Chapter 15 The Stockade
The two who came in before were the mole and the slaughter door, but the foot strength of the two people was surprisingly good, and they didn't know what corner they had run to, it was dark here, just now they just ran for their lives, and they didn't even have time to turn on the flashlight, just rushed to the dark, Li Luant turned on the light of the flashlight, but saw that this place was empty, and there were two wooden village-like buildings on the right, but they were about to collapse.
It's really strange, how could this good bottom of the sea suddenly build a wooden village?
Li Luant guessed that there should have been more wooden villages here, because the collapsed ruins seemed to be made of the same materials as those wooden villages.
Luan Jingjing was strange, "Those things also have fish scales, but Nie Fengshui can't kill them with a gun, why can that Tumen just stretch out his knife and harvest their lives in one fell swoop?" β
Li Luant guessed, "It should be that those things are life forms that have not yet fully evolved, I have observed that most of the scales on their bodies are close to skin color, and they have not yet appeared black, so they cannot form a protective layer such as armor, and they are not tough enough, and their skin is no different from ordinary fish, so naturally they do not pose any threat except for indiscriminate biting." β
Luan Jingjing seemed to understand, "That Tumen is really strange, we don't know him, he seems to be a person who kills people without blinking, and he actually has the kindness to let us go." "I started to take a leisurely walk.
Li Luant couldn't help but smile after hearing this: where is his good intentions, but at the beginning, he didn't want to let the people on Song Zhao's side take advantage of him, because of the sudden appearance of his own factor, he wanted to fight for his side, and hoped that he would repay the favor, but later he didn't make a move on himself, but also because he and Luan Jingjing did not constitute an obstacle when he escaped.
Li Luant was sure that if Luan Jingjing and himself showed a hint of obstruction at that time, then Tumen would never be merciful!
Song Zhao and Shen Yunyun were closest to the exit, so the group was all surrounded, and two or three people from Tumen escaped, and I don't know where they are hiding now.
At this time, Li Luant didn't know about Shen Yunyun, so when Song Zhao appeared alone later, and there was no Shen Yunyun by his side, he was slightly surprised.
The reason for this is that they are afraid of being assassinated, and their brothers can kill each other for the sake of treasure, not to mention that Shen Yunyun and Song Zhao are just a halfway monk.
The ancient village has been in disrepair for a long time, and this piece of heaven and earth has appeared abruptly because of the broken walls, so that the two of them have no idea of exploring more, and more is better than less. The two of them were ready to find a way out, so they left the place directly.
That Song Zhao has a map in his hand, but Li Luant doesn't, and now everything can only rely on his own exploration.
When the two walked around these villages, they found that there were quite a few villages, large and small, almost forming a village, obviously not just a whim, this village obviously had its own unique use when it was first established.
"Does this mean anything in Feng Shui?" After looking for a long time, she didn't find any breakthrough, all the knowledge that Luan Jingjing mastered, she couldn't explain everything she saw in front of her, so she could only turn to Li Green Ant for help, although she didn't want to admit it, but Li Green Ant did know astronomy and geography, even if it was his best historical knowledge, only what he didn't know, and there was nothing he didn't know, and the difference between Li Green Ant and himself was that he didn't have the title of professor in his hand.
Zhuge Bagua Village is located in the west of Lanxi City, Zhejiang, and was originally called Gaolong Village. According to research, the village was founded by Zhuge Dashi, the twenty-seventh grandson of Zhuge Liang, in the Yuan Dynasty. Zhuge Dashi once left a testament, saying, "My life's energy is all in the two houses of yin and yang, and there may be disasters after I go, so be careful." This passage reveals at least two pieces of information: first, Zhuge Dashi's life energy is "all in the two houses of yin and yang", which shows that he has studied feng shui deeply; Second, Zhuge Bagua Village was consciously established in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui.
Later, the two grandsons of Zhuge Dashi were convicted one after another, so some people said that this land was a murderous land, but Zhuge Dashi had spoken first, and his descendants did not move out of Zhuge Village according to his wishes. In the next few hundred years, although Zhuge Village has experienced disasters, they have survived, and later "assets gradually improved, and heroes have emerged".
The most peculiar thing about Zhuge Bagua Village is that its layout is exquisite and mysterious. Looking down from the sky, the whole village is in the shape of gossip, and the distribution of houses and alleys happens to coincide with the Zhuge Liang's Nine Palace Bagua Array recorded in history. The terrain of the village is complex, the layout of the houses and alleys is changeable, the alleys in the village seem to be connected, the twists and turns are mysterious, like a labyrinth, if there is no local guidance, it is really difficult to find a way out. It is said that during the Northern Expedition, Xiao Jinguang of the National Revolutionary Army and the warlord Sun Chuanfang fought fiercely near the village for three days, and the village was unharmed. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders passed by Gaolonggang Lower Avenue, but they did not find this prosperous village.
