Chapter 184 Return of Po Xi (Part 1)
-
Ye Wujiu, who was guarding in front of the arched mountain wall, vaguely felt that something was wrong. The moss and ferns growing on the wall seemed whiter. The sun is getting brighter and clearer, which means that after midnight, after entering the eighth day between ghost husbands usually committing crimes, this place becomes more vibrant.
He put his palms on the mountain wall, closed his eyes and felt it carefully. He felt that the arched mountain wall was like the heart of a large creature that had been silent for a long time, and was reviving little by little.
The place where the strongest vibration was found was inside the half-moon-shaped water channel. He looked into the canal. Perhaps it was an illusion, the water surface seemed to be higher - no, it was not an illusion.
Even the heavy stone wall inside the canal was trembling slightly, as if there was some huge energy filling it from bottom to top.
Everything is changing.
This is located in the "Gen" position of the ghost market. In the Bagua, the number of Gen is seven, which means the end and the beginning, and it itself represents the cycle of life and death. However, Gen is a "death gate" among the Qimen, but after the change of time, it becomes "vital" - Ye Wujiu made some calculations and found that the "duty gate" here has become a "life gate", which coincides again. The second symbol of the cycle of life and death.
I'm afraid there is something that wants to take advantage of the situation to bring the dead back to life.
.
"Hurry and invite the adults and Brother Wei!" Ye Wujiu hurriedly gave orders to the people around him.
After Yan Bi looked around, where had Ding Heran gone? Why didn't he come back after so long of routine inspection?
“Have you seen Commander Ding?”
The Resentment Master who was randomly stopped by Ye Wujiu shook his head blankly, then slapped his head, “Look at my memory, half a stick of incense is in front of me. I seem to have seen Commander Ding at the entrance of the ghost market. It should be him! He was chasing a hunchbacked old man. "
Hunchbacked old man?
I'm afraid he also discovered something unusual, Ye Wujiu thought to himself, but there was no way he could leave here, so he ordered a group of mobile personnel to look for Ding Heran and see if he needed support. The rest of the remaining mobile personnel gathered in the seventh hole.
Just as they were talking, many fine and dense bubbles had appeared in the stagnant water channel, and they were rising upwards.
.
The hunchbacked old man returned home and stood facing the wall with his hands down, his back bent and motionless.
Ding Heran had poked through the window paper and looked at him for a while. The more he looked at him, the weirder he felt, so he gently pulled out the dagger suitable for close combat from his waist, suddenly used Qinggong to jump in, and stabbed the old man!
At the moment when the dagger almost touched the material of the old man's back, Ding Heran realized that he had no intention of avoiding it, and Ding Heran turned around and got out of the way with a kite.
Only then did he see that the old man was sluggish, drooling, and staring straight at the wall nearby, like a puppet on strings - this appearance reminded him of what he had seen in Sikong Mansion before. The way Guo Qingyun looked when he was hit by the puppet water, it seems... it was probably caused by a magpie!
The old man must have had contact with her!
Ding Heran quickly took out the Qingming water he carried with him and gave it to the old man to drink. This was a potion he had prepared before departure to quickly restore consciousness in case of miasma or drug addiction. He did not expect this. Come in handy soon.
In just one cup of tea, the old man coughed a few times and took a deep breath, apparently regaining his consciousness. Ding Heran stepped forward and helped him find a chair to sit down on.
"I won't hurt you, don't be afraid."
Even as he said this, the old man who suddenly woke up could not hide the fear in his eyes.
"You, what do you want to do? I really don't have much money..." The old man just thought he had encountered a robber.
Ding Heran thought for a while, took out some broken silver from his pocket and put it into the old man's hand. The old man looked at the money more puzzled and became inexplicably quiet.
"Old man, how did you get drugged, but what kind of weirdo did you meet?"
The old man's face was full of astonishment. He wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it - wasn't it strange enough that this man suddenly appeared in front of him and gave him money?
However, he still thought about it carefully according to Ding Heran's words, but he was surprised to find that his memory in the past few days was completely blank. He couldn't remember who he had met, whether he had set up a stall, whether the business was good or not, he couldn't remember at all. ——Did he really encounter something weird?
“But all the recent memories are gone?”
Looking at the old man’s appearance, Ding Heran guessed it. He didn’t expect that this magpie’s “anti-reconnaissance awareness” was so good. Two back-ups were left, not only using the puppet potion, but also other potions to erase the old man's memory.
As soon as he came out of the old man's house, he met the grudge-breaker who came to reinforce him. Ding Heran briefly explained a few words and asked if there was anything unusual in tracing the old man's recent whereabouts through side interviews. It also showed that the magpie could He can take on the appearance of anyone and hide in the ghost market, so he needs to be more careful when patrolling.
.
By the time Ding Heran returned to Qidong, Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen had also arrived. Zhuang Yuheng went to meet Ruan Mianmian as planned, but did not follow.
Song Weichen looked a little wilted. She was in poor health and was picked up from her sleep. Mo Tingfeng carried her here and fell asleep again.
