Chapter 15 Formation
The people went out of the valley and rushed to Yishan County by water.
The green scale female python is very powerful in the water, in order to prevent it from sneaking attack, Ji Cunyan wrapped the ink wire in his hand around the boat, and hung a bell on the ink line.
After winding the ink line, Ji Cunyan wiped the sweat on his head. After all, she was a beautiful little girl, and after a hard day yesterday, and there was no rest at night, she put her head out of the window and looked at herself on the water, to see if she had become unsightly because she was too embarrassed.
Just as she was looking for a shadow in the river, the ripples on the surface of the river suddenly became strange, and circles of fine lines drilled through the hull of the boat, spreading in the opposite direction of the boat.
Ji Cunyan frowned slightly, stood up, shook the wrist of his right hand, and placed the ink bell between his fingers.
Lei Qi was most familiar with her, and when he saw her react like this, he stood up, held the scabbard with his right hand, and asked Ji Cunyan, "What's wrong?" β
"Senior Brother Lei Qi, this water pattern is wrong." Ji Cun said.
Zhang Ji yawned halfwayn, and was frightened by Ji Cunyan and swallowed back.
Jian Shaolin raised his eyes and looked.
The ripples that are in the opposite direction of the boat are transmitted from a distance, and the water ripples in this concentric arc are spread from the distance that is difficult to reach with the naked eye, although the ripples are not large, but they are very dense, and it is impossible to form such a wide range of small water ripples against the direction of the current without great force and extremely high frequency movement.
In short, it's weird.
Everyone thought of a reason, and that was that the python was in the water.
"Isn't it?" Ji Cun said, "Didn't you say that the snake demon had to wait for the new skin to harden before it made waves?" β
Lei Qi and Zhang Ji glanced at each other. This may be the case for other python monsters, but the blue-scaled female python grows when she sees the wind, and within a few days, she doesn't know how many times she has shed her skin.
When everyone was looking at me and I was looking at you, when they didn't have any ideas, Ji Cunyan suddenly sank under his feet, and he almost didn't stand firm.
Fortunately, Jian Shaolin, who was standing beside her, raised his hand and pulled her wrist.
As far as the eye can see, the fine ripples on the surface of the river have not changed shape, but the sudden shallowness of the water level of the lake is not a good sign.
Sure enough, the hull of the boat was suddenly raised by the river, and it soared a few inches into the air, almost throwing everyone out of the boat.
At this time, the sun is shining, there is only a light breeze on the river, and the weeping willows are only lazy and swaying their branches, which is not like any strong wind that can set off such a big wave.
Immediately after that, the boat tossed up and down even more.
Zhang Ji said: "Have you ever seen a tsunami? β
Ji Cunyan said: "What Xiao? β
Zhang Ji said: "Whenever there is a tsunami at sea, the sea water along the coast will first be shallow and shallow, as if the tide is receding, and then there will be a strong wind and waves from the middle of the sea to the shore, which is very terrible. There are no big waves on such a wide river now, but the hull of the ship is jolting up and down, indicating that there must be very huge things tumbling and floating in the lower reaches of the river. Nine times out of ten, it's the green scale female python! I'll look at it for a momentβ"
Jian Shaolin interrupted him coldly and said, "Don't guess, just look ahead." β
Everyone looked intently along his gaze, and a few miles away, a huge white wave two people high was rolling in this direction.
This wave hits, and the ship will probably be knocked away.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people on this boat, in addition to Jian Lei Ji Zhang, there were also Jin Zhutou and four or five fast catchers, plus a boatman who supported the boat.
Lei Qi said to Ji Cunyan: "Little junior sister, you take Xiao Zhang Tianshi ashore first." β
Zhang Ji said: "Don't panic, wait for me to make a jack drop to stabilize the hull." β
Ji Cunyan picked him up and said, "What else are you falling!" It's important to save your life! After speaking, she performed light skills and jumped ashore with Zhang Ji.
