Card Room - 269. Chapter 377-378

【Chapter 377, Mysterious Organ】

Xiao Lou walked past the six walls in turn, carefully memorizing the charms on each wall.

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled the drawing methods of the six spells, and then used the voice headset to find another team’s Gui Yuanzhang to confirm: “Senior, have you read the charms in the secret room? Are there some pigs, cows, and sheep? Kind of livestock?”

Gui Yuan Zhang said: “That’s right.”

Xiao Lou went on to say: “There is a wall of charms drawing the door; one wall looks like young men and women dancing in sacrifice; the other wall is a hideous evil spirit; there are also two walls, some with strange black patterns without specific shapes. Some spells are painted bloody?”

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: “Well. The spells of the two secret rooms should be the same, and the mechanism should be the same. Have you thought of the answer?”

The teammates held their breath, waiting for Xiao Lou’s inference in the headset.

These spells look too scary, especially one of the walls is covered with bloody spells. It feels like a cult. Everyone doesn’t understand them very well, and can only hope that the team has the strongest ability to solve puzzles. Xiao Lou.

Hearing the confirmation from Gui Yuan Zhang, Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said the answer after thinking: “This should be the six reincarnations.”

Gui Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: “Six Paths of Reincarnation? Reincarnation in Buddhism?”

Xiao Lou nodded and explained to his teammates: “The teachings of Buddhism emphasize causal reincarnation. After death, people will reincarnate according to the good and evil in their lives, and they may enter the realm of heaven and humanity, the realm of animals, the realm of hungry ghosts, and the realm of asuras. The six ways of reincarnation, Tao and hell. The spells on the six walls of the secret room should be the six ways of reincarnation.”

He walked to the wall where the door is full of paintings: “The side of the door is painted, it is the way of heaven and humanity. People who do a lot of good can reincarnate to heaven and humanity and get blessings, which is the best result; people who have painted men and women dancing, yes Humanity, reincarnated as a human being, merits and demerits are offset, and everything is reset. The wall painted with pigs, cows, and sheep is the animal path; the ghost is painted the hungry ghost path; the black without substance is the Asura path, that is, Chang Said magic way; there are bloody spells, it is the most painful hell way, these red colors are likely to symbolize the blood pool hell in the eighteenth hell.”

Everyone: “…”

After Xiaolou’s analysis and interpretation of the charms that originally seemed chaotic, everyone finally understood their symbolic meaning.

Liu Qiao’s eyes swept across the six walls: “In other words, from the path of heaven and humanity to the path of hell, the torture after reincarnation will become more and more terrifying, and those who do a lot of evil will be thrown into eighteen layers of hell?”

Xiao Lou said: “That’s the way it is said, let me look at the charms on the medicine house again.”

He walked up to the medicine room, leaned over and looked at the six-color charms, and said, “Golden should be the color that symbolizes heaven and humanity in Buddhism, and black symbolizes hell. The order of the six walls and the medicine room The order of the spells is the same; as long as the gold is aimed at the wall of Heaven and Human Dao and the black is aimed at the wall of Hell Dao, the whole medicine room will completely correspond to the six reincarnations of the six walls.”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “Do you want to turn the medicine house?”

Xiao Lou: “Try it.”

The one-meter-high medicine room was quite heavy because of the material. Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan, and Lao Mo stepped forward and held a corner of the medicine room before turning it around with great effort. In the other secret room, Gui Yuanzhang, Shao Qingge and Long Sen also turned the medicine room based on Xiao Lou’s reasoning.

At the moment when the medicine room was in opposition, a loud noise rang in everyone’s ears.

I saw a door appeared on the six walls of the secret room. It was a stone gate that could only allow one person to pass through. The back of the stone gate was the same narrow and long passage. From here, it was impossible to see what was behind the passage.

Ye Qi’s voice came in his ears: “Which way shall we go? Can’t 6 people act separately again, right?”

Xiao Lou frowned-12 people divided into two teams is currently the most scientific and reasonable configuration. If you subdivide the team, your teammates will be in danger. For example, if Ye Qi has a bad sense of direction, they will definitely get lost if they walk alone. Shao Qingge, Long Sen and others do not have the ability to solve problems alone, in case they encounter hunting. The killer may be a dead end.

There must be no further divisions.

Six stone gates, which way to go? This is a multiple choice question from one of six.

The door opened on the wall that symbolizes heaven and humanity sounds the least dangerous; the bloody spell on the wall of hell road is terrifying at first glance. However, the way of heaven and humanity is really an exit, and must the way of hell be a dead end?

