Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]

Chapter 21 Map of Hibiscus

It was already late at night when they found the hotel, and there were more and more things in front of them, but now their time was running out.If they can't find the right way forward, then they are likely to waste the clues left by Chen Rulan and Professor Ma with their lives.No one wanted to eat dinner, and Guo Mei's situation made it impossible to have an appetite.

In short, everyone's mood once again fell to the bottom.

Chen Hao wanted to open "Ring of Seven", but Ye Wei, who had been silent all the time, stopped him this time.He said: "Tell us the correct location of Guo Pu's tomb first, maybe we can find a way to rescue it before reading this book."

Chen Hao said: "I can't tell you now, I have to wait until tomorrow."

Ye Wei said, "Are you procrastinating?"

Chen Hao didn't answer, he looked at Zhou Jue and the others and said, "Now we have enough clues, but we haven't been able to sort out the whole context, for example, this wat board, maybe Ru Lan didn't get it. "

Fat San said: "That is to say, like playing a game, we got the auxiliary BUFF (the system enhances the game's professional attributes), so our attributes are more advanced than Chen Rulan's?"

Chen Hao nodded and said: "It can be said so, but it is not absolute. The more things you get, the better. Just like this book, without this book, none of us would be involved. So, I don't know what stage of the whole puzzle we're at right now, it's just a blind man's image."

The thin monkey said: "Brother Chen, my analytical ability is not as strong as yours, but I have always had a doubt."

Chen Hao asked: "What doubts?"

The thin monkey looked at Zhou Jue, and Zhou Jue signaled him to speak straight. He bit his lip and thought for a while, then said, "I always feel that something is broken between the appearance of the book "Ring of Seven" and the chain of Guo Pu's tomb. ..."

Seeing that everyone did not understand what he said, the thin monkey was afraid that he would not be able to express himself clearly, so he took a breath and continued: "Don't you find it strange? If Guo Mei is possessed, the monster in her body really wants to get behind us. However, he doesn’t seem to know the existence of the ring of seven. According to common sense, he might as well continue to follow us, anyway, the ring of seven must continue. His approach seems to be too stupid, so he just wiped it out. People's feeling is that he doesn't know that there is a ring of seven people. I don't know if you understand?..."

Chen Hao nodded and continued to explain: "I understand. What you mean is that he only knows about the secret art of the Zhezu clan, but he doesn't know about the ring of seven people. A master of secret arts. Therefore, that monster probably just felt the powerful power, but didn't know what the essence of the seven-person ring is. I can't explain this problem clearly now. But one thing is certain, in this Before this book, the theory of the ring of seven did not exist, and everything started after the group of refugees entered the Princess Tomb."

The thin monkey leaned against the chair as if discouraged, and Zhou Jue patted him on the back to express that he should not be impatient.Chen Hao said: "Although I don't know how to explain it, Shouhou is right. The answer we need will be found in Guo Pu's tomb, but the beginning of all the serial events must be in the princess tomb, because it is said at the beginning of the story, This is a journey about redemption, and Princess Tomb is the beginning, and Guo Pu's Tomb may be the end."

The thin monkey asked, "Why?"

Chen Hao said: "Feeling."

Zhou Jue felt a little confused, he stroked his forehead and said, "Wait, you mean, Huzi and the others broke into the Princess Tomb, so they were cursed, and the way to lift the curse is in Guo Pu's Tomb?"

Chen Hao said: "Yes, it is this logical relationship."

Zhou Jue continued following Chen Hao's intentions: "In other words, before Chen Rulan entered the Princess Tomb, she always thought that the Princess Tomb was the key, but she finally came to the conclusion that the release method was in another tomb, which was Guo Pu's tomb. , and she died in the Princess Tomb before she appeared, so she pointed all the blame at Guo Pu's tomb."

Chen Hao nodded his head, and stopped when he was about to take out the cigarette. He suddenly looked up at Zhou Jue, and said excitedly, "Say it again."

Zhou Jue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "So she pointed all the blame at Guo Pu's tomb!"

Chen Hao patted his legs and stood up, saying, "Wrong!"

Zhou Jue asked depressedly: "Where did you say something wrong?"

