Chapter 47: 51 Amusement park rules and strange talk (15) Zhang Ke discovered something unusual……
More and more doubts occupied Ye Xi's mind. Seeing that the blue incense and white incense were both burned out, she opened the incense box and took out new incense. However, she only took one white incense stick, thinking that first she would appease the white-clothed ghost, and as for strengthening the blue-clothed ghost island, she wouldn't be in a hurry... Now, let's talk about avoiding provoking the red-clothed ghost first.
The white incense was firmly inserted into the incense burner. Diep Tich held the incense burner and started to move it around the grave, looking around with his head down.
Wang Xinran and Cao Weizhuang followed her, at first they thought she was looking for new clues, but then they felt it was different. Wang Xinran hesitated for a long time, then asked in a low voice: "Miss Li, what are you looking at...?"
In the tomb, the back and forth movement is frightening.
Diep Tich walked forward a few steps before opening her mouth: "A total of seven." After speaking, she stopped in front of a grave.
Wang Xinran was like in a fog: "What seven buildings in total?"
Diep Tich's eyes drifted towards the tomb in front: "The tombstone has no grave name engraved on it, there are seven in total."
Finished speaking, he glanced at Vuong Tam Nhiem: "There are seven of us in total."
"... Don't scare me!!!" Vuong Tam Nhiem was completely stunned.
Diep Tich continued to speak as if he was thinking about something: "I just looked, without talismans, there are only seven graves."
Vuong Tam Nhiem's voice trembled: "Is it because we are not dead yet?"
Diep Tich slowly shook his head: "I thought it was because we just died."
Wang Xinran's eyes were straight.
Ye Xi slowly recited the book he had just seen in the hourglass room and said: "The 'new funeral ghost' still thinks of itself as a human, its yin energy and resentment are extremely weak. If we are this 'new funeral ghost', its yin energy and resentment are extremely weak, then there is no need for a suppression spell."
Vuong Tam Nhiem was speechless: "That red-clothed ghost and yellow-clothed ghost just now..."
"Not sure yet." Ye Xi turned around to scan the red-clothed ghost that had just escaped the tomb, "We might still see the red-clothed ghost."
"..." Wang Xinran panicked and covered her neck.
On the left side of the study, Liu Yuhang and the others discovered that Shen Tao was anxiously coming out to call for someone. Ye Xi and the others went over to greet them. Shen Tao led them inside and said, "This room has a lot of books, a pile of books. The books we looked at were basically Taoist classics, but there were also some…" Shen Tao paused for a moment, "I don't know how to say it. You can look at it yourself in a moment."
"On the other hand, in the middle of the room there is a desk, in the drawer of the desk we found a notebook."
As he spoke, he entered the room, a green light symbolizing safety covered him. Sitting at the desk, Liu Yu Hang was flipping through notes when he saw Ye Xi. He tactfully handed the note to her.
Different from the Xuancheng paper bound letter just now, the notebook in front of him was an ordinary modern notebook. Ye Xi opened it, and remembered what he saw inside and was absorbed in reading it.
For example, it is mentioned that those who are raised by ghosts cannot reincarnate. This is a heavenly law, so absolutely cannot let ghosts know this, otherwise it is very likely that they will become evil ghosts. If the ghost-raiser is even slightly careless, they will suffer backlash.
The mark below says, the evil spirit is red. But even if the evil spirit is strong enough, it can still be suppressed by the ghost-raising practitioner. Once it is strong enough, it can only be filled with fresh blood and the incense will scatter its soul.
On the other hand, if the evil spirit successfully counterattacks the foster ghost, its resentment will disappear, and it will enter reincarnation, and the other ghosts that are being nurtured will also be released.
There is also a spell mentioned inside that can create a barrier to block negative energy. Because ghosts and demons are negative, they will also be blocked by this barrier.
Diep Tich looked at this place, a vague piece of thought slowly became clear, like the fog was dispelled by a gentle wind, the beautiful scene covering the fog reflected in the eyes.
Tham Dao casually handed over a few books: "This is the book I just said I don't know how to say."
Diep Tich was a bit startled, received the second page, suddenly enlightened.
