Chapter 464: Finding a Way
Only then did Tess put down her food and said to McCann, "Mr. McCann, I have a matter that I would like to ask for your opinion. ”
McCann had just picked up the beer and brought it to his lips, and was about to drink it, when he heard Tess's words, he quickly stopped, put the beer on the table, and said politely, "Ms. Acheson, do you have any questions you want to ask me? ”
Tess nodded, and then said, "I have a hair here, can you help me see it?"
"Hair?" McCann was surprised when he heard this, apparently for a moment, unable to figure out why the other party had asked him for a hair.
Tess added: "This hair, not your average hair, it has some ...... There are some ......" Tess hesitated for a moment when she said of the hair, but she didn't know how to describe it, so she had to stop, and continued, "Anyway...... This hair is different from normal hair, Mr. McCann, you are well-informed, can you help me see it?"
"Absolutely. McCann smiled and agreed.
Zhang heard the answer between the two on the side, and quickly stopped eating, and said with a smile: "Unusual hair, Ms. Acheson, if you don't mind, can you let me see it?" ”
Tess was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed, "Of course you can, Zhang, even if you don't say it, I originally planned to invite you, and if you are willing to take the initiative to help, I can't ask for it." "Since the first time I met, Tess has had a very good impression of Zhang, thankfully, although I repeated it yesterday. Zhang and McCann's personalities have not changed.
Zhang smiled: "That's really good, I have never seen ordinary hair." Where's your hair, Ms. Acheson?"
Tess then took out her hair, put it in front of them, and beckoned, "Look. ”
"Huh!" Zhang's face showed a slight look of surprise, "Black hair!"
"Yes, Zhang. Tess nodded, "If nothing else, you and the owner of this hair." Maybe from the same place. ”
"Oh! Is it also from country C?" Zhang listened to Tess's words, and his interest immediately increased.
Tess nodded.
Zhang stared at the hair a few more times, and then asked Tess, "What is so special about this hair?"
Officer Bacon: They see Tess asking about hair. All stopped. Quietly listen to what Zhang and McCann will have to say.
"I'm sorry. Zhang, I can't tell, this hair. Whether it's special or not, only you can know if you've seen it. Tess sighed.
"Oh!" Zhang said 'oh', looking at the look on his face, obviously after listening to Tess's words, his interest in this hair became a little stronger.
As for McCann, McCann never spoke, his eyes were fixed on the hair, and then he finally couldn't help but reach out and pick up the hair. As soon as he picked up his hair, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of surprise, and the look on his face was extremely surprised.
This look of surprise naturally immediately fell into everyone's eyes. Tess hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" McCann, what's wrong with this hair?"
The look of surprise on McCann's face did not diminish in the slightest, and when Tess asked, he immediately exclaimed in surprise and said loudly: "What a powerful power, what a surging magic." ”
"What?" Tess immediately cried out when she heard this, and McCann felt the same as Officer Terry, as soon as she got the hair, she felt the surging power in the hair.
At the same time, Officer Bacon, Emily, and Corinna also showed surprised looks on their faces, you look at me, I look at you, and no one interjected. However, Officer Terry had a faint look of excitement on his face, he had long felt the power in his hair, but it could not be confirmed, it was McCann, and he had the same feeling, which made him more sure that his previous feeling was not wrong.
McCann thought that Tess didn't hear what he was saying, and said again: "This hair, there is a surging magic in the hair, full of magical power, ma'am, where did you get this hair?"
"Where?" Tess paused for a moment, but did not answer, and continued to ask, "McCann, are you really sure there is a powerful force in this. ”
"It's true, I can feel it clearly. McCann was sure, and his expression was indescribably solemn.
"How powerful?" Tess asked, and after asking, she hurriedly added, lest she not speak carefully enough, "I mean, how powerful is that power?"
"How powerful?" McCann pondered for a moment, sorting out his words, and then shook his head again, unsure, "I can't tell, it feels like an ocean, and it seems to be a world." ”
"An ocean, a world?" was similar to Officer Terry's statement not long ago, and both of them felt that there was an almost world-like power in this hair. Tess repeated, and couldn't help but glance at Officer Terry, a look of surprise on her face.
Officer Terry spread his hands and shrugged, "Look, I've said that a long time ago. ”
Tess didn't answer him, turned to McCann again, and continued to ask, "Mr. McCann, can you see what this hair is used for?"
"How?" McCann asked, not understanding Tess's words for a moment.