Lei Qi first glanced at Jin Zhutou, reached out to support his back, and pushed him ashore. Jin Zhutou knows a little about light skills, and with the help of Lei Qi, he can easily go ashore. The crowd caught fast and had a demonstration of Jin catching heads, and they were all helped to jump ashore by Lei Qi one by one. If there is someone who can't exert his strength or is still missing a breath, Ji Cunyan will use ink thread around the shore to help.
Jian Shaolin was the one who used the jack drop and used his body to stabilize the left and right shaking of the ship's hull, making the Lei Qi operation smoother.
Seeing that the white waves were getting closer and closer, it was too late to push people ashore in the same way.
Ji Cunyan said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Lei Qi, hurry up!" β
In the end, Lei Qi and Jian Shaolin picked up two catchers and jumped ashore.
Before the two of them landed, the wall of waves had arrived, and the small boat was pushed into the air by the huge waves, and then swallowed into the belly, and rolled out upstream, not to mention that the hull of the ship was lifted open, and the bow of the boat was smashed.
If everyone had been one step too late, they might have been smashed to pieces along with the boat.
Rao is like this, and everyone is still drenched by the waves that have been swept ashore.
It's just a huge wave, and the blue-scaled female python didn't follow the wave wall and make up for it.
Everyone stood on the shore a few feet away from the water, and saw several waves of these waves going upstream, and sometimes saw the hull, clothes and things that were rolled up by the retrograde river, Ji Cunyan also took a closer look to see if anyone would be swallowed by this huge wave, but he couldn't save a person.
Jin Zhutou said to Ji Cunyan: "Don't worry, Miss Ji, the boatman by the river has a lot of water and is very good, and she may have rescued herself from the shore." β
Zhang Ji wiped a handful of water droplets from his face and said, "This evil animal is probably hitting the mountain." β
Jian Shaolin said: "Are you saying that these personal high waves were formed by the giant python hitting Yishan County all at once?" β
Zhang Ji nodded.
Without further ado, everyone took the overland route against the current on the shore and soon arrived at Yishan County, the prince's mansion.
By this time the waves had stopped, and the old butler pushed open the door and saw several old friends.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Tianshi, who had come to see the corpse for the prince, and the secret agents of Xuanjing Hall, Lei Qi and Ji Cunyan. There is also a boy with a good appearance and a gloomy face, but he has never seen it.
"Uncle Butler, has something happened to the Shizi Mansion?" Ji Cunyan asked the old housekeeper.
"Fangcai? Wasn't it an earthquake? It's a big battle, and all the cups and tea sets, wardrobes, tables and chairs in the house have been shaken down and smashed, and now the maids are cleaning up. The old butler said, "Guys, ...... this?" β
Zhang Ji said: "Yishan County was attacked by evil spirits, the stakes are very high, please let the housekeeper let us enter the mansion to explore." β
The old butler hurriedly backed back and said, "Please come in, please come in!" β
Zhang Ji entered the Shizi Mansion, he was familiar with the way, and he didn't need a housekeeper to guide the way, so he rushed to the back mountain. The other three had to follow him.
It seems that he said that this Yishan County is the handiwork of his senior brother Zhang Yunchu, and he is very familiar with this Qimen Dunjia technique and does not brag.
Everyone climbed over several exquisite corridors and rocks, and came to the back mountain where Yishan County depended.
After turning over this mountain, I saw that the river was facing behind the mountain, and on the mountain with Yishan County on its back, the vegetation was scarred, the broken wood and stumps fell to the ground, the soil on the bare mountain was loose, and some of the corners of the rocks were exposed.
It was a trace caused by the giant python that was more than ten feet long.
"This kind of collision...... People can be knocked into mud, right? Ji Cunyan swallowed his saliva and said with emotion.
"Thank you, senior brother, for the stone formation!" Zhang Ji said: "Otherwise, Yishan County would have been hit by that snake a long time ago." β
"What do you mean by that?" Jian Shaolin asked Zhang Ji.
