Chapter 35: The Liberation Array
The gunshot wound on Li Erzhuang's body simply surprised Qin Ge to the extreme, this is a 10mm large-caliber pistol produced by Smith & Wellson, as a pistol, its caliber is larger than the familiar AK47 submachine gun (AK47 caliber is 7.62 mm), plus the "dummy bullet" with exaggerated lethality, even a rhinoceros was knocked down, but this bullet hit Li Erzhuang's body at close range, and the wound looked like a skin wound, and the bullet did not enter the flesh at all.
After carefully observing Li Erzhuang's injury, Qin Ge left half of the painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs he carried with him to Village Chief Li, and Zhang Guozhong also left the Yunnan Baiyao he carried with him to Village Chief Li.
According to Zhang Guozhong's estimates, the maximum radius of the "Chisel Dragon Array" is no more than 30 miles, with Xizi Village as the base camp, basically the farthest town is enough to play back and forth in three days.
Early in the morning, the three of them ate and drank enough, and went back to the "Star Sucking Platform", and found the equipment that was lost in it two days ago (the three of them were exhausted that day, just in case, they decided to go back to recuperate enough to get it when they came back), and after a day of cultivation, the three of them were ready to set off to another platform "Dingluo Platform".
The people in the village admired these three immortals in the city very much, although Qin Ge repeatedly emphasized that there might be a danger to their lives, but many strong laborers still took the initiative to ask to be guides, Lao Liu Tou looked around, and picked a man named Chen Sanlai, who was the tallest and strongest, and was familiar with the terrain in the mountains, and it was said that he had also practiced martial arts, in order to win the opportunity to be a guide for these three immortals, he also practiced a few times in front of the three of them. If these few hits are also considered martial arts, then the ancient chivalrous duel is no different from the modern hooligan brawl stabbing each other with a watermelon knife.
According to the description on the map, under the leadership of Chen Sanlai, the three of them quickly found the location of the settlement platform on a hill.
The location of the settlement platform is very special, on the cliff, this time the cliff is a real cliff, there is a drop of 50 meters up and down, under the cliff is a river with turbulent water, and this broken platform is built in the middle of the cliff, a particularly small cave, at most enough for one person to drill into, I don't know how the ancients repaired.
After the lesson last time, Qin Ge also paid great attention to the dynamics of the yellow flagpole, but Lao Liu Tou experimented on the top of the cliff, and the yellow flagpole shook twice, and then it didn't move, it seems that this platform is not very powerful.
Chen Sanlai's task is to use hemp rope to lower the three people from the top of the cliff one by one, and there is only one task after that, to chant Buddha for these three.
As soon as he entered, Zhang Guozhong immediately felt a yin wind blowing out of the hole, and when he climbed inside, he found that there was another cave, this hole was huge, about one-third the size of a football field, half artificial and half natural, and the airflow was alive, as if there was somewhere else that could lead to the outside.
This settling platform is not as much fog as the hole in the star sucking platform, a dozen flashlights, the visibility is very good, then Zhang Guozhong noticed the American flashlight brought by Qin Ge, and he didn't know what brand of battery was used, this electricity just couldn't be used up (at that time, China's technology was backward, and it could only produce carbon batteries, that is, it had been used for a long time, the endurance level was poor, and I hadn't heard of nickel batteries), and the brightness was dazzling, if it was cold in the dark, it could really stun people.
When all three of them entered the cave, they began to carpet find the location of the town. It seems that this town platform has not been destroyed, although there are also ancient dead corpses on the ground, but looking at the clothes are all dressed in the Tang Dynasty (the Later Jin Dynasty belongs to the end of the Tang Dynasty, but the clothes generally retain the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty), Qin Ge was also worried at first that someone had taken the lead in the Ming Dynasty, but when he arrived here, a heart was put down, because Zhang Guozhong found the "Zhentai".
"Here!" Zhang Guozhong shouted, Qin Ge and Lao Liu Tou ran quickly to Zhang Guozhong, and looked at the light of the flashlight, a black thing was placed in front of the left.
