Chapter 439: Only One Death
The backyard of the cemetery is not small, except for the cemetery office and staff lounge, the rest are antique large open rooms. According to local customs, this piece is called "Stopping Lingya", and the ashes of the deceased are stored in it, waiting for the winter solstice to be buried.
Because there was no burial, at most it was to worship when it was delivered, and compared with the lively scene outside, it was a bit quiet here.
Entering the arch and going to the right, it happened to be the "Stopping Soul Elegant Place" in the three major rooms, and the four people came to the door, looked around for a while, and found an inconspicuous place to wait.
These four people are Zeng Yifan, Tang Yi, Xiao Lang and Mo Rufeng who were specially found.
"Is he really going to die here?" Mo Rufeng asked, "I'm still a little skeptical. β
He asked Tang Yi, who had a conversation with Gu Bulai just now. Tang Yi didn't answer his question, and turned to the side, where Zeng Yifan and Xiao Lang were standing
"Only if you die will solve the problem." Tang Yi's voice was hoarse, but it was quite thick, "Only he can let you die a well-deserved death." β
"Death is only a temporary solution." Xiao Lang helped the frame of the glasses, "What's more, he may not be able to die." β
"It's best to die." Zeng Yifan raised his head and looked like he was in the middle of life and death, "It's a hundred times if you're dead." β
At this moment, the door of the "Stopping Soul Elegant Place" in the north slowly opened, Gu Bulai leaned out, and then beckoned, Tang Yi saw it, and immediately beckoned the three of them to go over and flashed into the room.
The room is bigger than it looks from the outside, with rows of tall cabinets neatly arranged, and it would be easy to mistake it for a library or archive if it weren't for the urns that could be seen through the glass of the doors.
Gu Bulai led the four of them straight inside, stopping behind the innermost row of cabinets.
"Tell me, who are you going to bury?" Gu Bulai said this to Tang Yi, but his eyes looked at the other three, "What do you want to die like?" β
"I'm the one who wants to bury me." Zeng Yifan took the initiative to stand up, "The more miserable the death, the better, and the violent death is all done." β
Gu Bulai glanced at him coldly, shook his body, and came face to face with him directly, and then grabbed Zeng Yifan's two arms with both hands, followed by a twist, and made him turn in a circle, and pinched his palms all the way along his shoulders to his waist.
"Evil qi possesses the body, and the six doors are all closed?!" Gu Bulai's thick eyebrows were twisted into commas, and he turned his face to Tang Yi and said.
"What, can't you bury it?" Zeng Yifan raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, Gu Bulai, who had been twisting his eyebrows, turned green on his face: "Joke, as long as it's a living person, there is nothing I can't bury." β
As he spoke, he turned and walked to the back of the innermost row of cabinets, raised his hand and pulled at the ground, and a very cleverly camouflaged floor flap was lifted, revealing a one-meter square hole.
"Let's go down." Gu Bulai pointed to the entrance of the cave and said to everyone, "I'll bury him." β
There is a staircase made of solid earth at the entrance of the cave, and after walking down a few steps, I found that there is a very long one, in the shape of a whirlwind, everyone climbs the steps down, and the last one to follow is not to come, and the floor is closed intact.
The cave was suddenly dark, but Tang Yi, who was walking in front, did not stop, taking care of himself and exploring the way first, Zeng Yifan and the others followed behind him slowly, and Gu Bulai followed slowly at the end.
There are hundreds of stairs under your feet, but every time you stretch out your feet, they are still stairs, and it seems that you are always walking on the stairs, unable to touch the flat ground. The surrounding air was filled with a fishy smell of earth, and the temperature felt on the surface of the body was much lower, so it seemed that this hole was not ordinary deep.
After walking like this for about half an hour, everyone finally stepped on a flat ground.
Boom, Zeng Yifan couldn't help but polish the lighter, and before he could see the surrounding environment clearly, a gust of wind came from behind him, and the flame of the lighter was extinguished with a snort.
"When you get to my land, you have to do according to my rules." Gu Bulai's voice was even more dull in the cave, "Don't see fire until you get there, not at all!" β
There was a majesty in his voice, Zeng Yifan grinned when he heard it, thinking that this old man's rules were really special, could it be that this was a coal mine before, and there was gas underground? But after thinking about it, the fire belongs to the five elements, and this is under the soil, maybe there is another mystery.
Since he is still "not in the place", that is, he wants to continue to move forward, Zeng Yifan secretly speculated in his heart, he didn't pay much attention to his feet, just took a few steps, clicked, seemed to have stepped on something, fell under his feet, and stumbled.
