Knocking in the Deep of Night

Zhang Chen, with a bundle of explosives tied around his waist, happily went up the mountain to find flint, preparing to make a fuse for the flint. Then, seeing the sky gradually darken, he carried his Luoyang Shovel to search for traps.

Today's harvest was bountiful, with two pheasants and one unlucky rabbit. Zhang Chen couldn't help but marvel at the richness of this world's resources. Rabbits and pheasants were everywhere in the mountains, but the common people lacked hunting skills and couldn't catch them at all.

Of course, the mountains were not without danger; there were also many wolf packs and venomous snakes. However, because of the True Dragon Tomb in this area, all snakes voluntarily gathered around the True Dragon Tomb, resulting in fewer people in the vicinity being harmed by snakes.

Zhang Chen carried the pheasants home. Today, he didn't see the Fox Spirit at the door. Zhang Chen felt a bit strange in his heart, wondering why the Fox Spirit wasn't guarding the front door and was running around instead.

Casually hanging the pheasants on the wall, Zhang Chen didn't have to wait long before there was movement from next door. He saw the Fox Spirit, looking dispirited, holding a pheasant and disappearing, completely lacking her usual liveliness.

"Huh, has this Fox Spirit changed her personality? Why does she have this expression today?" Zhang Chen secretly wondered.

However, he didn't care. He boiled water in the house, took a sip of the hot water, and after a brief wash, went straight to bed with his clothes on.

He had explosives on him now and didn't dare to take off his clothes casually. If the Fox Spirit were to grab the explosives, the trouble would be immense. If the Fox Spirit suddenly ignited the explosives in the middle of the night, he wouldn't be prepared for the power of the explosives.

Inside the Great Tomb

As the sky gradually darkened and turned black, a wisp of black smoke gradually flew out from the Stone Tablet, emerging from inside the tomb. After a brief identification, it disappeared into the air.

In the village, the scholar next door, having eaten and drunk his fill, was holding the blood-red inscription and studying it. Suddenly, the blood-red inscription shot out beams of red light. The inscriptions seemed to come alive, staining the white paper a deep red.

"Huh, why are these characters suddenly glowing?" The scholar, Zhang Chen, looked at the deep red characters in his hand, which were like flames shooting out red light, illuminating the entire room in a deep red. It felt as if he were in a sea of blood-red, and an ominous feeling enveloped the entire room, leaving him dumbfounded.

"Impossible!"

Just then, the little fox lying in a basket nearby was startled by the anomaly. It suddenly climbed up and stared at the blood-red characters, its eyes filled with deep horror: "Isn't that ghostly thing always suppressed in the tomb? How does it have the ability to manifest in the outside world?"

The little fox suddenly leaped up, jumped onto the bed, and bit the quilt on the bed, directly covering the blood-red scripture with it. However, the blood-red scripture was full of profound meaning, seemingly containing some strange power. The light actually penetrated the quilt, still emitting an ominous red glow.

"Damn it! How could this happen? How can the characters copied from the Stone Tablet glow?" The little fox's voice was filled with panic: "My Qingqiu clan is responsible for guarding the Emperor Daughter Tomb, but something like this has never happened? I only wanted to dig up some things to improve the plight of my Qingqiu clan, how could I cause such a mess?"

The little fox was a bit flustered at this moment, pressing down on the paper with its body, hoping to cover the blood-red light. But just then,

Suddenly, a gust of black wind blew outside the window. The black wind stirred up sand and stones, and the entire village was enveloped by the black wind. For a moment, the flying sand and stones caused the thatched huts to wail and howl.

"Damn it! Strange power has leaked out from the Goddess's tomb?" A hint of panic appeared in the little fox's eyes.

Just then, the red light on the paper in the room suddenly extinguished, and everything became quiet. Only the overwhelming strong wind howled in the dark night. The scholar, Zhang Chen, looked at the little fox pressing down on the scripture and came back to his senses, saying, "It seems this scripture is quite extraordinary, actually causing such an anomaly. There's a great secret worth investigating here."

The bookworm, Zhang Chen, relaxed at this moment. He looked at the scripture with a relaxed expression in his eyes and reached out to hug the little fox onto the bed next to him.

Zhang Chen's mood relaxed, but the little fox did not. At this moment, the little fox's eyes nervously looked out the window. Sure enough, it saw red light flickering outside the window, and a blood-red shadow was reflected on the window paper. After the blood-red shadow made a motion of climbing the window to peek, it flashed and disappeared, and then a knocking sound came.

"Thump, thump, thump~"

The knocking was very rhythmic. Zhang Chen, who was reading, suddenly raised his head and looked outside the door with a surprised expression: "Strange, who is knocking at the door in the middle of the night?"

"Who is it?" Zhang Chen slowly stood up in the room and asked.

No one outside the door answered Zhang Chen's words, but the knocking continued, causing Zhang Chen to frown: "Knocking in the middle of the night, it must be something urgent." Then he stood up to open the door, but just as Zhang Chen stood up, the next moment he saw the little fox suddenly jump up and bite Zhang Chen's trouser leg.

"Huh~" Zhang Chen looked at the little fox biting his trouser leg, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He knew that his little fox was not just ordinarily intelligent. At this moment, it was actually biting his trouser leg to stop him from opening the door, which made him pause. Thinking of the middle of the night, the blood-red light emitted by the pages, and the sudden knocking sound outside the door, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously reached out and gripped the inkstone, his face turning pale. He wasn't a fool.

Seeing Zhang Chen stop, the little fox released its mouth and stared intently at the door, its eyes full of disbelief: "How could this happen? How could that monster find Zhang Chen? Is it because the characters on the tombstone carry the monster's aura?"

At this moment, the knocking outside the door became more urgent, like rain hitting banana leaves, startling Zhang Chen so much that he didn't dare to breathe. He gripped the inkstone tightly in his hand, while the little fox's eyes darted around. The next moment, its soul projected out, and it directly picked up the document and went into Zhang Chen's room, threw the document into Zhang Chen's room, and ran back as fast as it could:

"I hope the strange power on this guy can scare this ghostly thing away! Otherwise, we're all in big trouble!"

Sure enough, as the document was moved to Zhang Chen's room, the knocking outside the door stopped, and then the sound of receding footsteps was heard, followed by a series of knocking sounds from Zhang Chen's thatched hut.

"Who is it! Who's knocking in the middle of the night, I'm not here!" Zhang Chen, half-asleep, heard the urgent knocking, cursed, and then pulled the quilt over his head and continued to sleep soundly.
