Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]
Chapter 18
Lin Xu looked at Liu Fei inexplicably, but Liu Fei completely ignored Lin Xu's confusion. He grabbed his hair and looked around anxiously and said, "No, we can't leave now. Damn it! How come we meet a ghost here?" Bing said, now we can only bet on our lives. No wonder they can't see Liu Ye, they must be hiding."
Lin Xu didn't understand everything here. He was most worried about Cuiniang's life and death, and none of the other so-called seven members showed up.
Liu Fei turned around and said, "Lin Xu, there is one thing I don't think I can keep from you anymore. We might all die after that. If you have a chance to get out alive, remember to do as I told you, and write everything down. , you can read and write, you have to write down what we encountered, don’t let us die unclear.”
Lin Xu stared at Liu Fei calmly, Liu Fei withdrew his gaze, and said, "Actually, the reason why the seven of us became like this is all because of the clay tablet in our hands, which is the one that Huzi gave you when he died. Wrap something. This thing is a ghost, and you can’t get rid of it if you take it.”
Lin Xu moved his hand to his pocket unnaturally, and Liu Fei grabbed his hand and said, "Don't touch it! Don't touch this clay tablet again until you have gathered seven people, it will only let that ghost find you. The seven of us actually escaped from the tomb with these seven clay tablets on our backs. The seven clay tablets were originally inlaid on the copper pillars of the abandoned ancient tomb, but Gazi was moved and he picked up one of the clay tablets. board, and then the other six fell to the ground as if by induction, and the most coincidental coincidence was that there were exactly seven of us."
Lin Xu asked: "Then, why do you have to split up and come here to meet up?"
Liu Fei said: "Because the seven of us escaped from the fire circle of the Japanese ghosts together, the target was too big, and it was difficult to escape. In addition, our outfits were also reminded by Hu Zi. He is a tomb robber and knows how to hide himself. The yang energy in the body. Also, we found that when we were extremely afraid of death, the ghost seemed to "see" us, which is very evil.".
Lin Xu struggled to digest Liu Fei's incomprehensible words, and these things could not be explained logically.The only thing that is certain is that all of this has something to do with the seven clay tablets in the tomb.Lin Xu looked at the cold sky outside, and said somewhat weakly: "Then, what is the purpose of you bringing out the clay tablet?".
Liu Fei clenched his fists and said, "This matter has to start from the ancient tomb. We didn't expect that things would get so bad. All of us are so poor that we can't even eat, so we accidentally entered this place." The ancient tomb, but after entering, I found that the ancient tomb was full of strange things. Huzi said, this ancient tomb is the tomb of a noble woman in ancient times. But we have walked for a long time and still haven’t seen anything valuable, and strange things have happened. First, Gazi suddenly said as if he was suffering from hysteria that the number of us was wrong, there were eight of us... ".
Liu Fei's thoughts returned to when he was in the mysterious tomb, and he began to tell Lin Xu the source of all their strange things.But what he said was too confusing, Lin Xu imagined what happened to them at that time in his mind:
◎◎◎
They didn't take Gazi's words seriously at first, but they suddenly found that this kid had disappeared. Everyone knew that this guy was timid, so he must have secretly stayed outside the tomb.
They didn't think much about it, and walked deeper and deeper, and the tomb passage seemed to have no end, except for the place where the torch could shine, everything else was pitch black.Huzi pointed to the nearest mural and said, "Look, this painting is very strange!".
Because the ancient tomb is well preserved, the colors on the murals are still very bright. The murals outline a group of incidents, a person standing on a pile of skeletons, surrounded by naked women, posing in various lewd poses.Then a few people in Taoist robes visited a woman, and then the woman fell to the ground, a puff of smoke came out of her body, and then the woman pointed at the person who was standing on the skeleton.
This mural is very large, covering the entire passage, with a lot of details, surrounded by paintings of birds and beasts, cloud pattern peaks and mountains.Huzi led the crowd to go deeper and deeper, and everyone focused on the murals with strong narrative, but at this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the torches were blown flickeringly, and might be extinguished at any time , and then the bell rang.
Huzi reassured everyone and said: "Don't panic, the soul of the owner of the tomb may still be there. We took her things. Everyone gather the clay tablets in your hands and put them here, then kowtow and return them. I don't think you can get the things here." .”
After finishing speaking, he first followed suit, kowtowed three times respectfully, and everyone followed suit one after another, but they still lacked the piece of Gazi, so they could only put the clay tablet there when they lacked one piece, but the bell did not disappear, but instead getting bigger.At that time, the top of the tomb was full of Japanese soldiers, and they couldn't get out if they wanted to.Among them, Feng Luxi, who was less courageous, was so frightened that he turned his head and wanted to run away, but when he turned his head, he found that the Gazi who had disappeared had somehow appeared behind them again, which made him stagger in fright.
Gazi acted like he didn't see them, but walked forward in a daze, as if attracted by the sound of the bell.Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and when Gazi walked past Huzi in a daze, Mao blind pulled Huzi and said, "Master Hu, Gazi is amazing. I heard the sound of him walking, and there is no life left." The toughness of a person is like a soul. And the ringtone is even more weird, let's retreat to the bright hall first."
Blind Mao is considered to be the most knowledgeable of this group of people. Although he is called blind, he is not blind. He just pretended to be blind in the past to tell fortunes and fortune-telling to others in order to make money.Huzi grabbed Gazi, and Gazi looked at Huzi as if suddenly awakened from a dream. With a pale face, he looked at Huzi pitifully and said, "Master Hu, there is a ghost here! Let's get out of here." .”
Huzi said: "How do you get out? There are Japanese ghosts on the top, and you will die if you go up, but there are our Chinese ghosts below. Where do you want to stay? Choose yourself!"
Gazi lost his voice, and shrank in the corner falteringly.Liu Fei said to Hu Zi: "Master Hu, look at the things on this mural are getting weirder and weirder."
Sure enough, there were very weird paintings on the other side of the passage: the first painting was a group of men in long robes surrounding a woman, who was lying in the middle, but her eyes were open, and the next painting was a woman with her eyes closed, And those men in robes disappeared, leaving only the seven pillars and the clay tablets in them.But there is a very strange picture in the mural, that is, there is a pair of eyes on the top of each copper pillar.
Huzi looked at the mural and said, "No, this tomb may have been set up by alchemists in ancient times. They were good at strange tricks. I have water mixed with cinnabar on my body. This water can ward off evil spirits. You can take it and apply it on your belt. Then press the skirt back, so that the yang energy on the body can be covered."
So everyone dyed their belts red and pressed against their skirts.
Seeing that everyone followed suit, Hu Zi respectfully said to Master Kui Liu: "Master Liu, we can only stay in this tomb for an hour longer, the devil can't stay here forever. You said you would Someone come to meet us?"
Kui Liuye said: "That's right, my goddaughter will come down, and when she comes, it means that the devil has withdrawn."
At this moment, blind man Mao stopped the conversation between the two of them suddenly, and said, "Listen, there seems to be some noise?"
The two stopped talking, and they really heard human-like footsteps from the deep tomb passage, and the footsteps gradually became clearer. Cui Niang hid behind Huzi in fright, while Liu Fei was holding a dart.Everyone was extremely panicked, and no one expected that there would be someone in the depths of the tomb passage.
At this time, Kui Liuye took out his pistol, he was the only one with a gun among the crowd, Hu Zi blocked Kui Liuye's gun and said: "Liu Ye, don't use a gun, lest you accidentally hurt your brother."