"Well, be careful, they're miserable." Gu Bulai said with a smile in his voice, and his voice was slightly weird, "You'll need their help in a moment." β
Zeng Yifan didn't figure it out, what are "they"? What I stepped on just now looked like pottery rubble or something, but it seemed to be a little brittle.
"How did you find here?" Tang Yi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and asked thoughtlessly.
"Since I am the 'king of Hades', I have a better relationship with the dead." Gu Bulai said lightly, "It's not difficult to find this place. β
As soon as they asked and answered, Zeng Yifan's scalp next to him began to explode, most of what he stepped on just now was that thing, I can't figure it out......
"Twelve more steps forward until you enter the cave on the left, and everyone stands against the cave wall." Gu Bu looked at the hands on the luminous dial, "It's not early, and there's still a lot of work." β
According to Gu Bulai's instructions, the people continued to walk, and after walking about twelve steps, they touched a hole in the earthen wall. After Zeng Yifan and the others walked in, they stood along the cave wall one by one, but they didn't see Gu coming into the cave.
Boom, boom, a clear sound came from under the feet of the crowd; Boom, boom, a similar sound came from outside the cave.
The sound is not difficult to distinguish, it should be the sound of gas rushing out of a pipe or vessel, but what gas will be in this hole? Soon, the temperature around him rose, and the cave was as hot as dog days. Could it be that Gu Bulai did something to do? But the air in the cave was much fresher, and it didn't feel like it was underground at all.
Zeng Yifan subconsciously looked at Tang Yi beside him, and saw that he didn't move, he looked very calm, and seemed to be very relieved of Gu Bulai's actions. Xiao Lang and Mo Rufeng didn't move, but their eyes were staring at the feet in front of them, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange.
No, Zeng Yifan suddenly came back to his senses, he couldn't see his five fingers in the cave, and he basically walked by touching, but now even Tang Yi's expressions could be seen very clearly.
It turned out that at some point, there was light in the cave, not very bright, but enough to see everything. The light was quite soft, and it was so quiet that Zeng Yifan didn't react for a while.
As the temperature rose, the cave became brighter and brighter, and the place they were in was a twenty-square-meter earth cave, and the light source came from the underground around the cave wall and in front of them, and the color was slightly green, which looked very strange on everyone's faces.
However, what is even more strange is still in front of them, Zeng Yifan and Mo Rufeng couldn't believe whether what they saw was real, even the well-informed Xiao Lang next to him was stunned at the moment.
Facing the faint green light, Gu Bulai appeared at the entrance of the cave, holding a strange small shovel in his hand.
"Zeng Yifan, you can die." He smiled grimly.
I don't know the depth of the hole, the weird green light, the weird and gloomy old man, all this looks a bit like the scene of a third-rate horror movie, if you just see these on the screen, Zeng Yifan will definitely not feel anything.
But now he was there, not to mention that there was a big pit not far from his toes that made him hairy.
In fact, not only the big pit, but the entire cave was full of things that made Zeng Yifan unhappy.
Bones, bones of all kinds, and these bones obviously belonged to humans, but for some reason they were scattered and separated, and they were embedded in the walls of the cavern.
Of course, there are not the most bones on the cave wall, and there are more in the big pit in front of you. Zeng Yifan probably understood the source of the green light in the cave, which was the phosphorescent light emitted by the bones.
He didn't know what method Gu Bulai used to raise the temperature in the cave, but it was related to the sound of the air current, and the air must have been mixed with a large amount of oxygen, otherwise the phosphorus fire in those bones would not have shone so quickly.
But why did he go to such great lengths to light it with a fire? Maybe it has something to do with the ban on fire here......
"Let's go inside." Gu Bulai pointed to the big pit that made Zeng Yifan creepy, "I have to bury you quickly." β
Get in? Zeng Yifan looked at the bones in the pit and almost choked on saliva. If you really want to go there, you don't need to bother Gu Bu to bury it by hand, Zeng Yifan himself will hang up directly.
"Enter...... Where to go? Zeng Yifan scratched his head, "You don't plan to bury me with bones, do you?" β
"Haha, a feng shui master, a diviner, is still afraid of bones?!" Gu Bulai laughed out loud.
Who says that a feng shui master must not be afraid of the dead? I'm really not afraid of one or two, there are so many keys......