Tess hurriedly added, "I mean, do you know what kind of method can be used to stimulate the power in this hair and use it for me." ”
"This ......" McCann was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment, he shook his head regretfully and said, "I'm sorry, I can only feel that there is a powerful force in this, but I don't know how to use it." ”
"It's a pity, Lady Acheson, that I let you down and couldn't help you," he said, returning her hair to Tess. ”
Tess took her hair over, "It doesn't matter, you can see that there is a great power in this hair, and it is already a great help to me." Saying that, I couldn't help but show a look of disappointment on my face.
But Officer Terry listened to her words and spread his hands helplessly. Smiled wryly. There's a great power in the hair, he's already said it. Tess, however, did not believe it until she was proven by McCann, which made him feel helpless.
Zhang stared at the hair in Tess's hand, and suddenly said, "Madam, can you let me take a look at that hair of yours?"
"Of course, Zhang, I was going to ask you to help me take a look at it again. Hearing this, Tess hurriedly handed her hair to Zhang.
Zhang took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, a moment later. He said, "There is indeed a strong force. ”
"Can you feel it?" Tess was startled again. I couldn't help but ask out loud. After asking, I felt that I was asking too much, Zhang, like McCann, belonged to the people in the dense forest. The same disappears every day. It will appear every day. It's the same repeating his own yesterday, since Ma Ken can feel it, Zhang must be able to feel it too.
Zhang nodded. At the same time, he realized something, and said strangely: "Madam, listen to what you mean, it seems to say, you can't feel the power in this hair?"
"Ahh ”
"That's weird. Zhang took the hair, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Madam, who and where did you get this hair?" I mean, do you have any other characteristics on this person's body besides that he is from country C, like me? As far as I know, if it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible for him to come up with such a hair full of magical power. ”
"Zhang, I don't quite understand what you mean, what do you mean by ordinary people, and what kind of characteristics do you refer to?" Tess asked suspiciously.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask in detail enough. Zhang smiled and continued: "In our country, there is a profession called Taoist priest, according to legends, of course, it is just a legend, and there is no zài in reality. Legend has it that the profession of Taoist priest is usually proficient in a kind of ability called Taoism, and the main purpose of Taoism is to catch ghosts......"
After a pause, he said, "Is this person you are talking about, is he a Taoist priest, or is it another warlock, or a monk or something?"
"Neither. Tess shook her head and said, "However, he is also a believer, and his belief seems to be in the Cult of Retribution." ”
"Cult of Karma. Xu has also joined the church?" Emily couldn't help but cry out in surprise when she heard this.
Teskey said, "Can't you join the Church? According to him, he came here to preach." ”
"Missionary?" Emily frowned slightly, Tess's statement was obviously different from what she knew, when he saw Xu Mo in the car, Xu Mo had not joined the Fruit God Cult, how could he become a missionary now?
"Fruit Retribution God Sect?" Zhang shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, I heard you say that the hair came from such a person, and I thought he was some kind of monk and Taoist, but it turned out that it wasn't." Alas, legends are legends after all, and they cannot be taken seriously. ”
When Emily heard this, she couldn't help but interject, "I've heard of monks and Taoists, and it is said that they are also a kind of religious belief, well, by the way, are Taoist priests catching ghosts?
"Hehe!" Zhang Wenyan smiled, "You must be mistaken, it is the monk who subdues the demon, the Taoist priest is good at catching ghosts, and as for the fortune telling, it is the business of the Xiangshi." Taoist monks also have fortune telling, but that's a side hustle. As for the Taoist robe for fortune telling, it is because the Taoist robe is wide and more comfortable to wear, and in ancient times, many ordinary people also wore it like that at home. ”
"Oh!" Emily was stunned by what he said, he only knew a little about the culture of Country C. When he heard about the demon subjugation, his heart moved, he thought for a while, and then asked: "By the way, I heard that your country had a lot of special methods for catching ghosts and demons in ancient times, can you tell us about it?"
The others listened to Emily's words, and after being stunned for a moment, they immediately understood that the reason why Emily asked this was obviously to find a way to deal with demons.
"Ghost hunting, demon hunting. I don't know much about this. Zhang recalled: "I only know that the peachwood sword wards off evil spirits, wicker fights ghosts, and as for other demons and monsters, maybe you can use an ink bucket." ”
"Ink fountain?" Emily was stunned again, not only her, but everyone else was stunned, the ink fountain was a tool used by carpenters, of course they knew, but they didn't know what kind of use the ink fountain could do. He said, "Why?"
