Chapter 13 Evil Soldiers Spectrum
The forest is full of locust trees, but the big locust trees that Lao Kuizi mentioned are not difficult to find.
Because there are more than a dozen particularly conspicuous large locust trees in the forest, these locust trees have experienced hundreds or thousands of years of vicissitudes and storms, and they look like giant umbrellas that are two or three times thicker than other locust trees. They can be seen at a glance.
We counted from entering the forest and soon found the seventh big locust tree.
Now Gu Meidi and I are standing under this locust tree, looking up at the towering tree.
There is only one sigh in my heart, this big tree is so big!
The trunks require at least five or six adult men to hold hands before they can hug each other. The height is at least fifty meters. The lush branches and leaves spread in all directions, like a huge umbrella. Countless roots hang down from the trunks, and those roots are as thick as those of other locust trees. The thick and twisted roots entrench in the soil like pythons. Some roots even stretch out dozens of meters underground, and then emerge from dozens of meters away, mixed like a huge spider web.
Gu Meidi thought for a while, held his chin and said, "This old Kuizi really knows how to choose a place. Build things here. Could it be that some evil thing was buried!"
"What does it mean?" I don't quite understand the meaning of Gu Meidi.
Gu Meidi pointed to the big locust tree in front of me and told me: "This big locust tree is facing the West, and the West is called the Yin Realm, so its geographical location is Yin. The locust tree is shaped like an umbrella cover, covering up the yang energy, which is to gather Yin. This is called the 'Yin Gathering Umbrella' in Feng Shui. The yin energy here is extremely heavy, which is a bad place!"
"Do you still understand Feng Shui?" I was shocked. I heard Gu Meidi say something so concise, and it didn't seem like I was making up in a fool's mouth.
"Add some knowledge of the fur!" Although Gu Meidi was very modest, I just witnessed her Taoist skills with my own eyes. I believe Gu Meidi has a high magic power and is definitely not an ordinary martial arts warlock.
I walked around under the big locust tree, took out a small shovel prepared in advance from behind, and started working hard. Gu Meidi stood behind me, without making any noise, holding her arms to watch me dig.
I dig...I dig...I dig...I dig...
After digging for nearly half an hour, a square pit with a diameter of about one meter appeared under my feet.
I touched my sweat and cursed inwardly: "His grandma, this old Kuizi buried the things quite deep!"
After a few more shovels were taken in a row, the head of the shovel suddenly hit a hard object, making a metal collision sound.
I was delighted, shook my arms and swung the shovel like a hot wheel.
Soon, an ancient tin box appeared in front of me.
The iron box is not big, about thirty centimeters long and twenty centimeters high. It has a curved top, dark and looks lifeless. It is probably because it is too old, so the black paint on it has fallen off a lot, mottled like a bald head, revealing the bronze color inside.
I carried the iron box out of the ground, sat on the side and took a breath, then stared at the box in a daze: "What is there in the box? What did Lao Kuizi leave for me?" Thinking of Gu Meidi's evaluation of the "Suncity Umbrella" just now, I felt like Pandora's box was held in my hand. Once I opened the box, I couldn't tell that any monsters would appear.
Gu Meidi waited for a while, and probably saw that I was not moving, so she couldn't help but urged: "Hey! Don't be stunned with the box, open it and take a look!"
There was a locking bolt on the box. I grabbed it and pulled it gently. The lid on the top of the arc squeaked and flipped open, and a faint rosin drifted out of the box.
The box contained two things, a broken yellow book, and a strange weapon that was only twenty centimeters long.
I stared at these two things in a daze. I also made guesses about the things in the box, but after guessing, I really didn't expect that it would be like these two ragged things. I seemed very disappointed. I thought Lao Kuizi left me some golden lumps or valuable old antiques.
I picked up the broken book and read it. The skin seemed to be made of sheepskin, very old, with rough edges grinding on the edges. The paper turned yellow and emitted a musty smell, and there was a mixture of rosin. The edges of the broken book were sewn with red threads, and four small and round bronze coins were strung on it. There were three powerful and powerful words splashing ink like flying dragons in the writing: Evil Soldiers!
Evil soldiers?!
What a strange name!
I patiently opened the broken book and was immediately shocked by the contents in the book. It turned out that this was not an ordinary book, but a practice of Yin and Yang Techniques, which recorded various magical methods of cultivation, which was eye-opening. I only read a few pages and knew that it was a magic book, so I carefully put it into my close-fitting pocket.