Chen Hao said: "It's not that you're wrong, you're right. That's right, Rulan wanted to point all the blame at Guo Pu's tomb, but she didn't tell us another very important thing, that is, the Princess Tomb Wrong! She never said it was wrong. We almost missed this place, and Rulan also made a mistake at this juncture."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent and looked at him blankly.He said: "Princess Tomb is also one of the directions to explain the curse! Rulan is not wrong."

Zhou Jue frowned and said, "Chen Rulan did give us a lot of clues, but he didn't say that Princess Tomb is wrong. Could it be that both tombs are fine? Let us choose?"

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "No, if it's all possible, Rulan won't fail. What she means is that both tombs are necessary. You think, if you only enter Guo Pu's tomb, then Cuiniang and the others should succeed. After all, there are Experts like Liu Fei and Qier were there, but they failed. The second batch of Rulan and the others entered the Princess Tomb, but they also failed. So the final reminder from Rulan is: You must enter both tombs at the same time!"

Ye Wei, who had been drinking tea by the side at this time, said, "The tomb of twin yin and yang is interesting. You must enter the two tombs at the same time to get close to the truth."

The thin monkey asked, "What is the tomb of Yin and Yang twins?"

Ye Wei liked to answer questions about the thin monkey very much. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember the deserted village that Cuiniang mentioned in the book?"

The thin monkey nodded earnestly, and Ye Wei pointed to the thermos on the opposite side of the table. The thin monkey made tea for him honestly while listening, and said, "Then what?"

Ye Wei blew away the tea leaves and said: "This method can play a circular role, so that the hostility in that village will not dissipate. Everyone knows that the ghosts rely on the resentment before death. If the resentment dissipates, the ghosts will naturally return. disappear, and the way to keep the soul immortal is to keep them full of resentment forever. This method is a kind of keeping resentment, which is actually evolved from the art of yin and yang in Laoshan Taoism. Yin and yang are actually two driving forces, Yang Qi has a strong impact, but it has no purpose, so it will disappear soon. Yin Qi is different, although it is weak, it has a very strong staying power and has a certain guiding effect. Therefore, use Yin Qi to Guiding the function of Yang Qi, and then enriching the power of Yin Qi by Yang Qi, these two forces complement each other, so that a kind of aura that needs to be preserved will never dissipate. This is the power of interaction between Yin and Yang. That deserted village was manipulated, The two forces of yin and yang in the human corpse are utilized, and then the resentment of the corpse can be preserved."

Zhou Jue then asked: "What is the purpose of the barren village? Who did it?" Ye Wei turned to look at Zhou Jue and smiled, "If this kind of hostility is not for dealing with people, then it is for dealing with ghosts. Resentment can be Stimulate the aura in the body of the dead and bring the corpse back to life."

The more Zhou Jue listened, the more confused he became, he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Wei sighed, then took a sip of tea and said, "Do you still remember Cuiniang's face changing twice in the book? The first time was in that deserted village."

Hearing this, Zhou Jue couldn't help but gasped, as if realizing a key point that he had overlooked, he asked: "Then...who is the person who is setting up the formation?"

Ye Wei shook his head and said: "I don't know, but this person's ability may be higher than that of Chen Hao and me, and even the two of us combined are not as powerful as him."

The thin monkey has a stubborn temper, so he still clung to the original question and asked: "So, what is the meaning of the tomb of yin and yang twins?"

Ye Wei said: "These two tombs are common. They represent one yin and one yang, and they transform their respective earth qi. Then the two tombs co-exist and can guarantee the peace of the tomb owner to the greatest extent. During the Western Han Dynasty, such tombs were a means of attaining Taoism and flying immortals, and most of them came from alchemists who practiced together."

Zhou Jue said, "But the ages of those two tombs are different."

Ye Wei was a little impatient, and frowned slightly: "There is no need to build it at the same time, it can be done as long as it is modified. Moreover, the earth energy in Guo Pu's tomb must be strong enough to drive the operation of the earth energy in the princess grave and the formation in the tomb. It can be said that Princess Tomb may use Guo Pu's power to maintain its own tomb array. This is a hooligan behavior..."

