The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Hearing Xiao Lou's words, everyone's expressions became serious involuntarily.

In the secret room on the other side, everyone stopped resisting according to Xiao Lou's instructions, and followed them back to the stone room together, saw Chu Huaying standing in front of the sarcophagus, and heard Xiao Lou's analysis.

Ye Qi quickly understood: "So, everything just now was just an illusion? So, our various card skills have no effect on her, and stabbing her with a dagger can't hurt her?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "This secret room has never changed. The sarcophagus remains in place, no fresh blood seeps out of it, and nothing crawls out. It's just that we were affected by hallucinations as soon as we entered the secret room, so I don’t know that I’m in an illusion. Once I can’t find this out in time, fighting desperately with the resentful spirits will only consume energy and be futile.”

Shao Qingge rubbed his temples, and said: "Xiao Lou, what you mean is that when we enter the secret room, everything we see is already an illusion, and we must be 'choked to death' by this resentful spirit to return to reality. And Under normal circumstances, when we see a wraith, we will avoid and resist, and the more we resist, the more vicious the wraith will be?"

"That's right, only by not resisting and being 'killed' by her resentment can one escape from the illusion of resentment created by her." Xiao Lou paused, then continued, "These two women were buried alive in the ancient tomb. Their resentment before they died, and the condensed resentment, may give us some important clues."

Ye Qi's voice came from next to his ear: "Clues? What kind of clues is the illusion just now giving us?"

Xiao Lou asked: "Is the woman you saw wearing a red wedding dress, embroidered shoes on her feet, and some jewelry on her head?"

Ye Qi nodded: "That's right, a bride with disheveled hair, blood and tears in her eyes, and a face as white as a ghost... By the way, she is indeed a ghost, right? Is there any difference between a wraith and a ghost?"

Xiao Lou couldn't tell the difference between a wraith and a ghost for a while, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with understanding her as a ghost?

Ye Qi's answer told him that the wraiths in the secret rooms on both sides were the same bride.

Xiao Lou looked at the coffin in front of him thoughtfully, and said, "Since the two women are wearing wedding dresses, it is very likely that they were directly put into the sarcophagus and buried alive on their wedding night."

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

The wedding night should be the happiest moment in many people's lives.

Women in ancient times were raised by their parents with painstaking efforts, and married at a young age. When they got married, they must have fantasized about what their husband would be like. A tall and heroic man would treat them well. On their wedding night, they might still shy, nervous...

As a result, she was married in a wedding gown, and instead of being sent to the bridal chamber, she was put into a sarcophagus?

The shock, fear and anger of the two women can be imagined.

It's no wonder that the resentment they felt after being buried alive persisted for a long time, and even those who entered the stone chamber were brought into illusion.

When Qu Wanyue heard this, she said softly, "It's too cruel to bury the bride alive... Is this what Professor Xiao said, a priestly ceremony?"

"Well. I speculated that this ancient tomb was a living burial tomb, and it seems that I guessed correctly. The owner of the ancient tomb probably wanted to perform a living sacrifice ceremony, so he put the bride in a coffin and buried him alive. He looked at the sarcophagus in front of him and said, "So far, we have only found two sarcophagi. Maybe there will be more sarcophagi in the ancient tomb."

After all, it is a living sacrifice. It seems unreasonable to sacrifice only two tombs with such a large tomb?

Xiao Lou leaned over to carefully observe the spells on the sarcophagus, and always felt a little familiar.

Suddenly, he thought of the scene of the woman in red grabbing his neck forcefully just now——

On the woman's head, in addition to the hairpin, there is also a crooked comb, which seems to be engraved with the same symbol?

Xiao Lou turned around and walked out of the stone room, stopping in front of the mural.

The mural is a grand wedding scene. He found that there are similar symbols on many utensils and dowry boxes at the wedding banquet. However, it is more difficult to notice these subtle clues in the huge mural.

Xiao Loudao: "This symbol appears on the sarcophagus, comb, and dowry items. It is likely to be the symbol of the woman's family."

