Chapter 32: The Ghost Mist
Looking back, Liu Gen saw a fog, and was slowly surrounding him, secretly screaming in his heart, this fog is too strange, it shouldn't be foggy weather, it seems that he still underestimated the "Monster Array". If this fog engulfs the road in front of you, then these drawings and lines you draw will be useless, and you will still be trapped in it.
But with a little luck in my heart, this fog is just a trick, I stand still, don't mess around, if it's a trick, it won't last long, and after a while the fog will dissipate, I will continue to follow the drawings and can't do it. Thinking like this, Liu Gen leaned his back against a large rock beside him, and began to pay attention to the movements around him vigilantly, in case there were any attacks.
"Uncle, uncle"
Liu Gen heard the cry of the ghost for a long time, and turned on the spot to find the source of the sound.
"Uncle, uncle"
It was indeed Xiao Jiu's voice, Liu Gen was a little surprised, although his hypnosis technique was not outstanding, but the stone hypnosis method was absolutely no problem to control others to sleep for 12 hours, and before the hour, he couldn't use any method to wake up the hypnotized person. Why did Xiao Jiu come along?
"Uncle~" Xiao Jiu's voice came clearly from the right hand, not a few meters away. But since the fog had swept over, there was no figure in sight.
Liu Gen was worried that Xiao Jiu would get lost from here, so he wanted to go out. Thinking in his heart, Xiao Jiu was a few meters away on his right hand, and he moved over, remembering to take a few steps, and then took Xiao Jiu back to the original place, so that he could still follow the drawings.
Just do it, Liu Gen whispered: "Xiao Jiu, you stand still and don't move, I'll go over to pick you up"
One-step, two-step, three-step, four-step...... Fifteen steps, sixteen steps, a cold sweat broke out on Liu Gen's head.
"Xiao Jiu, where are you?" Liu Gen called again.
"Uncle, uncle" Xiao Jiu's voice came from the front again.
"Didn't I tell you not to move!" Liu Gen was a little anxious.
There is no way, you can't see death without help, not to mention that Xiao Jiu is his own heir, Liu Gen made a note of the changed route in his mind, and then began to move towards the source of the sound.
After walking for seven steps, and not seeing Xiao Jiu, Liu Gen became more and more anxious.
"Uncle, uncle" The voice came from behind again.
"Xiao Jiu, it's foggy here, don't walk around, just stand there and wait for me" Liu Gen was both worried and angry this time, why was this kid disobedient!
Following the sound of the past, this time I saw Xiao Jiu's back. A blue cloth tunic and black linen pants, this general outline is enough for Liu Gen to confirm that this person is Xiao Jiu. 09 years, no one wears this kind of thing anymore, but Xiao Jiu has worn this outfit for many years, Xiao Jiu's statement is: There is a change of clothes can be, there is no need to have many, often wear a piece of clothing and walk activities are handy, because you are already familiar with every inch of clothes, people and things are integrated, you will better feel the danger of the outside world, and you can concentrate more on thinking about problems. Although this statement sounds a little strange, there is nothing to refute, after all, frugality is never a bad thing.
Liu Gen quickened his pace and ran towards Xiao Jiu, but the mist became thicker and thicker, and Xiao Jiu's figure became more and more blurred.
I've run more than 20 meters, why haven't I reached the position where Xiao Jiu is standing? Liu Gen looked ahead, and Xiao Jiu's vague figure should have kept the original distance from himself. Liu Gen felt a chill in his heart, could he have been deceived? Thinking of this, Liu Gen suddenly realized that he had deviated from the route on the drawings. When I look up again, there is still a small long figure!
Liu Gen recalled a detail, when Xiao Jiu was calling "uncle" just now, although his voice was Xiao Jiu's, his tone was a little sluggish, which was the feeling of being tangible but godless. I didn't think much about it just now, but now I suddenly realized that I was imperceptibly hypnotized! What I just saw was an illusion.
After a moment of composure, Liu Gen began to recall the order of the seven turns and eight turns just now, and then groped his way back to the place where the fog was raised. Feeling a little dizzy, his body leaned towards a big stone next to him, "Gu Dong" Liu Gen actually fell to the ground, he clearly remembered that he had leaned on this big stone before, why was it all of a sudden?
The boulder was more than two people high, no less than 3 meters wide, and weighed at least a dozen tons, so it was impossible for someone to move it so quickly. There is only one possibility, you are on the wrong path!
When chasing Xiaojiu just now, although I tossed a few back and forth, with my memory and experience, I would not be unable to remember. So what is the reason exactly? Liu Gen sat on the ground and pondered, since hypnosis can make people hallucinate, is the route he just took also an illusion, if so, then the route he really walked will be found.
