'There will be no more daylight!' 'What does this mean?' The doctor and I looked at each other, not understanding what the old man meant, but before we could ask, the old man had already gotten up and gone downstairs.

"What does he mean by that?"

After the old man left, I asked the doctor in wonder, and he also shook his head, "I don't understand either, but listening to his meaning, it seems that he is planning to go to the mirror ancient town you said!" ”

"Ahh No way? The old man wants to go to the other side of the bridge? Didn't he say he couldn't come back if he went? ”

"I don't know, maybe something happened!" The doctor frowned, looking at his expression, as if he was a little worried.

The old man didn't know what to do downstairs, just asked us to pack up our things and wait for him, in fact, we didn't have anything to pack, when we set off to Tulou during the day, we had already brought all the necessary things, except for a camera and a video camera, which were now also obtained.

Almost as soon as the old man walked on the front foot, we had already packed our things on the back foot, and looking at the bulging backpack on the bed, somehow I always felt that this operation was a bit like an escape.

We waited in the room, and by the way, it was also a rest, but after waiting for a long time, the old man did not come back, and we couldn't help but start worrying, and said that something had happened?

Thinking about it, I looked at the doctor, picked up my bag and went downstairs.

On the stairs, half of the driver's body had disappeared, and there were only some pitch-black ashes left on the stairs, which should have been dealt with by Old Man Yan. When I went down to the lobby, I found that all the doors and windows were sealed, and even through the doors, I could still hear the noisy roars of the corpses surrounding the inn.

This strange voice made me get goosebumps all over my body, and I shivered subconsciously, and hurriedly looked around for the old man's traces.

The lobby was brightly lit, and it was clear at a glance that the old man was not here. I gestured to the doctor and pointed to the yard behind the stairs, and the doctor understood, and hurriedly turned around and felt towards the backyard.

For some reason, I always felt that there was an indescribable strangeness in the inn lobby at this time, as if there was an eye secretly watching me in some corner that I couldn't see. This feeling is very bad, looking at the back of the doctor slowly moving away, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I hurriedly called him softly.

The doctor had already reached the corner of the stairs, and was a few steps further away from the lobby and into the backyard, when I suddenly called him, and he thought something was wrong, so he turned his head to look at me and asked me what was wrong.

I didn't know how to explain how I felt in my heart, so I had to pull out the short knife from the mirror ancient town and throw it to him, "Take this, be careful!" ”

After the doctor caught the knife, he looked at me strangely, made an OK gesture at me, turned around and continued to walk towards the backyard.

At this time, the bad feeling in my heart was not weakened, but it became stronger, but no matter what I thought, I could not think of what was wrong, so I had to blame this uneasiness on Luo Yi's deception. However, this is always self-deception, I feel very depressed, and the feeling of being watched is getting stronger and stronger, I suddenly turned around, swept the whole lobby, and finally stared, my eyes stayed on the counter to the right of the lobby entrance.

Looking at the counter, I suddenly thought of a few previous things related to the counter, and almost immediately confirmed that the feeling of being watched came from behind the counter.

I swallowed and plucked up the courage to walk over to the counter.

Due to my previous experience, I was afraid that a zombie with a withered face would suddenly jump out from behind the counter, or a corpse cat would suddenly pop out, and my heart was extremely nervous, and my two hands involuntarily clenched the hilt of the black sword, and constantly comforted myself in my heart: Lao Tzu has an artifact in his hand, Lao Tzu is not afraid of anyone, Lao Tzu is invincible in the world......

Not to mention, this kind of autosuggestion is really useful, touching the black sword, the tension in my heart slowly calmed down, and I cautiously walked to the counter, carrying the black sword on my shoulder, ready to block or cut out at any time, and at the same time leaned my head to look inside the counter.

Fortunately, the back of the counter was empty except for a bamboo chair, except for a drawer on one side of the counter, which was opened, revealing an old stack of thread-bound books inside, which looked as if it had just been turned over.

