Chapter 12: The Crystal Chain

Pamela was ahead of the curve, but not very fast, as if she was waiting for us on purpose. We caught up with her, and it didn't take long for us to catch up with her. As Adams had just described, I felt more and more that she seemed mysterious: quick-handed, powerful, and pale and bloodless. For the rest, I don't see anything special.

Looking at the passage we are walking on, it is a bit like a mining passage, and the surroundings are rough. Probably because of the proximity to the sea, the passage was a little dark and damp, and there was even dripping water in some places. The angle of this passage is slightly downward, and it is a subtle downhill slope.

We walked all the way, and after the fight we had just had, we were all a little tired, and neither of us spoke.

The old ghost wears more clothes, the wound is not very deep, and it has been disinfected with alcohol in time, so it is not a big problem. The reason why I limped was because I had just kicked and fell. After walking for a while, I don't need to help me. Adams and Pamela were a couple, walking shoulder to shoulder, Lisa and I walked behind them, and the old ghost at the back.

I don't know if it was because of fear or something else, Lisa kept holding my arm, and I didn't think much of it. But the old ghost was behind, and the vinegar jar was overturned. I always wanted to squeeze up, but I couldn't wait for Lisa to hold his arm. Looking at his appearance, he is willing to let him carry Lisa on his back. But Lisa was angry when she saw him, but she didn't let him go side by side.

The old ghost was so angry that he simply couldn't leave, and sat down on a stone on the side. said, "I'm tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Seeing his reaction, I immediately understood what he meant, and I didn't object. As soon as Adams and the others heard the old ghost say that they wanted to rest, they also stopped, found a rock, and sat down.

The old ghost said, "I really can't walk!" Boss, why don't you carry me? My ass hurts tightly. ”

"Why are you so busy? Brother Fang Yu, let's go, ignore him. This kind of person will kick his nose and get on his face. "I was about to speak, but Lisa was the first to speak.

"Who kicked the nose in the face? Do I want you to carry it? "The old ghost became angry all of a sudden.

"Just say you, just say you. Excrement...... Brilliance. "Lisa is up to the task.

As soon as I saw this stance, I couldn't figure it out to fight. hurriedly dissuaded: "Hey...... Two, stop! Stop, okay? We're all like this now, I don't know if we can't get out, you two still have the heart to pinch each other here? ”

As soon as the old ghost and Wu Lisha were told by me, they both stopped, looking at each other unpleasantly.

I know what the hell the old ghost is doing, so I want to be a favor. said to Lisa: "Lisa, you have to take care of the sick number, don't always have trouble with him." Learn the spirit of Lei Feng and help him. ”

"I don't want it!" Lisa vetoed.

"Who wants her to help! Even if you die here, you won't ask her for help, who is rare! After saying that, the old ghost got up in a huff and left.

Watching the old ghost limp ahead, Lisa stuck her tongue out at me with a wicked grin.

Only then did I understand that this little girl was playing a trick: using the method of agitation to provoke the old ghost. Unexpectedly, the old ghost really fell for this girl's way.

"This kind of person has to use this method." Lisa said.

When we saw that the old ghost was gone, we hurried forward to chase him, otherwise we would be in trouble if we were separated in a while. But he didn't run a few steps before he saw the old ghost standing there still, motionless. We hurriedly walked up to him and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yes, something......" The old ghost pointed ahead and stammered, "Ahead...... Just ...... 'whoosh' and passed in front of me. ”

We looked in the direction he was pointing, but we didn't see anything.

Because of the previous rat tide, everyone was apprehensive, so they were all on guard. In this strange environment, the ghost knows what's there. The five of us just dared to go forward, walking cautiously.

I had just walked a short distance before I noticed that the front was getting wider and wider. Adams shines his camping lamp at the wall and discovers a ring base on the wall with a torch inside. He stretched out his hand and took off the torch extremely carefully, the reason why he was cautious was because he was afraid that some hidden weapon would hurt people. In the general movie plot, this is done. Luckily, nothing.

Lisa quickly pulled out a match and tried to light it. As soon as the match approached, the torch immediately "fluttered" and burned, and the surroundings suddenly became much brighter. Unexpectedly, despite this humid environment, the flammability of this torch is still very strong. In order to save electricity, Adams immediately put away his camping lanterns.

By the light of the fire, we see that there are torches like this on this wall. At intervals, there is a pair, one on each side of the walkway. Moreover, each distance is almost equal. Each of the five of us took a torch and lit them, and the passage was brightly lit.

We followed the direction of the torch and went all the way.

