Chapter 13 Chapter 12 The Sixth Person
Zhou Jue wanted to push Fat San away to catch the weirdo, but Fat San was too fat, so Zhou Jue couldn't get out after squeezing for a long time.Just when he and Fat San were pushing and shoving, the weirdo had disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Jue looked around in disbelief, and he said to the other three, "Did you see it?"
Fat San asked angrily: "What did you see?"
"That weirdo!"
After Zhou Jue finished speaking, the other three were silent, and he himself couldn't say anything for a while.
Chen Hao looked at Zhou Jue and said, "We didn't see it."
Zhou Jue slipped slowly on the seat, he said, "Maybe you didn't notice..."
Chen Hao picked up the book: "Let me start first."
Zhou Jue didn't try to be brave, he handed the book to Chen Hao, Chen Hao took the book and looked at Zhou Jue worriedly.Zhou Jue's eyes were still looking for the weird man in black in the crowd.
Fat San jumped up suddenly, and he said, "The cat is gone!"
Chen Hao put down the book, Fat San opened the travel bag and said, "The cat is tied up, how could it run away?"
The thin monkey said, "Could it have broken free by itself?"
Fat San couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Do you think it's possible?"
Zhou Jue asked in a spirited manner: "That weird man said that he found it... maybe he took the cat away?"
Fat San rolled his eyes, held back his anger and asked, "How do I get it? Do you think I'm dead?"
Zhou Jue wanted to continue talking, but the thin monkey blocked the two of them, made a silent gesture, and said, "Listen!"
Everyone fell silent, amidst the noisy voices, they vaguely heard a slight meow from the deepest part of the carriage, the voice was mocking the dullness of the four of them.Fat San patted the table and said, "Damn! I really ran away, chase after me!"
Zhou Jue grabbed the impulsive Fat San and said, "No, this sound is wrong... How can a cat meow be so strange, it's not like a cat meowing..."
The thin monkey stared at the carriage and said, "Like a human laugh."
Fat San put down his bag, and said with a guilty conscience: "Is it meowing or people laughing? Why does the more I listen to it, the more panicked I become."
Chen Hao put the book into his backpack and said, "Zhou Jue is right, something came with him."
Zhou Jue continued, "Would you like...to take a look?"
Chen Hao stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."
Zhou Jue said, "I'll go with you."
Fat San took a look at Shouhou, who folded his arms and said, "The car is already driving, none of us can get away, let the second child go and have a look."
Fat San moved his body in embarrassment, and whispered 'I'm sorry' to Zhou Jue, Zhou Jue patted him on the shoulder with a smile.For him, misunderstandings can be explained later, and survival is the most important thing right now.
Zhou Jue and Chen Hao walked in the aisle of the carriage, the aisle was very crowded, and in some places they had to walk sideways.They passed through one car after another, feeling as if every car was exactly the same, with the same passengers and the same crew, and they seemed to be going back and forth in the same car repeatedly, as if they were constantly moving forward, without stopping. ground cycle.
Chen Hao first slowed down, and he turned his head to look at the way he came from. The aisle of the carriage extended into a black spot, and the front was the same.Zhou Jue was sweating profusely as he walked, panting heavily, "What should I do? I didn't see them."
Chen Hao said to Zhou Jue: "Something is wrong, I can't get out."
Zhou Jue replied, "Go back first."
Chen Hao shook his head and said, "Didn't you notice? We've been in the same carriage, and we can't go back."
Zhou Jue began to feel anxious, he breathed rapidly, trying to keep calm.The people around looked normal, some were carrying luggage, some were eating snacks, in short, they were no different from an ordinary carriage.Zhou Jue found that this scene seemed very familiar, but he couldn't find a clue to this familiarity.
Chen Hao looked around and let out a sneer. He stroked his forehead and said, "Stop playing around. If you have time to do such tricks, why don't you talk face to face."
After finishing speaking, the people in the carriage stopped moving immediately, as if time had frozen in an instant, without any sound.Zhou Jue only heard him and Chen Hao panting, and asked softly, "What's going on?"
Chen Hao said to the end of the passage: "If you haven't appeared yet, then don't hinder us from continuing. Playing this kind of trick is too boring. Do you want to repeat the situation five years ago?"
Zhou Jue looked at Chen Hao puzzled when he heard Chen Hao mention five years ago.Chen Hao's emotions were a little agitated, and he seemed to be suppressing his emotions to prevent it from getting out of control.
But there was still no sound, Chen Hao became more and more angry, and he clenched his fists and looked ahead.Finally, a few tiny meows came from the depths of the train, and the sound gradually became clearer, and the meowing became more and more piercing.A person came from the end of the carriage, holding the evil black cat in his arms.
The man is smiling, his eyes are like two black holes.Seeing Chen Hao's reaction, Zhou Jue asked, "Do you know this person?"
Chen Hao said, "I know."
The man said: "Thank you for remembering me, you are more mature than five years ago."
Chen Hao went straight to the point and asked, "Is that cat yours? Are you still investigating that incident?"
The man petted the black cat, and the black cat narrowed its eyes as if enjoying it.He walked up to Chen Hao and the two: "I thought you would come to me, but you chose to go it alone. Do you think you can go further than your sister with a few unworldly students?"
Chen Hao pursed his lips, and Zhou Jue was a little impatient. Just as he was about to speak, the man continued: "I said that this cat is very obsessed with the breath of death. If it doesn't leave you, it means that you are getting closer and closer to death. It's getting closer. Son, don't you understand?"
Zhou Jue looked at him vigilantly, not being irritated by such a low-level provocation, and asked flatly, "Who the hell are you?"
The man's eyes were still fixed on Chen Hao, and he replied, "Me? A Chinese."
Zhou Jue was choked speechless by his answer, Chen Hao said: "He is a magic stick, he specializes in communicating with the dead, he is well-known in their circle, and he is also proficient in the method of avoiding victory."
The man didn't get angry at this sarcastic introduction, but his smile grew stronger.
