Chapter VII, Eight Tombs

There was a faint light in the mountains, and the road ahead spiraled, as if there was no end.

Cui Hao walked beside me, rubbing his arms, rubbing his hands and complaining.

"Help, it's cold."

In the next second, there was a fan in the jungle, and something swept by.

The surrounding black fog is getting thicker, and the lantern that could illuminate a radius of 10 square meters is gradually shrinking.

The light was compressed by the dense fog and gradually shrank to about five square meters.

Coupled with the black shadows that flashed beside him from time to time, Cui Hao couldn't help but take out the magic weapon he was carrying-the glass bottle.

I stared at the treasure in his hand, and only sighed that the fat man's shot was not ordinary.

The glass bottle is a treasure.

It is said that in ancient times, an emperor used the glass paid tribute from the Western Regions, and the smelting method was offered by a warlock, and the wine bottle was forged by metal.

Its outer layer is brilliant and extremely seductive.

The outer layer of the glass bottle is divided into eight pieces, and each piece of glass has a hidden mechanism, including eight kinds of medicinal powder, such as soul hook powder, psychedelic smoke, etc.

These eight powders can charm the soul, create illusions, decay the body, etc., and have eight different effects.

This glass bottle was originally used as a self-defense object for the emperor.

It was only later that due to the war, the glass bottle traveled all over the world and spread to many people.

After some accidents, it finally came to Cui Hao's hands again.

And he can't put down this glass bottle, and has always regarded it as a personal belonging, taking it with him to resist the crisis.

Now that this thing is taken out, Cui Hao must also be aware of the danger.

"Little Manye, it's been nearly an hour since I walked, and the fat man's ankles are about to swell, why haven't you arrived yet?"

Cui Hao looked at the dense and deep fog around him, and he had long lost his patience.

I shrugged my shoulders and looked up the hill.

We are still at least half a distance from the top of the mountain, and it is indeed not easy to find the Yin and Yang Tomb.

After a mile of walking, the fog around me was already thick like a barrier, and my lantern could only shine on the square inch around me.

It was dark and dark, and Cui Hao's flashlight had long been useless in the middle of the road.

Not even half a minute of light could be emitted.

At this time, the mountain wind was cold, and we could faintly hear the footsteps of Suo Suo around us.

It was as if several figures were circling around us, as if they were thinking about whether to do anything to the two of us.

"Little Manye, why do I feel a chill in my back spine, as if I am being targeted by something."

As he spoke, Cui Hao turned around and was about to turn back.

"Don't move."

I let out a low sigh.

However, it was still too late, Cui Hao turned his head to look behind him with a blank face, and looked back at me again.

"What?"

I sighed and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, let's carry it on our backs! Don't look back, with your physique, three is the upper limit. Do it again, and you'll be ready for the future. ”

Cui Hao was trembling by what I said.

He couldn't help but glance at his back with his peripheral vision.

"Little Manye, there's nothing!"

Cui Hao suddenly relaxed and reached out to wrap his hand around my shoulder.

"Don't scare me, I can't see anything in this pitch black, my soul was almost scared away by you."

I pulled out my gossip mirror and pointed it at his back with an oil lamp.

I clicked on the mirror.

"See for yourself!"

With just one glance, Cui Hao was immediately frightened and turned pale, and he was about to smash the glass bottle on his back.

I hurriedly grabbed his hand and stopped him.

"Don't move, something will happen. Just come with me, and don't look behind me. There are hundreds of people behind us, and every time you look back, you will have another one on your back. ”

With the help of the gossip mirror, I glanced at Cui Hao and the mountain road behind us again.

On Cui Hao's back, there was a pitch-black figure lying on his stomach.

The figure looked about a meter tall, thin, and looked like it had fallen into a coal pile, dyed pitch black.

But only those eyes shimmered scarlet. There was a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth, revealing a row of withered yellow sharp teeth.

And on the mountain road behind us, similar black shadows lined up in a long line, hidden in the mountain fog.

Although I can only see two or three.

But I knew that behind us, there were at least hundreds of them waiting to get on the two of us.

They need someone as an extradition to take them out of the yin and yang grave.

Otherwise, you will inevitably be trapped here for the rest of your life and become a lonely ghost here.

There is no way to return to the world.

Cui Hao's teeth chattered.

"Little Manye, what do you mean? If you don't let me kill this guy, will you let him continue to lie on my back? ”

I shook my head.

"Do you know why the two of us are standing here intact? That's because the two of us don't usually kill on our bodies. ”

I gently patted him on the shoulder.

"But if you scatter this soul, the ones behind you will no longer be merciful to your men, and you will be like a lamb without the protection of a shepherd dog, and you can only be slaughtered by them."

That's all I'm talking about, anyway.

If Cui Hao can listen and is willing to do what I say, then I will naturally try my best not to let him have an accident.

But if Cui Hao insists on following his own ideas, then I can only give up on him and go to the yin and yang grave by myself.

Cui Hao grinned and gritted his teeth.

