Ancient Art of Sealing Ghosts

It took a whole day to collect all the information. We closed the door of the old house, greeted Lao Hao, and went back to the room on the second floor to study one by one.

Four people huddled in my room, unfolded all the notebooks, old newspapers and some balls of scribbled paper, and spread them on the bed I made with the quilt.

The uncle held a pen and sketched on the rotten paper, and asked a few questions from time to time. Dao Feng and Sister Xuan nodded or asked questions. Everyone's attention was attracted by these materials. trail.

While they were not paying attention, I looked down at the pattern on my left hand.

As I expected, the pattern of the vertical ghost seal was indeed affected by the stone, and it extended from the fingers to the palm of the hand in just a few minutes. My left hand can no longer be seen now. The black pattern is twisted and tangled on the palm of the hand, eye-catching And ostentatiously, he has the temperament of a third-rate artist.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the real reason why Xiao Hai appeared without calling.

That stone is really weird, it can have a considerable impact on evil spirits, and maybe the human body too, because ever since I took this stone, I always have a weird feeling in my heart, that feeling is inexplicable, like Invisibly distorted something that I didn't realize.

But in the end what is distorted, I don't have the heart to think about it now.

The stone was hidden in an old jewelry box, and Wen Wen was the only woman in the original group of five, which means that there is an 80.00% possibility that the stone belongs to Wen Wen.So why does Wen Wen have such a stone, and where did it come from?This stone has had such an effect on me, what has it changed on her?

Only Wen Wen owns this kind of stone, or does the five-member group have one?How does this relate to the immortality of the five of them?

When Wen Wen got this stone, was she the same as me now, with a lot of cognitions in her mind that she couldn't understand...

The uncle said that Wen Wen had intentionally prevented the group of five from continuing to search for clues to find out the truth. Whether this so-called truth had anything to do with her.If we connect this strange stone, Wen Wen's deliberate obstruction, and the traitor that the group of five is eager to find out, with the reason for the tragic death of the three families, what will be the result...

Obviously, I've started to suspect this woman named Wen Wen now.

"Chu Yang." Seeing that I was in a daze, the uncle called me strangely, and asked, "Why are you in a daze?"

"It's nothing, I just walked away for a while." I quickly covered my left hand, pretended to be serious and leaned over and said, "How, have you found a useful clue?"

The uncle glanced at me angrily, poked a piece of paper on the bed and said, "I have figured out where they went after they came out of the golden ghost city, and found two key words."

"Key words?" I asked, but I couldn't help but think of that stone in my heart.

"En." The uncle nodded, arranged the papers in order, and pointed them to me one by one: "The one in the Golden Ghost City that caused them to fail in their actions and be possessed by a curse was that special space in the extreme of the earth. After a group of people came out of the ghost town, they had no face to go home and reunite with their wives and children, so they reunited to find a way to lift the curse. They also noticed the problem of the end of the earth, and began to doubt how they got out of the ghost town, so they A very vulgar name was given to the special space, called the dead space..."

With the two goals of Earth's End and Dead Space, this group of people began to search for information, looking for things similar to Earth's Extremes from historical materials of various dynasties and even anecdotes such as Shan Hai Jing.

They are numerous and powerful, and they are all elites in this field. It didn't take long to find relevant information, and learned that in addition to the ancient Nanzhao country, there was also a country in the Western Han Dynasty that hid secrets about the extremes of the earth.

This country is Khotan (Tian Ersheng), one of the ancient countries in the Western Regions. As the most prosperous ancient kingdom in the Western Regions at that time, Khotan hides countless unknown secrets. It is the center of Mahayana Buddhism and one of the sources of Central Plains Buddhism. , the King of Diru, who established Khotan, was described by the folks as a god-like existence.

It is said that in the center of the ancient city of Khotan, there is buried a black hole that leads directly to the deepest part of the ground. This black hole is the original form of the extreme of the earth, and at the end of the extreme of the earth, there is hidden power that can make people immortal.

From the information left by Chu Wentian and others, it can be seen that they thought that the reason why the Nanzhao Kingdom’s Earth Extremes would curse people was because Nanzhao Kingdom’s technology was not in place, and they wanted to forge an Earth Extreme. However, he misunderstood the essential gap between immortality and immortality, which is why the legendary immortality became a terrible death curse.

If you want to lift the curse, you must find the real extreme of the earth. Even if you can't live forever, you have to figure out the reason and find a way to restrain the curse.