Zhou Jue looked at Chen Hao in disbelief and said, "Ah? Are you so magical?"
Chen Hao said: "Actually, he is Rulan's friend."
The man's eyes did not blink from the beginning to the end, he smiled and said: "I can feel your rejection of me, but my visit this time is also arranged by Rulan. She asked me to help her. I promised to help her." She won't break her promise."
Chen Hao paused for a moment, but he still couldn't control his emotions. He asked, "Do you know Rulan's whereabouts?"
The man shook his head and said, "No, I don't know."
The man paused and continued, "Because I'm not sure whether she's alive or dead..."
Chen Hao asked eagerly: "Can't you feel her soul?"
After a moment of silence, the man said: "No, I can feel your sister's presence, but it's not a soul, but a kind of message."
Zhou Jue hurriedly said, "Between life and death?"
The man's tangled brows slightly relaxed, and he said, "Your kid and Rulan's way of thinking are very similar. They are both very smart people, and they can understand everything."
Zhou Jue continued: "So, what is your purpose for appearing this time?"
The man said: "I want to join you and become the sixth person."
The two were surprised at the same time, but the man was unmoved.Zhou Jue was the first to react, and immediately said: "No, you are too suspicious. One old nine has already messed us up. If there is another magic stick, our troubles will only get bigger and bigger."
The man smiled and said, "Perhaps it won't be long before you find out that it's just me, a magic stick, who has become your life-saving talisman."
Zhou Jue snorted coldly, "It's up to you?"
Chen Hao stopped Zhou Jue's provocation and asked, "Give me a reason."
The man withdrew his joking expression, and said seriously, "That's all."
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Hao.Chen Hao opened it, and his eyes instantly became shaken. He looked at the man in surprise, and a trace of obscurity flashed in the man's eyes.Zhou Jue saw a clay tablet pattern on the paper. This pattern is very similar to the figure that appears repeatedly in the materials, but it is slightly different.Then the man opened the bag again, revealing a corner of a clay tablet.
Chen Hao returned the paper to the man and said, "Okay, you can join us."
Zhou Jue didn't understand the meaning, and asked, "Brother Chen, why did you agree to him?"
Chen Hao said: "Because even if he doesn't agree, he will still be one of the seven."
Zhou Jue asked, "Has he also read the book?"
The man answered first: "I haven't read the book directly, but owning that thing represents the identity of Seven." After speaking, he looked at Chen Hao, "Am I right?"
Chen Hao didn't answer him, Zhou Jue frowned and said, "Is this the secret you're hiding? Those clay tablets actually have another meaning?"
Chen Hao did not answer his question, but instead asked: "What is your choice?"
Zhou Jue's face was very ugly, he clenched his fists, his eyes could spit fire.He sneered a few times, nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I agree with him joining."
As soon as Zhou Jue finished speaking, he felt that the surroundings suddenly became distorted. Before Zhou Jue and the others recovered from the dizziness, the scene had already changed.People in a hurry shuttled around, with luggage in their hands, and the LCD screen on the wall reported the train schedule and time. It was now 3:50 in the afternoon, and Zhou Jue found that they hadn't boarded the train at all.
Zhou Jue looked around in disbelief, he couldn't find words to describe it for a while.He looked at the still grinning weirdo like he was looking at a magician, Gandalf (the character in the movie "Lord of the Rings") level.
The black cat in the man's hand was gone, replaced by a black travel bag, he stretched out his hand to Zhou Jue and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Wei."
Zhou Jue shook his hand symbolically, and found that his hand was as cold as a piece of ice.Zhou Jue said with a dry smile, "Do you know magic?"
Ye Wei said: "My ancestor was a carpenter, and he is very good at the art of carpenter's disgust."
Zhou Jue didn't continue to ask, the three of them got on the train and came to their seats.Fat San and Thin Monkey were already waiting there. Same as the previous scene, Fat San held the travel bag with the cat hidden in it, and Thin Monkey looked vigilant.
They were very surprised by Ye Wei's arrival, but they didn't have time to ask details, the train was really about to leave this time...
Ye Wei is a standing ticket, so he has no way to sit with Zhou Jue and the others.He stood on the side and looked at these four people, which made Zhou Jue think of him standing on the side in the previous hallucination, and the previous hallucination and the current plot merged together.Ye Wei obviously saw the hostility of the crowd, but just pretended not to notice it at all, and went his own way to make tea with a travel teapot.Fat San looked at Ye Wei at least a dozen times since he got on the train, and Fat San kept winking at Zhou Jue, meaning why did you bring such a strange person here.
Zhou Jue also felt very depressed, but since he chose to continue to believe in Chen Hao, he could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, unable to express his suffering.Fat San knows Zhou Jue very well. Although he doesn't understand, seeing Zhou Jue's expression and eyes, he probably knows that he can't help himself.
The thin monkey is different, he has an indescribable rejection of Ye Wei, when Ye Wei shakes hands with everyone friendly, only the thin monkey does not extend his hand.The way he looked at Ye Wei was not like looking at a person, but like looking at a ghost.
But Ye Wei's performance was very different, he seemed to be very interested in the thin monkey, and even stood by his side cheekily.The car was a little bumpy after driving, Ye Wei politely asked if he could sit with him.
Thin Monkey saw that Fat San and Zhou Jue really couldn't move out of the empty space, so he nodded and squeezed out a seat for him to sit on.When Ye Wei sat down, the thin monkey couldn't feel the heat of the person next to him, as if the person sitting next to him was an inanimate thing.He looked at Ye Wei, Ye Wei smiled and said, "By the way, do you still remember the conversation about the coffin?"
After hearing this, the thin monkey stood up abruptly, and all the passengers around him looked at him, his eyes could almost burst into flames.Ye Wei was still smiling, and said relaxedly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not that weirdo, but I know about that weirdo, do you want to know the details?"
The thin monkey was stunned for a moment, he saw the playful look in Ye Wei's eyes, so he sat down angrily, and only uttered two words: "I don't want to!"
