Although the symbols on the paper seem real, they are elusive when trying to understand them.
In particular, although these ghostly symbols-like patterns were of the same size and had the same holes, Wu Fan often compared them two by two and found no match between the two.
"How does this look like a map? According to Yi Laoxian, this is clearly the ravings of a crazy person, and it cannot be taken seriously." Lao Xian was almost dazzled by the sight and couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, Master, if this thing is really a map, it will have different shapes and nothing the same!" On this issue, the opinions of Xigui and Laoxian are surprisingly the same.
"To tell you the truth, I had this idea at first, but I also felt that this map should not be as simple as it looks..." Wu Fan pinched his chin, feeling very headache.
Since arriving here yesterday, he has not thought about food or tea. Although he is exhausted, he has not slept all night.
So after surviving until now in such a state, Wu Fan's eyes were already bloodshot.
Yawning, Wu Fan rubbed his legs and simply sat down, staring blankly at the ghostly symbols in front of him.
Because he was too tired, Wu Fan suddenly felt that the ghostly symbols in front of him came to life. They surged like waves, and soon he was submerged in darkness...
After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to feel the presence of someone beside him, and he was shocked and opened his eyes, only to see the three-eared rat tiptoeing past him.
Seeing Wu Fan wake up, the three-eared mouse was a little surprised: "Little brother, you are really alert. How can you notice that I am so careful?"
"Senior, you are really good at movement. I don't know when you arrived here?" Wu Fan said with a smile, holding on to the Lingyin Stick and about to get up, but then his expression changed.
"Hahaha...I just arrived too, just arrived..." The three-eared mouse was being polite, but he saw Wu Fan's expression was different, "Little brother? Are you okay?"
"Oh... I'm fine." Wu Fan hurriedly returned to normal and shook his head at the three-eared mouse, "By the way, senior, have you found any results in this investigation?"
"Are you really okay?" The three-eared mouse didn't believe it. "I heard that guy said that you had to spend the whole night studying the map. If it doesn't work, you should rest first. Anyway, it won't take a while."
"Don't worry, senior, I've already rested." Wu Fan hurriedly explained not wanting to waste time.
After asking a few questions again to confirm that Wu Fan was indeed fine, the three-eared rat continued: "That guy didn't lie. According to my observation, there will probably be some turmoil in the black line around the fifth watch..."
Speaking of this, the three-eared mouse frowned and added: "It's just that this vision appeared without warning and disappeared even more suddenly. I don't know how long it will last. Since there is no such thing here, little brother How about you wait for me to investigate for a few days first?"
Wu Fan shook his head and sighed: "The situation is special now. There is no time left for us to ensure that everything is safe, but we still have to thank our seniors!"
"Sigh... It does sound like I have a headache..." The three-eared mouse's face also darkened, and then he shrugged and asked: "Let's not talk about it for now. Little brother, you have been tossing for so long and you still don't have time. Why don't you wait here and let me Go find them and ask for some food!"
With that said, the three-eared rat turned around and disappeared into the stone chamber.
When the three-eared rat left, Wu Fan hurriedly communicated with the old immortal: "Old immortal, what happened just now?"
"Little friend! There is indeed a mystery in these ghostly drawings!" The old fairy was originally excited, but suddenly the topic changed, "But if you want me to tell you, you must agree to one condition!"
Wu Fan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the old immortal would actually talk about terms at this time, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Okay! Then you swear, you must take me...the two of us when you go in this time!" Hearing the opera ghost's voice, the old immortal changed his words.
"Is this your condition?" Wu Fan was stunned.
"That's right! Just say whether you agree or not!" said the old immortal.
"I originally wanted to ask for your help this time. Even if you don't agree, I will take you in..." Wu Fan said.
"Bah! You just speak nicely! Why don't you leave the old immortal behind at the critical moment?" The old immortal has been tortured by me a lot these days, and his teeth itch just thinking about it.
Wu Fan was also helpless, secretly thinking that he was clearly going deep into danger, so why did he listen to what it said, as if he was going to secretly enjoy happiness behind their backs?
"I swear, I swear it's alright. You'd better tell me what you found?" Urfan urged.
The old immortal naturally knew the priorities, and when Wu Fan agreed, he did not continue to make things difficult: "Little friend, roll up that ghost talisman!"
"Is this so?" Wu Fan casually rolled the paper into a long tube.
"No, no!" The old immortal was so anxious that he stamped his feet in the spiritual stick, "Let's do this! You do as the old immortal said! Poke a hole in the middle of the map first!"
"Isn't this... bad?" Although these maps look like ghost drawings and have no logic at all, they are probably the only clues to leaving this place, so Wu Fan certainly can't bear to damage them, especially since these maps belong to others.
