Chapter 140: The Spiritualist Table
At this time, a cloudy wind blew, and Xiao Hei drilled out from the location where Jiang Ying had confirmed the location of the "Wangmu Terrace" before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It ran to Zhou Jie's side, licked Zhou Jie's hand, and then called at him a few times.
"Brother Gu, Xiao Hei said that it has found the ruins of the 'Wangmu Terrace' under the ground, but there is a very strange barrier around the 'Wangmu Terrace', so that it cannot get close to the 'Wangmu Terrace'." Zhou Jie touched Xiao Hei's head, and then said to Gu Xianmi.
"Enchantment? Could it be the Onmyoji Enchantment? Gu Xianmi said with a frown.
"Huh? Brother Gu, are you saying that an onmyoji has already set up an enchantment here?! Zhou Jie asked in surprise. At this time, Xiao Hei, who was squatting beside him, suddenly called out to him a few times.
"Oh, oh. Xiao Hei said that judging from the fluctuations in the spiritual power of the enchantment, this enchantment has been arranged for at least more than a hundred years. Zhou Jie said.
"Not just a hundred years, at least two thousand years. This enchantment should have been arranged by the onmyoji who built the 'Wangmu Terrace', and usually the enchantment is in a closed state, and only when I or the corpse use spiritual power to activate the 'Wangmu Terrace', the enchantment will be activated. By the way, master, before you came to rescue us, that Qianyan demon asked me where the 'Soul Conjuring Table' was. If he really has some connection with the Onmyoji, then the so-called 'Wangmu Terrace' should be the Onmyoji's 'Spiritualist Altar'. At this time, Jiang Ying, who was standing aside, said.
"'Spiritualist Table'? Brother Gu, what is the 'Spiritualist Table'? Zhou Jie asked.
Gu Xianmi thought about it carefully, and then said, "If it's the 'Soul Altar'... It seems that my previous conjecture was a little wrong. The word 'spiritualist platform' doesn't appear in any ancient books I've read, but literally, it's used to summon spirits. The point is that the onmyoji who built it used it to summon spirits. Although the 'Spiritualist Table' was built to create a corpse that should not have appeared, it was probably only a side effect of the actual purpose of the 'Spiritualist Table'. Because at that time, the creation of corpses did not meet the definition of 'spiritualism'.
So, what kind of soul is really used to summon the soul of the 'Soul Altar', I think we still have to start with the Onmyoji itself who built the 'Soul Altar'. The onmyoji who built this 'Soul Calling Platform' should be Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, and I checked him on the Internet last night. According to historical records, this Liu Fa was the sixth son of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, and his mother was a lowly palace maid. His birth was simply an accident, so he was not favored by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty.
Such an unfavored prince was also sealed in Changsha, which was very far away from Chang'an and very backward at that time, Liu Fa's heart must not have much affection for his father, on the contrary, maternal love is very important to him. And according to historical records, Liu Fa was very filial to his mother. Therefore, I guess that in Liu Fa's heart, 'Wangmutai' and 'Spiritualism' mean the same thing. ”
"Huh?! Brother Gu, do you mean that Liu Fa used this 'Soul Conjuring Platform' to summon his mother's soul?! Such a long distance from Chang'an to Changsha can also summon spirits?! Where did a prince learn this skill? Zhou Jie was shocked by Gu Xianmi's words.
"Do you know that Chu Ci contains an article 'Conjuring Spirits'. Although the author of 'The Conjuring' has been controversial now, some say that it was written by Qu Yuan, and some people say that it was written by Qu Yuan's disciple Song Yu, but regardless of the author, this poem at least reflects the customs of the Chu State at that time. Although ancient Changsha was not the central area of the Chu State, it inherited a lot of Chu style. Therefore, I think that Liu Fa should have learned these onmyoji skills that are similar to witchcraft after coming to Changsha. Gu Xianmi said.
Zhou Jie took a moment to digest Gu Xianmi's words, and then asked: "So, does the onmyoji hiding in the shadows want to use the 'Soul Conjuring Platform' to summon spirits from a distance?" ”
Gu Xianmi thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe it is, maybe not." After all, the current Onmyoji is far inferior to the Onmyoji of the past, and the entire spiritual world has also changed a lot from before, and it is doubtful whether this 'Soul Conjuring Platform' can be used now. So, it's possible that the Onmyoji hiding in a dark corner just wants to use the 'Spiritualist Table' to confirm the location of the corpse, but we still have to look at this 'Spiritualist Table' to find out. Jiang Ying, how far is the 'Spiritualist Stage' from the ground? Can we dig it out? ”
"That, Brother Gu, Xiao Hei said that the top of the 'Soul Calling Platform' is close to five meters from the ground, how to dig it." Zhou Jie scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.
