The author's diary of ghost stories

Chapter 194 Farewell, Xu Cixi.

Yu Liang, who was lying in the coffin, moved his body and adjusted into a more comfortable posture.

He was not in a hurry to get out, because he had already prepared a plan to escape from the coffin in his mind, and he just needed to leave at the right time.

Of course it won't be now. It's very gloomy outside and the Yin Wedding Band is still playing. Run out at this time...

He had been lying in this coffin for nearly three minutes. During this period, the sound of kowtows outside the coffin never stopped.

Even Li Huachao was a little confused: "Isn't it just a CP for the hard team, how can it be so easy to beat?"

Lu Baoshen said firmly: "So they will definitely become more stupid the more they fight."

"Are you scolding me again?" Li Huachao retorted.

"Ah?" Lu Baoshen was confused.

Yu Liang was as lazy as ever to chat on the public screen in the universe, and he also felt a vague headache.

Now there are only two created characters, and with Lu Mingzhe included, there are only three. When there are really more characters in the future, won't his universe be very noisy?

Maybe the memo will really hit him, and he might become schizophrenic.

No, in the future he can completely throw the temporarily unused characters into the scene cards of the universe to explore and stamp them.

Well, pretty good.

Exploit employees in all aspects.

Yu Liang turned on his phone and found the software that appeared inexplicably on his phone.

The above "good" things and "taboo" things have not changed. And if his guess is correct, there is a same character in almost everything above.

Xu Cixi.

To be honest, he didn't know what was going on with Xu Cixi sleeping next door.

Yu Liang only knew that she and the monster on the seventh floor not long ago should be one and the same, but since she looked normal now, he would not take the initiative to attack it.

Naturally, the priority now is to find out what is going on with her and solve the root of the strange rumors about her.

She has two states so far.

One is a monster form, similar to a detached person, the body can be separated freely, and the other is the current player form, but in fact the player form is dead and is just a corpse.

Xu Cixi, who is in a state of fragmentation, has T1 level supernatural strength, which shows that the level of ghost stories in her is at least T1 level.

The biggest possibility is that it is related to the "moon", and maybe it has something to do with him in the first week of the week.

"Everyone is a corpse, and all corpses are ghosts."

Yu Liang hasn't yet understood what this sentence means. He can only guess that it has something to do with Xu Cixi's current special state.

"Bang-click."

Suddenly, Yu Liang heard a loud kowtow, but this sound seemed to be the sound of everyone outside knocking to the ground together, and then their skulls cracked, making a heart-breaking creaking sound.

There was no groaning or gasping for breath, as if he had just completed a trivial task.

After that, there was no sound from outside, the unknown bands stopped moving, and only an eerily quiet atmosphere leaked in from the cracks in the coffin.

The mournful music also stopped at this moment.

Yu Liang was a little confused about the situation. The sudden silence made him dare not move much in the coffin. He didn't want to attract the attention of the monsters in the room.

"Get up the sedan——"

A sharp sound came from the direction of the inner door of the room, and then Yu Liang heard messy footsteps coming here. It seemed that someone had lifted his coffin and walked in one direction.

The mournful music sounded again, but this time the music was mixed with a restless suona, which seemed to be playing a festive tune.

Although it was the only one playing like this, it sounded very ear-piercing, and it was impossible to ignore the sound of the suona.

Where are they taking me?

Yu Liangliang was confused, but he didn't dare to go out in this situation. The outside of the coffin was full of ghosts, and it would not be in line with his style to break out directly.

These "people" carrying the coffin were not floating, but actually walking, so Yu Liang could also feel the coffin sinking and sinking with their steps, which was very rhythmic.

etc……

It seems like they didn't leave the room?

Yu Liang recalled the whole process just now and confirmed that he did not hear the sound of the door opening.

That is, they circle around the room?

"fall--"

The sharp sound sounded again, and Yu Liang also heard the sounds of guests coming and going gradually approaching, and there were also sounds of joy mixed with crying.

"Congratulations, woo."

"I'm so happy, so happy."

"Borrowed it, borrowed it."

At this moment, there were chaotic footsteps in the room, there were many people talking, and the music was constantly teasing Yu Liang's inner irritability.

He didn't know why, but this irritability gradually turned into a heart-wrenching sadness, as if he was really experiencing separation between life and death.

"Tell me, did the coffin on the right move just now?" a guest at the banquet asked.

This sentence seemed to appear directly in Yu Liang's heart, so he could still hear it clearly even though he was separated from the coffin.

The coffin on the right?

Wasn't that because Xu Cixi's coffin moved?

"Hey, I don't want to talk nonsense."

"Just now I saw a black cat passing over the coffin. Do you think it could... blame me? You can't talk nonsense. This girl from the Xu family died violently just a few days ago, so you can't talk nonsense." The guest patted her gently. He opened his mouth and seemed to be blaming himself.