She knew what kind of familiar feeling she had when she saw that ancient book in the hourglass room before! The last time she had this feeling was in the Rules of the Star Moon Apartment, in that strange book the "parents" worshiped a cult, the house was filled with both modern and ancient books, at first glance it looked very unreliable, that ancient book she read also had this kind of flavor.
But in this study room, there are also quite a few serious Taoist books and newspapers.
Diep Tich randomly picked up a book from the desk in front of him, without flipping through the contents, his eyes fixed on the cover.
This is a work of a Taoist priest, the cover is a photo of him, holding a whisk, his expression humble and polite, wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe with very bright eyes.
This photo made Diep Tich feel a last bit of doubt in his heart.
Liu Yuhang looked up at the desk and analyzed: "The red-clothed ghost is a demon, using fresh blood incense to nourish the ghost can cause its soul to scatter —— the last incense we want to burn should be red incense worship? By dispelling the demon, we will be safe?"
"No." Diep Tich put the book back on the table, "We want to strengthen that evil spirit."
Liu Yu Hang was surprised: "Ah???"
"Because our identity here is also 'ghost'." She greeted Liu Yu Hang with a smile, and roughly explained the clues she discovered outside. Finally, she concluded, "This ghost-raising Daoist priest should have been a serious cultivator, but later he went astray and started doing these heretical practices."
"So this cemetery is not a real cemetery. It was built by him with his own hands, fooling around."
This clue had actually already begun to show itself before they entered the table. "His" world basically didn't talk about basic laws, even outside it was completely possible to change as soon as it was said, stormy winds and dark clouds came as soon as they said they would, so there was basically no need to bring the haunted house into the house because of the atmosphere.
This house itself is part of the story's setting.
So the entire cemetery was in the room, and there was also a study next to it, so at first the blue-robed ghost said that this place seemed to be his tomb but it also seemed like it wasn't. The name of the tomb was correct, but it was smaller than his impression.
But what awakened the red-robed demon was not "fear" of the yellow-robed demon, but "hatred", and he wanted to kill the yellow-robed demon at all times.
With the clues strung together, the answer became clear——if they were "Humans", there might be a reason to help this demon suppress the ghosts. But if they were also "Ghosts", then they should help the ghosts overthrow him, seizing the opportunity to reincarnate.
Liu Yu Hang opened his mouth slightly, unable to say anything.
Tham Dao frowned: "Are you sure?"
He recalled every single sentence Ye Xi had said just now, and discovered that many important clues were all brought out by the blue-robed ghost, but idle chatter was easy to overlook, and ignoring any possibility would make it impossible for the participants to discover that they were also ghosts, so the vast majority of people would probably choose to help that demon at the end.
... This car's overturn rate is too high, isn't it?
He tactfully reminded: "Thinking of destroying the Rules Realm with a group of players, I have never heard of it before, so… Let me backtrack a bit, could it be a mistake?"
Diep Tich turned his head: "Thinking of destroying the Rules Realm with a group of players, I have indeed seen it."
Tham Dao: "?"
"Moreover, he continuously annihilates a group of people, or several groups. I feel that 'he' actually really wants to make everyone die, but why the other Rule Realm people can't do this is still unclear."
Shen Tao did not say a word, the previous schemes and schemes were enough to make him believe that Ye Xi was not lying to him. Moreover, combined with the news that Ye Xi had just mentioned, it really did not seem like a big deal for them to be "ghosts" helping that evil cultivator.
"I still have a problem." Liu Yu Hang raised his hand, "If we are also ghosts, why do other ghosts have to avoid the green land, why don't we?"
"I feel, it's probably the same logic as a talisman." Ye Xi's words paused, "Because we are 'new funeral ghosts', 'yin energy is really weak', the barrier set up by the demon path relies on resisting yin energy to prevent ghosts from entering, we weak chickens probably won't be sensed by the barrier at all."
She said as she flipped through the notebook about the barrier and pointed at the two subordinates Liu Yu Hang to see.
Liu Yu Hang's expression was complicated: "You took me to play in a haunted house and also took me to be a chicken (a weakling), how can this 'he' still be immortal!"
Synthesizing the clues and combing through the thoughts, everyone's mood improved a lot, and because he himself was also a ghost, he was not so afraid of that red-clothed ghost.
