Chapter 36: Ghost Tree?(1/2)
"Actually, you can survive from the coffin village, which shows your strength. It's not a problem to pretend to be weak and unyielding. Who hasn't had two quirks in this industry? They are all ways to release stress."
Uncle Zhang smiled and looked quite gentle and kind. Only by listening carefully from what he said could he discover the man's carefulness and scheming.
His voice was not deliberately suppressed, but many team members were not focused on their attention. Uncle Zhang wanted to test the newcomers, not what they should have listened to.
Yu Xing laughed, neither refuting nor agreeing.
"I just met a water ghost. Although the water ghost didn't bother others and just came to pester you, you were really not lucky, but obviously your strength was enough to ignore the water ghost. The boy Carlos said that you have strong brain power. I thought you were weaker, but I didn't expect you to develop quite versatilely." Uncle Zhang concluded Yu Xing with a few words, as if he would never listen to the quibble.
Yu Xing laughed: "It's all like this, what else do you want to know about me?"
Uncle Zhang looked at him with interest: "Can you cook?"
Yu Xing: “…?”
This is an unexpected problem.
Isn’t it because I think cooking alone is too hard and want to get myself into the water?
He immediately became cautious, holding on to his determination to lie down and never sit down, and replied against his will: "No. Everyone at home cooks food."
"Oh... it's a sin." Uncle Zhang patted his thigh in distress, "Now young people are worse than the other. Men must be able to cook before they can chase the girls they like!"
"So really want to find someone to help you cook?" Yu Xing looked over directly and saw Uncle Zhang nodding. He smiled, "Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry, you lost to Mr. Li when you know how to cook, so don't lie to young people, young people are already very miserable."
Mr. Li had sharp ears. He was just about to be the foothold of the Beidou Formation when he suddenly heard his name and looked here.
Uncle Zhang cleared his throat and waved his hand at Master Li: "It's nothing to do!"
Mr. Li stared at him for a while, but finally said nothing. Uncle Zhang glared at Yu Xing and whispered in a low voice: "Don't you keep bringing any pot without opening any pot. To be honest, that incident hurt him much more than me back then. I won't be sad if you really bring it up, but he is in a bad mood."
"Okay~ OK~" Yu Xing shut his mouth obediently, leaned against the wall, his eyes kept exploring the surrounding environment, and recorded where people could hide and where the road was difficult to escape.
"Hey, the main topic has not been finished. I'm off topic, you kid really won't go to the main topic." Uncle Zhang saw that Yu Xing didn't want to continue chatting at all, so he could only pull him back in person, "I want to ask, you were found by Sun Dacheng, and their team could barely make do with the small tomb. When they came to the Demon Dao Tomb Palace, they were looking for death. Then you--"
Sun Dacheng?
Yu Xing reacted for a moment. Is Brother Sun’s name Sun Dacheng?
He could understand that Uncle Zhang was afraid that his strength would not be enough to survive without protection, because Brother Sun's team had powerful and ordinary people, and there was no such strict strength limit as this team.
"Tell me a brief explanation. Can you escape like a guard ghost?" Uncle Zhang planned to use the guard ghost as a unit of measurement for strength.
The people who got into the water in this team, except for Unika, were confident that they could survive the gatekeeper's hands, and their injuries would not be too serious. After looking at the coffin later, these people didn't have to worry about it at all. Only San's strength is still uncertain.
"Stealing Ghost..." Yu Xing had never met him and had no idea about this kind of ghost. However, based on the tone of the previous mention of the gate ghost, he guessed from the reactions of everyone and found a number.
If you have to use what he has seen, the guard ghost should be equivalent to Alice in zero point eight evil spirit forms. They are all entities, and they are definitely much worse than Alice in terms of speed and physical fitness. However, the guard ghost can have some illusions and curses, such as causing people to get sick, which supplements some shortcomings in their abilities.
When he met Alice, he couldn't find a way to kill Alice, but he used the method of destroying the rose to make Alice lose his vitality.
But at that time, his physical fitness had not recovered and he was very weak. He could only run when he met Alice, and there were rules to protect him. If he were now, he might still be able to fight.
Therefore, the guardian should not be too threatening to him. If he finds that he will be injured after fighting, he will not be unable to escape.
Yu Xing didn't expect to cause chaos at that time, so he said directly: "If the guardian ghost suddenly rises up, you don't have to worry about me, I can run away by myself."
"I'm sure I can run?" Uncle Zhang confirmed it.
Yu Xing: "Or else can you kill?"
Uncle Zhang: "That's still impossible to kill, so it's exempt."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Uncle Zhang walked away.
Yu Xing sighed, and then something touched his ankle.
His pupils shrank slightly, and he swept the long knife in his hand, and the thing quietly shattered into pieces.
The paper was scattered, and a small paper head with some grievance rolled to the side. Yu Xing paused and looked at Carlos not far away.
Carlos was also looking at him. In the past few minutes, he seemed to have recovered.
The little paper man died before he could succeed. Carlos got up and came over with his lips pursed.
Yu Xing raised his face, and the night pearl on his top was shining, leaving Carlos's face hidden in the darkness.
