I don't understand the scientific principle of this, but I know that the strange scene in front of me has nothing to do with supernatural beings. It is just a chemical reaction caused by that special oil when it comes into contact with the air. So just when I was still regretting that this not-so-good-looking "Erotic Palace Picture" had disappeared without a trace, the fragments on the ground had become brittle and turned into a pile of powder.
I knew that I was probably in trouble, so I looked at Qin Bukong with an innocent face, and then said, "Look, it's really not my fault. I just touched him lightly." If you put it back later, it will still turn into a pile of scum. Qin Bukong didn't say anything, nor did he blame me. He just threw the few fragments he still held in his hand on the ground, which also shattered into a pile of powder. Then he clapped his hands and said, what the hell is this? It’s really evil.
Then Qin Bukong asked me, have you remembered everything on the red hijab just now? I thought about it and said, I can roughly remember it. Why do you ask? Qin Bukong said, I'm wondering if there is a possibility that the senior who buried the things at the beginning might know in his heart that if someone breaks through in the future, he can pass through the Eight Gate Formation first and then pass through the "Evil" People who are in both levels of "charm" and "charm" are definitely not ordinary people. Maybe the red hijab in this chapter is evidence of self-destruction. Maybe it is some clues that we need to use when passing the level later.
Then I understood. I had not planned to memorize it carefully at first, but now I started to try hard to recall it, wanting to remember it firmly. Qin Bukong said, take everything you should take. This wooden box will break into pieces as soon as you take it. You can just take a look at it later. There is no need to take it away. Then we will go home and study it.
I gave Qin Bukong some time and asked him to squat on the ground with a flashlight to inspect the stone box and the wooden box. Then he stood up and told me that there were still some vague writings on the inner wall of the wooden box, but if you look carefully you can read them. It comes out with eight characters: "A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight". I snorted and said, where did this slut come from? Qin Bukong then said, yes, so you are not a gentleman either.
He told me that this was probably the same as the erotic picture on the red hijab just now. It was to catalyze the power of the big ghost guarding the gate under this character. But now that the big ghost has been destroyed, the rest is just for reference.
So I packed up my things quickly, ignoring the soreness in my arms. I covered the stone box again and stuffed it back into the wall hole we dug out. Then I backfilled the soil on the ground and tamped it down. Although the soil at the entrance of the hole was The color still looks different, but presumably the sewers will become damp due to moisture over time, and the surface of the soil will gradually blend with the surroundings. In addition, there are very few people coming here on weekdays, so it shouldn't be. will be discovered by others.
Before leaving, Qin Bukong and I threw the shovels and crowbars used for digging into the ditch to avoid carrying these things out. If someone discovered them, they might guess what we had done. Although these things are bought with money, the things that money can buy are not crucial things. Then we retreated the same way we came. As we retreated, I wiped away the footprints on the ground with my feet, and also pulled out the nails that the pine nuts had left as road signs. After returning to the ground, I found that it was almost evening, and many people who went out to work or go to school were there. We went home one after another at this time, and the manhole cover of the sewer kiln we entered and exited was originally located in a residential area, so in order to avoid these people, we waited at the bottom of the well for a while before climbing out one after another.
It was already late, so we quickened our pace before catching the bus home. It’s just that the people in the car looked at me and Qin Bukong strangely, and everyone covered their noses for fear of getting too close to us. I think it was because we were dirty and smelled like sewers. Qin Bukong was so imaginative that he closed his eyes almost the whole time and was indifferent to the movements around him, but I felt a little embarrassed because of this and lowered my head in shame.
It was already close to 8pm when we got home. We had been tired all day and were close to death several times. Qin Bukong and I were also hungry. In order to save the time of going home and cooking, Qin Bukong unexpectedly took me out to eat and drink, and then we both burped and returned home.
Songzi looked very happy to see us returning home safely. So I pestered Qin Bukong to tell him about what happened today. Qin Bukong gave me the task of explaining the work, and said meaningfully, you'd better ask this guy for details. He said today But it was like being a god for a while. I knew that Qin Bukong was talking about my ecstatic erotic dream, and he was taking this opportunity to make fun of me. This old guy couldn't eat the grapes and said they were sour. So I ignored him and told Songzi what happened today. Of course, I didn’t go into detail about that erotic scene. Even if you don’t understand it, you will be embarrassed.
