【Chapter 389, Red Clothes】

Lu Jiuchuan's words startled everyone.

The vibration of the sarcophagus became more and more violent, and even the entire secret room began to shake like an earthquake, and the blood oozing from the gap even flowed onto the ground, Xiao Lou looked at the pool of dazzling blood, and quickly took a step back: "Everyone, be careful! "

He has read tomb-robbing novels before, in which the protagonists enter the thousand-year-old tomb and often encounter the legendary "Zongzi".

The so-called "zongzi" are actually zombies. The dead buried in ancient tombs will mutate into zombies and attack intruders, which are generally difficult to deal with. But... never heard that zongzi can bleed?

Zombies have been buried in the ground for hundreds of thousands of years. The corpses have rotted and dried long ago. Where can such fresh blood come from the body?

Could it be hallucination?

Xiao Lou looked around quickly.

In the icy stone room, there were only lamps at the four corners and a sarcophagus in the middle, and no hallucinogenic drugs were found. Moreover, after falling into hallucinations on the spiral staircase before, everyone became very cautious. Before entering a new secret room, everyone would pay attention to the frequency of breathing to avoid inhaling poisonous gas or fragrance.

The scene of the sarcophagus shaking is not like a hallucination, but how can the blood oozing from the gap be explained?

Xiao Lou was wondering, at this moment, the lid of the sarcophagus suddenly began to shake wildly, as if something was about to crawl out. Yu Hanjiang immediately protected Xiao Lou behind him, tightly holding the handle of the saber with his left hand, and staring sharply at the sarcophagus.

Gui Yuanzhang's voice came from Xiao Lou's ear: "There is something in the sarcophagus, should we keep it or withdraw it?"

Apparently, the same thing happened to Ye Qi and the others in their secret room.

Ye Qi said: "If there is a big rice dumpling, we should be able to fight, right? After all, we have cards in our hands."

Shao Qingge said with doubts: "Zongzi? The kind you eat during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Everyone: "..."

Mr. Shao, can you be more serious?

Chu Huaying explained blankly: "The thousand-year-old zombies in the ancient tomb are commonly known as zongzi."

Only then did Shao Qingge, who had never read tomb robbery novels, come to his senses: "Oh... that is, what does the dead man in the coffin mean by cheating?" After he finished speaking, he quickly took a step back, hiding very resolutely.

In the square piece of secret room, the worm king card can't be used, he can't use stocks to deal with zombies, and then it depends on his teammates.

Xiao Lou suddenly said: "Everyone be careful, it doesn't have to be Zongzi."

What is in the coffin is still unknown. If it is really a thousand-year-old zongzi that cheated the corpse, it would be equivalent to a high-level zombie. Do you need to be afraid?

What Xiao Lou was most worried about was... Maybe there were no zongzi in this coffin.

The blood was telling him that things were not that simple.

After everyone communicated briefly on the voice channel, suddenly, the lid of the sarcophagus was pushed up violently, and the things in the coffin finally broke free from the restraints, making a sharp and ear-piercing cry.

The door of the stone room was closed behind him, and everyone was trapped in the secret room.

In the enclosed space, sharp screams began to echo repeatedly. The strange sound was like a mental attack, which made everyone's brains buzzing. Immediately afterwards, the lid of the sarcophagus flew towards the six people. ——

The saber in Yu Hanjiang's hand slashed neatly, splitting the stone in half!

In another secret room, Gui Yuanzhang swung the writing brush in his hand, and the sarcophagus was stopped abruptly by him, and hit the wall with a "boom" following the trajectory of the writing brush!

Everyone looked at the back of the sarcophagus in horror.

The moment the lid was destroyed, everyone finally saw clearly what crawled out of the sarcophagus——

It was a woman in a red wedding dress.

Her gorgeous gown looked brand new, embroidered with gold thread.

The woman's face was as pale as paper, and she still wore beautiful hairpins on her head. However, those hairpins were half hanging on her hair at this time, and her messy black hair fell down and reached her waist. Her slender hands were already stained red with blood, and her nails seemed to have been snapped off when she clasped the sarcophagus just now, and her eyes were also glowing red with blood.

