This old man is obviously an old troublemaker... Zhang Yuanqing put away his knife with satisfaction and asked:

“The first question is, how did Wang Xiaoer become like this?

Generally speaking, there are two ways for Yin corpses to be formed. One is artificially refined, just like he refined King No. 1.

The second is that the corpse is buried in a place with extremely heavy yin energy, where it absorbs yin energy day by day, develops a weak spiritual intelligence, and becomes a zombie (yin corpse).

Wang Xiaoer does not fit the second category. If he were the first category, he would be able to refine an ordinary villager into such a powerful Yin corpse, even surpassing the Dead No. 1.

This method is a bit scary.

The old man said with great sorrow:

"It's because he went to the tomb and brought back unclean things. A while ago, Wang Xiaoer, who had been missing for several days, suddenly returned to the village with a large bag of gold, silver and jade. He said that he had made a fortune and wanted to build the best house in the village and marry a girl from the provincial capital.

"He approached Mr. Xu, a teacher in the village, and asked him to help him look at some antiques and estimate their prices."

Antiques... Zhang Yuan didn't dwell on the issue of Wang Xiaoer turning into a corpse, and asked, "What antiques did he bring back?"

The old man recalled:

"I was just there to join in the fun. He showed Mr. Xu three antiques. One was a sculpture of a girl doll without a tongue. It had a pair of protruding ears. It was black and shiny, and felt cool to the touch. Mr. Xu said it was Yin jade, which had to have been in a tomb for many years to be so shiny and glossy."

"One is a rouge box. It's made of silver and carved with flowers. It's very beautiful. The rouge inside is as bright as blood. You said this thing has been in the tomb for so long, why doesn't it work?"

"Where is the third item?" Zhang Yuanqing asked without responding.

"It's a bronze mirror, grey in colour, with some beautiful stones inlaid in it. Mr. Xu said they were gems. It's a pity that the mirror can't reflect people, otherwise it could be sold to the wife of a wealthy family in the provincial capital."

Well, none of these three things can be used by living people. Wang Xiaoni is really good at picking... Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but complain.

"Those three items were sold by Wang Xiaoer?" He remembered that he had searched the house for a long time and found nothing.

The old man nodded and shook his head:

"Mr. Xu bought the box of rouge, but I don't know what happened to the doll and the mirror.

Anyway, ever since Wang Xiaoer brought those things back, several strange things happened in the village the next day."

"What strange things happened?" Zhang Yuanqing continued the topic.

"I heard from Widow Li at the village that on the night Wang Xiaoer came back, she got up in the middle of the night and saw through the window a woman in red entering the village. The woman was so pretty, she had never seen such a pretty girl before, but her face was a little pale. The next day, Wang Xiaoer turned into a ghost-like appearance." said the old man.

According to Lingjing's introduction, the woman in red should be the princess. So it seems that Wang Xiaoer was retaliated by the princess and turned into a Yin corpse. This princess is a bit fierce.

Alas, female ghosts have always been pretty since ancient times, but it’s a pity that they are ghosts. Uh, yes, the princess is most likely a corpse, not a vengeful spirit. If I could subdue her, I would definitely use her every day, um, use her to fight... Zhang Yuanqing thought aimlessly and said:

"Anything else?"

"Yes, the child of Zhao Erdan had his tongue cut off. I heard from Zhao Erdan's wife that she was cooking dinner that day, and Xiaodan, Erdan's child, was playing in the yard. She saw Xiaodan go out with a little girl. She didn't pay much attention at the time, just thinking that someone's child came to play with Xiaodan. However, the girl's face seemed to be black, like a shadow, which she found very strange.

"After Erdan's wife finished cooking, she went out to look for Xiaodan and found him fainted at the door with his tongue missing." The old man said, fear flashing in his eyes:

"Since then, as soon as it gets dark, there is a dark-skinned girl in the village who likes to lie on other people's windows and ask if they want to play games.

"If she climbs onto a window, the next day, the tongue of that family will be cut off. The girl will wander around the village until the first watch before leaving."