There are thousands of buildings in the village, face to face, back to back, lanes vertical and horizontal, like connected but broken, like open but closed, virtual and real unpredictable. Strangers rush into the village, often without the right way to enter or get out. When thieves arrive, they are often caught.
Zhuge Dashi used his exquisite knowledge of feng shui and carefully designed the layout of the entire Bagua Village according to the concept of the Nine Palaces Bagua: with the bell pool as the core, eight alleys radiate outward to form the inner Bagua; The wonderful thing is that there are just eight hills outside the village, forming an encircling trend and constituting an outer gossip. The village is high in the southeast and low in the northwest, backed by the mountain and facing the flowing water.
The houses in the village are high and scattered; The traffic in the laneway echoes from all directions. The houses in the village are distributed in eight alleys, although after hundreds of years, the people are thriving, and more and more houses are built, but the overall layout of the Nine Palaces Bagua has not changed. It is said that this is the first village in China with a Bagua layout. The whole village is a huge living cultural relic, a model of the perfect combination of ancient Chinese villages, ancient houses and feng shui laws.
Luan Jingjing listened to Li Luant's explanation and replied, "I did know a thing or two about the village you said, but is there anything in common with the situation in front of you?" β
Li Luant smiled, "I had a strange feeling at the first sight of those ruins, these ancient villages were made at least more than 2,500 years ago, it stands to reason that this is on the sea, the humidity is very large, but there are still precarious buildings that have not collapsed, this is because of feng shui, so that some more important buildings stand on the tuyere." β
Li Green Ant walked step by step around the ancient village, with his feet as a ruler, measuring each warp and latitude of the ancient village, and finally found that it was really as he guessed, and immediately said, "The layout of Zhuge Village is a collection of Zhuge heirs' life's work, although this ancient village is slightly inferior, but it can barely be compared to one or two." β
With Luan Jingjing, "If my expectations are good, the best ancestral hall preserved in this village must be inββ" walked out of a hundred steps, but saw that in the center of the village, the stars and the moon contained a boxy wall, pushed the door in, and the shrine was enshrined on the niche sill at the end of the day, and there was no chaos.
Luan Jingjing's eyes widened immediately: she was really right.
The two of them did not go to investigate the stockade outside, because Li Luant always had an illusion, as if more than 2,500 years ago, there was a kind of creature that was trapped in this stockade for life and could not get out, and this stockade was the shackle that sealed them. Therefore, as soon as the two stepped into this land, it seemed that there was still a village that had not collapsed, and there were countless pairs of eyes looking at the two of them with resentment, jealous that the two of them could walk in this world as they wanted.
This kind of feeling like a fish in the throat and a man's back is really numb, if Li Luant didn't want to find some way to leave here in this most important ancestral hall, he would definitely not have run to the ancestral hall in the village.
The front wall of the ancestral hall is 29 meters wide, it is a figure-of-eight shape, and then it is the Lingxing Gate, the gate is painted with the painted door god, and then there are two stele pavilions built on the left and right, and the stele is erected in it. Then enter the instrument gate, on both sides of the instrument gate, the stone drum confrontation. Behind the gatehouse is a courtyard, with a city road leading to the main hall, and both sides are paved with blue striped stones. Bucket arch overhang, with huge materials, exquisite workmanship. There is only one main hall in the whole building, and there are countless other side rooms.
The main hall is equipped with the main hall main shrine, worship pavilion, gray gang rock flagpole clamp many seats, carved railings and painting buildings, the weather is thousands. Characteristic crafts such as inlaid porcelain, wood carving, stone carving, and lacquer can be seen everywhere. The back wall is lined with 2 stones. An octagonal stone pillar is in the middle of the front, and a stone pillar is erected in front of the gables on both sides, and the eaves are lifted on the top of the stone. Between the central stone pillar and the back wall, a triangular partition beam stone is erected.
Li Green Ant can vaguely see from the material that it used to be green and earthy yellow as the main tone, with contrasting colors such as orange, ochre, and rose red, but now it has almost fallen off into the original wood color, and the original purple and red are now gone, which is a pity.
Luan Jingjing cautiously looked at the basic structure of the building, her skills were still there, and she could see at a glance that this was a building in the Spring and Autumn Period, which coincided with what Li Luant thought in his heart.
Perhaps the ancient villages outside are unrecognizable, and they can no longer be seen in their original appearance, but the construction of this ancestral hall is very clear.
