Chapter 441: Twenty-Four Mountains

We circled the town and finally stopped near the Black Water Canal.

Along the way, it seems that there is a lot of gain, but it seems that there is no harvest at all, and even if so many corpses are found, they cannot tell us what the token hidden in the town is, and where it is.

I really have the feeling that a blind cat walks at night, and I can't tell what to do next, so I can only hope that I can walk two more steps and run into a dead mouse.

At this time, I heard Lu Shengcai muttering on the side: "I always feel that someone seems to be arranging a formation, every small building that is not lit up, the position can be fitted with the gossip hexagram, the strangest thing is that this town looks square at first glance, but after walking so many times, I feel more and more that it seems to be a circle." ”

I have also thought about what Lu Shengcai said.

The eight unlit buildings are exactly on the eight hexagram positions of the eight trigrams, and this town does seem to be round, especially the roads located at the edge of the city, which look straight, but you will find that if you want to go straight on those roads, you must constantly adjust the direction on the way forward, go all the way, and quickly walk yourself not in a straight line, but an arc.

If you judge according to the magic system that I am familiar with, the hexagram position hides the corpse and is set as the life and death array, but the problem is that I can't be sure that the number of spells used by the person who arranges the corpse comes from the system we are familiar with.

From the departure of the ship to the entry of the water curtain, along the way, I exchanged spells with the old wolf and Lilith, and I heard Lilith say that in the spell system that she is best at, there are also many witchcraft that rely on the arrangement of magic weapons in a specific direction to perform, and the domestic layout is generally oriented to the hexagram, and they are oriented by the compass.

The compass they use is generally divided into two kinds, one is called the big eight needles, the other is called the small eight needles, the so-called big eight needles, that is, there are eight large scale needles on the compass, which point to the southeast, northwest, and four positive positions respectively, as well as the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest four deviations, these eight directions, just correspond to the hexagram position of the gossip.

Lilith said that their compass orientation was actually derived from the Bagua orientation, after all, the earliest eight-way compass was originally transmitted from ancient China.

As for the small eight-needle compass, in fact, it is to subdivide the original eight directions into sixteen directions, just like we subdivide the eight-way compass into twenty-four mountain positions, in the final analysis, it is still based on the hexagram.

If the hexagram array is unique to our industry, it is relatively easy to make a judgment, but the problem is that this kind of array is common in many spell systems, and under such conditions, it is difficult for you to judge what the person who sets up the array wants to do.

Because you don't know if this thing is in the same spell system as you.

I listened to Lu Shengcai's words, and all I thought about in my head, knowing that he was complaining that we had been in town for a long time, but we didn't get anything, and subconsciously rolled up my sleeves to look at the time.

When I saw the watch on his wrist, my heart trembled.

Why is there no female corpse in that building to the southeast?

If I'm not mistaken, the screams erupted in the town around nine o'clock in the morning.

Before, I also thought that these two things were unrelated, until I saw Lu Shengcai's watch, and linked this watch with the twenty-four mountains.

With the timing of the twenty-four mountains, noon is due south, Zhengzi is due north, noon is twelve o'clock at noon, Zhengzi is twelve o'clock in the morning, and Zhengxun, it corresponds to the southeast, Zhengxun, is nine o'clock in the morning!

Since generally speaking, we divide the day into twelve hours, and after the hour is the time of the sun, and only when the time is timed by the twenty-four mountain positions, there will be a Xun time between the time of the hour and the time of the sun, so I have not connected the time when the scream appeared to the time when there was no female corpse in the southeast position.

When I think about it at this time, I feel more and more that the two are closely connected.

I deduce that no matter what kind of formation the other party wants to arrange, for the entire formation, the formation in the southeast direction must have a very special significance.

Thinking of this, I immediately spread my steps and ran towards the southeast corner of the town.

I acted suddenly, and the others didn't know why, Lu Shengcai also called me and asked me where I was going, I was in a hurry and ignored him.

It wasn't until I ran nearly fifty meters alone that they rushed after me.

I didn't want to talk nonsense along the way, I just hurried away, for fear of delaying even a minute and a second.

I'm worried that the so-called token may be hidden in that house, and since I can detect the particularity of that small building, it is very likely that She Jinrong, who is from the same magic system as me, may also be aware of it.

He must not be allowed to get a head start!

To be honest, I'm really a little annoyed at the moment, the last time I searched in that small building, I just wanted to make sure there was no body on the top floor, and I didn't do a detailed search of this building, even if Yunshang told me that there was no corpse in this building, I didn't take it seriously.

I'm definitely not normal lately, my brain and reaction are several beats slower than before, and many things that used to be easy to figure out are now taking a lot of effort to sort out a little bit of a clue.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Is it really just too tired?

When I came to the front of the small building, I deliberately snatched the flashlight in Lu Shengcai's hand and shot a few lights around the door of the building.

After entering the door, I asked everyone to separate and conduct a carpet search of the building, and the floor and walls were not spared, maybe there were hidden compartments in some areas.

Everyone was a little puzzled by my decision, but they didn't say anything, just went about their jobs.

I took Yunshang up to the top floor, intending to start from this floor first.

Every small building that is not lit has a similar room layout, and even the things in each room are similar, and the room on the top floor has only a bed and a wardrobe, and nothing else.

I suspect that if there were tokens hidden in this building, they would have hidden them in a very hidden place, and when they entered the house, they rushed to the bed, leaned over and swept the light under the bed.

The bottom of the bed was empty, and the place illuminated by the light spots was only dust.

"Uncle Junior!"

At this moment, I heard Yunshang scream in surprise, and quickly stood up and looked at her.

At first, Yunshang stood in front of the closet, with her back to me, and I stared at her for a few moments before she slowly moved away so that I could see directly inside the closet.

I saw a girl in a white dress sitting in the empty closet, she seemed to be frozen, her body was motionless, but her eyes kept wandering between me and Yunsheng.

It's a living person!
