Chapter 19 Infiltrate the Village
If there are magic soldier talismans hidden in this distance, it is equivalent to someone blocking a "dyke" at the water's edge. People who drown in the water nest can only walk along the dike and do not reach Zhenshui.
We can't get to the shore before the house.
Everything in front of me shows that there is something extraordinary hidden in the river near Yulu Village, otherwise there would be no warlocks guarding it.
That old Liu Tou definitely didn't tell me the truth, at least he didn't finish the whole story.
I also know that the fastest and most direct way to uncover the mystery is to jump into the water and see what's going on under the water.
But only a fool would do that.
Before I knew anything, I just jumped into the water hole, and most of the time I ended up being with Wang Li. I was not interested in marrying her in secret.
There must be some kind of connection between Shuiwozi and Yulu Village. I don’t dare to go into things in the water. I can only touch the secrets on land first, and then turn around to deal with Shuiwozi. If I want to reveal the secret, the safest way is
The solution is to find Old Liu Tou.
While I was rapidly calculating countermeasures in my head, I suddenly felt a golden light flash before my eyes. My body felt like it was being burned and it hurt so much that black smoke started to rise from my shoulders.
When I suddenly looked up, I saw a Bagua mirror hanging on the big tree at the entrance of the village. The golden light reflected from the mirror happened to hit the place where I was standing just now.
I turned into a half-ghost, which has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that I am afraid of things that ghosts are afraid of.
When I encounter ordinary peach wood swords, Five Emperors' Money and the like, they can make me disgusted or uncomfortable at most. But when I encounter magic weapons blessed by real martial arts masters, they can really hurt me.
The mirror hanging at the entrance of the village is just like this.
If I'm not mistaken, that mirror is the second line of defense of Fish Basket Village.
Just when I was trying to disperse the negative energy from my body, Old Liu Tou had already rushed under the big tree, holding the mirror in one hand and saying, "Go one by one, don't be in a hurry."
When the villagers passed by Old Liu Tou one by one, he would take a mirror and look at each other to make sure they were fine before letting them pass.
It seems that the incident of me being burned by the golden light just now has attracted the attention of Old Liu Tou.
When the villagers walked towards the village one by one, I hid in the distance to dissipate the yin energy from my body, and quietly followed Old Liu Tou into the village.
At first, I didn’t know how good Old Liu Tou was, so I didn’t dare to follow him too close. Before I got very far, I discovered that Old Liu Tou’s skills were not very good.
There are two types of warlocks in the world: one mainly relies on talismans, formations, and spells to drive away ghosts and catch monsters; the other relies on their own force to fight monsters.
I belong to the latter, and Old Liu Tou should be the former. The martial arts skills of the Talisman Warlock are relatively low. He can fight ghosts, but he may not be able to fight people. This is the reason why Old Liu Tou didn't notice me.
I followed Old Liu Tou into the village entrance, and then I discovered the third strange thing about Yuzhu Village. Yuzhu Village was actually paved with concrete floors.
Rural areas in the Northeast basically have dirt roads, and only some model villages and model villages can build roads. Yulu Village is obviously not such a place.
What's even more strange is that I saw bluestone slabs under a piece of cracked cement. In other words, Yulu Village first laid bluestone slabs on the ground, and then laid cement on top. Moreover, those slabs were already several years old.
In the past, there were very few villages that could pave their roads with bluestone. Unless there was some prominent figure in the village, they would receive such treatment.
In Yulu Village, there are only bluestone roads, but no archway or gatehouse. Does this mean that the stone slabs are still blocking something?
Is Fish Basket Village using bluestone slabs to block things that penetrate into the ground from under the water tank?
Old Liu Tou has long known that something can drill holes?
When I looked at the back of Old Liu Tou, I saw him stopping at the first house at the entrance of the village. He also squatted on the ground, as if he was reaching out to touch something under the roadside wall.
After groping for a long time, Old Liu Tou took out a three-legged incense burner from the hole in the wall and lit three pillars of yellow incense in the corner.
When the green smoke curled up from the incense burner, my eyes darkened slightly: Old Liu Tou was also attracting ghosts.
No, it should be said that when Yulu Village was built, someone deliberately left a location to attract ghosts.
Although not all rural people understand Feng Shui, they strictly adhere to the rules left by their ancestors.
When building houses and roads, one of them is not to leave crossroads in the village.
Anyone who has been to the countryside will find that there are at most T-junctions on the small roads in the village. There are no crossroads. Even if there is a need to build a crossroad, the intersections on both sides will be staggered by a certain distance and will never appear like a road.
Standard cross.
According to Shu Dao, this is done to prevent ghosts from appearing in the village out of thin air and disturbing the neighbors.
Looking at the houses in Yulu Village, this village is quite old, and the people in the village will definitely know such rules.
