426 Self-inflicted

Shen Qing was very punctual, and when she knocked on the door, it was exactly five o'clock.

I led her to my room, made two cups of tea, and worked on two star maps with her.

"Last night's guess should be correct," she said, "and today we should collect those pearls first, you see, this formation requires forty-nine objects representing the stars, and only pearls, agate, celestial star stones, etc. I have been refining these six pills for more than 90 years, and those in the 4D Backbone have been refining for more than 100 years, is it a coincidence? ”

"You mean, your great-grandfather arranged it?" I glanced at her.

"Yes, otherwise I can't find any other explanation," she said, "and grandfather said that these six were used for sealing, isn't that clear enough?" ”

"There's one thing I don't quite understand," I took a sip of tea, "Your six Night Pearls are very similar to those Seven Night Pearls in the Fourth Dimensional Backbone, they should have been obtained by the Shen family at the same time, why have they only been refined for more than ninety years?" ”

"It's our secret," she looked at me, "and it doesn't matter, does it?" ”

"I know," I smiled helplessly, "in that case, let's take a look at this picture." ”

"Good!" She took the star qi map and pointed at it, "Look, there is a secret charm on it, but I don't know if it's used for arraying." ”

"It should be", I put down my cup, "I can cultivate this secret talisman, the key is the method of arranging the formation, this is the most important thing." ”

She shrugged her shoulders, "I can't do anything, I can only rely on you, I've watched it many times, and I don't have a clue at all." ”

I took the star qi map, pretended to look at it deeply for a long time, and came to the conclusion that if I wanted to find a way to arrange the formation from this map, it was basically a fantasy. But I can't say this directly, I can't make her feel that I used our Lin family's secret technique to crack the Great Nebula Array for her.

After watching it for more than ten minutes, I slapped my thigh, "I see, that's what happened!" ”

"What's going on?" She hurriedly asked.

I looked at her, "Secret, I can't say it, I just know it." ”

"You!" Her eyes widened, "But I don't know yet!" ”

"Then I don't know a lot about your family's secrets, don't I force you", I rolled up the star energy map, "You don't need to know this twice, one person understands, and it is enough to be able to do things." ”

"No, I've been studying the star qi map for so many years, and I finally found the real map and cracked the secret, how can you not tell me?" She looked at me stubbornly.

"Then you may not understand what I said", I looked at her innocently, "Why waste time?" ”

She sneered, "You don't want this great nebula array to be learned by the Americans, do you?" You're going to leave it in China, aren't you? Is this what you're thinking? ”

I shook my head, "It's that you're thinking too much." ”

"I'll tell you Lin Zhuo, I must know this secret, you have no choice", she stared at me, "This is not a negotiation, this is a request!" I paid you not only to seal the Nine Songs Ruyi, but also to help me crack the Star Qi Diagram, as a descendant of a feng shui family, you can't break your trust with me! ”

I smiled and looked at her curiously, "Sister, I don't understand, when did I promise to help you crack it?" And...... Who said that a family heir can't be discredited? Besides, is this a breach of trust? ”

"I don't want to quarrel with you, you tell me, how to set up!" She was excited.

I stopped laughing, "Shen Qing, you really just want to learn this secret?" Or are you afraid that I won't be able to get out, and no one will know this secret from now on? ”

She dodged my gaze, "I don't know what you're talking about, what can't get out, if you can't get out, then what about me?" ”

"You are from the Shen family......" I said meaningfully.

She was silent, leaning back on the sofa and looking out the window, her expression a little complicated.

"I'll tell you when we're done," I said lightly, "Put the map away, let's pack it up and get ready to go." ”

"You think I have a conspiracy that will harm you and make it impossible for you to get out of that basement", she said quietly, "I thought we were friends and you could trust me, but now I understand that it was all my own doing, and you have always been on guard against me, and have never changed." ”

"Miss Shen is serious", I said lukewarmly, "I am a feng shui master, I take money to do things, and I dare not talk about any friendship with the client before the matter is resolved, so as not to affect rational judgment and delay other people's major affairs." ”

"Really? yousoprofessional? Her eyes were cold.

"It's not that I don't see you as a friend", I looked directly at her, "It's just that there are too many secrets hidden, I respect you and don't ask, it's okay." But you hide all the secrets related to your errands, does that mean that you regard me as a friend? When it comes to precautions, it seems that you have been doing this to me, and I am just doing what I do as a feng shui master. ”

It's been cold for a long time.