Fat San was also full of resentment towards this person, and he had nowhere to vent his resentment, only shaking his feet vigorously.Zhou Jue's unnatural eyes had already shot at Ye Wei like a dart. Chen Hao saw that everyone had a deep prejudice against this person, and Ye Wei's several actions were also provocative. If it wasn't for his face, Zhou Jue probably Waiting for someone to turn over the table and beat him up.
He hadn't thought about taking care of Ye Wei at all, but it was really inappropriate to quarrel now, so he said, "Don't dawdle, just keep watching."
So the four of them turned their attention to the book.
The figure outside the door didn't seem to have any intention of rushing in. This uneasiness made the three of Lin Xu almost collapse.Liu Fei couldn't bear it any longer, and fired several darts in a row, and flew out of the house with a few swishes, but he didn't see anyone fall down, and he didn't see anyone dodge. He only heard a few crisp metal landing sounds, and the darts unexpectedly landed on the ground .The three of them were horrified, knowing that the person outside the house might not be a human being. Cuiniang stopped Liu Fei's next move, and said softly: "Something's wrong, those people have no entity? Are they ghosts?" Lin Xu's shotgun was loaded at this time, but it was a pity that even such a sharp dart seemed to be thrown into the air, and he was very uncertain. Now he has generally agreed with those weird things, and he is adapting to them as quickly as possible. exist.Lin Xu said to Cuiniang: "No, we will be at a disadvantage if we continue to confront each other like this. It is not a solution for the enemy to be in the dark. Liu Fei and I will go to the door first. If we are in danger, at least we can close the door and block it for a while. , although it is negative, it is better than waiting foolishly like this." Liu Fei nodded, and Cui Niang couldn't refute, so she said softly: "Be careful, if something is wrong, come back quickly." Lin Xu put down the gun in his hand and gave it to Cuiniang. He asked Liu Fei for a dagger, and signaled with his eyes that Liu Fei would go forward with him.The two of them came to the door at the same time, and before they stepped out of the railing, they felt the wind blowing against their faces. At some point, a strange wind blew up with a strong suffocation, making the leaves rustle. Liu Fei said: "Do you think those figures are just tree shadows?" Lin Xu squinted his eyes to see the figures in the dark, and said: "I can't see clearly, these figures are too realistic, they don't really look like tree shadows. I'll go out to see first, you cover me." Liu Fei glanced at him and said, "It's too difficult for me to cover you, but it's easier for you to cover me. Come on, I'll count one, two, three, and I'll rush out. If you see something wrong, close the door. Don't worry about what happens outside." open, understand?" Before Lin Xu objected, Liu Fei rushed out.Lin Xu was shocked by his bold behavior and his heart stopped suddenly. He growled "Liu Fei", but Liu Fei didn't listen at all. He rushed into the darkness, Lin Xu opened his eyes and looked outside. Liu Fei was like a swallow entering the forest at night, without a sound.Lin Xu was so anxious that he finally couldn't wait and rushed out. As soon as he got out of the house, he found that the wind outside was frighteningly strong and the wind was extremely shrill.He couldn't find Liu Fei anywhere, and felt that Liu Fei might be in danger, and he was concerned about the safety of Cui Niang in the house. When he was hesitating, he saw Liu Fei jumping in front of him.Lin Xu was so taken aback that he staggered and almost hit the tree trunk.Liu Fei asked angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Lin Xu frowned, letting go of his worries, but he inevitably got angry, and said with a straight face: "You are too risky. If you die, where can we find someone to replace you?" Seeing that Lin Xu was teaching him a lesson, Liu Fei said sharply: "When will I need you as a soldier to teach me a lesson? Let me tell you, if it wasn't because I had to be together now, I would kill you the first time I saw you." , is it your turn to speak here?" Lin Xu thought to himself that he was indeed a rough and uneducated bandit, and he didn't want to argue with him too much, so he asked under pressure, "Don't talk about this, what did you see just now?" Liu Fei said sternly, "Someone doesn't welcome us here." Lin Xu didn't understand what he meant, so Liu Fei took Lin Xu deep into the forest.They saw that there were many scarecrows in the woods, and these scarecrows without exception had clever mechanisms. As long as someone rolled the roller, these scarecrows would move forward. Because they moved very bumpy, it felt like wobbly. Lin Xu saw that someone deliberately frightened them after they had been doing it for a long time, and the fear in his heart disappeared: "What does this mean?" Liu Fei said: "When I rushed out, I didn't see anyone. Maybe they just pushed the straw man in front of us and left. But I can be sure that this is not a ghost, but someone is playing tricks." Lin Xu said with a smile: "Tricking ghosts means that there are people here, so we can discuss with them. After tonight, let's search carefully and find out where these villagers have gone." Liu Fei said with a smirk on his face: "Do you need it? Burn this place with a torch and see how long they can hold it!" Lin Xu shook his head hurriedly, he said: "Not to mention that setting fire will burn innocent people to death. It is severe winter now, and if there is a strong wind, we may be burned to death together. Your method is too stupid." Liu Fei sneered and said, "Hey, why do you sound like a sour scholar? Then what do you say?" Lin Xu looked at the dark woods around him, and said seriously: "It's the middle of winter, it's freezing cold, and there's no sign of fire or light in the surrounding area except us. So there's only one possibility, they're all hiding underground." Liu Fei thought about it, and then said: "They are all underground, which means there is a secret passage?" Lin Xu said: "It's not surprising. There are many villages digging tunnels to avoid disasters." Liu Fei said, "In your opinion, where will they be?" Lin Xu looked around and said, "It's too difficult to find now. Let's go back and wait until dawn to look around for water sources. There must be a fixed water source in a place where we can stay for a long time, otherwise we will die of thirst if we have food." Liu Fei coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "Don't think that you are the only one who thought of it, I already knew that group of rats were hiding underground, but I have to see your skills occasionally, otherwise you are not qualified to take the place of Brother Hu. " Seeing that he mentioned Huzi, Lin Xu asked, "What do you mean by Brother Hu's position? What role does he play among you?" Liu Fei looked at Lin Xu, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "It would be great if you hadn't met us. It's not what I said. If you met us, you might be worse than death." Lin Xu asked, "What exactly do you mean?" Liu Fei said: "Now I can