Chapter 43. Seven stone bricks

Qin Bukong pointed to the seven long stone bricks on the pillar in the center of the formation and said, the number of bricks here is seven, do you see if it is the seven evil passes you said? Listening to Qin Bukong's meaning, although he felt as frustrated as me, he still wanted to continue to break through.

Jiang Xuerou walked to the pillar, because of his limited height, he could only touch the three long bricks close to the ground. He stretched out his hand and rubbed on the brick for a while, because he had been in the ground all the year round, and it had been stained with a thick layer of dust and soil.

After he reached out and touched it a few times, he turned his head to me and Qin Bukong and said, Come and see, there are words on this brick! So Qin Bukong and I got together, and Qin Bukong directly put the kerosene lamp on the edge of the brick. Jiang Xuerou spit a soak of saliva in the palm of her hand, and then began to rub it vigorously on the brick surface, and soon the dust turned into mud because of the saliva, and fell to the ground one after another. After rubbing it dozens of times, there was a word "魍" written on the brick surface.

This is counting from the ground upwards, the third stone brick, if it is really according to what Jiang Xuerou said, then the first two pieces should be written with the words "魑, charm" respectively, and their style should burst out all the time. Qin Bukong and I both regretted a little that when we found the heart of the formation, we didn't even carefully examine these stone bricks with different shapes, so that we missed such an important clue.

So Qin Bukong and I began to follow Jiang Xuerou's example, spitting on our hands and wiping off the dust on the two bricks in front of us. The piece I rubbed out, sure enough, had the word "charm" written on it, and the handwriting was blurry, but it was still distinguishable. After all, after a thousand years, fortunately it has been underground, otherwise the damage would have been even more serious. And strangely, the brick I rubbed out, under the blow of my fist, was a little loose, like a drawer, as if it could be taken out.

So I stretched out my hand to pull out the bricks, but was stopped by Qin Bukong, he said that now we have no preparation at all, all these things found today are new discoveries, you opened it so rashly, what if there is any danger? I thought to myself, too, so I didn't continue to do it.

The handwriting on the brick surface is engraved with Wei tablet font, in addition to serious weathering, the handwriting is also considered to be strong. Now it is basically possible to confirm Jiang Xuerou's statement, these seven stone bricks are engraved with the words next to the seven ghost characters, at this time Qin Bukong suddenly said, come and see, under my "魑" word, there is a row of small characters! We hurried over to take a look, and found that the handwriting was even more blurry than the big character, and after careful identification, we recognized that it was engraved with "Ying Youwu".

Jiang Xuerou and I both felt a little surprised, so we went back to the stone bricks I had wiped before, and began to rub them hard again according to the position of Qin Bukong's small characters, and under my "charm" word, there were also four small words "Dayu controls the water", I turned my head to see Jiang Xuerou rubbed out under the word "魍", which was still four small characters "Sixty Jiazi".

At this moment, the three of us were completely confused, even including Jiang Xuerou, whom we just met. He probably guessed that there were seven evils here, but he didn't understand what they meant. So we made a secret note of the clues and then began to rub the remaining four stone bricks, a process that lasted about an hour, as it was very time-consuming to read the handwriting.

However, in the end, we found that under the word "魉", it was written "Lengyan Baojing"; Under the word "Xiao" is written "difficult to find a soulmate"; Under the word "魃" is written "Immortal Weng Painting Hoove"; And under the last "Kui" position, it is written "Guan Gong cherishes the horse".

All of this made my mind a mess, and I didn't have a clue at all. I could only write down these words in a bummer, and I knew they would be of great use, but I didn't know how. Qin Bukong also frowned on the side, constantly brushing his beard with his hands.

Deeply underground for a long time, there is no concept of time at all. It wasn't until a long time had passed, and the kerosene lamps were about to go out, that I suggested that I should go home and study it slowly. As soon as Jiang Xuerou heard about it, what's the matter, have you always lived underground? I ignored him, but Qin Bukong said, stinky boy, let's go, come with us to the house to sit down?

After the past few hours, Qin Bukong and I have weakened a lot towards Jiang Xuerou, if he didn't mean to deceive, it would be impossible for him to tell us such a big lie in a short period of time. So personally, I still believe everything he says today. But Jiang Xuerou seemed to be a little resistant to going back with us, and he said hesitantly, you are so fierce, will you hurt me, I don't want to go.

Qin Bukong glanced at Jiang Xuerou, then turned his head to look at Gan Mu, then turned his head to look at Jiang Xuerou, and then asked, Are you sure you don't go?