The woman looked at everyone with resentful eyes, and Xiao Lou's heart felt cold when she stared at him.

Before she had time to react, the woman's bloody hand suddenly grabbed Xiao Lou!

Yu Hanjiang made a decisive decision and swung his saber to cut off her arm. However, the woman's movements were extremely agile and her body was very flexible. When she retracted her arms, her feet wearing red embroidered shoes stepped on the stone wall of the secret room and jumped suddenly. Avoiding Yu Hanjiang's blade, the sharp claws grabbed Lu Jiuchuan who was standing beside him.

Yu Hanjiang sliced ​​through the air, seeing that the woman in red was about to strangle Lu Jiuchuan's throat, Lu Jiuchuan immediately pulled out the ice sword in his hand, and swept it horizontally forward - but to his surprise, the freezing effect of the ice sword seemed to be Doesn't work for women?

Lu Jiuchuan retreated quickly, leaning to one side, narrowly avoiding her attack.

The woman failed to attack Lu Jiuchuan, so she went back to beat Lao Mo. In desperation, Mo Xuemin erected a row of marble walls in front of him to stop her, but what shocked Lao Mo was that the woman's claws were actually on the marble wall. Take out a hole directly!

Seeing this, Liu Qiao hurriedly summoned the witch.

The witch in her hand is a card that can be killed in one hit. In the dark environment, give

Designate a bottle of poison to the target, and the opponent can be poisoned immediately. However, the witch in Liuqiao sprinkled the poison, and the woman in red didn't respond?

Xiao Lou took out the compass, quickly drew a few circles, and manipulated the metal ring to trap her from all directions!

Seeing that the two rings had been put on her body, the woman in red seemed to have the ability to "blink", and instantly moved from one corner of the room to the other, directly ignoring Xiao Lou's ring, and turned towards Xiao Lou again. Come on...

The six people looked at each other in blank dismay.

At the same time, in the secret room on the other side, the moment the woman in red appeared, Gui Yuanzhang quickly aimed at her with the brush in his hand.

Gui Lao's pen can control objects weighing up to 100kg to float and move in the air. The object's moving trajectory will follow the trajectory of Gui Yuanzhang's brush. He originally wanted to throw this woman against the wall. It turns out that women are not under his control at all!

Ye Qi took out his flute and played the music.

The flute can put a single target into a deep sleep, which is a very strong lock-on control skill. I thought that the woman would fall into a coma when the flute sounded, but who would have thought that Ye Qi played the flute as if playing the piano to a cow, and the woman didn't respond at all?

When Chu Huaying saw this, the slender black shadow swept past like the wind. This was the first time Ye Qi and others saw Chu Huaying make a move. Her speed was as fast as lightning, and everyone didn't see how she flew out at all. , In the blink of an eye, she had already come to the back of the woman in red.

A cold light flashed in Chu Huaying's hand, and the blood-red spider dagger accurately hit the woman in red in the middle of her back.

However, Chu Huaying's dagger did not have any "blocking feeling", as if it had stabbed a cloud of air.

No matter what the opponent is, if the dagger is inserted into the flesh, it will definitely be blocked, but why...

Chu Huaying was slightly startled, and the next moment, the woman in red suddenly turned her head, her eyes were filled with blood and tears, two bright red tears kept sliding down her pale cheeks, and immediately after, she stretched out her pale hand, He grabbed Chu Huaying's neck.

Gui Yuanzhang called out in a low voice: "Hua Ying!"

Ye Qi also shouted in shock: "Miss Ying, be careful!"

The teammates were about to help, but soon, Chu Huaying disappeared in front of everyone, as if being sucked into another space.

Ye Qi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly took out other instruments to control the field. Long Sen and Qu Wanyue also took action, using the chameleon card to blend in with the environment, and wanted to take the opportunity to attack the woman in red.

Shao Qingge retreated to the door and quickly reported the situation here to Xiao Lou: "Xiao Lou, Chu Huaying is gone!"

At this time, Xiao Lou and the others also encountered an unprecedented crisis.