"Yishan County is not suitable for people to live, but Nading Kang Shizi chose a site in Suzhou to build the Shizi Mansion, so he had to live in this unlucky place to bury people. My senior brother can only help Shizi set up such a feng shui bureau, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, and no external evil can enter it, like an iron wall. That's why the snake demon couldn't get in after putting Neidan in the body of the prince. I couldn't get in that day, and I still can't get in now. Zhang Ji said, and he was quite proud between his words.
Jian Shaolin looked sideways at the river that bypassed Yishan County and said, "But it must be nearby, waiting for an opportunity." β
For convenience, Zhang Ji and the others all settled in Yishan County.
There was nothing to say for a day, and in the evening, after a hurried meal in the Shizi Mansion, Jian Shaolin returned to the room prepared for him by the old housekeeper. He closed the door, sat down at the table, and first took out a bamboo tube with the length and thickness of his fingers from his arms, and took out an incense stick from it and lit it. Then he sat down, sealed his hand, took a deep breath, and protected his mind with the Great Law of Returning to the Yuan.
At this time, in his eyes and ears, there were Ji Cunyan's five senses.
The pomegranate earrings that Ji Cun lost and recovered, were indeed manipulated by Jian Shaolin.
Zhang Ji is using a brush to draw a simple layout map of Yishan County on a piece of paper.
Ji Cunyan sat across from him and looked at the paper.
Zhang Ji circled a few circles with another red pen dipped in cinnabar in the layout drawing, and said: "These feng shui levels are where the mysteries of Yishan County lie." This is the Shengmon. He dotted a red circle with the end of his pen.
"Ahh Is this the door to death? Ji Cunyan pointed to another feng shui level opposite the Shengmen.
Zhang Ji raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Cunyan, and said, "This is a feng shui array designed according to Zhou Yi's gossip, which is mysterious...... I tell you that you don't understand either. How is it possible to go straight to the end, the door of life to the door of death? β
Ji Cunyan pouted and said, "Life is against death, life is against the door, isn't it death?" Isn't that right, Senior Brother Lei Qi? β
Lei Qi wiped his Longquan sword on the side, but smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.
Ji Cunyan immediately put this question aside and asked Zhang Ji, "Where is the door of death?" β
"Here!" Zhang Ji used the end of the pen to click on the red circle next to the door.
"The door of life and the door of death are next to each other!"
"The so-called life and death are often just a thought, life and death, sometimes it is instantaneous, what's strange?" Zhang Ji said.
"Alright! And then what? Ji Cunyan opened the small sugar bag he was carrying and asked, "Do you eat pine nut candy?" β
Zhang Ji shook his head, and Lei Qi also shook his head.
Ji Cunyan only eats alone.
"We just need to introduce that giant python into the Yishan County Mansion, let it meander along the river that runs through the entire Yishan County, suppress it with talismans and magic weapons at several important nodes, wait for its head to get stuck in the kun position, and then nail it with a peachwood sword to seal it. As long as the formation is properly arranged, its entire snake body will be nailed to death at various feng shui levels, and it will not be able to move at all. Zhang Ji said.
"Sounds really good...... But how do you put the snake in? β
Zhang Ji said: "This is easy. Senior Brother Yunchu's formation is a living formation, and the arrangement of a few feng shui levels can be completed. β
Ji Cun said: "But most of the rivers in Yishan County are dug manually, the water flow is small, and it appears and disappears from time to time, and in some places it is only the thickness of an arm, so how can such a big snake get in and walk along the river?" β
Zhang Ji said: "As long as the sky is beautiful and it rains heavily, we will widen the too thin water flow again, and we will definitely be able to invite the snake into the urn." β
Lei Qi said: "That snake demon is very smart. Yishan County, which almost hit the body and couldn't crash into it today, suddenly has an entrance, can it be fooled? β
Zhang Ji said: "It can't be tough, you can only outwit." Since it was useless to use the trick of hitting the mountain, the snake demon must have thought that it could only rely on the waterway introduced from outside to invade. If the river widens because of the rain, it must think that it can slip in. β
"Speaking of which, God has to help me to make it rain in time." Ji Cun said, "Ah! Why don't you do it? Zhang Tianshi, you open the altar, please ask the Dragon King for help, how about a rain? β
Zhang Ji frowned and said, "Who told you that the Heavenly Master of the Eight Classics would open the altar to pray for rain?" Where is the book again? β
Ji Cunyan said: "What kind of words, it's said in the biography of the Eight Classics." β
Zhang Ji asked, "That biography?" β
"Journey to the West."