Kui Liuye withdrew his gun and said only one sentence: "What should I do."
Huzi said: "Don't be afraid, there are seven of us, and there is only one person who heard the footsteps on the other side. I want to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed thing it is."
Just like that, the sound got closer and closer, but no one appeared, only the sound of the bell and the sound of footsteps rang a few times.Feng Luxi is an opera singer, unable to bear such silence and panic, he wanted to run back anxiously, but was grabbed by Liu Fei by his side, and just as he was about to scream, he felt that Liu Fei's knife had already reached his chest In front of the neck, he swallowed his voice abruptly.
Blind Mao whispered, "Here we come."
Finally, a black figure came into their line of sight, and everyone was horrified when they saw it. This person was none other than Gazi.It's just that this Gazi's face was covered with blood. He clutched his stomach and shuffled towards them, looking extremely painful.
Cuiniang screamed and shouted: "Why are there two scorpions?"
Blind Mao didn't expect it to be like this, he didn't have any martial arts, so he could only rely on Kui Liuye's side, and Liu Fei, who was just about to throw a throwing knife, had no idea.Seeing this, Huzi's face was as white as white wax, while Gazi hiding in the corner shivered in the dark, not daring to make a sound.Gazi at the other end suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground with a copper spear stuck behind him, dying in a miserable state.Seeing this, everyone stepped back one after another.
Another Gazi held his head and said, "He's a ghost, he's a ghost! You don't believe me when I say there are eight people!"
However, at this time, everyone has doubts about this scorpion. After all, it is the dead scorpion that may be true, because how can a ghost die?Killing intent flashed in Huzi's eyes, Gazi saw this, and hurried to them to explain.Kui Liuye shouted at this time: "Don't come here." After speaking, he took out his gun and pointed at the dead man on the ground and said, "How do you explain it?"
Gazi trembled all over, and cried, "I felt something was wrong when I took away the Nawa lump. I felt that there were still people here. Yes, this is a ghost tomb. I don't want to go forward. I don't want to stay in Mingtang anyway." Someone will come, so I chose to stay at the seven pillars. I didn’t want the seven pillars to start making strange noises, accompanied by the cry of a woman. I was afraid that this end was not safe, so I hurried to follow Up to you. However, at this moment, a strange bell sounded suddenly, and I lost my mind. For some reason, I kept repeating a sentence in my mind, "Seven-player game, life and death meeting, blood and bones, eternal death , Lock the soul, the law is chaotic, the ghost is angry, and Jing Chun is resentful. "Master Tiger! I didn't lie to you, I'm really a scorpion! The one on the ground is the ghost!"
Blind Mao stroked his goatee and said, "A game of seven... We happened to be seven... This is too coincidental."
Huzi asked Kui Liuye and said, "Liuye, you are an old Jianghu, what do you think?"
Kui Liu asked, "Are you sure?"
Huzi shook his head and said, "I can't. But..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Kui Liuye fired a gunshot, and he saw the scorpion leaning back and slumped to the ground without moving.Kui Liuye put away his pistol and signaled Huzi with his neck that the matter would be settled.
Mao Xiazi used to be the military adviser of a small warlord in the past, and he was not surprised by this. He seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "No, quickly touch him to see if he has that clay tablet. The seven-man game in that poem should be It refers to the seven clay tablets, we can't throw this thing away, we just count on it to take us out safely."
Hearing this, Liu Fei rushed to the side of the stabbed Gazi, but he couldn't find the clay tablet after groping for a long time. He accidentally found that there was something wrong with this corpse, because a corpse that had just died would not be so stiff, and this The corpse seemed to be made of wood.At this time, Kui Liuye also went to the dead Gazi's body and touched it, not wanting to find the clay tablet in his belt.
Kui Liuye was startled, and hurriedly shouted to Liu Fei: "No! You hit the wrong person, go back!"
It was too late and then too soon, Liu Fei stepped back in the air.However, at this moment, the corpse suddenly disappeared into the dark corridor as if being dragged away by something.
Liu Fei staggered back two steps, and said, "He doesn't have a clay tablet on him..."
Kui Liuye stared at Gazi's body and said, "I'm sorry, brother."
The blind man sighed and said, "Yes, from now on we can only recognize clay tablets, not people. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that we won't be mixed in by ghosts in the tomb, and everyone will be killed by it at that time. If anyone dies, we will Take what's on him, or replace it with someone else, but we'd better keep this number."
Just as the blind man finished speaking, the bell in the depths of the tomb rang again, disturbing everyone's confidence.Huzi looked at the murals around him and said, "It's strange. The murals in this tomb passage don't say anything about the life of the ancient nobles. Why are they some weird alchemists? The strangest thing is that the totem of the phoenix appears here, which shows that the burial It should be an extremely high-ranking woman, it should be a princess, but the size of the tomb passage is surprisingly small, which is too fucking weird."
Kui Liuye looked at the two characters in the mural and said, "What kind of character is this? Damn, there's nothing here that people can understand."
Huzi picked up the torch and took a closer look and said: "This is running script, which is between regular script and cursive script. It is a typeface popular in the Eastern Han and Jin Dynasties. These two characters are the year name, Taishi Year..."
Blind Mao said: "Ah, this is Liu Yu's year name. It turns out that this is a tomb from the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Liu Yu is notoriously weird. No wonder he has a sinister air."
At this time, Cuiniang secretly pulled Huzi by the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother Hu, there seems to be the sound of running water."
Huzi said: "Why is there the sound of water? This place is some distance away from the water source. In terms of Feng Shui, there should be no underground river. How can there be the sound of water?"
Cuiniang wanted to say something else, but Huzi signaled her not to say any more so as not to disturb everyone's minds.Kui Liuye pointed to the mural and said, "Look, why is the last mural depicting two tombs?"
Huzi hurriedly continued to look at the murals, and found that these esoteric murals were really two tombs at the end, one was very similar to the tomb they were in now, and the other was a reflection at the bottom of the water, but there was a connection between the two tombs The road looks like cloud patterns, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that there are some weird symbols.And there is a towering stone wall in the middle, under the stone wall is a giant gossip town, there is a reflection under the tomb similar to the one they are staying in now, and those people with wide robes and big sleeves swim to the bottom of the water.The picture is very vivid, so it is not difficult to understand the meaning.
Cuiniang suddenly held Huzi's hand in extreme fear. Huzi was a little annoyed, but she was her junior sister after all, so she suppressed her resentment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cuiniang pointed to the end and said, "There is really a sound of water! Listen!"
As soon as the words fell, the torrential water that came from nowhere in the depths of the tunnel rushed towards the six Huzi and Gazi's body together.The strange thing is that there are two kinds of water potential, one is from the depths of the tomb passage, and the other is from the bright hall.The two streams of water formed a vortex and swept them all up.At this moment, the dead Gazi suddenly started to move, his movements were very strange, swimming towards the depths of the tomb like a water moose.Among these people is Liu Fei who knows how to swim. He grabbed Gazi's ankle, but he found that Gazi's strength was unbelievably strong. He kicked Liu Fei out even in weightlessness. Fortunately, Huzi blocked it. Liu Fei.Soon the air in everyone's lungs was about to run out, and they were about to suffocate. Liu Fei felt his head was confused, and he let out his last breath, thinking that he was going to die like this.
