Sequence: Waking up in the secret room and letting me play the fortune teller

The kerosene lamp went out completely, plunging the narrow room into darkness.

Qin Yangming acted decisively and picked up the Gua Banner and Sanqing Bell on the ground. He held the Gua Banner in one hand to block in front of him and the Sanqing Bell in the other hand, with his back against the wall, ready for battle.

He felt a cool breeze blowing through the room, but how could air flow be generated in an enclosed space without doors or windows?

Relying on his sixth sense, Qin Yangming felt that the unknown aura was slowly approaching him.

Feeling the breath getting closer, he had no other choice but to raise the Sanqing Bell in his hand in front of him and shook it violently.

The copper bell tongue collides with the bell wall, and the sound continues to vibrate and penetrates deep into the brain.

clang……

In addition, Qin Yangming recited the scripture he had just memorized with a trembling voice: "The Supreme Command, your lonely soul will be liberated..."

In this way, until the echo of the Sanqing Bell completely faded, the breath did not approach Qin Yangming again.

It really works. It seems that what the card says is right. If I want to survive, I have to play the role of a good "fortune teller"!

Qin Yangming felt a little more confident.

Next, just calculate another hexagram and believe in the hexagram, and you will be able to find the direction of the exit.

Qin Yangming had imagined that the exit might be a secret passage or a mechanism.

But now the room was dark and he couldn't see anything, let alone tell fortunes.

He needed to light the kerosene lamp again.

He shook his wrist and rang the Sanqing Bell again. Along with the vibrations that shook his brain, he kept chanting scriptures and squatted on the ground, groping.

Relying on the direction he remembered, he quickly found the kerosene lamp.

All that is left is to light the kerosene lamp and toss a coin to tell fortunes.

However, when he turned the knob on the kerosene lamp holder and lit the kerosene lamp, he saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

The wick of the kerosene lamp started to burn, and the light radiated through the gourd-shaped lamp tube, illuminating Qin Yangming's shadow.

And the shadow that looked like a young woman once again lay on Qin Yangming's shoulder.

"Ha ha……"

A burst of sweet laughter reached Qin Yangming's ears.

"I like your shadow so much, why don't you make it happen for us?"

A chill rose from the soles of Qin Yangming's feet and went straight to his head.

At this moment, he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, hide there and never come out.

But there is no cave for him to live in, only an unknown existence following him like a shadow.

He trembled and said, "You mean... you like my shadow?"

He saw that the shadow of the young woman lying on his shoulder became even bolder and directly wrapped her arms around her own shadow's neck.

Qin Yangming felt a tingling sensation on his neck, but actually there was nothing there.

"Of course I've fallen in love with him!"

She said in a sweet voice, the "he" she was referring to was Qin Yangming's shadow.

Qin Yangming suppressed the fear in his heart, shook his wrist, and rang the Sanqing Bell in his hand again.

He stumbled over the words as he recited: "Death in public or in secret, death unjustly suffered, creditor, enemy, revenger..."

However, the shadow of the young woman did not move away from him. Instead, she tilted her head, as if she was confused about what Qin Yangming was doing.

How could...how could it be useless?

Qin Yangming was very anxious. What on earth was this strange thing? Why was there only its shadow and no one saw it?

"Haha, let's save some effort!"

As he spoke, Qin Yangming saw that the young woman's shadow actually threw his own shadow to the ground.

However, his body clearly did not move...

The beautiful figure raised her head and seemed to be smiling at Qin Yangming.

"You're welcome!"

As she spoke, the beautiful figure slowly opened her mouth, which opened wider and wider until her entire ears were cracked.

She's going to eat my shadow!

The shadow of the young woman had now turned into a monster with a bloody mouth, and was about to eat up Qin Yangming's shadow in the next second.

Qin Yangming stood up and ran away. He thought that if he moved, his shadow would move with him.

However, he clearly saw that his shadow was pressed tightly under her. He wanted to struggle, but could not move at all.

What should I do? The Three Pure Ones Bells and the scriptures have no effect. Is this what the card means by "a great disaster is coming"?

"Hehehe..."

The monster's sharp, jagged teeth had already touched the edge of Qin Yangming's shadow, and Qin Yangming himself even felt a pain from his soul.

If you don’t think of a solution, you’re going to die!

Qin Yangming was anxious. Shadow, shadow, how could such a terrifying shadow appear?

An extra shadow? There is a shadow only where there is light!

Qin Yangming acted decisively, picked up the kerosene lamp on the ground and extinguished the flame inside.

As the dim lights disappeared, the room became dark and the two shadows disappeared.

Qin Yangming clearly felt that the pain from the depths of his soul had disappeared.

The cold breath appeared again and began to approach Qin Yangming.

He quickly rang the Sanqing Bell and chanted scriptures, and he firmly believed that it would work this time!

Sure enough, the cold breath was always hovering half a meter away from him and did not get closer.

Qin Yangming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Humph! Can you keep shaking that broken bell? Keep reciting that text?"