"Okay, little man. I'll believe you once, let's go! ”

We circled up the trail for about five hours.

It wasn't until the light of the lantern in my hand was completely extinguished that the two of us could only move forward in the dark.

But fortunately, on this road, it can be regarded as peace.

When we stood on the top of the hill, our eyes flickered.

The sun had already risen in the sky, and the faint floating light had dyed the originally thick black fog along the mountain into gray.

In the distance, a huge lonely grave stands in the middle of the mountaintop.

On each side of the lonely grave were tattered white sails, and next to them were scattered some paper money that had been corroded by the wind, and only half of it was left.

Obviously, before we came, someone should have gone up the mountain and paid homage to the souls of the dead here.

It's a pity that time has passed, and judging by the degree of damage to these things, at least they are all decades old.

Cui Hao stopped after seeing the tombstone.

He stared at me nervously, as if he wasn't sure whether to move on.

"Keep going, it's not time to be dangerous. The most feared thing about the Yin and Yang Tomb is the mountain ghosts on the mountain road, that is, the section of the road to the tomb. ”

I pointed to the huge stone monument in front of me.

"Once you're in, that's the real challenge. It's not too dangerous yet, so don't waste time. ”

I didn't want to say more, so I turned and walked on.

Cui Hao followed.

The two of us went to the stele.

In the center of the stele are three big characters "Yin and Yang Tomb"!

It looks like we've reached our destination.

The eight directions outside the Yin and Yang Tomb are hovering around the eight stone tablets.

It's just that these steles have the same specifications as normal people's tombstones, but there is no name on them, only the date of death.

And although these dates are different in different years, each time they are people who died on the day of the Spring Festival.

Cui Hao's eyes darkened.

"I've heard of this, the eight tombs are set on the monument, and the monument is fierce, mortals can't enter, and the dead can't escape!"

I nodded.

I have heard that there are eight tombstones on this yin and yang tomb, which was originally only a legend.

It's just that now it seems that this place is indeed dangerous.

Cui Hao sighed.

"Little Manye, this thing is not easy to deal with. If we hadn't completed the eight tombs, we wouldn't have been able to open the Jozan Stone Monument in the center. Then let's not talk about going to the Yin and Yang Tomb and finding the corpse clothes. ”

I was so worried that I could only circle around the eight tombs twice.

I tried to raise my leg and take a step forward.

It's just that just as he was approaching the wordless stele that left his position, the soil under his feet suddenly dried up.

A blaze rose and rushed towards me along the tombstone.

If I hadn't dodged quickly, the heat would have turned me into a puddle of thick water.

"I'll go, so fierce?"

Cui Hao was obviously also taken aback, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

But I have a bottom in my heart.

In this way, eighty percent of these eight stone tablets are laid out according to the Bagua Formation.

Yin and Yang have gossip.

The gossip is above the azimuth and points in eight directions.

The east is the earthquake, and the southeast is Xun.

The south is Li, and the southwest is Kun.

The west is due, and the northwest is dry.

The north is Kan, and the northeast is Gen.

Bagua is divided into eight directions, and each hexagram also represents a different element.

The sky is full of earth, and the thunder is in the mountains.

Away from the fire and water, with the wind of Zexun.

So what I just came into contact with was a departure from the south, so the cup spewed fire.

I thought about it for a moment, and turned to the tombstone to the east.

As expected.

Lightning billowed under the center of the tombstone, and a cluster of blue light continued to explode, and a beam of thunder instantly slashed at my feet.

I had been prepared for a long time, so I evacuated quickly, so that it was not affected.

Cui Hao was stunned by everything in front of him.

"Corresponding gossip?"

Obviously, he also figured out the five elements of gossip.

I nodded, and reached out to the eight tombstones.

"Fatty, is there a solution to this? If we can't find the gap and enter the Jozan Monument, the two of us will have to die on the top of the mountain. ”

Cui Hao was taken aback by me.

"Little Man, why are you talking so unlucky?"

He stretched out his hand and pointed down the mountain.

"There are few corpses, but we can think about it in the long run. You don't have to defend this place, you have to live or die! ”

I glared at him speechlessly.

"Cui Hao, then you can try to go down the mountain and take two steps, let's go! I'm waiting for you right here. ”

Cui Hao seems to be in trouble with me.

Hearing me say this, he turned his head and followed the path, heading up the stone steps.

After a while, it completely disappeared into the thick fog and was out of sight.

I pulled out a cigarette and counted it silently in my heart.

When I counted to the 100th time, Cui Hao's face was pale, and he walked up the hill down the trail as if he had seen a ghost.

"I'm Nima, Xiao Manye, what you said is right, I really can't go down."

After walking around, it turned out to be back again.

I took a puff on my cigarette and silently got up and walked to the stele.

"The mountain road is tortuous, the mountain ghosts are haunting, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down."

"If we can't break the curse of the Yin and Yang Tomb, the two of us will also become part of the curse, Cui Hao, I don't plan to go back alive!"
