As the strange aroma disappeared, a group of men who had been fighting each other earlier stopped attacking each other. As soon as they stopped, the crowd covered their faces, groaned, and some people simply fell to the ground. Howling miserably, they then yelled curses at their opponents. Even He Fei and Zhao Ping, who had just fought hard, covered their faces and moaned in pain. It was obvious from everyone's reaction at this moment that they had memories. Not only did they know I was in a fight just now, and I even knew who the opponent I was fighting with was crazy. But the blame lies here. Even though I have retained the memory of the previous fight, I can still find a problem from the almost identical blank expressions of everyone, That is, although they knew they were fighting just now, they just didn't know why they were fighting? Why do you have to fight each other like crazy? ?
As described, the facts are also true. As the person with the highest level of understanding present, He Fei was the first to notice that something was wrong. Thinking of this, he ignored the other people who were moaning next to him. He Fei covered his face and asked Zhao Ping: "What's going on? What happened? Zhao Ping, me, why should I fight with you? What happened just now!?"
"Ugh..."
Seeing He Fei asking himself, covering his face that was also red and swollen, although the man with glasses was panting and quite embarrassed, he still said truthfully in an indifferent tone that fit his personality: "Like you, I don't know the specific reason, but I Knowing what happened during this period, from the moment I saw the Queen's corpse, I somehow developed a good impression of her. This good feeling had no origin, and the more I saw the female corpse, the stronger the feeling became. In the end, the good feeling turned into obsession. Then At that time, I only had one thought in my mind, which was to get her and possess her for myself. Later, I fought with you. Besides..."
"I firmly believe that I was conscious throughout the whole process."
As expected of the calm man with glasses who has been calm for thousands of years, Zhao Ping explained the whole process truthfully as the madness disappeared and returned to normal. In fact, what Zhao Ping said was not only his personal feelings, but also the true feelings of all the male members such as He Fei. In other words, no matter who it was at that time, including He Fei and Zhao Ping, their real experience was like this, and the last sentence specially added by Zhao Ping still contained deep meaning, and the meaning was not complicated. It was to remind and tell everyone, They were awake at the time, and there was absolutely no hallucination in their bodies. Whether it was the initial smell of the fragrance or the subsequent sighting of the Queen, and later the affection for the Queen's corpse and the involuntary fight, when these things happened, all Everyone has a clear mind.
"Yes, Zhao Ping is right, that's what happened! I couldn't help it at the time. His grandmother's. For some reason, ever since I saw this Wu Zetian, I felt good. Although I also knew that this was a dead person, I just I was attracted to her, and finally I came up with the idea of possessing her! Also, from the moment I felt good to her, my consciousness was always clear, so it didn’t feel like I was hallucinating?" Because Zhao Ping directly hit the point. , so as soon as the man with glasses finished speaking and did not bother to question each other with Chen Xiaoyao, Peng Hu took the lead to express his agreement, believing that what Zhao Ping said was exactly the same as his own experience. Except for Peng Hu, the other male members also nodded, so The collective recognized this point of view. However, precisely because they recognized that their own experiences were completely consistent with what Zhao Ping said, the question that made He Fei and everyone collectively confused came back again, that is...
Since Zhao Ping firmly believed that his mind was fully awake when he and his companions were fighting each other madly, and others also believed that he was not hallucinating, then why were they extremely obsessed with the female corpse in the coffin? What happened to the subsequent big fights where they beat each other to death?
Without being affected by any hallucinations at all and with their own minds clear, everyone went crazy and beat each other out of control. Even He Fei was not spared!
this……
(How could this happen? Even I was hit involuntarily. I couldn't even break free after being hit. This is impossible? I've always been good at cracking hallucinations and other mental attacks. Why was I so easily attacked this time? ...What is going on? What is it that causes me to go crazy for no reason?)
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on He Fei's forehead. It can be imagined that even He Fei couldn't explain the problem, let alone others. For a while, everyone fell into a collective confusion, and no one could explain it. Experience, of course, as the saying goes, there are no absolutes in anything, perhaps with pure analysis
It is difficult to understand the whole story through reasoning, but if someone has read a lot, he can quickly find the key to the problem!
Just like now, staring at He Fei and other teammates with astonished expressions, Chen Xiaoyao was covering his face and groaning while thinking to himself. His eyes occasionally looked at the coffin opposite. Maybe he thought of something during this period, and Chen Xiaoyao suddenly spoke in a very uneasy way. He said something in a determined tone: "It feels a bit like a charm."
Well?
It was like throwing a huge stone into an originally calm lake. As soon as Chen Xiaoyao said this, everyone was startled at first, and then collectively cast questioning glances. Chen Shuihong was the first to ask impatiently: "What? Charming ? This word seems a bit right, huh? Wait, Brother Chen, what do you mean..."