Zhou Jue felt a headache, he pinched the bridge of his nose.Ye Wei didn't get the expected reaction, and felt a little depressed, so he put down his teacup and went to feed the cat.The black cat blinked at them and opened its mouth to let out a cry, but no one paid any attention to this black cat that would shrink back when encountering ghosts. Obviously, its status is not as high as it used to be.

The rest of the people either sat in a daze, or stamped their feet back and forth.

Fat San couldn't hold back and said: "Brother Chen, please give me an explanation, what should we do now?"

Chen Hao looked at the book without looking up.He said: "Don't be in a hurry now, only when you calm down will you have a chance."

Zhou Jue asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Chen Hao looked up at him, because of excessive fatigue, his eyes were almost covered with bloodshot eyes, and his originally handsome face looked a little haggard, he said: "Overlap."

After saying these two words, he continued to look down at the materials, as if he had fallen into a state of stillness in the materials, as if no one could enter his world.

Zhou Jue immediately fell on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. After a long time, he heard Chen Hao whisper, "Feng Laojiu, you can tell me, have you found any lakes or pools near the Princess Tomb?"

Feng Laojiu lowered his head and thought for a while, "It seems that there is no... By the way, although there is no lake, the names of many villages around that are related to water, such as Beihu Village, Linchi Town, etc., I guess there used to be a lake near it in ancient times. There is river water."

Chen Hao nodded, and said softly: "It seems to be true."

He leaned on the bed board and said, "Ye Wei is right. In fact, they are two tombs where yin and yang co-exist. We must enter at the same time, otherwise we will not be able to enter the real tomb like Feng Laojiu."

Fat San clapped his hands and said, "What about the map? Didn't you say that you know the location?"

Chen Hao didn't answer, but closed his eyes.Fat San panted heavily, winked at the thin monkey desperately, and cursed in a low voice: "What the hell!"

The thin monkey couldn't sit still, and said: "In this case, Fat San and I will go to bed first, and we will talk about it tomorrow. Old Jiu, you..."

Feng Laojiu looked at the thin monkey and said, "I know, I share the room with Ye Wei."

The two were relieved, nodded and left.Feng Laojiu glanced at Chen Hao, he was not as aggrieved as Fat San and the other two, but surprisingly calm, he patted Zhou Jue on the shoulder and left.

Only Zhou Jue and Chen Hao were left in the room.In order not to disturb Chen Hao's thinking as much as possible, Zhou Jue turned around and fell asleep.Half asleep and half awake, he seemed to hear Chen Hao's voice.Zhou Jue opened his eyes suddenly, and followed out cautiously, but Chen Hao could no longer be found in the corridor of the small hotel.

Chen Hao's footsteps could be vaguely heard in the passageway with insufficient lighting, but he could not be found no matter what.Just when Zhou Jue was about to go back with doubts in his heart, he suddenly found that Ye Wei appeared behind him at some point, and he didn't know whether to look at him or the corridor with those dull eyes.Ye Wei stood behind him so silently that Zhou Jue almost bit his tongue in fright.He scolded: "Damn, what are you doing?"

Ye Wei shook his head and said, "I have something to tell you."

Zhou Jue is more wary of this person than Feng Laojiu, and always feels that there is a dead air in him.He asked vigilantly, "What's the matter? Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

Ye Wei said, "It's about Chen Rulan."

Zhou Jue paused, pointed to the corner with his chin and said, "Go there and talk."

Ye Wei walked to the side sideways, his body could hardly be seen in the dark corner, only his pale face was visible, his black eyes stared at Zhou Jue like two big holes.

Zhou Jue was so stared at by him, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Wei said: "Let me put it bluntly, Chen Rulan is not that simple. She has collected almost all the clues back then, and she must have seen the content about Guo Pu in the novel. But she still entered the Princess Grave, but now she deliberately Put all the clues in Guo Pu's tomb, don't you think it's very contradictory?"

Zhou Jue said, "What do you mean?"

Ye Wei said: "We all thought that Chen Rulan failed and died. What if she succeeds?"

Zhou Jue got hairy from the question, did Chen Rulan succeed?What does it mean?He asked repeatedly: "She succeeded?"

