After asking, I suddenly felt that I was quite stupid. Of course, he is looking for the same thing as us, and it is impossible for a person who has set up the Eight Gate Strange Array to seal multiple souls in the same place.

Qin Bukong said to me, pull him up, you two are awkward on the ground, how ugly. Then he approached Jiang Xuerou and said, stinky boy, we don't want to do anything to you now, you have to be disciplined, otherwise you will let my big snake be used as a teething stick. Jiang Xuerou nodded repeatedly, so I let go of my leg that locked him, and then pulled him up and let him lean his back against the big stone pillar in the center of the formation.

Only then did I see Jiang Xuerou's appearance clearly. He has a long face, even in such a dim environment, he looks very white, thin eyebrows, but a pair of big eyes. He looks to be in his twenties, and he is not big and looks relatively thin. His face and forehead were covered in dust, probably from himself when he was drilling the hole and when I pounced on him. Jiang Xuerou's face was full of horror, as if everything that happened quickly just now hadn't been able to digest him yet, and he hadn't come back to his senses.

But when he saw me, he also had a stunned expression on his face. I didn't seem to expect that I was so young, not a few years older than him.

Qin Bukong asked Jiang Xuerou, how did you find this place? Jiang Xuerou said that a while ago, the master got a handwritten scroll of the ancients. It records a large number of anecdotes about metaphysics, and the date of this manuscript is probably written in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing army entered the customs and quickly swept the whole of China, and because the people in power knew that since they lived in Zhongyuan, the customs of those barbarians in Manchuria should be assimilated to a greater extent with the Han people, so on the one hand, they continued to attack the city and pull out the village, and on the other hand, they also searched everywhere for all the treasures lost in the people.

Jiang Xuerou said that he had also read the handwritten scroll, which mentioned the story of the Miao witch king "Ghost Mudang" who was fought by a master called "She Xiuping" for more than a month during the Northern Song Dynasty, and finally killed the witch king and sealed his soul. Jiang Xuerou said that he regarded it as a legend at the time, after all, in history, it was almost impossible to find relevant information about these two people. However, at the end of this story, it is mentioned that "the seal of the distance, hidden in the city, is gathered within three thousand feet." Stored in the underground palace for a hundred feet, the seven evils are guarded, I am afraid that future generations will mistake", and emphasized that until this handwritten scroll was written, this seal was still not found.

And about this story, the ancients who wrote the scroll also mentioned that in the early years when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the Qing army sent a large army from the current Nanjing generation down the river in the name of killing Zhang Xianzhong, killing and searching all the way, and searching for the treasures left in the folk in a carpet way, which naturally includes the soul of this witch king. However, the people killed by the Qing army at that time were all planted on Zhang Xianzhong's head.

As for the truth or falsity of this history, no one can say clearly. It's just that Jiang Xuerou mentioned one thing, but it greatly increased the possibility of the whole thing. He said that the ancients had written that in order to promote their prestige, the Qing army tried to incite the people to rebel against Zhang Xianzhong, and wrote seven identical inscriptions in seven different places. There is a sentence in the inscription that is the seven-character law, these seven words are "kill kill"!

I know this, the Seven Killings Monument, it is said that none of the existing in the world is real, and they are all later copies. In the early Qing Dynasty, this place was used to educate barbarians and ethnic minorities as the "Fan Si Governor Yamen", and according to the handwritten scroll, one of the seven killing tablets stood in the corner of the courtyard of the yamen.

Qin Bukong and I listened to Jiang Xuerou's words on the side, and felt a little surprised. Although we knew exactly that there was a witch king's soul here, we had never learned about the past and present life of this place, and we had never even thought about why the master had chosen this place to seal it. And now listening to Jiang Xuerou's meaning, it seems that the original Qing Dynasty government, knowing the seal here, deliberately chose to build a yamen here, educate the feudal people, and also made a special trip to set up a monument to suppress it.

Qin Bukong asked, then what is the relationship between the Seven Killings Monument you said and the soul of the Witch King here. A smug look flashed on Jiang Xuerou's face, and he said that this was actually his speculation. Because the ancients wrote "Seven Evils Guarding Each Other", he boldly speculated that the "Seven Killings" of the Seven Killings Monument was actually homophonic to the "Seven Evils", and under such a coincidence, he felt that this place began to have the need to explore.

