Chapter Twenty-Three: Zhuge Relic Array?
Underground garage? What could be the problem? This is the reason why Brother Chao suddenly changed the topic just now and stopped talking about my community?
I replied: Don't talk halfway, it will affect my brother's sleep quality. With an emote: a kitchen knife dripping blood.
After a while, Brother Chao replied to the message: It's still a matter of feng shui, and I'll talk about it in detail tomorrow.
Geomancy... Does this thing really think of himself as a god? I replied: Superstition! Then he posted another emoji with a middle finger.
After a while, Brother Chao also replied with two words: ignorance.
I put away my phone and reached out to stop the car and took a taxi home.
The road conditions were not bad at night, and I soon arrived at the gate of my community.
After checking out and getting out of the car, the taxi gradually moved away, and I turned my head to look at the black doorman's booth, and I could still see a humanoid silhouette inside motionless.
I waved at the guard in greeting, though I knew the doorman wasn't uncommon with my politeness.
Walking into the community and looking around, Wufu stood in the middle of the night, also motionless.
Back to the unit building, after entering the elevator, I remembered what Brother Chao had just said, and subconsciously pressed the button on the negative second floor, and there was no response as during the day, I put my finger on the button on the negative floor again, but suddenly hesitated.
Probably Brother Chao's words worked, I suddenly thought to myself, if I press the button on the negative floor, the elevator goes down, and the old man Bai is standing outside the door staring at me with his usual eyes, can I be scared to death?
Or there is a team of greeting relatives, carrying a black sedan chair to enter the elevator, will it directly stuff me into the sedan chair if they see me?
Trembling, I moved my finger over the net and pressed the button on the 13th floor.
As I walked up the elevator, I thought, what is the meaning of the existence of that virtual negative second-floor button? It doesn't work.,I didn't see a passage into the next floor in the underground garage during the day.,Wouldn't it be a decoration?
I was thinking that the elevator had arrived, and the moment the door opened, it scared me.
It's not that I saw anything scary, but I heard a scream.
The sound is not particularly loud, but it is clear.
I stepped out of the elevator and listened carefully, the screaming continued, it was not quite like the scream, and the sound was still a little familiar.
After moving two steps, I suddenly reacted, this is Lao Wang's voice.
"Ahh Yes... Ahh
I understand, this is not a scream, it is Lao Wang's cool...
Is... It's really a treasure knife that is not old and old and should be strong and healthy, listening to this movement, Lao Wang really hasn't touched a woman for a long time, and I don't know if his second daughter-in-law can stand it.
I was curious and listened carefully... Huh? Why is there no woman's voice? Shy? Excuse me?
Forget it, what are you listening to? Go home.
Back to the house across the wall from Lao Wang, after washing, I can still hear the wheezing sound of Lao Wang's hard work in the silence, I can't help but admire, this body is really good.
I turned on my phone and played for a while, but I didn't notice it for a long time, and the old king next door let out a long muffled roar like an old cow was dying, and finally, the whole world was clean.
Sleep, all night without words.
When I woke up the next day, I sent a WeChat message to Brother Chao after I cleaned up: When are you coming to play with me? Will Xiao Xi come with you too?
Brother Chao didn't reply to my message, and it took an hour before he called me directly, and I picked up the phone and said, "Hey? What's your situation? After this, there is a housekeeper's wife, and I am embarrassed to call you directly. ”
Brother Chao said indifferently: "What's so embarrassing about this?" It's not that you don't know Xiaoxi well. I said, "What if you two are learning from Adam and Eve?" Hey, seriously, what did you mean by that last night? I didn't sleep well all night because I thought about it, Xiaoxi, wasn't it? ”
Brother Chao said: "Xiaoxi went to apply for the job, the job introduced by her classmates, I will go to you now, and tell you other things in person." ”
I'm a little strange when I hang up the phone, why is this thing talking mysterious?
In less than an hour, Brother Chao called and said that the unit security door downstairs could not be opened, I pressed the unlock button of the walkie-talkie next to the door of my house, and Brother Chao in the monitoring opened the door and walked into the unit building.
There was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Brother Chao constantly looking around.
I asked, "Hey, what are you looking at?" Brother Chao reflexively said, "What are you doing?" I grabbed his chin and stopped his head from adjusting the angle and said, "Then you are looking at me." ”
Brother Chao clapped my hand down and said, "Your corridor is so clean, it looks like no one lives there." ”
After speaking, Brother Chao walked in by himself, I closed the door and said, "Hey, seriously, what do you mean?" What's wrong with our underground garage? ”
Brother Chao said as he walked to the bedroom, "Why don't you ask Wang Yang what he is doing today?" She hasn't found a new job yet. I said a little impatiently, "Don't change the subject, seriously, what did you mean by what you said yesterday?" ”
Brother Chao leaned on the side of the bed without seeing anything and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." ”
I moved a small bench and sat on the side and looked at him, and Brother Chao continued: "Actually, if I hadn't come to your community at the beginning, I found that there was a bit of a problem with the feng shui pattern of your community, and I wouldn't have thought of this aspect when you said yesterday about your underground garage." ”
I made a gesture to signal him to continue, but Brother Chao didn't sell it, and then said, "I remember that there was a dish called pot wrapped meat yesterday, right?" When I heard you describe the situation in your underground garage, I was reminded of a very old story. ”
Speaking of this, Brother Chao's expression was a little more serious, and I listened quietly to him continue: "Let me tell you the story, the name of the story is... Zhuge Liang Qiaobu Bagua Array almost trapped Lu Xun. ”
…
During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, the three most popular heavenly kings of Shu, all ended very miserably.
