The eggs of the earth are contained in the earth, and there is time in it. At the beginning, the light of the sky produces water, and the white fish grows in the water. Breathing into the air, it transforms me into a journey.
- This is the opening content of the book "Witchcraft", and the following are some specific methods of implementing witchcraft. Fang Fei is reading it attentively at this time, hoping that she can understand it as soon as possible.
Before the film in the developing tank was washed out, Mu Yiran and others took stock of the contents in the package and saw Shao Ling's Xun: "What's the difference between this Xun and the one you used before?"
Shao Ling has also seen this Xun many times: "I haven't played Xun for many years. When I was a child, I used Tao Xun, which is a nine-hole Xun. This Xun is Shi Xun, ancient Xun, no Sound hole, only one blow hole."
Wei Dong couldn't understand: "Fortunately, you understand. If I were to change it, I would definitely not know that it was a musical instrument. I thought it was a strangely shaped little pot. How can this Xun play loudly without a hole?"
Shao Ling picked up the xun and looked at the blow hole: "I'm afraid this kind of xun can't blow the rhythm. The ancients used it to imitate birdsong or beast calls to catch prey. It is found in Hemudu and Yangshao cultural sites. This kind of ancient xun with only one blow hole has been unearthed, and this should be the most primitive form of xun, at least six or seven thousand years ago."
"Six or seven thousand years, "Up and Down Five Thousand Years" I haven't had time to read it." Luo Xun sighed with emotion, but Xinchun seemed to be very interested in this Shixun, and kept jumping to reach it .
"I think this Xun is shaped like an egg. I don't know whether this thing has information value or practical value." Zhu Haowen said.
Qin Ci quickly understood what Zhu Haowen meant: "It's just that we still don't understand what the 'Earth Egg' mentioned in the book is. Is this Xun a hint to the Earth Egg?"
This sentence caught Shao Ling's attention, and he carefully studied the Shixun in his hand: "Actually, the standard shape of the Xun is a flat-bottomed oval. If it is really a hint, there are indeed traces to follow. For example, there are many Tang Dynasty-style buildings and foods in our world, but this Xun must not be Tang-style, because Xun has developed into five holes since the Shang Dynasty, and since then It has become a formal instrument, and it has developed into five or six holes in the Tang Dynasty, and it will never be what it is now."
Wei Dong also started to think: "Why is this so laborious? If we really want to remind us of 'earth eggs', we can just use an egg or an egg-shaped stone to represent it. ?"
Shao Ling: "There is a possibility that the shape of the ground egg itself is like this xun, with a hole at the top."
Zhu Haowen: "There is also a possibility that leaving an egg directly may be blocked by the painting."
"Blocking?" Wei Dong asked.
Zhu Haowen: "Yes, although the things in our package are not brought into the painting, they have a strong connection with ourselves, such as this Xun, which appeared in the package of Shao Ling who can blow Xun, And not elsewhere. If, this is something left by another timeline, I think a large part of the items that give us the prompt information have been blocked, and only the 'correct item' is left, which is Something related to the owner himself."
"If this is the case, these things are likely to be the information prompts sent by another 'us' to us today?" Qin Ci speculated that although he was still confused, he felt that he was getting closer to the truth.
"If you want to say this, then I also have some things in this collection of paintings," Wei Dong picked up his "Wai's Painting Collection", "Look at this page, this is a bunch of Easter eggs, right? Don't you? Don't you think this one is very strange?"
The picture on this page is indeed like a pile of Easter eggs. Each egg is painted with various beautiful patterns. Only the one in the corner is bigger than the other eggs, but there is no pattern, only a thick The waistline wraps around the middle of the egg.
Luo Meng looked at it for a long time: "I don't think so, this line is the pattern of this egg."
"No, I understand my own painting habits," Wei Dong shook his head decisively, "I can't draw an egg like this in a pile of colorful eggs, and the line in the middle of the egg was drawn very heavily by me. Ink, I think it's a reminder."
Wei Dong said and turned to other pages: "Also, I found that there are many blank pages in the pages I have painted, which is really not my habit, and it is definitely not a slippage caused by carelessness, if I If you guessed correctly, there were pictures on these blank pages, but because of the problem of information leakage, the pictures were naturally blocked!"
Natural shielding, everyone has regarded the ulterior motives of the painting as a natural phenomenon.
Everyone flipped through the album and gradually agreed with Wei Dong's statement. Qin Ci said: "So, the shape of this egg is the key point of solving the problem. It is quite possible that these are two characteristics of the 'Earth Egg' at the same time."
Everyone had no objection to Qin Ci's conclusion, and at this time, they all turned their attention to Mu Yiran.
Mu Yiran had already opened the developing tank and took out the two pieces of film: "Look at these negatives first and then analyze them."
Wei Dong and Luo Ye quickly entered the state of "projector projectionists", and first processed a piece of film and put it into the projector: "Is this... the film in Mai Peng's camera?"
"Yes, I think the first photo we take in this world is the most important." Mu Yiran said, "The photos taken last night in other places and other time periods, because there are no people, so there is no picture. What's the point."
As the lights in the room were turned off one by one, the light curtain on the wall gradually became clear. At this time, the picture of the wild scenery was displayed. The contrast of black and white colors was strong, and the whole picture was very layered. If you print out a photo, It should be a great photographic image.
"It's no wonder that Mai Peng is called Mai God," Wei Dong looked at the frames of negatives flashing on the light curtain. "These photographic pictures are really enchanting."
As these landscape paintings and street figures slowly flashed by, the final picture freezes in the familiar world—a wide angle of view, not only the stairs, but the entire corridor.