When he woke up again, he found that he had returned to the bright hall of seven pillars, and those people were still lying beside him.At this time, Huzi and Kui Liuye both woke up, and Gazi's corpse was still lying beside them. The corpse seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and water kept bubbling out. Water kept flowing out, and there was a hole in the forehead shot by Mr. Kui Liu.
Huzi staggered to his feet, and he crawled to Cuiniang's side, only to find that Cuiniang was also slowly waking up.Everyone was in a panic as if they had escaped from death.No one could speak.
Blind Mao lay on the ground and wailed repeatedly, as if he had hit a vital point.And Feng Luxi was so frightened that he lost his mind, and sat on the ground, shaking like a sieve, but he didn't seem to be injured.
Liu Fei was okay, he looked at Gazi's body with his arms covered, for fear that he would jump up again.Huzi said, "It's all my fault for bringing you to this strange place. Alas!"
Kui Liuye said: "It's none of your business. Everyone is running for their lives. If they don't come in, they will die. What are you talking about?"
Everyone fell silent, and blind Mao said: "Master Tiger, when I was living with the warlords, I heard that there was a saying of finding a substitute for a dead ghost, that is, the ghost of a ghost is attached to an object, and whoever gets it must kill it." Fulfilling a dead ghost's wish. Look...could this be the same?"
Sitting on the ground, Huzi said thoughtfully, "It's possible, but what should we do? Could it be the last tomb? The one in the lake?"
Gazi's body didn't know what was going on at this time, and it started to make that kind of dry sound, and black water kept spitting out from his mouth, and the internal organs were spit out like rotten cotton wool.Seeing this, Cui Niang vomited immediately.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a petite figure suddenly jumped from the top of the robbery hole, and his movements were very agile.When Kui Liuye saw it, he gave the girl a wink, and the girl leaned towards them in an instant.
The blind man looked at the girl and said, "We were originally seven people, but Gazi died so strangely. I think it was caused by the clay tablets on his body. If you think about the fairy flying into the tomb in the mural, there were also seven people." , Each of them has a tablet like a clay tablet hanging on their chest. I think the clay tablet is the passport to enter that ancient tomb."
Huzi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it should be that tomb that he wants us to find, but where is that tomb?"
Blind Mao shook his head helplessly. The girl didn't interrupt, but just listened to them quietly.Kui Liuye said to the girl, "Beggar, take out the clay tablet from that corpse."
Beggar looked at the corpse without frowning. He directly put his hand into the corpse's belt, and then pulled out the clay tablet. His hands were covered in blood and minced flesh.
The moment Beggar got the clay tablet, he took several steps back, and Gazi's body began to decompose rapidly.Beggar looked at Master Kui Liu, but Master Kui Liu didn't speak.Huzi said, "Oh. I understand. Maybe someone must inherit his clay tablet to let the previous person die with peace of mind. Now the beggar is one of us... We have to get together the seven people no matter what. Count and find that watery grave."
The beggar just hid the clay tablet silently, and said, "I brought a rope, and everyone will go up at that time. What is the plan of the godfather next?"
Kui Liuye turned to Huzi and said, "Can you tell where the grave is?"
Everyone was stumped by the simple yet tricky question in front of them.After all, Kui Liuye is an old Jianghu, he glanced at everyone one by one, but no one could give useful clues or hints.Then he smiled and said: "Since you have nothing to do, then I think it's better to let go of this matter. Now that the Japanese ghosts are still on the scene, it's too late for us to hide from the guns. How can we find any underwater graves?"
As soon as this remark came out, almost everyone present was shaken, only the blind Mao shook his head and said: "Sixth Lord, what you said is wrong, if there is really some moth's curse in this tomb, then we all may be in trouble, and Gazi's death may be a warning."
Master Kui Liu stared at the skinny old man. After all, Blind Mao had a bit of a reputation in the world, and what he said was indeed reasonable, so Master Kui Liu's intention to escape temporarily was also shaken.
At this time, Feng Luxi, who was originally quiet, suddenly jumped up. Everyone already disliked this person's cowardice and bad deeds. Seeing him startled at this moment, they became even more impatient.Kui Liuye glared at Feng Luxi viciously, and asked him what happened again.
Feng Luxi was so frightened that he pointed to Gazi's corpse on the ground and said, "Move, move!"
Liu Fei shot the dart immediately when he heard the words, but the dart was nailed into the corpse like it was nailed into rotten flesh.Huzi stopped Liu Fei from making further movements, and approached the corpse cautiously, while the corpse was lying motionless on the ground, still gushing black water and pieces of meat.
Such a corpse really can't be seen much, at the moment when everyone couldn't wait to look away, the corpse trembled at an extremely fast speed, but it was not so much trembling as it was a puddle of strange flesh wriggling non-stop .Cuiniang screamed, she couldn't stand the disgusting scene, she vomited on the spot.The pile of flesh spread out as if consciously.Everyone was afraid that the meat would touch themselves, but those pieces of meat seemed to be moving towards the depths of the tomb consciously. Heartbroken.The pile of living flesh was decomposing like this, and disappeared into the depths of the tomb passage, but none of the people present dared to touch it.
If this is the case, there is no need for Mao Xiazi to do any further analysis.If they don't want to become minced meat like Gazi after death, then they have to figure out what's going on.
There is actually something in Gazi's clothes, that thing looks like a piece of white jade, it is estimated that Gazi touched the ghost vessel in the tomb while he was not following them.But the tomb was empty, and they hadn't found any artifacts when they looked one by one before, and now this piece of white jade appeared so conspicuously in Gazi's clothes, did he take it secretly, or did it appear suddenly, or was it in After that weird flood?All of this seemed to be arranged, as if an invisible hand was pushing them, leading them into a more terrifying and weird situation.
Huzi cautiously wanted to take the white jade, but was stopped by Mao Xiazi.Blind Mao bared his teeth and said, "It's strange for Gazi to die, and even more strange for this jade to come. I think this thing is too evil. It's better not to touch it."
Huzi shook his head and said: "No, this is the top-grade white jade, and there is a sense of warmth on it. If it is Yin jade or dead jade, it must be cold in color. In my opinion, this jade is quite Divided into spiritual energy, it seems to be used by a person of high morals."
He took out the piece of white jade from the pile of broken clothes, and found that it was actually a wat board.The blind man saw that the tiger was not unusual, so he dared to take a closer look.He clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "It's not easy for this thing to appear in this tomb. Only princes and generals are qualified to take the white jade tablet. This..."
Huzi pinched the stains on the wat board and found that there were still some characters engraved on the white jade wat board, but because of the age and the fugitive team composed of semi-literate or illiterate people here, many characters could not be read. Understood, the only blind man who could come in handy just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what it was.
Suddenly the blind man stopped shaking his head. He looked at the wat board, his eyes lit up. He held Huzi's arm, pointed to the writing on the wat board and said, "Guo Jingchun! This thing is Guo Pu's wat. board!"
Although Huzi didn't know about emperors and generals, he had to know Guo Pu because he was the author of the famous "Book of Burial".
Blind Mao wondered: "What is the relationship between Guo Pu and this tomb? If this tomb is from the Taishi period, then it is from the Southern Dynasty, and Guo Pu is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty..."
Liu Fei said: "Could it be the burial object of the owner of this tomb? I remember someone said that ancient people especially liked to collect things of literati, and then buried them with themselves."
