Ring of Seven [Online Version]

Republic of China:

Everyone was baffled by the simple yet thorny question in front of them. After all, Kui Liuye was an old Jianghu. He looked at everyone one by one, but no one could give any useful clues or hints.Then he smiled and said: "Since you have nothing to do, then I think it's better to press this matter. Now that the Japanese ghosts are still on top, 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, everyone present was really shaken, but there was only one person, and that person was the blind man. He shook his head and said, "Sixth Lord, what you said is wrong. , then the few of us may be in trouble, and Gazi's death may be a warning."

Kui Liuye stared at the thin old man, but after all, blind Mao had a reputation in the world, and what he said was indeed reasonable.Therefore, Kui Liuye'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, and they became even more impatient seeing him startled at this moment.Master Kui Liu 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 after hearing this, but the dart was nailed into the corpse like it was nailed into rotten flesh.Huzi stopped Liu Fei from moving, and approached the corpse cautiously, while the corpse lay motionless on the ground.Black water and chunks of flesh were still pouring out around the corpse.

Such a corpse is really impossible to look at. Just at the moment when everyone couldn't wait to look away, the corpse suddenly shook, and the speed was extremely fast, but it was more like a pool of strange flesh moving of creeping.Cui Niang screamed, because she couldn't bear the nausea, she vomited on the spot.The pile of flesh spread out as if consciously.Everyone was afraid that the meat would touch them, but those pieces of meat seemed to be consciously moving towards the depths of the tomb. It is also frightening.Under such decomposition, the pile of living flesh disappeared into the depths of the tomb passage, and 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 turn into minced meat and twist back like Gazi after death, then they have to figure out what's going on.But the underwater grave is elusive.

Among all the people, Huzi was the most familiar with these strange things. He soon discovered that there was another thing at the scene besides Gazi's clothes.That thing looked like a piece of white jade, so Huzi guessed that when Gazi didn't keep up with them, he also touched the other dark objects in the tomb, but the tomb was empty, and they couldn't find anything after looking one by one. It is a ghost weapon, but this white jade is so conspicuously appearing in Gazi's clothes now.Did he take it secretly, or did it appear suddenly, or did it happen after that weird flood.All of this seemed to be arranged, as if an invisible hand was pushing them.Guide them into a more grotesque situation.

Huzi cautiously wanted to take the white jade, but was stopped by Mao Xiazi.Blind Mao bared his teeth and said, "Gazi is dead strange, and this jade is even more strange. I think this thing is too evil. It's better not to touch it."

Huzi shook his head and said: "No, this is the finest white jade, and there is a sense of warmth from the white jade. If it is Yin jade or dead jade, it must be cold in color. In my opinion, this wat board has a certain quality. A bit of aura. It seems to be used by a respected person."

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. The white jade wat board must be a first-rank official or a prince or general to be eligible to take it. This..."

Huzi pinched the stains stuck on the wat board, and he found some words engraved on the white jade wat board, but because of the age, and the fugitive team composed of semi-literate or illiterate 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 Blind Mao stopped shaking his head. He looked at the wat board, his eyes lit up. He held Huzi's arm, pointed to a word on the wat board and said, "Guo Jingchun! This thing belongs to Guo Pu." Wat board!"

Although Huzi didn't know about emperors and generals, he had to know Guo Pu because he was the famous author of "The Burial Sutra".

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. Then they were buried with themselves."

Blind Mao still shook his head and said, "But it appeared suddenly, why did it have to be placed on Gazi's clothes? The reality of this appearance is also strange. Could it be the hint given by the owner of the tomb? Or is it related to Guo Pu? "

Cuiniang bravely took a closer look and said, "Look at the words on it."

Sure enough, there was a line of small characters on the wat board. Although I couldn't make out what it meant, 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 his chin with a few beards and shook his head to explain.