"But...then again, when did the Xu family girl die? It seems...on the National Day, right? Today it seems to be...Is it because I missed home? I came back to see, and it happened to be a happy event. ." Another guest said.

Yu Liang frowned slightly when he heard this in the coffin. Before, it was a battle between two sides of the moon. Why does this dark marriage now have a bit of Chinese horror?

But speaking of it, when he first entered the dungeon, there was a software called "Tiantian Jili" to read the almanac. There was also a brass water dish full of scales in his room, which seemed to be more Chinese style.

It's not too abrupt.

So this copy originally had a strong Chinese flavor, but he never paid much attention to it.

It is completely different from the previous copies.

He began to think about the words of the two guests.

When did Xu Cixi die?

According to her previous statement, she only had memories of the tenth day of October, so he guessed that she died on the tenth day of October.

Now listening to what this guest said, Xu Cixi actually died on October 11th.

This is not a big difference.

Because Xu Cixi didn't remember how she died, it was normal for her to lose the memory of October 1st, the day of her death.

Then counting the days, October 15th is the fifth day after death. Looking back after October 15th, it is today the sixth day of October...

It's the sixth day.

After a person dies, he will return to his soul at midnight on the first seven days and choose to go home.

The time calculation in the past was different from now. Every day started from midnight, and midnight was from 11pm to 1am.

From this time...

Yu Liang looked at his phone.

There are only a few hours left.

Yu Liang in the coffin calculated the days and couldn't help but be surprised that he had missed such important information.

He couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.

The seventh day of October is Xu Cixi's first day, so why did Xu Cixi come to him on the sixth day of October?

Check out the spots in advance?

It was possible. After all, his place was not technically her home. It would be right to go there in advance to see if he was home.

It was normal to look for him. She was supposed to go home, but since there was no home in this copy, it was reasonable for her to focus on Yu Liang, the only person she knew well.

But on the seventh day of October...

The first seven?

Was it a mistake?

Yu Liang only vaguely had this concept, and suddenly felt a slight numbness on his scalp.

This doesn't seem to be a good thing.

He struggled to recall some idea of the custom in his mind.

In reality, he did write some folklore and supernatural stories, but they were often not in-depth. Writing in depth would run the risk of feudal superstition.

It couldn't be published or published anyway, so he didn't do any in-depth research. Now when he wanted to use the relevant content, his brain was a little stuck.

My memory is a bit hazy, and I can barely find a few words about the custom of the "First Seven".

Yu Liang is not very young yet, so the older generation knows better about these things. He basically has a blank look, and all his impressions of the "First Seven" come from some horror movies.

After thinking for a while, the impression in his mind gradually became clear.

Yes, that's right.

If a woman hits the number seven on the first seven days, it will be a sign of conflict, which is a bad omen and means that she will not be able to survive on the road to hell.

It is often necessary to ask the master to recite sutras and perform practices to help break the hell. If you do not perform the practices, the soul head will be detained, which can range from white evil to evil.

If you want to solve the ghost story about "Xu Cixi", you just need to go back at 11 o'clock in the evening to make arrangements in advance and send away the ghost of "Xu Cixi" safely.

Yu Liang made a plan in his heart, and then opened the Tiantian Ji Calendar.

As an almanac software, there should be stuff related to the first seven folk customs, right?

Otherwise, how should a player who doesn't understand folklore solve such strange stories?

Yu Liang searched on the main page and soon found the relevant instructions.

To sum it up, it’s about three things.

Place white lanterns at the door of your home to guide the souls of the dead.

Prepare a delicious meal so that the souls of the deceased can eat and drink well enough to go on their way.

Finally, sleep.

Relatives and friends must be avoided and cannot be seen by the dead soul, otherwise they will have the idea of "nostalgic for the world", which is not conducive to reincarnation.

Even if you can't sleep, you should hide under the covers and avoid it as much as possible.

And if the number seven hits the number seven, it is best not to show up at home if there are people whose zodiac sign conflicts with the soul of the dead.

Yu Liang did the math and found out that he was born in the year of Rat and Xu Cixi was in Dragon. There was no conflict between Dragon and Rat, so he would not violate any taboos.

There is even a recording of "The Master's Recitation of the Transcendence Sutra" in this software, but you need to watch an advertisement to unlock it.

The content of the advertisement...

It's the masked man's shop.

hehe.

Helpless, Yu Liang could only watch the advertisement for more than a minute in the coffin, and at this time he also learned the location of the masked man's shop.

Southeast of the supermarket on the first floor.

I'll let Li Hua go find you later.

Yu Liang thought silently in his heart.