Xiao Lou calmed down and thought for a while, and suggested: “Go to the predecessors, you go the way of heaven and humanity, here we go to the way of hell.”

Hearing this, the teammates were shocked at the same time-there are so many ways to choose from humanity, animalism, and hungry ghosts. Why do you want to go to the gate of hell?

Xiao Lou explained: “The yin-yang mirror we just got is a black shadow, which symbolizes the gate of death, and corresponds to the gate of hell road. I guess, if we walk through the road of hell, there will be a way to survive?”

He looked at Yu Hanjiang, and for the first time an uncertain look appeared in his eyes: “Of course, my guess may not be accurate every time. In case everyone encounters danger when walking through the hell road, we… can also use Taohuayuan to transmit. Withdraw it. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Meeting his worried gaze, Yu Hanjiang gently embraced Xiao Lou’s shoulders, and his voice showed a low softness: “It’s okay, even if the door is wrong, no one will blame you. There are so many forks in the maze, of course. Try slowly, it is impossible to find the right exit in one go.”

Lu Jiuchuan also agreed: “Let’s go the way of hell. Can this way of hell still make us go to hell?”

Hearing their conversation, Gui Yuanzhang whispered: “Be careful.”

“Senior, you are also careful.” Xiao Lou felt a little uneasy. He looked at the six walls and said, “Heaven and humanity sounds like a good place. It is safer, but it is not necessarily safe.”

“Well, I know, feel free to contact me if there is any situation.” Gui Yuanzhang released the headset, and the two parties temporarily ended the voice call.

After choosing a different door, from now on, the organs and scenes they encounter will be different.

Lao Mo took the handkerchief given by Liu Qiao and quickly drew pictures with his hands. After passing the first entrance, they formally entered the maze at this time. In the symmetrical east and west tombs, there are 6 exits in the tombs on both sides, which is a total of 12 fork roads.

If you walk past these 12 fork roads, you may encounter more fork roads. It seems that the area of this maze is larger than the rotating maze that Lao Mo often encountered before. Which way will lead to the final exit? no one knows.

As Yu Hanjiang said, walking the maze naturally has to try slowly. How can anyone get out of luck and walk to the exit in one go?

Xiao Lou took out the [Four Directional Arrow] card, pasted a blue arrow on the doorway of the wall that symbolized the way of hell, and made a mark.

Yu Hanjiang walked to the door and looked inside—the passage was pitch-black. With the light of the Ye Mingzhu, you could see that it was a long and narrow cave with a height of less than one meter and seven meters. It is impossible to walk side by side if one person is allowed to pass.

Moreover, with such a narrow passage, Tang Ci’s wheelchair couldn’t get through.

It is impossible for everyone to leave Tang Ci here alone…

Perceiving this, Lu Jiuchuan leaned forward and asked for advice in Tang Ci’s ear: “Xiao Tang, why don’t I carry you on my back?”

Tang Ci said blankly: “You still have injuries on your body. Although my treatment robot can relieve the pain of the wound, your injury has not healed completely. Walking with me on your back, do you want the wound to crack again?”

Lao Mo had to draw a map of the maze as he walked, it was inconvenient to memorize it. Lu Jiuchuan was trying to ask his younger brother Yu Hanjiang to help, but Liu Qiao said: “If Mr. Tang doesn’t mind, I can use the [Thumbella] card to make you smaller.”

Tang Ci remembers her card, which can turn people into the size of a thumb, which is convenient for teammates to carry in their pockets.

The passage is too narrow, and his wheelchair is indeed inconvenient to enter. Moreover, if there are many curves or up and down slopes on the road behind, it is even more difficult for the wheelchair to walk. Tang Ci didn’t hesitate anymore, and nodded calmly: “Thank you.”

Liu Qiao’s fingertips flashed golden light, and the card effect was triggered.

Everyone saw Tang Ci disappear suddenly, and a…thumb-sized Mr. Tang appeared on the wheelchair.

Lu Jiuchuan curiously held the shrunken Tang Ci in his palm, took a closer look before his eyes, and smiled: “This card is a bit interesting. After it gets smaller, it’s much more cute. I will put your wheelchair away first, and you can sit on it. In my pocket.”

Before Tang Ci agreed, Lu Jiuchuan picked up Tang Ci, put it in his chest shirt pocket, and put away the smart wheelchair card.

Tang Ci was stuffed into his pocket, and his head was exposed in Lu Jiuchuan’s pocket with both hands. The expression on his face was still very pale: “Let’s go.”

