Jiang Jinjiu found the box and got the bone china bottle, then returned to the banquet and invited Li Er out.
When Gongsun Zhi said that this trip was to repair the magic circle and prevent aliens from rescuing You Cang, Li Er readily agreed.
"Whatever you want me to do, just ask."
Gongsun Zhi said, "It's not difficult. Tomorrow we need Second Master to use Gui Cong to find the entrance. How is Second Master's Gui Cong cultivation going?"
Li Er scratched his head and smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's okay. It can be driven for two hours, but the string is easy to break."
Gongsun Zhi said, "This is not a problem. When the time comes, we can use talismans to stabilize it."
"That's all I have to do?"
"Not sure. We have to rely on the ability of the second master and his disciple to combine. There are many things we can't see."
Only then did Jiang Jinjiu realize that this trip was like entering a fantasy house. He was just a foil, and the protagonist was Li Er. But it doesn't matter, his name is on the property deed anyway.
Li Er smiled and said, "I didn't expect that being a dead person would have such benefits."
Qin Xuan smiled and said, "That is you, the second master. I have never seen the second one."
Suddenly Gongsun Zhi said seriously, "Second Master, I have to tell you something. The purpose of this trip is to hunt for treasure."
Li Er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We have to clean up the battlefield just like we kill the Japanese. We are not robbing other people's things. We just take what we need. If it is a national treasure, we can still hand it over to the country to make a contribution."
"Hey." Qin Xuan said happily, "Er Li still knows the word hand in."
"I saw on the news that someone handed in a painting and the mayor gave him a red pennant."
Gongsun Zhi said, "Second Master, we have to make it clear here first that the treasures in Dongtian Mansion are absolutely extraordinary. Unless it is a simple cultural relic, I would like to keep it for my own use."
Li Er seemed a little embarrassed, "Wouldn't this be a mistake?"
Qin Xuan said, "No, Second Master, the treasures there should be all magical artifacts, and they should be put to their best use. It would be a pity if they were placed in a museum as a display."
Jiang Jinjiu then said, "Yes, Master, if you hand them over to Netherworld Dunjia and Youkong Book, no one will be able to use them. It's better to leave them to eat dust than to give them to you. Master, you have forgotten them. There are little Japanese who are doing evil secretly. If you become more powerful, you won't be able to destroy them."
Li Er slapped his thigh fiercely, "A good horse should be equipped with a good saddle, and a good soldier should be equipped with a good gun. That's the principle. Let's do it this way."
Early the next morning, four off-road vehicles were waiting in front of the villa.
There are two iron boxes on the roof of each car. Next to each car are two men wearing sunglasses, hands behind their backs, and sports suits. All of them are strong and muscular, almost over 1.8 meters tall. At first glance, they look like bodyguards with extraordinary skills.
Jiang Jinjiu, the Qin brothers and sisters, like Gongsun Zhi, wore light sports suits and each got into a car.
It was a five-hour drive from the destination, and the road was flat. Gongsun Zhi wanted everyone to recharge their batteries in the car.
Jiang Jinjiu was very happy about this decision. He quickly fell asleep while lying on the back seat. Even if he got on the highway, the vibration of the large truck could not wake him up. He didn't wake up until the road started to bump.
At about 10:30, we have entered the mountainous area. Outside the car window, there were green trees and mountains. When the driver saw him waking up, he told him that the journey still took half an hour.
He rolled down the window and stretched his head out for some air while admiring the natural scenery. He couldn't help but wonder, "Looking at the mountain, it's not very high or steep. How could Zuo Ci's Cave Heaven be discovered by no one in two thousand years?"
When he arrived at the destination, he was even more puzzled. In front of him was an artificial forest area, the terrain was relatively flat, and there was no hiding place.
When he was about to ask Qin Xuan, Qin Zhaoyun gave him a handheld game console and asked him to play first. The Qin brothers and Gongsun Zhi each had a compass, and each led three people and two iron boxes to disperse.
