Chapter 339: Yinshan Village

The lid of the coffin was raised, and a pair of white and soft hands stretched out from the edge, the nails of the hands were painted in colorful peach, and from the cracks of the lid, one could vaguely see a woman wearing a big red wedding dress lying inside.

This woman, like the woman in the coffin in the temple, had a cover over her face, and her upper body was slightly raised, so it was clear that it was impossible to see through the cover, but Mu Sicheng felt that the bride was peeping at him and at the situation inside the pit through the cover.

The bride struck the lid of the coffin twice more with her finger, making a thud.

The ghost dragging the coffin in front of him seemed to have received some instructions, and slowly turned his head back, splitting the two slits between his eyes and mouth, his blood-red eyes staring straight at Mu Sicheng, who was less than ten centimeters away from him, and then his bones violently began to twist and deform.

"Spotted, run!" Without hesitation, Bai Liu quickly crawled forward.

At Bai Liu's command, both Mu Sicheng and the ghosts began to fly and climb.

Mu Sicheng was so scared that he cried out to his parents and crawled forward frantically after Bai Liu, but fortunately the pit in this place was big enough for them to move forward in a half-crouch, and they were able to move a lot faster than before.

In the dark tunnel, a ghost with a pale complexion and twisted limbs rushed up, its features and body constantly changing and twisting, like a plaster statue in the process of molding.

Mu Sicheng just looked back and was scared out of his wits, moving faster.

However, due to the space limitation, the Mu Sicheng who broke the back was still not as fast as the devils, and when he was about to see the exit, Mu Sicheng was bitten by the devils who used all their limbs and crawled forward at a fast speed, and yanked backward with a hissing sound.

Mu Sicheng barely even had time to make a sound before the devils dragged him into the darkness.

Bai Liu turned around and grabbed Mu Sicheng's hand that was going to be dragged away, bit the tip of his tongue and dipped his finger in the blood of his tongue and drew a talisman on Mu Sicheng's wrist while calmly reciting, "Thundering orders, as urgent as a starburst ...... Yin souls cover the body, Yin souls haunt the road, Yin and Yang are separated. Break!"

Mu Sicheng's brain was blank, he backhanded the talisman Bai Liu drew on his hand and paste it on the devils lying on his body.

The talisman vibrated away in Mu Sicheng's hand, radiating an invisible force and ripple that instantly separated Mu Sicheng and the devils.

The ghost of the devourer let out a mournful howl and tried to rush forward, but suddenly, it stopped, its head turned around three hundred and sixty degrees to look at it for a moment, and the eyes and mouth slits that appeared on its face slowly disappeared again.

The ghost can't seem to see Bai Liu and the others.

Mu Sicheng, who was stuck to the wall of the passage, did not dare to take a breath.

This devourer sniffed back and forth within the tunnel several times, as if it was separated by an invisible air barrier, and was never able to discover Mu Sicheng and Bai Liu, so it flopped down on the ground again and crawled away outside.

Mu Sicheng sits deflated on the ground, panting heavily, holding up his camera in a trance, "Gone, gone ......"

Bai Liu took Mu Sicheng's camera, then crouched down in the light of the camera and tore off Mu Sicheng's clothes, tied Mu Sicheng's bleeding ankles from the bites, and then paused for a subtle moment.

That ghost's teeth don't look too clean, could he get rabies if he's bitten?

Rabies he remembers like 24 hours without vaccination people are gone ......

Mu Sicheng let out a long breath as he wiped the cold sweat from his face and looked towards Bai Liu : "What did you just use to hold back the devils?"

Bai Liu glanced up at Mu Sicheng, "A talisman, called the [Yin-Yang Road Separation Talisman], can separate the netherworld from the yangworld, spacing out a road in the middle, so that things standing on either side of the road cannot touch each other."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but complain, "You have this kind of good stuff you bring it out earlier, early use we don't need to be whisked away like a dog ......"