Lei Qi couldn't bear it this time, and laughed directly.
Zhang Ji sighed and said: "Isn't it a monk who can open the altar in "Journey to the West"? I'm not a monk. Even if Sun Xingzhi is not a monk, he is a goblin, and finally a Buddha, what does it have to do with our Taoism? β
"But isn't the person who fights with Sun Xing a Taoist priest? Tiger Power Daxian, Yang Power Daxian...... Something. β
Zhang Ji said loudly: "Aren't they all monsters?!" Do you expect me to open the altar, but count on the serpent outside! β
Ji Cunyan laughed.
Zhang Ji clutched his chest and said, "I'm so angry!" Return the sheep power immortal! Ji Cunyan is really capable, my grandfather can be angry with you! β
At that moment, there was a knock at the door.
Lei Qi put down the Longquan sword and opened the door, it was the little maid in the prince's mansion.
The little maid is still wearing plain clothes, dressed in white but also looks delicate. She saluted Lei Qi and said, "Hello Mr. Lei, the housekeeper asked me to bring you sour plum soup to cool off." β
Lei Qi let people in.
The little maid was followed by a maid, and the two put three bowls of sour plum soup on the table, and the little maid who spoke before said, "Why don't you see any Jian Gongzi?" β
Lei Qi said: "Master Jian is in the West Wing. β
The little maid said: "Then this bowl of sour plum soup, we will send it over." β
After that, the two little maids left.
Jian Shaolin saw that the synaesthesia method was interrupted, and he had already spied on the magic circle that Zhang Ji was about to cast, so he accepted the spell and opened his eyes. Raised his hand and snuffed out the incense stick that was about to burn out.
The other side withdrew the spell, and there was a knock at the door.
The little maid said outside: "Young Master Jian, our housekeeper saw that the weather was hot, so he ordered us to send you sour plum soup to cool off." β
Jian Shaolin stood up, walked over and opened the door.
The plan has been decided, Zhang Ji and Lei Qi discussed with Lei Qi which places in the Yishan County Mansion will be renovated tomorrow, widening the waterway is one, and changing the pattern of the feng shui array is two.
Ji Cunyan felt that this project was not small, and said, "Why don't you ask Master Jian for help?" β
Lei Qi and Zhang Ji thought of Jian Shaolin's strange actions this time, and glanced at each other.
Zhang Ji said: "You are not a yamen, isn't it normal not to ask him for help?" β
"I think he's pretty good! With a sword, he dares to stab the seven inches of the giant python alone, and not everyone has the courage to do so. β
Zhang Ji thought for a while and said, "So leave the matter of killing demons and demons to him, and let him rest the coolies who move bricks!" β
Lei Qi said to Ji Cunyan: "You can rest too!" Don't run around tomorrow. β
Ji Cunyan pursed her lips, picked up the sour plum soup and was about to drink it, she looked at the tiny droplets of water condensed on the white porcelain wall along the bowl, and said, "Isn't it a little hot these days?" In previous years, in the capital, the sour plum soup was only available when it was the beginning of summer. But it's delicious! β
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of lightning pierced through the window. Immediately after, several spring thunders rolled in.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Ji Cunyan said happily: "Isn't it raining?" I'm a blessing. β
After a while, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and smashed between the roof tiles.
The three of them looked up and knew that the rain was not small.
Zhang Ji said: "Without further ado, if this rain is like this one overnight, the water will rise tomorrow." We had to dig the river overnight and move the feng shui level. β
Lei Qi nodded, and said to Ji Cunyan: "Little junior sister, you hurry up and go to the Suzhou Mansion to inform Jin Zhutou to call a few more people to come over to help, it is best to have some stone tile kung fu on your body." β
Ji Cunyan said: "I'll go right away!" β
