Ring of Seven [Online Version]

Chen Hao said meaningfully, and even Zhou Jue felt that Lao Jiu's words were a bit out of line.It was used as a refuge air-raid shelter back then, how could it be destroyed as soon as it was destroyed?It's not a shabby project.

Pointing to his own wound, Lao Jiu said: "It's full of oil now, and if you go in again, you only need a faint flame, and it may explode, and then no one inside will be able to escape. You can't even get in. I don't believe it." up to you."

At this time, the thin monkey suddenly patted Lao Jiu on the shoulder, and then pointed behind him. Guo Mei, who had already paid the money, did not leave, but followed behind them all the time. go down.

Chen Hao frowned and looked at Guo Mei. Seeing that everyone's eyes were full of disgust and vigilance, Guo Mei couldn't stay any longer. She passed Chen Hao's side with a snort and walked out.

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly, Zhou Jue looked at the phone and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back to the hotel, there are a lot of people here."

So Chen Hao took the lead and led a group of people back to the hotel, while Ye Wei didn't say a word among them.As if he had lost interest in this matter, he just looked back intentionally or unintentionally, as if something was staring at them behind him.

Back at the hotel, Zhou Jue inserted the key card, and Fat San made a pot of teabags for everyone to sober up. A group of men surrounded a bed as if they were having some illegal gambling, and placed them in the middle of the bed. Everything related to the ring of seven, some are tightly wrapped in cloth, and some are just some A4 copy paper.And that old book with a yellow cover is the most eye-catching existence, everything started because of this book.

Feng Laojiu sat in the corner, he didn't put Guhun Po in these things, from this point of view he resolutely chose to keep Chen Hao.

Chen Hao lit a cigarette, and said: "There are many things that everyone already knows, but this is not the answer. And what we have at hand can almost outline a general idea, and what awaits us is only a choice. In the end How to go, there are two tombs for us to choose, one is the tomb where we took refuge at the beginning, and the other is the mysterious tomb that Cui Niang took them into at the end. These two tombs are extremely dangerous. There's another chance."

After he finished speaking, no one answered, even Zhou Jue just lowered his head silently, thinking and caution flowed from everyone's face.After all, life is not something that can be fought with a fever in the head. They are still young and are afraid of death.

Except for one person, Lao Jiu looked at the crowd and said, "Why don't you continue reading? Look at Lin Xu's situation at that time, maybe there will be details about that ancient tomb."

Everyone paused, as if they hadn't thought about it, Chen Hao said: "Now the story is almost finished, and now the hints and help given by Rulan are over. If you want to read the book, I want to hear about it." Views."

Fat San understood what Chen Hao meant, and he said awkwardly: "That's true. Reading a book is like communicating with ghosts. Now that our bugs are gone, will this equipment be completely wiped out now?"

Feng Laojiu snorted and said, "What's the point of thinking about this now? If you get involved, there is no way out. Once you get involved, don't even think about getting out."

Seeing the situation, Zhou Jue froze again, and he quickly said: "Indeed, there is no way out. Let's continue watching, but I want to know a few key points before watching, at least I can't follow along in a daze. Don't forget That's why we tried to change the ending that the book leads from the beginning."

Fat San and Thin Monkey nodded, and Chen Hao squinted at Ye Wei, who was always teasing the cat, and said, "What do you want to know?"

Zhou Jue clenched his fists and said, "Okay, then I will tell everyone my concept of this matter, and everyone should not be influenced by me, because these are just my personal opinions, and there are more mistakes than reasoning."

Fat San interrupted me and said, "Second brother, don't be a mother-in-law, just keep talking."

Shouhou also nodded and said: "That's right, even if dead buddies go on the road together, I'm afraid of being a hair."

When Fat San heard the word death, he immediately said: "Damn, don't die! We are all lucky and won't die!"

Seeing everyone saying this, Zhou Jue calmed down. He found that even Chen Hao smiled at him. He said, "First of all, it is about this book. This book was found in the library. But according to Chen Rulan's According to the information given, this book was originally obtained from a group of strange people, and it was related to Chen Rulan's mysterious mentor, so I speculated that they might be the seven people from Chen Rulan's previous batch, so the thread may be connected. Let's make a number, Lin Xu assumes it is 1, and the mysterious teacher is 2, Chen Rulan is 3, and we are 4. You see, the numbers can be connected without interruption."

The thin monkey interjected, "There has never been a break..."

