Chapter 5 [Crisis of internal strife]
In the dark stone chamber.
The four surviving people looked at each other speechlessly.
Yang An frowned now.
He originally thought that he was an existence independent of this world and would not be bound by the fate of the ghost world.
Isn’t this the treatment that ordinary time-travelers receive?
As the saying goes - if you jump out of the three realms, you are not in the five elements.
But now it seems that he is superficial.
In the original play, Professor Chen, who survived until the end and even tricked Hu Bayi, actually crashed his head on the stone box and died.
At the same time, the skin on the stone box was knocked off and split into two halves. This time, the prediction came true!
There were only four people left in the stone room.
The atmosphere started to get colder.
"Has someone opened this?"
The fat man next to him was also frightened and hesitant, while Hu Bayi ignored Professor Chen and got up and hurried over to take a look.
“The stone box is just a simple drawing, showing that the stone box was opened by four people to follow the prophecy, that’s right.”
Hu Bayi now believes that this person is a prophet. Judging by his appearance, he must have been dead for more than a thousand years, but he predicted what will happen a thousand years later? This can no longer be said to be a miraculous plan. It should be described as something like a god.
"We often say that it takes five hundred years to know before and five hundred years to know later. This person has known for more than five hundred years..."
On the side, Yang An remained silent.
His heart was beating very fast now, and he felt something was not right.
One thing that is known is that the corpse-scented konjac illusion growing on the cliff above the ghost cave has a great influence.
Even here, it can affect the three protagonists, almost causing them to fight among themselves and kill each other.
Is he still affected by hallucinations now?
Yang An made a bold guess.
Professor Chen... is he dead?
Unfortunately, the look of Yang An thinking in the eyes of Fatty Wang on the side made him feel a little hairy.
The fat man bumped Hu Bayi's arm.
“What’s wrong?”
Hu Bayi was looking down at the inside of the stone box. Inside were two more exquisite stone doors, which were also carved with stone paintings.
But when Hu Bayi saw the content clearly, his scalp went numb, and he was shocked by the fat man's bump.
The fat man said nothing, and quickly gestured towards Yang An, who was in deep thought.
When Hu Bayi looked at it, his heart suddenly shivered.
Standing silently in the darkness, Yang An looked like a ferocious evil god, with a somewhat 'evil' light in his squinted eyes.
"Why do I look at it, Professor Chen is dead... Mr. Yang doesn't care either?"
The fat man said in an almost inaudible voice.
As soon as these words came out.
Hu Bayi swallowed and broke out in cold sweat.
He connected the scene in front of him with the prophecy content of the stone painting he just saw on the second layer of the stone box.
Hu Bayi saw the three stone paintings, which were still simple and clear.
The content is roughly about four people standing in front of a stone box. The other three are simple figures, but the fourth person turns into a one-eyed basilisk, a man-eating evil ghost!
This was clearly a warning to him that there was an evil spirit among the four of them.
Could that be Master Yang?
Is he possessed by an evil spirit?
Hu Bayi was wary, and held the black donkey's hoof tighter in his hand. He whispered to the fat man and told him what he had discovered.
“Be careful, Mr. Yang may be a ghost..”
“Huh?!!”
"Shh! Shut up."
Seeing that the fat man was about to scream, Hu Bayi pinched him, making the fat man sneeze.
“Ah, cut!”
After saying that, Hu Bayi tentatively called Yang An.
“Little Master Yang?”
"Huh?"
Yang An was awakened by the fat man's sneeze and raised his head in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
Yang An was reviewing his memory. Originally, he didn't have much memory of the plot of Ghost Blowing Out the Lantern, although he had read the original work and the adapted TV series.
But if you don’t deliberately remember details, how can you remember them clearly?
But with three times the physical fitness, it means that Yang An's memory has also increased. The various memories in his mind have become clearer and his thinking has become more flexible.
Yang An really felt good about this feeling of unusually clear mind.
When he looked up and saw Hu Bayi and Fatty looking at him strangely, Yang An was shocked.
Holy shit, what happened?
Could it be that there is something dirty behind his back?
Yang An had no idea what ghost Lao Hu was worried about - it was him!
If Yang An knew about it, he would probably be furious.
‘Labour and management worked so hard to carry you out, why do you doubt me? ! ’
But now, Yang An’s body stiffened, which also shocked Lao Hu and Fatty.
They all took a step back.
"What's wrong? What's behind me?"
"."
Harm...
Listening to Yang An's anxious inquiry, Hu Ba It took me a moment to realize that it was a misunderstanding.
"No, nothing, just to see if you feel uncomfortable standing all the time?"
Although Hu Bayi didn't want to target Mr. Yang who saved his life, the prophet had already predicted success. After a while, even if he didn't believe the second prophecy, he couldn't ignore it.
It is painted on it, either the three of them will be killed by the evil ghost, or they will kill the evil ghost and leave this place
Be careful of sailing the ten thousand year ship.
So... Hu Bayi's eyes became dangerous.
"No, but it's true that my head is a little foggy."
Yang An originally wanted to shake his head.
But then I thought about it, I had so many injuries, it was impossible not to feel uncomfortable at all, and then explained.
Just used it to cover up his daze just now.
“That’s okay, do you want to take a look at what’s painted on this stone box?”
Hu Bayi winked at the fat man and asked.
Yang An felt that something was wrong with Lao Hu.
Don’t be fooled by the corpse-scented konjac again.
But he happened to also want to see if the painting on the second layer of the stone box conflicted with the original content he recalled, so he nodded in agreement.
But when he was about to step forward, Yang An's heart skipped a beat.
His sensitive senses gave a warning.
Yang An noticed some malice coming from Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang in front of him.
Malicious? How could it be?
After Yang An quickly glanced at the two of them.
I discovered that they had weapons in their hands at some point!
Hold? Rabbit, are you trying to hit me with a weapon?
‘They have seen the second layer of stone paintings. ’
Yang An instantly thought that in the original work, the corpse-scented konjac had been manipulated on the second stroke, which almost caused the trio to fight.
Is it possible that these two reckless men are suspicious of him?
Blank!
Yang An figured out the key immediately, but the problem now is that these two guys have picked up weapons and are ready to take action. The more he explains, the darker the story becomes.
It will be difficult to solve if it is affected by the illusion again.
How about knocking these two down first?
Before, Yang An might not have thought that he could fight against two people. Did he really think that Hu Bayi, who had participated in the war, and the demon king Kaixuan were so easy to subdue?
But now, everyone is tired, hungry and thirsty after fleeing.
His physical strength has now returned to its peak, but it has tripled!
It is not impossible to bring down the two of them.
Although Hu Bayi and Fatty are powerful, Yang An is not a vegetarian either. He has also practiced martial arts with his grandfather Gu Shao since he was a child.
It's a pity that he didn't know how to be kind to him at that time. His grandfather with a broken arm was the famous Partridge Whistle.
But this is not appropriate either.
Yang An then thought about his [Righteousness] talent. Maybe he could try it to see if he could break the illusion.
But first, Hu Bayi and Fatty, who were frightened, had to be persuaded.
Yang An then pretended not to care and walked forward, as if he was going to see the stone paintings on the stone box, while asking Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, have you seen the stone paintings?"
