Chapter 12 The Most Beautiful Xiangxi (12)

What is this?

Wei Xun, who had never seen the world, was not afraid, and took the light golden ball from Shi Tao with a calm expression.

Huh?

When the golden ball was in his hand, he saw its use in his mind, and a slight exclamation flashed through his heart. Shi Tao took out a good thing, and it was only useful for tour guides.

[Name: New Scenic Spot Experience Ball]

[Quality: Rare]

[Function: It can increase the progress of opening up new attractions by 45%, and the experience ball will disappear after use]

[Note: The hotel does not encourage taking shortcuts. When you use the experience ball to complete the opening up of new attractions, you may encounter some ‘small’ troubles! ]

It turns out that there is such a thing.

“Who gave it to you?”

Wei Xun asked suddenly, and Shi Tao, who was nervous and waiting for all his energy on Wei Xun, subconsciously answered:

“Brother.”

I understand, Shi Tao has a good relationship with a big brother who was also selected by the hotel.

The other party is estimated to have a high status and strength, and can contact higher-level tour guides, or he himself is a high-level tour guide. And he cares about Shi Tao very much.

The rare experience ball is worth a lot of money, but the other party gave it to Shi Tao and asked Shi Tao to use it to bribe Bing Jiu. This is not only a show of goodwill, but also a display of strength, showing off his muscles to Bing Jiu.

I am very powerful/I know a powerful tour guide.

Don't touch my brother, or you will be in trouble.

If Bing Jiu is interested in the experience ball, he will not touch Shi Tao, and he will even protect him. If his brother can take out an experience ball, there may be more experience balls.

If Bing Jiu is not interested in the experience ball, no one will hate people who take the initiative to please him with things. Not to mention taking special care of Shi Tao, at least they will not deliberately torture him.

If Bing Jiu is a madman and pervert——

It can only be regarded as Shi Tao's bad luck, and the whole brigade is unlucky together, which can be regarded as "everyone is equal".

Wei Xun tossed the experience ball, put it away with his backhand, and looked at Shi Tao with a little more interest in his eyes.

This is a good opportunity to get information.

Shi Tao didn't look very smart, and now he blocked the live broadcast, so he was alone with Shi Tao——

Wei Xun pretended to be indifferent to the experience ball, and quietly asked Shi Tao for information.

* *

The door of the second family was still closed.

Bing Jiu had been in for half an hour and hadn't come out yet.

Lin Xi felt cold. He was wearing pajamas, squatting outside the door with his knees hugged. The cold wind blew and he shivered. It was completely dark, and the coldness of the rain and the smell of decayed corpses hit him. There were a few lights on, but they looked like faint candlelight, which made it even more gloomy.

Lin Xi felt scared, and he leaned closer to the door, as if he could gain some sense of security.

In the 180-degree corpse view room, you can see rows of corpses standing in the patio from the corridor. The darkness blurred their terrifying faces, and they looked like terracotta warriors.

But Lin Xi was still very scared. He looked away as if he was burned by fire. He wanted to shrink into Bingjiu's bed, and wanted to greedily sniff Bingjiu's breath, no matter how he was tormented.

With Bingjiu, as long as Bingjiu was there, he didn't have to be afraid.

But...

Lin Xi leaned closer to the door and closed his eyes tightly. He wouldn't knock on the door, and he wouldn't do anything that Bingjiu hated.

'You have to be more useful. '

Lin Xi covered his ears, but couldn't dispel Miao Fangfei's voice.

But the more he thought about it, the more clearly Lin Xi remembered what she said when she passed by him, and the look of pity.

'Bingjiu has changed. If you don't change with him, you will be abandoned by him sooner or later'

She is just a woman with a face value of only 68, he doesn't need her pity!

Miao Fangfei can only rely on herself, but he can rely on Bingjiu!

Lin Xi's face became more and more gloomy, but his heart was empty. How long has it been since he last thought of the past life surrounded by spotlights, with thousands of fans cheering, stage lights falling, and being surrounded by spotlights?