only say that we were chased by a strange thing. It was Brother Hu who led the seven of us out of that ancient tomb. He was our savior and the leader of this gathering." .Later we discovered that that thing had also been chased out, and then we could only follow the hints in the ancient tomb to come here, but the next step must be a gathering of seven people to know. I don’t know much here.” Lin Xu hurriedly asked: "Then, does Cuiniang know much?" Liu Fei opened his mouth, but finally chose to close it. He took a rare breath of relief, and said helplessly: "Don't ask, that's all I know. This is the end of the matter, and there is no way out. I think you should go with me." Let's go together." Lin Xu felt a little helpless, and the comfort Liu Fei gave him was like scratching the itch, without solving any problems.But there is one thing he figured out by himself, the thing that followed them was brought out from a certain ancient tomb, and it was related to the package. The seven people gathered together helplessly, it should be the thing that chased them. Liu Fei urged Lin Xu to go back quickly. They went back to the broken house. Cuiniang hugged her knees and hid beside the fire. Seeing them coming back, she quickly stood up and asked, "What is it?" Liu Fei spat and said, "What? It's just a bunch of pretenders. Let's catch them after dawn." Cuiniang was still a little worried, Lin Xu told her what he saw, and explained the matter of those people hiding underground. Cuiniang was silent after listening, and she said after a long time: "It seems that there is at least one expert who is very good at mechanism, otherwise such a realistic silhouette is not something ordinary villagers can make." After hearing this, Lin Xu and Liu Fei felt enlightened, and they both said, "That's right, there must be such an expert." Cuiniang said: "Maybe Liu Ye and the others... were scared away by this thing?" Liu Fei shook his head and said, "No, Feng Luxi and Mao Xiazi alone might be scared away, but Kui Liuye is also a well-known figure in the world, how could he be intimidated by figures? What's more, there are beggars like him beside him. The ruthless role is here." Cuiniang nodded in agreement with Liu Fei's point of view. Lin Xu didn't understand who the rest of the people were, and he didn't bother thinking about them anymore. If they didn't die, they would always meet.Lin Xu asked Liu Fei and Cuiniang to take turns to sleep. In this way, nothing strange happened in the second half of the night, and they slept until dawn when the rooster crowed. Liu Fei woke up Lin Xu who was sleeping.Lin Xu found out that Liu Fei had caught two more rabbits, at least he wouldn't have to worry about starving to death with this person, and Liu Fei's craftsmanship was not bad, he was a good cook, at least it was more delicious than Cuiniang's cooking, It's just that if Cui Niang does something, Liu Fei will definitely not be troublesome. Lin Xu stood up with a smile and asked, "Where's Cui Niang?" Liu Fei roasted the rabbit and said: "I went to get water. She said she hasn't washed her hair and face for a long time. I don't think it's okay. At worst, if you encounter a pond, just dip your head in it and shake it. It's over. Women are really troublesome." Lin Xu didn't agree with Liu Fei's point of view, so he didn't answer.Cuiniang found a wooden basin from somewhere, and it didn't leak any water. She came back with a basin of water, saw Lin Xu, and smiled and said, "Brother Lin woke up, come and wash your face. You haven't been doing well these days." We've sorted it out, look at our mess." Seeing Cui Niang fetching water for Lin Xu, Liu Fei didn't even mention a word to him, so he was not very happy and said, "I didn't look at it at first, what's the use of having so much!" Cuiniang stared and said: "What do you mean it's not good-looking? You have not yet grown up, you know what is good-looking or not!" Liu Fei raised his head and looked at Cuiniang angrily, but obviously couldn't stare at her. After watching for a while, he couldn't hold back his momentum, so he raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, grandma, you are the Seven Fairies, it's okay." Cuiniang snorted softly, and stopped talking to Liu Fei, who continued to roast rabbits with a sullen face.Lin Xu intervened: "Miss Cuiniang, don't misunderstand brother Liu, he didn't say what you mean." Cuiniang snorted again, and said ungratefully: "You've only been with him for a long time, so you just help him talk, hmph, forget it, you men always talk about women like this, and you don't even look at your own appearance. " Liu Fei couldn't help hearing it, raised his head and said, "What do you want? Look like Yue Fei? Like Master Guan?" Cuiniang gave him a white look: "At least not like you, if you wear a braid, others will think you are a big girl." Liu Fei threw away the branch and stood up abruptly. Seeing that Liu Fei was really mad, Lin Xu quickly stopped him and said, "Everyone, don't say a few words, it's nothing serious, don't be unhappy about it." Liu Fei turned pale with anger, pointed at Cuiniang for a long time, and finally had to say: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman! I don't hit women!" Cuiniang wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Lin Xu.Just when the three of them said something to each other, Liu Fei suddenly rushed out as if he saw something. Cuiniang and Lin Xu looked at each other and rushed out.They found Liu Fei standing in an open place, staring intently at the surrounding forest.Lin Xu asked, "What did you see?" Liu Fei was in a cold sweat, and his face was as pale as white paper.He didn't answer Lin Xu's question, and soon they heard a scream, and then something was thrown from the forest.The three of them took a closer look and found that it was actually a human hand.Cuiniang shouted: "This is the hand of blind man Mao! He has suffered a disaster!" Lin Xu said, "Why are you so sure?" Liu Fei said coldly, "There is a birthmark of a bat on the tiger's mouth." Lin Xu looked at that hand, as if it had been cut off by some kind of sharp weapon in an instant. The surface of the wound was very clean, and it was impossible to judge how such a wound was formed for a while. Cuiniang said affirmatively: "Mao Xiazi probably has more bad luck than good luck!" Liu Fei said, "Have they arrived? Then where are the others...?" Lin Xu said: "If blind man Mao came here earlier than you, it is hard to say whether he is dead or alive now. We have to find out the whereabouts of other people. Maybe blind man Mao is just missing a hand, and he may not die. " Cuiniang covered her mouth and said, "Tell me, does this matter have something to do with that high-ranking official last night?" Lin Xu looked around and said, "Are you sure that tall man is a human being?" Cuiniang asked, "What do you mean?" Lin Xu pointed to the surroundings and said, "It started to snow in the middle of the night yesterday, and there was a thin layer of frost on the ground. You see, apart from the footprints of the three of us, there was no fourth person found on the ground, so how did this hand come here?" " Lin Xu himself was so frightened by these words that he broke