The beggar kowtowed loudly, but everyone on both sides seemed not to notice the beggar begging, and they all stood there motionless.
After a while, the beggar's head was bleeding.
Although the beggar's face was covered with blood, he was still pleading there. Old Tree Bark looked at the Hanged Man and said, "Hanged Man, the beggar has been with us for so many years. How about we go over and give it a try?"
The woman called the Hanged Ghost said softly: "You have to go, but I won't go. I still want to live a little longer! If I can't even pass the first level and die in Luoyezhuang, then I won't be able to go." I can’t even hold my head up even if I’m a ghost.”
"Besides, that man is so domineering. If I go over, why should I be eaten to death by him?"
Only then did I realize that they were "fighting for the lead."
There are nine of us here, and each has his or her own thoughts. If everything goes smoothly when going through the hurdles, it would be okay to say that once we encounter something difficult to decide, if nine people and eight different ideas cannot convince anyone, just this kind of internal friction between different opinions is enough to cause us a fatal crisis. What's more, we still have the fatal mystery of Luoye Village hanging over our heads?
If we want to survive, we must choose a "leader" to lead the team.
The attitude of the few people who stood over was very clear. They did not have the strength to compete for the top spot and were willing to listen to others' orders. The remaining three people wanted to compete with Ye Sanqi for the top spot.
Now, there are exactly nine of us. If one person is missing, the puzzle of Luoye Village will not be solved. Hanged ghost, Lao Shupi was sure that Ye Sanqi didn't dare to kill anyone anymore, so he used this method to compete with Ye Sanqi for the lead.
Ye Sanqi said: "You don't know that as long as there are seven of us standing here, the puzzle of Luoyezhuang will still be solved, right?"
The Hanged Man sneered: "I really haven't heard of it, how about you give it a try?"
Ye Sanqi pointed his sword at the beggar: "Come here."
For a moment, the beggar didn't know whether he should go to Ye Sanqi or not, and subconsciously looked at the hanged man in the distance. The latter said: "If he asks you to go over, just go over! I want to see if he can solve the mystery of Luoye Village."
The beggar then stood up and walked towards Ye Sanqi: "Sir, please show me your noble hand!"
"Stand over there!" Ye Sanqi casually pointed to the side, and the beggar also stood aside.
As soon as the beggar stood firm, the jade flute in Ye Sanqi's hand turned half a circle downwards, and the sword in the flute popped out. Ye Sanqi gently let go, and the sword in the flute plunged into the ground instantly.
As soon as the sword in the flute was firmly established, eight golden runes surrounded the snow-white jade flute and spread in all directions. The entire courtyard also trembled violently with the shining runes.
I clearly felt that something was moving in different directions under the surface, but I couldn't tell whether it was ghosts, gods, or agencies that were frightened away by the runes.
The hanged man's expression changed dramatically: "You...what did you do?"
Ye Sanqi said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that the ninth level and the first level have been exchanged. If we go directly to the ninth level, we can save the trouble of the previous eight levels. Isn't this good?"
"You..." The Hanged Man wanted to speak, but the words came to his lips but nothing came out.
Ye Sanqi saved them eight passes at once, which was equivalent to saving the lives of more than half of them. However, the price he paid for saving lives was that they faced greater danger.
Thank you, that's not the case; scolding, that's not the case either. The feeling is enough to stifle a person to death.
I took the opportunity to say: "I asked you to come over, but you can't come over. My master can only use seven people to solve the problem. If there are two less people to solve the problem, there will definitely be a problem, right? No, the ninth level will become the first level."
The hanged man's face, which was already pale, turned blue with anger.
The originally dark courtyard was now lit up with a little candlelight.
The light spot that seemed to be floating in the endless netherworld gradually came closer, and everyone except Ye Sanqi tensed up.
The candlelight stayed two meters away from us. Behind the halo, a woman with a cold face and all in white clothes appeared. She said quietly: "My name is Shiqing. I died in this yard, but I am looking for you." You can't find your own body. If you can find my body and find out the cause of my death, you will pass the test. But..."
Shiqing suddenly showed a strange sneer: "If you make a mistake, people will die!"
"After this candle is extinguished and relit, the things that happened to me in the past begin. Please pay attention. If you read it wrong, you will have to stay with me."
"After the lights go out, I will say something to each of you. This sentence can save your lives. Don't tell others! Otherwise, you will regret it."
While Shi Qing was talking, the candlelight gradually went out, and the entire courtyard became invisible. Even if I had practiced my eyesight, I couldn't see if there was anyone within half a foot.
Ye Sanqi's voice came quietly: "Stand there, don't move, don't touch things. Also, no matter what that woman said to you, don't tell me. I won't tell you the things I heard either. .”
When Ye Sanqi told me not to move, I felt a tremor in my body.
What he said was tantamount to telling me: The evil ghost is coming.
It is recorded in "Ghost Spectrum": In such a dark situation where no one is visible, you can judge the location of the ghost through hearing and smell, but you cannot reach out and touch it.
Whether you hear the dark wind flowing, or footsteps approaching, or you smell the smell of the dead getting stronger, it means there is a ghost approaching you in the dark.
At this time, either stand still and wait for the ghost to leave on its own. Or just shoot the anti-evil items in the direction where you judge the ghost is coming. Never reach out and touch to determine what is nearby.
It would be better if you touched a pair of cold hands or a stiff face. In case, if you put your hand into Li Gui's mouth, you won't want those fingers anymore.
As soon as I stood up, I smelled a strange smell of dead people coming from around me.
After death, a peculiar smell will naturally emit from the body, even if it is a person who has just died. When doing ordinary things, strong-smelling incense candles are usually used to cover up the smell of the corpse. Many people have never smelled the stench of a decomposing corpse, but they have smelled the smell of corpses and incense candles mixed together. That smell makes people even more frightened.
When the peculiar smell wafted from behind me, I also felt the slightest cool breeze blowing in my ears. Then, Shiqing's cold skin was pressed against my face: "There are dead people among you, don't Let him lie to you."
