Chapter 107: The Trick Lamp
According to Duan Ruoxue's analysis, the unknown plants found in the bodies of the three Xiong Guo** children may be related to these woods.
Then the matter naturally involves Pisces Jade Pei and Qin Longzhu, and I think this possibility is still relatively large.
Because of the human-faced strange tree, I have seen it myself, from the moment we entered the ghost tower, it seems that there are strange trees, the strange man-hunting vine and the roots that frantically chase us in the end, are they all related to the human-faced strange tree?
It's just that there are still some questions here that I still don't understand.
Isn't the Human-Face Monster Tree supposed to be in that grotto of the Ghost Valley?
How come there seems to be a shadow of it after arriving at this village?
In addition, why do Mu Sang and Grandma Liu regard these woods as gods and offer them like door gods?
These are all unknown mysteries......
And what I'm most worried about is that the Immortal Bone Golden Seal may have been hidden by Mu Sang, and if we rush to the forbidden land now, not only may we not be able to save my father and Professor Duan, but even we ourselves are in danger of being trapped.
The four of us worked out many of these doubts one by one, and we all said that the three stinkers were Zhuge Liang, and maybe they could find some clues from them.
Tie San was the first to speak, "After tonight, Mu Sang will definitely be more guarded, if you want to continue to investigate him, it will be almost impossible." ”
"Moreover, a few of us are likely to have been exposed, and we can only hide in the shadows in the future, if we blatantly appear in the village, Mu Sang will definitely send someone to arrest us!"
The three of us nodded, what Tie San said did make sense, Mu Sang was a smart man, and he would definitely think that it was us who entered his room at the first time.
Now that the matter has not been completely figured out, I have become a 'street rat' that everyone shouts and beats, which is really embarrassing to think about.
Duan Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Since they all suspect that the people in the village may be a substitute copied by Mu Sang, why don't we investigate what's strange here?" Maybe you can find a breakthrough in it! ”
"Not bad!"
Wang Ling'er nodded in agreement, "Mu Sang doesn't need to put the ready-made living people in the original village, if you have to get some replicas, there must be weirdness in them!" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Let's start with the middle-aged man next to Mu Sang, that guy has always defended Mu Sang, and he should know a little secret." ”
When Tie San heard me mention the middle-aged man, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "That person's name is Shi Kai, and he is also a cunning guy, so it's not easy to deal with." ”
I said, "He's definitely worse than Musang, and as long as we are careful, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with him." ”
The corners of Wang Ling'er's mouth rose slightly, and she said to me: "Since you are so confident, just leave this matter to you." ”
"Leave it to me?"
"yes, aren't you pretty confident in what you just said?" Wang Ling'er looked at me with a smile.
I hurriedly said, "Sister Ling'er, don't be joking at this time." ”
"Who is joking with you, I'm going to get down to business with you." Wang Ling'er is a serious way.
I looked at her speechlessly, and was about to speak.
Tie San said in a deep voice: "I'll do this matter, first, I am familiar with the terrain of the village, and second, I have a certain understanding of Shi Kai." ”
"No, uncle, how can I let you go alone!" Wang Ling'er hurriedly glanced at me, "Lu Yuan, why don't you go with your uncle." ”
Then, she looked at Duan Ruoxue and said, "Sister Ruoxue and I are responsible for going to other places to check." ”
How can I not understand what Wang Ling'er means, she is a little trustworthy but Tie San.
So I immediately nodded and said, "That's okay, we will divide our soldiers into two ways, and there will always be gains on one side." ”
I looked at the time as I spoke, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
Wang Ling'er suggested finding a place to rest first, and now when she goes out, she shouldn't be able to find anything.
Tie San is familiar with the place, and he said that there is a cave on the other side of the col, and few people usually go there, so he can hide there for the time being.
The rest of us followed him to the cave.
As soon as I walked out of the courtyard of Grandma Liu's house, I saw a blurry light beating in the distance.
Triathlon hurriedly took us to a hurdle and squatted down.
Duan Ruoxue said softly, "It seems that someone is over there." ”
Wang Ling'er didn't speak, she poked out half of her head and glanced at it, then waved her hand at us, signaling not to follow, and then quickly lowered her body and ran towards the light.
She was fast, and it didn't take long for her to get there.
After about ten minutes, she scurried back deftly.
"How's that, who's it?" Tie San hurriedly asked.
Wang Ling'er glanced at us, "It's that old woman and Grandma Liu!" ”
"No wonder it's so late, there is no one in Grandma Liu's house, it turns out that they are all outside!"
I asked her, did she see what the two old women were doing?