So this is how the villagers’ tongues were cut off. They left at the first watch. In other words, the game had to be played until the first watch? Zhang Yuanqing said:

"What game?" The old man shook his head: "How would I know? It's a play. You didn't even tell me what game it was."

She kept talking about playing games. Zhang Yuanqing frowned when he heard this.

The information went wrong here. The information given by Elvis's speaker was to play "You Clap One", but the old man said there was no game.

"How did your tongue get cut?" Zhang Yuanqing asked for details.

The old man recalled the horrifying past and his face was filled with horror:

"I was very scared at the time and hid under the bed. She kept leaning on the window and kept saying she wanted to play games. Then she disappeared. I remember I fell asleep and when I woke up, my tongue was gone."

Zhang Yuanqing made a quick analysis based on his own experience.

Playing games is actually the correct way to avoid the crisis, but the villagers were too scared and no one dared to play with the little girl.

As a spiritual realm traveler, the demon king followed the rules and played the game boldly, thus successfully passing the level. He played...

Zhang Yuanqing understood that the Demon Lord was playing the "You Clap One" game. No wonder he felt very strange after listening to the audio from Elvis' speaker.

"Ni Pai Yi" is a nursery rhyme and should not appear in a copy with a Ming Dynasty background.

The nursery rhyme did not come from the weirdness in the copy, but from the Demon Lord. The Elvis speaker only recorded the Demon Lord's original method of breaking through and played this method to him.

This is the first of the three antiques that Wang Xiaoer brought out. There should be more strange things to come... Zhang Yuanqing said as he thought:

"Anything else strange?"

The old man was horrified when he heard this, and he lowered his voice unconsciously: "Mr. Xu is dead!"

Sure enough... Zhang Yuanqing did not interrupt and listened to the old man continue:

"The next morning, the children in the village went to the private school, but Mr. Xu, who always came early, did not show up. The children told the adults what had happened, and everyone went to his house to take a look.

Only then did I realize that Mr. Xu had died a tragic death, having become a dried up man.

"He was lying straight on the bed, with a paper doll beside him. The doll was very beautifully made, with a rosy face and red dots on the eyes. Oh, not red paint, but a box of rouge." "The box of rouge was placed on the bedside at the time, and it was still open. The village chief found that Mr. Xu's fingers were stained with red rouge. He must have painted the face and eyes of the doll."

At this point, the old man said stealthily:

"Li Tieniu from next door said that in the middle of the night... around the second watch, he heard Mr. Xu playing with a woman. But Mr. Xu had been a widower for many years, so where did this woman come from?

“It was the paper man that came to life at night and harmed Mr. Xu.

In the dead of night, a paper doll with painted eyes and blush on it lay beside him, and then came to life... Zhang Yuanqing imagined it and felt a little horrified.

So I never buy action figures, silicone ones, inflatable ones, etc. I don't want any of them. I use billions of lives to water them every day. If one day they come back to life, it will be a lot of fun. Zhang Yuanqing said, "Where is the box of rouge?"

"It's still in Mr. Xu's house. Who would dare to take it?" The old man sighed, "After Mr. Xu died, at about the second watch of the night, someone saw the paper man walking around the village. It was scary."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing narrowed his eyes.

At the second watch, paper dolls will walk around in the village, which means that at the second watch, the second wave of crisis will come.

I don't know how the devil dealt with the paper man, I'll ask the Elvis speaker later. "Old man, there should be a third strange thing. For example, at midnight." Zhang Yuanqing said.

Based on the old man's narration, he figured out the pattern: the ghost doll without a tongue was causing trouble at the first watch, and the paper man was causing trouble at the second watch.

Something bad will definitely happen at midnight.

Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head: "Three o'clock in the morning? Nothing strange happened, but at four o'clock in the morning, something strange seemed to have happened."

Zhang Yuanqing quickly asked: "What's strange?"

The old man frowned, and a look of confusion flashed across his wrinkled dark face: "I, I forgot...

Forgot? Then I can only ask other villagers. From what I heard so far, this dungeon is not too difficult. If you find the tongue, you can get a lot of information and basically understand the weirdness in the dungeon.

