Volume I: Chapter 63: Mass Graves

These ghosts can be seen clearly in the distance, but how can they disappear when they come to them? This made Xiahoudun also feel a little puzzled, he looked around, and saw that the surrounding was overgrown with weeds, and he couldn't see any tombstones or exposed coffins, so he couldn't find a clue for a while, so he turned his head and said to Xu Chu: "It seems that we have to find out the origin of this mass grave before we can deal with it." ”

"Then I'll take a look." As he spoke, Xu Chu turned into a shadow and went into the ground.

Xiahoudun squatted down, picking up the weeds little by little, trying to find some useful information. He touched the soil on the ground, pinched it a little and looked at it, and felt that there was a yin qi emanating from the soil, but because he didn't have any measuring equipment on his body, it was difficult to make conclusions.

Xiahou stood up, looked up at the night sky, and felt that the sky was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, not very clear, strangely, it was not like this when he came out of Zhao's house, how could it be different?

"Brother Xuan!" Suddenly, Xu Chu came out of the ground and handed Xiahoudun something, "I found this." ”

Xiahoudun took the things in Xu Chu's hand, took a closer look, and concluded that this was a waist card from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the handwriting on it was no longer clear, and he could only see that the last word was the word "Gong", "Gong?" What kind of duke is it? ”

"What has this duke done to be buried in this place!" Xu Chu couldn't help but pick up the conversation.

"That's right, how can the Duke be buried in this place?" Xiahoudun glanced at the waist card in his hand again, "It may be that his father-in-law is a eunuch." ”

"If you want to say that it is a eunuch, it is possible," Xu Chu said, "I heard my mother say that the eunuchs in ancient times were miserable, even if they were good masters, they were in power for a while, and when they were old, they would live a miserable life, and they would be buried in this kind of place when they died." ”

"That's right," Xiahoudun smiled after listening to Xu Chu's words, "I probably know what's going on." ”

"What's going on?" Xu Chu hurriedly asked.

Xiahoudun looked up at the sky again and explained: "This hazy fog in the sky is actually yin qi, and this is a mass grave for burying eunuchs, so the yin qi in the soil is extremely heavy. Most of those eunuchs had unsatisfactory lives, so they carried a breath of resentment all their lives, and after they died, they could not dissipate, and they were buried in the soil. ”

Xu Chu listened, and then asked, "Then what's going on with those ghosts?" ”

Xiahoudun said: "Those ghosts are resentment, and along with the yin qi, they are brought up by something I don't know what it is. The reason why we were able to see them in the distance just now and now we can't see them is because we might have seen the whole yin qi on the outside of this extreme yin qi just now, and now that we are inside this yin qi, we can't see them. ”

"So that's ......" Xu Chu didn't seem to understand, "then how to deal with it?" ”

"Resentment can naturally be dispelled." As he spoke, Xiahoudun placed the sword finger in his left hand in front of his nose, and recited the "Soul Array", only to see a golden light wrapped around Xiahoudun. Then, those ghosts began to gradually appear, and began to approach Xiahoudun, and when they got close to a certain extent, they turned into golden light and dissipated.

Xiahoudun put away the formation and said, "In this way, there will be no more ghosts." ”

"Is that a complete solution?" Xu Chu looked around, glanced at the sky, and felt that it was still hazy.

"It hasn't been solved yet," Xiahoudun took a few steps forward, his eyes kept glancing between the grass, as if looking for something, "Yin Qi is spreading from high concentration to low concentration, and the demons have destroyed the Hades Gate in this vicinity, and it stands to reason that the Yin Qi in the soil will not come out for more than a hundred years." ”

"What's going on?" Xu Chu followed Xiahoudun's footsteps, "Brother Xuan, what are you looking for?" ”

Xiahoudun stopped, looked at Xu Chu, and said: "There is probably only one reason why the yin qi can come up, that is, there is something under this ground that is releasing a large amount of yang qi, and the outside world is affected by the underworld and the yin qi is aggravated, so these grievances are because of the formation of the yin and yang poles here, so they move in the direction of the heavy yin qi, and they come out." I'll look for any entrances nearby, and we'll go in and see. ”

After hearing this, Xu Chu pointed to a broken stone tablet not far away, and said, "I just saw that there seems to be a strange pattern on that stone, Brother Xuan, can you go and take a look?" ”

"Where?" Xiahoudun looked in the direction of Xu Chu's finger and saw the stone stele. He walked over to the stone tablet, carefully searching for strange patterns.

