Originally I was just a little anxious, but when I saw the ID card, this feeling turned into a worry.
If Songzi really left without saying goodbye and didn't take away some personal clothes or his own belongings, I would temporarily assume that he was trying to confuse us, but there is absolutely no reason not to take his ID card with him. Although in that era, you did not need an ID card to ride in or buy things, but the ID card contained everyone's birth date and family name. Songzi was a metaphysics person, and he certainly knew that if this information was used by someone with ulterior motives, If you master it, how much harm will it cause to him.
So since his ID card is here, it means that he did not leave without saying goodbye, but went out on his own, but for some reason, he never came back.
I told Qin Bukong my speculation about him. These days, Qin Bukong and Songzi always like to bicker with each other. Naturally, their relationship is not much better. I originally thought that I would be criticized for saying this. Qin Bukong laughed a lot, but who knew he actually stood up, picked up the key on the table, and then said to me, let's go, why are you still standing there? Let's find someone.
When it comes to finding people, actually the best way is to use Qi Men Dun Jia, but that can only give me a general direction and some coincidental phenomena. More accurate than this is my Bingma Xiang. Because Songzi’s ID card is still there, he can only be the person behind this ID. If Bingma goes looking for it with this information, he should be able to find it, but Although Songzi is worthless, he is a member of Xuanmen after all. I don't know if he has taken any precautions for himself. If he has, even if he has eight characters, it will be more difficult for my troops to find him.
Just in case, I still brought enough equipment. After going out, Qin Bukong and I went separate ways, making an appointment for two hours to go home regardless of whether we found someone or not.
It's already dark now, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. The busy streets during the day have now become quiet. Occasionally, voices and the sound of old-fashioned radios mixed with radio waves can be heard from the windows of other people's houses. sound. When the night wind blows, I can even hear the rustling of newspapers flying on the ground, the barking of stray dogs and the sound of cats stepping on roof tiles. I searched aimlessly and found nothing.
Two hours later, I returned home in despair. The moment Qin Bukong opened the door and came in, the expression on his face told me that he had found nothing. For two days in a row, I couldn't even see anyone. Considering Songzi's character, he was quite polite, and he definitely wouldn't be so rude, not even saying hello. So Qin Bukong and I started discussing and came to the conclusion that Songzi was probably in some trouble, otherwise it would never be so abnormal.
When thinking of this, Qin Bukong told me that we had never used Qi Men to find people before, but I think it might be worth a try now. I nodded. I usually count my Qimen with the palm of my hand. Regardless of whether the pine nuts are fortified or not, I have to find them first and give them a try.
So I divided the palm of my left hand into nine squares, and started to make divination based on the name and birth date on Songzi's ID card, as well as the hour of the day he disappeared as clues. Soon I got a hexagram:
"The hexagram Luo Kun's second palace belongs to the earth, southwest. The owner's left arm, chest, and abdomen." The meaning of this hexagram is not difficult to understand. The reason why the pine nuts have not returned is because the person is in the southwest here, not The reason for his return lies in his left arm, chest and abdomen. Qin Bukong quickly compared the direction. The southwest position happened to be the direction of the stone pillar at the center of the array. But Qin Bukong stayed there all day, so there was probably no way for Songzi to hide there without Qin Bukong noticing, right?
Qin Bukong asked me, do you think this kid went into the hole he dug earlier? I was stunned and asked, what was he doing there? And why not go in an aboveboard manner? Qin Bukong said that he didn't know either, but now it seems that it is indeed a possibility. Otherwise, let's go down and look for it?
I told Qin Bukong, "Don't go. I'll just hurry up and go alone. Anyway, it's pitch black in this cave, and there's no distinction between day and night." The time was approaching, and although I wasn't afraid, after all, I had had several fierce fights in the cave before, and I still felt a little nervous about walking alone. But I couldn't let Qin Bukong see my timidity, so I grabbed a flashlight and The kerosene lamp jumped into the tunnel.
I didn't stop much on the way, but when I got to the center of the array, I spent a lot of effort to get into the small hole. Since the pine nuts were dug in the forward direction before, I now walked in the opposite direction, which was really difficult. This is my first time to this cave. Fortunately, there is only one path, so I don’t have to worry about going wrong. After walking in a meandering way for almost half an hour, the terrain suddenly changed and turned into a direction from bottom to top. Probably where I am now is where Songzi said he dug too much. However, the way up was much easier. Soon after I climbed up a few potholes, the space suddenly opened up a lot. A smell of water came over me. I shined a flashlight and realized that I was now The location turned out to be a sewer.
