I replied: "We have discovered some mysteries, and now we need a long ladder of more than eight meters!"
"Why do you need a long ladder?" Jianjian asked in confusion.
"Because what we're looking for is probably hidden in the ceiling!"
"What!?" Lin Ke'er and Peter looked at each other, both of them looking a little surprised.
"How do you know that thing is hidden in the ceiling?" Lin Keer asked.
I briefly explained the situation. After Lin Keer listened, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.
After hanging up the phone, she said: "The ladder will be delivered in an hour. It is a herringbone ladder with a maximum height of ten meters."
"That's enough!" I nodded, turned around and said to Jianjian: "I'll go in first, and you call me when the ladder is delivered." After saying that, I turned around and wanted to climb back into the house through the window, but Lin Ke'er
But he opened his mouth and stopped me: "Wait a moment!"
"What's the matter?" I turned around.
Lin Keer took out something from her bag and handed it to me, saying, "Take this, you may need it later."
I took it and took a look, and it turned out to be the stone tablet that Mr. Lin Yezi was holding in his hand when he died! I was stunned for a moment, put the stone tablet into my pocket, and climbed into the house through the window.
Since the ladder hasn't been delivered yet, we can't climb up to see if there are really things sealed in the ceiling. We can only accompany Uncle Zhai to check the secret symbols on the stone pillars.
I don't know anything about secret symbols, so I can only join in the fun.
Uncle Zhai stared at the runes on the stone pillar and pondered for a long time. Suddenly he seemed to realize something. He patted his head and said loudly: "I understand!"
Huang Yixian immediately asked: "Do you already know the mystery contained in the dark talisman?"
Uncle Zhai nodded and said: "These secret talismans hide the spells corresponding to the stone pillars. For example, this stone pillar is the Eight Diagrams earthquake position, and among the secret talismans engraved on it, there is a five-thunder blasting curse hidden
!”
When I heard the Five Thunder Strike Curse, I couldn't help but be shocked. This is not an ordinary charm. It is said to be able to attract lightning to strike objects. It can be regarded as a kind of divine spell. Not to mention dealing with ghosts, even demons, it is not a problem. Of course.
, use a normal yellow form
Paper and cinnabar pens cannot produce such a powerful divine curse. A powerful spiritual aura field must be used to exert the effect of the divine curse. Therefore, divine curses are often engraved on stone tablets, because only by utilizing the endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth, can the divine curse be produced.
Only then can the divine curse be activated.
Huang Yixian frowned and said, "According to you, there are eight powerful spells hidden among these eight stone pillars?"
"That's how it should be!"
"Damn, this is too cruel."
"Then does it mean that to break this Qimen Bagua array, you also need to break the eight-way spell?" I asked from the side.
Uncle Zhai shook his head and said: "The Qimen Bagua Array is difficult to decipher! However, within these secret talismans, there are often hidden murderous intentions as well as ways to survive."
"What is a student?" I asked again.
Zhai Bo replied: "Qimen Dunjia combines the right time and place. The so-called Shengmen may refer to a specific time, or it may refer to a specific location."
Listening to what Uncle Zhai said, I suddenly remembered that Wen Qingshan once told me that to crack Qimen Dunjia, you need to use the right method at the right time, at the right place. What Uncle Zhai said is actually the same truth.
As we were talking, Jianjian shouted loudly outside: "The ladder is here!"
Huang Yixian immediately said: "Let's get the ladder in first and climb up to see the situation."
Guiyan Chen and I ran to the window, while Jianjian and Peter handed the ladder in from the outside. This ladder is not generally large. Although it is made of aluminum alloy, it still has some weight. It is still a bit heavy for one person to carry it.
Effortless.
Guiyan Chen and I carried the ladder one after another and carried it into the hall. Jianjian originally wanted to use the excuse of helping us carry the ladder and sneak in to take a look, but Guiyan Chen stopped him.
After the ladder was set up, it could not reach the ceiling, but it was a telescopic ladder. I found a crank handle on one side of the ladder and quickly raised the ladder to a height close to the ceiling.
I was about to climb up the ladder, but I was grabbed by Guiyan Chen. He asked me to step aside and said with a smile: "You have no experience, so let me go up! You can help me hold on from below."
ladder."
"You go up? You are so old..." Before I could finish my words, Guiyan Chen had already climbed up the ladder quickly. His speed was no different from that of a monkey.
When Huang Yixian saw this, he couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid this old boy must be in his seventies. How can he still be so strong? If I were an old man..., ugh!"
Ghost Eye Chen quickly reached the top of the ladder. He stood firm, took out a compass, and examined it carefully.
I stood below, holding the ladder with one hand, and he was shining the flashlight with the other hand. I thought the light was not bright enough, but he lowered his head and shouted to me: "Don't shine the flashlight on me!"
I couldn't help but wonder: "Can you see without using a flashlight to shine for you?"