The seven people thus made friends and went out. Ye Xi used his memory to find the red-clothed ghost tomb. He stood in front of the tombstone and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no reaction, he bent down and gently knocked on the tombstone twice: "We really came to help you. You are so amazing, you must have seen us here, right?"
The next second, a pale-faced ghost suddenly appeared in front of him.
Diep Tich was somewhat shocked, but he held back and calmly looked at the ghost head on the tombstone.
The female ghost in red gnashed her teeth and said, "You impostor! I saw you and those blue-clothed people getting very close!"
"... We are new here, we don't understand the rules, please forgive us." Ye Xi bowed, "Can I be so bold as to ask, why do you hate blue-clothed ghosts?"
"Those worms!" The red-clothed female ghost completely burst out from her grave, carrying her anger as she wandered among the rogues, "They have no will to fight! They are dazed and confused! They have forgotten everything! They just sit around doing nothing all day long! Even if I tell them the truth, they will not make any progress!"
Diep Tich: "..."
Alas, she thought that such a great enmity, united just because of looking down on others?!
But of course she did not diss the red-clothed female ghost face to face, she harbored a bit of emotion, her face hung a flattering smile: "So that's how it is, that really is not a good ghost!"
The female ghost in red nodded and flew back to Ye Xi. Hearing that she agreed with her point of view, she stopped.
Diep Tich opened the incense box in his hand: "You are the incarnation of a red-clothed ghost in white, so I guess this white incense can also greatly enhance your abilities, right? We will give you all of these, can you defeat that stinky Taoist priest?"
The female ghost floating in mid-air looked down at her and took a light breath: "You really want to help me?"
"Well, look, I still have yellow incense." Diep Tich comfortably and generously raised the yellow incense string in front of the female ghost, who hurriedly avoided it.
"Embarrassed." Ye Xi quickly took back some of the incense, "Just now we burned a branch of yellow incense, that demon suddenly flashed by, if we burn three branches together, can we make him stay here for a long time?"
The female ghost nodded silently.
Again said: "But normal incense burner is not enough, you require an altar."
"... That's right, we require an altar." Ye Xi seemed to be muttering to himself, waiting for the female ghost to provide assistance.
But the female ghost was not so easy to talk to. Hearing Ye Xi's mumbling, she suddenly bent down and pressed her face pale in front of Ye Xi: "First give me the incense, then I can give you the altar."
Can you please not scare people with your loud roars?
Ye Xi cursed under his breath as he opened the incense box. His teammates were a little nervous when they saw this. After looking at each other for a while, Liu Yu Hang boldly stepped forward and pulled Ye Xi with the red-clothed female ghost face, whispering, "Can't you leave some advantage in your hands?"
Diep Tich was angry: "No need. What she wants most is to kill the evil spirit and reincarnate, not our lives."
Don't forget, in this world they are already "dead". Ghosts killing living people can probably still absorb vital energy points to increase their magic power, what use is killing ghosts? Especially since they are still weaklings among ghosts, all the blue-robed ghosts and white-clothed ghosts in this cemetery all have higher gold content than them.
"Quick, light the incense." Diep Tich urged his teammates in a low voice. The first incense stick in his hand was already burning and was inserted into the incense burner.
The red-clothed female ghost's face revealed a look of enjoyment, and she took a deep breath.
Not too often, the seven incense burners were all filled with white incense, placed in front of the red-clothed female ghost. They each originally had three branches of white incense, but after previous consumption, now there was only enough to add two more batches, even so, the female ghost had visibly become stronger.
On her hand was a red armor with clear edges, a head of silky black hair from the original waist length directly fell to the side of her feet. More importantly was her aura, after all the white incense was burned out, she just slowly raised her head and had a kind of terrifying aura, Ye Xi looked at her eyes, and felt a bit unreasonably guilty.
It is this kind of standing in front of absolute power, really worried that you will offend the opponent.
Looking closely again, the surroundings were quiet for some unknown reason. The group of blue-clothed ghosts that were hated by the female ghost in red had disappeared without a trace, probably hiding in their own graves. The group of white-clothed ghosts each stopped wandering around, looking this way with awe.
The female ghost in red floated in the air for a long time without speaking, seemingly enjoying the comfort brought by the increased strength. After a long while, she lowered her eyes and indifferently glanced at the several "new ghosts" in front of her.
