Chapter 333: Yinshan Village

"So this first seven days, still need you Yinshan village out of the people to guard." He Daniu said, as he walked up the mountain path, then propped up his knees and took a short break, muttering, "If we outsiders come to guard it, sooner or later something strange will happen."

Bai Liu went up and helped He Daniu a little, "What kind of strange things can happen?"

He Daniu again a quiet, a long time before waving his hand and said: "just, now people are dead, you are the only few seedlings left in the Yinshan Village, there is nothing to avoid, and you said also no harm."

"This Yinshan village is not only xenophobic, but also has many strange customs, which I'm not from here, but I've heard a lot about because they're really bizarre."

He Daniu looked at the mountain road with paper money floating in the air and fell into memories:

"There is no good death in this Yinshan village, there are many different ways to die, such as being killed by falling bricks and mortar, choking to death on bones while eating, etc., but it is the drowning that kills the most people, and the weir ponds out there drown several people every year."

"This is not the most bizarre, the most bizarre has to be the burial customs of Yinshan Village."

"For those who drowned, Yinshan Village would normally bury them in coffins and birthday suits, and if they were not drowned, and were unmarried women, Yinshan Village would make the dead women wear Xiqi robes, and carry the dead women in palanquins with great fanfare, beating gongs and blowing oboes."

"They also like to be buried together, that is, those who have recently died together to find a day to be buried, and if during that time there is both a drowned person and an unmarried young girl who dies suddenly, then it is the wedding sedan chair and coffin together on the road, red and white affairs are organized together."

"Which have done so ......" He Daniu shook his head repeatedly, "Newlywed burial, red face, red clothes, red sedan chair, red shoes, red rouge, five red, drowning burial, white water, white clothes, white pants, white shoes, white paper money, five white are in, these two kinds of collide together, is to become a bogey, to be buried for eternity, ah."

He Daniu sighed, "This Yinshan Village has been buried this way for generations, and I don't know how many resentful souls have been saved up in this realm."

"But count me as a feudal superstition." He Daniu turns his head to look at Bai Liu for a moment, "I don't suppose you youngsters believe in that, do you?"

He Daniu did not wait for Bai Liu to reply and continued, "It's okay if you don't believe, if you don't believe, you won't get through to the ghosts and gods, and if you don't believe, you won't be able to see them."

"But if it is time for you to believe, and you see these things, do not be afraid; just do not offend them; they will not come easily to initiate harm."

He Daniu gave Bai Liu a deep look, "If you have an unrighteous heart and insist on offending them, then you will not be able to run out of this Yinshan Village even if you go to heaven or earth."

"This realm is a place that has trapped hundreds of years of wronged souls that cannot be overthrown, so I advise you young people who don't know the heights of heaven to behave yourselves."

After saying that, He Daniu didn't even look at Bai Liu's expression, and opened Bai Liu's hand to help him, and limped on his own back to continue walking towards the mountain.

"Follow." Without looking back, He Daniu said, "The place where your grandfathers put the bodies is coming."

Bai Liu looked farther along the mountain road that He Daniu was traveling and saw a temple covered with white cloth not far away, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a Taoist-style temple.

The entrance to the temple placed seven or eight wreaths, wreaths hanging on both sides of the two long couplets, to go inside, the temple in the center of the temple enshrined a statue of the three Qing Yuan Shi Tianzun statue, which looks very old, but the top did not hang ash nor paint flaking, there are a lot of traces of restoration, it can be seen to be taken care of and well-maintained.

At this time the statue is holding the floating dust eyes slightly narrowed, seems to be measuring the Bai Liu group of people who walked in.

The temple was full of incense, candles and incense were burning, and there was a strong smell of incense and oil coming from the face, and outside the incense platform on the front of the statue of the god lined up, there were seven coffins, all supported by two wooden benches.

As soon as He Daniu came in, he lit three sticks of incense, respectfully bowed three times to the idol, and then lit them.

"God three, ghost four." He Daniu, who had finished lighting the incense, turned over and looked at Bai Liu, "Remember this, don't burn the wrong kind of incense when you burn it for Master Dao, or if something happens, Master Dao won't bless you little brats who forget your ancestors."

Mu Sicheng pressed against Bai Liu's ear and asked in a low voice, "God three ghosts four, what does that mean?"

Bai Liu softly explained, "A common setting in Chinese horror games, burn three sticks of incense for the gods and kowtow three times, burn four sticks of incense for the ghosts and kowtow four times."

Mu Sicheng asked with a grave expression, "What if it burns wrong?"

Bai Liu's eyes flicked over the seven coffins, "I guess it's about to wake up the things in those coffins and start the chase."

