240. A sacrificial well (please read it on the starting point Chinese website)
Jiuding, Creation Ding!
Wang Qilin immediately thought of the word furnace ding, as far as he knew in ancient times, furnace and tripod were the same thing.
He asked Xie Toad this, and Xie Toad looked at him strangely and said, "Why does Lord Wang care about this issue?"
"I suddenly remembered, hehe, hehe. Wang Qilin sneered, "Is this furnace the same in ancient times?"
Xie Toad said: "It's not the same, although the furnace tripod in ancient times is the same, but there is an essential difference between the two, it is said that there is a lid for the furnace and no lid for the tripod!"
Wang Qilin nodded suddenly, maybe he knew that the creation furnace in the sea had nothing to do with the creation and transformation of Emperor Xia Yu.
The problem is that the furnace does not have a lid, but why is it still called a 'furnace'?
He had always wanted to find out what was going on with the Furnace, and even joined the Heavenly Prison in the first place to investigate it.
Xu Dasan didn't know what he was thinking, and the three of them discussed by themselves:
"Even if this is a sacrificial well, what does it have to do with Yang Zuo and Feng Liang?"
The old Taoist priest guessed that if someone sacrificed Yang Zuo and Feng Liang, maybe the sacrifices would flow into the sacrificial well. But this still can't be explained, right? It still can't explain Wang Xiaobao's ability to predict the death of people in advance. ”
"Could he be a yin errand? Last time we encountered a yin errand in the seventh master's hometown, she can predict a person's lifespan. ”
Xie Toad immediately shook his head: "Never, if he is bad, the old Taoist priest can't see it at all." And he has already lost a soul, how can Yin Cha lose his soul?"
Wang Qilin also felt that Wang Xiaobao was not a bad one, Jiuliu and Eight Meow were both spirit beasts, even if people couldn't see the spirit beasts, they could see something wrong.
Of course, Jiuliu has now seen a little problem, so it refuses to enter this ancestral shrine, but it is still young, let alone talking, and it can't even express its meaning clearly, and Wang Qilin doesn't know what it's afraid of and doesn't dare to enter the ancestral hall.
Xu Da thought for a while and said, "We have only seen Wang Xiaobao during the day, why don't we go and see it now?"
Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "You must go, and you have to bring him to the ancestral hall, his changes must be related to the ancestral hall." ”
The four of them walked out, and when they passed through the Moon Gate, Wu Dasan suddenly turned his head: "What are you doing?"
"What?" Wang Qilin asked subconsciously.
Xie Toad immediately turned around solemnly, stomped his feet and flew backwards towards the wall.
Wu Dasan said in surprise: "Who called me just now?"
He saw Wang Qilin and Xu Da's inexplicable expressions, and then felt chills all over his body.
There was no one behind them, only the empty night and the cold autumn wind.
The autumn wind whirls through the courtyard, and there is a 'whining' sound from time to time, but it does not make a sound calling his name.
But Wu Da Sanfen clearly heard someone calling himself just now!
The autumn wind whined, blowing into his heart little by little, making him cold from the outside to the inside.
Xie Toad jumped down and pasted a talisman on Wu Dasan's forehead, and said, "There is no evil cult calling people, but I will still paste a stable talisman for you." ”
Wu Dasan said excitedly: "Thank you, master!
Xie Toad glanced at him.
Originally, Wang Qilin wanted to keep Wu Dasan in the ancestral hall to guard the door, anyway, there was no need for him to follow him to the township.
But when this happened, he couldn't stay as a junior of Wu.
On the earth in his dreams, he had read some stories, like this occasion, once the large army of people left behind came back, he would find that the people left behind were gone, and then he would have to spend effort and time to find people, and when he looked for them, he would find that the people were gradually gone, like matryoshka dolls.
The four of them went to Wang Xiaobao's house in a familiar car, and Wu Dasan was about to knock on the door, but Wang Qilin stopped him and pointed to the wing.
There was a dim glow in the window of the wing.