After resting for a while, Qin Bukong suggested that we go down to the center of the array again before the end of the day and put the wax-skin bead into the stone bricks. I agreed, and Songzi also went down with me. In front of the array, I peeled off the wax skin of the beads as usual, only to find that the gloss and size of the beads in my hand were almost exactly the same as before, except that the color turned out to be dark red. Looks more like stone than metal. I handed the bead to Qin Bukong, who put it into the small groove of the stone brick, and then inserted the stone brick back into the pillar. Just like before, the "charming" stone brick was returned to the pillar tightly. Behind the center of the array, the stone brick with the word "魍" written on it seemed to have triggered a mechanism, and a piece of it popped out with a click.
Under the word "魍", there is written "Sixty Years". This sentence is the same as the previous sentence "Dayu controlled the floods". It is actually a very common four-character phrase. Almost everyone knows that sixty years is a cycle, which is part of the reincarnation cycle of the heavenly stems and earthly branches in ancient Chinese culture. Although it seems to be related to the metaphysics we have learned, giving such a vague clue will probably make us think again.
So at this moment, Qin Bukong and I looked at Songzi in unison. Although this person is weak, we have to admit that he is the smartest one among the three of us. Maybe God is really fair. He gave Qin Bukong and I brute strength, but forgot to give us smart brains. The pine nut has a thin body, but it gives us a sense of wisdom.
Songzi probably understood what we meant, and he smiled sheepishly. There was actually a trace of satisfaction and pride in this smile, because he also knew that although Qin Bukong and I didn't say anything, we were treating Chuang Guo Regarding the Qisha Pass, Songzi has long been regarded as an indispensable member of the team. He was recognized by us, so he couldn't hide his joy.
Songzi said to us, it’s useless for you to look at me. We have to go back to the ground to investigate and understand. We are not in a hurry to discuss it in the long term. Let’s discuss it in the long term.
So the three of us returned to the ground. It was already very late and we were all very tired. We didn’t plan to do anything else that day and wanted to rest early. But I wasn’t as unhygienic as Qin Bukong. He didn’t even have clothes. I went to bed without taking off my clothes, but I still changed out of my dirty and smelly clothes and took a shower before going to bed.
This sleep can be described as a deep sleep, at least for me, because when I woke up, it was already past noon. Qin Bukong and Songzi had also gotten up early and were not far from my bed. Discussing countermeasures at the table. These two people probably also knew that I was really exhausted the first day, and no one woke me up after I got up. And I am not a sleepy person, and I am easily awakened by the sounds around me in my sleep, but they have been discussing around me for so long, and I am completely unaware of it.
I quickly dressed and washed, and then ate a fried dough stick. It was cold. I heard that it was bought by Song Nu when I went out in the morning. Then I joined their discussion, listened to a few words, and found that the two seemed to have some arguments about the direction of the investigation. Qin Bukong felt that we should first analyze the heavenly stems and earthly branches to find out where each Jiazi in the past thousand years overlaps with the present day, so as to narrow down the scope and eliminate it. The last few remaining ones may be the ones we investigate. Bearing and direction. Songzi believes that according to the urine of the predecessor thousands of years ago, there was a landmark in Wuhan that could be found in the previous two levels, and this landmark was related to those four words. For example, the homophony of "Ying Youwu" refers to "Shadowless Pagoda", and "Dayu Controlled Floods" refers to "Monument of King Yu". The only mistake was that the Shadowless Pagoda had been moved, so we had to find another way to find the original location. The Monument of King Yu was rebuilt, but fortunately the location has not changed.
Therefore, Songzi believes that we should start the investigation from some local places and place names. As long as it can overlap with Jiazi, that is the scope of our investigation. This will be much more pragmatic than Qin Bukong's large and empty calculation.
This time I chose to side with Song Zi. It's not because the method he said is simpler and easier to implement, but because this guy was extremely accurate twice before. This time I chose to believe his statement unconditionally, even if we are not locals, if we want If you ask around, it will take several days to get any results.
Qin Bukong said angrily, "Okay, since you both think what you said makes sense, I will teach you how to complete the investigation, and I will not participate." Songzi looked at me a little embarrassed, his eyes seemed to be asking why this old man is still stubborn. When I was about to laugh at Qin Bukong, he said, I will stay at home and boil water for you to cook. , while studying the local cycle of Jiazi in the three towns of Wuhan for thousands of years.