Mu Sicheng looked horrified and quickly chanted a few words in a low voice [God Three Demons Four].

"Come here." He Daniu beckoned to Bai Liu.

Bai Liu pulled Mu Sicheng, who was saying in horror, "What if there's a four in my name", and walked over to him.

He Daniu saw Bai Liu come over and patted the coffin, "Look at this."

Bai Liu looked down at the surface of the coffin, four bells were tied to the corners of the black lacquered coffin, and the four bells were threaded by several thin red threads, one horizontal and one vertical across the surface of the coffin.

The place where the red lines crossed was labeled with a talisman, on which some designs had been drawn with vermillion dragons, and at the top, three big words were written furiously - [An Anguish Spell].

He Daniu looked up at Bai Liu: "See the yellow talisman pressed on the crossed red lines? This is the [An Fury Mantra] that was drawn by a nearby Taoist master who is highly skilled in the art of Taoism, used to suppress the water corpse in the coffin, don't take it off."

Bai Liu scanned the talisman, "What happens if you take it off?"

He Daniu fixedly looked at Bai Liu a glance: "This coffin are your ancestors, are high life before death, according to reason is a happy funeral, even if the brake should not be difficult for you to have blood relations with the ancestors."

"But the bad thing is that they fell into the water and died when they went up the mountain to pay homage to their ancestors during the Qingming Festival."

He Daniu looked toward the coffin, "Yinshan village here trapped for many years not allowed to reincarnation of the ghosts, Qingming season is the time they come out to roam, your grandparents body stained a lot of the grievances of the previous ghosts of the grievances of the death of the death of drowning this way of death, the water for the yin, the water ghosts are happy to look for a double."

"What do you think will happen if you lift this charm?"

A seeping smile appeared on He Daniu's bleak face, "Of course it was pulled by your good grandpa, good grandma to be a double."

Mu Sicheng was shivering from the laughter and subconsciously took half a step back.

Steady as a mountain, Bai Liu calmly inquired, "Then is there more of this [An Fury Curse]?"

He Daniu turned around and came over to the temple and paid homage to the statue of the Three Pristine Ones again, answering Bai Liu without looking back, "No more."

"Now except for our old generation, who still believe in these, willing to spend money to invite the Taoist master is also less, only the people in Yinshan village still believe in this, the temple incense is good, and there are several small stores selling yellow talisman and vermilion sand."

"But then there were fewer and fewer people in the Yinshan village, and these small stores had long since closed, and these talismans were all left in the village by that Taoist master before he left."

He Daniu turned around shakily, his tone ghostly:

"That Taoist said that there will be a great chaos in Yinshan Village within recent years, so he left these [An Fury Mantra], saying that although it can't be dissolved, it can barely be delayed for a while, and he also came to our village to say that we should not get close to Yinshan Village in the near future, as it will be easy for things to go wrong."

"Not long after that Taoist master left, something happened to your grandparents, and these Ansatsuki spells came in handy."

He Daniu looked straight at Bai Liu with his eyes : "The talismans left behind by that Taoist master, one no more, one no less, exactly seven, and your dead ancestors, one no more, one no less, also exactly seven."

"Seven Charms, Seven Coffins, and the First Seven Returns ......"

"Seven in Taoism is the pole of yin and yang, the number of coming back, implying that things converge at this number of yin and yang, and things that have happened in the past come back." He Daniu looked at the statue of the Three Pristine Ones with an obscure expression and shook his head, "What has happened in the past is about to happen again, human power cannot stop it."

"If you hear the bells ringing at the four corners of the coffin, don't run around, it's more dangerous outside, stay here and Master Tao may still be able to save your life."

With that, He Daniu looked up at the sky outside and held up his flashlight as he walked outside, "It's getting late, I have to go, if it gets any later I won't be able to leave."

Mu Sicheng tried to reach out and grab He Daniu, a useful NPC at first glance, to prevent him from leaving, but only managed to grab the corner of He Daniu's fluttering and swinging coat.

"Don t stay the person who should not stay, can not stay, just as the person who should not go, also can not go away ......" He Daniu while his voice indistinctly said, while hobbling to the outside, seems to move slowly, but the back quickly disappeared in the mist and paper embers.

"Something more help Taoist, it is dark, do not take the weir across, it is not safe ......"

As soon as He Daniu left, the lights in the temple, which had been flourishing, shook, and a gust of cloudy wind blew through, depressing the brightness by several degrees out of thin air.

Mu Sicheng asked in a low voice, "Bai Liu, how credible do you think this He Daniu's words are?"

Bai Liu looks down at the talisman on the coffin, "You can believe it all."