At this point, the elements to solve this strange story have been basically gathered, but Yu Liang is a little confused.

Why is the plot of "shadow marriage" included in the process of decryption and exploration?

seemingly……

It didn't have any obvious effect, right?

Yu Liang felt a little strange when he connected "yin marriage" and "first seven", and he was still the groom of this yin marriage.

At some point, the sounds outside gradually stopped.

After the wedding banquet, everything calmed down.

It seems they are all gone.

Yu Liang listened for a while and decided to leave the coffin.

He still has to go back and arrange the first seven. After all, there is only so much time left today. If the strange story about "Xu Cixi" cannot be solved today, the trouble may be left to Yu Liang next time.

This coffin is locked, and his current posture is not easy to exert force, and he cannot exert force. After all, he only has his right hand.

It is possible to enter the mirror world. Although he is still in the coffin, he can change the properties of items in the mirror world.

Of course, the premise is that this item is not noticed by the ghost story copy.

If the coffin is a key item in a dungeon, then naturally it cannot be changed that easily.

So he chose to use a lighter method, one that all players can use.

Suspect.

He recalled the words he had seen on the coffin board.

The first half of the month is doubt, the second half is faith. The moon is ugly, the moon is beautiful.

It's the sixth day of October, the first half of the month.

According to his speculation, the first half of the month should not be about faith.

And it also says that the moon is ugly and beautiful at the same time, which should mean that doubt is ugly and belief is beautiful.

However, there was also a specific explanation for admiring the moon in "Yi" in the Tiantian auspicious calendar before.

Moon Appreciation: Appreciate the perfect, full, white moon.

This can also be seen as a contradiction.

If the first half of the month was doubt, doubt would have been ugly, and now it has become perfect.

It shows that "faith" is really lying and deceiving.

Even bad deeds must be blamed on "doubt".

As Yu Liang became suspicious of the moon, a beam of moonlight also appeared in front of him, melting the coffin board in front of him and shining in.

Yu Liang, who had expected it in his heart, turned his head and stepped aside in time. This was not the first time he had "suspiciousness", so he could naturally see this beam of moonlight.

The moment the moonlight shone in, Yu Liang's right hand popped the silver coin out of the coffin, and at the same time it switched to Lu Mingzhe.

[Qian Shu].

The positions of the silver coin and his were reversed, and when he stood up again, he was already back in the room.

At this time, the layout of the room was no different from before. If he hadn't been listening to the noise outside, he wouldn't even have thought that a minimalist wedding had happened here.

Yu Liang knocked on the coffin next door several times, but there was no movement in that coffin.

The corpse that was alive and kicking before now looks like a real corpse.

Maybe I won't wake up until eleven o'clock.

Yu Liang sighed, turned and left.

He didn't have much time, so he walked quickly and returned to his home on the seventh floor in a short time.

The curtains in the living room have been drawn up. This may be what "Xu Cixi" did before leaving.

Yu Liang opened the refrigerator and found vegetables and meat.

Looking at the kitchen, basically everything is available in the kitchen.

He turned back to the living room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find incense and white paper, and made something that looked like a lantern and a ladder.

This kind of thing handmade by players will also not be recognized by the Kaitan World, so it cannot participate in the synthesis of characters.

Hang up the white lanterns, light some incense, and burn the paper ladder.

There are only ten minutes left before midnight today to prepare simple dishes and put them on the table.

Yu Liang walked slowly back to his room and got into bed.

He turned on his phone and called up the audio of the chanting of salvation.

Now I'm just waiting for "Xu Cixi" to come back.

As long as he solves this strange story, he will be able to relieve himself of a heavy burden.

After lying on the bed, Yu Liang calmed down and realized a problem.

He was consciously ignoring one thing.

The one who turned into a corpse was Xu Cixi.

It was Xu Cixi who died.

The one who needs to say goodbye is Xu Cixi.

Before that, he only viewed everything he encountered so far as a necessary process to clear the level.

Including "Yu Liang" in the first episode, Yu Liang knew that guy would definitely not kill everyone just because of Xu Cixi's death, in order to resurrect Xu Cixi.

High probability...

Just roll with it.

Or he simply used Xu Cixi to cover up his true purpose and deceived his "faith".

To him, these clues and these characters are just tool men, without much emotion involved.

According to the "Tiantian Jili", the souls that return in the first seven days are to reincarnate the dead souls after giving up their obsessions.

Those chanted scriptures are also to help the souls of the deceased break through the underworld and enter hell better.

After all this is done, Xu Cixi should leave.

He didn't know if there was an underworld or a hell in this world, but in the world of ghost stories, leaving meant leaving.

Just never see it again.

Yu Liang's head emerged from the bed.

He looked at the dark ceiling.

My eyes were wide open but I couldn't see anything.
