Chapter 61: Beyond the Tomb
How Xie Wanhua found out about my ban is the question I am most concerned about.
"Do you have a ban on you?" After Xie Wanhua reacted, she couldn't help but say to herself, "It turns out that people's memories can still be forcibly banned. It seems that I will have to look into it later when I have a chance. ”
Xie Wanhua raised her head: "I didn't know you had a ban on you. There is a theory in psychology that people will selectively forget some memories that have hurt them, or in other words, unconsciously beautify some memories. Once those things are restored, even people with good psychological quality will have strong mood swings, and it will take at least a few days to relieve. That's enough time for me to carry out my plans. ”
Xie Wanhua looked at me and said, "It's just that I didn't expect that it would take more than ten days for you to disappear, which almost made me fall into passivity." It's good that you came back in time. ”
Xie Wanhua continued: "After I forced you away, Yang Jiakai went to the tomb of the black concubine again, and this time, he and the ghosts in the tomb were both defeated. Yang Jiakai knew that he couldn't compete with ghosts in the tomb, so he came up with a way to lure the ghosts out of the tomb. The object he chose to lure the ghost was me. ”
Xie Wanhua chuckled: "If you are as smart as me, how can you be Yang Jiakai's cannon fodder?" I just fooled Tom. I think he is better at grasping the psychology of women. He is the one who can lure ghosts out of the grave. ”
I couldn't help but say, "You have a grudge against Tom? ”
"Sort of!" After Xie Wanhua finished speaking, she continued to walk forward, "Do you think Yang Jiakai died too easily? Actually, you should thank me. Without me, you may win, but you will have to pay the price. ”
Xie Wanhua said: "Since you fought with Yang Jiakai, I have cut off contact with him. ”
"I found that he had a strong attachment to me, just like he did to his sister. As long as I stop contacting him, that childlike personality will take over. He will feel that he has been robbed of his most beloved toy, and he will not only take it back, but also take revenge. ”
I said coldly: "You mean, Yang Jiakai will definitely kill us, but he won't do anything to you, so no matter which of us loses or wins, you can be invincible?" ”
"That's right!" Xie Wanhua changed her words and said, "However, I'm sure that the one who wins in the end must be you." ”
Xie Wanhua explained without waiting for me to ask again: "After Yang Jiakai becomes a child, his spell level will be exerted beyond the norm, but his mind will definitely weaken to the corresponding age. ”
"With his level of intelligence at that time, he couldn't be your opponent. As you said, in the ghost building, he could have set up several killing games in a row, but he thought that one trap could leave you all in the ghost building. So, he will surely die at your hands. ”
I frowned slightly when I heard this. The trap of the ghost building is obviously the handiwork of Xie Wanhua, and she didn't deny anything at the beginning, why did she give a different answer now?
Monk Shi took over at this time: "It stands to reason that He Yang is dead, Yang Jiakai is dead, your goal has been achieved, and you have not left any traces of murder, you can live in peace and stability, why do you have to find the tomb of the black concubine?" ”
Xie Wanhua replied bluntly: "Because, I also want the things in the tomb of the black concubine." When you have no progress in one field, and suddenly someone opens the door to another world for you, and you find that the world is newer and more interesting, will you feel excited? ”
Xie Wanhua turned around and said, "I'm very excited. I want to reach the pinnacle of the magic path and do whatever I want, so I must get the secret of the Black Concubine's Tomb. ”
Monk Shi and I glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.
It is difficult to explain the things in the Dao of Technique to Xie Wanhua, and even if she explains, she will not believe it. She had studied spells, but she didn't know the arts, and she didn't even have the most basic common sense. Opening the tomb of the black concubine was not as simple as she thought, but we had already made a vow that we could only follow her all the way.
