Chapter Twenty-Nine: Repeating the Old Trick
The old man's fingers did not stop, he caused the water spirit to turn, and raised his fingers again to draw a miniature version of his forehead with the exact same pattern as on his back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Only then did I remember that this rune was the pattern on the head of the water ghost lying in the pit that I had seen when I entered the village before.
It seems that the thing on the forehead of the water ghost was made by the old man, but I don't know what the purpose of this hook is.
In my guess, it can be used to control the actions of water ghosts.
But there are no absolutes, and if you speculate wildly and lead to other endings, then it must be unexpected.
"Ah Wei, I'm going to go in and ask clearly" The bandit suddenly said this, his eyes flashed, but he was extremely calm and spoke his thoughts.
"Wait ...... slow" Ah Gong still wanted to interrupt him, but was interrupted by the determined eyes of the bandits.
He thought for a moment and said, "Listen first, if the old man is blinded, how can you and I deal with it?" ”
"I don't care, I just want to ask clearly" The bandit retorted to him, saying: "Ah Wei, you know me, I'm a rough person, I'm anxious, I don't care about anything, what I'm most afraid of is betrayal"
"But ......" Ah Ping didn't like to speak, and he didn't know how to continue to stop him, but he was choked by the bandits, and he couldn't speak.
"It's better to be like this" I saw that they were arguing and a little irritable, and I had a plan in my heart, so I said bluntly: "Lure that water ghost out, let's ask again, how about it?" ”
They were angry at first, but when they heard my idea, they thought about it.
"Feasible" Ah Gong thought for a while, agreed, and for the first time glanced at me with impressive eyes, I don't know whether to thank me for helping him out, or to thank me for thinking of a good idea.
The bandit didn't like to think, but he also affirmed my thoughts, and I felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart that I could restrain his stubbornness.
"What's possible?"
The bandit did not hesitate and asked me directly.
He seemed in a hurry.
"Soul incense" I glanced at Ah Gong and said.
After hearing this, he understood what I meant, and just wanted to bring me the remaining soul-attracting incense from last time, but I stopped him.
"Now is not the time, the old man is here," I said, according to their thoughts, the old man's ability is not ordinary, he will definitely be able to discover the effect of the soul incense, and he can only wait until he is gone, and the water ghost can only be lured here and arrested.
I motioned for them to lie down first to avoid being discovered by the old man, as that might have fallen short.
I walked closer to them, found a hidden bush and lay down.
The grass here was so wet that I didn't feel very comfortable, and the bandits and Ah Gong seemed to have adapted to this environment a long time ago, and they didn't react much, but stared inside in a proper manner.
The reason for the formation of oases in the desert is that there are many high mountains nearby, and most of the oases are backed by high mountains and facing the desert.
In the summer, the snow and ice on the mountains melt and flow down the slopes to form rivers, which flow through the desert and seep into the sand and become groundwater.
This groundwater flows along impervious rock formations to the low-lying areas of the desert and then gushes out of the surface.
In addition, rainwater from afar seeps into the ground and can also merge with groundwater to flow into the low-lying areas of the desert.
Or due to changes in the earth's crust, impermeable rock formations are fractured, causing groundwater to flow along the cracks to low-lying desert areas and wash out of the ground.
When water comes into existence in this low-lying area, all kinds of organisms emerge, develop and multiply, thus forming an oasis.
Therefore, being able to see an oasis in the desert is really something that you can only encounter with great luck.
The water droplets on the grass stuck to my body, and I felt like my whole body was almost drenched, but not soaking wet, and I was always a little uncomfortable.
I couldn't have a seizure, so I could only learn from my grandfather and them to stare inside.
After the old man had carved the body of the water ghost, he stepped aside and casually smeared some cigarette ash on his hands to wipe off the blood on it.
He walked to the side and lit a cigarette and smoked it, the smoke from his mouth covered his face, and he sighed deeply with a sad face, as if he had many troubles.
When I saw him like this, I was a little stunned, but he still didn't get rid of his habit of smoking, and he liked to light one for everything.
After he had finished carving, the water ghost fell to the ground and fell asleep, very calm, not as if he was going to do evil.
I don't know what the old man was thinking, but maybe he wasn't as ruthless as I guessed, and I seemed to be starting to relent.
I shook my head, pulled my nerves back, and watched the old man's next move.
He took a few puffs of cigarettes, and then found a blanket for the water ghost to put up, and then took out the black pistol that had saved my life from his clothes, and muttered: "I don't have enough to eat, this ghost place is just difficult."
As the words fell, he walked quickly to the other side of the trunk, as if leading to the depths of the oasis.
"Good Chance"
I was a little excited, and hurriedly said to Ah Gong.
Ah Gong's bandits understood and crawled next to me together.
After the former lit the soul-attracting incense with his bare hands, he said, "When he smells the smell, he will naturally come over."
"When the bandit comes, you will hold him down, and Ah Gong will cast a spell to catch him," I nodded and said.
Xuan is about to insert the soul-attracting incense in a place close to the gap between the trunks of the tree, so that the burning smoke can successfully drift inside.
It was the first time I had worked with them, and I was a little nervous.
The bandit nodded, not panicking, patted me on the shoulder to give me some comfort, and then found a place closer to the soul incense and lay down.
Ah Gong was not like him, but half-squatted up and took out two yellow talismans from his bag, which were engraved with "Fix your mind and fix your body and order Mount Tai to be like a law" and "Calm your mind and make a system of evil and order to return to your place like a law"
I don't know much about this thing, but I'm still convinced of Ah Gong's ability.
I hope I can succeed in finding out the answer this time, and I can't imagine the consequences of failure.
The effect of the soul-attracting incense is relatively slow, we have tried it before, we waited for half an hour, and it slowly floated out of white smoke, or the result of Ah Gong's increased firepower.
I blew in the direction of the trunk, and white smoke drifted through the gap.
All three of us held our breath, waiting for the white smoke to slowly disperse and be absorbed by the water spirit.
Success or failure is here, if the water ghost is successfully seduced by sandalwood, Ah Gong can restrain him, and then after several forced questions, he can explore the answer to the truth.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh at my own pursuit of answers, and I was still so persistent, probably because of the feeling that the old man gave me.
He is not simple, Ah Gong is not simple, the bandits are not simple, all of them are not simple.
And I, like a childish little ghost, ran after them, which was not what I wanted to be at all.
