Chapter 45: 49 Amusement park rules and regulations (13) in addition to the rules……
Even though he had experienced too many bloody corpses before, seen too many mutated teammates, and even seen himself as a "ghost", Ye Xi was still shivering from this scene, clearly feeling the fine hairs on his back prickling up one by one.
... The topic of terror is still not suitable for her.
Diep Tich swallowed his saliva. Although he had the heart to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people, he really did not have the courage to go to that grave himself and shamelessly invited everyone: "Let's go take a look?"
"En..." Wang Xinran was not so afraid of ghosts, so her reason was even more on the line, looking at the two forks in the road, "Two paths, let's split into groups to check, that way the progress will be faster. I, Miss Li, and Shen Tao will go get the incense burner on the left, you guys go first to the right to see if there's anything else?"
"Go." Experienced in the world, Lan Guiyi was not afraid of ghosts, and agreed very decisively. Liu Yuhang and Cao Weizhuang also nodded, more daring than Ye Xi. Jiang Yu heard Wang Xinran's method of dividing the group and was a bit confused. At first, she wanted to follow Ye Xi. Wang Xinran went, because their two big shots made her feel at ease. Thinking back, she felt that with Liu Yuhang and Cao Weizhuang, the male yang energy would increase, and it would be more secure.
In the end, Jiang Du finally accepted Wang Xinran's division into groups. Ye Xi and the others wanted to go to the tomb on the left side of the entrance, while Jiang Du headed to the right side.
The three of Ye Xi were worried and cautious as they walked to the tomb first. Their senses were extremely sharp. The slightest bit of wind or grass would cause goosebumps. Everyone was ready to jump out at any moment.
But until they reached the tombstone, nothing happened. In front of them, except for the green light on one side of the tomb creating an eerie atmosphere, there was nothing unusual.
The three of them thus relaxed a bit, Shen Tao looked at the seven incense burners: "The rules describe that when encountering various problems, we need to light incense, should we take these incense burners and carry them with us?"
Diep Tich nodded: "Probably."
It is definitely not possible to run back to catch it at the right time, the image is too emotional. Especially when encountering danger caused by the red-clothed ghost, even if they want to run back to get the incense burner, the red-clothed ghost will not necessarily give them the chance.
Shen Tao therefore stepped forward and took the incense burner. As soon as he lifted it up, a "bang" sound rang out in his ear. Shen Tao only felt a flash of blue light before his eyes. When he raised his head and saw it, he was so scared that he fell to his knees: "Oh my god!"
A blue-robed demon appeared before him.
However, Shen Tao's reaction was only because he was scared by its appearance. Its actual effect was not scary, it was even a bit... cute.
It is also not the usual concept of this kind of humanoid ghost, the image is roughly closer to the "Soul" in the imagination of the rich, is a large group with a nose and eyes of mist.
Shen Tao sat on the ground with his eyes and mouth wide open, stunned for a few seconds, then said hoarsely: "This Ngoan Y Nhi grew up like Aladdin's genie lamp..."
It's just that the genie lamp itself is blue, but its original body is white, just wearing blue clothes.
But before he could finish speaking, the blue-clothed ghost in front of him suddenly bared its teeth and glaring eyes as it pounced in front of him. It seemed to be very angry, letting out a loud cry, but just as it rushed in front of Shen Tao, it let out a screech... Just like that, it disappeared.
"???" Shen Tao was completely stunned.
Wang Xinran smiled complicatedly and said: "Did you say it was like that lamp, it was angry?"
Tham Dao: "Such a big temper..."
"Wa wa wa wa!" The blue-clothed ghost suddenly "reformed" again, right at the position it had just disappeared from, so close that its noses could almost touch each other.
"Ah ah ah ——" Shen Tao was once again shocked and his legs continuously retreated backwards.
"Bang" a sound, the blue clothed ghost was gone.
Shen Tao gasped: "It it it... It seems really angry!"
Vuong Tam Nhiem was stunned: "When you're angry, you're angry. How come it's there sometimes and it's not..."
Ye Xi thought for a moment: "This is probably the rule that says the blue-robed ghost is really 'weak'?" As he spoke, he opened the incense stick props box in his hand, "Try a blue incense stick and see?"
The rules say that the incense burner can strengthen the blue-robed ghost, and also has a chance of attracting more blue-robed ghosts to appear.
