smuggler

Chapter 234
The two wandering ghosts in the passage, of course, would not be Bai Yang's opponents, as soon as the knife and coin were released, the two ghosts disappeared without a trace.

"Come with me!" Bai Yang waved to us.

Since the three units were connected and connected together, the ninth floor looked very narrow and long. I felt the darkness and turned a few more corners, and finally came to the gate of the temple that Bai Yang said.

Ahead was an open space, a gloomy small temple appeared in front of the view, the gate was locked tightly, and there were two sculptures resembling unicorns in front of the gate.

I gasped, wondering whether this temple existed when the construction party closed the ninth floor, or was it artificially built later?

What is the purpose of building a temple in such a fierce place?
Just thinking about how to enter the temple, the sound of rustling water came from the corridor behind.

I quickly backed away, and Chu Yuan stood in front of us, only to see that the spirits that had been lured away before had all returned, and the leader was the female worker in white.

We have no retreat.

The strange thing is that after those ghosts appeared, they have been standing at the entrance of the corridor, not daring to go forward.

"They dare not approach this temple." Chu said calmly with his usual expression.

I breathed a sigh of relief, the temple was built to suppress these things inside
Bai Yang also ignored those ghosts, looked around, and fixed his eyes on the two unicorns, and after checking it out, he waved to us: "Look, here is a picture of the Eight Diagrams."

I went over and took a look, only to see that on the back of the unicorn on the left, there was a mechanism similar to a gossip diagram. After two glances, I immediately felt something was wrong.

I have seen what a gossip picture looks like, but in the picture in front of me, the entire hexagram image is completely disrupted, and it looks like a gossip, but it is actually completely made up of random pieces.

In front of each hexagram, there is a small iron block that can be pushed up and down, and the scale is marked on it.

Bai Yangwei and I sat in front of the gossip organ, studied it for a while, but couldn't make up our minds.

I have seen what the gossip looks like, but the mystery in it contains all phenomena of the universe. For us, it is no different from reading a book from heaven.

Bai Yang moved the iron block with his fingers, trying to restore the gossip diagram, but he didn't expect that the iron block retracted automatically after just a few pushes.

"No, you have to push the iron blocks in the correct order to open the mechanism. This thing is just like a combination lock." Bai Yang showed a look of embarrassment.

I frowned when I heard the password, and when I was thinking about it, Chu Yuan who was standing next to me suddenly spoke.

"This is the Eight Diagrams array of plum blossoms. The stem is the sky, the ridge is water, the earthquake is thunder, the dui is water, and the kun is the earth. Break down..."

I was taken aback for a moment, and turned to look at Chu Yuan, which made me overjoyed.

But the gossip array he said, I stared at it for a while, I knew these words, but I was completely confused about what Chu Yuan said, and I couldn't understand it at all.

Chu Yuan stared at it for a while, murmured again, and said to me: "correspond to the order I said, Qian San, Kan Yi, Zhen Si, Dui Ba, Kun Er..."

I took a step forward, took a deep breath, and according to his prompt, I carefully moved the iron block according to the position of the hexagram. Sure enough, when all the hexagrams were in place, there was a muffled sound from the rear door.

The door opened slowly under the surprised eyes of both of us.

Inside was a small dark courtyard, and in the main hall opposite, there was dim light, and bursts of women's cries could be heard.

The cry was sinister and piercing, giving people a strong sense of crisis.

"What a heavy Yin Qi!" I frowned. This temple should be used to suppress the ghosts inside, but for a long time, the Yin Qi was rampant inside.

"Whatever it is, it's here, let's go in and have a look." Bai Yang said.

We followed behind, the ground was covered with blue bricks, red walls and blue tiles, full of ancient atmosphere, I even saw a few potted plants, because of the lack of light, the plants inside had withered long ago.

Walking through the small courtyard and coming to the door, Bai Yang was about to barge in, I stopped him and politely knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A female voice suddenly sounded inside.

And the crying in the room stopped immediately, I coughed and said, "We are here to find someone."

There was silence for a while, and a sigh came: "Come in."

Pushing open the door, the space inside is quite spacious, tidy and clean, with some simple old furniture, and some clothes hanging on the rope above.

To my surprise, there is actually a plum tree planted in the middle of the room. The pink and white plum blossoms are in full bloom, and there is an indescribable beauty in it.

In such an extremely dark environment, no plants have the conditions to grow, but this plum blossom tree blooms so beautifully.

There was a woman sitting on the futon in the main room. She was wearing a dark red Tang suit and had braids. She was pretty, but when I saw this woman, I squinted my eyes for the first time, and then I looked at her in surprise.

I have seen this girl!

I was in the elevator before, but I never expected that she was the person I was looking for.

The woman's face was painted with light makeup, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her long eyelashes were covered with tears, and there was a sense of silence between her eyebrows and eyes. Her eyes swept over us one by one, and finally stopped on my face.

"We met again." She said softly, "When I took the elevator just now, I thought you and I were not meant to be together, so I advised you not to come here to die. Unexpectedly, you actually did it."

I quickly nodded politely.The woman glanced outside the door, and her tone turned cold: "Being able to break into this place, I think you must be in the same industry. You are young and have good means. I really admire it."

I felt the murderous intent on the woman, and remembering the ghost fisherman's instructions, Bai Yang next to me hastily explained: "You misunderstood, we are not in the circle, we are all ordinary people."

"Huh?" The woman looked at us with interest: "Who unlocked the gossip mechanism outside the door?"

Chu Yuan followed behind, smiling slightly: "Me."

The woman's eyes were on him, and a deep look inadvertently flashed across her eyes, and then the smile on her face became stronger. She looked him up and down and said, "Unexpectedly, you know the number of plum blossoms."

"The Yishu of Plum Blossoms is a technique not handed down by the Sima family. I really want to know if you have anything to do with the Sima family?" The woman narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at us.

I lowered my head like sitting on pins and needles.

Chu Yuan shook his head: "It's just that I know a thing or two."

The woman glanced at us and said: "People in the world only know that Plum Blossom Yishu has innate gossip, but they don't know that there is a ninth hexagram hidden in it, and the ninth hexagram symbolizes the plum blossom itself. Because it only blooms in the cold winter, sometimes the plum trees are frozen to death, but the branches are still full of spring, so the plum blossom, also called the Bianhua, represents the afterlife of the soul into another world after death."

"I love plum blossoms the most, so I use the innate ninth hexagram of plum blossoms as the password to open the door. We have been practicing here for five years, and outsiders come to visit every year. You are the only ones who can unlock the password and see my true face." people."

Only then did I know that the password to open the door represents the ninth hexagram of Plum Blossom Yishu.
