As the gloomy wind dissipated, the hall returned to calm, the candles burned quietly, the candle shadows swayed slightly, and the thick gloomy energy that shrouded the hall dissipated.
Xie Lingxi and others did not have the inspiration of the Night Wandering God, but they could sense by intuition that the lobby had become safe.
The Fire Demon looked at him with a look of surprise and joy, and asked:
"You are the Night Wanderer? You are actually the Night Wanderer..."
Just by scolding, the evil spirits were scared away. It was self-evident what Wang Tai's job was.
"Is it strange? Jinshui Amusement Park has supernatural elements, so it's normal to be matched with the Night Walker." Zhang Yuanqing responded with a smile, "Everyone, I can't guarantee the other entertainment projects, but I can still protect you in the haunted house before you see the ghost bride."
The four teammates looked at each other and saw joy in each other's eyes.
I didn't expect there was a rare profession in the team.
In a supernatural dungeon full of ghosts and monsters, having a night-wandering god to protect you is more reliable than most props.
After all, Night Wanderer is a professional match.
All of a sudden, the four teammates looked at Zhang Yuanqing with eyes full of dependence.
"We only have an hour. Don't delay and see if there are any clues here." Zhang Yuanqing swept his eyes across the hall. With his night vision ability, he quickly locked onto the tribute table behind the armchair.
I walked to the table and saw a piece of red paper at the bottom of a blue and white porcelain plate filled with peanuts and longans.
Zhang Yuanqing picked up the red paper and looked at it under the candlelight:
"Dowry: weighing scale, gold hairpin, medicinal wine, wedding quilt."
Others also came over.
Xie Lingxi pinched his jaw, his eyes turned, and said:
"These things are not betrothal gifts, but since it is written on the paper, it should be for us to find these four things and regard them as betrothal gifts."
Finding these four things is like having a groom with a betrothal gift.
Monkey King: "What if we don't find it?"
Fire Demon: "Of course he's dead. After we find the betrothal gifts, the ghost bride will choose one of us?"
Zhang Yuanqing: "Why choose one person instead of everyone entering the bridal chamber together?"
Seeing his teammates looking expressionless, Zhang Yuanqing shrugged: "It was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. You guys have no sense of humor."
The teammates were even more expressionless.
Xi Shi rolled her eyes, and Xie Lingxi continued:
"The outline of this mission has become clear. In an hour, the ghost bride will choose a husband. The criterion for choosing a husband is a groom with betrothal gifts. Therefore, we need to find four betrothal gifts in this mansion.
"But I don't know whether the lucky ones who are chosen will have a chance to survive or will die."
The Fire Demon looked the little girl up and down: "You really don't remember the content of the strategy?"
The analysis is very clear and logical.
Xie Lingxi pouted and pretended to be wronged: "I really don't know."
Zhang Yuanqing took a look at the number of people in the team and was startled.
Following the current clues, there will be two results. The first is that if four betrothal gifts are found, it will be considered that all members have met the requirements, and then they can just wait for the ghost bride to come.
The second type is that four betrothal gifts can only guarantee that four people meet the requirements, and those who fail to meet the requirements will surely die.
The first one is fine, but the second one...
Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself:
"If it's the second one, then when the dungeon reaches this level, the team will definitely have internal strife. By then, the number of people who can survive will not exceed four. No wonder the props and skills are not sealed. This is forcing us to kill each other. The S-level dungeon is really full of murderous intentions..."
If that situation really comes to pass, how many people will be left in the team?
As the captain, he has a hidden mission, and the team must not be less than three people.
In addition, the selection of a son-in-law also has the effect of confusing people, giving people the impression that only those chosen by the bride have a glimmer of hope. By inertia of thinking, the lucky ones always have preferential treatment...
But Zhang Yuanqing was certain that anyone chosen by the bride would die.
The reason is simple. First, this is how it was in the old version. Second, if only the chosen ones can survive, then there is no point in hiding the mission.
No matter how hard you try, you will be the only one left here.
What difference does it make whether there is a reduction in staff or not?
Of course, if the ghost bride is a playboy, that’s another matter.
