Chapter 134: Oriental Shadow
The female corpse's right hand holds a hexagram compass that was not used in ancient times, and her left hand tightly grasps a long sword of unknown material, although I don't know how long the female corpse has been here, but according to the time, it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, the female corpse has been at least close to three hundred years, this sword is still full of cold light when placed here, Xiang Hui estimates that the point of light he just saw on it is the result of this sword being reflected by glass.

Xiang Hui tried to take the compass and the long sword from the woman's hand, but found that these two things seemed to be very important to the woman, no matter how hard Xiang Hui tried, he couldn't take them off without destroying the woman's corpse, just when Xiang Hui tried hard to take the compass off the woman's body, a slight chill suddenly stuck to Xiang Hui's throat, and Xiang Hui's eyes looked to the side along the sword across his neck.
I saw that the female corpse didn't know when she had opened her eyes, her eyes were staring at Xiang Hui coldly, and the long sword in her left hand was also across Xiang Hui's throat, the woman looked at Xiang Hui quietly and didn't speak, Xiang Hui raised her right hand and gently opened the sharp blade on her neck, Xiang Hui felt at the beginning that although this sword was very close to Xiang Hui's blood vessels, it was also very deadly, but the woman obviously didn't use any force, and she didn't mean to kill Xiang Hui.
Can we get acquainted?
For Xiang Hui's question, the woman didn't make any return, just gently withdrew her arm holding the long sword, and the corners of Xiang Hui's mouth curled.
Xiang Hui didn't care about the sand on the ground and sat next to the woman, and the woman didn't seem to move for a long time, her whole body was stiff or she didn't have the strength, except for the arm that had just been sent by Xiang Hui, Xiang Hui looked at the woman while talking about how she came to such a place, and the woman didn't say a word since she woke up.
When Xiang Hui finished telling the story, he looked at the woman who didn't say a word, and didn't know what to do.
I am hungry
.......?
The woman's ethereal voice with a little weakness made Xiang Hui stunned, and when she saw Xiang Hui looking at her blankly, the woman's eyes rolled; Is there anything to eat?
Xiang Hui came back to his senses, groped around his body in a panic, and awkwardly took out an alloy wine jug from his pocket, only wine, rum, the woman gently let go of the long sword in her hand Xiang Hui's wine jug, rum ........ Pirate.
Xiang Hui was embarrassed for a while, and he didn't care about Jack in the movie. No matter how charming Sparrow is, no matter how funny the pirates in this world are, pirates are not a good profession in this era, in the Ming Dynasty at this time, the status of pirates is the same as that of robbers, and because they do not attach importance to sea power, their status in the rivers and lakes is worse than that of robbers, only stronger than thieves.
And the robbers can get in touch with the government through various means after setting up a pole, and the pirates, because at this time, the Ming Dynasty was able to go to sea only low-level fishermen, officials and wealthy merchants, and the fishermen had no oil and water, so it is conceivable that the pirates in the Chinese region are specially picking those who are powerful or rich to rob, so it is easy for each other to hear a little contempt from the woman's almost undulating voice.
Xiang Hui sat beside the woman with a little embarrassment and watched the girl drink Xiang Hui's only remaining pot of wine after a few sips, then shook her head with a little regret, drank up a pot of wine, the woman seemed to regain some strength, sat up with difficulty, and finally began to speak.
This newly resurrected girl is named Dongfang Ying, as Xiang Hui expected, she is from the Song Dynasty, her age is beyond Xiang Hui's expectations, Dongfang Ying was born in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, at least according to her, Yang Yuhuan was still alive when she was twenty years old, these are not the point, the point is that this Dongfang Ying is the court physiognomist of the Tang Dynasty, specializing in divination of the stars for the imperial court, predicting wind and rain disasters, and selecting mausoleums for royal family members.
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, although Dongfang Ying received some involvement, but these people with special power are respected no matter which dynasty they are, even if there is a change of power, Dongfang Ying did not have much of a problem, until the end of the Song Dynasty, when the Song Dynasty was weak, seeing that the destruction of the country was imminent, and neither Mongolia nor Jin did not believe in the physiognomic set very much, they believed in shamans more, Dongfang Ying was very keenly aware of this, so he fled the country in advance, although the sea had not yet risen on a large scale at that time.
