"coffin?"

Chen Xian stopped the flashlight there and narrowed his eyes to identify it carefully.

The object presented an inexplicable black color, and there was no reflection under the strong light of the flashlight, and it seemed to absorb a large amount of electromagnetic radiation in the visible light band.

"What is that?" Fatty Huo also noticed the black outline in the corner, so he took the initiative to ask Chen Xian.

"It looks like a coffin." Chen Xian replied uncertainly.

After receiving the answer, Fatty Huo glanced left and right, and his expression became more and more surprised.

"coffin?"

Fatty Huo muttered, his hand was not idle, he was busy changing the magazine of the pistol: "Look at the decoration of this place does not look like a modern style, isn't it an ancient tomb?"

"I can't tell." Chen Xian said, shaking his flashlight around, "The relief murals here have been corroded to almost the same extent, and the original appearance cannot be seen, and the outlines are a bit blurry... Uncle Huo, Can you see what dynasty this is from?"

"I'm not an archaeology expert, where do I know where the dynasty is going?" Fatty Huo said helplessly.

Chen Xian showed a rare smile and asked, "Go and have a look?"

Fatty Huo naturally knew what Chen Xian wanted to do, so he hurriedly changed the magazine to prepare.

Seeing that Fatty Huo had no objection, Chen Xian took him to the northeast corner.

"Xiao Chen, if it's really a coffin... the stuff in the coffin won't deceive the corpse, right?"

"possible."

"Then let's go this way... won't we underestimate the enemy?" Fatty Huo asked cautiously, seeing that Chen Xian didn't respond, he hurriedly added a few words, "I've seen corpses in ancient tombs. There's no good thing about it!"

"Don't worry, it's alright." Chen Xian comforted, "As long as it dares to jump out, I can press it back again."

Hearing this, Fatty Huo relaxed a little and was less nervous, but when he thought about what he had experienced before, he still felt a little creepy.

Going to the front line to deal with these abnormal beings... It's really not a job for humans!

Fatty Huo murmured in his heart, but with Chen Xian present, he didn't dare to complain too much, he followed carefully, his small eyes rolled around, and he watched the surrounding wind and grass with full energy.

The closer he got to the northeast corner, the more abnormality Chen Xian discovered in this "burial chamber".

Especially when walking to the middle part of this "cemetery", Chen Xian stopped abruptly and lowered his head as if observing something.

Fatty Huo also hurriedly stopped, seeing Chen Xian looking down, he also learned to lower his head.

There is a huge red pattern on the ground, which is generally composed of three circles of different sizes, one ring on top of another.

Three talismans are drawn in the smallest circle.

In the medium-sized circle, there are many abstract and fuzzy figures of little people.

As for the biggest circle... it's all characters.

The fonts of those talismans are very small and densely packed together. In this circle of about three or four square meters, at least hundreds or even thousands of talismans have been drawn!

The paint to outline this pattern should be cinnabar, which can be seen from the taste and the feedback under the light.

"This seems to be a battle." Chen Xian said suddenly, his eyes became a little deeper, as if he was remembering, "I remember seeing it in the department's information..."

The information in the department is very complicated, ranging from astronomy to geography. Ordinary people can't read it all in a lifetime. In addition, these materials are not public and need to be purchased at a high price, so Chen Xian also talked to most of the employees. In the same way, they are all selective to buy materials that apply to themselves.

He has bought some research reports on abnormal life, some special tutorials on dealing with abnormal life, and some religious science books.

Two years ago, he bought a document called "Wanzhen Guangji".

The person who provided this information is the previous celestial master of Longhu Mountain. It is said that it is part of the information extracted from the ancient books in the Longhu Mountain collection. The original author is a Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty. Wind name.

The general content of this information is the popular science array, such as some common Taoist arrays, or some unorthodox folk arrays, etc.

There is only a rough explanation and description in the material, and there is no way to break the formation, but fortunately it is a material with illustrations, so Chen Xian can also read it as an encyclopedia.

There is an illustration of a formation, which is very similar to this pattern on the ground.

After carefully recalling it for a while, Chen Xian can already conclude that the illustration of that formation is at least 95% similar to the pattern on the ground. If nothing else, it should be that formation!

Only that array can explain everything.

Why did the people in the mental hospital not kill Hong Jinxi to silence him after taking the key, but put him back and turned himself in, which led to Fatty Huo and the others...