I breathed a sigh of relief, my tense nerves eased, and at the same time I looked curiously at the old books in the drawer, especially the one on the top that had been opened before I could close it, I always felt that it looked a little familiar, so I pulled it out, spread it out on the counter and began to look at it carefully.

It wasn't until I read the pages that I realized that it was a register, a registration form for hotels in ancient times. Looking at the pages that were being flipped through and filled with names, I couldn't help but feel curious.

I'm sure the roster hadn't been turned over by the time we left the inn during the day, and those who remained at the inn had already been tormented by recent events, and wouldn't have flipped through it casually. The most important thing is that I also saw a little tidal mark in the corner of the page, which was the imprint left when I dipped my hand in saliva to be able to turn the page better, many people in my grandmother's generation had this habit of turning books, and the damp marks were not dried at the moment, which means that the roster has just been flipped over, and the doctor and I have been upstairs, and the one who looks through the roster can only be Old Man Yan.

But why would he be interested in this roster?

I wondered in my heart, and couldn't help but glance at the names on it, until I saw the new ink in the lower right corner of the page, and I suddenly saw several very familiar names: Wang Hanjun, Chen Yu, Yang Yulin, Wang Xi, Dong Qian, Luo Yi......

When I saw these names, I suddenly remembered that when I first arrived at the inn, the innkeeper had asked us to register our names, and it seemed that this was the list we were using.

Looking at the names on the roster, I once again felt the feeling of being secretly watched just now, and I couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly found that there was something wrong with these names on the roster.

Our group of people has just been registered, so the ink of the name is very new, and above our name, there are five very weird-looking names, they are: Wang Hanzhu, Lin Yuanzhang, Scott, Yuan Daojun, Zhang Lingjin.

I am very familiar with these names, among them Zhang Lingjin and Lin Yuanzhang, I already know them, although I don't know why Zhang Lingjin's name was written wrong by one word, but from the narrative of Old Man Yan and Uncle Chen, I can be sure that this Zhang Lingjin is the Zhang Lingjin I know.

And the names of the other three people don't need to be guessed, I know that they must be members of the five-person team. Scott's name is a foreign name as soon as it sounds, it should be a foreigner who was nailed to death by Lin Yuanzhang with a peachwood sword, and one of the remaining two people is a Taoist priest of the Maoshan faction who went to the ancient town with Lin Yuanzhang to track down the forbidden land of the node.

Wang Hanzhu, this name is only one word different from Wang Hanjun, I am almost certain that these two must have a very close relationship, if not brothers, they must be very close relatives, and both of them have been in the army. In this way, the purpose of Wang Hanjun and Chen Yu's visit to Suoming Town is very clear, they must have received the news of Wang Hanzhu's disappearance in the ancient town, so they joined the tour group to investigate Wang Hanzhu's whereabouts.

But that's not what shocked me, it was the names themselves that really struck me as weird. Among the names of these five people, only the ink of the three words 'Zhang Lingjin' is still black, and in the remaining four names, Scott and Lin Yuanzhang have completely dimmed, showing gray and white, as if the ink has been diluted by water droplets. And Yuan Daojun's name is between black and gray-white, as for Wang Hanzhu, these three words are very weird.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but the name seems to be slowly spreading, getting bigger and bigger, and the color is actually blood red, and the whole looks as if it has just been written with a lot of blood, and the blood stains are still spreading and flowing everywhere. Just by looking at it, I immediately had a crude illusion that the whole person was going to be swallowed by this name, and I couldn't help but let out a cold sweat and hurriedly stepped back.

Just when I was shocked in my heart, my eyes extended to the names of the lower row of tour groups with the spread of blood-red names, and I found that among the names of these people in the tour group, the names of the driver and the long hair also turned gray-white, and in the rest of the names, except for me, the doctor and Luo Yi, the names of everyone, including Chen Bo, were wrapped in a layer of scarlet blood, and the blood-colored names of Wang Hanzhu in the upper row were slowly extending towards these blood-glowing names.

This strange scene made me feel terrified, and I immediately realized something, and I didn't care about it, so I hurriedly turned over the cover of the roster, and when I saw it, I immediately gasped. I saw three traditional Chinese characters written on the blue book cover: Book of Life and Death!