Only one person may be killed in the Ghost Bride segment, but in the Haunted House segment, the danger is definitely not just the Ghost Bride. First of all, there is the crisis of internal strife in the team, and secondly, there are other vengeful spirits in the haunted house... As a team leader, this copy is really too difficult. If there is no high reward for the final clearance, it is simply unreasonable. Fortunately, I have the artifact Demon Subduing Pestle, so I am not afraid even if I face the Ghost Bride... Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously glanced at his teammates and found that they had a dim look in their eyes and had begun to be wary of each other.
No one is stupid.
Zhang Yuanqing coughed:
"Time is running out, let's find the betrothal gifts first. Everyone, follow me closely and don't separate. Ordinary evil spirits can't get close to me."
In such occasions, his words are most effective and everyone relies on his profession.
Immediately, the group walked around the screen wall behind the lobby and came to the inner courtyard. Looking around, they saw winding corridors with red lanterns hanging on them, and the deep red candlelight illuminated the shadows of trees, flower beds and rockery.
In the distance, you can vaguely see the arched gate connecting to other courtyards, and the houses with straight ridges stand in an orderly manner in the night.
The ghost bride is really the daughter of a wealthy family... Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart.
Judging from the size of this house, it must have at least three entrances.
He took a look at the layout of the house, turned around and reminded everyone: "The yin energy here is very strong, follow me closely..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and there was no one behind him.
The players were missing.
This is a bit scary... Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath, did not stop, and continued walking forward.
We have to find them as soon as possible. These people are not Night Wanderers. Although their skills and props are not sealed, their means of dealing with spirits are limited. If they encounter difficult vengeful spirits, they may die at any time.
He walked through the garden and saw a candlelight in a house in front of him. The candlelight was dim, and it reflected faintly through the lattice window.
The other rooms were pitch black.
Zhang Yuanqing walked into the corridor cautiously, approached the house, and concentrated on sensing it. The house was filled with gloomy air, but there were no evil spirits lingering there.
I tiptoed open the lattice door and the scene inside the house came into view.
This seems to be a woman's boudoir. There is a bed on the east side with a low bed curtain, a round table in the middle, a dressing table next to the window, and a bronze mirror facing the door.
A golden scale rod lay quietly in front of the dressing table.
Zhang Yuanqing stepped over the threshold, turned around to close the door, walked to the dressing table, and picked up the golden scale rod, which was only half an arm's length and as thick as a thumb.
This thing is used to choose the bride's red veil, which means "everything goes as you wish".
"It's not that difficult. I found it in no time..."
Zhang Yuanqing was about to leave the room when he suddenly heard a crackling sound of electricity and a voice came out from the Elvis speaker in his pocket:
"That day, she came to Jinshui Amusement Park..."
This idiot always makes noises at inappropriate times. Hmm, what does it want to say? Speaking of which, it is also part of the amusement park, and perhaps knows some information... Zhang Yuanqing shifted his attention to the Elvis speaker, expecting what it would say.
The Elvis speaker did not disappoint this time, and the sound continued to play:
"The spirits in the haunted house trembled and crawled on the ground. The great being did not make things difficult for the weak vengeful spirits. She told the bride to find a young man for her. The young man's name was: Yuanshi Tianzun!"
Zhang Yuanqing's head buzzed as if he was struck by lightning, and he was completely stunned.
Looking for me? Looking for me!!
Who is looking for me and why?
Astonishment and confusion surged over him, and soon he understood who it was.
The Lady of Sandaoshan!
"The official announcement of Taiyi Sect said that it was a powerful BOSS that caused the changes in the spiritual realm. The introduction of Jinshui Amusement Park said that after sleeping for a long time, that existence was surprised that there were so many new and strange gadgets in the world. These details can be consistent with the Three Daoshan Goddess...
"I was the one who awakened the Sandashan Goddess. She was looking for me because half of her soul is in the Demon-Subduing Pestle... Damn, this old man is still haunting me. Can't he just let me go? I'm still a child..."
Zhang Yuanqing actually knew it in his mind. If he continued to upgrade, he would have to fight against Sandaoshan Niangniang sooner or later.
