Endless route

Chapter 33 33. The final negotiation [two-in-one]

Zheng Yun resisted his nausea and reached into the sarcophagus. After groping for a long time, he took out two grape-sized mouthballs from the mouths of the two corpses.

There are actually two of these!

He didn't expect it to happen. After he took out the first one, he thought that there might be a treasure there, so he touched the other one, and it turned out that there was a second one.

The two mouthballs are one large and one small. They are made of a kind of white jade, with exquisite ghost patterns hollowed out on the surface.

The ball has three layers, like three jade balls set together. Each layer is hollowed out and engraved with ghost objects. When you turn it in your hand, the two layers inside will rotate at the same time.

This ball is indeed exquisite and exquisite.

Zheng Yun shined a flashlight and saw that the three layers of mouth were overlapping and he couldn't see what was in the deepest part.

The two mouthballs are different in size. It is obvious that they are a pair of yin and yang. I don't know what the difference is.

He wanted to give it a try. The fat Taoist priest said that he could command all the Yin soldiers as long as he put it in his mouth.

But he really couldn't stop talking.

This thing was just taken out of the dead man's mouth, and he didn't even wash it before stuffing it into his mouth.

So he took out his water bottle from his backpack and rinsed the two balls carefully.

After it was almost clean, Zheng Yun took the larger ball into his mouth. There was no reaction at first, but a minute later he felt a sense of near-death, which was stronger than ever before, and nightmares suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a while.

Everything feels constricted.

Zheng Yun had some very weak feelings of wanting to reproduce, but this reproduction had nothing to do with himself, but to develop similar species and assimilate other people.

This thing doesn't seem right.

Zheng Yun spit it out and took the small ball into his mouth again, enduring the feeling of dying again.

After the feeling calmed down again, Zheng Yun found that he had indeed developed a feeling that he could control other things, and he really had the ability to do so.

This is correct.

This is the ghost seal!

Zheng Yun frowned and his face turned pale. After confirming that the small mouth ball was a real ghost seal, a chill ran down his back and he was deeply shocked by this thing.

terrible.

This thing is so weird.

Think about those nearly immortal Yin soldiers and ghost generals. This thing can even change a person's desire to live and pain, and can even control the dead!

If this kind of thing is released to the outside world and someone with ulterior motives gets it, big trouble will definitely happen.

You can actually go down.

Suddenly a female voice sounded from above the head. The voice was very familiar and she spoke English.

Zheng Yun suddenly looked up.

There was some light at the end of the deep hole above the coffin, and a woman was looking at him with her head tilted.

Shine the flashlight upward.

The woman's face was illuminated, and her skin was dazzlingly white. Zheng Yun instantly recognized her face. She was the fortune teller in La Maine Town.

...

Zheng Yun's expression changed.

This woman appeared here at this time, and it seems that the murderer behind the scenes has also appeared.

How did you get down there? I haven't found it after searching for many years, but you found it the first time you came here.

The fortune teller dodged the flashlight, smiled and spoke calmly, as if talking to an old friend.

Where are my teammates?

Zheng Yun quickly judged the situation. He was certain that the disappearance of Liu Ming, Huzi and others must be related to this woman. She knew where Liu Ming and others were.

They are all still alive. You don't have to look at me like this. Their being cursed has nothing to do with me. I am also a victim, just like them. The fortune teller poked his head again.

You want to say you're innocent?

Zheng Yun sneered. The people in La Maine Town could not be innocent. They lured many people into this place and eventually turned into corpses to remain here forever.

Even if it is not an active temptation.

They also concealed the truth.

From the time he and Song Wan entered the town to the time they left, no one mentioned the secrets of this place, and now, this woman appeared here in person.

unambiguous evidence.

They can't be innocent.

I know what you want to say. The curse of La Maine Town has lasted for hundreds of years. Anyone who enters here will be possessed by ghosts and can only live under the light of fire, otherwise they will lose their mind and die.

This curse has existed here since the earliest days of the gold rush. Countless gold diggers died under the curse, but it was completely covered up by the gold rush.

“Even if uranium mines are discovered and mined on a large scale, the curse has not dissipated. Miners often disappear quietly, and it is contagious and will lure other miners to disappear together. They have tried their best to deal with the miners and completely shut down the mines.

The town of La Maine has always been the center of the curse, from the surviving gold seekers, to the surviving miners, to the later travelers and explorers.

Everyone who enters the town is doomed.

Because people are selfish, the town of La Maine needs someone to lift the curse, but no one knows who this person is, so they can only keep luring new people in.

Everyone in the town acquiesces to this. Four years ago, they thought I could do it, so they tricked me into the town of La Maine. And last night, I thought you could do it.

I have never brought anyone here in the past four years. You have found Guixi. Just go to La Maine Town and ask.

The fortune teller spoke calmly.

Zheng Yun was silent. He was very defensive about this fortune teller and basically didn't believe her, but she was indeed very young and the logic of her words was sound.

The West is very secretive about things like 'curses', and there is no systematic development and recording like the ancient East. Mysterious events are spread on a small scale.

The town of La Maine is a typical Western mysterious town. A group of people were cursed, but no one said a word, and they even secretly established rules to harm others.

It's like having an infectious disease and infecting other people, and then hoping that the next patient can invent a special medicine to save themselves. What kind of bastard logic is this?

But it's a pity.

They really think so. Looking at the mysterious legends in the West, there are countless such things.

So what exactly are you trying to say?

Zheng Yun just wanted to rescue his teammates and didn't want to hear what she said. He didn't care whether she was innocent or not. If she wanted to blackmail her, she could ask for a price.

At this point, Zheng Yun was confident.