After Jiang Xuerou told his master his thoughts, the master also felt that this matter was very interesting. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, China fell into decades of war, some old and buried things, because everyone avoided the war, but survived, so with a fluke mentality, Master also speculated that the soul of the witch king has not been found and taken out. Of course, the premise is that the contents of this manuscript are true, and not blindly nonsense.

So Jiang Xuerou asked the master to go to the sect, saying that he would go here and investigate in detail, if the situation is true, if there is indeed a soul of the witch king here, then return to the master after getting the evidence, and let everyone work together to find out this soul.

I admire a little in my heart, Jiang Xuerou's master, if it is really not for the purpose of taking it for himself, then he is indeed a compassionate person. Jiang Xuerou continued, so he came to the local area in advance, and after observing for a long time, he found that the location where we are now, that is, around the small alley of Qin Bukong's rented house, is almost dominated by bungalows and dilapidated old houses, and strangely, there has been large-scale construction nearby, but it seems deserted. On the contrary, with this place as the center of the circle, about a kilometer out, it is a very prosperous area of the whole Hankou. But this small area, under the prosperity of the surrounding area, always looks dilapidated.

Jiang Xuerou said, have you noticed that this kilometer is almost exactly 3,000 feet away, which also just confirms the sentence "gather within 3,000 feet" in the hand-copied scroll. Although Qin Bukong and I didn't speak, we both nodded secretly. Jiang Xuerou continued with some pride, so he judged at that time that the central position of this circular range, a hundred feet below, that is, almost thirty-three meters deep, should be the location where the soul of the Witch King was sealed.

I was a little dumbfounded, even a little admired. The lean man in front of him didn't expect his little head to be so smart. A large part of the reason we found this place was due to the rumors that Qin Bukong had heard in his early years, and he had been dug up, so there was some luck in it, but Jiang Xuerou was able to find this location accurately by purely relying on his own observations, the notes of his predecessors, and careful calculations.

But I was still a little unconvinced, so I asked him, then why did you dig from the ground and dig under our feet? Jiang Xuerou scratched her head a little embarrassed and said, it was because she had hired some workers to dig before, and she had dug too much, and she felt that it was unreliable, so she sent the workers away, and dug the rest of the way by herself. Qin Bukong also asked, how long have you been digging, why haven't we heard the sound of you digging stones before? Jiang Xuerou shrugged and said, maybe it was because it was still far away at the time, or maybe you didn't pay attention.

We stopped talking, and there really was no better explanation. So after being stunned for a moment, Qin Bukong asked Jiang Xuejudao again, you tell me, what does that Seven Evil Pass mean, I won't tell you, before you got here, the little brother in front of me and I had already broken the Eight Gates Formation of the Formation Heart in a row, we were thinking about how to open the seal of the Formation Heart, did you see those round holes on the ground?

After saying that, he pointed to the ground and said, "These eight round holes are used to insert the eight vajra that we have obtained earlier." Jiang Xuerou took the opportunity to look down, and then said, I noticed it just now, cough cough, before you get out. If it's the Seven Evils, then there shouldn't be eight holes here, I thought I misunderstood, and before I could figure it out, you restrained me.

I said to Qin Bukong, do you remember that there are seven long bricks on this array of heart stone pillars? Could it be the Seven Evils he said? I didn't wait for Qin Bukong to answer, I turned my head and asked Jiang Xuerou again, what is the Seven Evil Passes?

Jiang Xuerou said that the so-called seven evils refer to the ghosts, charms, spirits, spirits, spirits, dragons, dragons, and kui, which are all extremely fierce demons and monsters. Each of them guards a level and works together to protect the soul of the Witch King. This soul is originally a thing that gathers resentment, and these seven evils are all produced because of this.

Sure enough, it seems that the Eight Gate Formation that Qin Bukong and I worked hard to break was only entering the periphery. It's like peeling a hard-boiled egg, and what we break through is only the shell. And the real egg yolk is where the heart of the formation is, and if we want to find the egg yolk, we have to clean up the egg white part.

Thinking of this, I was immediately depressed. It seems that the overall situation set by the ancients thousands of years ago is not something that Qin and I can break through without empty talk. And at this time, Jiang Xuerou asked without opening any pot, what is the Eight Gate Array you just mentioned, how come I have never heard of it. Qin Bukong and I glanced at each other, obviously the two of us thought together, and then I said to Jiang Xuerou, uh... This one... Don't mention it, don't mention it...
