MMB Chapter 222
Chapter 222
He Guanghong and Peng Wei were also among them. After reconciling with Professor Chen and Tian Xuan, the situation on each other's sides became clear.
——They all recognized this hospital as the hospital where they were sent to after the avalanche two years ago, and it was also the hospital that was hit by a fire not long ago and not many people survived.
This also means that at this moment, everyone in this hospital is actually dead, except for them, of course.
Most importantly, they are now trapped in the hospital with no way out.
Wu Xiajiu deliberately stood beside Professor Chen and Tian Xuan, while the other side was full of passengers.
There seemed to be an invisible boundary between them, with NPCs on one side and passengers on the other.
While Professor Chen, Peng Wei and the others were discussing with each other, Shi Shangzuo, Xie Pang and other passengers were also discussing in a low voice.
Wu Xia looked over without a trace for a long time, including Zuo and Xie Pang, there were seven passengers in total, and he had seen the registration list of this reincarnation train.
There are two new passengers in total, but I don't know which two of them they are.
At this moment, one of the passengers came over and asked Professor Chen and the others, "Do you know anything?"
"What's the matter with the bloody roc on our chest?"
The passenger called Horn. After they got off the reincarnation train, they saw the snow-capped mountains in front of them, a vast expanse of whiteness.
Immediately afterwards, everyone felt unbearable pain in their chests, and when they opened their collars to check, the scarlet roc bird pattern emerged.
And not long after, they couldn't resist the sudden surge of dizziness, and soon passed out.
When I woke up again, I arrived at this weird hospital.
When He Guanghong heard the words, his eyes flashed, and before Professor Chen could speak, he said, "We only visited this hospital two years ago."
"As for the pattern of the roc bird...we don't know what's going on."
"Our expedition team encountered an avalanche just after entering the snow-capped mountain, and was sent to this hospital that once caught fire and disappeared. The most important thing now is to find a way to leave."
Trumpet frowned and said, "But as you can see, we can't leave this hospital at all."
"Unless we find a way to unravel the curse of the roc, do you really not know what's going on?"
Trumpet looked suspiciously at Professor Chen, He Guanghong and others.
Among them is Wu Xiajiu.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but ponder, according to the hint in the supplementary information - He Guanghong, Professor Chen, Peng Wei, and Tian Xuan went to explore the snow mountain two years ago, and got a mysterious treasure.
And they were cursed two years ago, and they can only survive for three years.
Now they form an expedition team with passengers to enter the snow mountain, just to find a way to break the curse.
However, when He Guanghong said those words, he concealed the fact that he had found the treasure in the snow mountain, and also concealed the fact that they had long been cursed.
However, the supplementary information mentioned that "the mysterious treasure was left in the hospital" - snow mountain, hospital, treasure...
The focus of lifting the curse must be to find the mysterious treasure.
However, as night falls, there are walking corpses attacking.
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but look outside the gate of the hospital. Now there are no other living people in the hospital except them. Is the walking corpse outside or inside?
For the time being, they couldn't get any clues from NPCs like He Guanghong, so Shi Shangzuo suggested that they should look for them in the hospital.
Xie Pang agreed, and the other passengers also had no objections, and soon after, they separated and left the gate of the hospital.
Before leaving, Shi Shangzuo and Wu Xiajiu looked at each other.
Wu Xiajiu understood that Ah Zuo was looking for an opportunity to exchange information.
Fifteen minutes later, in an empty ward on the third floor, Shang Zuo and Xie Pang came after Wu Xia waited for a long time.
They came in and closed the door tightly.
"Zuo." Wu Xiajiu stood up from the hospital bed, and said, "Let me see the curse on you."
After all, Shi Shangzuo just came over, and Wu Xiajiu directly reached out to open his lapel.
Shi Shangzuo didn't move on the spot, allowing Wu Xiajiu to pull away, a smile couldn't help showing at the corner of his mouth.
On his chest was the same scarlet roc bird pattern as Wu Xiajiu.
Here, after Fatty Xie closed the door, he saw the two facing each other intimately.
He couldn't help touching his chest, thinking that it's better not to show his little fat, because Z probably didn't want the temple master to see it.
So, when Wu Xia looked over for a long time, Xie Pang said cleverly: "It's the same, the scarlet roc bird pattern on my body is the same."
"The roc also has a 'swastika' symbol in its eyes."
"By the way, this should be a symbol representing Buddhism, why does it appear in the eyes of the roc?"
"Could the curse among us have something to do with Buddhism?"