According to conventional logic, actively "enhancing" a ghost's energy obviously belongs to the second level of behavior. Ye Xi thought that out of desperation, he would try it out, because he felt that in this mission, there might be some clues that he wanted to harvest from the ghost's soul.
The logic is very simple —— if "He" just wants to use ghost souls to take human heads, then this hypothesis is actually the easiest to establish, why bother giving the ghosts so many categories? Directly sending all the ghosts to the opposing human camp is the most common way to deal with it in horror movies.
So if you want to try, of course start from the most ordinary blue-clothed ghost. The rule for blue-clothed ghost is described as "Weakened", even if it can really evolve, it will probably have to first turn into a "White-clothed Ghost", much stronger than directly making a red-clothed ghost come out.
Diep Tich therefore took out the appropriate incense, and from the box took out a matchbox, lit the incense stick with the matchstick, then squatted down from the tombstone and lit an incense burner.
"Bang." At this moment, the blue-clothed ghost changed into a new one beside Ye Xi, quacking and muttering nonstop, as if he was scolding fiercely.
But after experiencing it twice before, Ye Xi had already seen clearly what it looked like, and also understood that it had no killing power at all. He turned his head to glance at it indifferently, then shifted his attention back to the incense vine in his hand.
"..." The blue-clothed ghost was stunned for a moment, seemingly feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn't scold him anymore, but instead angrily floated to the side.
Diep Tich firmly inserted the incense stick into the incense burner. After inserting it firmly, the flame at the top of the incense stick seemed to be stimulated by something. The fire element shone exceptionally brightly for a moment, then slowly returned to normal.
The scent that permeated the air gradually filled the air, the angry blue-clothed ghost's figure stopped and suddenly turned his head.
Its eyes stopped on the fragrant vine, seemingly restrained and timid for a moment, but still couldn't help but rush over, sucking fiercely on the fragrant vine.
At the moment it inhaled, the incense burning speed would obviously become faster. After a few breaths, the originally half-transparent white blue ghost robe clearly increased in color. From the visual effect, it should not dissipate so easily.
The incense burned down a third, the blue-clothed ghost spoke the first sentence: "What are you doing here?"
These words were directed towards Diep Tich, the words carried a bit of a smile, as if he had a good impression of Diep Tich.
Diep Tich did not answer directly, he glanced at the grave and asked: "May I ask if this is your grave?"
"Ah, that's right." The blue-clothed ghost quickly circled the tombstone, his figure soft like a ball of cotton, "This is my name."
Diep Tich noticed that the tombstone was engraved with "Tomb of Trinh Anh Quang".
The blue-clothed ghost said again: "But sometimes I feel like this isn't my grave, how can I say it..." It took out a hand from its soft body, elbow resting on its own tombstone, hand supporting its cheek, "I always feel like my grave is bigger than this one, there are also many burials, and it's not just a coffin. There's only a coffin here, but... Ah... This is actually my name!"
It has a long, rhythmic, tongue-in-cheek tone and also has a special imported cartoon flavor that is translated and produced for the film.
"However, this doesn't say anything. I heard that when someone dies a long time ago, their memories will be vague. I probably won't have a big grave, but I'm just looking forward to having one."
Waiting for a big grave?
Shen Tao took this news, but he was a little wiser and didn't dare let the blue-clothed ghost hear him again. He leaned closer to Ye Xi and asked in a low voice, "Could it be that there's a branch mission that requires him to exchange a large tomb?"
"... Move the grave?" Diep Tich was speechless. Although he had not seen this conjecture face to face, he subjectively thought that it should not be so.
Moving the grave is too big a matter, if there is such a branch mission, then they still have to find every way to pass the official execution to complete the main incense offering, how long will it take?
This place is not like Tinh Nguyet apartment with strange rules of food, drink and bed, it is just a garden project, it is really not suitable to put them on a contract for a day or two.
She then asked the blue-clothed ghost: "May I ask if this incense burner is also you?"
The blue-clothed ghost was still leaning against his own tombstone. Hearing her words, he lowered his head and looked at her, thinking, and said, "Probably."
"Can we take it away?" Diep Tich was very polite.
The blue-clothed ghost raised his eyelids: "Let me think about it, um..." Then he extended a finger, "A blue incense stick in exchange for an incense burner."
"...?" Diep Tich was dumbfounded.
She calmly discussed with the blue-clothed demon that she didn't want it to suddenly attack and injure anyone, but she didn't expect that the blue-clothed demon would actually plan to "charge" them.