Lu Jiuchuan looked down at the little man on his chest, jokingly said, “Am I becoming your mount?”

Tang Ci said indifferently, “Why don’t you summon your lion and let it carry me?”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled: “I’ll take you. The lion has no IQ. If you fall and trample to death, you are not dead wronged.”

Tang Ci: “…”

Can you change a pocket?

Lu Jiuchuan gently helped Tang Ci with his fingers, so that Tang Ci lay steadily in his pocket, and walked to the door.

Yu Hanjiang looked at his elder brother: “Brother, let me take the lead. Are you in charge of the queen?”

Lu Jiuchuan had no opinion: “Okay.”

The person who takes the lead will be more dangerous, because once there is a mechanism in front of him, he will be the first one to be recruited. Fortunately, Tang Ci’s mechanical ants can be used to search for roads. If there is any trigger mechanism for trampling on the ground, let the ants try it first.

Tang Ci released the ants, and the two mechanical ants disappeared into the dark corridor in a blink of an eye.

Yu Hanjiang picked up Ye Mingzhu and first bent down and walked into the gate of hell road.

The height of the passage is only 1.7 meters. The two brothers Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan, who are more than 185 meters tall and relatively sturdy, can only move forward slowly with their waists down. Relatively speaking, Xiaolou is relatively thin, and it is much easier to walk through this passage.

Liu Qiao is most comfortable. She is less than 1.7 meters tall and does not need to bend down.

This passage is a bit like a rock cave. There are many uneven stones on the wall, the road is slippery, and there is water from nowhere.

Yu Hanjiang held Ye Mingzhu in his left hand to illuminate the front, and naturally stretched out his right hand, gently holding Xiao Lou’s hand, and whispered: “Be careful, the road here is very slippery.”

The two of them walked in the forefront. In the dark, the teammates did not see Yu Hanjiang’s movements.

Perceiving the familiar warmth from his hands, Xiao Lou’s heart warmed slightly and said, “It’s okay, everyone is going slower.”

The passage is nearly 100 meters, narrow and slippery, and you will fall if you are not careful.

The bumpy stones on the surrounding walls, once knocked to the head, it is possible to hit a concussion, so everyone walked this section of the road very carefully, almost slowly moving out step by step.

After walking for about 5 minutes, Yu Hanjiang’s eyes suddenly opened up.

Stepping on a flat stone slab, the space is obviously much more spacious, and it can accommodate several people walking side by side.

The light here seems to be brighter, the night pearl in everyone’s hands has not increased. The reason for the brighter light is that some light suddenly appeared in the distance, and the blue flames floated around in the air, making the whole environment look strange and gloomy. .

After Lao Mo Gang drew the twisty cave map, he was startled when he saw the picture in front of him: “This is… a ghost fire?”

It really looks like a scene in a ghost movie.

Xiao Lou calmly said: “It may be a visual illusion, or it may be a phosphorous fire. I heard that in ancient tombs, some phosphorous powder often appears, which is easy to float and burn in the air, and it looks like nothingness. Ghost fire.”

Liu Qiao echoed: “Phosphorus is a chemical substance that easily ignites spontaneously. Ancient gods and wizards often used these things to scare people. Don’t worry, these floating’wild fires’ should be the spontaneous combustion of phosphorous powder, which is not attacking. force.”

Hearing the explanations of the two science students, everyone was relieved.

After all, in the dark environment, I suddenly saw a lot of blue flames floating around, which really made people spine hairy. Besides, the road they walked is still the hell road. Who knows if the gatekeepers will arrange some ghosts to scare them?

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly whispered: “There are patterns on the wall.”

He is responsible for taking the lead, so every step he takes, he will use Ye Mingzhu to observe the environment under his feet, above his head and left and right.

When the Ye Mingzhu was photographed on the wall, Yu Hanjiang discovered some strange patterns-unlike the same moiré patterns on the wall tiles before, the patterns this time were very rich, just like a vivid picture scroll.

Xiao Lou walked to him and took a closer look.

The first picture shows a person being tortured in a frying pan. The distorted face and horrified eyes of that person made Xiao Lou’s scalp numb.

Liu Qiao’s voice sounded in his ears: “There are also patterns here.”

Xiao Lou turned his head and looked to the right side of the wall. A person was framed on a hot copper pillar, roasted alive.

After seeing these pictures, Lu Jiuchuan couldn’t help frowning: “These are the punishments of hell, right? It looks very miserable.”

Yu Hanjiang led everyone to move on.