into cold sweat, but he still had to pretend to be calm.Liu Fei looked around vigilantly and said, "Since you're not human anymore, why did you make those things last night? Just to make fun of you?" Lin Xu didn't know how to answer, Cui Niang then asked: "Yeah, since it's a ghost, why do you need to use it as an organ? Also, haven't you found out? Since last night, we haven't seen any villagers in the village. It is reasonable to say that someone should come out to do activities at this time." Hearing this, both Lin Xu and Liu Fei were taken aback.Logically, at this time, at least a few villagers would come out, but apart from the occasional calls of wild birds, not even the crowing of chickens, the whole village seemed to be dead.The more everyone thought about it, the more something went wrong. They all felt that the whole village had changed in one night.Liu Fei rushed out first, he kicked away the nearest farmhouse, and then screamed strangely.When Lin Xu arrived, he found two corpses sitting upright on the stools in the room. Black blood was bleeding from the seven orifices, and there was a very strange expression on the face, and the facial features were almost squeezed together.There was actually a child's body lying on the bed, and it also had this expression.The corpse did not show a struggling posture, but it was no different from normal life. Lin Xu hurriedly stepped forward to examine the corpses, and the conclusion he came to made him even more dumbfounded. He said: "These people have just died. Their muscles are not rigid yet, and they are very elastic." Liu Fei hurried to the next house, kicked open the door, and saw the same corpse with strange expressions and bleeding from the seven orifices. Lin Xu said: "They look like they were poisoned to death. Who on earth poisoned the whole village overnight?" Liu Fei turned his head stiffly and said, "Do you know who I saw just now?" Lin Xu asked, "Who?" Liu Fei said with fear in his eyes: "I saw Brother Hu! He sneered at me very strangely, and then disappeared." Lin Xu immediately retorted: "Impossible, Cui Niang and I saw Brother Hu die with our own eyes, and if he really survived, then he would not avoid us, but would join us." Liu Fei put his hands on his forehead as if recalling a nightmare, and said, "You don't know what we encountered..." Lin Xu grabbed Liu Fei's arm and said, "Of course I don't know what's going on with you guys. What secrets are you keeping from me? It doesn't matter if I die, but I don't want to die in the end." Liu Fei looked up at Lin Xu and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, this village is too weird, and I don't know what happened to Mao Blind and the others, ah! Where did Cuiniang go?" Lin Xu was startled. He only wanted to catch up with Liu Fei before, but he left Cuiniang alone. If the tiger really came back, wouldn't Cuiniang be extremely dangerous? So both of them panicked, they hurried back, the broken house was empty, and Cui Niang was nowhere to be seen.Lin Xu was extremely annoyed, thinking why he was so careless.Liu Fei was also at a loss. The situation, which was not optimistic at first, was almost desperate now. Just when the two of them had completely lost hope, like headless chickens, they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the woods.The two didn't have time to confirm, they rushed out, hoping in their hearts that it was the signal from Cui Niang. Liu Fei dashed into the forest, and Lin Xu followed, but the forest was as quiet as death, and there was no sound, only the rapid and panic breathing of the two.Liu Fei scanned the surroundings, while Lin Xu paid attention to the movement behind them in case they were attacked. Suddenly Liu Fei saw the scarlet belt on Cuiniang's waist on the snow field beside her. The belt was covered with blood, which made the belt even more weird. Liu Fei picked up his belt and said, "Cui Niang is probably dead this time." Lin Xu was filled with fear and anger, but he still calmly said to Liu Fei: "No, I'm afraid I'm not sure yet. Although the blood looks glaring, it's far from causing death, and the belt is not damaged. Finally The main thing is that no body was found, we cannot say she is dead." Liu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think we will be corpses after we die? Didn't you see how Cuiniang handled Huzi's corpse?" Lin Xu was chilled all over by his rhetorical question, and he once again thought of those strange states after Huzi's death.Liu Fei didn't continue, just said: "Look again, if Cuiniang is really dead, it will be even more terrifying if we don't find the body, then we will have to face Cuiniang's zombie in addition to Huzi. " Lin Xu saw that Liu Fei was completely desperate. If he despaired again, they would have no other choice but to die.Lin Xu picked up his belt and said, "Let's go, now is not the time to be discouraged, we have to find the secret passage of this village. If I guess right, there must be one of the seven of us in the tunnel. Whether it is dead or not, at least we must Find them." Liu Fei sighed deeply, but he still stood up and walked into the village with Lin Xu.Lin Xu said to Liu Fei while walking: "We also encountered a strange village when we came here. According to Cui Niang, it was caused by a kind of sorcery. I think this village is different from the barren village, but it also reveals a kind of strangeness. There is an evil spirit. I feel that the two villages may be connected." Liu Fei was absent-minded and didn't pay much attention to Lin Xu's words. He said, "Whether it's magic or not, you have to understand that the seven are companions when they are alive, but as long as they die, they are the number one threat." Lin Xu and Liu Fei checked each room, but found nothing until they found a place similar to an ancestral hall.There was a small courtyard. Liu Fei kicked towards the gate, only to find that the gate was not latched, and it creaked and slowly opened. The two looked at each other, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong here, Lin Xu said in a low voice, "Be careful." Liu Fei took out a dagger from behind and weighed it, and took the lead into the courtyard of the ancestral hall. The yard is not big, it consists of hall, east wing, west wing and a patio.There is no furniture in the west wing, but several large vermilion coffins are parked, and there is no tablet in the hall of the ancestral hall, only a huge stone.This stone looks very ordinary in appearance, no different from the rocks on the surrounding mountains, but the stone is engraved with four big characters "Yin Jun Yu Xi". Lin Xu looked at the stone and analyzed: "This should be a document. Yuxi is something similar to a tiger charm, but it is different from a tiger charm. The tiger charm represents the highest command of an army, while Yuxi means emergency deployment. It’s a piece of ancient troop deployment.” Liu Fei stroked his chin and pondered for a long time, then suddenly he grabbed Lin Xu's arm and said, "It's over, this is the plank road for Yin soldiers!" Liu Fei lost control of his emotions and said: "There is no authentic way at all. We were wrong. This is the plank road of Yin soldiers. It's over."
