After I said this, Chen Yulin glared at me: "We adults are discussing things, why do you, a kid, get in the way?"
I rolled my eyes at him unhappily and stopped answering.
Liu Ruxiang hesitated for a while, and then said: "Actually, my opinion is similar to that of Wenshan. It would be more appropriate for us to continue moving forward. After all, when we didn't find this map before, didn't we just make up our mind to go forward?"
"If I change my mind temporarily at this time, I don't think it's inappropriate, but... forget it, I can't say."
Chen Yulin took the map over at this time, looked at it for a while and said: "I think we should go back. Even if we don't go out, we can't go forward. The people behind this have already calculated that we will go forward. Maybe we will do it in front." Well, if there is an ambush, or there is some preparation to kill us, then we have fallen into the trap of those people. We cannot be led by the nose."
What Chen Yulin said is not unreasonable. Being led by others will directly change from active to passive. We are not in an equal position at all. There will be no guarantee for the safety of our group.
The fourth uncle was undecided at this time.
"Forget it, let's just throw the talisman." Chen Yulin sighed and chose to throw the talisman.
After all, the master is also a clergy member of a religious sect, and he also knows some divination skills, except for grass divination and chicken divination. The throwing of talisman is a basic skill.
Chen Yulin took out his pair of talismans, which were uglier than Liu Ruxiang's and had several spots eaten away by insects.
After singing two lines of Master's scriptures and briefly talking about the current situation, Chen Yulin let go of his hand and let a pair of talismans fall to the ground with a clang.
One tune and one flat, this time the fortune teller is to continue moving forward, which is a bad sign.
Chen Yulin picked up the talisman again and turned around again this time.
After falling to the ground, it was still flat and curved, still looking fierce.
Everyone's expressions were ugly. After all, the question just now was still about which one to choose, but now it has become a direct decision.
It wasn't until the seventh divination that the talisman fell to the ground and turned into two curved surfaces. This time it was finally an auspicious sign. But this time the divination person continued to move forward.
The fourth uncle's expression suddenly became very subtle.
"I suddenly remembered something. Old Chen, please step aside."
Chen Yulin's face darkened, knowing that the Fourth Master did not trust him, he snorted coldly, walked forward for more than ten meters, went behind a big rock, untied his pants and started to drain.
The fourth uncle looked around at this time, lowered his voice, and said to us: "I suspect that Chen Yulin is probably the corpse exorcist, or the person who came to deal with us secretly."
"He is also a master, and don't forget that the Chen family obtained our family's unique method of spitting ink by marrying off the ancestor a hundred years ago. Maybe now there is a way, and it can be broken. must."
Liu Ruxiang was dubious, and still didn't like to be suspicious of others: "Fourth uncle, he just took action to deal with that zombie, and he did his best."
The fourth uncle snorted coldly: "It's just for show, otherwise why didn't the zombie catch him in the first place instead of coming to deal with Wenshan?"
There is no way to explain the fourth uncle's question. All these questions point to Chen Yulin at the same time.
"Then how should we go then?"
The fourth uncle lowered his voice: "Let's let Chen Yulin choose first. No matter what he chooses, we will choose something different, right?"
Liu Ruxiang thought again and again and nodded slowly.
Of course I had no objection. This old man from the Chen family was indeed hateful. I wanted to confront him at that time.
The three of us agreed and then called Chen Yulin to come over and continue the discussion.
As planned just now, the fourth uncle asked him straight to the point: "Old Chen, please choose again now. Where do you think it is better for us to go?"
Chen Yulin replied without thinking: "I just thought it would be better to turn back, and I made a divination later. After all, continuing to move forward shows good luck first. I choose to believe in the divination, and it is better to go forward."
The fourth uncle was a little hesitant, but he still said as he had just discussed: "I suddenly felt that it would be better for us to go back the way we came. Because you think, we just climbed up from the cave below, and there is a way out there. If we go back If you encounter trouble on the way, you can retreat from the cave entrance to the cave below. But, does the road ahead lead to the exit? We have never been to this, and we don’t know. If it is a dead end and there is trouble behind it, then Just get blocked and it’s over!”
The fourth uncle had good reasons. Liu Ruxiang continued: "The fourth uncle and I have the same opinion."
Okay, now there is a two to one advantage, and the minority must obey the majority.
Chen Yulin thought for a while: "That's okay, just turn around and go back."
The four of us turned around again. When we just walked over, we didn't expect that we would have to walk back here again.