"Here!" Xu Chu followed and pointed to the base of the stele.

When Xiahoudun saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, the pattern was a circle formed by nine small dots recessed into the stele, and the nine concave dots were not stationary, but slowly rotating clockwise on the stele, "What is this?" ”

"Look, they're still moving!" Xu Chu didn't look carefully just now, but now that he saw it clearly, he began to be surprised, "How can these little holes still move on their own......"

"That's what I'm talking about......" Xiahoudun took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that the small concave dots were not on an independent rotating device, they were moving on their own, "It's really evil!" What the hell is this? ”

"It's the Hydra emblem." Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice from behind him startled Xiahoudun and Xu Chu, and it was none other than Jia Xu of the Zolclaut group.

Xiahoudun turned to look at the man in a gray retro suit and a monocle in his left eye, fixed his mind, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"In Nizha Jiaxu, he is the president of the Zolkrautburg Biochemical Group." Jia Xu said, took out two business cards from his arms, and handed them to Xiahoudun and Xu Chu respectively, "I came here to give Xiahou team leader a gift." ”

"Jia Xu?" Xiahoudun took the business card and glanced at it, and then at Jia Xu, "Are you a fighting spirit?" ”

"Exactly." Jia Xu had an incomprehensible smile on his face, just like a vicious beast hidden under the water of a clear lake, which made people feel a chill behind him.

Xiahoudun put away his business card, "But I've been in the Spirit Record Bureau for so many years, and I've never heard of you as a person." ”

"Haha!" Jia Xu seemed to be laughing, "Who stipulated that Jia Xu must serve Cao Cao?" And who stipulated that the fighting spirit must work for the Spirit Record Bureau? Is that you? Xiahou team leader. ”

Xiahoudun smiled bitterly helplessly, "I'm just curious, are you friend or foe." ”

"I've said it all," Jia Xu took out a delicate small box from the inner pocket of his suit, "I'm here to give a gift to Team Leader Xiahou." ”

Xiahoudun cautiously glanced at the box, then looked at Jia Xu, and said, "What is that?" ”

"It's an eye patch." Jia Xu opened the box. I saw a black bead in the box.

Xiahoudun glanced at the blindfold and said, "You call this an eyepatch?" What do you tell me to bring? ”

"Of course it is!" Jia Xu said, before Xiahoudun could react, he stretched out his right hand and tore off the blindfold on Xiahoudun's left eye, and then used his thumb to take the black bead and buckle it into Xiahoudun's left eye.

In an instant, a black lightning bolt was released from Xiahoudun's left eye, spreading along Xiahoudun's cheek and all over his body.

"Stop!" Xu Chu was in a wrong situation, summoned a double hammer and smashed it at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu was not in a hurry, and gently threw the small box that originally contained the beads towards Xu Chu. In an instant, the small box turned into a lilac glass-like barrier about 1.5 meters long, blocking between Jia Xu and Xu Chu.

And Xu Chu's hammer just now was blocked by the barrier, and he failed to hurt Jia Xu.

Jia Xu snapped his fingers, and the barrier immediately turned to powder. Then, Jia Xu's left middle finger flicked Xu Chu with the help of his thumb, and a small air cannon was sent out from his fingertips, which hit Xu Chu's right knee.

Xu Chu felt a pain in his right knee, fell to the ground, and the hammer was also taken off.

Jia Xu saw that the time was almost up, so he withdrew his right hand from Xiahoudun's eyes.

Xiahoudun covered his eyes and half-knelt on the ground, and a few black lightning flashes on his body from time to time.

"Brother Xuan!" Xu Chu stubbornly crawled to Xiahoudun's side.

After a while, the lightning on Xiahoudun stopped appearing, and he also stood up.

