"According to the first seven, you still need people from Yinshan Village to guard them." He Daniu said, he walked up a section of the mountain road while talking, and then propped up his knees to rest for a while, muttering to himself Said, "We outsiders come to guard, sooner or later something strange will happen."

Bai Liu gave He Daniu a hand: "What strange things will happen?"

He Daniu was silent again, and after a long time waved his hands and said: "Forget it, everyone is dead now, you are the only few seedlings left in Yinshan Village, and there is nothing to hide, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"‌Yinshan Village is not only xenophobic, but also has many strange customs. I'm not from here, but I've heard of it a lot, because it's so bizarre."

He Daniu looked at the mountain road with paper money floating on it, and fell into the memory:

"People in Yinshan Village don't have a good death. They die in various ways, such as being beaten to death by falling bricks and tiles, choking to death by bones while eating, etc., but most people drown. The few weir ponds outside Ah, several people are drowned every year."

"It's not the most bizarre, the most bizarre is the burial customs of Yinshan Village."

"For drowned people, Yinshan Village will normally bury them in coffins and shrouds. If they are not drowned, but also unmarried women, ‌Yinshan Village will let the dead women wear wedding gowns, make great fanfare, and knock Gongs and suonas are used to carry the dead woman to burial in a wedding sedan chair."

"They also like joint burials, that is, people who died together recently need to find a date to bury them. If there are drowned people and unmarried women who died suddenly during that time, then the wedding coffins will go on the road together. Red and white affairs should be handled together."

"How can I do it..." He Daniu shook his head again and again, "Newlyweds are buried, red face, red dress, red sedan chair, red shoes, red rouge, all five reds are available, drowning buried, white water, white clothes, white pants, white shoes, white paper money, five whites Both are there, and when the two collide together, they will become evil, and those who are to be buried will never be reborn forever."

He Daniu let out a long sigh: "Yinshan Village's ancestors have been buried like this for generations, and I don't know how many resentful souls have been accumulated in the land boundary that cannot be reborn."

"But it's my feudal superstition." He Daniu turned his head to look at Bai Liu, "You young people don't believe this, do you?"

He Daniu didn't wait for Bai Liu's answer, and continued to speak: "It's okay if you don't believe it. If you don't believe it, you can't understand ghosts and gods. If you don't believe it, you won't see it."

"But if it's time for you to believe, don't be afraid when you see these things. Just don't offend them. They won't easily come to hurt people."

He Daniu took a deep look at Bai Liu: "If you are unrighteous and insist on offending them, then you will go to heaven and earth, and you will not be able to escape this Yinshan Village."

"‌The boundary is an evil spirit that has been trapped for hundreds of years and cannot be reborn. I advise you young people who don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so you can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, He Daniu didn't look at Bai Liu's expression, pushed away Bai Liu's hand that was supporting him, and limped up the mountain with his hands behind his back.

"Come along." He Da Niu said without looking back, "The place where your ancestors put the corpses is coming."

Bai Liu looked from a distance along the mountain road that He Daniu was walking, and saw a temple covered with white cloth not far away. When he got closer, he realized that it was a Taoist temple.

Seven or eight wreaths were placed at the entrance of the temple, and two long elegiac couplets were hung on both sides of the wreath. Walking inside, a statue of Sanqing Yuanshi Tianzun was enshrined in the center of the temple. The statue looks very old, but there is no There is no paint peeling off the hanging dust, and there are traces of poor repair. It can be seen that it has been taken care of and maintained well.

At this time, the statue was holding Fuchen and narrowed its eyes slightly, as if it was looking at Bai Liu and his party who walked in.

The temple was full of incense, candles and incense were burning, and a strong smell of sesame oil came to the face. There were seven coffins lined up outside the incense stand in front of the statue, all of which were supported by two wooden benches.

As soon as He Daniu came in, he first lit three sticks of incense, made three bows to the statue respectfully, and then lit it.

"Three gods and four ghosts." After lighting the incense, He Daniu turned his head and looked at Bai Liu, "Remember, don't make a mistake when burning incense for the Taoist priest, otherwise the Taoist priest will not bless you forgetful people if something happens. Ancestor's cub."

Mu Sicheng pressed close to Bai Liu's ear and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by three gods and four ghosts?"

Bai Liu explained softly: "A common setting in Chinese horror games is to burn three sticks of incense for the gods, kowtow three times, and burn four sticks of incense for ghosts, kowtow four times."

Mu Sicheng asked solemnly: "What should I do if I burn it wrong?"