Huzi gripped the wat board tightly, and said excitedly, "It seems that only by visiting Guo Pu's tomb can we know the truth. But my younger brother is not talented, but 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, what else can we say? The most urgent thing to delay is to find that tomb. If I guess right, there must be clues to save his life in Guo Pu's tomb. The sound is still dark, and the children and grandchildren are forbidden." It should be the hint of the clues that Guo Pu left for future generations. From the perspective of the following, we can only survive in danger this time."

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 his strange and ingenious skills can be said to be the pinnacle. There is no hope of the scruff of the neck. And 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. The question now is how can we safely walk to the grave you mentioned .What the hell do we have now and how to take the next step.”

Hu Zi looked at everyone present, he 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 remember that you are dead all the time. Wearing a shroud can hide your yang." Qi, can imply that he is dead. But the red belt keeps the true fire of samadhi alive. In addition, there are clay tablets. Although brothers come from all over the world, they are all descendants of China. This clay tablet happens to be seven pieces. Explain that this is God's destiny. We will now sworn brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. 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 spirit this clay tablet has. So I don’t dare to carry more than one person alone. In case the evil spirit accumulates, it will burn my own Samadhi true fire.”

After speaking, he glanced at Feng Luxi and the girl named Qi'er intentionally.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 have the idea of ​​being greedy for life and afraid of death, and abandoning their companions.This is the covenant of seven people, until death.Huzi is to prevent them from having any thoughts of leaving others and fleeing alone.

Blind Mao nodded again and again, and finally said, "Brother Hu is worthy of being a master of the northern sect, but it's like this? 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, didn't say a word afterwards, instead he 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 were all hindered by Kui Liu, who was too old, to refute.While talking, the beggar pressed his own skirt and said, "We can't go together, otherwise the goal is too big, and there are so many Japanese people above, and a group of people may be taken over by the Japanese before they walk fifty miles together. "

Only then did Xia Mao look at this unremarkable girl again. Everyone was thinking about how to avoid the ghosts in the 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 you get bored by the ghost.If you want to die, you can't die in the hands of Japanese ghosts. This is the most basic reservation of these people.And this kind of thought and courage is indeed worthy of Kui Liuye's high regard.So Huzi agreed: "Miss Qi'er is right, I think we are like this, I will take Cui Niang to go, then Kui Liu, you will take Qi'er and Master Mao, as for Liu Fei, please take care of it Feng Luxi. We gathered at the foot of Huanggu Mountain. When I first came out of the hill, I discovered that Guo Pu’s real body was hidden in an underground city. When you see my methods, I will take you brothers to visit Guo Pushui's tomb."

Beggar finished arranging his clothes expressionlessly, then waved the gun in his hand and nodded.Huzi taught them a few tricks to ward off evil spirits, and roughly explained the route.Everyone said goodbye to each other and went on their way.

Then Liu Fei unfortunately got separated from Feng Luxi when he entered Nanjing, but he also kept an eye out and warned Feng Luxi that if he didn't come to meet him, he would be caught no matter where he was, and if he died, he had to find someone to take his things with him before he died.Otherwise, when the time comes, people will let him be a ghost, and it will be ghosts who will make him fly away.Feng Luxi, who was intimidated by this paragraph, nodded repeatedly.

When Lin Xu heard this, he realized that what they encountered was no longer something like a little ghost possessing or a female ghost seeking revenge.And what he saw and heard along the way can be explained with unimaginable.It even involved Guo Pu, a master of Yin-Yang metaphysics in the Jin Dynasty.And the meaning of that poem seems to be very profound.It is not Mao Xiazi and others who can figure out its meaning.For all this, he has no concept at all.At least for now, he still doesn't believe it will be so mysterious.

Just after Liu Fei finished talking about the whole process, he looked at Lin Xu and said, "I have always suspected that some of the people we escaped were not human... One of us is a ghost. The ghost in that tomb. I can't believe them .”

Lin Xu said, "You mean that one of you was dead when you came out? Is it the resurrection of the dead?"

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 mind, as well as the weird deserted villages and ruined temples she took him through.However, he still didn't want to believe it. He said, "Anyway, we need to find other people first. We only have two clay tablets in our hands."