Wang Ling'er shook her head, "Don't dare to get too close, there's something wrong with that lantern." ”
"What's wrong with the lantern?" Tetsusan wondered.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a ghost lamp!" Wang Ling'er wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said.
"Ghost lights? What ghost lamp? I asked with a frown.
Tie San was also puzzled, obviously the first time he had heard of the ghost lamp.
Duan Ruoxue looked at me and said softly: "The ghost lamp is a fire lit with yin oil, the core of the fire is pale green, it has many uses, and it can be used to attract souls!" ”
Can it be used to induce souls?
As soon as I heard it, I immediately remembered the soul-attracting chicken and soul-attracting incense that Jia Daoguang and Lu Le had used before.
There are all kinds of yin and yang techniques and strange doors in the world, I don't know what the old woman is planning to do when she lights this ghost lamp in the middle of the night?
"In my opinion, they shouldn't be used to attract souls!"
Wang Ling'er shook her head at Duan Ruoxue: "The purpose of Grandma Liu's grinding yin oil, I have never figured it out before, but now that I look at it, I speculate that the main reason is to burn the ghost lamp, according to the analysis of the situation I saw on the side just now, they lit the ghost lamp in the middle of the night, not to attract souls, but to disperse souls!" ”
"Scattered souls?"
"Why do you say that?" Duan Ruoxue was a little unconvinced.
Wang Ling'er glanced at her, "Sister, if you come with me, you will naturally understand if you see it in person." ”
As soon as I heard this, I quickly said, "I'll go over and have a look!" ”
"You, stay and go!"
Wang Ling'er glared at me, "If you are big and followed, you will definitely be noticed by the old woman immediately." ”
"Don't be a-stirring stick!"
I was speechless after hearing this, what do you mean by being a big hand and a-stirring stick?
This Nizi seems to have always had a big opinion of me, and she always has to say a few words with me from time to time to feel comfortable......
Tie San slapped me and persuaded, "The two girls are agile, let's just wait." ”
It didn't take long for Wang Ling'er and Duan Ruoxue to move back.
I asked, do you understand?
Duan Ruoxue nodded and said, "They are indeed scattering their souls!" ”
I said, "What kind of soul is scattered in this place?"
Duan Ruoxue said that there was a problem underground.
Wang Ling'er also meant this, and she suggested that when the old woman and the women left, she would go over and take a closer look.
Triathlon took us to a secluded place, and waited for more than half an hour before the old woman left with the lights on.
Seeing that they were finally gone, Tie San couldn't wait to lean over immediately.
Duan Ruoxue grabbed Tie San and shook her head to signal him to wait for a while.
I was inexplicable, and when I saw that Wang Ling'er also meant the same thing, I asked what was going on?
Duan Ruoxue said softly, "The soul over there hasn't been dispersed yet, and now it's only going to get dirty in the past." ”
I asked, "What's dirty?"
Wang Ling'er said: "If you are delirious, you will be delirious, and if you are serious, you will be killed!" ”
Tie San was surprised when he heard this: "Is it that serious?" ”
"Of course you don't know, there's a weird baby buried in the ground!"
"Weird babies?"
Triathlon and I were both amazed when we heard this.
I said, "Is that weird baby out of the mouth of the grimace?" ”
"Or else?" Wang Ling'er glared at me.
Tie San was stunned for a moment, looked straight at Wang Ling'er with his eyes and said, "Then you mean, the old woman, are they scattering the souls of these strange babies?" ”
Duan Ruoxue nodded slightly, "I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it, because the underground is indeed buried with strange babies, and their methods are indeed using ghost lamps to disperse souls!" ”
Duan Ruoxue said that the ghost lamp has many uses, it can attract souls and gather souls, and at the same time, it can also disperse souls, depending on how the user operates.
This girl is more patient, and seeing that I seem to be quite interested in the ghost lantern thing, when she said this, she briefly gave an example.
For example, if a ghost lamp is used to attract souls, then first of all, the flames in the lantern will keep beating because there are countless yin qi rushing around.
Secondly, the ghost lamp will move slowly on the ground, which is called "the soul to hold the lamp." ”
And if it is used to disperse the soul, on the contrary, the flame of the ghost lamp will not beat, and the flame will burn smaller and smaller until it is finally extinguished, so it needs to be maintained by adding yin oil to ensure that the flame is not extinguished.
After listening to this, I was particularly puzzled and asked, "Isn't the strange baby only in the backyard of Musang's house, why are there also here?" ”
"And, what are they going to do with the souls of the strange babies?"
Wang Ling'er tilted her mouth at me and said, "You think you can't figure it out alone, so I said that it will be clear when I go over and take a look at it later!" ”
