Chapter 173: Light Smoke
Seeing this, Naoji Ando nodded immediately, confirming that this place was indeed the place where Kamo Hoken had taken her down earlier.
Seeing Ando nodding his head, Zhou Daoran immediately threw the rune paper into the air, and his fingers flew a few points faster on the surface of the rotating compass, and he saw that the rotating compass circled around the buoy and quickly rotated.
When only one-third of the rune paper was burned, the rotation of the roulette wheel gradually stopped, and I saw that the pointer in the middle pointed firmly to the position behind Zhou Daoran.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoran couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself that behind him, except for the formation that had just passed through, there was nothing, could it be ......
A bad thought immediately emerged from Zhou Daoran's heart, just when the rune paper burned out and the paper ashes scattered, in the dark corridor, Zhou Daoran suddenly sighed.
Although Naoji Ando and Zhou Daoran have known each other for a short time, even if he hurt Zhou Daoran like that that night, he has never heard him lament, so why did he lament again and again tonight?
Naoji Ando then asked, "Daoran, what's wrong, what's annoying you again?" ”
"I've found the remnant of a man." Zhou Daoran replied in a heavy tone.
Hearing this, Naoji Ando was a little puzzled, "Since you have found one, you should be happy, why are you still sighing?" ”
"I found it, but that remnant soul is the eye of the needle of the magic circle we just passed." Zhou Daoran said.
"This ......" Naoji Ando was silent for a moment.
Because she didn't know how to answer Zhou Daoran, she thought that he had found the remnant soul, but it turned out to be empty joy.
After all, it was the Dongying people who refined the remnant soul into the magic circle, and she was also a Dongying person, so she didn't dare to talk too much for fear of upsetting Zhou Daoran.
However, Zhou Daoran didn't lose his temper, but was silent for a while, and the sound of clattering and turning gears came from Ando's ears again.
When the sound stopped, a piece of paper suddenly ignited a glimmer of light, and Zhou Daoran then stared at the pointer on the wheel again.
This time, he didn't point to the magic circle behind Zhou Daoran, but pointed straight to the deepest part of the pitch-black corridor.
Subsequently, Zhou Daoran provoked several times in succession, and when he saw that the direction of the pointer had not changed, he felt a little at ease.
Dragged the compass with one hand, and pulled Naoji Ando's wrist with the other, and slowly walked forward.
And this time, Zhou Daoran didn't dare to make any more loud noises, because Naoji Ando didn't know if there was an onmyoji in the underground secret room.
So he didn't dare to try, was there anyone down here, so he had to take Naoji Ando and tiptoe towards the depths.
Along the way, Zhou Daoran took a few steps and lit a rune paper, and after a few steps, he lit a rune paper.
The reason why he did this was that Zhou Daoran was afraid that he would walk through the room and miss the room where the remnant soul was sealed.
It's a pity that Zhou Daoran took Naoji Ando to several rooms one after another, and the compass did not deviate in the slightest, still pointing to the depths of the corridor.
Seeing that the pointer had not changed, Zhou Daoran prepared to walk directly inside.
It was Ando Naoji who grabbed Zhou Daoran and told Zhou Daoran that he had never been to the depths, he didn't know what was in it, and he was worried about what danger would be inside.
Hearing this, Zhou Daoran discussed with Naoji Ando, asking Naoji Ando to hide here, and when he came back, he would go deeper by himself.
For Zhou Daoran's request, Naoji Ando naturally couldn't agree, and he had to act with Zhou Daoran alive or dead.
Zhou Daoran really couldn't resist Ando Naoji, and in desperation, he had to agree to Ando Naoji's request to accompany him, but Zhou Daoran told Ando Naoji in advance that if there was any emergency in the process of moving forward, he must absolutely obey Zhou Daoran's arrangement.
Hearing this, Naoji Ando did not refute, and said that Zhou Daoran's conditions should be met, as for whether Naoji Ando listened or not, he would have to say something else.
In this regard, Zhou Daoran also glanced at Naoji Ando with suspicion, but due to the urgency of time, Zhou Daoran did not pursue this issue too much.
Instead, with a wave of his hand, he hurriedly slapped Naoji Ando on both shoulders and on the top of his head, rekindling the three fires on her body, and for a while, Naoji Ando suddenly felt a warm current flowing through his body, and his feet on the ground were more steady.
Then, Zhou Daoran didn't say much, and directly pulled Naoji Ando and walked into the depths.
Because Zhou Daoran was worried that there would be unknown dangers ahead, before he left, he deliberately lit a rune paper and threw it behind him, only to see that this rune paper only burned half the size, so he immediately buckled it to the ground and stopped burning.
Next, Zhou Daoran took this appearance and lit several runes one after another to illuminate the surroundings, but the rune paper was no longer caught in his hand, or thrown into the air, waiting for it to be completely burned.
Instead, as in the previous action, the rune paper was directly pressed to the ground, and when it burned to half the size, the rune paper just reached the ground and stopped burning.
And Zhou Daoran fiddling is still very particular, not throwing rune paper straight ahead, but sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and then to the middle, as if he is setting up some kind of formation.
The underground secret room was obviously larger than the hospital upstairs, and the two of them had been walking for a long time, but they had not yet reached the end, and at this moment, Zhou Daoran suddenly found that there was a faint light on both sides of the road ahead.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoran couldn't help but step up, and at the same time turned around and signaled to Naoji Ando, asking her to be careful to keep quiet, but the movement of the talisman in his hand did not stop.
It wasn't until Zhou Daoran took Ando Naoji to the light source that he realized that the dim light in the corridor turned out to be from the candles hanging on both sides of the wall.
And this candle is obviously different from the candles we see on weekdays, because the candles we see on weekdays do not have any strange fragrance and no smoke and dust in addition to lighting.
However, in the candle in front of Zhou Daoran, in addition to the slightest fragrance coming from the wax body, there were also bursts of light smoke burning from the wick.
And the closer Zhou Daoran and the two are to the candle, the bigger the light smoke burns.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Daoran suddenly felt uneasy, and then the whole person took a few steps back, and at the same time stretched out an arm to protect Naoji Ando, signaling him not to step forward at will.
Zhou Daoran just stopped within the range of the last rune paper he threw out, and the light smoke in front of him also happened to stop, and the distance outside the rune paper was difficult to advance anymore because of the rune paper around them.
The light smoke had to spread in all directions, surrounding Zhou Daoran and Naoji Ando.
Seeing this, Zhou Daoran's eyes couldn't help but froze, staring at the green smoke in front of him, which was only a palm away, and shouted, "He Fang is presumptuous, and he hasn't appeared quickly!" ”
