Chapter 17: The Ritual of Witchcraft
"What's going on again?"
Liu Ziang supported Ling'er and didn't have to eat staple food, which made Xu Ling quite unhappy. knew that Liu Ziang should have noticed something, but she still hummed to Liu Ziang unhappily.
"There are few water dragons, wet herbaceous plants, mostly growing in shallow water at the edge of the field, wet valleys in the mountains. A small number of them can grow in shallow rivers. The fat man explained to Liu Ziang like a few treasures.
"What does that mean?" Xu Ling was still puzzled, but she also became serious.
Liu Ziang took out one of them and pointed the white jade roots at Xu Ling.
"The roots of the water dragon will grow for at least a hundred years before they turn white. If the bell really came from under the lake. That means that under this lake, there is a space that is very suitable for the growth of water dragons. ”
At this point, why doesn't Xu Ling understand? Immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Wet valley in the mountains? ”
"Taoyuan Immortal Village?" Immediately, her eyes opened, and her beautiful eyes shone brightly!
Liu Ziang shook his head, "That's not necessarily. Although this lake is suppressed by black snakes, it is not so easy to store and divert water. It is estimated that there is also a groundwater vein under the lake. ”
"Maybe Ling'er has dived into the underground water vein."
Xu Ling nodded knowingly.
She also knew that there were some underground veins that connected to the underground space, but these spaces were often very limited.
But that being said.
Two seconds later, Liu Ziang and Xu Ling looked at each other at the same time.
Xu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.
Liu Ziang straightened his chest, and his face showed a deep and cold look.
Immediately, the two of them spoke at the same time: "But you can find out!" ”
Xu Ling smiled: "I'll prepare manpower." Fortunately, I asked the first expedition team to bring oxygen tanks! ”
Liu Ziang raised his hand and waved lightly, and looked at the fat man with a smile: "Fatty, get ready to dive!" ”
"Make no mistake, let me do all the dirty work." Although his face was unhappy, the fat man walked towards the lake.
"Just leave it to the fat man." Xiang Xu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, and Liu Ziang looked at Ling'er again.
It was just this action that made Xu Ling understand.
She immediately reached out and hugged Ling'er in her arms, glaring at Liu Ziang: "Do you still want to beat Ling'er's idea?" Dream! ”
"It's just a matter of letting Ling'er lead the way." Liu Ziang's expression remained unchanged, "Don't forget, there is a snake god here, and nothing will happen." ”
"Whatever Dad tells me to do, I'll do it." It was Ling'er who suddenly broke free from Xu Ling's arms and hugged Liu Ziang's arm.
Seeing that Ling'er and Liu Ziang were so intimate, Xu Ling was so angry that she stomped her feet: "You girl, why are you so desperate for him." ”
After that, she glared at Liu Ziang again.
Liu Ziang didn't mention how happy he was, but his face still maintained a deep look.
"Ling'er, can you take that fat uncle to the place where you pick up water dragons?"
"Also, in case that fat uncle suddenly doesn't move. You just tell him, 'There are no ghosts,' okay? ”
Bending down slightly, Liu Ziang said and touched Ling'er's round little face.
Just finished speaking, Liu Ziang couldn't help but whisper in his heart: "Hell, why do I really treat her as a little girl?" ”
Suddenly remembering Lori's actual age, Liu Zi withdrew his hand and smiled unnaturally at Xu Ling.
Lori didn't take Liu Ziang's 'inappropriate behavior' seriously, but puffed out her cheeks, stared at her big watery eyes and nodded solemnly to Liu Ziang, "Okay, Dad!" ”
After speaking, Ling'er let go of Liu Ziang's arm, turned his head and ran.
"Ling'er, wait a minute!" But he was still stopped by Xu Ling.
I saw Xu Ling walk up to Ling'er in a few steps, and took out a black square the size of her thumb from the thick belt around her waist.
"This is the tracker, you put it away! Crush it if it's in danger. ”
Little Lori's strength is great, and Xu Ling has seen it in the past few days.
