Chapter 44: The Old Man with the Lantern

"Prevent the hanging man from turning into a ghost after he dies?" I was amazed, the other party must have intended to make a fuss about the dead man.

"It's more than that." The Seven Emotions Female Ghost added, "Usually there is restraint on ghosts, and it also has the same effect on the soul body, so the dead soul can't get out, can't step into the underworld, and can only be sealed in the body." It can be said that the other party has committed a big taboo by doing this. ”

When dying, there are two changes in the three souls and seven spirits, the first is that the one who should not die suddenly dies or has a bond in his heart and turns into a ghost, and a few ghosts can step into the yin path when they are relieved; The second kind of normal death or the mind is very open, and it appears directly as a soul body, and only after the first seven can it enter the yin path.

Fortunately now, even if the hangers in the passage are bloodied and die, they are restrained by this dense fog and special ropes, and the three souls and seven spirits can only stay in their bodies......

I've figured out that the fog doesn't exist to shield the visibility of the tunnels.

The Seven Love Ghost stayed for nearly five minutes, and when she touched the rope before, she couldn't stand it anymore, so I asked her to go back to the ghost chess. I had to save the Qin ghost as soon as possible, I bit the blade horizontally with my teeth, and climbed up the wall again.

Until my head stopped when it touched the top, I held the blade in one hand, and with both feet with my body, I kicked hard, and jumped towards the suspended Qin Ghost Immortal. I caught him in one arm and two legs, and after shaking for a long time finally stopped, I sighed, took a knife and cut the rope, and fell with him.

"Ouch!" Qin Ghost Ming woke up and opened his mouth in pain, so amplitude that it almost dislocated his jaw.

I rubbed my aching shoulders, untied all the ropes wrapped around Qin Ghost Ming's body, and asked with concern, "How do you feel?" You okay? ”

"It's so confused...... Qin Ghost Ming's head shook like a rattle.

"What exactly were you taken away from before? If you don't pay attention, you're gone, and there's nothing but guns and knives on the ground. ”

"I don't know, my body is light, my eyes are black, and I don't remember anything." Qin Ghost Ming complained, "This place is too weird. ”

"It looks like we can't move on, what should I do? I don't know what happened to Ning Shuying and Xu Huayan, when I dived into the water to save you, Xu Huayan behaved exactly the same as the missing person in the video. ”

Wait a minute...... Something seems wrong? I knocked on the door of my head and said, "Brother Qin, the missing person hanging above has birthdays on the three days of September, are you too?" ”

"I was picked up by the master and brought back to the sect, and I don't even know what my birthday is." Qin Ghost Ming shook his head helplessly.

"That's possible, but I'm not."

"Brother Jiang, why do I think you are also being targeted, otherwise why did the other party drag you in the water and move here?" Qin Ghost's words made me conscious, yes, my birthday was not in those three days, but the other party caught me in the passage, the ghost knows what to do!

We checked the black paw prints on our bodies separately, and there were no abnormalities for the time being.

The unpredictable situation made us afraid to move anymore, so we simply sat down and held our arms together. An hour later, the fog was still wetting our clothes just like I had when I woke up.

Qin Ghost Ming stood up and reactivated his muscles, then sat down and continued to play the mobile game.

"Don't play with your phone, your level of divination is quite accurate, let me do the math."

"What if it doesn't work out? Waiting for death in fear is the most tormenting. ”

"That's it." I held the Notes of the Dead in my hand, wary of the guy who could sneak people away at any time. At this point, our expressions froze at the same time, and we turned our ears to the front of the passage.

"There seems to be movement, it looks like footsteps." Qin Ghost looked stunned, lowered his body, and put his ears on the ground, "It's very heavy, and he walks slowly, like someone lifting a heavy object." ”

We stared warily at the fog ahead.

Da, da, da......

As the sound became clearer, a yellowish glow shone through the thick fog.

At the same time, I felt a terrifying coercion, Qin Ghost was like a great enemy, and his hand holding the revolver trembled faintly. We looked at each other, and he shouted, "Get out." ”

This aura can shock him in the middle of the Xuan position, let alone me, beating the knee that is a little disobedient, we ran all the way, ignoring the 14 dying missing people hanging above and the corpses of Yue Wen and Xiao Hanyu on the ground, and returned to the stone at the beginning of the passage without any delay.

"Brother Qin, what did you say was that yellowing light? There was also the sound of footsteps, as if a bunch of people were walking neatly on the ground. I said breathlessly.

Qin Ghost Ming's face turned pale: "Especially the shocking aura, my pores seem to have exploded." ”

The uneasiness in my heart gradually magnified: "It's over, this starting point is purely a dead end, and the other party will chase after me sooner or later." ”

"Let's wait and see." Qin Ghost Ming checked the revolver and crouched behind the big rock.

Da Da Da ......

The chaotic footsteps came again, and the other party came! I squatted beside Qin Ghost Ming and didn't dare to say anything, and watched as a yellowing point of light appeared again in the thick fog, it brightened little by little, and then the silhouette of a person appeared in the fog.

The posture of the other party...... I'm playing lanterns!