I was curious and picked up the weapon and looked at it. Judging from the appearance of the weapon, it was similar to the ancient "gun". It was not the musket we used now, but the cold weapon used to stab in ancient times. The gun body was silver, and there was a wing-shaped armor at the place where the handshake was shook, which was very domineering.
I raised the gun and waved it twice, and the wind was blowing, emitting endless energy.
Suddenly, a clear sound was heard. The originally twenty-cm-long gun turned half a meter long. It turned out that the gun could be stretched and retracted, with silver light shining, like a dragon coming out of the sea. Even though it was buried under a tree for so long, it was still shining brightly. It was really a magic weapon. When I turned around, I saw that the extended gun was engraved with two ancient characters like flowing clouds: Tianxie!
I happily held this magic weapon. It turned out that the name of this gun was "Tianxie", which is such a good name!
I quickly became happy again. Although these two things are not valuable treasures, they are also considered two divine objects.
I turned around and saw Gu Meidi frowning. I asked her what she was thinking. Gu Meidi said, "I was wondering why Lao Kuizi gave you these things? And judging from the things he left behind, Lao Kuizi was also a Taoist person back then!"
"Lao Kuizi used to be a river craftsman on the Yellow River. He specialized in dealing with evil things in the Yellow River. Naturally, he had some Taoism!" I suddenly thought, maybe these two things were Lao Kuizi's personal treasures, a magic weapon, and a secret book for practicing Taoism. But there is one thing I can't understand, why did Lao Kuizi leave these things for me? He also said that this is my life? What a joke, he wouldn't let me take over his job and be a Yellow River craftsman, right?
I told Gu Meidi this idea, and Gu Meidi smiled: "That's great! I've been floating on the Yellow River all my life, free and respected, so good. There are so many people who have been in funerals after death, so glorious!"
"No!" I shook my head like a rattle. I studied hard just to get out of the village. I didn't want to deal with those evil things all my life.
"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go back first!" Gu Meidi asked me to leave.
"Finish!" I packed up the things, then buried the empty iron box again under the tree and filled the pit.
"By the way, please let me know something. Can you not tell grandpa what happened today?" I begged Gu Meidi and said, because intuition told me that there must be some unpleasant past between grandpa and Lao Kuizi. If grandpa knew that I came quietly to Lao Kuizi with him behind his back (after someone asked him to help him do things according to the request of the dreamer, it would be called "Returning Dream!"), and he inherited Lao Kuizi's things, grandpa would definitely be furious.
"Okay! But you have to promise me something too!" Gu Meidi smiled slightly and said to my ear: "Don't tell me about my knowledge of Taoism, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble!"
"Okay! One word is determined!"
"One word is certain!"
"If grandpa asks where we are, how can I answer him?"
"Just say we're going on a date!" Gu Meidi gave me a blank look: "Just laugh secretly in your heart, let you take advantage again!"
After walking for a quarter of an hour, Gu Meidi suddenly stopped: "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion.
Gu Meidi looked up and looked around: "Didn't you notice something is wrong? We have been walking in the woods for so long, why haven't we walked out?"
After Gu Meidi said this, I came to my senses and thought to myself, yes, we have been walking for a quarter of an hour, why are we still wandering around the locust trees? And looking around, we were covered with shadows of locust trees, and we seemed to have walked deep into the locust trees.
"Are we touched a ghost and hit a wall?" I asked anxiously.
Sometimes in the open fields or in the woods at night, people will be trapped in one place and cannot walk out. No matter how you walk, they will be wandering around in the same place. This phenomenon is called "ghost hitting a wall" among the people, which means that there are ghosts building walls that trap you and prevent you from going out.
Our current situation is very similar to ghosts hitting walls.
Gu Meidi shook her head, her face gradually became solemn. Then she suddenly said to the empty Lin Zi: "If you have a road in heaven, you won't go, and if you have no way to hell, you will break through. Ruolan, Ruolan, I kindly let you go, but I didn't expect you to come back and cause trouble for us!"
After Gu Meidi said this, I knew that the female ghost in red had come back to cause trouble for us. We couldn't get out of the forest for a long time. It was very likely that the female ghost in red was causing trouble.
Sure enough, Gu Meidi turned around and said to me: "We didn't encounter a ghost hitting a wall, this is the mystery set by Ruolanbu!"
"Hmph! I said, you all have to die! You all have to die!" Ruolan's sharp voice floated over the forest, piercing my ears very uncomfortable, just like a needle.
Gu Meidi said calmly without fear: "Okay, since that's the case, then use all your methods!"