The cards of the six seemed to be all invalid. They could release their skills, but they couldn't control the woman in red.

Seeing that her sharp claws were about to attack Xiao Lou, Lu Jiuchuan yelled, and stabbed the woman's neck with the ice sword in his hand!

The woman turned her head away, screamed and continued to attack Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang's left hand pulled suddenly, bringing Xiao Lou into his arms, followed by Qinggong and flew up, stepped on the broken stone brick just now, dodged the woman's attack without any danger, and slashed at her with his backhand head!

The woman didn't dodge this time, her blood-red eyes stared straight at Xiao Lou, with blood and tears streaming out of her eyes, her messy hair flew around with her movements, like Shura from hell.

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, is this an upgraded version of zongzi? Can the fuck fly?"

Tang Ci said: "Mr. Shao just said that Huaying is missing, what's going on?"

Xiao Lou's heart tightened slightly from the woman's stare, but he quickly calmed down and quickly thought about countermeasures.

In the tomb robbery novels he had read, zongzi were generally produced by mutated corpses, and most of the mutated corpses had a characteristic - they moved relatively slowly. Zombies and zombies will follow this physiological law. After all, the body loses water and blood, and the muscles become shriveled. If the mobility is more flexible than that of humans, it is too unscientific.

However, the woman in front of her is extremely agile, she can also avoid everyone's attacks, and even step on the wall to leap?

Such a flexible and flying thing is naturally not a zongzi.

Facing the bloody eyes, Xiao Lou tremblingly said: "She... is probably a wraith, or a ghost."

As if to confirm his thoughts, Yu Hanjiang's saber slashed her head, not only did not slash her brains, but it seemed to hit a mass of nothingness. The sharp knife directly passed through the middle of her body, but she Unscathed.

What would be like air?

It can only be a wraith without a body, or a ghost.

Almost at the same time, Ye Qi's nervous voice sounded again on the voice channel: "Professor Xiao, my musical instrument and senior Gui's writing brush are completely useless to her, and all control skills are invalid! Sister Ying's dagger can't kill her? It should be It’s not Zongzi! Sister Ying has gone somewhere, and I can’t get in touch via voice!”

Xiao Lou hurriedly said, "How did Huaying disappear?"

Ye Qi said: "I was strangled by this woman, and then disappeared."

Xiao Lou thought for a while, broke free from Yu Hanjiang's arm, took a deep breath, and took the initiative to walk in front of the woman.

The woman suddenly flew over and grabbed Xiao Lou's neck!

Seeing this scene made Yu Hanjiang's heart tremble, and he reflexively wanted to protect Xiao Lou, but Xiao Lou stopped him softly: "It's okay, everyone, don't resist." His voice was very calm: "This woman is not an entity, we can't touch her. Touching her, hurting her, of course she can't really hurt us."

Everyone: "........."

Yu Han

Jiang stopped abruptly.

The next moment, Xiao Lou also disappeared in front of everyone.

Yu Hanjiang's heart trembled violently. He was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Lou, but if Xiao Lou died, wouldn't he not even be able to see the body? So, did Xiao Lou and Chu Huaying enter another dimension?

Thinking of this, he took a step forward without hesitation, and took the initiative to touch the woman in red, but was strangled by the woman.

Then Yu Hanjiang also disappeared.

Lu Jiuchuan helped his forehead helplessly: "Let's go together and see what the hell this thing is doing."

Everyone touched the porcelain together, the blood and tears in the eyes of the woman in red became more and more, and the sharp claws kept pinching everyone's necks...

It wasn't until the last person disappeared that everyone was shocked to discover——

The six of them returned to the original stone chamber.

The sarcophagus in front of him was motionless, not shaking. There is no dazzling fresh blood on it, but only the dark black blood that has dried up thousands of years ago. The horrible scene just now seemed to be just a momentary illusion.

Xiao Lou was standing in front of the sarcophagus, looking thoughtfully at the charms on the sarcophagus.

Yu Hanjiang walked over nervously: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Xiao Lou held down the voice headset and said to his teammates: "This woman should be an insubstantial wraith, which can be understood as a phantom formed by the condensation of a strong resentment. Just now, we were attacked by this kind of Resentment is brought into the illusion."