I felt unsteady on my feet, and after stumbling a few times, I finally held on to the counter, so I didn't fall, and it took me a few seconds to recover from the dizziness, but the horror in my heart was like a stormy wave.

The Book of Life and Death, this book is called the Book of Life and Death! I thought of the reincarnation bridge mentioned by the old man, and the rebellious change from corpse to man after the reincarnation bridge, what is the difference between this and the legendary underworld? The gray-white name in the book of life and death means that he has died, and the black name represents that he is still alive in the world, so what does the red and the black wrapped in red represent?

Also, why are all the names of everyone on the tour group shrouded in blood, except for me, the doctor, and Roy's name, which is simply black?

Just when my heart was shocked and even my thinking was a little dull, there was the sound of footsteps behind me.

I thought it was the doctor who had returned, and I hurriedly turned around and planned to tell him about the book of life and death, but the person behind me was not the doctor, but Old Man Yan. He looked at me with an indifferent expression, his eyes were extremely indifferent, I felt that something was wrong, and at the same time, a bad feeling also rose in my heart, and I found that I was a little afraid of the old man Yan in front of me.

"Before... Senior, where have you been, let's find it? Although I was terrified, I still forced myself to compose, and my two hands involuntarily clenched the black sword in my hand.

Old man Yan didn't care about my small movements, his eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at the book of life and death that I spread out on the counter, and raised his eyebrows: "You, got it?" ”

"Ah, what do you know?" In a hurry, I also forgot that the book of life and death was spread out on the counter by me, and I didn't know how fake my expression was when I said this, and when the words came out, I noticed that the book of life and death was still on the counter, and my heart suddenly sighed, knowing that it was over, the other party must know that I was afraid of him again.

Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Old Man Yan's face darkened, and he became very terrifying, and asked in a gloomy voice, "What, you seem to be afraid of me?" ”

I subconsciously took a few steps back, and at the same time lifted the black sword in front of me with two hands, making a defensive posture, and just wanted to say something threatening, but the old man spoke with a disdainful face: "Hmph!" It's up to you? Even if the Jade Emperor's sword is in your hand, it is just a piece of scrap metal to you, what can you do? ”

After speaking, he didn't even look at me, walked to the counter with his hands in his hands, stretched out his hand and opened the book of life and death, revealing a solemn face.

Although I feel very embarrassed to be ignored by him like this, the old man is right, even if the artifact is in my hand, with my ability, it will be difficult to even swing it, let alone exert its power, if the old man really wants to target me, I will definitely not have the slightest power to resist.

I sighed, lowered the black sword in my hand, looked at the old man and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Who? Didn't I already tell you? ”

At this time, I completely let go, the big deal is death, but I was not so scared, so I sneered: "What you said, how true and how false, only you know." The book of life and death, the bridge of reincarnation, from corpse to person, from death to life, this is clearly the underworld, but you say that this is the formation arranged by my grandfather and you, hum, you are a person over a hundred years old, isn't it a shame to lie to me, a junior? ”

The old man glanced at me, his expression remained unchanged, but his hand moved back from the book of life and death, and said in an indifferent tone: "What I said before is indeed the truth, I didn't lie to you, the formation we set up at the beginning is called the 'Yin Yang Corpse Turning Array'." ”

Hearing him say this, I was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Since that's the case, why didn't you say it before, and where did you go just now?" ”

Old man Yan didn't answer my words, but instead pointed to the book of life and death, and asked an irrelevant question: "Do you know what this list represents?" ”

I nodded, shook my head again, and said, "I'm just guessing that the gray-white name is the dead person, and the black name is the living person, as for the rest, I don't understand." ”

Old man Yan nodded: "Well, you guessed right, the Book of Life and Death, the Reincarnation Bridge and the Inn are all things that are used in conjunction with the formation, among which the Reincarnation Bridge is the thing that scatters ghosts and attaches corpses, the Inn is the eye of yang energy, and it is also the core of the formation, and the Book of Life and Death is the roster of the people who guard the formation." ”
