Chapter Twenty-Three: The Crossroads
When the fat man heard this, he suddenly realized, and he pointed to the ruts that appeared on the ground and said:
"So, this incense ash can help us find the remaining traces, so that we can get to the bottom of it!"
Feng Yun smiled and nodded, which also made the fat man more energetic.
He walked along the ruts as he walked forward, his head bowed and sprinkled incense ash on the unseen ruts.
Feng Yun and Yan Qilin followed the fat man without saying a word, and by following this rut, they should be able to find the final destination of the bus.
However, after a while, the fat man was already tired and panting, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened up and moved his muscles:
"What's the situation, why haven't you found the bus yet?"
However, at the moment when the fat man straightened up, he actually found Feng Yun and Yan Qilin standing on the side of the road in front of him.
This made the fat man stunned for a moment, and he looked back behind him, and there was no one.
"Hey...... This ......"
The fat man walked quickly to Feng Yun and Yan Qilin, and said suspiciously:
"Didn't you follow me all the time, how did you run to the front?"
Yan Qilin's eyes were a little helpless, and Feng Yun was calm, but the fat monk Erzhang was confused.
"Fatty, haven't you noticed that you've been going around in circles?"
"Huh?"
As soon as Feng Yun said this, the fat man immediately raised his head, but at this moment he realized that now he had actually returned to the origin where he found the bus stop sign at that time.
The whole rut is connected together, and it is simply a circle.
And the fat man didn't realize that he had gone around this circle several times.
"This ...... This ......"
The fat man's face turned red in a hurry, he looked at Feng Yun and asked puzzledly:
"Director, you found out earlier, why didn't you remind me, I almost died of exhaustion!"
Feng Yun said as a matter of course:
"We see that you are so serious and distracted, of course you can't bear to bother, right?"
Yan Qilin next to him immediately nodded cooperatively, this scene really made the fat man angry.
"However, the few circles you have turned around are not meaningless, at least it can be determined that the existence of the secret is actually in this Longhua Road all along.
Since the unknown being is here, the missing person should be here too. ”
Feng Yun's words made the fat man react for a long time, and then he looked around:
"But Director, we've been here two or three times, what's the wrong guy here?"
"Just because you can't see doesn't mean you don't ......"
Feng Yun said as he took the red bag from Yan Qilin's hand again.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Yun took out the contents of the bag in turn.
A pile of yellow paper, a brush, a little cinnabar, and a bundle of red string.
These things were all prepared by the fat man and Yan Qilin before, but in fact, the two of them didn't know what these things were for.
"Now it's almost certain that the existence behind the scenes is good at hallucinating with witchcraft.
Although many demons are able to do this, did you smell a strange smell when the bus appeared just now? ”
Feng Yun's voice came into the ears of the two, and Yan Qilin frowned and said:
"It's like a foul smell......"
The fat man then nodded:
"Director, is this demon a fox demon, I see that folk tales say that the fox demon stinks, is this true?"
The fat man himself didn't realize that subtly, he had accepted the fact that the monster existed.
After all, Fang Cai's evil experience has always been fresh in the memory of the fat man.
Feng Yun thought about it and said:
"It's hard to say, it's still uncertain, but the illusion can't hide the smell of itself, which means that this demon's Taoism is not very high.
It's just that the reason why we can't track it down is because we are not in the illusion. ”
The fat man and Yan Qilin looked at Feng Yun with some puzzlement when they heard this.
"But we, like those who have been magical, are all on this Longhua Road, and we all see bus stop signs and buses.
Why are they in illusion and we are not? ”
The fat man finally asked a quality question, Feng Yun glanced at him approvingly, then stood up and motioned for the two to follow him.
"This shows that the place where the illusion was laid is not on this Longhua Road.
Do you still remember the four people before, they didn't know that they had entered Longhua Road, and they didn't know that the car coming was 444 Road, which didn't exist.
This means that Longhua Road is just a place where this demon wants to attract people, but the way to attract people is not performed here.
I think the illusion is probably outside Longhua Road, like those office buildings. ”
Feng Yun's words made the two suddenly realize, and the fat man immediately said:
"That is to say, we are going to find the place of the middle art now, only in this way can we come back to this Longhua Road in the illusion.
Clues, maybe hidden in them? ”
Feng Yun smiled and patted the fat man's shoulder:
"It's smart, but it's only half right.
We don't need to go to a place for the middle school, which is time-consuming and laborious......"
As he spoke, Feng Yun came to the intersection in front of Longhua Road, where he was teaching the two new team members a way of thinking about solving non-human cases.
It's late at night, so there is not a single car at the intersection and the street lights are very dim.
"Illusion, to put it bluntly, is a force that affects the five senses.
The eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind are not useless in the illusion, but they are immersed in a false environment that has been shaped.
Since the Dao of that thing is not enough, if it wants to cast an illusion that can affect many people, it must use the yin qi of the Extreme Yin Land.
From here, we cut in, in the same place of extreme yin, into the illusion laid by it. ”
Feng Yun is also imparting some folk knowledge and attention to the two team members, which will be of great use in their future cases.
"The Land of the Extreme Shade? Where? ”
The fat man looked around blankly, but saw Feng Yun pointing to the center of the intersection where the three of them were:
"The crossroads are what I call the place of extreme yin, the yin here is extremely heavy, the perennial yin gathers but does not disperse, and the crossroads extend in all directions, and the yang is also yin, and over time it has become the place of extreme yin.
That's why intersections are always the most prone to accidents.
You never know how many things are hidden at the seemingly empty and empty intersection, and where what comes from. ”
Feng Yun's voice turned out to be a little gloomy when he said it, and the fat man subconsciously leaned towards Yan Qilin's side.
"Bureau...... Director, what you're talking about, you can't be a ghost, right? ”
Feng Yun glanced at the fat man, and then nodded:
"Nonsense, people have their way, demons have demon roads, and ghosts naturally have ghosts.
Moreover, what we have to do next will also need the help of ghosts.
Only when the ghost energy suppresses our yang energy can we step into the illusion of the demon......"