*****

【Chapter 390, Wraith】

Hearing Xiao Lou's words, everyone's expressions became serious involuntarily.

In the secret room on the other side, everyone stopped resisting according to Xiao Lou's instructions, and followed them back to the stone room together, saw Chu Huaying standing in front of the sarcophagus, and heard Xiao Lou's analysis.

Ye Qi quickly understood: "So, everything just now was just an illusion? So, our various card skills have no effect on her, and stabbing her with a dagger can't hurt her?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "This secret room has never changed. The sarcophagus remains in place, no fresh blood seeps out of it, and nothing crawls out. It's just that we were affected by hallucinations as soon as we entered the secret room, so I don’t know that I’m in an illusion. Once I can’t find this out in time, fighting desperately with the resentful spirits will only consume energy and be futile.”

Shao Qingge rubbed his temples, and said: "Xiao Lou, what you mean is that when we enter the secret room, everything we see is already an illusion, and we must be 'choked to death' by this resentful spirit to return to reality. And Under normal circumstances, when we see a wraith, we will avoid and resist, and the more we resist, the more vicious the wraith will be?"

"That's right, only by not resisting and being 'killed' by her resentment can one escape from the illusion of resentment created by her." Xiao Lou paused, then continued, "These two women were buried alive in the ancient tomb. Their resentment before they died, and the condensed resentment, may give us some important clues."

Ye Qi's voice came from next to his ear: "Clues? What kind of clues is the illusion just now giving us?"

Xiao Lou asked: "Is the woman you saw wearing a red wedding dress, embroidered shoes on her feet, and some jewelry on her head?"

Ye Qi nodded: "That's right, a bride with disheveled hair, blood and tears in her eyes, and a face as white as a ghost... By the way, she is indeed a ghost, right? Is there any difference between a wraith and a ghost?"

Xiao Lou couldn't tell the difference between a wraith and a ghost for a while, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with understanding her as a ghost?

Ye Qi's answer told him that the wraiths in the secret rooms on both sides were the same bride.

Xiao Lou looked at the coffin in front of him thoughtfully, and said, "Since the two women are wearing wedding dresses, it is very likely that they were directly put into the sarcophagus and buried alive on their wedding night."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

The wedding night should be the happiest moment in many people's lives.

Women in ancient times were raised by their parents with painstaking efforts, and married at a young age. When they got married, they must have fantasized about what their husbands would be like. Tall and heroic men would treat them well. On their wedding night, they might still shy, nervous...

As a result, she was married in a wedding gown, and instead of being sent to the bridal chamber, she was put into a sarcophagus?

The shock, fear and anger of the two women can be imagined.

It's no wonder that the resentment they felt after being buried alive persisted for a long time, and even those who entered the stone chamber were brought into illusion.

When Qu Wanyue heard this, she said softly, "It's too cruel to bury the bride alive... Is this what Professor Xiao said, a priestly ceremony?"

"Well. I speculated that this ancient tomb was a living burial tomb, and it seems that I guessed correctly. The owner of the ancient tomb is likely to perform a living sacrifice ceremony, so he put the bride in a coffin and buried him alive. He looked at the sarcophagus in front of him and said, "So far, we have only found two sarcophagi. Maybe there will be more sarcophagi in the ancient tomb."

After all, it is a living sacrifice. It seems unreasonable to sacrifice only two tombs with such a large tomb?

Xiao Lou leaned over to carefully observe the spells on the sarcophagus, and always felt a little familiar.

Suddenly, he thought of the scene of the woman in red grabbing his neck forcefully just now——

On the woman's head, in addition to the hairpin, there is also a crooked comb, which seems to be engraved with the same symbol?

Xiao Lou turned around and walked out of the stone room, stopping in front of the mural.

The mural is a grand wedding scene. He found that there are similar symbols on many utensils and dowry boxes at the wedding banquet.

However, in the huge murals, it is more difficult to notice these subtle clues.

Xiao Loudao: "This symbol appears on the sarcophagus, comb, and dowry items. It is likely to be the symbol of the woman's family."