Although it is the first half of the night, the countrymen have no activity at night, and they will go to bed early in order to save oil candles.
The entire Osmanthus Township has fallen into darkness, and at this time, the candlelight in the window of Wang Xiaobao's house is a little weird.
Wang Qilin motioned to climb the window to take a look secretly, he asked Xu Da to squat, stepped on Xu Da's shoulders and slowly looked into the wing.
A dumb face, a pair of white eyes.
Wang Xiaobao was still riding the wooden horse, and then rolled his eyes and looked at him.
'Crunch, crunch, ......'
The Trojan horse shook, and Wang Xiaobao swayed sluggishly.
Wang Qilin subconsciously gasped.
Wang Xiaobao was still rolling his eyes and looking up at him.
However, he rolled his eyes not because there was anything wrong, but because he was sitting too low on the wooden horse, and he couldn't see the window when he looked up, so he could only roll his eyes as much as possible, so it looked like he was rolling his eyes.
Wang Qilin and him kept looking at each other, and he never changed his expression or eyes.
In the end, Wang Qilin was defeated first, he was afraid that this kid kept tilting his head and rolling his eyes, so as not to make a mistake.
The four of them walked towards their house, and Xie Toad suddenly said, "We are quietly approaching the wing, how can the child find out about us?"
Not bad!
They knocked on the door and entered the house, and Wang Yuantong and his wife and two other children woke up.
Wang Qilin asked the wing room first, and Wang Yuantong said helplessly: "Xiaobao doesn't sleep every time he wakes up, and he keeps riding a wooden horse to play." Adults should understand that if he was allowed to stay in the bedroom, we would wake up in the middle of the night and see someone wandering there on a wooden horse, and we would be afraid, so we would send him to the wing. ”
"Then he didn't have anything unusual at night?"
Wang Yuantong and his wife shook their heads.
Wang Qilin said: "We are going to take him to the ancestral shrine, but please rest assured, we will protect him." ”
Wu Dasan helped and said: "You don't want the doll to be like this all the time, right?" These three adults are immortals from Fucheng, they may not be able to solve the problem of your doll, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss this village, you can't find such a shop even if you ride a horse!"
Wang Yuantong asked worriedly, "You won't get him into the well again, will you?"
Wang Qilin looked at him sensitively: "Again?"
Wang Yuantong was stunned.
Wang Qilin said: "Before, at the mouth of the well, your Wang clan said that the child had not fallen into the well, and he said that the water on Xiaobao's body was left by the children from the water fight. ”
Wang Yuantong smiled bitterly: "Oh, that's the case, I didn't hide anything from you, my lord." Xiaobao was in a wet coma at the mouth of the well, and then I chased the children and asked them, and the children said that he accidentally fell into the well and was pulled up with a bucket by a child in our longhouse. ”
Wang Qilin asked, "What is there to hide from this? Did he not accidentally fall?"
The second daughter, who was nestled in Wang's arms, seemed to be frightened when she heard this, and subconsciously shuddered.
Wang Qilin noticed this, and he asked the girl, "Little girl, do you know anything?"
Wang's second daughter lowered her head in a panic.
Wang Qilin looked at Wang, Wang stroked his daughter's braid and asked, "Erni, what did you not tell your father?"
Erni shook her head, still burying her face in her mother's arms and refusing to speak.
Wu Dasan was about to get angry, Xu Da held him down and walked over to sit next to him, took out something from his arms and stuffed it into the girl's pocket, and then whispered two words in her ear.
The girl quickly looked up at her father, hesitated for a few breaths, and also leaned into Xu Da's ear and said a word.
Xu laughed and touched her head and said, "I see, okay, the uncle knows, it's okay, you can rest with your mother." ”
Wang took Erni away, and Xu Da said: "Seventh Master, Xiaobao didn't accidentally fall into the well......"
"Pushed down!" Xie Toad's face sank.