Lori put the tracker away and put it in the long skirt that seemed to fit everything.
Seeing Xu Ling take out high-tech gadgets from the costume pocket, Liu Ziang still didn't get used to it.
Shaking his head with a smile, he walked over as well.
When he came out of Yizhizhai, Liu Ziang took a piece of yin and yang fish jade and hung it on his waist.
After walking over, Liu Ziang ripped off the yin and yang fish, bit the blood of his middle finger, and dripped it on the jade match.
I saw that after the blood touched the jade match, it was divided into two halves and did not enter the fusion jade match.
"You can also put this away, you must wear it wherever you go!"
took the jade match, and Ling'er also put it into the long skirt.
Just immediately, she suddenly jumped up and kissed Liu Ziang's face. "Thank you, Dad!"
Liu Ziang's face instantly became as red as a pig's liver, and he straightened his body so straight that he couldn't be straighter, coughing lightly and continuously.
Lori jumped to the lake one by one.
"Huh!" An obviously unhappy voice came out, "Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant, it is rumored that Jade Pendant and the Liu family can sense each other and know their location for thousands of miles!" In ancient times, the Liu family relied on this jade pendant to contact each other. ”
"Such an important token, you can give it when you say it, it's really generous!"
Liu Ziang looked up and saw Xu Ling's face full of unhappiness.
I don't know what I'm upset about.
"Plop!"
"Plop!"
Two soft sounds came out, and the fat man and Xu Er jumped into the water one after the other.
Although he knew that there would be no danger, Liu Ziang and Xu Ling ran quickly to the lake.
Soon, the waves that Ling'er and Fat Man had jumped into the water were gone.
The wind is calm, and the birds are silent!
Liu Ziang was okay, Xu Ling beside her was extremely nervous, panting one by one.
Afraid that Xu Ling would not be able to mention it in one breath, Liu Ziang had to open his mouth and change the topic.
"There's a problem!"
"Paintings and bones, you said they were all washed out by the flood. At best, however, this area will only be affected by floods, not the source of floods. Why did you decide to be here? ”
In fact, since last night, Liu Ziang has always had this question in his heart.
Yesterday's heavy rain, but the water did not even rise out of the riverbed, and there could be no flooding.
Xu Ling's attention finally shifted a little from Xu Ling.
Her face was a little relieved, and she opened her mouth, just about to say something.
Suddenly, a strange voice came out.
It seemed to be a musical sound, or a strange sound made up of an instrument.
Although it is messy, there is a very strange sense of rhythm. Hearing it makes people dizzy and their hearts palpitate.
But in this discomfort, there is also a trace of indescribable comfort, as if the blood flow rate suddenly accelerated, which made people can't help but be excited.
Liu Ziang and Xu Ling turned around one after another.
Only then did I see that in the distance, a team was slowly walking towards this side.
They must have come from a town looming not far away.
The ranks, mostly ordinary people, were located in the rear.
At the top of the room, there are musicians holding various musical instruments, and their faces are painted with strange camouflage, which seems to be facial makeup.
They beat gongs or drums. There are also trumpets, gongs, erhu and so on.
At the front of the line, there was a man dressed in tattered clothes, with strips of cloth draping from his upper body, and a strange mask on his head.
As the eerie music continued to play, the man danced and led the way forward.
There are no coffins in the procession, so it is not a funeral team.
But some people still resist the sacrifice of some pig's head and ox's head. But the most are big black jars.
"There are still some witchcraft in Hunan Province. The leader should be the local shaman. But what is it doing, I really don't know! Xu Ling muttered, looking at Liu Ziang strangely.
The headquarters of the Zhushen Division had been in Hunan Province, and she thought that Liu Ziang might know something.
It's a pity that Liu Ziang only shook his head, "The Wubu sacrifice activities in Hunan Province are different. It is not too much to say that it is ten miles different. ”
"I guess this is a sacrifice, a snake sacrifice? But I really don't know what I want! ”
