"Yes, they are indeed Fibonacci numbers."
Liu Hou nodded.
Fibonacci numbers were introduced by mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci using the example of rabbit reproduction, so they are also called the rabbit sequence. Similar sequence of numbers appear widely in nature.
For example, the prickly eyes on a pineapple are arranged according to Fibonacci numbers.
But that's not important.
The important thing is to know that the patterns on this spherical object are Fibonacci numbers, then it will be much easier to handle.
Liu Hou twisted the ancient sphere in his hand a few times in a specific direction, and soon, there was a clicking sound inside the sphere.
The ball was opened.
Opening the upper cover, Liu Hou and Shen Yi looked down at the light in the study room.
After just one glance, I was shocked.
Inside this sphere, a house is actually carved out.
The layout is exactly the same as Shen's house.
What's even weirder is that the outer perimeter of the miniature Shen Mansion is shrouded in black mist.
It's very similar to the current situation in Shen's house.
There are flowers and plants in the miniature sculptures, and the pavilions and buildings are lifelike. There are even some miniature figures in the peach room and study room. These miniature figures are about the size of grains of rice and can be seen clearly through the windows.
The more Liu Hou looked at it, the more frightened he became. He placed the miniature sculpture at eye level and looked into the study window.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
There were two little people standing in the study. Their posture, appearance, and clothing made it clear that they were him and Shen Yi.
"Is this the two of us?"
It was so weird that Shen Yi covered her mouth and turned pale.
She couldn't understand what was in front of her.
Liu Hou also didn't understand. If the sphere was an antique, how could the miniature carving inside it be that of Shen Zhai? Why did he and Shen Yi appear in Shen Zhai's study?
This looks like a live broadcast, which is creepy.
"Shu Ling, what is this thing?"
Liu Hou silently asked the Heavenly Book in his heart.
The Book of Heaven quickly answered: "Master, this is the Buddhist Sumeru phantom sculpture, used to detect evil objects within a radius. However, what the master has in hand is just a poor imitation. It can only reflect the current 100 meters. The vegetation and buildings in the area can hardly even show their evil spirit."
"The Xumi Phantom Sculpture, it turns out to be this thing."
Liu Hou understood.
Evil things were not unique to the Tang Dynasty. Which country in the world was not plagued by evil things in ancient times?
Although Buddhism is an import from thousands of years ago, it has always been acclimated to its ability to exorcise evil spirits. However, after incorporating the magical powers of Taoism, it has become its own school.
For example, the Sumeru Phantom Sculpture was born out of the Taoist technique of photographing thousands of miles away.
Liu Hou understood what this thing was, but he was even more surprised.
Although the Xumi Phantom Sculpture in his hand is just a poor imitation, it is not accessible to ordinary people. Where did Mr. Shen get it from? Is it possible that he really copied the experience of Leida Temple?
While thinking, Shen Yi seemed to see something strange in the Xumi phantom sculpture. She counted the figures in the mourning hall: "One, two, three, twenty, twenty-one! There are actually twenty-one in the mourning hall. The doll looks like my father, mother, uncle and aunt?"
"There are twenty-one people in the mourning hall? No, it must be nineteen."
Liu Hou frowned.
The Sumeru Illusion Sculpture can truly manifest the situation at the present location.
But, the number of people is wrong.
There are twelve people in the Shen family. One of them, Shen Yi, left with him, leaving only 11 people. Housekeeper Zhou and the two servants count as three. Lu Yinyang and the four still alive Taoist night watchmen count as five.
After all calculations, there were only nineteen people in total.
Where did the twenty-one people come from?
Who are the two extra people?
Liu Hou's face looked uncertain, and he suddenly shouted: "It's not good."
He dragged Shen Yi and ran towards the mourning hall as fast as possible.
——
——
At this time, in the mourning hall, because of fear, everyone hid in the mourning hall at first. Following Liu Hou's instructions, no one dared to step out.
Even if I want to pee or poop, I can bear it.
There is a limit to Keren's patience. Not long after he endured it, some Taoist priests on the night watch began to complain.
The first person to speak was an old Taoist from the countryside.
He is from a neighboring village, and years of exposure to the sun and rain have left his face wrinkled with age: "Mr. Shen, what your Shen family does is not authentic."
Mr. Shen frowned: "What's wrong with you in our Shen family?"
"So many strange things have happened to the Shen family, and they keep asking people to keep vigil for you. This is obviously your family trying to find a scapegoat."
The old Taoist priest sneered.
Mr. Shen scolded: "If I knew that such a big thing would happen, I would have dispersed my family long ago and would not come back. My Shen family will spend a lot of money to invite you."
"That money is enough to feed the dogs. It is far from enough to buy our lives."
The old Taoist priest curled his lips and said, "We have to pay more. Otherwise, even if we leave alive tomorrow, we still have to spread the word and let the people in the nearby villages know what evil things your Shen family did to earn the blood money you have now."
of."
Mr. Shen laughed angrily: "The money earned by my Shen family is pure, where is the blood money? Don't spit on others."
The old Taoist priest sneered: "Everyone knows how Mr. Shen of your family got rich in the past..."
Mr. Shen said angrily: "You want to say that my father copied the Leida Temple again? It's just a rumor in the countryside. In the end, a notice was issued in the town to tell everyone the truth."
"Humph, your family has a lot of money. It's easy to bribe the high-ranking officials in the town to make random announcements."
The old Taoist priest said: "If your Shen family had never done anything wrong, how could there have been a bloody disaster on the night when Mr. Shen returned to his soul? How could Mr. Shen have transformed into a corpse?
I think the abbot of Leida Temple who was forced to death by him turned into a ghost to take revenge."
"you!"
Mr. Shen would never encounter such a scoundrel on a daily basis, and he couldn't tell him apart verbally. What's more, in the current situation, there was nothing he could do about the evil ghost demanding his life from Shen's house.
Even he was confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
He was even thinking secretly in his heart, was it really his father who suffered hatred and revenge because of Leida Temple?
"How many do you want?"
He sighed.
It is better to do less than to do more. Let’s survive the night first.
Wait until tomorrow to take care of them.
The old Taoist priest was overjoyed and was about to speak.
He Hua on the side spoke first: "One hundred thousand."
"One hundred thousand yuan per person. If we take this one hundred thousand yuan, we will leave early tomorrow morning without saying anything."
The old Taoist priest was a swindling Taoist in the village. He originally wanted to extort tens of thousands, but they split it up. Unexpectedly, He Hua was so bold and asked for one hundred thousand per person.
This guy is so awesome.
"good."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen was more generous and agreed without saying anything about the price.
The four of them couldn't help being happy. Each of them could get an extra 100,000 yuan for no reason, and they could repair their house when they returned home.
"However, if something happens tonight, you have to go up and take care of it."
Mr. Shen said leisurely: "You can't just take money and not sacrifice your life."
"Of course." He Hua nodded happily, thinking that if the sky fell, there would still be someone taller who could hold it up.
As long as we don't leave this mourning hall, what will happen? Besides, that boy named Liu Hou, he is a real Taoist priest. Isn't he still carrying it?
The people in the mourning hall imply the fetus of ghosts.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall!
It startled everyone.