So Jiang Xuerou obediently followed us.

Back at Qin Bukong's house, the sky was already completely bright. I looked at the time, and we were in the hole for five hours. Jiang Xuerou was afraid that Qin Bukong would command Ganmu to hurt him, and from the moment he sat down in the room, he sat upright, behaving in a proper manner, which looked particularly funny. After a long time, he said to Qin Bukong, senior, I'm thirsty, can you let me drink saliva?

Qin Bukong said to Jiang Xuerou like an old rascal, drink saliva? Why don't you drink snot? After saying that, he laughed, but the scare was scared, and he still poured a glass of water for Jiang Xuerou. After drinking the water, Jiang Xuerou asked, I don't know how long you want to keep me here, I've been out for a long time, now that I've found this place, I should go back to report to the master, but looking at the two of them, it seems that they don't plan to let me go back, right?

His last sentence was trembling, like a child who had done something wrong and wanted to play a little clever to escape punishment. So I just smiled and didn't speak, but Qin Bukong said, that's not good, what you and your master are looking for happens to be what I'm looking for, so you say, who did you find it?

Jiang Xuerou asked Qin Bukongdao, then may I ask my seniors, what is the use of you looking for that thing? Qin Bukong said, I don't know yet, maybe I just want to see and understand, but it is certain that this thing will definitely not reappear in the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will definitely cause disaster. Jiang Xuerou said, the meaning of my master's door is actually to want to seal this thing in another place, so as not to destroy the seal here in the future, for the sake of the people, my master is on the mountain, which is rarely visited on weekdays, and it is also a treasure land, very aura, and we are not specialized in academic law, and there is no other use for this thing to remove the seal, otherwise, do you want to ask the predecessors to find it and hand it over to us to deal with?

I snorted out laughing, and then said to him, little brother, I am afraid that you don't understand the personality of this old-timer in front of you, what he is looking for, he will definitely find it by any means, where is there a reason to find it and then give it to you? The more I thought about it, the more funny I felt, although this person looked young, but he was not a few years younger than me, why did he speak innocently and harmlessly, and he had a pedantic sense of not eating the fireworks of the world.

As soon as Jiang Xuerou heard me say this, she began to be a little anxious. Then asked Qin Bukong and said, senior, if you don't want to give it to me, it doesn't matter, but you must seal this thing well, otherwise, if you harm others, this cause and effect will not be able to bear even if you are a person with great ability!

Qin Bukong had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, so after listening to Jiang Xuerou's words, he was silent for a while and said, Although we arrested you today, it is also thanks to you. If it weren't for your reminder, we wouldn't have known that there was such a thing as the Seven Evil Passes, and we didn't know that we would inexplicably bump into it head-on, but instead killed ourselves. So for this point, I, Qin Bukong, am not ungrateful, although you helped me unintentionally, but after all, you helped, I will not be embarrassed for you.

Qin Bukong continued, please come to the house to sit, on the one hand, I hope you can also frankly explain to us, since this thing is not necessary for your faction, my old Qin will accept it unceremoniously, if your faction is willing to cooperate with us, of course I am very welcome.

I nodded secretly in my heart, although Qin Bukong still has no rules for doing things, he does his own thing, and he is domineering, but I have to say that since he established a master-apprentice relationship with me, it is obvious that his temperament has also been much more restrained, at least not like before, and he is completely out of content.

Qin Bukong pointed at me and said to Jiang Xuerou, this is a person from your Daomen, who is a little older than you, since your sect sent you to visit here, I also let this little brother return to the sect with you, which can be regarded as a courtesy exchange and a look at each other. By the way, I will ask you what your master means, and see if you want to work with me, or if you are coming to rob it openly and secretly.

In the last sentence, Qin Bukong said arrogantly again, as if he didn't take the other party and the master in his eyes at all, the implication was that even if you came to rob me, I would not be afraid, and there was a way to clean you up. He seemed to have completely forgotten that it didn't belong to him, and what he was doing was no different from robbing.

I thought to myself, this is not bad, after being locked up here for so long, I really want to go out and walk around, visit each other's teachers, and maybe meet a few masters, why not. So I happily agreed, Jiang Xuerou also seemed to be a child with no heart, I heard everyone say so, so I also agreed.

So that night, Qin Bukong instructed me to follow Jiang Xuerou to the guest house where he was currently staying, re-open the room and stay for one night, planning to take the boat early the next morning.