Liu Fei wanted to say something, but he held back in the end, and after that, the sound of the millstone turning came from deep in the ancestral hall.The two turned around in astonishment, and found that it wasn't the millstone, but the big stone that the Yin Army's feathers had moved.

On the back of the stone, there were actually two people pushing the big stone with great difficulty. The stone was too heavy and could only turn very slowly, and made that harsh friction sound.

Liu Fei drew out the throwing knife and motioned for Lin Xu to cover. The two of them had a tacit understanding after looking at each other, and moved towards the boulder. They saw Feng Luxi and Kui Liuye who had separated behind the stone.The faces of these two people were ashen, and their faces and expressions were exactly the same as those of the dead village names.The two of them seemed to be like puppets, completely unconscious.

Just when Liu Fei was about to call out to 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 his ability to be this person might be superior to his, and the throwing knife in his hand was clenched tightly, just at the critical moment.He heard a very soft but calm voice behind him.

"Don't move, don't make a sound."

Liu Fei discovered that the person behind him was actually a beggar, and at the same time, Lin Xu was also stopped by Cuiniang.

Zhou Jue put down the book, they have persisted for a long time, and what is very difficult is that they are all safe and sound.Seeing that nothing strange happened now.But for this group of people who are terrified like frightened birds, nothing is more terrifying than something, because they always feel that strange things will happen in the next second, and they may enter some weird space in the next second , or something unbelievable appears.

So Zhou Jue wiped off his cold sweat and put down the book: "Is there anything wrong?"

Fat San let out a sigh of relief, and said, "It's good, it's good to be fine? Go ahead."

But Chen Hao waved his hand and said, "No, what's wrong with this story."

Zhou Jue really didn't continue.Chen Hao said, "Why did they make that choice?"

Everyone didn't understand why Chen Hao asked the question. Although he encountered many incredible things in the past, he faced all of them with an extremely calm attitude, as if he had guessed everything.But this time he started to panic.

Zhou Jue was also infected by his panic, he asked uneasily, "What's going on? What went wrong?"

That's just teasing cats.Ye Wei, an animal protector who does nothing, said quietly: "Because in terms of analysis, we are now targeting Guo Pu's tomb. But if they finally entered Guo Pu's tomb, why would they be affected? ? And more importantly..."

Zhou Jue frowned. He understood Ye Wei's meaning. If all the accusations in the book were in Guo Pu's tomb, why did Chen Rulan still go to the princess' tomb?According to Chen Rulan's usual style and ability, if she didn't have a clear goal, she would never give up Guo Pufen's big head without any absolute reason, and instead go back to Gongzhufen.Chen Rulan must have chosen to enter Princess Tomb for some reason.

Recalling the content of the story, the whole story is about what happened after Lin Xu met the group of tomb robbers, and now they are sure that the story is not fictional.Both Feng Laojiu and Chen Hao are descendants of those tomb robbers.If there is any fluke idea, then it is stupid and out of the question.And Chen Rulan, this smart woman.She probably wanted to enter the Princess Tomb to get the Soul-fixed Amber and then go to Guo Pu's tomb, but why didn't she succeed?

Lao Jiu, who had been silent all this time, said, "I have to continue reading the book. I don't know if Chen Rulan has finished reading this book. But she didn't go where I was going, and she didn't take Guhunpo away."

The thin monkey said, "What does that poem mean?"

Among these people, Shouhou was the only science student, so that poem seemed to him like he hadn't read it.

Just when Zhou Jue wanted to translate, Fat San became interested, after all, he is also a liberal arts student.He coughed vigorously, and said: "This is actually a five-character poem. The literati in Guo Pu's time were good at writing similar poems. They were mainly influenced by Jian'an style, and most of them were in the form of five-character poems. Han Yuefu folk songs The charm is mostly a sense of desolation and strength..."

The thin monkey said: "Let's get to the point."

