"Shall I go with you too?" Uncle Yang said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"No need, Shujun, you can stay here." Master said.
I said in my heart, Uncle Yang is no longer what it used to be, he followed us over, maybe there will be some unexpected discoveries or gains, but if he stays here, he can help Xiangfeng and protect everyone's safety. Ling Jitian, Yu Xin, and Morning Star, although they all have some skills, they don't know how to do magic. Right now, this place feels weird, maybe there's something unclean... Having said that, Uncle Yang now has Gao Qien's ability, but I haven't seen how big this ability is, and maybe even Uncle Yang himself doesn't know, according to what he said, the 'recovery' of Gao Qien's memory in his body was when he clashed with Wanjin Mountain, and it didn't take long...
Uncle Yang smiled and glanced at me, "That's okay, then I won't go." ”
"Xiao Leng..."Old Man Yang took out his gun, "Otherwise, you can bring this gun." ”
"No, you take it, if there is any emergency, you shoot, and we will rush back immediately."
Old Man Yang thought about it and put the gun away, "It's okay." ”
"Stay safe." Morningstar said.
"Hmm."
I smiled and looked at Yu Xin, who didn't say anything, only had concern in her eyes. I said in my heart, Yu Xin never knew that on the way back from Sichuan, the reason why there would be a lot of inspections was that her 'father' was secretly making a hindrance, and there should be a showdown, there will always be a showdown, if Yuxin's father brings someone to appear here, it should be the time for a showdown...
The Master gave them another advice, and then we took the wizard and walked down, each step very carefully, and the Master and I looked around, intently sensing everything around us.
At last we came down the hill, through the trees, and after another walk, we came to the col where the village had been. As far as the eye can see, there is no trace of the building. I can't believe that the village we visited last year has disappeared without even a trace. Thinking of Ling Jitian's building, I knew that this village was actually still here, but it didn't belong to the same space as us, so it couldn't be seen with the naked eye...
The wizard didn't know why we were bringing him here, and looked nervous.
"Hey..."
I called out to him, and the wizard was startled and looked at me.
"You don't have to be afraid..."
I thought to myself, how can we make him understand the purpose of bringing him here? Scratching my head and thinking about it, I pointed at him, then at myself, my hand went around, I covered my chest, took a deep breath, closed my eyes, frowned and made a contemplative look. After a while, I opened my eyes and gestured for the wizard to do what I had just done, and he was stunned for a moment, but finally understood, and also made circles with his hands, then inhaled, closed his eyes, and meditated...
When he finally opened his eyes, I asked eagerly, "Well, did you sense anything?" ”
The wizard looked at me blankly. I did it again, pointing around and asking him again.
"Ahh
The wizard seemed to understand, and his eyes looked eagerly around.
"Did you sense something?" I asked hurriedly.
This wizard hunched over and sniffed with his nose, my heart was pounding, what did this person sense? … The wizard sniffed and walked forward, and Master and I followed him, and after a few steps, he suddenly squatted on the ground, put his hand under a stone, and pulled out a dead mouse...
"Wow wow..."
The wizard carried the tail of the dead rat and flung it at us with joy. Master and I looked at each other, and we couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that he smelled the smell of dead mice, and this man's nose was quite smart. Looking at him carrying a mouse, stupid and stupid, I said to myself, Master, are they wrong? Is this person a wizard or not, and does he understand what kind of witchcraft spell it is? …
We have been here for a while, and no one has come out, looking at the top of the mountain, due to the obstruction of the trees, we can't see Uncle Yang and them, but since there is no movement, it means that they are not in danger.
"Master, are we wrong, Yuxin's father's old fox didn't come over?"
The Master shook his head and looked at the mouse in the wizard's hand.
"Hey..."
I held out my hand, and the wizard jumped up to me and handed me the mouse. When I mentioned it, it was an ordinary mountain mouse, skinny, with no external injuries on its body, it died somehow, sniffed with its nose, it had a slight rancid smell, and it felt like it had not been long dead.
"How did this rat die here?"
I looked at Master, who stared at the mouse in my hand, stunned.
"I think," Master said, "something might have happened here..."
"What's going on?" My eyes swept around.
"Let's go, let's take a look around..."
Throwing away the rats, we walked back and forth in this col and found nothing more. Came to a relatively secluded place, and the three of them squatted together.
