Chapter 227: In the Dead Place (Second Watch)
When I saw each other, I immediately wanted to rush out of the car, board the car on the other side, grab the other party, and snatch back my mother's ashes, but as soon as I got up, I saw that the car on the other side began to move, and our car had already started.
The corpse demon on the other side also smiled smugly at me, waved goodbye to me, and made a lip gesture at me: Goodbye!
it! I just felt my blood surge, and I couldn't help but hit the carriage in a circle, knocking my hand into blood, and startling several other people in the carriage.
Yuan Ling hurriedly came over and helped me hold down the wound on my hand with a tissue: "What are you doing?" Why so careless? ”
After venting my anger, I finally calmed down, looked at the train in the distance, and began to think in my heart: where did the other party come from, and where did he go with the ashes?
That direction is going to the Central Plains, could he be trying to pretend to be me and go to Huangjialing? But isn't he a corpse demon? Although Huangjialing suffered heavy casualties, he was forced to close the town. But corpse demons aren't that easy to sneak into, are they?
If it wasn't pretending to be me, it might be that he was trying to make a fuss about his mother's ashes, and the other party wouldn't have come up with any evil methods, right?
Moreover, whether the other party is a corpse demon or not, I am not sure now, I just know that the corpse demon can change form at will, and because of the evil ritual of exchanging bodies with him in the cave. Only then did he conclude that he was a corpse demon, and if he was not a corpse demon, but another help from the high priest's side, what would he do?
As soon as I told Yuan Ling about the situation, she also frowned: "Why don't we get off at the station in front of us and go back to chase him." ”
"No, you can't chase it. This is probably a trap he set to deliberately disrupt our plans, after all, it is useless for him to demonstrate against me across the train. ”
The most serious problem I am facing now is that my soul has absorbed a lot of evil qi, and the power of the corpse demon and demon god in the depths of my soul can control me almost at any time, I must rush to the Feng family for help as soon as possible, and everything else is secondary.
In the following journey, there was no extraneous incident, what happened, Yuan Ling and I got off the train, changed cars, and finally came to the destination of our trip: Bagua City.
The Feng family is in the remote north of Bagua City, and when I first heard the news from the Zhao brothers, I thought they were joking, after all, this place is too remote.
However, the brothers of the Zhao family told me seriously that Kunlun is the ancestor of all mountains, and the first human beings all came out of Kunlun, and the seven major families also came out of Kunlun at the earliest.
As for the remoteness of the people now, it is because the climate has changed a lot, and the vicissitudes of the sea are not for fun, you know, a large number of rammed earth layers woven by reeds and aquatic plants have been found under the Great Wall of Qin, indicating that at that time, the rain in the north was very sufficient.
According to the records of the seven families, the climate in Kunlun was not as warm and humid as it is now, and there were many human beings living there, but later the climate changed drastically, and gradually became a poor and barren land.
What's more, the body of the demon god was divided into seven parts, which were suppressed and buried separately, and the distance could not be too close, too close would make the seal loosen prematurely, so the seven families at that time were at least thousands of miles apart, and the suppression of the Feng family was chosen to be near Kunlun.
The Zhao brothers also told me that in the past, the seven major families intermarried, and every time they got married, they had to travel for at least several months to send the bride to their in-laws' house.
All this sounds too fantastical, so far away, and intermarriage, from the moment you are sure to marry, then at least not a year? Wouldn't it be even more fun to go to relatives to meet or something?
I asked the Zhao brothers about this, and the answers they gave me startled me. It turned out that the seven major families did not communicate with each other before, but by the way of falling asleep, and as long as there was a need, several elders could even get together for a meeting.
Isn't this a fantasy version of a teleconference call? This was my first reaction when I heard it, but soon there was another question: since there can be such a magical way of communication between the seven major families, how did Liu Li's family be wiped out?
Why didn't they ask the other families for help? Before the event. Didn't you find any clues? Or is the enemy's strength too strong and the attack too sudden for them to be able to resist even the basics?
That's not right, Liu Li's spell in my dream looks so powerful, there is no reason for her clan to be weak chickens, why would she be exterminated? Is there something wrong with this?
I asked Zhao Zheng and Zhao He's brothers, but they shook their heads and said they didn't know what had happened at all. They said that this kind of major event was usually known only to the elders of the clan, and they were too young more than ten years ago, so how could they be qualified to know these secrets.
And when they grow up, these contents are taboo in the clan, no one mentions them at all, and they can't ask about it.
It seems that what happened to the Liu Li family back then was not as simple as I imagined, and there is probably something else hidden in it.
Zhao Zheng and Zhao He also told me that the lives of the seven families are very hidden, and they look no different from ordinary people, except that they rarely go out to work, just like ordinary village residents.
The Feng family inherits the sealing technique, they do a better job of secrecy than the Zhan family, it is said that outside their settlement, there is a Nine Palace Bagua Array, not the Feng family, they can't go in at all, a bit like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang laid out the same as the gossip array.