But that should have been after he became a high-level spiritual practitioner, and used the Yang Soul in the Demon-Subduing Pestle to make a deal with the Empress.
No one would have expected that the old man had such great powers that he could actually influence low-level spiritual realms.
"Damn it, I said the mission couldn't be so simple, but now it seems that taking out the Demon Subduing Pestle will expose my identity?"
The reason why the Queen came to him was because of the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
"In this spiritual realm that has been influenced by the Empress, I am afraid that as soon as I take out the Demon-Subduing Pestle, that old man will come to kill me. What will be my fate then? It is still unclear whether the boss in the spiritual realm has moral values. What if he kills a little ant like me..."
After repeated consideration, Zhang Yuanqing decided to hide his identity and continue the mission without using the Demon-Subduing Pestle.
The consequence of exposing one's identity may be to face the terrifying god, Sandaoshan Niangniang, and there are too many uncertainties.
If you continue to complete the mission and can pass the haunted house, nothing will happen. If you are really in a desperate situation, it will not be too late to take out the demon-subduing pestle.
After thinking through the pros and cons, he was no longer panicked. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw in the bronze mirror that the door was pushed open.
He was startled and turned around quickly, only to find that the door was closed and not opened.
What's going on? Zhang Yuanqing turned his head blankly and returned his gaze to the bronze mirror. His pupils shrank slightly.
In the bronze mirror, a woman in a white dress appeared with her hair loose. She stepped over the threshold and walked into the house in a strange posture.
The room reflected in the bronze mirror seemed different from the room he was in.
The woman in the white dress walked to the dressing mirror in a strange posture and sat down.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing finally saw clearly why she walked in a strange posture, because she was walking backwards.
The following scene would scare an ordinary person to death. The woman in the bronze mirror raised her hand, took off the head, and held it in her arms.
The skin on her hands was dark blue, and her long nails were sharp and black.
The black hair on the head spread out, revealing a woman's face, a pair of creepy white pupils, a pale face, black lips, and she stared at the bronze mirror, as if she was gazing at Zhang Yuanqing in another world.
This female ghost is not pretty... Zhang Yuanqing quickly stepped back, planning to leave the house.
However, the loose hair in the mirror seemed to come alive, rising up like tentacles and suddenly piercing into the mirror.
The bronze mirror rippled as tufts of hair penetrated the mirror, entwining Zhang Yuanqing's wrists and body, tightening continuously as if to pull him into the mirror.
"snort!"
A sticky black light surged in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes. He opened his mouth and sucked hard.
Soul Eater!
This skill that can suppress evil spirits only slows down the speed at which the hair wraps around, but cannot devour the female ghost in the mirror.
This female ghost is very powerful, not an ordinary vengeful spirit... Zhang Yuanqing moved his feet forward little by little, getting closer and closer to the bronze mirror.
He quickly thought of a countermeasure. He would not use the Demon-Subduing Pestle if possible. The Bloodthirsty Blade was a physical output item and was ineffective against spirits. The Red Shoes' attack was also physical, so trampling on spirits was ineffective...
After thinking about it, it must be you, little idiot!!
Zhang Yuanqing spewed out a stream of Yin energy from his mouth and summoned the little funny guy.
"Aba..." The chubby and cute baby spirit landed on the dressing table, stretched its limbs lazily, and then it saw the female ghost in the mirror.
In an instant, like a cat with its fur standing on end, the infant spirit rolled down the dressing table at a speed that was inappropriate for its age, and huddled behind Zhang Yuanqing, crying loudly in fear.
......Zhang Yuanqing cursed: "Useless thing, come at me."
He transmitted the attacking instructions to the infant spirit.
"Ababa!"
It is the nature of a spirit servant to obey orders. The infant spirit raised its eyebrows, barked twice fiercely, grabbed Zhang Yuanqing's trouser leg, climbed up to his shoulders, and pounced hard.
The round and plump little body penetrated the bronze mirror and pasted itself onto the female ghost's face.
