"Then why is this happening now?" asked Stygian continued.

"That's because on the basis of the mass grave here, someone planted laurel trees as a cover, and set up a trap, planted according to a certain formation, confusing people, forming a protective barrier, if someone breaks in, and the formation is destroyed, it will also touch the mechanism. "I also had the patience to explain.

"Why don't you want people to know?" Scarlet blurted out.

"In ancient times, in addition to the royal tombs, there were only a few possibilities for the reason for becoming a forbidden place, one was that there was something similar to a prophecy in this place, which was very unfavorable to the leaders of the time, but it could not be destroyed, in order to prevent the world and the leaders who opposed the time from knowing, so that place could only be made a forbidden place, second, that place was an unknown place, third, a place where treasures were hidden, and fourth, a secret passage and secret room for the royal family to escape; the owner of the ancient tomb discovered the secret, so he built an ancient tomb here, and set up a mass grave on the upper floor of the ancient tomb to the ground where we are now。 And after the battle we heard about, it would become a forbidden place, apparently someone also discovered this secret at that time, so on the basis of the mass grave, planted laurel trees as a cover, and set up a mechanism, planted according to a certain formation, confused people, and formed a perimeter protective barrier. ”

"I see. Then why can't we find out why?"

"Normally, ghost fire is just a chemical reaction, but here is not only the ghost fire of chemical reaction, but also the green light produced by the decomposition of the corpse, of course, I can't find the reason. Seeing such a ghost fire here means that we are not far from the destination we are going to reach. ”

I looked around again, thought for a while, and then said to the Nine-Tails, "Nine-Tails, go find your way." ”

Having received the order, the Nine-Tails went to the neighborhood to find a way, and a few of us looked around in a small area again. It didn't take long for the Nine-Tails to return, and then they led the way ahead of us, and the closer we got closer, the colder it became, and the smell in the air grew heavier.

Walking through the forest, into the depths of the forest, there were no towering ancient trees like in the previous place, and there were few other plants, and the more you walked, the more white bones and carrion you saw, and some of the corpses had not completely decomposed for so long because of the climate here. After walking for a short time, a huge pit appeared in front of us, and in the pit there were many white bones and some slightly decomposed corpses, mixed with some half-rotten corpses, revealing the white bones, and emitting bursts of green light, which could be described as a lack of grass in the vicinity.

The beast, which was originally quite quiet, suddenly became irritable, and ran in one direction, seeing that the situation was not good, we all followed, and found that something was wrong on the wall of a mountain connected to Guishan, it seemed that something was on it, and I walked into some, only to see clearly, it turned out to be the pattern of the ghost (xiu). I really admire the people of ancient times, I really didn't expect that the people at that time had such technology.

"I remember hearing that this place is called 'Katsura Mountain' because when you pass by this neighborhood, you always smell the aroma of osmanthus flowers. Later, I don't know who said that this mountain should be called 'Ghost Mountain', and gradually, many versions of why it was called 'Ghost Mountain' were spread. Now I finally understand. "Stygian Yang somewhat understood.

"It's all because of the ghost word xiu. "I say it directly.

"I think the reason why this place became a mass grave, and why the tomb was set here, is because of this pattern of ghost (xiu), which can be used as an excuse to use superstition and other arguments to make this place a forbidden place, which definitely outweighed the disadvantages for the rulers of the time. Bai Shenghuang blurted out, and said his thoughts without thinking about it.

"But why has this only happened until now?" Stygian Yang was puzzled.

"Did anything happen before the ghost fire?" I asked Stygian.

"Oh, I've heard that a group of people came in here before, as if they were looking for something, but since they entered here, they haven't been there. The reason why no one pays attention to this is because the mountain is so mysterious to the villagers, so it is not surprising that something strange happens in the mountain. ”

"I think it's because these people have touched the mechanism hidden in this Xiu pattern. "I had some doubts in my mind.

"How could there be such a mechanism?" Stygian Yang did not believe that such technology existed in ancient times.

"Why not?" I asked rhetorically, and then added: "In China's thousands of years of history, I don't know how many things have been produced and how many things that are unparalleled in the world, even with today's technology, cannot be achieved. ”

"In the pattern of the ghost lodge (xiu) on the mountain, each point is a mechanism. Pei Yilin said what he thought.

"What should I do then?" Stygian blurted out.

"Each point is a mechanism, but it cancels each other out, and if you deal with it as a whole, you will naturally not touch the mechanism, but it will cause a great shock. ”

"Xiu, there is really you, even this can be thought of. Bai Shenghuang smiled.

"What are you going to do? You're the only one of us who can do that. Pei Yilin's words hit the nail on the head.

"You stay here, I'll go. After speaking, you started to act, and Feimeng flew up with me.

However, it is the same as I guessed, but even if it is dealt with as a whole, it has caused a lot of shock, but with Pei Yilin's ability, there is absolutely no problem. After the shaking stopped, a cave was revealed in the mountain wall, and several people entered the cave together in a tacit understanding.

At the entrance of the cave, you can only see the scenery within a few meters of the surrounding area by the sun's rays, and from the entrance of this cave, it is supposed to be built on the basis of a natural cave. After some inspection, he continued to move on, and the further he went, the less light he went, the only way he could catch the flashlight, and after walking some distance, a staircase appeared, and this staircase was down the mountain, somewhat steep.

Walking down the staircase, both sides of the staircase were equipped with bronze lampstands, and the further down the staircase, the more sparse the light became, and at this time, seeing that the oil lamps on the lampstand had not been used up, the sun proposed: "How about we light the oil lamps on the lampstand and turn off the flashlight? ”

"If you know what kind of oil these oil lamps are, you won't be able to say how light they are. I glanced at the sun, and then at the oil in the oil lamp, and the corners of my mouth curled.

"Isn't it ordinary lamp oil?"

"The oil in this oil lamp ......," I paused deliberately, and then added, "Actually, it's corpse oil, and these oil lamps may also be mechanisms." ”

"That's it. ”
