The distance between the tomb and the tomb is not far, and some steles are several meters high, and the small characters recorded on them are densely packed.
The surnames 'Li' and 'Zhou' were the most common guards in the ancestral hall. Together with the ballot box made of white bones, Sur subconsciously looked for tombstones with these two surnames.
Except for the girl who committed suicide not long ago in the Li family, only one tombstone surnamed 'Li' was found. From the birth and death years on the tombstone, the child was only thirteen years old. Patiently, he turned around again from the beginning to the end, and finally found a monument called Zhou Linjun on the side near the mountain wall.
Because the age is a little old and eroded by wind and rain, the word 'week' on it has been somewhat blurred.
See guilt again: stealing.
Compared with other tombstones, there are only a few words.
Sur looked back at Ji Heng: "Will there be a ghost suddenly appearing?"
"It's unlikely." Ji Heng said, "Unless you have committed some taboos."
The game favors ghosts, but also gives them constraints, otherwise the player has no place at all.
Sur: "Does digging a grave count?"
Before Ji Heng spoke, Wen Buyu took a deep breath, is this guy crazy!
Of course, Sur is not willful. Only by opening the coffin can we determine whether the bones of the ballot box in the ancestral hall belong to this person.
Ji Heng didn't answer.
Sur knew that he should not be used to asking him about everything, so he quickly changed his mind to think independently. The people buried here are all people who are regarded as shame by the town, and there is no trace of anyone coming to worship in this land. , most of which are characterized as mass burial mounds.
Even so, it cannot be said that there is a 100% certainty that after digging, the whole body can be guaranteed to retreat.
After thinking for half a minute, Sur was cruel and ready to plan. Now there is Ji Heng with him, and in the future, I don't know how many choices between life and death will be faced.
Seeing that he first wrapped his hands in his sleeves and planed it, he disliked the slow speed, and then walked around to find a quick wooden board to use as a simple shovel, Wen Buyu felt his nerves go numb: "Should we stop it?"
Ji Heng glanced at her, and the latter swallowed her unfinished words. Wen Buyu gritted his teeth and stepped forward to help Sur dig together.
"Huh?" Sur was a little surprised.
"You alone, you won't be able to finish digging before dark." Wen Buyu didn't want to help, but if he didn't do anything, he would be abandoned by Ji Heng as an abandoned chess piece sooner or later.
Sur raised his eyebrows. Although this person's strength is not strong, there is a reason why he can live until now.
In the matter of digging things, Wen Buyu is obviously more experienced than Sur, and he knows how to pinpoint Shi Qiaojin. What's more, she has been in the game for a long time, and her force value is far higher than Sur, and the two of them will soon be able to see the corner of the coffin.
Wen Buyu: "Do you want to open?"
Sur lightly tapped the coffin lid: "Are you there?"
Wen Buyu was speechless, just as he was about to speak, there was a 'dong' from inside the coffin. The sudden sound scared her back and sat on the ground. Looking at it again, Sur has jumped three meters away!
Sur was also a little embarrassed, pursed his lips and said, "The instinct to escape."
Wen Buyu got up with resentment, if the coffin was broken just now, it would definitely be himself who would bear the brunt.
Sur approached again with a serious face, and said to the coffin in a consultative tone: "Senior, what do you think of me? Is I qualified to be the captain of the guard?"
The coffin board suddenly fell silent.
Sur suggested himself: "Once I become the head of the guard, I promise to formulate more stringent provisions so that no one will be able to exploit loopholes."
Wen Buyu frowned and reminded in a low voice, "The people buried here are all those who were killed by the rules."
Sur turned a deaf ear and continued: "The current punishment is still too light to convince the public."
There was a screeching sound from inside the coffin, and the gust of wind from the top of the mountain seemed to be rushing straight down, pouring in from the Tianling cover, making the soles of people's feet like glue, unable to take a step at all. With a creak, the coffin revealed a gap, and Sur even saw the rusted nails bent and stuck there.
A stack of red paper floated out from the coffin, divided into three parts, and fell into the hands of Su Er, Wen Buyu, and Ji Heng.
"Before tomorrow morning, whoever can guard these things will be the new captain."
A hoarse voice came from the coffin, and the surrounding tombs seemed to be sensing it. The wind became stronger for a while, blowing off a lot of loess on the tombs.