Mu Sicheng was stunned, "Why? Does this He Daniu have any identity?"

"He should be the Taoist master." Bai Liu said faintly, "This is a very obvious Chinese horror copy that uses Taoism to fight against ghosts and gods, and the npc given out in the opening chapter is so familiar with Taoist information, and gives a lot of direction friendly hints, it's usually a setting for a worldly master."

"And at the moment the only person we know of outside the world is the Taoist master in his own words, so the best guess here in my mind is that He Daniu is that Taoist master."

Mu Sicheng stood next to the idol, away from the coffin, and asked, "This He Daniu I feel like he wants to help us, and it's this setting of a Taoist master of the Way, so why did he leave?"

Bai Liu looked up at the idol behind Mu Sicheng, "Because he couldn't handle the situation that was coming."

"Animals run away from dangerous situations, let alone people."

Mu Sicheng was chilled at the back of his neck by Bai Liu's words, and warily moved a little further away from the coffin.

"But it's not hopeless." Bai Liu withdrew his gaze to look at Mu Sicheng, "He gave us a hint, look for anything hidden behind the idol."

Mu Sicheng responded, flinging his hands into monkey paws and taking a deep breath to reach behind the idol and dig in.

Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi, who had been hiding behind the statue of the god, heard that Bai Liu had asked Mu Sicheng to come over and coincidentally revealed a smug smile.

Because they had played this game, they directly took a shortcut down from the back of the mountain and did not go through the main gate to trigger He Daniu the npc to go through the plot, so they arrived at this temple one step earlier than Bai Liu, and hid behind the statue of the god one step earlier.

Yang Zhi gave a thumbs up to Kong Xuyang, and sincerely praised Kong Xuyang with a mouthful of praise.

Kong Xuyang looked to the Maoshan Rune Spell Art in his hand and sinisterly hooked up one side of his mouth.

Bai Liu This person is quite smart, the game settings and plot guesses are actually not wrong, all correct.

That He Daniu was indeed an old Taoist who stayed here to keep watch because he was afraid that those who came back would be brutalized by the spirits here, so he stayed here to remind those who returned to their hometowns.

But since He Daniu himself is also under the watchful eye of the spirits, he does not dare to blatantly hint at it, and can only take the blessing of the temple in this way, and give the player some self-defense items in a veiled manner.

And of all the things He Daniu left for the player's defense, the most valuable item was this book, "The Art of Maoshan Runes and Spells," hidden under the statue of the god.

With this book, even if the player has no skills or props at all, he can survive this difficult puzzle-oriented game unharmed.

But sorry, the book has already been snapped up by him.

This book was one of Kong Xuyang's key strengths in daring to use this next plan of his, because after he unleashed his [Silence and Silence] skill, neither Bai Liu nor he would be able to open the system panel.

Without the book, he wouldn't have survived the pass in this copy.

Kong Xuyang turned around, glanced at Yang Zhi again, and said with a mouthful of words, "You've all figured out what you're going to do later, right? You use your skills first, then I'll use them, got it?"

Yang Zhi nodded solemnly.

Kong Xuyang's eyes stared straight into the air as he made the sign of one and mouthed, "One - two -"

"Three! Go!" Kong Xuyang bellowed, and Yang Zhi and him simultaneously jumped out from behind the idol, appearing in front of Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng.

[System Alert: Player Silence Lamb is using his personal skill (Eat Memory Lamb) on player Bai Liu, player Mu Sicheng, this skill allows (Silence Lamb) to eat all of player Bai Liu, player Mu Sicheng's memories within this game, making the other player forget who he is, and his memories will be restored after leaving the game.]

[System Alert: Player Kong Xuyang is using his personal skill (Silence), the system panel of all players in the field is frozen and cannot be used].

A burst of watery white light shook away, and the system panel Mu Sicheng floated in front of him quickly turned gray and froze, then shattered and disappeared, and the Game Manager in front of him turned gray, just like an ordinary coin.

The moment Mu Sicheng noticed the two men jumping out from behind the idol, he almost reflexively turned his head and tried to run towards Bai Liu.

But before he could run past, the watery white light swung across the back of Mu Sicheng's head, and his eyes couldn't help but blank out, his movements suddenly coming to a halt.

The white light shook through Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu's brains and turned into a circular halo that was sucked back into Yang Zhi's mouth, Yang Zhi's belly instantly grew large, and he burped with his bulging belly.

Mu Sicheng looked dully at his hands, frowned again and rubbed the back of his head, lifted his head and turned to look around in confusion, "What is ...... this place?"

"How did I get here ......?"