Fortunately, there were no lights on on the way here, so the cave scene in front of us was not that boring. After walking around and looking around, we soon arrived at the area with clothes we encountered before.
Previously, there were several coffins on the ground here. The corpses in the coffins were all poured out, which made Chen Yulin feel heartbroken.
But now that we encountered it again, our eyes widened.
The corpses in the coffins just now disappeared!
Could this corpse be walking?
Liu Ruxiang's face darkened.
"Where are those people hiding in the dark?" The fourth uncle was quite angry and weakly beat the coffin on the ground.
Chen Yulin also gritted his teeth: "Gou, damn it, is this the unscrupulous guy who secretly moved the body of my ancestor? If I catch him, I will beat him to death."
They took turns scolding each other, and their anger was almost gone, but they couldn't find the person hiding in the secret.
The enemy is in darkness and we are in the dark, we are already passive.
But everything has its turn, and I happened to see something familiar. I knelt down, picked it up, and looked at it in front of my eyes.
What was pressed down by the corner of the coffin turned out to be a black cloth shoe worn by a dead man.
These shoes are very simple, and even the black color has become very dull.
I turned around and asked Liu Ruxiang: "Master, can you use these shoes to find people by stepping on them?"
Liu Ruxiang shook her head: "The person is already dead. Trapping on shoes to find the person cannot be done."
I looked disappointed, but Liu Ruxiang's eyes sparkled: "But the method of looking for ghosts by stepping on shoes can be done."
"Shoes are something that people often wear, and the feet are also very special. They correspond to the twenty-four meridians and internal organs of the person, so the shoes are contaminated with the breath of the person's soul, and they can be used to find people."
"And that person has been dead for a long time, but his body is still intact. Logically speaking, there will be a breath of soul left behind. At this time, if you use the magic of stepping on shoes to find people, you can also find it."
The fourth uncle's eyes lit up: "Hahaha, sure enough, there is a way. As long as this spell can be done, then we can follow the body without any effort, and maybe we can find the whereabouts of the person behind the scenes. ."
"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, and one of them can escape people. It's true."
Liu Ruxiang lit the incense, bowed briefly, and then began to take the longevity shoe and tie it to her feet.
This time, the master's scriptures changed. Liu Ruxiang put the yellow paper on the ground, stepped on it with her feet, and finally determined the direction with her toes. The group walked towards the depths of the grotto.
We were all very excited, as if we had seen it, we immediately found the person hiding in the corner and beat him until he was half dead.
Walking forward step by step, we soon arrived at the place where we just met Chen Yulin.
Just ahead, there was a three-way intersection in the cave. One was where we climbed from the coffin hanging on the cliff, and the other was leading to a cave of unknown location.
And Liu Ruxiang’s ghost-finding magic by stepping on shoes directly pointed us all to that unknown place.
And coincidentally, the map showed that this side could also lead to the exit on the other side.
Everything pointed us here, so naturally without any doubt, the group walked in.
The terrain here seems to be starting to rise. We could still see some puddles of water on the ground along the way. Now here, the ground is completely dry, with only a few drops of water occasionally dripping on the walls.
Shining the flashlight on the ground, I suddenly saw something on the ground.
"Stop."
Everyone looked at me in confusion. Chen Yulin glared at me fiercely and said, "Little bastard, what's the matter with you?"
I didn't say anything, squatted down with a flashlight, and pointed at some shoe prints on the ground: "Someone has been here."
The fourth uncle turned to Chen Yulin and asked: "You have just been here, take a look, are these your footprints?"
Chen Yulin stepped on his shoes and saw that the pattern on the soles was not his.
"Okay, there is indeed someone else behind this." The fourth uncle clenched his fists in anger.
After observing the shoe prints, we continued to set off, but not long after we got deeper, we suddenly smelled a faint smell of smoke.
My nose has been extremely sensitive since I was a child, and I immediately felt something was wrong. The temperature in this deep mountain cave is constant all year round. If no one deliberately lit a fire, there would be absolutely no smoke smell.
"What's going on? Someone started a fire here." As soon as I finished speaking, everyone else also smelled the smell.
The smoke seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. It was a pure choking mist that made me feel sick when I inhaled it.
"No, please be careful." Liu Ruxiang put away the yellow paper on the ground and stopped using her shoes to look for ghosts.
Shining the flashlight behind us, we suddenly discovered that the smoke was coming from behind us.
