Chapter Twenty-Three: Magnetism

"The 'magnetic evil' is one of the 'seven evils' of Feng Shui, and the inauspicious magnetic nodes formed by magnetic fields can affect the body's bioelectricity, but it is very rare for the soul to be controlled by it and not be able to escape for thousands of years, unless," Professor Kwan explained.

"Unless what?" Secretary Xing asked.

"The feng shui dilemma carefully set by someone locked the souls of those monks in the ruins of Qingyuan Temple."

I have a vague sense of uneasiness in my conscience, my yin eyes can see those dead monks, Secretary Xing is a wriggled barbarian, and Ke'er herself is a ghost, these are easy to understand. However, the investigation team and experts mentioned by Erya, Professor Guan and Wang Laohan are ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to see the souls of monks and hear the sound of chanting. If Er Ya inhaled the air mass in the witch cicada's jade, then what about Professor Guan? Isn't he an ordinary person?

"Professor Guan, you are a painter, how do you know everything about Feng Shui?" At this moment, Secretary Xing preemptively raised questions.

Professor Guan smiled slightly: "It's just a personal hobby." ”

"What Feng Shui Bureau?" Er Ya asked puzzled.

"This is exactly what bothers me," Professor Guan muttered, "It is said that it is recorded in the ancient book "Shiben" that Fuxi made the qin, Nuwa made the sheng spring, did not create the chime, hung the bell with the pole, and Shun Xiao Kuile Wu Xian drum. Qingyuan Temple should be accompanied by the sound of chanting, but why is it the ancient sound of leather drums? ”

The crowd looked at him silently.

"Legend has it that Wu Xian is the inventor of the 'leather drum', he is not only a famous doctor in ancient times, but also the originator of the ancient feng shui Zhu Youshu, the history books record his witch spell 'wish the tree and tree to wither, wish the bird and bird to fall', it is really unpredictable." Professor Kwan said.

How can these ignorant superstitious legends be believed? It completely violated Marx's historical materialism and fell into the quagmire of Kant's idealism. "Secretary Xing is energetic again.

Professor Guan ignored him and continued: "Wu Xian created the magic of Zhuyou, among which the 'Ten Witches of the Dragon's Drum and Ten Witches' is a feng shui puzzle that specializes in locking the soul and sleepy, but it has long been lost. ”

"Did we hear the drums?" Erya asked curiously.

"Very likely."

"And what are the 'Ten Witches'?"

"'Wu' is the ancient wizard, Wu in the primitive witch government era is a politician, scientist, military strategist, literary artist and medical family chieftain of the clan, at that time Wu Xian country ten famous witch, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Wu Luo, the head of the ten witches is Wu Xian." Professor Kwan explained.

"The monk is gone." Kerr said quietly.

Everyone's eyes looked, the monks and chanting voices in the ruins of Qingyuan Temple have disappeared, at this moment the moonlight is like water, the mountain breeze is blowing, and there are only a few remnants of mantis and crickets in the ears.

"Where did they go?" Erya muttered to herself.

"The hour must have passed." Professor Kwan looked at his watch.

Arira walked around the ruins alone, carefully searching among the barren grass and basil, hoping to find some clues to the tomb of the Medicine King, but after looking at it for a long time, he still found nothing.

"Brother Youliang, what are you looking for?" Erya walked over and asked.

"Those monks," Aura mused, "have you seen a tomb or a secret tunnel or anything like that in your dreams?" ”

Erya patted her head and recalled: "It seems that there is something else, but I can't remember." ”

"Think again." Arirashi encouraged.

Under the moonlight, Erya thought hard, and shook her head after the last moment.

"I can help you remember." Professor Guan said suddenly behind him, startling Erya.

Arira looked at him suspiciously.

"Hypnosis can unearth your subconscious memories, would you like to try it?"

Erya looked over and nodded.

"Okay, I do."

Professor Guan and Erya meditated cross-legged on the ground, and then said, "Look into my eyes." ”

Youliang stood behind Erya, staring at Professor Guan with dark eyes, and deep down he always felt that something was not quite right with this person.

"Relax and breathe, I have two bright stars in my eyes, do you see that?" Professor Kwan asked softly.

There are good yin eyes, where are the stars?

"See, it's so bright, so beautiful." The second girl muttered.

"Your arms are heavy and your eyelids are heavy"

"I'm sleepy," Erya yawned and closed her eyelids.

"Two bright stars are on the yellow roof of Qingliang Temple, and a few monks in the temple are walking slowly, hearing the low beat of drums and chanting." Professor Kwan continued to induce.

Arira also yawned involuntarily, and a wave of tiredness hit.

"You count, how many monks are there?"

"There are seven first, second, third, and fourth."

"Very well, what are they doing?"

"They're spitting into the moonlight."

"Yes, the monk is sucking Yuehua, and now he is ready to go back, would you like to go with them?" A faint smile appeared on Professor Guan's face.

"The monks probably won't be willing to take me with them."

"It's okay, you can just follow quietly and don't let them find out."

"Okay then." Erya agreed, and stood up with her eyes closed.

"Keep up." Professor Guan urged.

