Mysterious Resurrection: Seize the Artifact

Chapter 177 Chess
"What rules?" Cheng Yu asked suspiciously.

The shadowy youth looked at the darkness behind him, his eyes were lowered, and his voice was dull:
"The rules of the theater troupe are in the backstage, and those who leave the stage must be allowed to come on stage. Generally speaking, people who are not part of the theater troupe are not allowed to enter the stage, especially when the theater troupe starts to sing."

"But these are all about the troupe outside. It's different here. Here we can enter the backstage, and when we enter the backstage, it is equivalent to the end of the stage. So when I saw those ghosts just now, I directly chose to let them Dao, let them pass, because the people we leave must let those who come in."

"And as long as we give way, those ghosts will not attack us. This can be said to be the rule of the troupe."

Hearing the explanation of the shadowy youth, Cheng Yu and the woman immediately understood what was going on, but one problem was solved, and a new one popped up:
"Then why, after those ghosts passed by, we have to run so fast? Aren't you afraid that we will accidentally trigger some taboo?"

The shady young man looked at the woman who asked the question, and looked at the woman with the eyes of a wise man looking at a fool, while Cheng Yu was thoughtful in his eyes, suddenly he seemed to think of something, and turned his head to look at the direction when he came:
"Generally speaking, only after a play is sung, when it's the turn of another play, will someone come on stage, and only after the people from the previous play have left the stage and the stage is vacant, can it be someone else's turn to perform. "

Having said that, Cheng Yu didn't continue talking, and the expression on his face was very solemn. After hearing Cheng Yu's words, the woman shrank her pupils and opened her mouth:

"That is to say, there will be ghosts coming and going from the stage, and these ghosts will not attack us just because we give way to them, so you just run away."

Hearing the woman's words, the Yinyi youth was noncommittal, but nodded and said:

"That's it. The ghosts that are going to end don't have such rules, so once we meet the ghosts that are going to end, we will be attacked [-]% of the time."

The voice of the shadowy youth was very calm, Cheng Yu and the woman's pupils shrank.

The shadowy youth withdrew his gaze from the darkness and turned his head to look at the wooden door in front of him. This is the end of the corridor. As long as they pass through here, they can reach the hall. If there is no accident, their task will be easy.

"Go in later, don't touch anything, don't make noise, don't run, just walk at a normal speed."

After finishing speaking, the shadowy youth pushed open the door of the room, and walked in first. Seeing the shadowy youth who entered the room directly, Cheng Yu and the woman turned their eyes slightly, followed without speaking.

creak
After the three of them entered the room, the door of the room closed tightly automatically, and footsteps sounded in the corridor, and five phantoms in costumes slowly appeared from the darkness.

As long as they slow down, they will directly encounter these ghosts. It can be said that the time is just right.

In the room, the three of them looked at the boxes piled up on both sides. On each box was a bowl of rice with chopsticks inserted. On the other side, there was a wooden shelf with painted masks hanging on it.

There are 36 red, white, green, black, and colorful ones in total, and the shelves are filled to the brim.

The shadowy young man looked at the scene of the door, his pupils shrank, and he reminded Cheng Yu and the two in a low voice:
"Hurry up, don't touch these things, try to stay away from them."

Hearing the reminder from the shadowy youth, both of them were aware of the danger of these things, so they did not die, and followed the shadowy youth towards the inside.

The room was not very big, the three of them passed boxes of rice, walking lightly, along the way, they also saw a black umbrella in the corner, and a chessboard in front of a shelf, it was chess, they know each other.

And in the west corner of the room, there is an altar in a square shape, complete with tributes, two sticks of red wax, three sticks of incense, and paper money under the altar, but it is not burned.

The two sticks of red wax and the three sticks of incense were all lit, and the red candlelight was flickering in the room. The image of the god enshrined on the altar was covered by a piece of red cloth, and it was unknown what god was enshrined.

According to the tradition of the opera troupe, the person enshrined should be the holy and true emperor, that is, Erlang God.

But if you are here, if you don't uncover the red cloth, God knows what is enshrined in the altar.

The three of them looked at all this, Cheng Yu and the two didn't think there was anything, they just felt that these things were weird and dangerous, but the shadowy youth was different. When he saw these arrangements, he was shocked, and the cold sweat was just barely Just a little bit will soak your back.

He knows the rules of the troupe, not only the rules outside, but he also knows the rules here, but when he saw the layout here, he just felt that this is not a place for people to stay.

This theater troupe has taken care of all the taboos that should be generalized and should not be generalized, such as why you can't hold an umbrella in the background, you can't play chess, you can't have an upside-down meal, and so on.

But here it is good, there is an umbrella upright in the corner, the box is full of toutou rice, a chessboard is placed directly under the shelf, and what's more terrible is that the altar is actually placed on the west side...

The Yin Yin youth felt that if the troupe could be successfully opened with this kind of arrangement outside, it would be due to the fate of the troupe's people.

Looking at these arrangements, the Yinyi youth swallowed his saliva and did not speak. He led the two of them carefully past these arrangements and walked towards the door in the room.

In the dim room, the glowing red candles swayed slightly in the air. The woman looked at the two candles beside the altar, not knowing what to think.

When she passed by the chessboard, the corners of her clothes were suddenly blown slightly by the wind, and the corners of her clothes were accidentally brushed against the chessboard.

The woman didn't notice this change, her attention was all attracted by the altar.

But at this moment, her vision flickered, and the world spun around. When she regained her sight, she found that she was already sitting in front of the chessboard, and sitting opposite her was an old man with a numb expression and dark pupils.

Seeing this scene, the woman's pupils constricted, her eyes were full of horror, and she just wanted to struggle, but she found in despair that no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't stand up from the chessboard, and the ghost in her body seemed to disappear, and she couldn't feel it at all. less than.

And at this moment, the old man sitting opposite the woman stretched out his withered and blackened hand, directly picked up a cannon on the chessboard, and ate her horse without hesitation.

Before she could react, her horse was gone. The moment her horse was eaten by the old man's cannon, the woman's face changed drastically, and an unspeakable fear spread in her heart.

Her hands were gone, the woman looked at her rotten hands, her eyes were full of horror, she looked up at the old man sitting opposite her, her face was pale, her lips were parted, and she wanted to say something, but after a long time, she said No words came out.