"Where did the good and bad come from?" the old immortal said disdainfully, "To put it bluntly, these maps are just a thought, and they have no value even if they are left in their hands! And when the space really collapses, everything will Everything will be reduced to nothing, even life can’t be saved, who can care about the map?”
"What you said makes some sense. It's true that I thought too much."
As he said that, Wu Fan picked up the Lingyin stick and poked the map in his hand through it.
"What's next?" Wu Fan asked after the processing was over.
"This..." The old immortal hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly: "No, it seems like your hole was in vain..."
According to what the old immortal said, Wu Fan just punched it on the ground, and it just happened to land in the center of the circle of the ghost-drawing talisman. From its perspective, these lines seemed to surround itself like fences, allowing it to see a way out.
But it wasn't until Wufan finished preparing that he realized that it was impossible for Wufan to roll up the ghost talisman around the center of the circle.
"Fence?" Wu Fan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "I understand! I know the painter's intention! No wonder I haven't been able to see the difference. It turns out it's just because of the perspective problem!"
Thinking of this, Wu Fan hurriedly flattened the map, and then stood the Lingyin Stick on the hole in the map. He saw lines with no rules and logic forming high walls on the Lingyin Stick!
When I first got the Lingyin Rod, it was still an iron rod with a rough and rusty surface. However, after passing through the hands of craftsmen, its surface became slightly brighter and glowed like bronze. Although Wu Fan had already He was used to it being called an iron rod, but he knew in his heart that this thing was not as simple as ordinary iron.
Although the current Lingyin Rod is far from being a mirror, it can vaguely reflect the surrounding scenery after being rubbed and licked for a long time, so it can naturally reflect the changes on the map.
"As expected! These ghost-drawing symbols are indeed not meaningless!" Wu Fan was a little excited, but more puzzled. He didn't understand why this person had to put so much effort into drawing the map like this?
…
"Didn't I tell you that time is running out?" A voice suddenly sounded from the shadows, sounding helpless.
"Of course I know." The one who replied was the three-eared mouse.
"Now that you know it, why do you still say those unnecessary words?" the man in the shadow continued.
"Because... I don't want to be irresponsible." After a moment of silence, the three-eared mouse spoke.
"Responsibility? Hahaha..." The voice in the shadow changed from its deep tone and started laughing, "The world has really changed. I never thought you could say such a thing!"
The three-eared rat looked embarrassed: "I think I have bad morals, but I won't kill people for no reason...especially since this little brother has been kind to me."
The man in the shadow suddenly stopped laughing and asked abruptly: "You have been following him for so long, how come you don't know his identity?"
The three-eared mouse was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "So you guys are waiting for me here?" Then he continued, "After all, everyone has secrets, and I am very old now and don't have that much energy to think about everything. inquire about."
"I just mentioned it casually, I didn't want to know..."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled. Although they knew it well, no one mentioned it again.
After a moment of silence, the tone of the man in the shadow suddenly became serious: "I asked you about the matter you asked me last time."
"How is it?" The three-eared mouse suddenly became nervous. He had never had such an attitude even when he was in danger.
"Tongtianshu..."
"Brother, what's wrong with him?" The three-eared mouse scratched his head and ears anxiously, veins popping out on his body.
"He was never here..." the man continued.
"Why are you breathing so hard when you talk?" the three-eared mouse cursed.
"Hahaha... I think you are too reserved." The man smiled.
"Okay, I have nothing to say to you." The three-eared rat came here to find his eldest brother, the Tongtian Rat. Since the latter is not here, he can feel at ease.
"Is that okay when you're done with people and leave?"
"Didn't you also take advantage of me? Let's just treat each other..." The three-eared mouse sneered and was about to leave.
"I didn't lie to you." The other voice said helplessly.
"Of course I know." The three-eared mouse's words seemed familiar.
"What do you know? I'm not talking about the Sky Rat." The man shook his head, "So don't think about going to the black line anymore."
Having someone see through his thoughts, the three-eared mouse was a little embarrassed: "After all, I am entrusted by others. It would not be good if I didn't go and confirm it myself..."
Last night, the three-eared rat was kidnapped by this man as soon as he walked halfway, and was not released by the latter until dawn the next day. As for the fifth watch incident, the latter also told him.
"Don't worry, you should know my character well, and I won't make fun of my own life. The reason why I won't let you go is because the black line is extremely unstable when fluctuations occur. If you accidentally fall into it, you will be in trouble. The gain outweighs the loss…”
"But…"
"There's nothing wrong with it." The man interrupted, "I know you have great movement skills, but the black line also has no rules to follow, so you can't use common sense to guess it. Not to mention you, even I will do it every time you get close. Suffer!"
As he said that, the man emerged from the shadows and lifted his clothes: "If you still insist on going, you will end up like me."
The three-eared mouse squinted his eyes and looked forward, but then his pupils shrank, and he saw that the skin of the man opposite was covered with black burn scars...
