Touch a corpse to fall in love

Chapter 55 The Shadow in the Water

Cheng Xiao opened his mouth, and before he could express his question, he heard Ouyang Fulin continue: "Didn't you always want to know what this place is?" Raising his eyebrows, Ouyang Fulin said in a deep voice, "This place It can be said to be a shadow-like existence, but at the same time it is real. Sometimes unreal, sometimes real, so if we want to get out of here, we must seize the opportunity to find the real part from the endless phantom."

"I... seem to be even more confused." Cheng Xiao grinned in embarrassment, he was really confused.

"Do you still remember what happened before we fell in?" Ouyang Fulin stared at Cheng Xiao and explained patiently, "Like a big tree by the water, the part on the shore is the real part, and the part under the water is the shadow. It exists like a phantom. But when a big tree grows half on the shore and half stretches out in the water, then it is half true and half false."

Cheng Xiao said: "Then are we in the reflection of the big tree?"

"No." Ouyang Fulin shook his head, "We are in the water. That big tree is like the current ruins, and the roots of the big tree extending into the water are the underground city we discovered. So find this big tree and this root of a big tree, we have a chance to return to the shore."

Cheng Xiao seemed to understand a little bit: "You mean... find the most real part of the big tree in the water?"

Ouyang Fulin nodded: "That's what it means."

Cheng Xiao asked again: "If this is the case, how did we get into the shadow?"

Ouyang Fulin looked at Cheng Xiao: "This requires a lot of opportunities. Before we fell here, we were in your rented house. When I went there for the first time, I thought the layout of the small western-style building was very strange. It gives people the feeling... I was not sure at first, but after I received the news that you were going to the museum, I immediately understood. Knowing that my guess should be right, I went back to the family to check the information , I went to the ancient tomb in Suzhou to verify it. At this time, I found that not only the Xiaoyanglou, but that area, and even the entire city A, is a large magic circle, and the Xiaoyanglou is a large magic circle. The eyes of the formation. It is the key part that connects reality and phantom. But I still haven’t figured out how we touched this magic circle.” Noticing the change in Cheng Xiao’s expression, Ouyang Fulin paused, He said slowly, "However, I think this should have something to do with your sudden return to Xiaoyanglou, because before you went back, the magic circle didn't show any signs of activation."

"Me?" Cheng Xiao pointed to his nose, and his brows could not be further wrinkled, "I lived there for two weeks before, and nothing happened all the time."

Ouyang Fulin shook his head: "Maybe it's not the right time, maybe it's..." Turning his head to look at A Shu, Ouyang Fulin's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's related to him."

"A Shu?" Cheng Xiao also put his gaze on A Shu, "If this matter had already started..." Cheng Xiao tensed up, and his heart jumped wildly.

The Xiaoyanglou is a trap, and he happened to live there; the zombie Ashu was awakened by a very coincidental before; those things in the birch forest seemed to have nothing to do with him, but in fact they were almost everywhere.Wang Yan used him to break the seal on the first basement floor. The female ghost Sun Xiaoyu kept saying that these bureaus were set up for him alone; It's just a coincidence, let alone an end.

So, what made Sun Xiaoyu and Wang Yan agree that they were the key to the whole thing?Cheng Xiao thought to himself that someone had already been planning this matter from the moment he was not born, and it was really hard for him to figure out, what exactly was the other party planning for such a deliberate and time-consuming plan?Why did Sun Xiaoyu's husband die back then?Is it because the other party finds out that he has found the wrong person?Or is it simply killing people after they have used them all?So, will Sun Xiaoyu's husband's ending be her own ending?

The more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and the more he thought about it, Cheng Xiao kept analyzing what happened these days in his mind, absorbing useful information bit by bit.

If Cheng Xiao always felt that those words were not credible before, then combined with everything in front of him and what he experienced in the past few days, he has no choice but to accept it now.

This bureau was specially planned for him by others. As for its implementation, it can be traced back not only 26 years ago, but even 2000 years ago.

As for why others chose him to be taken advantage of, Cheng Xiao really didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

The sky was still dark, but dawn had come.

Cheng Xiao packed up his things silently, and took out the bag of ham in his backpack: "Everyone, eat a little. Since entering here, I guess everyone has not replenished their physical strength."

Ouyang Fulin took the ham, tore open the package and divided each of them into two sticks: "I will go to the nearby woods to find some food later. The underground city here is too dangerous. If we can come back alive, we must be physically strong." We're running out of energy and energy, and now it's best to get everything ready."

Cheng Xiao bit the ham and made a suggestion: "Didn't you say that the mud in the swamp can deal with those konjacs? Why don't we bring the mud and we'll get two konjacs back. Such big konjacs will definitely last for a long time."

Ouyang Cheng didn't give Cheng Xiao a good look: "Go get it if you can eat it."

Cheng Xiao thought of the carrion seen in the illusion, his throat tightened, and the ham in his mouth was a little disgusting: "Hehe, sorry, I forgot..." After a pause, Cheng Xiao said again, "But... here is really Is there any human beings who can feed those konjacs?" No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there will be a second batch of people here.