The matter of the sedan chair borrowing the bridge suddenly came to my mind, could it be that this is the one who is responsible for lighting the lantern at the front? The aura that makes us uneasy is released by the big men in the underworld in the arrogant son?

After a little analysis, the sound of the other party's footsteps was fundamentally different from what we heard in the 17th hanging position, first, it became messy, and second, it was no longer as heavy as lifting a heavy object.

"What to do?" I nudged him on the shoulder.

Qin Ghost said in a hoarse voice, "Shh...... Take your notes and act on the opportunity. ”

The forerunner of the lantern walked up to the big rock, and I shrank down to see that the other party had not yet noticed us. Qin Guiming took out his mobile phone, activated the camera function, he poked the front end of the mobile phone out of the edge of the stone slightly, let the camera take a few seconds, and then he took back the mobile phone and watched it with us.

I looked at it and was completely stunned!

The lantern on the screen was a rickety old man, and a bunch of familiar figures stood around him, Yue Wen and Xiao Hanyu...... There were sixteen of them in total, and these missing people all looked numb, standing there like lumps of wood, more military than military posture.

How can it be!

Aren't Yue Wen and Xiao Hanyu dead? Do you turn into a corpse? Qin Ghost Ming glanced at me who was full of doubts, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's not a corpse, these two people are still in the form of corpses." ”

Could it be related to the three souls and seven spirits sealed in the corpse?

At this moment, I heard the old man of the lantern shouting weakly, "Count!" ”

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

……

"Fifteen!"

"Sixteen!"

Yue Wen and the other sixteen missing people were stiffly reported.

"There are four sedan chairs this time." The lantern old man muttered to himself, "The sedan chair driver from last time is here and can no longer be used, alas...... There is one less one to carry the lantern for me, and one is missing to be used as a sacrifice. ”

Lighting the lantern for him? This refers to the Qin ghost whose birthday is unknown.

Sacrificial ...... My whole body was petrified in an instant, damn, grab me in and want to be a sacrifice for travel?

"I'm more curious about what he said." Qin Ghost Ming trembled as he was intimidated by the other party's aura, "The sedan chair driver last time can't be used, how can I hear how this is like the sedan chair that borrowed the Zichuan Bridge last time." I know, the previous sedan chair man doesn't know why, he can't continue to carry it anymore, he can only carry the four proud people into the passage, someone has prepared the new sedan chair man and the lantern maker here, and replaced it, I plan to play the lantern for the people behind the scenes, you are the so-called sacrifice. ”

"Let's hope they don't have enough numbers and will return."

Qin Ghost Ming said with disillusionment: "Enough, don't forget that there is something that can snatch me away from you silently and hang above the passage." ”

At this time, the lantern old man opened his mouth and shouted: "Fog civet, you come out for the old man, I asked you to prepare it six days ago, explain what is going on?" ”

Beacion?

I said in my heart that this name is really strange, at this moment, our vision became clear, the thick fog floating in this place suddenly faded, Qin Ghost Ming and I were confused, what is the situation?

He continued to peep with his phone for a few seconds, and not only here, but also the dense fog in the passage in front of the stone disappeared.

Suddenly, a very seductive female voice came into my ears: "Old Jiang, don't be so angry. ”

The lantern old man didn't buy it, and continued to roar: "Fog beaver, now there is one less lantern and one sacrifice, are you still embarrassed to laugh?" Bold enough. ”

"In this generation, you have a little jump from the lantern and the sacrifice, and you are hiding behind the sunshine stone." The beaver said with a smile.

After listening to the words of the civet cat, we felt cold and cold, and thought that we were hiding very tightly, but we didn't expect that people would be clear about it, and they would simply play us like fools.

It's already come to this point, and there's no point in hiding it anymore, so I jumped on the stone with Qin Ghost Ming and suppressed my fear of what Jiang Lao. The beaver turned out to be an extremely ugly woman, she seemed to be undressed, her skin was smeared with a thick layer of dry ice and the smoke was constantly sublimating, and two peaks loomed.

"It's nice to be young...... But you are destined to die today. Jiang Lao said playfully.

"Old shaggy, fart!"

Qin Guiming raised his revolver, aimed at the other party, and pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the special bullet was accurately shot at Jiang Lao, who was playing the lantern.

Jiang Lao was in danger, his arm waved, showing a series of afterimages, and finally stopped. We were stunned that the old man had only two fingers between the bullets.

"Hmph, it's a waste of old man's time."

When Qin Ghost Ming was about to fire a second shot, Jiang Lao's hand flicked, and the bullet was like a streamer, shooting towards Qin Ghost Ming and penetrating his shoulder.

"If it weren't for the fact that I wanted you to make lanterns for my old man, your heart would be broken by now." After Jiang Lao finished speaking coldly, he looked at me disdainfully, "Sacrifice! The old man is Yinsi, do you still plan to resist? When the sacrifice of adults travels, it is the blessing of your three lives, kneel down and die! ”

His powerful momentum had a tendency to burst my veins, causing my knees to bend uncontrollably.

"Kneel? Horizontal and vertical are all death...... "I tried my best to resist the sense of intimidation that originated from Jiang Lao, and held the hand of "Notes of the Dead" to exert force, "Master said that men kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, and kneel to their parents, but ...... Which green onion are you! ”