"Tell me everything you know."
"Yes, yes, I also feel that this word is a bit close to our previous experiences. Come on, tell me quickly!"
After Chen Shuihong spoke, he seemed to have grasped a certain key point. Everyone, including He Fei, was curious and urged, and the result was certain...
"Hey, since everyone wants to know, let me just talk about it." Seeing that everyone was paying attention to the word "charm", next, his face was obviously red and swollen from the slap, but Chen Xiaoyao still forced himself on it amidst everyone's collective attention. With a stern expression that he would never forget to show off until his death, Taoist Chen talked eloquently and expressed his personal understanding.
First of all, it is certain that as a Maoshan Taoist priest who is proficient in metaphysics, Chen Xiaoyao has a lot of alternative knowledge that ordinary people do not have. Among them, he has heard of a mysterious magic called charm. The so-called charm is actually through magic. Influencing others, so that the victim has a favorable impression of a specific target, and finally gets stuck in it and cannot extricate himself. This technique is somewhat similar to hallucination, but strictly speaking it is different from hallucination. The reason is that hallucination often attacks the five senses of human beings. , people are tricked by creating illusions, but the charm attacks not the five senses of human beings, nor even the brain, but directly affects and affects people's intuition and subconscious mind! By releasing signals, the victim can get hints while his brain is awake, and this signal-like hint will become stronger as time goes by, until the victim is completely obsessed with a certain target. The person becomes more and more obsessed, and then the unique greedy nature of human beings will be activated unconsciously. To put it bluntly, it is possessiveness. In order to occupy the obsessed target alone, people with the same purpose will fight because of greed. As for the greedy nature that can activate or even What are the specific signals that can infinitely increase human possessiveness? There are many types, it may be sound, it may be picture, it may be...
smell!
I understand, I understand completely. After Chen Xiaoyao explained in detail what charm is, at this moment, everyone present, whether it was He Fei, Zhao Ping, Peng Hu or others, understood clearly! It turned out that what they had just been hit by was not an illusion, but a terrible evil spell called charm. Although it was considered a mental attack, its nature was completely different from that of an illusion. The actual effect was to stimulate and continuously increase human greed, and finally made people... Killing each other over the object of obsession while fully conscious! In fact, the mysterious fragrance that everyone smelled before is the source of the signal. The signal pours into the brain through the nasal cavity, and then directly affects the human subconscious. First, it makes everyone feel good about the female corpse in the coffin, and then as the signal continues to increase, it becomes more and more popular. Obsessed, and eventually fighting out of greed, a group of men who were attracted to the female corpse went crazy and fought for their lives in a completely awake state! .
No wonder, no wonder even He Fei, who is good at dealing with hallucinations, cannot crack this attack, because it is not an hallucination at all! It is conceivable that it is not even an illusion, and the brain is already awake, so how can He Fei crack it? How to break free? And there is only one ending that cannot be solved, that is, sinking deeper and deeper into greed, either you die or I die, and finally we die together while fighting each other!
As for why the charm is only effective on He Fei and other male members? On the contrary, it has no impact on the women present? During the narration, Chen Xiaoyao also explained that this charm is aimed at men! As the saying goes, opposites attract and same-sex repels. The Queen's corpse is so beautiful that it has a huge impact on any man with normal physiological functions. That's why He Fei and the others are attracted and even obsessed. In the same way, since the opposite sex is Under the principle of mutual attraction, there is no doubt that men will fall into the trap collectively, so under the logic of same-sex repulsion, it is natural and understandable that women will not fall into the trap.
"I, ***...it turns out that this is what it is. It's such a vicious sorcery. This charm is so fucking terrifying. It can actually affect the subconscious through smell! Fortunately, we broke free in time, otherwise we would really be in doom. If we had known this, we should have bought some gas masks."
As expected, after understanding the specific principles of the sorcery, everyone, including He Fei, fully understood. At the same time, a fear called fear swept through the body involuntarily. At this moment, Peng Hu kept his face pale, and While mumbling with trembling lips, he also regretted why he didn't wear a gas mask. However, as he was talking, he seemed to suddenly think of other questions. Peng Hu changed the subject, and then asked with a confused face and curiosity: "Eh? ? No, since the charm magic can’t break free, how do we break free? Also, that strange fragrance...seems to have disappeared!?"
The problem Peng Hu discovered is also a problem that others are currently concerned about. As Peng Hu just mentioned, since they broke away from the charm, the terrible smell that filled the hall suddenly disappeared, although everyone also knew about the smell. Disappearance is the key factor for them to return to normal, but the question is how does the smell disappear? .