Blind Mao still shook his head and said, "But it appeared so suddenly, why did it have to be put in Gazi's clothes? The timing of the appearance is also strange. Could it be that the owner of the tomb gave us a hint? Or does this matter have something to do with Guo Pu?"
Cuiniang bravely took a closer look and said, "Look, there are words on it."
There was indeed a line of small characters on the wat board. Although I couldn't read it clearly, I probably understood that this thing belonged to the famous Guo Jingchun, and there was only one poem on it that was understood by the blind man.
I am leaving Fangzhu in chaos, and I will die to leave.
Qianbo resents Qingyang, Lingu Yu bandits rest.
The voice of the deceased is still dark, and the children and grandchildren are forbidden again.
Long makes the road to death far away, and yin and yang are both evil.
The blind man covered the few beards on his chin, and shook his head to explain.
Huzi held the wat board tightly, and said excitedly: "It seems that the only way to know the truth is to visit Guo Pu's tomb. Although my younger brother is not talented, he does know where Guo Pu's tomb is. I am really blessed by the patriarch!"
Blind Mao cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hu, now that the catastrophe has come, why do you say anything else? The top priority is to find that tomb. If I guess right, there must be a way to save life in Guo Pu's tomb. It’s still dark, and the children and grandchildren are forbidden again.” It should be a hint left by Guo Pu to future generations. It seems that this time we can only survive the danger.”
But Hu Zi showed embarrassment on his face. He shook his head and said, "Master Mao doesn't know something. It is said that Guo Pu's tomb is in the Xuanwu Lake, and the strange and ingenious skills in it can be said to be the pinnacle. It can be expected to hold its own. Now..."
Kui Liuye dismissed this and said: "It doesn't matter what his accomplishments are, since this is a business that can go all the way, then there is no choice. Now the question is, how can we safely walk to the grave you mentioned , how should we proceed now.”
Huzi looked at all the people present, sighed and said: "According to the secret method of our sect, whoever enters the tomb is half dead. Yin and Yang have different paths, and you must always remember that you are dead. Wearing a shroud can hide your death." One's own yang energy can also imply that one is dead, and the red belt can preserve the true fire of Samadhi. In addition, there are clay tablets. You brothers come from all over the world, and this clay tablet happens to be seven pieces, which shows that it is an old man. It is destined that we will become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex now, and each of us will carry a piece, and each of us will bear a responsibility; the life of our companion is our own. In addition, I don’t know how much evil this clay tablet has, so I don’t know Don’t dare to carry multiple pieces by yourself, in case the evil spirit accumulates and burns into your own Samadhi True Fire.”
After finishing speaking, he intentionally glanced at Feng Luxi and the girl named Qi'er.Everyone also understood in their hearts that he did this to prevent people from escaping, and the person holding all the clay tablets became an unjust dead ghost.Everyone has a share, and no one should be greedy for life or afraid of death.Drop the idea of companions.This is the covenant of seven people, until death.Huzi wanted to prevent them from having any thoughts of leaving the others and fleeing alone.
Blind Mao nodded again and again, and finally said: "Brother Hu is worthy of being a master of the Northern School. If this is the case, then let's press the skirt of the clothes back first, and then go out."
And Kui Liu, who had been silent all this time, was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but asked the girl next to him for the first time: "Beggar, do you think this is feasible?"
Beggar calmly glanced at everyone present, and said blankly, "No."
Huzi was so shocked by the understatement that he couldn't speak. Almost everyone didn't take this little girl seriously, but they couldn't refute because of the Tai Sui of Kui Liuye.Beggar said while pressing his skirt and said: "We can't go together, otherwise the goal is too big. Now there are so many Japanese people above, and a group of people may be taken over by the Japanese before they have walked fifty miles together. .”
Only then did Xia Mao look at this humble girl again, everyone was thinking about how to avoid the ghosts in this ancient tomb, but forgot that there were so many Japanese ghosts above.If you are not careful, you will eat the ghost's gun before the ghost is bored.If you want to die, you can't die in the hands of Japanese ghosts. This is the bottom line of these people.This kind of thought and courage is indeed worthy of Kui Liuye's high regard, so Huzi agreed: "Miss Beggar is right, I think we are like this, I will take Cui Niang, and Kui Liuye will take Beg'er and Master Mao, as for Liu Fei, please take care of Feng Luxi. We will meet at the foot of Huanggu Mountain. When I was first born, I discovered that Guo Pu’s real body was hidden in an underground city. A Xuanwu Lake. Let’s meet on the ground first, and then you will see my skills, and I will take you brothers to visit Guo Pu’s water tomb.”
Beggar finished straightening his clothes expressionlessly, then waved the gun in his hand and nodded.Huzi taught them a few tricks to ward off evil spirits, and briefly explained the route.Everyone said goodbye to each other and went on their way.
Liu Fei got separated from Feng Luxi when he entered the city of Nanjing, but he also kept an eye out, warning Feng Luxi that if he didn't come to meet him, he would be caught no matter where he was, and if Feng himself died, he had to find someone to bring his things with him before he died. Otherwise, people will let him be a ghost, and it will be ghosts who will make him fly away.This threat made Feng Luxi nod repeatedly in fright.
When Lin Xu heard this, he realized that what they encountered was no longer something like a little ghost possessing a ghost or a female ghost seeking revenge.Along the way, what he sees and hears can be explained by unimaginable, and even involves Guo Pu, a master of Yin-Yang metaphysics in Jin Dynasty.And the meaning of that poem seems to be very profound, and it is not something Mao Xiazi and others can figure out its meaning.For all of this, he has no idea at all, at least for now he still doesn't believe there is such a mystery.
After Liu Fei finished talking about the whole process, he looked at Lin Xu and said, "I have always suspected that some of us who escaped are already not human... One of us is a ghost, the ghost in that tomb. I can't believe them."
Lin Xu said, "You mean to say that when you came out, one of you was already dead, so you used the dead body to revive your soul?"
Liu Fei nodded, and he said, "After being hit by the strange flood, I was in a coma for a long time. I always suspected that Cui Niang was actually not human anymore."
Lin Xu felt a chill for no reason, and the scenes of Cuiniang changing her face immediately flashed in his brain, as well as the weird deserted village and ruined temple she took him through.However, he still didn't want to believe it, and said, "Anyway, we need to find other people first. We only have two clay tablets in our hands."
Liu Fei still wanted to say something, but finally endured it and went back. At this moment, the sound of the millstone turning came from the depths of the ancestral hall.The two turned around in astonishment, and found that it was not the millstone, but the big stone that said "Yin Jun Yu Xi" had moved.
There were actually two people pushing hard on the back of the stone. Because the stone was too heavy, they could only turn it very slowly, and made that ear-piercing friction sound.
Liu Fei drew out the throwing knife and signaled Lin Xu to cover. The two of them had a tacit understanding after looking at each other. They moved towards the boulder, but they walked around the stone and found that Feng Luxi and Kui Liuye were separated behind the stone.These two people had ashen faces, and their faces and expressions were exactly the same as those of the dead village names.The two of them are like puppets, completely unconscious.
Just when Liu Fei was about to call the two of them, a hand suddenly covered his mouth. It was hard for him to imagine that someone could approach behind him silently and attack him.Liu Fei immediately realized that this person's ability might be superior to his. He clenched the throwing knife in his hand, and at the very moment, he heard an extremely soft but calm voice behind him:
"Don't move, don't make a sound."