Zhang Dao: "Because the line that pops out of the ink fountain is straight, it represents the rules of integrity. Therefore, a qiē evil is afraid of ink fountains. Of course, this is just a statement, and it may not be true. ”
"Oh!" Emily couldn't help but let out an 'oh' when she heard this, her expression was slightly disappointed, "Mr. Zhang, if we encounter a demon, is there anything that can help us?"
"Demon?" said a look of surprise on his face, then glanced at McCann. continued: "I just told you this. It's just a legend, and if you really encounter a demon, it may not work. But McCann ......"
McCann picked up, "I'll tell you." Sheet. This cottage of mine. It's called a safety hut. If you encounter a demon, you can stay in this hut and be spared. ”
Emily shook her head and said, "No." If we could have stayed here, we would have stayed here a long time ago, and now what we want is to get out of here, so we have to find a way, preferably one that can both defeat the demons and help us get out of here. ”
"Demons, are there really demons?" asked McCann, surprised.
The words had already been spoken, and everyone had no intention of hiding it any longer, so they nodded at the same time.
"If that's the case, it's really a problem. McCann said with a solemn expression.
Tess hurriedly asked, "Mr. McCann, you say, can this hair of mine resist the devil?"
McCann hesitated for a moment before he said, "It stands to reason that it is possible, this hair contains such a powerful energy, and it will definitely not be afraid of a demon, but the key is how to stimulate the power inside." ”
"Well, there is still no way. Tess sighed in disappointment.
Then he looked at Zhang again, the hair was still in Zhang's hand, and Tess said, "Zhang, have you thought of any way to stimulate the power in the hair?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am. Like McCann, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. With a look of regret on his face, Zhang returned the hair to Tess, "Although I can feel the power in this hair, I don't know what to do to stimulate this power." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Tess again: "By the way, ma'am, didn't the owner of this hair tell you how to stimulate the power inside?"
"I forgot to ask. Tess looked frustrated.
"Alas!" Zhang sighed again, "that's a pity. After a pause, he said: "However, I built you, if there is really a demon, you better stay here and don't walk around, McCann didn't deceive you just now, this hut is indeed called a safe hut, and like the legendary ink bucket, you can't enter this hut if you are evil, evil, unjust, and filthy." As long as you stay in this room and close the door, you are safe, once you go out, it is difficult to say, when you encounter demons, no one dares to guarantee that the demons will not kill you. ”
"By the way, this hut ......" Emily suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Two gentlemen, why does this hut of yours have such magic as it does now, can you tell us about it?"
"This ......," McCann and Zhang were immediately asked.
Zhang smiled, "You should ask McCann this question, he is the owner of the house." He turned to McCann.
McCann shook his head, "Don't ask me, man, I don't know, this hut seems to have been there since it first appeared." All I knew was that it was a safety hut, but I didn't know why it was the way it was. ”
This statement, like everything else that happens in the jungle, is like a computer program, and it has been set up a long time ago.
"Oh!" Emily let out an 'oh' in disappointment, and the other people looked a little disappointed.
After a while, Emily didn't give up, "So...... Is there any way to get the power out of the hut?"
"No, you're thinking too much, Emily. McCann shook his head, "This hut, once it is destroyed, the power above it will also disappear, you better not fight its idea." ”
Speaking of which, the tone couldn't help but change strictly.
Emily hurriedly said, "I'm just asking, Mr. McCann, don't worry. ”
McCann gave her a deep look and said no more.
"That's right. Corinna suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "Two gentlemen, what if we cut off this hair, I mean, if we cut it off, can we stimulate the energy inside?"
"Cut it off?" McCann and Zhang's expressions immediately became stern, and they said solemnly, "You'd better not do that." ”
"Why?" asked Tess this time. Officer Terry also held the same opinion before, and the main reason she asked was to see if the statements of these two people were the same as those of Officer Terry.
Zhang replied: "This hair, once it is destroyed, the consequences are extremely severe. ”
"How strict is it?" asked Tess again.
McCann said: "The sky is falling apart, the world is (apocalyptic), so I advise you that it is better not to do this." ”
This statement is still exactly the same as what Officer Terry said, Tess couldn't help but look at the others, and Emily and the others couldn't help but show a solemn look on their faces.
If Officer Terry was the only one who held this opinion before, and they didn't really care about it, now that McCann and Zhang both said so, they couldn't help but take this statement to heart.
Emily thought for a moment, thought of something again, and asked, "By the way, two gentlemen, have you heard of Old Lady Seth?" (to be continued......)
