Chapter 132: The Truth That Gets Closer
Ye Yan looked at me in surprise and said, "Is this possible?" Hengfei is an ordinary person! β
I said slowly: "If you think about it carefully, if you put aside the warlock who laid out the deep mountains back then, is everything because of Hengfei?" We have come this way, fought with people several times, all of them were injured, why only Hengfei, who can't even embroider his legs, is unscathed? β
Ye Shen hesitated: "That's what I said, but what does this have to do with Hengfei is calamity?" β
I explained: "The so-called fateful catastrophe is the inevitable catastrophe, even if its existence is extremely absurd, even unbelievable, and will eventually lead to an unpredictable catastrophe. However, it will never disappear until its role is truly played. β
"Have you heard the legend of the jade seal of the country? The jade seal of the country was equivalent to a catastrophe during the Three Kingdoms period. The masters of calamity are Sun Jian and Yuan Shu. Think about it yourself, if Sun Jian didn't have the jade seal of the country, maybe the people who were in the world with Cao Cao and Liu Bei would be changed to Sun Jian. β
Monk Shi suddenly spoke: "You mean, the last words left by Heng Kun at that time made Heng Fei set up another ancestor, but in fact, he was also in the calamity?" β
"Isn't it?" I asked rhetorically, "What if that warlock set up a feng shui array in the mountains to bury the old wolf, he was actually helping him survive the catastrophe?" Although he postponed the catastrophe for decades, the catastrophe still came as scheduled. β
"The old lady of the Heng family has fallen here, and I overheard the old wolf's grave taking root in Sandaogangzi, is it just a flash of inspiration? That's because he was chosen by the Heavenly Dao to inspire the calamity. β
Although the feng shui gentleman also made all kinds of arrangements to play the number of days, the number of days allowed Hengkun to find the secret of feng shui. At that time, there were many immortal guards on the mountain, and Heng Kun failed to successfully stimulate the calamity, and the Heavenly Dao postponed the calamity to Hengfei's body. β
"At the beginning, Heng Kun probably saw the clue, so he left Heng Fei's last words to set up another ancestor."
"When we wanted to cut off the connection between him and the ancestral tomb in Hengfei's house, the ghost that appeared behind the old ancestor was actually not angry with Hengfei, but wanted to kill him - killing Hengfei could break the calamity. It's just that his strength was not strong at that time, and we forcibly stopped him. β
When Ye Yan heard me say this, he suddenly shook his head and said, "What you said is not right. Since everything is fine when he kills Hengfei, why did the old wolf go to kill Hengfei's wife, outer room, and even his illegitimate child? Isn't this tantamount to forcing Hengfei to come over to settle accounts with him? According to you, he is not avoiding the robbery, but actively provoking the robbery. β
I muttered, "That's what I never figured out. However, one thing I am sure of is that as long as I find Hengfei, everything will be revealed. What about melon seeds? β
Monk Shi pointed to the distance: "I let the melon seeds chase Hengfei." β
"Good!" I knocked on my hands and said, "Well done!" The melon seeds couldn't catch up with the old wolf before, because the other party's breath was difficult to find, but now with Hengfei, it won't take long for it to find the land, we just wait. β
"But......" Ye Yan worried, "I'm afraid that if there is any accident with the melon seeds......"
I thought for a while and said, "Wait for an hour, if the melon seeds don't appear, I will join forces with Lu Xiaoying to calculate its location." β
Ye Yan saw that I insisted again and again, so he didn't say anything anymore. Actually, I'm also worried about the safety of the melon seeds, but my ghost eye money has been scrapped for two, and the conventional method should not be able to find the melon seeds. Before the ghost money was repaired, half of my skills were scrapped, and I returned to the state where I had just debuted.
At this time, I really began to envy Lu Xiaoying's anti-heaven hand. My father had to let me win the hand against the heavens, was it really just because of the covenant of gods and ghosts? How do I think he sees the flaws in the ghost eye money?
While I was silent, my son came running from a distance, yelled at me twice, turned and ran back. A few of us chased after each other, and were soon led to the river by the melon seeds.
Usually I see rivers going around the mountains, and the rivers are at the foot of the mountains; But the river goes down the mountain, and the river is in the middle of the mountain. It is common sense that this is supposed to be the source of a large river, and the water should be fast-flowing, but the water here seems to be extremely stable, and it looks like it is flowing eastward without slow.
