Chapter 952 Faded Lantern

The first seven?

In the dim lobby in the ancient house, everyone looked at the body of the skinny old man sitting on the black Grand Master's chair, and their faces changed immediately as Zhou Deng said.

According to folk rumors, after a person dies, he will be resurrected for seven days, and it is called the first seven.

On this day, the dead will turn into a ghost and revisit it again, and finally see your relatives again, and then return to the underworld. In addition, there is another saying: If the dead are resentful, then the first seventh day will turn into a ghost and seek life.

The post office's letter requires us to stay here for seven days. If this old man died today, then we will just wait until the first seventh day of the old man.

The eagle thought of some bad things and his face looked a little gloomy.

The first seven resurrection?It's just an unfounded statement. In my opinion, what really happens is that the old man's corpse resurrects seven days after death. Although it's just a normal corpse now, it may turn into an extremely terrifying evil spirit once it revives. If you stay here for seven days, you will definitely die miserably.

A ghost-controlling man spoke among the crowd.

That's right. Although I don't know why an old man's body appeared here that had just died, in my opinion, this old man is probably a ghost controller. He has just died and the evil ghost has not recovered yet, but there will definitely be problems in a few days. I suggest throwing this body away, even if the evil ghost is revived, it will not affect us.

Fan Xing said: It’s a bit rash to throw it away, and it’s safer to use a coffin to nail it to death.

He said this to Yang Jian, hoping that he would use the nail in the coffin.

As long as Yang Jian has no coffin nails, his strength will be greatly reduced. Even if he is powerful, there will be no room for resistance at all.

This is a disguised weakening.

Li Yang immediately stared at him and said: Do we want us to use coffin nails?Don’t think I don’t know what you are doing. At worst, no one cares about this corpse. Let’s see which of us will survive to the end after the resurrection of the evil spirit.

Human nature is ugly.

Once Yang Jian selflessly left the coffin nail on the corpse, these people would be ready to move next.

Li Yang, don’t be angry, I am also thinking about everyone’s sake. I admire Team Yang very much. But at this time, we have no confidence in facing unknown dangers, so we can only ask Team Yang for help. Team Yang, you say one thing, if you are willing to use coffin nails to eliminate the hidden dangers here, then no matter what you ask us to do next, we are willing to agree. What do you think?

Fan Xing said very seriously and sincerely.

Yes, I am still convinced of the name of Yang Jian in Ghost Eyes. As long as Team Yang is willing to set an example, we will listen to your instructions from Team Yang from now on.

It’s not impossible to work hard for Team Yang, but Team Yang needs to show some skills.

The others immediately responded.

It seemed to be vaguely united, wanting Yang Jian to leave a coffin nail.

Fan Xing, who was standing beside him, seemed to be thinking about everyone wholeheartedly, and had no selfishness at all.

But who can become a ghost driver and live to this day is a simple person? In order to survive, it is normal to have two faces and three swords.

I believe they, Yang Jian has long died many times.

Yang Jian's expression moved. He turned slightly with his long spear with a cracked hair, glanced at Fan Xing, and then looked at the others: I can do it with my coffin nails. I, Yang Jian, are not a stingy person. For everyone's safety, I am very willing to eliminate hidden dangers in advance, but I have a little request.

Team Yang, you have any requirements, as long as we can do it.Fan Xing said.

In a word, we have joined forces with the remaining ghost drivers to form a team.

The others are not unaware of Fan Xing’s intentions, but they are not united in the top captain Yang Jian, otherwise they will become cannon fodder if they are deprived of their right to speak, once a supernatural incident occurs, they will become cannon fodder.

If you want to survive, you must have a certain say.

Therefore, since Fan Xing dared to take this step, they didn't mind temporarily cooperating with Fan Xing.

Unfortunately, Zhou Deng didn't seem to be united, otherwise it would be enough to compete with Yang Jian's team.

Yang Jian said: My request is very simple, that is, I will make a coffin nail, and you will make one person.

What does Team Yang mean?Fan Xing asked.

