460: Omnidirectional compass
Zhuo Xuelan looked at the lonely building, there were at least seventy households, and she asked nervously: "Mr. Yuwen, do you know which room the murderer lives in?" ”
Yuwen Wuxing said: "I didn't follow him upstairs. ”
Zhuo Xuelan frowned and asked, "Then how do we look for him?" Is it checked by one household? Yuwen Wuxing took out a small compass from his leather bag and said, "I can find it with it." "The compass of Yuwen Five Elements is simple in shape, old, weathered for a long time, the outer ring is gold edge, and the compass is also inlaid with gold characters, flashing golden light. Yuwen Wuxing silently recited the incantation in his mouth, the compass pointer suddenly seemed to sense a command, and turned around flexibly, Huangfu Lang and Zhuo Xuelan felt quite novel, although Fang Ji was incompatible with Yuwen Wuxing, and hated each other very much, but he was very fond of the Jinkui compass, and said: "It's a waste of time for the baby to be in your hands, will you use it." ”
Yuwen Wuxing snorted and said, "What are you arguing about?!" Fang Ji had no choice but to shut up.
Yuwen Wuxing held the compass in his hand, chanted a mantra in his mouth, the pointer of the compass stopped in the direction of the lonely building, the pointer swung slightly, and the direction was determined, as if it was a sophisticated energy detector, and there was a force in the building that attracted it. Fang Ji exclaimed and said, "Stupid pig, your treasure is really effective, and it can also find the faint yin qi that I can't detect." ”
Yuwen Wuxing glared at Fang Ji and scolded, "You stupid person is a hammer!" Can you, little woodcutter, compare to my family's ancestral treasure? Do you know which god used this treasure? ”
Everyone looked at the compass, the closer they got to the lonely building, the more stable the direction of the compass pointer became, and the pointer always pointed to the position of a lonely building, just like a compass, no matter how Yuwen Wuxing and others walked, the compass did not change direction. The night wind gusted, blowing the woods swaying, rustling, the atmosphere was tense, everyone looked at the lonely building in the direction of the pointer, and the man in black seemed to live in the middle of the lonely building. Huang Fu Lang nervously followed behind Yuwen Wuxing, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, although he couldn't feel the "Yin Qi", but he felt that the surrounding environment became more and more cold and biting, and the temperature was several degrees lower than just now.
Everyone quietly touched the foot of the lonely building, the surroundings were pitch black, very gloomy, they walked to the door in the middle of the building, Huang Fulang said: "The compass can show the location of the murderer, how can it show the murderer on what floor?" Yuwen Wuxing said: "Simple." He put the compass upright, and the pointer immediately jumped upward, pointing upward, and Yuwen Wuxing said, "All-round Oh!" ”
Yuwen Wuxing led everyone into the door of the building, and suddenly there was a rattling sound in the darkness, the sound was strange, and a miserable white face appeared in front of everyone, an old woman with deep eye sockets, wrinkled face, wearing ragged clothes, leaning over her body, dragging a broken bag, standing in front of the steps. Yuwen Wuxing was startled by the old woman,
almost threw the compass away, Huang Fulang and Zhuo Xuelan were also frightened, and hurriedly subconsciously pulled out their guns. Fang Ji said: "Old woman, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?!" ”
Everyone looked at the old woman again, the old woman was very old, about eighty years old, dressed in tatters as if she was picking up rags, she leaned over, picked up some things and went home, but she had no strength to carry upstairs, the old woman's thin and helpless figure looked very pitiful. Fang Ji saw Yuwen Wuxing's frightened face, stretched out his long tongue, Fang Ji glared and said, "You coward, useless thing, stupid, you stupid pig, look at what scares you!" Are you still afraid of ghosts? ”
Yuwen Wuxing patted his chest and said, "Lao Tzu is not afraid of ghosts!" People are scary, scared to death! Huang Tian had already walked over to help the old woman carry the bag, and he said, "Old woman, I'll help you carry it, how many floors do you live on?" Huang Tian picked up the bag and said, "You are so old, you have to work so hard so late, you have to rest more." ”
The old woman was exhausted, she looked at Huang Tian with dull eyes, and said, "...... Thank...... Thank you...... You ......," she asked, "kind lad...... You...... What are you doing here......"