What is enshrined in the shrine is not a Guanyin or a statue, but a black thing that does not slip in autumn, I don't know what it is, black and shiny, a bit like a corpse jade that has been in the soil for a long time, Li Luant looked at it and muttered: This is a big family made up of hundreds of villages, just worship this thing?
There were equidistant lanterns hanging in front of the main hall, but there were no candles, and everything I saw before was the light from the flashlights of the two men.
Li Luant found a strange point: whether it was the tomb of King Guangling or the Fangla Underground Palace, as long as it was an important place as far as the eye could see, this ever-bright lamp would definitely appear, and the flashlight would almost become a chicken rib in that case. Sometimes I see that the lampshade is still there, but there is not even a drop of lamp oil in it, is this Fan Li from the Animal Protectors Association, and love is so overflowing?
It can't be, it's really impossible for Our Lady to give her girlfriend to someone else to cuckold.
Thinking of the entanglement between Xi Shi and Fan Li, it may be sentimental and poignant in the eyes of outsiders, but what really falls in the eyes of sensible people is just a life-and-death contest between green and green, but Xi Shi is really pitiful and a tragic character.
There is a patio in the courtyard, and the corpse jade aroused Li Luant's curiosity, and when he walked towards the corpse jade step by step, Luan Jingjing tentatively looked at the well, because the two of them walked all the way, and she didn't know where this place was, and she also wanted to know whether the water in the well was fresh water or seawater.
The two walked in opposite directions, in the end Li Green Ant was closer, the first to approach the black lump, when you look closer, the black lump enshrined in the shrine does not seem to be a lump, a bit like the bones of a manatee bent and curled up to be dried.
Strange, what the whole village worships is a wild animal?
Li Luant scratched his head, not very understanding this, but smelled a burst of aroma, but saw that a stick of incense was lit in the incense burner next to him, and suddenly his scalp was numb, "Luan Jingjing, go quickly, this is not a ghost village, there is -"
Li Luant was just about to turn back, but suddenly Luan Jingjing stumbled away from the well, covering her face and trembling, Li Luant hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "What's wrong?" β
"In the well, in the wellβ"
Li Luant stepped forward to take a look, but saw that a human head appeared in the water of the ancient well, and this person's face seemed to have been deliberately scratched by some sharp claws, which was extremely miserable, and he couldn't even see his original appearance, and it seemed that he had been soaking in the well for a while, so his body was a little swollen and his skin was a little white.
No wonder Luan Jingjing was scared like this just now, this scene suddenly made a man retreat when he saw it, not to mention that Luan Jingjing was just a woman who studied books in college all day? Although she is stronger than ordinary women, she has not experienced any winds and waves in the end.
Li Luant helped her up, pointed to the bones of the manatee, and told what he had encountered, and the two immediately prepared to leave here, obviously, the pillar of incense would not be lit by itself, he thought that there was any living creature in this ancient village, but it was just his own immersive feeling, and now it seems that this is not conjecture at all!
I felt the tingling sensation in my back, it was real, in every stockade, in every room, there was a creature who wanted to kill two people!
Luan Jingjing was of course willing to leave the place of right and wrong, and when she was holding her and leaving, Li Luant was stunned and stopped on the threshold.
"What's wrong?"
looked at Luan Jingjing stiffly, "Although the face of that corpse was destroyed by the claws of some creature, but do you look at his bones and figure, does he look like a person?" β
Well?
Although Luan Jingjing was also curious, she really didn't dare to look at it, Li Luant naturally wouldn't be embarrassed, so she had the courage to look at it again: It won't be wrong, although the skin has been destroyed, but this facial bone, this body shape.
It's him?!
Dragging the corpse up from the well, Luan Jingjing also stepped forward to identify it carefully, but still pointed at the corpse with some disbelief, "You said he was Su Jiu?" β
"What do you see me doing? Isn't he the one you brought along? You should know him better than I do. β
Luan Jingjing was also startled when she heard Li Luant say that this person was Su Jiu, but now she looked carefully and found that it was indeed very similar, but she said, "That Su Jiu is nominally my bodyguard, but in fact, it is a special bodyguard invited by my father in the armed police brigade, I haven't been with him for a long time, and he is usually silent, you let me identify it, this-" suddenly thought of something" That's right, he told me, because he was injured in the army's training before, and there are traces of accidental bullet injuries in his ribs, I don't know if there are still so many years after now." β
Li Luant rolled up the corpse's clothes and found that there was indeed a shallow scar near its left rib, and the bullet that would leave this scar was an automatic pistol, which was commonly used in military exercises, and it couldn't be wrong, this person was Su Jiu!
Luan Jingjing suddenly covered her mouth: If this person is Su Jiu, who is the person who has been with her people before? What was his purpose in blending in with the team?