She probably didn't know that she put Guixi into her mouth as soon as she got it, and when she saw her, she had a feeling that could affect her behavior.

Now you just need to stabilize her and let her lead you to find your teammates. She won't be needed anymore.

You can be hostile to the residents of La Maine Town. I was also hostile when I was deceived, but in fact you Ancient Orientals are not innocent. Everything here was made by you Ancient Orientals.

The fortune teller said softly.

Zheng Yun said nothing.

There are too many things involved in the matter of Hades Pavilion, and the time span is as long as hundreds of years. From the early Ming Dynasty to today, it has gone through several spans, one layer after another without stopping.

There were too many people involved, from the east to the west, from the Ming Dynasty sea guards to the gold diggers, from the miners to the explorers, and they committed too many crimes.

The reason lies in the ancient East. A man named Zhang, who was an expert from unknown sources, actually built a tomb in this place.

Later, a man named Wang came and dug up the tomb. After discovering that there were Yin soldiers here, he actually built the Hades Pavilion to start a rebellion.

They are not ordinary people.

But today, this Zhang Gaoren is right in front of him. He is now too dead to die, and that Wang family has also been executed by the imperial court.

It is true that every wrongdoer has his own debtor.

But people have been dead for hundreds of years, and their bones are lying here. Who can settle this general ledger?

Since there is no need to calculate the general ledger.

Then it can only be considered as a close calculation.

This account will be settled on everyone in La Maine Town. From now until the end, it will be settled one by one. Whoever was deceived into coming here will be settled.

Maybe the fortune-teller isn't blamed in the end, but the others are not innocent.

Then what? What's the purpose of telling me this? Zheng Yun's tone was still wary.

I know you have obtained the Ghost Seal. This is obvious. I can directly feel that as long as you drive the Ghost Seal, everyone including me will die.

I hope we can cooperate. I know that there are two ghost seals, one is the king, and the other is the queen. The queen is responsible for making the Yin soldiers, and the king is responsible for commanding them.

The fortune teller suddenly changed his language and spoke Chinese, with a smooth accent and no accent at all.

These contents come from the secret room of the attic and were written by the owner of the attic. However, what he wrote cannot be compared with reality, such as the extra chains on the sarcophagus and the true location of the ghost seal.

This place has been tampered with by future generations. If you can go in, it means that you have the information to tamper with it, but you may not know the true use of Guixi.

I inherited the usage.

We can cooperate. You give me the ghost seal that belongs to the queen, and I will lift the curse in our bodies, set us free, and then return it to you.

Zheng Yun's expression softened slightly.

What this woman said was indeed true. He had just discovered the difference between the two mouthballs.

Neither the picture of the Immortal Palace nor the fat Taoist priest in the secret place mentioned this matter.

It should be because of different positions.

The Underworld Pavilion is an extremely evil place. The imperial court sent troops to destroy it, and the records on the sea charts are also on the opposite side. Even if you know some of the uses of the Ghost Seal, it is impossible to record it in detail to prevent future generations from seizing the Ghost Seal and causing chaos.

The attic owner is different.

He just wanted to rebel, so he must have carefully studied Guixi and fully understood all its abilities before he could build this place and defeat the court several times.

Zheng Yun could understand her motives, but no matter what, he could not hand over Guixi. This thing was too dangerous and must not be handed over to outsiders.

I can feel your suspicion, but you are worrying too much. This seal can only be used around here. Otherwise, why didn't the owner of the attic take it away?

The fortune teller explained aloud.

What she said made sense. Judging from the results, not only did the owner of the attic not take it away, but even the imperial court that destroyed this place didn't take it away either.

The owner of the attic has tried many times. Only people who come here can be controlled by the Hou Xi. It is useless to go out with the Hou Xi. That's why he stayed here to gather the people, and even deliberately released news of the rebellion to attract Ming Ming. The empire comes to clean up.

But Wang Xi is different. Wang Xi can command and control the Yin soldiers inspired by Hou Xi from the outside. This is also the reason why the owner of the attic dares to rebel. I have told you this secret, don't you still believe it?

The fortune teller's voice sounded again.

Zheng Yun looked thoughtful. He had never heard of this statement, but he couldn't find any logical problems. This woman didn't seem to be lying.

You are here to see Demona. You may be wondering why she almost died. That's because Guixi has no owner. It will instinctively hoard and make people go to the depths of the abandoned mine or the attic to die.

No one can stop Guixi.

The people in La Maine know how to use fire to control it, but occasionally people still disappear. Only by controlling the ghost seal can we avoid tragedy.

The fortune teller continued to explain. After saying this, she added: If you still don't believe it, then we can come out and talk again.

Why didn't you tell me how to use it and then let me release the control? Zheng Yun asked.

The woman's last words were still true. He had experienced it himself. The nightmare indeed led him to the underground corpse lake and the Hades Pavilion.

Everything this woman said was basically faultless, but after experiencing so many things, Zheng Yun still couldn't believe her.

How can I trust you? I don't know if you can do it. If we're not careful, we will die.

The fortune teller shook her head, this was her bottom line.

But you have no choice. Since I can find this place, I also have a way to obtain the usage of Ghost Seal. You should be able to think of and understand this.

Zheng Yun spoke calmly.

At the same time, he recited silently in his heart:

'laugh. ’

After waiting for a while, the fortune teller showed a happy expression, which was very clear in the flashlight light.

Are you making me laugh? the fortune teller said in surprise. She could sense Zheng Yun's instructions from her body.

Zheng Yun proved with actual actions that the Ghost Seal was under his control. At the same time, he broke into cold sweat again, frightened by this terrifying effect.