Bai Liu's gaze flicked over the seven coffins: "It is estimated that some things in the coffins will be awakened, let's start the chase."

Mu Sicheng looked horrified, and quickly mumbled a few words [God three ghost four] in a low voice.

"Come here." He Daniu waved to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu pulled Mu Sicheng who was saying in horror, "What if I have a Si in my name" and walked over.

Seeing Bai Liu approaching, He Daniu patted the coffin: "Take a look at it."

Bai Liu looked down at the surface of the coffin. There were four bells tied to the four corners of the black lacquered coffin. The four bells were pierced by several thin red threads, crossing the surface of the coffin horizontally and vertically.

A talisman was pasted where the red lines intersected, on which some patterns were drawn with flying phoenixes with cinnabar, and three large characters were written in wild cursive at the top - [An Sha Mantra].

He Daniu raised his head and looked at Bai Liu: "Did you see the yellow talisman pressed on the red line of the cross? It was drawn by a nearby Taoist master with deep knowledge [An Sha Mantra], which is used to suppress the water corpses in the coffin , don't take it off."

Bai Liu glanced at the talisman: "What will happen if you take it off?"

He Daniu took a steady look at Bai Liu: "The coffins are full of your ancestors, and they all died after a long life. Logically speaking, it's a happy funeral. Even if there is a ghost, it shouldn't embarrass your blood-related ancestors."

"But the bad thing is that they fell into the water and died when they went up to the mountain to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival."

He Daniu looked at the coffin: "Yinshan Village has trapped resentful souls who have not been able to reincarnate for many years. Tomb-sweeping is the time when they come out to wander. , It’s the death method of drowning again, water is cloudy, and water ghosts like to find a substitute.”

"You said if you lifted the spell, what would happen?"

He Daniu showed a piercing smile on his pale face: "Of course I was pulled by your good grandpa and grandma to be a substitute."

Mu Sicheng trembled from the laughter, subconsciously took half a step back.

Bai Liu was as stable as a mountain, and asked calmly: "Then is there more of this [An Sha Curse]?"

He Daniu turned around, bowed to the Sanqing statue in the temple again, and answered Bai Liu without looking back: "It's gone."

"Except for our older generation, who still believes in this, even those who are willing to spend money to invite Taoists, only the people in Yinshan Village still believe in this, the temple incense is good, and there are several small shops selling yellow talismans and cinnabar. "

"But then the people in Yinshan Village became more and more crowded, and some small shops were closed long ago, and these few talismans were left in the village before the Taoist left."

He Daniu turned around tremblingly, with a faint tone:

"The Daoist said that there must be great chaos in Yinshan Village in recent years, so he left a few sheets of [An Sha Curse], saying that although it cannot be resolved, it can barely be delayed for a while, and he came to our village and said, let us Don't get close to Yinshan Village in the near future, it is easy to cause accidents."

"Not long after the Daoist left, something happened to your grandparents, and a few Ansha spells came in handy."

He Daniu looked straight at Bai Liu: "There are not many talismans left by the Taoist master, and there are not many talismans, exactly seven, and your dead ancestors, there are not many, and one is not enough. , which happens to be seven."

"Seven talismans, seven coffins, the first seven souls..."

"Seven is the extreme of yin and yang in Taoism, and the number of coming and going means that the yin and yang of things converge at this number, and the past things come and go." He Daniu looked at the Sanqing statue with a gloomy expression, and shook his head. "What happened in the past will happen again, and manpower cannot stop it."

"If you hear the bells at the four corners of the coffin ring, don't run around. It's more dangerous outside. If you stay here, Daoist might still save your life."

As he said that, He Daniu looked up at the sky outside, and walked out with a flashlight: "It's getting late, I have to go, and I won't be able to go any later."

Mu Sicheng wanted to reach out and grab He Daniu, a useful npc at first sight, and not let him go, but he only caught He Daniu's wobbling clothes.

"Don't keep people who shouldn't be kept, and those who can't be kept, just like those who shouldn't go, can't go away..." He Daniu said in a faint voice, and walked out staggeringly, his movements seemed slow, but But the back quickly disappeared into the mist and paper embers.

"Ask for help from the Daoist if you need help, it's getting dark, don't go across the Yantang, it's not safe..."

As soon as He Daniu left, the originally prosperous lights in the temple flickered, and the gloomy wind blew, and the brightness was lowered several degrees out of thin air.

Mu Sicheng asked in a low voice: "Bai Liu, how much do you think He Daniu's words are credible?"

