Chapter 1211: The Magic Well [3]
The engineer didn't admit himself: "My ancestors were in the business of being an onmyoji, and they left a few ancient book formulas, and I also read them." ”
With an explanation, I nodded and stopped pursuing, and pointed to the yin and yang official robe on my body and said, "This robe can condense yin qi, and you attach it to it." ”
Glancing at the robe, the engineer nodded, turning into a white shadow attached to the robe. Seeing this, I smiled faintly, the official robe was a treasure to restrain the ghosts and ghosts.
A ghost of his has entered the robe, and he is at my kneading presence. I wouldn't mind helping him once if the engineer was telling the truth, and I wouldn't mind disposing of him if it was a lie, and I had a mind in my mind.
With a decision, I took out my phone and turned on the compass function, and chose the right direction to walk back to the city on foot. Because I wasn't sure where I was, I couldn't get a ride.
The map is also not easy to use, so you can only go to a populated place and then make plans.
Boom! Goo!
Suddenly, two strange sounds came from the silent wilderness, somewhat like the sound of boiling water. And this voice also reminded me where the sense of disobedience I felt before came from, which was the chirping of insects.
At night, it was a wilderness full of weeds, how could there be no insect chirping, even if there were a large number of powerful ghosts before. But when I had overtaken the ghost, I crawled out of the well, and the whole wilderness was still silent.
There's only one possibility, and that's that there's something else here that scares the insects. Thinking about it, I held the Falling Moon Sword hard and put on a defensive posture again.
Rushing! The sound of the water coming from behind me, and I turned my head to see that there was nothing. Only the mouth of the well that I had just climbed out was still there, and I wondered to myself, could it be the sound of the well?
Wow! As if in response to my thoughts, there was a sudden sound of a huge amount of water slapping on a hard object from the mouth of the well. This sudden change made me sure that the sound was the source of the wellhead.
Could it be that there is something else at the mouth of this well? If so, why didn't you show up just now? But wait for me to come out before I make a noise and show a change?
After a few turns of thought in my head, I made up my mind and crouched down to pick up a few stones. Throw it in at the wellhead, boom! The sound of several falling water sounds came out clearly.
This time the sound of me dropping the stone was different from the last time, and the sound of landing last time was the sound of landing. Now it's the sound of falling water, and the well is obviously dry, how can there be water!
The test just now led me to conclude that there was water in the dry well, and I needed someone to investigate. It just so happened that I had a ready-made servant at hand.
I patted the place where the engineer was on his robe and said, "Now, I need your help." ”
The engineer's voice in the official robe came out in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"You come out first." I patted my robe again and urged.
"Okay." The engineer answered, and a white shadow floated down from the official robe and turned into an engineer. He was staring a little bit more than he had just stared, which gave me some insight into the power of the robes.
But now was not the time to praise the robes, so I pointed to the well and asked the engineer, "Is there water in the well?" ”
"Nope." The engineer replied in surprise.
I glanced at the engineer and said, "You go over and take a look." ”
"Hmm." The engineer nodded without hesitation, floated to the mouth of the well, and bent down to look. Floating over again, he said with a face full of surprise: "Strange, the well is full of water." ”
"Yes." I nodded and said, "You have been at the bottom of the well for many years, and the bottom of the well has always been dry?" ”
The engineer said with certainty: "Although I have turned into a ghost, I am conscious, and the well is always dry. ”
It's just that, whether there is water in the well or not, it is there now. This aroused my curiosity, and I walked over with the Falling Moon Sword and pulled out my phone to turn on the flashlight.
After all, I don't have the ability to see at night, and I can't see the bottom of a well without the help of a light source. The engineer followed me back to the well, and I stood still about to turn my phone down.
But I suddenly realized that I didn't need to shine the light, because the water at the bottom of the well was clearly reflected by the waning moon in the sky, and it seemed to refract the moonlight. The well is so bright that you can see it even if you don't shine it.
This discovery saved me a lot of trouble, and I put my phone back in. He bent down and looked at the bottom of the well, wanting to see the appearance of the well by the light, after all, it was a dangerous place.
But in the reflection of the well water, I saw a black figure. I looked closely, and the black figure slowly became clear, dressed in a yin and yang official robe, bending over and holding the edge of the well with both hands.
However, the head has two horns, bull's eyes like brass bells, a bull's nose, thick lips, and cow's ears, except for the absence of hair on the head, everything is the same as the head of a bull.
The appearance of the bull's head made me feel hairy, but in order to verify my conjecture. I moved my head, and so did the bull's head, moving exactly the same way and with the same amplitude as I did.
Seeing this, I quickly turned around and took a few steps back, away from the wellhead. The engineer on one side looked at me in fear, his soul fluttering. Suddenly, I stared at him and asked coldly, "What do you see?" ”
The engineer, who was shocked and frightened by my momentum, swallowed and said, "Bull's head." ”
When I got the answer, I felt a sudden rush in my heart, I didn't expect that the legend I heard when I was a child turned out to be true.
I remember when I was a child, my parents and the elders would get together and chat. If it's just the old people, talk about the children and the village, and the young people.
But if there are small children around, horror stories will be told to scare the little ones. That time an old woman told a story that was exactly the same as the one I had encountered.
The story is about a single man in a village who drinks with other bachelors at night. I came home in the middle of the night, vomiting as I walked, passing by an abandoned old-fashioned well in the village.
Then he heard the sound of gurgling water inside, and ran to the mouth of the well to see. Sure enough, there was water in the well, and the moonlight was bright, and the bachelor saw himself in the reflection of the water.
But the head was not his own, it was a horse's head and smiled at him. The frightened drunk of the bachelor woke up most of the time, and ran away, and the next day when he met people, everyone said that everyone didn't believe it, but he still sealed the abandoned well.
It turned out that during the Japanese massacre, the well was full of people, and the original sweet water well was blocked. Later, people came to clean up the corpses and fetch water, and the water was bloody, and the people were so frightened that they abandoned the well.
