Ring of Seven [Publication Edition]

Wei looked around while walking and said: "The so-called five elements are nothing more than the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. One attribute can give birth to another attribute, but it will inevitably restrain the other, the so-called way of Yin and Yang. We are entering the wooden formation. At the same time, we must be careful, it may also generate golden gates."

Zhou Jue nodded, and sure enough, not far ahead, Lin Xu's flashlight caught some dark frames, which felt like a thatched hut, very dilapidated.After walking in, I realized that these houses were seriously damaged.

There are still traces of knife cuts and fires on the walls of some houses, and the passage of time has caused the original thatched roofs to rot away, leaving only broken walls and beam skeletons scattered around, which is more like a looted the remains of theZhou Jue and the others shuttled through the deathly silent ruins, looking at the shocking ruins and short tiles, as if they could imagine how miserable the suppression was at that time.Today, such a house is as silent as a ghost.

Feng Laojiu touched the earthen wall and said, "This place looks really miserable."

Zhou Jue said in a low voice: "Yes! But there is no remains. Maybe it's because it's been too long."

Lin Xu interrupted them and said: "Don't say such things here, those dead spirits have not rested in peace, and hearing your words will make you even more disturbed."

Zhou Jue suddenly found a relatively complete stone tablet beside a broken tile, and more than half of the dragon on it had been worn away.Some vague words below are still preserved.Lin Xu wiped the dirt on the stone wall, and Ye Wei took a closer look and said, "This is a stone wall for sacrifices, and its function is to take it out for worship during sacrifices."

Lin Xu nodded and said: "Indeed, you can see that there are similar bloody marks on it. It should be that the animals were killed and blood was poured on the stone tablet at that time. It is also a kind of blood sacrifice."

Ye Wei continued: "There are some inscriptions on it, which seem to describe the system and classification of the scorpion tribe. The first and lowest category is the corpse man, which is similar to zombies. Besides, they just know how to use scorpions. The highest level is the so-called scorpion. They can bring the dead back to life, and the corpses they revived are naturally more cherished, but they rarely revive the corpses. Take Guo Pu as an example, he can be regarded as a great master who is rare in a hundred years, but he has never in his life. When a corpse is revived, or even a ghost that can revive the corpse is found, the news is blocked, but here is a secret about ghosts."

Following Ye Wei's indifferent exposition, Feng Laojiu became more and more short of breath.He asked, "What secret?"

Ye Wei turned to look at him and said, "He discovered that the corpse revived through ghost amber can be immortal, and has mysterious power, that is to say, the resurrected corpse is like ghosts and gods, which is the so-called corpse turning into a fairy."

Feng Laojiu clenched the hand on his chest and asked, "Become a god?"

Ye Wei shook his head and said: "No, it's still a ghost, and it's quite pitiful. Because the resurrected corpse will repeatedly experience the pain it suffered when it died every day, and this pain is the motivation to resurrect him again. One can imagine the resentment... ...so it's a ghost."

Feng Laojiu covered his neck and continued to ask: "... Is there any way to rest in peace?"

Lin Xu looked at the stele thoughtfully, and murmured: "They are the corpses of the scorpion clan. In fact, they are dead corpses that can be revived with the scorpion technique, but they cannot become human beings. Using methods to cast spells can make the resurrected corpses sleep again, which is what we are going to do. The patterns in the clay tablets are the sequence of the secret spells."

Zhou Jue heard this, and suddenly said: "Then, the evil spirit in the clay tablet is actually..."

Lin Xu looked at Zhou Jue, nodded and said, "That's right, those seven are the last batch of great masters of the Li clan. It is very likely that something happened to the last seven people of the Li tribe, and it involved the central government at that time. Centralization of power, that is, Liu Yu, in the end this group of people ended up being wiped out. And that princess...was also implicated because of that catastrophe, but it seems that the emperor still treats her very politely, otherwise he would not treat her as a princess The specification is for the burial."

Lin Xu and Zhou Jue looked at each other for a long time, Lin Xu said: "You may still have doubts, it's no wonder, but it's fate. I didn't believe in fate at first, but Cui Niang and the others made me believe it."

Zhou Jue thought for a while, and said: "There is one thing, I think I should tell you, we did not find Cuiniang's body in her coffin, but another woman's."