This gaze had a oppressive force and was very gloomy. In that instant, even Ye Xi doubted whether the female ghost would directly eat their pleasure.
Next, the female ghost immediately went to Ye Xi's front again, using a kind of profound meaning to ask her: "You don't know that you are dead, right?"
"Just, just found out..." Diep Tich nodded honestly, "I really thought I was alive."
"Ha ha." The female ghost laughed twice, flying towards the north, "We must seize the moment."
After speaking, she quickly flew towards the north slope. Diep Tich hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed, afraid that at the last moment she would miss the key point, so she quickly asked: "Why do we have to hurry?"
"There are many things that can only be touched by ghosts who still think they are human." She glanced at the incense box in Ye Xi's hand, "For example, that demon's yellow incense."
"You have realized that you are ghosts, and there is not much time left." The female ghost flew to the empty space in front of her, raised her hand, and a third fellow disciple suddenly appeared.
"..." Diep Tich was speechless: What a fool.
The rules mold the red-clothed demon into a big boss, finding the altar requires the red-clothed demon to help, if the player thinks wrongly, everything will go wrong and they will fail. Moreover, there are many factors that decide success or failure, for example, in the previous section, the white incense consumed too much, the red-clothed demon might not be able to obtain enough energy; for example, if the player summons the "Yellow-clothed Demon" several times to deal with the red-clothed demon, whether the red-clothed demon will be killed directly is hard to say.
The red-clothed demon stopped at the door: "This is also the demon's territory. Because the altar is the most important, he set up a special barrier to hide it. I also just found it not long ago."
"But I can break the outer part of the barrier, I can't get inside. You guys go and get the altar out, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay." Diep Tich nodded, looking at the seven-green light in front of him that was about to go inside, the female ghost said again: "Hurry up."
Diep Tich turned her face away and said: "You don't have a few minutes left, if you make a mistake, your soul will be scattered."
Diep Tich glanced at her and found that her gloomy eyes revealed a bit of gentleness.
Diep Tich nodded and walked through the door.
Her teammates walked in together, a huge bronze cauldron engraved with strange runes was placed in the inner room, it should be the legendary "altar". But what attracted more attention was that there was a peach wood sword hanging on the wall.
The peach wood swords totaled seven, just enough for the seven of them, it was hard not to let more people see them. On each sword hilt were engraved three large characters "Soul Slashing Sword", which originally was both righteous and evil, Lan Guiyi couldn't help but be moved, looked at Ye Xi, and said thoughtfully: "If we kill the red-clothed ghost first, then kill the demon, wouldn't that be more secure?"
Diep Tich instantly understood her thoughts.
The peach wood sword was originally a demon-slaying and demon-exorcist, and could probably restrain the red-clothed female ghost outside. As for the demon path, the incense they used should have brought the demon path's soul over, so it should also be within the scope of the peach wood sword's business.
According to the basic assumption, as long as the demon path "ghost-raiser" dies, the ghosts captured by him will be able to gain freedom, and whether or not the female ghost in red is present will be able to pass smoothly.
But in a moment of hesitation, Diep Tich thought of the female ghost's gentle expression just now, and shook his head: "No, I trust the red-clothed ghost."
Deception, betrayal, and insidious schemes are all things that truly chill people's hearts.
As a person, she does not want to live to be more terrifying than a ghost.
Hearing these words, Lan Guiyi only thought of saying "How can a little girl be so innocent", but considering that she had already brought everyone to safety one after another, Lan Guiyi did not say anything more and helped her move the bronze cauldron.
Seven people worked together, the heavy brass cauldron was smoothly moved out of the small room,
The red-clothed female ghost clearly let out a sigh of relief.
The boss placed the bronze cauldron on the ground. Ye Xi sat up and wiped his sweat. Suddenly, he thought of the traditional use of bronze cauldrons in ancient times. He looked at the female ghost in doubt: "Are you sure this is used for burning incense?"
——It is reasonable to suspect that you actually want to cook that demon.
"Yes." The red-clothed female ghost naturally didn't know what she was thinking. She waved her sleeve and the empty brass cauldron was filled with incense ash.
Diep Tich: This...□□ dark magic is really not logical.
