You wait here, don't come in without my order, and don't leave, just wait here for me to come out. "

The butler nodded repeatedly.

Only then did Lu Xi hold the candle and continue to walk down. Although the steps were not long, the angle was very steep, almost straight up and down. When Lu Xi's feet landed on the floor of the basement, he looked up and saw that Butler Li was nowhere to be seen.

He shouted again if he was there, and after getting a reply from above, he relaxed a little.

From above, Lu Xi felt that the space in the warehouse was not small, but when he came to the basement and held a candle in front of his eyes, he felt the emptiness here even more.

Although the upper space is large, it is filled with miscellaneous furnishings, and this basement is empty except for a few rows of old bookcases.

Even the sound of footsteps on the ground will echo in the basement.

Holding a candle, Lu Xi walked towards the first row of bookshelves, and found that there were actually some scriptures piled up on them. At a glance, the "Diamond Sutra", "Agama Sutra", "Prajna Sutra", and "Lotus Sutra" were basically seen in the market. There are Buddhist scriptures that have been found here, and there are even many manuscripts.

Does anyone in the Xia family believe in Buddhism?

After that, Lu Xi walked towards the second row of bookshelves. Although there were still scriptures piled up on them, he finally found something different this time.

This row of bookshelves is obviously cleaner than the first row. Although there is some dust on it, it is obviously cleaned recently. Moreover, there is a shrine in the center of the bookshelves, an incense burner in front of it, and some early morning bookshelves around it. Only the spoiled pastries and offering fruits, but the statues in the shrine are covered with red cloth, and the things inside cannot be seen from the outside.

Staring at the protruding outline under the red cloth, Lu Xi vaguely felt that it was a human figure. Thinking of the many talismans pasted on the outer gate and the entrance to the basement, he wondered if the red cloth might be a dried corpse of a child.

Just in case, he first used the "heart of the heart" from the system, and if there was an accident later, he could immediately pop up the barrier to protect himself.

Lu Xi grabbed a corner of the red cloth and pulled it off vigorously, but to his surprise, there was actually a golden Buddha statue under the red cloth.In terms of texture, it looks like gold, shining brightly in the dim candlelight, and the Buddha statues are made with benevolent eyebrows and eyes, just like those in temples.

Since it is a Buddha statue, why does it have to be covered with a red cloth?It's not an evil god...

Lu Xi squatted down and carefully checked around the Buddha statue again, but still found nothing abnormal. Finally, he could only cover the red cloth in his hand back and continue walking backwards.

He walked to the third row of bookshelves again. This time, the piles of books were no longer Buddhist scriptures. They were filled with all kinds of antiques and collectibles, some of which were rough ceramics baked in various official kilns and private kilns. , and some are novel gadgets from the West, with various shapes. Lu Xi took a few of them and looked at them, and then recognized the kaleidoscope and telescope, and couldn't guess the rest.

Suddenly he paused, and found a flat photo album on the top shelf of the bookcase, and pulled it out.

He quickly opened the album and looked, the photos inside were all in black and white, although the album looked very thick, but when he opened it, many of them were pasted letter paper, and there were only a few real photos here and there.

Finally, Lu Xi found a family portrait of the Xia family. From the photo, the ones sitting in the front should be the late Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia. Standing behind them is a delicate girl with a hairpin.

Lu Xi stared at the young girl's face carefully, and found that she was very similar to Mrs. Xia's eyebrows, with long eyes and thin eyebrows, wide forehead and pointed chin.

Could this girl be Miss Xia, Qiu Mo's wife?

It can be seen that she looks good, and her limbs are also sound, so why not recruit a son-in-law to marry her?But if the old couple is reluctant to marry their daughter away, maybe.

With doubts in his stomach, Lu Xi continued to flip through the photo album, and a photo was revealed next, which immediately shocked Lu Xi.

This photo is a group photo of a man and a woman. The woman is Miss Xia with delicate features, but the man in the blue shirt next to her has had her head cut off abruptly, exposing the blank space behind. She looks like a creepy headless corpse.

Lu Xi stared at the cropped photo, her heart beating loudly. Could it be that the man in the blue shirt next to him is Qiu Mo?

But who cut this picture?

Why did you cut off Qiu Mo's head?

And looking at the damaged outline around the photo, with a circle of prickly stubble, it looks more like it was cut with something than scissors.Or take it back and take a closer look.