The surrounding walls are full of cruel masochistic pictures–

Someone was thrown into a pool of blood blistering, and the whole body was slowly corroded by the blood water to only a pile of bones…

Some people have their tongues pulled out; others have ten fingers cut off; some people are hung upside down on an iron tree with sharp iron pieces piercing their bodies, waiting for the blood to drain drop by drop…

Someone is struggling to climb the mountain. The mountain is covered with sharp knives. Every step of the climb, the whole body will be cut by the knife…

The more people watched, the scalp became numb.

Isn’t these torture the eighteen layers of hell in myths and legends?

Xiao Lou’s expression was particularly solemn. When he walked through the long passage and read the last painting, he said softly: “The paintings on the mural are all the torture in the hell, the tongue hell, the scissors hell, the iron tree hell, The evil mirror hell…There are also steamers, copper pillars, sword mountains, ice, oil pans, blood ponds, volcanoes, swordsmen, etc. The eighteen hell tortures in myths and legends are all the same.”

Those hideous and terrifying murals and the ghost fires floating around made the hearts of the six feel chilled.

Is this hell road really going right?

Tang Ci’s voice came out of Lu Jiuchuan’s pocket. Because the person was getting smaller, his volume became smaller, but he was very clear in the quiet space. He calmly said, “Are these murals? Is warning us that if we continue to move forward, we will also experience these 18 types of hell torture?”

Everyone’s expressions suddenly changed–Tang Ci’s worries were very likely.

After all, they are walking the way of hell!

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and they nodded tacitly. Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Since you are here, you can’t give up halfway. I want to see what secrets are hidden in this hell road.”

【Chapter 378, Heaven and Humanity】

At the same time, the team led by Gui Yuanzhang entered the gate of “Heaven and Human Dao”.

The scene behind this door surprised everyone.

After passing about 50 meters of dark, narrow passage, they came to a spacious palace.

In a palace the size of a basketball court, there are many bronze “Buddha statues” of various shapes. Surrounding the Buddha statues, a full circle of eternal lights is lit, making the entire hall brightly lit.

There is a cushion in front of each Buddha statue, as well as an incense burner, which is obviously used to kowtow incense.

Everyone took a closer look-I saw that some of these Buddha statues were sitting with a small deer; some were holding prayer beads in their hands; some were holding bowls similar to those used for alms; and some were dragging a tower in their hands, carrying scriptures, and riding. The elephant, the lion, the open-minded, the raised hands, the thoughtful, the ears, the cloth bag, the banana fan, the eyebrows are as long as the beard…

Bronze statues of various shapes, arranged in a ring in the hall, look very lively.

Everyone looked at each other.

The hall is closed and there is no obvious exit. At this time, there are two options. The first is that they encounter a dead end and return to the same way to find another exit; the second is to find the hidden mechanism in the hall and open another channel. The door to the deeper part of the maze.

Obviously, the second possibility is even greater.

Ye Qi scratched his head and looked at these Buddha statues: “These Buddhist statues, I only know the’Guanyin Bodhisattva’ and the’Tathagata Buddha’ in “Journey to the West”. I don’t know these at all…Do you know them?”

“Unfamiliar.” Shao Qingge shrugged. He is an atheist. In reality, he sets up a fund company by himself. He believes that the key to a person’s success lies in his hard work, not God’s blessing, so he never goes to incense when passing by the temple. Like Ye Qi, he only knows the Tathagata and Guanyin in the Journey in the West that he had read in his childhood.

Fortunately, Gui Yuanzhang recognized these bronze statues. He said: “The bronze statue in this hall is an “eighteen arhat” in Buddhism. Like this one with a deer next to it, it is called the sitting deer arhat; this is a contemplative arhat. , This is the ear-picking Arhat, the cloth bag Arhat, the plantain Arhat, the smiling lion Arhat, the crossing river Arhat…”

With 18 arhats in total, Gui Yuanzhang actually called out all the arhats in one breath.

Chu Huaying glanced at him unexpectedly: “Lao Gui, do you still believe in Buddhism?”

Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said, “There are some things, if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don’t believe it, you won’t have it.”

He did not answer directly, but Shao Qingge felt that this old man was obviously a believer in Buddhism. How could ordinary people call out the name of Eighteen Arhats clearly? Moreover, when Xiao Lou mentioned the “Six Paths of Reincarnation” just now, the seniors obviously also knew it.

Shao Qingge looked at Gui Yuanzhang: “Does the senior have a solution to this secret room?”