The figure outside the door didn't seem to have any intention of rushing in. This uneasiness made the three of Lin Xu almost collapse.Liu Fei couldn't bear it any longer, and fired several darts in a row, and flew out of the house with a few swishes, but he didn't see anyone fall down, and he didn't see anyone dodge. He only heard a few crisp metal landing sounds, and the darts unexpectedly landed on the ground .The three of them were horrified, knowing that the person outside the house might not be a human being. Cuiniang stopped Liu Fei's next move, and said softly: "Something's wrong, those people have no entity? Are they ghosts?" Lin Xu's shotgun was loaded at this time, but it was a pity that even such a sharp dart seemed to be thrown into the air, and he was very uncertain. Now he has generally agreed with those weird things, and he is adapting to them as quickly as possible. exist.Lin Xu said to Cuiniang: "No, we will be at a disadvantage if we continue to confront each other like this. It is not a solution for the enemy to be in the dark. Liu Fei and I will go to the door first. If we are in danger, at least we can close the door and block it for a while. , although it is negative, it is better than waiting foolishly like this." Liu Fei nodded, and Cui Niang couldn't refute, so she said softly: "Be careful, if something is wrong, come back quickly." Lin Xu put down the gun in his hand and gave it to Cuiniang. He asked Liu Fei for a dagger, and signaled with his eyes that Liu Fei would go forward with him.The two of them came to the door at the same time, and before they stepped out of the railing, they felt the wind blowing against their faces. At some point, a strange wind blew up with a strong suffocation, making the leaves rustle. Liu Fei said: "Do you think those figures are just tree shadows?" Lin Xu squinted his eyes to see the figures in the dark, and said: "I can't see clearly, these figures are too realistic, they don't really look like tree shadows. I'll go out to see first, you cover me." Liu Fei glanced at him and said, "It's too difficult for me to cover you, but it's easier for you to cover me. Come on, I'll count one, two, three, and I'll rush out. If you see something wrong, close the door. Don't worry about what happens outside." open, understand?" Before Lin Xu objected, Liu Fei rushed out.Lin Xu was shocked by his bold behavior and his heart stopped suddenly. He growled "Liu Fei", but Liu Fei didn't listen at all. He rushed into the darkness, Lin Xu opened his eyes and looked outside. Liu Fei was like a swallow entering the forest at night, without a sound.Lin Xu was so anxious that he finally couldn't wait and rushed out. As soon as he got out of the house, he found that the wind outside was frighteningly strong and the wind was extremely shrill.He couldn't find Liu Fei anywhere, and felt that Liu Fei might be in danger, and he was concerned about the safety of Cui Niang in the house. When he was hesitating, he saw Liu Fei jumping in front of him.Lin Xu was so taken aback that he staggered and almost hit the tree trunk.Liu Fei asked angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to follow?" Lin Xu frowned, letting go of his worries, but he inevitably got angry, and said with a straight face: "You are too risky. If you die, where can we find someone to replace you?" Seeing that Lin Xu was teaching him a lesson, Liu Fei said sharply: "When will I need you as a soldier to teach me a lesson? Let me tell you, if it wasn't because I had to be together now, I would kill you the first time I saw you." , is it your turn to speak here?" Lin Xu thought to himself that he was indeed a rough and uneducated bandit, and he didn't want to argue with him too much, so he asked under pressure, "Don't talk about this, what did you see just now?" Liu Fei said sternly, "Someone doesn't welcome us here." Lin Xu didn't understand what he meant, so Liu Fei took Lin Xu deep into the forest.They saw that there were many scarecrows in the woods, and these scarecrows without exception had clever mechanisms. As long as someone rolled the roller, these scarecrows would move forward. Because they moved very bumpy, it felt like wobbly. Lin Xu saw that someone deliberately frightened them after they had been doing it for a long time, and the fear in his heart disappeared: "What does this mean?" Liu Fei said: "When I rushed out, I didn't see anyone. Maybe they just pushed the straw man in front of us and left. But I can be sure that this is not a ghost, but someone is playing tricks." Lin Xu said with a smile: "Tricking ghosts means that there are people here, so we can discuss with them. After tonight, let's search carefully and find out where these villagers have gone." Liu Fei said with a smirk on his face: "Do you need it? Burn this place with a torch and see how long they can hold it!" Lin Xu shook his head hurriedly, he said: "Not to mention that setting fire will burn innocent people to death. It is severe winter now, and if there is a strong wind, we may be burned to death together. Your method is too stupid." Liu Fei sneered and said, "Hey, why do you sound like a sour scholar? Then what do you say?" Lin Xu looked at the dark woods around him, and said seriously: "It's the middle of winter, it's freezing cold, and there's no sign of fire or light in the surrounding area except us. So there's only one possibility, they're all hiding underground." Liu Fei thought about it, and then said: "They are all underground, which means there is a secret passage?" Lin Xu said: "It's not surprising. There are many villages digging tunnels to avoid disasters." Liu Fei said, "In your opinion, where will they be?" Lin Xu looked around and said, "It's too difficult to find now. Let's go back and wait until dawn to look around for water sources. There must be a fixed water source in a place where we can stay for a long time, otherwise we will die of thirst if we have food." Liu Fei coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "Don't think that you are the only one who thought of it, I already knew that group of rats were hiding underground, but I have to see your skills occasionally, otherwise you are not qualified to take the place of Brother Hu. " Seeing that he mentioned Huzi, Lin Xu asked, "What do you mean by Brother Hu's position? What role does he play among you?" Liu Fei looked at Lin Xu, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "It would be great if you