Next to them, Kong Xuyang and Yang Zhi looked at each other, and after revealing a knowing smile, they stepped forward to help Mu Sicheng, who was still a bit dizzy and staggering in place because of the skills that had been cast on him, "You're a wild live-streaming uploader, specializing in making paranormal videos about seeing ghosts! "

Mu Sicheng looked over blankly, "What is it?"

Kong Xuyang feinted to slap the bag on Mu Sicheng's shoulder in anger: "Eh! Why do you forget who you are after drinking? Open the bag and see for yourself."

Mu Sicheng dizzily opened his book bag and read it.

The book bag neatly held several cameras, a folded up tripod, two radios, and two professional grade video cameras, and in the small pocket was Mu Sicheng's work card, which blatantly read [xx live streaming platform contracted psychic live uploader].

Mu Sicheng was stunned, he held up his work permit in confusion, looked at the photo of himself on the job, frowned and asked rhetorically, "Am I really a ...... psychic live uploader?"

Beside Kong Xuyang, he smiled evilly, "Yeah, that's your [identity] ah."

The most sinister point of the book "Yinshan Village" is that every player who comes in has made a special death-defying [identity] setting, which players must play in the game, and once they do something against this identity setting, the game difficulty will rise steeply, and the action can easily meet the ghosts of the grievances to be screwed up.

The last time Kong Xuyang entered this copy of the game it was six people, there was an identity set as [uploader who came to Yinshan Village to do a psychic live broadcast], and the side quest for this identity was [photograph the most terrifying ghosts].

As soon as Kong Xuyang saw Mu Sicheng carrying a big bag, he knew that Mu Sicheng had gotten this identity setting.

Still, the hardest identity to set up is ......

Kong Xuyang turned his head wistfully to Bai Liu, who was lying next to the coffin.

Bai Liu ah Bai Liu, you deserve to be lucky 0, all of a sudden you drew this most difficult character setup in the copies I've cleared.

Mu Sicheng also seemed to notice that there was an unconscious person lying here, and stood up violently, Mu Sicheng subconsciously rushed up to help Bai Liu up, and anxiously shook him twice: "Hey! Hey! What's wrong with you!"

After shaking it Mu Sicheng paused strangely.

What's going on ...... Why is he so worried about this person he doesn't even know? He doesn't seem to be the type to be familiar with strangers, but why does he feel for this person like ......

It's like they've known each other for a long time.

But before Mu Sicheng could figure it out, Bai Liu had already woken up.

As if he had never fainted, Bai Liu naturally helped Mu Sicheng's shoulder to stand up, and Mu Sicheng naturally reached out to help Bai Liu up and put a small bench for him to sit down and rest.

When he had finished, Mu Sicheng paused again, slowly realizing what was wrong.

Why is he so used to this person doing this kind of action like a servant ah ......

Bai Liu woke up, and with little need for a deliberate reminder from Kong Xuyang, he took it upon himself to open his backpack and look for something, then nodded knowingly.

This normal over-the-top demeanor caused Kong Xuyang to glance at Yang Zhi in disbelief, questioning with his eyes - [Are you sure you've eaten into Bai Liu's memories?

Yang Zhi saw Bai Liu's unusual and comfortable actions and was also very shocked.

Yang Zhi confusedly patted his belly and confirmed that the memories he was digesting in his belly were really Bai Liu's before he opened his eyes wide and raised his three fingers to Kong Xuyang to assure him - [I really ate Bai Liu's memories.

The memories that Yang Zhi eats are digested in the form of [meat] in his stomach and intestines. If digested quickly, Yang Zhi can still see something from the digested memories, which is why Yang Zhi's memories were often confused before.

But to devour all of a person's memories would be like eating a whole cow for Yang Zhi, and one game is not nearly enough time for Yang Zhi to digest it.

So Yang Zhi, Kong Xuyang's skill, is only used as a skill to confuse the opponent, not as a skill to spy on them.

However, Yang Zhi has a sense of the memories he ate, and he says he is digesting Bai Liu's memories, so that proves that Bai Liu did have his memories eaten, and is a blank person with no memories.

Kong Xuyang retracted his gaze, he tentatively took two steps in Bai Liu's direction, "Bai Liu, are you okay? Did you just drink too much?"

Bai Liu looks up at Kong Xuyang: "I'm okay."

Kong Xuyang sat down next to Bai Liu and comforted him with a look of pity: "Our grandparents are both dead, we are both returning to our hometowns to pay homage to our ancestors, so it's kind of the same thing, don't be sad."

"I'm not sad." Bai Liu pulls a book out of his bag, holds it up and smiles, "Because it looks like I came back to do bad things."

The seven scribbled brush strokes on the book Bai Liu took out plainly read Maoshan Evil Art Handbook.
