The Dali Temple System of Crossing

Chapter 146 Trap
And just when Cui Ge was puzzled, suddenly, Cui Ge heard a slight cough.

"Who!" Cui Ge looked vigilantly towards the place where the voice came from.The place where the voice came from was a low, dilapidated wall.

There was no response, and no one was seen.

Cui Ge walked vigilantly towards the wall made of loess.

But when he walked to the wall, he didn't see anyone, and there was no movement.

Is there really a ghost?

Cui Ge was puzzled, where did the inexplicable coughing sound come from in broad daylight?
Just when Cui Ge was puzzled, the cough came again.Accompanied by slight footsteps.But this time, Cui Ge discovered that it was coming from the ground, which was a bit boring.

Cui Ge's expression was slightly cold, he observed the surroundings, and stomped his foot slightly, Cui Ge unexpectedly found that the soil layer under his feet was empty.

Seeing this, Cui Ge hurriedly rubbed his feet there, but under the two centimeters of soil, it turned out to be a wooden plank.

"There is indeed someone!"

As Trager said, he suddenly lifted the board!
However, when Trigg opened the board, a hoe suddenly flew out and hit Trigg on the shoulder.But Trigg didn't react at all, and he couldn't feel any pain.

I saw Cui Ge coldly looking at the dark underground, but because the ground was dark and opaque, Cui Ge couldn't see what was going on inside.

But judging from the hoe just thrown out, Trigg was definitely not a ghost.

Immediately, Trager jumped down suddenly, and at the same time turned on the fire pocket to illuminate.

After Cui Ge jumped down, he found that the underground was not that big, just like the size of a cellar where people store grain.

What surprised Cui Ge was that there were actually nine old men hiding in the ground, huddled in a corner, watching Cui Ge vigilantly.

"Who are you and why are you hiding here?" Trigg asked, looking at the nine old men coldly.

One of the old men looked at Trigg and asked: "Ahem, who are you... ahem, who are you?"

As soon as the old man spoke, there was a violent coughing sound.

"I'm from the Yamen. I heard that Jiuwu Village is haunted by ghosts, so I'm here to investigate." Cui Ge said lightly.

When the five old men heard Cui Ge's identity, they looked at each other, and then the old man sighed: "Young man, you'd better run away, more than a dozen officers and soldiers came here two days ago, and they all died here. It's not dark, go down the mountain quickly, it's dark, the ghost is about to come out again, if you smell your breath, you will die."

After Trigg heard what the old man said, he frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean by this? The aura on his body? Are you saying that the ghost uses his aura to find people? He only comes out at night?"

"Yes, that ghost can't see people, and it sucks the soul of one person every night. There are only about 40 people in the whole village, and eight of them died at once. Here we are. We are old and don’t want to leave, you don’t need to worry about us, just get out of here.”

said the old man.

"Old man, since I have come here, I will naturally settle the matter here, and I hope the old man can tell me what is going on." Cui Ge said sincerely.

Are you kidding, afraid of ghosts?Cui Ge is not afraid, although Cui Ge believes that there are ghosts in this world, but Cui Ge is not willing to believe that he has not seen the real thing.

Seeing that Trager did not give up, the old man let out a long sigh.

"This incident started half a month ago. Our Jiuwu Village was originally an unknown small village, but one day half a month ago, a foreigner came to our village and said he was a fortune teller. He came to the village After that, he told us that our Jiuwu Village was about to suffer a great disaster, and we had to smash the mountain god stone statue in the village to resolve it. At first we didn’t believe what he said, but the next morning, our Jiuwu Village suddenly appeared A group of crows were crows in the tree. We believed the fortune teller, so we smashed the stone statue of the mountain god. But after we smashed the stone statue of the mountain god, a bottomless hole appeared under the stone statue. When the stone was dropped, there was no sound. From then on, people started to die in our village, basically one person a day, all of them died mysteriously, and the fortune teller disappeared after we smashed the stone statue."

The old man explained the matter briefly.

After hearing the old man's words, Cui Ge frowned slightly.Then he asked, "Where are the stone statues in your village?"

"It's placed behind the village, surrounded by tombs, and in the middle is the stone statue of the mountain god. You can see it when you go to the back."

"Okay. By the way, old man, does that evil ghost usually come out at night?"

"They don't come out often, but if the evil ghost smells human breath, it will find you. It can't be found unless it hides underground. Young man, you'd better leave as soon as possible." The old man advised earnestly.

But Cui Ge raised a smile and said, "Okay, I'll leave now."

As Cui Ge said, he jumped back to the ground, but Cui Ge did not leave Jiuwu Village, but went directly to the back of Jiuwu Village.When Cui Ge came to Jiuwu Village, he saw that behind Jiuwu Village, within half a mile, there was actually a tomb.However, behind Jiuwu Village, weeds are overgrown, but the vegetation is not high, relatively neat, just reaching the calf.

Seeing this, Trigg walked over slowly.But just when Trigg couldn't walk more than a hundred meters, suddenly Trigg felt the ground beneath his feet soften, and the ground suddenly sunk in. It was wet, sticky, and extremely attractive.

"No, it's a swamp!" Cui Ge was startled, and looked down, only to see his two feet sinking into the swamp slowly.

But Cui Ge didn’t panic, it’s just a swamp, it’s not difficult for Cui Ge, Cui Ge looked at his feet, and thought: “Water control!”

Immediately, a jet of water flew out from under Cui Ge's feet, and the swamp under Cui Ge's feet began to harden, turning into a piece of black and blue soil, and Cui Ge stopped falling.Then Trigg's feet suddenly moved, the soil turned into powder, and Trigg's body moved slightly and fell ten meters behind him.

"It seems that the officers and soldiers sent by Zhang Ru all died in this swamp. There is something wrong with those nine old men!" Cui Ge looked slightly cold.

If I don't have advanced water control skills and fall into this swamp, I'm afraid I will die in it.The weeds here just reach the calf, which is just enough to hide the swamp. If people step into it, they will not feel strange at first, but if they walk four or five steps into the swamp, they will start to sink in, and when they get there By then, it was already far away from the shore, and it was impossible to climb up.