Xu Da shook his head again: "No, he took the initiative to go down! To be precise, a child named Yuqian threw his wooden horse into the well, he jumped down to catch the wooden horse, the children thought he would drown and scared away, but he didn't expect him to drown, but came up, but no one knows how he got up and how he fell into a coma!"
Wang Qilin suddenly said: "I understand, no wonder Wang Zhonghang refuses to admit that the child fell into the well, if people know that the child did not drown after jumping into the well but inexplicably turned into a spirit child and came back, I am afraid that it will harm Xiaobao, and it will also cause some rumors to your Wang ancestral shrine." ”
Wang Yuantong said hesitantly: "Poor, almost, it is Wang Zhonghang's decision to block the wellhead, not the decision of the young man who guards the ancestral shrine." ”
After knowing this, Wang Qilin felt more doubts in his heart.
There is a problem with the sacrificial well, so where is the problem?
Who saved the child who jumped into the well?
And who sent the child up?
Wang Yuantong muttered to himself: "I hurt Xiaobao, I hurt him, I shouldn't have found someone to make a Trojan horse for him, it must be Yuqian who was jealous that he had a Trojan horse, so he threw the Trojan horse into the well, I hurt him......"
Wu Dasan was kind, and he comforted: "It happened, don't regret it, maybe the adults can solve your son's matter this time." ”
Wang Yuantong put all his hopes on Wang Qilin and the others, and took the initiative to take them to the wing room to find his son.
Wang Xiaobao still raised his head and rolled his eyes, seeing this, Wang Qilin realized that maybe the kid didn't just look at the window when he found them, he had been in such a posture.
Wang Yuantong led him out, he walked out of the door drooling, and suddenly took the initiative to look at Wu Dasan.
At this time, his eyes were no longer dull, but became concentrated, he stared at Wu Dasan, the corners of his mouth were strangely raised, and he laughed slowly:
"You're here?"
In the middle of the night, Wu Dasan was stared at by him and heard such a sentence, his heart was a little hairy, and he looked at Wang Qilin and the three of them helplessly: "What does this mean?"
Wang Qilin couldn't figure it out either, and asked, "You've seen it before, and he has an impression of you?"
Xu Da asked, "Don't be afraid, he may not be looking at you, but there is a person behind you who only he can see." ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu Dasan almost cried.
Wang Xiaobao giggled, and said to Wu Dasan: "Let's play together in the future, I have a Trojan horse, I will give you a Trojan horse, and you give me a knife." ”
Wu Dasan subconsciously clenched his waist knife, his mentality collapsed, and he shouted: "Seventh master, master, this is what he is talking to me, isn't it?"
Wang Qilin hurriedly asked Wang Yuantong: "Has such a thing happened before?"
Wang Yuantong shook his head vigorously: "No, never, he didn't speak at most before, just eating, drinking and Lazar quietly like a normal child." ”
Wang Qilin thought of Wu Dasan saying in the ancestral hall just now that someone called him, which must be related to Wang Xiaobao's strange words.
Xie Toad also thought of this, and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, take the child to the ancestral hall!"
Wu Dasan shook his head in panic: "Master, I'm not going, I'm not going, you guys go." ”
Xie Toad hated that iron could not be made of steel and slapped him in the head: "Lack of heart, you must have encountered something now, if you don't solve the problem, do you wait for the matter to solve you?"
Wu Dasan was aggrieved, Xie Toad said again: "Xiaobao's reaction has nothing to do with the ancestral hall, you are entangled by the resentment on the yin cha crying mourning stick, the three souls are unstable, the seven spirits are shaky, and you may not be alive soon, so Xiaobao said this, don't worry, I will teach you Wulang gossip stick, as long as you practice hard and act righteously, you will definitely be fine." ”
These words comforted Wu Dasan, and he hugged Xie Toad's arm in fear and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I see, that disciple's life depends on the master, the master saves his life!"
Xie Toad patted his head and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, don't be afraid. ”
Looking at this scene, Jiuliu and Eight Meow glanced at each other, and then the larger Nine Six squatted down and snuggled his head on Eight Meow's shoulder, and Eight Meow raised a small hand and patted it on the door of the head.