Jiang Jinjiu was curious and wanted to accompany Qinxuan, but asked him to stay where he was, otherwise it would affect the results, so he had to stay in the car and play games.
In the next four hours, the Qin brothers and sisters and Gongsun Zhi jointly formed the eight-door golden lock formation, which covered four football fields.
Inside the box are flag talismans, stone talismans, rope talismans, and wooden sword talismans. They are combined with the direction of the feng shui and earth energy of the place, and rely on the magic circle formed by the woods. When no one is in charge, it is a defensive formation, and it is also a maze formation. When there is someone in charge, it is a powerful weapon.
Gongsun Zhi did this to prevent the aliens from discovering and following them, thus giving them an advantage in vain.
After the Golden Lock Formation was completed, everyone had a lunch together, and then waited for Gongsun Zhi to finish the after-dinner tea. It was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already dark.
The bodyguards parked their cars in a square formation, set up a camp in the middle, and set up cameras. He turned out to be pretending to be a film crew filming to cover up other people's eyes!
Jiang Jinjiu sighed in his heart that Gongsun Zhi had done everything well and was even more confident in this operation.
However, seeing the outfits Gongsun Zhi and the Qin brothers and sisters were wearing, I felt that it was too early to be happy.
Gongsun Zhi carried a wooden sword, a cloth umbrella, and four waist bag-sized cloth bags hanging on his waist. It seemed that they could not hold many magical weapons.
The weapons of the Qin brothers and sisters are the Phoenix Dance Red Flame Fan and the Longquan Sword. They each carry a mountaineering bag, but it is a medium size. There are not many magical artifacts inside, most of them are food and water, medicines and field tools. There is a gourd tied to each side of the backpack, different colors. Qin Xuan's is red and green, Qin Zhaoyun's is blue and yellow.
Jiang Jinjiu's hiking bag was filled with food and rainproof cloth. The only self-defense items in his hand were the two daggers given to him by Gongsun Zhi. This made him feel that this trip was a picnic, not a treasure hunt.
Not much to say, there is a low-lying area behind a small tree not far southeast of the camp. When the four of them arrived, Jiang Jinjiu was unexpectedly startled.
Behind a short tree stood two paper figures holding lanterns!
The paper figure is about one meter tall, one is all red, wearing a white cylindrical hat on his head, and the left eye is missing from his face. One is all green, wearing a yellow square hat, and is missing his right eye.
It's so weird that they are dimly lit and hidden in the shadows.
Gongsun Zhi grabbed a stack of white paper money from the bushes and threw it into the air. He turned his hand and took out a bundle of incense, lit it, bowed in all directions, and finally placed it in front of the paper man. Then he took out two silver talisman papers from his pocket and pasted them on the parts of the two paper figures that lacked eyes. Then he took out a palm-sized pocket jade coffin from his pocket. It looked pure white like snow, but there was a hint of blue inside. It was tightly wrapped with a red rope net, and there was a jade coffin hanging at the beginning and end. Ancient copper coins.
He pointed his sword at the jade coffin and said in his mouth, "The sky is clear and the earth is clear. The soldiers follow the seal. The Dharma image is infinite. The Yin soldiers lead the way. Order! Arise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the jade coffin bounced slightly, and a short, thin and soft whistle sounded. At the same time, the paper man's lantern lit up, and the light turned out to be blue!
Jiang Jinjiu was so surprised that he almost screamed, but before he could regain his composure, the paper man suddenly turned his head, first abruptly and quickly turning to the left, then slowly to the right, and finally turned sharply and jumped forward two meters. Far!
Gongsun Zhi took out a piece of dark-colored jade and threw it hard. The jade hit the stone on the ground and immediately fell into pieces. A stream of black air erupted from the broken jade and dissipated instantly.