"Not necessarily." Ouyang Fulin explained, "Xiaoyanglou's magic circle is very old, like that heaven-defying magic circle, from the beginning to the end, it can be activated up to three times. I don't know how many times we are now." Ouyang Fulin While explaining, he turned his head and looked at Cheng Xiao's backpack, "The sun is coming out, take out the contents to dry." It is not wise to take a risk with a wet and heavy backpack.

Cheng Xiao said "oh", and while going to take out the things in the backpack, he said: "Mr. Ouyang, didn't you say yesterday that General Meng Tian might have been here 2000 years ago? Could he have come in from that magic circle?" of?"

Ouyang Fulin nodded: "It's possible. If that's the case, we are at least the second batch of teams coming in from there."

After thinking for a while, Cheng Xiao looked back at Ouyang Fulin: "Is it possible for us to activate the magic circle again to go back? In that case...is it more than three times?"

"No." Ouyang Fulin stared at Cheng Xiao, "Because this magic circle is very large and consumes a lot; every time it is activated, it needs to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to close the magic circle, so we still have a little time."

Cheng Xiao stood up all of a sudden, and the things in his hands were scattered on the ground: "You mean, we have to go back before the magic circle is closed? What if it doesn't work? What will happen?"

"Of course..." Ouyang Fulin pursed his lower lip very seriously, "Stay here forever, waiting for it to be opened next time." After saying this, Ouyang Fulin added, "The most important thing is that we It can’t live until its next opening; moreover, we can’t be sure, how many times it still has chances to open, if it’s the last time…”

"What do you think?" Cheng Xiao was a little nervous.

"It will be invalid forever." Ouyang Cheng interjected, speaking on behalf of Ouyang Fulin, "If we are the third batch of people entering here, then the magic circle will be completely invalid after it is closed, and it is very likely that all the spirits stored in it will be collected. Force to destroy the formation."

Cheng Xiao's mind went blank, and he became nervous subconsciously: "Why are you not in a hurry for such a serious consequence?"

Ouyang Cheng looked at Cheng Xiao with an idiotic look: "How much do you know about profound arts? How much do you know about magic circles? How much do you know about this world? If you can go back in a hurry, I want to be in a hurry too." Ouyang Cheng said to Ouyang Fulin was already dissatisfied with following Cheng Xiao into the magic circle recklessly, but now seeing Cheng Xiao's ignorant and ignorant look, his face became more icy, "This ancient magic circle is listed in the classics of our Ouyang family. It has appeared before, and it is a magic circle that can only be completed by combining celestial phenomena and earth veins with the aid of high-spirited media. The three conditions are indispensable. Therefore, the method of opening it is also very complicated, and the method of returning requires all kinds of calculations. If all these If all can be done, we still need to break the protective circle of the magic circle in a very short time, and seize the fleeting opportunity to enter the gate of the magic circle." Seeing that Cheng Xiao still didn't quite understand, Ouyang Cheng said coldly, "Such a complicated ancient magic circle is suddenly opened, Cheng Xiao, don't you have anything to say?"

Cheng Xiao looked surprised: "I don't understand these things."

Ouyang Cheng couldn't hold back his paralyzed face: "You are so stupid, how could those people choose you?" If possible, Ouyang Cheng would also like to roll his eyes and show Cheng Xiao.

Ouyang Fulin said slowly: "Cheng Xiao, think about it, did any strange things happen before entering the small foreign building? Or have you seen any strange people? As far as I know, the opening of this magic circle requires a special medium. And if nothing else happens, that medium should be on your body."

There was a "buzz" in Cheng Xiao's mind, and it took a long time before he understood what Ouyang Cheng and Ouyang Fulin meant.

The activation of this magic circle was not a coincidence, but someone specifically wanted to deal with him, or sent him to this place on purpose.

"I don't have anything special on me." Cheng Xiao thought for a while, and made sure that he didn't have any special magic circle medium on him.

"Think about it carefully." Ouyang Fulin reminded Cheng Xiao, "The key to our going back should be on the two of you."

Cheng Xiao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "What about strange people and strange things..." Cheng Xiao frowned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, "When I was in Haotian Hotel... there was an accident " Cheng Xiao immediately told what happened in the elevator, Ouyang Fulin only then knew the reason why Cheng Xiao's soul was incomplete.

Just that matter, will it really have something to do with the magic circle of Xiaoyanglou?Cheng Xiao is not sure.

Ouyang Cheng then interjected: "If it wasn't for Fu Lin's recklessness to follow in, maybe we can still think of a way outside. Now that we are caught in the situation, even if we know that guy is doing the tricks, we have nothing to do. In that case, we can go back The difficulty has increased a lot.”

Cheng Xiao turned his head to look at Ouyang Fulin, seeing that he was expressionless and didn't intend to explain, so he could only say awkwardly: "Sorry... I didn't think so much." She didn't expect that they would follow in, let alone Ouyang Fulin actually had such thoughts for him.

"You didn't expect it. There are so many things that you didn't expect." Ouyang Cheng couldn't tell what his mood was, and his tone was a little weird, "Cheng Xiao, if you can go out this time, I advise you to be smarter. , since a party has found you, your life will never be peaceful again. So you should try to become stronger now, take good care of yourself, and try not to drag the people around you down."