Zhang Yuanqing immediately calmed down his emotions, transferred his consciousness to the infant spirit, and replaced the female ghost's perception.
The ghost girl's eerie face turned dull, as if she had suddenly lost her mind.
The deadly hair, like steel wire, suddenly lost its strength to hold on and fell down helplessly.
Well done!
Zhang Yuanqing immediately summoned back the little funny guy, asked him to lie on top of his head, and turned around and ran away.
The infant spirit's power only lasts for three seconds, but it is enough for him to escape from the house.
Zhang Yuanqing rushed into the room and stepped out of the threshold. As soon as he returned to the garden, he heard a door slamming behind him. Looking back, he saw that the candle in the room had gone out and it was pitch black.
The inner courtyard was filled with cold winds and many vengeful spirits were lurking in the distance. They longed for the breath of the Night Wandering God, but were afraid of his pressure and did not dare to approach.
"We have to find them quickly, before they all die..."
Zhang Yuanqing quickly left the garden, passed through the arched door, and came to the yard next door. He soon saw Xie Lingxi.
The little girl stood in front of a water tank in the corner of the yard. She threw her upper body into the tank, grabbed the edge of the tank with both hands, and struggled hard. It seemed that something in the tank was pulling her.
No matter how hard I try, I can't "pull" myself out of the water tank.
Gradually, her struggle became weaker and weaker...
Zhang Yuanqing approached slowly and smelled the odor of alcohol. He leaned over to take a look and saw a dark liquid rippling in the vat, with a baby spirit swimming with its umbilical cord. It was the umbilical cord that was wrapped around Xie Lingxi's neck, dragging her tightly in the water.
Zhang Yuanqing picked up the little funny guy with both hands and threw him into the water tank regardless of his struggle.
When the umbilical cord baby spirit saw its own kind coming in, it immediately loosened the umbilical cord and bared its teeth at the little funny guy.
Zhang Yuanqing grabbed Xie Lingxi's shoulders and pulled her out of the water tank with force.
“Ahem…”
Xie Lingxi started coughing violently, his face turned red, and his bangs and sideburns were wet and stuck to his forehead and cheeks.
Ten seconds later, she began to feel better. Seeing Zhang Yuanqing's face clearly, she burst into tears of joy:
"Brother Wang Tai, please come and save me. Woohoo, I never want to enter the spiritual realm related to the Night Wandering God again. It's too, too scary..."
This was her first time entering a copy with supernatural elements.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Yuanqing stared at the water tank.
The two infant spirits started fighting in the wine, biting and tangling with each other, stirring up ripples in the dark water.
Xie Lingxi stood on tiptoe and took a look into the jar. Then he remembered that he had drunk a lot just now and he retched: "So disgusting, so disgusting..."
After a lot of complaints, she finally responded to Zhang Yuanqing's question:
"Brother Wang Tai, I followed you out of the hall, and a fog came in, and I realized that you were all gone, so I went to look for you, and unknowingly walked here, and smelled the aroma of wine, and followed the smell to find this jar.
"Thinking this was part of the betrothal gift, I just opened the wooden cover and a rope came out of the jar and pulled me into the water."
She looked at the umbilical cord baby spirit in the water tank, thinking about the blood she had just choked on, her face turned pale: "Too disgusting, too disgusting..."
Zhang Yuanqing silently calculated the time and looked at the girl: "You held your breath for a long time."
Xie Lingxi shook her head and said in a tender voice: "I have a prop that can restore vitality. If I didn't have it, I would have suffocated to death in the water tank."
As she spoke, she raised her snow-white wrist, on which was a emerald green jade bracelet.
A bracelet that restores vitality... Is this girl also a wood demon? She doesn't look like one... Zhang Yuanqing said 'hmm' without paying too much attention to the bracelet.
"Come with me to find them. I hope it's not too late."
Xie Lingxi collected some **, while Zhang Yuanqing called back the little idiot who was fighting with his peers for the first time in his life, and walked along the cobblestone path towards the depths of the house.
"By the way, give me that card."
"Huh? What card?"
"Don't play dumb. I saw you put the card you brought from the parking lot in your back pocket."
“.......”