The cold female voice said resentfully.

Qin Yangming knew that although he would not be killed by the monster immediately, he was already in a dilemma.

If he wanted to divine the exit of the room, he would light a kerosene lamp and see the hexagram clearly.

Once the kerosene lamp is lit, the monster's shadow will eat up one's own shadow. At this time, no matter how much you shake the Sanqing Bell or recite scriptures, it will be of no use.

This only worked if the kerosene lamp was not lit.

It seemed as if the kerosene lamp protected the monster.

Qin Yangming said: "You have a close relationship with the kerosene lamp!"

In other words, the kerosene lamp is the real body of this shadow-eating monster.

He had always wondered why this room used kerosene lamps as a light source instead of modern electric lights.

It's just that there are too many suspicious things in this room, so this is not surprising.

The cold female voice was exposed, but she was not angry. The voice came from an empty place: "So what? You are going to die in my hands!"

Qin Yangming was silent. Is this really a situation where he is bound to die?

But if the person who brought me here wanted to kill me, why would I go through so much trouble?

And if it wasn't to kill himself, then what was his purpose?

Purpose? He remembered the words on the card. Every step seemed to be a lure for him to play the role of a fortune teller!

Therefore, it is impossible for that person to put himself in a situation where he is bound to die, but he must have other deeper purposes.

The heavens have forty-nine, and man escapes one of them.

Qin Yangming suddenly realized something, as if he had thought of something, and said:

"How can you be so sure that I can't get out?"

The cold female voice said mockingly: "How are you going to get out? You don't dare to light the kerosene lamp!"

"A fortune teller can't see his own divination. Hahaha. It's so funny!"

The female voice was no longer cold, but replaced with a charming and seductive tone, and she said to Qin Yangming earnestly: "How about this? You light the kerosene lamp, and I won't eat you..."

Qin Yangming sneered. Does this monster think he is stupid?

"Who told you that you have to read it to know the hexagram you calculated?"

Qin Yangming's voice came faintly, and the monster seemed to be stunned and could not speak for a while.

Qin Yangming placed the hexagram banner in his hand against the wall and took out a copper coin from his arms.

"You want to tell fortunes? But how can you ..."

It seemed that the monster could see in the dark, but it didn't matter anymore.

Qin Yangming threw the copper coin upward with one hand, and after a long period of free fall, the coin landed steadily in the palm of Qin Yangming's hand.

Qin Yangming rubbed his fingers and stroked the copper coin carefully in his hands.

The monster seemed to know Qin Yangming's intention and shouted anxiously:

"How is it possible? How could you?"

Qin Yangming ignored the monster's roar. He carefully felt the touch of the upward side of the coin to infer whether it was positive or negative.

"I'm going to eat you. I can only get out after I eat you!"

The monster roared madly, and the kerosene lamp that fell to the ground moved by itself, rolling on the ground and making a gurgling sound.

There seemed to be a faint spark flickering at the wick inside.

The four big characters on the front of Qianlong Tongbao are distributed on the top, bottom, left and right, while there are two Manchu characters on the left and right on the back. It is not difficult to identify whether it is front or back by touch.

After a while, Qin Yangming found out the first copper coin with the front side facing up.

Qin Yangming then threw out the second coin, and this time his movements were faster.

"what!"

The monster was roaring madly, as if using all its strength to force the flame of the kerosene lamp to ignite.

The second coin was tails, so he threw out the third one.

This time, as soon as the coin fell into his palm, he felt the front and back of it and it was heads.

Anyway, it is the Li Gua, which belongs to fire and corresponds to the due east direction.

At this time, a tiny flame on the wick of the kerosene lamp finally ignited, and the shadow of the monster and Qin Yangming both emerged.

The monster's shadow seemed very weak at this time, but it still tried its best to pounce on Qin Yangming's shadow.

Qin Yangming knew that he could move with his shadow before it touched his shadow.

He rushed to the portrait of the Three Pure Ones hanging on the east wall and tore it off.

Sure enough, with the light of the kerosene lamp, a hole hidden behind the portrait suddenly appeared.

He climbed directly onto the square table, swept the incense burner and offerings on it with one arm, and crawled into the cave with his body bent.

"Come back! I won't eat you anymore! Come back!"

A somewhat miserable cry was heard from the monster behind him, with a pleading tone in its voice.

It was impossible to go back, so Qin Yangming stuffed the Sanqing Bell and three copper coins into the arms of his long gown, held the hexagram flag in one hand, and crawled in the narrow passage using his hands and feet.

The passage is so narrow that only one person can barely pass through at a time.

After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Qin Yangming saw a bright light coming from a cave entrance in the distance.

Finally, he crawled out of the passage. The dazzling light made him unable to adapt for a moment, and he squinted his eyes.

You can vaguely see that it is a large room with a large round table in the middle.

Before he could fully open his eyes, a somewhat impatient voice came.

"Why did you come just now? Everyone is waiting for you!"
