Chapter Seventy-Nine. Sixty jiazi

I don't know the science behind this, but I do know that this strange scene in front of me has nothing to do with the supernatural, just a chemical reaction caused by that special grease when it comes into contact with the air. So just when I was still regretting that this not-so-beautiful "Spring Palace Picture" had disappeared without a trace, the fragments on the ground had become brittle into a pile of powder.

I knew that I was probably in trouble, so I looked at Qin Bukong with an innocent face, and then said You really don't blame me for this, I just touched it lightly. If you put it back later, it will still become a pile of scum. Qin Bukong didn't speak, nor did he blame me, he just threw the small amount of fragments that he was still holding in his hand on the ground, and they still shattered into a pile of powder. Then he clapped his hands and said, what the hell is this, it's really evil.

Then Qin Bukong asked me, have you remembered all the things on the red hijab just now? I thought about it for a moment and said, I can roughly remember, why do you ask? Qin Bukong said, I wonder if there will be such a possibility, the senior who buried the things at the beginning, maybe he understands in his heart that if someone breaks through the level in the future, the person who can pass the eight gate formations first, and then pass the two levels of "魦" and "charm" is by no means an idle person, maybe this chapter of the red hijab is a evidence of self-destruction, maybe it is some clues that we need to use when we pass the level later.

So I realized that I hadn't planned to memorize it carefully, but now I started to try to remember it, and I want to remember it firmly. Qin Bukong said, take everything you need to take, this wooden box will be broken as soon as you take it, just take a look at it later, don't take it away, and then we will go home to study and study.

I gave Qin Bukong some time to squat on the ground with a flashlight to inspect the stone box and the wooden box, and then he stood up and told me that there were still some blurry handwriting on the inner wall of the wooden box, but if you read it carefully, you can see that it is "My Fair Lady, Gentleman is good". I snorted and said, where did this lewd slut come from, my fair lady. Qin Bukong answered and said, That's right, so you are not a gentleman either.

He told me that this is probably the same as the spring palace diagram on the red hijab just now, which is to catalyze the power of the big ghost guarding under this word, but now that the big ghost has been destroyed, the rest is only for reference.

So I quickly packed up my things, regardless of the sore arm, I put the stone box back on, and then stuffed it back into the hole we dug at the beginning, and then backfilled and compacted the soil on the ground, although the color of the soil at the entrance of the hole still looks different, but presumably in this sewer, over time, it will also be damp because of moisture, and the surface of the soil will gradually blend with the surroundings, plus there are few people who come on weekdays, so it should not be discovered by others.

Before leaving, Qin Bukong and I threw the shovels and crowbars used for digging into the gutter, so as not to carry these things out on our backs, and if someone found out, it would be possible to guess what we had done. While these things are bought with money, what money can buy is not a vital thing. Then we retreated, while retreating, I wiped the footprints on the ground with my feet, and also pulled out the nails that the pine nuts had originally left as road signs, and when we returned to the ground, we found that it was already close to evening, and many people who went out to work or go to school were returning home one after another at this time, and the sewer kiln manhole cover we entered and exited was originally located in a residential area, so in order to avoid these people, we waited at the bottom of the well for a while before climbing out one after another.

It was late, and we picked up our pace to catch the bus home. It's just that the people in the car all gave me and Qin Bukong strange looks, and they all covered their noses, for fear of getting too close to us. I think it's because we're dirty and have the stench of sewers. Qin Bu was unthinkable, he closed his eyes almost the whole time and ignored the movements around him, while I was a little embarrassed because of this, and lowered my head in shame.

When I got home, it was already close to 8 o'clock in the evening, I was tired all day, and I was not far from death several times, and Qin Bukong and I were also hungry. In order to save time to go home and cook again, Qin Bukong unexpectedly took me outside to eat and drink, and the two of us went home while burping.

Matsuko was very happy to see us go home safely. So he pestered Qin Bukong to tell him about what happened today, but Qin Bukong threw this task of explaining the work to me, and said meaningfully, you still ask this kid for details, he became an immortal today. I know that Qin Bukong is talking about my ecstasy spring dream, and he is taking this opportunity to make fun of me, this old guy, he can't eat grapes and says that grapes are sour. So I didn't pay attention to him, so I told Songzi what happened today, of course, I didn't go into detail about that fragrant scene, a sentence, anyway, Songzi doesn't feel like the world, and I can't understand it, but it will be embarrassing.

