The handsome man in the entertainment industry

A large cemetery.

This cemetery consists of four outer tombs forming an outer formation, which transforms the grievances into energy and jointly suppresses the "things" in the tombs where the eyes of the formation are located.And these five villages are the descendants of the mausoleum guards who were in charge of guarding the tomb.

Time has changed, and after more than 600 years, the tombs guarded by the four villages of Ruan, Zhai, Lou, and Diao have been destroyed one after another, and the tomb bureau has been broken. Digging it up made the "things" inside come back to the sky, which led to the catastrophe of destroying the village, and even brought disaster to the photography team who happened to come to the village.

"I think you've guessed it."

Xiao Xiao put down her pen and crossed her feet, "The directors in your photography team have traveled all the way to Xijia Village, a remote mountain village where birds don't lay eggs, definitely not just for the simple purpose of 'location'."

As he spoke, he took out a leather file bag from the magazine shelf, poured out the papers in it, and spread it out on the coffee table.

Ruan Mudeng took a closer look, and found that there were many photos of antiques, such as large figurines of cups and bowls, and small pieces of jewelry and jade carvings. In its original color, it looked gray, dirty, and rusty. There was a small piece of paper next to each item, with some codes, dates, and notes written on it, showing that they were all stolen goods that were recently confiscated at the antique market in City A.

"Zheng Jinxiu and his two assistant directors are involved in some money laundering and smuggling activities in addition to filming. Recently, they took over a big business, which is to go to Xijia Village to collect a batch of antiques."

Xiao Xiao paused after speaking, "As for where the things come from..."

Ruan Mudeng took his words, "Of course it was dug out from the ancient tomb in the back mountain, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"The village head of Xijia Village led people to dig up the ancient tomb that was supposed to be guarded by their village for generations. While stealing cultural relics, they also brought out the things in the tomb."

He pulled out a photo from the pile of photos and put it in front of Ruan Mudeng.

The young man saw that it was the small jar the size of a fist that he was forced to take out from the hand of the charred corpse when he saw the white fox-like Xiao Xiao.

"This jar is sealed with the female worm of the eight-legged monster worm you encountered. Although we are not very sure now, it should be a Gu worm bred by some kind of unique secret method. It feeds on human brains and can Eggs are laid in the human cranial cavity. After hatching, the larvae crawl down the spine and develop into adults in the abdominal cavity. After breaking out of the body, they attack living people and repeat this reproductive process. Moreover, when the adult worms inhabit the brain of the deceased, there is still control The ability of human corpses can manipulate living corpses to attack people."

"I see……"

Ruan Mudeng thought about it, and felt that Xiao Xiao's explanation fit the situation he encountered quite well.

"So, the whole village of Xijia Village committed suicide because of Gu insects? Also, why can that kind of black cloth resist Gu insects?"

"In fact, the cemetery in Xijia Village has more than one floor. Except for the surrounding tombs, it is in a huge and quite powerful maze. Once the tomb is damaged to a certain extent—such as touching The jar for placing Gu worms or something, the eyes of this maze will be activated passively, causing the whole village to fall into a state of 'ghost hitting the wall', people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. In fact , the day your crew met me, I was looking for the way into the village, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would still be circling on the winding mountain road now."

"Then, why can our crew go in?" Ruan Mudeng asked.

"Later when our people were cleaning up the mess, they found a jade ring and a pair of gold earrings in Zheng Jinxiu's luggage. They speculated that they should be artifacts taken from that tomb. It is estimated that these funerary objects would be of great help to the people after they were activated. As far as Mizhen is concerned, they are all 'things that cannot be taken out', so they let the crew into the village, but they won't let you leave."

Xiao Xiao thought for a while, and then said: "As for the villagers, they must have found that they could no longer leave the village, and they were attacked by those eight-legged insects. They had no choice but to commit suicide in the whole village... Now people They are all dead, so who can say for sure..."

As he spoke, he dug out one of the photos on the table.

"Didn't you just ask me why those black cloths can drive away Gu worms?"

As Xiao Xiao passed the photo to the young man, Ruan Mudeng took the photo and found that it was a black cloth placed on a light-transmitting table to zoom in on the local details.

In the photos, he can clearly see that the weaving method of the fabric is far more complicated than he imagined, and the stitches weave out rune-like patterns with certain special rules.In the pure black hemp thread, there are also some light-colored silk threads that are close to dark gray. If you don't zoom in, it's really hard to find.

