first divine calculation

Chapter 174

Banruo knew about Huo Yubai's accident after receiving a call from Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo's car to pick her up was already parked at the door. Banruo got into the car and went to Huo's house soon.

"Hanruo, something happened to Yubai!"

Mr. Huo has been waiting at the door for a long time. Although he is very old, he is still tall. Perhaps because of his suit, he looks very majestic. At this time, seeing Prajna, he walked forward with a cane.

"Old man, don't worry." Banruo comforted, he led Mr. Huo into the old house of the Huo family, but found that everyone in the Huo family looked solemn.

Mrs. Huo was also crying, worried about her son.

Seeing her, Mrs. Huo only glanced at her, then lowered her head and continued to cry, while Mrs. Huo smiled and held her hand.

"Good boy, let you run again."

"Grandma Huo, his business is my business." After Banruo finished speaking, she looked at Mr. Huo and asked, "Mr. Huo, what's going on? I've never heard him talk about it."

Mr. Huo said in a deep voice:

"The country found a mausoleum deep in the mountains. The dynasty of the tomb is unknown, and the ethnic group is also unknown. It seems to be an ethnic group that has never appeared in history. The country attaches great importance to it and did not announce it to the public. It just sent a lot of people there, but What is strange is that for some reason, the archaeologists who went there failed to get out of the deep mountain, and many martial arts masters sent there did not have any information. Therefore, the superiors issued a notice to let Yu Bai go The future is unpredictable. Elder Ji came to discuss with me at the time, and I can't make the decision. As a grandfather, I am really afraid that my grandson will have an accident, let alone he is the head of the Huo family. If he makes a mistake, what should our Huo family do!"

Having said that, Mr. Huo sighed, a trace of impatience and exhaustion appeared on his majestic face, he squeezed the center of his brows, and said:
"But he still decided to go. Before he left, I asked him if he wanted to tell you. He said he would tell you when he came back."

Prajna's throat tightened when she heard this.

She knew what he meant, and it was precisely because this trip was very dangerous that he didn't want to worry herself.

"Where did he go?"

Huo Lao handed the map to Banruo, he circled a place on the map and said, "It's right here."

"Okay! I'm going now!" Banruo finished speaking and was about to go outside.

"Wait! I'll send a few people to follow you, so I can take care of you." Huo Lao said.

"it is good!"

As soon as Banruo walked out of the gate of Huo's house, she saw Li Yan and Sun Qiang standing at the door.

"Why are you here?" Prajna asked with a frown.

"The boss and I received a notice from above to help the Huo family find someone. The boss knew that you would intervene, so he came here to find you."

Li Yan glanced at the crowd with a cold expression, Banruo nodded to him as a greeting.

The car quickly drove to the mountain marked on the map. This mountain is on the border of Sichuan Province. This mountain is very evil. Few people will go in. Some adventure lovers or hiking enthusiasts have tried to cross this mountain, but no one Walk out alive, so this mountain is also called "Dead Man's Mountain".

After entering the mountain, the bodyguards of the Huo family replaced the car with an authentic off-road vehicle. Even so, the car was still unable to climb the slope after walking for a while. The reason is that there is no road repair at all, and driving can only take small roads, which are very bumpy.

After entering the mountain, it was already dark, and the cold wind was blowing, which made people feel cold.

At this moment, the bodyguards of the Huo family noticed continuous fire in front of them.

"There seems to be a village ahead."

"Village?" Banruo and Li Yan looked at each other, and they looked at the map again.

The map shows that this is a mountain range, and there are no villages at all.

At this moment, Banruo sensed a yin energy coming from the left rear, she turned her head subconsciously, but saw that the direction was empty and there was nothing.

"Hanruo, follow up!" Sun Qiang urged.

Banruo looked suspiciously again, but still didn't see anything.

At this moment, they approached this village, which was low-lying and surrounded by steep mountain walls at ninety degrees. They built houses and lived in the open space in the middle of the mountain walls.

Banruo lay on the mountain wall, looking down at the group of people coming in and out below.

It's so late, and there is no electricity in this village, what are so many people doing?
"Li Yan?" Prajna looked at him. "I always feel that there is something wrong with these people, but if you want me to say what is wrong, I can't tell. After the power disappears, I can't see ghosts. Can you see it?"

Li Yan shook his head silently.

"No ghosts!"

"This is weird..." Prajna said to herself.

At this time, she felt a cloud of yin attacking around her again, Banruo looked around vigilantly, but there was still no one around.