Wu Xia hummed for a long time, nodded and said, "The world information prompt under the car mentioned that this is a hospital in a Tibetan area, that is, Tibet."
"Snow Mountain is naturally located in Tibet."
"About the curse, I have some guesses. Do you know the Zhang Zhung Kingdom?"
Xie Pang shook his head, he didn't know at all.
Shi Shangzuo: "The Zhang Zhung Kingdom was a tribal country that dominated the Tibetan plateau before Tubo, and the Tibetan language originated from the Zhang Zhung language."
"Shang Zhung is also the birthplace of the "Ancient Zhang Zhung Buddhism"."
"There is a saying that ancient Zhang Zhung Buddhism occupies the most supreme position in ancient Zhang Zhung's traditional culture."
"Thousands of years before Indian Buddhism was introduced to Tibet, the ancient Zhang Zhung Buddhism "Yongzhongben Religion" had been widely spread in the snow-covered plateau, and it was the most important spiritual belief of the Tibetan people."
"Yong Zhongben religion has a very high social status in the Zhang Zhung Kingdom."
Xie Pang asked in a daze: "So, the curse we are in is related to the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom?"
Wu Xiajiu: "'Yongzhong' was originally the name of the '卍'-shaped symbol, and the Buddha's heart seal '卍' is called 'Yongzhong' in Tibetan."
"'Yong Zhongben' means 'Dharma', 'Yong' means no birth, 'Zhong' means immortality, and 'Ben' means Dharma."
"No birth and no death is the Buddha, and the Dharma to achieve no birth and no death is the Dharma. Generally speaking, the method to reach the state of no birth and no death is called 'Yong Zhongben'."
"And the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom paid attention to the Mipeng bird, and undoubtedly used the Mipeng bird as a totem."
"This is related to the curse of the Mirs bird in our story."
"I guess that the mysterious treasure that He Guanghong and Professor Chen found in the snow mountain two years ago is related to the ancient Zhang Zhung Kingdom."
Mentioning this, Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang couldn't help showing doubts.
It took a long time for Wu Xia to remember that he hadn't told them the supplementary information he had obtained.
So Wu Xia talked for a long time and asked for information about other passengers.
The new passengers are two girls named Lolita and Crescent Moon.
Apart from Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang, there were three other old passengers, Nan Hongdou, Yang Gonghe, and Trumpet.
It was the loudspeaker that first spoke at the hospital gate.
Yang Gonghe is Ji Siyi's companion on the reincarnation train.
Nan Hongdou is a beautiful woman who is a companion with Trumpet.
Xie Pang said: "Should we start with Yang Gonghe and find a way to get Ji Siyi into the reincarnation train?"
Wu Xiajiu: "That's right."
"Oh." Fatty Xie nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Monastery Master, you know Buddhism very well."
Just relying on the Tibetan area, the roc bird, and the "Swastika" talisman, so much information can be deduced, if he didn't know it.
"It just so happened to do some research on this aspect." Wu Xiajiu said.
"One more thing. Since this hospital is where He Guanghong and Professor Chen woke up two years ago, the other members of the expedition team they participated in two years ago are also in this hospital at this moment."
"The supplementary information mentioned that after the avalanche, the survivors were sent to the hospital for treatment. After the fire, only He Guanghong, Professor Chen, Peng Wei, and Tian Xuan escaped."
"If we can find other survivors of the expedition two years ago in this hospital, maybe we can get some useful information."
Xie Pang heard the words, his eyes lit up, yes, we can also start from this aspect.
When Wu Xiajiu went to search for it, He Guanghong, Professor Chen, Peng Wei and Tian Xuan also got together.
He Guanghong said: "The ward where Peng Wei and I woke up is the one two years ago, how about you?"
Professor Chen nodded: "We are the same. We just feel that the ward is very familiar. It was only later that I realized that it was the hospital that burned down two years ago."
"I remember that Tian Xuan and I were the only ones in the ward at that time, and you were in another ward, and there were..."
Professor Chen didn't really want to mention this name.
He Guanghong said for him: "Shuidu, apart from the four of us, the only survivors after the avalanche were Shuidu."
"He, me, and Peng Wei are in the same ward."
"But this time when I wake up, the ward is the same as before, and so is the hospital, but there is no Shuidu in the ward."
If so, he might have been startled the moment he woke up.
Instead of leaving the ward and seeing the familiar doctors and nurses, I noticed the abnormality of this hospital.
Shui Du was a member of the same expedition team as them back then, and he was a Tibetan boy.