In response to this question, everyone quickly found the answer this time, and Chen Xiaoyao knew it best. Sure enough, as soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, Chen Xiaoyao raised his head and scanned the air in the hall, and was the first to see the gray powder that was still floating and spreading. , Not only that, as soon as Chen Xiaoyao found the powder, he continued to turn around and looked directly at Cheng Ying, who had just been helped by Tang Meng.
Looking at Cheng Ying who was bleeding from the corner of her mouth, Chen Xiaoyao grinned and immediately gave Cheng Ying a thumbs up and said: "Hey! As expected of Ah Ying, you know me well. It turns out that you already knew that I have a pack of special incense ash. !」
Yes, because his brain was awake during the attack, and because he knew his own things, Chen Xiaoyao knew what Cheng Ying did during that period, and what the other party did during that period, so when he saw the ball still spreading in the air with his own eyes, After removing the incense ashes, Chen Xiaoyao instantly understood the cause and effect. It was clear that it was Cheng Ying who saved everyone, or that sentence. As a Maoshan Taoist priest, Chen Xiaoyao has always had the habit of carrying a large number of instruments with him, and the so-called instruments undoubtedly refer to Taoist sects. Magic weapon, after all, many Maoshan spells require the help of magic weapons to cast, and one of them includes a bag of special incense ash that has a sobering effect. Although the incense ash is just a small object among Chen Xiaoyao's many magic weapons, once it is spilled on someone Incense ash can refresh the mind of the person who is sprinkled, and it also has the additional effect of eliminating other odors. Chen Xiaoyao also often uses incense ash. Because of its frequent use, many people have seen it with their own eyes, and Cheng Ying has witnessed it many times. In fact, it was precisely because she knew that Chen Xiaoyao had been carrying a bag of incense ash with her for a long time that she could refresh her mind. Therefore, after discovering that the men were going crazy and fighting each other for no reason and confirming that the mysterious smell was the source of the disaster, Cheng Ying immediately thought of the bag of incense ash. Without saying a word, he rushed towards Chen Xiaoyao, just to get the incense ash and save everyone.
Of course, although Cheng Ying was not sure whether the incense ash was effective at the beginning, in order to avoid tragedy in a situation where death could occur at any time, Cheng Ying could not care so much at that time and could only do her best to obey fate.
Perhaps in Cheng Ying's eyes at that time, she was just trying her best, but the result made her and even all the girls overjoyed. As the whole bag of incense ash was sprinkled into the air, the ash successfully dispelled the horrible smell! Without the influence of the strange fragrance, the people who were fighting each other naturally returned to normal.
"Cheng Ying, what's wrong with you!?"
At the same time, when Chen Xiaoyao gave a thumbs up to praise Cheng Ying, others also saw the slowly spreading incense ash powder. Regardless of others, He Fei looked panicked the moment he discovered that Cheng Ying was injured. She rushed towards Cheng Ying with a quick stride. Fortunately, Cheng Ying was in good health. When asked about He Fei's injuries, although it was indeed serious and two teeth were knocked out by Chen Xiaoyao, Cheng Ying still held on. He shook his head and said it was nothing serious, but took turns glaring at Peng Hu and Chen Xiaoyao with almost murderous eyes! Sure enough, because his brain had been awake when he was hit, he saw Cheng Ying staring at him with a bad look. Opposite him, Peng Hu was frightened and his body trembled on the spot. The flesh on his face twitched frequently. Chen Xiaoyao, who also knew that he had critically attacked Cheng Ying before, I was instantly frightened and my bladder contracted, almost causing me to urinate! Because he was too familiar with the character of the female killer who was determined to take revenge, Peng Hu hurriedly defended himself in a trembling voice: "I, I
Although I was sober at the time, I couldn't control myself. It's not my fault! ".
"Yes, yes, Brother Peng is right! We are not to blame for this matter. Like Brother Peng, I couldn't control myself at the time. If I am to blame, I blame the smell. This matter has nothing to do with me! Even if you want Revenge, well, we have to wait until we get back, now is not the time to take action!"
In order to avoid being skinned and cramped by Cheng Ying on the spot, just as Peng Hu had to defend himself, Chen Xiaoyao, who beat Cheng Ying even more severely, followed closely and defended frantically, trying to delay the execution time as much as possible. The whole person was frightened. Fortunately, Cheng Ying has always been the kind of person who understands the general situation. In addition, the current situation is indeed urgent, so she just glared at the two of them, as if she wanted to wait until the mission was over to settle the score.
Getting back to the topic, with Cheng Ying's life-saving rescue and the interference of the special pack of incense ash, although the life-threatening fragrance was dispersed, everyone who recovered also understood the cause and effect. Although this is the case, who can guarantee that the fragrance is real? disappear? Once the terrifying fragrance appears again, they will be completely doomed without the second pack of special incense ash. Not only that, after experiencing the charm incident just now, at this moment, including He Fei, no matter who it is, everyone is afraid and sighs. Unexpectedly, this Wu Zetian was obviously dead, but the body alone almost wiped them out! How terrible is this woman? No wonder Wu Zetian is often called the Demon Queen. It turns out that she is really an extremely charming witch!