Old Mo leaned over to take a closer look, and said, "This symbol looks a bit like... a grimace totem?"

Yu Hanjiang also came over and stood beside Xiao Lou, looked at the symbols that appeared in the murals, and said in a low voice: "I heard that in ancient times, many villages and tribes would have their own gods they believed in. This totem is indeed like a female mother." clan symbol."

Xiao Lou pressed the voice headset and asked the teammates on the opposite side: "Look carefully at the spells on the sarcophagus, and then go to the murals outside. Can you find the same pattern?"

Soon, Ye Qi's excited voice came from next to his ear: "I found it! The dowry boxes at the wedding banquet are all engraved with the same pattern as the sarcophagus. It's a bit like... a totem of a wolf?"

Xiao Loudao: "What we found here looks more like a grimace."

Hearing this, Gui Yuanzhang analyzed in a low voice: "The women buried alive in the two stone chambers obviously came from different tribes. Could it be that the owner of the tomb wanted to marry women from different tribes and put them in a coffin and bury them alive on the wedding day to achieve an agreement? A priestly ritual?"

The more everyone listened, the more they felt chills down their spines.

From the moment they entered this living burial tomb, everyone felt a strange and eerie feeling.

It turned out that too many living people were buried? Or are they all brides buried on the wedding day?

Chu Huaying calmly said: "So, if we want to leave the ancient tomb, we need to find all the brides who were buried alive, and then draw a floor plan based on the location of the tomb where they were buried, and guess the exit of the ancient tomb?"

Xiao Lou suddenly remembered the priest ceremony in Liuxi Village.

At that time, the seven gemstones were placed in different corners of the village and placed in the shape of a "human body" to priest the girl who was brutally murdered that year. How many brides were buried alive in this ancient tomb? Where were they buried? What would it mean to be a priest?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "We have to find the other brides slowly, let's open the sarcophagus first."

Everyone: "..."

Open the sarcophagus, shall we? Why did Xiao Lou speak so calmly when he said this? It's like everyone's dull rice.

Yu Hanjiang understood Xiao Lou's thoughts: "You want to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Ye Qi thought of the woman who was shedding blood and tears just now, and goosebumps came off her back: "Professor Xiao, are you sure you want to open the coffin? Maybe a zongzi really popped out this time?"

Xiao Loudao: "Guardians also have principles. The same trick is rarely used twice in a row. We have already scared us with the Wraith Spirit just now. There should not be a Zongzi that is easier to deal with than the Wraith Spirit."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the sarcophagus.

The lid of the sarcophagus flew up just now, and the bride in red climbed out of it, all of that was an illusion.

At this time, the sarcophagus was still quietly placed in place, and Xiao Lou signaled Yu Hanjiang to open the lid. Yu Hanjiang's method was simple and rude, and he went straight to use a saber to chop horizontally, and the whole cover was lifted off.

Sure enough, there was a... a skeleton in a red wedding dress lying inside the coffin.

The age is too long, the corpse has long since decayed, leaving only bones, wearing a bright red wedding dress, this picture makes the bottom of my heart creepy.

After being put into the sarcophagus, she struggled crazily, causing black and red blood stains all over the inside of the sarcophagus. Her two hands clasping the sarcophagus were all broken, and all the bones in her hands were broken.

But her wooden comb lay quietly in the coffin.

Xiao Loudao: "Judging from the degree of bone development, this girl should be under 18 years old."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing: "This group of beasts actually put such a young girl into a coffin and buried it alive?!"

Xiao Lou picked up the wooden comb with the grimace totem engraved on it: "Hold it first, maybe it will be used in the next mechanism."

Since Xiao Lou and the others opened the coffin for autopsy, Gui Yuanzhang also opened the sarcophagus.

Inside was also a skeleton wearing a wedding dress, and they found a bracelet in the coffin.

Ye Qi remembered: "When that female ghost strangled Sister Huaying's neck just now, she was wearing this bracelet."

He carefully picked up the bracelet.

Xiao Lou said: "Everyone continue to go deep into the maze. In this ancient tomb, there must be more than two people buried alive."