It was the voice of a beggar.
At the same time, Lin Xu was stopped by Cuiniang...
Lin Xu didn't understand everything here. He was most worried about Cuiniang's life and death, and none of the other so-called seven members showed up.
Liu Fei turned around and said, "Lin Xu, there is one thing I don't think I can keep from you anymore. We might all die after that. If you have a chance to get out alive, remember to do as I told you, and write everything down. , you can read and write, you have to write down what we encountered, don’t let us die unclear.”
Lin Xu stared at Liu Fei calmly, Liu Fei withdrew his gaze, and said, "Actually, the reason why the seven of us became like this is all because of the clay tablet in our hands, which is the one that Huzi gave you when he died. Wrap something. This thing is a ghost, and you can’t get rid of it if you take it.”
Lin Xu moved his hand to his pocket unnaturally, and Liu Fei grabbed his hand and said, "Don't touch it! Don't touch this clay tablet again until you have gathered seven people, it will only let that ghost find you. The seven of us actually escaped from the tomb with these seven clay tablets on our backs. The seven clay tablets were originally inlaid on the copper pillars of the abandoned ancient tomb, but Gazi was moved and he picked up one of the clay tablets. board, and then the other six fell to the ground as if by induction, and the most coincidental coincidence was that there were exactly seven of us."
Lin Xu asked: "Then, why do you have to split up and come here to meet up?"
Liu Fei said: "Because the seven of us escaped from the fire circle of the Japanese ghosts together, the target was too big, and it was difficult to escape. In addition, our outfits were also reminded by Hu Zi. He is a tomb robber and knows how to hide himself. The yang energy in the body. Also, we found that when we were extremely afraid of death, the ghost seemed to "see" us, which is very evil.".
Lin Xu struggled to digest Liu Fei's incomprehensible words, and these things could not be explained logically.The only thing that is certain is that all of this has something to do with the seven clay tablets in the tomb.Lin Xu looked at the cold sky outside, and said somewhat weakly: "Then, what is the purpose of you bringing out the clay tablet?".
Liu Fei clenched his fists and said, "This matter has to start from the ancient tomb. We didn't expect that things would get so bad. All of us are so poor that we can't even eat, so we accidentally entered this place." The ancient tomb, but after entering, I found that the ancient tomb was full of strange things. Huzi said, this ancient tomb is the tomb of a noble woman in ancient times. But we have walked for a long time and still haven’t seen anything valuable, and strange things have happened. First, Gazi suddenly said as if he was suffering from hysteria that the number of us was wrong, there were eight of us... ".
Liu Fei's thoughts returned to when he was in the mysterious tomb, and he began to tell Lin Xu the source of all their strange things.But what he said was too confusing, Lin Xu imagined what happened to them at that time in his mind:
◎◎◎
They didn't take Gazi's words seriously at first, but they suddenly found that this kid had disappeared. Everyone knew that this guy was timid, so he must have secretly stayed outside the tomb.
They didn't think much about it, and walked deeper and deeper, and the tomb passage seemed to have no end, except for the place where the torch could shine, everything else was pitch black.Huzi pointed to the nearest mural and said, "Look, this painting is very strange!".
Because the ancient tomb is well preserved, the colors on the murals are still very bright. The murals outline a group of incidents, a person standing on a pile of skeletons, surrounded by naked women, posing in various lewd poses.Then a few people in Taoist robes visited a woman, and then the woman fell to the ground, a puff of smoke came out of her body, and then the woman pointed at the person who was standing on the skeleton.
This mural is very large, covering the entire passage, with a lot of details, surrounded by paintings of birds and beasts, cloud pattern peaks and mountains.Huzi led the crowd to go deeper and deeper, and everyone focused on the murals with strong narrative, but at this time, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the torches were blown flickeringly, and might be extinguished at any time , and then the bell rang.
Huzi reassured everyone and said: "Don't panic, the soul of the owner of the tomb may still be there. We took her things. Everyone gather the clay tablets in your hands and put them here, then kowtow and return them. I don't think you can get the things here." .”
After finishing speaking, he first followed suit, kowtowed three times respectfully, and everyone followed suit one after another, but they still lacked the piece of Gazi, so they could only put the clay tablet there when they lacked one piece, but the bell did not disappear, but instead getting bigger.At that time, the top of the tomb was full of Japanese soldiers, and they couldn't get out if they wanted to.Among them, Feng Luxi, who was less courageous, was so frightened that he turned his head and wanted to run away, but when he turned his head, he found that the Gazi who had disappeared had somehow appeared behind them again, which made him stagger in fright.
Gazi acted like he didn't see them, but walked forward in a daze, as if attracted by the sound of the bell.Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and when Gazi walked past Huzi in a daze, Mao blind pulled Huzi and said, "Master Hu, Gazi is amazing. I heard the sound of him walking, and there is no life left." The toughness of a person is like a soul. And the ringtone is even more weird, let's retreat to the bright hall first."
Blind Mao is considered to be the most knowledgeable of this group of people. Although he is called blind, he is not blind. He just pretended to be blind in the past to tell fortunes and fortune-telling to others in order to make money.Huzi grabbed Gazi, and Gazi looked at Huzi as if suddenly awakened from a dream. With a pale face, he looked at Huzi pitifully and said, "Master Hu, there is a ghost here! Let's get out of here." .”
Huzi said: "How do you get out? There are Japanese ghosts on the top, and you will die if you go up, but there are our Chinese ghosts below. Where do you want to stay? Choose yourself!"
Gazi lost his voice, and shrank in the corner falteringly.Liu Fei said to Hu Zi: "Master Hu, look at the things on this mural are getting weirder and weirder."
Sure enough, there were very weird paintings on the other side of the passage: the first painting was a group of men in long robes surrounding a woman, who was lying in the middle, but her eyes were open, and the next painting was a woman with her eyes closed, And those men in robes disappeared, leaving only the seven pillars and the clay tablets in them.But there is a very strange picture in the mural, that is, there is a pair of eyes on the top of each copper pillar.
Huzi looked at the mural and said, "No, this tomb may have been set up by alchemists in ancient times. They were good at strange tricks. I have water mixed with cinnabar on my body. This water can ward off evil spirits. You can take it and apply it on your belt. Then press the skirt back, so that the yang energy on the body can be covered."
So everyone dyed their belts red and pressed against their skirts.
Seeing that everyone followed suit, Hu Zi respectfully said to Master Kui Liu: "Master Liu, we can only stay in this tomb for an hour longer, the devil can't stay here forever. You said you would Someone come to meet us?"
Kui Liuye said: "That's right, my goddaughter will come down, and when she comes, it means that the devil has withdrawn."
At this moment, blind man Mao stopped the conversation between the two of them suddenly, and said, "Listen, there seems to be some noise?"
The two stopped talking, and they really heard human-like footsteps from the deep tomb passage, and the footsteps gradually became clearer. Cui Niang hid behind Huzi in fright, while Liu Fei was holding a dart.Everyone was extremely panicked, and no one expected that there would be someone in the depths of the tomb passage.
At this time, Kui Liuye took out his pistol, he was the only one with a gun among the crowd, Hu Zi blocked Kui Liuye's gun and said: "Liu Ye, don't use a gun, lest you accidentally hurt your brother."
Kui Liuye withdrew his gun and said only one sentence: "What should I do."
Huzi said: "Don't be afraid, there are seven of us, and there is only one person who heard the footsteps on the other side. I want to see what kind of three-headed and six-armed thing it is."