Then there was a whooshing sound, and the paper money on the ground seemed to be picked up by a whirlwind, surrounding the paper man close to the ground, and the circle became smaller and smaller. Just when the paper money almost touched the paper man, the paper money spiraled up like a snake and spurted out from the top of the lantern. When it passed the lantern, it ignited a blue flame, flew two meters straight and burned into ashes.
In the blink of an eye, the paper money was burned, and the paper ashes were scattered in a long strip, lying across the front like a starting line.
Jiang Jinjiu rubbed his eyes and still vaguely saw what seemed to be a preservative layer above the gray belt. Although he didn't know its function, he still couldn't help but marvel that Gongsun Zhi's magic was stronger than that of the brothers and sisters.
Gongsun Zhi stood behind the paper man, held the jade coffin in both hands, bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Searching for spirits - leading the way -"
There was another whistle, and the paper man suddenly shook twice and jumped over the gray strips of paper. However, they stopped beating after landing and started walking step by step!
Jiang Jinjiu felt dazzled again. The sharp-edged paper seemed to become rounder, as if he had turned into a human being!
At this moment, Gongsun Zhi held the jade coffin flat with his left hand and put his right hand behind his back, walking forward simultaneously with the paper man, keeping a distance of three meters.
Qin Zhaoyun kept a distance of about two meters from Gongsun Zhi, and Qin Xuan started when he was three meters away from him.
When Jiang Jinjiu saw this, he wondered if he should keep a distance of two or three meters. Qinxuan called him, "Silly Jiuzhai, come here and follow me."
He was secretly happy and followed him like crazy.
The two of them stepped across the gray paper belt together, and Jiang Jinjiu suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he had entered the Huanyin Mansion that day.
The surrounding scenery has become lifeless, as if what we see now is not a natural scenery, but a canvas that has faded over time. I can't hear the sound of wind blowing leaves in my ears, and I can't even feel the sound of walking, as if the ground is made of sponge.
Looking at the paper man leading the way, figures kept flashing around him, much like Li Er's body overlapped with his. Now he understood why the paper man moved. It turned out that the spirit was introduced into the paper man.
What's even more strange to him is why Gongsun Zhi and his two siblings, including himself, emit a faint light.
I want to ask Qin Xuan, but I don’t know if I’m allowed to speak here. He looked at her two or three times without hesitation, and finally caught her eye.
Qin Xuan whispered, "I've been looking at you for a long time. If you have anything to ask, please ask."
"Well, what's going on now?"
"Well - you still remember the pool of Shen Shui in Huanyin Mansion. After that day, senior brother rushed to the bathhouse and spent half a month collecting a bottle. Only then did I know that after the Shen Shui was condensed, it could be used to open music. path."
"Secret path? Secret passage?"
"A winding path leads to a dark place, that's pretty much what it means. You still remember that you passed through a dark space when you entered the Phantom Mansion. The passage that is now opened is the path to the gate."
"I'll go! Then the whole world can go wherever it wants."
"Are you stupid? You forgot how hard it was for us to get out. To build a quiet path, you must first have a clear location. Otherwise, you will open a bottomless pit for yourself and seek death."
"Huh? Then how did Mr. Gongsun know where the place is? Didn't he say that the aliens tried many times and failed to turn on the mechanism?"
"He is a man with great wealth and many treasures. Look at the small coffin in his hand, which looks nothing special. It is made of cold jade. There is a golden cricket inside, which is best for tracking treasures. The two paper figures in the front are made of cold jade. Paper made from locust trees that are more than thirty years old is used as skin, ghost bamboo is used as bones, and rhinoceros horn powder is added to the paint. Only in this way can the guiding spirit be preserved to open the way for us... Why, you have no idea, so to speak. Well, you have to spend a certain amount of money to customize these two paper figures..."
Qin Xuan raised three fingers.
"Thirty thousand?"
"Tch, add another zero."
"Three! Three hundred thousand!?"
"No, it's all done by hand, time-consuming and labor-intensive, what do you think?"
Jiang Jinjiu sighed inwardly, being rich is really willful.