At this moment, Prajna saw the villagers climbing up the mountain wall. They dug square holes one by one on the mountain wall, and then climbed to these holes, and then transported a cuboid thing out of it.

Banruo was so familiar with that thing that he knew it was a coffin at a glance!
Banruo and Li Yan looked at each other, and they lay there without making a sound. At this moment, these villagers carried down the coffins. Until later, the coffins filled the open space, and everyone had a coffin beside them. .

At this moment, they held a ceremony, and then everyone opened the coffin and took out corpses from it. Although the distance was too far and the sky was too dark, Prajna could not see the appearance of the corpses clearly, but vaguely It can be seen that the corpses are very well preserved, and most of them are not decomposed, otherwise the villagers would not be able to hold the corpses.

Then, they carried the corpses to the vat, soaked them in the bucket, bathed them, and wiped them as if they were alive.

"What the hell are these perverts doing!" Sun Qiang couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"As you can see." Prajna said.

"However, some of these corpses have been dead for a long time. How could they not have rotted? Could it be that there are unique preservation techniques in the local area?"

Banruo didn't answer, but only shifted his eyes to the square caves on the mountain wall. Banruo had heard Feng Zongyuan mention that corpses are stored in airtight caves, which are not easy to rot. Such corpses can be preserved for a long time. Gradually turning into a mummy, not like being buried in the soil, it is easy to rot and grow insects, so some peoples in the world still have the habit of burying their corpses in caves. During the ghost festival in these places, the corpses of their ancestors will even be carried out to bathe Changing clothes as if they were alive, hugging them, even bringing the dead bodies home, sleeping with them.

However, this is the first time that Hannya has seen such a thing with his own eyes.

Banruo looked at the people below, and said to himself: "I always feel that there is something wrong with these people..."

At this moment, Banruo sensed a yin energy behind him, and Li Yan seemed to notice it too, and both of them turned their heads.

I saw a cliff behind me. This cliff seemed to be very high. Whenever the wind blew past, there would be a ghostly cry of "wuwu".

Banruo walked to the edge of the cliff. As soon as she approached, she felt a strong Yin Qi attacking.

"Be careful!" Li Yan said coldly.

He grabbed Banruo, and Banruo stepped back. After she stood still again, she looked at the black hole under the cliff and said coldly: "Flashlight!"

Several bodyguards of the Huo family hurriedly shone their flashlights down the cliff.

With just this photo, the scene below the cliff suddenly appeared in front of Banruo. There was only a white bone with hair, "looking" at her expressionlessly, and beside the white bone was a pile of white bones, and a dead man Heap, those people didn't know how they died, but they were obviously thrown down from here after death. Therefore, the pile became a pile of people, and the pile was very high. At first glance, Hannya was almost shocked.

"Aren't these the archaeologists? And the experts sent by the country last time, why were they all killed?" Sun Qiang asked.

Banruo frowned even more. This tribe existed apart from the national map, and there was no record in history. No legal concept?Anyway, there are more and more puzzles.

Banruo suddenly thought of something, she took the flashlight, looked at the crowd, and then looked at the corpses one by one, fortunately, there was no Huo Yubai here.

Seeing this, Prajna could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The mysterious tribe in the deep mountains will live here for a long time, and its origin is definitely not simple.

Banruo took out the compass, centered on the location of the tribe, and began to calculate. Immediately, she frowned and said:
"The layout here is a bit like the layout of some ethnic cemeteries."

"What do you mean?" Sun Qiang leaned over and asked, "Master, what do you mean by that?"

Banruo looked around, then pinched his fingers to calculate, and said: "The people of this tribe are obviously guarding something. I also thought of the ancient tomb that Huo Yubai and the others found nearby, so I deduce that this group of people is guarding here. In the mountain wall, it is obviously to protect an ancient tomb."

After finishing speaking, Banruo frowned and pondered: "It's just that the entrance to this tomb is somewhere."

She walked in the opposite direction, turned her back to the direction of the tribe, and took out the compass.

Later, Banruo came to the top of the mountain wall, she looked down at the tribe below, and looked at the square tomb with four walls, and she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I understand!" Banruo said eagerly: "If you look at the tomb as a plan, each tomb has a direction, so the direction of the ancient tomb should be in..."

Banruo pointed to the one in the middle of the tomb in the southeast, and said, "The entrance should be there..."

"There?"

After hearing this, everyone was not only not happy, but worried. The position Banruo pointed to was in the middle of the mountain wall, and it was very difficult to climb. Especially Banruo was a girl. For her physical strength, climbing the mountain It's no small challenge.