Yang Jian said: It means that there is no problem with me using coffin nails to deal with this corpse, but I think there is someone who talks too much and I am not very happy. If you are willing to help me and get rid of the people who talk too much, then I am in a good mood and will naturally be willing to take care of you.

To survive, you must give your life to please me, so let me see your determination.

After he finished speaking, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were resting on Fan Xing's body.

Fan Xing was covered in a chill all over his body after seeing this, and he even felt the unkind gaze of several nearby people looking at him.

It seemed that he was really shaken by Yang Jian's words and wanted to do something to himself and accept a letter of vote.

Yang, Team Yang, this is serious.Fan Xing squeezed out a smile, looking a little uneasy.

Yang Jian didn't say anything, but turned around and said: Of course, I have another suggestion, that is, you have one to calculate one, add it together, and try it now. As long as I kill me, all the things in my hands will be yours, and you can do whatever you want.

After saying that, he glanced at the others coldly.

Li Yang also frowned and was ready to take action.

The other messengers hesitated for a moment. Although they didn't say anything, they also looked at the strangers, with their eyes revealing bad intentions.

No matter how Yang Jian is, he is still delivering letters. Like them, he is completing tasks. Many places will need to rely on Yang Jian in the future.

If Yang Jian is killed here, then these messengers will be ruined.

This is boring. We are talking to you well, why are we going to do it?Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, everything just now was a misunderstanding.

Some people immediately retreated when they saw that the situation was wrong and felt like they were going to fight.

No matter what we do, we dare not offend Yang Jian, Ah. Moreover, I admire you very much in private. Just now, just a safe suggestion, and there is no other intention. I hope Yang Jian, don’t take it to your heart.

These people immediately apologized and explained, with a very good attitude, making people unable to find fault.

If a thinner person is said a few words like this, he will even feel embarrassed.

Yang Jian's eyes were cold and expressionless, and he still said: You don't have to agree immediately now. You can think more, and there is no rush.

The others were silent, and even Fan Xing was stunned.

Then, he realized the impact of Yang Jian's words.

From now on, as long as the ancient house is more dangerous, the greater the probability that Fan Xing will be killed by other ghost drivers. Because if Fan Xing is not dead, Yang Jian will not be able to use coffin nails to deal with evil ghosts.

As for the second choice, join forces to deal with Yang Jian?

Stop kidding.

You can't beat the captain-level figure at the headquarters. Even if you can beat it, you will inevitably be liquidated by the headquarters afterwards. What's more, there are other ghost-controlling people around Yang Jian, who are not alone.

At this moment, an invisible impulse and contradiction were temporarily put on hold.

Yang Jian, now that he has arrived at the ancient house, what should we do next?The Eagle broke the stalemate and asked about the next action.

Find a room to rest.Yang Jian said: You won’t plan to stand in this lobby all the time.

Everyone looked at the dead body sitting in the lobby, and was inexplicably scared.

If it's not crowded.

Who would like to stand in such a gloomy and terrifying lobby of an ancient house, and face a tall and thin corpse?

Yang Jian didn't care what they thought at this moment. He wanted to check the rooms on the two corridors to see if there was any hidden danger here.

The body is already confirmed.

Since I don’t want to waste the coffin nails on this, I’ll just ignore it.

If this corpse really wants the evil spirit to revive, then it is not the one who is in danger.

and.

If the ghost post office said, the ghost will appear after the seventh day, then there should be nothing unusual about the old man's body before this.

So I'd better observe it first.

Yang Jian left the lobby at this moment and came to the corridor next to the courtyard before. He walked towards the corridor on the right.

The ground in the corridor is the kind of bluestone brick floor. It seems that no one has walked through here for a long time. The ground is a little black and doesn't seem to be very clean.

The first room in the corridor on the right is closer to the patio, so you can still clearly see the doors and windows.

The hollowed-out wooden windows look very retro. You can see what's inside by standing at the door with a slight look at the head.

The room was empty, with only an old round table, a cabinet, and a shelf bed, and there were quilts on the bed, but it was covered with a layer of gray, which seemed to be unavailable for a long time.

A very normal room.Yang Jian did not feel any supernatural existence.