The more Liu Gen thought about it, the more afraid he became, could it be that he was trapped in a stone like this, and the "careful layout" he had designed for most of his life was left to fend for itself? As a descendant of the Liu family, if he didn't complete that seemingly ridiculous plan in this life, the next generation would definitely not do it again, and the two sons didn't learn feng shui at all, and they all had their own advantages. Although Xiao Jiu has obtained his true inheritance, this child is too kind-hearted, and it is difficult to say whether he can grasp the state of mind between right and wrong, besides, if he dies in it, how can Xiao Jiu know this secret.
Liu Gen was very depressed in his heart, and suddenly felt that he was really old, and he had never felt before. Even if I am already 70 years old, my actual physical age is more than 40 because of the practice of family teachings. But at this moment, when the pillar in his heart, the great dream, saw that he had an eyebrow, but he gave up all his previous efforts, and Liu Gen's psychological age still couldn't bear this reality.
The fog around me slowly receded, and it was already dark, but the outlines of the surrounding stones could still be seen. Liu Gen looked around again, the surrounding scenery is definitely not the place he walked when he came, even the style of the stone is different, the previous stone is a little round, but the stone here is very hideous, the shape is strange, the edges and corners are sharp.
It seems that he is really far away from the same place.
Liu Gen knew the history of the "Dragons Array", if he didn't see through the formation outside, it would be difficult to get out once he entered the inside, and it was recorded in the book that no one could break this formation inside the formation. But the book never explains where the harm of this formation is. Liu Gen was still contemptuous when he was halfway through, thinking that the book recorded exaggerated facts, which was just a confusing layout made by using natural stones and quietly altering, but it only took advantage of people's memory fatigue, causing people to have an illusion, and they kept going around in circles until they died of exhaustion or starvation.
The formation will be foggy out of thin air, which is definitely a bit unbelievable, fog generation must have objective conditions, whether it is mixed fog, advection fog, evaporation fog, radiation fog or pollution caused by smoke fog, there must be a necessary condition, that is, humidity and water vapor. And this rocky area is drier than anywhere else, and it is not a low-lying place, but a high hill, and there is a wind tonight, although not much, but it is enough to destroy the formation of fog. "Fu Jiangnan Manuscript"
What's even more strange is that the fog came without warning, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be controlled by a machine switch.
As an ancient Chinese metaphysical culture, although the formation technique is said to be miraculous, it will never be divorced from reality, let alone create something out of nothing, and all changes are based on it. However, how to explain that this fog appeared out of thin air today?
As for being hypnotized by the formation, Liu Gen didn't think it was strange, although he couldn't learn his grandfather's illusion that could control people's dreams, he also learned some practical hypnotic techniques with his father, so he knew very well about the hypnotic effect. I was hypnotized by the formation, and I was inseparable from the sound of "uncle" of "Xiao Jiu", coupled with the route I was guided to take, and the high tension of my nerves, which has constituted a necessary element of hypnosis. Thinking of this, Liu Gen became even more scared, since these are the elements that constitute hypnosis, it is not an illusion, because the elements cannot become an illusion, then the few times he was led away was not an illusion as he thought before. However, if it is not a hallucination, it means that you are not hypnotized, so how can you explain that the route of returning to the original place according to memory is wrong? How to explain the figure and voice of "Xiao Jiu"?
Could it be that there are ghosts or people in this array?
The more Liu Gen thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and the more he thought about it, the more furious he became. Although I have never seen a ghost myself, and I am confident that I am not afraid of ghosts, if a ghost can put itself to death, isn't it scary enough? What is more terrible than death, and when you die, you still talk about ideals and accomplish the "great cause".
But it is unlikely that there are people in this array, because if there are people, it is easy to put Liu Gen to death, and any random dark arrow will kill someone.
If this array doesn't exist to kill people, then why is it designed to trap the dead? If you want to kill someone, there is no need to go through such a big trouble and set a trap on the road you want to pass, and put a sharp knife in the trap, so that the comer will not be able to guard against it at all. And the master of the array does not do this, so what does that mean? "Fu Jiangnan Manuscript"
So is it possible that this array has no owner? This is a possibility, but it is unlikely. The reason is that the existence of each formation must be appropriately adjusted according to the different times, especially this Qimen formation, which is inseparable from the factor of time, Xingyao, the sexagenary branch is an indispensable factor in the formation of the formation, time is changing, Xingyao is changing, and the key parts of the formation must be appropriately adjusted according to the change of time to maintain the best effect.
And today's formation, Liu Gen can see that it is definitely a living one, and the so-called living one is that the formation and the opportunity of heaven and earth are seamlessly combined. That proves that someone is taking care of this formation, and it is not necessary for someone to stay here, but to adjust the error between the formation and the time every few days or a month.
If you don't want to stop people, if you don't kill people, then there is only one possibility - to arrest people!