Bai Liu looked down at the talisman on the coffin: "You can believe it all."

Mu Sicheng was stunned: "Why? Does this He Daniu have any identity?"

"He should be that Daoist." Bai Liu said lightly, "This is an obvious Chinese-style horror copy that uses Taoism to fight against ghosts and gods. The NPC given at the beginning is so familiar with Taoism information, and gave it many directions. Friendly reminders are generally the settings of experts in the world."

"At present, the only master of the world we know is the Daoist in his own mouth, so the biggest guess in my mind is that He Daniu is that Daoist."

Mu Sicheng stood next to the statue, far away from the coffin, and asked: "He Daniu, I feel that he wants to help us, and he is a Taoist master, so why did he leave?"

Bai Liu looked up at the statue behind Mu Sicheng: "Because he can't handle the coming situation."

"Animals will run away from dangerous situations, let alone humans."

Mu Sicheng's neck was chilled by Bai Liu's words, and he moved away from the coffin vigilantly.

"But it's not impossible." Bai Liu withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Sicheng, "He gave us a hint, look for anything hidden behind the statue."

Mu Sicheng agreed, turned his hand into a monkey's paw, took a deep breath, and reached behind the statue to dig it out.

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who had been hiding behind the statue, smiled complacently when they heard Bai Liu asked Mu Sicheng to come over.

Because they had played a game before, they took a shortcut from the back mountain, and did not trigger He Daniu's NPC to go through the plot through the main entrance, so they arrived at this temple one step earlier than Bai Liu and the others, and hid in the temple one step earlier. behind the statue.

Yang Zhi gave Kong Xuyang a thumbs up, and sincerely praised Kong Xuyang with his mouth.

Kong Xuyang looked at the "Maoshan Talisman" in his hand, and raised one corner of his mouth sinisterly.

Bai Liu is quite smart, the game setting and plot guessing are not bad at all, they are all right.

That He Daniu is indeed an old Taoist. He stayed here to guard the spirit because he was afraid that those who came back would be killed by the wraiths here, so he stayed here specially to remind those who returned home.

But because He Daniu himself was under the surveillance of the wraith, he didn't dare to blatantly remind him, so he could only use the protection of the temple to covertly give the players some self-defense.

Among the self-defense items that He Daniu left for the players, the most valuable thing is this "Maoshan Talisman" hidden under the statue.

With this book, even if the player has no skills or props, he can survive in this difficult decryption game without incident.

But I'm sorry, the book has already been taken by him first.

This book is one of the important reliance for Kong Xuyang to dare to use his next plan, because after he activates the [Silent Silence] skill, neither Bai Liu nor he can open the system panel up.

Without the book, he wouldn't be able to pass the level in this dungeon.

Kong Xuyang turned his head and glanced at Yang Zhi again, and said with his mouth: "Have you figured out what to do next? You use your skills first, and I'll use them later, do you understand?"

Yang Zhi nodded solemnly.

Kong Xuyang's eyes were fixed, he made a gesture of one, and mouthed: "One—two—"

"Three! Let's go!" Kong Xuyang yelled loudly, Yang Zhi and he jumped out from behind the statue at the same time, and appeared in front of Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng.

[System prompt: Player Silent Lamb is facing player Bai Liu, player Mu Sicheng uses his personal skill (memory lamb), this skill allows (Silent Lamb) to eat player Bai Liu in this game, player Mu Sicheng remembers all The opponent forgets who he is, and his memory recovers after leaving the game. 】

[System prompt: Player Kong Xuyang uses his personal skill (silently), and the system panel of all players freezes and cannot be used. 】

A wave of white light swayed away, and the system panel floating in front of Mu Sicheng quickly turned gray and froze, then shattered and disappeared. The game manager in front of him turned gray, like an ordinary coin.

The moment Mu Sicheng noticed two people jumping out from behind the statue, he turned his head almost reflexively and wanted to run towards Bai Liu.

But before he ran over, the wavy white light swayed across the back of Mu Sicheng's head, his eyes couldn't help blanking, and his movements suddenly stopped.

That white light swayed past Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu's brains, and turned into a ring-shaped halo, which was sucked back into Yang Zhi's mouth. Hiccup.

Mu Sicheng stared blankly at his hands, then frowned and touched the back of his head, raised his head and looked around in confusion: "Where is...where?"

"Why am I here...?"

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi next to each other looked at each other, and after showing a knowing smile, they stepped forward to support Mu Sicheng, who was still a little dizzy due to the use of skills: "You are an outdoor live broadcast up host. Ah, it’s specially made to shoot supernatural videos of ghosts!”

