Chapter 10 Confusing the Present Situation
Huang Jun smiled: "So, what about the two fighters? How do they explain it? Did they also rush for a day? Moreover, they are professional soldiers, not to mention their physical strength, why, even they feel tired? ”
Shu Yao didn't speak, just fell into deep thought, and Wen Hai nodded, "That's right, I didn't think about it carefully before, but now that I think about it, it's really suspicious, and Xiao Xu selected for me must be an elite, although there is a little distance from here to the village, but this distance for a professional soldier should not make them physically exhausted so much, in this way, they will feel tired, which is very suspicious."
"It's weird to look at, like I feel much better now, I don't feel like I did when I was in the village, it's just, why is this happening? And what does that mean? Shu Yao said.
"There must be a reason why we are in this situation, and there must be some kind of purpose, which means that when we are tired, then something can happen," Huang said.
"Of course, when you are tired, you have to rest," Wen Hai said.
"Wait, rest? Yes, under normal circumstances, if Grandma Zhang asked us to go in and rest, we would not easily agree, but we were really tired at that time, then we were very likely to agree to her at this time" Shu Yao woke up.
"Not only that, do you think, when we were on the way back, did you become more and more unable to support it?" Huang Jundao.
"That's right, we were really tired at that time," Wen Hai nodded.
"So what were you thinking at the time?" Huang Jundao.
"I wanted to sit down and take a break," Shu Yao said.
"Yes, I think that's probably the purpose of that mysterious power," Huang said.
"You mean, it wants us to rest?" Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun shook his head, "I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, or maybe there's something else in it, but I'm sure if we really stopped to rest at that time, then what would happen after that was unpredictable."
"What will happen?" Shu Yao said.
"It's useless to think too much now, unless we really try it, but the price is now unaffordable for everyone, and I feel that the key to things may not be rest," Huang Jun said.
"Not resting? What is that? Shu Yao said.
Huang Jun smiled bitterly: "If I knew, I wouldn't be meditating here, but no one came to chase us at that time, that is to say, under normal circumstances, even if we stop to rest, there will be no problem, but that kind of power must make us stop and rest, which is intriguing, I can only say that what is going to happen may be related to rest, but it is definitely not rest itself."
"Forget it, don't think about it, what are we going to do next?" Wenhaidao.
Huang Jun pondered, and said after a while: "Information, I need detailed information"
"What kind of information?" Wenhaidao.
Huang Jun said: "First, check the local chronicles to see if a similar situation has happened here before. Second, do a comprehensive scientific examination of the surrounding topography. Third, monitor the situation in the village at all times to see what new developments are made."
"No problem," Wen Hai said.
"Let Shu Yao help you, some things are not as simple as science, with Shu Yao here, you can also have more ideas" Huang Jun said.
"What about you? What are you doing? Shu Yao said dissatisfiedly.
"Me? Of course I'm sleeping, you don't know, I'm tired now? It's just right to sleep now," Huang Jun said with a smile.
Shu Yao was speechless, but he didn't say anything.
"In a month, let's meet again, Xiao Jia is here for the time being, after all, we want to solve this mystery, Xiao Jia may be a key." After Huang Jun finished speaking, he fell asleep.
Shu Yao was angry and funny, while Wen Hai laughed on the side, but didn't say anything.
In this month, Huang Jun rarely saw Wen Hai and Shu Yao, and he must be working hard to collect information, and in this month, Huang Jun was not idle, constantly thinking about the bits and pieces he experienced in the village, he had a feeling that the mysterious force in the village had been trying to guide them to do one thing, whether it was Grandma Zhang's warm invitation to them before, or in the process of rushing to exhaust their physical strength, getting more and more tired, it seemed to be for this purpose. But what Huang Jun couldn't figure out was what exactly this mysterious power needed them to do. Previously, Huang Jun guessed that they needed to stop and rest so that the people in the village could catch up, but then Huang Jun did not notice that the people in the village had caught up, on the contrary, the village seemed unusually quiet. This makes Huang Jun puzzled, if this is not the case, then, what does it want to do? After a month of deliberation, Huang Jun still has no results, and he always feels that there seems to be an answer in his mind soon, but he just can't touch the final result.
A month later, Wen Hai and Shu Yao rushed to Huang Jun one after another, and when Huang Jun saw their expressions, he knew that he should find something, and the depressed heart in his heart was also swept away, but he faintly looked forward to it.