Just like that, the sound got closer and closer, but no one appeared, only the sound of the bell and the sound of footsteps rang a few times.Feng Luxi is an opera singer, unable to bear such silence and panic, he wanted to run back anxiously, but was grabbed by Liu Fei by his side, and just as he was about to scream, he felt that Liu Fei's knife had already reached his chest In front of the neck, he swallowed his voice abruptly.
Blind Mao whispered, "Here we come."
Finally, a black figure came into their line of sight, and everyone was horrified when they saw it. This person was none other than Gazi.It's just that this Gazi's face was covered with blood. He clutched his stomach and shuffled towards them, looking extremely painful.
Cuiniang screamed and shouted: "Why are there two scorpions?"
Blind Mao didn't expect it to be like this, he didn't have any martial arts, so he could only rely on Kui Liuye's side, and Liu Fei, who was just about to throw a throwing knife, had no idea.Seeing this, Huzi's face was as white as white wax, while Gazi hiding in the corner shivered in the dark, not daring to make a sound.Gazi at the other end suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground with a copper spear stuck behind him, dying in a miserable state.Seeing this, everyone stepped back one after another.
Another Gazi held his head and said, "He's a ghost, he's a ghost! You don't believe me when I say there are eight people!"
However, at this time, everyone has doubts about this scorpion. After all, it is the dead scorpion that may be true, because how can a ghost die?Killing intent flashed in Huzi's eyes, Gazi saw this, and hurried to them to explain.Kui Liuye shouted at this time: "Don't come here." After speaking, he took out his gun and pointed at the dead man on the ground and said, "How do you explain it?"
Gazi trembled all over, and cried, "I felt something was wrong when I took away the Nawa lump. I felt that there were still people here. Yes, this is a ghost tomb. I don't want to go forward. I don't want to stay in Mingtang anyway." Someone will come, so I chose to stay at the seven pillars. I didn’t want the seven pillars to start making strange noises, accompanied by the cry of a woman. I was afraid that this end was not safe, so I hurried to follow Up to you. However, at this moment, a strange bell sounded suddenly, and I lost my mind. For some reason, I kept repeating a sentence in my mind, "Seven-player game, life and death meeting, blood and bones, eternal death , Lock the soul, the law is chaotic, the ghost is angry, and Jing Chun is resentful. "Master Tiger! I didn't lie to you, I'm really a scorpion! The one on the ground is the ghost!"
Blind Mao stroked his goatee and said, "A game of seven... We happened to be seven... This is too coincidental."
Huzi asked Kui Liuye and said, "Liuye, you are an old Jianghu, what do you think?"
Kui Liu asked, "Are you sure?"
Huzi shook his head and said, "I can't. But..."
He hadn't finished speaking when Kui Liuye fired a gunshot, and he saw the scorpion leaning back and slumped to the ground without moving.Kui Liuye put away his pistol and signaled Huzi with his neck that the matter would be settled.
Mao Xiazi used to be the military adviser of a small warlord in the past, and he was not surprised by this. He seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "No, quickly touch him to see if he has that clay tablet. The seven-man game in that poem should be It refers to the seven clay tablets, we can't throw this thing away, we just count on it to take us out safely."
Hearing this, Liu Fei rushed to the side of the stabbed Gazi, but he couldn't find the clay tablet after groping for a long time. He accidentally found that there was something wrong with this corpse, because a corpse that had just died would not be so stiff, and this The corpse seemed to be made of wood.At this time, Kui Liuye also went to the dead Gazi's body and touched it, not wanting to find the clay tablet in his belt.
Kui Liuye was startled, and hurriedly shouted to Liu Fei: "No! You hit the wrong person, go back!"
It was too late and then too soon, Liu Fei stepped back in the air.However, at this moment, the corpse suddenly disappeared into the dark corridor as if being dragged away by something.
Liu Fei staggered back two steps, and said, "He doesn't have a clay tablet on him..."
Kui Liuye stared at Gazi's body and said, "I'm sorry, brother."
The blind man sighed and said, "Yes, from now on we can only recognize clay tablets, not people. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that we won't be mixed in by ghosts in the tomb, and everyone will be killed by it at that time. If anyone dies, we will Take what's on him, or replace it with someone else, but we'd better keep this number."
Just as the blind man finished speaking, the bell in the depths of the tomb rang again, disturbing everyone's confidence.Huzi looked at the murals around him and said, "It's strange. The murals in this tomb passage don't say anything about the life of the ancient nobles. Why are they some weird alchemists? The strangest thing is that the totem of the phoenix appears here, which shows that the burial It should be an extremely high-ranking woman, it should be a princess, but the size of the tomb passage is surprisingly small, which is too fucking weird."
Kui Liuye looked at the two characters in the mural and said, "What kind of character is this? Damn, there's nothing here that people can understand."
Huzi picked up the torch and took a closer look and said: "This is running script, which is between regular script and cursive script. It is a typeface popular in the Eastern Han and Jin Dynasties. These two characters are the year name, Taishi Year..."
Blind Mao said: "Ah, this is Liu Yu's year name. It turns out that this is a tomb from the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties. Liu Yu is notoriously weird. No wonder he has a sinister air."
At this time, Cuiniang secretly pulled Huzi by the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother Hu, there seems to be the sound of running water."
Huzi said: "Why is there the sound of water? This place is some distance away from the water source. In terms of Feng Shui, there should be no underground river. How can there be the sound of water?"
Cuiniang wanted to say something else, but Huzi signaled her not to say any more so as not to disturb everyone's minds.Kui Liuye pointed to the mural and said, "Look, why is the last mural depicting two tombs?"
Huzi hurriedly continued to look at the murals, and found that these esoteric murals were really two tombs at the end, one was very similar to the tomb they were in now, and the other was a reflection at the bottom of the water, but there was a connection between the two tombs The road looks like cloud patterns, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that there are some weird symbols.And there is a towering stone wall in the middle, under the stone wall is a giant gossip town, there is a reflection under the tomb similar to the one they are staying in now, and those people with wide robes and big sleeves swim to the bottom of the water.The picture is very vivid, so it is not difficult to understand the meaning.
Cuiniang suddenly held Huzi's hand in extreme fear. Huzi was a little annoyed, but she was her junior sister after all, so she suppressed her resentment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cuiniang pointed to the end and said, "There is really a sound of water! Listen!"
As soon as the words fell, the torrential water that came from nowhere in the depths of the tunnel rushed towards the six Huzi and Gazi's body together.The strange thing is that there are two kinds of water potential, one is from the depths of the tomb passage, and the other is from the bright hall.The two streams of water formed a vortex and swept them all up.At this moment, the dead Gazi suddenly started to move, his movements were very strange, swimming towards the depths of the tomb like a water moose.Among these people is Liu Fei who knows how to swim. He grabbed Gazi's ankle, but he found that Gazi's strength was unbelievably strong. He kicked Liu Fei out even in weightlessness. Fortunately, Huzi blocked it. Liu Fei.Soon the air in everyone's lungs was about to run out, and they were about to suffocate. Liu Fei felt his head was confused, and he let out his last breath, thinking that he was going to die like this.
When he woke up again, he found that he had returned to the bright hall of seven pillars, and those people were still lying beside him.At this time, Huzi and Kui Liuye both woke up, and Gazi's corpse was still lying beside them. The corpse seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and water kept bubbling out. Water kept flowing out, and there was a hole in the forehead shot by Mr. Kui Liu.