Old Mo leaned over to take a closer look, and said, "This symbol looks a bit like... a grimace totem?"

Yu Hanjiang also came over and stood beside Xiao Lou, looked at the symbols that appeared in the murals, and said in a low voice: "I heard that in ancient times, many villages and tribes would have their own gods they believed in. This totem is indeed like a female mother." clan symbol."

Xiao Lou pressed the voice headset and asked the teammates on the opposite side: "Look carefully at the spells on the sarcophagus, and then go to the murals outside. Can you find the same pattern?"

Soon, Ye Qi's excited voice came from next to his ear: "I found it! The dowry boxes at the wedding banquet are all engraved with the same pattern as the sarcophagus. It's a bit like... a totem of a wolf?"

Xiao Loudao: "What we found here looks more like a grimace."

Hearing this, Gui Yuanzhang analyzed in a low voice: "The women buried alive in the two stone chambers obviously came from different tribes. Could it be that the owner of the tomb wanted to marry women from different tribes and put them in a coffin and bury them alive on the wedding day to achieve an agreement? A priestly ritual?"

The more everyone listened, the more they felt chills down their spines.

From the moment they entered this living burial tomb, everyone felt a strange and eerie feeling.

It turned out that too many living people were buried?Or are they all brides buried on the wedding day?

Chu Huaying calmly said: "So, if we want to leave the ancient tomb, we need to find all the brides who were buried alive, and then draw a floor plan based on the location of the tomb where they were buried, and guess the exit of the ancient tomb?"

Xiao Lou suddenly remembered the priest ceremony in Liuxi Village.

At that time, the seven gems were placed in different corners of the village and placed in the shape of a "human body" to priest the girl who was brutally murdered that year.How many brides were buried alive in this ancient tomb?Where were they buried?What would it mean to be a priest?

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "We have to find the other brides slowly, let's open the sarcophagus first."

Everyone: "..."

Open the sarcophagus, shall we?Why did Xiao Lou speak so calmly when he said this?It's like everyone's dull rice.

Yu Hanjiang understood Xiao Lou's thoughts: "You want to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Ye Qi thought of the woman who was bleeding and tearing just now, and goosebumps came down her back: "Professor Xiao, are you sure you want to open the coffin? Maybe a zongzi really popped out this time?"

Xiao Loudao: "Guardians also have principles. The same trick is rarely used twice in a row. We have already scared us with the Wraith Spirit just now. There should not be a Zongzi that is easier to deal with than the Wraith Spirit."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the sarcophagus.

The lid of the sarcophagus flew up just now, and the bride in red climbed out of it, all of that was an illusion.

At this time, the sarcophagus was still quietly placed in place, and Xiao Lou signaled Yu Hanjiang to open the lid.Yu Hanjiang's method was simple and rude, and he went straight to use a saber to chop horizontally, and the whole cover was lifted off.

Sure enough, there was a... a skeleton in a red wedding dress lying inside the coffin.

The age is too long, the corpse has long since decayed, leaving only bones, wearing a bright red wedding dress, this picture makes the bottom of my heart creepy.

After being put into the sarcophagus, she struggled crazily, causing black and red blood stains all over the inside of the sarcophagus. Her two hands clasping the sarcophagus were all broken, and all the bones in her hands were broken.

But her wooden comb lay quietly in the coffin.

Xiao Loudao: "Judging from the degree of bone development, this girl should be under 18 years old."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing: "This group of beasts actually put such a young girl into a coffin and buried it alive?!"

Xiao Lou picked up the wooden comb with the grimace totem engraved on it: "Hold it first, maybe it will be used in the next mechanism."

Since Xiao Lou and the others opened the coffin for autopsy, Gui Yuanzhang also opened the sarcophagus.

Inside was also a skeleton wearing a wedding dress, and they found a bracelet in the coffin.

Ye Qi remembered: "When that female ghost strangled Sister Huaying's neck just now, she was wearing this bracelet."

He carefully picked up the bracelet.

Xiao Lou said: "Everyone continue to go deep into the maze. In this ancient tomb, there must be more than two people buried alive."
