Chapter 45: Getting Out of Trouble (Part II)
As soon as the old man saw that he couldn't talk to Cao Lei, he turned his face to me and said a little reservedly: "Venerable Master, actually, we didn't have any ill will towards you just now, and we deliberately reminded you to pay attention with our expressions. ”
The other ghosts chimed in: "Yes, yes! ”
I'm a little surprised, it turns out that the posture of these ghosts just now is not eyeing me and Zhao Xiaoyi, but a kind reminder? If you think about it carefully, it seems that they really didn't do anything against us just now, and that "cold humor" at that time was not a way to warn of danger? It's just that I didn't know who I was friends or foes at the time, so I misunderstood, and I was a little ashamed.
In order to make up for this guilt, I promised in a big way: "Fellow villagers, rest assured, I have found a way to crack this talisman array, and we will all be able to get out of trouble soon." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi heard my bold words, but raised the jade talisman in his hand, and said suspiciously: "But, Brother Zhou, didn't you say that this jade talisman is wrong?" ”
I explained, "Although this jade talisman is not right, it reminds me of other ways to break this formation. ”
Zhao Xiaoyi's eyes lit up: "What method?" ”
I glanced at the crowd and explained very confidently: "Speaking of which, the reason is actually very simple, since this ghost hitting the wall formation needs a jade talisman to open, then, nine times out of ten, it is also arranged with a jade talisman, therefore, we only need to find those jade talismans and remove them, this ghost hitting the wall formation, naturally it will be self-defeating." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi nodded, with a look of sudden realization: "So that's the case?" Brother Zhou, you are simply too powerful, but, Brother Zhou, since it can be broken so easily, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
I laughed and scolded, "Stinky girl, didn't I just think of it when I was inspired? Otherwise, it would have been here for so long? ”
Zhao Xiaoyi then asked, "So, Brother Zhou, where can we find those jade talismans in the array?" I don't think I noticed it all along, huh? ”
Some of the ghosts chimed in, "Yes, Venerable Master, we've been walking back and forth here for a few months, and we haven't found any jade talismans, have we?" ”
I know that when Zhao Xiaoyi asks me questions, many times it is not that she really doesn't understand some simple logic, but wants to help me do further analysis by asking questions, or wants to learn some knowledge.
Therefore, I didn't scold her again, but explained very patiently and professionally: "Using ready-made jade talismans to arrange talisman arrays, no matter how powerful the formation is after being stimulated, but the jade talisman itself is always a fatal weakness, and it is easy to be drawn from the bottom of the kettle, this point is almost all similar formations, we understand this truth, and of course the people who set up the formation also understand this truth, so they will definitely hide the jade talisman in a secret place and try not to be discovered." ”
Zhao Xiaoyi nodded with a serious expression: "So, if we want to break this formation, it will take a lot of effort?" ”
I waved my hand and said a little heroically: "However, everything is not far from its origin, as long as people who really understand the principles of the formation, they can still find those jade talismans quickly according to some clues." ”
As soon as Zhao Xiaoyi heard this, he immediately became happy: "Hehe, Brother Zhou, in this way, you are already confident, and you already know where the jade talisman is hidden?" ”
I said in my heart, stinky girl, isn't this clear? If I'm not sure, can I talk here? As a mature and stable senior leader, will I easily do the kind of thing that pretends to be forced and is slapped in the face?
Of course, I won't say these words in front of everyone, even if it's Zhao Xiaoyi, I usually won't say it explicitly, because this kind of thing of "pretending to be forced to slap your face" has always been a very advanced knowledge, which can only be understood, not spoken, and to what extent you can cultivate depends on your personal understanding.
Of course, I also recently discovered that Zhao Xiaoyi's talent in this area is actually quite high, for example, some of the questions just now, which seem silly and sweet, but in fact, they all ask the point, especially the last paragraph, which is simply a breakthrough, and very successfully pushed me to the center of the stage, the most dazzling place.
Therefore, I naturally took it as a deed, pointed my hand at the big stone, and said very stylishly: "If my judgment is correct, the eye of this rune array should be under this big stone, that is to say, there must be at least one jade rune buried under this, and it is also the most critical one, as long as we dig it out, this formation will naturally be broken." ”
All the ghosts were shocked, as if they thought that it would be too easy to break the formation like this, right? Actually, don't look at my coaxing appearance on the surface, I also want to slap myself twice, such a simple question, if I had figured it out earlier, I wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble at all, and I would have solved it in a very chic way.
Now that I think about it, the reason why I didn't think of this layer before was that I was really not familiar with the rune array, but I only knew some basic principles, and I didn't have much experience with the actual array, so I couldn't identify it for a while; The second is that from the very beginning, I fell into a mindset, and I always thought that this ghost hitting the wall was an illusion directly cast by a certain spirit ghost with high mana, and it was necessary to find and defeat him himself to break it, so I took so many detours.
However, although everyone was a little surprised by the truth, they had high hopes that I would be able to break the formation, so they soon took action and began to pick up the rubble, and it only took three or four minutes to clear most of the rubble aside, but the remaining five or six large pieces remained untouched.
