Chapter 100 Between the Eight Tombs The more Wu Xian thought about it, the more logical it the humble appearance of the old man's corpse had a reasonable explanation, because the evil spirit didn't want to harm anyone. He attached himself to the old man's corpse and followed everyone just because he had to attend the birthday ceremony! Can…… What would a birthday gift that even evil spirits are afraid of look like? There was an additional gloom in Wu Xian's heart. The long night passed slowly. During this period, Wu Xian was awakened by Du E to keep watch. He sat there for an hour with dry eyes, and nothing happened. Whether it was the family members or the newlyweds, everyone was very well behaved. It turns out that many human habits can be compromised if it's dangerous enough. No one made a noise that night, and no one insisted on going out to the bathroom. Even some ladies like Du E had to urinate and defecate in the room with the help of the screen. Although it was a bit dirty and smelly, there was nothing they could do about it. Fortunately, some ladies carried toilet paper in their carry-on bags, otherwise the situation would have been even more embarrassing.
The tense and difficult night passed, and the warm sun gradually rose. This rare tranquility was broken by the broken voice of Aunt He in the checkered pattern! "Ah...ah..." Wu Xian, who was in a light sleep, was awakened. He jumped up from the ground and his eyes widened. The situation before him was completely different from what he had imagined! Last night Wu Xian had already made an estimate of what would happen today. It was nothing more than the young master, master, young lady and other characters of the Liu family who began to appear one after another. These people had their own secrets, and they might be invited to participate in some activities. After understanding the complicated situation of the Liu Mansion, Butler Hu would take them to participate in a very dangerous birthday ceremony... But Wu Xian never expected this. As soon as he opened his eyes. The Liu Mansion is gone! Such a big Liu Mansion is gone! The place where they were was a circular open space with a diameter of about fifteen meters. The open space was covered with traces of black ashes, and occasionally one or two pieces of burnt paper money would float by. There are several slightly larger and relatively neatly shaped tombs around the open space. Outside these large tombs, there is no dense jungle seen last night, but only densely packed and messy small tombs, as well as stone tombstones and wooden spirit tablets in front of the small tombs! Wu Xian's face was as gloomy as water. No wonder he could smell unusual aromas and burnt smells in Liu Mansion last night. It turned out that the aromas were incense burned for the dead, and the burnt smells came from paper money that was burned to ashes! No wonder so many monsters and demons surrounded them as soon as they landed last night. It turns out this place is actually a mass grave! There were twenty-one people in their group and they stayed in this cemetery for one night yesterday! The others also woke up and were horrified when they saw this scene, especially Aunt He who was still screaming. The shrill and piercing sound made them even more panic-stricken. No wonder Aunt He reacted so extreme. When she was a child, she once passed through a cemetery in order to take a shortcut, but for some reason she could not escape.
Walking and walking, no matter which direction he walked, he would eventually return to the center of the cemetery. The sky was dim, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and everything was hazy, as if he had fallen into some kind of dream. Faintly, it seemed as if someone was waving at him. She felt like she had been wandering in the cemetery for days. It was not until he heard a loud shout that he suddenly woke up and walked out of the cemetery. The sun was still in the east at that time, so it was obvious that she had not been wandering in the cemetery for long. Even her family did not notice that she was missing. Later, her family members brought gifts to thank the person who shouted and found out. This man was an old cattle-herding man from the same village. When he was out herding cattle and passed by the cemetery, he found that the young Aunt He had been circling around the grave. He found it very strange and shouted. Unexpectedly, it was this cry that saved Aunt He's life... Aunt He didn't feel anything at the time, but the more she thought about it, the more creepy she felt. It became a psychological shadow for her, and every time she saw a cemetery, she would avoid it from a distance. When I woke up today, I found myself in a cemetery, which is why I kept screaming. …… Wu Xian looked at the messy crowd and frowned. The bad thing about having too many people is that once something unexpected happens, it is difficult to calm down quickly and deal with the situation. He also discovered that the evil spirit that possessed Old Man Wang last night had also disappeared, and no one knew where it was hiding. "Haha, I understand." Wei Dian laughed loudly and walked towards a large grave mound. "One, two, three... eight!" A light flashed in Wu Xian's eyes. He ran to a grave mound and saw a tombstone as tall as a person with two big characters written on it. Temple! There is an open door on the ground between the tombstone and the grave mound. Behind the door is a staircase leading downwards. Looking inside, one can only see dim lights, but cannot see clearly what is inside. Wu Xian then looked at the other tombs one by one. There was a door in front of the tombstones of these tombs, and each tomb had a different name. The eight tombs were: Banquet hall, mourning hall, guest room, clothing store, study, peddler, temple, traveling doctor! Among them, only the door of the temple was open. The doors of the peddler and the traveling doctor were locked. Although the other five doors were not locked, they were tightly closed and could not be opened at all. Wu Xian opened the certificate of ordination for his family again. "Desolate mountains and wilderness, lonely graves in desolate places, a journey of no return, a fatal choice... Leaving the gate of the blessed land is in the eighth room of experience." "It matches, it all matches!" "Wild land, lonely grave, these two words refer to the current environment. This mass grave should be the so-called lonely grave in the desert, but there should be only one lonely grave..." “The journey of no return refers to the experience on the bus.” "These eight graves are the eight rooms. As long as you enter these graves one by one and survive in them, you can find the door to leave this blessed land in the eighth room." "So... what about the fatal choice?" "If I choose the wrong order to enter the tomb, will there be a fatal risk?"
Then Wu Xian began to think again. What is the significance of these grave mounds, and what is their relationship to the Liu Mansion that they saw last night? "Guest room, banquet hall, mourning hall... Maybe the story goes like this: Liu's grandmother was going to celebrate her birthday and invited 'us' to stay in the guest room, but something happened at the birthday banquet that turned it into a funeral." While Wu Xian was thinking. The other family members also roughly understood the situation and confirmed that these eight tombs were the key to leaving the blessed land. Newcomers such as Guan Daorong and Qi Peiye were still confused about the situation due to the lack of information on the certificate. After Hu Yunkuan explained what was written on the certificate to them, they suddenly realized. Until then. Aunt He's face was still ashen, and she hadn't recovered from the shock yet. Soon, under the organization of Hu Yunkuan, everyone had a brief discussion on what to do next, but this time no one reached a consensus. The crowd was divided into four waves. Two of the groups left the circular open space surrounded by eight tombs. The other two groups of people stayed in the open space. (End of this chapter)