Zhou Jue said: "Yes, so there is no interruption before us. This is not good news, it means that no one has cracked the ring of seven. At least everyone before us has failed. This is what I have to say. first conclusion."

As soon as Zhou Jue finished speaking, he couldn't help trembling, because according to his own calculations, those so-called predecessors became one of the seven people, but in the end they couldn't break the situation. Life is death, even life and death are uncertain, but there is still no way to escape from all of this.

Fat San said tremblingly: "My buddy, your opening remarks are so horrifying. If you don't have a good conclusion after that, you should stop talking... Otherwise, I will have the idea of ​​committing suicide."

Zhou Jue said: "Of course, we are not yet at the point of despair. First of all, Chen Rulan gave us a lot of hints, summarizing all the information to us segment by segment, including all the clay tablets, and she almost succeeded several times. The land is ahead or breaks the law of the seven-person ring. Anyway, let’s talk about the hints first. Chen Rulan seems to leave all the clues on Cuiniang. Moreover, Cuiniang’s face-changing twice in the book makes people feel very strange In addition, she reminded the signal of death fear. What does this represent? Old man Ma's explanation of the scorpion tribe made me think that they are a group of weird people who study dead bodies. To put it bluntly, they specialize in studying dead people. What does this have to do with them? Could it be that when Cui Niang and the others entered the tomb and activated the secret of the Clan Clan, all of this now, including the book of the Ring of Seven, is a sequelae of the Clan Clan? That is to say, there was no Ring of Seven before Huzi and the others entered the ancient tomb. This book, all of this has to come after Huzi and Cuiniang entered, which means that the author should be one of those who survived, and Lin Xu is the most likely. Feng Luxi, we already know Now, he is the grandfather of Feng Laojiu, and the beggar is the Chen family. Then there are also Kui Liuye and Liu Fei who entered. What happened to them?

Another point is the so-called mutual replacement of seven people. If they must maintain seven integers, then there must be another person coming in.Who is he?If not, what is the explanation?

So the mysterious tomb they are going to enter at the end seems to be more worth exploring. Which one is our answer?Or both or both?

As for the seven people in the story, I always feel that they themselves are very weird. Why did they hide from Lin Xu in the first place, and what happened to Cuiniang’s tomb we saw earlier?I think these are the questions that we have to figure out. "

Feng Laojiu nodded and said: "That's right, my grandfather also said that some of the original seven people are not human anymore."

Chen Hao still didn't say anything, he just stared at the book and smoked.

Zhou Jue continued: "If this is the case, then Cui Niang is the biggest problem, but what happened to Cui Niang in the end? Is it dead or alive? Originally, Cui Niang's tomb became Chen Rulan's burial place, and who is it? Who set up this weird tomb for Cuiniang? It’s unreasonable.”

Everyone didn't answer the conversation. In fact, everyone was waiting for Chen Hao to explain this. Chen Hao stubbed out the cigarette butt. He looked at Zhou Jue and said, "Cui Niang must have died in the end, because the only people who came out were Lin Xu and Qier." And Feng Luxi, the other two people also have no news. If they are still there, then they must also have news, but obviously not.

I don't know where Cui Niang died in the end, it's really hard to say.And why Rulan died in Yinbing Village in the end, although I don't know the details, but according to her personality, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will work hard and never give up.Something made her completely desperate.But... what is it?Why did it fail in the end? "

Zhou Jue suddenly understood the hidden meaning of Chen Hao's words. He said, "She chose the wrong one? So she is only one step away from success. She chose the wrong one between A and B."

Lao Jiu stood up suddenly and said, "I know, Chen Rulan entered that grave! She entered the one I went to! So it failed."

Chen Hao was not as surprised as Lao Jiu. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit another, saying, "I know, we have received the information about that tomb. But why do you say that entering that tomb will fail?" Chen Hao Looking up at Zhou Jue, she said, "Do you still remember the weird tomb that Rulan wrote in her diary? What she saw was the scene where Huzi and Cuiniang had just escaped."

Zhou Jue nodded, and Chen Hao continued: "She went to that tomb...and never came back..."

There was something flickering in Lao Jiu's eyes, and he said: "Indeed, there are traces of people entering that tomb, but it's strange that they didn't make it to the end..."

Chen Hao froze for a moment, he paused to look at Lao Jiu and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lao Jiu said: "A group of people went in before me, because there are used equipment in the tomb passage, and the age should not be far away... But there are no traces of them anymore, as if they suddenly disappeared."