None of the three showed a happy expression, staring at the red paper in his hand instead of looking at a hot potato, Wen Buyu took the lead and said to Sur, "I abstain, I'll give you something."
Sur didn't answer: "Leave here first."
The mound gradually became a miniature behind him, and the temperature warmed up. Su Er clenched the red paper in his hand and looked at Ji Heng with a bit of tears and laughter: "It is the same as your educational philosophy, there are no conditions to create conditions."
These red papers can be kept well, but if they can't keep it, they will probably die in their hands.
To put it bluntly, ghosts give benefits, and the price of failure is life. This is ghosts creating conditions to kill them.
Wen Buyu thought of a not-so-good hypothesis: "Will we be chased by large-scale ghosts at night?"
"Very reasonable."
This is the first time Ji Heng has affirmed her idea.
Wen Buyu wanted to cry but had no tears. For the second time, he wanted to stuff the red paper with Sur: "Don't you want to be the captain of the guard?"
Sur: "If you don't have a piece of red paper in your hand the next day, you might be listed as the target of obliteration."
Thinking of the words from the coffin, Wen Buyu's hand instantly froze in mid-air.
After thinking hard about the way to escape, she suddenly said when she was about to reach the market place: "By the way, just now, why did you say you need to make rules, not to destroy?"
The latter should be more in line with the wishes of the deceased.
Sur told her the story of the previous copy: "Those who have been killed by the cult still want to become angels after they die."
The prodigal sons can't turn back when they are alive, and how can they expect them to be enlightened after death.
"If it's really like what Ji Heng said, the guard's every move is under the supervision of ghosts, it proves that these ghosts don't want to take revenge, but want to use stricter rules to restrain future generations."
Wen Buyu looked at Ji Heng, who nodded slightly, agreeing with what Sur said.
Sur sighed softly: "Ten years of a daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law begins an infinite cycle of abusing her daughter-in-law again."
"..." is outrageous, but inexplicable. Wen Buyu tried his best to calm down: "the top priority is how to survive tonight."
Sur: "The troops are divided into three groups."
There was obviously more than one ghost in the town, and together they faced a siege. To disperse these ghosts can only be divided and attacked, and the pressure will be relatively less.
Wen Buyu didn't object, and the persimmons were soft-spoken. Sur was the weakest among them, and the threat he faced would not be too great.
A faint fragrance entered the nose. Wen Buyu raised his head and saw Ji Heng handing Su Er a small box.
"what is this?"
"Ghost bone flower." Ji Heng said: "Until the flower fully blooms, the ghost can't see your existence."
Sur didn't expect such wonderful things in his hand: "How long can it last?"
Ji Heng shook his head: "I haven't used it, it should be enough to delay it for a while."
Sur did not refuse, and solemnly thanked him.
Wen Buyu's eyes flickered, Ji Heng just handed things over to Sur in front of himself, not afraid... Just had an idea, when he looked up, he saw Ji Heng looking at her with the corner of his eye, and said with his mouth: "Try it."
These three simple words made Wen Buyu's heart shudder and put away his thoughts of snatch.
Fighting a dog also depends on the owner, not to mention that with Sur's potential, it is very likely that he will grow into a wolf.
Ji Heng: "Although there are other things on me that you can use, they may kill you."
Sur nodded, he is not an insatiable greedy person, the ghost bone flower is already an extremely precious consumable.
Before the night came, the three gathered at a roadside food stall to have a full meal, and then separated.
Sur went west, which was the farthest from the cemetery, and he was familiar with the surrounding terrain, which was considered relatively advantageous.
Before it gets dark, you can still think of countermeasures safely. When the night really comes, even Sur will inevitably be a little nervous. He didn't know how ghosts found people, but there was a process anyway. Contacted that the temperature around the dirt will decrease a few times, and then go to a wet and cold place. Doing the opposite way, maybe you can use the temperature to cover up the hiding place and be ignored by ghosts.
In the end, Sur picked a large water tank and squatted next to it, and there were quite a few shelters around.
The word nightlife doesn't exist in the town at all, and when it's dark here, few people show up on the road. With his back against the wall, Sur's chill climbed up his spine. There was no sound on the street at all. I don't know how long ago the wind suddenly blew, and the whirring sound was indescribable.
Sur didn't dare to relax at all, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, there seemed to be some kind of dissonant rhythm mixed up in the middle—
blah blah.
No, it is more inclined to clang.