Chen Hao glanced at it and said: "The general meaning of this song is that Guo Pu thinks that the world is the most chaotic time now, but he is going to die. And he is the first person to propose underwater burial. So behind the waves Resent Qingyang, Lingu and Yu bandits rest. He pointed out the location of his tomb, which coincided with the tomb of Xuanwu Guo Pu in the text, and revealed his expectations and worries about what happened later. He said that he could still foresee all this after his death. The method of saving future generations is preserved in his own tomb, and the last sentence is a long way to go to the dark, and the combination of yin and yang... In other words, as long as you find the contact method in Guo Pu's tomb, you can end the two kinds of grievances. Here I am My personal understanding is that Guo Pu’s tomb is in the water, so it is Yin, while the Princess Tomb is on land, so I think it is Yang. As long as you enter Guo Pu’s tomb with a clay tablet, he will have a way to solve the crisis for you. And thus end the debt of these two graves."

The thin monkey suddenly realized, he nodded and said: "No wonder, you say it's strange, indeed. This is not a lice on the bald man's head, it's obvious. You should enter Guo Pu's tomb."

Zhou Jue said: "Yes, Chen Rulan probably died in the Princess Tomb, she must have encountered a change."

Fat San suddenly said: "It's very simple, you guys think it's complicated!"

Zhou Jue said, "What do you mean?"

Fat San said a little excitedly: "They must have encountered some mechanism in the Princess Grave, and then they were all wiped out."

Zhou Jue frowned and said, "It's possible, but she gave so much information, and the last tip she gave us was in the ancestral hall of Yinbing Village..."

Chen Hao suddenly said: "It's the order, the order of the clay tablets. There is the order of the clay tablets hanging on the seven-star copper pillar. Rulan knows that the clay tablets are arranged in a certain order, so she must know the original order. And they The ultimate goal should still be Guo Pu's tomb, but I couldn't get there..."

Zhou Jue saw Chen Hao go down again, and immediately changed the topic, he asked Lao Jiu, "Have you seen the order of the clay tablets?"

Lao Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't understand what that thing is at all. I only know that the seven copper pillars are integrated into one, but the pits on them do have different heights."

The thin monkey said, "So we can only go back?"

Fat San said with a guilty conscience: "But, but Chen Rulan explained it there in the end. Still going? Didn't you say it was all oil?"

But Zhou Jue said: "Not necessarily, I think the fire is a bit strange. Do you still remember that in the previous novel, they encountered a flood and then returned to the Seven Star Copper Pillar?"

Lao Jiu said excitedly: "Then what I met, maybe it was a certain ancient formation?"

Zhou Jue smiled awkwardly: "I don't know..."

Suddenly the hotel's phone rang, and everyone was startled by the ringtone.Chen Hao answered the phone and said a few words.He froze for a moment, then hung up the phone.He looked at the others and said, "Mr. Ma wants to see us. He said he has something important to tell us."

Zhou Jue said, "Didn't he say everything he should say? What else can we say?"

Chen Hao said with some hesitation: "Let's go and see it."

Fat San pointed to the book and said, "What should I do?"

Chen Hao said: "Old rules, let's see tomorrow."

The hotel originally belonged to the school, and the old man's house was close to the university.So really, you don't need to take a taxi at all, you can walk there.So the taxi driver took them around a few times, earned a starting price, and drove them off.

The old man belongs to the kind of people who want to learn more than die. He is so serious at a very old age. In addition to his own home, he also rents a one-room apartment next to the university. It is a bit broken, but as long as he can sleep That's it.

But when a group of people went in, they found that the shabby house was like a recycling bin.There are books everywhere, and most of them are old books.There is also a large group of bottles and cans and old boards.

Fortunately, the old man's amateurism is like recycling waste.Chen Hao yelled twice at the door, and Mr. Ma's voice came from the room.Chen Hao led a group of people into the house.They noticed that Mr. Ma's eyes were cloudy, so he asked, "What's your relationship with Guo Pu?"