"Master," I mused, "according to ten thousand gold... Uncle Wan said that when he lived in this village, Yang Deqiang told him that some people from outside the mountain had come and told the hunchbacked old man in the village, the 'Fifth Grandfather', to help them dissolve the curse, that is, the kind of curse that the villagers become evil after death, and then, according to the instructions of the outsiders, the Fifth Grandfather gathered the villagers together, gave each of them a strange talisman, and ordered them to take it home, burn it to ashes, and mix it in water to drink. Then, the fifth grandfather arranged for people to nail wooden stakes in various places outside the village... When the fifth grandfather was dying, he realized that he had been deceived, and in his eagerness, he didn't know what to do, so he only told the villagers to prepare more water and food, and then he died..."
"Hmm." Master said.
"When the fifth grandfather died, Uncle Wan was in this village, and after listening to Yang Deqiang tell the last words of the fifth grandfather, he felt that something big was going to happen in this village... The following day, he witnessed the disappearance of the village, and he said that he saw a cloud float out and envelop the whole village, and when the cloud dispersed, the village was gone. While he was startling, another cloud came towards him, and then he ran away, all the way to that mysterious valley, where he hid until we found him..."
"Yes, that's what he said."
"When we came, we didn't see any stakes nailed to the top of the hill. It seems that after Uncle Wan ran away, someone removed the stakes. The people who removed the stakes should be those 'outsiders'. What is the origin of those people, whether they are with Yuxin's father or not, I don't care for the time being. I was just wondering why they had made this village, along with the villagers, disappear. If you want to kill someone, you don't have to be so troublesome, this village is so hidden, few outsiders come, whether you use natural means such as poisoning, or use supernatural means to kill these villagers, it will be a long time before they will be discovered, and there is no proof of death, and it is impossible to find out who did it. So, if their purpose is to starve these villagers to death in another dimension, there's no need..."
Master nodded, "You're right..."
"I thought of Uncle Ling's story when he was in the land of Ran Min, Uncle Ling said that although the rest of the Yang family members who had conflicts with Ran Min because of the sacred relics of the Ran clan finally escaped, their physique underwent subtle changes and was passed on to future generations. Through them, one can obtain a Ran Witch Charm that summons mysterious powers. So I think that the reason why these Yang family members were brought to another dimension at the moment may be related to that kind of witch spell, because they were brought over from Sichuan by Gao Qien back then, the descendants of those people. ”
"How do you know they're descended from those people?" Master asked.
"It's Uncle Yang... I was asked, "It was Uncle Yang and I who analyzed..."
"It doesn't matter if they are descendants of those people, and why they were brought to another dimension by someone..."The Master looked at his watch, "Let's test first to see how they are and if they are still alive." ”
"Master, how do you measure this?" I asked.
"Take out that special Qimen turntable from your bag..."
When we usually start the game, we use the method of dismantling and repairing the palace, and put the wooden cards engraved with the gods of the star gate into the nine-square grid. A friend asked me what the nine-square grid is.,It feels like it's in metaphysics.,A very mysterious thing.,In fact, it's the nine-square grid like our usual mobile phone nine-square grid input method.。 According to the time, the stars, each door, each stem, each god, in order, are arranged into nine grids, according to their respective symbols, corresponding things, and the relationship between life and gram, to divination, which is the nine palaces in the Qi Gate to dismantle and repair the palace divination. Generally, we use this, or we use Faqimen, and rarely use turntables. The so-called turntable is not a compass, but a special heavenly disk, a ground disk, a human disk, a god disk, and four wooden disks, which are assembled together. The territory is the largest, and at the bottom, it is engraved the acquired Bagua (the eight directions of the earth). One layer up is the heavenly disk, on which are engraved nine stars (in the sky). Further up is the human plate, engraved with eight doors (people enter and exit through the door, so it is called a human plate). The upper part of the human plate is the god plate, and the eight gods are engraved on it (this does not need to be explained). These four disks, except for the ground will not move (the eight directions are fixed), the remaining three disks can be rotated, so they are called turntables. The appearance of this turntable made by Master out of a wooden plate is a bit like a layered birthday cake...
I took the turntable out and handed it to the master, who stared straight at it.
"Master, can you use the turntable to tell the current situation of those villagers?" I asked.
"Of course not, if you want to use the Faqi Gate, follow me..."
I followed Master to a place in the middle of this col, and the wizard followed me. Master stopped, looked around, pinched his fingers and calculated, took two steps to the left, then took three steps forward, and then took one step to the right, after he was settled, the master stepped on it hard, moved his feet, and put the plate on the footprints, so that the gossip engraved on the ground corresponded to the eight directions, and the master turned the three plates on it, and adjusted the whole plate to the mode of the original disk...
"Leng'er, you stand here, wait for me to cast a spell, this plate will tell you the current situation of those villagers..."