Li Yang touched the door with his hand, then shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not find it.

The room is safe.

Yang Jian continued to walk forward and saw the door of the second room.

A copper lock was hung on the wooden door, locking the room and unable to open it. What's strange is that the room has no windows and the walls are complete. It seems that there were no windows for this room when the house was built.

Li Yang walked over, reached out to test it, then his face changed and he suddenly withdrew his hand back.

Have you discovered something?Yang Jian asked immediately.

Li Yang pressed his voice and said: Captain, this room is very strange, it is isolated from the influence of supernatural powers. The moment I contacted this room, it seemed that even the ghosts in my body were silent. There might be something amazing inside.

If you want to open it, I’m afraid you can only smash the lock, but I think this lock may be a supernatural object, because this lock has been here for so long and there is no trace of rust, and there is not even a gray on it.

Observed very carefully.Yang Jian also speculated that this lock might be a supernatural item.

Because in the dark corridor, the locks are very bright, as if they can block the influence of darkness.

Copper locks, coffin nails, hatchets, scissors... It seems that supernatural objects from the Republic of China period are very unusual as long as they are made of metal.

Good stuff, it's really good stuff. This stuff is very unusual. It's a waste to put such a good lock here.Zhou Deng suddenly leaned over at this time, and he grabbed the copper lock on the door and pulled it.

The copper lock pounded, but it was impossible to remove it.

Zhou Deng took out the gun without hesitation and shot it in two shots, trying to destroy the door bolt.

What are you doingYang Jian said in a deep voice.

Take it down and study it, Team Yang, you are busy with yours, don’t worry about me.Zhou Deng waved his hand, reminding others who heard the gunshots did not need to make a fuss.

But after he fired the gun, the bullet fell deeply into the wooden door.

The door bolt was not destroyed, but blood was leaking out of the bullet hole.

This scene is very familiar.

It reminded Yang Jian of the scene when he used a hatchet to chop off the ghost cabinet.

It is also oozing out blood.

Something was wrong in this room. The copper lock was not left for me to take it away, but to lock the things in the room. It was so evil that I had to leave quickly.Zhou Deng's face changed, he immediately put down the copper lock, then turned around and left.

Very fast.

I suddenly disappeared, as if I had gone to another place to find my baby.

What a lunatic.Li Yang watched him leave and began to guard against him.

In this ghost place, you dare to do something random, either you are trying to die or your mind is abnormal.

This Zhou Deng obviously belongs to the latter.

Because he also knows that he is afraid and knows how to slip away.

So there is only the possibility of abnormal brains.

It’s useless to use a gun, so it’s probably difficult to pry it open. If you want to open this room, you may have to find the key.Li Yang stared at the copper lock and looked down.

There is a keyhole there.

Obviously, there is a key that is specially equipped with a copper lock.

Yang Jian didn't speak, he was observing and thinking.

He has the key.

It's on him.

But Yang Jian didn't plan to open the door now.

No matter what is inside, you must wait seven days before sending the letter successfully before opening it. At that time, the delivery task and the transaction of the ghost cabinet are completed together, which is the safest.Yang Jian was very cautious, he wanted to open the door at the last moment.

Look inside.

He continued to move forward.

The third room is also a very ordinary room, the fourth room is also normal, the fifth room, the sixth room...

The corridor went further and darker, and at the end, I had to take out my phone and light it up.

Fortunately, the lights are not affected by supernatural powers and can clearly illuminate the surroundings.

A corridor with no end.Yang Jian and Li Yang stopped.

The two of them dared not go further, for fear of getting lost in it.

Everything before gives people a sense of repetition.

Rooms, aisles, room aisles... There is no number on the door, nor is it unique. Each room is arranged and furnished.

Yang Jian wanted to turn back, but he took the flashlight on his phone and looked forward, but suddenly he found a chair in the middle of the aisle in front.

Black Taishi Chair.

It's exactly the same as the chair where the dead body is sitting in the lobby.

The chair was not facing this side, but facing away from this side, as if stopping them from moving forward.

Who would put a chair here?Yang Jian had more doubts.