As if knowing their worries, Banruo said in a deep voice, "I'm fine!"

"Either wait until dawn..." Sun Qiang suggested.

"No! If you wait one minute longer, they will be in more danger!" Prajna Buyi insisted on entering the cemetery now.

Sun Qiang knew that her boyfriend was also trapped inside, so he didn't dare to stop him, he just said: "I don't care, it's you, I'm afraid you will crawl and fall, hum! Don't fall into those dead bodies' bath In the bucket, that would be disgusting!"

Prajna frowned even more when she heard the words, she put on the safety gear in silence, then followed them and crawled towards the tomb.

They climbed down while the people in the tribe were away. Who knows, at the same time, a black-faced man in the tribe looked at their figures and asked:

"Brother, do you want me to find someone to beat them down?"

"No need..." The man looked towards the grave, his eyes filled with a strange luster. "Reincarnated in a thousand years, open the door to another world! The ghost king returns! The ghost wife wakes up! This world is about to change!"

When they came to the entrance, Sun Qiang quickly pulled out the coffin at the entrance of the cave. He took a photo with a flashlight, only to find that the coffin looked like an ordinary coffin from the outside, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that the other end of the coffin had no side , In other words, this coffin is just a cover-up, it is the door of this cemetery.

Li Yan jumped into the coffin and slid in. Soon, Banruo also climbed in. To Banruo's surprise, the entrance of the tomb turned out to be like a slide. She slid left and right for a long time before entering. ancient tomb.

Everyone wore hats with flashlights on their heads. Hannya looked around. There was a special pattern engraved around this ancient tomb. These patterns seemed to be related to sacrifices. There were many masked ghosts painted inside. , different shapes, various, wearing different clothes, have different looks, but without exception, these ghosts are all walking in the same direction, and the ghost walking in front of them, wearing a green silk baggy Robe, wearing a hat with gemstones, his specific appearance can't be clearly seen in this painting, only his outline can be barely seen, no matter in temperament or figure, this man is peerless and handsome!
Under his feet, there are a few little ghosts lying on his feet, kneeling and crawling forward, as if they are worshiping him.

Obviously, this man is the leader of this group of ghosts, their head.

"Ghost King!"

Li Yan walked over, looked at the man, and frowned even tighter. He stretched out his hand and touched the surroundings of the mural. It may be related to the age, and the inscriptions and inscriptions around the mural are already blurred. up.

"Is he the ghost king?"

"Hmm!" Li Yan said.

"Master, you should ask me about this, I know!" Sun Qiang hurriedly told what he knew: "In the past thousands of years, only such a ghost king has emerged. It is said that thousands of years ago, the ghost king opened the gate of ghosts and released Hundred ghosts, on the day of Ghost Festival, there was a picture of hundreds of ghosts walking at night, which caused chaos in the world. Many people were scared to death because of seeing ghosts. At that time, all the celestial masters came out to deal with the ghost king and his subordinates. The master is very powerful. He tried his best to close the gate of ghosts and trap the ghost king. Therefore, there have been no great turmoil and disasters in the world for 1000 years. However, it is said that the spell of the ghost king can only suppress thousands of years. Thousands of years later, the ghost king will have a chance to return to the human world, which is why the ghosts in the cemetery said that when they hunted ghosts in the paper shop last time."

When Banruo heard about this for the first time, she was stunned for a moment, and then vaguely remembered that those ghosts had indeed mentioned the name of the ghost king.

"How powerful is the ghost king?"

"It is said that the ghost king can order all the ghosts to walk at night, so that all the ghosts will follow him faithfully. Once he is resurrected, how can any ghost be willing to obediently reincarnate? I am afraid that all the ghosts will follow behind him and come to harm the world."

After hearing this, Banruo frowned even tighter. Looking at the mural, she felt that all the ghosts on this mural were determined to win, and they were very proud of it. The painting was very expressive, and the expressions of all the ghosts were clearly visible. Looking at Banruo's appearance with raised eyebrows, Banruo almost doubted that the ghost would fly down from the mural in the next second.

Banruo didn't stay in front of this painting for too long, she walked forward quickly, and the more she walked in, she felt a chill hit, and the dark air in the depths of the tomb became more and more heavy, and Banruo found out after walking a few steps. There is a bifurcation in front.

"According to ancient funeral customs, the tomb of the owner or man should be buried in the main place, and his wife should be buried in the side room next to it."

"So, where are we going?" Sun Qiang asked.

Prajna pointed to the right and said, "Go to the right first!"

