When I saw the door and was about to go down, Su Xuanke grabbed me and said, "Wait." ”

Then he glanced at Senior Sister Xuanji and said, "The couplet reads: There is no way to heaven, and there is a gate to hell." If we go down now, we will go to hell, and then we will want to go back to this so-called heaven, and there is no way at all. ”

Senior Sister Xuanji comprehended, took out an ink fountain from the cloth bag she was carrying, and saw that it was not black ink, but red. Senior Sister Xuanji handed it to me and said, "There is chicken blood in this ink warehouse. You pull the ink line, go to the outside to find a stone, tie the line to it, and then put the stone outside the boundary of this space, if we go to the lower level, even if we are trapped, we can go out along the ink line, and we will not be trapped inside. ”

I was a little puzzled, and Senior Sister Xuanji explained: "Since ancient times, all measuring instruments, such as rules, rulers, ink fountains, etc., represent the fairness of measurement, and also have the effect of warding off evil spirits. There is a legend in ancient times that if you measure a ghost with a ruler, the more you measure the ghost, the shorter it will become.

If the space begins to collapse, the space around the ink line will exist for some more time, and we can follow the ink line and come back to the outside, now do you understand? ”

I nodded, and Sister Xuanji handed me the ink thread cone, she turned the thread wheel, the ink thread began to lengthen, and I led the ink thread out the door.

I found the stone, wrapped the ink thread around it, then walked to the steps, placed the stone on the steps under the paper ash, and then returned to the ancestral hall.

At this time, Su Xuanke seemed to be talking to Senior Sister about something, and when she saw me coming in, Senior Sister Xuanji asked, "Do you have any legends about Zhang Yuanzhi here?" Like painting or something? ”

I shook my head and said, "I used to say that the story of Zhang Yuanzhi's hard work and finally marrying the person he liked was all about educating our children, but I haven't heard anything else. ”

It occurred to me that she asked if it was because of the red auspicious clouds painted around it, and these paintings were also strange, why could they move under the candlelight?

Before I could ask, Su Xuanke motioned for everyone to go down.

He walked in front, carrying a lantern, I was in the middle, flashlight, and Senior Sister Xuanji walked at the end, turning the wire wheel and releasing the line as she went.

The passage inside the door is in a certain arc downward, and there are colorful paints painted on both sides, and Sister Xuanji explained: "The ancients believed that the rainbow was a fairy bridge to the sky, and I think most of this place was also built according to this, and the pigments on both sides imply that we are walking on the rainbow." ”

After walking down more than a dozen steps, he saw a bright light in front of him, Su Xuanke stopped and said softly: "The evil qi in front is very heavy, be vigilant, I'll take a look first." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji and I both stopped halfway, and saw Su Xuanke carrying a lantern and walking forward with strange steps, as if he was singing.

I turned my head to look at Senior Sister Xuanji, who sighed and said, "Your curiosity is really heavy, and you want to ask everything." Xuan Ke walked Yu steps, created by Xia Yu, and the steps were arranged according to the Big Dipper, which can gather qi and concentrate. ”

Sometimes I feel that Senior Sister Xuanji really understands me well, as if she can see through my heart.

At this time, Su Xuanke's voice came from the front, and he could go in.

I turned on my flashlight and walked down.

I saw this passage, and the front suddenly opened up, and below was a large secret room, and on the walls hung many paintings, all of which were painted with human figures, and in front of each painting was a permanent lamp, and candles were burned.

I looked back at the passage we came into, it was a big black hole in the wall, and now it began to collapse, fortunately, there was an ink line, and when it collapsed to a diameter of about one meter, it basically didn't move, and Sister Xuanji put the ink fountain next to me and said to me, "Wait a minute, we're going to climb out of this hole." ”

I nodded, and turned my head to look at the wall inside the secret room, there were a man and a woman, the man was dressed in Qing Dynasty court clothes, and the women were also Qing Dynasty women's clothes.

Senior Sister Xuanji looked at the two pictures and said, "This should be Zhang Yuanzhi and his wife Qiao." ”

Su Xuanke looked around vigilantly and said, "I feel that the evil aura here is very heavy, but I can't feel the aura, I really don't know why?" ”

Senior Sister Xuanji also observed carefully, and suddenly walked to the front of the burning lantern, looked at the lamp, and said, "This is not an ordinary lantern. ”

I saw that what was in those lamps was not kerosene or anything like that, but a kind of white grease, like lard solidifying, Su Xuanke dipped it with his hand, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said, "This is corpse oil." ”

Su Xuanke looked around and asked himself, "Could this be the source of the evil qi?" ”

Senior Sister Xuanji then asked, "Do you have a feeling that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us?" ”

When she said this, I also felt a chill, as if all the people in the painting came to life, as if they were staring at us.