Huzi staggered to his feet, and he crawled to Cuiniang's side, only to find that Cuiniang was also slowly waking up.Everyone was in a panic as if they had escaped from death.No one could speak.
Blind Mao lay on the ground and wailed repeatedly, as if he had hit a vital point.And Feng Luxi was so frightened that he lost his mind, and sat on the ground, shaking like a sieve, but he didn't seem to be injured.
Liu Fei was okay, he looked at Gazi's body with his arms covered, for fear that he would jump up again.Huzi said, "It's all my fault for bringing you to this strange place. Alas!"
Kui Liuye said: "It's none of your business. Everyone is running for their lives. If they don't come in, they will die. What are you talking about?"
Everyone fell silent, and blind Mao said: "Master Tiger, when I was living with the warlords, I heard that there was a saying of finding a substitute for a dead ghost, that is, the ghost of a ghost is attached to an object, and whoever gets it must kill it." Fulfilling a dead ghost's wish. Look...could this be the same?"
Sitting on the ground, Huzi said thoughtfully, "It's possible, but what should we do? Could it be the last tomb? The one in the lake?"
Gazi's body didn't know what was going on at this time, and it started to make that kind of dry sound, and black water kept spitting out from his mouth, and the internal organs were spit out like rotten cotton wool.Seeing this, Cui Niang vomited immediately.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, a petite figure suddenly jumped from the top of the robbery hole, and his movements were very agile.When Kui Liuye saw it, he gave the girl a wink, and the girl leaned towards them in an instant.
The blind man looked at the girl and said, "We were originally seven people, but Gazi died so strangely. I think it was caused by the clay tablets on his body. If you think about the fairy flying into the tomb in the mural, there were also seven people." , Each of them has a tablet like a clay tablet hanging on their chest. I think the clay tablet is the passport to enter that ancient tomb."
Huzi nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, it should be that tomb that he wants us to find, but where is that tomb?"
Blind Mao shook his head helplessly. The girl didn't interrupt, but just listened to them quietly.Kui Liuye said to the girl, "Beggar, take out the clay tablet from that corpse."
Beggar looked at the corpse without frowning. He directly put his hand into the corpse's belt, and then pulled out the clay tablet. His hands were covered in blood and minced flesh.
The moment Beggar got the clay tablet, he took several steps back, and Gazi's body began to decompose rapidly.Beggar looked at Master Kui Liu, but Master Kui Liu didn't speak.Huzi said, "Oh. I understand. Maybe someone must inherit his clay tablet to let the previous person die with peace of mind. Now the beggar is one of us... We have to get together the seven people no matter what. Count and find that watery grave."
The beggar just hid the clay tablet silently, and said, "I brought a rope, and everyone will go up at that time. What is the plan of the godfather next?"
Kui Liuye turned to Huzi and said, "Can you tell where the grave is?"
Everyone was stumped by the simple yet tricky question in front of them.After all, Kui Liuye is an old Jianghu, he glanced at everyone one by one, but no one could give useful clues or hints.Then he smiled and said: "Since you have nothing to do, then I think it's better to let go of this matter. Now that the Japanese ghosts are still on the scene, it's too late for us to hide from the guns. How can we find any underwater graves?"
As soon as this remark came out, almost everyone present was shaken, only the blind Mao shook his head and said: "Sixth Lord, what you said is wrong, if there is really some moth's curse in this tomb, then we all may be in trouble, and Gazi's death may be a warning."
Master Kui Liu stared at the skinny old man. After all, Blind Mao had a bit of a reputation in the world, and what he said was indeed reasonable, so Master Kui Liu's intention to escape temporarily was also shaken.
At this time, Feng Luxi, who was originally quiet, suddenly jumped up. Everyone already disliked this person's cowardice and bad deeds. Seeing him startled at this moment, they became even more impatient.Kui Liuye glared at Feng Luxi viciously, and asked him what happened again.
Feng Luxi was so frightened that he pointed to Gazi's corpse on the ground and said, "Move, move!"
Liu Fei shot the dart immediately when he heard the words, but the dart was nailed into the corpse like it was nailed into rotten flesh.Huzi stopped Liu Fei from making further movements, and approached the corpse cautiously, while the corpse was lying motionless on the ground, still gushing black water and pieces of meat.
Such a corpse really can't be seen much, at the moment when everyone couldn't wait to look away, the corpse trembled at an extremely fast speed, but it was not so much trembling as it was a puddle of strange flesh wriggling non-stop .Cuiniang screamed, she couldn't stand the disgusting scene, she vomited on the spot.The pile of flesh spread out as if consciously.Everyone was afraid that the meat would touch themselves, but those pieces of meat seemed to be moving towards the depths of the tomb consciously. Heartbroken.The pile of living flesh was decomposing like this, and disappeared into the depths of the tomb passage, but none of the people present dared to touch it.
If this is the case, there is no need for Mao Xiazi to do any further analysis.If they don't want to become minced meat like Gazi after death, then they have to figure out what's going on.
There is actually something in Gazi's clothes, that thing looks like a piece of white jade, it is estimated that Gazi touched the ghost vessel in the tomb while he was not following them.But the tomb was empty, and they hadn't found any artifacts when they looked one by one before, and now this piece of white jade appeared so conspicuously in Gazi's clothes, did he take it secretly, or did it appear suddenly, or was it in After that weird flood?All of this seemed to be arranged, as if an invisible hand was pushing them, leading them into a more terrifying and weird situation.
Huzi cautiously wanted to take the white jade, but was stopped by Mao Xiazi.Blind Mao bared his teeth and said, "It's strange for Gazi to die, and even more strange for this jade to come. I think this thing is too evil. It's better not to touch it."
Huzi shook his head and said: "No, this is the top-grade white jade, and there is a sense of warmth on it. If it is Yin jade or dead jade, it must be cold in color. In my opinion, this jade is quite Divided into spiritual energy, it seems to be used by a person of high morals."
He took out the piece of white jade from the pile of broken clothes, and found that it was actually a wat board.The blind man saw that the tiger was not unusual, so he dared to take a closer look.He clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "It's not easy for this thing to appear in this tomb. Only princes and generals are qualified to take the white jade tablet. This..."
Huzi pinched the stains on the wat board and found that there were still some characters engraved on the white jade wat board, but because of the age and the fugitive team composed of semi-literate or illiterate people here, many characters could not be read. Understood, the only blind man who could come in handy just shook his head, expressing that he didn't know what it was.
Suddenly the blind man stopped shaking his head. He looked at the wat board, his eyes lit up. He held Huzi's arm, pointed to the writing on the wat board and said, "Guo Jingchun! This thing is Guo Pu's wat. board!"
Although Huzi didn't know about emperors and generals, he had to know Guo Pu because he was the author of the famous "Book of Burial".
Blind Mao wondered: "What is the relationship between Guo Pu and this tomb? If this tomb is from the Taishi period, then it is from the Southern Dynasty, and Guo Pu is from the Eastern Jin Dynasty..."
Liu Fei said: "Could it be the burial object of the owner of this tomb? I remember someone said that ancient people especially liked to collect things of literati, and then buried them with themselves."
Blind Mao still shook his head and said, "But it appeared so suddenly, why did it have to be put in Gazi's clothes? The timing of the appearance is also strange. Could it be that the owner of the tomb gave us a hint? Or does this matter have something to do with Guo Pu?"