When they got closer, the three of them took a closer look, and it was a big black strip-shaped stone, as if it had been inserted in the ground, and there was nothing special about it. Qin Ge stretched out his hand to touch, "Don't move!" Old Liu Tou shouted, "You still don't think you've caused enough trouble!" ”
Carefully looked around the stone, there was no inscription and no sticker, "What the hell... Isn't it a town...? Lao Liu Tou said, while taking out the compass, the pointer did not respond, digging under the stone with his hands, and there was no town platform after digging for a long time.
"Not this! Keep looking! Old Liu Tou turned his head and looked elsewhere. But Zhang Guozhong always felt that something was wrong, this cave was empty, only such a stone stood out from the crowd, and the ancients were not so bored that they put rockeries in the town, right? At this time, Qin Ge also left with a flashlight, leaving Zhang Guozhong alone.
"What's that?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't help but touch the stone with his hand, it didn't matter if he touched it, he only heard a loud noise, a bit similar to the sound of the sky breaking, which made Zhang Guozhong's frightened body tremble, and he really wanted to chop off his hand, although he didn't know what was going on, but he knew that he was in trouble when he touched this sound.
Old Liu Tou and Qin Ge also heard this sound, "Damn, what's wrong?" Old Liu scolded and shone his flashlight around, took out the compass, and saw the pointer swaying violently.
"Over!" Lao Liu Tou is also used to it, as the saying goes, if there are more lice, don't bite, Lao Liu Tou simply put the compass back in the bag, pulled out the iron dagger, pasted one of the living charms prepared in advance, and flashlights shone around.
Just when the three of them were worried, Zhang Guozhong suddenly smelled a mushy smell, "Where did the mushy smell come from?" Zhang Guozhong lowered his voice, no one set fire to this barren mountain and wilderness, and the three of them used a flashlight to shine and found that the living talisman on Qin Ge's body was smoking, this is the second time Zhang Guozhong has seen the talisman smoke, the first time is when he first arrived in Li Village, the corpse talisman pasted on Li Daming.
"Not good! Rushed up! Lao Liu Tou had no choice but to bite his tongue again to prevent himself from being touched, the tongue of Lao Liu Tou was almost lost in the past two days, but there was no rut, life is worth more than the tongue...
Zhang Guozhong's reaction was much faster than that of Lao Liu Tou, and the moment he found that the living charm on Qin Ge's body was smoking, he immediately sprayed a mouthful of true yang saliva on it, but it was useless, I saw that this Qin Ge did not react to what the two of them said, and stared straight ahead.
With two snaps, Qin Ge's flashlight and gun fell to the ground, and his two hands began to tremble.
"Guozhong! Fast! Hurry..."As soon as Lao Liu Tou got angry, he shouted quickly, and he didn't say anything.
Zhang Guozhong himself also understood that this seemed to make something rush his body, so he pushed Qin Ge down, raised a foot and stepped on Qin Ge's trembling hand, Lao Liu Tou was also very cooperative, quickly tore Qin Ge's clothes, and directly carved a "five-heart talisman" on the flesh of Qin Ge's back with a dagger. At this time, Qin Ge kept pulling on his back with his other hand, and Lao Liu was also happy, and he stepped on this hand with a kick, which was much more ruthless than Zhang Guozhong's foot, and it could be regarded as a personal vendetta.
The five heart charm is specially used when the person has just been punched by the evil ghost, Maoshan Shu believes that the reason why people will be incoherent after being punched by the evil ghost is that the ghost is rushed to the heart, the ancient people believed that people are thinking with the "heart", so the heart is controlled by the evil ghost, and the natural delirium. However, it takes a certain amount of time for the evil ghost to rush into the heart, and this time is different depending on the person's constitution and the resentment of the evil ghost. The effect of the five-heart talisman is to confuse the evil ghost, so that the evil ghost will perceive that the person has five hearts, so as to delay the time for the ghost to rush and create opportunities for further spells. Originally, Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou had prepared the five-heart talisman in advance, but at this moment, for the sake of safety, it was directly engraved on Qin Ge's body. Because according to Village Chief Li's words, the things on Li Erzhuang's body were so powerful, and it took several hours to attack, and Qin Ge's body was much stronger than Li Erzhuang's, but it was an attack in an instant, obviously the things on Qin Ge's body were more than a little bit more powerful than Li Erzhuang's, so this five-heart talisman must be drawn on the body to be safe. At this moment, Lao Liu Tou secretly rejoiced, fortunately he picked up a killing blade two days ago, otherwise with his old bones, he might not be able to step on whom. In "Maoshan Shuzhi", there are many ways to fix the evil ghosts in place and clean them up, but as mentioned above, many materials are now extinct, so Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu Tou have to adapt measures to local conditions and fix them manually.
