The red lantern was hung on the inner wall of the low tomb passage, and was swayed left and right by the hot and humid wind blowing from inside. The bright red light swayed back and forth on the damp wall with the lantern, reflecting a lot of light on the wall. ‌Shadows of different heights shine on the wall like a shadow play.

The movements of these shadows were stiff and dull, and they seemed to be talking with each other with their heads stretched out, and they found that Bai Liu had just heard distant and vague words and footsteps, and changed positions with the flickering of the lights, walking into the main tomb. go.

On both sides of the entrance of the main tomb, under the reflection of the lanterns, there are two bowed shadows respectfully standing on the left and right, as if they are welcoming the guests. The dark eyes of these two shadows are empty. The upper part turns around flexibly, as if looking at the ‌ at the entrance, or the shadow.

A gap slowly opened at the shadow's lips, and the strange and sharp voice came from the wall again:

"There are two guests coming to congratulate you, please enter the main hall!"

But there are such shadows on the wall, but there is nothing in the tomb passage. Only the faint red light is shaking, and the light and darkness are intertwined. It is constantly changing the shape of the movement and walking in, becoming more and more on the wall. The clearer the shadow.

After the two welcome shadows at the entrance urged her twice, Bai Liu still didn't move, her crescent-shaped smiling eyes rose and fell, her originally smiling mouth retracted and disappeared, leaving only two A red hole-like aperture stared at Bai Liu.

The shadow's foot that was originally standing on the wall sank by half, and bent to the ground strangely, getting closer to the place where Bai Liu was standing. It urged the third time in a shrill voice:

"There are two guests, please come in."

Bai Liu lowered her eyes and walked in, followed closely by Mu Sicheng.

The two shadows guarding the entrance put their hands in their hands, bowed their bodies, turned their eyes and watched Bai Liu enter the tomb passage, and the mouth slowly opened a huge arc:

"The honored guest is here, the guest of honor welcomes the guest!"

As soon as Bai Liu walked into the tomb passage, the walking steps and noisy conversations of the shadows on both sides of the tomb passage stopped in an instant. sincerity.

These shadows are small and have different shapes, including a woman with a bun, a little girl with a double braid, a hunchbacked old man with a cane, and a middle-aged man in a mandarin jacket. ‌, all stood in the wall without saying a word, staring at Bai Liu and walking slowly into the main tomb.

Mu Sicheng's scalp was numb, he approached Bai Liu, and asked in a low voice: "What are these shadows? Didn't you say that there are only living things in the shadows?"

"Living people can cast shadows in the shade, but not only living things can cast shadows in the shadows." Bai Liu walked into the main tomb without looking sideways.

"Shadow is an image formed by light after the gathering of three souls and seven souls. The essence of the shadow is the same as that of us reflected in the mirror. Therefore, both Minism and Taoism are There is a saying that there are ghosts without shadows, and that ghost marks cannot touch the mirror, because the three souls and seven souls of ghosts are incomplete."

"With form but without shadow, it is transformed into a soul; with a shadow but invisible, it is transformed into a soul."

Bai Liu glanced at the shadows on the wall from the corner of his eye: "These shadows should be the souls of those who died but were trapped here in Yinshan Village, which can never be surpassed."

Mu Sicheng looked around at these shadows, and shivered: "...So these shadows are just ghosts, and compared to the ghosts outside, they are not so harmful. Bar?"

Bai Liu withdrew his gaze: ""Maoshan Sorcery" describes that [the soul of the ‌ is good but the soul is evil, and the soul of the ‌ is bright but the soul is stupid... the soul is there, it is ‌‌; the soul is gone, it is not  ‌‌."

"The world's moving corpses and shadows are done by the soul, but only the way of Tao can control the soul. (Note 1)"

Mu Sicheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "...What do you mean by that?"

Bai Liu simply explained: "It means that the soul is kind, the po is evil, the soul is alive, and the po is ignorant."

"With a soul, this ghost can still be called a thing with human nature, but once the soul is completely dissipated, this ghost has no human nature at all. The most powerful ghost in this world is a soul." Only those with profound Taoism can punish the soul."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help complaining: "Isn't it?! As for those ghostly dead bridge ghost zombies outside, they are still kind and human?!"

Bai Liu replied calmly: "Compared to soul, it is true."

The red light of the lanterns in the tomb is getting brighter and brighter. At some point, Mu Sicheng noticed that the shadows on both sides began to move slowly. Their eyes illuminated by the red light stared at Bai Liu without moving. , The pace of walking under the feet is UFO and illusory.

The shadow's mouths were split with small red gaps, and they were close to each other, whispering in a very vague voice, as if they were listening to the neighbors whispering through a wall, secretive and noisy.

Mu Sicheng couldn't hear what they were saying at all, but it was definitely not a good thing, because the sight of these shadows looking at them made Mu Sicheng feel a lingering malice.