"He Fei, the queen's corpse is too terrifying. We can't stay here any longer!" Thinking of this, Tang Meng, who had seen the terrifying corpse, immediately reminded He Fei. Tang Meng, who had just finished speaking, was also filled with fear. Everyone nodded in agreement. Maybe they were completely afraid of this beautiful corpse that had not decayed for thousands of years. In their fear, their faces remained pale. Abdullah said bluntly: "As a foreigner, I admit that I am Although you, the Queen of China, don’t know much about her, I have seen her power with my own eyes. She was already a corpse, but unexpectedly, the corpse could emit a strange fragrance and release evil spells. Just now, we almost killed each other and died together. I don’t want to stay here. Well, let’s complete the mission quickly. As long as we get the soul-fixing beads, we can leave this ghost place immediately!”
"Yes, look for the soul-fixing beads, hurry up and find the soul-fixing beads!"
As mentioned above, since everyone was completely afraid of the queen's body, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, for a while, no matter whether they were companions Peng Hu or the Arab team who had the same goal, everyone was nervous and urging, with the purpose of finding the Soul-fixing Pearl as soon as possible. , in fact, are everyone’s thoughts actually He Fei’s thoughts? This queen's corpse was too evil. If she continued to stay here, something might happen again. Sure enough, seeing everyone mentioning the soul-fixing beads again, He Fei didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly led everyone towards the coffin.
It is worth mentioning that, knowing that the Queen's corpse was extremely evil, even if the smell of death had dissipated, the Wannian Ship was cautious after all. With this cautious attitude, when everyone gathered in front of the coffin again, this Except for Cheng Ying and a few other girls, no male dared to look at the soul-stirring and beautiful face of the corpse. At this moment, everyone, including He Fei, was looking at the female corpse in the coffin, turning their pupils and looking back and forth, trying to find something similar. Beads, as far as the eye can see, the coffin is very luxurious. In addition to a beautifully crafted bright yellow quilt placed under the body, there are also many extremely precious items placed in the corner. Next to the shoulders of the female corpse are two Western Region weapons. A style gemstone dagger, flanked by two pieces of exquisitely carved jade Ruyi, and even at the feet are displayed several lotus flowers made of pure gold. The lotus flower represents the afterlife and symbolizes that the tomb owner will ascend to the paradise after death. In fact, Whether it's a gemstone dagger, jade Ruyi or those golden lotuses at your feet, these things are all priceless treasures. If you take out any of them, they can be sold for astonishing prices. The only person who can enjoy these is probably the emperor who is the ninth emperor. , and Wu Zetian is worthy of being the number one demon queen in history who has brought disaster to the country, and there are so many priceless treasures in her coffin.
Unfortunately, although there were many priceless treasures as burial objects in the coffin that looked like a dragon bed, everyone searched for a long time but did not see anything similar to beads! .
After confirming that nothing was found after searching for a long time, everyone's faces gradually began to look ugly. At the same time, an ominous premonition still arose.
First of all, we must understand that the reason why the executioners are frantically looking for Wu Zetian's main tomb room is because they can't find the soul-fixing beads elsewhere, and it's also because they can't find them elsewhere.
That’s why He Fei took the lead in bringing up the main tomb chamber, thinking that the soul bead was most likely to be in the tomb where Wu Zetian was, or even in the coffin containing the body. Now that the tomb chamber has been found, the coffin has been found, and now the coffin is being opened. I searched carefully, but unexpectedly, after searching for a long time, I found nothing? Not to mention the soul-fixing beads in the coffin, there is not even a slightly round bead! ?
"This..." Seeing this, in front of the coffin, like everyone else, Peng Hu's face started to look ugly. He was about to say something, but Lao Hu, who was experienced in tomb robbing, spoke first. Before Peng Hu could speak, Lao Hu gave a reminder. Said: "Look at the mouth of the corpse!"
Not to mention, when Lao Hu mentioned this, everyone understood instantly. It is said that in ancient times, princes and nobles, in addition to carrying treasures in their mausoleums, often also had something in their mouths after death. I won’t talk about the specific explanation for the time being, but this custom is indeed Existence, in fact, as early as the pre-Qin Dynasty, there has been a custom of burying the dead with things in their mouths, and the things they contained were mostly round objects. Rich people or nobles often put precious jewelry such as luminous pearls in their mouths, and even ordinary people also Most people would put a copper coin in their mouths. Since China has had this custom since the pre-Qin Dynasty, and it is the same for both nobles and common people, then how could Wu Zetian, as the most respected person in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, be an exception?