Ye Wei nodded and said: "I said it might be possible. You have also seen Guo Mei's condition. She is only possessed by stinging insects, and she already has such abilities. If Chen Rulan gets the last secret, then she is likely to It's not her anymore, so how credible are the clues she provided?"

Zhou Jue was so helpless by his question, he began to lower his head to think, and said to himself: "Why did that book appear in the library...why did you find me, and that long-haired woman..."

He looked up at Ye Wei, Ye Wei's eyes were still empty and deep, but Zhou Jue felt that he was also looking at him, and he said, "You mean, Chen Rulan is the mastermind?"

Ye Wei said: "It's possible, she may have worked hard to decipher "Ring of Seven" after she got it, but then she was probably possessed, just like Guo Mei."

Zhou Jue covered his head and said, "Wait, what do you mean, our current clues are unreliable?"

Ye Wei shook his head and said, "I just think that you must keep some bargaining chips, and you can't rely on Chen Hao for everything. Chen Hao is Chen Rulan's younger brother, maybe she won't do anything to him, or maybe Chen Hao already knew about it. After these..."

Zhou Jue interrupted Ye Wei and said, "No, Chen Hao definitely doesn't know, he is definitely on our side, and without him, we wouldn't be able to get to where we are today. You..."

Ye Wei smiled, but said without a smile in his eyes: "It's okay, since you trust him so much, then I have nothing to say, but I want to remind you, do you think your brothers trust him? Skinny Monkey Do you believe it? Does Fat Three believe it?"

Zhou Jue was out of breath from being asked, Ye Wei turned his head at this time, and said as he walked, "If you figure it out, tell me, and I will tell you how to give yourself a chance to save your life."

When Zhou Jue returned to the room with his fists clenched, Chen Hao had already returned, and he looked up at Zhou Jue.Zhou Jue tried his best to control his expression, and said, "I saw that you were not here, so I went outside to find you."

Chen Hao nodded and said, "I'm going to buy cigarettes."

As soon as the conversation stopped, Zhou Jue fell into that uncontrollable shaking and depression, so he raised his head and continued to ask: "Then, have you solved the map and last words?"

Chen Hao took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "Well, it's too late today, I'll tell you tomorrow."

Zhou Jue found that Chen Hao looked into his eyes, piercing his heart like a knife.Zhou Jue nodded guiltyly, and then got into bed, when Chen Hao said, "I heard it."

Zhou Jue's shoulders were stiff and unable to turn, he said, "What did you hear?"

Chen Hao blew out a smoke ring and said, "What Ye Wei told you."

Zhou Jue lifted the quilt resignedly, sat up, and found that Chen Hao was sitting beside his bed, and hadn't returned to his own bed.They looked at each other. At that moment, Zhou Jue felt that he was indeed shaken. Perhaps for him, it was simply impossible to trust someone without reservation, but he had to repeat his firm belief again and again. Determination, what a ridiculous but helpless self-hypnosis.

With a crying voice, Zhou Jue said helplessly, "Brother Chen, I want to believe you. But I..."

Chen Hao went back to his bed and lay down, turning off the bedside lamp.In the dark, Zhou Jue heard Chen Hao say softly: "Forget it, you will know in the future that I am trustworthy, go to sleep."

Zhou Jue replied dryly: "Yes, I see."

The next day, Zhou Jue was still sound asleep, Fat San came in and pushed him awake.Seeing that Chen Hao beside him was gone, Zhou Jue asked, "Where is Chen Hao?"

Fat Three said: "Oh, he went out early in the morning, and he said he wanted to buy something, and when he came back, he would tell us about the map, and Skinny Monkey went shopping with him."

After breakfast, Thin Monkey came back with Chen Hao with a large bundle of things.The moment Zhou Jue and Chen Hao met their eyes, both of them looked away.Chen Hao cleared his throat and said, "Now I can tell you the secret of this map."

He looked around at everyone, and finally set his eyes on Ye Wei, who smiled awkwardly.He said: "Actually, this map is made by overlapping five different maps. In ancient times, such a map had a name called the Furong map."

The thin monkey asked, "Furong map?"