I saw a black one-eyed blindfold appear in Xiahoudun's left eye. The blindfold was extraordinarily delicate, only the size of an eye socket, with no straps.

Xiahoudun tentatively touched the blindfold with his hand, and felt that there was indeed an eyepatch there. Then he looked around and felt that his vision had widened, as when his left eye was not blind, and even the sensation of moving his eyeball was real, as if his left eye had grown again.

"How does it feel? Xiahou team leader. Jia Xu asked.

"It's ...... What is it? Xiahoudun couldn't believe this feeling.

Jia Xu smiled proudly, "This is an eye mask specially developed for you by Zolcrautburg, in order to help you regain your eyesight. ”

"Zolkraut Castle ......" Xiahou muttered, glanced at Xu Chu, helped him up, and then moved his gaze to Jia Xu, "What is it?" ”

"You should probably be more concerned about the pattern on the stele than that now." Jia Xu didn't answer Xiahoudun's question, but pointed to the stone tablet they were still looking at just now.

Xiahoudun remembered the strange pattern, turned around and took a look, and saw that the small concave dots were still turning, so he asked Jia Xu, "What did you just say about this?" ”

"Nine-headed insect emblem." Jia Xu repeated it again.

"What's that?" Xiahoudun then asked.

"The monsters in "Journey to the West"," Xu Chu continued, "My mother told me." ”

"Youkai?" Xiahoudun glanced at Xu Chu, and then asked Jia Xu, "Is it the monster that Xu Chu said?" ”

"Exactly, he is real," Jia Xu took off his monocle, took out a square scarf from his arms, carefully wiped the lenses, and explained, "That nine-headed insect is a monster, born in a chaotic period when yin and yang have not yet separated, and it is not known how many millions of years ago. ”

"A monster from millions of years ago," Xiahoudun looked at Jia Xu with a confused expression, "What is it going to do?" ”

"Return the universe to chaos." Jia Xu said, put on the monocle, and straightened it.

Xiahoudun smiled bitterly, he glanced at Xu Chu's eyes that were as confused as him, and then asked Jia Xu, "Then, what now?" Where do you want us to stop it? ”

Jia Xu couldn't help but smile when he saw Xiahoudun asking such a straight question.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiahoudun asked.

Jia Xu shook his head, "I laugh at you Team Leader Xiahou, you are in such a situation, and you are still so desperate to work." ”

"What is this called," Xiahoudun felt that Jia Xu's words were a bit harsh, "Isn't it an obligation to maintain peace between living beings?" Could it be that working in the Spirit Record Bureau is just to simply support a family? ”

"I didn't mean that." Jia Xu saw that Xiahoudun was so serious, so he couldn't say anything, he waved his hand, then walked to the side of the stone tablet and squatted down.

"What is this for?" Seeing this, Xu Chu couldn't help but ask.

Jia Xu didn't answer Xu Chu's question, but reached out and gently touched the nine-headed insect emblem. I saw that the nine small concave points instantly emitted purple light, and then the speed accelerated, and the entire stone tablet also moved backwards by more than a meter, revealing a hole that was originally pressed under it.

"There's an entrance here!" Xu Chu looked at it and shouted.

"Shhhhh......h ”

Xiahoudun glanced into the cave and saw that there was a long ladder leading to the darkness below. He asked Jia Xu, "How do you know about this passage?" And how can you open it? ”

Jia Xu squatted there and looked up at Xiahoudun, "What, is Team Leader Xiahou afraid?" ”

Xiahoudun looked at Jia Xu cautiously, then turned his head to look at Xu Chu, and then stepped forward, ready to climb the ladder and go down.

Xu Chu stepped forward to stop Xiahoudun and said, "Brother Xuan, aren't you afraid that it's a trap?" ”

Xiahoudun said: "This person must have come prepared, if you want to harm the two of us, just do it, and besides, there is a strange extreme yang qi down here, I will definitely have to go down and investigate." ”

"This is the style of Team Leader Xiahou," Jia Xu smiled, "The two of you will invite you first, and I will break it later." ”

Xiahoudun nodded, and then climbed the ladder and went down.

"Humph!" Xu Chu snorted disdainfully, glared at Jia Xu, and then climbed down as well.
