Chapter 465 You think too much
According to Tufu Wang, the Wang family of the Tu family went deep into Shili Mountain more than once and searched through every plant and tree there, but they never found any trace of the Bai family's grandmaster.
If we go to Shili Mountain again, we might still be following the same old path of the Wang family.
I let Feng Ruoxing drive, and I and Ye Yang studied the map several times in the back seat but found no clues.
I put down the map and said to myself: "Are we going in the wrong direction?"
Ye Yang said in a deep voice: "You have already adjusted the direction once."
The first time I adjusted my direction was to get my mind out of tomb robbing and demon subjugation. The Wang family could never find clues because they fell into their usual mindset of looking for demons to find Bai Hongzhen.
The places where monsters can live are ancient tombs, caves and other hidden places. It seems that Shili Mountain does not have these two things, which is why the Wang family is in a deadlock.
What I'm thinking about is how to find a prison!
Since ancient times, prisons where felons are held are not only heavily guarded by soldiers, but the external environment is also one of the factors that prevent prisoners from escaping. Prisons are surrounded by the sea, surrounded by deserts, or in bitter cold places where there is no human habitation for hundreds of miles.
I have been looking for dangerous terrain on the map, but there is no such place on the map!
According to the signs on the map, most places cannot even stop herbal collectors who often go into the mountains, let alone experts in the art.
I picked up the map again: "No! There must be something here that I didn't expect."
Feng Ruoxing reminded: "Li Po, have you ever thought about it, there are actually no prisoners in that prison."
My eyes suddenly lit up: "Keep talking."
Feng Ruoxing said: "Think about it, from Wei Junyong on up, there are at least three generations of the Wei family guarding the prison. The prisoner in the cell cannot be a human being, unless he can survive on his own life like us."
"It would be even more unreliable to say that what is being held in the cell is a monster."
"Whether it is in the eyes of practitioners of the art or in the eyes of the secular imperial power, there is no need to imprison the monsters. The best way is to kill them directly and get rid of them once and for all."
"After these two are put aside, what role does the prison have? It can only be a prison. The existence of the prison is to suppress something. Or to seal the demon!"
I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air: Feng Ruoxing's words are not unreasonable. Moreover, according to Feng Ruoxing's thinking, there is indeed such a place on Shili Mountain that is suitable for building a town prison.
Seeing that I was silent, Feng Ruoxing thought I was embarrassed because I had not guessed the specific location of the cell, so he quickly explained: "I can guess that there is a prison in the mountains because I come from the line of judges."
"People who are in the judge's lineage have some understanding of prison matters."
"I can think of this because of Wei Junyong's words. He said that old Wei would not enter the house until he came home. He would have to wait until 'thunder rings three times and rain falls' before entering the house."
"The sound of thunder quells demons, and the passing rain washes away sins."
"So, I've been thinking that Old Wei didn't dare to enter the house because he was afraid that the evil spirit on his body would be brought into the house. If you think about it this way, I think there should be a prison there."
I shook my head slightly and said, "That's not what I was thinking about."
"I was thinking: If we rush to Shili Mountain now, will we be breaking a taboo that has existed for hundreds of years?"
"You are thinking too much!" Ye Yang said calmly: "There is a certain time when an evil devil is born. When a devil wants to be born, he can still break free from the seal even if no one is around."
"When the demon is born, even if you take off the seal with your own hands, someone will take action to suppress it."
I thought about it and said, "That's right! Feng Ruoxing is accelerating. We must get to the Sitting Buddha Stone in Shili Mountain before noon. That is the only location on the map suitable for building a town prison."
The Wang family specially introduced the Sitting Buddha Stone on the map. The naturally formed stone looks like a Buddha statue. It seems to have been deliberately placed on the top of a huge rock. From a distance, it looks like a Buddha statue enshrined in the mountain.
It was not yet noon when I arrived near the Sitting Buddha Stone. I looked up at the Sitting Buddha Stone covered with moss and said, "This place is surrounded by cliffs. The sun cannot reach the Sitting Buddha Stone before noon."
"When noon arrives, the sun will shine directly on the stone, creating a wonderful scene of the Buddha's light shining all over the place. At that time, we will calculate the area covered by the Buddha's light, and we can probably calculate where the entrance to the dungeon is."
While I was talking, the light above my head began to become stronger and stronger, and the sunlight falling in the sky was moving towards the stone top of the sitting Buddha. Feng Ruoxing suddenly said: "Li Po, look carefully at that stone Buddha! Stone Buddha
Did the Buddha shed tears?"
When I looked at the stone Buddha sitting in shock, I saw a trace of tears on the stone Buddha's face.
When I looked carefully, I could clearly see a teardrop falling from the stone Buddha's eye.
Ye Yang put his hand on the hilt of the sword and took a step forward: "The stone Buddha sheds tears, which is a sign of great misfortune! The monster is about to be born."
I was in shock when I suddenly felt the light in the sky dim. When I looked up, the blazing sun in the sky had long been obscured by dark clouds. The dark clouds seemed to have been pushed to the top of the mountain by invisible hands, sealing them tightly.
