In the darkness, Chu Xunyu turned his face and asked coldly: "What does it have to do with this ghost thing?"

"What?" Guan Yue was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, Chu Xunyu suddenly asked such a question, but he still replied with a smile: "Why did Brother Chu ask such a question? We have no other intention."

"No other intention?" Chu Xunyu sneered: "Then I want to ask, when did the people in the Demon Sect be so interested in saving mortals? The actions of the two of you coming down first are really overwhelming."

Mei Wan sighed softly and said, "Forget it, Senior Brother Guanyue, let's tell the truth. After all, this is not a big deal, so as not to cause misunderstandings."

Guan Yue shook her head helplessly and said, "Brother Chu really misunderstood. We have no other intentions. We had already discovered this matter yesterday. We knew that there was a listener here nearby. We knew that Brother Chu and Senior Wangchen would definitely come here to check it out carefully. We don't want to be too troublesome. After all, finding that lamp is the goal, so we kept it silent. Today, Shang Qian talked about this matter, everyone came, and my junior sister and I knew that this matter could not be stopped like this. At first we thought it was just a few villains of the Demon Sect casting spells here, so we wanted to go down first and deal with these people directly, so we should not delay our goal. Who knows that when we came down, the matter was probably not as simple as we thought. Instead, it caused Brother Chu's misunderstanding. This is the original beginning and the end. I hope it won't bring any barriers to us."

"It's that simple reason?" Chu Xunyu asked with some disbelief.

"It's true." Guanyue nodded and said, "If Brother Chu doesn't believe it, we can make a devil oath for this matter to prove our innocence."

"Okay, then swear." Chu Xunyu replied with a calm expression.

"What? Fellow Taoist Siyi, don't bully others too much. Do you don't believe us? You know that the demons in your heart should not stand lightly." Mei Wan said a little angrily, and his gentle voice echoed in the dark passage for a long time.

"Since you are telling the truth, why don't you dare to stand up?" Chu Xunyu looked at Mei Wan in the dark, and suddenly his face changed, and he said, "Unless, your words are false."

"There is no fraud." Guan Yue said with a bitter smile: "Every sentence we are true. The purpose of coming down is nothing more than to solve it quickly. I didn't expect that there was something strange about this. I hope Brother Chu believes us."

"Believe you? Are you kidding?" Chu Xunyu chuckled in the darkness and asked back, "Along the way, you Hongdao Sect people have always followed us. For this behavior, I'm telling me about trust? I'm joking."

Mei Wan couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, and wanted to say something. At this time, Guanyue grabbed her sleeve and said, "Whether you believe it or not, it seems that what's happening now is indeed related to us."

"Oh, are you telling the truth at this time?"

"No," Guan Yue shook her head and said, "Brother Chu, please see, isn't the eyes carved on this ghost-headed stone statue the pattern on the black lamp? It is also a symbol that is only common among our predecessors of Hongdao Sect. Now it seems that this place does have something to do with our Hongdao Sect."

After a pause, Guanyue continued: "The problem now is whether Brother Chu wants to go in or see, and see what the story is behind it. If you don't want to, then we will go out now and make a decision. If you want to go in, then we should not discuss any credit issues here. It is best to find a way to go in first."

Chu Xunyu turned around and looked at the ghost head in the dark. The thing seemed to be staring at him with triangular eyes, sneering something. He had wanted to go in and take a look, but the two of them in front of him were also a trouble and could not have any impact on him. He turned his head and said, "So, what do you two say about this mark now?"

"It's not clear yet." Mei Wan said: "My father never mentioned the meaning of this stone statue to me. When I first saw this stone statue, the surprise in my heart was probably not inferior to that of Senior Brother Chu, so I think it's urgent. We should join hands in and take a look. If we think of any clues, we will tell Senior Brother Chu, so please rest assured of this."

"Yes," Guanyue nodded in agreement: "If you want to go in and see the situation inside, I'm afraid Brother Chu is more anxious than any of us, so you can't delay other issues. If we have conflicts now, we will inevitably fight and both sides will suffer. This situation will not be seen by both of us. Please be sure to believe us."

Chu Xunyu looked at the stone statue. In this small dark passage, the stone statue was always staring at everyone. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I trust you now, but if there are any clues, please tell me. If I have any other thoughts, don't blame Chu for turning against others."

"No, let's look in front of you." Guanyue nodded.

At this time, everyone was looking at the chains on the ghost head, and they were much more careful. The chains on both sides of the darkness were engraved with the characters Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Kun, Gen, Kan, and Xun. At this time, Mei Wan chuckled and said, "Isn't this the Bagua of Zhouyi? It's very simple. If you turn the right direction, you can open it."

Chu Xunyu shook his head and said, "Although there are Bagua, it is not Zhouyi. In my opinion, it may be Guizangyi."

"Guizangyi?"

"Yes," Chu Xunyu continued: "The order of the Eight Trigrams of Zhou Yi is Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Kun, Gen, Kan, and Xun, but what is engraved here is the opposite. In my opinion, it may be Gui Zang Yi."