Chen Hao looked at Lao Jiu and said, "Can you tell me about the tomb in detail?"

Lao Jiu stared at Chen Hao, and the two looked at themselves in each other's eyes. Finally, Lao Jiu lowered his head and said decadently: "I went in to get that thing..."

Lao Jiu paused for a while, and then he said slowly: "At that time, I got the documents about Guhunpo, and found that the clues my grandfather left me referred to this thing, and this thing has been looming in the documents, and finally In the confidential documents in the archives, I found a memorial to the court during the Boxer Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, which means that Guhunpo appeared for the last time in the Qing Dynasty, and it caused a lot of trouble and shocked the people at that time. Empress Dowager Cixi.

It was at this time that the Gengzi Incident broke out. Lin Heier, one of the leaders of the Boxers, and a ship girl who claimed to be the Virgin of the Yellow Lantern claimed to have found the magic medicine that could resist the artillery and firearms of foreigners. The head of the Punishment Department of the militia is resolute. Seeing that there are real fighters in the boxing group who are still alive with foreign guns, they think that 'the boxers can be trusted'.

But in the end, after the whole turmoil, a man named Qiao Sanqi got Guhunpo.But after he got this thing, he disappeared, and the last time he appeared was in Jilong Mountain, which is the territory of Nanjing City today, so I guess that the strange corpse that Lin Xu and the others encountered was Qiao Sanqi. "

The thin monkey asked: "Who is Qiao Sanqi? So he has great powers?"

Chen Hao said: "Although Qiao Sanqi is not well-known, his master is Jiao Si, the famous southern sect tomb robber. His ability should not be underestimated."

Feng Laojiu continued: "I don't know about this, I just think that there is a clue to resurrect the dead in this document, I contacted my own situation, and felt that Guhunpo might be the last and only hope left by my grandfather .I had to get it, so I found the tomb according to the clues left by my grandfather. In fact, the tomb was very hidden, and there was no monument. It looked like an ordinary hill, and the surrounding area was very barren. I didn’t I don’t have any experience in archaeological excavation, and I was very at a loss when I got there. I can only explore according to my grandfather’s impression decades ago, but it’s so weird that I dug the door of the tomb as soon as I dug. Even I think it’s a coincidence ..."

At this time, the black cat in Ye Wei's arms let out a piercing scream.The sound was like grinding metal, it made one's teeth ache.Lao Jiu narrowed his eyes and stared at the cat, which seemed to be staring at him spiritually. Zhou Jue broke the stalemate and asked, "So... you finally went in? What's it like inside? And how did you get Guhunpo?"

Feng Laojiu looked back and continued: "I think everything is simple and beyond my expectation. I found the robbery cave very smoothly. I climbed along the cave to a tomb room. Although I am not a student of the Department of Archeology, But there is no coffin in this tomb. So I concluded that it was just an ear chamber. I turned on the flashlight and found that the things in this ear chamber were very single, only a few funerary utensils and no valuable funerary objects. But the murals are very exquisite , and there are many phoenix patterns in the murals. And many strange text patterns, after Professor Ma's explanation, I found that these texts are the talismans used by the alchemists of the Li tribe."

Chen Hao nodded and said, "In ancient times, only royal women could enjoy ornamental totems like the phoenix. The owner of this tomb may be a princess or queen. And it must be very closely related to the Li tribe."

Feng Laojiu said: "But if it is a princess, her burial objects are too few, which is very contradictory. The tomb passage is very quiet, and I can almost hear my own heartbeat. Suddenly I feel that there is a wind blowing there. Entering the tomb passage, seven copper pillars were erected at the entrance of the tomb passage according to the Big Dipper. These pillars are very firm, without any decorations on them, but each copper pillar has a palm-sized groove..."

Chen Hao stopped smoking, and even Ye Wei, who had been teasing the cat, narrowed his eyes. Everyone seemed to think of one thing, which was the mysterious clay tablet in the book.Could it be that these clay tablets were originally placed in these seven copper pillars?Taking away the clay tablet they opened the curse of this mysterious ancient tomb?

Feng Laojiu understood what they were thinking, and he continued: "At this moment, my flashlight went dark after a few flashes. Although I knew that I was no longer a human being, I still had all the fear of human beings. Inside the tomb passage, my eyes can no longer function, I can only feel gusts of wind blowing by. The wind is so strange, I can only hear my heartbeat and the strange sound of the wind, and then feel the smell of blood in the wind , although it is very faint, but I am very familiar with that smell..." After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue understood that he deserved the weird faces he saw in the room.

