In the dark, Chu Xunyu turned his face and asked coldly, "You two, what does it have to do with this ghost?"

"What?" Guanyue was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Chu Xunyu to suddenly ask such a question, but she still replied with a smile: "Why did Brother Chu ask such a question, we don't have any other intentions." ”

"Nothing else?" Chu Xunyu sneered: "Then I'm going to ask, when did the people in the Demon Gate become so interested in saving mortals? ”

Mei Wan sighed softly and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Guanyue, let's tell the truth, after all, it's not a big deal, so as not to cause misunderstanding." ”

Guanyue shook her head helplessly and said: "Brother Chu really misunderstood, we didn't have any other intentions, originally we had already found out about this matter yesterday, and knew that there were resentful buds in the vicinity, we knew that with the character of Brother Chu and Wangchen's predecessors, they would inevitably come here to check carefully, we didn't want to do much, after all, finding that lamp was the primary goal, so we kept it a secret." When Shang Qian talked about this matter today, everyone came, and my sister and I knew that this matter couldn't be concluded like this. At first, we thought that it was just a few demon villains casting spells here, so we wanted to come down first, and directly clean up these people, so as not to delay our goal, who knew that when we came down, things were not as simple as we thought, but it caused Brother Chu's misunderstanding, this is the original beginning and end, I hope not to bring any estrangement between us. ”

"It's such a simple reason?" Chu Xunyu asked with some disbelieving.

"That's true. Guanyue nodded and said, "If Brother Chu doesn't believe it, the two of us can make a demon oath for this matter to prove our innocence." ”

"Okay, then swear an oath. Chu Xunyu replied with an unchanged face.

"What? Siyi Daoyou, don't deceive people too much, don't you believe us? You know that the demon oath cannot be taken lightly" Mei Wan said angrily, and her tactful voice echoed in the dark passage for a long time.

"Since you are telling the truth, why don't you dare to stand up?" Chu Xunyu looked at Mei Wan in the dark, and suddenly his face changed, and said, "Unless, what you say is false." ”

"There is no fraud. Guanyue said with a bitter smile: "Our words are true, the purpose of coming down is nothing more than to quickly solve this place, but I didn't expect this matter to be very strange." I hope Brother Chu believes in us. ”

"Believe you, are you joking?" Chu Xunyu let out a chuckle in the darkness and asked rhetorically: "Along the way, you Hongdaomen people have always been following us, such a move, now tell me trust?

When Mei Wan heard this, she couldn't help but be angry, and she wanted to say something, at this time, Guanyue grabbed her sleeve and said, "Whether you believe it or not, but now it seems that the current matter does have something to do with us." ”

"Oh, is this time to be honest?"

"No," Guanyue shook her head and said, "Brother Chu, please see, aren't the eyes depicted on this ghost-headed stone statue exactly the pattern on the black lamp? ”

After a pause, Guanyue continued: "The question at the moment is whether Brother Chu wants to go in and have a look, to see what the story is behind this, if not, then we will go out now, and we are thinking about it." If you want to go in and have a look, then let's not discuss any credit issues here, and find a way to get in first. ”

Chu Xunyu turned his head, in the dark, and looked at the ghost head, that thing seemed to be staring at him with triangular eyes, sneering at something, he had long wanted to go in and take a look, but the two people in front of him were also a trouble, and they couldn't have any impact on themselves. He turned his head and said, "So, what do you two say about this mark now?"

"It's not clear. Mei Wan said: "My father has never mentioned to me the meaning of this stone statue, and the surprise in my heart when I saw this stone statue at first glance just now is probably no less than that of Senior Brother Chu, so I think it is imperative that we join hands to go in and see, if we think of any clues, we will tell Senior Brother Chu about you, please rest assured of this." ”

"Not bad," Guanyue also nodded approvingly: "If you want to go in and see the situation inside, I'm afraid that Brother Chu is more anxious than any of us, so we can't delay on other issues, if we have a contradiction now, we will inevitably fight, and when the time comes, both sides will lose, such a situation is undesirable for both of us, and please Brother Chu must believe us." ”

Chu Xunyu looked at the stone statue, in this small dark passage, the stone statue was always staring at everyone. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I trust you, but if there are any clues, be sure to tell them." If there are any other thoughts that I have discovered, don't blame Chu for turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

"No, let's see what we're looking at. Guanyue nodded.

At this time, everyone was looking at the chains of the ghost head, and they were much more careful, and the chains on both sides of the darkness were engraved with the Chinese characters of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Kun, Gen, Kan, and Xun, at this time, Mei Wan chuckled: "Isn't this Zhou Yi gossip, it's very simple, turn it in the right direction, and it can be opened." ”

Chu Xunyu shook his head and said: "Although there is gossip, it is not Zhou Yi, in my opinion, it may be Guizang Yi." ”

"Easy to collect?"

"That's right," Chu Xunyu continued: "Zhou Yi's gossip order is this Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Kun, Gen, Kan, Xun, but what is engraved here is the opposite, in my opinion, it may be Guizang Yi." ”

"Everyone says that there are three easy points, which are "Lianshan", "Returning to Tibet", and "Zhou Yi". The first two have been lost before they reach the Han Dynasty, how can there be here, I'm afraid this lock is not easy to open. Guanyue said in surprise.