This makes me curious about the Feng family, but also a little worried, what if I go to Bagua City and can't find the Feng family?
But when I think that I now have a corpse demon living in my soul, I have the left hand of the demon god in my body, and I am also full of evil energy, I believe that in the eyes of people with magic. It's just a bright light - the kind that glows black, even if I can't find the other party, the Feng family will come to me.
So, after coming to Bagua City, Yuan Ling and I found a hotel to stay, and after a short rest, we hired a car. Started wandering around the city.
It's a tourist city, and there are a lot of people who come here to visit, but we are at the end of the tourist season, where the winter is too cold, and the summer is the peak tourist season.
Now that it's late autumn, a cooling has made the temperature here directly below zero, and you need to wear a down jacket. Let me deeply understand the ancient poem: Hu Tian is snowing in August.
Yuan Ling and I arrived here at noon, walked around the city for an afternoon, didn't see any scenery, just took care of the hurry, and the taxi driver who was our tour guide was a little puzzled: "Are you two here to travel, or are you here to be in a hurry?" You won't see anything interesting about it. ”
"It's okay, just go around."
The driver just kindly reminded him. The words were a bit straightforward, and we didn't give him less fares, and after he reminded us, seeing that we didn't appreciate it, he stopped talking and continued to take us around.
We walked around until dark, and we still didn't find anything. In desperation, we had to ask the driver to send us back to the vicinity of the hotel, and after dinner at a nearby restaurant, we returned to the hotel early.
"It's not a way to go around like this, I'm still dizzy after a day of driving." Yuan Ling came out of the shower and lay on the bed. Said in a slightly complaining tone.
"Then what's the solution, Zhao Zheng and they don't know the specific location of the Feng family, they only know that in this gossip city, in addition to turning around, what else can we do?"
"Why did you forget Liao Qingjiang's divination? Why don't we ask Liao Qingjiang to help us divinate the specific location of the Feng family. Yuan Ling proposed.
I slapped my forehead: I was so stupid that I would forget Liao Qingjiang, a human flesh search engine.
Liao Qingjiang's three copper coins have been packed in a small cloth bag, and I have put them in my personal pocket. Now it just comes in handy, I just need to throw the copper coin after contemplating, and let Liao Qingjiang come to solve the hexagram.
But when I took out the little cloth bag from my pocket and poured out the copper coins, the three copper coins immediately began to oxidize and turn black as soon as they landed on the table. Soon it went from a shiny brassy color to a rusty and patina.
I was so shocked that I quickly reached out to take the copper coin, but when my hand touched it, it was like touching weathered sand, and the copper coin was directly shattered into powder and scattered on the table.
This...... What's going on?
I suddenly felt at a loss, this is Liao Qingjiang's treasure, the sharp weapon he used for divination has come to naught in my hands, how should I explain to Liao Qingjiang?
However, I quickly reacted that Liao Qingjiang's copper coin was a magic weapon used for divination, and such a change suddenly happened. It is likely that there is something unusual around me, and maybe it is the copper coin that warns me that I must contact Liao Qingjiang as soon as possible.
I quickly took out my mobile phone and called Liao Qingjiang, the phone was connected, and Liao Qingjiang's somewhat anxious voice came from the microphone: "Ji Zang, why can't you get in touch for so long." I can't get through to your phone every day, and the hexagram I give you for divination shows that your life is now like a candle in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time, what happened? ”
I sighed and told Liao Qingjiang what I encountered in the film and television base, and he heard that I was in the evil space. The body absorbed a lot of evil qi, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder your life has changed so seriously, originally I thought that the Zhao family brothers were your nobles, why is the situation getting more and more serious?" ”
"Who knows, maybe I'm not good enough." I paused, said again about the copper coin turning into powder, and said with some shame: "Lao Liao." I'm really sorry, I don't know how copper coins came to be like this. ”
"You're saying that when the copper coin was taken out of the bag, it was originally fine, but when it landed on the table, it immediately rotted?" Liao Qingjiang asked.
"Yes, when I touch my hand, it turns into powder."
"Not good!" Liao Qingjiang shouted: "Ji Zang, you leave there with Yuan Ling immediately, the sooner the better." ”
"Dangerous?!" The phone was originally in hands-free mode, so I put it on the bed and began to get dressed while continuing to talk to Liao Qingjiang. Yuan Ling also got up and began to get dressed quickly.
"Let's go! It's dangerous! Copper coins are used for divination, and they have been nurtured by me for a long time, and they have spirituality in themselves, and they will suddenly be corroded into powder, indicating that you are either in a dead place, or you are locked by a powerful existence, and the copper coins are warning you. ”
Deathtrap? When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder. I heard my uncle say that feng shui is divided into yin and yang houses, but whether it is a yin house or a yang house, it cannot be on the dead ground, because once you are in a dead place, no matter whether you are alive or dead, there will be no good end.
Just as I was about to pick up my down jacket. Suddenly, I felt a strong killing intent behind me.