Play games before dark. If you play until the first watch, you can get rid of the ghost doll. At the second watch, you can deal with the paper man. There will be nothing strange at the third watch. There should be something strange at the fourth watch, but the old man forgot. You can ask other villagers.

After solving the three "antiques", do you have to fight the boss? If you survive successfully, you can pass the level.

Although we know that the princess must be very powerful, it is enough to understand all the weirdness in the copy. This kind of danger that is exposed in the open is far more reassuring than crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In fact, Zhang Yuanqing has another trump card: the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

This thing is a powerful weapon to restrain evil spirits, but he doesn't dare to use it. After what happened at Jinshui Amusement Park, he suspected that if he used the Demon-Subduing Pestle in the spiritual realm exclusive to the Night Wandering God, it would definitely be sensed by the Old Man.

If Lao Bangzi comes, even kneeling down and singing "Conquer" will be of no use.

What would be the result of inviting a big boss? Zhang Yuanqing didn't know. He only knew that Lao Bangzi would crush him to death just like crushing an ant.

He didn't dare to gamble his life on the other party's attitude.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing looked up at the sky. It had already darkened, with thin clouds frozen and motionless. The light in the sky seemed very dim. In a while, it would be dark.

Zhang Yuanqing did not delay any longer and said:

"Grandpa, it's getting dark, the ghost doll is coming, you don't want your tongue cut off, let's play a game.

The old man never disappoints when it comes to following his heart, and he nodded immediately, "What game?"

Zhang Yuanqing then told the old man the game tips and how to play. "Will this work?" The old man looked unconvinced.

"You have no choice." Zhang Yuanqing replied, then summoned the Dead Man No. 1, communicated with the mark in the sea of ​​consciousness, and divided the spirit into two halves, one half remained in the main body, and the other half entered the corpse.

The two men and the corpse stood in a triangle. Zhang Yuanqing clapped his hands and said:

"You clap once, I clap once, let's play games before dark."

The old man clapped his hands: "You clap twice, I clap twice, touch your tongue and ears."

The two men and the corpse opened their mouths, touched their tongues, and then touched their ears. The deceased No. 1 clapped his hands and said in a hoarse voice:

"You clap three times, I clap three times, and together with the shadow, it makes three."

There was constant applause as the two people and the corpse started playing like this. Time passed by minute by minute and it soon got dark.

The whole world was shrouded in a dark veil, and then deep darkness engulfed the mountain village.

There was no moon or stars in the night sky, only pitch-black darkness.

The mountain village fell into deathly silence. There was no sound of insects or barking of dogs. It was so quiet that it was frightening and unsettling.

The applause and talking of the two people and the corpse were the only sources of sound in this dead world.

After dark, the yin energy in the village became heavier... Zhang Yuanqing maintained the rhythm of the game. As a night-wandering god, he was keenly aware of the changes around him.

During the day, there was no gloomy energy in the village, but as soon as it got dark, a cold atmosphere began to spread and the whole village seemed to have turned into a ghost town.

Moreover, the yin energy will become more and more severe as time goes by.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing heard laughter coming from the darkness behind him: "Hey, someone is playing games~"

The voice was clear and childish, belonging to a young girl.

It's coming... Zhang Yuanqing saw the old man's expression change and his lips began to tremble. Zhang Yuanqing felt a very cold and yin energy approaching. The strength of this yin energy reminded him of the ghost bride, or more precisely, the oppression that the ghost bride gave him.

This ghost doll is so scary that it doesn’t seem wise to confront it head-on... Zhang Yuanqing also felt the same way as the old man.

The evil energy stopped behind Zhang Yuanqing, and then he felt a chill on his back, climbing up little by little.

She wants to attach herself to me?

The hairs on Zhang Yuanqing's back stood up, his scalp was tingling, and he almost couldn't maintain the rhythm of the game.

Fortunately, the cold aura only stayed for a few seconds before leaving Zhang Yuanqing's back and moving behind the deceased No. 1, trying to possess him.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and finally saw it clearly.

It was a shadow, a child's shadow, and it fell on the ground behind the Deceased No. 1, as if it were the shadow of the Deceased No. 1.

The shadow seemed to want to attach itself to the deceased No. 1, but after several attempts, it ended in failure.