He looked at the chair, confirmed that there was no one or the body, and then turned back.

On the way back, he and Yang Xiaohua, Eagle and others encountered each other.

They were even more afraid to go deeper, and they only dared to wander around Room 3 and wait.

Just rest in this room, stay away from the others. Those outlaws are crazy people. You are far inferior to them. Don’t pay attention to the body in the lobby for the time being. Maybe our goal is to send the letter, but we have to wait for seven days to see the situation anyway.Yang Jian looked at the others and said.

Are you sure you want to be in this room?Isn't the outermost room a little better?At least, you can retreat in a timely manner when you encounter danger.Yang Xiaohua suggested.

It's not a good thing to be too close to that lobby.Wang Feng's eyes moved slightly and said: It's not a good thing to be too far away. The second room is locked, which seems not normal. I would recommend the room in the corridor on the left.

After saying that, he looked at the opposite side.

The door of the room opposite has been opened by other ghost drivers.

It's here.Yang Jian repeated it again, his tone very firm.

Seeing this, the others didn't say anything more.

Although the room on the left is better, it seems that there are other ghost drivers staying there, which is not very safe.

All the messengers on the fourth floor live here, so I feel more at ease.

After pushing open the door, Eagle, Yang Xiaohua, Daqiang and Wang Feng began to put down their luggage.

The luggage was filled with some emergency food and water, as well as some flashlights, batteries, tools, etc.

It looks quite well prepared.

If you don’t encounter danger, it’s okay for ordinary people to survive here for seven days.

Yang Jian doesn't need these, he can now not eat, drink, or sleep.

Li Yang didn't need it very much. His body was eroded by evil spirits, and even if he stayed for seven days, he wouldn't have any problems.

The few people silently began to check some of the situation in this room, and then each found a seat to sit down.

As for that bed.

No one went to touch it, and no one planned to sleep on the bed, they would rather sit in the corner and rest.

Look at the time.

I set off from Dachang City at 9 o'clock, passed three stops of road, and came here again, and before I knew it, it had reached 11:40.

After twelve o'clock, the task of living in the ancient house for seven days will begin.

Not counting now.

This room is not safe at all.The eagle looked at the hollow window and complained slightly.

Anyone can see clearly when passing by.

There is no defensive method for wooden doors.

The room is small and the aisle is narrow.

If you really encounter a ghost, I am afraid you will resist as hard as you were at the post office again.

Humph, there is no place in the entire ancient house that is safe, and it is even more weird outside. It seems that something is wrong in that old forest. There are corpses in the lobby, unless we stay in the front yard, but we have to survive here for seven days. If it takes seven days, the room is better, at least not so conspicuous... Daqiang snorted coldly at the eagle.

The Eagle did not refute.

Because he also knew that this was the most correct choice.

Hiding in the room, you are lucky and unlikely to be targeted by the evil spirit. If you sway around, you will not know how to die.

Have a good rest, and on the first night, I watch.Yang Jian said.

Captain, take turns.Li Yang said.

Yang Jian said: No, in this case, I can only deal with emergencies, and you cannot have an accident. If you have an accident, we may not be able to leave here alive.

Li Yang can connect to the Ghost Gate.

This is like leaving a way out.

So he can't have any situation happening.

Li Yang did not refute, but just nodded, acquiesced to this approach.

The others had nothing to say, just waiting quietly for the passage of time.

At twelve o'clock, it arrived unknowingly.

Everything was normal, no accidents happened, but it was getting quieter outside. It seemed that those ghost-controlling people had their own plans and did not jump around stupidly.

And at this moment.

What no one noticed is.

The two red lanterns at the entrance of this ancient house began to fade quickly after twelve o'clock.

The red faded, and the lantern gradually turned white, and even the light inside the lantern was turning white from red.

soon.

Two red lanterns turned into two white lanterns.

A cold wind blew in the old forest.

The white lantern was rotating slightly.

On the other side of the lantern, a black lyric word emerged at some point.

No.

Maybe this word has been on the lantern for a long time, but I just ignored it before.

At this moment, the ancient house seemed to have become a place for funerals.