Chen Hao took a sip of water, then took out a fountain pen and some printing paper.He first drew some lines on a piece of paper, and everyone found that he was drawing a map, followed by the second, third...

He spread out the five drawn sheets of paper in front of everyone and said, "These are the five different maps shown on that suicide note."

Zhou Jue picked up the map, looked at one and then the other, trying to find out what the picture looks like from his memory, but finally gave up and said: "I really don't know what this thing means. If so, which one Is it the real map? Isn’t it all real?”

Chen Hao said: "No, only one is true. The map of Furong is a secret map invented by Zhang Qian in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi had a feud, and the Western Han Dynasty wanted to join forces with the Yuezhi to attack the Xiongnu, so they sent people out. The Western Regions. Zhang Qian took the order, but he was afraid that the map would be destroyed by the Huns, so he painstakingly drew such a map of Furong. The map of Furong is actually a pattern composed of several different maps, which can be used as an ornament for embroidery On clothes or saddles, so that no one can see it. The teacher's map is such a map of the hibiscus, and he has told us which map is the real one."

Zhou Jue suddenly thought of the last words, stared and said: "Old map, I want to find the oldest map!"

Chen Hao smiled slightly and said, "That's right, it's the saying 'Look for the old one, the new one won't work'. Among these five maps, only one is a real map."

Fat San said: "Die, these five maps are all old maps in my opinion, anyway, they are different from the current maps, what should I do?"

The thin monkey said: "We don't have a library or archives here, otherwise we can look it up and compare it and maybe we can find it."

Feng Laojiu said: "It's too late, it will be delayed again and again."

At this time, Chen Hao broke the complaints of the crowd and said, "No need to check, I know which one is the oldest."

Everyone looked at Chen Hao in unison. Chen Hao looked a little embarrassed, so he looked down at the printing paper and said, "This one is real."

Fat San picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Dude... is it reliable? This is not the time to guess."

Chen Hao rolled his eyes at him, and said: "When did I ever guess? I recalled all these maps and compared them with those I have seen in the past, including mountains, terrain, and rivers. Although the maps are all old , but the naming of mountains and rivers and the direction of flow will be different in each dynasty. From this, I can infer that this is the map of the Five Dynasties, and it is also the map closest to Guo Pu's time, while the others are from the Yuan Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Two maps. So I'm pretty sure that one is real."

The thin monkey opened his mouth and said, "No way...you actually recited it?"

Chen Hao covered the bridge of his nose and said: "I also spent a lot of effort, so I couldn't answer you last night. It really takes a lot of time, and we don't have time to investigate the source of the map."

The crowd was silent for a moment, then burst into cheers and patted Chen Hao's back excitedly.Chen Hao just looked at Zhou Jue with a smile. Zhou Jue recovered from his excitement and said a little embarrassedly: "So, we have found the correct location of these two tombs. How should we arrange them next?"

Chen Hao picked up the map and pointed it at the light, and said, "Although the map has come out, it can't be compared with the modern map. We don't know how to get there. Also, what does the above place mean?"

Everyone turned their attention to the black triangle on the far side that Chen Hao pointed out, and Chen Hao marked it in simplified Chinese—Yin Yang Dao.

Zhou Jue asked, "What does this mean?"

Chen Hao said: "I'm not very clear, I just translated the teacher's words. But you see, the black triangle seems to be only half. Where is the other half? I think this is not a complete map."

Fat San couldn't help sighing: "After a long time, this is not a complete map... Then what should we do?"

Zhou Jue endured the disappointment in his heart and stared at the map in Chen Hao's hand for a long time.Suddenly, he remembered the concept of the tomb of yin and yang that Ye Wei said yesterday, and said, "Don't worry, why don't we continue reading? There may be hints in the book."

The thin monkey said: "Indeed, if we don't read the book anymore, we may not be able to keep pace with the progress in the book."

Fat San hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for? Don't you feel uncomfortable? If you don't look at it, I will go crazy."