Lin Xu froze there for a moment, and said in a cold sweat, "What did you say? Have you ever been to Cuiniang's grave?"

Zhou Jue nodded and said, "That's right, we found Cuiniang's coffin and spirit tablet in the ancestral hall, but the corpse inside belonged to Chen Hao's sister, Chen Rulan. She was one of the seven of us in the last batch. The reason why we were able to We have come to this point entirely by relying on the information she left behind."

Lin Xu opened his eyes wide, squeezed his fists and said, "Cui Niang's body is gone? How is it possible?" He looked around and murmured, "Cui Niang, how could this happen?"

Zhou Jue continued: "We also don't have any clues, but Feng Laojiu has also been resurrected, so I wonder if Cui Niang will also come back from the dead?"

Lin Xu frowned and shook his head. "Cui Niang died very thoroughly. She will not have a chance to come back to life. If she really came back to life, then..."

He looked at Zhou Jue and the others and said, "Then she is no longer Cui Niang, but the tomb owner of the Princess Tomb." But he quickly continued shaking his head, "But this is impossible..."

Feng Laojiu said, "By the way, where is that book now?"

Zhou Jue paused, and said, "It's always on Chen Hao's body."

The thin monkey suddenly pointed to the room ahead and said, "Look at the room over there."

The thin monkey pointed to a very abrupt house beside an earthen wall. This house looked out of place with the surrounding broken walls, because it was too new to look like an ancient one.The roof of that house is very large, almost like the house of the Banpo clan in the Stone Age.But this house is made very solidly, with blue bricks and black tiles, very grand.

Ye Wei said, "Hmm...strange, there is something wrong with this house."

Ye Wei pointed to the house and said: "The other houses are all built according to the yang house, but this one is built according to the feng shui of the yin house. Look, does the structure of this house look like a huge pile of rammed earth?"

He glanced at everyone: "Generally, if a living person lives in it, he will die within a year."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a very clear bell sound from the house, the sound seemed to invade everyone's brains.Fat San swallowed and said, "Still... don't go in, who knows what's in there, let's not make extra trouble."

Lin Xu said: "It's strange that we didn't see this house at the beginning, and the house was not damaged. Although it has been so long, it is still very new, and it does not look like a building more than 1000 years ago."

Zhou Jue whispered to himself and asked, "Who... lives in it?"

At this time, the bell rang again, as if answering Zhou Jue's question.

Feng Laojiu took the lead and walked forward, the ringing of the bell became louder and more urgent.Everyone watched as Feng Laojiu pushed open the door, and after pushing the door, the bell disappeared.

The moment Feng Laojiu pushed the door, he seemed to see the original appearance of the room, the light green curtain, the incense burner burning with agarwood, and a picture of black plum hanging on the wall, which was cool and cozy, and behind the gauze curtain, there seemed to be a personal.She raised her head and opened the screen window, and said with a smile, "You're here..."

But in the blink of an eye, what everyone saw was the scene of this house more than 1000 years later. There were no light green gauze curtains, and the incense burner was placed on the gray-black table, which was already rotten. Be the same.Feng Laojiu thought of the woman lifting the curtain again, and the voice saying "you are here".Who is she calling?

Fat San looked around and said: "This room is more luxurious than the others. Look at the incense burner, and then look at the decorations. There is also a white jade vase. I'll... I'll grow up if I come back alive!"

Ye Wei interjected coldly: "If you don't want to die, you can take it. The things here are extremely yin-rich, and the yin energy is heavier than the tomb. Taking away the things here is no different from taking the death talisman of Lord Hades."

Fat San quickly withdrew his hand.Ye Wei said: "The status of the owner of this house should be very high, but... will she be a grand master?"

Lin Xu shook his head and said, "Probably not. All the people living in this village are corpses. The suzerain won't live here. They should be corpses with high status."

The thin monkey looked at the house, and suddenly pointed to the four corners of the house and said, "Look, there are copper bells in the four corners of this house, no wonder they ring."

Sure enough, there are four very huge copper bells around the house, on which are depicted the four gods and beasts, and the secret symbols of the Li tribe, and the patterns are very similar to the patterns on the clay tablets.

Ye Wei silently looked around, then stopped suddenly: "Bronze bell, Minato Bureau... there seems to be something famous here."

Zhou Jue asked, "Is there any question?"