She lowered her head to look, she had just burned one branch of blue incense, now there were two branches left. Tham Dao and Vuong Tam Nhiem each had three branches, adding up to a total of eight branches.
So the price of seven branches they went bankrupt was enough to get out, but after finishing the sale, the three of them only had one branch of blue fragrance left, in case they still wanted to communicate with the blue ghost later, it would be very difficult to do.
Diep Tich thus stood up and said to the blue-clothed ghost: "Wait a moment, we still have other friends here, I will go with them to discuss a bit."
Diệp Tịch thought that if there was one incense burner for each person, then each person would give out one incense stick! As for asking for incense first instead of giving it out first, it was because she felt that it was more secure that way.
The entire cemetery looked from the main gate direction, there were only two forks that could be taken, but in fact, there were several small paths that crossed the cemetery in the middle, two forks in a row. Because the tombstones were all similar to dwarfs, Ye Xi didn't have to spend any effort to see his teammates who were searching for clues over there. He had recently passed through the small path and talked to them about things.
She originally thought that it would be easy for them to get to 4 incense sticks. After traveling together, she felt that her teammates were all very simple and would not scheme against her incense sticks on this kind of problem. In reality, no one really wanted to scheme against her incense sticks, but when the businessman Lan Guiyi heard her quote, her eyes immediately widened, and her voice became sharp: "We only have 3 branches of blue incense sticks alone, and now that we have just entered the door, he already wants to monopolize 7 branches? Isn't that embarrassing?"
"..." Ye Xi thought that it was embarrassing to say that my aunt couldn't argue with a ghost, but Lan Guiyi had already grabbed her wrist and angrily walked towards the grave: "Little girl, don't you usually buy things without saying a price? This kind of behavior is not good! It's not that I don't let people make money, but that person is tricking you, you should know that!"
?!
What, want to follow the ghost to bargain?!
Diep Tich's pupils shook.
"No no, auntie, you wait..." She panicked and lost her composure, wanting to hold onto Lan Guiyi, but facing the battle of beheading, Lan Guiyi was like a war god clinging to her, even walking carried a fierce aura.
Three steps also took two steps to kill the blue-clothed ghost in front, Lam Que Nghi glanced at it: "You want an incense burner?"
Faced with the unreasonable price, she obviously forgot about the ghost thing.
"That's right." The blue-clothed ghost still didn't know what he was about to face, and still carelessly leaned against the tombstone.
Lam Que Nghi held out a finger: "I want one incense stick and seven incense burners."
Diep Tich: "???"
Wang Xinran & Shen Tao: "???"
One sentence, three people immediately stunned.
Even the devil was stunned.
The blue-clothed devil hesitated for at least six or seven seconds: "Say it again???"
Lam Guiyi let go: "Look at this place you are in, how many people can you have in a day? You can't normally eat any incense, right? If we don't give you this branch, you won't have anything, why don't you give it to us, you can still have a branch."
The ghost adjusted his mentality: "If I don't give it to you, you won't be able to use it."
"Ah." Lan Guiyi forced out a cold smile from between her teeth, "We changed the incense burner at the grave, and summoned another blue-clothed ghost. Isn't there also an incense burner?"
The blue-clothed ghost disdained: "Then you try it." After speaking, he stood up from the tombstone, then retreated, disappearing from the tomb.
Just as Ye Xi was thinking of going forward to say something nice and coax the blue-clothed ghost out and then pay him to get the porridge, Lan Guiyi patted the grave and sat down on the grave.
"!!!" Ye Xi's pupils shook, again.
Lam Guiyi glanced at the bottom of the grave, slowly lecturing: "You said you are dead, why compare yourself to this mirror? That incense burner is just an external object, it is completely useless to you. What is useful? It is incense, so why bother?"
Diệp Tịch's inner thoughts: Is there a possibility that it is so fussy just to eat more incense?
She felt that Lam Que Nghi's idea of cutting prices was not good, but then she saw Lam Que Nghi start to exaggerate her move.
Lam Que Nghi: "The so-called failed sale is still humane, you said you did not agree to this price, you said it properly, why did you run away and return without saying anything?"
This is a vicious circle of kidnapping.
"Again, my words just now were simple and straightforward, but are you wrong? We came to see on the road, the tourists were all with us, today we can also burn incense for you. You came back without even bringing a bag, we will leave at all costs, what good is that to you?"
This is a fair round.