hadn't met us. It's not what I said. If you met us, you might be worse than death." Lin Xu asked, "What exactly do you mean?" Liu Fei said: "Now I can only say that we were chased by a strange thing. It was Brother Hu who led the seven of us out of that ancient tomb. He was our savior and the leader of this gathering." .Later we discovered that that thing had also been chased out, and then we could only follow the hints in the ancient tomb to come here, but the next step must be a gathering of seven people to know. I don’t know much here.” Lin Xu hurriedly asked: "Then, does Cuiniang know much?" Liu Fei opened his mouth, but finally chose to close it. He took a rare breath of relief, and said helplessly: "Don't ask, that's all I know. This is the end of the matter, and there is no way out. I think you should go with me." Let's go together." Lin Xu felt a little helpless, and the comfort Liu Fei gave him was like scratching the itch, without solving any problems.But there is one thing he figured out by himself, the thing that followed them was brought out from a certain ancient tomb, and it was related to the package. The seven people gathered together helplessly, it should be the thing that chased them. Liu Fei urged Lin Xu to go back quickly. They went back to the broken house. Cuiniang hugged her knees and hid beside the fire. Seeing them coming back, she quickly stood up and asked, "What is it?" Liu Fei spat and said, "What? It's just a bunch of pretenders. Let's catch them after dawn." Cuiniang was still a little worried, Lin Xu told her what he saw, and explained the matter of those people hiding underground. Cuiniang was silent after listening, and she said after a long time: "It seems that there is at least one expert who is very good at mechanism, otherwise such a realistic silhouette is not something ordinary villagers can make." After hearing this, Lin Xu and Liu Fei felt enlightened, and they both said, "That's right, there must be such an expert." Cuiniang said: "Maybe Liu Ye and the others... were scared away by this thing?" Liu Fei shook his head and said, "No, Feng Luxi and Mao Xiazi alone might be scared away, but Kui Liuye is also a well-known figure in the world, how could he be intimidated by figures? What's more, there are beggars like him beside him. The ruthless role is here." Cuiniang nodded in agreement with Liu Fei's point of view. Lin Xu didn't understand who the rest of the people were, and he didn't bother thinking about them anymore. If they didn't die, they would always meet.Lin Xu asked Liu Fei and Cuiniang to take turns to sleep. In this way, nothing strange happened in the second half of the night, and they slept until dawn when the rooster crowed. Liu Fei woke up Lin Xu who was sleeping.Lin Xu found out that Liu Fei had caught two more rabbits, at least he wouldn't have to worry about starving to death with this person, and Liu Fei's craftsmanship was not bad, he was a good cook, at least it was more delicious than Cuiniang's cooking, It's just that if Cui Niang does something, Liu Fei will definitely not be troublesome. Lin Xu stood up with a smile and asked, "Where's Cui Niang?" Liu Fei roasted the rabbit and said: "I went to get water. She said she hasn't washed her hair and face for a long time. I don't think it's okay. At worst, if you encounter a pond, just dip your head in it and shake it. It's over. Women are really troublesome." Lin Xu didn't agree with Liu Fei's point of view, so he didn't answer.Cuiniang found a wooden basin from somewhere, and it didn't leak any water. She came back with a basin of water, saw Lin Xu, and smiled and said, "Brother Lin woke up, come and wash your face. You haven't been doing well these days." We've sorted it out, look at our mess." Seeing Cui Niang fetching water for Lin Xu, Liu Fei didn't even mention a word to him, so he was not very happy and said, "I didn't look at it at first, what's the use of having so much!" Cuiniang stared and said: "What do you mean it's not good-looking? You have not yet grown up, you know what is good-looking or not!" Liu Fei raised his head and looked at Cuiniang angrily, but obviously couldn't stare at her. After watching for a while, he couldn't hold back his momentum, so he raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay, grandma, you are the Seven Fairies, it's okay." Cuiniang snorted softly, and stopped talking to Liu Fei, who continued to roast rabbits with a sullen face.Lin Xu intervened: "Miss Cuiniang, don't misunderstand brother Liu, he didn't say what you mean." Cuiniang snorted again, and said ungratefully: "You've only been with him for a long time, so you just help him talk, hmph, forget it, you men always talk about women like this, and you don't even look at your own appearance. " Liu Fei couldn't help hearing it, raised his head and said, "What do you want? Look like Yue Fei? Like Master Guan?" Cuiniang gave him a white look: "At least not like you, if you wear a braid, others will think you are a big girl." Liu Fei threw away the branch and stood up abruptly. Seeing that Liu Fei was really mad, Lin Xu quickly stopped him and said, "Everyone, don't say a few words, it's nothing serious, don't be unhappy about it." Liu Fei turned pale with anger, pointed at Cuiniang for a long time, and finally had to say: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman! I don't hit women!" Cuiniang wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by Lin Xu.Just when the three of them said something to each other, Liu Fei suddenly rushed out as if he saw something. Cuiniang and Lin Xu looked at each other and rushed out.They found Liu Fei standing in an open place, staring intently at the surrounding forest.Lin Xu asked, "What did you see?" Liu Fei was in a cold sweat, and his face was as pale as white paper.He didn't answer Lin Xu's question, and soon they heard a scream, and then something was thrown from the forest.The three of them took a closer look and found that it was actually a human hand.Cuiniang shouted: "This is the hand of blind man Mao! He has suffered a disaster!" Lin Xu said, "Why are you so sure?" Liu Fei said coldly, "There is a birthmark of a bat on the tiger's mouth." Lin Xu looked at that hand, as if it had been cut off by some kind of sharp weapon in an instant. The surface of the wound was very clean, and it was impossible to judge how such a wound was formed for a while. Cuiniang said affirmatively: "Mao Xiazi probably has