In other words, our next goal is to find the ancient city of Khotan, which has long since disappeared in the desert, and enter the real end of the earth, just like the group of people back then, so that the descendants of the three families can escape from this terrible curse.

After finishing speaking, the uncle frowned and scratched a few times on the dead space, propped his chin and muttered: "I suddenly remembered something, before you found the golden ghost city, you and Dao Feng fell into the valley and found the body of the senior Dao family. This valley is probably the connection between the dead space and the outside world, which explains why you found dead bodies there."

"Hmm." I nodded: "It is indeed possible, but we didn't make it clear at the time. In fact, we found it in a cave in the valley. Now that I think about it, there are many places in the cave that are worth exploring, and the old man The reminder that he arrested me may be to tell us that there is a direct access to the end of the earth."

Dao Feng frowned when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "But he was hacked to death from behind."

The uncle said: "This is also a suspicious point. Another suspicious point is Wen Wen. This woman actively searched for clues when she cooperated for the first time. It can be seen from these materials that most of them came from Wen Wen. Many of them were collected and organized by her, but Wen Wen tried her best to obstruct the second cooperation. It is possible, one is that she is the traitor who caused the death of everyone back then, and the other is that she knows who the traitor is, or she knows the reason for the death of those people, so as to prevent the group of five from continuing to search, lest everyone die."

I thought of the jewelry box and asked tentatively, "Then what do you think is more likely?"

The uncle narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said, "Both possibilities are very high. After all, I lack a fundamental understanding of Wen Wen."

I hesitated whether to hand over the jewelry box, thinking of the strange power of that stone, and gave up again.

So I changed the subject and said, "Then what should we do now, should we go to the ancient city of Khotan immediately, or continue to look for clues in other places?"

The uncle glanced at me, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to go to other places, we'd better find the ancient city of Khotan according to these maps immediately, I guess Chu Wentian and Dao Yan are almost here now, although Gu Hai and Wen Wen didn't show up, It shouldn't be far away, no matter what Wen Wen's real thoughts are, she can't be allowed to get close to the extreme of the earth, otherwise the clues we need may be destroyed by her, she prevents the group of five from continuing to search, but follows them The purpose of setting off is naturally to find another opportunity to block the clues, if she really destroys things, it will be too late to say anything by then."

After hearing what the uncle said, we nodded one after another. After discussing with the four of us, we decided to set off for the Tarim Basin tomorrow morning. But before that, we have to go to a small town nearby to make final preparations and arrangements, and go deep into the vast expanse. The desert is in danger of death at any time, and you must not play tricks on it.

After Uncle and Sister Xuan left, I grabbed Dao Feng quickly.

He stopped and turned to look at me with a little doubt in his eyes.

I pointed at him to my bed, which was obvious. It was covered with messy papers and stained with a lot of dust, so I couldn't sleep at all.

Dao Feng looked at the useless waste paper and nodded helplessly.

I followed Dao Feng to his room, and found that it was a room for two people. Dao Feng only occupied one bed, and the other was laid there intact. Hippie smiled and hooked up a few words, but now I can't help but think about other aspects.

Dao Feng has always been lukewarm to me, what is he thinking, does he really like me, or is he just playing with me for fun?

This thought suddenly popped up in my mind, and I froze for a moment, then quickly denied it.

Dao Feng is not that kind of person, he is serious and gentle, he will never play tricks on me about this kind of thing...

My chest was stuffy. I sat on another bed and watched Dao Feng take off his coat. His sturdy figure was immediately revealed. I couldn't help but be confused by him. I'd probably like to...

Dao Feng noticed my gaze and turned around to look at me. I hurriedly lowered my head in embarrassment and took off my clothes, intentionally covering the stones in my jacket pocket, then rolled up my clothes and threw them aside.

"There's not even a hanger in the broken place." I said casually.

Dao Feng stared at me for a while, then suddenly walked over and said, "What's wrong with you."

"What's wrong?" When he asked, I started to panic inexplicably.

"You're a little weird today."

"It's strange."

Dao Feng shook his head, indicating that he couldn't say anything, but those dark eyes were still staring at me. After a while, he continued to ask: "Do you have anything to say?"

I guess Dao Feng probably wanted to ask me directly if I had something to hide from them, and he chose a more euphemistic way because of my mood.

Thinking of this, I smiled, put my arms around Dao Feng's waist, buried my head on him, rubbed my forehead against the attractive abdominal muscles, and said in a muffled voice: "How is it possible, I have already said something. ,do not think too much."