Tonight, the moon was surprisingly round, and Sur quietly stuck out half of his head, trying to see what was going on by the moonlight.
On the empty street, there was an extra white bone, a small half to be exact. It lost its bones from the waist down and moved on purely on half of its body. The speed of movement is very fast. The distance between a person and a bone is shortened to less than one meter in the next second.
As they got closer, Sur could clearly see maggots emerging from the skeleton's eyes, and immediately looked down at the box Ji Heng gave him.
With an electric shocker by his side, he would naturally be reluctant to waste it in the face of an ordinary kid. This skeleton doesn't look strong. The problem is that Sur is always thinking of ballot boxes made of bones, and the thing in front of him happens to be missing a lot of bones.
Do you want to use it
A lot of thoughts flashed in his mind, and it took three seconds to make a real decision. Sur quickly opened the box and put the flowers in his pocket.
Almost at the same time, a gust of wind swept over his head, and Sur bowed his body, fearing for a while, the half of the skeleton really found his existence.
A hole was poke in the wall behind him by a sharp phalanx, and the skeleton was a little puzzled. He clearly sensed it here, why did he suddenly lose his breath
Sur breathed a sigh of relief.
The skeleton's eyes have long since disappeared, and he can't see normally. It seems that the ghost bone flower is more precious than Ji Heng described, not only can it make ghosts invisible to themselves, it can even block their perception.
Five minutes passed, and the skeleton did not intend to leave. Sur tried to take a few steps to the side, but it didn't take long for the skeleton to appear around.
what happened
There is also a time limit for the ghost flower. When the flower is fully bloomed, it will be over. Sur tried to calm down, and suddenly found that the maggots that drilled out of the skull's eyes were half a meter away from him, spinning like headless flies.
Depend on!
No matter how calm Sur was, he felt sad for his 'defying' luck.
Can ghosts help
Another ten minutes passed, and a petal had bloomed.
The ghost flower obviously won't last until dawn, and wherever he goes, the skeleton will follow, and if it goes on like this, he will die.
"Take a gamble." Sur looked back at the skeleton who would not give up without taking his life and made a bold decision: "The most dangerous places are often the safest."
·
ancestral hall.
Ji Heng leaned against the pillar, and so far he has only met two weak little ghosts.
The sound of gasping came in, and Wen Buyu staggered in, with blood on half of his sleeves, obviously injured.
"There is someone here." Ji Heng was not impersonal at all.
Wen Buyu racked his brains to think of coming to the ancestral hall. There is obviously a problem with the ballot box placed here, and there may be ghosts. But most ghosts were executed in ancestral halls before they died, and most of them were unwilling to come in, so they would be relatively safe.
It's hard to say if only two people are gathered now. The primal desire to kill is likely to prompt them to flock together.
She was a little unwilling: "Sur is also very cunning, maybe he will come soon, will you drive him out too?"
Ji Heng: "This place was originally occupied by him."
When Sur arrives, he will naturally leave.
Wen Buyu was stunned for a moment: "If that's the case, why didn't you just start..."
Before finishing the question, I reacted first, this is cultivating. Returning to the grave focuses on the elite, which has both advantages and disadvantages. Just like the last time returning to the grave lost a member in the dungeon, then a replacement must be introduced as soon as possible to make up for the weakened power of the organization.
Ji Heng didn't kill all of them, but pointed to a clear road: "You can go to Trillion and tell me about the red ticket. With his ability, protecting you will not be a problem."
I can't understand why Ji Heng is willing to leak the red ticket, but Wen Buyu has no better choice right now.
Because of slight jealousy and unwillingness, before leaving, he finally said: "He may not have thought of coming here."
Sur is indeed excellent, but the survival experience is still insufficient.
"The most dangerous place is the safest," Ji Heng said lightly, "He will not fail to understand such a simple truth."
·
Su Er did think of the ancestral hall for the first time, but he thought about it a little more. He can think of it, and Ji Heng and Wen Buyu can definitely think of it. When the last three meet, what is the meaning of the separation
Moreover, the most dangerous place is not the ancestral hall.
"What is the ancestral hall..." Sur looked at the skeleton that was still chasing him with maggots, looked at the yard in front, and gritted his teeth: "Mr. Shuhai's bed is the most exciting."
The author has something to say: Mr. Shuhai: Why the bed
Sur: It's easy to push you out as a shield when you're close.
Mr. Shuhai: ... ! ! !