After resting for a while, Qin Bukong proposed that we go down to the place of the formation again before the end of the day and put this wax bead into the stone brick. I agreed, and the pine nuts went down with me, and in front of the center, I peeled off a layer of wax skin from the beads as usual, but found that the gloss and size of the beads in my hand were almost exactly the same as before, except that the color was dark red. It looks more like stone than metal. I handed the bead to Qin Bukong, Qin Bukong put it in the small groove of the stone brick, and then inserted the stone brick back into the pillar, as before, the stone brick of "Mei" was tightly returned to the center of the formation, and the stone brick with the word "魍" was written on it, as if it had triggered the mechanism, and a paragraph popped up with a click.

Under the word "魍", it is written "Sixty Jiazi", which is the same as the previous "Dayu controls the water", which is actually a very common four-character phrase. Almost everyone knows that sixty years is a Jiazi, which is part of the cycle of reincarnation in ancient Chinese culture. Although it seems to be related to the metaphysics we have learned, giving such a hazy clue is afraid that it will make us want to break our heads again.

So at this moment, Qin Bukong and I invariably looked at Songzi, although this person is weak, I have to admit that he is the smartest of the three of us. Maybe God was really fair, giving me and Qin Bukong a brute force, but forgetting to give us a smart brain. And the pine nuts are thin and thin, but they give us a sense of wisdom.

Songzi probably understood what we meant, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, there was a trace of satisfaction and pride in this smile, because he also knew that although Qin Bukong and I didn't talk about it, but in the matter of breaking through the Seven Evil Passes, Songzi had already regarded Songzi as an indispensable member of the team. He was also recognized by us, so he couldn't hide his joy.

Songzi said to us, it's useless for you to look at me, we have to go back to the ground to investigate and understand, and we are not in a hurry to discuss in the long run.

So the three of us went back to the ground, it was very late, we were all very tired, and we didn't plan to do anything that day, I wanted to rest early, but I wasn't as unhygienic as Qin Bukong, he didn't even take off his clothes and went to bed directly, but I still changed out of a dirty and smelly clothes, and took a shower before going to bed.

This sleep can be described as a drowsy sleep, at least for me, because when I woke up, it was already past noon, and Qin Bukong and Songzi had already gotten up and had been discussing countermeasures at the table not far from my bed. The two of them probably knew that I was really tired from the first day, and neither of them woke me up after waking up. I'm not a sleepy person, and I'm easily woken up by the sounds around me in my sleep, but I don't realize that they've been talking around me for so long.

I quickly dressed and washed, and then ate a fritter indiscriminately, which was cold, and I heard that the pine nuts had been bought from the morning out. Then I joined their discussion, listened to a few words, and found that the two seemed to have some arguments in the direction of the investigation. Qin Bukong felt that he should first analyze from the heavenly stems and earthly branches, find out the overlap between each Jiazi and the present in the past thousand years, and narrow down the scope to eliminate them, and the last few remaining may be the direction and direction of our investigation. Songzi believes that according to the urine of the predecessor thousands of years ago, the previous two levels were in Wuhan There is a landmark to be found, and this landmark is related to those four words. For example, "Ying has realized" homonym refers to "shadowless tower", and "Yu controls the water", which refers to "Yuwang Tablet". The only mistake in this is that the Shadowless Tower has been relocated, so that we have to think of a way to find the original site, and the Yuwang Monument is rebuilt, but fortunately, the site has not changed.

Therefore, Songzi believes that we should still start the investigation from some local places and place names, as long as it can overlap with Jiazi, it is the scope of our investigation, which will be much more pragmatic than Qin Bukong's large and empty calculation.

This time I chose to take sides, and I was on the side of the pine nuts. It's not because the method he said is simpler and easier to implement, but because this guy was extremely accurate on the previous two occasions, and this time I chose to believe his claim unconditionally, even if we are not locals, it will take a few days to get a result if we were to inquire.

Qin Bukong said angrily, Okay, since you both think what you said makes sense, then the investigation will be taught to you to complete, and I will not participate. Songzi looked at me a little embarrassed, his eyes seemed to say how this old man is still stubborn, and when I was about to open my mouth to mock Qin Bukong, he said, I will stay at home, while boiling water and cooking for you, while studying the local Jiazi cycle in the three towns of Wuhan for thousands of years.