"This kind of black cloth woven with special stitches should be the unique inheritance of those five villages. It is probably to protect the tomb guards and prevent them from easily becoming breeding containers for Gu insects."

Ruan Mudeng nodded, thinking that their village did have the custom of using this kind of cloth to wrap "dirty" things.

"Actually, when I went to Xijia Village that night, I originally planned to go to the ancient tomb to see what happened. If I can solve it, I will solve it."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiao laughed at herself, "However, this time I really took it easy."

When he said this, the man raised his eyes and quietly looked at the expression of the young man sitting opposite him. From this angle, the peach blossom eyes looked particularly narrow and long.Ruan Mudeng met his amber pupils abruptly, and suddenly felt hot on his face for no reason.

"Um……"

He responded softly, indicating that he was listening to him, but the descriptions of foxes and bewitching people in the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties had already appeared in his mind for no reason.

"The labyrinth in the tomb is called the 'Heavy Mountain Array'."

Xiao Xiao said: "The arrangement method of this formation is very complicated, and changing the details in the formation will produce thousands of changes. People in the formation will be affected by their sense of distance and time. They clearly feel that they are like" A thousand boats have crossed ten thousand mountains', they have traveled far, far, but they are just going around in circles in a certain range. If you don't know how to pass through this formation, you will be trapped in it, and you don't know how to consume it. How long will it last. This formation not only makes it impossible to enter and leave the village, but also the closer you get to the tomb, the easier it is to completely lose your sense of direction and time."

"So, you are trapped by this formation?" Ruan Mudeng asked.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao didn't go around in circles, and admitted frankly: "I was trapped in the forest for a long time, and then I broke the heavy mountain formation, and then I came out from the back mountain... Then I chased Zheng Jinxiu, who was possessed by the Gu king, to the Outside the robbery cave, I found that the things inside had been released, so I could only take some more drastic measures to solve the problem in one go."

As he spoke, he tilted his head, showing a little helpless expression, "You should have seen that huge red bird, right?"

Seeing Ruan Mudeng nodding, Xiao Xiao continued.

"That is my spiritual obedience. The divine bird Hongluan, which is transformed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is usually transformed into a divine soul and stored in my body. It is very powerful, but every time it is summoned, it is very choking. For me now, it consumes a lot of energy. It's a bit too big, that's why you see me in that...well, that fluffy embarrassment..."

Ruan Mudeng glanced suspiciously at the man who was explaining solemnly, thinking that no matter how exhausted a normal person is, he shouldn't become a fox, right?

"Later, the heavy mountain formation was broken, and rescue from outside was able to come in, but the price for this incident is still too high."

Xiao Xiao let out a long sigh, "So many people shouldn't have died..."

Hearing the other party mention the dead companions in the crew, the expression on Ruan Mudeng's face suddenly became serious.

He thought for a while and asked, "What are your identities? What happened to Chao Mahan and the others? And the death of the crew and the villagers, how do you plan to explain it?"

"Our identities..."

Xiao Xiao smiled and lowered her voice, "It's... a professional who specializes in solving some unspeakable incidents..."

As he spoke, he didn't explain much, and didn't let Ruan Mudeng ask any more questions, and changed the subject directly: "The three of Chao Chao, Ma Han, and Shen Rui are not in danger of life, and have already been sent to the hospital. By the way, I also called them. A small 'patch' made them forget what happened to them in Xijia Village."

"Ah?" Ruan Mudeng opened his eyes slightly.

He knew that Wang Chao and Ma Han were fine, but it turned out that even Shen Rui, the second female lead in the crew, survived, which was beyond his expectation.

At that time, he saw Zang Jianing and Shen Rui lying on the edge of the village woods, because he was in a hurry to chase after the red luan released by Xiao Xiao, he only checked Zang Jianing's body roughly, and didn't notice that Shen Rui was still alive—but there was one more It's always good news that someone is okay, and he was really happy for the girl.

"We must not let the public know the truth about this incident. We can only regard it as a car accident on the way to the location because of the steep mountain road. Three cars collided in a row and caught fire, causing more than 30 crew members to die."

As he spoke, he clicked on the map that was put aside, "As for Xijia Village, we collected the corpses for the villagers, and then planned to restore the heavy mountain formation near the ancient tomb, so that outsiders can never find this village again..."

"But!"

Ruan Mudeng couldn't help but said: "There are still people in the village who go to work and live in other places, and they will go back to Xijia Village one day. Is it really okay for you to deal with it like this?"

"There is no way
