I'm a god in the infinite game

The red lantern was hung on the inner wall of the low tomb passage, and was swayed left and right by the hot and humid wind blowing from inside. The bright red light swayed back and forth on the damp wall with the lantern, reflecting many figures of different heights on the wall. The shadow shines on the wall like a shadow play.

The movements of these shadows were stiff and dull, and they seemed to be talking with each other with their heads and ears stretched out. They made the kind of words and footsteps that Bai Liu had just heard distant and vague. They changed positions with the flickering of the lights, and walked into the main tomb.

On both sides of the entrance of the main tomb, under the reflection of the lanterns, there are two bowed shadows respectfully standing on the left and right, as if they are welcoming the guests. The upper part turned around flexibly, as if looking at the person at the entrance, or the shadow.

A gap slowly opened at the shadow's lips, and the strange and sharp voice came out from the wall again:

"There are two guests coming to congratulate you, please enter the main hall!"

But there are so many shadows on the wall, but there is no one in the tomb, only the faint red light is shaking, and the shadows on the wall are becoming clearer and clearer as they keep changing their movements and shapes as they walk in. .

After the two welcome shadows at the entrance urged her twice, Bai Liu still didn't move, her crescent-shaped smiling eyes went up and down, and her laughing mouth retracted and disappeared, leaving only two red holes Her eyes stared at Bai Liu with a circle of light.

The shadow's foot that was originally standing on the wall sank by half, and bent to the ground strangely, getting closer to the place where Bai Liu was standing. It urged the third time in a shrill voice:

"There are two guests, please come in."

Bai Liu lowered her eyes and walked in, followed closely by Mu Sicheng.

The two shadows guarding the entrance put their hands in their hands, bowed half of their body, turned their eyes and watched Bai Liu enter the tomb passage, and the mouth slowly opened a huge arc:

"The honored guest is here, the guest of honor welcomes the guest!"

As soon as Bai Liu walked into the tomb passage, the walking steps and noisy conversations of the shadows on both sides of the tomb passage stopped instantly, and these shadows stood still, silently watching Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng who came in with red eyes.

These shadows are big and small, and have different shapes. There are women with hair buns and little girls with double braids, old men with hunchbacks holding crutches, and middle-aged men in short mandarin jackets, all standing silently. Inside the wall, staring at Bai Liu as she walked slowly into the main tomb.

Mu Sicheng's scalp was numb, he approached Bai Liu, and asked in a low voice: "What are these shadows? Didn't you say that only living people have shadows in the underworld?"

"Living people can cast shadows in the underworld, but not only living people can cast shadows in the underworld." Bai Liu walked into the main tomb without looking sideways.

"Shadow is a kind of image that is printed on the real object by light after the three souls and seven souls of people gather together. The essence of the shadow is the same as that of us reflected in the mirror. Therefore, both folk and Taoism have ghosts without shadows. Ghosts The saying about the mirror cannot be printed, because the three souls and seven souls of ghosts are incomplete."

"There is form but no shadow, it is transformed by the soul, there is shadow but no form, it is transformed by the soul."

Bai Liu glanced at the shadows on the wall from the corner of his eye: "These shadows should be the souls of the people of Yinshan Village who died but were trapped here and could never survive."

Mu Sicheng looked around at these shadows, and shivered: "...so these shadows are just ghosts, and compared to the ghost zombies outside, they are not harmful, right?"

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze: ""Maoshan Sorcery" describes, [The soul of a person is kind but evil, and the soul of a person is smart but stupid... If the soul is there, it is the person; if the soul is gone, it is not the person."

"Moving the dead and moving the shadows of the world is done by the soul, and only the people of the Tao can control the soul. (Note 1)"

Mu Sicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "...What do you mean by that?"

Bai Liu simply explained: "It means that the soul is kind, the po is evil, the soul is alive, and the po is ignorant."

"With a soul, this ghost can still be called a thing with human nature, but once the soul completely dissipates, this ghost has no humanity at all. The most powerful ghosts in the world are all ghosts, only Taoism Only a profound person can punish soul."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help complaining: "Isn't it?! As for those soul-like dead bridge ghost zombies outside, they are still kind and human?!"

Bai Liu replied calmly: "Compared to Po, it is indeed."

The red light of the lanterns in the tomb passage became more and more intense. At some point, Mu Sicheng noticed that the shadows on both sides began to move slowly. Their eyes reflected by the red light stared at Bai Liu without moving. UFO unreal.

The shadow's mouth was split with red slits of different sizes, and they were sticking to each other and whispering, their voices were very vague, as if they were listening to the neighbor next door whispering through a wall, secretive and noisy.

Mu Sicheng couldn't hear what they were saying at all, but it was definitely not a good word, because the sight of these shadows looking at them made Mu Sicheng feel a lingering malice.