Su Xuanke hurriedly tore the lantern apart, took out the candle inside, looked at the white wax, and said, "The candle in here is also made of corpse oil. ”

I was a little frightened, and Suxuank shouted at us, "Get close to the passageway." The evil spirit is getting heavier and heavier. No, go up through that exit first. ”

Senior Sister Xuanji and I both returned to the front of the passage, and Su Xuanke approached the Changming lantern, observed it carefully, and said, "This lamp seems to be connected below." As he spoke, he pulled it hard, but he couldn't pull it out at all.

Senior Sister Xuanji hurriedly said, "Xuanke, look at the back of the painting." ”

Su Xuanke tore off the painting next to him, only to see that there was a cave cave behind him, and there was a corpse standing in the cave grotto, dressed in the Qing Dynasty, the corpse was not decomposed, and his face was full of oil, as if a wax figure had been roasted. Under the cave grotto, there is a small hole in the mouth of the bowl, and the grease on the corpse flows into the cave like stalactites.

Su Xuanke tore off the other paintings, and found that behind each portrait, there was a corpse, all covered in grease.

I was stunned by what I saw.

I only heard Senior Sister Xuanji and Su Xuanke, and said in unison: "Eight Fierce Immortal Array." ”

I was questioning, but I saw that the corpse next to me opened its eyes and rushed towards me, but fortunately, Senior Sister Xuanji was quick and pulled me aside.

I secretly rejoiced, but found that the purpose of the corpse was not me at all, but the ink fountain, lying there, showing jagged teeth, as if there was a delicacy in the ink fountain, and I bit the ink fountain and stuffed it into my mouth.

And the ink line was also pulled and broken by the corpse, falling from above, and the passage of the black hole slowly collapsed and closed.

Now, we are going to be trapped and die in this unknown Dao space.

Senior Sister Xuanji and I both walked up to Su Xuanke, hoping that he could protect us, and I asked Senior Sister, "Is this a fraudulent corpse?" I've been dead for hundreds of years. What else is the Eight Fierce Immortal Array? ”

Senior Sister Xuanji looked at the front and said: "Legend has it that in ancient times, Chiyou fought with the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor had a woman named Lu, who used the Qimen Eight Immortal Array to defeat Chiyou. When it appears, it is thousands of miles away. Although she is a hero of the Yellow Emperor, she is cursed by this and is not treated by the world. Later, some people practiced forbidden arts, took people's souls, and made the corpses into eight immortal arrays, among which rest, life, injury, Du, Jing, shock, death, and opening, only one of the eight doors can be released. Therefore, this array is ordered to be the Eight Fierce Immortal Array. ”

Su Xuanke continued: "It seems that Zhang Yuanzhi has really put a lot of thought into protecting this place, and it is estimated that his tomb buried on the mountain is just a mound of clothes. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Then now that the passage above is gone, can I only go through the passage of Shengmen?" ”

Senior Sister Xuanji nodded and said, "But I don't know where that Shengmen leads, and whether it will be a trap again." ”

I regret it, I knew why I came to this troubled water, and besides, Zhang Yuanzhi was also to protect this land, for fear of causing another disaster, he still stayed here after death, and we had nothing to do, why did we come to offend others.

Su Xuanke put the sword wrapped in black cloth on his back in front of him, began to untie the black cloth on it, and said to Senior Sister Xuanji: "Wait until I fight, Senior Sister you will find a way to unlock the birth door." ”

Senior Sister Xuanji nodded and said, "You have to be careful, it's hard to deal with so much." ”

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "So many?" Now that one corpse has been transformed, should the remaining seven also be transformed? ”

Senior Sister Xuanji said: "Eight fierce immortal arrays, use eight corpses, remove the soul, only leave the soul, and move all when you move." Wait a minute, eight zombies. ”

I used to watch zombie movies in my uncle's video hall, and I once asked the master, who said that people have three souls and seven spirits, the soul is dominant, representing consciousness and thought, and the spirit represents action.

The master also gave an example of the Qing Dynasty's "Zi Buyu", which was recorded: a scholar's friend died due to a disaster, he went to collect the corpse to visit, at night, the soul of the deceased came to find the scholar, please ask for the things behind him, the scholar agreed one by one, the deceased left satisfied, did not want to leave one of them, attached to the corpse, deceived as a zombie, and actually chased the scholar. Fortunately, the book has a big life, and he hid in a tree to keep him safe.

But now it's a secret room, and there's not even a place to hide, wait for eight zombies, rely on Su Xuanke to resist alone, in case a zombie rushes and bites me, then won't I also become a zombie like in the movie?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the remaining seven corpses also began to move.