Gui Yuanzhang whispered: “The’gods’ in Buddhism are Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in descending order. We have only met eighteen Arhats now. I guess, after unlocking this secret room, there will be another secret room next. You may encounter a higher-status bodhisattva or even a Buddha. According to the theory of the six realms of reincarnation, those who can enter the “world of heaven and humanity” are those who have done a lot of good deeds during their lifetime. Therefore, theoretically speaking, this secret room should not be too dangerous. Agency.”

After he said, he took a step forward and knelt on the cushion calmly.

The other teammates didn’t dare to move, all eyes were cast on him. I saw Gui Yuanzhang put his hands together and bowed to the bronze statue in front of him, then got up and knelt down again…

After performing the three-kneeling and three-prayer Buddha ceremony, the bronze statue of Arhat in front of him suddenly turned slightly.

The teammates were overjoyed.

Ye Qi couldn’t help but whispered: “It seems that the mechanism solution of this secret room is to kneel down and worship Buddha?”

Gui Yuanzhang nodded and said: “Pushing mechanism.”

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue looked at each other. The two of them had not been embarrassed to speak. When they heard this, Qu Wanyue asked softly: “Senior, eighteen arhats, do you have to bow down one by one?”

Gui Yuan Zhang said lightly: “It’s probably the case, let’s split up.”

The teammates had no choice but to quickly kneel in front of different Buddha statues, learning the movements of Gui Yuanzhang for three knees and three bows.

There should be an induction mechanism under each mat. After kneeling, the corresponding bronze statue will rotate a little bit…

When the six people quickly finished worshipping the Eighteen Arhats, a golden light flashed in front of them, and at the same time a melodious Sanskrit sound came from their ears, and they could smell a kind of sandalwood that seemed to come from a Buddhist hall.

Eighteen Arhats moved, a door opened behind them, a wide corridor was covered with red carpets, and both sides were full of bright lights.

There is plenty of light here, and you don’t even need the Pearl of Night.

Gui Yuanzhang stood up and said, “Everyone keep going, Xiaoye, you and Professor Xiao will report on our situation.”

Ye Qi nodded, pressed his earphones and said to the other team: “Professor Xiao, how is your progress there? We encountered a place…similar to a Buddhist hall with sculptures of eighteen arhats that unlocked the mechanism. The way is to kneel down and worship the Buddha statue. We have already unlocked the mechanism and are about to continue walking inside.”

After hearing Ye Qi’s voice, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.

The scene before him caused a chill in the backs of six people.

Xiao Lou said in his heart, there are eighteen arhats on your side, but eighteen hells on our side.

In front of him, it was the first layer of the eighteen layers of hell-the tongue-out hell.

The whole wall of the room is covered with tongues of different lengths. This picture is simply tingling!

Xiao Lou just wanted to speak, but found that he couldn’t make any sound.

At the same time, Yu Hanjiang, Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci are in the same situation-everyone opened their mouths and tried to speak, but found that they had completely lost their voice!

Lu Jiuchuan pointed to his mouth with a sullen face, and then to the tongue on the wall. This was obvious-since it is a tongue-out hell, everyone will also be affected by hell punishment and temporarily lose the ability to speak.

Yu Hanjiang nodded towards his brother, and made a “hurry up” gesture.

Ye Qi was still asking in the voice headset: “Professor Xiao, what’s the situation on your side? Can you hear me?”

If there is no response for a long time, the opponent teammate will be worried.

In desperation, Xiao Lou directly summoned Qin Guan and invited Ye Qi to connect with his heart.

Ye Qi, who received the invitation, was taken aback and immediately connected.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lou’s voice came in his mind: “Our side is eighteen hells. Now we have reached the first level of tongue-pulling hell. We can’t speak. Tell senior Gui you to be careful, this maze There are likely to be phantoms everywhere.”

Ye Qi was taken aback, and immediately reported the situation to Gui Yuanzhang: “They are in the hell of tongue-out, everyone can’t speak!”

Gui Yuanzhang frowned and pressed his earphones and said: “There is a real scene of hell…You must be more careful, so as not to distract you, you will not be in contact for the time being. If you are in danger, just withdraw to Peach Blossom Spring.”

As soon as Gui Yuanzhang’s voice fell, Xiao Lou’s waist suddenly tightened.

The next moment, Yu Hanjiang stretched his arms and directly brought Xiao Lou into his arms. At the same time, the light skill card of [Light as a Swallow] was turned on, and Yu Hanjiang flew into the air like a whirlwind.

Almost at the same time, the tongues on the wall suddenly protruded and swept fiercely toward the location Xiao Lou was just now!