Zhou Jue just nodded towards him, signaling him to continue talking, and he believed what he said.

Feng Laojiu said: "My eyes have completely lost their function. I smell this smell at this time. There are only two feelings. One is instinctive fear, and the other is the feeling that I can't speak. I can only say that I I want to blend into this smell... I walked towards that strange smell, walking in the corridor without a trace of light, but this smell became my only traction. I don't know why I feel very at ease .In my memory, I kept going forward without turning. Although I don't know archaeology, it's a bit strange that I haven't reached the end after walking for so long. The tomb should not be very big in terms of structure, but I It almost felt like I had been straight for a long time. I began to slowly pull back to consciousness. I stretched out my hand to touch the wall, and the walls of the corridor became smoother and smoother, as if touching a marble surface. There was no unevenness between the stone walls, it was simply It was like a complete stone wall. I don’t know how long I suddenly touched a protrusion. It was something like a doorknob, similar to a ring, but there were many concave and convex gears on it. I didn’t use much effort, as if when I After the hand raised the strength on the handle, the handle popped out immediately, as if it was automatic. My arm was injured by such a stone door at this time. At that time, half of my arm suddenly lost consciousness Then I just felt a gust of wind passing by my ears, and the door closed instantly. I should say I was lucky, because I just stretched out my hand to touch it. I was hit to death by the counter-impact force of such a thick stone door. I endured the pain and continued to test, thinking it was a secret door. But I found that the design of the stone door is very ingenious. As long as the force on the knocker mechanism disappears, the stone door Then it 'bounced' back automatically. It's like the principle of rubber band. So I pulled the stone ring very carefully for the second time, and retreated with the stone door for a moment, but I didn't let go, the other hand It was only successful when I penetrated into the stone gate. The strange thing is that the space inside is very narrow, and people can’t get in at all. I was only allowed to reach in with one hand. So I could only reach in and touch it, and suddenly felt something like a bell .I heard a bell ringing."

Chen Hao took a deep breath: "What you touched is the coffin!"

Feng Laojiu said, "How do you know?"

Chen Hao said: "Do you still remember that Ru Lan wrote in her diary that she heard the sound of a bell in that tomb? I always wondered why it was a bell, and then I realized that it was a coffin! In the tombs of ancient nobles, Hang bells on every corner of the coffin. It is said that they can recall the soul of the owner of the tomb. The bell has the function of summoning the soul. Whenever the bell rings, it means that the soul has left the body. Therefore, the bell will ring to recall the soul that has dispersed .So placing copper bells around the coffin has a calming effect.”

Zhou Jue said: "If this is the case, then it means that what Chen Rulan saw... the soul of the owner of the tomb has..."

Feng Laojiu didn't allow Zhou Jue to continue. He said: "It's not that simple. I found out that there is no main tomb at all, and the coffin is parked in a very deep passage. You can't reach into it with your hands, you can only touch it. The coffin outside. There is no main tomb, the coffin is embedded in the tomb passage. The stone outside is as strong as iron, and there is such a stone door that can pop open in an instant."

The thin monkey asked: "Didn't your grandfather go in again? Didn't he mention the details of the tomb owner's coffin in the letter?"

Feng Laojiu said: "No, I didn't say it...so I was shocked when I touched the coffin, so I could only follow the place I could touch to find the solid soul amber left by grandpa."

Chen Hao said: "This design is indeed very powerful. Its anti-theft method is very ingenious. First, the stone gate can almost bounce open and even kill the tomb robbers. Second, even if the mystery of the stone gate is solved, you can only touch the outside of the coffin. It is impossible to touch the coffin at all. This technique is like an anti-theft method in the Southern and Northern Dynasties after the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The dark room in the passage is actually the place where the dragon’s den was built. In the so-called main tomb, only the clothes are buried. That's all, many people mistakenly think this is just a tomb, but in fact, the owner of the tomb played a trick of consciousness transformation with our descendants."

Zhou Jue sighed and said: "Not only are we exhausting all kinds of obscenity and skill, but we are also playing games with future generations in our hearts. The specifications of this tomb can be seen to be unusual."