"Why are there three more people? ... I want to play games, I want to play games..."

The short shadow made a childish voice like a little girl and complained unhappily. As long as there were three people playing, she couldn't join in?

How did the Demon Lord come up with this rule? Well, it doesn’t seem difficult. If it weren’t for the reminder from the Elvis speaker, I would definitely have gathered some villagers to play the game.

"You clap twice, I clap twice, touch your tongue and ears."

The old man's voice began to tremble, and it was obvious that he was very scared. But his heart gave him strength, allowing him to persist in playing the game.

In the following time, the shadow kept alternating behind the three people, trying to possess them and participate in the game, but each time failed.

Very good, it can’t come in. This will be enough to keep it like this until the first watch. Besides, the yin energy in the village has become heavier... Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything was going according to his plan.

He was playing games while counting the time. After a long time, he felt that the first watch was almost here.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing, whose brain was highly active and in a tense state, suddenly thought of something puzzling.

That is the "three people" hint given by the Elvis speaker, and the "three people again" that the ghost doll said not long ago.

The rule about the number of people must have been summed up by the Demon Lord, but there is a problem here. Without knowing the rules, the more people the better. If I were the Demon Lord, I would definitely find a group of villagers to play the game.

Rather than three people to be exact.

But just now the ghost doll said "three more". If she was referring to the time with the Demon Lord, then the question is, how did the Demon Lord guess that when the number of people reached three, the ghost doll would be excluded?

The only answer is the rules that the Demon Lord concluded after trial and error.

The Demon King at that time found a group of villagers, but found that having more people was meaningless. The villagers were cut off their tongues or killed one by one by the ghost dolls until only three people were left, and the ghost dolls stopped?

It doesn't seem right. How could the villagers have such discipline? If one person dies, they will probably scatter and flee. Moreover, after the Demon Lord finds that people still die while playing games, will he continue to call on the villagers to play games?

It must be the ghost doll that was trying too hard, because he couldn't guarantee that he would be the next person the ghost doll would possess.

So how did the Demon Lord come up with this rule?

It's almost the first watch of the night. Let's get rid of the ghost doll first before thinking about these things.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw the old man next to him suddenly showing a look of pain and muttering:

"I remember, I remember, at four o'clock in the morning..."

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing discovered that a strong yin energy was emanating from the old man, and his skin turned from normal color to blue-black.

The yin energy around was too strong, covering up the yin corpse aura emitted by the old man.

He is a Yin corpse? How is this possible... Zhang Yuanqing's pupils shrank slightly. As a night-wandering god, he could clearly see that the old man's body was nourished by Yin energy and was gradually transforming into a Yin corpse.

The old man's fingers stabbed out sharp claws, his eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered: "At four o'clock in the morning, everyone in the village was dead..."

All the people in the village are dead... Hearing this, Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill in his heart and his scalp went numb.

There are no normal people in this copy. The villagers have died long ago. They retain their human form during the day, but at night, nourished by the Yin energy, they will turn into Yin corpses?

Twenty, I felt strange, why there were so many living people in this copy, the Yin objects in the A-level copy were so gentle, it turned out that there was no one alive.

Suddenly, he understood why the Demon Lord had made mistakes in his trial and error.

The Demon King gathered a group of villagers to play a game, but they all turned into corpses at night. The game failed, but the Demon King did not die immediately. Maybe he just happened to have two corpses, or he had other means. In short, he summed up the rules and found that as long as three people played the game, they could avoid the killing rules of the ghost doll.

At this moment, all rationality in the old man's eyes disappeared, and he turned into a blood-thirsty evil creature, pouncing on Zhang Yuanqing beside him.

The dead man No. 1 intercepted from the side and hit the old man with great force. The game was forced to end.

"Hehe, I want to play games too~"

A tender and clear voice sounded behind Zhang Yuanqing.

A chilling breath pressed against his back, and the next second, Zhang Yuanqing's neck made a "crack" sound, and his head was twisted behind his back.

“Crack, crack…”

His legs and hands were twisted behind his back at the same time, with his joints twisted, like a haphazardly put together puppet.