Ye Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but I don't think such a decoration and design can be accidental."

The thin monkey walked towards the copper bell and said, "Damn, no wonder the sound can be heard so far away. I guess I can carry such a big copper bell by myself."

Fat San said: "The ringtone is quite crisp. I didn't expect it to be so rough. It looks like it's made of bronze, right?"

Feng Laojiu was very excited after entering the house. He walked to the side of the copper bell, looked at the texture on it and said, "I saw this copper bell in the Princess Grave, I know where it is!"

He looked at the surrounding environment and said: "The murals in the tomb passage have mentioned this place. The murals depict scenes of the tomb owner's life, and there are copper bells in several places."

Zhou Jue frowned, and asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

Feng Laojiu stroked the copper bell and said: "The owner of this room is the owner of the tomb of Princess Tomb. She is also a corpse."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Wei, who had been silent until now, groaned and said in a panic, "Minato Bureau, yes, why did I forget? Let's go, get out of here!"

After speaking, he pulled the thin monkey and ran out, but before he could throw his feet, he heard the rapid sound of the copper bells on all sides, which was so ear-piercing that it made the scalp numb.

When Ye Wei looked up, he found a hissing sound on the pitch-black beam: "It's over..."

At this time, Lin Xu and Zhou Jue leaned over and asked, "What's going on?"

Ye Wei looked at the roof in panic, and said, "The copper bell is actually placed here for..."

Before he finished speaking, the whole house suddenly began to shake violently. The white jade vase broke on the ground after shaking a few times, and the next second, wood began to fall from the roof.

The thin monkey grabbed Feng Laojiu, who was already in a daze, and Feng Laojiu pointed to the painting of ink plums and said, "Look!"

The thin monkey pulled Feng Laojiu away from a wooden comb, and shouted: "No time to watch, no time, run for your life!"

Big man Zhou Jue: "Speak out what you see, don't let us see it, you will die if you see it!"

Feng Laojiu said: "The plum blossoms in this painting are blooming!"

The wooden stakes fell like a rain of arrows, and everyone hid, but there was almost no place to hide.Feng Laojiu stared at the picture of Momei like a maniac.

Zhou Jue looked back in horror, and found that the plum blossoms of the black plum actually bloomed, and after a closer look, he found that it was not a plum blossom, but just covered with gnats.Feng Laojiu said something silently, as if he was talking to the painting.

The stakes kept falling, and soon they had no room to dodge, only to hear Fat San let out a scream.Zhou Jue turned around in astonishment, Fat San folded his arms and panted heavily.In the next second, the stake hit Zhou Jue's shoulder, and he felt as if he had been hit by a hammer, the pain was so painful that he couldn't even open his eyes.

Zhou Jue covered his shoulders and said, "Rush out."

But as soon as they moved towards the door, the stakes fell more, as if to trap them in the house on purpose.

Fat San cried, "What should I do?"

The thin monkey was also sweating profusely. He said, "It doesn't matter, just take a few steps, rush out and fight hard."

At this moment, Zhou Jue suddenly heard an all-too-familiar voice.

"Don't move! You all stand still and don't move!"

Zhou Jue turned his head suddenly, and found a person standing at the door, who turned out to be the missing Chen Hao.

He stood outside the house alone, looking at the people trapped in the house, but his eyes were very cold.He stared at the brass bell in the house and said: "Don't move it anymore, if you move it, you will fall even more."

The moment Zhou Jue saw Chen Hao, he almost cried out. No one thought that Chen Hao would appear at this time, and he was not injured.Zhou Jue breathed a sigh of relief, at least he knew that this guy was safe, but soon he had to worry about himself.

Chen Hao looked at the bell, and said to the six people inside: "All of you move to the east, be careful, as soon as the bell rings, you all stop and don't move!"

Doing what Chen Hao said, those weird wooden stakes on the roof did not fall any more, and the bell only shook slightly, making a weak sound.In the end, even their heavy breathing was louder than a bell.

In order to let everyone calm down, Chen Hao said very slowly: "Come on slowly, pay attention to the movement around you. This house is a wooden gate array, as long as you don't touch the mechanism, you will be fine. When you reach the end of that direction, as long as you Just walk along the wall to me."

Ye Wei stopped everyone and stared at Chen Hao: "How did you know about this situation?"