Just when Mu Sicheng looked at these shadows, the back of his neck felt chills, and he frowned and asked in a daze: "Are these shadows getting shorter and shorter?"

Bai Liu pulled Mu Sicheng to make Mu Sicheng walk directly behind him.

"Pay attention to your feet." Bai Liu reminded lightly, "These souls are trapped in the wall as shadows, and they haven't attacked us now, so they shouldn't be able to break away from the wall and attack us actively, but their shadows can touch our shadows. "

Mu Sicheng lowered his head subconsciously, and was horrified to find that at some point, the feet of these shadows had slowly slipped from the wall to the ground, and they were getting closer and closer to their shadows.

No wonder he just saw these shadows getting shorter and shorter! !

The shadows on the wall seem to know that they have been found to be approaching conspiracy, they all opened their mouths and smiled, and the almost identical smiles and red lips appeared on different shadows of men, women, old and young at the same time, accompanied by laughter from different voice lines. came out from the wall.

Mu Sicheng was so frightened that he immediately started walking in a straight line behind Bai Liu, trying to keep his shadow in the center and away from these souls.

Bai Liu glanced sideways at Mu Sicheng's shadow on the ground from the corner of his eye, and it was so faint that he could barely see it.

There is no shadow, which means that Mu Sicheng's soul is about to be separated now, so there will be no shadow.

And Mu Sicheng here has human nature but no shadow, so Mu Sicheng here is a soul, so what stays in Mu Sicheng's body, it goes without saying, is naturally soul.

Po is not human, only vicious.

Things have become a little bit troublesome. Things like soul can only be subdued by righteous methods, but there is no righteous method for Bailiu, only evil methods.

We can only take one step at a time.

Bai Liu walked to the end of the tomb passage, and pushed open a narrow faded red double wooden door.

The shadows on the wall looked at Bai Liu with the salivating gaze that made the scalp tense, while complimenting each other and laughing, they entered the wooden door.

Bai Liu also led Mu Sicheng into the wooden door.

As soon as you enter the wooden door, the scene of the always low tomb suddenly becomes brighter. The height of the top of the tomb is several times higher than before. It seems to be as high as two or three floors. The decoration of the main tomb is imitated from the main hall of the old mansion. Red candles, white candles and lanterns are lit everywhere, which can almost be called brightly lit.

The shadows that filed in were wandering around on the wall. There were many scenes of banqueting guests painted on the wall, chatting with the shadows, and the voices of laughing and slapstick appropriately echoed. Of course, if these shadows did not stare straight at Bai Liu saw that he would bless this lively banquet more sincerely.

Facing the wooden door, seven Eight Immortals Tables were placed in a certain order. The Eight Immortals Tables were covered with thick dust, but you could vaguely see the strange gossip patterns on the Eight Immortals Tables. The legs of the Eight Immortals Tables were nailed to the ground with golden nails. move.

Surrounding the Eight Immortals table are not tables, chairs and benches, but vertical coffins. These coffins have been opened, leaving only an empty coffin box, and the coffin lids are randomly piled up on the ground. , The coffin is still wrapped with red thread.

The inside of the coffin was very decayed, and water was still dripping down. A bronze mirror was inlaid on the head, which was similar to the bride's coffin that Bai Liu had seen in the temple before.

Bai Liu stepped forward, walked around these coffins, knelt down and carefully stroked the red line on the lid of the coffin: "There is no ash on the fracture, it was just torn off, the corpse inside should not have gone far .”

Then Bai Liu stood up, walked around these coffins one by one, and counted softly: "1, 2...33."

"There are only 33 empty coffins." Bai Liu looked around, "16 are missing."

Mu Sicheng stood far away. He panicked when he saw these coffins, and he didn't want to approach them at all: "How do you know that there are 16 missing?"

"This should be a formation with seven as the extreme number." Bai Liu pointed to the seven tables of the Eight Immortals, "The zombies driven by paper figurines, the ghosts on the bridge, and the coffins we guard in the temple are all seven. , according to this rule, there should be seven coffins corresponding to each Eight Immortals table here."

"It can also be seen from the ash on the ground." Bai Liu motioned Mu Sicheng to look at the ground, "The ash on these places is not heavy, and there are traces of dragging. It should have been placed in the coffin."

"These 16 coffins should have been carried out by the ghosts we met on the road."

Bai Liu was thoughtful: "But these ghosts were originally formed because of the owner of the tomb, and they should only obey the orders of the owner of the tomb, and this formation should have been arranged by the owner of the tomb a hundred years ago."

"Why does the owner of the tomb want these ghosts to move the bride's coffins out of the tomb a hundred years later, destroying the formation he painstakingly arranged a hundred years ago?"

Bai Liu drooped his eyes and rubbed the dust on his hands: "It's obviously only one step away, he can gather Yin Qi, train himself into a peerless Yin corpse, and be born."