Lu Xi took this photo out of the album and stuffed it into his coat pocket.

After inspecting the three rows of bookshelves, Lu Xi thought it was almost time, so let's go home first.Be careful of the insufficiency of the human heart and swallow the elephant. If you stay for a while, there may be some danger emerging from the darkness.

Holding the candle, Lu Xi walked up to the stairs. Just as she was about to step on the first step, her feet stopped suddenly and her whole body froze.

its not right!

When he walked down just now, there was a layer of dust on the steps, and every step he took would leave a footprint on the dust layer.

But now, the footprints were obviously trampled by something, and it became a mess, as if...

Lu Xi raised the candle in his hand, raised his stiff neck, and looked up a little bit. At some point, the lid of the basement was tightly closed.

And on the steps of the entrance, a huge humanoid spider was hanging upside down, looking straight at him...

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!

75, 75

Lu Xi saw it as a huge spider at first glance, but the upper body of the spider was human-like, with eight legs growing from the waist, more than 20 centimeters longer than normal people, arranged in a circle around the hip bones, The bottom of the foot seems to have a suction cup, and it is firmly sucked on the cover of the basement entrance.

It swayed on eight legs, ready to move towards where Lu Xi was at the bottom of the stairs, its long white hair fell down, covering its face and chest, and only the outline of a human face could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

Lu Xi stood stiffly on the spot, not daring to move for a while. Since the other party looked so much like a spider, maybe his habits were also similar to a spider. Generally, spiders judge the exact location of their prey through the vibrations on the web. , if he keeps still, maybe the other party can't perceive him.

Feeling lucky, Lu Xi held her breath and stopped at the same spot. After waiting for a while, the spider blocking the entrance really crawled towards the other side of the roof. Watching the dark figure gradually go away from the corner of her eye, Lu Xi slowly relaxed. After a sigh of relief, it seems that he was really fooled.

He looked at the distance from himself to the stairwell, and estimated the chances of rushing up the stairs with one lunge, and then pushing the cover to escape.

If the action is fast enough, it seems that there is still time. Anyway, there are still 5 minutes left in the validity period of the "Heart of Di", so it's a gamble.

Lu Xi took a deep breath, spread his legs and rushed upwards, but it was as if there was an inexplicable force behind him pulling him, his legs kicked on the spot for a long time, but his body was too heavy to run.

At this time, a head slowly hung down from the top of the head to the front of the eyes. Under the long disheveled hair, an indescribably terrifying face stood upside down in front of the eyes. The blue and white pupils looked at him without blinking, and the corners of the mouth curled downward. laugh.

Its eyes can see!

Knowing this, it was too late for Lu Xi to escape!

He squatted down and was about to quickly rush out from below, when the foot that was holding his skirt behind him hooked back, easily pulling him back to the original place.At the same time, the monster's other legs also began to move towards this side quickly, and the huge rancid smell filled the air.

Seeing that this half-human, half-spider monster was about to catch Lu Xi, a red barrier suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye!Bounced the spider monster that was about to grab Lu Xi, and hit the opposite wall.

The heart of 聻 took effect!

Because it is not in the third copy, the power of the props will also be weakened a lot. The time limit of the barrier can only last for 30 seconds. Once the time is up, the props will enter a 72-hour cooling period, forced to sleep, and cannot be used continuously.

Lu Xi seized the time and rushed up the stairs under the protection of the barrier. The stairs were not long, and it took less than 5 seconds to reach the top, but the lid on it seemed to be pressed by a heavy object. Even the strength of the whole body could not shake the slightest.

Drops of cold sweat slid down the corners of his forehead, and Lu Xi felt that his hands were scratched, mixed with sweat, and his palms were hot and painful.At this moment, Lu Xi really hated the sissy body and arms like matchsticks assigned to him by the system, it's no wonder he can move it!

[System prompt: 10 seconds countdown to the usage period of the heart of the scorpion. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...] He firmly pushed the cover of the basement above his head with both hands, and looked at the spider monster crawling towards him with eight legs shaking at the bottom of the stairs. Dantian roared out directly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

[System prompt: 2, 1. 】

The spider monster flew over at once, and the barrier in front of him disappeared instantly. Lu Xi's eyes were closed tightly, and suddenly the cover on the top of his head was loosened, and a hand stretched out from the gap of the cover.