Cuiniang bravely took a closer look and said, "Look, there are words on it."
There was indeed a line of small characters on the wat board. Although I couldn't read it clearly, I probably understood that this thing belonged to the famous Guo Jingchun, and there was only one poem on it that was understood by the blind man.
I am leaving Fangzhu in chaos, and I will die to leave.
Qianbo resents Qingyang, Lingu Yu bandits rest.
The voice of the deceased is still dark, and the children and grandchildren are forbidden again.
Long makes the road to death far away, and yin and yang are both evil.
The blind man covered the few beards on his chin, and shook his head to explain.
Huzi held the wat board tightly, and said excitedly: "It seems that the only way to know the truth is to visit Guo Pu's tomb. Although my younger brother is not talented, he does know where Guo Pu's tomb is. I am really blessed by the patriarch!"
Blind Mao cupped his hands and said, "Brother Hu, now that the catastrophe has come, why do you say anything else? The top priority is to find that tomb. If I guess right, there must be a way to save life in Guo Pu's tomb. It’s still dark, and the children and grandchildren are forbidden again.” It should be a hint left by Guo Pu to future generations. It seems that this time we can only survive the danger.”
But Hu Zi showed embarrassment on his face. He shook his head and said, "Master Mao doesn't know something. It is said that Guo Pu's tomb is in the Xuanwu Lake, and the strange and ingenious skills in it can be said to be the pinnacle. It can be expected to hold its own. Now..."
Kui Liuye dismissed this and said: "It doesn't matter what his accomplishments are, since this is a business that can go all the way, then there is no choice. Now the question is, how can we safely walk to the grave you mentioned , how should we proceed now.”
Huzi looked at all the people present, sighed and said: "According to the secret method of our sect, whoever enters the tomb is half dead. Yin and Yang have different paths, and you must always remember that you are dead. Wearing a shroud can hide your death." One's own yang energy can also imply that one is dead, and the red belt can preserve the true fire of Samadhi. In addition, there are clay tablets. You brothers come from all over the world, and this clay tablet happens to be seven pieces, which shows that it is an old man. It is destined that we will become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex now, and each of us will carry a piece, and each of us will bear a responsibility; the life of our companion is our own. In addition, I don’t know how much evil this clay tablet has, so I don’t know Don’t dare to carry multiple pieces by yourself, in case the evil spirit accumulates and burns into your own Samadhi True Fire.”
After finishing speaking, he intentionally glanced at Feng Luxi and the girl named Qi'er.Everyone also understood in their hearts that he did this to prevent people from escaping, and the person holding all the clay tablets became an unjust dead ghost.Everyone has a share, and no one should be greedy for life or afraid of death.Drop the idea of companions.This is the covenant of seven people, until death.Huzi wanted to prevent them from having any thoughts of leaving the others and fleeing alone.
Blind Mao nodded again and again, and finally said: "Brother Hu is worthy of being a master of the Northern School. If this is the case, then let's press the skirt of the clothes back first, and then go out."
And Kui Liu, who had been silent all this time, was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but asked the girl next to him for the first time: "Beggar, do you think this is feasible?"
Beggar calmly glanced at everyone present, and said blankly, "No."
Huzi was so shocked by the understatement that he couldn't speak. Almost everyone didn't take this little girl seriously, but they couldn't refute because of the Tai Sui of Kui Liuye.Beggar said while pressing his skirt and said: "We can't go together, otherwise the goal is too big. Now there are so many Japanese people above, and a group of people may be taken over by the Japanese before they have walked fifty miles together. .”
Only then did Xia Mao look at this humble girl again, everyone was thinking about how to avoid the ghosts in this ancient tomb, but forgot that there were so many Japanese ghosts above.If you are not careful, you will eat the ghost's gun before the ghost is bored.If you want to die, you can't die in the hands of Japanese ghosts. This is the bottom line of these people.This kind of thought and courage is indeed worthy of Kui Liuye's high regard, so Huzi agreed: "Miss Beggar is right, I think we are like this, I will take Cui Niang, and Kui Liuye will take Beg'er and Master Mao, as for Liu Fei, please take care of Feng Luxi. We will meet at the foot of Huanggu Mountain. When I was first born, I discovered that Guo Pu’s real body was hidden in an underground city. A Xuanwu Lake. Let’s meet on the ground first, and then you will see my skills, and I will take you brothers to visit Guo Pu’s water tomb.”
Beggar finished straightening his clothes expressionlessly, then waved the gun in his hand and nodded.Huzi taught them a few tricks to ward off evil spirits, and briefly explained the route.Everyone said goodbye to each other and went on their way.
Liu Fei got separated from Feng Luxi when he entered the city of Nanjing, but he also kept an eye out, warning Feng Luxi that if he didn't come to meet him, he would be caught no matter where he was, and if Feng himself died, he had to find someone to bring his things with him before he died. Otherwise, people will let him be a ghost, and it will be ghosts who will make him fly away.This threat made Feng Luxi nod repeatedly in fright.
When Lin Xu heard this, he realized that what they encountered was no longer something like a little ghost possessing a ghost or a female ghost seeking revenge.Along the way, what he sees and hears can be explained by unimaginable, and even involves Guo Pu, a master of Yin-Yang metaphysics in Jin Dynasty.And the meaning of that poem seems to be very profound, and it is not something Mao Xiazi and others can figure out its meaning.For all of this, he has no idea at all, at least for now he still doesn't believe there is such a mystery.
After Liu Fei finished talking about the whole process, he looked at Lin Xu and said, "I have always suspected that some of us who escaped are already not human... One of us is a ghost, the ghost in that tomb. I can't believe them."
Lin Xu said, "You mean to say that when you came out, one of you was already dead, so you used the dead body to revive your soul?"
Liu Fei nodded, and he said, "After being hit by the strange flood, I was in a coma for a long time. I always suspected that Cui Niang was actually not human anymore."
Lin Xu felt a chill for no reason, and the scenes of Cuiniang changing her face immediately flashed in his brain, as well as the weird deserted village and ruined temple she took him through.However, he still didn't want to believe it, and said, "Anyway, we need to find other people first. We only have two clay tablets in our hands."
Liu Fei still wanted to say something, but finally endured it and went back. At this moment, the sound of the millstone turning came from the depths of the ancestral hall.The two turned around in astonishment, and found that it was not the millstone, but the big stone that said "Yin Jun Yu Xi" had moved.
There were actually two people pushing hard on the back of the stone. Because the stone was too heavy, they could only turn it very slowly, and made that ear-piercing friction sound.
Liu Fei drew out the throwing knife and signaled Lin Xu to cover. The two of them had a tacit understanding after looking at each other. They moved towards the boulder, but they walked around the stone and found that Feng Luxi and Kui Liuye were separated behind the stone.These two people had ashen faces, and their faces and expressions were exactly the same as those of the dead village names.The two of them are like puppets, completely unconscious.
Just when Liu Fei was about to call the two of them, a hand suddenly covered his mouth. It was hard for him to imagine that someone could approach behind him silently and attack him.Liu Fei immediately realized that this person's ability might be superior to his. He clenched the throwing knife in his hand, and at the very moment, he heard an extremely soft but calm voice behind him:
"Don't move, don't make a sound."
It was the voice of a beggar.
At the same time, Lin Xu was stopped by Cuiniang...