"Moreover, I will tell you the truth, it is not that we do not want to give you more incense. But we do not have much incense in hand, and we might encounter other dangers later on——if we have finished giving all the incense here, and later on we encounter trouble and die, then what use is there for the incense burner? Tell me, is this the truth? No matter if you are a human or a ghost, existence is not easy, let's help each other a little."
This is a carpet sale.
"So ah, we really don't want to make things difficult for you, you also don't make things difficult for us. You generously give us the incense burner, we also properly give you another stick of incense, isn't that good?"
This is a step by step tutorial.
"Moreover, don't you forget." Lan Guiyi raised her hand and pointed at Ye Xi, "Didn't that girl just say two words before offering you a stick of incense? Didn't you say anything back then? She was just being kind? Can't you just bully her because she's a beautiful and kind person?"
This is another cycle of moral kidnapping.
Lan Guiyi finished speaking, then patted the child's head like an elder, and then patted the two graves: "If not, a stick of incense, you first give us the incense burner, we will try our best to survive. If in the end there is still any blue incense left, no matter how much, it will all be yours. In that way, on the one hand, we can keep our lives, on the other hand, the possibility of you getting it in the end is even greater than the seven branches!"
Diep Tich: Hey hey hey, is this a bet? Is it still purely wishful thinking?
Not important.
The important thing is that the blue-robed ghost from the tomb came out again: "You're so annoying that you're dead!!!"
From its feelings it is difficult to judge whether it is annoying or wavering, but it is stronger than avoiding.
Lam Que Nghi still sat on the grave with the four bowls and bowls, turned her face away and raised her head: "Really, if I could give you all the colors and fragrances, I would wish to give you all the colors and fragrances. But now you ask us to risk our lives to give you seven branches, this is not appropriate."
The blue-robed ghost was clearly just a mass of fog, but Ye Xi felt that he was currently gnashing his teeth in anger: "Three branches! Give me three branches and it's a deal!"
"One finger." Lam Que Nghi stretched out a finger, not loosening it at all.
Blue-clothed demon: "Two! Can't have more!"
"I just gave you one, if I didn't give it to you, you wouldn't have had the strength to bargain with us like this. We'll just take all seven incense burners away, what can you do?"
This wave belongs to the murderous heart, but also really great truth.
Ye Xi just now didn't say a word and lit the incense, mainly because he just entered the haunted house and still didn't understand everything, so he wanted to first light the incense on the gentlest blue-robed ghost to see what would happen, it belonged to a kind of routine test step. But now that he analyzed carefully, this ghost was only able to touch the tombstone and other things after eating a stick of incense, if they had directly carried the incense burner away from the beginning, the most it could do was to go along with them, occasionally popping out to scare them a bit or harassing them, there was basically no way to stop them from taking the incense burner away.
But after hearing these words, the blue-clothed devil clearly hesitated. Ye Xi thought that this was the best time to strike while the iron was hot, but he saw Lan Guiyi squint her eyes at the blue-clothed devil, then stand up, and dust off her pants: "Really not going to do it? Really not going to do it then let it be. After all, there are so many principles, I will be honest with myself and not lie to you, if you don't believe me then there is no other way."
This trick, soft bamboo ties tightly.
Dusting off her pants, Lam Que Nghi lifted her leg to leave, but before she could even take her first step, she was held tightly by the blue-clothed ghost.
His mouth became bold and urgent: "Hanh, Hanh, Hanh, give me another one, take all the incense burners!"
Based on, is it really true?!
Ye Xi's heart rushed straight to Lan Guiyi clapping her hands, opening the box she had to take out another blue incense stick, but she didn't expect Lan Guiyi to take an inch and then take a foot: "Offering incense requires an incense burner, do we still have to wait here for it to burn out before we can leave?"
"No need, no need!" The blue-clothed ghost was already in a state where he didn't even want to say a word to her. He headed back to the grave, and two seconds later, he took out an incense burner. "The incense is still stuck in that incense burner just now. Take this one away!"
Diep Tich looked at the eighth incense burner it held, then looked at the seven incense burners on the ground, each with the same pattern and color.
You and Rule of Law Realm do wholesale incense burners, right???
The deal was successful, Lam Que Nghi generously used her own box of blue incense to pay, and the tycoon returned home with seven incense burners in his arms.
On the other side, Liu Yu Hang and the others also discovered something.
First, Liu Yu Hang discovered the talisman, the talisman was stuck on the tombstone, but some tombstones had it, some didn't, temporarily not knowing what the pattern was.
Jiang Du found coins and firecrackers scattered around a grave. It looked like someone had just performed a ritual here not long ago.
