Mystery Leaks

Chapter 312 Dream Rules
"The Ten Palaces of Yama are also constantly changing. The losers either lose their souls, or lose the palace, and become wild ghosts. Only those who succeed can become the King of Hades in the underworld. The history of the rise of the ghost emperor Zhong Kui is the history of the older generation of Yama Kings and Ghost Emperors." In the history of the fall, in this world, perhaps there has never been a real eternal life." Wang Jian'an said with a general feeling.

I nodded. In the natural state, the kings of Hades of the Ten Temples do live the same life as the heaven and the earth, but the problem is that they will be expelled and killed.

The flashes of swords and swords inside are shocking when you think about it.

"Which of the three factions is the most powerful?" Huang Mao asked.

"If you want to say who is the strongest, of course it is Ksitigarbha, but it has always been in the deepest part of hell, and it rarely interferes with the affairs of the underworld. Only the bull head and horse face in the first temple follow it. Of course it would be Li Qing, if not, Ksitigarbha and Zhong Kui would not have reached a compromise with Li Qing." Sai Yuer replied.

Huang Mao nodded and said, "I didn't expect there to be such ways in the underworld."

I frowned slightly. Regarding the bull-headed and horse-faced matter, I had checked some information before, especially after being attacked by a bull-headed pawn last time.

The bull head and horse noodles were indeed brought over from Tianzhu, not native to the Central Plains, but a kind of guardian in Buddhism.Presumably it was Ksitigarbha who took him to the underworld and became the leader of the ghost soldiers in the underworld.

The orthodox leader of the ghost soldiers in the underworld should be Black and White Wuchang, and Wuchang Guicha is under his command. There is no doubt that Black and White Wuchang must belong to the ghost emperor Zhong Kui.

"Who is the judge now?"

I hurriedly asked, the judge is the ghost messenger of the underworld who is in charge of the book of life and death. He has great power and can decide whether a person is reincarnated or sent to hell to suffer with a single word.

The most important thing is that he is clearly alive and kicking, but in the book of life and death, he is a dead person.This has to make me wonder, is there something tricky in it?Is the curse of the ominous man's "short life" also related to this trick?
I'm not sure, I'm always a little bit worried in my heart.

Why would an unlucky person "die early" and not live past sixteen?
"The current judge is called Lao Wen, and his tenure doesn't seem to be very long, probably less than a hundred years." Wang Jian'an said.

"Which faction does it belong to?" I asked.

"The first hall is very important. Except for the bull's head and horse face, they all belong to the ghost emperor." Sai Yu'er replied.

I murmured in my heart, thinking that I have never heard of this Lao Wen. I have checked the information on this before. Some said that the judge was called Cui Jue, and some said that the judge was called Zhong Kui. Lai Wen, I have never heard of it. .

"What's the background of Lai Wen?" Huang Mao's eyes flickered slightly, as if he understood what I was wondering, and asked for me.

"I don't know about this. The affairs of the underworld are very secretive. It often takes a long time before a little bit of news comes out. If we don't rely on the forces behind us, it is impossible to understand these things." Wang Jian'an said.

Sai Yuer also nodded slightly: "Yin and Yang are separated, so you can't just inquire about the affairs of the underworld."

I nodded, expressing my understanding.

After chatting for a few more words, Wang Jian'an said: "Okay, let's not talk about the underworld. These flaying ghosts either ran out while taking advantage of the chaos in the underworld, or were released on purpose. In short, there are ten people here. Eighty-nine are their lairs, so be careful. These things have no other hobbies, they just like to skin people alive."

"They must have left hands and feet on these human skins. Once you touch it, the skinner will find us coming in." Sai Yu'er added.

We all nodded.

So he followed Wang Jian'an, started again little by little, and explored the depths of the cave.

The suspended human skin followed me for a while, then slowly turned and left, disappearing into the thick darkness behind.

……

The deeper you go into the cave, the stronger the chilly aura becomes, as if you have entered into the Nine Netherworld, it is gloomy and makes you feel very uncomfortable.

Cao Nan shrank her neck and looked around nervously.

"Don't look around, be careful of falling into a trap." Wang Jian'an warned.

Cao Nan nodded in fright, not daring to look around.

Not long after, two forked roads appeared in front of them. They were dark and they didn't know where they led.

Wang Jian'an observed it for a while, and couldn't help frowning. If it was a single intestine that went all the way, it would be easy to investigate.

As for the ghosts, the four of us are practitioners, so we are not afraid of them.

But the fork is difficult. If there is another fork in the fork, and then twists and turns, you may get lost.

"The one on the left has no footprints!" Huang Mao said while shining the flashlight.

Everyone looked to the left, indeed.

At this moment, I suddenly felt a red shadow flashing by the side road on the right. The flashlight shone through and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that I felt a bit like a hallucination.

"What's wrong?" Hu Lai asked hastily.

I hesitated for a moment, "It seems that something flashed by."

