"Coffin?"

Chen Xian stayed there with the flashlight, squinting his eyes and carefully identifying it.

The object was an inexplicable black color, not reflective even under the illumination of a flashlight, and appeared to absorb a large amount of electromagnetic radiation in the visible light band.

"What's that?" Huo Fatzi also noticed the black outline in the corner, so he took the initiative to ask Chen Xian.

"It looks like a coffin." Chen Xian replied uncertainly.

After receiving the reply, Huo Fatzi glanced left and right a few times, and his expression became more and more surprised.

"Coffin?"

Huo Fatzi muttered, his hands were not idle, he was busy changing the magazine of the pistol: "Look at the decoration of this place is not like a modern style, it can't be an ancient tomb, right?" ”

"I can't say." Chen Xian said, shaking the flashlight around, "The relief murals here have been almost corroded, and they can't see their original appearance, and the outlines are a little blurred...... Uncle Huo, can you tell what dynasty this is? ”

"I'm not an archaeologist, where do I know about dynasties?" Huo Fatzi said helplessly.

Chen Xian showed a rare smile and asked, "Go over and have a look?" ”

Huo Fatzi naturally knew what Chen Xian wanted to do, so he was in a hurry to change the magazine to prepare.

Seeing that Huo Fatzi had no objection, Chen Xian took him to the northeast corner.

"Xiao Chen, if that's really a coffin...... The thing in the coffin doesn't deceive the corpse, right? ”

"Possibly."

"Then let's get over like this...... Wouldn't it be too underestimated? Huo Fatzi asked cautiously, and seeing that Chen Xian didn't react, he hurriedly added a few words, "I've seen those things in the ancient tomb, and none of them are good!" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay." Chen Xian comforted, "As long as it dares to jump out, I can press it back again." ”

Hearing this, Huo Fatzi relaxed a little and was not so nervous, but when he remembered what he had experienced before, he still felt a little creepy.

Go to the front line to deal with these anomalous beings...... It's not a human job!

Huo Fatzi muttered in his heart, but with Chen Xian present, he didn't dare to complain too much, and followed cautiously behind, a pair of small eyes were rolling around, and he was up to observe the wind and grass nearby.

The closer he got to the northeast corner, the more unusual things Chen Xian found in this "tomb".

Especially when he walked to the middle part of this "burial chamber", Chen Xian stopped very abruptly, lowered his head and seemed to be observing something.

Huo Fatzi also hurriedly stopped, and when he saw Chen Xian looking down, he also learned to lower his head.

There is a huge crimson pattern on the ground, which is generally composed of three circles of different sizes, one ring after another.

The smallest circle is filled with three talismans.

In the medium-sized circle, there are many abstract and vague figurines of small figures.

As for the largest round...... It's all symbols.

The fonts of those talismans are very small, densely packed together, and in this circle of about three or four square meters, at least hundreds or even thousands of talismans are drawn!

The pigment used to outline this pattern should be cinnabar, which can be seen from the smell and the feedback under the light.

"It seems like a battle." Chen Xian said suddenly, his eyes became a little deeper, as if he was reminiscing, "I remember seeing ...... on the information in the department."

The information in the department is very complicated, it can be said that from astronomy to geography, ordinary people can't read it in a lifetime, and these materials are not public, and they need to spend a lot of money to buy, so Chen Xian, like most employees, is selective to buy the information that is suitable for him.

He has bought some research reports on anomalous life, some special tutorials on dealing with anomalous life, and some religious popular science books.

Two years ago, he bought a document called "Ten Thousand Arrays of Guangji".

The person who provided this information is the previous heavenly master of Longhu Mountain, it is said that it is part of the information extracted from the ancient books in the Longhu Mountain collection, the original author is a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, and he also learned from Longhu Mountain, and the Taoist name is famous.

The general content of this information is the popular science array, such as some common Taoist formations, or some folk evil formations, and so on.

There is only a rough explanation and description in the information, and there is no way to break the formation, but fortunately, it is an illustrated material, so Chen Xian can also use it as an encyclopedia.

There is an illustration of a formation that bears a striking resemblance to the pattern on the ground.

After carefully recalling for a while, Chen Xian could already conclude that the illustration of that formation was the same as the pattern on the ground...... The similarity is at least 95 percent, and if nothing else, it should be that array!

And only that array can explain everything.

Why did the people in the psychiatric hospital not kill Hong Jinxi after taking the key, but instead put him back and turned himself in, which led to Huo Fatzi and them......

"Uncle Huo, there should be quite a lot of enemies in our department, right?" Chen Xian asked coldly.