A lot of water accumulated on the ground in the cave, and while walking, Hannya found that water was dripping from the stone above his head. However, this tomb was built ingeniously. There was a water tank on the left and right sides of the tomb, which was similar to the design of a drainage ditch. After coming down, it will flow into the water tank and be drained away, which shows how ingenious the design of this tomb is!It can also be inferred that the owner of this tomb is by no means an ordinary person.

There were a lot of bronze and gold wares piled up in the tomb, as well as a box of jewelry, but Hannya only glanced at it, and then moved his gaze to the coffin in the middle of the room.

The coffin was well preserved, without much damage, but unfortunately, the lid of the coffin had already been opened, and the coffin was empty, with nothing in it.

"Who opened this coffin?" Sun Qiang asked.

Prajna shook her head, and she moved the torch around the tomb. At this time, she walked from the side door of the tomb to the side tomb next to it, where a coffin was also placed in the middle of the tomb.

Everyone walked into the cemetery together.

The moment she entered the cemetery, Banruo smelled a scent of agarwood in the air. She took a closer look and found that the smell of agarwood came from this coffin. After a closer look, Banruo found that the coffin was very beautifully made , the four corners of the coffin were in the shape of auspicious clouds, raised high, and snake patterns were engraved around the coffin. The whole coffin looked very different, different from the coffins she had seen before.

Also, there is one thing about this coffin that is completely different from the other coffins—this one is bright red!

Banruo suddenly remembered Feng Zongyuan once said that a coffin made of agarwood can last for a long time, even a thousand years, and even the people in the coffin will not rot. Although Banruo has never seen it before, but seeing this coffin now, But for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of alertness.

Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from under the coffin, Banruo and the others subconsciously took a few steps back, Banruo frowned and looked at the stone slab under the coffin, before she could react, the coffin suddenly floated up.

Banruo and his group were shocked, and looked up at the coffin in horror. The coffin floated higher and higher, and finally floated in mid-air.

Banruo put her hand on her pocket subconsciously, just in case things changed, she was able to take out the spell and magic weapon immediately, and Li Yan also pulled out the Soul Eater Sword and held it in her hand.

At this time, under the dim light, there was a sudden rustling sound from the coffin. Everyone held their breaths, not daring to breathe, and only looked at the coffin without blinking. Suddenly, a piece of red cloth Appeared from the coffin, followed by a figure swaying, and then stood up abruptly.

This woman has a young face, black hair, and creamy skin. Yes, this woman's service seems to belong to a thousand years ago, and the hair bun that this woman wears also looks ancient, but she is actually very well preserved, with no scars on her body. There is a trace of damage, and the skin is fair, but it is not that pale, it still looks bloody.

She drew thin eyebrows, and her demeanor looked a little cold, because she was far away, and Banruo couldn't see her clearly when she raised her head. At this moment, everyone shone their flashlights at the woman, and Banruo squinted her eyes to see the light. When I looked carefully, I unexpectedly discovered that the woman's face...

He looks exactly like himself!
"Ah..." Banruo couldn't help but took a step back, although she was used to seeing ghosts, but seeing this scene, she was still scared out of her wits!
That's right, that person looks exactly like her. She looks like she is looking in a mirror. That woman is clearly another self. Although she is dressed differently, she looks exactly the same.

"how is this possible……"

Banruo frowned more and more tightly, she looked dignified, and said to herself in disbelief: "How could it be possible that I look exactly like me!"

And although the woman stood up, she didn't do anything else, just stood on the coffin with her eyes closed and a smile on her lips.

This scene was too weird. The bodyguards looked at this woman and then at Banruo, they were too scared to speak, and subconsciously stood far away from Banruo.

"Don't be afraid!" Li Yan's voice was cold and hard.

After Li Yan finished speaking, he drew out the Soul Eater Sword.

"what are you going to do?"

"Kill her!" Li Yan said concisely.

"Kill her? Why?" Prajna asked puzzledly: "Isn't she already dead? Besides, we are archaeological for the country, so we should know that we should try our best to restore the real situation of this ancient tomb. There is a female corpse, but you want to kill her with a sword, it is superfluous and incomprehensible!"

"She must die!"

"Why?" Banruo learned appreciation after Ji Yuanbai, and also involved some knowledge of cultural relics protection. Everything in this kind of tomb is a cultural relic protected by the state and should not be destroyed casually, including the corpse.

Li Yan glanced at the woman, his gaze was cold and stern, but an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he said coldly:
"She is a ghost wife!"

"Ghost wife?" Banruo considers herself to be an elite in the industry, but today, she has never heard of the ghost king and ghost wife that Li Yan said.