At this moment, she was leaning against the mountain wall with her arms folded, watching Mo Tingfeng adjust the angle of the Bagua Mirror to face the water channel and play with the seven-hole Tai Chi window. The Tai Chi window was also opened and closed inside and outside, forming a A yin and yang pattern.
Are you dazzled? Song Weichen rubbed her eyes, and she saw a silvery thread, not much thicker than spider silk, refracted from the water channel through the Bagua mirror to the Tai Chi window, and finally fell into the seven holes. "What is this?" she asked Mo Tingfeng, pointing to the "line".
"What did you see?" Mo Tingfeng was a little nervous. Maybe it was because he was pure yang and immune to yin and evil, but he didn't see anything.
"There is a very thin line shining here, which leads to the seven holes."
Song Weichen pointed and gestured, but this time she was cautious and did not use her hands to Touch that light.
Mo Tingfeng quickly ordered people to check if there was any abnormality inside the seven holes and reported that everything was normal.
"Weiwei, don't touch the line. Is there anything unusual about taking a look at the seven holes? Heran, protect her."
Song Weichen looked in and saw that the end of the light was pointing at that time. I saw the position of the man with the Chinese character face, but there was nothing there at the moment.
She described it truthfully. Mo Tingfeng pondered for a moment and ordered Ding Heran to continue guarding Song Weichen. Then he asked a grudge-breaker to stand in his place and hold the Bagua Mirror in the same posture, while he greeted Together with Ye Wujiu, he leaned into the canal holding a candle - since the light that Song Weichen saw started from the canal and ended at the Seven-hole Tai Chi Point, there must be something interesting in the canal at this moment.
The two of them checked the mountain walls in the canal one on the left and the other on the right as they walked in. The last time they entered, the water was only knee-deep. This time, when they entered again, the water was already up to their waists.
The mountain wall as thick as a city wall a few steps away was still there, but Mo Tingfeng obviously felt something was wrong, not just because he was angry and the candle in his hand was extremely bright, but because …but…
The mark he had scratched with his dagger when he came in last time has now risen above his head! The position changed by a full twenty centimeters, which was definitely not an illusion.
It means that the Wanjun mountain wall is slowly rising upwards.
This cannot be done by human ingenuity, it must be purely the tides of the sun and the moon and the force of nature to have its power. The scene here corresponds to the phenomenon of Qimen Dunjia's "death door" turning into a "life door" .
If all this is not a coincidence, but Grandma Huang really has such an ability to observe the sky and the earth, and her goals are extremely clear from choosing the location of the ghost market to forming the soul-locking formation, she is really a very difficult opponent.
.
"Ting Feng, have you discovered anything?"
Song Weichen's voice sounded outside the canal. The little girl was worried and curious when they didn't go out for a long time. She saw the "light" emitted from the canal getting more and more... It was getting thicker and thicker, and she couldn't help but come over and poke her head around.
The sound of "Ting Feng" made him feel softer than ever, and he responded repeatedly, wishing he could return to her immediately.
"Weiwei, don't get too close, it may not be safe here."
While Mo Tingfeng reminded her tightly, he took off the sword from his waist and probed the stone wall. Sure enough, it was a perfect fit. The area has risen nearly thirty centimeters, and it is estimated that it will be fully opened in less than two hours. Based on this inference, the sampan Song Weichen saw that day must be behind this stone wall. There is no doubt that there is running water and an exit here.
But An Zhuang and the Grudge Breaker who came to explore the cave before were right. At that time, the Dead Gate was guarded, and there was naturally a closed and depressed atmosphere.
Out of the ditch, Song Weichen handed him a brocade handkerchief to wipe his hands, and Mo Tingfeng couldn't help but put her in his arms.
"Are you sleepy?"
"Boss, you are leading the way. How dare I, an employee, complain about being tired? I'm not sleepy, not sleepy."
Song Weichen walked out of his arms. He broke out and pointed at the "light", "I am telling you that this has become thicker. It used to be as thick as spider silk, but now it is like a hemp rope, and its shape is like a chain."
Following Song Weichen's fingers, Mo Tingfeng looked at the "line" that he could actually see nothing, and came to more inferences in his mind -
"It's possible that this light is indeed a chain, It is the chaos of the illusion that is locked.”
.
Under Mo Tingfeng’s frequent and detailed explanations, Song Weichen finally understood this time——
"Book of Rites: Jiao Te Sheng" contains a description of the direction of the soul, "The soul returns to heaven, and the body returns to earth."
This position is in the Gen Palace, and the five elements belong to earth. At this time, according to Qimen Dunjia, the "Shishi Gate" is the "Kun Palace Death Gate". The five elements also belong to earth, and the two elements are blessed by earth. The earth energy is extremely heavy - in this kind of situation Under such circumstances, those trapped here by the Seven Evils Soul Locking Array will definitely not be the light souls who returned to heaven, but must be the heavy souls who returned to the earth.
This also corresponds to the appearance of chaos and soul that is causing trouble in the illusion.
And now that life and death are from the same sect, he is very angry, and I am afraid that the chaotic soul is about to appear!