It is said to be a sewer, but there is no water. There is only a small flow of water at the corner, a thin stream. Although the surrounding ground is moist, it feels dry, just because there are many mosses growing there. It seems that this section of sewer has not been put into use and has been abandoned for a long time. I found some footprints in the sewer, but these footprints had been left here for a long time. They seemed to be the marks left when Songzi asked someone to dig holes. There were no recent traces at all.
So I didn't continue searching because I was sure that Songzi had never been here, at least in the past two days when he disappeared. Both ends of the sewer are very deep. If I continue walking forward, I will probably go the wrong way. To be on the safe side, I decided to go back the way I came. By the time I returned to the ground out of breath, it was already past two in the morning.
Qin Bukong hadn't gone to bed yet, but had been looking around in the main room with the door open, as if waiting for Songzi to come back. After seeing me back on the ground, he asked me what happened. I shook my head at him helplessly and said that it seemed that this hexagram was not accurate. There was no one in the tunnel. Qin Bukong also frowned and said nothing. Soon he came to me and smelled it, and then asked why it smelled so bad. So I told him that the hole dug by pine nuts earlier was actually connected to an abandoned road. There is a sewer, but I didn’t leave from there, so I don’t know where the sewer is.
So Qin Bukong asked me to rest quickly and find a way to find it after getting up early tomorrow. After I returned without success again, my mood was really hit. I didn't expect that we had no hope of breaking through the barrier, and now we even lost a companion. The most annoying thing is that we don’t know where to find it if it’s lost.
If you fall asleep with such emotions, you will naturally not sleep well. The next morning, before it was fully light, I was shaken awake by Qin Bukong. He asked me to get up quickly, wash up, pack my things and follow him. I was half asleep, so I asked him where he was going, and he said to look for pine nuts.
Frankly speaking, I didn't have much hope at the time, but I quickly sat up from the bed. After washing up carelessly, Qin Bukong pulled him out of the door without even eating breakfast. I saw that the direction we were walking was towards the pier, so I couldn't help but ask Qin Bukong, are we going to take a boat? Qin Bukong said yes, we want to cross the river. I said, aren't you looking for pine nuts? How do you know he must be across the river? Qin Bukong said, do you still remember the hexagram you made last night? I said, remember, the second palace of Kun belongs to earth, southwest. Qin Bukong said, isn't that right? That's going to the Southwest.
I was still a little confused, so I was a little stunned but said nothing. Qin Bukong probably sensed my doubts, so he told me that the Qingchuan Pavilion, Yuwang Palace, and Iron Gate Pass that Songzi mentioned before were in the southwest from the perspective of orientation. Songzi is not a local like us. The only thing that could keep him away from home for so long without any news was that he could only look for clues on his own. I said strangely, but except for Songzi who is awesome in Feng Shui and Kanyu, his other skills seem to be a bit weak. What we have to deal with is "Charming". He sneaked away by himself. Even if he found it, that's not the case. Are you dying?
Qin Bukong sighed and said, hey, we just met him not long ago. Just because he always feels that he can't help, and we like to make fun of him, he probably feels that he is useless, so he wants to take advantage of it. Give it a chance to prove yourself. If it were me, I would do that. I was stunned, I didn't even think of this at all. Qin Bukong went on to say that perhaps he hoped to use his own strength to find key clues for us. In this way, we would also affirm his role in this team.
I said that we have never denied him. The exact location of the first level was found by him. If it were the two of us who were looking for it, it would probably take some time and some months before we could find the right one. Qin Bukong said, Songzi is a boy. He is smart and clever. Although his skills are not good, he has a good mind. She's just a bit over-the-top and likes to argue about right and wrong in everything, just like a woman.
When Qin Bukong said this, I realized that this seemed to be the case. Maybe it's because Qin Bukong and I have always been like old men, and we don't pay attention to trivial things. Songzi is really much more careful than us in some aspects, and his personality is not so masculine. I like to scream in surprise when something happens...
Thinking of this, I don't know why, my back suddenly felt numb.
