Chapter 35: The Stink
......
The yellow talisman burned, and then the silver powder that was wrapped in the yellow talisman also burned..... Two burning things swooped down on the bamboo pole.
After a few moments, the flames disappeared, and a black mark appeared on the withered yellow bamboo pole.
Walked in and took a closer look:
"How does this look like an elf's handprint?"
The handprint was held black on the bamboo pole, and when he reached out and touched it. There was a chill on the handprint, and behind the chill was the smell of decay.
"It stinks!"
"It's the smell of corpses!"
It was not the first time that Wang Dahai had smelled such a smell, and the east gate nodded: "It has obviously been a while since the smell of corpses appeared. If Ankang followed, he would be able to directly tell that thing had been a few days old based on the degree of corpse smell. β
"How many days have it been in your preliminary estimate?" Wang Dahai asked.
"It's hard to say!" Dongmen looked up at the sky that revealed the meaning of coldness: "It's the same as I can't estimate the situation inside this mountain, but the minimum should be within half a month to a month." β
"How long has it been since the haunting of the Blue Sea Villa?"
Wang Dahai asked Manager Gao Ping, and Gao Ping replied: "A month and a week ago!" β
At this moment, in this deep mountain and old forest, Gao Ping didn't have to worry about the wall having ears, and he could see that Gao Ling trusted Wang Dahai, the elf, very much. So he took the initiative to reveal a little bit of real information.
However.....
The Internet said that there was a haunted incident a week ago.
It seems that before this, the people of Bihai Villa had already discovered these things and tried to suppress them. It's a pity that it still ended in failure in the end......
That is to say, in the middle, Bihai Villa may have tried to solve these problems.
Wang Dahai immediately asked, "So what did the group of elves who came here say before?" β
Gao Ping was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Dahai in surprise, and Dongmen instantly understood what Wang Dahai meant: "What did he say about the conclusion made by the elves who solved the haunted incident here before us." β
Gao Ping didn't veto it directly, he turned around, and turned around and left for a while, citing the need for a phone call.
After a while, he came back again, and after contacting Gao Ling by phone, he got Gao Ling's permission. He just revealed a little truth again: "Before this, there were three waves of elves, and in addition to the first two groups of liars, the third group of elves is still a little strong!" β
"What about their conclusions?"
"The conclusion should be consistent with the direction you are currently looking for!"
Gao Ping looked up at the depths of the mountain: "The resentment is in a certain corner of this deep mountain, but he can't be sure. β
Gao Ping said that the elf had set up a formation here, raised the altar, and was even injured, very badly.
Even so, I still haven't found where the source is.
And the elf was very particular, and after defeat, he didn't take a penny, even if he was seriously injured, he didn't ask for medical expenses.
But the strength of Bihai Villa obviously doesn't care about the money, and it won't owe other elves because of the money. What should be given should be given, and the medical expenses have also been doubled.
Wang Dahai likes to deal with this kind of elf who is very organized.
He looked at the east gate: "What do you think?" β
"If that elf is strong enough?" Dongmen speculated: "If you can't find the source after setting up the altar, I'm afraid I'll be choked enough." But I can't rule out that the elf's strength is not as powerful as mine! β
With his head down, he continued to walk in the direction of the black handprint all the way to the depths of the bamboo forest.
The two possibilities mentioned by Dongmen exist objectively, but after Wang Dahai joined, this possibility of objective existence naturally became another great possibility.
The premise is that you have to get close to the so-called truth before you can do it.
Dongmen didn't use tools like the compass, and even if he had these things with him, many times he just didn't want to use them when he didn't use them. He compares himself to a dog, a dog who is sensitive to evil spirits.
He could smell the depths of this cold bamboo forest, where the same cold evil qi was.
In this way, he soon found a second yellow bamboo.
Then came the third, and then the fourth......
These withered yellow bamboos are shaded deep in the bamboo forest and are extremely difficult to find. With the first one as a reference, even if he didn't have to perform the previous small moves later, even Gao Ping knew that there was a black handprint somewhere in that bamboo. He subconsciously dodged a little.
The three elves chased the withered yellow bamboo all the way to the end of the bamboo forest.
There was the sound of running water......
The sound of the water is murmuring, and it sounds somewhat pleasant.
