner had cracked a little because of the rotting of the chest.
Is there anything wrong with that? Nothing seems wrong.
Out of curiosity, Qin Mingyue took a shovel and pried it into the corner, and a layer of wooden veneer was actually pried off.
Pry back the rotten layer of wood, revealing a palm-sized, silvery mass.
I guess it's the light reflected by this thing just now.
As if she had found a treasure, Qin Mingyue couldn't wait to jump into the box and directly reach out to pick it.
The outer layer of veneer had rotted and could easily be torn off.
Finally, in the mezzanine of this box, Qin Mingyue took out a small silver box.
