Chapter 38 Red and White Deserted Village 20
——The talisman blocks the yellow gate, and the people surnamed Wang are burned; the lamps at the four corners are not extinguished, and the dark night breaks the dark marriage.

Recalling the clue poem I got before, the first sentence has been completed, and now the door is blocked by the talisman paper, the ghosts outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out.

As for the remaining three sentences, the current priority is to find Boss Wang.

Wen Zhuo took out the matchbox she found in the temple from her bosom, she thought for a moment, then spoke calmly.

"I think we can try lighting the lamp first."

Then seeing that other people had no objections, she followed her own ideas.

The burning time of prop matches is longer than that of ordinary matches. When the oil lamps on the table in the four corners of the room are all lit, the cluster of flames is still swaying at her fingertips and has not been extinguished.

She was about to lower her head to blow it out, when Xiang Zhifeng pointed to the front and said in a panic: "Damn it, what is that?!"

The four of them looked at the same time, and saw the talisman paper pasted on the door flashed a bright light at some point, and then the environment in front of them gradually changed from blurred to clear, and there was a different scene in their sight.

They saw a wasteland deep in the woods. In the center of the wasteland was a small pond with a square shape. The water in the pond was very dirty, and they didn't know when it was built there.

In the dark moonlight, just above the dirty pool water, gathered countless female ghosts wearing bright red wedding dresses, with blood and tears streaming down their pale faces, and singing chilling tunes from their mouths. Terrible.

They were holding a rope in their hands, and a man was hanging under the rope. The man was wearing a long gown and a melon skin hat, and he was struggling with all four limbs.

It's Boss Wang who is still alive.

It turned out that this scene was repeating what happened the night Boss Wang was retaliated against.

Wen Zhuo's face darkened, she realized that this scene could not appear out of thin air, there must be a hint, so she began to watch carefully.

Those female ghosts tied Boss Wang's hands and feet with ropes, hung his upper body upside down into the pool, and dragged him away in turn, as if he was cooking some hot pot.

At this time, Ye Lingchuan reminded in a low voice: "Pay attention to the direction and order of their dragging."

"Well, that's right."

Both of them could see that there were traces of how the female ghosts tortured Boss Wang, for example, they only dragged in vertical or horizontal directions, like a prescribed route, forming an obvious 90-degree right angle.

They watched carefully like this until the picture gradually faded away and turned into the door with the talisman paper on it and the cold room with dim light.

Ye Lingchuan asked Wen Zhuo: "Do you remember?"

"remember."

Xiang Zhifeng was at a loss: "What do you guys remember?"

Zhao Qianxue also understood, she glanced at him contemptuously, obviously dismissing his IQ: "That pond corresponds to the water tank in the house."

There are a total of nine water tanks in the back room, and the arrangement of the square and nine grids, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to think of it, and it is consistent with the shape of the pond just now.

The pond is not divided into nine squares, but players can analyze it through imagination.

Those female ghosts hung Boss Wang, and dragged from the center of the pond, that is, the fifth water tank from left to right in Jiugongge. The three tanks and the first tank have stayed, as long as they stay, they will sink Boss Wang into the water once.

Ye Lingchuan lifted the bamboo curtain, and looked at the water tank in the back room with Wen Zhuo.

He told her: "It should be for us to smash these water tanks in order."

"With a sword?"

"At present, it seems that only the sword can be used."

Zhao Qianxue said, "We can't all enter the house, and someone has to keep an eye on the four lights outside."

The poem requires that "the lamps at the four corners are not extinguished", so at least one person must hold a match in the outer room, and immediately go to relight any lamp that goes out.

Before Wen Zhuo had time to speak, Ye Lingchuan had already made a decision.

His voice was neither fast nor slow, but somehow had a convincing power.

"Four tables, there must be at least two people waiting outside, after all, girls are more meticulous and quick--Wen Zhuo, you and Ms. Zhao get the matches and make sure the lights are always on; Mr. Xiang, you carry the corpse oil and go in with me , can you?"

It could be seen that Xiang Zhifeng was very hesitant, but he didn't dare to ask Wen Zhuo's opinion publicly, so he could only secretly look at her with his eyes.

"Must I go in?"

"Don't worry, you are only responsible for carrying the corpse oil, and leave the rest to me." Ye Lingchuan sighed, and followed the temptation, "There is a curtain between the inside and the outside, if even I can't protect you, what do you think? Safety?"

"..."

"Mr. Xiang, don't forget that at the end of this game, points are awarded based on the overall performance of the players. If you keep paddling and lying down to win, you won't get too many points."

"..."

Xiang Zhifeng was somehow persuaded, and he found that it seemed to be the case, after all, the task must be completed, and it would be useless to stay in the outhouse by himself.

What's more, the system has a rule that if you accumulate 50000 points, it can be used to offset the negative impact of a game failure.

Everyone knows how difficult it is to accumulate these points. In order to offset the negative impact in the future, when he can win, he should try his best to show it.

"Who wins by paddling and laying down? I don't need your protection." He leaned over and picked up the corpse oil, but still said something, "As soon as there is something inside, I will notify you two."

On the surface it said "you two", but in fact it was just for Wen Zhuo.

"Okay." Wen Zhuo responded, and she took out a matchbox from the matchbox and handed it to Ye Lingchuan, "I guess the arson is in the back room. If you can ignite the corpse oil, you two remember to come out quickly."

Ye Lingchuan smiled: "No problem."

Without giving Xiang Zhifeng any chance to react or hesitate, he immediately tugged on the opponent's sleeve, held the sword backhand and opened the bamboo curtain, and strode towards the inner room.

As the final mission was approaching, there was not much time left for him. He had to hurry up and try to kill Xiang Zhifeng before clearing the customs to complete this order.

Naturally, to achieve the goal, Xiang Zhifeng and Wen Zhuo must be separated first.

He didn't know why the presence of Wen Zhuo made him uneasy, he hadn't had this strange emotion before, but it just happened at this moment.

She stood there, clearly the same as before, but for the first time he felt threatened.

Although this threat cannot be traced back.

……

……

When the crisp sound of the water tank shattering came from the back room, Wen Zhuo knew that Ye Lingchuan had already started to implement the plan.

1、2、3、4、5.
She counted silently. After five crisp sounds, there was about ten seconds of silence in between. Ye Lingchuan seemed to be waiting for something.

An ominous warning sign emerged spontaneously, and she couldn't easily leave the table, so she raised her voice and asked.

"Brother Chuan, Fengfeng, is everything going well?"

In the next second, what answered her was the loud noise of the corpse oil jar being smashed, and Xiang Zhifeng's terrified screams.

At the same time, the lights at the four corners went out.