"Are you so cruel to my paper man?" Carlos's voice still had a smile. If there were no paper pieces, the picture would have been a little more harmonious.
Yu Xing yawned and relaxed: "Who told you to touch me again without saying a word? Isn't this an instinctive reaction?"
"Tsk, okay, my fault." Carlos sat down at the place where Uncle Zhang sat just now, and was silent for two seconds. "What do you mean by the task?"
Due to the background of the grave and the same task, everyone instinctively thinks about competition, frame-up and other directions, but this will undoubtedly expand the uncertainty factors.
But rational people either make secret arrangements to make themselves invincible or eliminate hidden dangers.
Smart people will not leave any trouble for themselves, and it just so happens that Carlos is not stupid either.
"Take the ghost seal, so do you." He glanced at Yu Xing, saw Yu Xing's expression without surprise, leaned back and pulled himself to the same level as Yu Xing, "What do you think, are we competitors?"
If you can come over and ask, it means that Carlos does not want to have a conflict with Yu Xing.
Yu Xing smiled meaningfully: "It depends on you. No matter what the task requirements are, whether we are competitors or companions, it depends on your attitude."
Carlos seemed a little confused, and the answer was something he had not expected.
What is his attitude?
But Yu Xing obviously didn't want to say more, so Carlos was silent and silently thought about the key.
The sound of Shijiu came from the headphones. Shijiu was watching Mr. Li and Lin make calculations. In other words, she seemed to be making trouble.
Until Mr. Li couldn't bear it anymore: "Nineteen, shut up."
Shijiu: “…hum.”
Without the interference of poetry and wine, Mr. Li and Lin soon came to the conclusion.
These two people were originally sitting in the corner. As soon as they stood up, the other people's eyes flashed.
"It's out, you can start." Lin looked faint and looked a little haggard. He glanced around and stopped in the direction of Yu Xing and Carlos for a while, then moved away, "Mr. Li will tell you."
Mr. Li clapped his hands: "Everyone stand up and prepare to set off."
Everyone reorganized their spirits and their eyes were glowing.
"You can move forward!"
The man in glasses walked to Mr. Li: "I'll fight ahead."
Mr. Li waved his hand: "No, this is not what you are good at. I'll do it, you can follow."
Everyone gathered over, Mr. Li squinted his eyes, held the paper that he had just done the calculation, and placed it in front of him to compare it on the spot.
Then, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he stepped on the ground, took a big step forward, and stood firmly on the ground.
Yu Xing's eyes flashed, and he saw that the ground under Mr. Li's feet was no different from other places, but it was safe and did not trigger any mechanism.
"Remember my position and follow me one by one later." After Mr. Li said that, he jumped to a more tricky position.
The man with glasses was very sincere and immediately followed and stood at the first point.
There are seven points in total, and the last point is located at the coffin, which means there are six points distributed around the coffin.
These people are not bad at jumping, even Unika is agile. After watching for a long time, Yu Xing thought that perhaps ordinary people in this world are generally better than those in reality.
After all, even a young man like Zhou Qinghai who is not very experienced in the world can beat a living zombie with a cushion, which can really have a certain attack effect.
He secretly remembered this in his heart, and then landed in the last place. When he stepped on the first place, Mr. Li had already stood safely by the coffin.
The safe area beside the coffin was large, and several people arrived at the place one by one, but no one made any mistakes.
Yu Xing finally arrived, and everyone looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Beidou Formation has come. According to the normal process, we can walk here and go directly to the depths of the tomb palace." Mr. Li pointed to the straight path leading to the middle of the three gates, and his fingers separated, "Walking against the wall, you can enter the left and right sides."
"What if I want to open the coffin?" Unika was given protection to Ashe. She stood on Ashe's left hand, looked at the coffin with her head raised, and she seemed to be unable to help but want to touch it.
An occupational disease in archaeology, when you see cultural relics, you want to use a small brush to brush it.
"No, look at the tail of the coffin." Mr. Li raised his chin, "You go and see what the tail of the coffin is different."
Unika moved carefully and bent over.
The tail of the coffin is narrow, the overall area is not large, and there are very strange patterns carved on it, which are arranged in sequence, a bit like narrative.
"It's very research-worthy!" Unika was very excited.
"The coffin where the guard ghost is located must be carved with some of the life and characteristics of the tomb owner, so that a hidden contract can be completed, so that the guard ghost can look at the tomb door for the tomb owner." Uncle Zhang was also interested in this. He looked it carefully and muttered, "The thing he drew is really special... What is this, a tree?"
Tree?
A nerve in Yu Xing's mind was touched. He quietly squeezed out the man with glasses surrounding him and imprinted the full picture of the pattern into his eyes.
The patterns were basically covered with dust, and Mr. Li had already brushed away the dust. Even so, it still looked a little blurry.
But the general thing can be seen.
The first pattern is that a person is planting a tree, and a woman is sitting on the ground watching the person planting a tree.
The second pattern is that a person kneels in front of the woman, and the woman cuts off the man's hands.
The third pattern is nothing, there is only a big tree with lush branches and leaves and people's heads. There are still arms carved under the tree, as if stretching out from hell, stretching up helplessly and full of desire.