"Since they went to the left side and didn't come out, let's go to the right side." Wang Jian'an suggested.

So we went to the right. After entering the passage, I observed carefully, but I didn't find anything similar to footprints.

After thinking about it, I don't bother to care about it anymore. Our strength lies here. Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with earth. As long as it dares to come out, it is guaranteed that it will not even recognize its mother when it is beaten.

After walking for a while, a corner appeared in front of us. The flashlight swept past, and all of us stopped immediately.

A corpse, technically a skinned and bloodied corpse, hung from the ceiling of the cave by a meat hook.The flesh that has been peeled off the skin oozes blood, but the amount is not large, so the blood beads coagulate, like the bumps on the toad, which is shocking. If you have intensive phobia, you will definitely faint right now.

This scene is exactly the same as the way the tomb robber's subordinates were skinned after the strange incident happened.

There was also a lot of blood leaking from the ground, but the blood hadn't completely dried up, and it was dark red instead of black.

Apparently, the men survived long after they were flayed.

I suppressed the discomfort and took a closer look at this person's face. It was blurry without the skin, and I couldn't recognize it at all. The only thing that was notable was that there were three stud holes in his ears.

Huang Mao took out the Xuanxin mirror, took a look at the corpse, and said: "This man's tongue was cut off, and he lived for a long time after his thin skin. He bled to death."

"These things are cruel enough!" Cao Nan said speechlessly.

"Keep going, be careful!" Wang Jian'an took a few glances and greeted.

We bypassed the corpse and continued to go deeper into the cave, but not long after, we encountered another corpse, still skinless and naked, the difference was that the bloodstains had dried up, and a pair of terrified eyes widened, the pupils of which shrank into The eye of a needle was pierced, and the shape of his face was distorted to the extreme.

"This should have been frightened to death. The blood has dried up for a long time, and I have been dead for more than a day." Huang Mao said.

After that, it was the third one, and the fourth one!
These people were hung in the cave to dry like bacon. Since they didn't have any items to prove their identities, their skins were peeled off, and their faces looked unreal, so it was impossible to know where these people came from.

And then, the fifth one!

Sixth!
Seventh!
The eighth!
Ninth!
The more we look at it, the more alarmed we become, and the more we look at it, the more we feel that something is wrong.Huangmao judged that there were about four people before, but it doubled in one fell swoop. You must know that they have no way to hide their footprints.

I looked up, and suddenly felt that this corpse was somewhat familiar. When I looked closely, I was shocked.

There are clearly three earring holes on the ears of this corpse!
It is clearly the same one!
Instead of eight bodies, we're going round and round and back to the first body.

"Not good, I was hit by a wall by a ghost." Wang Jian'an realized something was wrong.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a ghost hitting the wall." Sai Yuer also changed his mind and said, "There are only four corpses in total. We circled twice, and this is the third time. If it's just a ghost hitting the wall, the second We should find out that something is wrong.”

"Could it be..." Wang Jianan frowned fiercely, as if he was not sure.

Huang Mao seemed to think of something, his face changed drastically, and he said: "There are no footprints of us on the ground. Although the corpses are similar, but the posture has changed. This is not a ghost hitting the wall, but a nightmare!"

"Hand in hand to prevent being scattered!" Sai Yuer's expression changed drastically.We were so frightened that it must be extremely dangerous to move Wang Jianan and Sai Yuer so much.

After the voice fell, everyone held hands immediately, and my position was slightly farther away. The moment I rushed over, the flashlights in everyone's hands went out without warning.

In an instant, there was darkness in front of my eyes, and I only felt that my hand was being held by a very soft and warm hand.

It's Sai Yuer!

The moment the lights went out, she let go of everyone, rushed to me and took her hand.

"what's the situation?"

I gulped down a mouthful of saliva, because at this moment I could no longer feel the aura of Huang Maolai, Wang Jianan and the other four, they disappeared without a trace, just like the light suddenly went out.

The dark environment made me feel hairy all over. Although I have faced many dangers, this environment mixed with ghosts still makes me feel lingering.Although I understand that sometimes people are more dangerous than ghosts, it is difficult to overcome the fear of ghosts.

At this time, Sai Yuer tried to light the fire, but the flint kept sparking, but he couldn't light the fire.

"We have fallen into a nightmare, and the fire light is restricted." Sai Yuer's voice was extremely dignified.

I immediately took out the lighter in my pocket and tried it. Sure enough, the electronic lighter fired an electric spark, and the gas "chucked" out, but it couldn't be lit.

"How could this be?" I was very puzzled.

"Nightmare is, to put it bluntly, a dream. What we feel, see, and hear are all dreams. The Nightmare Lord can set the rules of the dream. It turns off the fire; maybe it turns off other things." Sai Yuer said.

Thousands of alpacas run wildly past in my heart, the Lord of Nightmare can make rules, so what the hell?In the dream it was God, no wonder Wang Jianan and Sai Yuer were so nervous.

"What would happen if we died in a dream?"

"That's really dead!"