Zhou Jue cast his eyes on Chen Hao, Chen Hao nodded, and silently opened the book——

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xu noticed something jumping out of the woods on the side, and it jumped on Cuiniang's back. Cuiniang staggered, and quickly reached her back with her hands, but because she was too flustered, she couldn't move at all. No strength.Lin Xu hurried up to help, and was surprised to find that there was a dead villager lying on Cuiniang's back, that is, the corpses that were still lying in the village.The dead villager hugged Cuiniang's back like a baby, and was still smiling. Such a smile made one's hair stand on end.Before Lin Xu could figure out how they could move by themselves, the beggar had already lifted the dead body from Cuiniang's back.The corpse fell to the ground stiffly, and it was hard to imagine how it moved so quickly just now.

Beggar moved his chin, motioning for everyone to leave quickly.Liu Fei pointed to the two people who were still poking at the stone, meaning what should they do.A moment of hesitation flashed in Beggar's eyes, she couldn't leave Kui Liuye alone, but because of that moment of hesitation, the rock that was still moving suddenly stopped moving, and then they felt the ground suddenly sink.Several people, together with the corpses beside them, Feng Luxi and Kui Liuye, fell into the gap without even having time to think.

Fortunately, Liu Fei and Qi'er hit their respective meteor hammers when they were most connected, but unfortunately only Liu Fei hit it, and Qi'er had no choice but to hook Liu Fei's chain with his meteor hammer.Before Liu Fei had time to scold, Lin Xu grabbed him by the shoulders and took Cui Niang along with him. He immediately swallowed the weight of the four of them by himself, and he couldn't even use the strength to scold her.

Lin Xu quickly shouted: "Liu Fei, don't let go!"

Liu Fei gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Xu with resentment, but the matter had come to an end, so he couldn't say much.Lin Xu looked at the bottomless cave. Kui Liuye and Feng Luxi had disappeared, and he didn't know their lives or deaths.He looked at the two women below with concern, but they were not Xiaojiabiyu's women, except for a little panic, everything else was fine.But Liu Fei didn't know how long such a chain could last. He adjusted his posture and tried to make his center of gravity upward by relying on his own muscles and sense of balance.He shouted to Lin Xu: "Don't put all your strength on me, I won't be able to hold back!"

Lin Xu looked down at Di Niang, and wanted to try to grab the chain, but if he moved, the Cui Niang below would probably fall, so he had no choice but to say: "Don't move, Cui Niang below is in danger!"

Liu Fei's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body kept sliding down. He cursed in a low voice: "Damn, I can't hold on for long. Can you see anything nearby that I can borrow?"

But the beggar stopped them and said: "Liu Fei don't talk, you listen?"

Liu Fei held his breath and pricked up his ears. He had already practiced his skills, so soon he heard a faint cry from below, which sounded like Feng Luxi's cry.Liu Fei's eyes widened: "He's not dead, so the bottom is probably not too deep."

The beggar looked down, and then said: "I'll jump down first to have a look, you don't want to come down, protect sister Cui."

Before Liu Fei could stop him, the beggar jumped down with a "swallow piercing the moon".Everyone looked down nervously, and soon heard the beggar say: "Liu Fei, jump down, there is something to support!"

After hearing this, Liu Fei nodded to Lin Xu and Cuiniang and said, "Then let's go down." The three nodded and jumped into the cave at the same time.The cave, which was thought to be unfathomable, was not as deep as imagined. To everyone's surprise, it was very empty below, and it was a large flat land, so the words echoed.

Cuiniang asked Lin Xu: "Brother Lin, do you have a booklet? Let's take a look first."

Lin Xu took out the fire pocket and shone a little light.He found that this place was actually an underground village. Through the light, he could vaguely see the surrounding houses, but there were no trees, only stones.

The beggar shouted anxiously to them: "Come here, godfather is injured!"

The three hurriedly ran towards the beggar's voice, and found Feng Luxi huddled between two stones and sighed, but it seemed that there was nothing serious.But Kui Liuye was very bad. He fell on a sharp big rock, and his right shoulder was already covered with blood.It was also thanks to Kui Liuye's toughness that he held back the pain forcefully and did not utter a sound.

The beggar anxiously took out the powder from his bag and gave it to Kui Liuye, but there was no bandage.Lin Xu immediately said: "I have rescue medicine here, first stop Liu Ye's bleeding."