Huang Tian said: "We came to find a young man, who is the same age as us, and we have something to look for him, but we don't know what floor he lives on. Old woman, do you know? ”
The old woman said, "You mean the young man on the fifth floor, he has only lived in it for more than a month, and there are not many families in this building, and he is a young man who lives on it." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, and Huang Fulang asked, "Old woman, what do you think of this person?" Isn't he scary? ”
The old woman looked at Huang Fu Lang with cloudy eyes, and said, "This young man is very lonely, he doesn't like to talk, but he has a good heart, and he has helped me carry things several times at night, and I think he is a good baby." ”
Huang Tian helped the old woman move the bag to the old woman's house on the second floor, Huang Tian saw that the hut was destitute, there were some picked up garbage on the ground, and the food on the plates on the broken table had also tasted, and the old woman was still reluctant to throw it away. The room was damp and cold, Huang Tian's eyes were solemn, and he said, "Old woman, you can rest well at home." Huang Tian took out a bead and a small medicine bottle from his bosom and said, "Old woman, this bead can still be sold for some money, you can stay." This bottle of medicine can relieve pain and wind, and can cure your rheumatism. ”
The old woman looked at Huang Tian blankly, she shed tears, nodded and said, "Thank you, young man, you are really a kind person." Fang Ji also wanted to take the money, but he didn't have any money with him, he rummaged through the pockets of his body, scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry. Yuwen Wuxing took out some money from his leather bag and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Old woman, don't run out at night to be scared, at home."
Liduo enjoys good fortune and enjoys his old age in peace. You buy some delicious food first, this money is small, I honor you. Yuwen Wuxing said while the other party squeezed his eyebrows, as if he was angry that he had no money.
Huang Fulang touched his pocket and found a few banknotes, Zhuo Xuelan was silent, the scene in front of her made her feel that the cold room became warm, she had red eyes, silently took out all the money from the wallet and put it on the table. The old woman was very grateful, and kept thanking, but she refused and said, "I'm old, I won't live for a few days, and I won't need so much money, so you better take it back!" ”
Huang Fulang advised: "Old woman, you accept all the money." Whatever you hear for a while, don't come out! Just stay in the house! ”
Huang Fu Lang and the others closed the door and walked up cautiously, the corridor was low and narrow, pitch black, Huang Fu Lang and Zhuo Xuelan followed behind with one shallow foot, preventing kowtowing and bumping their heads. The building was very quiet, lifeless, there were almost no residents, the atmosphere around was getting more and more tense, and the air seemed to freeze. Huang Fulang felt that the air was cold, and his body was numb. Everyone held their breath and walked to the fifth floor, Yuwen Wuxing fiddled with the compass, and the pointer pointed to the room on the right. Yuwen Wuxing pointed to the rusty iron door with his finger, indicating that the other party was in the house.
Huang Fu Lang and Zhuo Xuelan's hearts beat violently, Huang Fu Lang looked at Zhuo Xuelan, they were both very nervous, as police officers, if it was to arrest criminals, they had many plans, and they were familiar with it, but if they wanted to break into the door and arrest non-human and non-strange things, they had no bottom in their hearts. Fang Ji's fist clenched, and he was about to kick open the door and fight in. Huang Tian walked to the door and knocked lightly on the door.
There was no reaction in the house, like an empty room uninhabited, and everyone was waiting for a reaction. Huang Fu Lang and Zhuo Xuelan stared at the iron gate, and when they thought of the terrifying power of the man in black, who could scare people to death, they felt more and more nervous in their hearts.
Huang Tian knocked on the door again, there was still no sound in the house, the surroundings were quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly, the more Huang Fulang and the others waited, the more nervous they felt, Fang Ji said angrily: "Is there no one?" Did we get it wrong? He shouted at the door, "Hey! Is there anyone? ”
The iron door opened suddenly, banged on the wall, the room was dark, a gust of yin wind blew out of the house, the yin air was steaming, Huang Fulang and Zhuo Xuelan felt that the yin wind was like a knife cutting their faces, blowing they couldn't open their eyes, they felt cold, like entering an ice cellar, their souls were about to fly away, a huge pressure like Mount Tai pressed the top, suffocating them. Huang Fu Lang and Zhuo Xuelan shook their bodies and almost fell, but they saw that the yin qi disappeared, and Huang Tian stood in front of them, and there was a warm current enveloping them.