"In that case, we can just use the Dao method to blast open this lock. Mei Wan proposed.

"Stupid way," Chu Xunyu replied contemptuously: "We don't have a sense here, so we don't know what is behind this wall, just blast it open, who knows what will happen inside." ”

"How about that?" Mei Wan asked rhetorically: "If this is something that has been lost a long time ago, how can it be opened?"

"I believe that Brother Chu came from the ancient family, I'm afraid there is a way to do it a long time ago. Guanyue smiled easily at this time.

"That's right," Chu Xunyu replied with a calm face: "There are records in the classics at home, although they have been lost for a long time and are not too detailed, but it is more than enough to unlock this lock." ”

"Oh?" Guanyue nodded, "Then we will have the honor of seeing Brother Chu's methods." ”

Chu Xunyu didn't say anything, approached the stone statue, stretched out his hands, touched the iron rings on both sides, suddenly turned his head, and said in a cold voice: "Finally, I am saying one more thing, no one knows what is behind this door, it is my own way in, if there is any danger here, it is no wonder that others." ”

"No, no. Mei Wan said lightly.

Chu Xunyu nodded, turned to look at the ring, and said secretly: "This Guizang Yi hexagram is the opposite, it is Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun. Respectively, correspond to the return, hidden, born, move, long, educate, stop, kill eight doors, here to listen to the resentment buds, indicating that there are many killings, it should be the left side of the gold kill, corresponding to the exchange, the right side of the killing corpse, symbolizing repeatedly, killing unbearable, killing and fighting, open. ”

As the sound fell, Chu Xunyu turned the direction of the largest iron rings on both sides at the same time, only to hear a click, the iron hooks at the corners of the mouth on both sides of the stone statue were released, and the stone beam in his mouth was also released at the same time, falling to the ground, jumping back and forth a few times, and there was no sound.

"That's it?" Guanyue looked around, unchanged, and asked, "That's it?"

At this time, Chu Xunyu himself was also looking around suspiciously, it stands to reason that this lock is opened, no problem, it should be the right method, but there is no movement around.

When everyone was looking around, a sparse sound of falling soil came into their ears, and everyone looked at the source of the sound in the dark, it turned out that the sealed soil behind the ghost head stone statue was slowly falling, and suddenly, the ghost head was loosened, with a muffled sound, and it fell to the ground. In the original mosaic, there is an extra black hole. Along the upper and lower ends, the stone wall began to slowly loosen, falling endless dust, and with a creaking gasp, it gradually opened up in the darkness.

The stone wall is divided into two sides, the more open and bigger, with endless dust drifting around, a burst of fishy smell rushed to the face, the three of them hurriedly covered their noses, stood back, and when the dust dissipated, everyone looked inside carefully, but it was dark inside, and it vaguely seemed that there were a lot of things inside.

Chu Xunyu touched the long sword and said, "Let's go." He turned around and went in, and Guanyue and Meiwan immediately followed. This is a boxy room, not big, but it is full of things, and before I can see what it is, Mei Wan seems to see a chair next to her in the dark, on which a ring-shaped object is placed, curious, so she picks it up, and looks closely at the darkness, it is a small iron ring, and there are many wooden nails stuck in it. Somewhat strange, he asked, "What is this?"

When Guanyue heard the voice, she turned to look sideways, was taken aback, and said, "Is this a 'wedge hoop'?"

Chu Xunyu also turned his head in surprise, looked at it, and said strangely: "It's really a wedge hoop." ”

Mei Wan asked curiously, "What is a wedge hoop?"

Guanyue replied: "In ancient times, this iron ring was put on a person's head, and then a wooden wedge and a wooden nail were inserted into the space between the iron ring and the scalp, and then a hammer was struck so hard that the victim had a splitting headache until finally his brain overflowed and died. This is a kind of torture instrument used on prisoners in the Tang Dynasty. ”

When Mei Wan heard this, she felt nauseous, and quickly put the ring back in place, and secretly rubbed her little hands, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when she lowered her head, she screamed, which was particularly harsh in this darkness, and she saw that her hands were stained with a little red blood, which seemed to be fresh. Guanyue and Chu Xunyu were taken aback, and quickly took out a fire fold and blew it up. A small flame the size of a soybean jumped up, emitting a dim light, and I could barely see the surroundings clearly.

As soon as everyone saw the surroundings, they all had a chill, it turned out that this small room was full of all kinds of torture instruments, some large and some small, and the little blood stains on it had not yet dried up, as if everything that happened here was still yesterday, chiseling, pulling ribs, woks, eye spears, tongue hooks, etc., at a glance, it seemed that the screams of the tortured people were still lingering in the ears. The moon viewing fan was closed, bent down, and looked intently at a pair of foot hooks on the wall, and there was a wisp of fresh minced meat on the hook tip that was about to break.

Guanyue sighed, "What kind of place is this?"

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the fire in Chu Xunyu's hand flashed out, and the room returned to darkness, which was not a good thing. Chu Xunyu's heart tightened, and he said secretly: "It's here." ”

Guanyue felt that the fire was extinguished, and she was also alert, and when she turned her head, she was shocked, and asked in the dark, "Where is Senior Sister Meiwan?"