Master Kui Liu looked up at Lin Xu in pain, and nodded to let him bandage.Lin Xu carefully took off Kui Liuye's clothes. His injury was more serious than he imagined. Such an injury could be fatal in normal times. Now... Lin Xu didn't dare to think too much, and hurriedly lowered his head to bandage Kui Liuye , try to tie the bandage as firmly as possible.Master Kui Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I never thought that I, Kui Lao Liu, killed so many people, and would die in this place where no shit happens today. Haha, damn it, retribution!"

Beggar held back tears and said: "Godfather, you will be fine, I will rescue you out."

Kui Liuye waved his hands, propped himself up, and looked around, but no one could continue walking instead of him. He said, "Where is the blind man's board?"

The beggar said, "I have two yuan with me."

Kui Liuye took out his own piece, and at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up all around, and the quiet underground village seemed as lifeless as the underworld, with bursts of chill.They clearly felt that there was something watching them in the depths of darkness.

Kui Liu quickly stuffed the clay tablet back into his clothes, looked up and asked, "What is this place?"

Qi'er shook his head and said: "Qi'er doesn't know, but it should be under that village. And it's very strange here, there are stones everywhere, and there are things carved on the stones, but I can't understand them."

Master Kui Liu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and coughed: "Ahem, if blind man Mao is still here, he might know what is going on here, but it's a pity..."

Beggar bit his lip and lowered his head.Kui Liu looked at Lin Xu and said, "Who is this brother?"

Lin Xu clasped his fists and said, "I am a military doctor named Lin Xu. I was entrusted by Brother Hu to bring a bag of things with me here."

Kui Liuye's eyes darkened, and he said, "Huzi...he..."

Lin Xu lowered his head, and Cui Niang couldn't help crying secretly.Seeing this, Liu Fei said, "Lin Xu joined us instead of Brother Hu, but now one of us already has two boards, this..."

Master Kui Liu endured the pain and asked the beggar to help him stand up. He looked around with bloodshot eyes like a wolf, and said, "Maybe the tiger guessed wrong, or it might be because he didn't want any of us to escape alone. Get rid of your companions. This place is weird, like a village, but there is no trace of popularity."

Beggar frowned slightly, but said nothing.Lin Xu noticed that she looked strange, but asked, "Miss Beggar, do you have anything to say?"

Beggar said: "I just feel that the things following me are more obvious. It seems that there were only one thing before, but now there are two things."

Liu Fei said, "Could it be because you have two boards on your body?"

The beggar shook his head and looked at Master Kui Liu, who held his wound a little helplessly, and said, "But now Huzi is gone, we don't know where this tomb of Guo Pu is, even a blind man with a little knowledge Also died, now we are at the end of our rope!"

At this moment, Cuiniang said, "I know."

Kui Liuye looked at Cuiniang, but Cuiniang looked very calm with a cold face, and she didn't seem to say something impulsively.Her eyes at the moment looked very strange, different from the stubborn and kind girl before.

Cuiniang said flatly: "Brother Hu said, if something happens to him, I will take you all to Guo Pu's tomb. During this period, my words are his words, and everyone must follow my arrangement."

Liu Fei asked unconvinced: "Then why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Cuiniang sighed and shook her head, "Brother Hu said, we must wait until all of us are here, otherwise we will have no way to go."

Liu Fei and Lin Xu supported Kui Liuye, Cui Niang squatted on the ground, and said, "Brother Huzi also said that there is such a place. He said that this is exactly the junction of the Princess Tomb and Guo Pu's Tomb...here All of them have become ghosts now."

Lin Xu looked at Cuiniang and suddenly felt that she seemed to be a different person.She looked at Lin Xu mournfully, and Lin Xu's heart tightened, as if something had been pulled away.

Beggar also saw Cuiniang's strangeness, so he tentatively asked: "Sister Cui, where is this?"

Cuiniang said, "This is the way of yin and yang."

Liu Fei asked: "What is Yin-Yang Dao?"

Cuiniang said: "This place was originally a crack caused by a ground cow turning over. Later, an expert built such a village in the ground. There are two kinds of people living in this village: one is the one who does not breathe, and the one who has nothing to do with the dead. They don't need air; one is alchemists, each with special skills.