There is no end to the terrifying journey, and thinking too much will make people collapse and go crazy.

Lin Xi had seen people go crazy because of fear, and had also seen people who thought they had feelings and tried to ask for more from Bing Jiu.

Later, they were all abandoned by Bing Jiu and died on the journey.

The prettier one died, and Bing Jiu fell in love with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi had long been accustomed to not thinking too much, not asking too much, and not asking too much.

What does Bing Jiu look like?

Don't think about it.

How long will Bing Jiu protect him?

Don't think about it.

Live one day at a time.

But... he is not a cold-blooded monster like Bing Jiu who is not afraid. Lin Xi is also afraid, and is about to collapse. He knew that he was just a plaything for Bing Jiu. As long as he met someone prettier, Bing Jiu would naturally abandon him.

Lin Xi thought he had been mentally prepared, but now he was increasingly afraid to think about the miserable situation after being abandoned.

He was brought to the intermediate three stars by Bing Jiu, but he did not have the strength to match the intermediate three stars.

When did he become more and more paranoid and crazy? The higher the rank, the more miserable the death, he was like drinking poison to quench thirst.

Especially when thinking of the extremely high score of appearance he saw when he got on the bus, Lin Xi felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.

If he couldn't even compare to Bingjiu in appearance.

Then what's the point of Bingjiu keeping him?

'You have to become more useful'

Lin Xi shuddered and hugged his knees more tightly, as if he had just realized that the road ahead was an unfathomable cliff. And he had no way to advance or retreat.

In the end, Lin Xi didn't knock on the door, he left quietly from the door.

Passengers are very tired after a long day, not to mention they have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning. No one is exploring tonight, they are all sleeping to replenish their energy.

* *

At five o'clock in the morning the next day, the rain had not stopped and it was pitch dark. All the passengers arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the inn in time.

"Roll roll."

Although most of the passengers have practiced the skill of being able to fall asleep instantly no matter what the situation is, the dangers of drunken Xiangxi, the corpses in the courtyard, the coffins in the main room, and the damp and musty bedding all gave them a lot of trouble. A lot of pressure.

Most of the passengers didn't sleep well and seemed a little out of sorts.

In comparison, Bingjiu, who had slept soundly and was wearing clean and fresh new clothes, looked particularly eye-catching!

Wei Xun lazily finished ordering the orders for families No. 1 to 5. He was carrying many hand-sized batik cloth bags with Xiangxi characteristics in his hands, which attracted the attention of the tourists.

"Now I will distribute the Xiangxi Corpse Extraction Package to everyone. Please keep it well and do not damage it."

Wei Xun's voice surrounded the empty hall, and the echo seemed a bit eerie.

"Otherwise, you will die violently during the rest of the trip."

coming!

So the passenger immediately concentrated his attention and his eyes were fixed on the batik bag in Bingjiu's hand. The faces of the passengers who received the batik bag from him and opened it to see the contents were even more clouded.

Shi Tao, who had difficulty moving, deftly untied the tether with one hand and poured the contents of the bag into his hands.

The first thing that fell out were two cards connected together.

[Xiangxi Corpse Hunting Package], including [Xiangxi Corpse Hunting Experience Coupon] and [Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Coupon - Handmade Corpses]

Shi Tao's expression suddenly changed!

[Xiangxi Corpse Driving Experience Coupon: Corpse driving is a part of Xiangxi witchcraft. Together with Poison Poison and Luohua Cave Girl, it is also known as the Three Evils of Xiangxi. Passengers holding this coupon will enjoy the experience of chasing corpses, one person and one corpse, and the corpses will never be reused! Thriller Global Hotel, the best choice for travelers! 】

"It's a corpse hunt!"

Zhao Hongtu is young, like a high school student, but has a very violent temper: "We have to deal with the body with our own hands!"

"Good guy, it's cinnabar."

The fat man poured out a small bag made of yellow talisman paper from the batik cloth bag, twisted some of the deep red powder inside with his fingers, put it to his nose and smelled it, shook his head and said:

"It should be the Western method."

