He Changqing looked around, and finally his gaze fell on the ghost beam, and then said, "I felt someone patting my shoulder just now. ”

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, you didn't scare me, did you?" ”

He Changqing's face was serious, and Hou Zhenbang was also vigilant, but the three of them still couldn't help but look at the ghost bundle.

"Let's go." Hou Zhenbang urged Wei Chiran, "This place is not suitable for a long time. ”

The three of them quickened their pace and walked forward, but after walking for a while, they saw a dark figure standing in front of them.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Wei Chiran shone a flashlight on it, and found that it was another ghost beam.

Wei Chiran said: "Master, this can't be a ghost, right?" ”

He Changqing also didn't define it: "Let's go, go up and have a look." ”

The three of them walked up to the ghost bundle, looked carefully, and found that the ghost bundle was exactly the same as the one they saw before, but they couldn't tell whether it was a psychological effect, after all, even if they looked carefully, they might not be able to distinguish clearly.

Wei Chi Ran proposed: "Let's move on." ”

He Changqing said: "Use the fishbone sword to make a mark on the stone pillar." ”

The lieutenant stepped forward with a sigh of relief, took out a fishbone sword, made a mark on the stone pillar, and drew a fork.

Then the three of them continued to move forward, and walked about a few dozen meters, and found that there was a ghost beam standing in front of them.

Wei Chi was stunned: "This ......"

He Changqing and Hou Zhenbang frowned and watched, but Tu Xingsun looked extremely irritable, jumping up and down, as if he had found something.

He Changqing took out the compass, but found that the compass was out of order, and he seemed to remember something.

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, what's going on?" ”

He Changqing didn't answer, he fell into deep thought, and Wei Chiran had to ask Hou Zhenbang for help.

Hou Zhenbang said: "This is not a ghost, in the final analysis, it is just an illusion." ”

"Hallucinations?" Wei Chiran reached out and touched the stone pillar, "Isn't it an illusion?" ”

Hou Zhenbang also touched the stone pillar, carefully touching the scratches cut by the fishbone sword before: "The hallucination is only what you see in front of you, and it definitely can't affect the sense of touch, but these are all real, and I don't know what's going on." ”

The two could only look at He Changqing, He Changqing reached out to touch the stone pillar, but the touch was very light, and he looked absent-minded, obviously recalling something.

"The Secret Method of the Ghost Valley." He Changqing finally said four words for a long time, paused and said, "It is also the art of war, one of which is called Qiankun Looking Back, it has been there since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but there are very few people who can use it, and it is said that Sun Bin will use it, but it is necessary to pick a place, not every place can set up this array." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "What do you mean?" ”

He Changqing shook his head: "Go back, plus this, it is already the third ghost beam we have encountered, so we have to go back to the first one, I bet that the first ghost beam does not have the mark you made with the fishbone sword one hundred percent." ”

He Changqing turned around and led Wei Chiran and Hou Zhenbang to walk back, the three of them counted as they walked, returned to the first ghost bundle, and after checking, sure enough, as He Changqing said, there was no mark drawn by the fishbone sword.

Wei Chiran was surprised: "Master, why is this happening?" ”

He Changqing frowned and said: "This formation is called Qiankun looking back, and the focus is on the word looking back." Legend once Sun Bin stepped down this formation, confused an enemy general, the general with his soldiers into the valley, found a dead tree in the valley, nothing else, the general did not feel that there was any problem, continued to move forward, walked only a hundred meters and found a dead tree, exactly the same as the previous one, the general felt strange, so let the soldiers order the people behind not to enter again, send the deputy general to lead the troops to continue forward, who knew that the deputy general with a thousand people disappeared in the valley, There was no further news, and no one who entered the valley ever came out again. ”

Wei Chiran sighed: "This is too godly, right?" ”

Hou Zhenbang nodded and said, "I've heard of this legend. ”

He Changqing explained: "The first point of this formation is the method of breaking the formation, and the second and all the points after that are all fake, the deeper you go, the more you can't get out, but unfortunately, I only know the general idea of this formation, but I don't know the specific ways and means of breaking the formation." ”

Wei Chiran asked: "There is no record in the secret method of the Ghost Valley?" ”

He Changqing said: "Few people have seen that book, and I have only heard of it. ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "Obviously, it is the earth phase that laid down this array, only they know how to combine the ghost bundle of the underworld marriage and the Qiankun Retrospective Array. ”

Wei Chiran looked around, no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary cave, He Changqing had said so much before, the point was that this formation must be arranged in a special place, but what does this place represent?

