Chapter 185: Disguise
Xu Lang looked at the two palm-sized scarecrows next to the spiritual seat, and his heart was shocked!
Sure enough, this Chen Wenjin has something to do with the scarecrow.
Whether it's the large swath of straw in the warehouse, or the scarecrow today, it is a complete indication of this.
Judging from all kinds of abnormalities, straw is full of great symbolic significance for Taohua Village.
And what made Xu Lang's hairs stand on end the most was that he obviously felt that since he approached this ear chamber, especially after seeing the scarecrow next to the spiritual seat, his backpack was getting heavier and heavier!
The weight of that share rose almost geometrically, originally he seemed to have five or six pounds on his back, but now it has almost grown to about ten pounds!
This strange change caught Xu Lang off guard, and he couldn't figure out why there was such a change.
Xu Lang's waist was even more bent, and he wanted to open the backpack to see if the scarecrow inside had really changed.
But reason told him that it must not be opened!
He didn't know if it was the spirit or the scarecrow, which caused the weight of his bag to change.
If they meet each other, whether there will be more strange changes, no one can say.
Xu Lang didn't dare to take this risk at all, and to this day, he still hasn't figured out what the role of the scarecrow is!
But he could almost conclude now that the scarecrow that appeared on him was definitely not helping them!
Nameless saw Xu Lang's face change on the side, and came to the front and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Lang looked at him with an ugly face, and then asked, "The scarecrow in your bag, has there been any change?" ”
Nameless shook his head, and quickly understood.
"What do you mean......"
Xu Lang nodded, "That's right, it's heavier!" ”
Xu Lang looked back at some of the rest of the executors again, and they didn't seem to have anything abnormal.
Then now only Xu Lang's scarecrow has changed.
Xu Lang couldn't figure it out, why was his scarecrow so special?
But after a moment, it occurred to him that on the plane, he had once been pierced by sharp straw on his fingertips.
Xu Lang raised his injured thumb and looked at the small opening on his finger that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Could it be because of blood?
Although Xu Lang didn't know much about it, he had seen some of it.
Many of the protagonists' magic weapons are recognized by dripping blood.
But these are all made up, how can they come true.
And they are not cultivating immortals now, but dealing with evil spirits, it is obvious that this scarecrow is definitely not a good thing, it is likely to be a monster.
Xu Lang looked at his fingers, could it be that blood can activate the special changes of the scarecrow?
Then he looked at the spirit table and the two scarecrows.
Are those two scarecrows, the one in Xu Lang's bag, the same kind?
Now the scarecrow in Xu Lang's bag has changed again, because they are ...... Or is there another reason?
But why hasn't the scarecrow in the hands of others changed in this way?
There is no mention of the Scarecrow in the mission information.
It's just that after they got on the plane, they automatically appeared, and since the newspaper didn't mention it, then this monster ......
Xu Lang touched the backpack behind him, the scarecrow is obviously a scourge to keep, if we throw it away, can we avoid the disaster?
But then he shook his head again.
Now, although the scarecrow has produced strange changes, it has not yet revealed its evil side, and its role is unclear.
It's too early to decide.
Xu Lang waved his hand and said to everyone: "Forget it, there is nothing to see here, let's go to other places to see." ”
Of course, everyone didn't have any opinions, they all wanted to leave here quickly, looking at the old objects with a retro atmosphere all over the wall, especially the two spiritual seats in the center, and felt their hearts cold.
The feeling of coldness around them only intensified their fear.
Hearing Xu Lang say that he was leaving, he quickened his pace and walked out one by one.
Xu Lang looked around again, took one last look at the two spirit positions, and was about to turn around and leave.
But suddenly he lowered his head again, stopped, and looked back at the spiritual position again.
Nameless saw that he seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Lang pointed in the direction of the spiritual position and said softly: "Ancestor Chen Huayu, ancestor Chen Lingyun...... Chen Wenjin's parents are both surnamed Chen. ”
Nameless frowned, "What's this, parents with the same surname abound, and this is not uncommon." ”
The footsteps of Rong Chuan and the others also stopped because of Xu Lang's actions, and when they heard Xu Lang's words, they didn't care.
It's just two people with the same surname, and it doesn't mean anything.
But Xu Lang shook his head: "In the vast sea of people in the country, it is nothing for two people with the same surname to get married, but here are all remote mountainous areas, the population is so small, and Chen Wenjin is inextricably linked with Taohua Village."
It's hard for me not to speculate like this, first of all, Chen Wenjin is actually from Peach Blossom Village, and her purpose in opening a hotel here is to serve as the village's eyeliner.
Judging from the surnames of her parents, could it be that Taohua Village is a big family surnamed Chen, and Chen Wenjin is the product of family marriage. ”
Nameless nodded slightly, "You mean, Peach Blossom Village can actually be called Chenjia Village?" ”
Xu Lang looked at the spirit position in front of him and said slowly: "The probability of a small probability event in the task is far greater than a high probability event, so there are so many coincidences.