Wang Qilin hurriedly stuffed the eight meows into his arms.
They are laughing at Wu Dasan for being timid.
When it got to the door, it was changed to ninety-six timid, and it threw its legs into the gutter.
Wang Qilin didn't care about it, and entered the ancestral hall first.
Jiuliu saw that the big guys were all in and he was left alone, and in the end it had no choice but to jump into the door with a wrinkled dog face and a dog's tail, and then move in small steps, small steps.
Wang Xiaobao was not afraid of the ancestral hall, he walked in normally, but he kept raising his head and smiling at Wu Dasan during the period, which made Wu Dasan laugh collapse.
When he reached the archway into the backyard, he did not go in anyway, and said, "My lord, you go, I am here and I will guard the door for you here." ”
"What a timid. Xu scolded him, he walked to the mouth of the well and looked down, suddenly picked up the rope on the ground, tied the torch and put it down.
His hands trembled, and he was in a hurry.
The torch entered the shaft, and he then said to Wang Qilin: "Seventh master, Dao Chief, you come over first." ”
Wang Qilin knew that he must have made a discovery, so he went over and looked into the well.
In the hunting flames, the well was yellow-red.
A man appeared in the muddy well, and he sank into the water, his face turned up......
Through the water mixed with ashes, Wang Qilin vaguely saw this face:
Wu Junior!
Wu Dasan with his eyes closed and an expressionless face!
For a moment, Wang Qilin subconsciously turned around and looked at the Moon Gate, at the door, Wu Dasan squatted on the ground with his head down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
However, is he looking at Wu Dasan now?
Is it a real martial arts junior?
He thought of the paper man, and the monster he met when the cat didn't jump into the mountain stream......
Xu Dadao was big, holding the mace and walking towards Wu Dasan, shouting tentatively as he walked: "Ah San, Ah San?"
He was ready, and as soon as the other party had something abnormal, he immediately smashed it with a mace!
Wu Dasan raised his head and asked, "What's the matter, Master Xu?"
There is no problem with people.
It's all so weird.
Wang Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Dao Chief, what's the matter?
Xu Da walked back with Wu Dasan in his arms and chatted very casually: "Do you know how I coaxed Erni to talk to me just now?"
"How?"
"Haha, simple, I gave her two copper baht, told her to hide the money, and when a merchant came to the township, I went to buy a flower turban and red head rope with him. Then I told her again and asked her to tell me the truth quietly, only herself. ”
"I see, Xu Ye is amazing. ”
While talking, the two of them walked over, and then Xu Da released Shangong Youfu, patted Wu Dasan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, admit it yourself, what are you?"
Wu Dasan was stunned for a moment: "Ah, I'm not a thing, no, I am, I'm a human!"
Xu Da took two steps back and said sharply: "You don't even have a shadow of this thing, and you dare to say that you are a human?"
The moonlight is not bright tonight, but there is a glow.
Wu Dasan looked down -
The moonlight shone on the earth, and he really had no shadow.
Xu Da picked up his mace and prepared to dry: "The demon eats the uncle's stick!"
Wang Qilin quickly waved his knife to block the mace, and said, "Calm down, Ah San is fine." ”
Wu Dasan didn't react, he turned to look at the ground and looked up at the night sky blankly, he looked at the shadows of others and looked at himself, and suddenly shouted: "My shadow, where is my shadow?"
Eight Meow looked at him pitifully, and walked around him with cat steps: You see the shadow of the meow here, see it?
Wang Qilin couldn't hold the seal of the king in his hand, and recited the "Vajrasattva Heart Mantra" to him, using the mantra of the word Linzi.
The word mantra, Mount Tai collapsed and did not move, strong-willed, heart like a rock, not moving and not confused, stable as an old dog!
The aura in the courtyard poured into Wu Dasan's body, he quickly calmed down and asked, "Seventh Master, what about me and my shadow?