The matchbox was lit again, and three yellow incense sticks were lit. With an indescribable feeling of awe, Ye Xi carefully inserted the three incense sticks into the brass pot.
In one night, all around him was a howling hurricane. That "Yellow-Robed Ghost" appeared in the hurricane again. At this time, his facial features were clear, but his body was confused.
"What is this!" He looked around in fear, doubt, and anxiety. The moment he saw the red-clothed female ghost, he froze in disbelief.
"You, you you you..." The demon's legs went soft, and he almost fell down. The female ghost slowly reached out, causing his body to float, then inch by inch he approached.
The demon in front of him was terrified and had his throat tightly squeezed. At first, he was still able to make some effective struggles, but very quickly, only meaningless trembling remained. His eyes rolled upwards uncontrollably, and his tongue painfully stretched out. For the first time, Ye Xi knew that a human tongue could stretch out to such a length.
Two minutes later, the demon died. The red-clothed female ghost squeezed his throat again with a bit of force, and the originally human soul instantly turned into a wisp of dust, dissipating without a trace.
In a moment, the darkness in the house suddenly had a bright light slanting into it.
It was a beautiful ray of light, shining down from the right side of the roof, each ray of light was gentle and holy, inside the floating dust seemed to be covered with spiritual energy.
Just standing from the perspective of reading and understanding, Diep Tich can get it - this game symbolizes goodness, is to open the path to a new life and reincarnation.
"Let's go." The red-clothed female ghost let out a breath and led the way towards that group of light. Behind her, countless white-clothed and blue-clothed ghosts also passed by, their faces filled with the same reverence as a pilgrim charging towards the path to rebirth.
This scene made the viewer feel emotional. Diep Tich quietly enjoyed it for a moment before saying: "Let's go too."
"... Are we also going out from there?" Shen Tao asked, Ye Xi said: "According to the assumption, we should go."
If not, that ray of light should not have done any harm to them, simply because they did not leave, they needed to find another exit.
The group of people thus made friends and walked towards that piece of light, a warm and comfortable feeling instantly surrounded their whole body, then it was covered with pure white.
This kind of white is so dazzling that everyone can't help but close their eyes. When the light returns to normal, when they open their eyes again, they are already in a courtyard with red walls and blue tiles.
The sky was bright with sunlight, Ye Xi turned his head to look, this should be the backyard of the haunted house. A half-opened door was several meters away, a red rabbit tour guide figure was moving around outside.
.
Parallel to the haunted house space, Tieu Lanh walked out of the courtyard gate and quietly looked ahead at his teammates.
This time they had no casualties, five people went in, five people came out, not knowing if Trieu Thuong Phong couldn't find a chance to attack or gave up.
... He began to consider whether or not to directly use Gu Si's identity as a native to take the points.
Just like that, hesitating for a moment, Zhao Shangfeng in front secretly started to act.
Tieu Lanh saw a silver light being taken out from his pocket. He tightly gripped the handle of the knife and silently brought it close to Co Tu.
Still very careful, Tieu Lanh understood and smiled.
He understood why Zhao Shangfeng had waited until now to make his move. The sneak attack at the rest stop by drawing his knife earlier had proven that Zhao Shangfeng was not smart enough, only knowing how to directly poke people, and would not use the roundabout rules during the customs clearance process to carry out his plans.
But just now in the haunted house, the big guys had always acted together, so if he directly provoked someone, it would be too obvious. He himself would not take advantage of the rules to scheme against his teammates, but he also wanted to guard against his teammates fearing him and plotting against him later.
But now it's safe. Red Rabbit said the haunted house is the last project, if he makes a move now, even if the rich people have opinions about him, they won't have the chance to do anything.
In a blink of an eye, Trieu Thuong Phong had already approached behind Co Tu. The distance was too close, Co Tu finally realized something, suddenly turned around.
——At the same time, Trieu Thuong Phong gritted his teeth and felt viciousness, he fiercely stabbed Co Tu in the back with his knife!
The incident was so sudden that Gu Si didn't even have time to scream. His eyes widened and he stared at Zhao Shangfeng.
Trieu Thuong Phong slashed his sword again and again.
Tieu Lanh raised his eyebrows and stopped walking.
Truong Kha discovered something unusual, turned around and saw it, scared to the point of breaking his voice: "Ah ——!!!":,,.