When I looked up along the river, I was blocked by a mountain beam: "I understand, no wonder we haven't been able to find the feng shui dragon eye here." It is called Sandao Gangzi here, which means that there must be three terrain like Gangliang in the mountain. I originally thought that the three beams were arranged along the mountain, but now that I look at it, it should be arranged along the water. β
"The waterway was fenced three times before the water slowed down. The place where Feng Shui gathers should be near the river, or simply on a corner of the river. β
Mrs. Dong said: "We have also suspected what you said, but none of us have found a similar place. β
When Mrs. Dong was talking, the melon son screamed a few times in the distance. Not long after I chased in the direction of Guazi'er, I saw a mound full of weeds next to the mountain wall: "That's the old wolf's grave?" β
Mrs. Dong snatched it up in a few steps: "It seems to be." But when will he ......?"
Before Mrs. Dong finished speaking, Monk Shi took an iron rod and smashed it on the grave a few times. The dirt that had been pushed away by the stick immediately collapsed backwards in the direction of the stick. Monk Shi used a stick to push away the dirt and shouted, "Then there is a cave behind it?" β
Only then did I realize that the old wolf's grave was actually only half exposed on the outside, and the other half was embedded in the mountain wall, just blocking the cave in the rock wall.
Ye Shen and I dug down with our weapons, and the opening of the cave gradually revealed. The melon seeds lay on the entrance of the cave and screamed a few times, signaling that we should chase down.
Monk Shi and I looked at each other, and each pulled out his flashlight and walked down the cave. The further we went, the smoother the ground became, and we had to slide forward step by step to stabilize our shape, until we had walked more than 100 meters, and the ground began to gradually flatten.
I took a flashlight and shone it around the neighborhood before shining the flashlight on a wooden block: "This is the wood on the coffin." This place should be walked through the coffin. Grandma, when Lao Lang was buried in the grave, did he use a coffin? β
"It's useless!" Mrs. Dong shook her head and said, "When Lao Lang was buried, we all witnessed it with our own eyes, and there was absolutely no coffin. β
I nodded, "It seems that the old wolf grave is similar to what I thought." You may have been tricked by that warlock. The warlock buried Lao Lang in the earth, not to help him survive the catastrophe, but to let Lao Lang pull the coffin for him. β
"Impossible!" Mrs. Dong said, "At the beginning, when Lao Lang was buried, we were always watching from the sidelines, and that gentleman couldn't do anything. β
I said in a deep voice, "When the man sat alone on the old wolf's grave all night, you were watching from the sidelines?" β
"......No," Mrs. Dong suddenly came to her senses, "you mean, he did it to Lao Lang at that time?" β
"Yes!" I nodded, "That warlock has given you hope and gained your trust. While all of you think he's desperate to get the job done, he's controlling the old man right under your noses. Then he used a trick to get rid of the golden cicada, put himself in the coffin, and let the old man pull him into the cave according to his predetermined route. β
Mrs. Dong said, "However, we buried the warlock with our own hands. If he just made a puppet, or had someone replace the body, we wouldn't have seen it. β
"What if he skinned himself himself?" I said in a deep voice, "If he is ruthless and makes a puppet out of his own human skin, can you still see it?" β
Mrs. Dong suddenly gasped: "Self-skinning? Can there be such a ruthless person in the world? If he did, we wouldn't really be able to see it. β
Man discerns the living with his eyes; Mrs. Dong distinguishes between the living, but they rely on the breath or smell of the other party, even if they are successful in cultivation, they can't change this habit. That person took advantage of Mrs. Dong's habits and made a puppet out of skin, tricking them into throwing his body into the river.
I explained, "There are many kinds of secret medicines in the art path, and each has its own strengths. If a warlock wants someone to break free of their own skin, it is simply too easy, and the easiest way is to cut the top of the person's head and pour mercury into the skin. β
"Warlocks also have many ways to keep themselves unaware of their pain, or even their own death, for a period of time, and to control their corpses completely by will."
"That person doesn't need much, as long as he can keep himself up for an hour, he can get everything done. I guess he left the puppet behind and ran to a coffin not far away to lie down and die. The old man, who was controlled by him, first moved to his position, and then began to slowly move up the mountain. When you found out that the old wolf's grave could move, didn't you notice that there was something wrong with the direction in which it was moving? β
Mrs. Dong was so hateful that her teeth chattered: "The old wolf's grave did indeed move down the mountain for a while before it began to gradually go up the mountain. Is that warlock lying to us? β
I said in a deep voice, "Yes or no, you have to walk forward." If there are traces ahead, it means that my initial inference was correct. Hengkun also discovered this secret, and deliberately waited in front of Lao Lang, letting Lao Lang push his body into his destination first. β
Mrs. Dong gritted her teeth and said, "Go!" I'm going to see what they do! β
I chased some distance down the tunnel under the cavern, and sure enough, I saw a piece of ground that had been overturnedβsomeone had fought here before. Although I don't know how many years have passed since that battle, the traces of the destruction of the ground are still vivid.
We're getting closer and closer to the goal.