Mu Sicheng looked over blankly: "What is it?"

Kong Xuyang pretended to be angry and patted the bag on Mu Sicheng's shoulder: "Hey! Why do you forget who you are after drinking? You open the bag and have a look."

Mu Sicheng opened his schoolbag in a daze and read it.

There are several cameras neatly placed in the schoolbag, a folded tripod, two radios, and two professional-level cameras. In the small pocket is Mu Sicheng’s work card, which reads [xx live broadcast] The platform signed a contract with the supernatural live broadcast host].

Mu Sicheng was taken aback, he held up his work ID in doubt, looked at himself in the photo on the work, frowned and asked, "I'm really... a supernatural live broadcast up master?"

Kong Xuyang next to him gave an evil smile: "That's right, ‌ is your [identity]."

The most insidious point of "Yinshan Village" is that every player who comes in has a special [identity] setting. Players must play this identity setting in the game. Once violated, If one identity is set to do things, the difficulty of the game will rise sharply, and it is easy to encounter ghosts and be killed in actions.

The last time Kong Xuyang entered a game dungeon, there were six of them. One identity was set as [up master who came to Yinshan Village to be a ghost live broadcast], and the side task of the second identity was [photographing the scariest ghost].

When Kong Xuyang saw that Mu Sicheng was carrying a big bag, he knew that Mu Sicheng had obtained an identity setting.

But the most difficult identity setting is...

Kong Xuyang turned his head to look at Bai Liu lying next to the coffin with ill intentions.

Bai Liu, Bai Liu, you are worthy of a lucky value of 0, and you got the most difficult character setting in the dungeons I have cleared in one fell swoop.

Mu Sicheng also seemed to have noticed that there was a comatose person lying in the bed, and stood up abruptly. Mu Sicheng subconsciously rushed up to help Bai Liu up, and shook it anxiously: "Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you? !"

After shaking, Mu Sicheng paused strangely.

What's going on... Why is he so worried about someone he doesn't even know? He doesn't seem to be the type who is very familiar with strangers, but why does he feel like...

Have known each other for a long time.

But before Mu Sicheng could figure it out, Bai Liu woke up leisurely.

As if Bai Liu had never fainted, he naturally supported Mu Sicheng's shoulders and stood up, and Mu Sicheng also naturally reached out to help Bai Liu up, and even put a small bench for Bai Liu to let him stand up. Sit back and rest.

After helping, Mu Sicheng paused again, and he slowly realized what was wrong.

Why is he so used to acting like a servant to this person...

After Bai Liu woke up, Kong Xuyang barely reminded him, he opened his backpack to find something on his own initiative, and then nodded in understanding.

‌‌The excessively normal behavior made Kong Xuyang glance at Yang Zhi in surprise, and questioned with his eyes—【Are you sure you have the memory of Bai Liu? 】

Yang Zhi was also very surprised to see Bai Liu's usual and comfortable actions.

Yang Zhi patted his belly in confusion, and after confirming that the memory that was being digested in his belly really belonged to Bai Liu, he opened his eyes wide and raised three fingers to Kong Xuyang to assure—【I really got Bai Liu's memory. 】

The memory that Yang Zhi ate was digested in his intestines and stomach in the form of [meat]. If he digested it quickly, Yang Zhi could still see something from the digested memory, which is why Yang Zhi often confused his memory before. s reason.

But if the memory that devours a person is like eating a whole cow for Yang Zhi, one game is far from enough time for Yang Zhi to digest it.

‌With Yang Zhi, Kong Xuyang, a skill, is only used as a skill to confuse the opponent, and cannot be used as a skill to spy on intelligence.

But Yang Zhi has feelings for the memory he ate. He said that he has the memory of digesting Bai Liu, which proves that Bai Liu was indeed eaten, and he is a blank person with no memory.

Kong Xuyang withdrew his gaze, and he tentatively took two steps in the direction of Bai Liu: "Bai Liu? Are you okay? Did you drink too much just now?"

Bai Liu looked up at Kong Xuyang: "I'm fine."

Kong Xuyang sat next to Bai Liu, comforting with pity: "Our grandparents are all dead, and we all returned to our hometown to worship our ancestors, so we can be regarded as sympathetic, don't be sad."

"I'm not sad." Bai Liu took out a book from his bag, lifted it up and said with a smile, "Because I seem to have come back to do bad things."

On the book that Bai Liu took out, there were seven scrawled calligraphy on it, which clearly read "Maoshan Magic Handbook".