"Five meters?! Five meters, then we can't dig it. Let me think again. Gu Xianmi paced in place and began to bow his head and think seriously.
Seeing that Gu Xianmi couldn't think of a way, Zhou Jie suddenly raised his hand and said, "Brother Gu, if the Onmyoji finds this 'Soul Conjuring Platform', they will definitely use it as well." So what will they do? They probably won't dig out the 'Spiritualist Table', because it would be too loud to suit their style at all. So, can we think about what they're going to do? ”
"Onmyoji is good at soul magic, and it is rumored that the strongest Onmyoji can even go out of the body. Although the current Onmyoji should not have such skills, they can remotely control the ghosts and let the ghosts become their clones and deal with them. Gu Xianmi raised his head and said.
Zhou Jie nodded and said, "No wonder that corpse yesterday said that our Taoism is completely different from that of the Onmyoji, it turns out that the Onmyoji still has such a ability, we demon hunters can only let the ghost envoy order the little ghost, and there is no way to directly turn the vision of the ghost envoy into our vision...... Wait a minute! It occurred to me that I remembered! Brother Gu, can we use the Peep Rune Array created by Sister Chen Jin on our ghost envoys? ”
As soon as Gu Xianmi heard Zhou Jie's words, his eyes immediately lit up and said: "This is indeed a good idea, it is worth trying!" I have brought a nectar talisman, Zhou Jie, do you have a mirror talisman and a spiritual eye talisman? ”
Zhou Jie touched himself, then flipped over his backpack again, and finally spread his hands and said, "Brother Gu, I'm sorry, I didn't ......bring the mirror talisman and the spiritual eye talisman with me."
"I really didn't bring it, that's fine, let's go back first. After all, the 'Spiritualist Table' won't run away, so let's go back and prepare for it first. Gu Xianmi sighed and said.
Since the two of them were not enough to form a peep rune array, and there was really no better way, they could only choose to go back first. So the two cleaned up the scene a little, and set up a non-hurting phantom array on the earthen bag above the 'Spiritualist Table'.
In an instant, the phantom array hid the entire dirt bag. If an ordinary person came to see it, he could only see a flat field. He wouldn't even notice it when he walked over the so-called 'flat ground'. Because this phantom array will not only confuse the eyes of ordinary people, but also confuse the perception of balance of ordinary people.
Gu Xianmi and Zhou Jie checked the effect of the phantom array, and after confirming that it was correct, they left Yuelu Mountain.
Two hours after Gu Xianmi and Zhou Jie left, a tall man wearing a black coat and sunglasses walked out of the woods. He climbed down the steep slope and came to the place where Gu Xianmi had fought with the demon refining before.
Standing in the position where Gu Xianmi and the demon refining had made their first move, the man closed his eyes and thought for a moment. Then he opened his eyes, climbed up the steep slope, and went straight west. The route he traveled was exactly the same as the route he took when he went to find Zhou Jie and Jiang Ying after refining demons and getting rid of Gu Xianmi!
It didn't take long for the man to come to the phantom array arranged by Gu Xianmi and Zhou Jie. He looked a little and knew that someone had set up a phantom array to hide the terrain here. However, this phantom array is only useful for ordinary people and some imps.
The man smiled slightly, then crouched down and lightly pressed a palm print on the land outside the phantom array. A moment later, the phantom array in front of him slowly melted away like spring ice and snow, revealing the dirt bag that shrouded the phantom array.
He took out a quaint gossip mirror from his bosom, recited a short incantation, and a black shadow shaped like an ape immediately came out of the gossip mirror, and then got into the dirt bag. And the man stood quietly next to the earthen bag with the gossip mirror, not moving.
Five minutes later, an ape-like black shadow sprang out of the dirt bag and returned directly to the gossip mirror. Only then did the man regain his activity. He took back the gossip mirror, sneered and said, "Dragon, it's really good that you are hiding with the corpse, and I must use the 'Soul Conjuring Platform' to lock the location of the corpse, right?" But, Spirit, when I find you, hum..."
The man stretched out his hand and waved at the dirt bag, and the illusion array exactly the same as the one set up by Gu Xianmi and Zhou Jie before appeared on the dirt bag, enveloping the dirt bag. Then the man put on a baseball cap and walked slowly into the woods and disappeared.