After passing through the bamboo forest, the stream that had fallen from the mountain appeared in front of them.
Dongmen and Wang Dahai then walked to the water's edge, and Dongmen squatted down, reached out and scooped a little water into his nose and sniffed it.
Nodding his head, he should be sure that there is nothing wrong with the stream.
Immediately drank it in a big gulp, Wang Dahai also felt a little thirsty, and by the way, he also drank two sips, the stream water was sweet, and it was very cold after entering the mouth.
However, Manager Gao Ping stood there and did not move.
He knew that the streams in many places of Bihai Mountain Villa seemed to be natural, but in fact, most of them were created by the heavenly spirits.
So he wasn't interested in what the elves had created for him.
When Dongmen and Wang Dahai got up, he asked where he was going next.
The east gate pointed to the upper reaches of the stream: "Go up here!" β
The three elves set out again, and there was no way up the mountain along the stream. So they had to crawl out of the road for a while. However, the action of climbing can only be placed on Gao Ping's body, and the two elves in front of him show a way of letting the road be bumpy, but still walking like flying.
If they hadn't waited for him on purpose, the two elves would probably have already arrived on the mountain.
So when they reached the top of the mountain, it was already two and a half hours later.
It was just noonβ
The east gate looked at the sun, and then at the source of the stream.
"Here we are, here it is!"
Gao Ping also followed the sound and looked over, only to see that the stream was coming out from under a stone.
Wang Dahai then jumped on top of the stone, and Dongmen asked, "How is it?" β
Wang Dahai shook his head: "It's rotten!" β
"How rotten?"
"Stomp on it!"
Dongmen and Gao Ping immediately followed, and looked at the place where Jiang Heng was standing, and sure enough, there was a slight crack surrounding the stone.
It went around in a circle......
And there really is a footprint on that stone.
Guessing deeply, Gao Ping stared at the footprints: "This elf is not wearing shoes?" β
Shoes are not the point!
The point is that the depth of that footprint was half an inch thick, and after stepping on this stone, there were no footprints of his in the vicinity.
How???
"It should be there!"
The east gate's hand pointed upward......
......
On the trees!
This is already obvious!
First he talked about a corpse, then he said that something had broken a stone with one foot, and then the reason why he didn't leave a mark along the way was that he was walking in a tree.
Gao Ping didn't dare to associate the front one with the back two.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like for a corpse to walk on a tree or smash a stone.
And at this time, voices other than the three elves also appeared nearby.
Gao Ping, who was still pondering what was going on with the corpse, was shocked heavily.
"Elve?"
Wang Dahai's figure moved, and instantly burst out with his flying elf-like speed, and instantly chased after the voice.
At this moment, Gao Ping looked at Wang Dahai in a trance: "I'm not mistaken, right?" And he just disappeared? β
"Is it fast or slow?" Dongmen asked coldly.
Gao Ping was shocked: Soon? Or is it slow?
How to describe this, at the moment this place is completely a mountain forest with no roads. That Wang Dahai was able to disappear from his sight at a speed of almost 100 meters of sprint, and it was hard to imagine what Wang Dahai's speed would be if it was placed on a normal road section.
The East Gate continued to follow the trail he had found again.
Gao Ping, who had already realized that Wang Dahai was a hidden master, hurriedly asked out loud, "Don't you wait for Principal Jiang?" β
"Wait for yourself!" Dongmen walked forward without looking back: "I don't want to delay time, otherwise we won't be able to go back before the evening, do you plan to lay a floor in this mountain forest?" β
It makes sense that Gao Ping's body had followed the east gate before he could think clearly. Because in his cognition, this guy who used to talk and is now calm is obviously deliberately hiding his strength. The changes in the two states before and after are mainly manifested in the looks.
Gao Ping followed him as if he were by the side of the skilled Wang Dahai, and not long after the two elves walked further, they met again.
"Didn't catch up?"
Dongmen looked at Wang Dahai, who was returning empty-handed, and asked, Wang Dahai shook his head: "It's a wild boar!" β
Will there be wild boars in this wooded area?
Even Gao Ping didn't believe this.
But continuing to track it was clearly something they had to do.
Especially before the sun goes downβ
At last the source of the stream was near.