Indeed, as Mai Peng said when he took the photo, there was a person walking up the stairs. This person was wearing a large robe, and his entire face was snow-white.
"My mother, why is this person so terrifying?" Luo Meng's hands trembled in fright.
"This seems to be Master Wu." Wei Dong looked at the face of the person on the light screen, the snow-white mask was very similar to Fang Fei's mask, "According to the effect of the reverse color, this Master Wu is wearing a pure black mask. ."
Fang Fei also stood by and stared at the light curtain on the wall: "If I judge correctly, this should be a witch from the Cold Night Brigade."
This is the first time the camera has captured the witch, which makes this photo very eerie.
"Look here in the corridor, there is another person." Zhu Haowen pointed to the position on the other side of the photo, "This person is squatting there, and he is relatively small, so it is easy to be ignored."
Soon everyone found a man squatting by the wall in the corridor. This man squatted facing the wall and raised his right hand, as if he was drawing something on the wall.
"This should be a woman," Fang Fei said. "She looks a bit like... But the pattern on the clothes is wrong. None of our members wears this kind of robe with large color blocks."
Even if Fang Fei didn't say it, others felt the same way. The woman who was squatting there looked a bit like Du Lingyu in her hairstyle and figure.
"Don't you think that the pattern on this man's robe is somewhat similar to that of Xiayu?" Wei Dong raised this point.
It is indeed similar, and very similar.
If this person is really Du Lingyu, why is her body covered in blood? What did she write next to the wall
"If she judged correctly, she should have drawn lines on the wall, and all or part of the seven lines on the wall came from her hands." Shao Ling said.
"However, how did you capture so many things? How did Maishen do it?" Luo Meng couldn't help but ask. In his opinion, if a person stood at the shooting position and looked in that direction, it would be impossible for him to suddenly look in that direction. So much to see below the stairs and the whole corridor.
"Probably used a wide-angle lens, which can make the picture wider and the viewing angle wider." Shao Ling replied, "The new phone I bought includes a wide-angle lens, which is definitely not comparable to the lens of a professional camera, but I still go online. Checked some information on wide-angle lenses - wide-angle lenses may create negative space, which is somewhat similar to the blank space in the composition of the picture. Obviously, the wide angle of this photo also creates negative space, but these spaces are not all empty, it seems that there is still something else."
Everyone was staring at the picture on the wall. Perhaps because of the wide-angle lens, the proportions of the picture were a little unreal, but they still managed to photograph Master Wu who was going upstairs and Du Ling on the far side of the corridor. Rain, in addition to these contents, there is indeed something similar to "blank" at the edge of this photo. These things do not belong to the light brigade, nor are they simply space stretching, but some strange sights like the stars .
"There are some stretches around the buildings and characters. According to the principle of inversion, what I photographed is actually some white spots on the black background." Wei Dong frowned and studied, "What are these things?"
Mu Yiran also stared at it for a long time: "The amount of information in this photo is very large, let's analyze it step by step: According to Mai Peng, the speed used for this photo is 1/60 second, and the shooting time is when we just entered this world. , that is, the photo was taken an hour before we entered the picture.
"By comparing all aspects, it is almost certain that the girl who drew the line on the wall is Du Lingyu, that is to say, an hour before we entered the painting, another Du Lingyu was in this corridor.
"We haven't lit the lights when we entered the painting. If we analyze the previous time, this time point is one hour before zero, that is, 23 o'clock the day before the painting. This should be the time when another timeline is running, so the camera lens is only Additional 'members' will be photographed.
"But here comes the question. Obviously, the photo is also dark at night, because there are no lights in the corridor. Why did Du Lingyu come to the corridor alone at night? From the analysis of the blood on her body, it should be an emergency, but she The response was not to look for help, but to draw lines on the walls. It can be seen that drawing lines is a very important matter.
"Whether the blood on Du Lingyu's body is her own or someone else's, we don't know; we don't know whether the wizard who is going upstairs has anything to do with this matter; Du Lingyu once said, When she first came to this world, she felt a pain like being hit hard on her head. Was it a sorcerer, another Du Lingyu, or someone else who attacked her at that time..."
Fang Fei suddenly interrupted Mu Yiran's words: "When we first came to this world, if another Du Lingyu was in the same place, it would create a twin situation. Once the two met, it seemed that something terrible would happen. things."
"But Du Lingyu is relatively safe so far, and we haven't seen anything terrible happen to her." Qin Ci said.
"So let's make a bold assumption," Mu Yiran continued, "Master Wu stopped the bad consequences of twin births in time. Fang Fei once said that someone specially invited Master Wu to solve the situation of twin births. I guess that it would be serious. The sense of hitting is likely to be the art of cracking."
Fang Fei nodded excitedly: "I just saw that page of the book, the way to crack the twins is to pull the two together, and then 'click' on the Tianling cover!"
Wei Dong was also a little excited when he heard it. He couldn't believe that everyone had deduced to this extent based on just one photo: "This makes sense! But why did another Du Lingyu meet us? It stands to reason that everyone kept going. It's not a timeline, is it?"
Mu Yiran: "It seems that the time point when we first entered the painting is an important node, and it is also a node that causes the two timelines to overlap. At this node, it is very likely that people on the two timelines will meet."
"I still can't figure it out, why is Du Lingyu alone? Why is she alone in the big night? Where are the other 'we'?!" Wei Dong still couldn't understand.
Mu Yiran's face became a little ugly, and there was even a sympathy in his eyes that did not match his personality: "Perhaps, she was the only survivor at that time."
"What, what?" Everyone turned their attention to Mu Yiran's face, "You mean, at that time, on another time line, other people were already dead?"