Xie Wanhua said: "I know, with your cleverness, you will definitely find it soon." So, I'm going to make a trap and wait for you. ”
I said in a deep voice, "That stone is not a fish viewing platform?" ”
"Of course not. But the more bizarre the statement, the more suspicious it is, isn't it? Xie Wanhua said, "I know that with my brother-in-law's character, he will definitely not let go easily, and he will definitely follow me to arrest me." My brother-in-law is the best hostage. ”
I said coldly, "You laid the trap?" Do you have the ability to activate a large phantom array now? ”
Xie Wanhua didn't hide it: "The phantom array is from Yang Jiakai. He set up the phantom array in the first place, just to prevent the warlocks who came out of the middle of the road to fight with him for the secret burial. As for Li Qiang, who led you into the trap, I am in control. My brother-in-law is a police officer, so it is easier for him to trust the police and he will definitely ask the local police station for help. Li Qiang is the best person to lead you into the trap. ”
Xie Wanhua stopped talking when she said this, and we walked forward after each other for about three or four miles, and Xie Wanhua stopped in front of a cave: "This is the tomb of the black concubine." ”
"Wait for me." I circled around the entrance of the cave twice, "There is a feng shui array here, which is used to seal the entrance of the cave, and nothing can come out of it." Xie Wanhua, you have been in contact with the ghosts, don't you understand what the ghosts in the tomb of the black concubine are for the purpose of releasing the ghosts? ”
I stared at Xie Wanhua and said, "It wants the ghost to open the ban from the outside and help him get out of trouble." Do you think it's wise for us to go on like this? ”
Xie Wanhua said with a smile: "I already knew what you said, including Yang Jiakai. But, don't you think it's easier for a trapped goblin to submit, or easier to meet? ”
I said in a deep voice, "Now that you know each other's intentions, why do you want to lure the ghosts out of the tomb?" ”
Xie Wanhua explained: "According to Yang Jiakai's inference, in addition to the two ghost servants in the tomb of the black concubine, there should be a more powerful ghost guarding the tomb, as long as it is brought out, everything in the tomb will be ours." ”
Xie Wanhua said: "Now that you have no room for regret, let's think about how to open the tomb!" ”
Xie Wanhua is crazy. She is very smart and good at grasping people's hearts, but she is not a warlock, or rather, just a person who has learned the skin of spells, and she has no idea what it means to forcibly open the tomb of the black concubine and what the consequences will be.
Xie Wanhua saw that Monk Shi and I were motionless, and finally spoke: "Both, do you have to wait for any auspicious time to open the tomb?" ”
I sighed, took the compass out of my bag, and stood on the hill with my back to the hole.
Big money and compass are all things that Mr. Northeast eats, and many people also rely on fortune telling and feng shui to live, Xie Wanhua naturally did not suspect anything. After I turned around the entrance of the cave a few times, I pointed to a stone in the distance: "Monk, lift the stone, there should be something underneath." ”
Monk Shi walked over suspiciously, and used an iron rod to pry along the stone for a long time before moving the stone the size of the grinding plate to a position. Xie Wanhua didn't use Monk Shi's hands, so she dug twice in the soil pit with the wooden stick she picked up, and sure enough, a stone carved head was dug out from under the floating soil.
Xie Wanhua pushed away the dirt on the stone: "What is this?" There is a body attached below, is it a whole stone statue? ”
"That's Weng Zhongxiang, a stone statue specially used to guard the tomb." I walked over and said, "There is Weng Zhongxiang on the periphery of the emperor's mausoleum, who is used to guard the cemetery and drive away ghosts and evil spirits. However, the statue of Weng Zhong is facing outside the mausoleum, and the stone statue buried in the ground is facing the cave, which can only indicate that he is guarding the things inside the mausoleum. Do you want to keep going? ”
Xie Wanhua said in a deep voice: "How can you crack the statue of Weng Zhong?" ”
Xie Wanhua is determined to go to the tomb, and no one can stop her.
I reluctantly said, "Just smash the stone statue...... Monk, let's do it, we're done, let's go down. ”
I knew that I couldn't negotiate with Xie Wanhua anymore, so I simply stopped persuading the other party to give up the plan to go to the tomb.
Monk Shi didn't say a word, and smashed the head of the stone statue to pieces with a stick. Xie Wanhua raised her foot and kicked twice on the gravel, and after making sure that the statue of Weng Zhong was completely destroyed, she led us to the cave.
From the moment I entered the cave, I noticed that the space inside the cave was getting narrower and narrower, and at the end of the day, it had become a long, narrow cave like a tunnel. This funnel-shaped cave is very suitable for the town tomb, that is, the tomb dedicated to suppressing evil spirits.
After Monk Shi stepped into the narrow area of the cave, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Wu, have we entered the town tomb?" ”
"Yes!" I said bluntly, "From the perspective of feng shui, whether it is a tomb or a yang house, it is important to pay attention to the rise of wind and water. This cave, like a funnel, absorbs the qi of feng shui into the cave and begins to sink downward, and the people buried at the bottom of the cave will not only not be able to use the qi of feng shui, but will be suppressed. It's definitely a town tomb. ”
Xie Wanhua knew that I was reminding her that this kind of tomb should not be moved, but she pretended not to hear anything, and walked to the bottom of the cave without saying a word.
Lao Du, who had not spoken all this time, finally spoke: "Xie Wanhua, Wu Zhao and they have repeatedly reminded you that opening the tomb may cause unimaginable consequences, why do you pretend not to know?" ”
Xie Wanhua said: "I have always disliked arguing with people. ”
Lao Du said angrily: "What exactly do you want to do? I think you're crazy! ”
Xie Wanhua still disagreed: "Brother-in-law, you still don't understand me." I grew up doing my best in whatever I did. Now that I have entered the art path, I will be the most skilled warlock. There was what I wanted under the tomb and nothing more. ”