"Uncle Huo, there should be quite a few enemies in our department, right?" Chen Xian asked coldly.

Hearing this question, Fatty Huo nodded subconsciously, and said, "That's for sure, we have to deal with unruly aliens in the country, and we are responsible for dealing with unruly abnormal beings. How many enemies can you?"

After speaking, Fatty Huo frowned, as if he realized something.

"Why are you asking this?"

"Didn't you understand why they let Hong Jinxi go?" Chen Xian raised his finger and pointed to the map on the ground, and said meaningfully, "The answer lies in this battle."

"This is a battle?" Fatty Huo was stunned for a moment: "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Chen Xian nodded, recalled the description in the document, and said to Fatty Huo, "This formation originated from a northern folk dharma branch of the Taoist branch. It first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and it was called Luoshen formation."

Death, as the name suggests, refers to people who die of starvation.

In Taoist terms, most of those who died of starvation were unwilling after death, with three souls angered and seven souls resentful.

But this only speaks of their souls, what about their flesh?

The same is true of the flesh, and even more so.

Relevant records can be found in limited data records, no matter ancient or modern, once the starving corpse is channeled into the sun to cause the corpse to rise, most of the consequences are very serious.

The Falling Death Array is a special corpse control formation. From the name, it can be seen that the corpses it controls are mainly starved to death.

According to the records of the "Wanzhen Guangji", the corpses controlled by the Luoshenzhen are called Xiexie, and they are extremely difficult to deal with.

One of the most important is one more point.

As long as someone dies within the range that the Hunger Death Array can affect, the corpse of the deceased will become a new mourner.

The only way to restrain this formation is to break the formation, but it is clearly mentioned in the data.

There is no solution to the disaster.

The general meaning of this sentence is that the death array is almost equal to a natural disaster, and there is no way to break it.

"According to you, this is an unsolvable situation?" Fatty Huo frowned tightly.

"Almost." Chen Xian squatted on the ground, stroking the three talismans in the middle of the formation, "This is the eye of the formation, there should be a magic weapon for the formation to be inserted on the talisman, but there is no magic weapon here. .... it can only mean that the battle was a failure."

"Who do you think made the formation?" Fatty Huo asked.

Chen Xian smiled and said, "Maybe it is the dean. After all, he is the only one on this floor, and there is no one else."

"The formation failed..." Fatty Huo frowned more and more tightly, "What will happen if the formation succeeds?"

Chen Xian stroked the map on the ground, as if he was viewing a piece of art, and asked Fatty Huo without raising his head, "Have you ever seen anyone else go fishing?"

Fatty Huo hummed and said he had seen it.

"It's possible, I'm just saying it's possible... The dean and the others let Hong Jinxi go because they want to use him as bait. Since they know about the key, they must also know that Hong Jinxi is being hunted by you, and that you are also looking for him. That key."

"Hong Jinxi surrendered. You will definitely come forward to ask him for the keys. If you come and go, you can only be led by the nose to this mental hospital."

"The corpses of the patients kneeling in the square should be the mortal evil they plan to control with the Falling Death Formation. As for why they are still breathing when this formation fails... I can't explain that."

"All in all, they set up the formation to kill people. They guessed in advance that you would come, so they made so many preparations that they were afraid that you would not come."

"If there is no accident, before you get the full reinforcement of the headquarters, you must die as many as you want, and even I can't protect you."

"They want to take us all in one pot?" Fatty Huo's eyes widened, and his expression was startled and angry, "Isn't the motherfucker's handwriting too big?! Hundreds of patients are deployed to kill us?? What kind of deep hatred?"

"I also want to know what kind of deep hatred you have." Chen Xian glanced at Fatty Huo, then turned his head and muttered to himself, "But there is one thing I don't understand, they opened their doors in Ningchuan City. After so many years of mental hospital, wouldn't it really be just for a key? The thief king is in Ningchuan and they are in Ningchuan? Are you so patient..."

"I can't tell." Fatty Huo sneered, "The value of that key is immeasurable to a caring person."

"Why do I think there are other reasons..." Chen Xian muttered.

"Maybe you think too much." Fatty Huo said.

Chen Xian raised his head and glanced at him. Although his tone was a little uncertain, his eyes were very sure.

"It's not that I think too much, it's my intuition..."

With that said, Chen Xian turned his head and looked at the strange reliefs around him, his eyes became more and more certain.

"I always feel that there is another secret hidden here... Maybe a secret that has nothing to do with the key."