Cao Wei Zhuang happened to see a hole in a tomb covered by a tombstone. He initially thought of stealing a hole, but he mustered up the courage to reach out and investigate, only to discover that the hole was really shallow, and no passage had been formed. A porcelain urn was placed in the hole, and he took it out, but out of his fear of the elemental gods and monsters, he did not dare to open it carelessly.
The seven people gathered together again, found an empty piece of land and sat down. Ye Xi first distributed the incense burners to everyone, then gathered the existing clues together and attempted to analyze them.
The first thing to analyze is of course the rules.
The two rules before "You want to go to the altar to complete the sacrifice, the sacrifice requires the use of 3 incense of the same color" and "There are many ghosts entering the altar", are just simple explanations, there will be no problem, the only suspicious point is that the "3 incense of the same color" does not know what color it should be.
The third thing is that "Green land is safe land, you can rest assured to stop", the truth is temporarily unknown, they have not seen the "Green land" yet, so there is no hurry to verify it.
The fourth point about the blue-robed ghost that Ye Xi just described has basically been verified. The blue-robed ghost is indeed gentle and has no killing power. The blue-colored incense vine can also indeed ward off its weakened state.
The back 5 to 10 were all unknown. Not only were they unable to judge the truth from the falsehood, they had not even seen a single white-clothed, red-clothed, or yellow-clothed ghost.
After thinking carefully for a while, Ye Xi silently started using [Distinguishing Dogs (Level 2)], passively conducting random verification mechanism according to the activation, the German Shepherd on the paper ran a lap, then squatted down to the eighth final rule.
Rule 8 has only one sentence: The cardinal demon fears the yellow-robed demon.
These words were corrected with red and white stripes.
This is Diep Tich's surprise.
She originally thought that the 7th and 9th rules had a conflict, so one of them must be fake. As for the 8th rule, it looked like it was just a simple statement, and it didn't conflict with the other rules at all, so she had absolutely no doubt that there might be a problem with this rule.
Now this rule is marked as fake, so can the 9th rule that says "Yellow-robed demons can drive away red-robed demons" also be speculated as fake?
If it is true, then why is the "Red-clothed Demon Fearful of the Yellow-clothed Demon" narrative wrong? If it is false... Then can the seventh incense to suppress the red-clothed demon be reversed for real?
The foggy situation made Ye Xi's heart sink once again, the joy he felt watching the beheading scene just now vanished into thin air.
Wang Xinran saw Ye Xi's changing expression and asked casually, "Miss Li, do you think there is a problem with any of the internal rules?"
Diep Tich was silent, the first time using a prop, his mind was even more confused, not knowing how to respond.
After a long silence, Ye Xi simply cleared up the disturbance brought by the props, and based on her own logic, made a judgment: "I feel that the seventh thing is still questionable." As she spoke, she quickly sorted out her thoughts in her mind, "According to the experiment on the blue-robed ghost just now, the blue incense can strengthen the blue-robed ghost. Wouldn't the red incense also be able to strengthen the red-robed ghost? If so, wouldn't the dangerous situation become even more dangerous?"
"Ah... Really." Cao Wei Zhuang slapped his thigh.
He thought it was relatively simple, just now he saw this rule did not read out the direct contradiction point and believed it.
Shen Tao: "So that means once we encounter a red-clothed ghost, we can only summon a yellow-clothed ghost to drive it away?" He paused and asked, "But is the ninth point true… They are all ghosts, but don't come together to deal with us."
Diep Tich was silent for a moment: "I'm not very clear either."
It is known that the 8th article is a false rumor to the 9th article, and that the 8th article is fake. But even if the 8th article is ignored, the 9th article seems to be able to be established alone, because the 8th article is too hasty in directly judging that the 9th article is also fake.
In order to avoid misleading her teammates, she could only use vague words to explain the results of the props' verification: "But I feel that the specialist's suggestion that 'red-clothed ghost fears yellow-clothed ghost' is very strange. It doesn't rule out that there is a pit here. It's better to be careful."
Also the rule has a blind spot.
Blue-clothed ghosts will not pose a danger to humans, white-clothed ghosts will most likely be able to escape if they pose a danger, red-clothed ghosts are restrained by yellow-clothed ghosts...
But what is the yellow-clothed demon afraid of? Who can suppress it after it appears?
This is even more cruel than the red-clothed devil, can it be chewed by a tourist until it's crispy in one bite?:,,.