But the strange thing is that if this thing is really done by "those people", it is very strange, why did the corpse be discarded here?
The water in the well looks normal, nothing wrong, originally the group brought not enough water source, seeing that there is well water here and preparing to take a little, now it's okay, the corpse has just been fished up from here, Luan Jingjing said that she would not say anything.
Looking at Su Jiu's corpse, Li Luant looked around, took a section from the veil in front of the ancestral hall, used it to wrap Su Jiu's corpse, lit a candle and began to burn: I already knew just now that there will be those things that like to eat human flesh here, and this Su Jiu's corpse will be disposed of first-
Luan Jingjing fell to the railing and didn't recover from it for a long time, after all, this matter is too unbelievable no matter how you look at it. His own security guard was replaced by a person of unknown origin, and the corpse actually appeared in a well?? This method of abandoning the corpse is inevitably too clumsy.
Now was not the time to say these words, as Su Jiu's body began to burn, there was a sudden unstable atmosphere in the air, as if something was about to start to stir in the dark. Since just now, this kind of uneasiness has appeared, but now it is getting more and more intense, Li Luant only makes judgments on the existence of objective facts, and his intuition is an idealist statement, but now it really appeared, and he hurriedly pulled Luan Jingjing to leave, but the magic sound came from all directions, as if someone had secretly sounded the conch horn, so that Li Luant and Luan Jingjing experienced a hellish torture again.
However, this torture was obviously not as big as the last time, and it seemed that the purpose was not to make them faint, but to summon something, just when the eardrums of the two of them hurt, suddenly on the walls around the ancestral hall, countless black heads covered with fish scales, with a terrifying light in their eyes, stared at the two people in the courtyard in unison.
"Unforgivable, unforgivable, burning meat here, trampling on the food that belongs to us, unforgivable, unforgivable!"
Occupied by these black fish spirits that suddenly appeared in all directions, Li Green Ant, who originally wanted to run towards the gate, was surrounded at once, but when those things were like a magic sound like a tide of shouts, another conch horn sounded, and those things suddenly "Wow" A strange cry, in an amazing bounce way, jumped from all around the wall, and appeared in front of people.
I saw that these creatures were dripping with black mucus all over their bodies, with black fish scales, human heads and fish bodies, walking in the air and sweeping fish tails as if they were swimming in the water.
"What is this?"
Luan Jingjing stepped back in fear, and Li Luant took a deep breath, "Do you remember Nie Fengshui?" If my prediction is correct, as long as Nie Fengshui maintains that form for a long time, he will eventually become like this. In other words, these things are death puppets manipulated by a certain creature at the bottom of the sea.
"Run!"
Li Luan Ant shouted, and pushed Luan Jingjing to the place where the black fish essence was the least, Luan Jingjing held a pistol in her hand, and also wanted to accept Li Luant's kindness to break through and go out to deal with him first, but she didn't expect that those things seemed to be controlled behind someone's back, and they were quickly divided into two camps.
Seeing this scene, Li Luant's gaze, which was originally staring at the black fish essence intently, suddenly shrank, and looked up in all directions: There is something else - there must be something else manipulating these black fish essences around here.
The two conch horns before had their own meanings, and although they didn't hear them now, they must have been running quietly in a way they didn't understand, and if Li Luant didn't hear them, it didn't mean that these black fish spirits couldn't hear them.
"Pongβ"
Li Luant shot the bullets in the magazine, but these things seemed to have a golden bell jar, at most a few fish scales fell, "Wow Wow" shouted a few words, it seemed to be a little painful, but it was still extremely fierce and rushed up.
When they are determined to attack, the fishtail will suddenly flick in the air and push them in front of the enemy, at which point they will stretch out their arms and open the fangs in their mouths, glaring at the enemy viciously, biting all the flesh and blood they can see.
The claws of these things are very long, a bit like the armor of a woman in a court drama, but they are pitch black, and Li Luant suddenly paused: Why did that imposter pretend to be Su Jiu and destroy his body more neatly? But throw the corpse here? Could it be that some unexpected situation was discovered in the course of his murder at that time? I guessed before that he destroyed this person's face to prevent others from recognizing it, but this kind of thing is very dangerous, because if you don't carefully check the birthmarks and scars on the other party's body, no one can guarantee that if someone meets you and write it down, you may expose him afterwards, so in this case, only destroying the other party's face is a very stupid and tendonous behavior.
Aren't those claw marks the impostor's doing, butβ
Li Green Ant is surrounded by more than a dozen black fish essences, these black fish essences have sharp teeth, although Li Green Ants scared some with a pistol, but most of them are not afraid of death, hundreds of black fish essences on the scene, if you don't want to come up with a way, sure-