"Western style?"

Miao Fangfei looked solemn and spread the contents of the cloth bag on the table. In addition to the cinnabar wrapped in yellow paper, there was also a stack of slender yellow charms, several colorful ribbons, and a thin "Old Craft: Preparing Corpses" manual.

"Have you ever heard of the Miao team saying that tomb robbers are divided into north and south, and corpses are chased to discuss east and west?"

Miao Fangfei was the strongest in the team, so she naturally became the captain of the temporary team. After hearing the fat man's words, her expression moved slightly, thoughtfully. Zhao Hongtu, who had a bad temper, interrupted:

"Isn't this based on a tomb-robbing novel, about touching the golden captain and removing the powerful warrior from the mountain?"

"Hey, Brother Zhao is right."

The fat man gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "There are southern and northern factions of tomb robbers. Because the regions and geology are different, the methods used are also different. Let's just say that the loess in the north is dry, there is less rain, and most of the tombs are inhumations. I want to make a conclusion. Where the tomb is, you have to learn to 'see' the soil. During the Republic of China, a tomb robber named Li Yaya in Luoyang invented the Luoyang shovel. He could dig out the soil with a shovel and an experienced person could tell it at a glance. Is there a tomb down there?”

"The southern school of tomb robbing is different. Just like traditional Chinese medicine, it also pays attention to looking, smelling and asking. Looking means looking at Feng Shui. In the past, choosing a cemetery was very particular, and you had to look at the sand and water of the dragon's cave. Smell means smelling the smell. This is different in different dynasties. Tomb soil The things inside are also different. For example, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a lot of mercury filling, but after the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was changed to green paste mud. I asked the locals to find out the names of the places, such as Wupo Tomb and Jiangjun Tomb. "Everything with 'grave', 'kiln', 'ling', 'tomb' and 'mound' must be written down."

"Why do you know so much?"

Listening to the fat man talking about tomb robbing, Zhao Hongtu had a strange look on his face and looked up and down: "There seems to be a fat man named Wang in the tomb robbing articles. Could it be that your Wang family specializes in tomb robbing? Grave robbing is illegal!"

"Little brother, don't talk nonsense!"

The fat man almost jumped up, and spoke righteously: "Robbing tombs is a bad thing. My king, Pengpai, wants to live a long life. Serious people don't do this. Fatty, if I engage in tomb robbing, I will have a son with no butt and eyes!" "

"Brother Wang, don't be angry. What you said about driving away corpses and dividing things was also divided by region?"

Shi Tao reconciled and asked worriedly: "Which side will drive the zombies more ferociously?"

"It's not a question of whether the zombies are ferocious or not. The main thing is that the Eastern and Western factions have different methods."

The fat man was not really angry. After being persuaded for a few words, he continued to talk: "The corpse driving originated in Guchenzhou, and Xiangxi is considered the hometown of corpse driving. Going back to the time of Chiyou in ancient times, the emphasis is on a person. The soul returned to its homeland. The real division between the east and west factions was the separation of the Ruan Jiangma family in the late Qing Dynasty. "

"At that time, Ma Shiyi went abroad to study. He saw many hard-working people in our country die in foreign lands, and he couldn't bear it, so he thought of using corpse-driving to bring them back. As a result, he took in apprentices in America and modified the spell, which violated the taboo of the Ma family."

"The traditional corpse-driving in Xiangxi is actually very closed. You can't cross Dongting Lake to the north, you can only go to Jingzhou to the east, you can only go to Fuzhou and Wuzhou to the west, and you can only go to Yunnan and Guizhou to the southwest. Not to mention going abroad to drive corpses, it's impossible to go to the northeast."

Wei Xun was eavesdropping on the side, listening intently. Seeing the fat man showing off his mystery, he asked with interest: "What happened next?"

When Wei Xun said this, the whole place was silent, and all the passengers turned their heads to look at him, their faces full of astonishment. The fat man's round face was stiff, and he smiled awkwardly:

"Bing, Director Bing, are you still there?"