...It was also before leaving the snow-capped mountains that they discovered that they had taken away those mysterious treasures, and thus had a dispute with them.
Until the avalanche came and buried them all.
Finally, the five of them were found and sent to this hospital.
But Shui Du disappeared before the fire broke out in the hospital.
That's right, it's missing.
Shuidu had a dispute with them in the snow mountain, and some of the mysterious treasures were snatched by Shuidu, saying that he could not take them out of the snow mountain, otherwise it would cause disaster.
At that time, they didn't take it seriously, and even thought that Shui Du wanted to monopolize the treasure, so they had a dispute with him.
Some of the treasures they got were on them, and some were on Shuidu.
When he was sent to the hospital, that night, there was a walking dead attack inside and outside the hospital.
Before that, He Guanghong and the others wanted to find Shuidu to take away the treasure that he had robbed, but who knew that after going out of the ward for a while, when he came back, Shuidu disappeared.
Then came the horrible walking dead.
He Guanghong and others hurriedly fled for their lives.
A fire rose from nowhere and burned the hospital, and the walking dead and the people in the hospital were trapped, and the walking dead chased them with the treasure.
So as a last resort, He Guanghong and the others had to give up the treasure and escape first.
But later, they discovered that a blood-colored roc had appeared on their chest, and it would cause unbearable pain every night.
And even if you fall asleep, you will dream of the scene you encountered on the snow mountain, and you will always hear bursts of Sanskrit sounds in your ears, which is very disturbing.
As time went by, their bodies also began to weaken.
Later, when Professor Chen came to the Tibetan area alone, the symptoms were relieved.
They searched for multiple sources of information, only to find that it was a curse.
But just when they organized an expedition team, they planned to enter the snow mountain again to find a solution, but they didn't expect to encounter an avalanche as soon as they entered.
And then into the hospital.
Peng Wei is a somewhat silent middle-aged man.
At this moment, he said with an irritable expression, "What are we going to do now, the curse has not been lifted yet, and we came into this hospital again..."
Could it be that he just waited to die?
Professor Chen said: "You forgot, we can look for treasures that were not taken away in this hospital."
If you start with treasures, you might be able to unravel the curse, or leave the hospital smoothly.
Professor Chen once returned to the Tibetan area alone because of the curse, but at that time he could not find the trace of the hospital that had been burned.
Even if you ask the local people, everyone says that no hospital has been built here.
Now the hospital finally appeared in front of them. Although it was very strange, they finally grasped some clues.
Afraid of being discovered, they hid the treasures in their backpacks in a place in the hospital after waking up.
After speaking, He Guanghong, Professor Chen and others decided to take a look.
the other side.
The three of Wu Xiajiu asked at the nurse's station who were sent by the avalanche two years ago.
Since Xie Pang mentioned that He Guanghong and Peng Wei woke up, there were no other people in the ward, that is, survivors of the last avalanche.
Things have definitely changed.
Sure enough, there was no list of personnel left by the avalanche in the nurse's station.
There seems to be no clues here.
But Wu Xiajiu frowned and thought about it, and asked again: "Then how many people were sent to the hospital in this avalanche?"
The nurse in the nurse's station replied: "13 people."
Xie Pang was startled when he heard the words, lowered his head and scratched his fingers, muttered a few words, then raised his head and said to Wu Xiajiu and Shi Shangzuo, "It's not right, the number is wrong, too many."
"Passengers plus NPC should have a total of 12 people, but now there is one more person."
The total number of passengers is 7 people.
There are 5 NPCs and Wu Xiajiu in total.
Five plus seven should not be 13 people.
Another person was rescued from the snow mountain with them.
Who is that person?
Wu Xiajiu asked: "Which wards are the rescued people from the snow-capped mountains?"
"Can you show me the ward book?"
The nurse gave it to him.
Wu Xiajiu opened it to check.
This hospital has a total of six floors. The first to second floors are places for medical treatment and blood tests, and the third floor and above are the inpatient wards.
The ward where Wu Xiajiu, Professor Chen and Tian Xuan woke up was on the third floor.
The ward where He Guanghong and Peng Wei woke up was also on the third floor, but in the opposite direction from them.
As for the ward where Shi Shangzuo, Xie Pang and other passengers woke up, it was on the fourth floor.
Fatty Xie didn't understand a little, and said, "I see some wards on the third floor are free, why did we wake up on the fourth floor?"
"Besides, you, the host, said before that there were vacant beds in the ward where you, Professor Chen, and Tian Xuan woke up."