Uncle Zhai said with a smile: "Lao San's yin and yang ghost eyes can see yin and yang in the dark. If it is illuminated by strong light, it will be disturbed."
Hearing what Uncle Zhai said, I quickly moved the flashlight to the side.
Ghost Eye Chen stood on the ladder, looking at the ceiling in the dark, while Huang Yixian and I were helping him hold the ladder below. Uncle Zhai continued to focus on the hidden symbols carved on the stone pillars.
I don’t know how long it took, but Guiyan Chen climbed down the ladder. Before his feet even touched the ground, he said excitedly: "We guessed right, there is indeed a mystery hidden in the ceiling! That Tai Chi pattern is actually a mechanism, I guess
There must be the evil thing we are looking for hidden inside!"
When Huang Yixian and I heard this, we immediately became energetic. Huang Yixian immediately turned around and asked Uncle Zhai: "Uncle Zhai, how are you doing?"
Uncle Zhai had already checked all the eight stone pillars. He frowned and seemed to be thinking about something. Huang Yixian was talking to him, but he didn't hear it at all and didn't respond at all.
I shouted again: "Uncle Zhai!"
Only then did he come back to his senses, looked at us, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Uncle Chen said that he has found the evil object, which is hidden in the ceiling. Have you understood the birth gate of the Qimen Bagua array?"
Uncle Zhai looked up at the ceiling, then shined a flashlight on it, and said, "I carefully studied the secret symbols carved on these eight stone pillars, and found that each secret symbol points to the same hour."
"What time is it?" Huang Yixian asked quickly.
"On the day of the lunar month!"
"When is the day of confinement?" Huang Yixian counted his fingers and said in surprise: "Isn't today the day of confinement?"
Uncle Zhai nodded: "That's right!"
Huang Yixian quickly raised his wrist and looked at his watch again, and couldn't help but be even more surprised: "It's twelve o'clock in the evening, which is midnight! Is it possible that now is the best time to open the treasure trap?"
Uncle Zhai frowned and said, "That seems to be the case, but I always feel that something is not quite right, so I am not sure yet. Or let me think about it again."
Huang Yixian waved his hand and said: "Since the time has come, let's not delay any more. This opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. In my opinion, let's activate the treasure hiding mechanism now!"
Uncle Zhai pondered for a moment and said, "Okay then! But everyone must be careful. If the magic circle is activated later, you must leave this place immediately!"
Huang Yixian nodded, turned to Ghost Eye Chen and said, "Then I'll excuse you, Brother Chen, to go up there again."
Unexpectedly, Ghost Eye Chen said: "Brother Huang, don't be anxious. If you want to open the treasure trap, you need one more thing!"
"What?" Huang Yixian asked.
Ghost Eye Chen replied word for word: "The key to unlocking the mechanism!"
"What!? You said there is a key to that mechanism?" Huang Yixian was surprised.
Ghost Eye Chen smiled and said: "Haha, it is said to be a key, but it should actually be an object that contains a specific aura. If my guess is correct, it should be the stone tablet left by Mr. Lin! Because of that
In the center of the Tai Chi pattern, there is a groove, no matter the shape or size, it is very similar to that stone tablet!"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but feel startled. Just when I was leaving, Lin Ke'er handed the stone tablet into my hand. I didn't expect it to come in handy. Was it just a coincidence, or did she actually know something?
What?
I hesitated for a moment, took the stone tablet out of my pocket, and handed it to Guiyan Chen: "You mean this thing?"
Ghost Eye Chen took the stone tablet from my hand and looked at it, a little surprised: "How come you have this stone tablet in your hand?"
I said: "Lin Ke'er gave it to me when I went out just now. She said maybe we could put it to use, but I didn't expect that she actually let her talk about it."
"Hehe, this girl is as clever as Xin'er! I'll go up and give it a try now!"
After Guiyan Chen finished speaking, he put the stone tablet in his pocket and climbed up the ladder. He quickly reached the highest point of the ladder. After standing firm, he took out the stone tablet from his pocket and carefully lifted it.
Put it into the groove in the center of the Tai Chi pattern.
As he said, the shape and size were just right. But strangely, nothing happened. The so-called treasure-hiding mechanism was not activated, and the Qimen Bagua array mentioned by Uncle Zhai was not activated.
I was just feeling puzzled when I suddenly felt a cold wind blowing towards me. I couldn't help but shudder. Before I knew what was going on, Uncle Zhai said loudly: "No! It's the Qimen Bagua array! Third brother, hurry up."
Come down!"
Ghost Eye Chen didn't care about taking the evil object anymore, and immediately slid down the ladder quickly. We turned around and were about to leave, but suddenly we found that there seemed to be a black curtain slowly falling around the hall, and soon the entire hall was enveloped.
I got up. I took a flashlight and looked around. I couldn't see anything anymore, only endless darkness.
The few of us didn't care to think about why this situation happened, we just ran towards the exit. Unexpectedly, after running for a while, we haven't reached the end yet!