Erya walked slowly towards the foot of the mountain with mechanical steps, Professor Guan followed gently, and at this moment Arira also seemed to be under the influence of hypnosis, and stood in place in a daze as if frozen.

Secretary Xing came over and pushed him: "What's wrong with you, stupid?" ”

Youliang suddenly shook Ling'er, suddenly came to his senses, and saw that Erya and Professor Guan had already walked a distance, so he hurriedly caught up, and Secretary Xing and Ke'er followed.

In the factory, Sun Yifeng and Li Lin also saw the looming figures of several monks under the moonlight, and the two looked at each other, and they could see at a glance that it was a wandering soul.

"It seems that Gongchuan is hiding a lot of secrets." Sun Yifeng muttered to himself.

"Look, they're going up the mountain." Li Lin said softly.

"Well, we're going to keep an eye on it," Sun Yifeng unzipped, released Mei Niang and her kitten, and commanded, "Mei Niang, you are secretly tracking them." ”

"Meow." Mei Niang answered, and then limped to lead the black cats out of the city, and Sun Yifeng and the two also quietly followed.

Of course, all this did not escape Liu Shisan's yin eyes, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, it turned out that this kid Youliang actually ran here, no wonder he was never found. It seems that Sun Yifeng and Li Lin have been tracking Erya, but who are the other three? The person who secretly helped him has not yet appeared.

Liu 13 picked up the worn-out backpack and chased it all the way.

Erya still did not stop, and was already far away from the ruins of Qingyuan Temple, and began to climb the mountain along the rugged and winding path.

"Hasn't the monk stopped yet?" Professor Guan asked softly in Erya's ear.

"They were in front of me, and they turned around and smiled at me." Er Ya Mechanic's answer.

"Okay, keep up." Professor Kwan encouraged.

Everyone followed forward, and no one noticed that not far behind them, they quietly followed Mei Niang's litter of black cats.

Turning over the mountains, in front of you is an endless black and swarthy pine forest, the moonlight is obscured by pine branches, the dim forest looks a little eerie, and the air is full of pine resin and moss. After walking for about half an hour, Erya finally stopped.

"How?" Professor Guan asked eagerly.

"They're gone." Erya replied.

Professor Guan hurriedly searched around, and finally found that there was a crack in the cliff under the shade of the Bashan pine, the size of which was barely enough for a person to pass sideways, and there was a human-tall basil growing in front of it, which was very secretive.

Professor Guan muttered and said: "They must have entered from here, but if someone lays out the 'Ten Witches of Dragons and Drums', it should be on the site of Qingyuan Temple, how can it be a few miles away?" ”

Without Professor Guan's instructions, Erya stood in place, her eyes still closed.

"Follow them in." Professor Guan looked back at the way he came, and then said with determination.

Secretary Xing and Ke'er smiled at each other, they have lived in the navel for many years, they are no strangers to mountain cracks, and even feel a sense of intimacy.

And Youliang watched silently without saying a word, the appearance of this Professor Guan is too strange, this person must have some kind of purpose, yesterday's chance encounter on the side of the Gongchuan Highway was definitely arranged in advance, but how did he know that he was coming to the Gongchuan Qingyuan Temple?

Arara felt as if he had fallen into some kind of trap.

Everyone squeezed into the stone gap, and the corridor inside was pitch black, and the second girl closed her eyes as if she was walking on the ground, without the slightest bump. Youliang's yin eyes can see the road under his feet clearly, not to mention Secretary Xing and Ke'er, what is strange is that Professor Guan can also see things in the dark, which is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.

At the entrance of the cave, Sun Yifeng and Li Lin stopped and hesitated whether to follow up, "Meow" Mei Niang urged softly.

"Lao Bai wants us to monitor them, if they don't enter the hole, they will be out of sight, Li Lin, be ready at any time, in case they are discovered, they are still sure to clean up these people." Sun Yifeng whispered.

Li Lin nodded, and the two of them followed Mei Niang and they also squeezed in sideways.

Suddenly, Liu Thirteen also cautiously followed in.

The Qinling Mountains are an east-west trending mountain range with a peculiar geological structure in China, and have always been the dividing line between the north and the south. The northern foot of the mountain is high and steep, the river stream is deeply cut, the vertical change is obvious, the forest vegetation is abundant, and there are many grottoes and caves and dark rivers underground.

Er Ya walked along the stone road in front, the rest of the people followed unhurriedly, the air in the cave was humid, the foot slip was greasy, there were many forks and serial caves on both sides, as if it was an underground labyrinth, if there was no monk soul to lead, it would definitely be lost in it and not be able to get out.

I don't know how long I walked around like this, and suddenly the front opened up, and a spacious stone hall appeared in front of me.

There was a faint fluorescent light on the top of the cave, which turned out to be a huge fluorite inlaid in the rock wall, emitting a faint green light. The fluorescent beam shines vertically on the top of the head of a stone statue on the ground, and you can distinguish the hair-tied bun with delicate facial features, and the forehead is full of eyes, about ten pairs, looking at different directions, her hands are holding a stone sieve, which is full of dense small holes, the carving is simple, and it seems that the age is very old.

"This is Wu Pan, one of the ten witches." Professor Kwan said.
