Chapter 83: Puzzle Game
Bai Su saw that the middle-aged man was about to pluck the instrument in his hand again and start singing, so he turned his head and walked to the cemetery in the fence. Cheng Yu was very curious about this uncle, and when he saw that Bai Su had already gone out, he could only follow.
The two walked around the cemetery for a long time, and all the tombstones were the same except for the different inscriptions on them.
It was getting dark.
Staying here before dark is a dangerous thing to do. In desperation, the two turned back to the wooden house, hoping to get some clues from the uncle.
Bai Suqiang endured the unhappiness in his heart, and asked the middle-aged man again: "Uncle, can you tell me what is the mystery of this cemetery?"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to sing again, Bai Su couldn't help but feel angry, and said to Cheng Yu next to him: "You come!"
Cheng Yu patted his chest proudly. It's not in vain that I often go to the treehouse to listen to music, and this is finally where it comes in handy.
This was followed by a long "conversation" between Cheng Yu and the middle-aged man, but fortunately, both of them were full of interest and had the feeling of seeing each other late.
Bai Su finally stopped singing, pulled away the glue-like two, and asked Cheng Yu, "Clues!?"
"Regarding the cemetery, my uncle only sang four sentences to me. β
"You've been singing for so long, and the main topic is only four lines?!"
"You can't blame me then......"
"Get to the point!"
"He sang: 'Life and death, the midnight moon, the ghost fire is lit, and the king of the cemetery appears'"
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Yu spread his hands and said that it was all.
"Well, let's go around again and see what we find that are related to these four sentences."
The two searched around again, but there was still no progress. The tomb is not big, it is not small, and after a few laps, Cheng Yu sat on the ground with some disappointment and leaned on the tombstone behind him.
"You are disrespectful to the deceased like this", Bai Su glared at Cheng Yu.
"Okay, okay, let's see who it is, I'll burn incense for him when I go back", Cheng Yu turned his head and saw that the tombstone read: [I gave birth to ten children and I am the queen's family].
"Poor woman......"
"Patriarchal on the emotional side...... Wait!What do you say again?" Cheng Yu suddenly stood up excitedly.
"Gave birth to ......"
"That's right, it's 'life'! The first word of 'life and death', quick, let's go and see other tombstones."
As if they had discovered a new continent, the two of them looked at each tombstone, and finally found four distinctive inscriptions on the four corners of the cemetery. In addition to the one above, the other three are [Death is as light as a feather in time], [Leave me, the living dead Lin Chaoying], and [Don't talk to strangers Song Dingbo].
"Life and death are parting. Midnight Moon...... It's almost midnight. But what does it have to do with these tombstones?" Cheng Yu walked around the tombstones.
The moon had slowly risen, and the floor of the cemetery was covered with cemetery moss, and there was a faint green light.
Cheng Yu looked up at the moon in the sky and couldn't think of a reason. Looking at Bai Su next to her, she also looked up at the moon, the moonlight poured on her body, covering her with a soft halo, and the expression on her face was so serious......
I feel that if there is background music, it will become gentle at this time.
Cheng Yu came back to his senses, and his neck twisted painfully. He lowered his head and pinched it with his hand, but suddenly found that there were scratches on the moss of the cemetery in the circular area with the diameter of this tombstone under his feetβmarks that were difficult to find during the day.
"Look!" Cheng Yu shouted at Bai Su, pointing to the anomaly on the ground.
At this time, it was midnight, and the moon was in the sky. Bai Su came over and looked at the scratches on the ground carefully, "These tombstones can be rotated, and if you look at the places where the traces go, each tombstone should be turned towards the moon in the sky, which is also the second line of the song." β
"Ahh Cheng Yu deliberately let Bai Su tell him about this discovery. Horse pat is a universal method, and it is also a profound science.
The two of them laboriously turned all four tombstones to the moon in the sky. As soon as they got up to catch their breath, there was a sudden rumbling in the middle of the cemetery, and when the two of them walked to the middle, they saw that a large pit had been opened in the ground, and a fine sarcophagus was lying quietly in it.
"It should be in here, open it," Bai Su said.
"Aren't there two more sentences?"
"We can't do so much, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us. β
Cheng Yu wanted to say something, but Bai Su had already jumped down, waved the long whip in his hand and rolled it over.
The sarcophagus was not damaged at all, and Bai Su was shocked and flew a few meters away. After Bai Su stood still, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward again. Cheng Yu hurriedly grabbed her, "It's all come to this point, and you can't solve the problem if you come hard." β
"Hmph, you know the afterthought. β
"Ghost fire is ignited, I've seen it in books before, burning bones can produce ghost fire, why don't we try it. β
Cheng Yu saw that Bai Su didn't move, and knew that women were afraid of getting dirty, so he went out to pick up some animal bones outside and piled them next to the big pit in the middle of the cemetery.
Bai Su covered the pile of bones with one palm, and the palm of his hand began to slowly turn red, and the bones below began to squeak softly.
"Okay", Cheng Yu saw that it was almost over, and reached out to pull Bai Su back.
The pile of bones began to slowly emit cyan flames, becoming more and more vigorous, and the ghost fire swayed, and for a while, the surrounding air became very strange. The moon in the sky hid, and the whole cemetery became invisible.
Judging from the four lines of the song just now, it's time for the main lord to appear!
Sure enough, as the bone fire slowly burned out, the sarcophagus moved, and the lid on it slowly moved to the side.
At the moment when the cyan flame was extinguished, the sarcophagus suddenly opened, and a headless skeleton jumped out, glowing in the dark night, and suddenly, with a "bang", it burned.
All of this was a matter of lightning, and as soon as the two of them reacted, the skeleton rushed towards the two, claws grabbing Cheng Yu's head. Cheng Yu flashed to the rear, and Bai Su greeted him with a whip and fought with the skeleton.
The flames on the skeleton's body were very domineering, Bai Su's long whip had already been burned to a few pieces, and he could have dodged the skull's claws several times, but the light helmet on his body had been damaged in many places.
The skeleton's moves often don't follow common sense, you just dodged the claw attack of your left arm, and suddenly, its right arm took off its left arm and stabbed it as a weapon, Bai Su has already suffered several dark losses for this. Fortunately, the armor on his body is also extraordinary, and after becoming familiar with the skeleton's routines, he can gradually cope with it.
Cheng Yu observed on the side for a while, although the skeleton's body was very hard, but the joints didn't look very strong, and he hurriedly shouted at Bai Su: "Hit its bone joints, break it up!"
Hearing this, Bai Su attacked a few moves, then pulled back the distance from the skeleton, took out a few blessed Buddha beads on his waist, and shot towards the joints of the skeleton. The bead was impartial and hit right at the junction between the left foot and the body.
After the white light passed, the skeleton shook.
Bai Su saw that the attack worked, and immediately the Buddha beads were fired in succession, each hitting the joints of the skeleton.
The skeletons were scattered all over the place, slowly ceasing to throb and struggling, and the flames gradually extinguished.
Bai Su chuckled at Cheng Yu, which was regarded as a thank you to him. Just as he was about to pick up the skeleton on the ground, four more skeletons suddenly jumped out of the four tombstones of life, separation, death, and farewell.
