Chapter 936: The Usefulness of the Compass
Xue Qian was hit by me and staggered onto the paper boat. This time he didn't fall into the water, but stood on it safely.
Xue Qian patted her chest and turned her head and said, "Old Zhao." You almost scared the hell out of me. I'm ready to plunge into the lake. ”
I laughed and said, "Old Xue, what are you afraid of? We are souls now. What does soul mean? No **, no weight, even without this ship. You stand lightly on the water, and you won't fall. ”
Xue Qian said: "In this case, why do we have to work so this ship?" Why don't you just walk right on the water? ”
I shook my head and said, "You forgot the last time?" This ghost lake is so big that we don't know where the island is. We're going to have to take us by this ship. ”
The two of us waited at the bow of the boat for a while, but the paper boat didn't move.
Xue Qian scratched her head and said, "Why don't you start the boat yet?" ”
Then, he shouted into the distance: "We are already on the boat, let's get on the boat." ”
The voice came far away, and there was no response. It is estimated that the woman of Anle Temple is too lazy to take care of him. Cloth festival years old.
Xue Qian said: "This boat doesn't seem to have oars." We can't stay here all the time, can we? ”
I pointed to the cabin and said, "Shall we go in and have a look?" Maybe there's some imp waiting for us inside. ”
Xue Qian said: "This little ghost should be sent by that woman, and it won't harm us." So he was relieved to follow me in.
When the two of us walked into the cabin, we were immediately stunned.
There were no imps, not even furniture, and the cabin was empty, like a freshly built room.
I looked up and saw that the room was tall. It seems that the large ship with triple eaves looks like it has three layers from the outside. There was only one room in the ship.
Xue Qian said: "This boat is really paper-paste." It looks beautiful on the outside, but there's nothing on the inside. ”
I looked to the ground. "It's not nothing," he said. Aren't there a few candles here? ”
Xue Qian said: "This candle can't be eaten or drunk, what do we want it for?" ”
I shook my head slightly. Walk over to the candle. Then squatted down.
Xue Qian may not know her, but I do. It's a candlestick. In the center of the candlestick is a compass. As the paper boat swayed slightly on the water, its hands swayed back and forth, but only slightly.
I pointed to the compass and said, "Xue Qian, do you know what the compass is for?" ”
Xue Qian said: "It's used to catch ghosts." Lao Zhao, what do you mean? ”
"In the beginning, the compass was used to guide the way," I said. Especially on the ship, in the vast sea, there is no reference except the sun, moon and stars, so the compass is even more needed. ”
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, you are giving me a brain teaser, of course I know that the compass is used to point directions." ”
I laughed twice, pointed to a red dot on the compass, and said, "The island is in this direction, and the woman from Anle Temple has already told us in the direction." ”
Xue Qian gave me a thumbs up and said, "Lao Zhao, you are amazing, you can guess that woman's thoughts, and you have a good heart?" ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Don't make such a joke, we have to rush to the island and beg someone to do something." ”
Xue Qian said: "The key is how do we rush over? ”
I pointed to the candle array around the compass and said, "That woman may be trying to test me." ”
Then, I reached out and moved a few candles. Put them in the right place.
The candle array was urged, and the yin and yang qi passed through the paper boat, scraping us from cold to hot.
The paper boat had no weight, and as soon as it was blown by these two air currents, it immediately began to spin in the lake.
Xue Qian shouted: "Old Zhao, I admire you more and more now." ”
As soon as he complimented me, the bow of the ship jerked up. Xue Qian fell coldly in the cabin. What was supposed to be a compliment turned into a curse.
I was sweating profusely and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, give me some time and adjust the angle." ”
My fingers clasped tightly on the plank, trying to hold my body in place, and then I thought about the direction and size of yin and yang. Then the candles were adjusted one by one.
After a few minutes, the paper boat finally came down and drove in the direction indicated by the red line.
Xue Qian stood next to me and said, "I can't imagine that a few candles can make a paper boat walk on the water, the Taoist technique is really magical." ”
I stood on the bow of the boat, looked at the fog in front of me, and said with a smile: "You are so interested in Taoism, why don't you take Mr. Lu as your teacher." ”
Xue Qian said with a smile: "I'll solve the Zhong Kui behind me first, now that Mr. Lu promised to teach me Taoism, I don't have the heart to learn." ”
The two of us waited in the bow of the boat for about a quarter of an hour, and we saw the island from afar.
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, you can manipulate the candle, blow the paper boat with the second phase of yin and yang, and drive on the water, I don't know if you have the ability to brake suddenly." ”
I laughed and said, "What's so hard about that?" ”
I turned around and walked into the cabin, exhaled in one breath, and blew out the candles.
The speed of the paper boat immediately slowed down. The bow of the boat moved slowly, touched the stone next to the island, shook for a while, and stopped.
I made a gesture of please and said, "Old Xue, let's go." ”
The two of us jumped to the island and used the moonlight to find the woman of Anrakuji Temple.
I found the original palace from memory. I was about to go in when I heard someone behind me say, "You don't have to go in, I'm behind you." ”
I looked back and saw the woman of Anrakuji standing in the moonlight.
She looked at me approvingly and said, "You're smart enough to use candle arrays to urge paper boats to come to my island." ”
I smiled and said, "Awards, awards." ”
The woman said, "I don't overstate my praise for you. If a person lives long enough, he can always cultivate a powerful Taoist technique by studying and practicing diligently, and accumulating little by little. But the mind is different. A person with a strong humanitarian skill, but his brain is not bright, and it is still very dangerous. There are many powerful people, haven't they died under the intrigues of your master and apprentice? ”
I thought to myself, "Conspiracy? Is this a compliment to me? ”
Fortunately, after the woman said these two words, she said, "What are you coming to me for?" You can't deal with that ghost yourself? ”
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you know we had met a ghost?" ”
The woman smiled: "When he broke the ban, the red light could be seen dozens of miles away, of course I know." ”
I said, "This ghost has something to do with Danfang. ”
The woman nodded and asked, "And then?" ”
I was about to tell her about the matter, but when the words came to my lips, I kept a heartfelt eye and said, "If I tell you this news, you have to promise me one thing." ”
The woman smiled and said, "I won't agree to your request." If you want to find out what you know, I will definitely find out. ”
I was stunned for a moment, and thought, "It's over, aren't we looking for death?" ”
I glanced at Xue Qian and pointed to my neck.
Xue Qian immediately understood, stretched out her hand to strangle my neck, and shouted as fiercely as she could: "If you don't agree to Lao Zhao's request, I will strangle him." ”
The woman smiled and bent over, she laughed for a while, and said, "Are you two here to make me laugh?" There is no such threat to others in the world. ”
I said, "If I die, you won't be able to get the pill in my body." ”
The woman smiled: "First of all, Xue Qian will not kill you. Second, even if he wants to kill you, I have the ability to save you. ”
I was about to speak when I suddenly felt a flower in front of me. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind blew in my face, and before I knew what had happened, I heard a thud beside me, as if something had fallen to the ground.
A few seconds later, I turned around and saw the woman standing in front of me with a smile, and Xue Qian getting up from the ground with a disgraced face.
The woman smiled, "How's that?" Convinced? ”
Xue Qian said with a bitter face: "I have always believed it, why do you want me to fall." ”
The woman looked at the two of us and said, "Can you sue me now?" Why did you two come to me? ”