Xie Toad said: "Your shadow is still there, but it has become very faint, and the moonlight is not good tonight, so I can't see clearly." The reason why your shadow will fade is because you have lost a soul, you have no worries about your life, the soul of the fetal light is fine, you are fine with wisdom, then your soul of the soul is fine. ”
"Then it's easy, you're losing the soul of the ghost!"
Wu Dasan subconsciously shouted again.
Wang Qilin said in a deep voice: "Don't speak, don't worry, with us, you're fine!"
He quickly analyzed: "The accident must have happened tonight, Ah San heard something calling him just now, and he promised at the time, it should be that one of his souls will be lost." So the question is, why? What did Ah San do that would cause all this?"
Wu Dasan trembled his lips and said, "I didn't do anything, I've been with the adults tonight, and the food is the same......"
"You've done it, we've never done it!"
The four of them were thinking, Wang Qilin looked at Xiaobao and said, "Master Xu, are you optimistic about this child...... Wait!"
"I see!"
Wang Qilin looked at Wu Dasan and said, "You threw your waist knife into the well today." ”
Xu Dadao: "Yes, but what's the matter?"
Wang Qilin said: "I don't know what's going on, but I know there's a problem! Xiaobao's Trojan horse once fell into the well, and he got it back! Is there any connection between this?"
Wu Dasan's eyes widened and said: "There is a demon in the well! Just now I threw the waist knife into the well, as if something was dragging it down, but I quickly put the waist knife up, the force of the pull is not real, if there is nothing, alas, I am me, I am not sure!"
Xu Da pondered and said, "Seventh Master, I have an idea, didn't the old Taoist priest say that this well is called the sacrificial tripod? You see, Xiaobao's Trojan horse and Ah San's knife have both gone into the well water, but they have been taken out again......"
"Could it be that there are ghosts and gods who treat these two things as sacrifices for themselves, and when the sacrifices are taken away, it is as if they are snatching things from their hands, so they want to punish Xiaobao and Ah San?"
Wang Qilin was stunned, and then suddenly!
That's really the way it is!
Xie Toad also let out a long laugh and said, "Immeasurable Tianzun, Xu Ye has finally made a return, he is right, he told the truth!"
Wang Qilin asked, "Dao Chief, do you know what's going on?"
Xie Toad smiled and said, "Yes, the old Taoist priest understands, understands everything!"
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"
"This place is not the ancestral shrine of the Wang family, but a sacrificial ground! Ah San said that the outer wall here has been torn down several floors and still leaves the current scale, I guess the walls here were very thick before, and there was no door, it was a complete fortress! Someone deliberately built such a fortress to block this sacrificial ground!"
"Ninety-six was reluctant to come in, because it was not a house, it had no door at first, the dog was a gatekeeper, and the building without a door made it very resistant. Although there is a door now, the tengu is a spirit animal, its eyes see things differently from ours, it looks at the true body of all things, and the true body of the Wang family's ancestral shrine is a doorless sacrifice ground!"
Xu Da couldn't help but ask, "What is the sacrificial field?"
"I once said that this well is called the Sacrificial Well, or it can be said to be the Sacrificial Well," Xie Toad waved his hand and did not answer, then pointed to the towers around and asked, "Tell me, this, this, this, this, what are they?"
"Towers. ”
"No, they're the four legs of this sacrificial tripod!"
Xie Toad said: "You think they are towers, but they must be solid, originally built with the intention of giving a sacrificial well as supporting legs, in the past, because they were built high, it is estimated that they were used as towers by the locals to watch the four fields." ”
"I guessed wrong just now, thinking that the mouth of the well was the opening of the sacrifice tripod, and the legs of the tripod were buried in the ground. In fact, what we see is not its mouth, its mouth is open in the underworld, this is a sacrificial tripod that is upside down in the yang to the underworld!"
"The Trojan horse and the waist knife were sent to the underworld as sacrifices, but Xiaobao jumped into the water to scoop up the Trojan horse, and Ah San put the waist knife up, this is really a person in the yang world who snatched things from the underworld, and it was Yin who did everything!"