more bad luck than good luck!" Liu Fei said, "Have they arrived? Then where are the others...?" Lin Xu said: "If blind man Mao came here earlier than you, it is hard to say whether he is dead or alive now. We have to find out the whereabouts of other people. Maybe blind man Mao is just missing a hand, and he may not die. " Cuiniang covered her mouth and said, "Tell me, does this matter have something to do with that high-ranking official last night?" Lin Xu looked around and said, "Are you sure that tall man is a human being?" Cuiniang asked, "What do you mean?" Lin Xu pointed to the surroundings and said, "It started to snow in the middle of the night yesterday, and there was a thin layer of frost on the ground. You see, apart from the footprints of the three of us, there was no fourth person found on the ground, so how did this hand come here?" " Lin Xu himself was so frightened by these words that he broke into cold sweat, but he still had to pretend to be calm.Liu Fei looked around vigilantly and said, "Since you're not human anymore, why did you make those things last night? Just to make fun of you?" Lin Xu didn't know how to answer, Cui Niang then asked: "Yeah, since it's a ghost, why do you need to use it as an organ? Also, haven't you found out? Since last night, we haven't seen any villagers in the village. It is reasonable to say that someone should come out to do activities at this time." Hearing this, both Lin Xu and Liu Fei were taken aback.Logically, at this time, at least a few villagers would come out, but apart from the occasional calls of wild birds, not even the crowing of chickens, the whole village seemed to be dead.The more everyone thought about it, the more something went wrong. They all felt that the whole village had changed in one night.Liu Fei rushed out first, he kicked away the nearest farmhouse, and then screamed strangely.When Lin Xu arrived, he found two corpses sitting upright on the stools in the room. Black blood was bleeding from the seven orifices, and there was a very strange expression on the face, and the facial features were almost squeezed together.There was actually a child's body lying on the bed, and it also had this expression.The corpse did not show a struggling posture, but it was no different from normal life. Lin Xu hurriedly stepped forward to examine the corpses, and the conclusion he came to made him even more dumbfounded. He said: "These people have just died. Their muscles are not rigid yet, and they are very elastic." Liu Fei hurried to the next house, kicked open the door, and saw the same corpse with strange expressions and bleeding from the seven orifices. Lin Xu said: "They look like they were poisoned to death. Who on earth poisoned the whole village overnight?" Liu Fei turned his head stiffly and said, "Do you know who I saw just now?" Lin Xu asked, "Who?" Liu Fei said with fear in his eyes: "I saw Brother Hu! He sneered at me very strangely, and then disappeared." Lin Xu immediately retorted: "Impossible, Cui Niang and I saw Brother Hu die with our own eyes, and if he really survived, then he would not avoid us, but would join us." Liu Fei put his hands on his forehead as if recalling a nightmare, and said, "You don't know what we encountered..." Lin Xu grabbed Liu Fei's arm and said, "Of course I don't know what's going on with you guys. What secrets are you keeping from me? It doesn't matter if I die, but I don't want to die in the end." Liu Fei looked up at Lin Xu and said, "It's not convenient to talk here, this village is too weird, and I don't know what happened to Mao Blind and the others, ah! Where did Cuiniang go?" Lin Xu was startled. He only wanted to catch up with Liu Fei before, but he left Cuiniang alone. If the tiger really came back, wouldn't Cuiniang be extremely dangerous? So both of them panicked, they hurried back, the broken house was empty, and Cui Niang was nowhere to be seen.Lin Xu was extremely annoyed, thinking why he was so careless.Liu Fei was also at a loss. The situation, which was not optimistic at first, was almost desperate now. Just when the two of them had completely lost hope, like headless chickens, they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the woods.The two didn't have time to confirm, they rushed out, hoping in their hearts that it was the signal from Cui Niang. Liu Fei dashed into the forest, and Lin Xu followed, but the forest was as quiet as death, and there was no sound, only the rapid and panic breathing of the two.Liu Fei scanned the surroundings, while Lin Xu paid attention to the movement behind them in case they were attacked. Suddenly Liu Fei saw the scarlet belt on Cuiniang's waist on the snow field beside her. The belt was covered with blood, which made the belt even more weird. Liu Fei picked up his belt and said, "Cui Niang is probably dead this time." Lin Xu was filled with fear and anger, but he still calmly said to Liu Fei: "No, I'm afraid I'm not sure yet. Although the blood looks glaring, it's far from causing death, and the belt is not damaged. Finally The main thing is that no body was found, we cannot say she is dead." Liu Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think we will be corpses after we die? Didn't you see how Cuiniang handled Huzi's corpse?" Lin Xu was chilled all over by his rhetorical question, and he once again thought of those strange states after Huzi's death.Liu Fei didn't continue, just said: "Look again, if Cuiniang is really dead, it will be even more terrifying if we don't find the body, then we will have to face Cuiniang's zombie in addition to Huzi. " Lin Xu saw that Liu Fei was completely desperate. If he despaired again, they would have no other choice but to die.Lin Xu picked up his belt and said, "Let's go, now is not the time to be discouraged, we have to find the secret passage of this village. If I guess right, there must be one of the seven of us in the tunnel. Whether it is dead or not, at least we must Find them." Liu Fei sighed deeply, but he still stood up and walked into the village with Lin Xu.Lin Xu said to Liu Fei while walking: "We also encountered a strange village when we came here. According to Cui Niang, it was caused by a kind of sorcery. I think this village is different from the barren village, but it also reveals a kind of strangeness. There is an evil spirit. I feel that the two villages may be connected." Liu Fei was absent-minded and didn't pay much attention to Lin Xu's words.