Hearing this question, Huo Fatzi nodded subconsciously and said, "That's for sure, we have to deal with all the unruly aliens in the country, and we are also responsible for dealing with unruly abnormal lives, how can the enemy be?" ”

After speaking, Huo Fatzi frowned, as if he realized something.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Aren't you wondering why they let Hong Jinxi go?" Chen Xian raised his finger and pointed to the formation diagram on the ground, and said meaningfully, "The answer is in this formation." ”

"Is this a battle?" Huo Fatzi was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure."

Chen Xian nodded, recalled the description in the information, and said to Huo Fatzi: "This formation originated from a northern folk lineage of the Taoist branch, and it first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, called the Falling Formation. ”

殍, as the name suggests, refers to a person who dies of starvation.

According to Taoism, most of those who died of hunger were unwilling after death, and the three souls were angry and resentful, and after falling into the way of hungry ghosts, they would not leave the yang world, and liked to run rampant in the world.

But this only speaks of their souls, their bodies?

The same is true of the flesh, even more so.

Relevant records can be found in the limited data records, whether ancient or modern, once the starving corpse is caused by the sun, the consequences are mostly serious.

The Falling Array is a special kind of corpse control array, and as you can see from the name, the dead corpses it controls are mainly starving.

According to the records of "Ten Thousand Arrays Guangji", the corpse controlled by the Falling Array is called Evil, which is extremely very difficult, invulnerable to water and fire, and even the yin and yang techniques of each law vein have no effect on them.

One more important of these is one more point.

Within the range of the Hunger Array's influence, as long as someone dies, the corpse of the deceased will become a new sin.

The only way to restrain this formation is to break the formation, but it is clearly mentioned in the information.

If there is a disaster, there is no solution.

The general meaning of this sentence is that the falling array is almost equal to a natural disaster, and there is no way to crack it.

"According to you, this is an unsolvable situation?" Huo Fatzi frowned.

"Pretty much." Chen Xian squatted on the ground and stroked the three talismans in the middle of the formation with his hand, "This is the eye of the formation, there should be a magic weapon inserted into the talisman, but there is no magic weapon here..... It can only mean that the battle was defeated at the beginning of the battle. ”

"Who do you think set up the formation?" Huo Fatzi asked.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Maybe it's the dean, after all, he is the only one on this level, and there is no one else." ”

"The formation failed...... Huo Fatzi's brows furrowed more and more, "What will happen if the formation succeeds?" ”

Chen Xian stroked the array diagram on the ground, as if he was looking at a work of art, and asked Huo Fatzi without raising his head: "Have you ever seen someone else fishing?" ”

Huo Fatzi snorted and said that he had seen it.

"It's possible, I'm just saying it's possible...... Since they know about the key, they must also know that Hong Jinxi is being hunted by you, and they know that you are also looking for the key. ”

"Hong Jinxi surrendered, you will definitely come forward to him to ask for the key, come and go, you can only be led by the nose to this mental hospital."

"The dead bodies of the patients kneeling in the square should be the ones they are going to manipulate with the Falling Formation, as for why they can still breathe when this formation fails..... I can't explain that. ”

"All in all, they set up a formation to kill people, and they guessed in advance that you would come, so they made so many preparations, just afraid that you would not come."

"If nothing else, before you get full reinforcements from the headquarters, you will definitely come and die as many as you want, and even I can't protect you."

"They're trying to take us to the pot?" Huo Fatzi's eyes widened, his expression was shocked and angry, "This fucking handiwork is too big, right?!" Take a few hundred patients to set up a formation just to kill us?? What kind of hatred is this?? ”

"I also want to know what your grudges are." Chen Xian glanced at Huo Fatzi, then turned back and muttered to himself, "But there is one thing I don't understand, they have opened a mental hospital in Ningchuan City for so many years, it won't really be just for a key, right?" The king of thieves is in Ningchuan, and they are guarding in Ningchuan? Are you so patient......"

"I can't say." Huo Fatzi sneered, "That key is of immeasurable value to someone with a heart. ”

"How do I think there is another reason...... Chen Xian muttered.

"Maybe you're thinking too much." Huo Fatzi said.

Chen Xian glanced up at him, although his tone was a little uncertain, but his eyes were very sure.

"It's not that I'm overthinking, it's my gut ....."

As he spoke, Chen Xian turned his head and looked at the strange reliefs around him, his eyes becoming more and more affirmative.

"I always felt like there was another secret hidden here...... Maybe it's a secret that has nothing to do with the key. ”