And obviously, the current surname Chen is the first coincidence of this mission! ”
Rong Chuan didn't quite understand, "But even if that's the case, what does that mean?" ”
Xu Lang smiled and said: "It seems that there is not much value now, but when the mission continues, it may become a clue to the way out, at least it can be regarded as one of the few pieces of information now." ”
Rong Chuan nodded thoughtfully, looked at Xu Lang's departing back, and didn't speak for a while.
Several people walked towards the depths of the secret passage again, and as they walked next, the sound of wind had already come from the closed passage, and even the sound of rain could be faintly heard.
Xu Lang raised his head and whispered, "It seems that the secret room is so big, we should come to the warehouse location outside." ”
Nameless nodded, "Then your previous conjecture is completely correct, the warehouse is really an exit!" ”
Xu Lang didn't continue to speak, and continued to walk forward.
They hadn't gone far before they felt like they were going uphill at this time, and it was estimated that they would walk a short distance before they walked out of the secret passage and came to the warehouse location.
But Xu Lang's flashlight flickered, and a box seemed to appear in front of him.
Nameless took out the golden knife and nodded at Xu Lang.
Then he stepped forward, took the lead in inserting the knife into the box, and with a slight force, the box opened in response.
Nameless confirmed that there was no danger, and then beckoned to Xu Lang and the others.
Xu Lang took out a flashlight and aimed it, and he understood it when he saw it.
When Rong Chuan and the others saw this, they also showed their expressions.
Inside the box, there was a dripping coat, which was rarely seen now, and a hat.
What surprised Xu Lang the most was that there was also a pair of stilts inside!
He lifted it up and flipped it, and the wooden stilts made a tapping sound on the wooden box.
It's like the sound of a person's footsteps!
Rong Chuan and the others all had different expressions, but they were all embarrassed and ashamed that was difficult to hide.
I didn't expect that the evil spirits that made them scatter before were really as Xu Lang said, and they were really artificially pretended!
John was by the wall, pointing at the stilts and scolding, Rong Chuan looked at Xu Lang's calm eyes, and faintly gave birth to a trace of admiration from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, with very few clues, Xu Lang could conclude that everything was an illusion through his keen observation and rich mission experience.
This superhuman judgment is really admirable.
At this time, Xu Lang didn't put too much thought on this, and now he has completely thought of these things.
After a cursory glance, Xu Lang withdrew his gaze.
But then he frowned slightly, and turned the box over again.
Everything was knocked out of the box by him and thrown on the ground.
After a moment, he looked up, "Something is wrong! ”
When Rong Chuan and the others heard this, what they were most afraid of at this time was that Xu Lang would say such things, which meant that things would be reversed again.
The crowd nervously asked, "What do you think of?" ”
Xu Lang pointed to the pile of camouflaged clothes on the ground, and said slowly: "There are no shoes in here!" ”
Shoes?
Rong Chuan only felt a flash of lightning pass through his mind, and suddenly remembered the string of wet footprints outside their room before!
It is a triangular pyramidal shaped shoe print!
He couldn't help but exclaim: "Three-inch golden lotus!" ”
Then he crouched on the ground and began to look at the pair of stilts, and below them were boxy squares, completely different from the previous shoe prints!
Then he raised his head in a panic, looked at Xu Lang and said, "Chen Wenjin is lying!" ”
Xu Lang's face was grim, and he raised his head and looked in the direction of Chen Wenjin's room,
"Chen Wenjin's feet can't wear that kind of shoes at all,
I originally thought that Chen Wenjin was the one who pretended to be an evil spirit, but now it seems that all the costumes are placed here, but there are no shoes, which means that the person who pretends to be an evil spirit does not need to change his shoes at all!
Only women who are old and bound in their feet can walk out of such footprints! ”
Nameless had a very bad feeling in his heart, "You mean, there is another person in this inn besides us!" ”
There was a loud bang in the sky, and lightning appeared again.
And Xu Lang, who was underground, suddenly remembered something, waved his hand and shouted urgently to everyone: "Hurry back and see if Chen Wenjin is still there!" ”
Xu Lang and the others began to run briskly upward, and at the end of the secret passage, there was a hanging rope.
The nameless one in the front pulled suddenly, and a slide suddenly appeared in the space above, and when everyone came up, they saw that the mechanism was located on the wall where the oil lamp was lit before!
But at this point, I can't take care of that.
They began to run towards Chen Wenjin's room at a rapid pace.
But when they entered the room, they had already seen Chen Wenjin on the original bed, who had long since disappeared.
And on the floor, there are still residual water stains, and it is obvious that someone has taken the lead in rescuing Chen Wenjin!
Looking at the water stains on the ground, Xu Lang's face was gloomy and frightening, standing in place without saying a word, his eyes were gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking......