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I won't ask, when we can come out safely, you can be sure that you can treat me as a friend, I am learning from you." You said before that we have to enter the third layer of the secret room first, seal the Nine Songs Ruyi, and then arrange the formations in turn until we come out, do you need any objects? ”

I thought about it for a while, "Actually, I was a little worried about my previous thoughts, with this big nebula array, other formations may be saved." According to legend, the sealing power of this formation is extremely powerful, once it is formed, it will be shrouded in its aura within a radius of several miles, and there must be no tombs or spirits on this mountain, otherwise it will be imprisoned. Back then, the old dragon head didn't use this formation, presumably because he couldn't crack its secret, otherwise, we wouldn't have to bother with it today. ”

She looked at me, "In that case, let's go get some food and let's go." ”

"How much rune water do you have?" I had an idea.

"And a lot more, what's wrong?"

"You drink another bottle, give me the rest, I'll be useful."

"Can you drink it this time?"

"I don't drink it, I'm of other use", I said.

She was puzzled, "What is that for?" ”

"Don't ask, open your boxes and give them to me now", I said firmly.

Without asking any more questions, she put the box on the table and opened it, took out the talisman water and drank a bottle of it herself, then took out the remaining nine bottles and put them on the table.

"Okay, you go back first, I'll pack up and we'll go."

"Hmm", she stood up, "then I'll wait for you outside the door, and then we'll go to breakfast together." ”

"Okay," I smiled faintly, "I'll see you later." ”

After she left, I called Zhou Yan over, "You find a mineral water bottle, gather these runes together, and seal the Iron Man Stone Horse, if you find that the aura around you is not strong enough, pour this rune water onto the tomb." ”

"Hmm", she looked at the rune water, "what's the use of this?" ”

"This is what Shen Qing has been drinking, it is a talisman made from a mysterious jade talisman and the Nine Dragons Hanyue Cup, which can not only detoxify voodoo, but also activate the formation in the Iron General's Tomb. I always feel that there should be some special relationship between the tomb of the Iron General and the basement, and I don't know what will happen, so you can do as I tell you. ”

"Okay, I remember!" Zhou Yan looked at me, "Brother, you must be careful, I will wait for you at the top of the mountain." ”

I smiled, "Don't worry, your brother's suffering is not over yet, and it will be fine." ”

She sighed and hugged me gently, "Don't say that, it's distressing......"

I patted her on the back, "Liezi has clouds, you can be born and lived, and you can be blessed, you can die and die, and you can be blessed...... Blessings and misfortunes are born together, and how much suffering you can suffer, how much blessing you can enjoy. ”

She nodded, "Brother, let's go, when we're done, let's go on a trip!" ”

More than an hour later, Shen Qing and I came to the secret passage again, no matter what the result was, this was the last time. She seemed a little nervous, and instinctively grabbed my hand, "Lin Zhuo, we can succeed, right?" ”

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven", I said softly, "if the heavens do not stop you and me, it will surely bless us to come out smoothly." ”

"But what if the day you said it wouldn't bless the Shen family?" She smiled bitterly.

"If that's the case, then you just accept your fate," I laughed, "Okay, don't you Americans take it easy when you take risks?" What's wrong with you today, why aren't you confident? ”

"When you're dealing with another person, you just need to know your strengths to find confidence; When you face life, you only need to know your place to find self-confidence; But when you face fate, no matter how many advantages you have, no matter how high your position is, you are so small in front of it...... I can't even find myself, so what kind of self-confidence can I talk about? The self-confidence is gone, and there are only two choices left, either awe or confusion......" she took a deep breath, "I have never been like this, and now I am in awe and confused, I don't know what to do to make myself feel at ease, because I am not only a person's mission, it is the future of a family, so ...... I'm a little scared. ”

I grabbed her shoulder, "Peace of mind is happiness, restlessness is motivation, isn't it just a nine-song wishful, it's not a big deal, go, go in with my brother, seal it!" ”

Shen Qing took a deep breath, "God bless!" ”

With the foundation of the first two times, we came to the secret room of the backbone of the fourth dimension smoothly, and it should be said that this basement was not so dangerous before touching the treasure room mechanism.

The night pearls on the table and on the ground were still there, so I asked Shen Qing to pick them up, and I walked to the Nanmu cabinet and looked at them seriously.

"Do you want to take the book inside?" As she picked up the pearls, she said, "Whatever, I'll give you whatever you like." ”

"You're so generous, these are treasures, you can sell them for a good price," I said.

"If the Shen family is reduced to the point where they need to sell these classics to make money, then it won't be interesting", she smiled, "Anyway, I'm going to take something from the basement as a gift for you, you can choose it yourself." ”

"Thank you, Miss Shen, I don't have to do it, I understand it", I smiled faintly, "The pearls are almost picked up, right?" ”

"That's it!" She stood up, "Just move the table away." ”

"You wait!" I called out to her and looked at both sides, "The table can't move, the secret passage is not under it, it's on the opposite side!" ”
