In Cave
°°°°°°°°°°°°
There were skeletons on the floor. Not few but they were many.
"Why the skeletons are here? Did people come here to take Chronofang? Wait a minute! If someone would have come here for Chronofang then Chao Xiang had been alive a long ago! But he is still in the form of sculpture! That means these skeletons are from his era! But I can't understand a point that how....", Xin Ye said.
"Shhh!", Mu Yang said.
"What?", Xin Ye whispered.
"I am going to take Chronofang in my hands.", Mu Yang said. He came in front of the weapon in a very serious way. His eyes stuck on it as if he would blink then this weapon would fly away.
"Don't touch it!", Xin Ye said. She was looking at a wall.
Mu Yang stopped his hand which was extending toward the Chronofang.
"If you will touch it then you will die! Don't touch it. The book which you solved it was written in it. You didn't notice I think or maybe you doesn't remember but I remember that paragraph!", Xin Ye said.
"Which paragraph?", Mu Yang asked.
"If any human will touch Chronofang then it will die and Chao Xiang will wake up who is in sculpture form from thousand of years. Chao Xiang is not dead! He is in a form of sculpture. He is immortal that's why no one can kill him. Don't... Don't touch it.. Chao Xiang will wake up and he...he will use his demonic powers to rule this world.", Xin Ye said.
"Do you believe in it?", Mu Yang asked.
"Yes! That book took both of us here! Ans we found everything whatever was mentioned in that book. Chronofang really do exist. It means Chao Xiang can be alive again!", Xin Ye said.
Mu Yang clenched his fist.
"It's okay. I'm ready to die but I want to touch it!", Mu Yang said.
Xin Ye held Mu Yang's hand. Mu Yang stopped and looked at his hand which was held by Xin Ye.
"Please! I can't let you die! Look at that wall! It's also written there that whoever will touch Chronofang that the person will die and Chao Xiang will wake up.", Xin Ye said. She really got emotional and her eyes turned wet which showed that she wanted Mu Yang.
"What if I will still live after death! This body is nothing for me!", Mu Yang said.
"Why are you talking nonsense and scaring me! I really cares for you! Yang! Don't talk about death!", Xin Ye said and she held Mu Yang's both hands and didn't let him touch the Chronofang.
"You are worried for a wrong person!", Mu Yang said.
"You are not a wrong person. You are worthy for me! You don't know that how much precious you are for me!", Xin Ye said and got shocked after realizing what she said.
Mu Yang looked into her eyes. Xin Ye felt her heartbeat which was very fast. Her face turned red and she lowered her head.
"Look there and read it carefully. We forget to see there.", Xin Ye said.
Mu Yang looked at the wall. It was clearly mentioned there that whoever would touch the Chronofang would die. Chao Xiang would wake up. A life for life. A human's life for demon's life.
Because Chao Xiang was in sculpture form and he couldn't wake up himself. So a human body was needed to touch the Chronofang so the human would die and Chao Xiang would wake up. Its the sacrifice of human body.
Xin Ye was tense and she was fighting with her heart. She didn't know it was attraction or what but whatever was happening was feeling very good and she really accepted that Mu Yang had become so much precious for her.
"Okay! For your today I will not touch it.", Mu Yang said.
Xin Ye looked at Mu Yang. She held his hands more tightly.
"Finally you listened to me!", Xin Ye said. She got the relief.
Mu Yang looked at the wall. Other things were also written on it. When Chao Xiang will wake up then evil spirits, skeletons, worms and puppets will come out from the door which was in their right side.
Those skeletons would wake up. These were Chao Xiang's guards. Their bodies were kept here. If any human would arrive there and find Chronofang then they would try to touch it. And then Chao Xiang will wake up and along with him the skeleton will also wake up.
Mu Yang looked at the right side and there was a huge wooden door which had a big lock. Xin Ye took her camera and recorded everything. Then she also captured footages in her phone.
Xin Ye went near the guqin which was still looking new and very clean. She touched it with a stick but nothing happens. Then she touched it with her fingers. Everything was fine right now. She pulled a string and it echoed in the hall.
"Don't play with it. It's spiritual.", Mu Yang said.
"Really!", Xin Ye said surprisingly.
Mu Yang came near the guqin. He sat on the lotus position and closed his eyes. He put both his hands on it and then moved his fingers smoothly on the strings, creating a very melodious music.
"Wow! You know how to play guqin!", Xin Ye said and got very impressed.
"Yes.", Mu Yang replied.
For a moment Mu Yang played the music while closing his eyes. He liked and he felt that he got the relief of many years. Xin Ye felt this soothing music which won her heart. She would never get tired of listening to it. It was melodious.
"Yang! What's next? If we will keep this treasury with ourselves and tell to the people that we found it then they will definitely ask a lot of question that where we found it? If we will tell them the truth then they will definitely come here and... And you know what will happen after that.", Xin Ye said.
Mu Yang opened his eyes. He got up leaving the guqin there.
"Yes. So what to do? I think we should go now and hide this place so the tragedy will not happen. Right!", Mu Yang said.
"Hmm!", Xin Ye replied.
"Then we should return now. Climb on my back.", Mu Yang said.
Xin Ye nodded her head. Mu Yang came near her and bent down. Xin Ye rode on his back and wrapped arms around his neck. Mu Yang held her thighs and then started walking towards the tunnel.
Xin Ye and Mu Yang came out of the tunnel. Xin Ye looked at everything the last time. She had decided that she would not come here again because this place was danger and a very infamous demon could wake up.