The old man came over and reported, "Venerable Master, most of them have been cleaned up, but I haven't found the jade talisman you mentioned, and there are still a few big pieces left, I wonder if there will be one below?" However, our mana is limited, and these big rocks can't be moved. ”
I know what they are saying is the truth, because the spirit ghost has no physical body, and can lift things, not by the power of muscles, but by directly consuming spiritual power to complete, but the cultivation is different, and the power that can burst out is different, and the cultivation is said to be able to move mountains and fill rivers, and many junior spirit ghosts are already very good to be able to hold a basin of water, although these stones only weigh dozens of catties, but for them, it is indeed a bit difficult.
So, I shook my hand and smiled, "It's okay, I'll just come." ”
Then I rolled up my sleeves, crouched down, and removed the few remaining boulders one by one, but I found nothing, and everyone immediately showed disappointment.
But I was confident, pointed to the soil on the ground, and said very firmly: "It should be buried underneath, and it must be dug up to find it, yes, there are a lot of farm tools in the backyard of the house in Yuyang, let's go back and get a few to facilitate excavation." ”
After all, this is the only hope at present, as soon as everyone heard this, they suddenly came to the spirit again, and immediately a few spirit ghosts volunteered to say: "Farm tools are such a thing, everyone has them, let's go find them." ”
After saying that, a few young spirits and ghosts scattered in a hurry, and they should have gone to the nearest yard to look for farm tools.
Zhao Xiaoyi suddenly pulled the corner of my clothes and said, "Brother Zhou, I forgot to change my clothes just now, I really don't want to wear this strange clothes anymore." ”
I turned my head to see Zhao Xiaoyi wearing paper clothes, and I was immediately happy: "I thought you hadn't been enough bridesmaids?" ”
Zhao Xiaoyi pouted: "You are not the best man, am I still a bridesmaid?" ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and change our clothes while everyone is looking for farm tools, and my coat seems to have been forgotten in the east wing." ”
So, Zhao Xiaoyi and I returned to the courtyard, and after changing our clothes, we went to the house in the backyard to get a shovel, and then walked out directly from the back door, walked forward along the alley, walked, and sure enough, we saw everyone again, which shows that the spell of the ghost hitting the wall has indeed not been lifted.
When we walked into the crowd, we found that several people were digging hard with shovels, pickaxes and other farm tools in their hands, so I reminded: "Everyone be careful, don't break the jade talisman, it contains huge spiritual power, and if you are not careful, it will cause an explosion." ”
As soon as I said this, everyone immediately stopped, and there was a thin spirit ghost, so frightened that he threw away all the pickaxes in his hands.
I know, my words accidentally frightened everyone, people often say "cowardly cowards", it seems that these ordinary ghosts, really very timid, it is estimated that it may be related to their harsh living environment.
I had no choice but to take the shovel, walk up and smile and say, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, I'm just talking about extreme situations, don't be afraid... Forget it, or I'll do it, right? ”
As I spoke, I brandished my shovel and began to dig, and seeing that I was a master who had taken the lead so bravely, a few daring ghosts also continued to dig, and when they reached a depth of about a foot, suddenly a golden light shone through the earth.
Everyone immediately exclaimed: "Sure enough, there is something!" ”
I threw the shovel and dug it by hand, and soon found a jade plaque with the same shape as just now, but this jade plaque was engraved with runes on both sides, and the runes were extremely complicated, and I suddenly remembered that this should be the "compound talisman" that my aunt said.
The so-called compound character, is more than two single-character text, according to a certain law combination hooked together, in order to achieve more powerful functions, or as a large symbol of the component, but unfortunately, due to the previous lack of attention, whether it is a "compound character", or "symbolic array", I only know the skin, can not complete the layout independently, and do not know how to crack it.
Of course, as a born pure yang body, I have a simpler method, that is, my saliva, which can dissolve most of the materials used to depict runes, so that the spiritual power contained in them can be quickly dissipated, which is why I was able to break Yu Yang's "thousand wisps of runes" with only a few sips of wine.
I picked up the jade talisman, and then asked Cao Lei to bring a basin of water, cleaned all the jade talisman and the soil on his hands, then stretched out his fingers, dipped some saliva, and evenly smeared them on those runes, and immediately, the golden light emitted by the runes began to dim, and after only seven or eight seconds, it disappeared completely, revealing the body of the jade plaque.
Of course, because its rune is engraved, this jade rune can still be activated again, but it needs to be refilled with some special materials, such as my blood, and it is also one of the best materials, it is estimated that when the time comes, it will become even more powerful if this rune array is restarted.
I put away the jade talisman and said to everyone, "You should be able to go out now, everyone try?" ”
After saying that, I took the lead and walked outside the alley, and sure enough, after walking about 300 meters, I saw the entrance of the alley, and after going out, I was on the street.
By this time, I could already see my luxury SUV, which was quietly parked on the side of the street, except that the left rear door had been fully opened, and there was a large golden python coiled on the roof, staring at us with scarlet eyes.