Feng Laojiu touched his arm and said: "At first I thought there was no hope, but for some reason, there was the sound of rocks rolling down from the depths of the dark passage, the sound was very crisp, just as I was groping aimlessly. When I opened it, I actually touched Guhunpo. Guhunpo rolled out from the depths of the dark passage in the coffin. But such a narrow space that only allows me to put one hand in, how could there be such a deep passage inside? I don't even know what the coffin looks like."

Fat San couldn't help breaking out of cold sweat on his forehead, everyone's faces were full of horror and disbelief, Feng Laojiu continued to narrate with an extremely distorted face: "I was so scared that I almost let go of the stone gate mechanism, but I still I took out the Guhunpo, and I never thought that when I picked it up, a hand covered my hand! It was a woman's hand!"

Chen Hao said, "How do you know it's a woman's hand?"

Feng Laojiu had an expression of embarrassment on his face. He said awkwardly: "Because that hand is very smooth and soft. Although it is as cold as ice, I think it should be a woman's hand."

Fat San snorted, and Feng Laojiu coughed in a false voice and continued: "I didn't have any evil thoughts at the time, but I was so scared that I quickly withdrew my hand and let the bullet door close instantly. I squatted in the corridor and squeezed it Guhunpo was too frightened to move. But..."

Chen Hao's face was as pale as Feng Laojiu, and he said, "Did you feel that woman is in the tunnel?"

Feng Laojiu nodded and said: "That's right...the direction of the hands is the same. It seems that there is also a person squatting in the corridor like me, and she is also reaching for the coffin inside, so my hand touches the coffin." It's like seeing her. But I didn't feel that there was another person in the corridor. I immediately felt that the tomb was full of ghosts. The owner of the tomb here seemed to be a ghost, and the so-called mausoleum was just to guard her. That's it, I don't know why I feel this way. But at that moment, I felt that the owner of that hand was very scary.

I figured I'd get something, so I'd better get out as soon as possible.But I didn't have a lighting tool in my hand, so I could only step back step by step. I didn't expect that I was slipped all of a sudden. I didn't know when a lot of oil oozed out of the ground, and there was no way to walk.I tried to get up and slipped.I feel that the passage on the wall is full of oil, and the entire passage is filled with a very disgusting and greasy smell.I don't know if I touched some mechanism or because of that hand... In short, I can't move around, I can only struggle in the pile of oil.At this time, bells rang in the corridor, and many bells rang together, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't walk or even crawl.Then I heard a bang, and then flames shot out from the depths of the corridor, and the entire corridor was ignited. "

Fat San couldn't help interjecting, "Then how did you get out?"

Feng Laojiu sighed and said, "I...how did I get out..."

Feng Laojiu opened the collar of his clothes and said: "I fainted at that time, and when I woke up, I was already at the entrance of the robbery cave. There is no difference between being dead and not dead. I found that Guhubo was firmly in my hand. At this time, I turned around...there was already burning, and the oil was ignited. The temperature in the entire tomb was very high. And in the depths of the tomb passage, I vaguely heard the sound of bells, but it sounded like a woman's scream."

The thin monkey said; "Then what about the coffin? It was also burned?"

Chen Hao said: "It's unlikely. I think the stone walls in the corridor will definitely play a role in preventing fire, and the lack of burial objects is likely to be caused by the fire in the corridor when the mechanism is touched. But the smooth stone wall can protect the dark. The actual coffin inside was saved from the fire."

Zhou Jue said: "In other words, there were originally many burial objects, but as long as someone touches the jade to return it, kerosene will automatically seep out of the tomb passage, and the tomb robbers and burial objects will be burned together."

Fat San couldn't help but sighed: "What a violent thing..."

Chen Hao said disapprovingly: "Not necessarily, many truly valuable things are placed in the coffin. The burial objects in the tomb passage may be just ordinary ghost objects."

Feng Laojiu continued: "But Chen Rulan probably didn't enter this secret room, just like what I said earlier, I only saw modern consumables in the tomb passage at the end, and I didn't find them when I went in. In addition, if Chen Rulan five years ago If you enter the tunnel and cause a fire, then at least there will be corpses, but the tunnel to Zhumuxue is very narrow, and I haven't found any similar bones. So I don't think Chen Rulan entered the tunnel."

Zhou Jue questioned: "Then since she didn't enter, how could she die?"

The thin monkey said at this time: "There is something we should clarify."

Everyone focused their eyes on the thin monkey, and the thin monkey said, "Who is the identity of the owner of this tomb?"