As soon as Guan Yu died, Zhang Fei stopped doing it, this product is also interesting, you swore to the second brother and was killed, you don't think about how to avenge the second brother, and torture your subordinates with the law, you have found pleasure, who did your subordinates provoke?
In the end, he was beheaded by his subordinates and sent to the enemy country.
The two godbrothers died at once, and Liu Bei, who was the eldest brother, was also stunned, and he was about to fight Dongwu in a daze with his soldiers.
But the two most powerful generals under your command are gone, and you choose to fight at this time, isn't this looking for abuse? As the saying goes, 'Soochow is not something you want to fight, you can fight if you want to'.
As a result, he did win a few battles at the beginning, but soon he couldn't, and he was beaten by the other party all the way to the White Emperor City.
At that time, the general of Eastern Wu who was responsible for chasing and killing Liu Bei's army was Lu Xun.
This Lu Xun is very powerful, he almost killed Liu Bei on the road, but after all, he is still a little worse, as for what is the difference? That is the legendary Zhuge Liang's gossip array.
This gossip array was set up by Zhuge Liang on the road in advance, and his own people were fine in the past, Lu Xun was stunned as soon as he entered, and he couldn't get around with his soldiers, and he couldn't fight, and finally if it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's father-in-law to help, Lu Xun would have died in the gossip array.
Zhuge Liang's father-in-law has the ability to help Lu Xun because the old man has seen the formation diagram of the Bagua Array before, and after Lu Xun got out of trouble, he stood outside the formation and looked at the Bagua Array, which was not the same feeling at all as when he was trapped in the array.
"It's just a pile of rocks."
This is Lu Xun's impression of the Bagua Array that he later mentioned to others, and his original intention was to tell others that the Bagua Array was not terrible.
Zhuge Liang also used a similar description to describe the gossip array, but he was trying to ridicule Lu Xun: This can almost trap you to death, are you embarrassed to say it everywhere? Phew, stinky and shameless.
"So, when you told me about the appearance of your underground garage, combined with the already strange feng shui pattern on the ground of your community, I immediately thought of this legendary 'array'."
Brother Chao's story has been told and summarized, but it is in the clouds for me to hear.
I thought for a while and asked, "Two questions, Brother Chao, first, what does this have to do with the pot meat you just mentioned?" Second, why did Zhuge Liang and his father-in-law help outsiders deal with his son-in-law? ”
Brother Chao sat up straight, lit a cigarette and said, "It has nothing to do with pot meat, I just thought of it, as for why his father-in-law helps outsiders, then you have to ask his daughter-in-law." ”
I clapped my hands and suddenly realized: "Oh, you mean that Zhuge Liang's daughter-in-law has something to do with Lu Xun..." Brother Chao interrupted me.
I shrugged my shoulders and said, "You're thinking too much, aren't you?" This was all tens of thousands of years ago, and nine times out of ten it was made up by later generations, what's wrong? Do you think there's a gossip array hidden under my community? What's the picture? Sleepy you? ”
Brother Chao took a disposable paper cup and knocked down the ashes and said, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, it is true that some people say that the Bagua Array is made up, but there is a place in Sichuan where there are ruins of the Bagua Array." And Zhuge Liang is not the only one who has placed a gossip array in history, as for the matter of your underground garage here, didn't I say it, mainly because there is a problem with the above-ground building pattern of your community, so I will have this association. ”
I asked, "How did you come up with that?" Brother Chao said, "Didn't you say that you almost got lost underground?" And isn't there some weird wall in your underground garage? Isn't that very consistent with the description of the Bagua Array? ”
I still shook my head very skeptically, this is too sci-fi.
Brother Chao stood up directly and said, "It's useless to say anything else, go, take my brother to your underground garage for a visit." ”
I also stood up and pressed Brother Chao back to the bed and said, "Let me ask you again, why are you so concerned about these things?" What the hell is going on with you? Brother Chao took my hand and said affectionately: "Because you live here, what I really care about is you." ”
I shook off his hand and scolded with a smile: "Don't stink." ”
Brother Chao stood up again and said: "I'm just curious, I usually read books and talk about these mysterious things, I always think that many things must exist in the real world, just have such an opportunity, just go down and take a look." ”
I said disdainfully: "You, you just read too many idle books, so you think about it all day long." Brother Chao said: "You, you just read too few books, so you don't understand anything all day, hurry up, lead the way, by the way, is there monitoring below?" ”
That's a problem, I didn't pay attention to it last time. I thought for a moment and said, "No... Didn't you? It seems that there is surveillance at the main entrance of this community, haven't you seen it? There are no cameras in the elevators. ”
Brother Chao said, "That's great, hurry up." ”
Under the repeated urging of Brother Chao, I had to take him to enter the elevator again and go straight to the negative floor.
The elevator slowly stopped when it came down to the fifth floor, and as the elevator door opened, I saw the somewhat eccentric couple again, and before I could say hello, Brother Chao blurted out first: "Hey, are you holding a polar bear?" ”