"What's the takeaway this time?" Huang Jun said with a smile.
"It's a bit rewarding, but I don't know if it's useful", Wen Hai had a mixed expression of joy and confusion on his face.
"Tell me about it," Huang Jun said.
"I found this clue from the local chronicles, and I also took a lot of effort to get it, I searched through the entire local chronicles, and found no clues directly related to this incident, but there is one thing recorded in it, I think it is very strange, I don't know what the connection between the two is," Wen Haidao.
"What's the matter?" Huang Jun asked.
"According to the records inside, about 300 years ago, when this village had not yet been developed, that is to say, this area was a mountain, and there was a medicine collector who went into the mountain to collect medicine, and when he went to the mountain, which is about where the village is now, I don't know what he saw, he fainted on the ground, and was later rescued by the medicine pickers who came and went, and sent home."
"How can such a thing be recorded in the local annals?" Huang Jun frowned.
"Of course, this kind of trivial matter will not be recorded in the local chronicles, but at that time, the medicine collector was still a celebrity in the village to which he belonged, and he was received by a certain powerful minister, because he would often offer some valuable medicines, so his experience naturally became the key focus of the local chronicle," Wen Haidao.
"So, what about later?" Huang Jundao.
"Later, the man recuperated at home for three months before he regained his senses, but when asked what they had seen in the mountains, he kept silent, no matter how much they asked, and the matter was settled."
"The question is, what does this have to do with what we're experiencing now?" Huang Jundao.
"I thought so at the time, but because this incident was too bizarre, and the location of the accident also matched the location of the village, so for the sake of safety, I found the missing descendant to see what I could find.
"What did you find?" Huang Jun asked.
"From the descendants of that family, I got a note left by the herb collector at that time, which described in detail what he saw in the mountains at that time, and based on the situation inside, I guessed that this incident may have something to do with what we are trying to find now." Wenhaidao.
"Oh? Tell me about it," Huang Jun showed interest.
"Shadow, what the herb picker saw at that time was a shadow," Wen Haidao.
"Shadows? What kind of shadow? Huang Jun said.
"The shadow of the human form, when the herb pickers entered the mountain, it was noon, and the noon sun was originally very strong, and the owner of the land was rarely visited, so there was no one else except the herb pickers. Then, at that time, the herb picker saw a lot of shadows moving, "Wen Haidao."
"Wait, you mean to say?" Huang Jun seemed to react.
"That's right, it stands to reason that the shadow must have an ontology, the shadow itself is an optical phenomenon, and there must be a carrier in the real material world, but the shadows that the herb pickers saw at that time were just simple shadows, without any carrier," Wen Haidao.
"This is not common sense, how can a shadow move alone? And it's in such sunshine, you have to know that the shadow is just a shadow, is it possible that someone was hiding in it at that time, and then the medicine picker didn't see people, but saw the shadow? Huang Jun said.
"This is unlikely, because according to the records of the herb picker, he saw dense shadows all over the mountains at that time, and I think if there were so many people hiding, he would definitely not be unable to find it," Wen Hai affirmed.
That is, those are the shadows that are detached from the physical entity and move alone? That's a little weird, right? Huang Jun said.
"Who says it's not, I wonder if it's a hallucination of the herb picker, or an improvised fabrication," Wen Hai smiled bitterly.
"That is impossible, according to the scientific level of the people at that time, it is not very possible to have such an imagination, and if he really wants to show off, why should he not say a word in front of the villagers? Among them, there must be something that we understand is not lonely and strange. Huang Jun affirmed.
"After so many years, I'm afraid it's too late to pursue this clue, but I wonder if this has something to do with the case we're encountering now?" Wenhaidao.
Huang Jun nodded, "Well, that's right, there must be some associations, but I can't figure out which aspect of the correlation exists now, Shu Yao, what do you say?" ”
"I thought, could it be that kind of thing?" Shu Yao said uncertainly. As a guardian, he often deals with evil spirits, so he is naturally more familiar with evil spirits, and once something happens outside of common sense, he naturally has to think about evil spirits.
"I don't think it's very likely, you know, it was noon, the sun was in full bloom, no matter how deep the Dao was, no matter how powerful the Yin Qi was, the evil spirits probably didn't have that much ability, if they really wanted to appear there, the only end would be to scatter their souls," Huang Jun affirmed.
"To be honest, I don't think it's possible, but if it's not a yin spirit, then what is it? I really can't think of it," Shu Yao said.