Bai Liu paused again before speaking, "[Yin-Yang Road Separation Charms] are of two kinds, one is orthodox and is used to screen out evil objects to protect oneself, it can place the person who performs the Taoist technique in the Yang world and force the evil object to be screened out back to the Yin world."

Mu Sicheng The expression on his face gradually froze, "Shouldn't your be ......"

Bai Liu looked compassionately at Mu Sicheng : "Yes, mine is unorthodox, it is used to release evil things, it is to put evil things on the yang road, and the one who performs the Taoist magic will be trapped on the nether road."

"So we're stuck in the netherworld now."

Mu Sicheng turned his head sharply to the spot where he had just used the charm, and as he shone his camera over it, he realized that a road-like trail had indeed been left on the ground there.

The ghost of the devourer just now just didn't have a way to cross this path.

Mu Sicheng limps over unconvincingly and tries to make his way out.

But soon Mu Sicheng realized that he, like the devotee, remained where he was no matter how much he tried to cross that path.

...... He never wished he and the devotee were on the same ground as he did now.

Mu Sicheng looked at the end of the road with a grave expression, and then looked back at Bai Liu, his eyes on the verge of tears, "...... [Yin Yang Road Separation Amulet], what do I have to do to break it?"

Bai Liu patted Mu Sicheng's shoulder comfortingly, "It's fine, the way to break this talisman is very simple."

"We only need to wait until twelve o'clock tonight, that's when Yin and Yang meet, this path won't be able to stop us, and we'll be able to return to the Yang world again."

Mu Sicheng quickly glanced down at the time and said, as if crying, "...... It's okay, only twelve hours to twelve o'clock at night."

"As long as we can get through these twelve hours in peace, we'll be able to go back when it gets dark."

Bai Liu's eyes wandered for a moment, "Uh-huh."

The first twelve hours after being bitten by a strange animal is said to be the prime time for a rabies shot ......

I hope the devils don't have rabies.

Gradually, the tunnel was already one person high, Bai Liu could walk upright, but Mu Sicheng still had to lower his head slightly.

Mu Sicheng drooped his head, glanced at the back of Bai Liu's head who was walking in front of him, and muttered in a small voice, "...... I just thought you wouldn't save me."

Bai Liu's speed of retreat was such that he never looked back from the beginning to the end.

"I wasn't going to save you." Bai Liu spoke frankly, glancing at Mu Sicheng from the side of his eyes, "But didn't you save me as well? Helped me out a bit before I was bitten."

Mu Sicheng grunted, shaking again for some reason, "Count your conscience."

Bai Liu retracted his gaze, "I can't talk about my conscience, but I'm more trustworthy as a person."

The passageway piled with dirt gradually revealed its original appearance, the dry dirt on the walls peeled off, and the wet dirt on the floor turned into a muddy, sticky liquid, making a watery sound as Bai Liu stepped on their progress.

The original irregularly shaped passageway became a more regular rectangle, about one meter wide and two meters high, although it was a bit more spacious than before, it was still very narrow, and two people walking side by side were slightly crowded.

Bai Liu tilted his head and looked around, reaching out to compare, "This is about the size for a coffin to stand up and pass through."

Mu Sicheng got a chill down his spine, "Can you change the measure?"

Bai Liu thought for a moment, "This passageway allows a man and a half to walk."

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Thanks, there was being more intimidated.

After nearly three hours of walking, the exit of the passage finally appeared in front of them.

It was a dark double-open stone tomb door, on one side stood a cross-eyed and angry, teeth and claws of the three Qing Heavenly Father stone statue, the stone door was not completely closed, but there was still a gap for one person to go in and out.

Bai Liu turned on the flashlight and shone a glance at the stone door, "There are no traces of forcible breaking open from the outside on the stone door, and there are no traces of destruction, it should be opened naturally."

Mu Sicheng held his camera up to the tomb door and frowned as he asked, "Shouldn't this kind of ancient tomb door be welded shut? And still open naturally?"

Bai Liu sidled through the door to the tomb, his head turned to either side of the door with his flashlight raised, "It opens from the inside."

