The three beasts were very depressed. They had no money left for gambling after the New Year. They drank and went up the mountain to see the snow scene, which was a way to relieve their mood. They didn't want to meet us again, so they just wanted to rob some money and go back to play dice. But they were not careful and were almost killed by us. When they escaped from the mountain crevice and were about to enter the tunnel, they encountered a black shadow and screamed loudly. Fortunately, they entered the tunnel entrance before the black shadow took action.
The three of them had been hiding in the fairy vines, waiting for nightfall to escape to Duanlong Village for refuge. As a result, they were seduced by the evil spirits and finally thrown into the well by me. They were lucky not to fall to death. The evil spirits that rushed up slowed down the downward impact of the fall, and the deep mud at the bottom of the well saved the lives of the three beasts. But their legs and feet were injured, and they lay there after walking a few steps and could not get up again. It was so cold in the well, and everyone had nothing to eat or drink. Under the cold and hunger, the weakest little wanderer froze to death first, followed by Xiaohezi. He pulled the two people on his body as a quilt and survived until today.
After hearing his story, I sneered and said, "The secret you told is of no value to us." Then I was about to stand up.
Brother Niu got anxious and said hurriedly, "The secret hasn't been told yet, don't leave in a hurry."
Shen Bing stood up and said, "Then hurry up and tell me, we are in a hurry."
"I know where your little flag is."
This secret was so valuable that I squatted down excitedly and asked, "Where is the flag?"
"Out there at the bottom of the well, under the stinking water..."
Without waiting for the boy to finish, I turned around and ran out. I finally understood why the little white flag could not be called back. It was contaminated by the sewage and the spell was broken, which was equivalent to a piece of waste. I ran out of the cave and reached my hand into the stinky water for a while. Finally, I touched the flag. I pulled it out and saw that it was indeed my little white flag. I was so excited that I didn't care about the strong stench and wiped the water stains on my chest.
Shen Bing then ran over and asked, "Did you find it?"
"Yes, I found it." I waved the small white flag back.
"It stinks..." Shen Bing stepped back and dodged.
After wiping the stinky water off, he took out a plastic bottle filled with snow water and washed it, chanting a spell to open the door. The pointed ghost, Lin Mengxi, San Ya and Xia Muchun ran out coughing, looking like they were about to be suffocated to death.
"Master, if you let us out a little later, we would be suffocated by the stench!" The pointed-headed ghost shouted, covering his nose.
“Big brother, it stinks, it stinks…” San Ya tried hard to take a few breaths of fresh air, then quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.
I couldn't help but laugh: "San Ya, is it me who stinks or the flag? Please explain it to me."
"It's the flag..." San Ya covered her mouth and let out a muffled cry.
Shen Bing and I asked them how they fell into the well. Lin Mengxi said that after they walked around the nearby hills, they found that the well was filled with evil spirits, so they ran over to take a look out of curiosity. As a result, they encountered an attraction and were sucked in. Then they sank under the stinking water, and no one could help them.
I thought to myself that this was not the first time that the enemy had attracted the little white flag. What method did they use? Before I figured it out, I couldn't release the little white flag again. So I let them catch their breath, then put them back into the flag and put them in the bag.
We promised Brother Niu, but we were reluctant to save him. I touched my nose. Damn, I almost vomited. I rolled my eyes and said to Brother Niu, "We don't have much strength to walk now, don't even think about us carrying you. Let's leave some food for you, and we'll find a way to get you out after we come back from Duanlong Village." Then I took out some food from my bag. It was the leftover barbecue.
"No, I'll tell you another secret. Please take me out, otherwise I will freeze to death." Brother Niu pleaded in a crying voice.
Damn, this kid has a lot of secrets. We both squatted down and said, "Tell me about it."
Brother Niu said with a bitter face: "Master Cao asked the three of us to keep buying fine steel and ebony to put in this tunnel, which cost us a lot of money. I think this must be a secret, because of this matter, Master Cao told us not to leak any wind, otherwise he would kill us."
I was stunned. Why did they buy fine steel and ebony? Fine steel is easy to buy, but ebony is very valuable. Ebony is also called Yinchen wood, and is known as the sacred wood of the East. It is formed after millions of years of carbonization and is very valuable. There is a saying that a piece of ebony at home is better than a box of treasures. If this thing is used to make a coffin, it would be the best, but it is too extravagant. Not to mention ordinary people, even rich people can't afford it, because it is too difficult to find a formed ebony.
This is a secret, even though I am a little interested, I still can't take him away. Shen Bing and I looked at each other, she blinked, with a cunning look, and turned to ask Brother Niu: "Where are those things you mentioned?"
"It's just a few miles ahead. You'll see it when you get there."
"Okay, let's go and see if there is any. If you are telling the truth, we will come back to pick you up." Shen Bing pulled me up and left.
"You must keep your word..."
I thought to myself, what's the point of keeping a promise to a person like you? I won't even leave you any food. If you can hold out for another year or two, maybe someone will pass by and rescue you.
We walked forward for a while, and every ten or so meters, there was a pile of bones. It seemed that they were not dead things showing off their achievements, but were arranged for a purpose. This made me wonder, could it be a method of cultivating some kind of evil spirit in the sorcery
After walking three or four miles, a large circular cave appeared in the tunnel. There were piles of bones on the ground, and there were exactly twelve of them. In the center was a piece of black wood that was neither round nor square. It was about the size of a large plate, and there were obvious cracks on it. It looked like it was made up of several pieces of wood. But the strange thing was that no nails were used, and some places were naturally fused together, which was very magical.
It suddenly dawned on me that this was ebony. Damn it, I understood what they were going to do. They were refining the black wooden plate!
If the collected fine steel is as expected, it should be used to refine the Heavenly Lantern. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get goose bumps on my back. I vaguely guessed that the layout of the ghost town was designed by Cao. The Soul-Zhao Well in Duanlong Village is the authentic one. There are piles of corpses under the ghost town, and the bones here are all carefully designed, so that the dead things in the Soul-Zhao Well can be used to refine the evil things forbidden by the Heavenly Dao.
Thinking of this, I have a deeper understanding of why they want to break the dragon. Their real purpose is to use the broken dragon to cover up the prying eyes of the heavens and secretly offer sacrifices to the heavenly lanterns to illuminate the heart. This is the thing that the Chief Executive is most afraid of. Why do the Yin-Yang people in Nanshan still want to do this little trick? Aren't they afraid that their whole family will be sent to hell or the realm of the dead
