"It really isn't normal..."
Back in the underground warehouse where the batch of antiques were hidden in the villa, Xu Shenxing carefully looked at the layout inside, and muttered softly.
Coming here this time did not activate the previous phenomenon of dragging people to a different space. I don't know if the thing would only work on one person once, or if the shady knew that it was useless to Xu Shenxing so it didn't activate it.
In short, after carefully observing the layout in the warehouse, Xu Shenxing did not find traces of formations or spells that were complex enough to be activated for special situations.
However, the "abnormality" of the warehouse itself was exposed under Xu Shenxing's careful observation.
First of all, it is logically abnormal. There are quite a lot of antiques in this warehouse. Even Xu Shenxing, who does not understand antiques, can roughly know that many things in it are expensive. 〇 Part-time jobs for snacks, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford them for the rest of my life.
But it’s fine if there are only these things, but there are many strange things placed in some antiques in the underground warehouse, such as a bunch of dogtail grass inserted in an antique flower screen; three steamed buns placed in a blue and white porcelain plate ; boiled water in a sapphire wine bottle...
In addition, Xu Shenxing's sensitivity to ordinary energies is very slow because of the magic power sealed in his body that is enough to squeeze and play with the earth like a ball of mud—it's not that he can't sense ordinary energies, but that he can't sense ordinary energies. In other words, the power in a battery is almost the same level as the energy generated by a nuclear bomb explosion. If you don't experience it carefully, you can't tell the size of the two.
Only after careful observation and perception can one be able to determine the magnitude of a certain energy through some reference objects around.
In the underground warehouse, in addition to the electrical energy carried by the wires buried in the walls, another special energy flows.
Xu Shenxing had never seen this kind of energy on earth, it was neither the true essence of Qin Xingyan, nor the demonic power carried by monsters, nor was it like the divine power of a god.
What I have to say is somewhat similar to the magic power or spiritual power used by the onmyoji lady Huakaiin Yuyuan who met in Fusang.
It's just that compared to the far-reaching spell power of Huakaiyuan, this power flowing in the warehouse air is thicker and colder, and it also has some weirdness. Even after careful experience, Xu Shenxing has the illusion of smelling blood .
This strange power wove a big net, linking most of the antiques in the entire underground warehouse together, including the conspicuous Three Kings Tomb Stele.
Xu Shenxing felt that if the shady was willing, any antique connected by this power could create a real and illusory illusion like the Three Kings Tomb in a different space.
— and indeed it is. What Xu Shenxing didn't know was that if it wasn't him but other ordinary people who were recruited before, even if he could escape the pursuit of the goat-headed monster sculpture, he would be eroded by the thousand-year-old resentment in the illusion of the Three Kings Tomb. Become insane, or even directly brain dead.
And Xu Shenxing himself is immune to all illusions, and his mental power is even more powerful. Even if he didn't wave his hand to smash the different space at that time in the illusion, in the end the illusion would be too far behind his mental power, which would lead to self-impairment. It collapsed, revealing the original appearance of the underground warehouse.
After wandering around the underground warehouse for a while, Xu Shenxing took out his mobile phone and found that there was still a signal here, so he called Qin Xingyan and described what he saw to the girl, wanting to see if he could get some information from her .
Originally, he didn't expect too much. After all, the energy flowing in this space is too weird, not like the power system of a monk. Although Xingyan Ameng knows a lot about cultivation, but for Other aspects of supernatural knowledge are not even comparable to Miyama Chihaya who was just an ordinary person (actually a living god) a month ago.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xingyan really knew some of these ways.
"The dog's tail grass probably symbolizes the Taoist Yunzhan. Yunzhan's original function is to drive away mosquitoes and the like, but now it can be extended to drive away all kinds of unnecessary things; if I guessed correctly, the three steamed buns should be separated. It is stuffed with pork, beef and mutton. These three are the so-called "three animals" in the past, and the steamed bun itself has an allusion... "
"Is it Zhuge Liang?"
Xu Shenxing had heard of this rumor, so he asked casually.
Although steamed buns in some places now refer to the kind of pure noodle steamed buns without fillings, dating back to a more ancient era, steamed buns actually had stuffing.
According to legend, when Zhuge Liang pacified Nanman, he needed to cross a big river, but the water in the big river was so turbulent that bridges and boats could not be built. The local people said that only by using human heads to sacrifice to the river god, the river would calm down.
Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to kill civilians in order to cross the river, and took their heads to sacrifice to the river god, so he slaughtered sheep and pigs, wrapped the meat in dough, called "steamed buns", and threw them into the river instead of human heads to sacrifice. As a result, the river was calm Down, and steamed buns have become a widely spread Chinese snack and have been passed down to the present.
"That's right, the steamed bun itself originated as a sacrificial ritual, and it can be used as a tribute. When the meat stuffing contained in it is complete with pigs, cows, and sheep, the effect of the sacrifice will be several times better, and many ceremonies It can be used universally, and it is the cheapest and most useful ritual and formation core in this era, not one of them."
"..."
How should I put it, the ceremonial objects of this era are unexpectedly civilianized.
"I'm not sure about the last sapphire wine bottle, but if there are no accidents, the water in it is probably not boiled water, but rainwater. This kind of water was also mentioned in "Journey to the West", and it belongs to rootless water. , was considered to be the cleanest water in ancient China... Although modern technology has broken this statement, in many cases, the main thing that constitutes a ceremony or formation is not the effect of the item itself, but the meaning contained in it."
"The dog's tail grass drives away interference, the three steamed buns serve as the core, and the rootless water drives the aura. As long as they are placed properly, these three can form a very common formation."
After speaking, Qin Xingyan explained the situation of the formation to Xu Shenxing in detail.
After she finished speaking, the expression on Xu Shenxing's face also turned into a look of enlightenment.
"Thank you. If it goes well, maybe I can go home for dinner after this matter is resolved."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shenxing left the warehouse and walked slowly towards the lobby of the villa.