As I walked, I kicked something and it rolled "grunt, grunt". It rolled all the way to Lisa's feet, where she shone it with a torch. Immediately shouted: "Mom! ”

I went over and took a closer look, and it was a white skeleton. I couldn't help but be shocked, so I hurriedly used a torch to shine around. Suddenly I found a person sitting next to the aisle! It should be said that it is an empty skeleton with clothes on. There's no head, and the one I just kicked should be his.

I searched him carefully, but found no clues that could identify him. However, he had two pieces of equipment that were pretty good: a sapper shovel and a Dyneema rope. (Note: The Dyneema rope is the strongest rope in the world, with a diameter of 10mm and a breaking force of about 9 tons, and is often used for mountaineering and other purposes.) )

Both of these are good things, so I accepted them unceremoniously. Then, with his hands folded, he bowed to him. The old ghosts also followed my example and bowed to him. We also paid a big salute to him, so we didn't stay too long and continued to move on.

After walking for about ten minutes, I found that the front was extremely wide, and I vaguely saw that there seemed to be an altar-like field in front of me. When I got closer, I saw something that looked like a brazier. I stretched out my torch and lit it. Just listen to "poof, poof, poof, poof", one brazier is lit, and the next one is lit along a line of fire. Just one after the other lit up, there were four in total.

The five of us were immediately shocked by the sight in front of us: it was a field the size of half a basketball court, and it was full of gold and silver treasures, like a mountain of gold. It's golden, it's not tempting!

The old ghost and Adams immediately shouted, "Get rich!" ”

Adams said excitedly at this time: "What do I say, 'There must be treasures in the ancient house'. How's that, I'm right, right? ”

After saying that, he wanted to touch the gold, but I quickly stopped: "Don't move! ”

I shouted a little louder, and not only Adams, but the other three were startled by me at the same time. Adams was puzzled and asked me, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

"It's a crystal array!" I say it categorically.

"Crystal Chain?" The crowd was puzzled.

"Hmm." I immediately analyzed: "You see, these four braziers surround this field, and in the middle of the field is a perfect circle, and the light in the middle of the perfect circle forms a full five-pointed star. The five corners of the pentagram fall right on the edge of the circle. This is called the 'Five-Star Array', and it is often used in dark magic, and it is a very powerful maze. It has a great similarity with China's five-star formation: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are mutually reinforcing and indispensable. Look at it again, on each corner of this five-pointed star, there is a crystal seven-star array composed of seven crystal balls. ”

"What is the Crystal Seven Star Array?" The old ghost asked, puzzled.

"It is two regular triangles that are staggered and overlapped to form a regular hexagon. A crystal ball is placed in each corner, and a large crystal ball is placed in the middle that is just twice the size, this kind of array is called the 'Crystal Seven Star Array'. In the Buddhist world, there is a 'six-character mantra and seven star array', and this crystal ball is the favorite thing used by Western witches, which can not only predict the future, but also be used to ward off evil spirits and accumulate wealth. ”

"Damn, it's like a expert, how do you know?" The old ghost asked.

"I haven't studied history at all, but I'm particularly interested in some side door history and strange arts. In addition to extracurricular activities, I study and study the five elements gossip, star divination and so on. I've seen these two formations separate, but I haven't seen them together. I said ashamedly.

"No wonder your grades were not good when you went to school, it depends on your kid who doesn't do his job, and he shows his stuff today, right?" Adams chimed in and asked me, "Then tell me, what do you mean by this array?" ”

"In my opinion, this crystal chain array symbolizes 'gathering the qi of the five directions and gathering the wealth of the seven continents', and the seven continents imply the seven continents." Based on my own feelings, I analyzed: "This is a combination of the five elements, the stars, Buddhism and divination, and it perfectly combines Eastern and Western cultures. He's a master! I'm afraid it's not so easy to get the gold and silver in the middle! ”

"Wow, Fang Yu, do you still know divination?" Lisa stretched out her hand to me and said, "Then you can give me a divination to see if I can be with you?" ”

"Don't make a fuss, I just know a little about the surface, just guessing." I don't have time to joke with Lisa.

When Lisa saw me say this, she pouted and took her hand back.

As soon as the old ghost and Adams heard that they couldn't get the gold, they were anxious: "Then we can't leave the gold and not take it, right?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It's not that you don't take it, it's just that you need to break the formation to get it." Otherwise, it will definitely not be so easy to get it if you rush up and take it like this. The devil knows what's going to happen......"

The old ghost picked up a burning wood in the brazier, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he threw the torch towards the "golden mountain" in the array. Who knows, just listen to the "whoosh", and the torch is actually sucked in!

Before I could be surprised, I didn't know where there was an extremely eerie "clucking" laugh. Laughing, we all had a chill swishing cold.

Suddenly, a black shadow "whoosh" and flashed behind us. It's so fast that you can't even see what it is.