"I think the wards of He Guanghong and Peng Wei are the same."
They all have vacant beds, why not arrange them together?
Wu Xiajiu pondered: "Maybe this avalanche is the same as the last avalanche that sent the hospital to the same ward."
"That is to say, which ward Professor Chen and He Guanghong woke up in before, it is still the same this time."
"But why did I wake up in the same ward with Professor Chen and Tian Xuan?"
On this point, Wu Xiajiu was a little unclear.
Could it be because they are both NPCs?
"Look here, Professor Chen and I are in ward 303, and He Guanghong and Peng Wei are in ward 314."
Wu Xiajiu pointed to the ward and said, "The wards for the two of you are 417, and the wards for the other passengers are 415 and 416."
"The following information is marked as an avalanche rescuer, and there is another person... at 501."
The last location Wu Xiajiu moved his fingertips to was Ward 501.
"Go, go and have a look." Shi Shang left.
They put down their ward notebooks and turned to leave.
Go all the way to the fifth floor and find room 501. Wu Xiajiu pushes the door open and enters——six beds, and there are four people in the ward.
Two old people, a middle-aged woman, and a teenager.
For some reason, Wu Xiajiu's eyes immediately noticed the young man in Tibetan costume sitting on the hospital bed by the window.
The boy still wore earrings on his ears, looking down at a stack of yellow papers.
Even though he heard the sound of the door opening, the boy didn't raise his head, but the other three people in the ward looked up at Wu Xiajiu, Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang curiously.
After a while, they seemed to feel nothing, and went to do their own things again.
Wu Xiajiu walked into the ward, came to the side of the bed where the boy was, and looked at the head of the bed, where his name was written - Shui Du.
"Your name is Shui Du?" Wu Xiajiu asked.
Hearing the sound, the young man raised his head, a smile slowly appeared on his not fair but plain face, and said, "I am Shuidu."
"You are?"
Wu Xiajiu asked directly: "Do you know He Guanghong, Professor Chen, Peng Wei and Tian Xuan?"
Shui Du's smile remained unchanged and he said: "Yes, we are members of an expedition team. They were rescued from the snow mountain and sent to the hospital just like me."
Wu Xiajiu couldn't help but look at Shi Shangzuo.
That's how I found someone, and it's a little too easy...
Shi Shangzuo said: "Then do you still remember, what did you encounter on the snow mountain? Did you bring anything back?"
Shui Du frowned when he heard the words, and said, "Remember, we saw a real illusion on the snow mountain."
"We took away the things in the illusion, and the gods were angry. The curse on us is the mark. If we don't return the things we took away, when the curse changes, everyone will die."
When he said the last sentence, Shui Du looked at Wu Xiajiu and the others, and said slowly, "Are you afraid of death?"
Wu Xiajiu: "We are afraid of death, so we want to return things to the gods. Can you tell us what they are?"
Shui Du looked at Wu Xiajiu firmly, and then said: "Xin Rao Mi Wo, three relics, take refuge in the Three Jewels."
"Find these treasures, perform the ceremony, and you can lift the curse and leave."
"However, can the curse on some people really be undone?"
Shui Du smiled and stopped talking.
And the bracelets of the three of Wu Xiajiu also had information reminders according to the treasure reminder that Shui Du said.
Wu Xiajiu glanced at the message, and looked down at the yellow paper in Shui Du's hand. He asked, "What is this? Can you show me a piece of paper?"
Shui Du handed Wu Xiajiu a piece of yellow paper.
"...Guide to avoiding walking corpses?" Wu Xiajiu opened his eyes, and then read out word by word, with a slightly stunned expression.
After he finished reading, he raised his eyes to look at Shui Du, and said, "Do you know about walking corpses?"
Shui Du: "My family teaches people to prevent walking corpses. In the hospital, you must be more careful."
"Is one enough, there are more."
After finishing speaking, Shui Du took out a few more cards and handed them to Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang respectively.
"..."
Wu Xiajiu put away his fingers, gave Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang a look, and left the ward first.
It's not hard to find clues about Shui Du, just go to the nurse's station to ask, and then through the ward, you can know that there is one more person rescued by Xue Beng.
If they can find this ward, it means that others can too.
Wu Xiajiu is now an NPC, so it's a bit conspicuous to act together with Shi Shangzuo and Xie Pang.
It should not be exposed at present.
Sure enough, shortly after they left Ward 501, Yanggonghe, Lolita and Yueya came to find them.
At this moment, Wu Xiajiu and the three found an empty ward, went in, and locked the door.