Wei Chiran asked, "Master, are you sure we are not hallucinating due to poisoning?" ”

He Changqing shook his head and said: "No, we are definitely not poisoned, this place is very strange, I have studied it before, from a scientific point of view, it should be from the second point, it should be strayed into a certain circular space, so, starting from the second point, that is, the second ghost beam, every ghost beam encountered after that is actually the second, the person who goes in is just constantly circulating, if the cycle is too long, it will fall into a dead loop and never get out again, and finally be trapped in it, and then you can't go back if you want to." ”

Wei Chi looked at the ghost bundle and asked, "And then?" ”

He Changqing looked at Wei Chiran, and knew from his appearance that he was thinking, thinking about how to unlock this mechanism, so he said: "In my understanding, the first one is true, the second is false, in fact, there are only two ghost bundles, the first ghost bundle is in the space where we exist, and the second ghost bundle enters the other space, so the key point must be the one in front of us, that is, the first ghost bundle here, as long as you crack the mechanism of this ghost bundle, you can find a way out." ”

Wei Chi slowly shook his head: "It sounds complicated, but what is presented in front of you is so simple, often the more like this, the easier it is to make simple things complicated, I think this mechanism must be very simple." ”

When he first said this, Wei Chiran obviously felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, but He Changqing was right in front of him, while Hou Zhenbang was standing at least two meters away on his left, and Tuxingsun was also standing on his shoulder, that is, it was impossible for someone to pat him on the shoulder.

The lieutenant slowly turned his head to look at his shoulder, but there was nothing there.

"Master." Wei Chi slowly exhaled, "Just now, I was patted by someone, just like you did before. ”

He Changqing immediately looked behind Wei Chiran, but there was nothing behind him.

Hou Zhenbang trembled, these three people are not timid people, and they have experienced a lot of strange things, but this kind of haunting-like thing is the first time they have encountered it.

Just when the three of them were wondering, Hou Zhenbang's shoulder was also slapped by something.

Hou Zhenbang subconsciously reached out to grab it, but he didn't catch anything, but his action made Wei Chiran and He Changqing know that he also had the same experience.

Wei Chiran looked at Hou Zhenbang, but Hou Zhenbang looked at him with inquiring eyes, and Wei Chiran had to say: "There is nothing behind you, I can see it clearly." ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "I didn't catch anything either, but I felt that someone was patting me, as if it was a hand." ”

Wei Chi nodded: "Let's think it's haunted, maybe this ghost bride wants to scare us......"

As soon as he said this, Wei Chiran thought of something, and he hurriedly asked, "Master, which shoulder were you patted on just now?" ”

He Changqing said: "Right shoulder." ”

Wei Chiran looked at Hou Zhenbang again: "You were also on your right shoulder before, right?" ”

After Hou Zhenbang nodded, Wei Chiran said: "I was also patted on my right shoulder, why only my right shoulder?" ”

As he spoke, Wei Chiran walked behind the ghost beam and carefully observed it with a flashlight, but there were no useful clues.

Could it be that I was wrong?

Hou Zhenbang asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Wei Chiran explained: "If there really is a ghost, I mean if, then is this ghost telling us something?" Maybe it's giving a clue. ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "Maybe it's scaring us, or it's causing us to deviate from the clue." ”

Wei Chi disagreed: "If this so-called ghost wants to harm us, don't remind us, let us continue to move forward, when the three of us walked here, the master was the first to be patted on the shoulder, can it be understood that this so-called ghost is reminding us not to move forward, and then you and I are patted again, is it reminding us to go to see the right shoulder of the skeleton on the ghost's bundle?" ”

He Changqing looked closer, carefully shining a flashlight, but did not find any clues on the shoulder of the skeleton.

Wei Chiran searched carefully for a while, and even he began to wonder if he had misunderstood.

Suddenly, Wei Chiran's shoulder was slapped by something again, and this time he felt it very clearly, it was a hand, definitely a hand patting himself, and it was patting from behind.

"Hands, shoulders." Wei Chi Chi said to himself, "If it's from behind, if this person is not left-handed, then it should be the right hand, the right hand to find the bones!" Fast! ”

The lieutenant squatted down and looked at the skeleton's right hand, and sure enough, he found that the middle finger of the skeleton's right hand was missing.

Wei Chiran held the hand bone and said, "Why is only one middle finger missing?" ”

Hou Zhenbang said: "The meaning of each representative of the five fingers is different. ”

The thumb is the head of the five fingers, the thumb is the king, and the rest of the fingers are ministers, the thumb belongs to the soil in the five elements, and the viscera represents the spleen; The index finger belongs to wood in the five elements, representing the liver; The five elements of the middle finger belong to fire, which represents the heart; The five elements of the ring finger belong to gold, which represents the lungs; The five elements of the little finger belong to water and represent the kidneys.

After listening to this, Wei Chiran said: "In other words, the lack of a middle finger means that it is either related to fire or heart?" ”

After speaking, Wei Chiran watched He Changqing raise his middle finger towards him: "Is that what you mean?" ”

If it weren't for my master, I would have hammered you to death. Wei Chiran thought so in his heart, but his expression remained smiling.

Hou Zhenbang shined a flashlight on the inside of the skeleton: "Eh, you see, the organs of this skeleton seem to be all there, and they should have been soaked in medicine, although they are all dry, they are not rotten, and they are still hanging inside." ”

Wei Chi Chi looked closer: "I found it before, but I don't understand what it means, now I understand, you see, all organs are there, but the heart is missing." ”