After drawing the five-heart talisman, Lao Liu Tou reluctantly let go of Qin Ge's foot, lit three pillars of incense and inserted it on the ground, preparing to "release the Gong array".
"Gen", one of the eight trigrams, represents the mountain, and also means strong or hard. Although the yang in the mountains is much greater than that in the plains, the yin in the mountains is much stronger than in the plains, and there is a large chapter in the Maoshan Shuzhi dedicated to the methods of dealing with the evil ghosts in the mountains, and this "Liberation Array" is one of them.
As the name suggests, the "Liberation Array" is a formation that dilutes the power of the evil ghosts in the mountains, and its principle is a bit of a poison against poison. In the place where evil ghosts haunt in the mountains, are the places where the yin energy gathers, this "Liberation Array" should first use pure yang things to put out a "Yin Pulling Bucket", everyone knows the truth that Yin and Yang attract, and "Pulling Yin Bucket" is to use this principle to suck out the Yin Qi contained in the ground, put the patient on the array, and the underground Yin Qi will gradually gather on the patient's body, even if the things on the body are powerful, the underground Yin Qi has surpassed him, once the underground Yin Qi exceeds the patient's things, That thing will think that there is a bigger peer to occupy this body, and the acquaintance will have to go away.
The three incense sticks were almost burned, and Qin Ge's body didn't tremble, lying on the ground and panting heavily.
"Qin Ye...?" Old Liu Tou looked at Qin Ge, the chopping iron in his hand was already sweating, this is a life-saving guy.
"Ahh
"Quick! Bite your tongue! Old Liu Tou reminded that although Qin Ge didn't know the heart technique of Maoshan Technique, it was also useful to have a little yang blood in his mouth.
"Who stepped on me just now?" Qin Ge slowly got up and tried his best to recall, but his memory was interrupted when he felt that someone had stepped on him, and he just woke up and found himself inexplicably crawling in front of Sanzhu Xiang, his back was full of blood, and his palms were purple, and the pain was unbearable.
"Stepping on you? I'm saving you! "Old Liu Tou is reasonable, Zhang Guozhong also laughed secretly, is there such a way to save people? If Lao Liu Tou used a little more force, he didn't need evil ghosts, and his foot alone would be enough to trample Qin Ge to death.
However, Qin Ge's way also proved the strangeness of this big stone, the three of them didn't say a word, buried a circle of detonators around the stone, and with a loud bang, the black stone was blown to pieces, and the entire cave seemed to be shaken three times, although the three of them covered their ears and opened their mouths, they were still shocked.
Crawling out of the hole and shouting up, Chen Sanlai pulled the three people up one by one.
"I remember!" Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized, "That's not a stone at all!" Halfway through, everyone looked at Zhang Guozhong strangely.
"That's a long beard!"
"Bearded?" Old Liu Tou's eyes widened, "Isn't that something that the Goryeo stick paid tribute to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
As soon as he heard the words Ming Dynasty, Qin Ge almost fainted, it was the Ming Dynasty again, could it be that someone in the Ming Dynasty really took a step ahead of him?
Thinking of this, Qin Ge suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute!" I'm going back! ”
When he said this, Lao Liu was anxious, "Okay, go back, Guozhong and I will go back to the village now to order a coffin for you to make a shroud..."
Qin Ge didn't pay attention to Old Liu Tou's set at all, turned his head and walked back. He himself had no idea how dangerous it had been.
"Mr. Qin!" Zhang Guozhong hurriedly chased after him.