When I arrived, I found that this stream was actually a natural source of spring water. It wasn't dug out by them themselves. That's a rarity! Gao Ping secretly wrote down the location of this place and went back to tell Gao Ling, which was also a selling point.
It's also a casual thing to create some hot springs or something like that from this natural spring.
And Dongmen and Wang Dahai, two guys who are not business elves, are standing at the source and looking around: "Have elves come?" Or maybe the boar has been here! β
Dongmen asked Wang Dahai: "Do you know that wild boar?" β
Wang Dahai turned around, and not far away, several figures approached silently, and this silence was obviously aimed at Gao Ping.
Wang Dahai and Dongmen's gaze, which had already been determined, had obviously been discovered a long time ago.
Looking at the few figures that walked slowly, accompanied by a cloud of red smoke, they approached Wang Dahai and the east gate.
Dongmen snorted coldly: "Carving insect skills!" β
The yellow talisman in his hand appeared instantly, and the volley moved, and the yellow talisman passed, and while the flames burned, a violent wind instantly blew the red smoke away.
Wang Dahai took a step forward slightly, standing there staring at the elves who came, the three of them, all wearing suits and leather shoes, looked much more magnificent than Wang Dahai and them.
That Gao Ping hurriedly introduced-this is ......
It's just that the elves on both sides obviously don't want him, an outsider elf, to intervene at this time.
The man in a long black suit among the three elves smiled softly: "The floating weeds gather, unpredictable clutch, after separation, in a trance dream, who has ever said that Chang'an will also be happy!" β
To be honest, he was dressed like a European and American elf, so when the ancient poems in his mouth came out, he also felt nondescript.
Dongmen took a slight breath, and the red smoke remaining in the air: "Is it a acacia?" β
The man in the suit smiled: "Don't worry, there is no medicine, so that little effect will naturally have no effect on you!" β
Effect?
Dongmen sneered: "If you want to achieve the effect you expected in front of us, you are overestimating yourself." β
The man in the suit was not dissatisfied with Dongmen's crazy words, still maintained a seemingly habitual smile, and continued to ask: "This brother looks familiar?" β
"We've seen it!"
Dongmen said: "Magician Club, you invited me to drink at your place, but Lao Tzu didn't go." β
The man in the suit said again: "We won't invite the elves to drink casually, dare to ask your Excellency's name!" β
"There are no big names, and there are no small names!"
Dongmen turned around, showing an expression of extreme reluctance to stay with this guy on his face: "Manager Gao, will you stop here today?" If you check it again, it will be dark, the road on the mountain is not easy to walk, and it is inconvenient to move at night! β
"It's a little dark!" Feeling the atmosphere that was wrong with the elven horses on both sides, Gao Ping looked at the already dull sky, and then nodded: "The room has been arranged for the two of you, please come with me!" Mr. He, do you want to go down together? β
"No!" Mr. He smiled: "The scenery here is good, I'll look at it for a while." β
After watching the three elves leave, he turned around and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.
As for where he was going, Wang Dahai and Dongmen had no interest in looking back at all.
However, after Gao Ping looked back twice, he turned around and explained to Wang Dahai and Dongmen: "This elf's name is He Huan, and he is also invited to ...... like you."
"We don't mind!" Dongmen said indifferently: "I can see that they came earlier than us." We're just plugging in halfway! β
As he spoke, he and Wang Dahai muttered quietly as they walked down the mountain.
Gao Ping chased after him quickly, but in the end, he couldn't catch up with these two elves.
But fortunately, after leaving the bamboo forest, they waited outside, most of them were also careful that the road down the mountain was not easy to walk.
Don't run into wild boars again.
After leaving the mountain road where he came, the east gate specially arranged: "Before the matter is clarified, it is better to close this place first!" β
Closed?
Gao Ping also thought about this, it seemed too weird there. I'm afraid that if any more elves go in, it will obviously ...... But for such a big thing as closure, you still have to discuss it with Gao Ling.
At this time, Dongmen asked Wang Dahai: "Is he the wild boar?" β
Wang Dahai said in a cold voice: "I don't see that it's a wild boar, it's still a guy I don't like very much!" β
"Who?"
"Illusionist!"
Illusionists at the Magicians' Club!