Besides, Gu didn't come, but I saw him walk to the big pit and pull the shovel in his hand, which suddenly stretched out a few feet and became a special sled. Gu Bulai swung his long sled and plunged his head into the pile of bones in the big pit, and then with a force of his arms, the upper layer of the pile of bones was pried up, revealing a square hole below.
It turned out that the bones in the big pit were not stacked randomly, but formed after special stacking, and the square pit in the middle was just enough to accommodate an adult lying flat, and the bones that Gu Bulai pried up were specially made lids.
Zeng Yifan's eyes widened, daring to love this old man really planned to bury him with bones!
"That's how Hades buried people." Mo Rufeng sneered on the side, "In order to build this place, you don't know how many innocent people's bones have been used. β
Judging by the number of bones around, it would take at least a thousand bones to form this scale, and if Gu Bulai did this by killing people or stealing corpses, he would be a heinous bastard.
"How to make it good is my business, how do you think it's your business." Gu Bulai put the bone lid aside, held the sled and looked at Zeng Yifan and said, "It's his business whether he can get in or not, but if he misses the hour, it's everyone's business." β
Mo Rufeng was robbed by him so much that he didn't know how to answer, and now Zeng Yifan did ask for help from him, and he could only ignore the origin of these bones for the time being.
"Alright, alright, I'll go down." Zeng Yifan reluctantly replied, "As long as you can ensure that I will die." β
"I didn't come to bury one hundred and seventy-one people, and all of them died." Gu Bulai bared Bai Sensen's teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll kill you." β
Zeng Yifan shrugged, slowly walked to the pile of bones, looked into the hole, gritted his teeth, turned over and lay in.
As soon as he lay down, Gu Bulai's long sled head poked into the hole, flipped over and patted, and accurately knocked on Zeng Yifan's right shoulder. Zeng Yifan only felt that his right arm was numb, and suddenly a stream of air flowed between his arms. But the long sled head did not stop there, and slapped all the way down Zeng Yifan's right arm until it came to an abrupt stop near the wrist, and then the head was turned up, bringing a gust of wind.
At that moment, Zeng Yifan had a strange feeling, and the pry head seemed to take something away from his arm.
He couldn't be sure, but Mo Rufeng and Xiao Lang, who were standing outside, could see exactly that Gu Bulai's pry head had brought out a cloud of mist, although it was a little discolored under the faint green light, they could still distinguish the original color of the mistβlight blue.
That's a bad breath! They immediately understood Gu Bulai's method just now, he used a long sled several feet long to accurately slap the key acupoints of Zeng Yifan's right arm, and through the sled, his own "quantity" penetrated into Zeng Yifan's right arm, forcing him to release excess evil qi.
When he was in the sewer, Xiao Lang took a lot of effort to restrain the chaotic evil qi, and even if Zeng Yifan became a vacuum, the evil qi still lingered. But Gu Bulai was able to easily force them out with just a strange sled, and the two of them were suddenly in awe of the strange "Hades" in front of them.
No matter how awe Mo Rufeng and Xiao Lang were, Gu Bulai's subordinates did not stop for a moment.
As soon as he saw the evil qi coming out, he shook the long sled with both hands, and the wind suddenly rose from his head, and the evil qi flew above the hole in the ground. Strange to say, the evil qi did not disperse under the action of the pry wind, but formed an air mass as if it was wrapped in something.
The evil qi mass floated in the air a few times like a balloon, and slowly fell, Gu Bulai didn't raise his eyelids, turned his hand and pried up the bone cover, accurately closed it back into the distance, and detained Zeng Yifan in the square cave tightly.
Then he flipped the long sled in his hand, pried his head into the air and buckled the ball of evil qi, and quickly pressed against the bone cover that had just been buckled.
Poof, the pry head was gently pressed against the bone cover, the evil qi was like a water ball that had been squeezed, and the light blue mist sprayed out all around, Tang Yi, Mo Rufeng and the others suddenly felt an extremely powerful impact in the air.
But the mist didn't shoot out of the crater, it seemed to be limited in some way, and it was pressed into the whole pile of bones by an invisible force.
As soon as the evil qi submerged, Zeng Yifan's cry came from under the pile of bones, and it seemed that he was still beating.
It wasn't loud, but it was clear enough to listen eagerly. Mo Rufeng's face changed greatly, and he wanted to jump into the pit with a shake of his body. But Tang Yi's movements were faster than him, and before Mo Rufeng could lift his feet, Tang Yi's big hands had already firmly pressed his shoulders.
"Old Don, he ......"
"Don't worry, he's fine." Tang Yi actually had a smile on his face, and then made a gesture for him to listen carefully.