"Everyone says there are three types of Yi, namely "Lianshan", the second is "Guizang", and the third is "Zhouyi". The first two have been lost before the Han Dynasty. How could there be here? I'm afraid this lock will not be easy to open." Guan Yue said in surprise.

"Then in this way, we can just use the Taoist method to blow open the lock," Mei Wan suggested.

"Silly way," Chu Xunyu replied contemptuously: "We are not showing our spiritual consciousness here, so what is behind this wall is unknown. If you blast it opens directly, who knows what will happen inside."

"What?" Mei Wan asked back: "If this was Gui Zangyi, what had been lost long ago, how could it be opened?"

"I believe Brother Chu came from an ancient family, so I'm afraid there would be a way out." Guan Yue smiled relaxedly at this time.

"Yes," Chu Xunyu replied calmly: "There are records of the classics in the family. Although they have been lost for a long time and are not detailed, it is still more than enough to unlock the lock."

"Oh?" Guanyue nodded, "Then we will be lucky enough to watch Brother Chu's methods."

Chu Xunyu said nothing, walked up to the stone statue, stretched out his hands, touched the iron rings on both sides, suddenly turned his head, and said in a cold voice: "Finally, let me say something more, no one knows what is behind this door, it is his own thing to go in. If there is any danger here, no one will blame others."

"I don't know." Mei Wan said lightly.

Chu Xunyu nodded, turned around and looked at the circle, and said to himself: "The opposite of the Guizang Yi Gua is the one with Gan, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun. It corresponds to Gui, Zang, Sheng, Chang, Sheng, Shu, and Kill the eight gates. There are listening to resentment here, which means that there are many killings. It should be the killing of the gold energy on the left, corresponding to Dui, and the killing of the corpse on the right, symbolizing the repeated killing, the killing of the gods and the opening."

As the sound fell, Chu Xunyu turned the largest iron rings on both sides at the same time. With a click, the iron hooks at the corners of the mouth on both sides of the stone statue were released, and the stone beam in his mouth also released at the same time, falling to the ground, jumping back and forth for a few times, and there was no sound.

"Is this gone?" Guanyue looked around, without any change, and asked, "That's it?"

At this time, Chu Xunyu himself was also looking around in confusion. Logically speaking, the lock was open, and it should be the right method, but there was no movement around him.

While everyone was looking around, a sparse sound of falling soil came into their ears. Everyone looked at the source of the sound in the dark. It turned out that the soil behind the ghost-headed stone statue was slowly falling. Suddenly, the ghost-headed head loosened and fell on the ground with a muffled sound. A black hole appeared in the original inlay. Along the upper and lower ends, the stone wall began to slowly loosen, and endless dust fell down, and gradually opened in the dark with a squeaking gasp.

The stone wall was divided into two sides, widening and wider, floating around with endless dust, and a stinking smell rushed towards us. The three of them hurriedly covered their noses and stood back. When the dust disappeared, everyone looked inside carefully, but there was darkness inside, and it seemed like there were a lot of things inside.

Chu Xunyu touched the sword and said, "Let's go." He turned around and went in. Guanyue and Meiwan immediately followed him in. This was a square room, not big, but it was filled with things. Before he could see clearly what it was, Meiwan seemed to see a chair beside him, with a circular object on it. He was curious and picked it up, just in the dark. When he looked carefully, he found that it was a small iron ring with many wooden nails stuck on it. He was a little strange and asked, "What is this?"

Guanyue heard the sound, turned around and looked sideways, was startled, and said, "Is this a 'weed-brain clamp'?"

Chu Xunyu also turned around in surprise, looked at it, and said strangely: "It's really a brain wedge clamp."

Mei Wan asked curiously: "What is a brain wedge clamp?"

Guan Yue replied: "A punishment in ancient times was to put this iron ring on a person's head, then insert a wooden wedge and a nail in the gap between the iron ring and the scalp, and then use an iron hammer to hit it hard. The torture person had a split headache until his brain was overflowing and died. This is a torture instrument used for prisoners in the Tang Dynasty."

When Mei Wan heard this, she felt disgusted. She quickly put the ring back to its original position and rubbed her hands secretly. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong. She lowered her head and screamed in surprise. She seemed particularly harsh in the darkness. She saw a little bit of blood stained with blood, which seemed fresh. Guan Yue and Chu Xunyu were shocked and quickly took out a fire note and blew it up. A small flame as big as a soybean rose up and emitted a dim light, which could barely see the surroundings.

When everyone saw the surroundings, they felt chills. It turned out that this small room was filled with various torture instruments, both large and small, and the blood stains on it had not yet dried up. It seemed that everything here was still yesterday, including chiseling, ribs, woks, eye spears, tongue hooks, etc. It was all right. At first glance, it seemed that the screams of the tortured person were still lingering in his ears. Guanyue folded the fan, bent down, and looked at the pair of foot hooks on the wall with a wisp of fresh minced meat on the tip of the hook.

Guanyue sighed, "Where is this place?"

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly the fire broke out in Chu Xunyu's hand and the room returned to darkness. This was not a good thing. Chu Xunyu's heart tightened and he said intimately: "Here you come."