"Yes!" After Li Yan finished speaking, he stopped talking, just holding the Soul Devouring Sword, using all his mana, and stabbing it suddenly.

However, before the Soul-devouring Sword touched her, a layer of golden light suddenly flashed around the woman. This golden light shield was very hard, and quickly pushed the Soul-devouring Sword back.

Seeing this, Li Yan frowned even tighter. "Oops!"

Things happened one after another tonight, all very strange, Banruo looked at the woman who looked exactly like him, always felt a little strange in his heart.

Soon, she looked around and said, "Where is Huo Yubai? Why is there no one in this tomb?"

"There is another road over there!" Sun Qiang pointed to the side path and said, "Go in and have a look?"

He and a few bodyguards took the lead, Banruo followed behind them, and crawled into the path. Soon, Banruo found that they had come to a secret room again. Banruo looked around, and she suddenly smelled something in the air. There was a smell of blood, and immediately, a rustling sound of flapping wings came from above the head.

In the quiet tomb, the voice was so clear that everyone could see it, but no one dared to look up.

At this moment, a drop of something dripped from the top of the tomb, and it happened to fall on Banruo's face. Banruo stretched out his hand and touched it, but found that his finger was red with blood.

It turned out that what dripped on her face turned out to be a drop of blood!

Hannya raised her head suddenly. At this moment, she couldn't believe her eyes. She saw that the top of the tomb was crowded and covered with a kind of insect with wings. This kind of insect was black and had a carapace. Dragging a transparent sac, which, strangely enough, is filled with a reddish-black liquid in all insects.

"It's blood! This kind of bug sucks blood!" a bodyguard called out.

Banruo suddenly looked around, only to realize that in the far corner of the tomb, several dead bodies were lying there in disorder. Judging by their clothes, they were obviously archaeological team members.

No wonder none of the archaeologists can get out of this ancient tomb. It turns out that there are so many blood-sucking beetles in this ancient tomb, and these beetles look like unicorns, but they are not unicorns. Ten centimeters long, but this kind of beetle is only the size of a thumb. In fact, Hannya has never seen this kind of beetle before. There are so many of them that they cover the entire top of the tomb, making it look like a layer of black velvet , and they are flapping their wings at this moment, obviously planning to find the target and fly over!

"What is this?" A few bodyguards were anxious. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the archaeologists were sucked to death by the beetles.

"Prajna!" Suddenly, a call came from the end of the room, and Huo Yubai's tall figure was standing there.

He quickly walked over, took Prajna's hand, and said, "Quick! Get out of here with me!"

While speaking, the bodyguard who spoke just now couldn't bear it any longer, and he yelled: "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I want to go back!" He rushed towards the entrance where he came.

Unexpectedly, just after he took a few steps, the vibration startled the beetles, and those blood-sucking beetles suddenly vibrated their wings and flew towards him.

"Ah..." The bodyguard only had time to call out, and saw that these beetles were good at attacking in groups, and they swarmed towards the bodyguard. Before the bodyguard could do anything, every inch of skin on his body was densely stung by beetles, even a complete piece There was no skin left, and these beetles, as if they had been hungry and thirsty for many days, couldn't wait to suck blood.

In just a moment, Banruo didn't even have time to take out the spell to save him. When she looked up again, she saw that those beetles had already left, and the sacs behind their carapaces were already bulging with blood, and their bodies suddenly regained weight. When I got up, I wobbled while flying, as if I was drunk.

And the tall bodyguard who was standing next to Banruo just now, all the blood in his body was sucked dry at this moment, not even a drop remained, turning into a veritable mummy.

Everyone was scared out of their wits, and everyone was pale.

Banruo forced herself to calm down, everything tonight was beyond her expectations, this village that was not on the map, this mysterious ancient tomb, the woman in the tomb that looked exactly like herself, this blood-sucking beetle she had never seen before ...

She had a premonition that the originally peaceful life had left her, and her following life was not destined to be peaceful.

But right now, after the bodyguard was sucked dry, everyone was terrified.

"Don't be afraid! Try to walk as small as possible. This kind of insect is very sensitive to vibrations and likes fast-moving objects. As long as we walk slowly, we won't provoke them!" Huo Yubai said in a deep voice.

So, everyone followed Huo Yubai carefully and walked out of the room.

After reaching another room, Sun Qiang quickly took off his clothes and blocked the entrance.

"Damn it! I'm scared to death! What kind of insect is this? It actually sucks blood?" Sun Qiang asked.