But there are still a lot of businessmen who came to China by boat to do business and secretly went to sea, so Dongfang Ying escaped from the Central Plains smoothly through the wealth he has accumulated over hundreds of years, but unfortunately, the ship was destroyed by a storm when it just sailed to the Indian Ocean, although Dongfang Ying had predicted it in advance through astrology and notified the captain, but the Spanish captain obviously didn't believe this, so there was no way, and a typhoon came that night.
In the face of the power of heaven and earth, even if Dongfang Ying has a lifespan of a hundred years, even if Dongfang Ying can predict the heavenly opportunity, he will not be spared, and then because he died in the sea, Dongfang Ying was sent here, but unlike other ignorant souls, Dongfang Ying, who has been in contact with metaphysics for hundreds of years, managed to leave the boat carrying her and came to this desert.
Like Xiang Hui's thoughts, in the face of the scorching sun, Dongfang Ying's method is to hide underground, although there is no means like Xiang Hui's hellfire, but Dongfang Ying made a big hole in the ground through some unique Chinese formations with the help of the power of the stars, this hut was found at which time, when Dongfang Ying tried his best to dig this cave in the desert, he found this hut.
At that time, there was no one in the house, but Dongfang Ying was different from Xiang Hui, she could see at a glance that the layout of this room was arranged according to the eight doors, although the technique was rough, but it had already touched the edge of Qimen Dunjia, and Dongfang Ying, who had nothing at that time, had no choice but to hide in this stone house, and then Dongfang Ying struggled to get the hole in the roof up, but then Dongfang Ying found that this stone house had no exit.
And the hole above the head was also filled, and Dongfang Ying, who was trapped here, had to accept the reality, theoretically speaking, Dongfang Ying was actually dead, so Dongfang Ying, who was a soul, spent nearly two hundred years in Li, during this period, Dongfang Ying successfully guessed that someone would find this place in the future through some tools left here by the original owner, and this person could take her away.
It took about two hundred years, and Dongfang Ying knew that he couldn't last that time, so he used some secret methods to put himself in a state of turtle breath suspended animation, and then with the help of the protection of the enclosed space, he successfully allowed himself to survive until now, before due to Xiang Hui's touch, this turtle breath state was triggered, and then Dongfang Ying broke away from suspended animation.
Xiang Hui looked this physiognomist up and down, but he didn't expect this girl to be quite legendary, although Dongfang Ying didn't elaborate, but Xiang Hui could also imagine that since this Dongfang Ying was able to maintain his power for two consecutive dynasties, and the same alchemy has only survived for hundreds of years, it can be seen that his metaphysical attainments are high, and Xiang Hui guessed that the ethereal temperament on Dongfang Ying is probably also the result of long-term stargazing.
Xiang Hui and Dongfang Ying rested in this hut, through communication, Xiang Hui found that this physiognomy master was really not covered, Xiang Hui was stunned for a moment when talking about various metaphysical expertise, and Dongfang Ying said that physiognomy masters of her level have completely broken away from the experience of their predecessors and the confinement of books and began to sum up their own experience, for example, she can predict the coming of a storm through a hint of breeze.
can also infer the upcoming earthquake, tsunami, volcanic eruption and other disasters through the change of any star in the sky, the gravitational anomaly, Xiang Hui was still very puzzled at that time, why as an ancient person, Dongfang Ying would know such a super-era technology as gravity, Dongfang Ying; How fresh, for thousands of years, the Central Plains has been able to emerge in the field of metaphysics for thousands of years, and it has long been known that the earth is round, and the stars in the sky are also round, such a conclusion.
It's just that Chinese metaphysics doesn't call this gravity, they call it the power of the stars, and even many of China's formations are operated by attracting the power of the stars, Xiang Hui was shocked at the time, the use of gravity even in the Kingdom of God is only a subject, and even the theory is not perfect, and now you tell me that gravity can already be used as a weapon in the Song Dynasty in China.
Just when Xiang Hui was shocked by the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people, Dongfang Ying sighed helplessly, because although this place is starry, there seems to be something blocking the entry of the power of the stars, and ten percent of the power of the stars can only come in, so here Dongfang Ying's power is equivalent to being imprisoned ninety percent, which is also the reason why Dongfang Ying has been trapped here for hundreds of years.
Otherwise, with the formation mastered by this girl, this desert would have been blown to pieces, and at that time, such a sentence popped out of the mouth of Dongfang Ying, who had an ethereal temperament, made Xiang Hui stunned for a long time before he reacted, don't look at this Dongfang Ying looks extremely cold, but the internal force is the character of a sister, and after getting acquainted with Xiang Hui, he will be a girl and an aunt.