There are two lifting buttons on the inside left and right of the tomb door, the strings under the buttons are attached to the stone door, it's one of those simple devices that you can tell at a glance that pressing it down opens the door.

Mu Sicheng looked at his heart jumped violently twice, he swallowed a mouthful of water, "...... Shit, why do you need to repair a tomb and open the tomb door button from the inside ah! The tomb is full of dead people, how can it come out by itself!"

Bai Liu held up his flashlight to look around, sniffing, he casually replied, "That can only mean that the person who repaired the tombs knew that the dead bodies inside these tombs would be able to open the tomb door and come out on their own after many years when they were repairing the tombs."

After taking a look around, Bai Liu took out two red candles, two candlesticks, and a box of matches from his backpack, all of which Bai Liu had shunned from the top of the temple shrine this morning.

Bai Liu fixed the candles to snap on top of the candlesticks, handed one to Mu Sicheng, and lit it with a match.

Mu Sicheng hung the camera around his neck, took the candlestick and looked at Bai Liu doubtfully : "Candles next? The lighting effect is not good, right?"

"It's not just the lighting effect." Bai Liu held up a candlestick to the inside, its dancing flame covered in an odd greenish color.

Bai Liu explained blandly, "Remember where we were?"

Mu Sicheng looked at the cramped surroundings, "In the tomb?"

Bai Liu swept a glance at Mu Sicheng: "Not only in the tomb, we are also on the way to the underworld."

"In the netherworld, you can't illuminate the difference between the living and the dead with light without fire, that is, with a flashlight, the camera can't recognize whether the other person is a human or a ghost, you have to use light with fire like a candle."

"So here, the candle that shines a shadow is a person, and the one without a shadow is a ghost."

Mu Sicheng was in a state of alarm, "No, aren't you and I the only people here? Do we still need candles to recognize this!"

Bai Liu held up the candle, the candlelight illuminated the side of his face so brightly that the color of a living person could not be seen, Bai Liu looked at Mu Sicheng without any expression on his face: "How do you know that I am a human being? What if I'm not."

Mu Sicheng was startled, he subconsciously took a step back, held up the candle and shone it at Bai Liu, and only after realizing that Bai Liu could imprint a shadow on the wall did he let out a sigh of relief and angrily exclaimed, "Don't play with me!"

Bai Liu turned his head and walked straight forward, "I'm not playing with you, the ghost of the devourer has the ability to take on a shape, in case you meet a ghost that takes on my shape instead of me, how will you recognize it without candles?"

"In addition to this, [mountain ghosts blowing out lamps], in the tomb your lamps go out, don't go inside, on the one hand this means that a ghost may have appeared and blown out your lamps, on the other hand, it means that the oxygen content of your circumference may not be enough, and you can't afford for the candles to burn anymore."

Mu Sicheng was furiously goosebumped by Bai Liu's words, "What if the candle really goes out?"

"Don't do anything." Bai Liu said calmly, "This is the netherworld, the land of ghosts, we've earned it by surviving a little longer, what else do you want to do?"

"If the ghost does come to blow out your candles, just go along with him and last a little longer is ......"

Before Bai Liu's words fell, Mu Sicheng clearly saw Bai Liu's shoulders holding a pair of small hands made of greasepaper, and in the darkness behind him poked out a human face made of paper.

The paper man was as white as flour, with two children's fist-sized bright red rouge dotted on the cheekbones of the left and right faces, wearing a red onyx melon-skin hat, a green and black tunic, and a joyful smile traced on his face.

Mu Sicheng seemed to be able to hear the paper man's two, eerie, hee-hee laughs, and he saw the paper man reach out from Bai Liu's shoulder and blow on the candle Bai Liu was holding up.

At the same time, Mu Sicheng heard the sound of paper rubbing behind him, a pair of greasepaper hands covering his eyes, and something riding on his shoulders emitting a cheeky, shrill laugh.

Soon the candle held by Mu Sicheng also went out.

The tomb was plunged into a reaching darkness.