Just when Mu Sicheng looked at these shadows, the back of his neck felt chilly, and he frowned and asked anxiously, "Are these shadows getting shorter and shorter?"

Bai Liu pulled Mu Sicheng a little, and let Mu Sicheng walk directly behind him.

"Pay attention to your feet." Bai Liu reminded lightly, "These souls are trapped in the wall as shadows, and they haven't attacked us now, so they shouldn't be able to escape from the wall and attack us actively, but their shadows can touch our shadows. "

Mu Sicheng lowered his head subconsciously, and was horrified to find that at some point, the feet of these shadows had slowly slipped from the wall to the ground, and were getting closer and closer to their shadows.

No wonder he just saw these shadows getting shorter and shorter! !

The shadows on the wall seem to know that they have been discovered to approach the plot, and they all burst into smiles. The almost identical smiles and red lips appear on the shadows of different men, women, and old men at the same time, accompanied by different voices. The sound of laughter came from the wall.

Mu Sicheng was so frightened that he immediately started walking in a straight line behind Bai Liu, trying to keep his shadow in the center and away from these souls.

Bai Liu squinted at Mu Sicheng's shadow on the ground from the corner of his eye, and it was so faint that it was almost invisible.

There is no shadow, which means that Mu Sicheng's soul is about to be separated now, so he can't see the shadow.

And Mu Sicheng here has a personality but no shadow, then Mu Sicheng here is a soul, so what stays in Mu Sicheng's body, it goes without saying, is soul up.

Soul has no nature, only vicious.

Things have become a little bit troublesome. Things like soul can only be subdued by righteous methods, but there is no righteous method for Bailiu, only evil methods.

We can only take one step at a time.

Bai Liu walked to the end of the tomb passage, and pushed open a narrow faded red double wooden door.

The shadows on the wall looked at Bai Liu with the salivating gaze that made the scalp tense, and at the same time complimented each other and smiled and entered the wooden door.

Bai Liu led Mu Sicheng into the wooden door.

As soon as you enter the wooden door, the scene of the always low tomb suddenly becomes brighter. The height of the top of the tomb is several times higher than that of the previous one. It seems to be as high as two or three floors. The decoration of the main tomb is according to the old style. The main hall of the house is imitated, with red candles, white candles and lanterns everywhere, which can almost be called brightly lit.

The shadows that file in are wandering around on the wall, and there are many scenes of banqueting guests drawn on the wall, chatting with the shadows, and the sound of laughing and playing is appropriate. Of course, if these shadows do not stare straight at Looking at Bai Liu, he will bless this lively banquet more sincerely.

Facing the wooden door, seven Eight Immortals Tables were placed in a certain order. The Eight Immortals Tables were covered with thick dust, but you could vaguely see the strange gossip patterns on the Eight Immortals Tables. The legs of the Eight Immortals Tables were nailed to the ground with golden nails. move.

Surrounding the Eight Immortals table are not tables, chairs and benches, but coffins standing upright. These coffins have been opened, leaving only an empty coffin box, piled up randomly on the ground The lid of the coffin, and the red thread is still wrapped around the coffin.

The interior of the coffin was very decayed, and water was still dripping down. A bronze mirror was inlaid on the head, which was similar to the bride's coffin that Bai Liuzhi saw in the temple.

Bai Liu walked up and walked around these coffins, knelt down and carefully stroked the red line on the lid of the coffin: "There is no dust on the fracture, it was just torn off, the corpse inside should be still there Didn't go very far."

Then Bai Liu stood up, walked around these coffins one by one, and counted softly: "1, 2...33."

"There are only 33 empty coffins." Bai Liu looked around, "There are 16 empty coffins."

Mu Sicheng stood far away, and when he saw these coffins, he panicked and didn't want to approach them at all: "How do you know that there are 16 coffins?"

"This should be a formation with seven as the extreme number." Bai Liu pointed to the seven tables of the Eight Immortals, "The zombies who drive corpses, the ghosts on the bridge, and the coffins we guard in the temple are all seven." Well, according to this rule, there should be seven coffins corresponding to each Eight Immortals table here."

"It can be seen from the dust on the ground." Bai Liu motioned Mu Sicheng to look at the ground, "The dust on these places is not heavy, and there are traces of dragging. It should have been a coffin."

"These 16 coffins should have been carried away by the ghosts we met on the road."

Bai Liuruo thought: "But these ghosts were originally formed because of the tomb owner, and they should only listen to one order from the tomb owner, and this formation should be the tomb owner's order." It was not arranged a hundred years ago."

"Why does the owner of the tomb want these ghosts to move the bride's coffins into the tomb after a hundred years, destroying the formation that he has painstakingly arranged a hundred years ago?"

Bai Liu drooped his eyes and rubbed the dust off his hands: "It's only one step away, he will be able to gather Yin Qi and train himself into a peerless Yin corpse."
