"Master Wu, what does this mean?"
Before Feng Jiajia opened her mouth, Professor Ma asked first.
"They only took physical precautions when entering the cemetery, but not their souls. So after being frightened, they were attacked by hundreds of ghosts, and one of their souls was separated from their bodies. That's why they became inert."
Lianyi explained patiently.
"Professor Ma, my brothers and sisters walked in front of us and opened a stone door. Then a black monster rushed out and swallowed them up in an instant.
We female team members were all terrified. The last thing we remember is our senior brother yelling, "Run!" We scrambled out, and it felt like we were enveloped by the black air. The rest of our memories are a bit fuzzy."
Feng Jiajia tried hard to recall, but the more she thought, the paler her face became. It was obvious that the shock from before was very great. She was still shivering unconsciously, and Professor Ma even heard the sound of her teeth touching.
"Jia Jia, don't think about it for now. We have already invited Master Wu from Mount Longhu. She will definitely have a solution."
Teacher Ma first comforted his students, then turned to Lianyi and asked:
"The soul that Jiajia lost has been found, but what about the others?"
"Although Jiajia's soul left her body, she did not stay in the cemetery, but stubbornly followed the main soul back here.
That’s why I had the opportunity to take action and restore Feng Jiajia’s soul.”
After hearing Lianyi's words, Professor Ma's face became even worse.
"Can the soul they lost be found again? It's been so long!"
"I'll find a way to do this, don't worry, Professor."
At this time, Wu Siming came in and said to Lianyi:
"Master Wu, the logging team you want will be here tomorrow."
"Okay, I want a detailed map of this place. I'll mark it in advance and start the operation as soon as everyone arrives tomorrow."
Lianyi didn't want to waste time either. She was afraid that if she delayed for too long, the Ghost King in the cemetery would become alert and run away, and all her arrangements would be in vain.
"Okay, no problem."
Wu Siming is a soldier and has a decisive and resolute style. More than 30 of his subordinates are still out of contact. Seeing that Master Wu is also a man of action, the expression on his face is obviously much more relaxed.
"Professor Ma, inform the members of your archaeological team not to leave the camp after the sun sets. I have already made some protection here, so you won't be harassed by ghosts anymore."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Professor Ma agreed immediately.
Lianyi turned around and left with Wu Siming to their combat command tent.
"Master Wu, can my men hold out until rescued?"
"They are warriors who defend their country. They are masculine and upright. They will not be hurt by ghosts for a while. They will just fall into illusions. It should be fine for them to hold on for seven or eight days, but not for a long time."
"I understand. We will get them in place as soon as possible."
That night, everyone in the camp had a rare good night’s sleep. There was no chill or sleep paralysis, and no nightmares. They slept dreamlessly until dawn and felt much more refreshed.
Wu Siming went to pick up the logging team early in the morning, then divided the team into two teams. They took the map marked by Lianyi and started logging.
The felled locust trees were directly transported away by large equipment and were not parked in the camp. This was also Lianyi's request.
The locust tree is a ghost tree and is the most likely place for ghosts to stay.
Lianyi followed the two teams and buried the spiritual essence he had carved in advance in the place where the other team had cut down the wood.
Although it is only a piece of spiritual marrow the size of a quail egg, due to the pure spiritual energy contained in it and the array patterns engraved on it, its power is extraordinary.
Before the sun set, Lianyi stopped the logging team and asked them to return to the camp to rest.
"Master Wu, since time is urgent, why don't you work overtime to cut wood overnight?"
Wu Siming was really anxious, so he ran directly to Lianyi to find out the reason.
"Captain Wu, I know you are anxious, but you can't ignore the safety of the loggers. I'm not trying to scare you, but if we cut wood overnight and disturb the things in the cemetery, the loggers will be in danger."
Lian Yi explained calmly.
After hearing this, Wu Siming had no choice but to give up.
The next day, at daybreak, the lumberjacks began to work again.
Lianyi knew that not only Wu Siming was anxious, but Professor Ma was also anxious. However, they did not dare to disrupt Lianyi's arrangements. They just kept circling around her, which made Lianyi frown.
There was no other choice, so she called the two men to her side, explained to them the remaining tasks that needed to be completed, and gave the remaining spiritual essences to Wu Siming, asking him to place them according to the markings she had made on the map.
"Captain Wu, Professor Ma, I know you are anxious, so I will enter the cemetery ahead of time, but there must be no mistakes in the things I have assigned to you, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can bear."
"Okay, don't worry, Master Wu, we will supervise each other and make sure to complete the tasks you have assigned us."
Lian Yi then nodded.
In fact, she had originally planned to set up the Scorching Sun Array and enter the cemetery simultaneously, but she was waiting for the best time to enter the cemetery.
This is the time of the year when the sun is closest to the ground, and it is also the time when all ghosts retreat and the ghost king is relatively weak.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Lianyi waved her sleeves and entered the cemetery alone.
A small part of the cemetery has been excavated by the archaeological team, and the entrance is exactly where the unlucky hiker fell in before.
Lianyi jumped down lightly and looked at the deep pit that had been cleared. There were no more bones in it.
But the ghosts huddled together inside were still howling in pain, wandering back and forth in the deep pit as if they had lost the bones to rely on.
After discovering the stranger Lianyi, they immediately swarmed towards her with roars.
Lianyi didn't waste any words. He just took out a wooden plaque carved out of locust tree wood and activated the formation on it. Then all the ghosts that swarmed in were collected into the locust tree wood plaque and finally sealed by Lianyi.
This was another reason why she followed the lumberjacks, to make a container to store ghosts. Locust trees that were over a hundred years old were undoubtedly the best material.
After collecting all the ghosts in the burial pit, Lianyi continued to move forward.
After leaving the burial chamber, there is a long passage paved with black stone slabs. The stone slabs are uneven, and it is obvious that someone touched the mechanism.
Lianyi walked a hundred meters and saw another small tomb. The 30-square-meter space was also built of stone. It was empty inside, with only four terracotta guards holding swords, as if they were guarding the owner of the tomb.
Looking at the open door of the tomb behind the terracotta guard, Lianyi was very sure that this should be the place where Feng Jiajia said she and her three senior brothers were separated.
But she did not rush in, but instead turned her gaze to the four terracotta figurines, because she saw the resentful souls in the figurines.
The resentful souls are trying in vain to attack the terracotta warriors that seal them in, trying to leave here.
